ccd usage
Greetings, I'm planning a new install and my question regards the usage of ccd. I have two disks of 30G and 20G. Is it possible to use ccd to create a single /usr partition across these two disks? How might this be done? Can it be done from the sysinstall menu off the boot disk or will I need to do some toying around after initial install is completed? Also, while not part of the ccd question, if I'm not mistaken, I can create multiple swap partitions to spread swap usage across multiple drives. Is this true? Thanks in advance.

From a practical standpoint I would think that the marketing department of any RAID card manufacturer would throw up their hands in horror if a engineer suggested doing it this way - the marketing people would say that the buyers of the card would think it was broken if they didn't see blinky lights on all the disk drives all the time. :-) You see many otherwise good designs fucked up this way by marketing people. :-( > > Placing exactly the same amount of head movement on both disks > > means that if you setup a mirror with new disks of the same model, > > which is pretty much how most people do it, the MTBF on both disks > > is the same, and if you put equal activity on both disks your making > > a very good chance that they will fail at the same time, or >very close > > to the same time. > >This assumes a small standard deviation --- much smaller than I would >think is reasonable.

(or the other disk manufacturers) Seagate wrote a paper on this titled: "Seagate Technology Paper 338.1 Estimating Drive Reliability in Desktop Computers and Consumer Electronic Systems" that explains how they define MTBF. Basically, they define MTBF as what percentage of disks will fail in the FIRST year. What they are saying is if you purchase 160 Cheetahs and run them at 100% duty cycle for 1 year then there is 100% chance that 1 out of the 160 will fail. Thus, if you only purchase 80 disks and run them at 100% duty cycle for 1 year, then you only have a 50% chance that 1 will fail. And so on. Ain't statistics grand? You can make them say anything! For an encore Seagate went on to prove that their CEO would live 3 centuries by statistical grouping. :-) So, in getting back to the gist of what I was saying, the issue is as you mentioned standard deviation. I think we all understand that in a disk drive assembly line that it's all robotic, and that there is an extremely high chance that disk drives that are within a few serial numbers of each other are going to have virtually identical characteristics. In fact I would say using the Seagate MTBF definition, that 1 in every 160 drives manufactured in a particular run is going to have a significant enough deviation to fail at a significantly different period of time, given identical workload. In short you have better than 99% chance that if you install 2 brand new Cheetahs that are from the same production run, they will have virtually identical characteristics. And, failure due to wear is going to be very similar - there's only so many times the disk head can seek before it's bearings are worn out - and your proposing to give them the exact same usage. The interesting thing about this is that as quoted MTBF goes up, the closer and closer to identical all your disk drives have to be. So the funny thing is that in a RAID-1 array, your better off with cheapo Barracutas which have much greater deviation between each drive, than the more expensive Cheetahs that have less deviation between each drive. > >I agree with all of this.

In other words, you wasted your money on your fast disks, if you had used slower disks you would see identical read performance but you would see less alternative flickering and more simultaneous and continuous activity.

Re: Firewall with USB
Hi, USB is not totally irrelevant, since it means I can't connect my firewall/router directly to my input, but I take your point. I will have USB connections to my ISDN upload and my satellite decoder, my question was more whether freebsd firewall supports USB devices in principle for the WAN or whether it will only take ethernet WAN and LAN. I guess the answer was yes, so long as the drivers for my external devices exist.

If support is what hinges on getting I am not talking of the support people get by paying for it. Just go to any support forum, mailing list or what ever name it has and compare the tone used there. The support is done by volunteers just like here. While people asking 'dumb' questions around FreeBSD just get a RTFM while the same question around Windows might gives them a lot of verbal abuse plus the answer. If a person wastes its time to write 'RTFM', the same person could also write 'RTFM at page xx' and the answer is useful. If people with no knowledge would get proper answers when they run into problems instead of the hint to read the manual would help a lot here. Why should they? If they were paying someone for FreeBSD support that is one thing. Nobody is getting paid to answer questions on the mailing list and on Usenet, if a no-knowledge person asks a question that is answered in the manual, then it is going overboard already, to even tell them to RTFM. They really shouldn't be asking questions if they haven't RTFMed. Why do I hear people crying about the acceptance of FreeBSD in this list?

It may help some people making money off servicing those people, but otherwise they are deadweight. Then, never complain that FreeBSD does not reach a higher market share. You know, even raw newbies who have RTFM can help the FreeBSD project by answering posts on the support forums with pointers to the manual!! Yes, just let them do so. But it happens to rearely. Proper help is in the manual, it is in my book, and in Greg Lehey's book, and in several other books written by a number of people. My book is I have to take my neighbour with her Ph.D. in biology again. We can assume she has proven not to be a plain idiot. She got some of the book, looked at them for some days and said 'why should I study IT before I can use FreeBSD'. I am sorry you are going to have to do better than that. The proper help is out there, you just have to spend a little effort looking for it. It is out there but written in a language a none IT person has problems with.

;namettlclasstypedata
Would:
;record class pointer name

But in that case, printf seems to take 2 successive %d and split the variable upon them to make it a %lld. I am no C guru, but that sound very bad to me.

No, you could update to 5.5R without issue. In fact, moving to 6.0R from 5.x without having to re-install like going from 4.x to 5.x is the plan Personally, I would update to RELENG_5 as of today.

Yes. It may seem daunting or "primitive" at first, but eventually you may start enjoying the fact that you don't constantly have to fight with multilevel, deeply nested, ever changing manu hierarchies to find that particular option that you know exists somewhere, but for the life of you can't right now remember where :-) Being able to just fire up your favorite editor and search using common "search" operations for strings like "disk", or "usb" (possibly repeating the search within the rest of the file with a single keystroke), is actually very very cool, once you get the hang of it. >2) Is there a complete list of features which can be enabled for the > kernel, other what was in the GENERIC configuration file? The GENERIC configuration file is just, well, a "generic" configuration file that is used as the kernel configuration when preparing the FreeBSD release CD-ROMs. It also serves as a common reference point for troubleshooting, which is a lot easier when there is a single "reference config" instead of a billion, custom, personalized configuration sets. Note that I'm not arguing that Linux *does*, in fact, use ``a billion, custom, personalized configuration sets''. Just that this is one of the roles GENERIC fulfills. In general, modern versions of FreeBSD include at least the following too: /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES /usr/src/sys//conf/NOTES The first is the complete set of machine & architecture-independent options that the kernel supports. The files described by the second set are currently: % # ls -l /usr/src/sys/*/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2160 Nov 11 2004 /usr/src/sys/alpha/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 15923 Jun 16 01:53 /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 33439 Jun 23 04:18 /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1781 Feb 26 10:33 /usr/src/sys/ia64/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24728 May 27 02:06 /usr/src/sys/pc98/conf/NOTES % -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3344 Jun 11 03:26 /usr/src/sys/sparc64/conf/NOTES and they contain architecture-dependent options for the specific architecture. >3) What is needed for the FreeBSD kernel and what modules need to be > compiled in order to use IDE CD-burning.

Strip them off.
You didn't specify which zone this file was a database for, but looking at the
commented lines it seems like it's the reverse resolution database for
10.0.0.0/8 (your internal network). DNS records in zone files like this one
refer to addresses "relative" to the zone itself, which is probably defined as
the following in your named.conf configuration file:
zone "0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "master/10.0.0.rev";
};
This definition of the zone in named.conf declares that addresses of the form
10.0.0.X will be looked up as PTR records of X in the file "master/10.0.0.rev"
under you named server root directory, i.e.
ADDRESS DB-FILE RECORD
10.0.0.1master/10.0.0.rev 1
10.0.0.2master/10.0.0.rev 2
...
10.0.0.254 master/10.0.0.rev 254
Usually, the most tricky part is grasping that "1.0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA." is
what BIND looks up to find the name (or names) associated with the address
10.0.0.1 (note the reversed byte order of the address parts).
> ;namettlclasstypedata
> 1INPTRlocalhost
> 1 INPTRsage
> 220 INPTRethic
> 247 INPTRtao
> 249 INPTRzen
These look mostly ok, but you may want to fix the following:
- "localhost" is usually assigned to 127.0.0.1, not 10.0.0.1
- the "IN" column is *NOT* the TTL (time to live) of a record

As long as the fans come on appropriately and the CPU temp stays in the normal range you should be okay (if a bit warm).

This is a sure test to ensure RAID is working. Mind you, I also back up using rsync for critical stuff to another box, and to tape as well. Luckily we did the rsync and tape stuff (though it hasn't been needed yet). I guess you need not just the spare hardware (which is possible if you have more than one server to start with and two can come out at the same time) but the maintenance window to a) pop the disk and then b) rebuild the RAID afterwards.

Are the shared printers in the 192.168.0/24 subnet? Are they
connected to workstation that get their IP through DHCP? What are you
using for workstation name resolution? What are you using for a port
type on the windows machines, \\workstation\printer?
is it DSL<-->firewall<--> workstations&printers?
Looks to me like it is a name resolution thing. Your DNS servers are
outside your subnet and probably doesn't know what is in your network.
Answer these questions and I can probably give you some ideas.
Cheers,
Rick

I know this technique isn't feasable in all situations, but I try to have duplicate hardware. Especially with my IDE RAID1 servers, I'll from time to time during a maintenance window pop one of the RAID disks out, throw it in another box and ensure BOTH machines boot up with individual disks. This is a sure test to ensure RAID is working. Mind you, I also back up using rsync for critical stuff to another box, and to tape as well.

I have a box with the same chipset. I have 2 160GB SATA drives in a RAID1 config, which FBSD 5.4 sees 2 disks, as opposed to the single RAID subsystem. I install on one of the disks. However, when I reboot the box, I get a flashing cursor in the top left corner of the screen as if it's going to boot, but it stays there. No errors nothing.

That's the way it is. ...and most likely because they are the type who don't want to learn 'how' it works, they just want it to work. Bill Gates knows this, and counts on it. Linux is trying to make itself more 'user friendly' to compete with Microsoft. I hope FreeBSD never tries to make itself 'simpler' to operate to gain market share. Myself, I find it easy to operate, moreover, I can type faster than I can move the mouse and point/click, so being able to do something in Windows or Linux rather than at the command line is only in the eye of the beholder. (Note that I use XP as my workstation, but I usually have 10 or 12 SSH sessions open ;) > Same goes with linux. If it just sounds powerful, and hard > for people to get their hands dirty by just setting one up > and see what it looks like and maybe how it works, then linux > wouldn't be this popular now. Linux has come a long way from 10 years ago. It's just as easy, if not in some cases easier than Windows to set up. However, with sysinstall, I can get a FBSD system up in less than 8 minutes, with custom FW ruleset, online, updating with cvsup and preparing to install a custom kernel. No gooey crap to waste resources, nothing extra I don't want, just straight up what I want. Sure the first couple installs may take some time to read and find out about, but I much rather spending <20 average per box with FreeBSD than the hour and a half to get a Window server up and installed for Internet use for a client. > You would hear that "Someone has burned a linux CD and just > don't have time to install it, but linux is easy and sounds > really cool and makes people curious", and you wouldn't hear > the same thing about freebsd. > Most of the none unix IT friends I have all had a "EXTREMELY HARD" > impression on Freebsd, and they found linux extremely easy. Sure. FreeBSD I don't think is meant to be cool and appeal to the UNIX IT personnel. It's designed to work, and work hard. Those who spend their work hours maintaining a large core infrastructure aren't interested in cool. Business managers and clients are interested in 'make it work, make it work reliably without downtime'. Words like 'cool' generally don't impress them, and 'cool' generally means that I have to respond to frequent problems, errors, crashes. My cool is less work, less time spent so I can do more important things :) > That's indeed not true. It really only takes a normal person > several hours to flip through the HANDBOOK to at least know > his/her way around, and this is really as "easy" as linux. Agreed. I even read the FM's for new devices/purchases I make. I want to ensure I get full value out of things that I use/buy/aquire. It's those who buy a new camera, throw the manual out with the box as soon as it's opened, and get angry because x feature won't work, or they can't figure out how to do something so they bitch about it. IMHO, the handbook will get a box set up even for a reasonable newbie. > But, it make sence, that people would like to see the > product, before using it or even know more about it. Much > like a person would prefer trying out a service for free > before he/she decides to invest more money and time into it. That's what the docs, lists and other professionals that use FBSD are for. Myself, I'll answer any question about FBSD that I can, because so much info was so freely given to me. They didn't build Rome in a day, nor can you expect to get a full picture of the usefulness of FBSD in a day either. > Also, one must first be a newbie in something, then become > more and more professional while he/she is learning. Of course. Many of my clients call themselves stupid for making a mistake. I disagree with them. Although there are many, many incoherent users I feel like choking sometimes, I generally tell them no one knows everything. If one wants to learn they must educate themselves...this goes for everything. > A lot of you might be good at Freebsd, but very new to something else. > Would you prefer to hear someone telling you, "Hey!

I would personally assume that anyone who has ventured seriously into FreeBSD (I started with Linux for a week, then jumped right into FBSD and now run an entire ISP with it) has had their head into several books. My opinion is that most who run FBSD, run it because they like it, enjoy it and completely appreciate it's features, rock-solid reliability, and excellent documentation (IMHO) and help networks. Most who use it to this extent have no problem reading the books, as others have said because they want/need to learn whats under the hood. There have been times where I have been in a jam, and didn't RTFM before making a post, but on the other hand, there have been times where I have helped someone out on FBSD areas I had to research on my own time just so I could familiarize myself with it to help them. It's my belief that you must be serious to get a FBSD box running at full tilt, tuned right out, but you need not be an expert to get one up and running. There's no way I would use a butter knife to cut down a tree (use Windows for infrastructure), nor would I use a chainsaw to cut the butter (use a full scale FBSD server to browse the web). It's all in what you want and/or need. The docs are there. As it was pointed out, you need not be a developer, but this is meant to be a serious OS for serious people. If one wants to learn the ways of FreeBSD, in reality, the handbook, google and the lists are your friends. Most everyone I know who uses FBSD document their learning and experiences, and post it on websites for everyone to learn from (including myself). Sometimes it is clear cut and dry, and other times (especially with new, unprecedented procedures), you must piece-meal different peoples experiences into your own.

Remember doorman creates firewall rules on the fly to allow the TCP packets pass through the firewall and then removes them at the close of the session. Your firewall rules must pass inbound udp packets on port 1001. If you have that closed in you firewall rules doorman will never be triggered. I found running doormand -D will display any config file syntax errors to the console. If you change from the default /var/log/messages log file you have to give the new log file permission of rwx just for root user. That maybe why you see nothing in your custom log. I have not got it working yet on allowing telnet in from public internet. I am testing it using ipfilter firewall. You also have to create /usr/local/etc/rc.d/doormand.sh script so doormand will be started at boot time.

Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
After all, someone is trying to do something good for freebsd, by making freebsd known by more and more people. Most people are lazy, we tend to prefer immediate results rather than a long term process and commitment. I think this is understandable. Of course, there will be a lot of newbies coming, some of them will stay and some of them will find it too difficult, and leave. That's the way it is. Same goes with linux. If it just sounds powerful, and hard for people to get their hands dirty by just setting one up and see what it looks like and maybe how it works, then linux wouldn't be this popular now. You would hear that "Someone has burned a linux CD and just don't have time to install it, but linux is easy and sounds really cool and makes people curious", and you wouldn't hear the same thing about freebsd. Most of the none unix IT friends I have all had a "EXTREMELY HARD" impression on Freebsd, and they found linux extremely easy. That's indeed not true. It really only takes a normal person several hours to flip through the HANDBOOK to at least know his/her way around, and this is really as "easy" as linux. But, it make sence, that people would like to see the product, before using it or even know more about it. Much like a person would prefer trying out a service for free before he/she decides to invest more money and time into it. Also, one must first be a newbie in something, then become more and more professional while he/she is learning. A lot of you might be good at Freebsd, but very new to something else. Would you prefer to hear someone telling you, "Hey! This is only for Professional! There is not even a newbie version for you! So don't slow us down by getting out of our way!" That's not friendly at all, right? I perfectly agree that Freebsd is a serious OS from serious people, that's why I choose freebsd :) and I would rather see freebsd be more and more popular than linux!!! Truely!!! It is indeed a very good OS. So let's be nice, and find ways help the new comers without disturbing the ones, who are not interested in the easy questions, instead of turning them away.

Re: Raising temperature threshold
Hi, I don't think it is advisable to put your machine under such strain. I think 60C is already very hot for regular parts, and that it is proper that the machine would shutdown . Unless you have a special military kind of hardware, I am sure that more than 60C will reduce the MTBF of your hardware, and maybe void your warranty if you have one. It would be interesting to know if that setting can be changed to a _lower_ value, in fact. -- # Bruno Gallant - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That is why I do not believe this is a hardware problem. In any case, the machines are in a cold room where the temperature is constantly maintained. 20 other servers in there are perfectly stable, with no probs. This particular machine that crashed last night while running portsdb -uU is a Super Micro machine, with hyperthreading disabled in the bios, dual CPU 3.06 ghz, with 4 gigs memory. We ran mem test on orion (the machine that crashed last night) a week or so ago, and it found 70,000 ECC errors. Those were fixed and that machine has been stable until last night. I've now disabled SMP support, we'll see if that keeps it stable or not. Portsdb -uU ran without problems after I disabled SMP. As far as uranus, the other box (we keep a planet scheme for a certain set of servers), we ran memtest86 and found no errors at all. That box crashed about two days ago but has been stable since. It has not lasted more than a week without doing a kernel trap and freezing. It seems that both these servers have this problem. Out of the five FreeBSD servers we have, these two are the ones with the highest load. Maybe a higher load on the other three servers would cause the same problem. I agree with you that this is a hardware problem, but on more than one server with two different architectures and our highest load makes me re-consider. If this is truly a bug in FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, maybe this is something that has been fixed in -stable? I will compile a debug kernel today and try to provide a trace to the problem.

Re: FreeBSD Machines dieing, we've tried so much....
The vast majority of panics are hardware-related. It is rare nowadays for a usermode program to make the system panic. In particular you said the problem happens more under load. That really points even more to a hardware problem - bad CPU cache ram, bad ram, scsi termination, that sort of thing. Ted This is kind of going to be a blanket post to all the recent suggestions to me. I appreciate suggestions :) Ted, sorry, my other posts had dmesg and hardware specs, etc. I just couldn't remember the subject line of that thread. I'll be more descriptive here. We have two different servers crashing. Both are SMP, but on different hardware. We have five freeBSD servers in total, and only two are affected. That is why I do not believe this is a hardware problem. In any case, the machines are in a cold room where the temperature is constantly maintained. 20 other servers in there are perfectly stable, with no probs. This particular machine that crashed last night while running portsdb -uU is a Super Micro machine, with hyperthreading disabled in the bios, dual CPU 3.06 ghz, with 4 gigs memory. We ran mem test on orion (the machine that crashed last night) a week or so ago, and it found 70,000 ECC errors. Those were fixed and that machine has been stable until last night. I've now disabled SMP support, we'll see if that keeps it stable or not. Portsdb -uU ran without problems after I disabled SMP. As far as uranus, the other box (we keep a planet scheme for a certain set of servers), we ran memtest86 and found no errors at all. That box crashed about two days ago but has been stable since. It has not lasted more than a week without doing a kernel trap and freezing. It seems that both these servers have this problem. Out of the five FreeBSD servers we have, these two are the ones with the highest load. Maybe a higher load on the other three servers would cause the same problem. I agree with you that this is a hardware problem, but on more than one server with two different architectures and our highest load makes me re-consider. If this is truly a bug in FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, maybe this is something that has been fixed in -stable? I will compile a debug kernel today and try to provide a trace to the problem.

Generating coredump's from within a signal handler.
Hi all! I'm writing a program that when receiving a SIGTERM shall generate a coredump of itself and exit. This coredump shall be analysed later on using gdb. I've tried to raise(SIGABRT) when handling SIGTERM, this generates a coredump, but the stack seems messed up when examining it with gdb. Sending SIGABRT directly instead of SIGTERM to the process gives a readable coredump but this is not a solution to my problem.

clamav build link error (reference to gethostbyname_r)
I just updated my ports and found that clamav was due for upgrade. Problem is it won't build because of a gethostbyname_r reference. During the configuration stage, it seems to find a gethostbyname_r: checking for gethostbyname_r... yes, and it takes 5 arguments I can't find any reference to gethostbyname_r in the manpages, except for the LWRES_GETHOSTENT(3) manpage. I don't think this is what it refers to, since lwres_gethostbyname_r() takes 4 arguments, not 5.

Re: support for ICH6R controller and Broadcom ethernet
Hi Jim, I think it's not a answer to you but here is my recent experience. I've installed FBSD 5.4 in a box with Intel ICH5R chipset. It's working, no hangs, no panics, but the disk performance on the second IDE disk (I'm not using RAID, just simple master/slave setup), is terrible. It's like the DMA was not correctly set on the second disk. I read somewhere, that FreeBSD has full support to ICH5 chipset but NOT for ICH5"R". Even when running in "compatibility mode" set on BIOS, the performance is the same. Someone told me the follwing on the performance list: "I remember a commit to the ata driver to fix misprogramming of DMA timing on an Intel chipset for devices and/or channels other than the first. I'm not sure if 5.4 has the bug or the fix."

That really points even more to a hardware problem - bad CPU cache ram, bad ram, scsi termination, that sort of thing. Ted Just as an example of what Ted is saying. About 3 or 4 years ago I had installed some new "server" main boards for AMD CPUs. The "chipset" was a split chipset that had a "northbridge" by one vendor and a "southbridge" by another vendor. One was an AMD chip and one was a VIA chip. (The AMD supported ECC etc unlike all the other brands of that same chip functionality). Under load (using Adaptec RAID controllers) the machine would freeze up. Finally, after much testing and ridiculous amounts of cooling (assuming it was a heat problem), I replaced the main boards with new ones that only used AMD chipsets for both the north and southbridge chips. Problem went away. These same boards work fine, including under load, with Windows, for example, and a test Linux install also did not have problems (though the Linux was not very well tested). My point is, that you can have some sort of HW problem that shows up under load and it may not be an pbvious one. Test you RAM first, using something like memtest86, and think about what other HW is in your machine(s) and whether you can swap it out for test purposes, etc. --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't think restore works reliably on NFS mounted disks but I have copied disks using dump/restore through ssh. I would not do a blind dump/restore of / or /var. Those filesystems can contain some installation specific information. I think the only thing out of / that you need to copy would be /etc and possibly /boot if you have a custom kernel. Just remember that a kernel install is not as simple as copying files. You don't need to copy /tmp since it should not contain any information that is needed to survive a reboot. Just reboot after you restore. As for /usr you should be able to dump/restore that one. If you have additional packages installed, you will also want to copy /var/db/pkg and possibly /var/db/ports. Likewise, if the system is a mail server, you will want to copy over the appropriate directory structure (typically /var/spool) but you need to make sure you don't copy over any of the spool files or your users are going to get 2 copies of the same message delivered. > Thanks for any advice. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ I am currently looking for work.

I am by no means an X setup expert. My technique is to choose hardware that is explicitly listed as compatible in the documentation (and early on in the probe list) but I did notice a few things: First, your output indicates that you don't yet have an xorg.conf setup. Try running xorgconfig from the command line and answering the questions very carefully. Go through the video card database and find your exact video card if you can when selecting the video card. Secondly, I noticed that xorg probed your video card as a radeon but it chose to use the generic ati driver. I think there is now an included radeon specific driver. Third, I believe that xorg defaults to a ps2 mouse/keyboard if your hardware has ps2 ports without even looking elsewhere. I used to have an old serial mouse and XFree86 failed to find it on hardware with ps2 ports. If I explicitly configured xorg to use the serial mouse there was no problems. On the mouse topic, I have since switched to using the FreeBSD moused console mouse utility and configuring xorg to use the sysmouse device instead. You have to configure this manually to get xorg to use the sysmouse properly. As for your logitech mouse, I've used those (serial, ps2, and usb) on various systems without a problem using moused so unless you are having hardware problems it should work fine. > During standard installation of freeBSD 5.4 my logitech USB 3 button mouse > fails to be detected, but when doing a post install mouse configuration the > pointer shows up and can be moved around when testing the mouse deamon. > Still, my mouse pointer is reported as missing when running Xorg -config > xorg.conf.new after that. > Using a USB to PS/2-adapter might do the trick, but adhering to moore's > law, my motherboard (Asus p4p800 deluxe) can't handle a PS/2 mouse for some > odd reason.

USB is irrelevant; you need to consider what kind of USB devices you using to connect. Having more than one external interface is not by itself a problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thank you. I used to use pptpclient (from the ports) but I think the vpn server supported pptp as well as l2tp.

support for ICH6R controller and Broadcom ethernet
I have asked this on freebsd-hardware but didn't hear anything so I hoped someone here could help... I am potentially buying a server with a Tyan Tomcat i7221 motherboard. I am unsure of the support in FreeBSD for the following: - ICH6R disk controller - Broadcom BCM5721 ethernet Ideally I would put FreeBSD 4.10 on the systems as we are already using this on several systems (these new servers unfortunately have to be different to the previous ones). FreeBSD 4.11 hardware compatibility says there is support for intel ICH5 as does the ata man page for FreeBSD 4.10. I've also checked the man page for ata on FreeBSD 5.4 and it says up to ICH5. I am aware that there is Broadcom support via the bge driver, the man page says "provides support for various NICs based on the Broadcom BCM570x". Haven't found any mention of what I assume is the later controller and the broadcom website doesn't have any mention of a Freebsd driver. Can anyone advise on support for these in version 4.10, if I need 5.4 or whether they will work at all?
