look at the bottom of the picture with Intel and IBM's PowerPC

This is a bunch of whitewashing as anyone in the tech industry knows.


Wrong.  WHat jobs said was exactly correct


Jobs changed over to Intel for two reasons.  First, because Intel gave
him a better price on the CPU's.


This is also a consideration.  Price always is/

However, the main reason was that the performance they needed at the  
wattage they needed (for laptops) was not on the horizon for PPC.   
The G5 can compete against the Intel desktop offerings but there was  
not a laptop G5 coming any time soon [because of energy dissipation)  
and the G4 for laptops was not cutting it.



Second because doing this instantly
obsoletes the older power PC macs thus pushing all the Mac users to
fork over money for new software and hardware.


Wrong.  Conspiracy-Ted at it again.

Configuring ccd during install

[Ben Siemon]

I have an older machine I got from work that has several identical
scsi drives that I want to merge into one and mount it it as home. Can
this be done during install? If not how do I tell it to mount the new
thing I creat as home after the initial install? I have read the RAID
explanation on useing ccd and that all makes sense I jus do not see
how to mount the thing created with ccd in a usefull way outside of
/home/newDisks.

Inconsistency Running IPF Against FTPs

[Robert H. Perry]

I'm running FreeBSD RELEASE 5.4 and recently installed IPF Firewall.  I 
rarely download files using FTP but have little choice using 
portupgrade.  Now, during an upgrade, I often see the error message, "No 
route to host..." while connecting with an FTP site.  If I disable the 
IPF/IPNAT rules the problem no longer exists.


I've followed installation instructions in the Handbook paying 
particular attention to the section on IPNAT rules.  (I do not claim to 
entirely understand what I read however.)  My immediate question however 
is how current are the instructions?  There is a caveat immediately 
following the IPF Firewall Section title: "This section is work in 
progress. The contents might not be accurate at all times."  If it is 
accurate and should resolve my FTP problems, I'll simply re-read it 
until I get it right.


Any other hints are also appreciated.

Thnx,
Bob Perry

Hmm - let's see now, where does this extra "wasted" power go?  It
is turned into heat.  Which heats your house.  Which means you do
not have to run the furnace so much, thus saving energy there.

So you spend more energy to run inefficient PC's and save energy
in not running your furnace.  Seems to me to be a wash, here.

I should also point out that in many areas power is generated by
wind.  Here in the Pacific NW you can pay a bit extra on your
power bill to have all your electricity come from wind if you want.

If anyone on the list does not feel this way please feel free to
send me your old PCs.  Specifically, your old rack mounted servers
with large SCSI arrays.  I will take servers that are as old
as Pentium II 500Mhz devices with 40GB or greater RAID 5 arrays.
Compaq/HP
and other name brands preferred.

( No usable mirrors | Binary install CD toast ) for 6.0?

[Garrett Cooper]

	What I was curious (and a bit perplexed about) is that when I  
finally got a working 6.0 disk burned, it seemed as if there weren't  
any working mirrors for downloading indexes or packages for 6.0. I  
was wondering if this was accidental, intentional, or...?
	I am wondering since I wasn't capable of installing expat as well as  
completely install the base package off of the larger install CDs,  
which is a problem for a person setting up a new system.
	I was trying to use the i386 iso(s) on my Pentium 4 and all of my  
network settings were correct as I logged into the servers, but the  
sysinstall program claimed there wasn't any retrievable data.

Thanks,

Re: RAS

[Olivier Nicole]

> Can freeBSD be used as RAS server for windows
> boxes?  

Yes I used to do that, having pluged in an interface card with 2
serial ports (for a total of 4 ports and 4 modems)

The thing was to configure PPP to use Chap authentication (but you
need to keep clear text password on your RAS machine).

It worked OK, even if from time to time the connection was not
released properly, making a port unavailable.

That's a poorman solution anyway, as you cannot expect faster access
than 33kbps.

I cannot give much more details than that as I replaced that machine
with a real RAS a couple of years back, that real RAS being an embeded
machine running... FreeBSD (version 1.something!)

So RAS and FreeBSD? Definitely yes :))

dhcp server on multiple interfaces.

[BSD Mail]

Hello everyone,

I'm configuring a gateway machine with 3 network interfaces
int_ext (rl0) will obtained a real static IP from a public dhcp server.
int_dmz (fxp0) 10.0.1.1/24 
> both internal networks will need a dhcp server to assign them the right
subnet
int_lan (xl0) 10.0.0.1/24 

I already figured out how to specify multiple subnets and grouping, static
address etc... in the dhcp config file.

what I want to make sure of is the /etc/rc.conf
would this entry be valid and assign the right IP from the range of subnet :

dhcpd_ifaces="fxp0 xl0"

will that cause the dhcp server to assign 10.0.1.x/24 addresses to the
machines on the switch connected to fxp0 ?
and 10.0.0.x/24 to the machines on the switch connected to xl0 ?

If not what's the maximum number of interfaces I can specify in the option
dhcpd_ifaces="" assuming I have all the
subnets and related information configured correctly in the dhcpd.conf ?

Re: is this due to my hardware or freebsd 6.0?

I had the same problem, it tuned out to be the 5.4 nvidia driver loading on

one (or more) drivers, and rebuild the driver under 6.0.

There are no errors at the boot: prompt. It is when I hit enter to
actually boot that I get a register dump followed by the message "BTX
halted" and the screeen blanks. From here, I have to press the reset
button. I never see the copyright messages from the kernel.

It seems that DMA can cause this problem, so I did what I could to
turn it off in the bios, to no avail.

Problems installing the subversion port

[Arne Skjaerholt]

Hello everyone,
for a while I've been using CVS for my version managment, but I recently
upgraded to 6.0-RELEASE, so I decided to dump CVS in favour of
Subversion as I've been hearing good things about it and CVS has been
rather annoying.

I found and followed this guide when installing
http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/misc/subversion.php, but the
install stage fails with the following message:

===>   subversion-1.3.0.r2 depends on shared library: intl - found
-e -S LIBEXECDIR=/usr/local/libexec/apache2 -a -n dav
libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so
-e: not found
*** Error code 127

>From what I can gather, the error stems from line 359 of the makefile,
which goes as follows:
${APXS} -e -S LIBEXECDIR=${PREFIX}/libexec/apache2 -a -n dav
libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so

I've tried replacing this with `which apxs` -e -S LIBEXECDIR=
${PREFIX}/libexec/apache2 -a -n dav libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so, which
makes the Makefile return without an error, but it doesn't actually
work.

Does anyone see (or already know) how I can fix this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Arne

6.0 Release no /stand/sysinstall ?

[BSD Mail]

Greetings,

I've just installed a vanila FreeBSD 6.0 Release from CD. As usual I thought
i might want to add other
things from /stand/sysinstall but looks like I'm getting "command not found"
so I cd to the "/" directory
but there is no "stand" directory in there. Anything I should know about in
regards of 6.0 ??

If no change happend, how can i access it or add it ?

[T.F. Cheng]

hi, 
  i upgraded from 5.4 to 6.0 like I supposed so. But
something went wrong and the system started to reboot
itself. I noticed it said "fatal trap 12..." among
other things. When I chosed to start without ACPI, it
said "fatal trap 9". Does this mean that my hard drive
is at fault? Thanks!!

Re: Firefox + acroread7

[myfreebsd]

Eric, 
 
You have the setup right in libmap.conf. You need to create 
or copy acroread7 to acroread in /usr/local/bin and make 
sure the permissions are correct. This should solve the 
problem.  
 
I don't know why but libmap.conf points to the wrong 
location for acrobat. And acroread7 port doesn't install a 
shell named acroread. It doesn't seem to make since to name 
the script with the version number.

They would carefully test to see whether it helped their specific
CPU-intensive application, and only use it if so.

Re: How can I install xorg-clients?

I didn't realize there was a port for the driver ;) I installed with
the tar.gz I found on nvnews.net (Where I used to get my linux driver)

What I had to do in order to achieve the effect above is install the
driver from the port and then deinstall it and then reinstall
xorg-clients and then reinstall the nvidia driver. I suppose I could
have just removed the offending files, but this seemed to me to be
the best way to go. And it worked, which is what matters most to me ;)

Just a note in case someone else is following or found this thread in
the archives... I did all my b0rking remotely, and after removing
xorg-clients and not being able to reinstall it (until coming home
and reading my mail) I had my kdm screen still there waiting for me.
I tried to log in and it told me that iceauth was missing. Yes,
iceauth is part of the xorg-clients port. What I did was cd into the
iceauth dir of the port (something like work/programs/iceauth) and
ran make install from there. This allowed me to log in to kde once
again. Does it make sense to mess about with x11 ports from a running
x session? probably not. But it was comforting to work from an Eterm,
especially after wondering all day whether or not I did serious
damage to my brand new install ;)

Anyone got flash working?



I haven't been unable to uninstall anything, but I definitely am having

I've simply tried installing linuxpluginwrapper and linux-flashplugin7,

###

I've been told to link something, but not what needs to be linked to what
exactly, and I don't really understand much about the whole library thing
to figure it out for myself...


Thanks to the helpful people in #freebsd-gnome on freenode IRC I got it to 
work doing the following (the diff step was in the pkg-message for 
linuxpluginwrapper, so missing that step was my own fault):


- Install www/linuxpluginwrapper
- Install www/linux-flashplugin7
- Put following in /etc/libmap.conf

  [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so]
  libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so.2

  libz.so.1   libz.so.3

- Apply the patch at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff 
to /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c (using "patch < difffile").

- Rebuild rtld-elf:

  cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/
  make clean cleandir
  make clean cleandir

The only people that say that don't know how to run Windows.

Windows 98 is a very stable OS if you know what you are doing.  I've
had both stable and unstable Win98 systems, and I've learned from the
unstable ones what to to do make the system stable.  Just because
you haven't doesen't make it an unstable OS.

>and its not even a
>comparable OS in terms of stability of Windows XP.

Windows XP is better, however part of the reason people think this is
that XP will
not run on older hardware because it's too slow.  Back in the good old
days there was a lot more shoddy PC hardware than there is today
partly because there were a lot more manufacturers than there are today.

If Win XP is installed on the system minimums, and you are patient enough
to spend the 24 hours necessary waiting for it to finish jacking off or
whatever
it does during installation, then the result would be a lot less stable.

Your either arguing that FreeBSD should be made more stable by modifying
it so that it will only boot on 1 year old or younger hardware that is
more
stable than older hardware is in general, or your arguing that only new
hardware is stable enough to field really stable OSes on, I can't figure
out
which.

This is a very naieve argument.  For starters all machine designs no
matter what will
ultimately hit the law of diminishing returns.  Take the automobile,
there have been
80 years of trying to make the internal combustion engine more efficient
so as to
get better gas mileage and the end result is we are abandoning that
design and going
to hybrids, because it's impossible to make it more efficient than it has
been for
the last 40 years.  The mpg of a typical car rolling off the line today
is no better
than one built in 1960 the only difference is it pollutes less.

The computer industry is much younger than the automobile industry but it
will
eventually hit this ceiling too.  Then the only way around it is to make
the software
more efficient or to chuck the existing computer design and go to
something different.
Maybe photon chips or something else, who knows.

If the computer hardware industry only made pentium 2's for the last 20
years then
we could still see speed increases if Microsoft made a better windows.

And as I already pointed out, the observed interface speed of a P4 under
XP is no better
than a P3 under 2K or a P2 under w98, so I think by your "p 2
performance" yardstick
we are still no better off under Windows today.  So why is this a good
side of MS pray tell?

That's fine except that there was not a mass migration to Win95 in 1995,
the year
that the Internet exploded in terms of ISP growth.  You probably never
heard of
trumpet winsock?

Connecting Win31 systems to the Internet was going great guns well into
1997.
What put the Win31 systems out of the Internet game was the browser wars
between
MS and Netscape.  But MS supported Win31 up until IE4 as did Netscape.
MS
even included a dialer and winsock in their Win31 web browser issues.

The Internet exploded before MS got into it, not as a result of MS
getting into it.
MS actually pooh-poohed the Internet, and later on in around 1999 Gates
was
quoted as sayi

You are using nvidia-driver aren't you? Try temporarily uninstalling

Yes, I have the nvidia driver installed. I used pkg_delete to remove 
nvidia-driver. I already had the latest xterm installed.
I was now able to install xorg-clients. Finally, I re-installed 
nvidia-driver and now everything is back to normal.

Why is it connected to the secondary slave? It's also only achieving

Did you move the drive and change the cable?
I would have guessed that putting it there behind your DVD would be

The loader was running. Turns out that I creaed teh replacement disk on a
version 5 system, and the old machine (thus the resored data) was from  V5
system, Thus I had a V5 loader trying to access FFS filessytems that were
formated by a V5 system. THIS DOES NOT WORK. Is this documented somewhere?

In vereion 4 the kerenl is in the / directory, not /boot.

You can manually build the missing ones. You don't need to deinstall the 
port with the stale dependancy. 

I think portupgrade checks first and then tells you to do the -F update. 
I hit this area at various stages of the gnome_update. The script 
deleted ports and then died before they were added back. The database 
then had loose ends and wanted you to fix them with the -F. The 
-recover option worked most of the time and that was good enough, most 
of the time :). The other 3 or 4 times, I did a manual build of the 
missing port.

I have created a patch based on this link, and now xorg-clients builds

Or you can do (from memory):

cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg-clients
make clean extract
cd work/xc
cp programs/xdriinfo/xdriinfo.c programs/xdriinfo/xdriinfo.c.orig
* edit programs/xdriinfo/xdriinfo.c and change the glXGetProcAddress to 
glXGetProcAddressARB on lines 61/2 (or thereabouts).
diff -u programs/xdriinfo/xdriinfo.c.orig programs/xdriinfo/xdriinfo.c > 
../../files/patch-xdriinfo.c

cd ../..
make patch
(which should apply cleanly)
make
(which should finish normally)

Then if it all worked you can say "portupgrade -w x11/xorg-clients" 
which should install what you have just rebuilt.  The patch will survive 
csvup and would need to be deleted if this issue is ever fixed.


Then portupgrade x11/xterm should work fine.

You needed to use the -p option which would get packages if it can. If 
you upgrade early, you need a cpu with considerable power. The problem 
is being patient long enough :).

I have an AMD 2400+ XP and it had to build the gnome stuff and the new 
release of kde-3.4.3. It took a while :). However, I had packages on 
it, that I could move to my other 5.4 computers, long before they had 
packages on Marcus' tinderbox, which is where the gnome_upgrade.sh 
script, which came along about 10 Novermber, gets the gnome packages.

Hello,

Before you do anything, you should first back up all
the data from the disk that failed onto a new disk,
given that the disk has already failed, there is the
very real possibility that it will fail again, soon.

Put simply, the loader is not executing the kernel.
There are a number of possible reasons for this: 1 -
the loader is not able to work out what disk to
attempt the boot process on, 2 - the loader has found
a disk, but cannot find the kernel, 3 - the loader has
found the kernel but is unable to load it.

You said lsdev can find disk1, so I suspect that it
cannot find the kernel. The kernel is a file on the
file system. Given that you said the disk failed, then
i would suspect that an fsck is required on the root
file system (after you have backup of all data you
want to protect).

After you have done the fsck, you might want to also
go into the /boot directory and make sure the file
"kernel" still actually exists.

Regards, TIm.

It's recommended to use the default settings, of course :)

You're unlikely to see a real difference with different compiler
optimizations, and adding weird non-standard options may even cause
problems.

Kris

P.S. -funroll-loops and -ffast-math are commonly used by people who
don't understand what they mean but like the thrill it gives them to
compile their application with secret optimizations (e.g. the word
"fast" makes them feel excited).  However, the former is often not
actually an optimization (which is why it's not on by default), and
the latter can cause incorrect computations (but I think it's
completely irrelevant in the kernel which does not do FP math).

gnome_upgrade script question

[dick hoogendijk]

I have a spare 6.0 computer on which I ran the gnome_upgrade script.
My g** .. 47 ports were deleted amongst which are very big ones like
mozilla and all of KDE. This will take me a very long time to rebuild.
And this only because glib2 is changed?

I don't like this at all. It's a brandnew 6.0 system..
Is it really neccessary to rebuild all of KDE??

If I don't want this which ports do I have to set "on hold" in
pkgtools.conf to run a "normal" portupgrade once in a while without
getting into trouble?

Hello freebsd-mobile,
i'm a quite experienced Debian laptop user using an Acer Travelmate 8005. I
would like to install freebsd on an external USB or Firewire HD and choose
which OS use at startup (maybe within the GRUB loader). However i'm a BSD
newbie.
Could you give me some hints on how to perform this task? What option should
i choose for the bootloader?



I've installed it on USB keys and external USB drives with no problem.

Since I was only using those for experimentation, I never modified my 
boot loader.  My BIOS provides a boot menu for selecting the boot 
device, of which "external USB device" is an option.  I found this 
cleaner, since when not using those devices I do not have to go through 
the FreeBSD boot menu.


Hints?
For my situation... I booted from the CD.  When asked to slice and 
partition my disk... I chose the external USB device.  I selected the 
'standard boot loader'.  Then the rest of the magic is handled by my BIOS.


Don't know if that helps you much.

The problem is that you have ports that rely on the OLDER version of
the library than that installed by the current port.  This is because
you didn't upgrade them properly.  When you upgrade a port like glib,
you need to also upgrade everything that depends on glib.  The easiest
way to do this is using a tool like portupgrade (Michael will tell you
to use portmanager :-)

Kris

P.S. The symlinks you created may cause the application to be
unstable, since the new and old libraries are not identical and do not
have the same interface.

Couldn't have - I don't have the nvidia driver.
(I had problems using portupgrade, went back and read
ports/UPDATING, then did things by hand.  Took maybe 15 minuted
longer than if everything had worked.)

ports db a mess after portsnap fetch/update

[Hans Nieser]

Hi list,

I just did the usual portsnap fetch/update routine to keep my portstree up 
to date and check for new versions of installed packages. But after doing 
a pkg_version, I noticed the following line:


gaim!

Thinking that perhaps my ports database got corrupted I ran "pkgdb -F", 
which resulted in the following mess:

Although the "gaim !" thing seems to have been fixed, it starts asking me 
all kinds of things about dependencies that I know nothing about (and to 
be honest, I don't care to know anything about - I want it to 'just work' 
(tm) ).


I tried entering the suggested answers, but the next "pkgdb -F" presents 
the exact same questions and are apparently not resolved by using the 
default answers. "pkgdb -fu" doesn't appear to help  either.


Can anyone tell me how to fix all this (or point me to any 
guide/article/manpage/whatever for me to read), and how it possibly 
could've gotten this way? The last thing I did before the portsnap 
fetch/update routine was installing a bunch of ports (linuxpluginwrapper, 
linux-flashplugin, linux-flashplugin6, linux-flashplugin7) trying to get 
the cursed flash plugin to work for firefox (without success by the way, 
but that's another story...).

You did it in the wrong order. 

#search xorg-clients

Info:   X client programs and related files from X.Org

You can see that xorg-clients depends on xterm. Install it first and 
then xorg-clients

I found that if I deleted xorg-clients and then xterm, I could reinstall 
xterm and then xorg-clients. I did this from a KDE session. After all 
of this was done, I ran pkgdb -F and it didn't have any problem 
connecting to xterm-206_1.

RAS

[Efren Bravo]

Hi,

Can freeBSD be used as RAS server for windows
boxes?  
  
If freeBSD can do it, where can I start, I mean,
services do I have to download and install?  
  
Thanks a lot.

Efren Bravo.

You should adjust the delivery concurrency of postfix in master.cf to match how 
many amavis/virus scanner tasks you are able to run on your system.


For example, if you limit amavis to three children, you should have this:

# virus scanning
scanunix  -  -  n  -   3  smtp

Remember that each amavis or virus-scanner process can require 30-50MB of RAM, 
depending on just how big the email going by is...

Thanks for the quick and concise reply. It made sense to me to

but I couldn't figure out why xterm would be alone. Now I have

I tested portmanager on this yesterday, it handled the conflict without a 
hitch, you may want to give it a try: sysutils/portmanager

* REPLY SEPARATOR *
On 10/11/2005 5:29:42 PM, Gerard Replied:

If all else fails, update your ports tree and install portmanager
(sysutils/portmanager). I would then recommend cleaning out your
/usr/ports/distfiles directory and possible running portsclean -C -D -DD
-L -P -PP which will pretty much clean out every conceivable bit of
extraneous garbage on your system. Then run portmanager -u -f -l. It
will take awhile, but it should properly rebuild everything on your
system.

Good Luck!

New releases of xterm are made far more often than full X11
releases, so it makes more sense I guess.  Every time a new
version of xterm is out, you don't really need to download &
rebuild monster-tarballs with all the X11 sources.  A simple
portupgrade invocation takes care of updating just xterm:

# portupgrade -vuN xterm

That's probably why it's a separate port.

Re: ntp handling in 6.0

[Dave]

Hello,
   Thanks for your reply. My server box does indeed have ntpd running i 
confirmed it with ps -aux and it does have a pf firewall. The rules are:


# allow UDP requests to port 123 from firewall to exit ext_if_if
# in order to contact internet ntp servers
# (keep state on this connection)
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto { tcp, udp} from $ext_if to any port 
123 keep state


# allow UDP requests to ports 67, 68, and 123 from # in order to perform 
dhcp and ntp queries on the firewall

# ( Keep state on this connection)
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto { tcp,udp } from $int_net to $int_if 
port { 67, 68, 123 } keep state


and ntpdc shows me a prompt.
Hope this helps.
Dave.

Hello,
Has ntp handling changed in 6.0-RELEASE? I've been through the
handbook and /etc/defaults/rc.conf but haven't found the answer to
this. I've got a machine acting as an ntp server for a network. When i
run ntpdate -b  from another machine i get the error "No servers
suitable for synchronization found". Ntpd from these other boxes shows
the same. From the local ntp server to the ntp servers on the internet
works fine.
The local ntp server's configuration is as follows:

/etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b servername"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b local ntp server IP"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

/etc/ntp.conf
server local-ntp-server-ip prefer
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift


Is there an ntpd running?
Is there a firewall in the way?
What does ntpdc tell you?

Use portdowngrade to downgrade both ports back to versions which worked 
then re-install them.  Once that's done it's safe to cvsup the ports 
again as long as you don't delete them.  Once this problem is fixed you 
can upgrade the ports.  See a thread on the same topic from about two 
minutes ago :-)


This has nothing to do with UPDATING, by the way.  Yes that tells you 
what order to do the upgrade but doesn't tell you what to do when the 
upgrade fails.

Glad the portdowngrade worked for you.  I would just leave those two 
ports alone for a while until you either see something on this list, or 
see them being updated through cvsup (or check the ports changes page on 
the freebsd web site every now and again).  Or just try upgrading 
xorg-clients again in a week.  If it doesn't fail, then upgrade xterm.  
If it does fail, it doesn't matter and try again a week later!

Right. This /is/ indeed the case. Sometimes there are some processes
that won't be killed normally. I get the warning "use ps axl" .. But
after a very long time the machine does shut down and a ps axl does not
show anything ;-) It does not happen always; so, I don't have a clue
how to investigate what causes the hangings.. any tips?

A glance at the bat book tells me the exception (no masquerading) is

Doh! I see it now. FreeBSD doesn't do it this way (so no "CE root").

For FreeBSD, non-masquerading for root is simply set by an entry in 
/etc/mail/exposed-user-names, which is brought in by the 
EXPOSED_USER_FILE directive in the default mc file. Edit 
exposed-user-names to your heart's content (and pay attention in

dhclient.leases grows forever?

[Luke Dean]

I've recently upgraded to version 6, and I'm using the new dhclient.
It seems to be working happily, but I've noticed that 
/var/db/dhclient.leases.rl0 just keeps growing and growing, with new 
leases being added to the end.  Leases that expired several hours ago 
remain in the file.


According to the manpage for dhclient.leases, this database is supposed to 
contain only leases that are "still valid", yet the expiration time on 
many of them has long since passed.


Is there a bug, a misconfiguration, or am I responsible for setting up my 
own script for purging this thing?  I can't find any cron-driven script 
that cleans up this file, so I'm wondering if dhclient is supposed to 
handle this itself, and if so, when?

Re: xterm conflicts with xorg-clients

complaining about some stale dependency to xterm. For example:

Stale dependency: amarok-1.3.6 --> xterm-206 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to

Then running pkgdb -F asks me alot of questions regarding this stale
dependency and I am not sure what to do with it.

Then I read in UPDATING that one must upgrade xorg-clients before xterm,
but when i tried portupgrade xorg-clients I got:

Stale dependency: xorg-clients-6.8.2 --> xterm-206

Hmm, going in circles. Then i tried with the -F and xorg-clients started

What to do now?

 

Don't delete any of those dependencies!  If you do then you will 
probably have to re-install those packages to get the dependencies back.


I believe upgrading xorg-clients and then xterm should work, if only 
that damn xorg-clients port would compile!  I found this link late last 
night which might help, but haven't tried it myself yet.


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-i386/2005-January/002040.html

If you don't want to do all that then you'll have to get the xterm port 
back to the state it was before cvsup.  Either get it from a backup or 
try portdowngrade.  Deleting xterm port *was* a bad idea, sorry.  If you 
had left it alone then you'd be left with working xorg-client and xterm 
installed and could either chase the fix above at your leisure or wait 
for someone to fix it officially.


Hope that helps,

I use a small script:

$ cat xmod.sh
#
# para español:
#
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x73 =  Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 =  n N ntilde Ntilde"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1a =  e E eacute Eacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x26 =  a A aacute Aacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1f =  i I iacute Iacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1e =  u U uacute Uacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x20 =  o O oacute Oacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x14 =  questiondown question backslash ssharp"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x0a =  1 exclam exclamdown onesuperior"
xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = less greater guillemotleft guillemotright bar 
brokenbar"

and this gives me the spanish chars by pressing, for example,
the WindowsKey + n ---> ñ (n with tilde);

Re: 6.0R GENERIC makeoptions DEBUG=-g [Slightly OT]

This was by accident, but actually isn't a bad idea.  We discovered the 
problem at the last minute, after the 6.0-R builds had completed, and as 
they were rsyncing to mirrors.  After thinking about it for a few 
minutes, we decided that actually, it has some nice benefits that made 
it worth not rebuilding and re-mirroring.  If we were earlier in the 
release cycle, we might have changed the setting, however.


We identified a few specific upsides and downsides:

Good: We now have debugging symbols easily available and widely 
accessible for the GENERIC kernel shipped with the release.  This makes 
it much easier for developers to debug problems using that kernel, as we 
no longer need to ask end-users to build a kernel with debugging 
symbols, etc, in order to debug a problem.  Especially for a .0 release, 
this is a very useful, and has presented a problem in previous releases.


Bad: Kernel build times are now significantly slower, and required space 
to build a kernel significantly larger by default.


We'll see how it settles out -- CPUs are a lot larger, and disks a lot 
bigger than they used to be.  The kernel is stripped of debugging 
symbols before it is installed, so this is only potentially a problem on 
systems that already have enough space to hold source, builds, etc, and 
doesn't affect systems where the kernel is installed but not built.  
I.e., this doesn't affect the footprint for embedded systems, or systems 
where a kernel is built centrally and then distributed.


My recommendation would be to leave -g in unless you know that the added 
build time and disk space for the build process will be a problem for 
you. 


If I were to decide to remove this, and I have a small config file which 
includes GENERIC, what directive would I use.  For example, with a 
device I wish to remove I can use nodevice... for options, nooptions. 
nomakeoptions maybe?


Also... I once saw someone ask this and never saw a reply
Where can I find documentation of the above mentioned mechanism?

Thanks.

Hopefully you don't ever run into any problems requiring debug 
symbols, but if you do it will probably save you some time and hassle, 
especially if it's a problem that occurs once every six months, in which 
case rebooting with a kernel with known symbol layout will mean waiting 
six months to debug the problem. :-)

Special characters?

[Ron]

Hi,

How can I create the following characters: ïäéèçë (and others) in an
X-session without copy pasting them from Gnome Character map? Thus I
want to use the keyboard to use these characters in an easy way. Also,
I'd like to bind keys to them myself. I have seen the deathkeys option
in the gnome keyboard configuration, but that basically binds "e to ë,
but I don't seem to be able to configure it myself.

I have seen Xmodmap, but configuring that also takes a lot of time.
Any other options?

It hasn't been moved. It's still /etc/make.conf. The names of some
variables have changed from NOFOO to NO_FOO.

You can have it in the config file or in make.conf, both work. I don't
think that the kernel uses floating point, so -ffast-math shouldn't make
a lot of difference. The -pipe flag speeds up the compilation somewhat,
but has no effect on the generated code. The -funroll-loops replaces
loops of which the size is known by serial instructions. This is
somewhat faster but generates larger binaries.

Complete information about what an option does is available in the info
file of gcc. You can type 'info gcc' to read it, or use the info reader
built into emacs.

Unless you have an app that takes hours or days to run, I wouldn't worry
about optimization settings.

ftpd security/configuration question

[Robert Shepard]

Hello!

Probably a stupid question, but this has bugged me for a while and for 
reasons unknown, I just cannot seem to figure this out.



I wish to operate my FTP server (ftpd) in the anonymous access mode. 
However, what I desire to do is configure it so that the absolute root 
directory of anonymous users is “/var/ftp/pub”.



In other words, typing “cd ..” will not let anonymous users to see the 
“/var/ftp/bin” or the “/var/ftp/etc” directories (or their files).


I am running FreeBSD 5.3 stable.

I have tried various methods described in some of the other message 
boards, but I believe those were referencing previous releases of FreeBSD.


I also noticed that while the current FTP server is running, I do not 
have a lot of the files the handbook references, other than ftpusers, 
which is located in the /etc directory (note: not in the “/var/ftp/etc” 
directory. Files such as “/etc/ftpchroot”, “/etc/ftpmotd”, and 
“/ftpwelcome” are not present.


I did manually create the ftpwelcome file and placed copies in both the 
“/etc” and “/var/ftp/etc” directories. However, it does not get 
displayed prior to the FTP login prompt as the handbook suggests.


So, two questions:

Is what I am trying to accomplish possible?

What am I missing or need to do to accomplish these things?

Thanks,

Bob

/me too.
I finally settled for 5.4-RELEASE on my Vaio VGN-S5M/S. My quess from the
below snippet of dmesg is that there's something fishy about the second
controller (where the disk is attached) that is tolerated by 5.4's ata
driver, but not by 6.0's

atapci0:  port

Interrupt storm detected on "irq18: atapci1"; throttling interrupt source

I'm planning to file a PR on this, but need to do some more research first.

Yeah, I looked all over /usr/share/sendmail to find that config, but I
couldn't.  When I resolved this, I think I modified the template that the
macros start from to avoid having it re-written.  I'd appreciate it if
anyone can pass on what macro it is that controls this.

The amount of RAM may limit the usability of the system, but it has
nothing whatsoever to do with the bootloader.

The real problem is that BTX never gets around to loading any kernel.

Thanks to both of you! This appears to be causing my problems. (I
haven't been able to actually test it yet because when I "su -l" to root
and try to use "mail" to send e-mail it seems to use the user I
initially logged in with anyway.)

For the sake of completeness, I found the solution to removing root as
an exposed user at http://www.grok.org.uk/docs/smroot.html . (It does
require a bit more editing and adjusting of configuration files then I
would like, but it's well-explained and does kinda make sense.)

The following web page describes the process of making FireFox launch
Thunderbird, and vice versa, under Linux.  The process is identical for
FreeBSD:

http://www.schwer.us/journal/2005/05/01/getting-firefox-and-thunderbird-to-play-nice-under-linux/

Note that one of the two shell scripts the author uses as wrappers, invokes
/bin/bash.  You must change that to /bin/sh.  The sh on FreeBSD can handle
the code in the file.
