SUCCESS...at least at 40-bit WEP, which is good
enough, it's not like getting up higher will make that
much of a difference.  Thanks for the tips, still
puzzled why two cards in the same system can't be on
the same subnet.

thanks for the help.

Re: Finding the Right Sound Driver ...

Hi!
I have been reading the text "Setting Up the Sound Card" at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html
in order to find and install the right driver for the sound card in my i386. The
hardware is an ESS 1869 PCI. Before I had WinXP installed on this hardware and
it reported that the location of the card is: PCI slot 3 (PCI bus 0, device 14,
function 0)
I did whatever is described in the section 7.2.1 of the manual:
1- I checked the entries in "/boot/defaults/loader.conf". The right line was
 snd_sbc_load="NO"
I imagine this means that the driver is already somewhere on the harddisk!
2- Then I inserted the following line into /boot/loader.conf
 snd_sbc_load="YES"
3- I booted the system.
Right after calling "startx" and entering KDE I got (as usual) the error message
that the sound server could not find the file /dev/dsp.
As I read in the manual configuring a custom kernel with sound support is just a
second method and can be used alternatively. So I am not sure if I really have
to do something in the kernel or not, since the first efforts did not help!
Could someone please tell me what I still have to do? I would of course be very
thankful for more precise advices.
Thanks in advance

Hi, Sia!
I'm taking the liberty of cc'ing this to a more appropriate forum.
For further diagnosis, what is the output of "uname -a" ??  The
instructions have changed recently, because the code changed
fairly recently, and the age of your installation might help determine
the solution to your problem.
I'm fairly sure I've used this card before

Re: some advice needed to considering to move my w2k machine into a freebsd workstation.

2004-10-26 Thread Frank Jahnke

I'd suggest leaving your Windows machine (and all the software you use)
in tact, and play with FreeBSD on the side until you are comfortable
enough with it to use it full time.  You may like it (most do), but you
may not.

There are two ways I would proceed.  One is to get a live FreeBSD CD
(Freesbie) and play around with it.  The other would be to make your
system dual-boot.  That is, you can select either FreeBSD or Windows at
boot time.  That way you can have the benefits of both environments
(though not at the same time). 

I'd recommend you buy a second hard drive -- 40 MB is fine to get going
-- and install FreeBSD on that.  Drives are cheap right now; I've seen
decent 40 GB drives for $30 or so.  Download the ISOs from FreeBSD.org
onto the new disk, and have at it!

You may find that you need to keep windows around, because as you
mention there are sites where you really need IE.  Otherwise, I find
there are no limitations on the FreeBSD desktop, though I'm not big into
multimedia.

FWIW, that's how I got started on FreeBSD -- an inexpensive secondary
disk on a PIII/dual boot.  I liked it well enough that when I put
together my dual Athlon workstation I used FreeBSD as the only OS.  I
like it.

I flirted with a syctl locking option with 5.2 (or 4.x). When one of the
logical processes used the calculation processer, the second logical
processor where locked. I turned this off. The result was that the two
logical processes started fighting with eachother to who was first in
using the calculation processer. Causing a decrease in effency and a
increase in CPU temp. I don't remeber any other options. I've stiked
with GENERIC ather this.

Depends on the workload.  Remember that hyperthreading isn't "a secret
extra CPU hiding inside the same chip"; if you try and execute an
instruction on the second virtual CPU that cannot be executed on the
silicon because the first virtual CPU is using that part of the
silicon (or other reasons), the virtual CPU will block.  If you're
spending most of your time blocked in this way because of the
computational workload you're running, performance is going to be
worse than the !HT case due to OS overheads.

Useing two different firewall doesn't cause a problem. I've used ipfw
and ipf (different from pf, i think) combined. This never caused any
problem. I feel its unlikly if it would cause a problem in this case.

Apache2 & Apache 1.3 Conf File Differences? (Was: Apache 2 -"Directory index forbidden by rule")

I recently upgraded my existing Apache 1.3x server to Apache 2.0.52.

could easily read my docs from what ever computer I was using at the

was built-in to Apache (mod_autoindex?) to provide a directory listing 
when I accessed the Document Root.

But since upgrading, I get a 403 error and this appears in my log file:
Directory index forbidden by rule: /usr/local/share/doc/
I've Googled on the subject and found others with the same problem.  
The general recommendation is to make sure that "Options Indexes" is 
defined for the directory.  I've done this and restarted Apache but it 
has not helped.  Here's the relevant section of httpd.conf:

Can anyone point out my error?
Thanks,

I am still having this problem and can't figure it out.  Because I 
upgraded from 1.3x to 2, I wonder if there's something in my httpd.conf 
that needs to be added?  Does anyone else that has upgraded recall

Re: something: DESTDIR is not a user settable variable

I'm hitting regularly the same problem with various ports that deinstall
properly during upgrades but won't reinstall. I had the case with firefox
this morning.
The typical message is:

   firefox-1.0.1.p_4: DESTDIR is not a user settable variable
   *** Error code 1
Can anyone tell me where the message is coming from and how to
overcome it? I've tried to grep "user settable" but did not find it...
For what it's worth, here is my uname -a:

No, it is not defined there. The funny bit in this story is that it does

True, but the crazy proprietary formats are still important because you lose

the same way as you lose information when you convert a C source file into

There's more than just pictures in browsers, if you want pictures to be
printed by a professional printer then those printers usually like to have

Hello,

It means the kernel will not attempt to load the snd_sbc module at boot.

This may be due to a number of reasons.  Among them are the snd_sbc driver
not being the right driver for your hardware and KDE/X not being
configured with the correct device.

The first step is to provide copies of the outputs of the commands `uname
-a`, `dmesg` and `kldstat`.

Did you first try loading snd.ko (4.x) or snd_driver.ko (5.x) and see
which driver finds your hardware?

Typically you don't need to recompile the kernel just to add something
like a sound driver.  Loading the module works just fine.  Just to be
sure, please provide a copy of your kernel configuration file so it can be
checked.

Normally, the port committers make changes to the ports tree all of the

ports tree caught up and avoid making sweeping changes just before a  
new version of the OS is released.

See: http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
During a ports freeze, changes need to be approved by portmgr.

One of the major reasons that i decided to try out the 'bsds'  is
because of the security.  I'm having a hard time however figuring out

Note that you are free to update ports manually.  Try looking for a PR  
containing the changes to update the port(s) you care about, or perhaps  
by doing the work yourself.

I looked around on the lists for this but didn't see it and it seems
like a fairly big deal if security issues arise during a freeze.

some advice needed to considering to move my w2k machine into a freebsd workstation.

2004-10-26 Thread Jian Guang Xu

My current system follows:
AMD Athlon 1600+, 1 Gigabytes RAM, 40 Giga harddrive, GeForce 2 with
32 Mb, AC97 Onboard Audio Adaptor, D-Link DFE-538TX.

The system got follow applications:
W2K Workstation Professional runs very smooth right now.
Firefox 1.0 for most of the web surfing. IE occasionally but nessary
for some of the website I need to go to due to personally reason.
Thunderbird for me email and newsgroup reading.
VMWare to testing FreeBSD.
ACT! 2005 as a CRM software(personal organizor as well) but I'm trying
to move to a  internet application via www.freecrm.com
OpenOffice currently runs in my system with MS Office removed.
Acrobat 5.0 for form editing(Occasionally)
MusicMatch for online radio (all the time)
Realplayer for DVD/Movie(Occasionally)
I have online conference calls using MS Media Player Plugin which is
very important for me.
Zonealarm as my firewall, Norton Antirus.
I'm using a home network connected to Rogers High Speed via DHCP
protocol, another machine is a XP laptop.

My job is in Marketing field so I do need the system to be robust and
more productivity. At the same time, I have the dream to play OS
around and hack into the system at my spare time. To be honest, I'm
pretty happy with my current system with all the feature I specified.

Is there anybody could point out a way to play FreeBSD around and at
the same time, I could perform my job easily? As I said, I need the
Media Player plug in a lot, and any suggestion for a CRM software
under BSD would be much appreciated.

I gotta be very careful to change a system.

I thank you for reading my nonsense post and hoping that  if somebody
could give me some advice.

Network speed mysteries

2004-10-26 Thread Andrew P.

Dear friends
I have just stumbled upon a phenomena, which I cannot believe is real, 
though I reproduced it easily. Some days ago I have set up a 
FreeBSD-4.10 file-server. I have a small network in my room (3 boxes, 
100Mbps). I uploaded some files from my Windows 2000 PC, using the 
latest version of FileZilla client. The speed was pretty constant at 
9.5Mbytes/s. Two days ago I switched to Windows XP SP2, reinstalled all 
the software and was taken aback when I tried to upload some more files 
and the speed never exceeded 3.5Mb/s. I browsed and googled for some 
hours, made dozens of assumptions, tried to reconfigure both Windows and 
FreeBSD - but it was all in vain.

Just an hour ago I decided to rebuild the file-server kernel - and it 
takes time to build it there, as it's an old Celeron box with little 
RAM. By coincidence, some files were being uploaded just when I entered 
"make buildkernel ...". I looked at FileZilla windows, expecting to see 
the speed drop - but WOW! - the speed was at 7Mbytes/s!!! It then 
hovered around 6.5-9Mbytes/s while the kernel was being built! I waited 
for some minutes until the kernel was finally built - and the upload 
speed dropped back to 2.5-3.5Mb/s. I couldn't believe it - and I still 
can't - so I waited and built a kernel once more - with all the same 
effects on speed! It's worth to mention, that when I was installing the 
built kernel, the speed didn't change from usual 3Mb/s.

Please let me know what the heck is going on - or just what you think 
about it.

Best regards,
Andrew P.

The fact that Cisco does something wrong doesn't somehow make it right for

I don't see you supporting UNIX because "it's harder to use, so it must be

..

# uname -a

# export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvsroot
# export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/rsh
# mkdir cvs-test; cd cvs-test
# cvs co project/alpha/section1

When I modify a file at section1 level, and issue cvs commit, the Template

following lines at the top of log:

However, if I modify a file in the subdirecotry of section1 (say for example 
subdir1), the Template file is not in the CVS directory anymore at that 
level. 

How comes the CVS/Template is only copies at top level but not 
subdirectories levels at the cvs checkout time? Btw, other files in CVS are 
copied at all levels but Template which is only at top-level.

I think they both have it wrong. If you want to donate your code to 
the general community, make it available with no restrictions. The
entire concept of "here, use my crappy code but don't make any
money off of it" is totally lame. If someone takes it and doesn't 
give away the changes it doesn't diminish the original contribution. 
Its still there. 

Finishing a product is what has value. Anyone can write code that does
this or that. Making it into something that someone is willing to pay 
for is what has value. And the more products that are available, the
better off the community is. Even if they're not free. You still have 
the choice of paying for it or not. And you still have the original
contribution to change as you please.

the same can be said of Cisco based networks. Everything works "better"

So who was the one who said either was "easy"?

I said it takes a higher
talent level to generally administer a un*x box than a windows box. I don't
think that just because you can think of something thats not easy to do
in windows makes any point at all. The fact that a un*x guy had
to be called in to solve the problem says alot about the type of talent that
is required to do most things that windows techs do.

I agree with you. However, it wasn't I that posed that question. :)

2004-10-26 Thread Danny MacMillan

I will preface my reply with the following disclaimer:  I am no
lawyer.  However as it's clear that you're not either, it makes
little practical difference.

There is no violation.  The copyright holder is the licensor, not the
licensee.  No one needs a license to use the materials to which she
holds the copyright.  A license is used to grant (usually limited)
rights to people who do not hold the copyright.  The copyright holder,
by definition, has those rights and does not need them to be assigned.

No license changes the copyright; see below.

This is nonsense.  Copyright assignment and licensing are separate and
discrete.  You certainly can assign your copyright to the Regents if you
wish.  This has no doubt been done.  However, you can assign your
copyright to anyone you wish, regardless of the license that is used.
In fact, the instant you assign your copyright you no longer have the
right to decide under what license the copyrighted material will be
provided (if at all), although when assigning to the Regents "BSD" is
a pretty safe bet.  Furthermore, licensing material under the BSD
license does not imply that the copyright will be transferred to
the Regents.  The copyright holder is identified at the top of the
BSD license; this information is important as it identifies the
licensor, one party to the agreement represented by the license.
For material you wrote, you are the copyright holder unless and until
you explicitly assign the copyright to another entity, or you're under
some agreement with someone (with your employer, for example) that
causes the copyright for the product of your work to belong to them.
Identifying the Regents as the copyright holder at the top of a BSD
license pertaining to material you wrote probably is legally
sufficient to transfer the copyright to them, but you are not
obligated to identify them as the copyright holder or relinquish
your copyright just to use the BSD license.

I refer you to the license itself:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

Note the placeholder for .

I fully expect you to argue that a BSD license that does not identify
the Regents of the University of California is not "the real live
BSD license".  I would disagree.  By what criteria can an authentic
BSD license be distinguished from lesser imitations?  I doubt that
whether the Regents are the licensor are not is a criteria in common
use -- see above web site, which is about as authoritative a
reference as exists for free and open source licenses.  It's also
instructive to peruse the source code for the ostensibly BSD-licensed
FreeBSD operating system and see who holds the copyright.

Most of the rest of your arguments, being based on this fallacy, is
invalid.  To the extent that your arguments against the GPL are
valid, they are equally valid arguments against the BSD license.

Ah, so your point is that people should transfer their copyrights to an
organization dedicated to keeping the code free.  Well, maybe they should,
but that has nothing to do with which license is used.

interim port versions

2004-10-26 Thread Aaron P. Martinez


I'm new to the bsd's, came from linux and i'm having a bit of difficulty
figuring out the general philosophy.

One of the major reasons that i decided to try out the 'bsds'  is
because of the security.  I'm having a hard time however figuring out
how security issues in the ports get dealt with when there is a port
freeze, like now.  The best example i can think of is gaim...(i almost
didn't recheck the port on the 4.10 tree, it's now mysteriously up to
date, phew.)

..slightly altered next paragraph
lets say i found out there is a msn slp buffer overflow (like currently)
and i wanted to protect myselfso i cvsuped my ports tree and then
wanted to portupgrade... problem is...since it's a port freeze...up
until a few days ago it's still at 0.82  not the 1.02 that is out now, I
watched it and never saw version 1.00 or 1.01.  Are the ports frozen
_except_for_security_fixes or am i missing something. 


I looked around on the lists for this but didn't see it and it seems
like a fairly big deal if security issues arise during a freeze.  

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

Is anyone running Novells eDirectory on Freebsd

2004-10-26 Thread Paul Hillen

Hi everyone,

 

I want to know if anyone out there is running Novell's eDirectory on FreeBSD
and if so, what OS version.

 

I am at moving from an NT Domain and would like to look into eDirectory, but
I really don't like Linux as much as FreeBSD.

 

I know FreeBSD has Linux compatibility, but I need to know if anyone is
actually using it.

 

Thanks in advance

Paul

So who was the one who said either was "easy"? 

I said it takes a higher 
talent level to generally administer a un*x box than a windows box. I don't 
think that just because you can think of something thats not easy to do
in windows makes any point at all. The fact that a un*x guy had

There is a sysctl variable which can be set to zero and would stop the

Those messages are probably technically correct. Since both NIC's are
on the same wire, they are both going to see the same ARP
request/responses. I assume this error is just indicating that there
is already an ARP entry for 192.168.1.100 which indicates that it can
be found via fxp0 and it just saw an ARP response indicating that it
is also available via xl0 - so which should it use?  It's a bit
confusing to a machine which has to select the correct NIC to send
traffic out.

What is the goal of all this? Typically for multipe IP's on the same
subnet you would just use an alias - I assume that's not suitable in
this case but am not sure why.

Those messages are probably technically correct. Since both NIC's are
on the same wire, they are both going to see the same ARP
request/responses. I assume this error is just indicating that there
is already an ARP entry for 192.168.1.100 which indicates that it can
be found via fxp0 and it just saw an ARP response indicating that it
is also available via xl0 - so which should it use?  It's a bit
confusing to a machine which has to select the correct NIC to send
traffic out.

What is the goal of all this? Typically for multipe IP's on the same
subnet you would just use an alias - I assume that's not suitable in
this case but am not sure why.

Rats!  I started fresh with my 5.2 CD then upgraded to
(I thought) RELENG_5, but ended up building 4.whatever.
On my third try i rebuilt using an explicit _5_3 and
got 5.3-RELEASE #2.  tHere are fewer than 30 ports on
my devel box.  Would you recommend I portupgrade -fa everything??

you're a gentleman and a scholar, Kris.

PS:  FWIW, my upgrade script did a portclean to get rid
 of old libs, &c.

I get these messages in my logs (quite a few) 

So I am not sure what is wrong. I noticed in another thread that freebsd
does not allow ips from the same netmask so how does the blundering windows
do it?

maybe i'm missing something obvious here, but why can't you just
assign 192.168.1.1 as your default route then assign each of those
ip's thier respective nic's?

I've given up on emacs, save for use in vi-mode: [x]emacs
demands at least two hands:)   Beside, my fingers know vi
automatically.  --That said, isn't/wasn't there some kind 
of IDE that let the user choose different toolsets??--  
(For example, I might be happy with an integrated [n]vi 
or vim + ctags + gdb)  I've tried the KDE flavor of IDE
back while running SuSE but it's editor gave me fits;
kept hitting ESC and the [jk] keys, &c.  

In the end, I think the IDE concept might not do that
much for productivity; it may be more along thr 
'neat-toys' category.  But I'll withhold my biases until
I learn differently.  If there is no IDE that lets you
pick-and-choose, is there any that uses vi* as its
default?

Nope.
If you would do that, FreeBSD wouldn't know on what interface it should send 
packets destined for a PC on that subnet. (That's why ifconfig refuses to set 
the ip address).

If you want to be able to switch between LAN and WLAN, you'll have to turn off 
one of the interfaces...
If you want to run over WLAN, type :
ifconfig xl0 down
ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.150 etc etc etc...

If you want to switch back to LAN, type :
ifconfig ath0 down
ifconfig xl0 up

You can assign the same ip address to multiple interfaces, but you can only 
have one of the "up" at a time.

good luck,
Daan

2 Network Cards & 2 IP's?

2004-10-26 Thread Adam Seniuk

Hello;

 

I am wondering how to get 2 Different network cards to have 2 Different IP's
but I want to have both ips on the same ip block.

 

For example:

192.168.1.100 on NIC 1

192.168.1.101 on NIC 2

Gateway 192.168.1.1 

 

Not sure on how to set it up properly. I would appreciate any help or tips
people have on this subject. and yes I have googled for it but none have
this scenario :D

 

Sincerely,

Are you referring to reconfiguring the IMC with:

"Reroute incoming SMTP mail", then in Routing Restrictions,  selecting
"Hosts and Clients with these IP addresses" and leaving the data fields
blank?

If that's the method that you're talking about, it's only "non-documented"
within MS's help files. It's plastered all over the web. Do a search on
google for "MS exchange 5.5 open relay" and just look at the info that you
get. If that's the issue that you're discussing, someone in your admin
section just cost the company the price for the trouble ticket for no reason
because they didn't bother to look for it.

People in the type of network that I'm in, only use Windows for applications
that require it's use. Telerad, Centricity, and various other medical
software that requires MSSQL. All other applications here on my network are
using FreeBSD from 4.9 to 5.3.7 or AIX.

Oh, yes.. I've had my share of issues with Windows. Just as I've had with
every other OS that I've used. I also know how to use login restrictions to
force users out of the network so that the backups can occur to reduce the
amount of open file skips as well.

Clue phone? How about letting me smack you in the forhead with a clue bat.
You speak about companies having other agendas. Yes, that's true. Pray tell,
do answer the inevitable quesiton. How is it that companies, corporations
and other big business are able to make that profit?

Do they force their wares onto the unsuspecting public and force us to
purchase them?

Do they force you to use the aftershave you use to make you smell better to
the little woman?

Do they force upon you the car that you drive, the furniture in your home,
the home you live in, is that forced upon you by anyone? Wait for it, wait
for it. Clue bat time.

You, as an individual, chose to own / use those items. Just as everyone else
did. Your desire to make your life easier and more comfortable for yourself
and you

It appears in the process list (and works) when I run the above manually!
I'll reply to myself here.
I just now created /boot.config with -h, rebooted, and all is well. With 
the added bonus of it being a serial console at the boot loader part. I 
am impressed :)

Can't seem to get it to work with anything other than 9600 (even though 
the process list shows std.115200), but it gives me some sort of of 
display to work with during the boot process atleast :)

Thought so..that's a 4.x binary.  You can't mix 4.x binaries and 5.x

Dmesg output confusion/printer problems

2004-10-26 Thread MrBluez

Sorry to be impatient but I'm really curious about this stuff.  I'm trying
to get my printer (HP LaserJet 4L) to function in Free BSD 5.2.1.  I'm
following the handbook's instructions verbatim because I can't reliably get
the printer to print (even plain text).  The handbook isn't appears to be
outdated & is unclear about how to troubleshoot at best.  But that's another
point, :-).  

 

Per section 9.3.1.2.1 Kernel Configuration in the handbook, I ran a dmesg
command & received the doubled response.  The command & responses are listed
below. 

 

% grep ppc2 /var/run/dmesg.boot

 

ppc2 port 0x778-0x77b,0x378-0x37f irq 7 on acpi0

ppc2: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode

ppbus2:  on ppc2

 

ppc2 port 0x778-0x77b,0x378-0x37f irq 7 on acpi0

ppc2: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode

ppbus2:  on ppc2

 

Question 1) Why am I getting a doubled response with the dmesg query & if it
isn't normal behavior for "dmesg" to double the reply, how do I make it go
away?  

Question 2) Assuming that I get question 1 resolved, how do I get on the
right track to figure out what's up with the printing issue?  I don't want
to install CUPS or any other spooler program until I have a handle on what's
happening with the lpd.

Hi,
The init process can watch daemon and respawn died ones on linux with

know this can be done also as the man page says:
Init can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running, automatically
restarting them if they die. In this case, the first field in the
ttys(5) file must not reference the path to a configured device
node and
will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its command line.
This is similar to the facility offered in the AT&T System V UNIX
/etc/inittab.
but no matter how i tweak the ttys file i cannot make it to work.
Does any FreeeBSD guru can help me make the step from linux complete as
i cannot find help about this anywhere (the freeBSD admin book do not
speak of it and google is silent about freeBSD specific ttys "inittab
like" settings).
A simple exemple will do the trick, basicaly i need this to keep spamd,
clamd running (with better and safer way than using a while 1 loop on
the shell).
Best regards,

Best to post this to freebsd-questions.

you are right this is a bsd newby question ;)

Re: Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP more

ok, well this system has a 3com, xl0 holding an ip of

Does this mean that I need to have each interface
having an IP on a different subnet?
maybe I could change the mask on the xl0 to
255.255.248.0 and it might work? 

I wanted to have the wireless card on the same subnet
as the rest of the LAN and keep the wired card up and
running just for testing before permanently migrating
to this wireless card(i'm using encrypted protocols
locally so wep weaknesses should not be an issue).  

is there a way to have both cards be on the same
subnet and have the same subnet mask?

Unable to mount ufs drive after changing drive order

2004-10-26 Thread Ryan Crumley

I have a FreeBSD 4.9 machine (i386) with 3 hard drives in it. I
installed a 4th hard drive and booted the system however this changed
the drive numbers (expected since I rearranged their connection order)
and fstab refered to the wrong drives so the only drive that was able
to be mounted was the root drive. [see the end of the message for
dmesg output, fdisk output, and fstab info]

I looked at my dmesg output and figured out the mapping between the
old drive numbers and the new numbers and tried issueing the command:

mount -t ufs /dev/ad5s1c /mnt 

(this drive used to be ad6 but is now ad5, fstab reads /dev/ad6s1c)

and instead of mounting the hard drive on /mnt I get the following error:

mount: /dev/ad5s1c: Device not configured

So I thought maybe I am confused and this drive is not ad5, maybe its
ad6 or ad7... So I tried the same mount command and got:

mount: /dev/ad6s1c: Operation not permitted
mount: /dev/ad7s1c: Operation not permitted

(Either ad5 or ad6 is blank, it is hard for me to tell for sure since
they are both the same model of hard drive however I am pretty sure
its ad6 that is blank. ad5 and ad7 were both mountable before
installing the new hard drive).

Next I tried:

cd /dev
rm ad5* ad6* ad7*
sh MAKEDEV ad5 ad6 ad7

and then tried mounting the drives as described above with the same results. 

At this point I am not sure what to do. Can someone point me in the
right direction?


Here is my hardware configuration:
Computer:
k6-3 400mghz
296mb of ram
HighPoint HPT370 Raid Controller (motherboard doesn't support ata100
drives so I have a pci card that all the drives plug into)

ide connection:
all drives are set to cable select and connected to the raid
controller card via two cables (so on each channel there is a master
and a slave).

here is some output from dmesg:

atapci1:  port 0xb800-0xb8ff,0xb400-0xb403,0
xb000-0xb007,0xac00-0xac03,0xa800-0xa807 irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ata2: at 0xa800 on atapci1
ata3: at 0xb000 on atapci1
[...]
ad4: 156334MB  [317632/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
ad5: 190782MB  [387621/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA100
ad6: 190782MB  [387621/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100
ad7: 76319MB  [155061/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA100
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad4s2a

ad4 = root hard drive
ad5 = old ad6
ad6 = blank hard drive
ad7 = old ad5

It is possible that I have ad5 and ad6 confused since they are the
same model of drive however I am pretty sure ad6 is the blank one.

ifconfig says this if you already have another interface with an ip-address in 
the same range. I think you have another interface on your system with an 
192.168.2.X ip address. Remove the address from the other interface and try 
again.

Check out Fujitsu's P-series notebooks.  10.2" screen with a max resolution
of 1280x768.  I've got a 2040 with 5.2.1 running on it.  XFree86 is a
no-brainer to setup.  The new P7000/P7000D are pretty well loaded, compact
and light, even with the long-life battery.

I should think so.
In fact, I am pretty sure you can do far more with Perl than with PHP...
There are so many modules for perl, I think there's hardly anything short of
writing a compiler or operating system that cannot be done in perl (and 
possibly even that)...

Or are you referring to web development specifically? In that regard, I 
think the two are pretty
close in terms of what they allow you to do.
PHP has a strong plus since it's embeddable in HTML, and a strong minus, 
because I did not
get a debugger to work with it...
I for one prefer Perl a lot, since it's really an all-round language 
whereas PHP was designed with
web development in mind; true, nowadays you can also write GUIs in PHP, 
but it wasn't meant to do
that...

However, I think - if you are in fact talking about web development - 
Perl vs. PHP is more a matter of taste
(or other circumstances) than a technical one.

Kind regards,
Benjamin

Yes and no.  A single program (for example, mozilla plus plugins) must
be entirely either native AMD64 or ix86, not mixed.  So you'd need a
mozilla (and any needed shared libraries) built for ix86.

RE: [How To] Setting up a http server

2004-10-26 Thread Olaf Stein

After installing apache and needed modules with ports the configuration is
not too much different than on a linux or *nix system (main difference is
the location off the config files)

Unfortunately I do not know any good howto`s that cover every single step or

I guess you will need to find several ones

[How To] Setting up a http server

2004-10-26 Thread Clay

Hi,

 

I would like to know if there are any good How To's out there,
on setting up a FreeBSD 4.10 server to act as a web server. I am new to
FreeBSD but if the steps are for the most part clear I can get it. Something
that goes from the installation of FreeBSD and how to set it up properly to
how to download and configure things if using the command line and not
X-Windows or similar.

Nonsense, if you ask me.  For many reasons:

a. Windows doesn't work nicely even for small networks most of the time.

It's not the size of the network that matters.  It's the nature of the
network.  Homogeneous, Windows-only networks will usually work somehow;
not optimally, mind you, but they can be coerced into working.
Heterogeneous networking environments, with many different types and
versions of operating systems, are not so easy to use from Windows.

b. The small-network culture has nothing to do with documentation.

Undocumented stuff is undocumented because Microsoft either didn't have the
time to document them all (rushing a new release out to gather a few more
billion dollars) or -- more importantly -- they don't _want_ them
documented, to have an edge over the rest of the software developers.

I mostly agree.  Then, one day, eventually and also pretty unavoidably,
freedom suddenly matters.

That's about the same time that Windows starts to feel uncomfortable, with
all its undocumented "lock-in" stuff whose only purpose is not to make
computing easier but to make more money for Microsoft.  If it so happens
that some part of the every day experience of the average user is also made
easier, it's a happy coincidence in the Microsoft world; not the Ultimate
Goal(TM), but not unwelcome either ;-)

But this thread reminds me of far too many threads that I've seen this
topic discussed to death and beyond, some of them on this list too.  So
I'll stop writing.
