ppp problems : Modem connection issues on FreeBSD 5.2.1
Hi, I have a DSL modem with Globespan chipset. I am trying to use eciadsl usemode program ( http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php?lang=en ) on FreeBSD 5.2.1 (AMD Athlon 2600 , A7N8X-VM motherboard). However , I am getting the following error and ppp connect failed . See the copy/paste from the terminal below : # ppp -background adsl Working in background mode Using interface: tun0 Child failed (errdead) After some more digging , I was able to enable logging . (See log below) From whatever I see in the log , I guess the culprit is the line which says : Too many LCP NAKs sent - abandoning negotiation . But I don't know how to address this problem . Could anybody please help me on this . NOTE that I am able to connect to my provider using the 0.8 version of usermode eciadsl program on Linux , on the same machine . Also , is there any other program which can be used on FreeBSD for this purpose ? FYI , I have to use *ppp over ATM ( PPPoA* == RFC2364 ) for this connection .

Here is the requirement: 1) the mail server should run both smtp and imap, sending and accepting emails 2) mail server should be able to ask for confirm before it deliever executables. Or it should be able to reject all emails with Windows executable file attached 3) should be albe to extend to handle multi-domains in the future I don't really understand what part of email server is handled by what program. I thought I need a sendmail plus a imap server (cyrus comes out in my mind, but I don't know if it should be my choice), is that all? I'm the kind of lazy guy not to RTFM, but I need direction guide, suggestion from you so that I know what the f**k manual to read:) Hmmm... I judge that you need four components: i) An MTA -- this is the daemon that handles transmission of e-mail between sites. It's the bit that speaks SMTP. There are 4 major implementations available of various degrees of popularity, with various pros and cons: sendmail exim qmail postfix There are others, including various 'all-in-one' mail solutions based on one or other of those packages. You should also consider whether you need to provide 'SMTP AUTH' -- so your users have to authenticate themselves before they can inject a new message into the system via your server. (All of those MTAs can provide that, but usually require some extra software libraries to be linked in with them). ii) An IMAP server. Again, there are several choices available, but which one you choose depends in part on: iii) A delivery agent. This actually defines the format in which e-mail mailboxes are stored. The choice of formatis is basically: mbox -- the traditional format provided under Unix: almost all delivery agents (and IMAP daemons) will deal with this format, but of note are mail.local(1) and procmail(1) Maildir -- As used by the courier system. Also handled by procmail(1) Cyrus -- essentially requires you to use the rest of the Cyrus system for your mail server. Thus if you choose mbox format you can use dovecot, UW imapd or dkimap4. For Maildir, you can use dovecot, UW imapd, bincimap or courier-imap. (Personally, I prefer to use dovecot for the security features). iv) An anti-virus/anti-spam solution, which will let you filter out MS executables. Having the server *ask* for confirmation on sending questionable content is probably not the right thing to do. If user interaction is required, it should be provided by the users' mail program running on their desktop. The server should implement your policy as a simple accept/reject of the message (although you could choose to accept, but mark the message as probably infected or spam). Look at: Spam Assassin (the port is called p5-Mail-SpamAssassin) clamav anti-virus Amavisd -- lets you integrate all sorts of AV and anti-spam solutions into various Unix mail systems. Another consideration you will want to bear in mind: do you want to give all of your e-mail users full blown accounts on your mail server, or do you want to provide and 'e-mail only' service? If the latter, you will need to look at the more 'professional' solutions, which are designed to work generally on a larger scale and which tend to be a bit more complicated to set up. The Cyrus stuff is the extreme expression of that. I hope that gives you sufficient ammunition for you to be able to better target your searches for more information.

Problems with filename with spaces (was Pipes and commands thatrequire two arguments)
Thanks very much for the previous help - I missed the example in man xargs. The files I am trying to manipulate include spaces in the file names, and I cannot seem to escape them effectively.

Hi, I´m currently using the book by Gary R. Wright and W Richard Stevens ¨TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2¨, which uses the 4.4BSD-Lite source code as example. My question : Up to which version of FreeBSD is the 4.4BSD-Lite code used ? Has it changed much and if so is the source code for older version of FreeBSD and/or the code for 4.4BSD-Lite still available for download somewhere ? I am doing a MSc computer science project (Stellenbosch University, South Africa) and want to generate the TCP protocol from a verified SPIN model automatically. Any help will we greatly appreciated.

Re: MS Excel/Word compatible ports?
I know, I know, I could probably find the answer to this question myself, but I thought I'd save myself the time and trouble. :-) Let someone else take the time and trouble??? Does anyone know of any ports in the ports collection that can read/write/edit MS Excel/Word files? I need this for a project I've been assigned at work. Openoffice works just fine for Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. But, in this one case, don't try to build it from ports. It takes forever and more than 4GB disk. They have already built packages for FreeBSD that install just nicely. Go to http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ Pick the latest package that suits your situation Download it to /usr/local and run pkg_add on the compressed file. Then, to set it up, run /usr/local/OpenOffice1.1.0/program/soffice Note the OpenOffice1.1.0 will vary according to what version you download and where you tell it to put the Openoffice files. Put that directory in your path. After that, soffice, swriter, etc will start what you want. It works fine as helper utilities in your browser too. jerry Thanks! -- Conrad Sabatier [EMAIL PROTECTED] - In Unix veritas ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
portupgrade-razor-agents, amavis, sa errors
Unfortunately, it rebuilt many things and the output of the compile had scrolled off (is there a log somewhere of what happened?), but after a portupgrade I was greeted with the following error: * [Updating the pkgdb format:bdb1_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 118 packages found (-0 +1) . done] ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! mail/razor-agents (razor-agents-2.36_3) (unknown build error) * mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin (p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63) * security/amavisd-new (amavisd-new-20030616.p8_1) --- Packages processed: 9 done, 105 ignored, 2 skipped and 1 failed ** I'm assuming this means that amavis and spamassassin were skipped in updating, although I don't know why, and there was a problem with razor agents? Would the problem with razor-agents have caused the other two to fail, since I thought that amavis requires spam assassin which may also rely on razor-agents? Has anyone else run into this? before I blindly chart a course of action, I'd like to hear from the more experienced admins out there who can tell me what I should do...it also rebuilt squid and clamav on this system and stopping and restarting squid, clamd, and amavis seems to all have succeeded...Did I do something wrong?

Re: Can't *write* to a hard disk, not even a slice using fdisk(8).
GEOM doesn't let you write to an active device, except if you set kern.geom.debugflags=16 Ok no problem, I changed it this way: # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 kern.geom.debugflags: 1 - 16 But it seems to change *absolutly nothing*... :( [...] Mmmhh... We're doing something wrong here I guess :o Are you 100% sure that ad10 is not used by any open geom modules? What does dmesg say about ar*? Well, I see that geom tastes ad10 and creates a slice class for it... However, if kern.geom.debugflags=16, you should still be able to touch the slice. If debugflags=16 I know of no reason why you shouldn't be able to partition de disk; sorry, I'm stumped :( Ok, some news here. I can't be able to access/write to ad10 using fdisk for example... under FreeBSD-5.x (OS version installed on the server). But I gave a try to the CD 4.9-i386-mini.iso and... I succeed to create a slice on ad10 and even to partition and write some files on it! So, what I can say here: - The disk seems not to be dead; - But after I had modify it under the 4.9 CDROM, I can't access it (fdisk, bsdlabel, etc.) under the installed and running OS on this machine: FreeBSD 5.2.1. :( It seems that 'Joan' was in the right direction arguing to play with kern.geom.debugflags, but it didn't work for me.

GeForce FX 5800 Ultra with Nvidia Drivers on 5.2
Hi, I am having trouble using my FX 5800 Ultra with the FreeBSD Nvidia driver, which I installed from the ports collection. If I try to use the Nvidia driver when I start X I get a garbled screen with a few letters and symbols (like the smiley face) and some blocks of flashing colour, but mostly just a grey pattern character. The machine does not respond to input at this point, I have to hard restart the machine because Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (or Delete) do nothing. The card works fine with the vesa drivers, but not with the nv drivers which makes the display show a sort of pink fuzzy pattern with scrolls upwards (nothing to do with frequency at my monitor just blanks the screen if it is out of range). The machine is still responsive with the nv drivers though. I have tried the nvidia drivers with the NvAgp setting set to all possible settings and it is the same (don't know if that should make a difference or not). I have taken a photo of the screen which is at http://www.insipidity.co.uk/nvidia.jpg Is anyone else using the nvidia drivers with a FX 5800 Ultra, and did you encounter any problems? I hope I can fix this because I am trying to rid myself of Windows, but I need hardware acceleration so I can play games.

Re: USB via module instead of kernel?
On Mon, Apr 12, 2004 at 10:34:13PM -0400, Jesse Sheidlower wrote: I'm new to this kernel-module thing, so I hope this isn't a silly question. I'm using FreeBSD 5.2 on a laptop running ACPI, and like many others have had suspend/resume problems with the USB dying on resume. I saw a suggestion somewhere that you could remove USB support from the kernel, and add it in via a .ko file at boot time; this way, you could have an rc.suspend and rc.resume that unloads/loads the USB module appropriately and perhaps avoid the problems. I'm not entirely sure how to do this. First, I note that the device usb line in the kernel configuration file has a Required note in it, and I'm nervous about removing something that says Required. Second, while I have a usb.ko file under /boot/kernel/, if I type kldload usb, I get a can't load usb: File exists message, but if I try kldunload usb, I get can't find file usb: No such file or directory. I might have expected a different message if usb is loaded as part of the kernel. If I want to enable it at boot, do I just add usb_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf ? So to summarize, I guess my questions are: 1) Can I comment out device usb from my kernel config and then rebuild the kernel, without causing some big problem? Responding to myself, the answer is no; removing device usb from the kernel config causes errors at make, so I had to go back. I still can't seem to load or unload usb as a module. Any suggestions welcome.

I recompiled the kernel aftering adding device pcm. After reboot and dmesg | grep pcm I get the following: pcm0: SiS 7012 at device 2.7 on pci0 pcm0: unable to map IO port space device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 Can someone please guide me through the process of troubleshooting in a step-by-step fashion? There isn't one. I see the following and all I did was add option pcm and follow the steps in the Handbook. Since it isn't working for you, you may have some competition for the I/O port space. pcm0: SiS 7012 port 0xc400-0xc43f,0xc800-0xc8ff irq 10 at device 2.7 on pci0 pcm0: C-Media Electronics CMI9738 AC97 Codec You might get a clue by running pciconf -l. You might also find something by doing a boot -v instead of booting the normal way. They may have added a new chipset and you need the pciconf information to patch the sound driver. Everytime I have received a returned 6, I have had to program something or get some one else to do it. Your best bet there is the people that are maintaing pcm. Kent Kent, Thanks for your reply. I ran the pciconf -lv command I can see the following under multimedia?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x42011558 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator' class= multimedia subclass = audio But what does that mean ? Doens't it mean it can see it but can't probe it? I believe that the pcm0 is fighting for IRQ 10 which is used by: They can share. My line from pciconf is [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x030013f6 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00 It knows mine is pcm0 and we have a different card number.

Probably not unless you can program. You have to go through the kernel modules and find which sound module handles the SiS7012. That is where the maintainer comes in and I don't have any idea who that is right now. I have never looked at the sound stuff. It has been a sort of black magic that worked. I also have a -current machine that won't do the installworld and it has my attention right now :(. If you do a find from /usr/src. For the lack of a better idea, I just used sound. You will see something like # find . -name sound -print ./sys/compile/TOPAZ/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/sound ./sys/dev/sound ./sys/gnu/dev/sound ./sys/gnu/i386/isa/sound ./sys/i386/isa/sound ./sys/modules/sound Your problem is buried in there somewhere. I think you can ignore the ../gun and ../isa. TOPAZ is the name of my kernel and the kernel config moved the code that handled SiS7012 in there. TOPAZ/.../sound has 3 directories, driver, pcm, and snd. I assume that your 7012 handling code that doesn't recognize your module will probably show up in one of them. You can use http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ to track who did the last work on the module with the SiS7012 in it. They will be your best bet on getting sound. I don't what sound cards run where you live but I can buy really cheap pci ones that work for under $20 USD. They are usually as good as the integrated ones if not better. It all depends on the import duty and how long you can deal with a computer and no sound :).

netboot with serial?
Hi, this is probably doable but I'm stumped. I have a M6000 mini-itx box with a 20Gb drive and no cdrom, monitor or keyboard, and a NetBSD box running NFS. What I want to do is PXEboot the 6000 off the NetBSD box into FreeBSD (it has usb2 and firewire ports which are shaky at best under NetBSD). What I want really is to kick off a serial port install, and then install over NFS. I found http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/article.html which is 90% of what I need, but doesn't do the serial bit. The steps as I understand it would be: 6000 boots pxe, gets a path to pxeboot and a nfs root directory via dhcp, mounts the root, grabs a (install) kernel the install starts as normal. On NetBSD you just have an serial port aware pxeboot, how do you guys do it? -- If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.

I say new because prototypes like that have been standard for more than 10 years. On any compiler you encounter nowadays that declaration will be resolved to: int (*_close) (void *) meaning _close is a pointer to a function taking an arbitrary pointer as argument and returning an int.

problems with .bashrc
I'm new to FreeBSD, and to bash. I'm running FreeBSD 5.0, and added bash from the cd during install. There are .profile and .shrc files in my home directory; .profile references .shrc with ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV. There are several uncommented alias lines in the .shrc file, but none of them work. From what I've read, bash should read .profile and .shrc, but just in case, I tried copying them to .bash_profile and .bashrc, changing ENV to =$HOME/.bashrc, and renaming the original files, but the aliases still don't work. Aliases are formatted: alias ll='ls -laFo'; entering that at the prompt and it works fine. Seems like bash isn't reading the rc file. Obviously, I'm missing something; any suggestions appreciated.

port redirection with pf
Hiho! :-) I'm trying to get port rediretion with pf(4) to work, but i won't work. I've googled and looked at the FAQ at www.openbsd.org/faq/pf, but there's nothing there that helps me. Problem is, I create a pf.conf with rdr on tun0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 21 - 192.168.0.200 port 21 (this is one single line in the config file ) When I try to enable the ruleset via pfctl -e -f ./pf.conf, pfctl says pf.conf:2: syntax error pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded This does not only happen with my custom redirection rule, but also if I take example redirection rules from the pf.conf(5) man page. This is FreeBSD 5.2.1-p4 with pf 2.03 installed from ports, PFIL_HOOKS is in the kernel and the pf kernel modules are loaded. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm unable to find it :-/ Thanks in advance ;-) Bye Marc ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
updating ports and pkgdb
I am nearing the end of a tortuous path to upgrade my system so that the /usr/ports/ is in the correct format and the pkg db reflects the truth about what I have installed. Unfortunately, pkgdb -u does NOT rebuild from scratch, but simply refreshes itself from the directories in /var/pkg/db. Is there a way I could delete all those directories and make pkgdb go look and rebuild the db/directories from what it finds? Similarly, will cvsup ports-all delete directories which are now not used as well as (of course) update entries and create missing directories? Otherwise, how would I find and remove the now-unused directories?

jumping mouse in X
Hi freebsd-er, I recently upgraded my m/board and finally get x-window to work again but my mouse is all very jumpy, I seem to lose control over it and very hard to make it stay on one position. I have been trying to see what people have to say on the internet. Something I came across is that the driver for vedio card might affect it. My cedio chip is ProSavageDDR K4M266, I can't run x-win when using original FBSD driver, but after installing a 3-rd party driver, I was able to get it up, and everything looked the way I wanted it! But just this mouse, it went crazy. It's a 2-button ps/2 mouse, I tried auto or ps/2 protocol in X config, nothing changed, I tried to put some moused related stuff in /etc/rc.conf, then I get a nice working mouse in my console, but my x-win won't start up because the mouse device is busy.

Re: problems with .bashrc
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED],
wrote fudo thusly...
There are .profile and .shrc files in my home directory; .profile
references .shrc with ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV.
See below regarding $ENV.
There are several uncommented alias lines in the .shrc file, but
none of them work. From what I've read, bash should read .profile
and .shrc, but just
There is no mention of '.shrc' in bash(1) (2.05b.007 version here).
in case, I tried copying them to .bash_profile and .bashrc, changing
ENV to =$HOME/.bashrc, and renaming the original files, but the
aliases still don't work.
Aliases /should/ work, w/o futzing w/ $ENV, as expected if listed in
.bashrc, all other things being sane.
Aliases are formatted: alias ll='ls -laFo'; entering that at the
prompt and it works fine. Seems like bash isn't reading the rc file.
So you tried putting debugging statements in the four files so far
mentioned, and got the output from them but aliasing consistently
failed?
Obviously, I'm missing something; any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
You have at least three options
2. Invoke bash as sh or w/ --posix option (from bash(1)) ...
When invoked as an interactive shell with the name sh, bash looks
for the variable ENV, expands its value if it is defined, and
uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute.
Since a shell invoked as sh does not attempt to read and execute
commands from any other startup files, the --rcfile option has no
effect. A non-interactive shell invoked with the name sh does
not attempt to read any other startup files. When invoked as
sh, bash enters posix mode after the startup files are read.
When bash is started in posix mode, as with the --posix command
line option, it follows the POSIX standard for startup files. In
this mode, interactive shells expand the ENV variable and commands
are read and executed from the file whose name is the
expanded value. No other startup files are read.
1. Source the damn .shrc file w/in .profile
0. Create .bash{_profile,rc} properly. Read bash(1); search the
Internet, comp.unix.{shell,misc,questions} newsgroups in
particular, for examples, solutions/hints.
In my ~/.bashrc, file w/ alias listing is (eventually) sourced. if
interested in my settings (skip to Modern Bourne Shell and
Compatibles) ...

Thanks. I think what is happening is the aliases in .shrc are not read directly by bash unless invoked as sh, and the .shrc assigned to ENV is only read for non-login shells; I'm not sure why they wouldn't work when entered in .bash_profile, but the fact that they don't suggests a conflict between the files the commands are entered in and the order in which they are read. When invoked as bash (not sh) the start-up files that bash reads for a login shell are, in order: i) /etc/profile and then the first of any of the following that exists: ii) ~/.bash_profile OR iii) ~/.bash_login OR iv) ~/.profile Non-login interactive bash shells (when changing or starting new shells during a session) read only ~/.bashrc. Non-login non-interactive bash shells (ie-when launched from inside a script) check the startup file in $BASH_ENV, or $ENV if that doesn't exist. An easy way to make sure all three invocations of bash reference the same start-up file is: i) use .bashrc as your customized startup file ii) create a .bash_profile containing only: export BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc; fi This way, after reading /etc/profile a login shell will read the first file found, ~/.bash_profile, which in turn reads ~/.bashrc Non-login interactive shells will read ~/.bashrc as usual Non-login non-interactive shells will read the ~/.bashrc assigned in $BASH_ENV.

My question : Up to which version of FreeBSD is the 4.4BSD-Lite code used ? 4.4BSD-lite was the BSD source code after it was sanitized as a result of the ATT lawsuit. It was incorporated into FreeBSD 2.0 if history memory serves me right. Has it changed much Yes tons. Very little of the original BSD lite code remains in current versions from what I have read. and if so is the source code for older version of FreeBSD and/or the code for 4.4BSD-Lite still available for download somewhere ? Many FreeBSD mirrors still carry code to FreeBSD 2.0, but that is not what you want if you just want 4.4BSD-lite. I think the BSD-lite code is still available as a tarball to download from various places. 40MB or so if I recall. I couldn't find it from a very quick search, but I'm sure you could find it. It may even be on ftp.FreeBSD.org if you know where to look. hth Tim ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
