Re: Qwest DLS & MSN Premium & Linksys Router & FreeBSD.. Oh my

2005-10-25 Thread James Long
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.

2005-10-25 Thread Martin Hepworth
Hi Deepak

the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming is should be empty (or nearly). This is
just the work area for MS and should have much in there at all apart from
the batches it's working right now..

This has been handled multiple times on the -amd64 list. See the archives.
Upgrading is not impossible, but doing a new installation is less painfull.

I've looked at pppd 2.4.3 and saw - there is an interesting thing. If pppd 
2.3.11 has support for freebsd-3.0 included, pppd 2.4.3 does not have it at 
all, so it'll be more work for making port from it...

math/grace port: "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found ??

2005-10-25 Thread Rob

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.

Thanks to all who replied. The best answer I got came from someone who
emailed me offline and told me that even if I connected sucessfully to
the nameserver, I couldn't get back anything readable because the DNS
protocol is binary. I guess host/nslookup/dig is the proper way to do
this.

I updated today with portsnap, and I'm seeing a different problem-- at

It would seem that the use of the TZ environment variable is 
somewhat deprecated.

I suggest you get rid of it, and then use 'tzsetup' to set your 
time zone. This is menu driven -- doesn't require command line 
arguments.

Apart from the choice of UTC or wall time for your CMOS clock,
I believe the equivalent result can be achieved by copying 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles to /etc/localtime.

last attempt to run mixxx (segfault, lalala)

2005-10-25 Thread Linnea Forslund
I've been posting about it before, but now, before i give it all up I
thought I'll give it one last try and drop an e-mail. Who knows, maybe
it really _will_ work out.

So after getting cvsup, installing it, getting a nice source tree and
a new driver for my graphics card it was supposed to work only it
didn't. Now it doesn't even start in a crappy way (as it did before
with visuals at 1).

With visuals at 1 I get this segfault:

and with visuals at 0 i get it without those

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

The way I got it before.


The driver has

Load  "glx"

in its configuration file.



Any ideas?

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.

Emacs can do autocompletion, and you can use etags for finding

Good, but I think it depends on the FreeBSD version.
I think, starting with 5.xx the fixit is all on disk one and
you don't need disk 2, but for 4.xxx and earlier you do.

switch to/from Daylight savings doesn't happen

Hi,

FreeBSD 4.5 doesn't seem to auto-switch to/from DST at the right
time.

--%<--%<--%<--%<--%<--

# setenv TZ :/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles

--%<--%<--%<--%<--%<--

Oct 30, 1:59 falls under PDT, instead `date` command returns PST.
I am sure I have the right tzfile.

The following change in date.c seems to fix the problem; the PDT->PST
switch happens automatically at oct 30 2.00am. Not sure if that's the
way to fix it.

ipfw2 NAT/forwarding config for bittorrent

2005-10-25 Thread Kenneth W Cochran
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.

Thanks,

-kc

Well, I don't know whether "#!" is a NOP or not. It does tell the script
which executable to use in executing the script.

But I did make a mistake. Try 
whereis bash
and use that path.

The output file is cheerfully logging the filenames

Anybody got any ideas?  Even if I could get a competent logging  
mechanism in place to see why GPG doesn't feel like running, that

You're assuming gpg is in PATH, which it probably isn't.  crontab
errors aren't logged in /var/log/messages anyway (they're mailed to
you) - see the manpages.


In addition to PATH you will also need to verify that LOGNAME and  
HOME are set in the script.

You don't even need to create one.  You should already have several
sample supfiles in ``/usr/share/examples/cvsup''.

These example supfiles can be used without _any_ change at all.  The
cvsup program can read default options from the example supfiles and a
CVSup server name from a command line option, all in one invocation:

# cvsup -h cvsup.host.address /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

NOTE: I strongly recommend using "stable-supfile" for your updates until
you have gained a fair bit of experience with updates through CVSup.

In the same network, when I use the same users in

My smb.conf has:

The win9x machines has in the register:

OK, I'm going to try one more time, and then leave it to the pro's.  :-)
You will need Disc 2 of your install CD's, that contains the live file
system.
Boot with the install cd (1), choose 'Fixit' from the install menu, insert
disc 2 when prompted for the fixit disc, then...
I found this link explaining the process:

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.

Is there any way to fix this without installing FreeBSD all over again?
 
Thanks.

The option you are looking for is "fixit" from the install disk menu. 
This'll get you a command prompt.  You will have to manually mount the 
partion that boot is on then you can delete, rename, edit, etc the file 
in question.

What do you think that will do to help?  It's a NOP, so it can't fix

Yes and no.  Masquerading is for mail which passes through the server, 
which includes mail being delivered locally from some other machine.


OK, that makes sense.

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.


Put a spamfilter/virusfilter on your external relay, which will then serve as 
your SMART_HOST for the internal mailserver.

You probably want pkg_cutleaves.  If you're not using portupgrade,
it's possible that your dependency database may be inconsistent
(e.g. if you've done pkg_delete -f or failed to uninstall old versions
before installing new ones over the top).  Run pkgdb -F to check
consistency first.

Apologies for replying to my own msg, but I just 'had' to try what I told
you, and there are no tools such as 'mount', or 'rm' available when booting
to a command prompt as I said.
I tried the Emergency Shell from the CD, same thing.

Try disabling acpi, many older motherboards had broken acpi support
(although if you're lucky there's an updated bios).

Don't forget the finer print.  "Invisible print" might be a better

Check out which "phone pac" that is.  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).

Yeah, after considerable searching I found a "MSN Subscription
Agreement" link at http://support.msn.com/ which took me to a member
sign-in form.  Do you really want to do business with a company that
does business like that?

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.  Grr.

Take the "/bin/bash" out of your crontab. Put
#!/bin/bash
at the beginning of your script.

I just looked at your script quickly, but it looks like it should run in
sh. For portability, you can use
#!/bin/sh

optical mouse problem

2005-10-25 Thread Zsolt Kúti
Dear All,

I've got a Samsung PS/2 (SMOP5000WX) mouse that does not work. While
the pointer appears, it hectically wanders around the screen and
suddenly produces false keystroke-like actions.

Applying hint.psm.0.flags="0x0200" makes it a plain PS/2 mouse, that
works fine (no wheel then, of course).

Without that flag, configuration is OK with another PS/2 mouse, wheel
working. 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?

Or better leave it alone and go for a new one?


Thanks!

I've never done this...but...
Reboot the computer from the CD,
Look for the message:

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds...

At that point press "any other key".
You should then be able to mount your /boot partition and delete the file,
however, you may have to look around on the CD for the appropriate commands.

What packages can I deinstall?

2005-10-25 Thread Pat Maddox
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?

Thanks,
Pat

Run /usr/bin/env (or wherever env is located on your system) from cron
and see what environment your script has.

Then run your script manually and keep removing envariables until
something breaks.

You're assuming gpg is in PATH, which it probably isn't.  crontab
errors aren't logged in /var/log/messages anyway (they're mailed to
you) - see the manpages.

Crontab and GPG?

2005-10-25 Thread Robert Wall
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

Re: dlopen() causes libXcursor.so.1.0 "not found": libX11.so problem?

Sounds like the application is broken for requesting it, since as you
found there is no such library on FreeBSD.

5.5 will be a few months after 6.0, i.e. perhaps not before the
beginning of next year.

The latter.  A few hundred bugs were fixed between 5.3 and 5.4, and

Need to boot from CD and delete a file on the hard drive

2005-10-25 Thread Maude User
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

I have mine in /root
It really doesn't matter where you place it because you will specify the 
name on the cvsup command line (something like cvsup /root/my-supfile). 
 The only reason to copy it somewhere is so that you still have the 
original in case something goes wrong.

Yes, probably, that's definitely a decent idea and worth a try.


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.


Sometimes this is simply a problem with the CD being dirty or not being read

This might also indicate your hardware is a little flaky.  The AMD Athlons are 
 fine processors, but the earlier AMD K6 and Cyrix CPUs are a bit less 
reliable and some contained interesting hardware flaws (like with the L2 cache).

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.

I would like to setup the gateway  and i want to use freebsd ..
because of it's power which i am learning now .

hope to get more guidance on the issue ...

Ah! Thats it..

It still won't play though.

Should I recompile as it says? Well, maybe I don't need to do that

Problem with freebsd on epia

2005-10-25 Thread Lord Raiden
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?  Many thanks in advance.  :D

Thanks for the reply, I think I will go that route or
at least check out the other option that is available
as well, Clearwire internet. I would like to do a few
things that cable wouldn't allow.

probably a simple routing or firewall question

2005-10-25 Thread Dave

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.
Dave.

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.

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

You could use the 'dig' command:

dig @ a yahoo.com

Or you could use 'nmap' with a -sV option, limiting it to port 53/udp or
53/tcp, to actually scan for an application response.

The first cd I tried was a music-cd with a data part. It said this:

supermoccine# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument

The second one was a data cd. It said this:

supermoccine# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
supermoccine#

and the machine started buzzing a little. but this last one was with a
movie-file. I couldn't find any with mp3's...

Where should I look when I want to open files from xmms, mixxx or some

There are some example datafiles for cvsup in /usr/share/examples/cvsup

Information for cvsup-without-gui-16.1h:

Comment:
General network file distribution system optimized for CVS (non-GUI version)


Description:
CVSup is a software package for distributing and updating collections
of files across a network.  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.

WWW: http://www.cvsup.org/




How about the command "which
> cvsup"?

> which cvsup
/usr/local/bin/cvsup

If you get output from both of these commands you already have
> cvsup and can go about following the links I sent earlier to get the

Ok, I suppose I already have it then. Horray! I'll get on with it. Thanks a lot.

Try using /dev/acd0. If you run the following command as root, does it
work? (there should be a data CD in the drive btw, not a music CD)

mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom

Music encoded as .mp3 sits on a data CD (usually CD-ROM mode 1), and
should be mounted first. See above.

Regular music CDs are written in different format (CD-DA). You do not
have to mount these.
