usb advice

[Jeff D. Hamann]

FreeBSD-ers,

I'm putting together a new amd64 system and would like to get some
feedback on using USB for devices. I have a machine with six USB ports
(two on the front) and I would like to use them much as I would on a
windows machine. The machine will sit (mostly) as a headless server and
only rarely will I need to connect directly to the machine (mostly I will
connect using SSH). When I do connect directly, I would love to be able to
simply plug in a mouse and keyboard into the two ports on the front of the
machine (automount?) and then yank them out when I'm done with my chores.
Is this even possible?

More importantly, I would like to utilize a USB hard drive connection
(maybe one of those hard drive cases for laptops) for creating a nightly
backup of the data on my hard drive. I could store much more data than
either tape drive of DVD drive and could rotate a couple of disks for
additional security. Can FreeBSD handle this or would I seimply need to
install the addtional hard drive within the machine itself and use it as a
backup? This isn't really an option since the backup would need to go off
site (vault storage).

I get the feeling that USB support on FreeBSD isn't grand and I'm working
with FreeBSD 6.0BETA4 right now and when I tried to automount a USB flash
drive, the machine rebooted when I pulled the drive out of the port.

Comments?

Jeff.

The Linuxes tend to run memtest86 from the hard drive; you can do
that on FreeBSD as well. See the following relevant messages:

I'm certainly no expert with vi, but I didn't receive the error once I
removed the / at the end of the line.  I just continued typing as if the
screen would never end.  Whatever didn't fit on a line simply continued
through on the next line.

Fixing a MBR (and more) that ??? trashed

[Gayn Winters]

I recently installed Windows 2000 and FreeBSD 5.4 on an old HP Pavilion
XG836.  [The FreeBSD installation was a breeze (Kudos to the FBSD
hardware team), while w2k was a disaster!  But, that's another story...]
For reasons of space and cabling (it is a very small box) I put the CD
as the master and the HDD as the slave on a single IDE cable so that the
HDD was ad1.  I dual booted using the FreeBSD Boot Manager.

Life was good until I wanted to add another disk.  The w2k operating
system, when booted, saw the new hardware, "installed" it, and demanded
that I reboot.  OK, but when I did, the FreeBSD boot manager was
trashed. Its menu looked like:

F1 ???
F2 FreeBSD
F5
Default: F#

I could not boot either operating system. In fact the only keys that did
anything were ctrl-alt-del!  I removed the new hardware and using Fixit
on the 5.4 release CD, I tried 
boot0cfg -B ad1  
This recovered the boot manager, and allowed me to boot w2k, but FBSD
wouldn't boot.  Pressing F2 in the boot menu still did nothing.

Fdisk indicated that the two slices were ok, and the disklabel in
sysinstall showed that the partitions in ad1s2 were fine, but the
mounting information was apparently gone.  If I went into Fixit,
disklabel (bsdlabel) indicated that the label on ad1s2 was bad.  I was a
little surprised, since I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that all the
corruption that w2k caused was in the Master Boot Record. I tried fixing
it with the disklabel in sysinstall without luck.  Back in Fixit mode, I
could execute bsdlabel -w ad1s2, I couldn't get bsdlabel -e ad1s2 to
work since I couldn't get an editor to run.  EDITOR was /mnt/stand/vi,
which didn't work and blanking EDITOR didn't work either.  Reinstalling
FreeBSD brought everything back.

Questions:
1.  What did/do I need to do to completely fix the Master Boot Record?
(Short of reinstalling FreeBSD!)
2.  Was the disk label on the FreeBSD slice ad1s2 really corrupted?  If
so, I tend to doubt that w2k did it; hence, the culprit would be ... me!
What did I do?
3.  I couldn't get sysinstall to fix this mess - even though I thought
it was fixing the FreeBSD partition mount points and applying a new BSD
Boot Manager.  I couldn't get these "fixes" to "commit".  Can sysinstall
fix this mess without reinstalling?
4.  How do I avoid this situation when I add another disk? (Other than
trash the w2k partition.)

TIA,

-gayn

pptp microsoft vpn

[Gunter Wambaugh]

I am sending this again because I haven't gotten any responses.  I  
refuse to believe that everyone on this mailing list has the good  
fortune of NOT using M$ VPNs.  Someone out there is just as unlucky  
as I am.  All I am asking for is an example ppp.conf, or  
alternative.  It doesn't have to be explained or annotated.  Like I  
said previously: Throw me a freakin' bone here!



I am having trouble connecting to my work VPN from my freebsd box.   
I seem to be authenticating okay, but I can't ping/ssh any of the  
boxes at work using hostnames or ips.  I have been able to connect  
from by ibook (Running OSX Tiger), so I am confident that its not a  
router/firewall or credentials issue.  Could someone please, please  
throw me a bone?  My Gentoo friends are starting to laugh at me  
because they got it working with "no problems".  The VPN server is  
using MPPE and MPPC.


My ppp.conf with some changes to protect the lame:

Re: grab video and sound bktr

[Gunter Wambaugh]

Ok, so I confirmed that the sound from my tv card is fed into the  
line in on my sound card.  I set the recording source to line and  
adjusted the volume levels so that my mixer looks is thus:

Recording source: line
Mixer vol  is currently set to  50:50
Mixer pcm  is currently set to  51:51
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 100:100
Mixer mic  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd   is currently set to  75:75

Mixer line1is currently set to 100:100
Mixer phin is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phoutis currently set to   0:0
Mixer videois currently set to  75:75

With that, I can run motv and use sox to grab the audio from the  
VHS.  But that still doesn't help me get both streams.  I have tried  
transcode and nuvrec (as root) with absolutely NO AUDIO.  I can't be  
the only one that has done this before!  Just show me a working cmd,  
or point me to a mailing list where someone might actually  
knowPLEASE.

Do you have a direct cable that connects your sound card to your
tv-card ?  If this is the case, the sound is just mere analog data
that goes out of the grabber card to the sound card, which means the
processor has nothing to do with sound. The system knows nothing about
the sound stream.
have a look at the wiring inside your pc to confirm that.

memory test off of a 'DISK-ON-KEY' device ... ?

[Marc G. Fournier]

I'm trying to run some tests on a new server that I'm putting together, 
and would like to run some memory tests ... I found memtest86, but it runs 
on floppies, which doesn't help me, since I don't have a floppy drive on 
this thing :(


I've been doing my BIOS updates using a bootable USB Disk-on-Key device, 
and am wondering if anyone knows of a way of either getting memtest86 to 
"write" to this device *or* something else I can run that would do 
similar?


I have FreeBSD 4.11 already installed, so if there is something *good* 
that I can just install from ports and run on the command line, that is 
cool too ...


Thanks ...

Someone clearly does not know how to use his vi editor very well.  I
placed the / at the end of a line thinking it was needed to continue the
rule on the next line.  Guess you don't need it using ascii text.

HP Pavillion laptop work with any version of FreeBSD?

[WOB]

I have never been able to get through an install of either 5.4 or 6.0 on 
my HP Pavillion zv5445us laptop.  Trying to install 5.4 would poweroff 
the latop, and 6.0 hangs during the install.  I have not tried 4.10, and 
was hoping I wouldn't have to.  I had tried earlier version of 5.x when 
they were out (5.3 I think).


I posted the error messages to the mobile list, and didn't get a 
response - I guess no one has this type of laptop. 

Has anyone had any luck with any version of FreeBSD on any version of HP 
Pavillion laptop?

What shell are the users using? If they're using 'tcsh' or certain

There was no timeout option with the shell I was using (the bourne shell 
/bin/sh)  However I did find the problem.  The router was timing out NAT 
translations after 10 min of no packets transversing.  This corresponded 
to my timeout.  I fixed the problem by editing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config


Uncommenting the line

ClientAliveInterval 300

and restarted sshd

This fixed my problem.

Those are different URLs, of course.  5.3 packages are no longer on
the main ftp site for space reasons, so if you want them you'll have
to look on other mirrors (try http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org to get
started).

Floppy MBR? Compaq Proliant 3000

[Michael W. Holdeman]

I have a compaq proliant 3000 E39 and have FreeBSD installed to a 40G IDE 
drive I installed. It lets me install anyithing I want but the BIOS/Firmware 
will not support booting from teh IDE HD's. I want to keep the SCSI array for 
clean data on this server. How do I go about actually booting with a floppy, 
or CD and just have the boot manager point to the IDE HD?

Both of your machines are 686-class machines, using -mpentium or -

What shell are the users using? If they're using 'tcsh' or certain
other shells, they might be running up against the shell's
autologout option. See the man page for tcsh (1):

|  `60' (automatic logout after 60 minutes, and no locking) by default

I've run in to a small problem I'm not sure how to solve.  When the hour

Here's part of the script so you can visualize what I'm trying to do:

PROG=/usr/local/sbin/apachectl
LOG=/var/log/httpd-access.log
PID=`/bin/ps -auxw | grep http | grep root | grep -v grep | awk '{print 
$2}'`

DATE=`date | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d':' -f1,2`
LOGDATE=`ls -lsa ${LOG} | awk '{print $9}'`
DATEHOUR=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
LOGHOUR=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
DATEMIN=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGMIN=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGGING=1

if [ $((DATEMIN)) -gt $((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then
 LOGGING=0
elif [ $((DATEHOUR)) -ne $((LOGHOUR)) ] && [ $((DATEMIN+60)) -gt 
$((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then

 LOGGING=0
fi

When DATEHOUR is less than 10 (01-09), the script generate an arithmetic 
expression, variable substition error.  I'm pretty certain it's because 
of the leading zero, so I'm trying to figure out how to strip that out.  
I thought that parameter expansion would do it, but I get some odd (to 
me) results.


Assume DATE is 09.

echo ${DATE:0,0}
09
echo ${DATE:0,1}
9
echo ${DATE:1,1}
9

I would have thought that 0,0 would return only the first character and 
1,1 would return only the second, but that is obviously not the case.


How can I strip the leading character from the string so that I can test 
to see if it's zero?

Reinstall from backup or install media, or you may be able to repair
it by setting CC to point to the gcc34 binary and CXX to the g++34,
and doing a buildworld.  This is unsupported though and may not work,
and may make things worse.

Unless you are working on a separate disk from the one you are

work on the main disk (most likely your case with a laptop), you
must make the boot floppies it tells about in the Partition Magic
documentation and then boot from them to do the disk slice
manipulation.
 


Well, i was able to manipulate the slices while Partition Magic 6.x
was running on MS Windows (XP, and probably Me, don't remember about
98), w/o use of floppies or CDs.
   



I could do some things, but not what I needed.   Using
the floppies made it all work and it was quite straightforward.
I was changing slice sizes (shrinking) and slice types.   So, ???

An all windows issue but, word of warning with Partition Magic. I was 
attempting to merge two slices into one larger with PM versions 7 and 
version 8, two different PCs (same version MSI MB and Maxtor hdd though, 
so I'm guessing the issue is one of them) and both failed. All NTFS, 
WinXP. Be sure to do your backups and whatnot - in both cases the larger 
second slice was lost completely and backups were the only thing that 
saved me. Ended up wipe and reload on both.


Funny thing is, my boss has reported great success with both versions on 
various MSI mbs. So, I dunno.

I know replying to you own messages is a sign of something or other. I

kernel and world on an old machine (machine A), using
a newer, faster, machine (machine B).  Machine B is
set up as an NFS server for machine A.

The /etc/exports file on machine B inculdes:

/usr -maproot=root:0 -alldirs -network 192.168.0.0
-mask 255.255.255.0.

Mahine A currently has address 192.168.0.197.  Machine
B has /usr mounted on a device, not, say, /usr/src.

I have followed the following process.

While logged onto machine B:
cvsup /usr/src
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=

Once this is complete, I then log onto machine A and
mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS.  The /etc/fstab
contains:

192.168.0.2:/usr/src  /usr/src  nfs  ro,-i,noauto
192.168.0.2:/usr/obj  /usr/obj  nfs  rw,-i,noauto

(Machine B has 192.168.0.2 assigned to it's internal
interface).  The KERNCONF file is visible on machine
A, and the /etc/make.conf files are pretty similar,
speifically:

CPUTYPE?=pentium
CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
NOPROFILE=true
COMPAT4X=true
KERNCONF=

However, when I cd to (the NFS mounted) /usr/src on
machine A and enter ...

make installkernel KERNCONF=

... the install fails.

>From what I can see, the program /usr/bin/install core
dumps with exit status 4.  Looking at the man page for
install(1) it seems that there is an issue with
fchflags(2) over NFS.

The questions are then, is my guess correct, and is
there a work around?

Also, for info, I'm trying to install 5.4-RELEASE-P7
onto A, while B has 5.4-RELEASE-p6 as it's kernel, but
DOES have the FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug update.

Any help gratefully received ...

Thanks.

PS.  I did use machine B as the client and machine A
as the server, mounted and installed using DESTDIR,
but there were a whole lot of warnings about (I think)
chflags which certainly didn't look right!

Yes! And googling openldap + addressbook you get this article on onlamp:

  http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/03/27/ldap_ab.html

Have fun! :-)

But before you start, ask yourself: Are there other stuff you can pack 
into this directory? eg. user administration?

centralized address book

[Jerod Prothe]

My organization lost its Exchange server, and now users are wanting to have a 
common address book that they call all use, so anyone can start typing "Joe 
Blo.." and his address pops up in their mail client.  They're all using Outlook 
and I was thinking - is this a job for openldap?  I haven't done an ldap 
installation before, but I thought this would be a good use for it.  Am I

When you find out, please update the Wikipedia entry!  You ought to be
able to track down who made that edit in Wikipedia, and ask them for

You can't "connect" to a UDP server...

You mean something like this:
  udp4   0  0  net4801-2.tftp *.*
without the 'LISTEN' keyword? Perhaps because it's UDP?
Anyway, that's from a TFTPD server, which is used by diskless
clients. It works just fine.

5.4-RELEASE and VMWare 3.2.1 build-2242

[Matthias Apitz]

Hi,

I've compiled the VMware support in 5.4R from the ports collection
/usr/ports/emulators/vmware3:

PORTNAME=   vmware3
PORTVERSION=3.2.1.2242

After installing and fixing a bug in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh
where is a line

   networking=

and later asked the variable with:

   if [ $networking -eq 1 ]; then
   

I've loaded the kernel modules and Linux procfs:

# kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
 1   12 0xc040 5dde24   kernel
 21 0xc09de000 47e4 if_tap.ko
 31 0xc09e3000 d164 kqemu.ko
 4   14 0xc09f1000 56270acpi.ko
 55 0xc1484000 17000linux.ko
 61 0xc14dd000 8000 vmmon_up.ko
 71 0xc14e5000 2000 vmnet.ko
 81 0xc1504000 2000 rtc.ko
# kldunload acpi.ko
# kldload aio.ko
# mount_linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start
# uname -a
FreeBSD almare.Sisis.de 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May  8 10:21:06 
UTC 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386


Then I can launch 'vmware', create a config of some VM but
on power-on it panic's the VMware with:

$ vmware
Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp.
VMware PANIC: (ide0:0) NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712
VMware PANIC: (VMX) AIO: NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712

I googled a little bit around and found some hints about running
a tool from vmware-any-any-update93.tar.gz but this later only
paniced the FreeBSD kernel. Do I miss something?

The goal is that I want to switch over from SuSE 8.1 to FreeBSD
and if possible copy over as well my VWware disks from the old
installation to VMware on FreeBSD. Will this work?

gcc broken in my userland

[Axel . Gruner]

Hi,

i am running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6. If i try ro upgrade a port, i receive
a bus error from gcc.
So i installed the gcc34 from the ports, did the changes in /etc/make.conf,
and upgrading of the ports works fine.
The problem is, how to build the world if the gcc in the base system is
broken?
I get this error:

cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/include -c
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c: In function `main':
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c:260: internal compiler error: Bus
error
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
*** Error code 1

 So, how to fix the gcc in the basesystem?

My question is: How is the best way to new make binary?

I could do some things, but not what I needed.   Using
the floppies made it all work and it was quite straightforward.
I was changing slice sizes (shrinking) and slice types.   So, ???

Problems making CD backups

[Jonathon McKitrick]

I'm trying to use a cron script with mkisofs and burncd every weekend.  But
after taking a long time to do nothing, burncd never returns from burning and
fixating the CD, and looking at the CD itself shows no recorded area
reflecting.  Trying to mount the CD gives a 'device busy' error.

Is my CD-R just being difficult?  Or could I be doing something wrong?  Where
should I start looking?  Or could I be doing something wrong?  Where should I
start looking?

I'm running 4.11 BTW.

building parallel builds of mysql40 and mysql41

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hey all,

I'm presently running mysql40-server from ports.  I'd like to jump up to 
mysql41-server.  However, Ive tried to build the port for the new one 
before the old one is deinstalled (just so the dbs dont have to be down 
during a long build) and the ports tree doesn't seem to like this.


Is there a way to override this?

My solution was to completely de-install gnome2 and it's associated

It's hard to believe that gnome would take over the system so

Special Hardware Request: SAN-boot

[mgedv online]

dear list,

i wrote a similar mail a few weeks ago. today i can
specify more precisly what we want:

we are an ISP and search for working SAN solutions,
where we can setup SAN-storage disks as "root" disks
for freebsd installations which are detected as SCSI
devices by freebsd and where we can boot the OS off.

the controllers will be LSI Logic FC909 or FC919
depending on the price.

has anyone working experiences on configurations like that
or with other 1GB or 2GB FC-HBAs?

Re: tcpdump problem

[bannour souha]

I tried using -XX and -s1500 like it was advised by
Peter, but the problem persists : I have the content
of the PPP Compressed packets, but I haven't the
content of the RTP packets not compressed.
 My work consists on compressing a video stream before
sending it and I capture the packets to analyse them.
 So, I want to have the compressed and not compressed
packets details. but I have only the content of the
compressed packets in hexa :(

It is always the same place where the build dies.
Also, trying to build the world, stops with a compiler error.

Uh, my fault. -v says that the port is up-to-date, but it is not.
Maybe a problem with the "INDEX".
I have this problem also on a machine which builds ports and world without
any error, so i do not think it is based on the same problem.

Well, i was able to manipulate the slices while Partition Magic 6.x
was running on MS Windows (XP, and probably Me, don't remember about
98), w/o use of floppies or CDs.

So, i thought it could be a problem of RAM, after changing the RAM twice,
the problem ist still there, so what could be the problem?

(2) portupgrade does not build
Trying to update amavisd-new or apache with portupgrade does not work. It
just do nothing.
So, other ports are working to update, others not. So what could be the
problem?

Thanks in advance.

(That allows use of parallel port too.)

I will leave this others to address as i have not used the printer
via USB at all.  Currently it is being used over ethernet through a
SMC router connected via parallel port.  I did not encounter any
problems when it was directly connected to any of the 2-3 computer
systems.

Could it be a incorrect printcap?  What kind of data (PS, PDF, plain
text), and how, are you trying to print?

Re: tcpdump problem

[Peter Matulis]

You do not have "all the details" with ethereal.  That's because you are 
*telling* tcpdump not
to sniff them.  You are instructing it to take just the headers with the '-s' 
switch (zero
payload: -s0).  Try 1500 instead of 0 and you will get what you desire.

There is no problem w/ the system not recoginizing the file per se,

tcpdump problem

 Have you some idea? I want to have the content of the
packets in hexa to use it in my work.
 Can you help me please?

 many thanks,
