acpi laptop fan control
hello all, i'm hoping that someone here might have a suggestion for a longstanding and nagging little problem - my laptop fan /never/ shuts off. the machine is a Compal N30W, which is the OEM version of the Dell Inspiron 5000. i'm running 5.3 and have the latest BIOS. from what i've read, it is supposed to be a green fan, which means that it should adapt to the temperature of the machine. off when not needed and up through various speeds when required. i've noted at least two settings: 1. low, the constant (and irritating) whir and 2. high, when the temperature jumps during heavy use. i tried force a state change with sysctl, but as you can see, the change is denied: # sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active=0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 -> -1 # sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active=1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 -> -1 have also tried forcing a change through sysctl.conf (and loader.conf) then a reboot, but neither manages to change the state from -1. these are new features and the man pages only have so much to offer. hopefully, someone will have a suggestion. thanks for your time. cheers, epi -- > sysctl -a | grep -i acpi -- acpibatt 2 1K 1K2 16 acpidev59 2K 2K 59 32 acpisem18 2K 2K 18 64 acpitask 0 0K 1K64938 16,32 acpica 163587K 91K 904153 16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 kern.timecounter.hardware: ACPI-safe kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(800) ACPI-safe(1000) i8254(0) dummy(-100) debug.acpi.acpi_ca_version: 0x20040527 debug.acpi.semaphore_debug: 0 hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 1 hw.acpi.reset_video: 1 hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_max: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state: 8 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/0 C2/10 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C2 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage: 0.22% 99.77% hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 3330 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 3590 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 3880 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 3530 3470 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 hw.acpi.battery.life: 100 hw.acpi.battery.time: -1 hw.acpi.battery.state: 0 hw.acpi.battery.units: 2 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 hw.acpi.acline: 1 machdep.acpi_timer_freq: 3579545 machdep.acpi_root: 1012160 dev.acpi.0.%desc: COMPAL N30W dev.acpi.0.%driver: acpi dev.acpi_sysresource.0.%desc: System Resource dev.acpi_sysresource.0.%driver: acpi_sysresource dev.acpi_sysresource.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.MEM_ dev.acpi_sysresource.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C01 _UID=0 dev.acpi_sysresource.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_sysresource.1.%desc: System Resource dev.acpi_sysresource.1.%driver: acpi_sysresource dev.acpi_sysresource.1.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.PX40.MOTH dev.acpi_sysresource.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C02 _UID=0 dev.acpi_sysresource.1.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_ec.0.%desc: Embedded Controller: GPE 0x9 dev.acpi_ec.0.%driver: acpi_ec dev.acpi_ec.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.PX40.EC0_ dev.acpi_ec.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C09 _UID=0 dev.acpi_ec.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_timer.0.%desc: 24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz dev.acpi_timer.0.%driver: acpi_timer dev.acpi_timer.0.%location: unknown dev.acpi_timer.0.%pnpinfo: unknown dev.acpi_timer.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU (3 Cx states) dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_tz.0.%desc: Thermal Zone dev.acpi_tz.0.%driver: acpi_tz dev.acpi_tz.0.%location: handle=\_TZ_.THRM dev.acpi_tz.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.acpi_tz.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_lid.0.%desc: Control Method Lid Switch dev.acpi_lid.0.%driver: acpi_lid dev.acpi_lid.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.LID_ dev.acpi_lid.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C0D _UID=0 dev.acpi_lid.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_lid.0.wake: 1 dev.acpi_cmbat.0.%desc: Control Method Battery dev.acpi_cmbat.0.%driver: acpi_cmbat dev.acpi_cmbat.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.BAT0 dev.acpi_cmbat.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C0A _UID=1 dev.acpi_cmbat.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_cmbat.1.%desc: Control Method Battery dev.acpi_cmbat.1.%driver: acpi_cmbat dev.acpi_cmbat.1.%location: handle=\_SB_.BAT1 dev.acpi_cmbat.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C0A _UID=2 dev.acpi_cmbat.1.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_acad.0.%desc: AC Adapter dev.acpi_acad.0.%driver: acpi_acad dev.acpi_acad.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.AC__ dev.acpi_acad.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=ACPI0003 _UID=0 dev.acpi_acad.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.pcib.0.%desc: ACPI Host-PCI bridge dev.pcib.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.pcib.1.%desc: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge dev.pci.0.%desc: ACPI PCI bus dev.pci.1.%desc: ACPI PCI bus dev.acpi_button.0.%desc: Power Button dev.acpi_button.0.%driver: acpi_button dev.acpi_button.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PWRB dev.acpi_button.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0C0C _UID=0 dev.acpi_button.0

I have a SCSI controller installed in it, the IDE controller is disabled. This controller was unfortunately used a lot in Pentium 60/90/100 motherboards. To be honest the biggest problem with your post is that you didn't identify the make and model of machine or at least motherboard that you were working with. If for example you had said the motherboard was a "ASUS 123XYZABC456" then most anyone experienced here could have easily looked up the specs for the motherboard, saw it was a CMD640 job, and steered you to the FreeBSD 3.xx series which has support for this controller. (which by the way, supports it by basically destroying all the go-fast disk code in the disk driver, leaving you with a usable, but dog-slow, system) In any case FreeBSD 3.x is obsolete now of course, so it's no good exposed to the Internet (you can in fact, crash it by hitting it with a stock nessus probe) but it is fine for pooting around with behind your firewall. > > Thank you Brian, at least I know that there is people at the list, and > If I have not received any answers apart from Ted's, I have only two > ways of solving my problem: > > 1- install 4.10 and forget upgrading anymore. > 2- throw the pentium away > 3- install Debian again (it will mean that I have lost the fight) :-( . > 4) Disable the onboard IDE controller and install a SCSI controller and disk, or even one of the caching IDE controllers.

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE kernel boot problems
First the system specs:
* Motherboard: SuperMicro 370SED (manuf. in 2000; see [1])
* CPU: Intel Pentium III 933 MHz
* RAM: 384 MB (128 MB PC100; 256 MB PC133)
* network:
* Linksys LNE100TX Etherfast 10/100 (device dc0)
* Linksys LNE100TX Etherfast 10/100 (device dc1; unused for now)
* video: integrated
* storage:
* built-in primary IDE controller
* primary master: 24x CD-ROM (unknown manuf.)
* built-in secondary IDE controller: disabled in BIOS
* Maxtor Ultra/ATA 100 PCI IDE controller:
* primary master: Maxtor 80 GB ATA/133 DiamondMax Plus 9 (new)
using entire disk for FreeBSD slice; geometry is OK.
partitions:
ad4s1a150 MB /
ad4s1b768 MB swap
ad4s4d8 GB/var
ad4s1e7 GB/usr
ad4s1f 61 GB/milo (misc)
* primary slave: Maxtor 60 GB ATA/100 (DiamondMax Plus 60)
* secondary master: Maxtor 30 GB (DiamondMax VL40)
* secondary slave: none
Now for my problem:
If I install FreeBSD 4.10 from a miniinst CD-R on this system, it works great,
no problems.
If I install FreeBSD 5.3 from a miniinst CD-R on the same system with no
hardware changes, the CD boots up fine (no need to disable ACPI), it fails to
make it through the boot process; it just keeps rebooting. More on that in a
sec.
It also fails to install if all of the following are true:
- partitions were set up already from a previous install;
- in the slice editor I just re-entered the mount points
(they come up as asterisks each time sysinstall is run...
I assume that's normal?)
- the newfs flag is NOT set on each partition
Under these circumstances, the install process freezes at the first fsck_ffs
operation ("Doing fsck_ffs -y /mnt/dev/ad4s1f" which is my /milo partition)
...and no key combos can get out of it. I thought it maybe just took a while
but after 30 minutes I decided it was dead.
OK, anyway, so if I set newfs on the partitions, then the base distribution
installs OK. I can set up the network and root user password, enable SSH and
inetd, and then let it boot...
BSP CPU.Microcode OK
Searching for Boot Record from CDROM..Not Found
Searching for Boot Record from Floppy..Not Found
Searching for Boot Record from SCSI..Not Found
...and then I get a stack dump that I can't copy here because it disappears as
the system automatically reboots right away.
If I press a key during the boot, before /boot/loader runs, I can enter
0:ad(0,a) /boot/kernel/kernel -p
The result is a rapidly twirling "-" that then slows and then freezes. A cold
reboot is then needed. Same effect when using "-sv" or "-C".
I have also tried putting in a different drive (an old 5 GB Seagate instead of
the 80 GB Maxtor) and installing to that. For some reason, it doesn't
automatically reboot after printing the kernel stack dump, but otherwise
there's no change in behavior.
I tried using an old 5 GB Seagate drive instead of the Maxtor 80 GB. I tried
using a different drive cable. I tried disconnecting all drives other than the
boot drive. I have tried setting the partition active and not modifying the
MBR. I have also tried using UFS1 instead of UFS2 on all partitions. I have
tried using the FreeBSD boot loader. No difference in any case. Twirl twirl
twirl freeze.
Help?
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry if I seemed rude. Not at all! I'm sure I have better things to do than get overly sensitive when someone brings a firm hand to straighten me out - especially when I really *am* wrong and just can't seem to interpret the data in front of my nose. It's not like you were being insulting, so no worries :) Anyway, as promised, I changed the xorg.conf setting in my card setup as follows (Sorry it's so late): Option "NvAGP" "2" and restarted Xorg. Now, I have this: # sysctl hw.nvidia hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x1f004302 hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: freebsd (agp.ko) hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 8x hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: enabled hw.nvidia.version: NVIDIA FreeBSD x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-6113 Mon Aug 2 16:08:32 PDT 2004 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableVia4x: 0 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableALiAGP: 0 hw.nvidia.registry.NvAGP: 3 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPSBA: 0 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPFW: 0 hw.nvidia.registry.SoftEDIDs: 1 hw.nvidia.registry.Mobile: 4294967295 hw.nvidia.registry.ResmanDebugLevel: 4294967295 hw.nvidia.registry.FlatPanelMode: 0 hw.nvidia.cards.0.model: GeForce FX 5200 hw.nvidia.cards.0.irq: 16 hw.nvidia.cards.0.vbios: 04.34.20.22.bf hw.nvidia.cards.0.type: AGP Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like I really AM using AGP now, and at the full 8x acceleration. You know, it does look like Firefox is rendering images a little faster now - ever so slightly. Switching Fvwm pages seems to render windows a good bit faster. Most noticeable when switching from an empty page (no windows) into one with Firefox running. Switching Fvwm desktops doesn't seem much faster than before - don't get me wrong, it beats the pixels off my old system, but not much faster than before turning agp on. Of course, it's rendering a 1560x1024 wallpaper, so . . . There are still the EnableVia4x, EnableALiAGP, EnableAGPSBA, and EnableAGPFW settings that appear to be off (0). Not sure what these are yet; I wonder if they're mentioned in the Linux doc. I wonder if the nvidia-settings port will tweak these or if I have to have the NV AGPGART working to get them on - assuming I want them on . . . On top of that, I noticed that the agp.card.fw is "supported" but the status is "disabled". I wonder what's up with that? It's probably not important, but I also noticed the FlatPanelMode setting is 0, even though both my monitors are flat panels - probably because they're both VGA plugs, and "FlatPanel" actually means Digital Video Interface (DVI). Looks like the agp.ko support does work for some NVIDIA boards, just not all of them. Well, it'll be the weekend before I can give the NVidia AGPGART driver a go because I'll have to rebuild the kernel without the agp device, and then only if the boss (the weekend boss) gives me time to play - honeydo list is getting long. If I can get to it, I'll post those results too. Thanks again Kenneth, for setting me right with this.

Hi, I'm afraid about having find a freebsd 5X security issue. We have recently upgraded one gateway from 4.10 to 5.3... Following network used: [ISP]--xl1--[FW01]-xl0--em0--[SR01] | |--fxp0--em0--[SR02] On fw01, we have one jail. So fw01 is configured as a bridge on xl1,xl0,fxp0. Services works (before and after upgrade). On 4.10, we used IPFilter as firewall and for network traffic accounting. Since upgrade, INCOMING traffic accounting does not work anymore (OUTGOING working fine)... Thinking this can be a ipfilter issue, and because we are planning to change for great OpenBSD pf, we have try to do accounting with pf... but same behaviour occurs (tests have be done with big files). From/to inetfw01jailsr01sr02 Internet- ok ok KO KO Fw01ok - ok ok ok Jailok ok - ok ok Sr01KO* ok ok - KO Sr02KO* ok ok KO - * with pf enabled, scp connexion going "stalled" very quickly (stop between 100 and 300 Kb of traffic) Worst thing, the "default rule" accounting (any to any) does not report "unreported" traffic... feels like rules are not processed. So I deciding to make another test with pf. Adding "block in quick proto tcp from any to [jail_port] port smtp"; Testing: works fine. But we the same rule with the sr01 as destination host, IT DOESN'T WORK: from internet, fw01 or sr02, we can connect to the tcp port ! It's not pf related, because, same behaviour occurs with IPF Details fw01: running FreeBSD 5.3, GENERIC kernel, with modules = acpi, ipl, bridge, nullfs and pf. Sr01: FreeBSD 5.2.1, custom kernel Sr02: FreeBSD 5.3, GENERIC kernel pf.conf set loginterface fxp1 jail=**IP** sr01=**IP** sr02=**IP** #block in quick proto tcp from any to $sr01 port smtp pass quick from any to $jail keep state label 0 pass quick from $jail to any keep state label 1 pass quick from any to $sr02 keep state label 6 pass quick from $sr02 to any keep state label 7 pass quick from any to $sr01 keep state label 10 pass quick from $sr01 to any keep state label 11 pass all Seems to be bridge freebsd 5.3 support related...

A technical question: I have an old NEC computer (c. 1997) running 5.3-RELEASE with 48M of RAM. Getting a new computer isn't an option right now, but I would like to get as much out of my memory as possible. My /boot/kernel/kernel file is about 3M, and from the initial boot: real memory = 50331648 (48 MB) avail memory = 43896832 (41 MB) it appears this kernel takes up about 7M of memory with one screen saver kld loaded.

Problems logging w/ IPF on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE
Hello all i recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 and am so far extremely pleased with it. I read the section in the handbook that discussed setting up IPF w/ FreeBSD 5.x, and also how to turn on logging and such. Well IPF works perfectly, however my logging is NOT going where it's supposed to. I used the same files the tutorial did, that is: /var/log/ipfilter.log etc... I only "log" for the "block" rules, however the data that's supposed to be written to my log file is NOT being written there at all. My messages seem to be written to: /var/log/security and /var/log/messages instead of /var/log/ipfilter.log. The important thing is i found where things are being logged, however i was so stoked to get everything setup and running, then this problem. Now it's just a matter of principle and seeing where i went wrong. I offer the following list of configuration settings, and information about my current setup and system. If anyone needs more information please ask i will be more than happy to provide it. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure it's something very silly i've done and am just overlooking. Thanks in advance all. FMorales... System: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE AMD Athlon XP 1600+ 512MB RAM -- Alright lets run down the list, first things first. I decided -- to recompile my kernel w/ the needed options to actually build -- IPF etc.. into the kernel. I used a simple config named "Test" -- here is the output showing the needed 'options' are there: bash-2.05b$ cat /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/Test | grep "IPFILTER" | head -3 options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK -- How i built, and installed the kernel were as follows: bash-2.05b$ cd /usr/src bash-2.05b$ make buildkernel KERNCONF=Test bash-2.05b$ make installkernel KERNCONF=Test -- After which i rebooted, and everything went ok. -- Next we make sure we're running the correct kernel: bash-2.05b$ uname -i Test -- Lets make sure our log file exists: bash-2.05b$ ls -la /var/log/ipfil* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 27 14:29 /var/log/ipfilter.log -- Ok lets be sure we added the needed options to /etc/rc.conf : bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep "ip" ipfilter_enable="YES" ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" ipmon_enable="YES" ipmon_flags="-Ds" -- Lets make sure we have the correct values in /etc/syslog.conf: bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/syslog.conf | grep "local" local0.*/var/log/ipfilter.log -- This entry is the FIRST one in /etc/syslog.conf. (NOTE: Using -- local0.* OR Local0.* has no effect on the outcome) -- We also told it to rotate our logs everyday at midnight: bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/newsyslog.conf | grep "ipfilter" /var/log/ipfilter.log 600 15*$D0 JN Ok all config looked ok. Next i remembered to restart syslogd. I first did it with: kill -HUP after getting a valid pid. I have ALSO rebooted several times just incase, no dice. Next i read the syslogd manpage and restarted syslogd using: syslogd -s -v -v to get verbose logging. As i said before it DOES log to both /var/log/security and /var/log/messages Now the output from a blocked packet was this: (I block telnet both ways so when i try to telnet this is what gets written) Nov 29 17:47:01 altf2o ipmon[177]: 17:47:00.419095 rl0 @0:19 b x.x.x.x,62902 -> z.z.z.z,23 So it's apparent "security.*" in /etc/syslog.conf is picking it up, but i'm not sure why if it should be comming in to 'syslogd' as "local0.*" according to the Handbook. (Note: The output in BOTH /var/log/security and /var/log/messages is identical) Lastely we check 'ipmon' to be sure it's started and with the correct options: bash-2.05b$ ps -aux | grep "ipmon" | head -1 root 177 0.0 0.3 1856 1400 ?? Ss 5:52PM 0:00.01 ipmon -Ds *whew* That's it, hopefully that's enough for someone to spot my (i'm sure silly) mistake.

Once you reach the single-user shell prompt, do this: mount -u / (changes root filesystem from read-only to read/write) mount -a (attempts to mount any other filesystems in /etc/fstab) If any filesystem fails to mount, run "fsck -y" on it, then try mounting it again. > "mount -a" to attempt mounting all filesystems.

Correct Way to Update the Ports
I am still not sure that I understand this entire ports concept. I, like others I would assume, have found the time that 'portsdb -Uu' takes to run to completion unacceptable. Would I be correct in assuming that I could therefore use the following combination of commands and attain the same results? 1) cvsup ports-supfile 2) make fetchindex 3) pkgdb -Fu 4) portupgrade -aDDPRruv I am not clear about this. I have always run the 'portsdb -Uu' command after the 'pkgdb -Fu' program. Thanks!

After all, mergemaster is just piping the file through "more" (or less; not sure which). Mergemaster's already existing "-i" switch tells it to automatically install any files that don't already exist in the destination directory. To do as you suggest, though, and simply automatically install *everything* would defeat the whole purpose of mergemaster. There are occasions where, due to some new construct or whatever, a large number of files require updating (usually under /etc/rc.d). In that case, it often is easier to simply delete all the existing files under /etc/rc.d and then run mergemaster -i to automatically install the new versions. When such a need arises, it will usually be mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING (you *do* read that before updating, don't you?). :-) HTH -- Conrad J.

No, from the console everything is fine. It is when I use sh within an

Pressing the ( key erases the character before the cursor when using sh

OK, check your ~ directory for TERM settings in either .shrc or
.profile, might be setting something a little different. If you're
using sh as your login shell, one or the other of those files is
getting read, (I'm a tad lazy to RTFM ATM to figure which one
is *first*), and its possible that it is being set there (the default
.profile, for example, sets $TERM to "cons25". Surely
you could fix the problem there, if that is what is actually
happening. Whatever it is, hope it's easy :-D

"mount -a" to attempt mounting all filesystems. Use "fsck -y" on the ones mount refuses to do. These days "background fsck" usually applies automatically meanwhile one gets to use the filesystems instantly. Just for fun you can type "mount" by itself at any time to list mounted filesystems and some interesting properties such as R/W and softupdates. Manually you could remount root with "mount /" to make it R/W. Then "mount /usr" so as to have vi, which will complain (but still function) about /var not being mounted and therefore no backup copy for crash recovery.

ServRAID 5i and DLT
Hello All, I've searched for this on google and list archives without success.. I have on IBM xSeries 235, ServRAID 5i adapter, 3 disks on channel 0 and a Benchmark DLT tape on channel 1. The adapter bios shows one logical drive and one "other" (probably the tape). I've installed FreeBSD 5.3, the GENERIC kernel can see this adapter (ips), dmesg | grep ips shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] kernel]# dmesg | grep ips ips0: mem 0xf400-0xf7ff irq 22 at device 3.0 on pci5 ips0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ips0: adapter type: ServeRAID 5i II (sarasota) ips0: logical drives: 1 ips0: Logical Drive 0: RAID5 sectors: 286744576, state OK ipsd0: on ips0 ipsd0: Logical Drive (140012MB) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ipsd0s1a But it don't recognize any tapes, there's no "nsa?" output on dmesg, but a bios utility from ibm (pc doctor) shows Benchmark on the second channel. I've made some tests with Red Hat AS3 and it shows Benchmark while booting.. IBM identifies this unit as 40/80 GB HH DLTVS Internal Tape Drive. The adapter utility don't show any special configuration.. I have another server with one HP DLT unit that is recognized as BENCHMARK on FreeBSD 4.10, so I don't think this is a tape type problem.. does FreeBSD support this tape on this adapter?

limiting ssh login attempts by ip
I've noticed a marked increase in dictionary attacks against sshd lately -- tens or even hundreds of connection attempts from the same IP address within a short timespan. I wrote a script that creates firewall rules to drop packets from IPs with more than n login failures over the last 10 minutes, but it's a half-measure -- in the minute it takes for cron to get to it, an attacking script can try a lot of different passwords, even with MaxStartups set low. How do you protect your servers from this kind of attack?

From nvidia's readme: Similar to the NVIDIA Linux Driver Set, the user can decide if the NVIDIA driver should use its internal AGP GART driver or if it should rely on an OS provided AGP GART driver with the "NvAGP" XFree86 config file option: - Option "NvAGP" "0" Disable AGP - Option "NvAGP" "1" Use NVIDIA's AGP GART Driver - Option "NvAGP" "2" Use the OS AGP GART driver (agp.ko) - Option "NvAGP" "3" Attempt "2", fall back to "1" If you want to use the OS's AGP driver, you'll have NvAGP set to 2, you have it set to 0, which means NO agp at all. I stand corrected. I'll try setting it to 2 when I get home this evening. The video on my machine is still fairly responsive with the AGP turned off as well, and several games are playable as well, but that doesn't mean AGP is on. Your system most definitely has AGP turned off... and I'm willing to bet that if you set NvAGP to 2 in order to use the OS's agp, you'd either crash, or it just wouldn't work. I don't think it will crash. IIRC, before I explicitly turned AGP off, I was getting a message saying that the NVidia AGP was failing, and it was falling back to the native AGP. I'll try a few different settings, and I'll rebuild the drivers with the NVidia AGP enabled if the native driver doesn't work. The real kicker is that you have to rebuild the darn kernel if you want to disable the native AGP driver . . .

Re: NVidia driver not using AGP?
Quoting Louis LeBlanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On 11/29/04 05:16 PM, Kenneth Culver sat at the `puter and typed: Quoting Louis LeBlanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The xorg.conf card section is: > Section "Device" > Identifier "NV TwinView" > VendorName "nVidia Corporation" > Driver "nvidia" > # update this with the PCI id of your card.

No, it turns off the NVidia AGP driver: Wrong. From nvidia's readme: Similar to the NVIDIA Linux Driver Set, the user can decide if the NVIDIA driver should use its internal AGP GART driver or if it should rely on an OS provided AGP GART driver with the "NvAGP" XFree86 config file option: - Option "NvAGP" "0" Disable AGP - Option "NvAGP" "1" Use NVIDIA's AGP GART Driver - Option "NvAGP" "2" Use the OS AGP GART driver (agp.ko) - Option "NvAGP" "3" Attempt "2", fall back to "1" If you want to use the OS's AGP driver, you'll have NvAGP set to 2, you have it set to 0, which means NO agp at all. # sysctl dev.agp dev.agp.0.%desc: Intel 82875P host to AGP bridge dev.agp.0.%driver: agp dev.agp.0.%location: slot=0 function=0 dev.agp.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x2578 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x0157 class=0x06 dev.agp.0.%parent: pci0 The FreeBSD agp device is still active.

My video is working quite well with the FreeBSD AGP device. I've never worked with a system that had more responsive video, and that's using the twinview feature to run two monitors. Makes me want to work from home all the time, since my work desktop is a pokey old 440Mhz hacked together piece of junk that was built 5 years ago. Just because NVidia wrote their own AGP driver doesn't mean every one of their cards must have it to function well. I believe it is mentioned in the linux readme that some cards are better off with the AGP driver that comes with the OS. I know I read something to that affect somewhere. The video on my machine is still fairly responsive with the AGP turned off as well, and several games are playable as well, but that doesn't mean AGP is on. Your system most definitely has AGP turned off... and I'm willing to bet that if you set NvAGP to 2 in order to use the OS's agp, you'd either crash, or it just wouldn't work.

(Speaking as someone who's missed too many >scrounging opportunities, here.) Dear Brian: Thanks for answering. I mainly use my Athlon 1.2 GHz computer, but I have an ethernet link with the old Pentium (which us situated at another room in my house) just to test and learn about networks and OSes. I have been playing with Debian Linux and I am a satisfied user, but I would like to test the well known FreeBSD. I wanted to test the "solid rocks" that they claim, and I am sure that it is. Never had a problem with Linux in this old machine, and even older ones that I have tested. I ordered the four cdrom discs distribution and was nervous waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime I was reading the FreeBSD documentation to be prepared to install it as soon as disc arrived. The discs arrived, I intalled them at the athlon in a few minutes, and I had a wonderful fvwm desktop working quickly. I tested some ports downloading and compiling, everything was perfect. It works!. I went to the old computer to repeat the same successfull install :-( . I am a novice in FreeBSD and I was lost and disappointed with this unexpected booting failure. I am a boy that likes to solve the problems till the end. I do not like to abandon at the first attempt, so I said to me:" Ramiro, do not abandon and investigate it further!" ;-) I was reading docs hard during 3 days, and my only oportunity was this mailing-list. I hoped that some gurus will solve my problem, mut only Ted answered. > Speaking for myself, I often will hold my peace if I feel that someone >else has adequately answered the question; I'll only throw in an >additional contribution if I feel it's necessary, that is, either the >first to respond has left something out or they've stated something I >think is incorrect or, at least, not appropriate to the OP's query.

Thank you Brian, at least I know that there is people at the list, and If I have not received any answers apart from Ted's, I have only two ways of solving my problem: 1- install 4.10 and forget upgrading anymore. 2- throw the pentium away 3- install Debian again (it will mean that I have lost the fight) :-( . > > As an aside, when you reply to or forward e-mail, especially to a >list, it's usually considered better form(because it keeps thoughts >flowing in the right direction) to only include what's relevant to your >reply(especially if the replied-to message is long), and to include >your comments AFTER the text you're replying to.

If you want to install FreeBSD via FTP, one method is to get the installation floppies from the site. I'm assuming you have a Microsoft Windows computer. If not, these instructions would have to be changed somewhat. Point your browser or other FTP tool at (note that this is for the i386, or "PC compatible" architecture)... ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.3-RELEASE/floppies From that folder, grab "boot.flp", "kern1.flp", "kern2.flp", and "README.TXT". The README.TXT file describes the process of creating the floppy disks ... it's not simply a copy. To do this from Windows/DOS, you would also need "fdimage.exe" which is available from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools The README file pretty much tells you what to do from there. Be sure to bookmark the FreeBSD Handbook, as it covers not only installation, but almost everything else (and is prettier than a README, :-D ): http://www.freebsd.org/handbook And if you have further questions that you can't find answers for in the Handbook or from a search engine, send as many details as possible (without creating a huge email) back to the list; many people are very helpful at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That said; /proc is considered (and has demonstrated to be) a security risk and has therefore been disabled by default in FreeBSD 5.x Besides, *BSD's have traditionally used different mechanisms to interface with the kernel. sysctl(8) comes to mind, but there are others.

Since vidcontrol refers to the console driver, however, it's probably not going to be terribly significant, console being mostly low-res text. If there is a way to specify refresh rate, I didn't find it in man vidcontrol. If the resolution/refresh under X is what you need to change, having the appropriate modelines in the X config file(if the defaults aren't suitable) will allow you to use CTRL-ALT-Keypad+ and -Keypad- to cycle through the available resolutions. As long as the "Section Monitor ... EndSection" segment of the file properly defines the HorizSync(usually in kHz) and VertRefresh(usu.
