Mounting USB mass storage
I have configured my laptop to mount a USB mass storage automagically. When
I plug the device the following messages appear:
umass0: SWISSBIT Twist, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 4
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: SWISSBIT Twist 2.00 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 61MB (126720 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 61C)
I created a personalized /usr/local/etc/devd/devd.conf as follows:
attach 0 {
device-name umass0;
action mount /mnt/usb;
};
And of course I defined the new share /mnt/usb to be mounted in /etc/fstab
(options rw, noauto).
*** NOW
It happens that if I plug the usb mass storage at boot time it all goes
smoothly and I find
the device mounted under /mnt/usb *** whilst *** if I plug the device (as
root or user) It isn't mounted automatically but I have to issue the command
mount /mnt/usb
What's should I do to have the device mounted?

I have configured four accounts :
- Three are ok (the one on which I receive a small amount of large mail)
- One is causing serious problem (hanging during the transmission of
my mail). This account is used for my mailing list, so I have a lot of
small size mail.
Any idea ??
Do you know any other POP server that supports SSL / TLS ?
If it's hanging during the *transmission* of mail, then that would be
a problem with your MTA (sendmail?), not qpopper, right?
What are the actual symptoms of this hang?

Re: Qpopper SSL TLS problem

If it's hanging during the *transmission* of mail, then that would be a problem with your MTA (sendmail?), not qpopper, right? What are the actual symptoms of this hang?

Server reports : Apr 27 11:44:23 newmail qpopper[20829]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at IP_ADDR (IP_ADDR); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA (RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits Apr 27 11:44:23 newmail qpopper[20829]: (null) at IP_ADDR (IP_ADDR): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error Apr 27 11:44:23 newmail qpopper[20829]: (v4.0.5) Timing for @IP_ADDR (error) auth=0 init=0 clean=0 On the Qpopper website they are stating on the FAQ: I see errors such as POP EOF, SIGHUP or SIGPIPE flagged, or POP hangup. Generally, this is because a client has disconnected without sending QUIT. This can be the result of telephone modem problems, which are more likely to occur when downloading large messages. It could also be caused by too-small timeout values in some clients. If you are using Qpopper 4.0 or later and your network is very congested, the aggregating of small packets into one large one can acerbate the situation. In this case you can use the --enable-chunky-writes=1 flag with ./configure, or use set chunky-writes = tls in a configuration file. My network is not congested. I don't use a phoneline, I have enabled the option set chunky-writes = tls as I am using TLS What does the error message POP EOF or I/O error mean? EOF or I/O error almost always means EOF. That is, the network connection with the client dropped unexpectedly. At the point where this message is issued, Qpopper no longer knows if it was an EOF or an actual I/O error, and so it reports the error number just in case it really is an I/O error (which it almost never is). When it is just an EOF, the associated error is meaningless.

Re: mbmon (in xmbmon port) on ASUS P4T-533
Steven Friedrich wrote: I'm running i386 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE and I have installed port xmbmon. mbmon doesn't detect my hw sensoe, even though it's mentioned in the Readme in /usr/local/share/doc/xmbmon. The Readme mentions the P4T-533C, which is amost identical and uses the same hw monitor chip. I have tried adding smbus support to my kerenl config, i.e., device smbus # Bus support, required for smb below. device intpm device alpm device ichsmb device viapm device amdpm device smb and even device iicbus # Bus support, required for ic/iic/iicsmb below. device iicbb device ic device iic device iicsmb # smb over i2c bridge to no avail. I even removed /dev/smb0 and /dev/smb1 and then rebuilt xmbmon. I didn't see any ref to smb devices in dmesg, before or after removing the devices in /dev. Any ideas? *Almost* identical, means different: a different PCI id is just enough. Your chipset is probably unsupported by FreeBSD, that's why you get no detection messages in the logs. Anyway, mbmon interfaces directly to the HW, so it doesn't need (and doesn't take advantage of) any kernel driver. If it doesn't work, then again, it also doesn't support your chip. You might search for a previous thread in which I gave more details, but I'll doubt you'll get it to work without modifying the software. You might also try lmmon and/or healthd (these need the drivers). bye av. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The installation took me less than half an hour, the graphical installation is quite nice (even though it should mention somewhere that you MUST install FreeBSD on a primary partition) and PC-BSD booted fine, recognized my soundcard and came up with a nice KDE3.4. The only thing I had to do was change the resolution and the driver (vesa is not a good idea if you have an ATI card) in XF86Config. The next thing I have to do is to get the network working (actually I have an ISDN router, so this should not be a big deal).

Open tty limit of 32?

Any user trying to login after ls -la /dev/tty* | grep -v wheel | wc -l starts returning 32 get the following message along with a distorted terminal that is completly locked. Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor). There are random users using ttys, some two ttys and others maybe more but it's always 32 open. I almost wanted to post this on hackers because i've searched the net like a maniac without answers and no one on irc could answer me.

It is therefore not possible to dismount swap devices which are mounted during system operation. Regrettably, you will need to shutdown your system and reboot it to clear this problem. Assuming you haven't put anything vn-related into your startup or your fstab, it will come up with only the previous swap you had configured. All the steps you followed looked right, so after rebooting if you go through it again, you should be fine. Next time just make sure you really get a 200MB file before you turn it into a vn device. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiki Technologies Lead Programmer/Software Architect I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green And whip-smart as the English Channel's wide... -- 'Whip-Smart', Liz Phair ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nat problem
Hi, I got my FreeBSD box set up as a NAT gateway. I got it working partialy; icmp pinging from inside to the internet works. But as soon as I try to make a tcp connection (loading a webpage or so) it just sits still! The external interface is fxp0 The internal interface is gif3 (this is a ipip tunnel) ipnat.conf is: map fxp0 10.0.1.0/24 - 0.0.0.0/32 portmap tcp/udp 1025:65000 map fxp0 10.0.1.0/24 - 0.0.0.0/32 I find it very odd, because pings travel and are natted without problems. What can be wrong?

How to get rid of games ?
Hi, I'm running a server with 4-Stable. As it is a server, things like games should not be there. However, it has already been installed (did that come by default? don't know). Anyway, I'd like to get rid of all the games stuff. I'll add NOGAMES=true in /etc/make.conf, which will prevent compiling installing games for a new build + install world. However, what was already there, remains there after a new install world; and I'd like to remove those games files directories. I don't like to roam around the system as root and type rm -rf here and there, without being very sure it can go. Can I safely do rm -rf /usr/games /usr/share/games /var/games for that matter? Can I also safely do the same on a 5-Stable server? Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
