Which version of FreeBSD to support a 3ware Escalade 7006 and 8006 controllers?
I'm looking at getting a 3ware Escalade 7006 or 8006 RAID controller for one of my servers. The machine presently runs RELENG_4_8. The twe man page for that version doesn't list the 7000 or 8000 series controllers. However, 3ware lists 4.8 as the supported version of FreeBSD for both. Which is correct? More to the point: What would be the recommended version of FreeBSD I should use for these controllers?

That depends on the console program you're using. For an xterm(1),
the following in ~/.Xdefaults will give you 8k scrollback lines:
xterm*saveLines:8192
(Remember to run '/usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults' out
of .xsession or .xinit so that gets set every time you log in)
For the system console, you'll need to play with the syscons(4)
history size. Modify your kernel configuration to set
options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=N
where N is the number of lines of scroll back you want (default 100).
Then build and install a new kernel in the usual way:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
There doesn't seem to be any way of achieving the same effect via
sysctl(8), which is unfortunate.

Matthew

Or when you list the contents of a large directory the same thing happens. The messages may have scrolled off your screen, but they are still in the screen buffer. You can redisplay the messages from the screen buffer. You hit the keyboard 'scroll lock' button, (IE: top row right side) and then use the keyboard up arrow button to scroll back through the screen buffer to redisplay the message lines. The 'page up' and 'page down' buttons also work to move backward and forwards through the screen buffer one full screen page at a time. Hit the 'scroll lock' button again when you are finished to return to the command line prompt. The default size of the screen buffer is to small to contain all the boot messages, so it should be increased to 200 lines. This is how you increase the size of the screen buffer. Add the -h 200 option onto the allscreens_flags= statement you already added to the /etc/rc.conf file ee /etc/rc.conf and add this statement, allscreens_flags=h 200 # -h size of scroll lock buffer in number of lines Save the changed file and reboot your system for your edit changes to take effect. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After burning the image to CD, I checked the checksums, which were the same. When I put the CD in the drive and attempt to boot from it, I just get a register dump and the computer halts. I have just got over a similar painful learning experience. I made a dumb mistake that might help you. I first just burnt the ISO file to a CD like I would any other file. (I had no idea what an ISO image was :)) After i discovered that you need special software to burn an ISO image, I downloaded the trial version of UltraISO software. It wanted to use Nero Burning ROM to actually do the burn. Once I had these 2 bits of software installed, I could actually use the CD's I burnt. I also burnt CD's of the 2 flp images. I happened to use Sonic Record Now to do that, and there was a button I could press that read the flp image and created a bootable CD. (This was pretty useful because the floppy drive in the PC was unusable) Hope this helps Peter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: 4.10 Install failure.
Hey Guys, The CD's both have valid data structures (i.e. directories, etc...). I'm positive that I burnt the image correctly, as it's not just an .ISO file and the checksums check out correctly.

Re: Is promiscuous mode bad?
In the last episode (Aug 16), Ruben de Groot said: On Sun, Aug 15, 2004 at 07:53:10PM -0700, Kevin Stevens typed: A lot of network scanners also trigger on NICS in promiscuous mode (there's a way to detect them, I forget the details at the moment) because admins want to know if any hosts are out there sniffing. How sure are you about that? AFAIK there's no way to detect a NIC in promiscuous mode *from the outside*. I would be very interested in a network scanner that could. The basic points are that since the kernel sees packets it usually doesn't, there may be codepaths that incorrectly process certain packets and send replies. There's also a small delay in processing all those extra packets that might be seen as extra latency in pings etc. As CPUs get faster and kernel bugs get fixed, these become harder and harder to detect. Do a web or usenet search for detect promiscuous mode for lots and lots of links. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any problems with php 4.3.8_2
Hi, I upgraded the php4 port on this 4.8-RELEASE box to 4.3.8_2. I'm also using apache+mod_ssl-1.3.31+2.8.19. When the lines LoadModule php4_modulelibexec/apache/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c are uncommented, apache segfaults on startup. We're not in a position to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD, given that this box is a thousand miles away from us and I, being a novice in many respects, am considered the unquestioned unix/bsd/etc expert in this company (sadly, I wear too many hats for my employers to become genuinely experienced in any one thing). I read in a recent post that installing php5 seems to be something that you install *instead* of mod_php5 and php5-cli. Does the same apply for php4? I ask because I have mod_php4-4.3.8_2,1, php4-4.3.8_2 and php4-cli-4.3.8_2 installed here (as listed in /var/db/pkg, all installed from ports) Has anything simlar to what I've described been reported with newer versions of php?

Any suggestions will be welcomed. :) Hmmm... well, the structure of the php4 ports parallels the structure of the php5 ports, so yes you are correct that you shouldn't have all of the packages installed simultaneously. If you try and install that combination with an up to date ports tree it will complain: % cd /usr/ports/lang/php4 % make -V CONFLICTS php4-cli-4* mod_php4-4* php4-cgi-4* php5-5* php5-cli-5* mod_php5-5* php5-cgi-5* Unless you've been deliberately ignoring warnings, the only way you can end up with that sort of situation is by updating a system from before the CONFLICTS mechanism was introduced. Since the whole CONFLICTS thing is about not installing ports that all lay claim to various files, the symptom you see of PHP causing apache to segfault could well be a consequence. Another way in which you can get into trouble is to install a php *package* from the FTP sites: the package will have been compiled against the plain non-ssl version of apache, and that is significantly different internally to the mod_ssl version you're using. So long as you compile the php stuff yourself, everything should work OK with whatever version of apache you choose. I suggest that you deinstall all PHP related ports (anything with php or pecl in the name) and start again from scratch just installing the minimum that you need. With the new ports framework it's very easy to add extension modules, should you find that you need to.

Unless your running quite a complicated setup or have specific requirements then there isn't really any preference for one over the other. If you're running a typical home system, even with say, a 10Mbit/s cable modem connection, any reasonably modern FreeBSD machine is going to be able to do firewall filtering without breaking into a sweat. You'ld need so quite fancy hardware to detect performance differences between the two. Probably the biggest reason to choose one over the other is simple personal preference between the different rule-set styles. ipfw is 'first match wins' (hence rule sets tend to be ordered from most to least specific). ipfilter is 'last match wins', so the most general rules tend to go at the top of rulesets -- although there are special 'quick' rules that can shortcut the process. In general both firewalls have very similar functionality. ipfw(8) can act as a filtering bridge and it can provide weighted fair queuing and bandwidth limited pipes in conjunction with dummynet(4). ipfilter seems to have more complete IPv6 support than ip6fw.

If possible I'd like to set the scroll back to 600 lines or so (at least). Question: How do I increase the scrollback on 4.10? That depends on the console program you're using. For an xterm(1), the following in ~/.Xdefaults will give you 8k scrollback lines: xterm*saveLines:8192 xterm like programs allow the -sl switch lines. I've had problems with numbers approaching 32767 but have never nailed down exactly how many lines I can save. I safely use -sl 3 for xterm, rxvt, aterm, and gnome-terminal. I use screen most of the time in my terminal sessions, which also includes a nice option for scrollback. Putting the following in my ~/.screenrc file works like a charm: defscrollback 1 This is IMHO a bit more preferable than using syscons scrollback, because syscons allocates memory inside the kernel for the scrollback buffer IIRC. I tend to prefer userspace allocations when possible, like the xterm -sl or screen's scrollback. Greetings: Thank you for the tips!!! I went and tried this using this kdbcontrol command in my .cshrc: # added to increase scrollback to 1000 /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -h 1000 This gave me 1,000 lines when I'm logged into the console however, it resulted in a Inapproriate ioctrl for device error when using xterm (xfterm4) under xfce4. So I removed the kdbcontrol from my .cshrc and used a -sl 3000 option to launch xfterm4. So launching xfterm4 -sl 3000 now does the trick!

The cmd line says 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode and then hangs. Eventually it does work, but it greatly impedes my coding efforts. What is odd is that this does *not* occur when I access an identical ProFTPd installation on another machine.

Hi all Just a quick question, as it was posted on the list nvidia has released some new drivers, i've yet to try these drivers but at the moment im having to use -CURRENT to be able to get the previous release to work properly and they did very well. I rebuilt my world/kernel with -CURRENT and then my software, xorg, gnome 2.6 etc. My questions is, everything ive compiled was with gcc 3.4.x thats in -CURRENT if i downgrade to 5.2.1 Release will this cause any problems with the software i compiled with the newer gcc. Reasons being for changing as i dont like being that much on the bleeding edge as im just a user not a developer, saying that thou these new drivers might not work out for me and i may end up going back to -CURRENT, as i had the libpthread libr_c problem and had to map them with libmap.conf Anyway any opinions please as im going to do this tonight and if it means it will screw things up i might just reinstall.

firewire pseudo-hotplug
Hello, Is there any way to make a shell script execute immediately after a firewire device is plugged in? The man pages and mailing list archives didn't even get me close to a hint of whether this is possible or not. Failing that, is there a (good) way to tell from the command line whether a particular device (say, a hard disk) happens to be plugged in or not?

802.1x
I will be attending college in a few weeks. The network at this uni requires 802.1x authentication over wireless connections. I've scoured google all over and discovered Open1x--which has openly dropped all BSD support--and a guy who has ported Open1x, but only on wired connections. I'm a decent programmer in some regards, but not so much C/system code, so it's not like I could just make the neccesary adjustments and recompile. :) Is 802.1x supported on FreeBSD yet? I know I can build open1x on a Linux box, but that is my ABSOLUTE LATE resort. I really want to keep using FreeBSD, but if I can't access the school's network I won't be able to continue doing so.

Jay O'Brien Hello, To quote from the link: In SSH2, an attacker impersonating a trusted host can launch an attack before the client has the ability to determine the difference between the trusted and fake host. This attack is performed before host key verification. Presuming one were connecting over private network IP space by IP address only, then I believe you are correct. I can imagine scenarios in which if one were to connect over the Internet or even into a different network segment using DNS that one would be at risk. The vendor has a patched the hole and released 0.55, recommending all users update. If I were using this software, I would take their advice.

filesystem full on install
I'm trying to install FreeBSD for the first time but I am having an error that I can't figure out. I have googled for an answer and read mailing list posts but still can't find what I'm looking for. First, when the disk boots and checks the hardware, it does something strange to my network card that makes my router light turn yellow instead of green indicating 10 Mbps mode instead of 100. Anyway, once I get ready to do the install, it can't contact the ftp site, it just stays forever at connecting but it does change my network card back so the router light is green. If I do a control c to cancel it and restart installation, I can contact the site. However, when it starts to install, it fails saying the filesystem is full. This can't be. It's a 40Gb drive. I started by overwriting my hd using a utility called boot and nuke. Then I allocated the whole thing to freebsd and made that partition bootable. Then in disklabel, I hit a to do a default setup. I've tried several different things in disklabel and I wipe my disk clean between each try and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

During the reinstall, when it comes time to slice the disk with fdisk, simply delete the previous slice and recreate it. That will blow away anything that existed before. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Vinum in -CURRENT (was: Vinum panic on boot)

I have a machine running 5-CURRENT sources from yesterday (yes I know the dangers of running CURRENT and I did read the mailing list archives). Well, the issue was discussed there. I think I found a bug, if I add start_vinum=YES to /etc/rc.conf, at boot I get a panic with a message saying: panic: vinum: dangling vnode snip Im sorry I do not have the complete message, it is the machine I am using as a gateway and I prefered to get online and find some more information. I'd be happy to compile a debugging kernel if necessary. Well, is the least that people will ask of you when running -CURRENT. But since this problem has already been reported, there's no longer much point. The current status of Vinum in -CURRENT is that it is being rewritten. The introduction of the GEOM layer has badly broken Vinum, and it has been decided better to rewrite it than to fix it. It'll be a while before it's smooth again.

There is indeed and I finally found an article that speaks about it. The solution was for me to manually enter the passive command before transferring. This is odd seeing as it says it's entering some form of passive mode, but it's really not. What's even more odd is that for me to make Konqueror work with this server, I had to go to KControl and turn PASV ftp mode OFF! Go figure. Anyway, it seems to work now.

Do you know of any such animals? dummynet(4) will probably do what you want unless you need to do it per user. Can be done if you use inetd.
