You need the old-style (aka 4.x style) "device pcm" in versions prior to 
5.3-REL (maybe 5.2.1). However, you should REALLY consider upgrading to 
either 5.3-REL or 5.4-PRE as ALOT of stuff has been done since 5.1-REL

If you mean 'outside of his home directory', then yes, a user can go
outside 'his/her existing account on the server'.  He can't read,
modify, or execute files he doesn't have permission for, however.

To go a step further, please post about the first 15 lines of

/var/db/pkg/php4-extensions-1.0/+CONTENTS

from that I should be able to explain why you are getting
the errors.

Re: Packages Corrupted

[KP]

My first message is inaccturate, it seems all packages has the same problem.
For example:

# pkg_delete wget-1.8.2_6
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt

# pkg_info | grep mysql
pkg_info: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
mysql-client-4.0.21 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
php4-mysql-4.3.9The mysql shared extension for php

Is it possible to remove all installed packages and start over? Thanks!

If /var/db is "messed up" there is no way to know which installed
package is associated with which port.  If you don't see any package 
names listed under /var/db/pkg they are as good as not being installed
as far as the ports system is concerned. You should never fool with
anything under /var/db/pkg, always leave that to the ports system to 
handle. What is the status of  /var/db/pkg now? Are there any package
names listed in it?

Packages Corrupted

[KP]

I installed apache, php and mysql with pkg_add, unfortunately I messed up
the directory /var/db during moving and linking. Now when I pkg_delete or
pkg_add any php related packages, always got the error message: "the package
info for package 'pkg' is corrupt", tried "pkgdb -F" and it didn't work.
This is a new server running 5.3 release, just installed serveral packages,
but with the error message, I feel the system totally corrupted. Is it
possible to fix this? Many thanks in advance!

Actually, this is a fresh recompilation but it's the first (and

For starters, there are a number of tools you can use.  I have a

You can also try just restarting the interface. On my laptop, for
example, running FreeBSD 5.3, I re-start the ndis based network
interface thusly:

/etc/rc.d/ndis restart

where that script is:

--
#!/bin/sh
# By Mario S. 2004

# PROVIDE: ndis
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD

. /etc/rc.subr

name="ndis"
start_precmd=""
stop_precmd=""
start_cmd="ndis_yastart"
stop_cmd="ndis_yastop"


ndis_yastart()
{
echo "Starting NDIS network driver: "
sysctl dev.ndis.0.SSID="myssid"
ifconfig ndis0 192.168.1.234
route add default 192.168.1.1
echo "Done"
}

ndis_yastop()
{
ifconfig ndis0 down
kldunload if_ndis
killall dhclient
}

Althougth I have never done it, you could search documentation on doin

I believe Bash has a restricted shell of some sort.
I also have seen restricted shells in Freshmeat.net (about 2 weeks ago saw

Based on my very limited knowledge of the topic I would say that

FWIW, the Hurd has a capability to attach a "translator"
anywhere on a file system. By "translator", they mean
a user land file system server. It's kind of mounting
a process instead of a device on an arbitrary mount
point. Actually, they borrowed and extended the idea
from BSD's portalfs!

If FreeBSD had something similar (e.g. by extending portalfs),
it would be quite easy to write a tarfs translator, at least
in read-only mode.

Of course, one could always write a kernel module for this the
classic Linux way, but it won't be so neat and flexible as a
user land application!

correction.  that was for gentoo-linux.  for freebsd, you can use:
  /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
or
  /usr/libexec/sftp-server
depending on if you're using openssh from ports or from the base install

Fan speed control on compaq DL380 server

[Aaron Sloan]

Hi,
I'm having some problems finding good information on how to or if it is 
available
to control the fan speed on Proliant servers. I have found some links, 
but they
don't seem to lead to an answer.
I have installed /sysutils/freeipmi
Is this what I should be using?  I couldn't find a HCL for it.
I'm eating up a lot of time searching.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

if you only want scp to work, then you can use this as the shell:

  /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server

worked for me.  however, if they need a shell, you'll have to chroot() the 
shell and i don't know how to do that.  i've never bothered to learn 'cause 
i've heard that they're easy to break out of anyway.

DW,

I thought this was accomplished when initially setting up a user's 
account?  I'm under the impression that when a user clients sshd, 
s/he still can't go beyong the boundaries of his/her existing 
account on the server.  Of course: if $impression = "delusion" 
then someone _please_ correct me!  fi :O

You could try using 'bash -r' as the shell for this user. The -r option
puts bash in "restricted" mode. See bash(1).

ssh - restricted shell

[Duane Winner]

Hello,
Does anybody know the best technique to accomplish this:
We have a server that we use for mostly internal development, and run an 
SSH server.

We have an outsider who we want to allow to ssh into this server and do 
some work.

However, because he is an outsider, we don't want him roaming around our 
server, moving, looking, doing, or anything outside of his own home 
directory.

How can I restrict him to his own home directory?
I thought I ran into instructions once for doing this, but I can't find 
anything right now.

Or was I thinking of scponly ?
That might do it, except we do need to set him up to to run some scripts 
within his home directory after he uploads stuff via scp.

Thanks,
DW

System Panic (Trap 12)

I have posted this message to hackers but have not gotten a response.  I think 
this is networking related, but I don't know how to solve it?  Any ideas?

I am getting numerous panics.  It seems to be totally random with no 
bearing on load.  This is a dual proc. AMD 2600, 2 GB Ram.


I have included the where results of three seperate core files.

Please advise.

You've not mentioned your disk's size, so I can't really

with enough space, I'd grab it off via ftp/sftp or the like
and then cat /dev/null to it as root and make a reminder
in the future to rotate the logs more often...
e.g.:
   `cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/log/mainlog`

Re: Hardware problems after installing 5.4 pre-release

I've tried installing gnome and windowmaker to test the sound.  Each
act the same as KDE.  Mplayer works with sound but nothing else.  I,
also, installed xmms and tested, no sound.  The sound graphics are
idle, seeming to indicate that the sound is not being generated in the
applications.  I, also, tried the command line app cdcontrol.

# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1

no sound.  Does mplayer use a kernel independent sound driver?

Andrew,
Short of that solution, why not tar -t to get a list of files in the

You ought to be able to:
tar -t foo.tar > list.txt

No. If you use dd you'll screw up the floppy's "filesystem". Just mount
the floppy with 'mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 ' and copy the
file, or use mcopy from the mtools port.

Don't know...don't think so easily, though.  Wouldn't it be easier to 
use something like mtools?

That's actually a pretty neat idea, although I don't know that such a 
capability is available.  Hmm.  Emacs has a special mode for accessing the 
contents of a tarball which might be helpful in other circumstances, but I 
suspect that an 80GB file is going to be too big for it to handle.

In the meantime, you might be able to use "tar tf" to see the contents of this 
monster tarball, and you could then extract smaller pieces from it if need be, 
rather than having to deal with the entire thing all at once.

Andrew,
Short of that solution, why not tar -t to get a list of files in the 
archive, then you can tar -x the files you actually want.

You ought to be able to:
tar -t foo.tar > list.txt
edit list.txt
cat list.txt | xargs tar -x foo.tar

No, but of course you can access files within it using tar(1) without
having to extract them to disk (by extracting to stdout).

stheg,
Is this a system that has been upgraded?  My guess is that your boot 
loader was installed or configured for an earlier version of FreeBSD, 
where /kernel used to be the place to go ... and maybe you just don't 
reboot all the much, or something got knocked loose in the times before 
the power outage.  At any rate ... check the handbook for how to replace 
your MBR (typically needed after installing Windows) which might do the 
trick.  Otherwise, it is maybe missing some crucial hint from a file 
that got clobbered from the /boot or /kernel directories or something?  
I'd like to think that that will get fixed when you upgrade to 5.4. :)

(If you really want to know the answer, find a good resource on FreeBSD 
bootstrap process.  There have been changes these past few years, so I'm 
pretty sure people have been writing about this ...)

ftpd - 421 Service not available

[jeff . stelzner]

Hi:

I have a freebsd-4.8-release box that recently crashed due to hardware 
[fan] failures after being up for 18 months.

It runs the stock ftpd server out of inetd.
- It does *not* use ftpchroot
- It is *not* setup as an anonymous ftp server

When the system came back up, remote connections to the ftp server result 
in:

$ ftp nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
421 Service not available, Remote server has closed the connection

Connections from the box to itself work fine:

$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.esca.com.
220 somehost.some.domain FTP server (Version xxx) ready.

Here are the troubleshooting steps I have followed thus far [it is in a 
location with no remote access, so I'm talking a technician through this]:
- Verified default inetd entry invokes '/usr/libexec/ftpd -l'   [since it 
works locally this should be OK]
- Disabled ipfilter firewall
- Verified that default /etc/hosts.allow contained 'ALL : ALL : allow' as 
the initial line [also edited the file to contain only this line, to no 
effect]
- Verified that /etc/hosts contains correct address/hostname entry for the 
system, matching corresponding into in /etc/rc.conf. The box does *not* 
use DNS [lookups disabled].

So I'm wondering what types of things would cause remote connections to 
give a 421. Googling and looking at the archives for this list point to 
ftpchroot problems as the typical issue. Not here.

Thanks for any tips you can offer - Jeff

Re: Sound on Dell Dimension 8300 (FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE)

[Tim Kellers]

If you have a file named snd_ich.ko in /boot/kernel/:
Try (as root)

#kldload snd_ich.ko

and see if your sound begins to work

(you can check the status of loaded modules with the command kldstat(8))

Sound on Dell Dimension 8300 (FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE)

[Amit Kumar Saha]

Hi,
I am trying to enable the builtin sound card present in Dell
Dimension 8300 but cant seem to get it done. As far as I remember, in
FreeBSD 5.3 it can be done simply by having the following two options in
the kernel config file:

device sound
device snd_ich

However, FreeBSD 5.1 does not recognize any of these even (Even man sound
or man snd_ich does not work even though it should work on any FreeBSD 5.*
So I guess I have to give some hardware hints in order to

config MYCONFIG gives the following error report:
=

config: Error: device "sound" is unknown
config: Error: device "snd_ich" is unknown

(/boot/kernel/ however has the files snd_ich.ko as well as snd_pcm.ko)

The output of cat /dev/sndstat is as follows:
=

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:

The 'seems to be relevant part of dmesg' is here:
=
pci0:  at device 31.5 (no driver attached)

The entire dmesg output is as follows:

Perhaps stunnel? You can set it up at some port and it can proxy for your
http
proxy. It's been awhile since I used it, but it was very easy to setup.
Performance was ok but it's not for very heavy traffic sites I'd think. Http
over ssl is always slower. If performance isn't the greatest concern but
rather functionality and managability this might be just what you're looking
for. It's in /usr/ports/security/stunnel

Using a high level (scripting) language which has ssl functionality it would
also be quite easy to write your own if it needs some specific (exotic) local
requirements.

HTH,

Dan

They take away the ability to press f5 during boot to configure the card
and
in exchange the card's bios talks to the Compaq software configuration
utility,
so when you go into the software config that you use to configure the PC
you can also config the SCSI card.

Just today I replaced the Quantum 8GB Fireball with a Seagate 4GB
baracuda,
I have not yet built a system on there yet so we will see what happens.

If it doesen't work I have another scsi card around, it irks me to toss
a perfectly good scsi adapter card just because the ijuts that made it
slapped
a weirdo firmware on it.

If there is one single thing that will prevent you from getting FreeBSD
running on the most systems, that is it.

Let me tell you a story.

Back in 1992 I was a lowly IT tech at Central Point Software.  (Sadly at
that time CPS had not the vision to recognize the importance of FreeBSD -
they didn't recognize the importance of a great many other things but
that's a different story)

Some idiot had bought 25 Zenith 486 desktop systems (I think it was 486
could have been 386's though) the previous year.

We had these systems failing about once a month by then. The IT
department
had a big closet with about 10 of them piled up.  When one broke we would
put a different PC on their desk then take the 486 back to the closet.

I resolved one day to clean out the closet.  I pulled all systems out and
set them all up and tested each one - one had a bad video board, one had
a bad disk drive, etc. etc.

By pulling a good video card out of one and replacing a bad video card in
another one with the video card I pulled, I was able to get a pile of
working systems and a pile of broken parts.

I took all the broken parts and put them into 2 of the chassises,
intending
to throw them out.

For grins I plugged in both systems "full of broken parts" to see how bad
they would be.  Both powered up and worked perfectly.

After that day I have always included the capability of 'making wild
guesses'
in my troubleshooting.  You make wild guesses after you have exhausted
normal
troubleshooting.  This is the difference between a medeocre 'by the book'
repair tech, and a true master, and it is why the master manages to fix
things that others believe are beyond hope.

problem with Azureus

[Warren]

I recently had trouble with Azureus using approx 53% of my mem and 90% of my 
SWAP so idecided to upgrade my RAM from 512 to 1gig thinking this would solve 
my problem, but alas i was mistaken.

Is there a way i can instruct it so Azureus only uses a certain %?  As it is 
when this program is running it pritty well much bogs down my machine making 
it damn near impossible to do anything else.

It also uses so much it gets to the point where there is no more SWAP left for 
it to use and ends up closing itself down.

The 'alpha' part is what I meant about this file being out of date.
It is stable and widely used, but that doesn't mean there are not
bugs.

Isn't this usually done by dumping the database state and then backing
that up, instead of trying to back up the live database?

The package system did.  
The latest results are for RELENG_4, which isn't all *that* different,
and it built this morning:

Well, I'm pretty sure you've already covered the obvious candidates,
like make.conf (I assume you used an empty one on your freshly
installed system).

The error itself doesn't seem to make much sense.  You can build a
bunch of dependencies before you get to that point, so it does seem to
be specific to KDE...

Well, you could try updating to RELENG_4.

And definitely talk to the KDE maintainers.

Are there other alternatives for live backups?
Plenty, if you don't demand an instantaneous image of the backup
image.
That depends on what you mean for instantaneous...
I'll explain my needs briefly: I export (via Samba) a whole bunch of 
databases that 9 clients read and write. I do not have more details (I 
didn't write that app myself).
The needs are:
a) backup data so that in case of severe failure we can get it rapidly 
back (we are going to loose the last transactions, obviously);
b) replicate everything to another machine (via rsync) so that a remote 
user can see a snapshot of the system status.

We probably can live with some incoherent records in a) (after all, 
something will almost for sure need manual fix anyway); as for b) I fear 
it might be more prone to problems.

So, if for instantaneous you mean at a specific time, I don't care at 
all wether the image is made an hour earlier or later. All I'd like is 
coherence.

BTW, we have almost no room for changes on the client side :(


The pros and cons of the snapshot code have been discussed on the

You might want to have a look at the Handbook that comes with FreeBSD,
especially chapter 3 (UNIX basics). There are also several good books on
FreeBSD available, see Appendix B of the Handbook.

You can find the english version of the handbook by pointing your
browser at /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html. It
is also available in plain text format;
/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.txt

Ports have to be frozen in advance because it takes such a long time to
build the set of packages.  If there is a critical fix in 8.13.4, it
may get committed despite the freeze.  You'll have to check with the
maintainer though.

Does it really try to compile multiple files with one gcc command?
Usually make doesn't do that. Try capturing the output from the build to
see what goes wrong. Does kdelibs3 use libtool? There could be an error
in the libtool invocation so that the source file ends up twice on the
gcc command line, producing the error.

If manpath.config is the only file you are missing from /etc, you can
restore it by running as root:

# install -o root -g wheel -m 644 \
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man/manpath/manpath.config \
/etc/manpath.config

If you see anything else missing from /etc, let us know.

No, I'm talking about the crypto distribution in the base system.  I

It's possible you're seeing deadlock bugs in the snapshot code; you'd
need to compile your system with DDB support and obtain traceback
information as described in the developers' handbook chapter on kernel
debugging.

The snapshot code was intended to support background fsck and that
alone.  It's also optionally used by the dump code, but it was not
written as a general-purpose live filesystem snapshot service.

I didn't always have the opportunity to check, but I did once: I'm sure 
the disks were not working, and the CPU was not under stress, so I can 
see no reason why it would take that long (I waited for more than an 
hour, then decided to reset).

Lastly, if what you say is true, that "writes to the filesytem may be 
suspended" for that long, then I don't see much point in using this 
feature. At least, it is not one that suits *my* needs: our clients must 
be up 24/7; if that happens they will time out and someone will need to 
go there and powercycle them.

Am I going in the wrong direction then?
Are there other alternatives for live backups?
Is there some sort of more detailed documentation (tutorials, howtos, 
...) on this topic?

Re: Problems with man

[Lord Raiden]

Well, the only etc file I appear to have issues with is the 
/etc/manpath.config file because it won't let me use man until it finds it 
and yet the file is there.

Ignore that.  mergemaster is not your problem if you only updated the
ports.  Sorry for the misguided attempt at helping, but when you said
"everything" I incorrectly assumed the base system.

Not really.
I don't know what you updated and how, so can you please give us more
details.  Then we'll probably be able to help you with the /etc files
that seem to have problems.

cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

[Dick Hoogendijk]

I asked about it before and will ask about it again.
I posted my errors but nobody reacted.
-(it's hard to see people like anthony /do/ get attention)-

It's a freebsd-4.11 system. Ports are up2date. Compiling gnomevfs2
and/or kdelibs3 I get this error "gcc cannot.." or "c++ cannot.."

Nowhere on the web seems to be an answer..

So let me ask you here on this list: somebody has compiled kdelibs3
(version 3.4) on a 4.11R system?

This week I wiped out my /usr/ports and installed it again.
Today I installed an extra harddisk and put a fresh freebsd-4.11 on it;
cvsupped the ports to the latest version and tried to compile kde3.
Again: the same error.

What could possibly be the reason for this?

ps: unlike anthony I'm willing to experiment. I would like to solve this
puzzle. Or at least /know/ it's just an error in the kde release.

I should have known better, because it gives an error messages
if you try it like that.

In FreeBSD-5.2.1 the snap_ffs is a little corrupt.
You should upgrade to 5.3

mksnap_ffs may sometimes take a long time (order of tens of minutes)
to generate the snapshot.  During this time, other writes to the
filesystem may be suspended.  Are you sure this isn't what you're
seeing?

Re: ata driver.

[Perttu Laine]

Now after more test I found out that I can't even copy large files
from that drive to another. It hangs on same 3.2GB then too. with dma
timeout. so it has really nothing to do with dvd-burner drive nor
atapicam.

but when I set PIO mode it works fine.

The firsts line of your script contains an error:

 mksnap_ffs mountpoint snapshot_name

 The mksnap_ffs utility creates a snapshot named snapshot_name on the file
 system mounted at mountpoint.  The snapshot_name argument must be con-
 tained within the file system mounted at mountpoint.


So it should be:

mksnap_ffs /usr /usr/any_path

newbie who can't get support from xoasis

[Chris Nye]

after a YEAR of trying to get help from Xoasis, (They won't even call or 
email me back) I'm trying to resolve these issues myself.

Sorry there are a bunch of questions. I would really appreciate it if 
someone can point me in the right direction. I've bought a couple of books 
and have a general understanding. But I'm afraid to take any big solo 
steps (even though I did last week in a crisis).  My difficulty is figuring out 
exactly how they have tweaked the system

In order of need

DISK SPACE CRITICAL

What I've tried
  deleted all snort logs
  moved /var/spool/mail/log/ee.core to /home
  (do I need it or can it be deleted??)

Can file /var/spool/mail/log/mainlog be deleted? it is hugh 1035325249

Re: P2P blocker: PeerGuardian 2 equivalent to FreeBSD?

[Jason Stewart]

You really have 2 choices.

1. Download only legal content 
2. Get a Bittorrent client that supports blocklists.

You cannot get sued for using a P2P application unless you are sharing
copyright restricted content.

re: Creating CA with CA.pl

I got this because I got CA.pl from a version of openssl-0.9.7e+
My system openssl, however, was a previous version, so didn't support 
this option.

Solution:
Either use an older version of CA.pl or update the system openssl.

P2P blocker: PeerGuardian 2 equivalent to FreeBSD?

[awad]

Hello.

My sister wants to use Torrent for her school documentary
needs. She installed PeerGuardian 2 on our workstation, but
I told her that didn't work because our main entry point
to the Internet is through our gateway server with FreeBSD.

PeerGuardian 2 is currently blocking 801227506 IPs that
may try to sue you or get you arrested if you're using P2P
stuff. I was wondering if there was something similar for
FreeBSD, or if I have to block the list of IPs manually,
and if so, how?

My firewall is PF for OpenBSD.

Thanks all,

Unfortunately not, but if you defined nullconsole I think no /boot.config is 
allowed.

I'd suggest you try to set hints.sio.1.flags="0x10" and make sure 
hints.sio.0.flags doesn't exist. This should make the second (not DB-9 
connected) serial ports of the 4801 systemconsole.
Alternatively you can try setting boot_serial="sio1" in /boot/loader.conf, but 
I never tried that.
Make sure in any case you also have "console=comconsole" in /boot/loader.conf
since the soekris bios emulates a simple "VGA"-Console.

You can also recompile the loader to tell it what sio (and at what speed) it 
should use.
The following in /etc/make.conf does the trick:
BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=   0x2F8
BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=  115200

For the loader to recompile goto /usr/src/sys/boot and do:
make clean && make depend && make && make install

Good luck,

-Harry
