Do I have to? I also don't have umass in the kernel config either, but I load that as a module later; is that OK? Problem is that I do not have any /dev/da* devices, with or without my memory stick in the usb port. I load umass module into the kernel, and then plug the memory stick into the usb port. The console gets then: umass0: EXATEL , Inc. I-BEAD Multi Player, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 122MB (249856 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 122C) umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, STALLED umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, STALLED [...last three lines repeated every minute or so...] What does the "STALLED" mean here? Is that critical? The "usbdevs -v" reports now: Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), Intel(0x), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, i-Bead 100 MP3 Player(0x8008), Sigmatel(0x066f), rev 0.01 But I have no /dev/da0 : # ls /dev/da* ls: No match. So, the memory stick is detected at the USB port, but I don't have the /dev/da* devices to mount the memory stick (although devices da and scbus are in my kernel config!). When I remove the memory stick, I get following in the console: umass0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry Opened disk da0 -> 5 umass0: detached What am I doing wrong?

The full backups was made every week, incrementary - every day. I have made a custom script to start archiver, split on the fly results to adequate sized files (< 1Gb), evaluate checksum and burn it onto DVD. The script also verify burned DVD by using stored checksums, and burn DVD again if needed. The problem is: i can't compose DVD's on the fly, i need to save them somewhere. I need to have a big, fast and reliable temporary filesystem. It doesn't needed to survive reboots. It must be fast writing. (RAID5 vinum array which i have is slow performs writes) And even if one of the disks in server computer will broke (i have a vinum on them), the backup procedure must still works. Does anybody have expirience with temporary fast filesystems ? You could use striping and mirroring (RAID 0+1). This is both fast with writes and fail-safe. And if the partition doesn't have to be crash resilient you could mount a UFS/UFS2 filesystem asynchronously. With hard disk drives that's about as fast as it gets, I'd guess. Of course, a RAM disk would be even faster, but the data volume you're dealing with is way too high for normal system memory. There are RAM disks on the market that you can add to the system as a physical (hardware) device, in the form of a hard disk drive or a PCI card, but these are usually pretty expensive.

I would do it the same way you do, but with xargs instead:
find . -type X -print0 | xargs -0 chmod XXX
If you were feeling crazy and use sh:
find . | while read path; do \
if [ -d "$path" ]; then chmod 755;
else chmod 644; fi; \
done
The latter is overkill, but the approach can be useful for nontrivial
operations on systems that don't support -print0. It also has the
benefit that you can do it over ssh without having to copy over a
script, e.g.
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] sh -s
(No nightmares from having to double- or triple-escape special
characters, either.)
Sorry, I don't know how to do it all with chmod. I assume you've
consulted the excellent FreeBSD man pages?

Finally, in /etc/ttys you need to select a console that supports latin1 characters instead of plain ascii, cons25l1 is recomended: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25l1on secure All this stuff is to make the console behave.

Why not?
Hello everybdody I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interview Linus mentioned the following: "On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things." I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very valid point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different directions. My question is this: Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version? At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounded BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version that is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good Destop solution (FreeBSD). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, your notion is not 100% correct. There are indeed different teams for
the development of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD but they are extremely
friendly and toleant towards each other and often share lot of code and
modules. For example, NetBSD and FreeBSD share the same USB subsystem.
As far as my understanding goes, each of the different flavours of BSD are
developed with a particular viewset in mind. For example, NetBSD is built no
to squeeze out the last drop of juice from the hardware. Instead it is
designed to be highly portable and literally run on anything you throw at
it. Similarly OpenBSD developers prefers more to swear by security than
anything else. They are entirely different projects although not entirely
independent.

Well there are quite a few things which are mutually exclusive in nature. In
those cases you need to have tradeoffs.

Uhm, why? Even if that were possible, isn't clarity more important that
stuffing as many actions as possible in one line?
What you list above is similar to the way I use for changing the
permissions of files/dirs and it works all the time.
There's no reason to try to write one, long, complicated command just
for the sake of making it one command instead of two. Otherwise, you
may as well do more complex stuff like:
find . | while read line; do
mode=''
[ -d "${line}" ] && mode=0755
[ -f "${line}" ] && mode=0644
[ -n "${mode}" ] && echo "chmod ${mode} \"${line}\""
done | sh
But this is getting quickly very difficult to remember easily and repeat
consistently every time you want to do something similar :)

This is an excellent way to do this, IMHO.

I guess you meant to write:
find . | while read path; do \
if [ -d "$path" ]; then chmod 755 "${path}";
else chmod 644 "${path}"; fi; \
done
Otherwise, many chmod failures are the only result.
But this has a minor buglet. It will change everything that is not a
directory to mode 0644. This mode is ok for files, but it may not be ok
(or it may even fail) for other stuff (symbolic links, for instance).

The important detail, I guess, that makes Linus wrong or at least not entirely correct in making this statement is that the three BSD-derived systems he mentions are different systems altogether. They are *NOT* different sets of packages collected and distributed around the same kernel. The same can be said about Linux distributions; some times even more so. One cannot compare any version of Slackware Linux vs. Redhat Linux vs. Mandrake vs. SuSE vs. Gentoo vs. Ubuntu vs. the Linux distribution "de jour". At any given point in time, one can find Linux distributions that come with kernel version 2.2, others with 2.4, a third group coming with some minor release of 2.6.x, etc. Having said that, I don't see why Linux can be considered as "one system". Even if it were, I don't see why four different systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Dragonfly BSD) are bad because they are not "one system". Not to mention, that this is partly wrong because the BSD systems -- the internals of their kernels put aside for a while -- have a great deal of similarities between then; many more than any randomly chosen set of Linux distributions. What Linus fails to see when he makes comments like the one above are some very crucial points: - A "system" is not just its kernel. - Linux "systems" have a lot more differences than he implies. - The BSD systems, when seen as a whole and not just as a kernel, have many more similarities among them than any set of at least two different Linux systems. > My question is this: > Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version? They do, in fact. A lot more than Linus implies. They just use their different BSD systems to develop the things they most like. Very often, what new features developed on one BSD system is ported or copied over to other BSD systems. Bug fixes that are made on one of the BSDs are many times fixed in a short time in other BSDs too. > At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working > in the same issues.

RE: format slice
Hello, formatting is almost complete... My new problem is that bsdlabel didn't create a new partition after bsdlabel -e ad0s1. Below is an extensive output of some commands, but you might want to skip to the last alinea ;). I used fdisk to create a new slice.

The attributes for the /home/robot and /home/mlbot by default set to 755. To have a users in the same group delete files from these directories, you need to set the directory attributes to 775.

Re: Why not?
Aperez wrote: Hello everybdody I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interview Linus mentioned the following: "On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things." I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very valid point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different directions. My question is this: Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version? At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounded BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version that is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good Destop solution (FreeBSD). At the risk of really *being* a troll, I'll philosophize apart from the technical world for a moment. Some people are born, grow up, and when the time is right, based on love, respect, and trust, they start a family. (You can view ours under /usr/share/misc/ on most systems). Others are born, grow up, discover they are popular and fsck around with anyone who'll have them. They say that it's more fun, and maybe it is for a while; nature takes its course and the seeds scatter where they may On one hand you'll usually (rules exist to prove exceptions, right?) have a relatively small group of well-adjusted individuals after several years. On the other, you'll have a legions of messed-up bastardized malcontents. Draw your own conclusions Kevin Kinsey P.S. I have nothing personal against Linux, Mr. Torvalds, or $name_here.

Hello,
In my second disk I have free space between two slices so I tried the
procedure by myself.
When I did a 'bsdlabel -w /dev/adXsY' (without editing them) I ended
with a partition labeled 'a', and it instantly appeared in '/dev/'. Then
I did what you have done ('bsdlabel -e ') and it also appeared in
'/dev'.
I do not know about this, but maybe this helps:
1) Try with only 'bsdlabel -w '. The partition should appear as
'a'.
2) If the partition does not appear in '/dev/' then you can reinitialize
the ATA channel (0 or 1, I think your disk is in 0) your disk is in,
with 'atacontrol reinit '. For a list of ATA channels
with the devices do 'atacontrol list'.
***WARNING***: do ***NOT*** 'detach' and 'attach' the channel your
device your running hard disk (that contain the FreeBSD you are
running) is connected to (but you can safely 'reinit' it). A 'detach'
removes the disk and slices/partitions from the kernel and powers down
the devices in that channel, so FreeBSD will stall when it tries to
read/write on its partitions ('/', '/usr', etc.). I could detach and
atach it once (in less than 5 seconds), but the other time it crashed
my machine (I had to rewrite this mail three times, because I was
experimenting with 'atacontrol'). It is more safe to reboot the machine.
Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,
Have you tried to reinitialize the ata channel before changing the
partitions?
Try unmounting '/dev' and mounting it again (forcing it with '-f').
If the problem persist, the only alternative is to reboot. Do you have a
dynamic IP? If that is the case it is possible to add a crontab entry
that executes a script on each system startup. The script can send you
an e-mail to you using the internal sendmail (must be enabled for that)
relay so it will contain the IP of your server (in the complete
headers). Alternatively the script can upload a file containing the
output of 'ifconfig' to an FTP site.
If you are interested you can ask me for more information.
Best Regards,
Ale

The /etc/rc script is the first "rc script" that runs. This is the one
that takes care of running all the rest of the rc stuff.
In pre-5.X versions of FreeBSD, the /etc/rc script called a predefined
set of /etc/rc.* scripts at specific points during the startup process,
delegating pieces of the work to them.
In 5.3-RELEASE and later versions of FreeBSD, there is a collection of
small /etc/rc.d/* scripts, that are called by /etc/rc instead of the
older /etc/rc.* stuff. The specific order these scripts will have is
determined at boot time, by the /sbin/rcorder utility.
Each script, either one of the older /etc/rc.* stuff or the newer
/etc/rc.d/* scripts, slurps in /etc/rc.conf and then checks what parts
of the script are enabled to run. It is the responsibility of the
specific script to check the proper rc.conf variables and act
accordingly.
A small example of an rc script that checks a variable and modifies its
own behavior is /etc/rc.d/tmp, which contains (among other stuff):
load_rc_config $name
# If we do not have a writable /tmp, create a memory
# filesystem for /tmp. If /tmp is a symlink (e.g. to /var/tmp,
# then it should already be writable).
#
case "${tmpmfs}" in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
...
Thus, it's not /etc/rc that checks the "tmpfs" variable from rc.conf,
but the specific script that is interested in its value.

Giorgos

When I want to install BSD on a box to use as a dedicated firewall, network logging/snort machine, or other security apparatus, I use OpenBSD. When I want to install BSD on a box to use as a server or a desktop/workstation, I install FreeBSD. When I want to use Linux as a desktop (I haven't installed any Linux servers for a while now), I use Slackware. If I recommend a beginner Linux distro to a newbie, it's usually Mandrake or SuSE. If I recommend an enterprise Linux distro, it's usually RedHat. If I recommend a Linux distro that is for more experienced users, I'd recommend Debian, Gentoo or (my personal preference) Slackware. However, if any of those people are comfortable with *nix but are looking for something different, like maybe they would appreciate an OS developed cohesively, rather than a kernel with various distros which add any of a variety of userland tools, I recommend FreeBSD. If they find they like it, then I tell them about the more specialized flavors. Linus is free to disagree with the direction BSD has taken over the years. However, I'm a bit surprised he's knocking the forking of code. Isn't that an inherent strength of open source? He's free to develop in his own manner, which has proven to be successful for his particular concept, but it's strength is that it's chaotic and allows a variety of userland configurations and setups. BSD is more disciplined but rigid in its choice of userland tools, which is its strength. The issue of code forking is ancillary, and the history is somewhat political, but the teams all share code and concepts. I'm not sure why this is a problem for anyone. However, if you think, as an example, Theo de Raadt should give up OpenBSD and come back to develop for FreeBSD, then feel free to drop him an email, as well as the core FreeBSD team. Oh, and make sure to let us know how it goes ;) - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
Hello everyone! I have a FreeBSD-4.10 machine and a newly connected DSL with static ip address. The DSL connection setup uses an ADSL modem (SMC7901BRA) which has 1 connection to my phone line and 1 connection to my LAN card using UTP cable. In Windows XP setup, the process of setting up Internet is just as easy as configuring the TCP/IP prpoerties with the static ip address given to me and other details such as gateway, dns, subnet mask etc. My machine has a dual-boot WinXP and FreeBSD-4.10. As I've said above, I can easily connect to the Internet using the WinXP. But, I want to try FreeBSD to connect to the Internet, but it doesn't work. Here's what I did to test if I can connect to Internet via DSL using FreeBSD: 1. Reboot or boot to FreeBSD-4.10 2. Login as root 3. /stand/sysinstall to assign IP address, gateway, and dns 4. Reboot machine to make sure new IP settings take effect 5. Do an ifconfig and see that the IP settings are correct 6. I can ping my own IP address (static IP address of the DSL assigned by my ISP) 7. When I try to ping the ISP's given gateway, I receive "ping to: Host is down". 8. Seeing the modem status, the "LAN" and "SYNC" signals are up but the "DATA" is off. I have tried searching the net with FreeBSD+DSL but all I can read is about "PPPoE" which requires a "username" and "password" which I don't have. My DSL account is an "always on" account with a static IP address and I guess it doesnt have a username/password for connection to the ISP. Does FreeBSD need to detect my DSL modem if it is connected to the NIC using a UTP cable connected to the modem? Here's my setup: [DSL modem]<->[DSL Provider] (provides static IP address) | | | [FreeBSD's LAN card] Does anybody has an experience connecting FreeBSD to a DSL with a static IP address and has similar setup above? Actually my real purpose is to use FreeBSD as LAN gateway using the DSL connection. But I wanna try first connecting the FreeBSD machine as a stand-alone PC which uses the simple setup above. If this setup works, the gateeway setup will surely work too.

Sounds like a compiler error? Check man brandelf.

known ELF types are: FreeBSD(9) Linux(3) Solaris(6) SVR4(0)
You could try to rebrand it to type 9.
as root:

But the syntax error, how would that get there? Try to make reinstall
after a make distclean if branding fails.

That depends on what you want to do with the space. It would be relatively complicated (but not impossible) to merge it into an existing file system.

Re: connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
If your ISP does not use PPPoE it is really quite simple. I included my laptop rc.conf just to show it plays no part: hostname="mneme.boltsys.com" moused_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_reserved_port_only="YES" rpcbind_enable="YES" I take this system around to a site using cable, dsl, my office where I connect via a wireless network and, under duress dial-up. For that reason I boot up and then connect. Every where except for the office that is as simple as: dhclient ep0 as that the antique NIC I use. Both the cable modem and the DSL modem I connect to provide DHCP on the inside. On the outside, the cable modem seems to get a fixed IP from its network. My DSL connection uses 192.168.0 addresses but all you have to do is connect to the modem as a gateway. My wireless setup: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey 0x... dhclient wi0 If your modem has a fixed IP adding defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" ifconfig_nic0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" or ifconfig_nic0="DHCP" to rc.conf should be all you need. You can of course do this manually by: ifconfig nic0 add inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I would then first try to ping an IP address and then a host name. If your ISPs DNS really is bad, you can change the hostname to localhost to avoid all the dns timeouts. If it all works, netstat -nr will have a line something like: Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.23.3 UGS 012052wi0 I hope this helps On Sat, 12 Mar 2005, Cheezy Vines wrote: > Hello everyone! > > I have a FreeBSD-4.10 machine and a newly connected DSL with static ip > address.

Decent HTML editor?
Is there a simple HTML editor that is known to be pretty good in the ports tree? I've been using Abiword for wordprocessing, and it has a "Save as HTML" feature which I plan to try. I was just curious if there was something else I should try using. I'm not using OpenOffice, as it seems a little bloated lately. My desktop is Fluxbox, though I have Gnome installed. Maybe KDE has a really good one?

Synaptics Touchpad driver
It seems that FreeBSD 5.3 now has support in the kernel for the synaptics touchpad that my laptop has. Right now it's just running as a normal mouse, it looks like the support is disabled by default. In isa/psm.c, I can see the synaptics support in there, but it's disabled unless hw.psm.synaptics_support is set to 1. My question is how do I set it to one? It's setup as a TUNABLE_INT, but there is no sysctl for it. Does it only appear on boot? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering.

As for editing pretty much any web code, I prefer vim with syntax highlighting, then I use Firefox with HTML Tidy to validate. I know, that's pretty old school (I used to use Tidy with other tools for validation, and sometimes still do), but it's simple and efficient and I can use it pretty much anywhere. I've never been happy with any HTML generator, so I'm not too familiar with all the varieties - Dreamweaver is the only one I personally know to be decent, though it's commercial and not ported to *BSD. Quanta (now part of kdewebdev) is a pretty decent gui web development tool by KDE, have used it on occasion, though from what I gather it's more useful if you have a large project and/or use something besides flat HTML, like php. If you just need simple, flat HTML and you really don't want to learn how to code it yourself, you might want to try Amaya. /usr/ports/www/amaya - http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ I haven't done more than play around with it, but the code should at least be better than most office-suite generators, as it's made by w3c. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
