KDE

2004-07-14 Thread Teilhard Knight
Hello:

I just installed FreeBSD 4.10, and everything went all right. I typed:
startx, and I could enter KDE and do some tweakings. Then I shut down and
rebooted, and something happened I cannot enter KDE, nor as a root or as a
user anymore. I get the message:

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

Does it mean I'll have to re-install? After install I just had to re-enter
my root password and sign me up as a user again, because the install didn't
keep those settings. That's why I shut down and rebooted, to test if
everything was all righ then.

All help will be appreciated.

Teilhard.

Is it possible to set-up a USB Printer in Freebsd?

2004-07-14 Thread Mark Jayson Alvarez
Hi,

  I have an old model Epson C20UX USB Printer and I
usually print in my Windows OS(dual boot) using that
printer. For long, I did not bother to read the
section in the handbook(setting up printer) because as
I have said earlier.. I print my MSWord document in
Windows.. But now that I have deleted my Windows
partition and I'm only running FreeBSD alone, I did a
quick skimming in the Setting Up Printer section of
the handbook and I have found out that, like the modem
installation, freebsd only supports printer connected
to serial or parallel ports..
  Now I have a big problem.. I can only think of two
things, either repartition my entire pc, and of
course.. the worst.. buy a new parallel/serial
printer..


Any idea what should I do???


Thanks,
-jay =(

Can you exlpain exactly what submit mode is for?  Is it something

Thanks.

Sendmail's submit mode is described in detail in the ``Sendmail
Installation and Operation Guide''.  It would be vain and probably
worthless to try to duplicate all the information present in there in a
mail message.  For details of the what, how, why, when and anything else
related to the submit mode you should refer to this guide[1], the
FreeBSD Handbook, and Sendmail's own web site[2].

Perhaps a small description of submit mode would be enough to help you
understand what it is.  Quoting section 1.3.3 of the guide referenced above:

1.3.3.  /etc/mail/submit.cf

This is  the configuration file for sendmail  when it is
used for  initial mail submission,  in which case  it is
also  called   ``Mail  Submission  Program''   (MSP)  in
contrast  to ``Mail  Transfer  Agent'' (MTA).   Starting
with version  8.12, sendmail  uses one of  two different
configuration files based on  its operation mode (or the
new -A  option).  For initial mail  submission, i.e., if
one  of  the  options  -bm  (default),  -bs,  or  -t  is
specified, submit.cf  is used (if  available), for other
operations sendmail.cf is used.  Details can be found in
sendmail/SECURITY.   submit.cf is shipped  with sendmail
(in cf/cf/) and is  installed by default.  If changes to
the   configuration  need   to  be   made,   start  with
cf/cf/submit.mc and follow the instruction in cf/README.

Mozilla 1.7 more unstable than 1.6?

2004-07-14 Thread Rob Lahaye
Hi,
I have just upgraded my mozilla install from ports collection to version 1.7.
Since then, mozilla seems to crash frequently (once a day or so) when
webbrowsing. When I then revisit the same page it crashed on, there is no
problem. This makes the error rather unreproducible.
(Much less frequent I had hangs with Mozilla 1.6, but that seemed to
be related to difficult webpage designs, which hanged Mozilla each
time I visited the site; with hang I mean, mozilla windows are still
there, but no reponse to key or mouse input anymore).
Apparently there's some bugs in 1.7 that accumulate and then crash
the application; crash means here that all mozilla windows simply
disappear, instantly gone.
Anybody else experiences this?
I wonder if it's a mozilla bug or a more freebsd related issue.
These are my installed ports (related to Mozilla):
 mozilla-1.7,2
 jdk-1.4.2p6_4
 linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.05
 linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_1

you weren't kidding when you said skimming.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html

USB interfaces, named for the Universal Serial Bus, can run at even faster
speeds than parallel or RS232 serial interfaces. Cables are simple and
cheap. USB is superior to RS232 Serial and to Parallel for printing, but it
is not as well supported under UNIX® systems. A way to avoid this problem
is to purchase a printer that has both a USB interface and a Parallel
interface, as many printers do.

note that the degree of support available will more likely have to do with
the quality and popularity of your printer than with your usb port.  though
cheap ink jet win-printers are popular, they tend not to be nearly as well
supported as many of the somewhat more expensive laser printers.   (i don't
know which your model is.)

 Now I have a big problem.. I can only think of two
 things, either repartition my entire pc, and of
 course.. the worst.. buy a new parallel/serial

if you insist.  though, i'd suggest a 3rd alternative - paying the

Re: Apache modauthldap works but REMOTE_USER not there

 I want to use modauthldap with Apache 1.3.29 to restrict access to some

 LDAP authentication seems to work fine with following .htaccess file:

 The problem is: CGI scripts called by the HTML pages in the protected

 they don't know about the current user.

 Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Just for the archives - found the solution by myself: I forgot to include

AllowOverride AuthConfig

in the cgi-bin section of httpd.conf and and to copy .htaccess to the

mmap()ed filenames?

2004-07-14 Thread Tyler Durdan
Is there a way to get the filename of an mmap()ed file
in the current process? For example, in Linux I can
open /proc/self/maps and get the filenames right
there. However, if I try to open /proc/getpid()/map on
FBSD, the only mapping info is vnode or default on
FBSD 4.10-BETA.  
  
 
Is there any way to convert this info into the
filenames of mapped files?   
  
 
Or perhaps an alternate method to accomplish this
goal?

Eric, the first three paragraphs of section 1 of RFC 2476 explain this.

In a nutshell: an MTA is not supposed to munge email (apart from
adding Received: headers and the like); however, many local clients
submit via SMTP and the mail server needs to do lots more work:
rewriting email addresses, and so on. The split of sendmail's operation
into MTA (Transmission) and MSA (Submission) is to support this.

Re: Freebsd 5.1 - Win XP Networking problems

 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24 are blocks of addresses in CIDR notation,
 not the actual addresses to be fed to ifconfig.  You need to pick addresses
 within the netblock to use for myserver and all the other machines on your
 network.  Since myserver can reach the internet just fine, you should keep
 the IP address for vr0 the same, just lengthen the netmask to allow the use
 of 192.168.1.0/24 on the LAN.

ifconfig(8) understands CIDR notation just fine, although it's not
usual to configure an interface using the '.0' /network/ address.  Look
on it as a third alternate way of specifying the netmask, so that the
following three examples are equivalent:

ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74/29
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 0xfff8
ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 255.255.255.248

Those correspond to the slightly contrived example of the /29 network
starting with network address 192.168.123.72 and running up to the
broadcast address 192.168.123.79

Note: you can give a broadcast address on the ifconfig command line,
but usually it's not necessary as a standard value will be calculated
from any ip number forming part of that network and from the netmask.
However you can't in general use ip address + broadcast to do the
converse, as there isn't necessarily a unique solution.

FreeBSD with the new Intel chipsets, 9xx ?

2004-07-14 Thread Stein M. Sandbech
Hi,
Just a hands up re. use/testing of motherboards based on
the new Intel 915 and 925 chipsets.
Are there anybody using or testing mb's based on these now?
Im looking into getting an Intel mb for testing later this
summer, like fi:
Desktop Board D925XCV
or the
Desktop Board D915GEV.
There are several issues regarding drivers I imagine, like:
* Intel® High Definition Audio subsystem using the Realtek
  ALC860 audio codec.
* PCI Express
* Intel®Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Marvel
  Yukon 88E8050 PCI Express Gigabit
* GMA900 onboard graphics subsystem.
* Graphics on the PCI Express x16 bus.
Any info regarding testing and problems on these chipsets or
mb would  be appreciated. Speculations and opinions also :-)

5.2-RELEASE had some killer bugs.  I'd upgrade to 5.2.1-RELEASE if I

 Btw, I've built a generic 4.8 machine and the client

Seeing that you can establish the connection in the first place means
that your configuration is probably correct.  I'd look elsewhere than
MySQL to try and work out what the problem is.

Two possibilities spring to mind:

1) Faulty NIC or network cabling: if you're getting a lot of
   dropped packets it could cause the symptoms shown.  Try
   ping(8)'ing the MySQL server from the box in question and see
   if you get any packet drops. Play with the '-s' (packet size)
   option to ping -- sometimes only larger packets may trigger
   problems.  Also look at the output of 'netstat -i' -- any
   significant numbers in the Ierrs or Oerrs columns are a bad
   sign.  Do make sure all of the network cables are correctly
   plugged into their sockets -- the only thing worse than
   discovering that is the problem is discovering it after you've
   spent a week trying all sorts of esoteric means to fix it...

2) A firewall somewhere between server and client is being far too
   eager to drop an established TCP connection.  Server and client
   should send occasional 'keepalive' packets over an idle
   connection which will help prevent that.  I'm not so much in
   favour of this explanation, as it looks as if the disconnect
   occurs immediately after you log in, and it would take a pretty
   pessimally designed firewall to do something like that.

The other question is why are you running an alpha version of MySQL
on your server?  MySQL's 4.1.x series is up to 4.1.3-beta nowadays,
as are the databases/mysql41-* ports.

Matthew

That's a generally hard problem -- given some sort of open file, find
the file name it was opened as.  Most unixoid OSes don't record
filenames used on open(2) to go with file descriptors or areas of
mmapped data because it's a waste of space.  And there's no reliable
way to work backwards from the open file to a file name.

The problem is the filename comes out of the directory structure: it's
not kept with the file contents.  And any particular file my have
links from any number of directories under as many different names
(none of which is /the/ name of the file: hard links are all equal
precedence).  It can even have *no* filename at all -- if you (for
example) open the file in one process, and then delete it from
another, the first process will be able to read and write to the file
completely normally, although closing and then re-opening the file
will be impossible.  Similarly for renaming an already open file.

You might think of extracting the inode number (easily done using
fstat(2)) and searching the whole partition for file paths matching
that inode number.  That is, if you like horribly inefficient code
vulnerable to all sorts of race conditions and other nastyness.

The best answer is to redesign your application so that if it needs to
know filenames, it saves the filenames it originally used to open
those files with.

SanDisk CF-Caddie-reader(/dev/ad3)

2004-07-14 Thread Richard P. Williamson
Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out why my FreeBSD 4.10 system
reboots whenever I reinsert a pccard.  The pccard is
actually a 32Mb SanDisk CF card, in a CF card caddie,
plugged into a PCMCIA caddie, attached to the ATA bus.

If I boot with the card in, I get 
ad3: 30MB SanDisk SDCFB-32 [490/4/32] at ata1-slave PIO1
(or it did once I pccard_enable=YES'd in rc.conf)

I can mount/manipulate/umount it without problems.
I can eject it without problems.  
If I reinsert it, the system reboots.

What have I missed?  Is there anyone using this combination?
There doesn't seem to be a pccardd running (ps -aU root
doesn't show one).  Should there be?

I would then access the same web page on my NT box and have no such

To tweak modelines, did you try xvidtune? It is handy to do that, and
can apply your changes as you make them; when you are satisfied with
the results, just copy the modeline it gives you and paste in your

ping(8)'ing the MySQL server from the box in

if you get any packet drops. Play with the

 'netstat -i' -- any
significant numbers in the Ierrs or Oerrs

sign.  Do make sure all of the network cables
 are correctly
plugged into their sockets -- the only thing
 worse than
discovering that is the problem is
 discovering it after you've
spent a week trying all sorts of esoteric
 means to fix it...
 
 2) A firewall somewhere between server and
 client is being far too
eager to drop an established TCP connection. 
 Server and client
should send occasional 'keepalive' packets
 over an idle
connection which will help prevent that.  I'm
 not so much in
favour of this explanation, as it looks as if
 the disconnect
occurs immediately after you log in, and it
 would take a pretty
pessimally designed firewall to do something
 like that.
 
 The other question is why are you running an alpha
 version of MySQL
 on your server?  MySQL's 4.1.x series is up to
 4.1.3-beta nowadays,
 as are the databases/mysql41-* ports.

Need a network file system with Windows client and freeBSD server

2004-07-14 Thread Artem Koutchine
Hi!

I need sime kind of network file system which has a FreeBSD server and
Windows clients (particulary Windows XP) and that FreeBSD file share
must be mounted on Windows XP under a drive letter. Windows client
is FAR FAR away and is behind nat. Traffic costs a lot, so that file system
must not waste it for nothing. Of course, security is very important and
security based on IP address is impossible, because client is behind nat.

I have checked the following:

1) Samba3

I think i could use it with user security (not share or maybe mixed) but
i am not sure about making it open to internet and also i think it wastes
bandwidth. Am i wrong?

2) Coda FS

Nice thing, but i could not figure out how to manage user passwords
and there is no working windows xp client. I tried it - not luck for me.

3) AFS

No idea is AFS Windows client exists and no FreeBSD server.

4) NFS

Well, i like it very much because we use for freebsd file shareing since
year 2000. Hoever, i could not find free NFS client for Windows (but, hell,
i'll buy it) but what's worse i get figure out how to make authorizartion based on
user/password and not on /etc/exports. I need something more secure. Also,
am not sure about bandwidth usage.

Any help will be very appriciated.

 That's a generally hard problem -- given some sort of open file, find
 the file name it was opened as.  Most unixoid OSes don't record
 filenames used on open(2) to go with file descriptors or areas of
 mmapped data because it's a waste of space.  And there's no reliable
 way to work backwards from the open file to a file name.

You can use the lsof command in ports, which will dig through the
kernel's file name cache and print at least some names.  FreeBSD 5.x's
/proc/*/map does the same thing for you.  If you use lsof, for any
files missing filenames, you can try and find the name by running find
/ -inum , where  is the number in the NODE column.

It's slightly better than SMB, but still has both problems.  If you run it

I highly recommend setting up sshd on FreeBSD and using WinSCP to move

and WinSCP is almost as easy to use as Windows explorer.

If the patch is small, you can probably include it in the email, but if

If you're talking about the -p flag to ipfw, that's just for parsing
config files (like what cpp does with #include and #define for C).

Take a look at divert sockets for a way to capture packets from ipfw
into a program, and then reinject (or drop) them.  See the divert and
ipfw manpages.  natd uses divert sockets, so you can look at its source
to see how they work.

Microsoft has a nice NFS client/server implementation in its free

you use VPNs, you should be able to control the local IP number that
gets assigned to each VPN user, so you could use that to filter access
in /etc/exports (and use the -mapall flag to force specific userids for
each incoming IP).

100Mbit/s LAN slow, TX only ~3MB/s (esp. file transfer) -- why?

2004-07-14 Thread Andreas Ntaflos
Hello list, 

here's the situation: a small LAN with two FreeBSD machines (one
4.10-STABLE, one 5.1-RELEASE-p11), one Gentoo box, one Windows 2000
Laptop. All the machines have 100Mbit/s capable network interfaces,
configured for full duplex and auto-negotiation, and actually running 
in 100baseTX-FD mode (5.1 uses rl0, 4.10 dc0, Gentoo and Windows are
also equipped with RealTek RTL8139 NICs).

They are all connected through CAT5 UTP cables and a 5 port 100Mbit/s
switch. All machines except the FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE box are quite
capable (800MHz--1GHz, 128MB--640MB RAM, (U)DMA mode harddisks, etc).
The 5.1 box is an old 200MHz Pentium-MMX, 64MB RAM, slow disks.

Here's the problem: Using FTP to transfer a 600MB file (ISO image) from
one FreeBSD machine to the other runs only as fast as 3MB/s (maximum).
Transferring the same file from the Gentoo box to one of the FreeBSD
machines runs equally slow. Transferring the file from the Gentoo box to
the Windows 2000 laptop however runs fine with about 10MB/s.
Transferring from FreeBSD to Windows 2000 is slow again (2--5MB/s).

Using SCP gives me a maximum of 1MB/s tranfer rate, on all possible
connections and client pairs. I suppose this could be SCPs fault since 
it needs a fast CPU to encrypt and decrypt the data, but 800MHz and 1GHz
ought to be enough so that this shouldn't be a bottleneck, hm?

I've also tried connecting the machines directly via a crossover cable, 
to no avail. 4.10 -- 5.1 is still 3MB/s, Gentoo -- Windows 2000 runs
even faster, and Gentoo -- FreeBSD is also about 2MB/s.

I remember that about a year ago with the same setup (except for the 5.1
box, which I didn't have back then) FTP speed was most excellent,
transferring a 1GB file took about 3 minutes. Now it seems to take
forever to copy just 50MB.

So why could this be? I am mostly interested in the two FreeBSD
machines, why would that be such a slow connection? Because the 5.1 box
is quite old? Could the RealTek card have a problem? The switch is
almost certainly not faulty. Also why would a transfer between the 4.10
box and the Gentoo machine take so long? As I mentioned, a year ago I
was enjoying TX rates of almost 11MB/s between the two of them.

I believe at least part of the problem lies with the FreeBSD machines,
so I am asking for ideas on what this issue could be, how to
investigate further to track down the possible sources of the problem
and how to solve it. 

Sorry for this lengthy post, I tried to give as much information as
possible and make clear that I have already invested a good amount of
time and effort to debug and solve this myself, but I am running out 
of ideas. I also posted on two other boards but nobody could suggest 
anything actually useful.

I refuse to believe that this is the expected mode of operation for FTP
(and even SCP) :-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, i understand that. However, i wonder how to make a VPN
with compression and also the scheme is like this:

file server with real ip  - natd - cleints

So, clients do no have real IP addresses and stay behind
nat server which serves many people who are not the clients
of the file server. Is it possible to setup VPN in such situation?

 WinSCP does not suit my needs, because people on windows client must
 be able to work on files (mostly html) using different software and it is
 not just
 about moving then around, but rather editing with special editors and after
 editing they must see the result right away on the web server.

In my experience, no, there is no solution to your problem.  The resason is
this:

1) You expect people to be able to work on mapped drives (i.e. z:)
2) You are trying to hold down the bandwidth usage

These two goals are contradictary.  You'll have to give up one or the other
(unless there's some filesystem technology out there that I'm not familiar
with)

No matter how efficient the file-sharing protocol is, the fact that you've
got the filesystem mounted as a network drive will push tons of extra
data through the pipe.  Windows is not used to high-latency links for file-
sharing, thus the performance will be noticably bad.  In my experienc,
Windows users don't understand the idea of latency either, thus they will
click on something three times when they should just wait for it to finish
loading, thus generating more bandwidth.  Also, directory listings, polling
for changes to directories and all sorts of other things that Windows does
with drives will push tons of network traffic across the link, thus driving
up your costs.

This has been my experience.  Perhaps your users are smarter and more
disciplined than the people I was working with, but mounting a network
drive under windows carries a lot of traffic with it as baggage.  I've
never measured exactly how much, but it's more than most people realize.
For example, I've found that a 1.5mb/sec T1 line isn't really fast enough
for a single SMB mounted drive.

If I were you, I'd set up some sort of tunnel and run a pilot test with
1 user.  I don't expect you'll be happy with the results, but it is possible
that I didn't set things up as well as could be the last time I did this.
Just be aware of the network traffic, as it ended up being a lot more than
I expected.

You'll probably have better results setting up some sort of terminal serer
(either VNC or MS terminal server) and allowing users to work on the remote
files that way.  Terminal servers still use a lot of bandwidth, but they're
designed for slow links, so it's not quite as bad (this may or may not be
the same in your scenerio, as working with HTML files might not generate
as much traffic as the MS Access files we were working with).

Re: Need a network file system with Windows client and freeBSD server

2004-07-14 Thread Dan Nelson
In the last episode (Jul 14), Artem Kuchin said:
   I need sime kind of network file system which has a FreeBSD
   server and Windows clients (particulary Windows XP) and that
   FreeBSD file share must be mounted on Windows XP under a drive

  For any of the solutions you describe, you will definitely want to
  set up a VPN between the client and server, and if possible have it
  compress the data.  Never allow raw filesystem access to the entire
  Internet :)
 
 Yes, i understand that. However, i wonder how to make a VPN with
 compression and also the scheme is like this:
 
 file server with real ip  - natd - cleints
 
 So, clients do no have real IP addresses and stay behind nat server
 which serves many people who are not the clients of the file server.
 Is it possible to setup VPN in such situation?

Yes, as long as the natd is set to allow the VPN packets to pass
through.  The exact packet type depends on the VPN; a tcpdump of some
part of the network between client and natd will show that (Ethereal
installed directly on the client PC should also work).

I setup a secure web server (port 443?), blocked port 80, implemented 
user-password authorization in Apache2 and activated webdav on the 
shared folders.

Authorized Windows users mount web folders, which appear as drive 
letters.  The use of SSL protects the username/password as well as the 
content in transit.

Re: I downloaded everything to no avail! ISO's fail to burn

2004-07-14 Thread Jerry McAllister
  
 Hey great advice thanks. I was wondering about that Boot cd burn. Now I guess I have 
 to study some since it just Halts. I read some other guy had the same thing happen 
 lol. I know I was reading that you need to reformat and partition a space for 
 FreeBSD. I don't think this does all the reformatting itself. I didn't read that it 
 did. I know most people like me start asking questions before they have read, But I 
 was reading. That ASCII vs Binary I knew nothing about before. Someone did tell 
 methe other day in an email through this. I can't believe the support you all give. 
 This intrigues me. I want to accomplish this soon. Get in the game. I have three 
 pc's since I can build them so I will dedicate at least one to this op. I hope all 
 someday maybe since I have been having programs crash lately on windows 2000. I 
 can't understand it. Fresh reformats too. Not sure if Microsofts upgrades are even 
 causing conflictions.
  
 Anyway if you have one quick answer about that HALT deal where pressing ENTER 
 doesn't start loading anything. In fact I couldn't select anything from that menu. I 
 wonder if that will ever function for me? I hope. I will start reading too step by 
 step also.

First of all, please send your messages to the list and not just to
an individual.   It allows more people - who probably know more than me - 
to see, and maybe respond to, your questions.  I may not be around for a 
while to see the question of may not know enough about, or be interested 
in continuing with, the thread.  Plus it only gets added the archive if 
it is posted to the list.  All messages to the list are archived and 
become part of the knowledge base for the system.

Secondly, please break your lines at around 70 characters length.
It makes it much easier to read and respond, especially for those
who are using a text based Email reader.  You can either set your
Email client to do this or just hit a RETURN/ENTER at about that
length for each line - just like with the oldfashioned typewriters.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the 'Halt'
You do not give any information about what is happening.
What are you doing when it 'halts'?  Are you attempting to burn 
or are you booting or have you already installed and are rebooting???

  Hi everyone, I am not sure how this works or if I will ever get feedback. Anyway I 
  just discovered FreeBSD yesterday. I read all about it and I am excited to 
  intrigue myself with this new pc adventure. Sounds great and I will learn 
  something about code at the same time. I feel it had a kind of old school feeling 
  to it, at the same time cutting edge technology. I am a believer in it's viability 
  over Microsofts Windows. They love to hide information from us not inform us.
  
  The reason I am writing. I downloaded the 5.2.1 IS0's. I burned the boot disk 
  successfully it seems. But I tried to burn the first big ISO file and it failed to 
  burn. Some type of burn error following the track or something. Then I tried that 
  other download that isn't the ISO but the regular files. That wouldn't do anything 
  either. It burned but I can't instal it. That doesn't boot. Or install in anyway. 
  
  I am wondering if FreeBSD is actually free or is this a way to get us to order the 
  retail box lol. I don't want to feel that way. Yestersay I was so excited about 
  this. I hope you can enlighten me some.
 
 Yup it is free. No scam.
 
 Probably you did something wrong. I am not familiar with all the
 various CD burner software packages, but I have notice two problems
 show up the most often.
 
 The first is downloading the ISO image in ASCI mode. This produces
 a corrupt image that won't work. Make sure you specify binary mode
 when you do the ftp. With command line FTPs, it is just a matter
 of typing binary when you are in the ftp session.
 
 The other most popular problem is trying to create a bootable ISO from 
 the image. It is already a bootable ISO image and needs to be burned
 straight to the CD without the utility trying to make an ISO or add any
 boot blocks or whatever with it. Just burn the straight data.
 
 You should also tell it to fixate.
 
 This stuff really does work once you get the details right.
 
 Good luck,

You can help this process along by including the output of pciconf -v

Um.. what do you mean by 'mount web folders'? Can you really
mount it as a driver letter? How to do it in webdav? (i suppose you
are using web_dav module for apache, right?) I don't think is it
too traffic intensive and i'd like to try it.

Sendmail/SSL and HIFN/Crypto card

Hi all, i have a Soekris HIFN/7955 card and im trying to get it to work
with Sendmail 8.12.11 using SMTPS/SSL (not TLS yet). Unfortunately I
cant get it to work. Openssl doesnt seem to be using the hardware crypto
card when used with sendmail. Sshd on the other hand does use the card. 
Im using hifnstats to check if the hardware is being used.

Anyone have an idea why sendmail/openssl isnt using the card and sshd is?

 Eric, the first three paragraphs of section 1 of RFC 2476 explain this.
 
 In a nutshell: an MTA is not supposed to munge email (apart from
 adding Received: headers and the like); however, many local clients
 submit via SMTP and the mail server needs to do lots more work:
 rewriting email addresses, and so on. The split of sendmail's operation
 into MTA (Transmission) and MSA (Submission) is to support this.
 


This is where I run aground into the mud of confusion.  
I always thought tat sendmail was just an MTA.  Hang the rest.
But then, sendmail is getting to reuire a Ph D to use

I get the screen saying to load default by selecting 1

2004-07-14 Thread Jerry Schromm
Hey everyone. First of all sorry for replying directly back to people when I was 
nicely given a reply. I didn't really know how this worked. Just starting out. I won't 
do that again.
I wasn't sure when I did reply and never replied to them all since it would have been 
outrageous rofl.
 
Well I finally burnt all the ISO's with all your help. I did make sure my FTP was in 
BINARY mode. At first I just downloaded them from my browser which might have been 
corrupting them. Then I integrated my FTP program into the browser so it automatically 
opened when I went to download. I set it to Binary and it downloaded fine.
 
 Not sure if it actually was corrupting it since I also got a bad burn again on the 
second disc I was burning. The first burn was fine. Anway I turned it down to 12X burn 
speed and they all recorded great. Though yesterday I ordered some discs off Ebay. 
From a guy that says he contributes to FreeBSD with the profits. I hope so.
 
QUESTION. I know I may be asking this question too soon. I should read that install 
book over. And take it step by step. I will. But for now I would enjoy a few replies 
on it. 
 
When boot up from the miniinstal and the screen comes up giving me the options it 
doesn't let me select anything. I want to select 1 or enter for default. It doesn't 
work. Then Hault comes up and it's over.
 
I know I was reading you want me to reformat a partition ready for freebsd so maybe 
that is it since I have an op on it already. I read that I need to use my current op's 
operating system FDISK or I would use Diskpart myself. I just thought Freebsd would 
load it up and give me a reformat option at startup. I WILL START READING AN HOUR A DAY
I PROMISE NOT TO SLOW ALL OF YOU DOWN! THANKS
 
Talk to you all later,

From that statement, I'm almost certain the answer is no, but are you 
using any ethernet-over-USB devices?
If so, you need to get USB 2.0 working throughout the system or you'll be 
limited to USB 1 speeds.
I really doubt this has anything to do with your problem, but it's the

Have you tried connecting your USB printer to see if FreeBSD recognizes it?  
If it does, using CUPS to configure it usually easier than setting it up on

FreeBSD 5.1 - WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE

2004-07-14 Thread freebsder
Hi Everyone ... thanks for your help thus far.  I've
made some changes below.  [I have Not made all the
changes that you've kindly suggested but enough that I
am able to ping back and forth ...  if I have ignored
your suggestion and you still see a gapping error,
please feel free to reinterate, I won't hold it again
you!]

OK, the changes  ...  
-I got rid of the ifconfig_vr0
-I set ifconfig_ed0 to 192.168.0.1 (where as _vr0 was
initially set as the gateway)
- I tried pinging from Freebsd to 192.168.0.4 the
WinXP #2 machine. and got through!
- I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to itself at
192.168.0.4 andit got through.  
- I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to ed0 at
192.168.0.1 andit got through!

BUT I still cannot get the WIN XP webbrowser to read
the internet. 

 What is wrong?

I think that the 
natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80
should be:
natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 80
I will try changing this and see what happends

I have include the revised RC.CONF below:

Also, a small problem ---  I have a webserver running
on the Freebsd box but everytime I reboot, I get a new
IP address(from above:  6X.9X.11X.3X).  The fixed IP
address always seems to be: 6X.23X.25X.12X.  However,
I have my domain name set to redirect towardsthe
dynamic address so everytime I reboot, I have to tell
the DNS server that holds my domain name my new IP
address.  Is there a way to configure it so that I
don't have to continuously change the IP address on
the DNS?

Should I just get rid of the line: 
ifconfig_vr0=DHCP
and set the DNS to 6X.23X.25X.12X?  Would that do the
trick?  Or should I get rid of ifconfig_ed0=DHCP?

Thanks again



MY original Post


I have a Freebsd 5.1 box connected to the internet. 
It works.  But I am now trying to network two other
Win XP machines as per the following network
hierarchy:


Setup

ISP- DSL Modem - FreeBSD box :
1) vr0 192.168.0.1 [Gateway machine address] 
2) ed0 192.168.0.3 [Internal Network address]
connects to:-

4- port HUB -
1)WinXP machine #1 192.168.0.2
2)Freebsd Box 192.168.0.3
3)WinXP machine #2 192.168.0.4


Problem:

I cannot communicate to the Internet from WinXP #2 
(Have not tried to config WinXP #1 yet).


Browser Config

IE Brower Settings for WinXP #2 {ToolsInternet
OptionsConnections)
-I set the browser so that it never dials a connection
because it is suppose to be networked right?
- in the LAN Settings option, I set the Proxyserver
option with the address of the gateway of 192.168.0.1
with Port 80


Dialouge

From Freebsd Machine
# ping 192.168.0.4
PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down

-at one point I was able to ping the freebsd machine
from WinXP #2 but then for some reason, I made a
change and cannot ping anymore...


RC.CONF


My rc.conf file looks like this:

 Um.. what do you mean by 'mount web folders'? Can you really
 mount it as a driver letter? How to do it in webdav? (i suppose you
 are using web_dav module for apache, right?) I don't think is it
 too traffic intensive and i'd like to try it.

 Artem

Oops, my mistake -- the web folder will not appear as a drive; but will 
appear under My Network Places using a name/description created by 
the user.  You can drag and drop files to and from the web folder

Mounting web folders (webdav protocol) in Windows 2K Pro or XP:

1. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).
2. From the menu, select Tools/Map Network Drive.
3. In the Map Network Drive window, below the Reconnect at logon 
checkbox, you'll find:

Connect using a different user name.
Create a shortcut to a Web folder or FTP site.

The words Web folder or FTP site. is a link.  Click on it to begin the 
Add network Place Wizard.


As for server-side information -- webdav and ssl modules are included in 
the default Apache2 installation using the ports system.

Using webdav:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html

Web server user authentication:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html

I can't seem to find the SSL certificate how-to I used; but I'm sure you 
can google your way through this part.

Note:  KDE's konqueror is the only easy-to-use webdav client that I've 
found for *nix.

Teaching FreeBSD..

2004-07-14 Thread Martin Laflamme
Good Afternoon,

My name is Martin Laflamme - I am the President of a training company in Ottawa, 
Canada called Marketbridge Technologies.

Apx. a year ago, we hired a BSD expert - Dru Lavigne.  Her skills and expertise in BSD 
and various UNIX platforms has impressed us.  We therefore decided it would be only 
logical to start offering BSD training.  She also authored BSD Hacks published by 
O'Reilly.

Our best marketing tool would be advertising right on freebsd.org.  If possible, we 
would like to find an agreement with freebsd.org to advertise on your website.  In 
exchange, we could provide compensation for every student who registers - perhaps 10 
or 15% of the course fee.

And, of course, it gets BSD out there a lot more.  Various companies in Ottawa, Canada 
think about going to Linux for their products lines - we have been approached for BSD 
courses in order to help these companies decide if they should use BSD or Linux.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Martin

ext3 mount (safe?)

2004-07-14 Thread Cleyton Agapito
Hi,

I read in list that FBSD doesn´t support ext3 filesystems, but it
can be mounted with ext2fs. It´s safe mount in write mode? I´m afraid of
lost same data of journal and crash my filesystem (I lose once in
Linux).
I have WXP (for my sister, of course), Linux and FBSD 5.2-RELEASE. I
mount the ext3 with ext2fs(ro) and msdosfs(rw); since, I ever get boot
warnings messages of umount not properly in all my slices and the
shutdown give 2 buffers that don´t sync (I think), samething like 13 13

Linux Compatibility

2004-07-14 Thread Girish L
Hi

 I have a freeBSD 5.2-CURRENT version running on a intel dual processor machine.

I need to turn the LINUX COMPATBILITY ON, but unfortunately the source
code for this version is not on the system.

If I do a sysinstall to obtain the source code, the system fails to
find the matching version and if i set the option to any release or
download any other version
(say 5.2.1-RELEASE) and modfiy the Kernel Configuration file GENERIC 
to add the option COMPAT_LINUX, I get a error on running config(8).

this error points about a version mismatch

Can anyone point me to the source code for 5.2-CURRENT release
or help me add the linux compatibility option and turn the linux
compatibility ON.

Thanks for any help in this regard

If the filesystem is unmounted cleanly each time, you won't lose anything.
The journal really comes into play in the event of a system crash.  If
Linux crashes, make sure to boot back into Linux so the filesystem can
be recovered using the journal.

I seem to remember this bug, I believe it was fixed in 5.2.1.

The workaround is to manually unmount the filesystem prior to shutting down,
but you should really update to 5.2.1.

The http://www.freebsd.org/ site does not really carry advertizing as

FreeBSD doesn't advertise.  Might have something to do with the name.  :-)
The FreeBSD website does have a commercial page with links to vendors of 
related services (http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/), so if you wanted to 
have a link indicating that your company provides training put on 
www.freebsd.org, file a PR change-request.

I can see that ns1.thought.org is also the mail exchanger for the
thought.org domain, but what is toxic.magnesium.net?

Regarding ns1.thought.org you can't just hope that it all works by
setting the rc.conf variables I mentioned.  You also have to set things
up in /etc/mail.  Have you changed any configuration files in that
directory?  If yes, what were the changes you made?

  Um.. what do you mean by 'mount web folders'? Can you really

 Oops, my mistake -- the web folder will not appear as a drive; but
 will appear under My Network Places using a name/description
 created by the user.  You can drag and drop files to and from the web
 folder

 Mounting web folders (webdav protocol) in Windows 2K Pro or XP:

 1. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).
 2. From the menu, select Tools/Map Network Drive.
 3. In the Map Network Drive window, below the Reconnect at logon
 checkbox, you'll find:

 Connect using a different user name.
 Create a shortcut to a Web folder or FTP site.

 The words Web folder or FTP site. is a link.  Click on it to begin
 the Add network Place Wizard.


 As for server-side information -- webdav and ssl modules are included
 in the default Apache2 installation using the ports system.

 Using webdav:
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html

 Web server user authentication:
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html

 I can't seem to find the SSL certificate how-to I used; but I'm sure
 you can google your way through this part.

 Note:  KDE's konqueror is the only easy-to-use webdav client that
 I've found for *nix.

I found the SSL how-to.  It was actually Michael Lucas's book Absolute

Install hangs in mfsroot kernel in scsi probing

2004-07-14 Thread Christoph Hintermller
Hi
I observe the following strange endless loop when booting from the 
installation floppies on my amd duron system.

1) booting from kern disk is ok - i do get till promt asking for mfsroot disk
2) continuing with mfsroot disk gets me to promt hit return or wait 10 sec to 
boot kernel. 
3) booting kernel is ok till it prints
scsi waiting 15 seconds for scsidevices to settle 

After this 15 seconds i only see a single line or two (cant tell exactly)
   scrolling endlessly repeated over the screen. It semms as if probing for 
   for the non existent  scsi harddrives sends the kernel into an endless
   loop.

I have to admit i use the 53c974 scsi controller as a mor advanced and

 I think that the

   ifconfig vr0= media 10baseT/UTP up

ifconfig_vr0=inet 192.168.0.1/24 media 10baseT/UTP up
ifconfig_ed0=inet 192.168.1.1/24

You will then need to change the IP addresses of the two WinXP machines to
use addresses starting with 192.168.1 (excluding .0, .1 and .255), a netmask
of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1.

supports CIDR notation.

hello twistfire (sorry, my font's aren't setup to see or write your name),

1) please never, ever, ever, ever again send a message without indicating a
subject line.  it makes it very hard for people to track the thread.  it
will also tend to get you ignored, because a lot of people only look at
messages that they either know something about or are interested in
learning about. you'll note that i've added a subject.  it is perhaps not a
perfect example, but it is roughly what is expected.

2) you could probably have found this answer for yourself either by
searching through the ports tree with the 'make search key' command
(google that if you don't know about it - onlamp.com has good bsd articles
on ports tricks).  you could also have figured this out yourself via web
interface like freebsd.org/ports or freshports.org.  finally, you could
even have found your answer by searching through the freebsd-questions
mailing list archives which are available at:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/

just type 'windmodem' (or whatever else you're trying to learn about!) in
the cute little textbox and press the 'magic' search button.

in the future, it will be expected that you do both of these.  this

  192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24 are blocks of addresses in CIDR notation,
  not the actual addresses to be fed to ifconfig.  You need to pick addresses
  within the netblock to use for myserver and all the other machines on your
  network.  Since myserver can reach the internet just fine, you should keep
  the IP address for vr0 the same, just lengthen the netmask to allow the use
  of 192.168.1.0/24 on the LAN.
 
 ifconfig(8) understands CIDR notation just fine, although it's not
 usual to configure an interface using the '.0' /network/ address.  Look
 on it as a third alternate way of specifying the netmask, so that the
 following three examples are equivalent:
 
   ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74/29
 ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 0xfff8
 ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.123.74 netmask 255.255.255.248
 
 Those correspond to the slightly contrived example of the /29 network
 starting with network address 192.168.123.72 and running up to the
 broadcast address 192.168.123.79
 
 Note: you can give a broadcast address on the ifconfig command line,
 but usually it's not necessary as a standard value will be calculated
 from any ip number forming part of that network and from the netmask.
 However you can't in general use ip address + broadcast to do the
 converse, as there isn't necessarily a unique solution.

I apologize for asking this question here, but I've googled and read
arp(4) and arp(1) and nothing I can see gives a clear answer (at least
clear to me).  It is related to this thread.

Is it the subnet mask that lets my computer know that for an IP address
located external to my network it should send the packet to the router
(using the router's MAC address) instead of arp-ing for the MAC address
of the target node?  This is the only way I can see that this would
make sense, as arp -a doesn't seem to return the MAC addresses of boxes
on the other side of my router under any circumstances.  I read a
document online that suggested that a router would recursively ARP for
a non-local MAC address but this seems insane and highly improbable to
me.  More likely is that my computer, knowing that an IP address is
not local by examining the network address, would choose a route from
its routing table, arp for that router's MAC address, and send the
packet thither.  But is that what actually happens?

Pointers to documentation explaining this accepted with my thanks.

Vinum questions

2004-07-14 Thread Fernando Sanchez
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm playing a bit with vinum. I'm trying to get to work RAID-0
(Striping) on 5.2.1-Release. The two hdds I'm using are slightly
different (38162MB and 39079MB) If I set vinum to use the same size for
both it works nicely, but if I try to use all the space for the second
drive I get this error when trying to newfs the volume:
newfs: wtfs: 65536 bytes at sector 156562592: Inappropriate ioctl for device
If I create a UFS FS on this drive it works fine. I also try to use the
second drive smaller than the first one and when I newfs this new volume
it stays frozen for some seconds and then I get the error:
newfs: wtfs: 512 bytes at sector 156282879: Input/output error
Is this because when using vinum the discs have to be the same size or
am I missing something? The configuration for vinum I'm using is as follows:
drive ad0 device /dev/ad0s1
drive ad1 device /dev/ad1s1
volume stripe
~ plex org striped 256k
~ sd length 38160m drive ad0
~ sd length 38150m drive ad1
I got this from some examples I found. I just change the size for the ad
drive.
I'm not subscribe to the list so please answear to my email.

Anjuta and libtools problem

2004-07-14 Thread Christian Schüler

This problem may be related to the problem reported in this
post:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-June/049088.html

When trying to Autogen a new project, the configure script bails with the
message:

...
./ltconfig: Can't open ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed

I then created an empty ./ltconfig file inside the Project directory.
This fixed the Autogen process, but the build is nevertheless broken.
When I build a wizard generated test project, I get the following message:

../libtool: Can't open ../libtool: No such file or directory

I do believe him that there is no ../libtool. So I tried to change
./ltconfig to contain a line emitting where I have libtool installed, like
so

#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin

and another version

#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin/libtool15

however, to no avail. I also tried symlinking libtool to different versions
like libtool13 and libtool15, and also copying a libtool executable to ../

Now I am clueless. Has anyone running Anjuta-1.2.2 on FreeBSD?
Might be worth noting that I run xFce, not the complete Gnome package.

Why don't you build it from ports and save yourself a lot of problems?

# cd /usr/ports/devel/anjuta
# make install clean

The port is currently building anjuta-1.2.2.

 That may well be good advise for the current ones, I don't know.  But I
 have some 5U with redundant PS Antec cases that are rock solid
 (literally), with shock mounted drive cage, everything.  Really nice
 (except the height).  I am still using them after 5 years of constant
 use.

That's good to hear... I'll keep that in mind if I ever need a 9 tall 
server :-). I owned two Antec tower cases before I bought their 2U rackmount. 
I thought the tower cases were good quality. The 2U is just poor layout  
design. And it's not inexpensive.

Re: ADI AD1888 AC'97 audio CODEC on ASUS P4P800S

2004-07-14 Thread Srot BULL
Thanks for the reply...It was only yesterday that I was able to test my 
PC...and below are what I did and some not so positive results...
I have the Asus P4P800E which has a similar onboard audio. Even
though it says unknown AC97 codec mine still works. Are you not
getting sound at all?
I just purchased a pair of speakers yesterday and spent some time
reading the User Guide...I tried to connect my speakers to the Lime
colored Line out (don't know the technical word) jack?? but no sound
came out and tried it to the other 2 jacks?? (Pink color and Light
Blue color)...again no sound...

artifex wrote:
I think the sound muted by default. Try to install rexima or aumix and
set the volumes in that. After you set the volumes try to play a
longer sound, music and try all the jacks one by one.
Followed your hints and installed aumix...The PCM and Volume was not 
muted on default...
So, I reccompiled my kernel with device pcm and device sbc (saw the 
hanbook)...still no sound...I was about to give up (by the way, I am 
using the latest Gnome 2 from the ports, was using the gnome cd player 
application for testing...), but I seem to remember that I mistakenly 
used the Music Player of Gnome and I heard some sound coming out...that 
was before, so I tried to play some radio stations using Music Player 
and found out that sound comes out using the pink colored jack, 
wonderful...I was able to confirm that sound does come out...
I am only wondering why does sound come out from the pink jack and not 
from the lime colored jack...? and only using Music Player...I tried 
using #cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 and no sound on either 3 jacks...of 
course, if I connect my speakers directly to my CD-RW/DVD player's phone 
jack music comes out...
Anyway more things that I should try to solve this...I hope there are...
I was hoping to use the lime-colored jack (that Window$ normally use) so 
that I do not have to move things, each time I use FreeBSD (I try not to 
use Window$, but I have it installed in my primary disk that my 
Girlfriend can have her way too - a good decision for a peaceful and 
healthy life...hehhe).
I hope nobody minds that I paste my long dmesg that you guys can look at 
it and maybe find something strange that I have done:
I would really appreciate any help/advice/hints on this...

hello danny,

i'm only going to speak to the part immediately above...

kind of yes, but mostly no.  the subnet mask simple provides a mathematical
means to segment a single ip block into smaller separate networks.
technically, the computer will look at it's local network (defined by the
block and subnet mask) to determine if the target machine is local.  if
not, your machine knows the target machine must be on another network and
it forwards the packets to the only other place it can, whatever gateway
you've defined (ie. your local router), which then forwards it up the
point-to-point connection to its gateway (your ISP's router), which
continues to forward it based on IP...

afaik, MAC addresses have nothing to do with this directly.  yes, MAC
addresses (OSI model - data link - layer 2) are mapped to IP addresses (OSI
model - network - layer 3) and vice versa.  these are kept in a cache in
order to speed up routing, somewhat like having a DNS cache can avoid much
of the processing wasted on resolving frequently used addresses.  generally
speaking, this cache is volatile in nature and can be cleared manually or
by power-cycling a router, to provide two examples.

 This is the only way I can see that this would
 make sense, as arp -a doesn't seem to return the MAC addresses of boxes
 on the other side of my router under any circumstances.  I read a
 document online that suggested that a router would recursively ARP for
 a non-local MAC address but this seems insane and highly improbable to
 me.  More likely is that my computer, knowing that an IP address is
 not local by examining the network address, would choose a route from
 its routing table, arp for that router's MAC address, and send the
 packet thither.  But is that what actually happens?
 
 Pointers to documentation explaining this accepted with my thanks.

  me.  More likely is that my computer, knowing that an IP address is
  not local by examining the network address, would choose a route from
  its routing table, arp for that router's MAC address, and send the
  packet thither.  But is that what actually happens?
  
  Pointers to documentation explaining this accepted with my thanks.

Basic Question (I think): Upgrading xargs

2004-07-14 Thread Scott Moss
Hi,

Just wondering what the easiest way to upgrade xargs would be. I'm running 
4.5-RELEASE (yes I know -_-, new build is coming with the new machine). Anyhow I've 
been constantly getting errors when ever I try to make anything from ports and it 
seems to be xargs being an older version or something like that, doesn't see the -E 
flag as being valid.

What do I have to do to get this fixed ?

Thanks in advance

There are plenty of ways, but they all involve some understanding of
the build process.  If you need to ask, the simplest answer would be
upgrade to a more recent version of FreeBSD.
