Re: Qwest DLS & MSN Premium & Linksys Router & FreeBSD.. Oh my
Tell Qwest you want to use a local ISP instead of MSN. The local ISP will give you better service, and you won't be guilty of sending money to M$. You shouldn't have any problem using an run-of-the-mill Cable/DSL router/hub to share the service with your LAN, so long as you use only one public IP. If you need more than one public IP, there again is a great reason to go with a local independent ISP instead of M$N. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

math/grace port: "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found ??
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 5-Stable. I only seem to encounter this problem with the math/graphical port 'grace', and the dlopen() call inthere. It seems to be a FreeBSD specific problem and I wonder if other people on this list encounter the same problem. This is the problem: 1. Install Grace from ports (math/grace) 2. Create $HOME/.grace/gracerc.user and put one line in this file: USE "pow" TYPE f_of_dd FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so" (this is the example from the Grace UsersGuide) 3. Start grace like this: $ xmgrace Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found, required by "xmgrace" DL module load failed: USE "pow" TYPE F_OF_DD FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so" Error at line 1 Because if this library problem, Grace cannot load "pow" from "/usr/lib/libm.so". However, apart from that, grace starts normally. The syntax in file "gracerc.user" is correct; I have verified this with the Grace mailinglist. The line "Shared object...not found" is the error message-string set by the dlopen() call in Grace: handle = (void *)dlopen("/usr/lib/libm.so", RTLD_LAZY) When I do a 'locate libXcursor.so.1.0', I get: /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 Why is dlopen() failing on "libXcursor.so.1.0" ? A possible hint could be that "libXcursor.so.1.0.2" appears when 'strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6'. Why is it in libX11.so.6 ?? Thanks for help or clues! Rob. __ Yahoo!

I am open to suggestions :) Basically I have a system that is accessible via ssh _only_, and I need to find out how much ssh traffic each individual user is generating (both send and receive) over ssh. There are a large enough population of users that one sshd/user is not workable. So, it turns out there is a patch for openSSH that does per-user traffic accounting, which makes sense, since the sshd does know all that I am trying to ask of it. The only drawbacks are, the patch is unsupported (apparently the openssh developer is philosophically opposed to traffic counting in sshd (?)), and it does not count aborted transactions (so you could upload a few gigs, and then drop off, and that doesn't get counted). So that is one solution ... can you think of any other ways to count per-user traffic, if it is a given that it is all only ssh ? thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

ipfw2 NAT/forwarding config for bittorrent
Hello -questions: I would like to make bittorrent work in following scenario: - machine running py-bittorrent has private ip-address 192.168.x.y and currently runs FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE - firewall/NAT machine is FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, last updated by source in November 2004. - firewall/NAT is ipfw2, has run just fine for months How do I configure ipfw2 for properly forwarding the bittorrent ports (6881-6889) to the destination machine? Log_in_vain is active on the firewall machine & when bittorrent is active on the private-ip machine, the firewall's syslog is being cluttered with attempts on port 6881. Where in the firewall config would such rule(s) go in relation to the divert rule? Would that silence the port 6881 messages & properly pass that traffic to the internal machine? So far I'm not understanding the ipfw manpage for port forwarding. FAQ/documentation/RTFM pointers/examples are quite welcome. :) Please CC me any replies.

For example I've got a package named cclient (http://www.freshports.org/mail/cclient/) installed. If I run pkg_deinstall -n cclient, it says that it'd be removed without any problems. So evidently no other package is depending on this...perhaps it's just an artifact from a package I installed a while back but deinstalled? Basically I'd like to clear out any unused packages. Is it safe to just run on pkg_deinstall -n on any package I don't recognize, and if it isn't required as a dependency for another package go ahead and delete it? Thanks, Pat It should be safe to do as long as you are fairly sure you don't need it. There's a KDE program called gpkgdep (sysutils/gpkgdep) that let's you see what depends on a package. It also lets you "simulate" the deinstall of different packages. It might be quicker than the command line tools to find those packages, though you still have to pkg_deinstall manually.

Next question, since sendmail is _already_ rewriting the address, why will adding still more rewritng stop it from doing what it is doing now, since Masquerading isn't enabled presently. There's a big long discussion of this in cf/README, but reasonable people have been known to find sendmail documentation non-informative. :-) It might be the case that using statements of the form: VIRTUSER_DOMAIN(`example.com')dnl ...in your .mc file may help exclude them from canonification. It may also be the case that what you want to do is going to be better handled by two SMTP servers, one as an external gateway, using and exposed to DNS and your wildcard MX records, and one internal mailserver which handles local delivery, masquerading, a mailertable distributing mail to any other local SMTP destinations (think mailserver/listservers running on other machines), and even use FEATURE nocanonify if you want to/have to disregard DNS entirely.

You probably want pkg_cutleaves.

I doubt very much if regular phone service is considered to be a home phone pac; I mangaged to find (after considerable searching) their page for ordering non-pac phone service to get a 12.50 basic service (before more than that in various fees and taxes, one which seems to be part of _their_ taxes -- grrr). > restrictions may apply.

I can't help you; and I wouldn't help MSN if I could. I know I first bought a (used) modem that was "guaranteed" to work with Qwest and a non-MSFT ISP, but I later learned that it would only work with Qwest+MSN and had to pay a "restocking" fee to get most of my money back. Grrr. I found what seems (in about 5 mo) to be a good ISP at opusnet.com . Relatively good contract terms and in actual practice, so far. And about as cheap as they come. Note that _almost_ all ISPs have indemnity clauses whereby you agree to pay their legal and other costs if some third party makes claims against the ISP which involve you in any way, whether or not you've done anything wrong in most such clauses. Another facter is how far away the courthouse and your lawyer would be. Last time I looked, Quest had no indemnity clause for their pure DSL service, but they had one in their ISP contract and, of course, MSN does too. I say "of course", but I should note that MSN.net is one of increasingly-few web sites that has no indemnity clause in the site-use contract. Even such "open source" sites as Slashdot have them these days. I assume the risk of using such sites in read-only mode, but seldom, if ever, post anything to them. BTW, my insurance guy knows of no personal insurance against such indemnity risks. I bought a DSL modem at Fry's for about 10 $ more than Qwest's, mostly because Qwest has given me many reasons to dislike and distrust them and partly because my modem has a 2-yr guarantee. It is a Zoom ADSL X5 and seems to work fine and was easy to configure once I got past some problem that I had with Mozilla not accessing the modem's configuration web forms correctly. (I've already forgotten the cause.) Beware that the Zoom modem package says in big print that it comes with DSL filters and in fine print it says how many it comes with, which I didn't notice was _zero_. Grrr.) With the Zoom modem, at least, you may configure it to run DHCP and give the modem a fixed (eg, 10.something) IP address or run DHCP on whatever you connect to the modem. The Zoom X5 is also a 4-port router, but this one was not wireless like the Qwest modem. Finally, beware that a few weeks ago DSL providers like Qwest got permission (from the US gov) to refuse to do business (after 2005, IIRC) with good ISPs like opusnet.com, so don't be suprised if your choice in 2006 is between Qwest+MSN and Comcast+Comcast.

The optical mouse is recognized ("4D+ Mouse"). moused.c contains code that in priciple handles this type, in practice not. I tried various moused parameters, even serial types (I know, it against what it is recommended in man) , NORESET as hint, none of them helped. What could I try to get it operate normally?

What packages can I deinstall?
I've got a bunch of packages installed on my machine and I'd like to know if I can deinstall any of them. I know what a lot of them do, and know what will happen if I deinstall them. Others, I'm not really sure. For example I've got a package named cclient (http://www.freshports.org/mail/cclient/) installed. If I run pkg_deinstall -n cclient, it says that it'd be removed without any problems. So evidently no other package is depending on this...perhaps it's just an artifact from a package I installed a while back but deinstalled? Basically I'd like to clear out any unused packages. Is it safe to just run on pkg_deinstall -n on any package I don't recognize, and if it isn't required as a dependency for another package go ahead and delete it?

Crontab and GPG?
Hello! I'm attempting to run GPG from cron, and it's not working. I can run the script from the command line, and all works perfectly. When I try to run it from cron, however, it doesn't work. The crontab calls this script, called "pgpdecrypt" with the following crontab line: */1* * * * root/bin/bash /etc/pgpdecrypt The /bin/bash wasn't originally there; I added it to make sure that the script was using the correct shell. Still no luck. Here's the script that it calls: echo >> /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger "PGP Decrypter Starting" cd /home/folder for filename in `ls *pgp` do gpg --batch --no-tty --passphrase-fd 0 --output /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt --decrypt /home/folder/$filename < /home/folder/pp /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/import.pl /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt echo >> /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger "/home/folder/$filename /home/folder/pgp-original/$filename" done The output file is cheerfully logging the filenames appropriately. /var/log/messages doesn't contain any errors.

Need to boot from CD and delete a file on the hard drive
Hello All -- SUMMARY: I changed a configuration file and now I can no longer boot from my hard drive (but I can still boot from the CD). I would like to boot from the CD and undo my change to the configuration file -- but when I boot from the CD it automatically launches the install program. Is there a way to boot from the boot CD and get a shell and make a change to a file on the hard drive? (I got an "emergency shell" after booting from the CD -- but I can't figure out how to access my hard drive filesystem from it.) DETAILS: I was trying to set up a serial console using the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html I typed the following at the prompt: # echo 'console="comconsole"' >> /boot/loader.conf then unplugged my regular keyboard and tried to reboot -- but the machine now freezes on bootup. I now want to boot from a CD and remove the file /boot/loader.conf from the hard drive. Then I should be able to boot normally again from the hard drive. I went into the BIOS and booted from the CD and this put me in the install program. I don't want to install everything again -- I just want to boot up from the CD and execute the following command at the prompt: # rm /boot/loader.conf After booting from the CD, I found a command in the install program to enter an "emergency shell" and accessed this shell by hitting ALT-F4 -- but if I do an "rm" command in this emergency shell, it doesn't apply to the filesystem on the hard drive -- it applies to the CD. I need to delete the file /boot/loader.conf while booting from the CD. Is there any way to fix this without installing FreeBSD all over again? Thanks. Scott Alexander - Yahoo!

Hi, If i install FreeBSD on to a HDD with a good machine where i have already installed freebsd before and then move the HDD to that machine. Will it work ?? This is what happens when I try to install freebsd on the machine I can go till the step of Choosing distribution After I choose the distribution it starts the installation it shows transffering .. in a blue screen with a progress bar. it then transfers 32 of 33 chunks and then it comes up with the error mentioned before.

Problem with freebsd on epia
Hi all. I've got a problem and I'm not sure if this is an xorg problem or a freebsd problem or a bit of both. I've currently got an Epia SP13000 running Freebsd 5.3 and I'm trying to configure it for Xwindows. Well, the kicker is, it uses the newer Via Unicrome pro graphics chip and I've been through the video config for xorg and can't find any trace of the driver for this, or any via driver anywhere. Nor is there anything in the ports either. What do I need to do to get the driver working on this so I can run X on this machine?

probably a simple routing or firewall question
Hello, Hello, I've got a 5.4 box acting as a gateway/router and i have to set up another for another network. This one will rely on a different ip range, so i thought i'd hand it out while i'm doing the install via my dhcp server, this part works but the box can't get to the net to retrieve ports and so forth. I'm suspecting either a routing or firewall issue. I'm using pf and am natting all traffic from this new box to my external interface and passing all traffic, that should be working. My network range is 10.8.0.0 and the range for this new box is 10.10.0.0 i believe my problem is here, i'm not sure where to fix it at, my gateway, this new box or both? I'd rather not make to many modifications to this new machine save what it needs to get going, ideally i'd like to hand it over, and have it be dropped in and go. It needs to be that simple, the person whose getting it has an impulsive habbit especially if something doesn't work right out of the box. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

From time to time there are library bumps and it's better for you to be in single user mode to upgrade your system properly. I had ruined a mailserver when I updated the named on it from 8.x to 9.3.x - I was in multiuser, with securelevel turned on and the named running. After that I had to run couple of times the build to get everything fixed. Now I run in multiuser buildworld et all on machines I have no serial access to and before that I check with UPDATING to see what will fail potentially. -- Димитър Василев Dimitar Vassilev GnuPG key ID: 0x4B8DB525 Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint: D88A 3B92 DED5 917E 341E D62F 8C51 5FC4 4B8D B525 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Data CD-ROMs have to be mounted before you access the files stored in a track of the CD-ROM. So, you'd have to use something like this to access the mp3 files in a data CD-ROM: # mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom Audio CD-ROMs can be controlled with cdcontrol(1): # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 More details about data and audio CD-ROMs are described in the Handbook, so you really *have* to look at the relevant section: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html Regards, Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It can efficiently and accurately mirror all types of files, including sources, binaries, hard links, symbolic links, and even device nodes. CVSup's streaming communication protocol and multithreaded architecture make it most likely the fastest mirroring tool in existence today. In addition to being a great general-purpose mirroring tool, CVSup includes special features and optimizations specifically tailored to CVS repositories. This port of CVSup omits the GUI and does not require X11. For a version that includes the GUI, use the "net/cvsup" port.
