What kind of corruption are you seeing?  Blocks of zeroes?  Maybe you
need to call msync() before unmapping the region?  Or call munmap
before fsync.

On my laptop, if I'm in a hurry to get back up after a crash, I either
boot single user and log out instantly, or boot regularly and hit
Ctrl+C when the system begins fscking.  Either of these cause / to be
background fscked a few minutes after I'm up.

ICBW but to me it seems that iSCSI is like a distributed NFS backend.  You can
store the data on multiple devices, in multiple forms (as long as they
all talk iSCSI).  You can also have two storage sites (geographically
separate) connected by fibre and use those for storage.

5.3 isn't supported by ports any longer, so you should consider
updating to 5.4 or 6.0.

Re: apache2 php5 mysql4 problems

[Jack Cheung]

Just curious:
When you installed the php5-extensions, did you do a make config?
Also, my /usr/local/etc/apache2/Includes/php.conf has following 2 lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

If you have those 2 "AddType" lines in your conf file, does your
/usr/local/apache2/httpd.conf
contains the line "Include etc/apache2/Includes/*.conf"?
Also, did you restart Apache2 ?

As long as you don't lose any CPU features (e.g.
SSE3 or MMX), which is clearly your case, you're
absolutely safe to just swap the chips.


So would the same be true for a Pentium D - dual core or to move to a  
64 bit capable chip?  My kernel is already SMP enabled and running well.

As far as I know, you should have hostapd daemon running and configured
to get some WEP or PSK, or WEP-PSK sec working.

Try to search in google on how to do that, or wait for others to help

Uh. Buh. Could I just take my Dumbarse Award?

Solution to my problem: If you want GLX to work ... it helps to
uncomment the Load "glx" line! That was it - that was the whole
problem.

Now both machines are cranking away the ol' glxgears very happily.
I fully expect xscreensaver to show me many new and wonderful things
as well.

Which is what applying an IETF RFC license that designates the

>Simon's proposed license seems reasonable to me. 

Except that it is untried in a court of law.  If the author of an RFC
simply designates the entire RFC as a specification, by using
the IETF license that states "this entire document is a specification"
then you have an easy way to play within the already established
international understandings of what a specification is.

Just because the GNU did it with their own license doesen't mean that
this is a good way to go.

On the latest firefox it will recognize and launch the helix plugin, but it 
then just stops with a blank window. The plugin worked in the previous 
version of firefox. As for WMV, it didn't work even in the previous version. 
I googled the problem a while ago and ran across something about firefox not 
working with helix anymore, so I just sort of gave up. After I accidentally 
nuked linuxpluginwrapper I deleted and reinstalled everything and it still 
didn't work for me yesterday.

Realplay does work as a standalone if you copy the URL into it, so the problem 
is in the plugin. I don't know if any or all of this applies to mozilla. If 
linuxpluginwrapper isn't fixed soon I'll take all the pertinent  info from 
the last couple of threads and write up a how-to, as I do have flash and 
acroread working at this point with linuxpluginwrapper.

Mplayer works great with WMV, but running real-anything  does in fact crash 
firefox after a short time. Hopefully one of these apps will get fixed to run 
both protocols as plugins, but for now I'll settle for mplayer and run 
realplay stuff standalone.

Does FreeBSD 6.0 fully support PCI-Express?

[Hans Nieser]

Hi list,

I've been having troubles getting OpenGL applications' performance up to 
par. I have an Nvidia Geforce 6800GT with a PCI-Express interface and I 
use nvidia's closed FreeBSD drivers.


I have been told that FreeBSD (and consequently the nvidia driver) do not 
fully support PCI-Express which makes my card operate at the same speed of 
a plain old PCI bus, which would be a logical explanation for my troubles. 
I have however not been able to find _anything_ on the matter on google 
and I am now wondering how much truth there is to this.


My question is in the subject, I hope someone can clarify this as I it

Error Message on Boot

[Gerard Seibert]

Running FreeBSD 5.4, I receive this error message while booting up:

Updating KDM configuration

Information: reading old kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (from kde

= 2.2.x) Information: old kdmrc is from kde >= 3.1 (config version 2.3)


This message appears everytime I boot. I have the latest version of KDE

The problem is though, that it didn't have Apple's marketing
muscle behind it.

The thing that made Apple's decision to switch to MacOS X so great
was that they abandonded the old macOS Classic.  There is no upgrade
path so customers of the Mac either have to learn MacOS X or give
up the Mac entirely.  Most of them did give up the old OS.

If Apple had done the dual OS route like they did with AU/X 
then nobody would have switched from whatever the OS 9 descendent
would have been to MacOS X, and MacOS X would now be a footnote in
the history of UNIX.  People are, after all, somewhat lazy.

For a brief period of time Apple had a flash of lucidity and realized
they are a software company, that is what birthed MacOS X.  Unfortunately
that brief flash seems to have faded and they are right back to 
believing that the software is just a thing used to sell hardware.
That puts them in direct competition with the low-ballers like Dell.
Maybe one day Apple will understand that there is nobody out there
in the low-baller market competing with MacOS X.

apache2 php5 mysql4 problems

[Robert Munn]

I have been successfuly running apache2 as a web server with php5 as a
module.  Recently I needed access to a database so I tried  to upgrade
my system by adding mysql4 as the database server.

I had installed apache2  and php5 from the ports. Previously I would
install php5-extensions to build the mysql module for php.

After failing get the resulting php to recognize the mysql_ database
calls in php I noticed that the php5-extensions no longer build the
mysql extensions.

I have tried various things.  The most successful was to configure php
with the --with-mysql option. However this did not completelty solve
my problem. While database access was enabled from a php script, when
I use  the same codee in a web page to access the same database, my
browser pops up a window asking if I want to save the file to disk or
search for a program to deal with the file (suggestion Dreamweaver
since it a .php file).

Does anybody have the sequence of build commands for making a apache2
- php5 - mysql, a working web server environment?

I am running 5.4

With thanks

There's your problem `no carrier'. Your card is either:

1. dead.
2. not plugged in
3. has a bad cable.
4. bad switch.

Your netmask of 0xff00 on the ifconfig output looks dodgy as well.
It doesn't correspond to what you have in /etc/rc.conf

Cheers.

Re: FreeBSD 6 DVD

[Wojciech Puchar]

I would like to know when you will release the official FreeBSD 6 DVD so I
can purchase it from FreeBSDMall. Also I want to know what is including
this DVD. I think must be like other UNIX-like environments that have all
the OS files plus some extra software that you can download them from the
Internet. If so I will be very happy. I am using FreeBSD for a few months
and up to now I am very satisfied with its usage. Also recommend me some
good books how to administer or install properly a FreeBSD server.


included in /usr/share/doc/

:)

just make sure you installed docs with sysinstall.

an excellent set of books!

Re: Status of 6.0 for production systems

[Wojciech Puchar]

I remember back a while when 5.x had been recently released
as STABLE and the conventional wisdom said not to use it in
production until the 5.3 release.

Is there any such conventional wisdom as regards 6.x?



my home system is actually production system that can't be stopped for a 
long time. i moved finally from NetBSD for various reasons including real 
SMP support (real=not crashing and not all-giant lock).


what i can say is

1) performance is excellent. maybe it should be named FastBSD not FreeBSD :)

2) it DO has bugs, but i already filtered those than can make a problems 
for me.


3) first bug - kldunload means danger. many kernel modules just crash the 
system when unloaded. solution: just don't do it, not a real problem.


4) using kernel-ppp+pppd=crash after not a long time. that forced my to 
learn user ppp(8) which is actually MUCH better. same solution as 3.
anyway i don't see any reason why kernel ppp is maintained at all. user 
ppp+tun interface works perfect.


5) sio driver has bugs. no crashes but overruns are reported by thousands 
unless i patched sio.c to increase buffer eightfold. the real bug is 
somewhere else, and can always be repeated with just

dd if=/dev/ad0 bs=1m of=/dev/null

the larger bs - the larger buffer have to be set to fix it until some 
value than enlarging bs to anything doesn't break things at all.


i don't know how this all works in kernel so have no idea about the real 
fix.


but this fix is enough for now. if you don't use high-speed serial it 
shouldn't be a problem for you anyway.


6) still have to learn ipfw more, an excellent tool! incomparably better 
than NetBSD's ipf!




found no bugs on other things and system works stable. for 4 days now but 
stable without any problems, having stable 921kbps ppp link (which is my 
outbound connection) and all userlevel programs working fine.

Yeah, I just (re-)discovred that on my test (ubuntu) box.  For
some reason, mplayer looks like it doesn't wwant to be a plugin;
rather a stand-alone Windows a/v player.

Touchy are we?  China may have billions of investment coming into
it now, but they got that way because they made some hard, difficult
choices.  Such as deciding to put a lid on their population
growth and learn how to do it without having a war every decade or
so.  Such as cracking down on government corruption.  Such as
cracking down on public health.  It's not China with an AIDS
epidemic right now.

And I'm not saying China is perfect - they steal every engineering
idea in existence and have no respect for the patent process -
but they know they want to be a player in the world, they know
that the world is driven by economics today not arms, and they
have resolved to win at the economic wars.

Wrong, it may not jive with what happens in a certain percentage
of the rest of the world comprised of a SUBSET of developing
countries - that is, a subset of the set of developing countries.

But of course, if you put all those qualifiers in to make your
statements actually truthful, it would diminish their impact greatly.

>what you suggest and propose is not possible

Untrue.

>and things here are just
>different.

Anything is possible if you make it important enough.

As I already have said, once the oil runs out, which is going to
happen in a blink of an eye in geological time, and in human history
time,
solar energy will be the ONLY viable power source left - and the
tropics have the lions share of it.

Consider that the whole of RECORDED human history, is a much LONGER
time than even the most optimistic estimates of the length of time
left for fossil fuel resources.  Your great grandchildren (assuming you
have kids) will very likely have an exact date figured in their lifetime
that the fossil fuel resources will be dried up.  If you choose to
cop the attitude today that solar is impossible for your culture, and
just
give up on even trying to get it started now, then I guarentee that
when it's the only thing left, the rest of the world will be in your
country just like they are in Iraq today, and you will have lost any
chance you have of self-determination for your future.

I'd suggest you get cracking on building those photovoltiac manufacturing
facilities in your area, if you ever want to have a say in your future.
One day not very far in the future the world will be at your door
demanding
energy, and if you are still saying it's impossible then, well then
the world is going to just shove you aside and show you how to do it.

Only problem with that is that Star Office met a severe need (the need

when there wasn't anything else out there, but we have several choices
for workstations now, it will be a lot harder to get a group coalesced.

remote requests make KDM dump core

[epf1]

I have a FreeBSD 6.0 box that I access remotely using Cygwin/X
from time to time. I use XDMCP to connect up to it from my desktop.

Up till about a week ago this was working like a champ, but that has changed
since I ran portmanager. Now KDM dumps core the moment I probe it for a
connection from a remote box.

here is a bit from /var/log/messages:

Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91116 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91128 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process
Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91140 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process

KDM works fine from the console, I am able to log in just fine when I am
sitting in front of the box in question, but as soon as I try to connect
remotely KDM crashes & is promptly revived only to crash again. In Cygwin/X
on the remote box I get the traditional X windows gray hash screen & the
"X" cursor for a split second then KDM crashes & the process starts anew.

I have run into one other user who has the same problem. It presented itself
to them after upgrading from KDE 3.4.2 to 3.4.3. I noticed the issue after
portmanager rebuilt KDE after libidn (/usr/ports/dns/libidn) was moved from
/usr/ports/devel to /usr/ports/dns.

If you have the ability to check & seem if KDM is accepting remote requests
could you please do so to confirm the problem? Also, any advice on how to
track this issue down would be much appreciated!

I also just installed mplayer for much the same reason. One question, does one 
also need to uncomment the commands in mplayerplug-in.conf? I notice that 
they are all commented out.

sendmail / smtp auth

[Martin Schweizer]

Hello 

I read a lot over sendmail's smtp auth function in google, sendmail.org, 
O'Reilly 
sendmail book and FreeBSD's handbook etc. But now I'm very confused. 
My setup (all stuff from updated /usr/ports): 
FreeBSD 5.4
sendmail 8.13.3
Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12
Cyrus SASL2 2.1.21
MailScanner 4.46.2

After I configured sendmail for smtp auth (like described in FreeBSD's 
handbook) all mails no longer delivered to cyrus imapd. They now delivered 
local to root. I only changed /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and /etc/mail/auth-info 
(see attached). If rollback to no smtp auth then all works like a charme. My 
goals are to use sendmail for client relaying (for mobile users) and sendmail 
send mails with smtp auth to another mail server.
Any hints are welcome.

sendmail.mc:

Someone would first need to port the code to run on FreeBSD before it
can be incorporated into the FreeBSD OS.

We monitor for it constantly on the pointyhat package build cluster.
It's sometimes the case with new ports or upgrades, but these are
almost always fixed within a day or two.

Thank you. I installed mplayer with the plugin and it works great. There's 
also a nice front end called kmplayer which integrates into kde and works 
nicely. Thanks again to those who replied.

Another gotya is that pluginwrapper now installs the plugins in 
browser_linux_plugins, which native firefox or mozilla will not see. You have 
to change all the plugin links so they are in browser_plugins as well as 
changing the nppdf.so (acroread) link to the right place as above. Another 
option might be to nuke browser_linux_plugins and make the directory a link 
to browser_plugins before building pluginwrapper. On top of all this, I still 
have yet to get realplayer to play nicely with the current firefox. It worked 
with the old one but stopped working after the last firefox upgrade. I don't 
know if it affects mozilla.

I found that NetBSD doesn't boot from CD, FreeBSD 5.4 does, older DragonFly
does not, but newer DFly does.  I have no idea why, but my laptop doesn't like
some CDROMs for booting.

Wireless pc card on FreeBSD 6.0

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I have my wireless card associating with my access point using the
following command from the doc at:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ath&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD
+5.3-RELEASE

# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xff00 ssid WEBTENT

But cannot browse the network at all. I also have a wired connection to
the network on the laptop and cannot ping the address assigned to the
wireless card unless the wired connection is connected, why would this
be?

Also, of course, as you can see above, I need to get WEP going, but not
sure how to specify the WEP key in ASCII or determine the HEX needed
from the ASCII key, can someone suggest how this is done? And I'd like
to get it to use DHCP, how would I do this?

Re: Question about ZFS support

[Wojciech Puchar]

Are you planning to include support for ZFS(link below) into FreeBSD in any
future releases?



http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/

while i'm not FreeBSD coder i would ask question - how does it REALLY 
work - contrary to information.


i mean how it works in practice.

IMHO checksumming every data (not just metadata) is nonsense if it cannot 
be turned off. this makes every transfer not just I/O bound but CPU and 
memory transfer/cache bound too. while disk and memory bandwidth in todays 
machines are quite comparable (memory is faster but not THAT faster than 
linear disk I/O) it isn't just "a little thing".


built in compression isn't good idea IMHO - of course it doesn't hurt if 
it's optional. today disk space is rarely a problem, while huge files are 
often not much compressible.


by general description filesystem looks very nice.

thats theory - did anyone made a real test on real system?

The server has dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz. I searched and found a

Problem with OpenBSD dhclient

[Jonas Wolz]

Hello,

I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 and now my dhclient
configuration (which did work perfectly with the ISC dhclient) doesn't work
anymore.
On my laptop I'm using a static lease in dhclient.conf (attached below) as
it is roaming between different networks.

On the network without the DHCP server dhclient shows the following
messages, but leaves sis0 unconfigured (it doesn't configure the default
gateway or resolv.conf, too):

DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPNACK from 192.168.0.1 rejected.

No DHCPOFFERS received.
Trying recorded lease 134.60.220.229
bound: renewal in 855549552 seconds.

If dhclient gets its lease from a "real" DHCP server everything works fine.

Does anybody know a workaround or is the OpenBSD dhclient just buggy?

Installing FreeBSD on a Compaq Presario R4125

[NuclearDog]

I have been trying to get FreeBSD installed on my Compaq Presario
R4125 for a while now. I have tried:

 - FreeBSD 5.2.1 (i386)
 - FreeBSD 5.3 (i386)
 - FreeBSD 5.4 (i386)
 - FreeBSD 6.0 (i386)
 - FreeBSD 6.0 (amd64)

I have tried safe mode, and booting with ACPI disabled. I have tried
setting hint.atkbd.0.flags to 0x1, 0x8 and 0x9. I have tried booting
with:

hw.acpi.skip_timer_override="1"
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x9"

And it still hangs.

It hangs immediately upon selecting an option from the boot loader,
except escaping to the boot prompt. Attempting that will cause it to
hang after typing 'boot'.

To clarify, by 'hang' I mean the little spinner spins maybe two times
then stops on '-' and the computer quits responding.

Any help at all is appreciated!

I don't think that this is an FreeBSD related issue as I
just deleted some discs under 5.4 and 6.0 without trouble.

Probably it's just a compatibility problem
between your drive and the CD-RW.

"Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation" makes decent CD-RWs.
Get one of those and see if the problem remains.

wheel, duh! sorry for asking such stupid questions. I hope this one is
not so stupid - how can I get the users to show up on the user list in
the gdm when using a template that shows a list of all users? I
have /etc/pam.d/gdm all setup and can login no problem with LDAP users.
Actually, this list does not even populate with the system users.

BTW, after several years working with FreeBSD as a server, this is the
first time using FreeBSD as a workstation with GUI, very nice. I think
better than my Linux workstation as far as the number of bugs (haven't
found any yet). But I'll have to admit, the setup for things like LDAP
much easier in SuSE Linux, all integrated into GUI. But I choose
stability over ease of use.

Question about ROOT LOGIN

[Allen D. Tate]

I am sitting here beside my FreeBSD machine and suddenly see this:

login: Nov 21 11:54:27 freebsd login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0

and I don't know why it popped up. Isn't ttyv0 the console? You don't
think someone has hacked into my system do you?

It uses part of the command line to determine where it's run form. 
That way it knows to look at like /etc or /usr/local/etc for

Try this:

It works for freebsd but you might have to play with isc-dhcp with 6.0
as it is a bit different.

I stick with fvwm myself. It's such a beautiful program and it gives

Why don't you fire it up and see for yourself? ;-)
Sure you can use kde programs with fvwm. It takes a littel more time to
fire the first one up, because the libraries need loading. After that
it all works like a charm. The same goes for gnome apps.

 In order to manually call up apache.sh in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d
directory, you have to use the full path to the script.

 If you:

cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
./apache.sh start

 it should complain and error out. 

 but if you did:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start

 things should go as planned.

 That's, at least, if you wanna do it manually (to either stop or start a
service that has a shell script in there).

Re: Re: reaplay and mplay/mplugin....

[myfreebsd]

Gary,

I am sorry I misread your email. I haven't really tried too much to have 
streaming audio through the browser (Although I don't see how this would be 
different). My problem with Realplayer is that I could get sound but no video. 
mplayerplug-in is still under development so I am sure they will get it worked 
out eventually. In the meantime, I would checkout plugger. It doesn't try to 
haddle the stream itself put hands it off to other apps such as mplayer or 
xine. Might  work better for you. I am actaully going to give it a go tonight.

Re: Re: Load at 1.00 on SMP machine

[myfreebsd]

Have you tried it as follows:

1. Compile kernel with SMP and APIC included
2. Set machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 in loader.conf or sysctl.conf (0 not 1)
3. Set machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1 in loader.conf

See if that helps. If not, remove machdep.hyperthreading or set it to 0. From 
my understanding that should disable HTT

>From FreeBSD 6.0 RelNotes:
Because of an information disclosure vulnerability on processors using 
Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT), the machdep.hyperthreading_allowed sysctl 
variable has been added. It defaults to 1 (HTT enabled) on FreeBSD CURRENT, and 
0 (HTT disabled) on the 4-STABLE and 5-STABLE development branches and 
supported security fix branches. More information can be found in security 
advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt. [MERGED]

I think machdep.hlt_logical_cpus does not deactivate the other cpu it just 
keeps the OS from directing data to it hence the 1.00 load on your remaining 
cpu.

So that's why firefox disappeared last night.  ... .

I found the real=0/=1 tag in the mplayerplug-in.conf so I
understand *that's* why mplayerplugin fires up after I've 
tried to listen to a streaming Windoze site.  It seriously 
torques me when mplayerplugin works only One time; then

Right.  Thanks for looking at the license.  We have later identified a
potential problem, in that removing all references to the source
organization is not what we always want.  It seem useful for derived
work to continue to be able to state that they are derived from an
IETF document.  I.e., the IETF must be mentioned if you are going to
cite it.

I'll post the updated license on freebsd-doc, it was suggested to move
this discussion there, to reach a better audience.

Hi Ted.  I have not seen anyone suggest this before, and I strongly
doubt that anything as complex as a specification would be excepted
from copyright coverage.  All specifications I have read have been
copyrighted.

Perhaps you are thinking of US Governmental works?  They are not
copyrighted in the same way other works are.

Please provide me with a reference for this.

Maybe this is

the problem of the high load?


Why are you setting machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1? My understanding,  
this would turn off one of the cpus. It should be set to 0 to have  
both cpus going. Also it is set in sysctl.conf not loader.conf, at  
least, that is how I have it.


Both CPUs are working. Also, works with machdep in loader.conf.
Thats not the problem.

I am also curious how machdep.hyperthreading_allowed works. I run 6  
so I believe it is turned on by default. Is this correct? Also if  
it is a solo cpu with HTT, do you need option SMP and  
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 set or not with  
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed on?


I do not know. I just want turn off HTT, but stay with SMP. So i want  
my two phyiscal CPUs working, but not the logical (HTT) one.
This is because is think maybe the load of 1.0x comes from turning on  
HTT. Well, if i do not use SMP in the kernel, the load is fine, but  
there is just one of the physical CPUs working.

You will also need to change the libmap.conf entry for acroread. It points to /usr/compat/linux and needs to point to the nppd.so in /usr/local/lib/acroread.

Really odd issue with KDE3.4 and FBD 5.3 with sound.

[Steven Lake]

Just recently upgraded a box from a static server to a workstation and 
installed KDE 3.4, upgraded the kernel to the latest patch.  Yet when I play 
two audio sources, about 2/3rds of the time it gags KDE pretty badly and I have 
to shell in from another machine and kill the process.  Any ideas what might be 
causing this?

I've got the following settings configured in my sysctl.conf file.

hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=6
hw.snd.maxautovchans=6

It works properly on another machine very simliar to it without a problem, but 
not this one.  The only difference is that the board in the machine this config 
works on is an MSI Nvidia board (N7 something, I forgot what exacty) and the 
one it's not working on has an Asus A7V8X-X board in it.  Would this have 
anything to do with my issue, or is there something else I'm unaware of?

Wireless networking issue with cm9 card

[Leon Botes]

I am using a routerboard 14 on freebsd 6.0.
I have Senoa 5354 card installed and setup as an AP an all works fine.
I use exactly the same setup with a cm9 card and i get exactly nothing.
Tried setting it to be an AP client and it sees nothing.

The lights on the routerboard keep flashing rythmically for the cm9 
while those on the 5354 are on constantly.

Has anyone had experience in this configuration.
dmesg gives same output for cm9 as for 5354.
Is there any configuration specific to the cm9 that is different.

Thanks Leon

In the rc(8) manpage, it states that .sh scripts are sourced directly.

 4.   Call each script in turn using run_rc_script() (from rc.subr(8)),
  which sets $1 to ``start'', and sources the script in a subshell.
  If the script has a .sh suffix then it is sourced directly into the
  current shell.

Why is that? I've found that running apache.sh directly with
start|stop doesn't work. I need to run apachectl.

No, it is not a matter of *where* it is inserted.  It is *what* is
inserted.

And Shift-insert only works between my X apps.  Copying something from my
(X-generated-fluxbox) xterm does not paste anything when doing this, say,
in my web browser search field.

Um... actually VERY easy...

Step 1:   install nss_ldap & pam_ldap
2:edit /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf
  edit /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf
  edit /usr/local/etc/ldap.secret
3:	  edit /etc/nssswitch.conf, change from 'files' to 'files ldap' for 'group', 
and 'passwd' (optionally) 'hosts' too.
4:	  do a quick 'ldapsearch -x' to make sure you are connecting/searching the 
correct ldap tree...
5:	  edit /etc/pam.d/ file(s) for which types of accounts you want to 
authenticate. ie: system, login, ftp, ssh, other, etc... should have to add a 
line like:


authsufficient  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so  try_first_pass

That should be it. Assuming your librairies are up to date, you have a valid 
db/tree in ldap you can connect and search... then you should be able to login 
right away.

Question about ZFS support

Are you planning to include support for ZFS(link below) into FreeBSD in any
future releases?

 You have to add a line in /etc/rc.conf. I think it is
 samba_enable="YES".

If you're talking about implementation no, it's not. In order to start
a service with "start" argument it needs to be "enabled" in
/etc/rc.conf. It's nicely documented in various places like man 8 rc
or /etc/rc.subr.

What OP is looking for is 'onestart' and 'onestop' parameters. I was
looking for a solution to the same issue some days ago and found that
in /etc/rc.subr:

#   If argument has a given prefix, then change the operation as
follows:
#   Prefix  Operation
#   --  -
#   fastSkip the pid check, and set rc_fast=yes
#   force   Set ${rcvar} to YES, and set rc_force=yes
#   one Set ${rcvar} to YES

Basically "/etc/rc.d/sshd onestart" will let you run sshd service
without enabling it in rc.conf (which also means it'll start at boot
time) yet it checks if sshd is not running already.

Hope that helps,

Karol

HELP! ports messed up

[cs]

Hi,

On a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 machine I maintain a partial port tree by 
using "porteasy -u foo" to pull in new ports when needed and a daily 
periodic script to do update /usr/ports as follows:


cd /usr/ports
cvs -f -q up
make fetchindex
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u
/usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -Fa

The CVS/Root entry is: :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs

Recently, I began to experience problem with the cvs repository above, 
error messages are (from 10 Nov):


ssh: connect to host anoncvs.FreeBSD.org port 22:
Operation timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server
(consult above messages if any)

and (from 14 Nov)

Cannot access /home/ncvs/CVSROOT
No such file or directory

I now am having problem with (I suspect) the port indices.

If I run "pkg_version -vL=", I get:

fastest_cvsup-0.2.9_2  >   succeeds port (port has 0.2.9_1)
p5-Class-DBI-3.0.12>   succeeds port (port has 3.0.10)

If I do a "portupgrade zoo", it says:

I have tried the followings but still cannot resolve this:

pkgdb -Fu
pkgdb -fu
portsdb -Fu
porteasy -ua

I dont think I can do a "portsdb -U" because my portage is partial (am i 
right ?)


Please HELP!

p.s. since I realized that anoncvs.freebsd.org is unavialble, I have 
switched to use anoncvs1.freebsd.org, e.g. in the daily script I use:

"cvs -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs -f -q up"

I have noticed that numerous applications, including HTLM forms tend
to insert where-ever the mouse pointer is rather than where the
cursor is.   Or, maybe, as soon as you click the mouse to do the 
insert, it first changes the cursor position to wherever the pointer
is and then does the insert. 

So, I just have to make sure I move my mouse pointer to exactly where I 
want things to insert.   I get caught on this frequently.

I don't know if that is what your situation is, but it sounds like a
possibility, so check it out.

Yup.  That fixed it.

That's why I ask questions on this list - because you guys are wicked smart.

Thanks.

Re: uninstalling packages...

In short, yes.  This isn't windows :-)

The long answer is that each package provides information about what 
files it installs and thus what files to de-install.  So the maintainer 
of the package/port has to get the list of files correct, but I've 
rarely seen any problems.  So if you find that a package isn't deleting 
something you should ask here or contact the port maintainer.


However, if you create any local configuration files (say, for example, 
/usr/local/etc/smartd.conf, or user specific openoffice directories) 
they shouldn't be deleted.

You will also need to change the libmap.conf entry for acroread. It points to 
/usr/compat/linux and needs to point to the nppd.so in /usr/local/lib/acroread. 
You will need to enter the full pathname (sorry I am at work on MS).

It's supposed to; that's one of the tests that porters are supposed to
make before submitting a port.
