FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT uses gcc 3.3.3, and has been using gcc 3.x for nearly 2 years. I think reports of major speed increases for real-world applications are likely to be mostly hype, though (yes, I'm sure you can find microbenchmarks that demonstrate performance increases). > also, 5.3R's release date is "TBD 2004." What's TBD stand for? To Be Determined. > frankly, is 5.3R worth waiting for? or should i go with 5.2.1? Take a look at the features listed for 5.2.1 (and 5.2 and 5.1 and 5.0, back to whatever version you currently have installed) and decide for yourself whether it's worthwhile updating.

Which compiler is used for ISO binaries?
Hello, I was just wondering which compiler is used to compile the binaries on the freebsd iso's. I am holding out from upgrading until it is compiled with gcc3 preferably gcc3.3. I remember it was a big deal when RH linux was shipped compiled with gcc3 and advertised speed increase. I'm currently on freebsd 5.0p4 current or something like that. I'm intrigued by ATAng, since the only way i'm getting the ata drives to spindown is with a patch i found online. also, 5.3R's release date is "TBD 2004." What's TBD stand for? frankly, is 5.3R worth waiting for? or should i go with 5.2.1? This is my very first freebsd install (started with 5.0R when it just came out) and I don't think I took very good care of it. ports building are failing left and right, for one. It's acting as my household all-purpose server for the family as well as my personal desktop, so I left it alone all this while. I'm itching to start fresh with the knowledge i gained about freebsd. Lastly, does anybody have any personal experience with freebsd nfs server and mac os x nfs client? more specifically, how to map uid and gid? thanks in advance -- Seunghun T.

Well, it's not usually necessary, because the program names

However, for the current session, "alias myalias someprogram" will
work.
For *every* session, you should put the aliases in your resource

Several are already set up. You can list the aliases
present in the current environment by using "alias"
with no arguments, but I'd recommend looking at the
stock .profile or .cshrc so you can learn a thing or two.

AGP Probe problems (5.2.1/5.2/4.9)
Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD for the first time, but I've run into a problem. I have tried 4.9, 5.2, and 5.2.1. There are a couple of symptoms for what I think are the same problem. 1. On booting from the CD, during the machine hangs after the following message (I'm guessing it is probing the hardware): agp0: mem 0-0x at device 0.0 on pci0 The same thing happens regardless of which boot option I choose (regular, no ACPI, safe, etc). So I couldn't install from CD. After some experimentation, I ended up booting from the floppy images (apparently the floppy images don't do the same stuff to probe the hardware). I was able to install just fine this way. But when I booted the machine after the install completed, I get the same message. Can anyone help me? I would really like to use FreeBSD on this machine. The hardware is: HP NetServer e60 dual P3-500 256mb ram SCSI and IDE drives I have successfully used Linux (2.2 and 2.4 kernels, RedHat), Solaris, and Windows 2000 on this hardware. The AGP implementation may be buggy on the hardware, but these other OSes work ok. Any ideas? Thanks, Nate Swenson _ Persistent heartburn?

enabling splash screen delays booting
hi all, I wanted to have an image flash up on the screen instead of having to watch lines scroll on the screen when the system boots up. (device splash is enabled in GENERIC by default) SO I did: 1.kldload splash_bmp 2.then copied a BMP file(PEA.bmp) to /boot/kernel 3. to /boot/loader.conf 3.1 splash_bmp_load="YES" 3.2 bitmap_load="YES" 3.3 bitmap_name="PEA.bmp" (as I am writing this mail away from the BSD m/c, I realise that I am not sure the BMP is 320*200 & is probably more than 256 colours) When I rebooted, all I saw was text, then the BSD devil (beastie) and then text again. Since I did not see my desired BMP, I kldunload'ed the splash_bmp, and commented out the lines from /boot/loader.conf BSD "beastie" is not my default screen saver - green saver is. Now when I reboot the m/c, all I get is a blank screen (probably my current GREEN screen saver) instead of the BSD devil. Why is the screen saver getting picked up now that SPLASH has been disabled? Or is there some other problem? Any help will be appreciated. TIA rgds, = -- K E S H A V T A D I M E T I -- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

nForce2 Soundstorm on 5.2.1 Release
Hello, I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, which has a nVidia Soundstorm audio chipset on it. However, I can't seem to get this chipset to detect in 5.2.1 Release, no matter what I try. Being relatively new to FreeBsd, I don't really know that many ways to go about trying to get it to detect. I was hoping someone out there might be able to tell me something to try, or at least confirm for me that this chipset doesn't currently have a driver that works, so I can stop banging my head against the wall. Also, on a completely unrelated note, how do you get the mouse scroll wheel to work?

I take it that you are still trying to manage ad10 through the RAID capable controller. No real information but I would guess the controller is still seeing information on the drive ad10 which ties it in with some other disk for RAID. If you have a regular on board ATA interface I'd try plugging the drive in there (you can do it with all other drives removed for safety) and then try to initialise using an installation CD. If that works I imagine you can put every thing back in your prefered configuration and continue.

Maybe some more specifics would be helpful. The application is a web application. It may or may not end up open source, but it will be for sale, and I don't want it to inherit a restrictive license. It uses some PHP (Open Publication License), is served by Apache (Apache Software License), and is backed by PostgreSQL (BSD license). Currently I'm using a PHP template engine called Smarty (LGPL). Here, my application would be a 'work that uses the library'.

It loops three times, and then stalls indefinitely. If you need more info, I'd be happy to provide. Please help! Thanks a mil.

I think your box will automatically figure out which IP numbers are on which interface, and forward appropriately.

The FreeBSD /etc/mail/Makefile makes this pretty easy.
Edit the /etc/mail/hostname.mc file. If you don't have one, I think the
first make will create it. Add this type of line for the DNSBLs you
want to use (warning: one long line):
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `list.dsbl.org', `"554 Mail from " $&{client_addr} "
rejected, site listed on http://www.dsbl.org";')
Important note: please don't use any DNSBL without at least reading
their policies. Misunderstanding are way too easy to make.
Then do a 'make all install restart' and it's done.

Bill, Thanks for your reply, but I guess I don't understand how that would help me. My problem is not inter-machine communication, it seems to be inter-process communication. Both Mutt and esmtp work independently of each other. I can have Mutt use the local sendmail and it works fine. I can run esmtp from the command line locally (presumably just like Mutt would) and it happily creates an SSH tunnel to the remote server, and talks to the sendmail daemon there, and delivers. However, when I have 'set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/esmtp"' in my ~/.mutt/muttrc Mutt just hangs trying to send the mail, no error message, nothing. Perhaps I'm not understanding how tcpflow would help me diagnose what things are being traded between these two programs running locally. I know that tons of people must be using Mutt & esmtp together just fine. Is there a particular config variable that I didn't set, a peculiarity that I'm not taking into account, or something about FreeBSD or my shell (tcsh) that is intercepting a control character or something? -- Ross ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have a freebsd box that was configured by Interland. They offer no support on sendmail configuration and I would like to add some of the dnsbl lists to stop some of the spam received by the server. I have looked over the sendmail.org site and now I think I'm even dumber that I was before. I have tried all kinds of iterations of: /m4 /etc/mail/freebsd.mc > sendmail.cf and have had no luck in generating a working sendmail.cf file. My current sendmail.cf file is 45k ish and every time I attempt generating a new one it never gets above .5k. I am using the freebsd.mc file they told me I needed to use.

Re: Bandwidth tracking/monitoring on Freebsd
Hello, There is MRTG (/usr/ports/net-mgmt/mrtg) for constant monitoring of inbound/outbound traffic, data are also available in graph format. Or you can try ntop (/usr/ports/net/ntop). Or you can write your own script analyzing data from ipfw counting :). I use mrtg and ntop for monitoring of my bandwith, and management is satisfied with both. There are more tools, maybe others might point you to them. Cheers, Martin On Sat, Apr 10, 2004 at 04:20:21PM -0400 or thereabouts, Dragoncrest wrote: > Hi all. Got a question.

The INDEX files are only built on an AMD 2400+. They are ftp'ed to the other machines where I only do the cvsup and create the logs. The other machines are only cvsup'ed when necessary. They may go for several weeks. When the ports are updated, they are updated from packages created on ruby and shared on the other 4.x computers.. I try to keep ruby in such a state that if someone has problems building a port, I can test build it on an up todate system. The logs let me come close to pin pointing who broke things if it was the committer. Cvsuplog makes that easier because it creates an HTML link to the cvsweb cgi for the file that was changed.

As the >> cant goes "Free speech, not free beer". We all use loose language like that, but a "software seller" should keep in mind that usually he's really doing two things: publishing (or at least distributing) copies of the software and licensing use of the software. The GPL seems to permit charging anything for the publishing (but see clause 3b for an exception) while prohibiting any charge for the licensing (but see the clauses which require fees in the form of cross-licensing some derivative works). I have no idea how it's legally permissible to say that your one "bundle" price only applies to the publishing and not the licensing, but I've never heard that any publishers or licensors worry about it. Also remember that not only the chunks of software like "readline" carry licensed and sub-licensable copyrights, but that your arrangment of the chunks as the collection that you publish (your product) is copyrightable, and a careful buyer will want a license for that too, which must (per the GPL) be compatible with the GPL. (The GPL does, of course, allow distribution with closed-source software. I think the GPL's "further restrictions" clause should be a problem here, but I'm not aware that any GPL licensor has complained about any "further restrictions" in such kinds of GPL derivatives as your product will be.) > Would it be arguable that I was, in fact, selling only the > hardware and my own software application, and giving away the (GPL- > and BSD-licensed) open source software for free? I'll have to refer you to a lawyer. Maybe it depends upon what the sales contract says. Maybe not. Or maybe if you have no right to sell licenses for a fee, then it's implied that you're not selling it. But it's easy to get too wrapped up in worrying about technicalities that most people seem happy to ignore. Good question; I've not seen this bundling issued discussed before. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Networking Questions
Hi All, I am new to the list, but I have tried researching the archives and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for and would like your opinion on how to do this: I have a 4Meg DSL connection with Multiple Static IPs. 69.63.33.### is my main IP that my router or System that does authentication will always get. 209.213.231.###/29 is my block of 8 other IP's that route to my main IP. Right now I have my fsb box running mail/web and other services and I would like it to do the routing for my internal network of 4 or so computers. I have a Hub that I can plug these other systems in to so that is not a problem. What would be the best way to use my block of statics and have them Route properly through my BSD box. I would like to stay away from NAT as I know it right now, broadband router, as it causes havoc with my filesharing programs and would like to have my other systems pretty much open to the internet and then start locking them down as need be once I get them seeing the outside world and the outside world seeing them.

Since you will now be running portsdb -uU, you should refuse ports/INDEX[-5]. This dependis on whether you are running 4.x or [-5] if you are running 5.x. You are going to recreate the INDEX file and it takes a long time to redownload even over a 100Mbps network. Since you have recreated your INDEX file, cvsup will download it everytime you cvsup ports-all. The refuse saves you from re-downloading a don't need 5 MB file. > > Now I think I know how to do these things and after another upgrade I > think I'm ready to at least do the cvsup part using cron. The hardest part of a cron job is finding that magic time after the hour that never fails because your cvsup-mirror is over committed. The mirrors always update on the hour and you have to wait at least 10 minutes for the mirror to finish its cvsup. If you don't, you are getting data from the mirror's previous update. I currently schedule my local mirror update at 25 minutes after the hour. It has been more than 2 days since the update failed. All mirrors are not created equal. When something major like FreeBSD 4.10 is released, there is no magic time and you will probably find that the cronjob frequently fails for around a day.

Hi all! My question may not be specific to FreeBSD, but can anyone tell me how to change the default font size on a console (directly connected monitor) session when there is no X running? I'm used to accessing BSD boxes remotely via Putty, but now I have one at home plus a decent size monitor, and the text size is just overwhelming. Since you can't page up/down in a console session, it's proving to be somewhat of a problem.

For traceroute to work correctly, you must be able to receive ICMP TIME EXCEEDED and ICMP PORT UNREACHABLE packets, and the target system must reject (rather than accept or silently drop) the query packet that reaches it. You must also be able to send UDP packets to arbitrary ports. If you are not seeing anything at all along a multi-hop path, I suspect that you have a firewall blocking incoming ICMP TIME EXCEEDED packets, but there are many other possibilities.

Can't *write* to a hard disk, not even a slice using fdisk(8).
Hello, Here is my problem. I had a hard disk for one year now, working together with an other identical disk in a _hard_ mirror. One month ago, I noticed the mirror was not active, found that the second part of the mirror was not responding and decided to recreate completely the mirror after making some fresh backup (from the valid part of the RAID-1). Te newly created mirror seems to work fine until yesterday, when I need to reboot the system... and the mirror was not responding for a second time. But this time it was not possible to create a new fs on the recreated mirror as I did before. For the moment, the system works great on a single disk. But the fact that the BIOS and FreeBSD sees the "faulting" disk without problem makes me in doubt. I can't see any error from the OS point of view (nor in syslog nor in console) but now I can't even _partition_ it with fdisk(8), saying that "Operation not permitted"! - My OS release is FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4. - The disk is a 120Go/8Mo from Maxtor (UDMA133). - What dmesg(8) says about it: # grep ad10 /var/run/dmesg.boot GEOM: create disk ad10 dp=0xc6ab2660 ad10: 117246MB [238216/16/63] at ata5-master UDMA133 - But when I tried to create a slice on it, I get: # fdisk -BI ad10 *** Working on device /dev/ad10 *** fdisk: can't write fdisk partition table: Operation not permitted 1/ How can I be certain that the hard disk is dead (even if it seems not to be)? 2/ Is there someting I can do to test/repair it? 3/ Anything else to say to diagnose my problem?

Hi! Well, as long as you can set up a serial console to them (whether in software, like described in the handbook, or via hardware BIOS redirection like Dell, HP and so on), then you could simply buy a remote console switch off-the-rack, and be happy. I worked a lot with the cyclades-TS series, you simply connect via ssh to them (they run embedded linux), and they forward this connection to the specific serial port.

The device you're looking for is a 'Console Server'. There are any number of such devices available off the shelf -- Lantronix makes some reasonably good ones. However, if you don't want to spend money, you can daisy-chain your FreeBSD boxes together using null-modem cables between the serial ports and use tip(1) as a terminal emulator.

Happy Easter all! Here is an off-the-wall question I have 4 servers in Toronto (I live in London, about 120 miles south).

You don't need to argue. You can sell your own GPL software for $500, but you need to provide the GPLed source and the redistrib/modify rights.

direction needed [ part of 5.2 portupgrade hairball ]
I'm still trying to bring the portupgrade process to successful conclusion on my 5.2 system. I'm trying to avoid any more "well, let's try this and see what happens" experiments as they simply take so long - so I'm asking for some directions to help me reach the end from here. I've completed 'portupgrade -fr gettext'. At the tail end of that process I received a list of ports that were skipped or failed (see below). I'm guessing that these exceptions are a result of unsatisfied dependencies, but I don't know how to resolve them without (potentially) creating still more problems. Any advice would be appreciated - if there's something I should be reading to help sort this out for myself I'd appreciate a pointer... so far I've been unable to find any specific advice in the handbook.

Hello, For a certain niche market, I am considering selling a software application by pre-installing it on a small machine running FreeBSD, and then selling the whole thing. Are there any implications arising from the GPL (or other more-restrictive-than-BSD licensed) code in the tree? Would it be arguable that I was, in fact, selling only the hardware and my own software application, and giving away the (GPL- and BSD-licensed) open source software for free? I presume that the GPL would require me to at least make the source code of the GPL-covered parts of FreeBSD available on request (Section 3(b)), given that I would not be including the FreeBSD source code (it simply wouldn't be required) in the installation.
