Perl (5.6 or 5.8) fails to install
Hi, I'm having an issue installing Perl from ports (both 5.6 and 5.8 - same issue). It seems like something is passing unknown flags to the "Configure" script used to configure the perl build: ===> Configuring for perl-5.6.1_15 Configure: unknown option --localstatedir=/usr/local/share/gnome Configure: unknown option --datadir=/usr/local/share/gnome Configure: unknown option --with-html-dir=/usr/local/share/doc Configure: unknown option --disable-gtk-doc Configure: unknown option --with-gconf-source=xml::/usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults Usage: Configure [-dehrsEKOSV] [-f config.sh] [-D symbol] [-D symbol=value] ** -- snip Configure usage -- ** ===> Script "Configure" failed unexpectedly. This is on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4, freshly cvsup'd I encountered this while trying to figure out why `portsdb -Uu` was failing to update the index, which is another issue, I think. Upon trying to update the index, it would coredump towards the very end. I then ran `pkgdb -fu`, and then got a generic "failed to generate INDEX!" error, and tty1 shows a bunch of "out of swap" messages. Any ideas on either/both of these issues (Perl's build failure and my inability to generate an updated INDEX?) Thanks in advance. = -- Joshua Beard [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi, I use an ssh-tunnel from a PC on a local network behind a gateway to another PC on the internet. Say the PC behind the gateway is LOCAL and the other internet PC is REMOTE. On LOCAL I do as a regular user: $ ssh -2 -N -f -R 2201:127.0.0.1:22 REMOTE Then on REMOTE I can then do: $ ssh -p 2201 127.0.0.1 All this works fine for login from REMOTE to LOCAL, bypassing the gateway. -- I then want the following to work. On REMOTE I do, as root: # ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2 # ifconfig lo0 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 0xff00 To double check, I verified that I can login to myself on REMOTE: $ ssh REMOTE On REMOTE I then want to login to LOCAL, as regular user: $ ssh -p 2201 127.0.0.2 ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.2 port 2201: Connection refused Can somebody explain to me why the ssh-tunnel does not work this way?

Welcome to the club. Of course FreeBSD supports C, that's he language it was written in. As for clustering, I believe that just about any unix variant is capable of it in some form or another. Graphics functions are available, but it depends on what type you are looking for. In this case, the ports collection is your friend. once you have FreeBSD installed, I recommend that you type man intro man ports man hier and also read the handbook less /usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt I suggest you spend some time reading the handbook before asking too many questions on the mailing lists, as you will find the majority of the answers in there.

Being born and raised on MS-DOS, I'm accustomed to the "copy bac* > bac*.old" syntax. It has to do with shell globbing. The bac* parameter is expanded to a list of all files matching that pattern, then fed to the command. So if you type 'cp bac* bac*.old' in a Unix shell and your directory has files bac1, bac2, bac3, and bac4, what it actually tries to execute is: cp bac1 bac2 bac3 bac4 Note that bac*.old didn't evaluate to anything: there aren't any files or directories that match that pattern. So cp gives an error-- it'll copy multiple files to a directory, but only if the last parameter is a directory. There are numerous recipes for doing the batch move-and-rename. The O'Reilly Unix Power Tools book (highly recommended) has a script that pipes the output of ls into sed, generating a bunch of individual mv commands.

No, you don't need OpenSSH for Gnome or XFree. The above addition to /etc/hosts should suffice. Just as an aside: Gnome 1.4 is no longer part of the ports collection, and thus it's not officially supported (the current Gnome version in the ports collection is 2.6.1).

Re: remote monitoring system variables?
I was afraid of that. I'll look more closely into the SNMP MIBS to see how much of what I need is available. The Issue I have with scripting SNMP is that the OID numbers for custom scrips seem to be dependant on how many scripts you are running. I'll verify that, but it looks like I may be writing some code to handle encrypted (or at least obfuscated) transmission of sysctl and ipfw data over an authenticated network connection.

Howto set sysinstall to use CURRENT packages
Hi: How do I set sysinstall to use current packages? In the config menu I changed 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.2.1-CURRENT and several other values but would not recognize. Complains no such distribution is available on ftp.freebsd.org. also, where is the config file for sysinstall? Where can I set its package repository, etc?

reporting port scaning abuse based on whois
My ipfilter firewall is blocking 35 to 150 port scan packets per minute coming from all over the world. I have an dynamic IP address assigned by my ISP, so I know the senders are scanning an whole subnet range of IP address for the ports they are interested in. I have to pay for this background packet noise in bandwidth usage surcharges. I decided to research and try to build an process to report this abuse to the ISP's who own the source IP address that is scanning the whole subnet ranges of IP address I belong to. I pieced together an perl script from many other sources that reads the ipfilter ipmon log creating an structured file with the source and target ip address padded with zeros to sort the source ip address into sequence, then I read the sorted file and do an whois lookup on the source ip address and scan the whois output for an abuse@ domain name building an email including the log records as evidence and send it. This process only found abuse@ email address for about 30% of the abusive port scan traffic being blocked. Manually doing whois on some of the remainder, I see many different reporting abuse email address. I guess abuse@ is not an standard naming convention. An I going about this the correct way, or is there some other way I should be doing this? Is whois ip addr the only way to find the owner of the ip address block? Do any of the readers of this list have an perl script that does something like what I an trying to do, that they would share, or exchange in return for receiving an copy of mine? I am thinking about changing the way I search the whois output for abuse@, to scanning the output one position at an time for @ then parse left and right of it to first blank to capture email address, then save it in table and continue with scan looking for another email address. Then interrogate the harvested email address in the table for abuse, spam, tech or webmaster to choose best email address to send my reporting abuse email to. The problem is my perl coding ability is not sufficient to accomplish this. An sample scan routine sure would go a long way in enabling me to understand the coding technique so I could modify it to my purposes. Any comments or coding help sure would be helpful.

I have also tried using `moused` and "/dev/sysmouse", in each case, everything works fine, except the mouse only has 3 buttons and no scroll. (I've tried the -z flag to moused as well) This mouse is a replacement for another wheel mouse (different brand) which worked fine. Even when I didn't have "ZAxisMapping" set up, the wheel showed up as a button in `xev`.

For copying you would use the 'mcp' variant: mcp -v 'bacula*' 'bacula=1.old' It automatically preserves permissions and modification time. For a test run in order to verify in advance what would happen, use the '-n' option. Great tool IMHO.

Love MPD, but a few questions
Hi all, I've been using mpd as a pptp/vpn server for a few projects and I really like it with very few reservations. Thanks for a great port. I'm using FreeBSD 4.x and 5.2.1 and mpd-3.15_1 When I was first trying to set it up, I screwed around with the configs, until I could get it to work and I now realize that I've likely left in some rather major fudges. Everything works really well. I've set up scripts to manage users and rebuild the conf and links files and restart mpd for dynamic ip setups I'm from the school of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' Nonetheless, I still feel that I'm not quite doing it right The mpd.conf, in particular is what I'm talking about Below are some config samples Any suggestions would be appreciated Richard Sauvé - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ### CONFS, ETC BELOW 3 Here is an example setup 172.19.45.1 is aliased to lo0 to keep samba and others happy at boot, as I've found it better to delay mpd starting at boot time ## mpd.conf - reduced default: load pptp0 load pptp1 load pptp2 pptp0: new -i ng0 pptp0 pptp0 set ipcp ranges 172.19.45.2/24 172.19.45.100/24 load pptp_standard pptp1: new -i ng1 pptp1 pptp1 set ipcp ranges 172.19.45.2/24 172.19.45.100/24 load pptp_standard pptp2: new -i ng2 pptp2 pptp2 set ipcp ranges 172.19.45.2/24 172.19.45.100/24 load pptp_standard pptp_standard: set iface disable on-demand set iface enable proxy-arp set bundle enable multilink set link yes acfcomp protocomp set link no pap chap set link enable chap set link keep-alive 10 60 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp dns 172.19.45.2 set ipcp nbns 172.19.45.2 set bundle enable compression set ccp yes mppc set ccp yes mpp-e40 set ccp yes mpp-e128 set ccp yes mpp-stateless set bundle yes crypt-reqd ### ## mpd.links - 000.000.000.000 replaces the WAN ip pptp0: set link type pptp set pptp self 000.000.000.000 set pptp enable incoming set pptp disable originate pptp1: set link type pptp set pptp self 000.000.000.000 set pptp enable incoming set pptp disable originate pptp2: set link type pptp set pptp self 000.000.000.000 set pptp enable incoming set pptp disable originate ##3 ## mpd.secret user1 "ghi123"172.19.45.101 user2"def123" 172.19.45.103 user3"abc123" 172.19.45.104 thanks for any pointers in advance, Richard Sauvé - [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: I've seen references to authenticating mpd with radius, or other ways, but no how-to's.

Realtek 8180
Hi! I have been using FreeBSD for quite some time on two different computers. One of them, a laptop, I could plug into our Router directly. After selling it and buying a desktop I am reliant on dual-booting Windows and FreeBSD 5.2.1 because my Realtek 8180-based WLAN-NIC (pci) is not supported by FreeBSD. I wanted to ask if a driver for this NIC is in the works and, if not, what would be an alternative Wirelless NIC compatible with FreeBSD.

IMPS/2 for mouse-wheel not supported
Hi, I have a brand new Microsoft optical wheel mouse with a 'tilt wheel'. It works as a 3-button mouse under X with: Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device""/dev/psm0" but the wheel doesn't work (i.e. doesn't even show up in `xev`) The X documentation: [ http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse6.html ] seems to suggest that I use either IMPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2, but both of these fail with "Protocol not supported". Does FreeBSD support "PS/2 mouse initialization" (which the above link says is required for these protocols)? Is there a kernel module I need to enable this? Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think it's a heat problem since there are no problems compiling large ports which means _many_ hours of 100% cpu load on my a bit elderly system.

Funnily enough I wrote a message to this very list on that subject not 3 days ago: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-May/046744.html Just substitute 'net/openldap20' for 'net/openldap21' in what I wrote. > Another thing is, should I worry about duplicate index warnings? No -- there's about 4 that always come up when I do a 'make index'. It happens because there are several 'slave' ports which are being confused with the master port by your setting variables in /etc/make.conf or even by autodetecting certain shared libraries you have installed. It's mostly harmless.

cvsup ports questions
I've been attempting to follow Dru Lavigne's excellent advice and clean up my ports, but no matter how careful I am, I seem to get into circles sometimes. Recently I found that package openldap-client-2.0.27_1 was causing problems. The port 'net/openldap20-client' was removed on 2004-05-03 because: "removed EOL version of OpenLDAP" Attempted removal was blocked by gnome2-2.4.0 gnomemeeting-0.98.5 Eventually I removed first gnome2-2.4.0, then gnomemeeting-0.98.5 after which openldap could be removed (even though /usr/ports/net/openldap20 was long gone). Now, however, I have to put these back by hand. This isn't too hard here, but what happens if the chain is longer. Is there an easier root with portupgrade?

Most of that can by obtained via snmp -- the net-mgmt/net-snmp port would be a good place to start. You can get the system load and memory usage and the number of bytes transmitted via each interface straight out of SNMP, but for things like sysctl(8) output or IPFW counters, youl'd have to get the SNMP daemon to run an external script and return the results. You can probably figure out how to do that by reading the documentation supplied with net-snmp and by playing with the configuration file generator snmpconf(1). Once you've got SNMP capability available on your server, virtually all network monitoring software, including a bunch of large-scale commercial monitoring programs, will be able to process and display the results. If your budget doesn't run that far, then there's plenty of applications in ports that will do a similar job. Particularly recommended is net-mgmt/mrtg in combination with net/rrdtool -- very good for graphing the state of such things over time.

That's the right thing to do in the first instance, but getting an "all clear" from memtest86 doesn't guarantee you are 100% clear of problems. (In technical terms, memtest86 doesn't produce false positives (saying there's an error when there isn't one) but it does have a low rate of false negatives (saying there's no error when there is one)) However, I'd start to look at other aspects of the system now -- the first thing to eliminate would be hard drive problems. Can you reboot the system into single user mode, and run fsck(8) on all the partitions? That's # fsck -f (Nb. only the root fs should be mounted, and that should be mounted read-only while you're doing that. Not coincidentally, that's the state booting into single user mode provides). If there are any errors reported by fsck(8), and especially if repeated fsck'ing doesn't clear them then your hard drive is probably about to give up the ghost. Other causes of the problem could be overheating -- not necessarily of the main CPU (as that just results in the screen going black, and whole system rebooting itself after a while) but of some of the bridge chipsets on the motherboard. Sometimes those chips will have a fan assisted heatsink but that's not very common. If they do, verify that the fan is working properly, and in any case, verify that the main case and power supply fans are working correctly, vents are not obstructed (either by stuff around your machine, or by dust on the inside) and that internal ribbon cables and so forth aren't preventing the free movement of air around the inside of the case. Even if you can't nail down exactly what the problem is, you might want to consider doing a cvsup + {build,install}{world,kernel} cycle. It will either make any deficiencies in your hardware glaringly obvious, or could very well make your trouble go away.

The printer is a laserjet and works great on > the FBSD. I've managed to "solve" my problems, though I'm not exactly sure on how, and it's not perfect yet; ie. it's slow on connecting. But my solution included a mixture of medling with my firewall-settings both on the server and windows client. And creating a "new" printer in /etc/printcap, that just passes the data to the printer (no filters). And perhaps some adjusted samba-setting. In my firewall (serverside) I opened up to all trafic on port 137-139 and 445 (I didn't know about port 445 previously). ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any 445 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any 445 ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from ${net}:${mask} to me 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from ${net}:${mask} to me 445 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${net}:${mask} to me 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${net}:${mask} to me 445 ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from me to ${net}:${mask} 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from me to ${net}:${mask} 137-139 ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from me to ${net}:${mask} 445 ${fwcmd} add allow udp from me to ${net}:${mask} 445 The thing that nacks me about my firewall settings is, that it's possible more open than nessecary. Any help on what trafic-type that can be closed would be great. On my windows-client I had port 445 closed, though I'm not sure I need to open it? My printcap-entry for samba looks like this: samba|HP LaserJet 1200 via samba:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/samba:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :mx#0:\ These are the relevant smb.conf entries: [global] netbios name = FBSD server string = "Samba Server" security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes wins support = Yes printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = Yes print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s [printers] comment = All printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = Yes use client driver = Yes To set up a printer from the w2k-client, I used the printer-wizard and chose a networkprinter and then searched the network for the printer (hence the 'browseable = Yes'). Thanks for the pointers in the right direction.
