installing boot0 via dd

[FreeBSD MailingLists]

I have a sony Vaio U50.  It's a pretty cool device but sony seems to
be locking out non-Sony floppy/cdrom drive during the boot process. 
As a result I can't use either of my usb-floppy or usb-cdrom drive,
even though the bios boot order is set to try floppy, optical drive,
then HDD.

I want to install boot0 onto the MBR so at least i'll have the option
of booting from a second harddrive.

Here is what I am thinking...
1) go to a different freebsd box with boot0 already installed.
2) use dd to grab a image file of the MBR
3) boot into knoppix on the machine (i already have it installed on the HDD)
4) use dd to load the image file to the MBR

can someone tell me if the following commands are correct for grabbing
and reloading the MBR?
1) on Freebsd:  dd if=/dev/ad0 of=boot0file bs=1b count=1
2) on knoppix:  dd if=boot0file of=/dev/hda bs=1b count=1

General PHP Port Question

[Bill Schmitt (SW)]

I think I'm missing something pretty basic. There appear to be two ways 
to install php4; using the port under lang/php4 and using the port under 
www/mod_php4. The "Long Description" under each is the same. Under Lang, 
the "Short Description" refers to CLI, but otherwise they appear to be 
the same thing. Other than the CLI reference, what is the difference 
between installing one or the other and why is one listed under lang and 
the other under www?

or, if you in group wheel, perhaps possible following

you$ su user

if you are not sudoer and you have not other way to take a root

You probably want mod_php, as that integrates with your Apache to

This might work, but keep in mind that you would destroy an existing 
partition table on the target hard disk. The loader program has only a 
size of 446 Bytes instead of 512 Bytes; the remaining 64+2 Bytes are for 
the partition table and the signature (0x55AA).

Re: tape record bigger than supplied buffer

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to.  I thank you
for the response.  I'll see if I can get a bit more information by
restoring the data for us to work with.  When you say match the record
size to my tape drive's, is this something that should be listed in my
tape drives literature?

 

Well, I'm guessing yes, but only based on that error message.  I know 
older tape drives had fixed record sizes, and maybe some kinds of new 
ones do too.  My DAT drive does variable sized records, because it has 
native compression, but yours may not.


You could also try "mt -f /dev/sa0" and see what it says.  I can't 
remember off had if it shows anything useful but it only takes seconds.  
(I'd check, but I'm in the middle of upgrading hardware/software and the 
tape drive isn't connected up yet).  You could also try man 4 sa which 
talks about fixed and variable block sizes.  (As far as I know, there is 
a limit of 64k for the record size, but this was info from the 4.X 
series, so I reserve the right to be wrong :-)

Well it's quite simple: 'lang/php4' installs the Apache Module and a 
command line interface while 'www/mod_php4' installs the Apache Module only.


and why is one listed under lang and 
the other under www?


'lang/php4' with the command line interface gives the ability to create 
scripts which have nothing necessarily to do with the web. It's more 
general. Furthermore this port is the base of all ports which deal with 
php4, e.g. misc/php4-calendar or devel/php4-ncurses.


'www/mod_php4' is for use with the Apache web server only and therefore 
a piece of software which belongs to the 'www' category.

RE: HP LC II Netserver PNP BIOS

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



Hi Ted,
All I've got and can afford is right now is the old
stuff I already have. I want to use the Netserver, not
only to experiment with dual processors, but also because
I have never worked with scsi or hardware raid before,
only ide. You're exactly right too, what you said about
folks like me trying to milk way too much out of old
systems. It's a PII 300 dual-processor, not that the 2
processors help a lot, and I do have smp in the kernel.
I've watched top's output while running a clamav scan.
The whole thing bogs down. X is slow too, but works.
Thought about overclocking, but don't want to burn it
up yet. Still okay tho, for nfs & ssh on my lan and
later a firewall box too. Added this to the kernel

options EISA_SLOTS=12

and rebuilt it, but it doesn't help. I'll keep on picking
at it until I'm satisfied I've tweaked it all I can.
Thanks for the help and advice.
Denny

Hi Denny,

 I used to admin a network with a number of those systems on it
but it's been years since I've dealt with one, so I've forgotten
everything from the BIOS screen.  But I did know that HP had the
manuals online, so when you said you had no manual for it, I
naturally assumed that you were unaware that HP is still supporting
them (after a fashion) and that a few minutes work would get you the
manual.  Now, if you had posted something like "I read the manual
and the option isn't in there" that would have been different.
You could try running eisaconfig on it and setting the Operating
System parameter to SCO Unix or some such, but I don't know if this
is even an option, much less if it would work.

 I have a customer that ran one of these systems for years with
FreeBSD 4.X on it  (4.8 I think) so I know that the 4.x series will
at least run on them.  As I recall these are Pentium 200Hmz systems,
correct?  If so, FreeBSD 5.X won't get you anything more than
what you would get for 4.X.  These systems made really
nice, solid little servers in their day.  Even today they are
good for small tasks like network monitoring, etc. and if I were
in your shoes I would certainly want to use the system if I had
something for it that wasn't too taxing on the CPU.  But you
are like a lot of people who have posted on this forum in the
last few years who have tried pushing older hardware to run
FreeBSD 5.X, sometimes it works but most of the time it doesen't
seem to.  I never even bother booting 5.X on anything that isn't
at minimum a Pentium II 500Mhz system nowadays.

 The only other suggestion I would make is to ask in a hardware
forum, or on Usenet in a hardware forum.

kadmin (heimdal port) ignores the ldap backend

[fandino]

Hello,

 I'm testing a new configuration with heimdal and the ldap backend
but kadmin is completely ignoring the ldap directive in the dbname
definition.

last cvsup of the ports was yesterday and LDAP was defined in
the heimdal port config:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/security/heimdal# make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are set for heimdal-0.6.3_2:
 LDAP=on "Use OpenLDAP as the KDC backend"
 CRACKLIB=on "Use CrackLib for password quality checking"
 X11=on "Build X11 utilies

and indeed it's linked with ldap as you can see:

# ldd /usr/local/sbin/kadmin
/usr/local/sbin/kadmin:

libldap-2.2.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libldap-2.2.so.7 (0x2812c000)
liblber-2.2.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/liblber-2.2.so.7 (0x2818a000)


when the realm is initied kadmin creates a couple of files with the literal
dbname definition (adding ldap: as filename prefix) instead of contacting
the openldap server.

# /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l
kadmin> init OLIMPUS
Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
# ls -l
...
-rw---  1 root  wheel  32768 May 31 10:19 ldap:ou=gods,dc=olimpus.db
-rw---  1 root  wheel   7584 May 31 10:19 ldap:ou=gods,dc=olimpus.log
...

anyone knows what I'm missing?


Thank you.

snd_driver appears to load *every* sound card driver, so if you load it and 
your sound card is detected, then one of the other drivers ought to work.  To 
figure out which one, it seems you still have to follow the procedure above 
(though missing out snd_driver), or make educated guesses based on the device 
info you got when snd_driver loaded.  I couldn't see anything which 
specifically identified the driver in my console message.

(I guess you could just load snd_driver and be done with it, but purists (i.e. 
retentive obsessives like me ;-) ) don't like loading lots of stuff they know 
won't be used).

That seems to be the case.  I had assumed that rcorder would get
invoked there too, but it doesn't.  Presumably that's because most of
the scripts there *are* old-style, but it wouldn't be very hard to
filter them into old- and new- style lists if someone wanted to code
that up.  It doesn't sound very useful, though; not the way doing it
for the system startup scripts was.

or, if you in group wheel, perhaps possible following

you$ su user

if you are not sudoer and you have not other way to take a root
privilegies, you can't be other user. And this is right. In other

Sorry for the confusion. But the problem is that the server forgets the

The question was not how to become root or any other user to change the

ftp server frustrating

[Vizion]

Hi

When I need to log on to  ftp.freebsd.org manually 15 seconds (the allowed 
login time) is insufficient  (especially when I am using my tablet) -- and I 
sometimes get logged out if I have a long file name to get. This seems to 
happen when there is a long file name to enter.

Please can you raise the limits so they are reasonable for manual ftp access. 
It is sometimes needed when for one reason or another one cannot obtain the
file automatically. There are also occasions when the server drops connections 
on automatic access due to network delays.

My experience is that the time settings are overly tight.

thanks

You may have to give more information.
I have never seen a system "forget" a password unless someone or something
intervened and specifically changed them.Or, is it possible that you
put an expiration on the passwords?By default, I believe FreeBSD
sets that at infinite, but you or someone might have changed that while
tinkering around.

a 100MBit interface cannot keep up with a 1GBit interface in a bridge

MTU is 1500 therefore 1K works (it fits in one frame), 2K doesn't (your

certainly be dropped, it's UDP so the loss of one frame invalidates the
whole transaction).

This is the same reason you can't use UDP with a block size greater than
MTU to use NFS over your DSL or some such arrangement.

Incidentially, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD.  So if using TCP
mounts solves your problem, don't expect Solaris NFS to magically make the
UDP case work...
 



The thing is that UDP NFS has been working for us for years. A big part 
of our work is performance analysis, so to change our network 
architecture will invalidate a large part of our data.

Because the mirrors have failed due to an automatic update failing to find a

If I leave my boat, carrying my tablet, to get a file, (which had previously 
failed to download automatically, trying to sort out which mirrir to use when 
I am in starbucks is not much fun when I know the mirrors have already 
failed!!

The real question is why do the timings have to be so tight? What is the point 
of trying to prevent manual use by such low setting?

It's not a big deal for legitimate users, because you can use a .netrc
file (see the ftp(1) manual).  But it does cut down on denial-of-service
caused by automated tools (usually accidental, in my experience).

Thanks -- I really appreciate your offer -- but I am hoping whoever is 
responsible for the server can solve what is, for me, an ongoing problem. The 
time settings on ftp.freebsd.org are just to low for manual access in any but 
the most perfect conditions. (I dread to think how someone who is blind or 
deaf could ever access the site manually!)
 
It is the general problem that cncerns me - if I am in some goddamned foreign 
port trying to get an individual file by ftp through using my waterproof 
windows rugged tablet for subsequent transfer to my on below decks freebsd 
server I do not want to have to be frustratingly disconnected because the 
typing speed on my tablet is limited!

The problem is people who work all day in a static environment forget about 
those who may be working in a far more rugged environment. I just can see no 
imperative reason for setting those timings so low!

Look not everyone is permanently connected.

Not everyone can always use their freebsd system to get the file they need.

No everyone is in a position to use those tools every time.

Please consider conditions for connections by users who are not land based, 
orr office based, or permanent connection based, or even freebsd based!!!

It is the general problem that concerns me - if I am in some goddamned foreign 
port trying to get an individual file by a slow ftp connection from my 
waterproof windows rugged tablet for subsequent transfer to my on below decks 
freebsd server I do not want to have to be frustratingly disconnected because 
the typing speed on my tablet is limited!

Even automated connections get dropped because the setting are so low - 
many times when connected I have had a fetch stop due to ftp.freebsd.org 
unnecessarily dropping a connection due to tight time outs.

Online Capacity Expansion, RAID, Etc.

[Nikolas Britton]

Me again,

I was looking mainly for more advanced info, like stripe sizing, not 
debating whether software RAID is better then a Hardware RAID, How slow 
RAID 5 is, or how to waste 1TB of may storage space switching the array 
to RAID 1 or 10 so I can get a speed boost, even though the LAN is the 
slowest link.


The RocketRAID 2220, on the market for less then a month, is a real 
"hardware" RAID card, my choice for RAID 5 is steadfast.


Thank You... PS could you please CC the relpy to my email addy, I 
haven't receved list mail sence the server was blacklist on saorbs. 
thank you


-
My original post, with some editing:
I'm going to be purchasing a HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 (SATA II) to
build a 1.7TB RAID 5 array but I have some relatively simple
questions... I'm going to be starting the array in a RAID 1 config using
2 drives, I will then migrate, and grow, the array to RAID 5 using the
ORLM and OCE features of the board when more space is required. FreeBSD,
RELENG_5_4, will NOT be install on this array, it will be on a separate
RAID 1 array using the motherboard's on-board SATA RAID controller.

1. How do I grow the slice and file system, ufs2, when we upgrade?
growfs looks like the right tool for the job but could someone provide
some practical examples of how to do all of this The goal is to not 
have to reboot


2. What's the best way to get this array started on the right track so
we don't have problems when were at 1.7TB?

3. Could you please share any (UNIX specific) tips, tricks, or problems 
I might run into with the array,

It looks like your ftp client did more than one lookup, one for some
connection check and another when you did the open.
Getting an unknown host error could happen if there was a timeout during 
the DNS lookup - eg. it took too long for your DNS server to respond.

I'm running a Netfinity 5000 with IBM ServeRAID 3L adapter. I won't say 
it's good (it lacks any kind of online RAID management or monitoring

listserver hosting ~50 mailing lists and as incoming mail

As to other suggestions made in this thread, they don't seem to be

because I never looked at the manual - and old habits die hard  I

I still cant understand why the cut off is set so short!!

Well I got the unknown host "ftp.freebsd.org" from:
# ncftp ftp.freebsd.org 

first - so I then did some dns checks and then the sequence above.

The weird thing is:
I have not had any other program time out . 
There are 5 dns servers listed in /etc/hosts and they all repond to other look 
ups without timeout.
It always happens with ncftp.

Still puzzled

Enabling acpi_thermal

[Luke Dean]

After having a router literally melt during a period of record-high 
temperatures last week, I've become interested in remotely monitoring the 
temperature of some of my systems.


I've got two FreeBSD systems running 5.4.  Both use acpi, and several acpi 
sysctl variables are present, but the hw.acpi.thermal family is missing.


At least one of these machines has an internal thermometer because the 
BIOS setup screen can show a temperature.  I don't suppose that means this 
thermometer has to be visible to the operating system, but I'm hoping that 
it is.


I've read the acpi and acpi_thermal manpages.  /boot/loader.conf is empty, 
so I'm just getting the defaults from /boot/defaults/loader.conf.  Is 
there some simple switch that I can flip to make the hw.acip.thermal 
sysctls appear or should I start down the path suggested in

Also, if these acpi sysctls won't appear, is there any hope that any of 
the temperature-monitoring applications in the ports collection will work?

Well, for one thing, it *isn't* as short as you were claiming; my
testing right now indicates that it's (at least) over a minute.
Perhaps you are running into problems with a local firewall that is
cutting off your connection?

For another thing, the connection controls are *much* less stringent
on most of the mirror servers.  The fact that some mirror wasn't
working for you was a separate problem which can be solved
separately.

Weird problems with xorg 6.8.2

[Paul Schmehl]

My apologies for the length of this message, but it's necessary to provide 
all the pertinent info.  If this is more pertinent to an Xorg list, point 
me there, but I've googled like crazy and haven't seen anyone discussing 
this problem.


I just did a fresh install of 5.4 RELEASE, and I'm having a very weird 
problem with xorg.  I'm running a dual head, single video card setup (ATI 
Radeon X300) using xinerama, and when I first start xorg-server, the right 
monitor does not display anything.  The light on the monitor is green, 
indicating that it's getting a signal, but the screen is blank.  Some time 
later the second monitor will begin displaying its half of the desktop.


Through testing, I've determined that the second monitor displays only 
*after* the system has gone to sleep (acpi).  If I put the system to sleep 
quickly, as soon as it wakes up, the second monitor displays.  (This is a 
dual boot system, and the Windows XP setup displays both monitors just 
fine, so I know it's not a hardware problem - it's a brand new box anyway - 
although it *could* be a driver problem, I suppose.  I've tried both the 
ati driver (which is what xorg -configure detects) and the radeon driver 
with no change in behavior.)


When I first installed, everything worked as expected - both monitors 
displayed immediately.  After I cvsup'd and ran portupgrade, I began to get 
this behavior.  Assuming it was something in the upgrade of xorg-server, I 
deinstalled xorg and xorg-server, reinstalled from the packages on the CD 
and restarted X.  Nothing changed.


I've thought about deinstalling xorg-client as well (and maybe libraries?) 
or just remove all packages and start over, but before I do that, is there 
a way to debug this?  I've been reading man pages, but I can't seem to find 
a way to start the xorg-server with a debug switch (or verbose, for that 
matter) enabled so I can get some useful messages in the logs.  (Sure hope 
you don't have to compile to get debug!)

You'll probably have better luck by installing xmbmon and either
setting up an exec line in snmpd.conf that runs "mbmon -T1 -c1", or
writing a little cgi that runs mbmon, and polling that remotely.

My testing here does conflicts with yours. there seems to be some network 
delays for freebsd.. I do not know when the timing starts --

I get a message from the server that cuts me off when I am tryiong to log in 
saying I did not login within 15 seconds. Here is an example output from 
ftp.freebsd.org when logging in:
--

331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:
421 Disconnecting you since you didn't login successfully within 15 seconds.

I have found that logging by typing my email address is virtually impossible.

This seems to happen with some regularity at the moment -- some files seem not 
to be found when fetching that I can get manually but ONLY from freebsd.org. 
Whether files take some time to propogate -- maybe because I keep my 
distfiles up to date I experience that problem more often than the average.. 
It just seems to me that the access is unreasonably tight.

Yeah. Unfortunately networking on the server fell apart when I did that. 
Traffic was still passed and I could get through to the server on the 
100Mb/s side, but not on the 1000Mb/s. It looked like the arp tables 
weren't being forwarded properly, but I couldn't convince FreeBSD to do 
proxy arp.


After doing some more poking around, it actually looks like it might be 
a misfeature in the Linux 2.4 kernel wrt ipfilter (which is running on 
the bridge). Apparently 2.4 fragments UDP packets in the reverse order 
that every other UNIX-like operating system does, which throws off 
ipfilter's state tables. I'm going to do some testing to see if the 
difference between UDP and TCP NFS is negligible enough for us to disregard.


Thanks for the suggestions!

Does anybody know what is this meaning ? Until two days ago it certainly 
worked, but now I get this error. I have't installed anything new. So... 
where is the problem ?

Ok so we are now agreed that the timing for the machine to which I connected 
is set at 15 seconds?

dns returns 62.243.72.50 so that machine is the first contact. Surely it is 
not intended to be aset so that manually logins are virtually impossible.. I 
do not see anything in your reference to indicate such a goal.

Is there any reason why the timimg on that machine cannot be adjusted so that 
it is the same as the machine you tested? If it is a minute or more that 
would be reasonable but 15 seconds is far too short for anyone at the 
keyboard who is not a keyboard racing greyhound!! :-)

So depending on which address your ftp client is given, you might have 15

That's because I did not want to make guesses as to why the
administrator set a 15 second timeout.

Dunno.  As I said in my first email, you'll probably have to ask the
administrator of that site.  Note that although the prompt asks for an
email address, it does not enforce it.  Just enter a blank password.

I just keep asking why does any of them need to be set at 15 seconds. Why not 
set both to a time greater tha say 45 seconds. At least that makes manual 
login possible.

It is that simple

I did email him and the response seemed a trifle defensive
I am hoping that he can be pursuaded to change the setting -

Can't fetch distfile trying to build OpenOffice.org 2

[Bill Moran]

I thought I'd try installing OpenOffice.org 2 in order to try it out and
see what's in the pipeline for the next version.

It seems, however, that I can't find the distfile.  I just updated my ports
tree a few hours ago, and the file that's attempting to fetch is:
OOo_1.9m105_source.tar.bz2

None of the sites listed in the Makefile have this file, and I've been
unable to find it using various search engines.

Anyone have any input on whether it's possible to build the latest OOo
2 snapshot?

you$ sudo su user

or, if you in group wheel, perhaps possible following

you$ su user

if you are not sudoer and you have not other way to take a root
privilegies, you can't be other user. And this is right. In other
case anybody can be anybody.

Sorry for the confusion. But the problem is that the server forgets the 
password of the user (in wheel) I want to log in with from remote.
The question was not how to become root or any other user to change the 
password. The question was why the box forgets the passwords in the 
first place, and how to stop this.
   



You may have to give more information.
I have never seen a system "forget" a password unless someone or something
intervened and specifically changed them.Or, is it possible that you
put an expiration on the passwords?By default, I believe FreeBSD
sets that at infinite, but you or someone might have changed that while
tinkering around.

thx for the answer.
I gave you all the info there is.
The system is now running since the release of 5.1 (2 years?) and this 
"password forgetting thing" startet about one month or so ago. I am 
quite sure that I did not tinker around with the config.

But I will take a look at the expiration time just to check.

If you're _sure_ that nobody authorized has changed the password, then
there are two very scare things possible:
1) Someone has cracked your system and is trying to keep you out by
   changing your password.
2) Your disk is failing and has corrupted your password file.

Considering how old 5.1 is, and how many security issues have been
discovered since 5.1, I would place a high probability on #1.

No guarantees, though.  But I would definately consider and investigate
those two possibilities if I were you.

Re: php/apache/ssl core dumps

[patrick]

Hi Ruben,

I have been experiencing the same thing, both by using the ports and
by building manually from source. I prefer to build from source, as I
find the ports tree to be a bit difficult to use when it comes to the
way it handles PHP stuff.

At any rate, I solved my problem by not building mod_ssl as a shared
module. Statically compiled, I no longer get the crashes. Perhaps the
ports tree has an option to build mod_ssl this way...

Re: iPod mini + ASUS P3B-F motherboard + FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE

[Tony Shadwick]

Be aware that the iPod has some freaky partitioning going on.  Even if you 
format the 'drive' as fat32, there's still a partition there you're not 
seeing.


Read over the info at the ipod linux site.  That should clear things up 
for you. :)

The on-board USB ports on this machine are USB1.1, which, while not 
"officially" supported by Apple, should work with iPod according to many 
reports on the Net. I do understand that it would be very slow, though.


The very first time I took the iPod out of the package and connected it to my 
PC, it was recognized successfully:


May 30 20:08:32 premium kernel: umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 
2

May 30 20:12:52 premium kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
May 30 20:12:52 premium kernel: da0:  Removable Direct 
Access SCSI-0 device


Note, however, that there's a 4 minute time gap between umass0 and da0 lines.

Since my machine doesn't have any support for reading the HFS (or is it 
HFS+?) file system which is what the iPod has out of the box, I couldn't 
however mount any slices from da0. I tried disconnecting and re-connecting 
the iPod a few times and now the umass0 line appears but the da0 line doesn't 
appear at all, even after waiting for 40 minutes.


I went to a Windows PC with USB2 ports and connected the iPod to that. It was 
recognized immediately and re-formatted as FAT32. Back to my FreeBSD PC and 
there's no change - when plugging in the iPod, the umass0 line appears in 
dmesg, but the da0 line doesn't.


What would be the best course of action to get the iPod talking to my FreeBSD 
box?

- install an add-on USB 2.0 card ?
- update the PC-s BIOS to latest version (there is a newer version than
 the one I'm running now)?
- update to latest -STABLE (current checkout is from May 10)?
- wipe FreeBSD and install Windows? (just kidding!!!)
- something else?

nameserver changing

[Vizion]

Hi

I want to be able to automatically remove/add one or more dns servers from the 
list of dns's used as resolvers by particular machine(s) on a network which I 
control from data stored in a file in each computer. 
e.g file might contain lines such as:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx remove  dns xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx adddns xxx.xxx.xxx
None of the machines are running their own dns servers.
The changes will be initiated by cron.

Don't ask me why I need to do it -- the answer is far too complicated :-)

Suggestions please

david

No that's not simple, sorry.  That's whining that I find totally useless.

Just hit RETURN when prompted for a password.  *THAT* is simple :-)

I honestly fail to see how all this whining helps improve the state of
the FTP server or in any way advances the state of FreeBSD as a
community.  Why can't you just hit RETURN and be done with it?

It seems to be a problem of ncftp then.  Have you, by any chance, used
any fancy CFLAGS when building the ncftp port?

Cups samba printing very slow!

[Vittorio De Martino]

At last I have been able to set up cups under kde 3.4 to print from my laptop 
with freebsd 5.4 to an epson stylus color 640 printer connected to another pc 
seen by cups in the laptop both as an ipp printer under freebsd 5.4 (seen 
from the laptop as the cups server)  AND - more frequently - as an smb 
printer under windows XP. 
The network connection from the laptop on which run both samba and cupsd and 
the pc is made by means of a wireless 11Mb card and an access point.

While printing to the windows XP pc through samba by means of 
lpr -Psmbepson file
is pretty fast and immediate, printing from an application like kword, 
konqueror which format the text takes at least 1.5-2 minutes to start, 
against few seconds with a direct parallel port connection and  about a 
bearable 30-45 secs with an ipp printer connection to the freebsd box.

Are those differences acceptable ot there's something to be improved?
in case of a no, what should I check?

Yep, I understand that. The 'drive' has already been formatted to fat32. 
That happened when I installed the iPod software to a Windows PC and 
connected iPod to it.


Meanwhile, back at my FreeBSD machine, I booted up with a Knoppix 3.7 CD 
and could mount the iPod successfully as /dev/sda2 and see some 
directories on it (/Calendar, /Notes and whatnot). I'm now upgrading my 
FreeBSD to today's 5-STABLE, and if that won't help I'll put in an 
add-on PCI card with USB2 ports.


Upgrading the BIOS of my ASUS P3B-F motherboard to latest non-beta 
version (1006) didn't seem to have any effect on this issue.


Read over the info at the ipod linux site.  That should clear things up

I've been reading all those sites for past couple of days. It just seems 
that things that work for other people for some reason don't work for me :)

Since when does asking a simple question become whining? 

Being rude to someone who asks a simple question does not answer the question. 

Rudeness can sometimes be accounted for if the responder is uncomfotable 
either because s/he does not know the answer or someone finds the question 
uncomfortable.

I am not the only one who uses ftp manually -- if there is a reasonable 
immutable reason for keeping it at 15 seconds or less, then is the time to 
stop asking. In the meantime I not feel there is any justification for 
rudeness or aggression.

The question is why 15 seconds for one machine and a minute for another?
The second question is there a sound reason for not changing the machine set 
at 15 seconds => 45 seconds?

You could use the "template" file as a source and generate a shell
script that will be scp'ed and executed on each host.  If you have enoug
time, you could write a Perl script that will read this format:

10.0.0.0/8  remove  *
10.0.0.0/8  add 10.0.0.2

and then create one Perl script for every host.  The script could be
scp'ed (if you have SSH keys set up correctly) and run remotely, with
something like:

# cat scripts/10.0.0.1.sh | ssh -l root 10.0.0.1

I meant to say the other weird thing is that ncftp returns the correct ip 
address when using the  ncftp lookup option... so like you say there seems to 
be a bug somewhere.

thanks - that sounds reasonable --  is freebsd configured to refer  to 
etc/hosts to look up the dns server ips on every occasion or do I have to 
reload?

Jim,

Even without setting up some sort of fancy interrupt thing, of course 
you can get a script to time out.


In fact, I think you'd WANT the script to time out, even if it was 
getting input from syslog, because if syslog were spewing warning 
messages, you'd want the script to let go and send its warnings.


Script would look something like:

/etc/hosts is consulted every time a lookup is done.  No reload is
necessary.

NOTE: You may have to tweak your /etc/hosts.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf
to make sure hosts is checked before dns.

FreeBSD uses /etc/resolv.conf to find DNS servers.  In my experience, any
changes to that file take effect immediately, with no reboot or other
magic required.

XFS on FreeBSD

The ftp server at ooopackages.good-day.net appears to be having
intermittent problems -- it was not working properly for a while, then
it was working for a few days, and at the moment it appears to be not
working again.

I was able to download the source from there yesterday or the day
before -- it does build nicely (though it takes an astonishly long
time -- I guess that's well known).

There are other locations to get the source code -- the name of the
file is different, but the contents appear to be the same. However (as
of a couple of days ago) I could only find m104 elsewhere, not m105.

 Yes it sure does -- that is what is puzzling me
 I get the same:

 dns1# host ftp.freebsd.org
 ftp.freebsd.org has address 204.152.184.73
 ftp.freebsd.org has address 62.243.72.50
 ftp.freebsd.org has IPv6 address 2001:4f8:0:2::e

Well I solved the problem. I took a look at the source.
Two of my five names servers were down. It seems that the lookup ortion doesnt 
really care about how long it waits for a return from a dns server but open 
does. Hence the difference. When I shifted the dns server priorities around 
(left the same servers in the file but put the out of action one at the 
bottom then ncftp works fine!!
Of course both dig and hosts have liong time outs as well !!

HP DL360-P4 slow network writes

[Kent Ketell]

Hi,

I have been using HP DL360-G3 and G4 servers for various tasks and have
found that latest batch to have a problem with network writes being VERY
slow.  Reads are fine.  Local reads/writes are fine.  It's just network
writes that are hurting me.

I have tried installing Intel server NICs in the systems with no
difference.  I have tried going to different switches with no
difference.  I have tried changing the Cat5 cables with no differences.

I installed RedHat on the same exact box and did not have the same slow
write speeds.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

This is all I have on my system (its from www.freebsd.org):
_
SGI XFS port for FreeBSD

Contact: Alexander Kabaev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Contact: Russell Cattelan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Not much has changed since last report was submitted. The read-only access XFS 
volumes is quite stable now. The work is underway to rewrite xfs_buf layer to 
minimize local changes intrusiveness. Initial attempt to make XFS code to 
compile and run on amd64 is in progress too.

We really need a care-taker for our userland tools.

 Well having just solved what I thought was a weird problem using ncftp which 
IO eventually tracked down to a dns problem - can I with little solid 
justication suggest you carefully check out your dns servers -- see which one 
are working really well and whether you have any unexpected delays.

Its the only thing I can think of off the top of my head

Well depends upon what order your dns servers are in the list - if you 
happened to have a duff dns being accessed first on yr freebsd box it might 
slow stuff down - if you can be certain they were in the same order on the 
redhat that would rule out dns as a cause. However I have usually not paid 
too much attention to what order they appear..now I will :-)

booting an logical partition

[FreeBSD MailingLists]

is the FreeBSD boot manager  capable of booting a logical partition?

I have am setting up a multi-boot system and it looks like I will have
to put linux on a logical partition.  will boot0 recoginze the logical
partition as bootable?

TIA,
Tomoki Taniguchi

0) I installed samba from the ports /usr/ports/net/samba

1) I have a shared printer on my windows machine, the printer share is
   named APPLE, as I use win2k, the printer is accessible to the user
   "printer", the win2k machine name is "olivier". I set-up a password
   to protect my win2k printer.

   For win98, it would be the same, but there is not user.

2) I create an entry in /etc/printcap, the entry is like:

# printers attached to users machine (Windows)
on-printer:\
:sd=/var/spool/on-printer:\
:mx=0:rs:sh:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:if=/usr/spool/smb-printer:

3) I create the directory /var/spool/on-printer

4) I create the configuration file /var/spool/on-printer/.config that
   contains (please put the password as defined in 1):

server = olivier
service = APPLE
password = ***
user = printer
domain = olivier

   Note that server and domain are the same!

5) I installed the script /usr/spool/smb-printer. This script works
   for win98 and win2k. It does a little bit of file coding, changing
   CR into CRLF for the files that are not PostScript or PCL.

#!/usr/bin/perl

require "flush.pl";

##  $logfile="smb-print.log";
##  # or $logfile=/dev/null;
$logfile="/dev/null";

##  open LOG, ">>$logfile";

##  }
$loggererr="/usr/bin/logger -i -t print_quota -p lpr.err";
$loggerinfo="/usr/bin/logger -i -t print_quota -p lpr.info";

$mess="SMB print job: -wd ".`pwd`;

for ($i=0; $i<=$#ARGV; $i++) {
$mess.="$ARGV[$i] ";
}

DNS and Gateway in FreeBSD?

[Xu Qiang]

Hi, all: 

In setting up my FreeBSD machine in my LAN, I only assigned it an ip address 
and a netmask, just as the handbook said 
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html).
 

But after that, it can identify the proxy server's name even i didn't give it 
an explicit DNS server ip address. (It can ping proxy.abc.com) And I found the 
gateway is also found automatically by the machine. (It is automatically added 
into the line beginnin with "defaultrouter=")

Is it designed behavior? I can't understand that. :(

Regards,
Xu Qiang

heimdal on 5.4

[jay alvarez]

Good day,

I've already installed heimdal and was able to run kdc
daemon. Now I'm ready to test everything but.. I'm not
sure if I'm on the right track... Maybe you can help
me.

Here are the actual steps I've committed:
1. install heimdal on a computer which will run
KDC(gaheris)

2. install heimdal on a computer which will run
kerberized applications(gwenever)

2.a install heimdal on a computer which will be the
client requesting a service ticket for use with
gwenever(galahad)


3. edit krb5.conf on gaheris and scp it to gwenever
and galahad

4. create a master key by running kstash and init the
realm...
on gaheris:
# init CAMLANN.PREGI.NET

5. add a service principal for a kerberized ftp that
will be running on gwenever,
on gaheris:
# kadmin -l
kadmin>add ftp/gwenever.camlann.pregi.net

6. then extract its key
kadmin>ext --keytab=/tmp/gwenever.keytab
ftp/gwenever.camlann.pregi.net

7. Now scp this key to /etc of gwenever
scp /tmp/gwenever.keytab [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc

8. edit gwenever's krb5.conf such that the keytab
says:
default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/gwenever.keytab

9. edit the inetd.conf such that ftp service is
enabled but the exact path of ftpd executable is
located on /usr/local/heimdal/libexec/ftpd

10. Now on a client machine(galahad)
# kinit ftp/gwenever.camlann.pregi.net

I entered the password and running klist gives me:

Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Principal:
ftp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Issued   ExpiresPrincipal
Jun  1 10:33:35  >>>Expired<<< 
krbtgt/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My BIG question is.. now what??=)

I'm assuming I'm supposed to use the kerberized
clients insided /usr/local/heimdal/bin right? But how?

Am, I on the right track or I am missing something
very important here. How about the kdc.conf?? I
haven't encountered it and yet kdc daemon started
without any error. 

I have attached below my complete krb5.conf
I'm running on those three computers I've mentioned
above...

# uname -a
FreeBSD gaheris.camlann.pregi.net 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD
5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May  8 10:21:06 UTC 2005

OK this is not much to go but lets see if you can puick up this very looose 
ball and run with it. I happen to have what is now a pretty old proliant in 
one of my server rooms. Now when I installed freebsd on that system (about 
4/5 years ago) I have a vague memory of having to do something to the bios to 
make freebsd run properly. There may be some notes on HP's web site (my 
experience has been they are good for reference) perhaps you mmight find 
something by sculling around on HP's website -- look for operating system 
trouble shooting guides under support and your product ID DL360. If I remeber 
correctly I had to get a Proliant essential foundation pack to get the 
machine set up correctly. 

That is the only thing I can think of right now -- you seem to have 
effectively ruled out the dns issue. So now we are looking at hardware or 
freebsd's own configuration.

I am sorry I cannot be of more help

New ports in -RELEASE

[Ron Gilbert]

I am running 5.3-RELEASE, and I need the latest version for Subversion 
(1.2.0), but the packages and ports pull down 1.1.4.


I assume this is because 1.2.0 is not in the RELEASE distribution.

Freshports.org says 1.2.0 is the latest, but it doesn't tell me what 
distribution (RELEASE/STABLE/etc).


How can I get the latest versions of things?  I've asked this questions 
before, but the answers are just as cryptic as the problem (to me 
anyway).  I've read several articles on cvsup and they all talk about 
things differently, and I'm not even sure this is what I need.


Is there a way for me to just get Subversion 1.2.0 installed on my 
machine (I already have 1.1.4)?


Is there a configuration to tell the ports to get and make STABLE 
versions instead of RELEASE?


This is very confusing, and the last thing I need is to do something 
wrong and bring my whole machine down.  That is why I am reluctant to 
follow the complex instructions around cvsup (if that is even what I 
need).


Or can someone point me to some very clear instructions for cvsup, that 
doesn't make a assumptions about me already being a FreeBSD guru?  Does 
cvsups fix my problem?


Installing a -RELEASE version and then wanting the latest ports seems 
like a common desire, but it is not addressed very clearly.


Thanks for any help.

Ron

I also have 5.3 and my ports tree, which is kept up to date with cvsup, has 
version 1.2 of subversion in the ports tree.

cvsup is NOT difficult to use -- in fact quite simple. Just install it, take a 
look at the cvsup examples /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ and make a few cahnges 
in the files and you are away. I would suggest you consider keeping two 
cvsupfiles. One for ports and docs and one for sources. If you do not keep 
you system up to date, you run the risk and installing incompatible files.

One other thing to note is that ports has no branches like src does, so if 
you cvsup your ports tree you're getting the latest ports as of that moment.


For ports I put the following in /usr/ports/sup and then do cvsup 
/usr/ports/sup


*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all


Similarly I use this for src:

*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

make sure to change the "tag=" to match whatever branch you're interested 
in getting.

Hey Kent,

  You need to remove Windows and install FreeBSD on those!

  Oh, your already running FreeBSD?  I didn't see a version or
dmesg output.

  Like in car parts, they don't sell you the air filter unless you
give them the make, model and year!!!

(PS, it might also help to know what kind of app are you using to make
