Thanks for the reply.  I did read the man page, but as a newbie I am
sometimes confused by the choices.  For example, why not also include
the "L" and "P" switch?

Thanks again.

portsclean -CD

That will clean any created work directories and delete any
unreferenced distfiles

Add another D and it will delete all distfiles that aren't part of an
installed package.

Please be doing: man portsclean
And read about the different flags that are present.

"portsclean -CDP" would be appropriate, but you should
be aware that on a rare occasion portsclean can delete
a couple of files you'd rather keep. It's not really critical,
but if you do have some spare disk space you might
consider running it once a week or month in the
interactive mode.

Cool 'n quiet and other AMD stuff

[Graham North]

Two questions related to AMD motherboards and drivers. 

1)  Is the AMD Cool 'n quiet feature (PowerNow) feature supported while 
running i386 FBSD on this AMD64 processor? (Assuming MB support).
2)  Does anyone have experience with whether the K8M800 (includes 
unichrome graphics) is supported in i386 - it does not appear to be 
supported in AMD64 FBSD.  It seems to be quite a different animal from 
the K8t800 whch apppears to have solid support.


Thanks,  Graham/

You probably have to tell the modem to auto-answer incoming calls.

Actually, ata will tell the modem to pick up the phone and answer now.

ats0=1 will tell the modem to auto answer when the phone rings.

at&w will typically tell the modem to write the current settings to 
nvram so that they are available the next time it's turned on.

Everyone,

I've been actually thinking about this whole subject
for the last few days. We've got to do something in
order to make major few hundred packages lag by not
more than a few hours.

Ideally, we should have a tool for distributed, but
secure port-building.

In the absence of such a tool, we should think of
something very simple, but workable. E.g., to ask
users to send in SHA checksums of their built
packages (with very specific build environment),
compare them to each other (verify) and ask one
of them to send the package itself to a central
location (ftp.freebsd.org).

Better yet - is to employ bittorrent, which would
do the hashing thing automatically, and provide
for a very fast download for anyone.

I really think that it's very simple and only takes
a tad of a spare time of one man to do it.

Personally, I have several machines at home
and at work, running FreeBSD i386 and amd64
day and night. They're currently wasting their
CPU cycles on dnetc, and I will gladly start
building all kinds of packages, but I don't have
much bandwidth to spare (hardly to upload,
impossible to distribute).

Please, those directly involved into the freebsd
project, step forward - and let's decide on
something. It's not time-critical, but it can't be
ignored forever.

People spend much of their free time in order
to keep the ports tree astonishingly up-to-date
(more up-to-date than software in any other OS I've
ever used). We've only got to spend machine
time, but the packages lag by weeks sometimes.


Thanks,
Andrew P.

Should we send-pr for starting a freebsd-poetry mailing
list? :-)

You know, I actually think that it's better to send a dumb
question to freebsd-questions, than to RTFM. Know why?

1. Well, it's a pleasure for a nooby guy (like me) to find out
that he can actually help someone.

2. It's a pleasure for anyone to be given a good answer
instead of (probably more appropriate) reprimand. It also
makes this anyone think about subscribing and trying to
help others.

3. It makes us all able to say that in the absence of official
(commercial) vendor support, FreeBSD has a much more
efficient way of solving your problems, even without
investing your time into reading tomes of docs and manpages.

Have a great night,
Andrew P.

Re: Question about packages

[Milscvaer]

Thank you for your replies, it is greatly appreciated.
Yes, I do believe in making donations to the FreeBSD
project, and I have done so many times.

FreeBSD is my preferred operating system and it is
well worth it. I have tried both NetBSD and OpenBSD
before both of which failed to run at all on my
hardware, FreeBSD is the only thing that will run on
many of computers and which has the features I need so
I am a big supporter and proponent of FreeBSD to say
the least.


Thank you agian.

The cluster of machines used to build precompiled packages operates  
pretty much continuously, as you can see for yourself at:


http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/

As this link says, "Last full run on 5.x-stable [i386 (2005-09-27  
05:24)]" was two days ago, and a new run is in progress which ought  
to have Firefox 1.0.7 and anything else which has been updated since  
the last run was started.  Note that building 13000 ports takes quite  
a while, so expecting less than 24-hour turnaround for binary  
packages might be too optimistic.


So if you want software updated more quickly, build it yourself--  
updating the 10 ports that you actually use is a lot easier than  
building everything.  Or you could donate more hardware to the  
FreeBSD project, or even set up your own build cluster if you think  
you can do a better job.



Does also, is anything done to avoid the situation
where an older program needs an older version of a
dependancies and a newer program needs a newer version
of the same depedancy?


Why, yes, people use shared library version numbers, or they install  
to different base prefixes, or any number of similar methods.  For  
popular software like the Berkeley DB, this support is well- 
integrated into the ports system and the options menu that many ports  
will display, using WITH_BDB_VER.  These mechanisms are documented in  
the Porter's Handbook here:


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ 
makefile-options.html#AEN2286



Does portupgrade leave older versions of a library
dependancy in place when installing a new version of
such a dependancy, so that applications that require
the newer version of the dependancy can use the new
version, while applications that need the older
version can use the older version?


Yes, it does.  Consider the output of "du -a /usr/local/lib/compat/"...

Locking 'threaded messages'

[Gerard Seibert]

I was just wondering if I could drum up any enthusiasm for my latest idea 
to improve Becky's overall usability, functional ability and suitability 
to task rating.


By the way, if this is all ready possible please let me know. I have not 
been able to accomplish it. What I propose is for Carty to incorporate the 
ability to lock a thread either by locking the original message in the 
thread or by implicitly locking any message in the thread and indicating 
that the thread should be locked. By locking, I am referring to making the 
thread immune to deletion unless implicitly unlocked.


Presently, I have to lock every message in a thread to keep it from being 
deleted when I remove the other garbage in the box the message is located 
in. This is not a problem with Becky's forum since there are usually no 
more than a handful of messages anyway. However, on some forums I belong 
to, I can receive a hundred messages a day. Obviously, I have no use for 
the vast majority of them. Never the less, if there is a thread I want to 
keep, I am forced to lock each message individually. I would like the 
ability to globally lock a thread, in whatever fashion Carty might devise.


My sole purpose with this post is to see if there is any support for this 
from the other Becky users.

Modem doesn't answer the phone

[Efren Bravo]

Hi,

I need your help about incoming connections through the modem.

My modem is a External CNet C56k v.92 Data/Fax Modem and it is unable to
answer the phone. I made a test with an old Motorola V.3292 modem and it
works well. The CNet modem works fine on Win2k Advanced Server.

Where could be the problem, on fBSD box or on the modem?
What can I do?

Thanks

If you are an Emacs user, you can use Dired and EFS (or Ange-FTP) to
browse FTP listings.  Ange-FTP only understands remote unix-style
listings.  EFS can additionally parse listings from:

VMS, CMS, MTS, MVS, ti-twenex, ti-explorer (the last two are lisp
machines), TOPS-20, DOS (running the Distinct, Novell, FTP software,
NCSA, Microsoft in both unix and DOS mode, Super TCP, and Hellsoft FTP
servers), unix descriptive listings (dl), KA9Q, OS/2, VOS, NOS/VE, CMS
running the KNET server, Tandem's Guardian OS, COKE, Mac (Running
Peter's ftpd)

In other words, pretty much anything.

Emacs + Dired works fine on a dumb terminal.  If you have X running
and you would rather avoid Emacs, then search the ports for FTP
clients with a GUI.  There are a number of them.

Which FBSD release do you use?

basically (FBSD < 5.3)
for vinum you just have to type:
vinum start
after a reboot and it'll read the config from the disks and put  
the  volume in /dev/vinum/

from there you can mount it manually or add a line to /etc/fstab



Neither of this is probably necessary.  Vinum started automatically  
when 'vinum' was typed on the console to create the mirror.  Once  
the mirror was created and shown as 'up', the volume was created  
in /dev/vinum.  However there is something you need to add to /etc/ 
rc.conf to have vinum start automatically upon booting and thus  
make your volume available for mounting.  Seems it was  
'vinum_enable = "yes"' or something like that.  Search /etc/ 
defaults/rc.conf for the exact line.


HTH,

Drew

In some releases 'vinum_enable=yes' in /etc/conf caused a kernel  
panic at boot.

Hence my question what OS...

Re: fwcontrol: unknown format 0x1e

I don't know anything about Firewire, and can't seem to get through to

You'll need someone who can figure out what the format you're getting
means, and how to handle it.  The recent comitters to the fwcontrol
utility would be a good place to start.


Just when you wrote it occured to me that I should try downgrading since 
I'm on 6.0-BETA4. I looked at the time stamps of the code and it appears 
that changes has been applied to fwdev.c in august.


I hope that works, otherwise I'd try going futher back in time, changes 
were applied to fwcontrol.c and fwohci_pci.c in may. And if I still have 
no luck, back to march.


I'm a bit currious: Looking at 5.4 STABLE all files in sys/dev/firewire
have timestamp 2005/01/30 but in 6.0-BETA4 files have timestamp 
2005/01/06 or some other date... Any explanation for this?


Well, going back in time on this will be my weekend project...

Question about packages

[Milscvaer]

Hello,

I have question about packages. I would like to
upgrade some packages on my FreeBSD 5.4 system to the
latest versions avialable in ports, but I would like
to upgrade using binary packages and not compile them
from ports (using portupgrade -PP -R package). How
often are the binary packages in 5-stable for instance
rebuilt to the latest version? It is pretty critical
to keep these updated constantly, preferably every
day, to get the latest security fixes in a new version
of a package. I noticed that Firefox still seems to be
at 1.0.6 even though 1.0.7 has been out for several
days. Does FreeBSD have a system set up where when a
port is upgraded to a new version, the binary package
for the port is automatically rebuilt soon after, such
as at least within the next day so that the latest
version in ports is also avialable as a binary
package. This is very essential. I hope such a feature
can be provided.

Does also, is anything done to avoid the situation
where an older program needs an older version of a
dependancies and a newer program needs a newer version
of the same depedancy? The way, currently, that I
believe we avoid the
DLL-hell situation on FreeBSD, where a new program
would install a new version of a library, blowing up
older programs on the system that used an older
version of the same library, being
incompatable with the new version, is to append a
version number to every .so file in the lib
directories, and have all programs to a specific
version of a library, such as one program may use
mylib.so.1.0 while a new program might use
mylib.so.2.0. Thus if a new program needs a new
version of a library, it can be installed and use the
new version, but all older programs can continue to
use the old version. 

Does portupgrade leave older versions of a library
dependancy in place when installing a new version of
such a dependancy, so that applications that require
the newer version of the dependancy can use the new
version, while applications that need the older
version can use the older version?

thank you very much,
Alistar

Is Kern/Pr 58045 is fixed, maybe related to usb/PR 65436?

[Brian Black]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi,
I am running 5.4 release and the pr link,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58045 is giving me problems.

I had sent a message regurading this problem before to the list a few
months ago.  I was asked to provide some evidence.  Since then, I have
been trying to figure out how to save the "Heavy, Bold, White" text that
prints out to the screen (which I think is kernel messages).  Some have
said to use syslog, which does not get these messages for me.

anyways,  I still dont think this bug is fixed, at least not in 5.4R.
In addition, the usb/PR 65436 is still listed as being open.

I am experiencing the symptoms of both, (I think), and is it possible
that they can be related?

Reguardless, after the messages stop printing to the screen, I still
connot mount the device because no driver gets attached.

Any ideas?

brian

Bacula Won't Allow Me To Mount Next Tape

[Drew Tomlinson]

I've posted this on the bacula-users list but haven't heard anything 
yet.  Hoping maybe someone here has come across this.  Google turns up 
nothing.


I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 and using bextract 1.36.3 to restore multiple 
tape volumes to a drive I lost.  It's giving me the following message:


29-Sep 10:39 bextract: End of Volume at file 16 on device /dev/nsa0, 
Volume 
"TAPE-0003|TAPE-0004|TAPE-0005|TAPE-0006|TAPE-0010|TAPE-0011|TAPE-0012"
29-Sep 10:39 bextract: bextract Warning: Wrong Volume mounted on device 
/dev/nsa0: Wanted TAPE-0004 have TAPE-0003

Mount Volume "TAPE-0004" on device /dev/nsa0 and press return when ready:

OK, I understand it wants me to mount the next volume.  However I can 
not get the drive to eject the tape.  It's an HP DLT-30 drive.  I press 
the eject button on the drive but get no response.  Any attempts to use 
the 'mt' program from FreeBSD result in a "device busy" error.  What 
should I try next?


Here's the relevant part of my storage daemon conf file:

---BEGIN---
Device {
Name = "HP DLT 30"
Media Type = DLT
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
LabelMedia = yes;   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
# From the port info:
# Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver
# implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to
# the bacula-sd.conf file:

Hardware End of Medium = no;
Backward Space Record = no;
Backward Space File = no;

# With 2 filemart at EOT (see man mt):
Fast Forward Space File = no;
BSF at EOM = yes;
TWO EOF = yes;

}
---END---

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Drew

Re: How to diagnose crashes?

[Srikanth, Throvagunta]

Chris,

The 5.3 have this problem. I think it has something to do with ACPI.
Either go back to the 5.2 or pick the latest. You say the system
reboots itself from time to time. Is it a panic you see before the
reboot?

There must be an option to turn on somewhere asking them to write to
disk the contents of the physical memory. You can, then, run gdb on
the dumped core. I think I have seen someone do that on NetBSD.

My FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE box seems to be spontaneously restarting from
time to time.

I have not yet contacted the colo facility to determine if it's a power
issue, but wonder if anyone can help me out in how to diagnose whether
or not it's a server crash and not a power problem.

Where should I look for tips / hints that might help me determine the
cause of a crash that forced a reboot?

Well - I tried this, and maybe I didn't get the syntax exactly right. 
My machine refused to boot at the point where it was trying to load the
splash screen, and seemed hopelessly wedged.

I downloaded the 5.3 Fixit disk, burnt a copy, and tried with that.  I
could not mount ad0s1a - it said "Operation not permitted", although I
could mount 'e' and 'f'.  It wouldn't let me do an fsck on any of the
partitions.

I tried Knoppix, but 3.9 doesn't seem to know about UFS filesystems.

In desperation, I booted a copy of Freesbie 1.1 that I happened to have
around.  I had no trouble running fsck on all the partitions (they were
all clean anyway), and deleting the erroneous lines from
/boot/loader.conf.  My machine is now working again.

So - next time I get stuck, I will try the Freesbie disk first.

Sort of.  Try using the "-alldirs" option in the second column of  
your /etc/exports file, this will allow you to mount subdirectories  
of an exported filesystem in a way that is probably what you want.


Note that you should only export a filesystem once, not multiple  
times; doing so where there is an ancestral relationship between the  
paths will result in an error.  Basicly, you should only export the  
top-level mount points as displayed from the "df" command.

You can run cvsup through NAT traversal, if you have an unroutable  
IP, but your network must allow port 5999/tcp to pass through.  If  
you only have HTTP access via a proxy server, your network has  
admirable security, but you will not be able to use cvsup.

I use zsh's built in ftp.  It's as simple as this (assuming zsh is installed):

#[probably put this in .zshrc]
zmodload zsh/zftp
autoload -U zfinit
zfinit

zfopen ftp.whatever.foo
[user & pass when prompted]
zfcd pub/example/test/etc
zfls|less

The real beauty of it is that you can use all of zsh's expansions and
the ftp stuff sits in the background while you use your shell.  For
more info man zshzftpsys

Good luck :)

Hi, I have gone through the docs on this but am just missing a  
couple of points

conceptually, and would be grateful for any help.

Basically i have created two slices on two IDE drives and mounted them

I then went into Vinum in interactive mode and (hopefully) created a
mirror by typing
mirror -d /dev/ad0s2d  /dev/ad1s1d  .  It then gave me successful
messages and gave the drive a name and said it's "up".

I'm just wondering after this point, can i just type quit and it's up
and running? I noticed on reboot the directories that were my mount
point for these partitions say they are "not a directory" now. Do i
need to go on and mount the mirror? Or did i make a mistake mounting
these partitions before creating the mirror. How do i utilize it after
issuing the mirror command.
Many thanks in advance.



Which FBSD release do you use?

basically (FBSD < 5.3)
for vinum you just have to type:
vinum start
after a reboot and it'll read the config from the disks and put the  
volume in /dev/vinum/

from there you can mount it manually or add a line to /etc/fstab

I fully understand the limitations and complications behind using

Thanks for your help and thoughts,

Hi Gadi,

I've been running gvinum in 5.4 since p6 and it runs fine.
I must admit build the RAIDS in vinum though (RAID 1 and RAID 5)
Since p7 setstate is part of gvinum which makes it completely usable  
as far as i'm concerned.


I don't know about the init command but it should work.

That depends on what version of FreeBSD you are running.
If you are running 5.x (or earlier), then I recommend you get a copy
of that program which has been compiled for your version of FreeBSD.

If you're on a vty, hit scroll-lock and pageup. 

/usr/bin/ftp also has a "pdir" command that pipes the output to $PAGER

Thanks for finding this!  I believe in the KISS philosophy:
"Keep it simple, Sir".  The only time  I used a
non-system-default port was when the default named was v8
and I used the v9 in ports.  Otherwise, FreeBSD has a great
selection of security programs as its default.  It may be
that some admins go for the bleeding-edge ports.  --Anyway,
I've added the openssl_base=yes to make.conf.  I've added
"openssl" to the local/etc/pkgtools.conf to my "HOLD_PKGS"
list.

Not exactly; a whole filesystem would be a more precise description.
This is true on all Unix systems, and to the best of my knowledge,
other OS as well.  [The reason is that the NFS transactions are tied
to inodes or file handles, not pathnames.]

I don't know anything about Firewire, and can't seem to get through to
the specs, but a look at the code tells me that the only format that
receive routine knows is CIP_FMT_DVCR (which happens to be zero).  

You'll need someone who can figure out what the format you're getting

I am trying to export two directories via NFS.
The two directories are on the same filesystem.
This is our /etc/exports file:

/raid/lower/data -maproot=root -network 10.210.0.0  -mask
255.255.0.0 
/raid/lower/home -maproot=nobody -network 10.210.0.0 -mask
255.255.0.0 
/raid/upper/db -maproot=root -network 10.210.0.0  -mask
255.255.0.0 
/raid/upper/scratch -maproot=root -network 10.210.0.0 -mask
255.255.0.0 

but we keep getting this strange errors in /var/log/messages:

Sep 29 17:38:46 biopresto mountd[411]: can't change attributes for
/raid/lower/home
Sep 29 17:38:46 biopresto mountd[411]: bad exports list line

We heard that there could be some problems sharing two directories on the

filesystem.
Is this true?

The lan card, xl0(Mac:00:50:da:19:2e:78) is attach
directly to the ISP server (I think) which using DHCP
to get the private IP (10.167.X.X ) when boot up. Then
go though Internet by pppoe

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf

set pppoe standard
set speed sync
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set timeout 0
disable deflate
disable pred1
disable vjcomp
disable acfcomp
disable protocomp
disable lqr
add default HISADDR
Internet:
set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set authkey xxx

The Internet connection seem ok, but I get the error
say "session in wrong state".

I dump the packets and found something that I don't

IPFW logging and dynamic rules

[Bob Johnson]

In FreeBSD 5.4R, I tried an IPFW configuration that includes something
like this (plus a lot of other rules):

   check-state
   deny tcp from any to any established
   allow log tcp from any to ${my-ip} dst-port 22 setup limit src-addr 3
+ other rules that use keep-state

When I do this, _every_ ssh packet is logged, in both directions.  To
get it to log ONLY the initial connection, I had to give up on using
dynamic rules for ssh and instead do something like:

   allow log tcp from any to ${my-ip} dst-port 22 setup
   allow tcp from any to ${my-ip} dst-port 22 established
   allow tcp from ${my-ip} 22 to any established
   check-state
   deny tcp from any to any established
+ other rules that use keep-state

So now I have lost the per-host ssh limit rule I wanted to include,
and I am filtering packets on flags that can be spoofed
("established") rather than the actual dynamic state of the
connection.  Am I wrong to believe there is an advantage to this?

Is there some way to get the first version to log only the initial
packet while still retaining the dynamic limit src-addr rule?

Thanks,

- Bob

No  one has jumped in with advice, so I'd like to know
if you make any decision:: like mv'ing, say,
/lib/libcrypto.so.3 to /lib/libcrypto.so.3.tmp
and see what hits the fan.  If anything.  

I'm working, carefully, on upgrading my three FBSD 
platforms and saw the same thing you have with portsclean.
I also used libchk, but it didn't help very much.
So I'm wondering too.

(NOT to complain, but how does Linux/Ubuntulinux keep its
systems free of excess libs?)

Dialin

[Efren Bravo]

Hi,

Im trying to setup my fBSD box to accept incoming connections from winxp
through cnet v.92 datafax modem.

I've followed the instructions of fBSD Handbook, modifying:

file: /etc/ttys
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty V57000"  dialup  on  insecure

file: /etc/gettytab adding:
vm|VH33600|Very High Speed Modem at 33600, 8-bit:\
:nx=VH57000:tc=std.33600:
vn|VH57000|Very High Speed Modem at 57000, 8-bit:\
:nx=VH33600:tc=std.57000:

file: /etc/rc.serial
stty -f /dev/ttyid0 crtscts
stty -f /dev/cuaia0 crtscts


After that I called to the modem but it doesn't pickup the call.

When I execute #ps -ax it shows:
661  ??  S  0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty V57000 ttyd0


What is happens?   
After the above mentioned works, what is the next step, the ppp?

Thanks

Problems with IPF after upgrading from 4.11 to 5.4

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello

I am having problems with my gateway after upgrading from 4.11 to 5.4. The 
firewall rules that worked in 4.11 are not working in 5.4.  A am able to 
access the internet from the gateway but not its clients.  The only ruleset I 
can get to work is the "open" ruleset that is supplied with the distribution. 
When I use the ruleset that work with 4.11 or the "simple" ruleset (modified 
to work with my network) the clients can access the gateway but not the 
internet .  My ISP provides a NAT router which does not provide the ability 
to disable NAT. I have cometed out all the lines that block packets from 
192.168.0.0 network.

 I have compiled the IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT  options into the kernel  and I 
have setup setup rc.conf see bellow. Access to the internet seems slow it 
takes a long time for a page to download. When performing a ping test the ip 
address is resolved quickly so I do not think it is DNS.

Is there anything that has changed from 4.11 to 5.4 that would cause this 
problem.

Thank You
Aaron

Re: Updating exim failed

I upgraded without issue on September 28th, at about 4 PM EDT to
exim-4.53-0; it's mostly a default localhost delivery agent, so there
are no special tweaks in any config files.

Re: FreeBSD Upgrade from 5.2 to 5.4

Read 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install-steps.html

I think I understand your question.  Sysinstall's label editor does not obtain 
the labels from an existing installation, you have to relabel the all of the 
partitions everytime you run sysinstall.  When I perform an upgrade using 
binaries I write down the output of the df command and use that to relabel 
the partitions. I have attached some examples of the disklabel editor bellow. 
The first is what the disk editor should look like before when you open it 
for the first time, the second is the out put of df, and the third is the 
disklabel with the mount points setup(corresponds to the df output).  The Y 
and N tell the installer wheather you want to reformat that partition or 
leave it alone. Be very carefull with this. I reformat my / and /usr, if you 
have any data other than the system in these directories back them up.


Bellow is an example of what the disklabel editor should look like when you 
first run sysinstall:

The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case):
C = CreateD = Delete   M = Mount pt.W = Write
N = Newfs OptsQ = Finish   S = Toggle SoftUpdates   Z = Custom Newfs
T = Toggle Newfs  U = Undo A = Auto DefaultsR = Delete+Merge

The output of df:

Continous JAVA build error on AMD64 and i386

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.
I reported earlier in this list about trouble in building and installing 
  JAVA on both AMD64 and i386 architectures.
In the meanwhile, I can compile ports/jdk15 on AMD64/FreeBSD-6.0, but 
jdk15 does not include or have the desired plugin for Mozilla/FireFox, 
so I tried compiling ports/jdk14. I got every recent and needed file for 
this compilation, but although I compiled "LINUX32" __and__ COMPAT32 
options into kernel (also procfs and linprocfs and everything is 
installed and working correct), I receive the the message: this port is 
for i386 and you are running amd64. That's really nice.


So I tried compiling jdk14 and jdk15 on an DELL Optiplex 280 running 
FreeBSD 6.0 (most recent buildworld as with the amd64 box!). I never had 
success compiling either jdk14 or jdk15, both end up in the attached 
error of mising BOOTDIR environment.

Examining the log output shows some curiuous portions:

   JAVAWS_BOOTDIR = /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2
-->BOOTSTRAP J2SDK VERSION: Segmentation fault
   OUTPUTDIR = /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586

This seems to be a fault in the Linux environment. I tried either 
Linuxulator as loadable kernel module or fixed compiled into kernel, 
with no success.


Deinstalling everything belonging to Linux and doing a fresh install via 
dependencies while installing jdk14/jdk15 doesn't result in any suitable 
 situation, I reiceive always the same error.


What's up?

The rc.conf for the host looks like this:

hostname="host.domain.dom"
sendmail_enable="NO"
inetd_flags="-wW -a 192.168.240.104"
rpcbind_enable="NO"
#ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.240.104 netmask 255.255.127.0"
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 192.168.240.224 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 192.168.240.225 netmask 255.255.255.255"
linux_enable="NO"
moused_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="YES"

And the jail looks like this:

rpcbind_enable="NO"
network_interfaces=""
sendmail_enable="NONE"
sshd_enable="YES"
apache_enable="YES"
apache_flags=""

When I log into the jail through ssh from an external computer, I am
logging in to the correct machine:

my-box:~ $ ssh 192.168.240.104
host:~ $ hostname
host
host:~ $

--

my-box:~ $ ssh 192.168.240.224
$ hostname
slave
$

But if I try to telnet to port 80 on the slave, it only works from the
host machine:

my-box:~ $ telnet 192.168.240.224 80
Trying 192.168.240.224
telnet: connect to address 192.168.240.224: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

--

host:~ $ telnet 192.168.240.224 80
Trying 192.168.240.224...
Connected to 224-240-168-192.domain.dom.
Escape character is '^]'.

So, apache is clearly running, but not answering to external queries. 
Running ifconfig from within the jail gives me:

$ ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=8
inet 192.168.240.224 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.240.255
ether 00:0e:0c:4e:62:31
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active

And I can ping google from within the jail, and that works.  So, any ideas?

Did you put a tape in the drive?
If there is no tape in the drive it will report
  "mt: /dev/rsa0: Device not configured"

Other problems can get that response too, of course.

If I were you, I'd try the binary update first. In the
hard drive configuration screens, leave the partiotions
untouched (press q in the partiotioning screen) and
type in the mount points in the labelling screen.

You can check out your current mount points by
typing "# mount" on your running system. Just
jot it down - and type it in later. Also make
sure the newfs toggles are off (this is probably
the default) if you don't want to reformat your
drive.

If you get stuck, you can try to install 5.4 over
5.2 without formatting your partitions. Just use
the same set of instructions. You might need
to run mergemaster after installation.

And if you don't have any important data on
the hard drive - why bother at all? Just make
a clean install.


Cheerz,
Andrew P.

Help setting up Vinum mirror

[Peter Clutton]

Hi, I have gone through the docs on this but am just missing a couple of points
conceptually, and would be grateful for any help.

Basically i have created two slices on two IDE drives and mounted them
(through fdisk, label etc), and had that all up and running correctly.
I then went into Vinum in interactive mode and (hopefully) created a
mirror by typing
mirror -d /dev/ad0s2d  /dev/ad1s1d  .  It then gave me successful
messages and gave the drive a name and said it's "up".

I'm just wondering after this point, can i just type quit and it's up
and running? I noticed on reboot the directories that were my mount
point for these partitions say they are "not a directory" now. Do i
need to go on and mount the mirror? Or did i make a mistake mounting
these partitions before creating the mirror. How do i utilize it after
issuing the mirror command.
Many thanks in advance.

Re: portaudit question.....

[Alex Zbyslaw]

Wright Jim Contractor 14MDSS/SGSI wrote:


I guess my question is this.

How do I use the FreeBSD tools, Ports/Packages, etc, to install this latest
version??

Or am I missing the concept altogether ?

( I understand the process of downloading this latest version and installing
it manually. Just trying to understand and use the FreeBSD tools )

 

IMHO, the messages from portaudit are misleadingly worded.  Portaudit is 
correct that some of the software you installed has *some kind* of 
security vulnerability.  But everything else it says is potentially 
misleading.


1) There may be no upgrade available yet.  For there to be an upgrade 
the original code has to be fixed; in your example by the Mozilla team.  
Then, whoever is maintaining the port has to go through the work of 
fixing the new code to work on FreeBSD.  For a few simple bug fixes, 
that may not be too hard, but it still has to be done. How long all this 
takes will vary from port to port.  Mozilla is generally quite quick, 
from my experience, but xloadimage hung around for ages, not long ago.


2) The advice that you should either upgrade or de-install in 
unnecessarily authoritarian and frightening.  De-installing may not be 
an option, and the actual bug may have zero affect on your environment.  
And the presence of a bug does not indicate the presence of an exploit.  
If you are worried about a particular package then follow up the links 
portaudit provides and make up your mind what to do.



However, that fact that you have so many packages reporting problems 
says that either you are doing something wrong or not checking often enough.


1) cvsup your ports tree
2) either make fetchindex in /usr/ports and run portsdb -u, or run 
portsdb -Uu (slower but more accurate)

3) run pkg_version -L= to see what needs upgrading
4) use portupgrade to upgrade on a schedule that suits.  That might be 
daily or monthly depending on you environment.  Remember to read 
/usr/port/UPDATING *before* doing any upgrades.



All of that except the upgrading can be automated safely to run at 3am, 
or any other quiet time you might have.

Glad to be helpful, Robert!

Sure, there's an easy way, just run
# portsclean -P
and all your outdated packages are gone. "man
portsclean" for details.

The Handbook has an excellent article on updating:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

For 5.3-5.4 or 5.3-6.0 or 5.4-6.0 transition you'll have to:

1. cvsup
2. make buildworld && make buildkernel
3. make installkernel && make installworld
4. mergemaster  # be careful here
5. shutdown -r now

Personally I tried each of these three transiotions and
had absolutely no problem, though it did require some
attention and reading.

Have fun!

Hello Mark,

Wednesday, September 28, 2005, 6:41:47 PM, you contributed this to  
our collective wisdom:


Just upgraded to openssl 0.9.8 and things are breaking, namely  
exim and
cyrus-imap.  Non-SSL connections work, SSL connections cause a  
segfault.




I'm going back to 0.9.7g using the WITH_OPENSSL_097 flag, but is  
there
some way to make this work with 0.9.8?  Have I totally missed  
something

here?



you need to recompile your software (exim,cyrus-imap,...) against new
openssl libs.


I'll toss in my two cents here just FWIW.  I had troubles
with all sorts of sh* (stuff) breaking when I touched openssl.

I had not---or maybe I did, inadvertently--used the openssl
"port".  I *had* to use /usr/src/secure/openssl/<>;
when applications began breaking.  I pkg_deleted openssl
and rebuilt the native /usr/src/* stuff.  These apps are
tightly interdependent; that's why you are seeing things
break.

This may or may not work generally.  It cost me at least
a day's investigation ... and I'm  *still* not sure that
everything's right.


I think I have a clue as to why this is becoming complicated.  I  
didn't have either WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes in / 
etc/make.conf.  What must be happening is that some things are using  
the base openssl, and some are using the port, which is causing a  
conflict.  That's my guess.  For whatever reason, the 0.9.7g port  
doesn't cause a conflict, whereas 0.9.8 does.


I don't really see the point of having the openssl port installed, in  
my case.  Its only installed because some port wanted it and built  
it, and I didn't have WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes set.  So, I'm now going  
to set WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes, remove the openssl port, and rebuild  
everything that depended upon the openssl port.


Can anyone either refute any of the above guesses, or tell me why I  
am a fool to go with the base  openssl rather than the port?


Thanks!

Sorry about taking advantage of this threat to solve my own similar

In my case I've already did some googling ans checked that point.
