Thanks for the varying replies.  I tried running portupgrade -arR, and
it seems to have worked quite well - almost all the ports are now up to
date, and the system seems to work properly.  It took over 24 hours,
partly because some ports stop and ask questions, and the process needs
occasional attention.

I think I will manage as I am for a while, and either install 5.4RC, or
wait for the 5.4 release, which should be in a few weeks.

mail/sendmail submit question

[Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC]

Hi
I am trying to allow mail submission and sending on a 5.3-RELEASE box  
from inside a jail, but not a running MTA...

I have the following in the rc.conf
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"# Start a localhost-only MTA for mail  
submission
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES"  # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail  
(YES/NO).

Since you cannot bind to localhost only in a jail I have that set to  
NO.  The /etc/mail/README file says to change the freebsd.submit.mc  
file and remake things so that it submits to another host.  I have  
done that by doing the "Change the FEATURE(msp) line to FEATURE(msp,  
hostname) where hostname is the fully qualified hostname of the  
alternative host." and then "'make install-submit-cf' in /etc/mail/".

When I try to do a mail on the command line, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/chad# can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/):  
Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

Where do I set this TrustedUser and how do I make the mail program  
work as a TrustedUser?

I grepped TrustedUser in /etc/mail/* and got
freebsd.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
freebsd.submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
machine.com.submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
sendmail.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
so it seems to be set to smmsp which is a valid user in the password  
file.

Thanks for any help or pointers on getting this to work.
Thanks
Chad

Although it's going a bit out-of-topic, the
situation is that the Windows desease is very
effective here. Only unused, redundant computers are
available for my alien Unix experiments. Hence my
trouble with ata2 on an old PC.

However, I'm not too unhappy with all this, since
one of my hobbies has become to give discarded
computers a second Unix life, in which they sometimes
outperform the newer ones powered by Windows.

Having one such old PC now running FreeBSD and being
used for data acquisition, is one of my personal
victories in the lab :).

Ignorance and file suffixes

[vizion]

Hi

I have tried unsuccessfuly to find out from the manual what the suffixes
mean on the files collected by cvsup (e.g. "v") is there a reference for
such info?
As a newcomer to cvsup when reading the cvsup pages I did not see any
recomendations for good practice for management or use of the files once
they have been downloaded. I am pretty familar with downloading tar files
and the processes of extracting and compiling. With so many packages/ports
coming at the same time (I am half way through my first cvsup right now) I
am wondering what I need to do when the downloads are complete!

I forget something to say you. You must modify file
/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97.c that look line

{ 0x41445363, 0x00, 0, "AD1886A",   0 },

{ 0x41445368, 0x00, 0, "AD1888",  ad198x_patch }, => add
this line;

{ 0x41445370, 0x00, 0, "AD1980",  ad198x_patch },

After that you must unload snd_ich

$kldunload snd_ich

And again load snd_ich for affect that modified ac97.c

$kldload snd_ich

Then you can using enter Control Center active sound card, listen sound
test. I sure it must be ok at this point.

Files with a ,v suffix are RCS files, usually used by CVS. I don't
think you intentionally want those files. Your supfile may have an
error in it; please show us your supfile.

Free BSD & Heartbeat + Samba + Rsync

[Robert Slade]

Hi,

I'm new to the world of HA and Unix having just moved from a windows
based system.

What I am trying to do is provide a network of XP, W2k and FreeBSD (5.3)
machines a central File store. This store also needs to provide for
backing up of off site machines. My problem is that I am not up
onprogramming and I am having problems getting my brain around scripts
etc.

My thoughts are:

Use heartbeat to form the core of the system.

Use Samba to export file shares for the Windows machines.

Use Rsync to sync the files between nodes of the cluster.

Use FTP (VSftp or ProFTP) to receive backups of the data from the off
site machines?

I have got the bits running on their own, but i am having trouble with
getting them to run together. If I have this right, heartbeat will stop
and start services such as samba as the nodes change over.

Heartbeat works fine and the cluster (ip 192.168.0.60 name cluster)
appears on the network. The first problem is that samba needs to be
started and stopped on the nodes. On FreeBSD Samba is started by running
smbd and nmbd via inetd unless I missed something. According to the HB
docs, to start/stop it needs a script so that a smb start or similar
will work. I'm not sure how to do this. 

My second problem is that I can get rsync to work ok, but I need to get
it to work in the reverse direction once the heartbeat has operated and
the failed node bought backup. I've tried to use the Perl scripts that
came with HB but failed as they are for linux rather than BSD and I do
not know enough about Perl to fix this. Whilst the the different paths
are easily sorted there are calls to utils that are not found on BSD. I
can post the scripts it that would help.

Advice on the feasibility of this setup would be appreciated as would
help with sorting out the problems above

Thanks

Rob

(sorry about the long post)

question about mksnap_ffs and NFS interaction

[Alan Horn]

Folks,
I have some NFS exported filesystems (home directories) that I'm placing 
under snapshots.

Timing of making a snapshot on a 140GB filesystems running about 90% full 
takes about 17 seconds.

Given that these filesystems are fairly heavily used homedir filesystems, 
what is the expected impact of those 17 seconds on NFS clients.

My guess is that its enough to be seen but not enough to cause NFS 
timeouts. So far I've been scheduling snapshots for the middle of the 
night, but I'd like to start doing four per day. Does anyone have any data 
on the likely impact ?

Please reply direct to me as I'm not subbsed to the list.
Cheers,
Al

Glad to see a question on this subject and my reply is just more
questions rather than an answer.

I've just moved to 5.4RC3 & read most of the docs and this snap issue is
new to me too. Howe are you scheduling? I noticed I never got a snapshot
until I ran the command to do snaps on each FS. So, I scheduled one for
"noon" as a cron job. Now I get a regular "snap" plus the "nooner", but
they show a random time & both done about the same time.

A mystery to me so far... sure like the new snap feature though.

New and strang log messages.

[Laurence Sanford]

I saw this in my daily emails this morning. What does it mean? I find 
this strange as I have not connected any new accessories to my computer 
in over a year, and this is the first time I've ever seen this.:

AC'97 Support?

[Mihail Stoyanov]

Hello! 
 
I recently installed the FreeBSD 5.3-BETA4-STABLE version of the FreeBSD 
operating system. I have a MSI mainboard with AC'97 built-in sound card. 
I compiled my kernel with "device sound" but it doesn't seem to get the 
job done. Is there a way to activate my sound card with this version of 
FreeBSD and how? 
 
Thank you for your time and consideration! 
 
Sincerely, 
Mihail Stoyanov

To compile or not to compile the system

[Vittorio]

Using cvsup, after having issued "make update",  it takes a long time to 
recompile the OS sources and kernel  by means of 
make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
and then..
mergemaster -p
make installworld 
etc...

If I frequently update the OS and ports this procedure becomes time-consuming 
indeed. 
Is there any way to know in advance if it is necessary to comply with the 
described procedure or if it can be skipped because there weren't changes 
between two close updating?
Ciao

I'm not an expert here, but I have solved this
problem for other soundscards, by loading the
additional sound modules one-by-one and see
which one connects to the soundcard, by inspecting
'cat /dev/sndstat'.

Check /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES or /boot/kernel/ for
all snd_* modules.

This is a bit of a brute force method, but may be of
help to you, until someone else more knowledgeable
replies to your question.

Good luck,
Rob.

Subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then you know when you should 
cvsup again and recompile the kernel (when exploits or other security issues 
are discovered and corrected).

And you don't have to recompile all your ports every week ;) Once in a few 
months is a good approach I think.

keyboard problem X won't start

[andy]

I just upgraded from 5.3 to 5.4 RC3 via sysinstall from a cd.The
upgrade was successful however, when I try "startx" I get the
following error:

(EE) Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exit,0)
(EE) Failed to load module "Keyboard" (module does not exit,0)
(EE) No input driver matching 'Keyboard'
No core keyboard

Fatal server error:
failed to inititalize core devices

It seems the keyboard driver is missing.  Any suggestions to get it
working are really appreciated.

TIA,

A rather unusual install situation

[Wesley Groleau]

I have looked at the install doc, and I don't think this is covered.
I have an older Intel box that is unable to boot the 5.x CDs, and is
unable to create CDs from images anyway.
I am also unable to create floppies, nor do I have enough space to
build from source.
I do have 4.9 installed and running, and it has full network access
to a Mac (OS X), which has dialup to the outside world.
Is there a way to download any format of the latest stable FreeBSD
to the Mac, and from there, via NFS or FTP, upgrade?  I do have two
disks on Intel, so if necessary, I can boot one in order to install
on the other.
Or if I can get someone to make me a CD, can I install from it without
booting from it?

Wesley,

You can download the floppy(s) images from the freebsd site just follow
the links from the handbook - you need to write the image in raw mode.
You can then load from the CD.

burncd in FBSD 5.4-STABLE does not fixate

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.
Before doing again a send-pr, I would like to spread out that burncd 
still has problems fixating CD-RW/CD-R. Burning CD-R and/or CD-RW with 
command line

#hello: burncd -v -f /dev/acd1 data foo.iso fixate
leaves the CD-R or CD-RW unfixated and I need to fixate the CD-R or 
CD-RW with

#hello: cdrecord -v -fix dev=0,1,0
which remains in a working disk.
Any suggestions how to track down the problem or is it me doing wrong 
things?

Thanks in advance,
Oliver

Domain Name in postfix on a Local Network

[Bill Schmitt (SW)]

I've been struggling through setting up a mail server on my home 
network, with the goal to be running an imap server. As I've indicated 
on some other related postings I've made, networking is probably my 
weakest side and I need a little help.

I have no real internet name for the box, which I call "schfrbsd" (named 
with a dot at the end in rc.conf hostname="schfrbsd."). Using that name, 
I've managed to get Samba working and a local web server, but when I 
come to mail, I get confused. The network is made up of a bunch of XP 
Home Machines, the FreeBSD 4.9 machine, and a Netgear Router/Firewall 
that also runs DHCP. I don't think it's relevant here, but the workgroup 
name I use for Samba and Windows Peer Networking is "olympia". The 
router is called schrout, if that helps.

When I come to configuring postfix, there are entries for myhostname and 
mydomain. I believe myhostname should be schbsd. What do I use for 
mydomain? Where should I be naming the domain?

Thanks for any help.

Could it be I am missing a kernel option?

DHCP using ifconfig doesn't work ...

[Kiffin Gish]

I want to use DHCP for my wireless connection by placing the following
lines in my /etc/rc.conf file:

ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"
ifconfig_wi0="ssid GISH mode auto wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890"

I have also tried running sysinstall again and reconfiguring my wireless
connection by answering 'yes' to DHCP.

However, these do not work for some weird reason. When I login as root
and run 'dhclient wi0' then all is a-okay.

How can I have this happen automatically during boot without having
manually to run this command as root everytime?

Thanks alot in advance as usual.

If you do like that, first ifconfig_wi0 will be set to "DHCP", then it
will be overwritten and set to "ssid GISH mode auto wepmode on wepkey
0x1234567890". You should only have one line with ifconfig_wi0.

If you have X11 in place, everything is probably already there, you just need 
to link to the right libraries.

I compile my OpenGL stuff thusly:
gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGL -lpthread -lm \
-o glprogram glprogram.c

Should work for you too.

I don't think that's true at all.  First requirement, though, is digital 
interfacing.  Then, you'll want a program called a52dec, it's in ports, 
by that name, but I forget where exactly.  That's the decoder function.

You'll want a card that supports this.  The soundblaster Audigy is very 
cheap, and fully supported by the emu10k1 driver.  Support in Linux is 
also great, I love that card, and it's cheap.  The driver outputs both 
analog and digital simultaneously.

I would very much like to have a source file that had fully separated 
test toones, one ofor each channel, so that I could test and verify the 
5.1 operation, but I must rely upon my ear, and very poorly separated 
sources.  Under those circumstances, I guess I could not really warrant 
its correct operation.

pdksh and binding escape sequences to shell commands

[Tom McLaughlin]

I'm wondering if any pdksh users can tell me how to bind an escape
sequence to a command.  I want to bind the Home key (^[OH) to
beginning-of-line.  I tried the following but I get a weird result.

bind '^[OH'=beginning-of-line

When I hit the home key the cursor jumps to the beginning of the line
but then prints an H.  For example:

$ foo
(hit Home key)
$ Hfoo  (The cursor now rests after the H.)

Anybody know how to handle getting something like the Home key bound to
a command?  Thanks.

Tom

Re: DHCP using ifconfig doesn't work ...

[ckleski]

You can make a file /etc/start_if.wi0 which has the line

ifconfig ssid GISH mode auto wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890

Keep ifconfig_wi0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf.  That should do it.

RE: ipf out rule

[bob]

When asking for help with firewall rules you have to post complete
content of firewall rule set file because some previous rule may be
dropping all packets. If this is your complete rule set them you are
missing the mandatory L0 interface rule to pass quick all.  rl0 must
be Nic connected to public internet. x.x.x.120/29 is ip address
range of pc's on private LAN behind firewall. This is not much of
firewall with everything being allowed out.  You could replace all
of these meaning less statements with   pass quick all from any to
any

You really need to read firewall section of the official handbook.
It has working examples of ipf.rules rule set along with detailed
explanation of how to build firewall rules.

make x11 & tiff

[vizion]

Hi
Trying to install x11 make is looking for tiff-3.6.1.tar.gz in
my\usr\ports\distfiles failing which it searches on internet but isunable
to find. I have obtained 3.7.1.tar.gz via ftp which is now in my
distfiles.

Should I:
(a) Find version 3.6.1 (if so does anyone know where from) or
(b) make changes in the Makefile?
(c) simply change the file name?
(d) do something a lot smarter that I do not know about?
Thanks

Scanning under FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE

[iqgrande]

Hello everyone,

I posted an email sometime back asking for help getting my scanner to work under
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Upon not receiving any responses, I did some more research
and tinkering and decided to update to FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE to see if that would
fix the problem and it has not. In any event, when I try to scan something as
root, I receive the following error:

ast# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0205) at /dev/uscanner0
ast# scanimage -L
device `niash:/dev/uscanner0' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300C flatbed scanner
ast# scanimage > image.pnm
scanimage: open of device niash:/dev/uscanner0 failed: Device busy

I have read the chapter on scanning in the Handbook, as well as doing Google
searching and even posting to the sane-devel list. Does anyone else have any
insight that they can give with this problem? I can get sane-backends, with
libusb, to work with this scanner on my PowerBook running Mac OS X 10.3, so I
know the scanner and the software should work; I just think I have something
misconfigured, either with it or with something else. In case it is necessary,
my uname output is below and the full list of installed packages is beneath it.
Thank you for your help.
