ipfilter error on 5.3
Hello, I'm getting a strange startup error from ipfilter on system boot. This is on a 5.3 box and happens whether i load ipfilter as a kld, i am not doing this i've found that method relies on having ipv6 enabled which i don't want, or loading it in to the kernel. I've added: options IPFILTER to the kernel, recompiled and rebooted. I then added: ipfilter_enable="YES" ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" and another reboot. Ipfilter starts logs, but immediately after i get logging enabled i get this: Enabling ipfilter. ioctl(SIOCIPFL6): Invalid argument Any suggestions? I don't know if this is a show stopper, if it's not loading, but i'd like toknow what this error is and get rid of it if possible. Thanks.

FreeBSD 5.3 with 4GB RAM - memory ignored
Hi. Our new x345 Server with 1 XEON 2.8GHz CPU (second one will be built in next week) has 4GB RAM. I see the following message while the system is booting: "131072 of memory aboce 4GB ignored" Well, i will use all the memory i paid for ;-), so what will do the trick to use all of the memory on that box?

firefox & thunderbird upgrade problem
Hello all, I upgraged thunderbird and firefox via portupgrade. Things kinda work ok, except I cannot modify preferences, and it doesn't see any of my old mail, which leads me to believe it doesn't like my .thunderbird and .mozilla directory hierarchy. All of the subdirectories and files in the .thunderbird tree are owned and writeable by the user, yet no modifications to the configuration (preferences) will write. The same goes for firefox. Can someone give me a clue as to what is going on? It behaves as if some directory is not writeable, but I sure can't find it.

BlackBox slow
I have an older ThinkPad notebook with FreeBSD 5.3. I use BlackBox window manager, which is great, but it takes it around 40 seconds to start up. TWM starts in 15 seconds and Gnome in 40 too.

Of course the original poster can choose to ignore the question if they don't want to answer. Microsoft makes it very clear to any of their vendors (Connexxion etc.) that those vendors must host on Windows. I think you would find the same attitude among Apple, Sun, and others. And if you think the responses here are bad you ought to try offering to host a Linux website in a Linux group on FreeBSD, you would be lucky to escape with any skin left. Note that the original poster took pains to explain that they were a hosting company since 1997. This explanation is irrelevant if all they wanted to do is to know the address to send money to. It seemed pretty clear to me that the offer was the usual "We're a hosting provider and you seem to have a busy website, we will host it for free for you in exchange for a link to us" Perhaps I am too cynical for you, but it so happens that I work at an ISP and we have made the same offer before to others. (Not to FreeBSD) This is very common in the industry in fact. His post was pretty close to what I've sent out myself before. I must hasten to add there's nothing wrong with quid pro quo among commercial hosting companies. Probably 3/4ths of the 501(c) organizations on the Internet are hosted for free due to these kinds of arraingements. Hell, look at us, we should talk - Silicon Breeze got a plug right on the front of the freebsd.org website, and there is a quid-pro-quo going on there. So his post really wasn't out of line, with the exception that he quite obviously didn't know what he was making his offer to. And as well, his post was not surprising - as if you search the donation pages, you will find that hosting is the one thing that is NOT listed in the want pages for donations!

So, when my laptop is done booting, my screen looks like this: /boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x3fbfc data=0x1c04+0x112c syms=[0x4+0x72f0+0x4+0x97c7 ] - FreeBSD/i386 (laptop.taborandtashell.net) (ttyv0) login: Also, nothing that would normally be displayed on ttyv0 via /dev/console (syslog stuff) is there. Booting with ACPI disabled does not help. The weird thing is that this didn't used to happen. Right before all of this started, I was trying to get my touch pad working and I: 1. ran /stand/sysinstall and played with mouse settings. 2. edited /etc/rc.conf 3. created /boot/device.hints (I tried removing device.hints, it didn't help) Here is /etc/rc.conf: sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" pccard_enable="YES" hostname="laptop.taborandtashell.net" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" moused_enable="YES" Here is /boot/devices.hints: hint.psm.0.at="atkbdc" hint.psm.0.irq="12" # the next line was added for touchpad hint.psm.0.flags="0x1000" dmesg shows: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: BSD equivalents of autoconf, automake, etc.
One of the reasons I have been asking this is I will be spearheading a side project at work to port a device driver (a library, really) from Win32 to Linux. I *really* don't want to use Linux to write this. Since it's really just going to be a shared library that talks to a serial port, most of the code will be straight C/C++, and I just need to worry about the serial port semantics. However, we will probably use a Linux box at work for development. I'd like to set up a platform-independent build environment so I can code/test/run this on my BSD laptop. Any suggestions on where to start? jm -- My other computer is your Windows box. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Try deleting everything, THEN creat your /, swap, /tmp, /var, and /usr in that order - just use the remaining space for your /usr/partition and see how big it comes out. It should be in the 65800MB range. Also, when you specify the size of a partition like the swap, use the GB unit (2G). I don't remember the details of why this might be better, but I've not had any problems creating partitions in excess of 65G.

Yep, that did work. I did not delete the swap partition before. After deleting all of the partitions I was able to create the table as intended.

Odd 'sudo' behavior with FreeBSD 4.10
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello: I've been able to replicate this on two separate machines, one with a clean install of 4.10 and one with an in-production upgrade from 4.7 to 4.10. In both cases it appears that using the 'sudo' command for any purpose, including downloading of files, moving of files, adding of users, etc. will sometimes fail due to the incorrect application of the UID and GID. As an example, I 'sudo wget http://whatever' and 'sudo tar -zxvf' the file and it will show up with a numeric UID/GID that doesn't match anything in the password file. If I 'su root' and do the same commands, everything works fine. Has anyone seen this and, if so, do you know of a workaround or fix? Thanks, Mike - -- Michael K.

Alternatively to the above settings, you can enable postfix to start with the other local services, for example, after your database server starts if you need it to be running for postfix. To do this, set in your rc.conf file: sendmail_enable="NONE" Then make the following symbolic link: cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d ln -s /usr/local/sbin/postfix postfix.sh Now, when I installed postfix at boot, it implemented the first version, including the periodic.conf changes not included in this snippet. The startup did not go as planned. I don't know why, I haven't studied the system startup process in 5.3. I was told by someone with much more experience with postfix that the second option is much more reliable, and should be preferred over the first. It certainly works in my case, but as always, YMMV. One thing of note, I did rebuild world without the noted make.conf entry, so maybe that overwrote the previously working postfix wrapper links with working sendmail stuff? Who knows? Either way, I have it working now. Thanks all.

Anyways any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Karim F. Ali Devign Labs Hi, Karim: I had a rather lengthy reply composed, but lost it. 4.4-BSD-lite was a seperate operating system that is over ten years old; sources from it were imported into FreeBSD 2.0 about 10 1/2 years ago; it's part of FreeBSD's rather dignified pedigree now Your best bet for obtaining the code would be via CVS or the CVS web interface, perhaps. As a matter of fact, with CVS you could recreate a FreeBSD 2.0 system if you so desired. However, you express an interest in writing wireless device drivers, so I think your interest would really be in the current kernel, instead of the old one. You might want to read the "hackers@" email list, the Developer's Handbook for documentation (link on the left at www.freebsd.org), and generally just get familiar with the Project (use it, close some PR's, etc??) in order to find out more from those who are closest to kernel development. As a matter of fact, maybe [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a list you'd want to look into. Certainly someone on arch- or hackers- would be better qualified to give an answer, and might have a better clue as to documentation. There are a number of lists that may have more "kernel developer" types on them; just keep in mind that they are busy folks, and be sure and do you homework before asking a question that is easily answered with Google, or common sense HTH, Kevin Kinsey ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

quotas on 5.3
Hello, Got a question on quotas. I've enabled them on /usr and /var filesystems by adding the userquota option to their options in fstab. This is after i recompiled my kernel with the QUOTA option in it and rebooted. I then added: enable_quotas="YES" check_quotas="NO" to /etc/rc.conf and again rebooted. According to the handbook quota files should be created automatically i don't have to touch any zero-length quota files. When the system came back up i checked /usr and /var for quota user files, i did not see them. Boot up messages indicate quota on /usr but again no quota file. Is this normal? Did i miss something?

The cdrecord manpage suggests this: To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run cdda2wav dev=2,0 -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav and then run cdrecord dev=2,0 -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav This will try to copy track indices and to read CD-Text information from disk.

best way to to a direct copy of audio cd
I would like to be able to use dd to grab a full, single iso image of an audio cd and then use cdrecord to burn that. I know I can do this under linux but for some reason I can't get it to work under fbsd. I am trying to grab the entire audio cd image using the following: dd if=/dev/acd0 conv=swab bs=2352 of=audio_cd.iso I have an ide cd but I've also set it up so that I can access it as if it's a scsi cdrom using /dev/cd0. However when I run the above command with /dev/cd0 I get the following error: dd: /dev/cd0: Invalid argument So the above command using dd and /dev/acd0 seems to work, it grabs what seems like the entire image off the audio cd. I then attempt to burn it using the following command: cdrecord -v -data audio_cd.iso And I get the following errors from that command: Track 01: 718 of 740 MB written (fifo 100%) [buf 99%] 4.2x.cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 2A 00 00 05 9C E6 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x [], Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x00 Qual 0x00 (no additional sense information) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.077s timeout 40s write track data: error after 753348608 bytes Sense Bytes: 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Writing time: 1249.053s Average write speed 4.1x.

pf/altq prioritisation (for ssh).

down when something is downloading.
I have:
altq on ath0 priq queue { default, ssh }

I'm pretty sure this ``works'' but I was really hoping for more.
Without the 5.3 miniinst ISO downloading a SSH connection is perfect (no

Maseed wrote: [SNIP] I have to point out in the above e-mail that the problem is not just confined to the 36GB Raptor, which might be a PATA drive with a Marvel chip to make it work with SATA drives, but it also plages *real* native SATA drives as well, since the 74GB Western Digital Raptor I have is a true SATA150 drive with TCQ. Correction, the 74GB Raptor is still not a pure or native SATA device, it still uses the marvell PATA-SATA converter chip. Its true that it supports TCQ but thats the same old way as the IBM deathstars used, and not directly comaprable to the new true SATA NCQ way of things. Anyhow, I am wondering if this issue has been resolved yet or not, either in FreeBSD-current or 5.3-RELEASE-px. I don't want to discard my current OS to install FreeBSD only to find out that the problem is still there. If any sort of error logs or dmesg output is required by a potential developer from this setup of mine, I'll go so far as to resize my partition and install FreeBSD 5.3 and provide them, but the reason why I'm hesitant in doing that is the fact that I run a web-server on my computer that cannot stay down for long, as some friends of mine depend on it.

I completed step one, my pccard slot works fine. I then plugged in my wireless card (Netgear WG311T supported by the ath(4) driver). My system said that no driver was configured for this card. I assume now I must configure my kernel as step 2 indicates but I am a little confused. Would I just add "device ath" to the kernel config file? Also, do I then have to create a device node?

account management pam_ldap+nss_ldap
Hello all, I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me or point me to the right place to find a solution to the following problem. I have a system (5.3-release) configured to do user authentication through pam and ldap using map_ldap.so and nss_ldap.so. Everything is fine with that configuration, I am able to login, ssh and ftp to the system using users configured only in ldap with no problem. What I'm looking for is a way to manage these accounts, I mean to temporarily disable (locking) an account or a group of accounts, like "pw lock username", set accounts expiration date and so on. I spent the last 2 days searching but found nothing, or maybe I was looking in wrong places? Please if someone did things like described above, help me. Actually, I'm most interested in disabling/enabling an ldap account/group without deleting it. I was trying to find a solution myself and have thought of following. To create an ldap schema file which will have an objectclass with the accountEnabled attribute (and maybe some others too). To include this objectclass for DNs containing users and somehow to create a filter in nss_ldap config file wich will do the filtering taking into account the accountEnabled flag. What do you think of this approach? I would appreciate any suggestions.

security run output question (GEOM: create disk)
Hello, Does anybody know what this means when I see this in a daily security run output?: locahost.local kernel log messages: GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc6b77d60 GEOM: create disk cd0 dp=0xc69a8600 I don't recall ever seeing this in my daily outputs, but my boss sent me an email with this and he wants to know what it means. If I do a 'dmesg' on my computer, I also get: GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc6b63160 GEOM: create disk cd0 dp=0xc6983e00 What does this mean, and what does it mean when it shows up in the security run output? Thanks for any info. -Duane ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I usually copy stuff from the infinite pool of examples that /usr/src can be. For building a library, I jump in /usr/src/lib/libfoo and skim through a couple of Makefiles. After a while, you'll get the hang of it and write all you need without looking at the `samples' :) I got so used to working in the bsd.*.mk paradigm, that when I had to build a Solaris kernel module for a system that uses GNU make, I wrote a make include called sunos.kmod.mk and then started writing in Solaris stuff like this: $ cat sunos/modules/foo/Makefile KMOD= foo SRCS= foo.c fooddi.c foobar.c include sunos.kmod.mk $ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Trying to install from ftp
It's in the modem, it's a speedstream 5200 which acts as a firewall, I do have port forwarding set up so I can ssh into it but not sure about ftp. On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 10:49:38 -0600, Conrad J.
