RE: re bittorrent

[Joseph H. Fry]

Not to mention, if there are enough clients hosting, then downloads can
often be faster.

Why?  Because partial downloads can be pulled from multiple sources.

I just downloaded the miniinst iso in under 15min at an average rate of
about 360KB/s from a pool of 10 servents (bittorrent server/clients).
The only way I could get it that fast with FTP is if I used getright or
someother ftp client that allows for splitting a download across
multiple FTP servers.

Now of course the real benefit comes just after a release when everyone
and their uncle is downloading a copy and the FTP servers are extra
busy.  When things slow down a bit it's not as big a benefit.

SSHD Broken After Update

[Steven Adams]

Hi,

I updated my server to 5.3 from 5.2.1 yesterday.

I did encounter a few problem but managed to get by them by editing a few
make files etc..

All is working except sshd.

When I login it get this error in my logs

reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for IP failed - possible breakin
attempt!

Does anyone know what this means? Ive looked everywhere on google.com
without any luck :(

Thanks guys

Lets do the math...
you'll note that http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/ at this moment 
says there's been 1978 completed downloads.
Lets pick an arbitrary average size for each file downloaded: 388MB

388 * 1978 = 767.5GB
11/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:30PM: Now
11/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:00PM: Official availability of 5.3

27.5 Hours
767.5 / 27.5 = 27.9GB/h / 60 = 465MB/m / 60 = 7.75MB/s
- 

All of this data and bandwidth above has been shifted off the servers 
and onto the downloaders. This saves freebsd and its primary mirrors 
money, this is why I chose to download freebsd via bittorrent and why 
I'm going keep my bittorrent client open for others.

Also, to put this into terms of money, a fractional T3/DS3 line will 
cost around $7,000/Month.

Sorry, I fudged my terms up (MegaByte, Megabit)  7.75MB/s = 62Mb/s
That means you'd need a OC2 line (104Mb/s) and this is around $27,000/Month.

This looks like the install-target creates a recursive link. The original 
Makefile.in would create two different diectories, one to install the makedat 
binary and another one where it places a link to the makedat binary.   

Excerpt from Makefile.in:
[...]
scriptdir = $(pkgdatadir)/scripts
[...]
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
@INSTALL_MAKEDAT_TRUE@  $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
@INSTALL_MAKEDAT_TRUE@  $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(scriptdir)

@INSTALL_MAKEDAT_TRUE@  $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) makedat/makedat 
$(DESTDIR)$(scriptdir)/makedat
[...]
@INSTALL_MAKEDAT_TRUE@  $(LN_S) $(scriptdir)/makedat 
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/makedat

Our patch in the ports files/patch-Makefile.in modifies the variable scriptdir 
to $(bindir). As results "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)" and "$(DESTDIR)$(scriptdir)" 
are both set to "/usr/local/bin" and the ln command fails.

- -scriptdir = $(pkgdatadir)/scripts
+scriptdir = $(bindir)

Because link and link-target are the same, I would comment out the respective 
line in Makefile.in and try again. Maybe there are some more symbolic links, 
which are targeted by this issue.  
 
Cheers,
ch

Vinum 1TB filesystem limit questions

[matt virus]

Hi All -
with some help from people on this list, i managed to get vinum and 
raid5 all figured out!

I had 4 * 160gb raid5 array running perfectly.  When i ventured home 
this past weekend, i found another ATA controller and figured I'd change 
my raid5 array to have 8 drives.

I cleaned the drives, reformatted and labeled to have a nice clean 
start, rewrote my config file and I get this:

--
2day# newfs -U -O2 /dev/vinum/raid5
/dev/vinum/raid5: 1094291.2MB (2241108324 sectors) block size 16384, 
fragment size 2048
using 5955 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 inodes.
with soft updates

newfs: can't read old UFS1 superblock: read error from block device: 
Invalid argument
---

After some reading, found out this is a pesky problem a lot of people 
are having.  Is there a solution for FBSD 5.2.1 running vinum or do I 
need to upgrade to 5.3 or some other release using geom-vinum?  Does 
anybody know (for sure) if geom-vinum works with 1TB< filesystems?

WORST case - i'll remove a drive and bump it down to under 1TB, but it 
seems like a waste.

Frank, that works perfectly. However, copying gdm.sh.sample as
gdm.sh so that "stop" will work also starts gdm on boot, and I 
don't want that. 

However, I now see what gdm.sh is doing. The command, from that 
file, is 'killall -m gdm 2' and that is much simpler than running 
top, identifying the PID and then killing the gdm binary.  

Thanks for showing me the way!

Build maildrop from port

[Joe Kraft]

I'm trying to install maildrop from ports.  It will build and install
fine when doing the default build, but I want to include the userdb
support.  When I build with the WITH_USERDB=yes WITH_GDBM=yes knobs, it
seems to build OK but then won't install.  It gives this error:

/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
install  -o root -g wheel -m 555 makedat/makedat /usr/local/bin/makedat
install: /usr/local/bin/makedat: Too many levels of symbolic links
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/maildrop/work/maildrop-1.6.3.
*** Error code 1

I've tried updating ports and rebuilding, I've also tried rebuilding all
dependancies. 

Can anyone point me down the right path for this one?

Appreciate the help,
Joe.

Speak of the devil and he appears.  My 3 month old BEFSR41 puked a few
hours after I read your post.  In my case it seems to be related to very
high bandwidth utilization -- ~470KiB/s down and ~50KiB/s up while
grabbing 5.3-Release with bittorrent.  The upstream interface seems to
have totally cratered, passing no traffic.  It did this three times in a
row, and it didn't take hours to recur -- just about 10 minutes,
seemingly until the traffic built up to a substantial rate again.  The
first time, a reset did the trick, the next two I actually had to unplug
the router and plug it back in.

I'm a little choked because the router is virtually brand new.  It
replaced a 3 year old Hawking Technology PN9245F that worked like a
champ, aside from a couple of bad ports.

/etc/dhclient.conf syntax?

[Gerard Samuel]

I cant seem to get a custom version of /etc/resolv.conf to stick.
dhclient keeps overwriting it with data from my ISP's dhcp server.
This is what I have in /etc/dhclient.conf ->
interface "ed0" {
   supercede domain-name "trini0.org";
   prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
And for some reason, /etc/resolv.conf *always* comes back as ->
search some_name.attbi.com
nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz
nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz
Is there anyway to make /etc/resolv.conf stick??
Thanks

Try the NV driver. BTW which nvidia card?

Re: Trouble with X

[Damien Hull]

I've got X working now. Here's what I did.

1. put my Nvidia GeForce FX card back in 
2. had trouble with the nv driver so I switch to the vesa driver. No 3D
but it gives me 1024x768

I'm still having trouble with font's but I should be able to follow the
hand book. Maybe this time it will work.

Okay. This is all that is output to stderr:


No subnet declaration for dc0 (216.231.43.140).
** Ignoring requests on dc0.  If this is not what
   you want, please write a subnet declaration
   in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
   to which interface dc0 is attached. **

Sending on   Socket/fallback/fallback-net

I've seen this before.  What does the last line mean?
Or, how do I test this?  I've just tried ssh'ing
around.  Nothing to the screen.

contents of FreeBSD 5.2 CD#2

Hi all
I happened to observe that FreeBSD 5.3 CD2 is about 622MB. 
I am wondering if any additional packages have been included along with the
rescue disk.
Can anyone tell me what has been included to make that big (over 5.2.1's 220
MB rescue disk)?
Thanks

kernel panic in 5.3 whene compiling custom kernel.

[esmaeel pashapouri]

Hello list. Thanks for your time.
My apology if the format of my mail is not correct, I
am using a webmail program.
My hardware is an amd64 2.2 Gh proc. with 1Gb ddr mem
and 160 Gb ide hard drive and nvidia geforce FX5200XT
AGP with 128Mb ddr.
I have downloaded 5.3 RELEASE and burn it on cd and
did a clean install with out the x window on the 2nd
slice as window xp sits on the 1st slice.
Every things did install after few tries. Then I tried
to make a custom kernel to get the unwanted devices
out the way. everything up to the make part goes fine
the traditional way but some way through the make part
I get the kernel panic and the machine swithes back to
sc0 with the following error massage..

 Fatal trap 27: stack fault while in kernel mode

instruction pointer   = 0x8:0x803b6e12
stack pointer = 0x10:0x9791d420
fram pointer  = 0x10:0x0024c1b958
code segment  = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type
0x1b
  = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32
0,gran 1
processor eflags  = interrupt enabled, resume,
IOPL = 0
current process   = 4151 (cc1)
trap number   = 27
Panic : stack fault
Uptime : 3m 29s

here I have to cold boot to get in again.
I got the same error massage whene I tried to install
lynx from the port collection, but secound try went
trough and installed the lynx on the system.
If anyone can point me in  any direction to solve this
problem I'll be very gratefull.

thanks again for spending your time and reading this
mail

Here's what I have.
1. Onboard video
2. Works ok but only at 800x600
3. Text is bad
Can someone tell me how to setup X in freebsd? Under Linux it just
works.
 

As some have mentioned, the handbook's got most of what you
need...however, tweaking sometimes improves things.
As for your specific information:
1.  "Onboard video" ... OK.  What chipset?  Check the output of dmesg(8)
and let us know ... that would likely affect the chipset/driver information
that you need in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
2.  "Works ok but only at 800x600" ...  OK.  So maybe things aren't *quite*
so bad?  You need to have proper information about your horizontal sync
and vertical refresh in the above-referenced file, and maybe even modelines,
which is a subject beyond me.  I have X running at 1200x1024 without 'em,
though...
Of course, you also need something like:
   SubSection "Display"
   Depth 24
   Modes "1280x1024"
   Modes "1600x1200"
   Modes "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
If all you have is a default XF86Config, I'm rather surprised you even
get 800x600.
3.  "Text is bad" ... Hmm.  Did you read the handbook section on fonts?
'Been a long time since I did this one ... but it's in there, and should 
give
you pretty good results.

Re: Completely remove MySQL?

[Michael Stassen]

Well, that depends on how you install phpmyadmin.  A standard method is 
simply to download, unzip, and untar the distribution.  If you do that on 
top of your old copy, or indeed, delete the old copy first, you will end up 
with the default config.inc.php.  That is why I said "may replace".  It is 
good that your port won't do that, but considering the context of "how do I 
remove everything so that the old IP address is not referenced?", I chose 
not to make assumptions about how he would reinstall.

No, it won't trash an existing configuration.  Nor will it while I
remain the port maintainer.

I'm running the ISC dhcp server, as I mentioned in my message, and
it's fairly up-to-date, but I don't think the exact version matters

Hey when the machine boots and you see the demon logo hit 6 and enter 'set

   Hi there,



   Work recently purchased a Dell gx280. I orignally installed 5.2.1 and
   had problems with drivers. It was kindly mentioned that i should
   install 5.3 to help with these problems. I was also informed about
   problems with usb keyboards on boot/startup.



   Ive tried to have a look on google and couldn't come up with any
   solutions. I have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall
   doesn't respond at all, on any of the options i choose to boot from.
   The BIOS doesn't have an option for keyboard for me to make changes.
   dmesg output before the sysinstall screen says "atkdb0
   [GIANT-LOCKED]".



   I dont know how to set " set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"" if i cant
   access the keyboard, and the OS isn't installed for me to make any
   changes.



   apologies for my ignorance and confusion.

The option C displays total cpu states or usage rather than indiviual cpus on a

Your guess is right.  The C column is only enabled on SMP machines, and it
displays the last cpu this process has run on.  This field is only shown by
top(1) AFAICT and not by ps(1), so we should probably do two things:

a. Update the top(1) manpage -- adding a description of what C displays

b. Add a similar column to ps(1), so that top & ps output are as similar as
possible.

I'll see if I can update both during the following days :-)

RE: ipfw allowing browser only

[Ara]

So you only want to allow web access (http) and nothing else? The problem
comes when the user is smart enough to get around the proxy access and use
the proxy setting on messenger to use http traffic bypassing deny rule. 
Create deny rules based on this which might help

This is simply to block all on the network from using any port
except 80. I want to block Messenger. If it starts running on port 80
then I am told I can block it via squid/dansguardian.

Hi there,
Well, I suppose one of the main reasons is to keep pressure off the ftp 
servers: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-October/060205.html
Also it's being released as a torrent on an experimental basis:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-November/042511.html
The community were interested in it coming out this way too:

I see no way to pass extra options to mdmfs from `/etc/rc.d/tmp'.  One
way to do this is to modify /etc/rc.d/tmp locally, but this will create
maintenance work for every mergemaster run you do in the future.
> Can anyone offer some advice - thanks :)
The following patch is against CURRENT.  Does this look like a good thing to
you?  If it does, we could ask our rc.d gurus for their approval to commit it
to the tree.
Then, all you'd have to do to pass special options to the tmpmfs mount would
be to add something like this to your `rc.conf':
tmpoptions="noexec,nosuid,nodev,nosymfollow"

Distributed sources, this way FTP servers don't get as hammered if parts
of the download are coming from multiple sources.

I looked around and I think you are right on the port number,
but it still does not run. Here is my list now;

01150 allow tcp from any to 192.168.1.6 53
01152 allow tcp from any to 192.168.1.6 80
01153 allow udp from any to 192.168.1.6 80

01200 deny ip from any to 192.168.1.6
65535 allow ip from any to any

Now 192.168.1.6 is my client. I wonder if I should be entering this
"192.168.1.6 to any" rather than "any to 192.168.1.6" 

I have also cleared my ipnat rules to try and simplify here.

Something very basic is not working here.

This is simply to block all on the network from using any port
except 80. I want to block Messenger. If it starts running on port 80
then I am told I can block it via squid/dansguardian.

shutdown -r Hangs After Upgrading to 4.10

[Drew Tomlinson]

I've been happily using 4.9-RELEASE-p4 since April 2004.  Then, 
I decided to upgrade to 4.10-RELEASE-p3 to fix the pthreads problem 
since I added an external tape drive to the QLogic SCSI card 
that was already in my system.

Anyway, after upgrading, I experienced the same shutdown hanging 
symptoms as described in this message:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016933.html 

In reading the thread, it seems there was an infinite loop problem in 
the ahc driver code that was fixed later by Justin Gibbs.  So I tried 
upgrading to 4-STABLE to see if the problem was fixed there.  But I 
still have the same symptoms.

I also see these "odd" processes in my ps output:
root34  0.0  0.0   212   40  ??  Is   10:19PM   0:00.00 adjkerntz

I find them "odd" because the system was powered off/on at 6:19AM after 
the machine was shutdown at about 10:08PM.  (I tried waiting overnight 
to see if it would actually finish it's shutdown.)

And finally, I have one vinum volume that has problems.  However after 
the system comes up, I can remove and re-create the volume and all of my 
data is intact.

I'm assuming that if I get the shutdown issue resolved, these other 
problems will heal themselves.  I'd appreciate any advice you might have 
on how to get my system running on 4.10.  My dmesg output follows.  
Please let me know if there's any other info I can provide.

Thanks,
Drew

I see no way to pass extra options to mdmfs from `/etc/rc.d/tmp'.  One
way to do this is to modify /etc/rc.d/tmp locally, but this will create
maintenance work for every mergemaster run you do in the future.

> Can anyone offer some advice - thanks :)

The following patch is against CURRENT.  Does this look like a good thing to
you?  If it does, we could ask our rc.d gurus for their approval to commit it
to the tree.

Then, all you'd have to do to pass special options to the tmpmfs mount would
be to add something like this to your `rc.conf':

tmpoptions="noexec,nosuid,nodev,nosymfollow"

This is good for most of the new users to FreeBSD, who will probably
feel more confident with the precompiled packages their release CD-ROM
includes, at least until they get reasonably acquainted with the proper
CVSup/build "magic" to upgrade their system from the sources.

> disc2 -> more packages, a live file system

Extra packages, that don't fit in the first ISO are handy for the same group
of users mentioned above.  The live filesystem is a pretty good "rescue disk"
too, that includes a lot of tools.  The advantages of having a live disk with
a complete, working installation of the same system installed on your hard
disk are so many I can't list them all in a single post; some of them are:

oYou can easily recover most configuration errors (i.e. a simple rc.conf
 typo), by booting into the rescue disk and mounting the installed system
 under /mnt.

oEditors, disk editing tools, documentation, pretty much everything you
 need to fix a great array of possible system errors are all there.

oNo reinstallation is needed to boot into a working FreeBSD system.

> miniinst  the basic install components, no third party apps

This is what I use most of the time.  It cuts down a lot of the download time
and still allows me to install a minimal base-system.

Then I can add the rest of the tools I need from ports, or I can upgrade to a
newer version using the sources and a CVSup mirror I have locally (which I
periodically burn to a CD-ROM disk).

> boot  the basics to boot, no install components, good for
>   testing your hardware

Very handy when all you need to do is to boot into a FreeBSD system using a
well-known, working kernel.  I usually keep a bootonly CD-ROM of a CURRENT
snapshot around my test systems, just in case a "smart" installer wipes out
my boot manager stuff ;-)

Subject: error installing 5.3-stable - WRITE_DMA

hi,

this weekend i decided to upgrade from a working installation of fbsd 4.10
to 5.3
instead of doing a binary or source upgrade, i decided instead to do a
complete reinstall.

after backing up my data and relevant config files, i booted onto the 5.3
disk1 and began the install.
all went well until it got to actually writing the data to the disk (ie.
extracting base into \ directory)
it gets to between 15% and 18% and then just hangs. 
looking on the other terminal i see the same error message just scrolling up

ad0: WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error  . blah

this will carry on for a *long* time until it gives up trying.


this never happended with 4.10 so i am quite puzzled. 

i googled for similar things and found some suggestions that the HDD might
be going, so i used a low-level disk checker from hitachi (drive is hitachi
80GB) but it came out blank - the disk is fine. (its also quite new - no
more than 6 months)
in the BIOS i tried various combinations of disabling UDMA and 32-bit access
and such things but with no luck.

i have an P4 2.6GHz, 1GB RAM on an ASRock PE-Pro HT motherboard with onboard
ata IDE controller.

any suggestions would be very gratefully accepted.

also, if you need more info on the machine, please let me know.

much thanks for your help

Re: Trouble with X

I'm reinstalling 4.10. I think I broke something trying to get X
working. As soon as I get data in the X logs I'll check them. 

I'm going to give frambuffer a try. Don't know if this will work but
I've seen it work well under Linux.

Ouch!

>ssh(1) will throw screaming hissy-fits.

While the "hayes" has been popular with computers for almost 30 years, I 
was sort of hoping that it would not make a difference on my personal 
computer. Having an email address assigned to my personal computer is a 
new experience for me. Each computer that I have ever had was named with 
a unique name that I assigned it. Laptops became my "traveler#" series. 
But I am referring to local computer names, not Internet addresses.

How do I name this thing is a way that will not effect my Internet access?
   Using the same Internet access service or location on a regular
   basis is not an option. This is a personal computer. Not a dumb
   teminal...
   X must be able to run, along with other functions.
Speaking of X,
>X.org and XFree86 are almost identical right now. Apart from a few
   small details (eg. the precise colour of blue text.) and the levels
   of support for some of the very latest graphics hardware, you
   probably aren't going to see much difference at all between the ways
   they behave.
I can get XFree86 up and running in just a few minutes. I haven't gotten 
Xorg to start up yet, and have reached a point where I want nothing to 
do with Xorg. I believe that the problems that I have with Xorg relates 
back to this naming function, and may be incompatible with my environment.

>X.org has also been chosen as the favoured X implementation by all
   of the Linux distros
I'm surprised at that since I have had Fedora Core 2 and Debian "Sarge" 
on this same laptop in the last couple of months. If it was using X.org, 
then I was transparent and I did not realize it.

A note on Linux:
   Fedora Core 2, from Red Hat, has migrated to automatic functions
   leaving manuel adjustments behind. I found that I needed those
   manual adjustments. It appears that those manual adjustment programs
   have become part of the Red Hat Enterprise software. And I am not up
   to spending $350 for the current version of Red Hat that I would need.
   Debian "Sarge" provides software for everything. There are 14 CDs in
   this set. I liked this distrobution. But it's too easy to mess up
   your current system by installing the wrong software.
   What does FreeBSD have that these Linux distrobutions do not have?
   All of the software for FreeBSD works, until you include Xorg, and
   there are manual ways of adjusting everything. (Plus FreeBSD will
   install from an external SCSI CD ROM.)
And I have really gotten off of the subject.
What can I do to get the computer named, and what naming convention 
should I use?
In reading your email, you suggest: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The email address listed here is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I also have [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or any address lloyd545220-(anthing)@yahoo.com (I would have to register

Should I simply use my real email address?
Would Yahoo get upset about that?
Would this address be accepted by the FreeBSD system?

Well, if this is your machine, and you've paid Netidentity.com for the

   traveler2.hayes.org has address 64.15.175.5

The mininst iso is a bit of a misnomer. It has everything in the base

X11 and all the extra  3rd party packages that are on disk1 (KDE, Gnome,

So if your only setting up a server then this is the ISO for you.

No, it won't trash an existing configuration.  Nor will it while I

In the phpMyAdmin config file, usually

/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php 

The FreeBSD port goes to some lengths to avoid removing or overwriting
that file if you've modified it at all.  Which is usually what people
prefer.

If you've already reinstalled everything, you can copy
config.inc.php.sample to config.inc.php to get the default
configuration file, and edit that to set up your new environment.

Cheers,

Matthew

I'm not sure there is much point in separating NFS from other traffic, 
since they typically travel in opposite directions. For example a file 
download will involve packets coming into a client from the router and 
back out to the  NFS server. Your NICs are full-duplex so the two types 
of traffic shouldn't get in each-others way very much.

X.org and XFree86 are almost identical right now.  Apart from a few
small details (eg. the precise colour of blue text.) and the levels of
support for some of the very latest graphics hardware, you probably
aren't going to see much difference at all between the ways they
behave.

It's not going to stay that way though: X.org are planning on
introducing a lot of new stuff much faster that XFree86 ever did --
but that's mostly because XFree86 development was glacially slow.
X.org has also been chosen as the favoured X implementation by all of
the Linux distros, FreeBSD (where it's standard in 5.x), NetBSD and
OpenBSD as well as big names like Sun, IBM and HP.  It's definitely
the way of the future.

Matthew

Re: Completely remove MySQL?

[Michael Stassen]

That's using a shotgun to kill a gnat.  The IP used by phpmyadmin is set in 
the config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin directory.  Just edit this file to 
change the old setting to the new value.  Problem solved.

Reinstalling mysql and php, on the other hand, will have no effect. 
Reinstalling phpmyadmin may replace config.inc.php with default settings, 
but you'd still have to edit it to have the correct settings, so you may as 
well just edit the one you already have.

The sendmail problem that were printed to stderr went away
after I created a new 5.3 sendmail.cf; with dhcpd problems,
mail can't get to my private servers so I have it re-routed
to ns1.thought.org.

I'll add the -d flag to my rc.conf; are you using the latest
version of the dhcp-server from ISC or something other?
I looked for a 'debug' flag on the man page and didn't see it.
What should I loook for in th logfile?  or will it be 
obvious :-)

FreeBSD release ISO purpose?

[Louis LeBlanc]

Hey folks.  I've been a FreeBSD user for a good while, and with the
5.3 release, I've been trying to figure out the details of each of the
release ISOs.  The Lehey book, the online handbook, release notes, and
whatnot never mentions the purpose of each.  The install instructions
simply say "insert the installation CD".  I've always assumed this referred
to disk1.  I've never needed to use disk2 in the install, so what's it
for?  What's the bootonly disk for?  What's the mininst disk for?
(I'm guessing it means minimum install)

Can anyone point me to the details if they exist online?

TIA
Lou

I can ssh *into* sage/ns1 from any of my 10/8 servers immediately.
However, on sage trying "% ssh tao" takes two minutes.  
Something times-out.  Also, on sage.thought.org, I can ping
anywhere.  On my internal servers, no; nothing reaches the 
outside world.

Hm, strange: dig ns1.thought.org worked yesterday.  Now, none
of my secondaries respond.  According to my logs, something
happened just before 01:00today.  My secondaries are at
telstra.net and secondary.com.  I use dnsreport.com to tell 
me if things are right.   They see what dig does... .


Same with dig and the IP's in my resolv.conf.  dig is wedged.
I've only rebooted past hour, tho.

It appears that Xorg won't configure correctly without it. Although I

If you describe the actual symptoms you're seeing, someone might be
able to help.
 

>Unless you're trying to have someone outside reach your machine (as

U, The computer with FBSD on it has not been connected to the
Internet since last winter, when it had Win 98SE on it. I'm a truck
driver who carries two computers in the truck with me, and seem to be
collecting more older computers at home in Wyoming. In the truck, I
always have one computer turned on. I get my loads over the Internet,
get most of my news over the Internet, keep truck records, do my legal
logbook, and keep in touch with my daughters who live in Europe, and
learn about FreeBSD all with a laptop computer. The fact of the matter
is that I can not even work without a working computer.
   

I can't even tell from that paragraph whether you want the FreeBSD
machine to be Internet-connected or not.  If you don't, then just pick
any old name for the machine (preferably with a non-existent top-level
domain), stick that name into rc.conf as 'hostname', and add it to
/etc/hosts as well (for 127.0.0.1).
E.g., 
rc.conf could have 
hostname="lloyd-freebsd.private"
and hosts could have
127.0.0.1		localhost lloyd-freebsd.private

 

Since many of the processes running on FreeBSD require a 'named'
computer, I need to know how to handle this. Otherwise, as it says in
"The Complete FreeBSD" book, there will be processes which will not
run, or else they will not run correctly on my computer. The answer to
this problem does not seemed to be addressed while using 'dhclient' in
any of the printed information that I could find.
   

If you're running DHCP, then you could just have dhclient set the
system name.  I do something like this on my own laptop, but I haven't
got access to it at the moment.  Basically I just had one of the
dhclient "hooks" scripts set the machine's hostname to whatever DHCP
had just assigned.  Something like:
if [ "x${new_host_name}" = "x" ] ; then
   hostname ${new_host_name}
fi
If you want to be able to go offline without rebooting, you would need
a little more tinkering -- probably an entry in pccard.conf resetting
your hostname when you remove the modem card would do that.
 


Do I want to connect this machine to the Internet? Yes, as a client.
Have I been able to connect this machine to the Internet using FreeBSD? No
   Conditions for Internet Access: WiFi 802.11 b or g wireless at
   different locations all across the USA. No regular access location
   or service, and no land line.
   Other considerations: External (CD-Burner-DVD Roms,  Hard Drives,
   Scanners, Printers, Cameras, Video - Audio - Multimedia Devices,
   Modems, WiFi cards, Port Adapters, Touch Tablets w/mice, Keyboards,
   mice, etc.)  These devices are all external from the laptops.
One problem or another always comes up. Right now, I'm dealing with this 
naming issue.

Xorg is a problem which seems to come under the heading of New 
Technology. I'll stick with XFree86.
Xorg is now off of this computer.

Hi Folks,

How does one completely remove MySQL from FreeBSD 4.9?

My router died, and upon replacement I switched to
static IP addresses on my local network.  Unfortunately,
When using phpMyAdmin to access a database, it
tries to access the database at the old IP.

I can easily recreate the database--as well easily
reinstall PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin--but how do I
remove everything so that the old IP address is

By the way, where is this IP address being stored?

Hi,

Maybe I've misunderstood this, but why do you need to remove MySQL?

Are you able to access the database from the command line? Are
phpmyadmin and MySQLd all running on the same machine?

I don't know what comes first, the redirect or the firewall, so maybe

5.3 problems

[steveb99]

I downloaded 5.3 and installed it a couple times last night and had
some problems. I was wondering if anyone else is having similar
problems.

First it is a while box computer, Intel PIII 800, 256MB PC133 RAM,
Intel 815 motherboard, 2 x 40GB IDE drives,  FBSD 5.2 on one drive and
installing 5.3 on the second drive.

Issues:
The installed didn't add 5.3 to the BSD boot manager it set it up to
only recognize 5.3.   

Not a real big deal but I setup the network during install, but after
install completes network is not configured.

Last is X isn't configured and now sure where to with the X.Org.
During install I do choose the X Kern Dev packages. During port
selection I made sure X package are selected and also WindowMaker the
WM I use.  X does get install but only the basic fvwm is working and
if you try to exit it won't.  To leave fvwm I have to hit
shift-alt-bksp combo to get X to exit.  Then I ran /stand/sysinstall
to configure X like I would in 5.2, but I don't see the X configure
anywhere.

Thought I might of done something wrong and reinstalled a couple time
and it was like what I described above each time. I've been look for
some doc on 5.3 to see where I going wrong, but not finding much, any
suggestions?

Re: Naming confusion

[Lloyd Hayes]

Thanks for the reply. I liked what you said, and it pretty much sums up 
what I've seen all across the UNIX world. BSD and Linux seem to be 
geared towards permanent locations and for regular repeated types of 
projects. Mobility seems to a available, but on a very limited scale. 
However, there are people out there doing just this. I would really like 
read about their experiences with problems and solutions.

As for using a Mac. I have always considered the Mac a superior machine, 
but their sales structure turns me off. They end up being too expensive. 
On my recommendation, my brother bought a Mac desktop. He like it so 
well that he bought a Mac laptop too. He's works as a Nuclear Analyst 
and a couple of years ago, he changed companies to work as head of 
department for a new company starting up. The people in the IT 
department are always dropping into his office to check his laptop. They 
check everyone's laptops which are used within the company. They are 
always wishing that the M$ operating laptops worked as well as his MAC.

I've considered putting Darwin on my computers, but from what I have 
read, there are not enough PC type drivers for it. What originally drew 
me to FreeBSD was that the Mac OS-X was based on FreeBSD.

But I have gotten side-tracked off of the subject.
If I read your answer right, I can put any name in here like 
"traveler2.hayes.org", and as long as it's connecting to the Internet 
and it's not a server connected from the Internet, it should be OK. Right?

With XFree86, it is an issue.
It appears that Xorg won't configure correctly without it. Although I 
won't swear that's the problem with Xorg.
   

One problem you will run into, with either flavour of X Windows, is to
do with the authentication mechanism.  X is designed to be network
transparent -- so I can run an X program somewhere else on the net and
have it put its windows etc. on my local desktop.  See xauth(1) for a
program you can use to manage access in that way.  The problem is that
the records xauth(1) keeps in ~/.Xauthority are based on the machine's
hostname -- and that includes connecting to the local desktop too, as
a degenerate case of 'across the network'.  So if your hostname
changes, suddenly you may well have to quit your current X session,
log out and log in again to reestablish those credentials.
There are other programs, like sendmail(8), ipfw(8), natd(8), which
will tend to have an adverse reaction to the hostname and IP number
changing out from beneath them unless very carefully configured.
Now, usually this doesn't pose too much of a problem as typically
dhclient(8) isn't configured to modify the hostname.  The trouble
happens when the authentication system tries to *verify* the host
name.  It does that by looking up the name in the DNS, which returns
one or more IP numbers.  Then it looks up those IP numbers, and counts
the name as verified if any of them return the original hostname.
[Well, there's a bit more to it than that involving various other DNS
record types, but that's the basic idea]
You can see that there are going to be problems with this if you're
moving between different connectivity providers:
   * Either you choose your own hostname and stick with it -- except
 that the IP number you get from the ISP won't resolve back to
 that hostname.  In this case you could use a 'dynamic dns' type
 service, as provided by eg. http://www.dyndns.org/ -- not
 recommending that serive in particular, just using it as an
 example.  However this is normally used by home users and
 precise timings of updates etc. may make it unsuitable for you.
 You'll have to experiment.
 Note that the hostname doesn't actually *have* to correspond to
 any of the IP numbers configured on any of the interfaces, but
 that most software will assume that it does unless configured
 otherwise.  And it can be quite tricky to configure some
 packages to cope with that sort of setup.
   * You accept the hostname that goes with the IP number dished out
 by the ISP temporarily.  That means logging out and back in
 again when you go on-line.  

 

I've been using my backup computer as a test bed for the various 
operating systems.  M$ has never been real reliable. But my virus 
software seems to be blocking viruses almost daily which are aimed at 
one Microsoft product or another. It has become apparent to me that any 
computer that I have which is connected to the Internet needs to be 
using non-M$ products. I had hoped to make a painless transfer to one of 
the Linux or BSD products, much as I did about 11 years ago when I

And you need a valid tag or his /usr/src will be wipped clean. I would never 
run a full release because security fixes are never added but RELENG_5_3 
would be all right.

".xinitrc" and ".xsession" and nothing showed up. I read in the FreeBSD 
handbook about creating ".xsessions". Following the exact directions 
listed, I got no such file or directory after:
echo "#!/bin/sh" > -/.xsession

This was version 5.3
Xorg is brand new, and there only seems to be a few lines of 
documentation concerning it. I'm new to this whole thing, and having a 
difficult time making sense of many things in the UNIX world. There is 
more documentation about version 5.2.1 then 5.3. I'm in the process of 
removing 5.3 and putting 5.2.1 back on here. And I think that I'll keep 
XFree86 on it.

I figured that starting over with FBSD 5.2.1 was a good idea, installing

I have the new docs downloaded from FreeBSD. "The FreeBSD Handbook" from
The FreeBSD Documentation Project,  and "Frequently Asked Questions"
from the same place. They give some information about Xorg.
Typing 'startx" gets me to a graphical screen similar to the setup
screen used in xorg -config. My only option was to hit
Ctrl-Alt-Back_Space to get out of it.
I then tried to use xdm -config.
I get to the point where it asks for name and password. This is
mentioned in the handbook. There is no security level set, so the system
is at it's default level. I'm logged in as root, so I type "root" and my
root password. It loops back to the same menu each time that I do this.
Any other input here just produces a wrong name. It won't accept a blank
input either.
   

Possibly you haven't entered an entry for your windowmanager in your .xinitrc 
or .xsession file. startx uses .xinitrc, xdm uses .xsession. 
'man xdm' explains which files are used by xdm and where they are located.
Look for errors listed in ~/.xsession-errors, if you use xdm. 

 

(At this point, I was looking for the author, a rope, and a tall tree.
My 2nd option was to send this email)
Is there a secret code to getting into Xorg and setting it up for Gnome?
   

An easy way to setup gnome (and other wm) is gdm:
# cp -p /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh
# /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start
After next reboot gdm will be started automatically. Gdm is part of the gnome 
(meta-)package.

I believe you can set a hint variable from the loader prompt.  The
defaults are:
hint.ed.0.at="isa"
hint.ed.0.disabled="1"

While reading the manual at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/device-hints.html 

it says ->
disabled: if set to 1 the device is disabled.
So that maybe my problem.
I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and report back... 
Ok.  setting
hint.ed.0.disabled="0"
hint.ed.0.port="0x300"
Solved my problem.
And as a side note, to make the change permanent, modify
/boot/device.hints for the ed0 driver (or I believe it can be
done via a custom kernel).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

Hello Gene,

See above suggestions.

Here is the procedure, taken from /usr/src/UPDATING. Also cvsup your 
ports and read /usr/ports/UPDATING. There are important things to 
do listed in both of them.

To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
 ---
 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

 
 
 make buildworld
 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
 
 
 /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom
 mergemaster -p
 make installworld
 mergemaster 
 

I hope this is a help and not a hinderance to you.

If sendmail is still failing to resolve names, then it sounds like
your named setup is *not* okay.  But you'd have to show us what the
symptoms are precisely in order for us to help figure it out.

For dhcpd, the answers are either in the dhcpd logs or could be if you
raised the verbosity.  I've been using the ISC server lately in a
development testbed, and I use the '-d' option to get the log
information sent directly to my terminal.

If you mean: can cvsup be stopped, and started again? the answer is yes 
it can.

If you mean that you started upgrading your source, but then decided 
against rebuilding, then the answer is that it doesn't matter that your 
source is inconsistent, until you build.

I can't even tell from that paragraph whether you want the FreeBSD
machine to be Internet-connected or not.  If you don't, then just pick
any old name for the machine (preferably with a non-existent top-level
domain), stick that name into rc.conf as 'hostname', and add it to
/etc/hosts as well (for 127.0.0.1).

E.g., 
 rc.conf could have 
hostname="lloyd-freebsd.private"
 and hosts could have
127.0.0.1   localhost lloyd-freebsd.private

If you're running DHCP, then you could just have dhclient set the
system name.  I do something like this on my own laptop, but I haven't
got access to it at the moment.  Basically I just had one of the
dhclient "hooks" scripts set the machine's hostname to whatever DHCP
had just assigned.  Something like:

if [ "x${new_host_name}" = "x" ] ; then
hostname ${new_host_name}
fi

If you want to be able to go offline without rebooting, you would need
a little more tinkering -- probably an entry in pccard.conf resetting
your hostname when you remove the modem card would do that.
