Gaim-Encryption
I've looked on Google and the mailing archives and don't really find anything were others are complaining about the same issue. So I'm assuming because I'm new to FreeBSD that I'm overlooking something. I made sure that my ports tree was synced with the most upto date ports. I went into the /usr/ports/net/gaim and did make fetch-recursive and then make install clean. Among other things this compiled the newst version of Gaim V 0.80. No problems. This works great. But now I would like to use encyption so I goto /usr/ports/security/gaim-encyption and do make fetch-recursive and then make install clean. This compiled fine. Gaim-Encryption v2.28. But when I open up Gaim to load the Encryption-Plugin it doesn't show up listed at all. I tried rebooting and still the same. I tried deinstalling Gaim and the reinstalling. Still the same thing.. Does anyone have Gaim working with Gaim encryption? I've looked in the MAKE files but I'm unsure of what to do if anything. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Joshua Banks __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Konqueror fails after samba update
Hi everybody, I've a 5.2.1 FreeBSD system running on a windows network, with Kde 3.1.4. Recently, i noticed that, the default samba that cames with the installation is 2.2.8, which has some compatibility problems with windows XP (but works fine with win95, 98 and 2000), at least in my case. So, I upgraded to Samba 3.0.1 from the ports, and everything was ok, except that a component of konqueror seems to be broken now, and I cannot browse my smb network within it, when i try to do, ie: smb://somemachine, it displays a KIO_smb error. Apparently, some konqueror components resulted damaged after the upgrade, but I wonder if there is any way to fix it without reinstalling kdebase again. If someone has any idea???

Re: ADSL (1 dyn IP) = FreeBSD = WinGate = NAT Network???
Andrew wrote: Hi! I've been using Wingate for months now to distribute an internet connection among 10 users (NAT). Stunned by regular failures of Windows 2000, Wingate and other evil software, I decided to switch to FreeBSD. I read the handbook and about 3000 more pages of manuals / how-to's / guides. I set up FreeBSD with all applications I currently need for server tasks. I now need to test some applications, while keeping a part of the load on the Wingate machine. What I want to do is connect to internet via ADSL, using the bsd box, and let Wingate use the connection through the box. What is the best way to retain most of the NAT functionality? If you are happy to not know what Wingate is, try to assume that it is just another nat-box. Can bsd somehow forward connection, so that the nat-box almost feels like it has a real IP? There's no need to complicate this. The FreeBSD box will provide NAT for anything behind it, and if that includes the Wingate machine, fine, no problem. If the Wingate machine is in turn providing NAT for other machines, fine, no problem. If Wingate is using, say 192.168. addresses for it's Natted network, use, say 172.16. for the FreeBSD internal addresses.

I'm pretty certain that Gaim didn't build with NSS support but I don't see any errors when running gaim -d. I don't see anything related to gaim-encryption or NSS being loaded either. So it appears that Gaim isn't being built with NSS support. So if I don't have an /etc/make.conf then how do I force Gaim to build with NSS support when it compiles?

Mounting two different disk slices on the same mount point
Hello FreeBSD gurus, Some linux guy gave me a strange idea: You have two disks, /dev/da1s1e and /dev/da2s1e and I mount the two to a single mount point. Do I end up with the total capacity of the two disks on the said mount point? To be a bit clear, da1 is, say, 36GB and da2 is 72GB and I mount as above to /mnt Does /mnt now have 108GB? What are the dangers of doing this? How does the system use the disks? I haven't tested this anyway. Is this something sane?

If you try mounting two partitions literally in the same place, either one will overlay the other so you can only access the last mounted partition, or you'll get an error message and fail to mount the second one. (Which occurs depends on the filesystem type). What I think your Linux using friends were thinking of, even if they were unclear on the concept, is some form of logical volume management. Under FreeBSD, you could use vinum(8) to create a concat volume from the two partitions, which would give you give you a filesystem the size of the sum of both components. That's not new functionality. It's been available in FreeBSD for ages (since 2.x I believe) through vinum(8) or one of it's predecessors like ccd(4).

In fact, the p5-podlators port will try and overwrite some files claimed by the perl-5.8.5 port. There's no point in installing both. Just deinstall the p5-podlators port, and re-install perl-5.8.5 and all will be well. Even if you subsequently go and install a port with an explicit dependency on p5-podlators, the ports system will detect that the module is available even though it was installed as part of a different port. Other than occasionally having to run 'pkgdb -F' there won't be any downside.

If the Wingate machine is in turn providing NAT for other machines, fine, no problem. Thanks, that's how I planned to do it. I just though there might be a way to forward/redirect packets in order to avoid natd. But on the other hand, I'll test natd this way as well.

A serious Oops moment
So I was trying to properly install a new 200G WD HDD on a Highpoint controller and wasn't having any luck, so I figured I might as well try getting the USB2 Enclosure working with the machine too while I was at it (also a 200G drive, but formatted for NTFS), connecting the drive and going back to seeing where I might have the highpoint controller recognized I forgot all about the USB drive --- bad mistake. I went into the /stand/sysinstall under fdisk and saw I had a 200G drive there, Oh, I must have done something to enable the HighPoint controller I said .. let's edit it .. Strange, it's reporting NTFS/QNX/.. did I get a drive with something on it ? I was unable to mount the drive with NTFS (it wasn't in my kernel) so I just said forget it and tried to fdisk, it tossed a warning about doing the fdisk separately from the disklabel, so I said, ok , I'll wait.. and went off to do the disklabel at the same time. at which point on trying to disklabel the disc I believe the disklabel wrote out (improperly) and then crashed the PC -- at which point I realized my mistake. I don't think that the full write even started because it was a hard crash and occurred very soon after I executed the command, I don't have the debug screen that appeared afterward, it was a kernel panic.

Re: file system setup for new system - recommendations?
On Aug 6, 2004, at 7:29 PM, Jay O'Brien wrote: I've learned that I need another partition to which I can write tar backups and then ftp them to one of my windows machines on my LAN. How have you learned this lesson? Tar isn't really the best thing for backing up the OS. Besides, you don't need to backup the OS if you have the install CD and careful notes as to your selections during installation. So, I've tried to identify the optimum configuration for the rebuild of my machine to accommodate that need. I have a 120GB IDE HD, so I don't have space problems. I presently have 128MB of RAM, but it looks like I should plan to accommodate an increase to 1024GB in the future. I plan to host a few web pages, and hope to be able to ultimately run a MTA and mail lists using majordomo or mailman in the future. I have static IPs and permission to run a server on my internet access. I think you will have to run your system a while guessing then reconfigure when you identify the deficiencies. A 120G HD is in the $70 to $90 range these days so when the time comes to reconfigure just put another in with the new layout and shoot your data over. A single root filesystem for the OS is possible but when disk space is so cheap then there are good reasons to stick with tradition of separate /, /var, /tmp, and /usr filesystems. One of the elegant beauties of mature Unix is how one can mount a new filesystem anywhere within the directory hierarchy which appears just like a directory to casual inspection. So when a 256MB /var isn't big enough to hold your /var/mail you could mount another partition on /var/mail or create a mail directory elsewhere and replace /var/mail with a symbolic link pointing at the new one. Rather than a GB root filesystem with the entire OS on it let me suggest sticking with the defaults but limit /usr to 1GB (or 8GB as disk is cheap). Name the remainder something like /home. Segregate OS and utilities from user data. Put all user data and accounts here. Might symlink /var/mail to /home/mail/. Last time I tried, sysinstall was smart enough to notice /home was a fs and didn't try to create the symlink. When using tar to do backups, bite off directories, not filesystems. For system backups keep a list of files which define your system: /etc/rc.conf, /etc/hosts, ... then use the -I option to tar to read that file list when performing the backup. Write your backups to a directory outside of the backup scope. I find /root/tar.filelist to be a good place to stash my precious file list. If the tar archives are too big for the Windows machine then one can always chop them up into tarballs. A Reference says keep the root section small, another says include /usr and /var in root, there's a discussion of the relative speed of the outside of a spinning HD to the middle of the HD, there's not an agreement on the size of the swap space, and, as I said, I'm confused. You don't say if this is 4.x or 5.x. If a 120G filesystem is dirty at mount time one might have to wait a long time on fsck. Possibly background fsck has been backported to 4.x, but is in 5.x and gets the system up and running faster. With traditional / there is very little changing on / with a running system so its much safer to mount / dirty. If / had user data then its more risky. The rule of thumb says swap should always be twice core. I don't know if there is any overhead penalty for having too much. It is best to distribute one's swap across spindles for maximum performance. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I realise my previous reply indicated I didn't read your post thoroughly enough, sorry! Although, taking into account all of the information in my previous message, you should be able to place WinGate in front of the BSD NAT box and have your WinGate default gateway set to the BSD NAT box. Alternatively, as I said earlier, it is preferable to let your router be the default gateway of your network, and let the hosts go out through your FreeBSD machine (or WinGate machine). This way, you can configure a client's default gateway to *either* your FreeBSD or WinGate machine, and everything from that point on will go out through your router. This won't work, unfortunately, if you have to initiate your PPP connection from Windows or FreeBSD. If you do, you'll *have* to layer NAT on NAT to preserve both gateways.

If you are happy to not know what Wingate is, try to assume that it is just another nat-box. Can bsd somehow forward connection, so that the nat-box almost feels like it has a real IP? Perhaps you should let your router do all the PPP, and then set the default gateway on the hosts of your network to your FreeBSD machine (with it's gateway set to the router). However, if you're initiating a PPPoE session from FreeBSD or have some other way that this is working, then you need only add the following lines to FreeBSD to support NAT: in /etc/rc.conf, add: router_enable=YES gateway_enable=YES You should also consider adding, especially if your BSD machine is live to the Internet, and not behind NAT itself: firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=/etc/rc.firewall.rules where /etc/rc.firewall.rules is a plain text file in the following firewall rule format: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]$ less /etc/rc.firewall.rules add allow tcp from any to any 21 add allow tcp from any to any 25 add allow tcp from any to any 113 add allow udp from any to any 53 keep-state add allow tcp from any to any 53 add allow udp from any to any 123 keep-state add allow tcp from any to any 80 add allow tcp from any to any 22 add allow ip from me to any add allow icmp from any to any add allow ip from 10.0.0.0/24 to any add allow tcp from any to any established add allow ip from any to any frag As you can see above, the rules I've included allow traffic from any to any on several ports (ftp/dns/www/ssh, etc) and then the following five lines allow IP, ICMP, IP traffic from the 10.0.0.0/24 network, and 'add allow tcp from any to any established' (which is very important for NAT behind a firewall) and frag (fragmented connections). If you implement a firewall you will need that 'established' line, because it allows TCP/IP traffic to flow from any host on the Internet to any host via the socket (TCP connection to a host on a specific port) that was established by the NAT client who initiated the connection. ie, if client 10.0.0.1 requests http://www.freebsd.org:80, the NAT gateway, according to 'allow tcp from any to any established' will allow traffic to flow between www.freebsd.org to 10.0.0.1 on port 80 for the life of the open socket. Once that socket is closed by either end, it means the client or the remote server can no longer communicate to each other unless a new socket is opened by the NAT client.

Re: file system setup for new system - recommendations?
On Fri, Aug 06, 2004 at 05:29:56PM -0700, Jay O'Brien said: Here's where I am, and I would appreciate your collective comments. I'm persuaded to use 1026MB for swap, 8GB for root (/), 30GB for /backup tars, and the remainder for /home. The /tmp, /usr, and /var directories would be included in the 8MB root. Web pages and mailing lists would be in home. I would be able to backup directories (or subdirectories) to tar files in the backup directory of sizes that wouldn't choke my windows machines when ftp'd to them for storage. I use the following on my laptop: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 248M97M 131M42%/ /dev/ad0s2e 248M17M 211M 7%/tmp /dev/ad0s2f 48G11G32G26%/usr /dev/ad0s2d 248M95M 133M42%/var (some, such as devfs, trimmed from output) If you are looking to build a production machine, it is recommended, if you can calculate it, to create seperate partitions for /var and /tmp. That way if a program runs away and starts filling your system, with logs or other garbage, it will fill the partition and not impact other critical areas of your system. On my server, I have a similar layout, however I'm using 1Gb each for /var and /tmp. You should give /usr a lot more than 8Mb, because as your system grows, so will /usr/local. All of my custom built software goes in /usr/local, and as such you will need to give it a lot of room to move. The FreeBSD ports collection also resides on /usr, and the more software you compile, the more disk space it will need to extract and compile. My /usr/ports tree is currently 1.1Gb. I don't clean it up very often, so there are plenty of 'work' directories strewn throughout it. /usr/src is also stored on the /usr partition, should you choose to install it. Mine is currently 368Mb. You'll need disk space free on /usr if you ever wish to recompile your kernel, as the compiling is all done in /usr/obj. The /home directory, by default, is also stored on /usr/home. It is just symlinked as part of a base install to /home. Of course, you can make this partition, like any other, completely seperate and give it any size you like, but depending on the role of your system, you may just wish to set your partition sizes for /, /tmp, /var, and then give the rest to /usr. Unless you have a specific requirement for giving your home directories a smaller amount of room, then you should do this. If you don't have a seperate disk for data, most of your data will get stored in your home directory. Where possible, I have always set up FreeBSD machines with two disks: one for the base system, including /usr, and the other I mount as /data. This disk is a physically seperate disk and I use it for data storage. That way I can take it out of one machine and put it into another without having to worry that I'll be taking my core installation with it.

Re: 5.2-current: device pcm
Hello Hanspeter: Read the /usr/src/UPDATING and also take a look at the /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES. But this is what it comes down to: adding device sound and device snd_*. (removing device pcm or whatever you had there before of course) I would recommend adding device sound to your kernel and even all the snd_* drivers, until you find out which one worked... Then remove the rest and only leave the one that matched the specs of your pc. Unless of course you see your sound card on the /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and you know exactly what snd_* you need. something like this.. device sound device snd_ad1816 device snd_als4000 #device snd_au88x0 device snd_cmi device snd_cs4281 device snd_csa device snd_ds1 device snd_emu10k1 device snd_es137x device snd_ess device snd_fm801 device snd_gusc device snd_ich device snd_maestro device snd_maestro3 device snd_mss device snd_neomagic device snd_sb16 device snd_sb8 device snd_sbc device snd_solo device snd_t4dwave device snd_via8233 device snd_via82c686 device snd_vibes #device snd_vortex1 device snd_uaudio hope this helps... -Lester A.

How to install FreeBSD on 2nd removable UltraBay Drive of a Dell600 NoteBook
I have Windows/XP install on my Dell 600 Notebook. Since with that Notebook I have the option of booting from a removable Ultrabay disk drive, I would like to install FreeBSD on the second drive. The problem is that in order to initiate the installation whether I do it using FTP, HTTP or NFS, I have to remove the 2nd drive to replace it with a CD/DVD or Floppy drive to boot and start the install process. It is during this initial phase that my notebook hardware is detected. Naturally at that time the 2nd drive is not in the ultrabay, so it is not detected, but either the floppy or CD/DVD drive is. Once the sysinstall program is running when I replace my boot device by the 2nd disk, I don't see the second drive when I try to define the partition. I have a local net with a desktop already running FreeBSD and a FreeBSG 5.1 bootable install CD. Any suggestion how to proceed to install FreeBSD on the 2nd UltraBay drive of my Dell 600 Notebook.

No problems with the install, tried creating a partition with dangerously dedicated and also, just using the entire disk with standard bootmanager. Each time, after the initial reboot I get an error: Mounting root from ufs:ad0s1a Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from ufs:ad0a Root mount failed: 6 Manual root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input mountroot I tried: mountroot ufs:/dev/ad4s1a but that fails too. The disk is a Seagate 120GB and it's actually ad4, not ad0. If I interrupt the boot process at: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: and enter: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: 0:ad(4,a)/kernel the machine will boot properly. I've tried two things I found while checking on this: 1. Adding to loader.conf: rootdev=disk4s1a root_disk_unit=0 2. Rebuilding the kernel and adding: optionsROOTDEVNAME=\ufs:ad4s1a\ Neither of which worked.Is there something I'm missing while doing the installation? If I look in /dev the devices are there ad4, ad4s1, ad4s1a, ad4s1b, etc. About at wit's end ... any help would be great. I've been reading the booting section in the FreeBSD and have a thought. If during booting, I interrupt the process at: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: and manually type in: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: 0:ad(4,a)/kernel designating the device ad4 as the boot device, the computer boots properly. So in the handbook I see: Example 12-2. boot2 Screenshot FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: so I would have to make a change to boot2. Yes? No? And I followed the instructions, first writing a new mbr with: fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad4 and then: disklabel -B /dev/ad4 But no joy ... machine still doesn't boot properly. How can I correctly change boot2 so it boots off of ad4 instead of ad0 ? What am I missing? I have a few other machines configured the same way so I would like to learn what the problem is ... not just looking for an easy answer.

Re: How to install FreeBSD on 2nd removable UltraBay Drive of a Dell600 NoteBook
That might work, but with the use of floppies going rapidly obsolete I would prefer not to buy an extra floppy drive. I could use a 128MB SD card in a USB drive. However I am not sure it would be possible to format it as a bootable device and boot from it. I am not sure either that just copying the content of the kernel, root and driver floppy onto it would do the job. Gilbert arden wrote: how about getting a usb floppy drive ?

Re: I did something stupid ?
Sound like what you actually did was upgrade to FreeBSD-CURRENT which is bleeding edge (and probably closer to 5.3 than 5.21), and then downgraded to 5.2.1. If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more knowledgable answering). I don't really see why you would be having trouble booting, unless you installed something, out of sequence. Have you tried booting the previous kernel?

Re: file system setup for new system - recommendations?
Thanks to Stheg Olloydson, Adam Smith, and David Kelly for your thoughts and recommendations. First, to answer your questions. It was my error on the RAM; yes, I meant to say 1024MB, not 1024GB (blush). And, I'm (now) using FreeBSD 4.10 because it looks like it was the right one to choose to use as a learning vehicle. David Kelly hit on my real issue. He said A 120G HD is in the $70 to $90 range these days so when the time comes to reconfigure just put another in with the new layout and shoot your data over. I hadn't looked at it that way. Today I sent an order to Newegg for a second Seagate 120GB drive ($101.05 including tax shipping). I will install the new drive and do exactly what David suggests, build the new layout and shoot it over. Based on your collective guidance the new system will have a bit better thought out file structure. Once I can see that it is doable to make these kind of changes with a second HD, then I won't be as apprehensive about making file structure changes in the future, and it will also meet my backup requirements. I'm leaning now toward using the default file structure, with somewhat larger partitions. I appreciate the caution about the reason for separate partitions that could fill, under a trouble condition, without killing everything else. A powerful reason to make individual partitions. But first I need to get my new HD and make it work with what I have working now. David, unknowing, you were a salesman for newegg! Now to learn more about grofs(8); I wasn't aware of that capability at all. I was one of the first users of CP/M and begrudgingly went to DOS; I was a power user of DOS for years. I had a small amount of experience with unix as a user on the Bell Labs system, (before I retired from the Bell System in 1985) so, based on these three operating systems, command line stuff is not new to me. What is new to me are all the powerful commands like grofs. It's fun learning a new language, and encouraging to be accepted into this support group.

No, the OP has cvsup to the security branch for 5.2.1.R If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more knowledgable answering). I don't really see why you would be having trouble booting, unless you installed something, out of sequence. Have you tried booting the previous kernel? This part what I don't understand either. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

burning mp3's
Hello, Simple question probably, i want to burn about 690 mb of mp3's to disk. To date i've only used cdrecord to make either audio .wav disks or data disks, make an iso, then burn that iso to disk. I'm wondering if there's a howto on mp3 burning? Thanks.

If you have burned a data disk with directories, you know howto.

Many thanks Mike Bruce Very simple solution: create a rule to allow only traffic from known subnets. This will completely deny requests from IP addresses you're not sure of.
