 by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
 If you really wish to overwrite the old port of databases/db43
 without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"

Hello Sasa,

You have two options around this, I think;

portupgrade -m FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1

or add

FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes to /etc/make.conf

Apache2 config file differs from that of 1.3.x so you will have to craft
a whole new config file. Vhost rules will work mostly without any major
changes.
PHP (lang/php4, lang/php4-extensions, or www/mod_php4), depending on the
one you use, will need to be reinstalled. MySQL and Squirrel will not
require any changes that I know of.

You can configure your DHCP server to assign a particular IP address
for a MAC address. If you're using the isc-dhcp server, this can be
done the following entry in /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf:

host hpprinter
{
hardware ethernet 00:12:23:56:78:9a;
fixed-address 10.0.0.1;
}

You'll have put in the correct MAC and IP address.

I'd like to upgrade Apache13 to Apache22, but I'm wondering what else I need
to change or reinstall? PHP, MySQL, SquirrelMail are those I'm wondering
about. Do I need reinstall them, some of them or change confics much. Or is
it just removing apache13 and installing apache22? And also can I copy paste

Re: HP 4M plus network printer question

2005-12-08 Thread Dave Webster

Thankyou for your suggestion.  I wound up with the
following /etc/printcap on my remote FBSD bos:

lp|HP4M|hp|printer:\

:lp=:sh:rm=10.0.10.1:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp:

where 10.0.10.1 is the IP of the printer not of the server machine.
Everthing's printing fine now.  But I do have another question.  I'm
using DHCP on the server to assign IP addresses to the hp printer, the
LAN FBSD and hopefully another LAN FBSD for my kids.  How do you put the
IP addresses in /etc/hosts if they are assigned dynamically without
having to edit /etc/hosts evertime the lease assignment changes?

This problem has come up previously when I try to ping between machines
using hostnames rather than the assigned IP addresses without telling
the /etc/hosts files the actual IP addresses and what names they resolve
to.  Is there some way DHCP can be configured to pass on the FQDN to the
LAN machines and in return receive the FQDN from these machines and use
these names in conf files etc. even if the IP addresses change from
session to session?

Or am I going to have to use static IP address assignment?

IPA fails to run on 6.0

2005-12-08 Thread Odhiambo Washington


Hello pple,

For a long time I have been running IP (sysutils/ipa) on 5.x through
to 5.4. Then I decided to update the PC to 6.0-STABLE via cvsup.
I rebuilt all ports (portupgrade -af). However, IPA simply refuses to
run now. I have checked almost everything about rebuilding the port.

-bash-2.05b$ sudo ipa -d

IPA, version 1.3.6 (FreeBSD/i386 6.0-STABLE)

I have been using IPA with IPFilter.

I have googled and found no solution.

Thanks for any insights.

Help mounting my CD rewritable drive and floppy drive in KDE desktop

Could not mount device

mount_cd9660: /dev/acd0 input/output error

I get the same thing when attempting to mount my floppy drive.
Note:  I'm trying to read CDs with jpegs copied from a Windows XP box.

Re: MySQL "forgot" some of my data!

2005-12-08 Thread Michael Vince


daniel wrote:

Our company has a few very large databases (>9gb) which required a shut down, 
upgrade and restart last night, it this act has caused me all manour of 
headache:


 1. I did a full backup of all the data (Good Idea)
 2. I ran "mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown
 3. I waited... and waited... and waited

Twenty minutes passed and the server continued to say that it was indeed 
shutting down.  The only problem was that it wasn't shutting down.  The 
server's load was 0.00 and i could access mysql via the command-line client.


Ctrl-C'ing the shutdown and restarting it didn't seem to help either.  What's 
worse, logging in with the client had me freaking out when I couldn't find 
some of my data:


 mysql> SELECT * FROM campaigns LIMIT 0;
 ERROR 1017 at line 1: Can't find file: 'campaigns.MYI' (errno: 2)

After some investigation, we realised that a cron on another machine was 
running every minute, talking to this database, and assuming that this was 
the issue, we turned that stuff off too only to find that mysqladmin *STILL* 
wouldn't actually shut anything down.


So I decided to try a few other things:

 # kill -s SIGTERM `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

nothing

 # kill `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

still nothing

 # kill -9 `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

That did it.  Bringing the database back up though confirmed it, we'd lost a 
few whole tables and possibly some additional data as well.  No data 
corruption though, just loss.  A full restore from our now roughly 24hours 
old backup would be required.


So my questions to you, deal list are:

 1. Should mysqladmin shutdown take this long?
   a. Is this normal even with a load of 0.00?

 2. Is this the best way to shut down a database of this size?

 3. What is most likely to be the cause of the data loss?

Thanks for any insight here.  I hope this is a lesson to you all: Backups are 
Groovy ;-)
 

I have had this problem as well on a 30gig db, I dont remember exactly 
what it was but I had a hunch it was something to do with maybe my 
hostname change, I think I changed it from 'database' to 
'database.domain.com' via the 'hostname' command then edited the 
/etc/rc.conf file I think this stuffed up the running database pid file 
because it was looking for /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid instead of 
/var/db/mysql/hostname.domain.com.pid, but trying to bring it down 
manually didn't seem to work either.


It could be been something else all together, but I do believe it was 
config changes around the system that caused it, I do believe an instant 
clean shutdown of MySQL is possible (I can't test for you on mine, 
sorry) but it might require you to really restart you setup clean.

Advantage of Amanda, if I understand well, is that you don't need to
install anything on your Windows machines.

I have been using Amanda to backup various Unixes and Windows for
years now and it is very satisfactory.

I even wrote some web interface so that Windows user could add some
shares to back-up, without any sys admin help. OK that bit has not

Somebody else has pointed out that this was stated the wrong way

It would be nice if this were true.  We've seen claims of performance

Many database systems are CPU-bound.

MySQL has identified that there are some serious issues with FreeBSD

RE: simple shell script

2005-12-08 Thread Murray Taylor

Beech,

For what it is worth, and if you are interested in 
another method, here is a ruby script that I found 
somewhere and tweaked up a bit more.
(Probably not the best ruby, but it was my learning effort)

It is called by cron, and does a website 'connectivity'
test, ie it attempts to get the specified page. The script 
then generates a go/nogo email and exits.

This was built to monitor a web site at an ISP that was 
having serious brain damage with managing the DNS records
(they deleted the active list...;-( )
And it is still running as a health check to this day...

Run it _without_ the -v option and it will only email
when the remote site has a problem...



The ruby script
--8<
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'getoptlong'
require 'open-uri'
require 'net/smtp'

if ARGV.empty? then
  puts "usage: check_url.rb [-v] [-m emailaddr] "
  exit 1
end

# specify options
opts = GetoptLong.new(
[ "-v", GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ],
[ "-m", GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT ]
)

smtp_host = "smtp.example.com"
from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
url = ""
message = ""
flag = 0
verbose = 0
# default this
to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

# process args
opts.each do |opt, arg|
case opt
when '-v'
verbose = 1

when '-m'
to = arg
end
end

# test again, did we clobber all the args ?

if ARGV.empty? then
  puts "usage: check_url.rb [-v] [-m emailaddr] "
  exit 1
end

# get the url in question
url = ARGV[0]
subject="Web monitor alert re #{url}"

# go and test the site
begin
  page = open(url).read
  if page =~ /Error|Exception/
message = "#{url} has returned either Error or Exception"
flag = 1
  end
rescue
  message = "#{url} Unavailable\n - #{$!.message}"

I think you may run into some snags trying to use Amanda in a disk to
disk backup scheme. I use it everyday and it works great. I have also
used it in a mixed (Win/BSD) environment with no problems. I may
suggest you look at the various rsync-based solutions for disk to disk

Re: Bacula vs. Amanda vs. whatever ...

2005-12-08 Thread Martin Hepworth

Well I use amanda. It's DB doesn't need an external one like bacula so
restores can be less troublesome. BUT it can't span tapes if a backup is
larger than a tape

It can use a virtual tape setup so it you have a nice big disk(array) you
can backup to that.

I'd say try amanda, if things aren't working out try bacula - it's nice to
hav a choice...

What is the best tool to create automatic central backups? For now I 
just want to make backups on disk but later using an external tape

Some swear by Amanda, others insist Bacula works best with Samba, just 
curious is all.


Amanda is the one that works with Samba.  Bacula has its own client/server 
software.


I have a similar home network.  I used Bacula for over a year.  I used the 
SQLite database for the catalog and backed up to a Raid array.  I chose 
bacula because it allows me to have a single backup solution for both 
Windows and BSD machines, and the only thing I need to set up for 
communication is TCP/IP.


I had some serious deadlocking problems with bacula recently, and was led 
to believe that those problems were corrected in the version that's 
currently in the ports collection.  However I'm now having hardware 
problems (why did I buy a $20 RAID controller?) and am unable to make 
backups of any kind.  I will probably give bacula another try after I fix 
my hardware problems.


I have never tried Amanda.

These are the only two solutions I know of for making automated backups of 
both Windows and BSD machines.


I've read that bacula can make a backup that's complete enough to do a 
bare metal recovery on BSD.  Thankfully I've never had the opportunity to 
test that myself.  I don't believe either bacula or amanda can make a 
complete enough backup to do a bare metal recovery of a Windows machine 
because Windows locks so many critical system files while it's in 
operation.  I wonder if a combination of Microsoft's backup utilities and 
Samba might accomplish this.  There are several simple and good backup 
solutions for FreeBSD.  It's those darn Windows machines that are so hard 
to back up.

RE: Detect hardware changes

2005-12-08 Thread Keith Bottner

I realized I had the problem when ifconfig did not pickup the network card
after a reboot.

I went ahead and ran "pciconf -lv" like you suggested and the relevant
output looks like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0:  class=0x02 card=0x00241737 chip=0x10321737 rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'Linksys'
device   = 'EG1032 Gigabit Ethernet'
class= network
subclass = ethernet
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:12:0:  class=0x02 card=0x00c71028 chip=0x920010b7 rev=0x78
hdr=0x00
vendor   = '3COM Corp, Networking Division'
device   = '3C905C-TX Fast EtherLink for PC Management NIC'
class= network
subclass = ethernet 

The new NIC that I added is the first one and the old NIC is the second. It
seems that the system is detecting it fine but ifconfig still does not
display it and there does not appear to be a dev node for it as well. I
added the appropriate line in rc.conf and rebooted the system hoping that
would cause something to update properly but there was no change.

Are there additional steps that have to be taken?

Thanks for your help so far,

Keith

I think someone replied to you (or someone with a similar problem) just the
other day. Use "pciconf -lv" to list all hardvare. If you see none@ lines,
this means that no drivers did attach to the hardware.
Then you either need to recompile you kernel og load the correct kernel
module or, if the hardware is not supported, either write a new driver
yourself or replace the hardware (or the os).

You can use the ifconfig utility to list all recognized NICs installed.

Nope.  I am.

Download the gnome_upgrade script from freebsd:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh

And run it.  That may solve your problem.

Bacula vs. Amanda vs. whatever ...

2005-12-08 Thread Kiffin Gish

I have a home network with two FreeBSD servers (web- and file-server), a number 
of Windows desktops and a wireless FreeBSD laptop all connected to one another 
using Samba. 

What is the best tool to create automatic central backups? For now I just want 
to make backups on disk but later using an external tape drive.

Some swear by Amanda, others insist Bacula works best with Samba, just curious 
is all.

When I'm faced with a program trying to link some unknown missing
library, the first thing I do is remove it and see if there really are
any unresolved symbols.  On all the Linux boxes here, libbsd.a contains
a single symbol named "__dummy__".  I'm betting you can just remove

smartfilter, linux and you

2005-12-08 Thread Jay Desjardins

   We are attempting to get Smartfilter (content filter that plugs into 
squid)  to work on FreeBSD 6.0. A while ago, Smartfilter use to come as 
a port for FreeBSD, but after a while they no longer support BSD, only 
Linux and Solaris. I decided that now it's time to upgrade to a new 
version (of Smartfilter and the OS) yet again, I would like to replace 
the Red Had ES 3 server with a BSD box, not a newer RedHat box.   
Smartfilter's content plugin is designed for RHES 4, and I am trying to 
get it to work on 6.0 so I have run into a few problems, most which have 
been overcome, but this one persists.
   My problem that I am running into now is different then my other 
compiling/library problems. I did a pre-compile on the RHES 4 server, 
and now I am trying to compile squid on the FreeBSD 6.0 box. I can't 
seem to find out what library is missing here. I have done google, did a 
make all -dA and that's all I got down below. The other errors I could 
tell what was missing, this one has me scratching my head. I have tried 
to bypass that file to see what happens, and when I go to install it 
gives me the same missing library "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find" -lbsd on a 
different file. I thought that was interesting to say the least, so I 
know it's used in more then one spot. I have gone to the BSD handbook 
also and went thru the Linux compatibility section to make sure I wasn't

Problem with ral wifi driver

2005-12-08 Thread Kristian Vaaf


You're here, great!

I am new to this, so please bear with me ...

I've been trying to set up this Ralink Technology RT2500, identifying as ral0 
on my server so that
my laptop can connect to it and the internet. My gateway and firewall (pf) 
settings are all OK, so we can
skip those, because my setup worked with regular network interfaces before I 
bought the wireless one.
I know the Prism chipsets are preferred over the Ralink ones, but I am 
currently out of cash.

On my server, rl0 goes to my DHCP ADSL router whereas ral0 is suppose to be 
192.168.0.1 and
connect to my laptop, 192.168.0.2. This is how I tried setting it up:

# ifconfig ral0inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 \
mode 11b mediaopt adhoc ssid jah wepmode on wepkey 0x316e347465

The hex key here is correct, for 1n4te.
I did a echo 1n4te | hexdump -C to get it.

But when doing:

# ifconfig ral0 wepmode on wepkey 0x316e347465
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument.

The same goes for:

# ifconfig ral0 wepmode on wepkey 12345
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument.

When doing:

ifconfig ral0 wepmode off

Then my laptop can finally see my wireless network and ping my server. But 
that's it.

# ifconfig ral0
ral0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::214:85ff:fe1b:cbdf%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:14:85:1b:cb:df
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
status: no carrier
ssid jah channel 14
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS
bintval 100

# ifconfig ral0 list scan
SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
belkin54g 00:11:50:1a:1b:6d 11 54M 49:0 100 E
default  00:13:46:3e:5e:58 6 54M 39:0 100 EPSB

I've added if_ral_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf.
The wlan module has also been loaded.

This thing here works in Windows.

And apparently also in OpenBSD. That's reason for me not to give up.
Please, somebody who knows what's going on, please get in touch!

All the best,
K. Vaar

You can delete files under /usr/ports/distfiles/
If you need to recompile a port sometime it will be downloaded again.

I think someone replied to you (or someone with a similar problem)
just the other day. Use "pciconf -lv" to list all hardvare. If you see
none@ lines, this means that no drivers did attach to the hardware.
Then you either need to recompile you kernel og load the correct
kernel module or, if the hardware is not supported, either write a new
driver yourself or replace the hardware (or the os).

You can use the ifconfig utility to list all recognized NICs installed.

Ah, but of course.  Thank you.  I simply did an md5 of everything, and
diff'ed it against the CHECKSUM.MD5 of everything

Then why would you send it to a public mailinglist, that's archived

Hopefully.

The CHECKSUM.SHA256 file also contains a wrong entry for the CHECKSUM.MD5 but 
no entry for itself. Other directories have CHECKSUM.MD5 files which don't 
contain a hash for themselves. 

I guess an old CHECKSUM.MD5 file got included accidently.

MySQL "forgot" some of my data!

2005-12-08 Thread daniel

Our company has a few very large databases (>9gb) which required a shut down, 
upgrade and restart last night, it this act has caused me all manour of 
headache:

  1. I did a full backup of all the data (Good Idea)
  2. I ran "mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown
  3. I waited... and waited... and waited

Twenty minutes passed and the server continued to say that it was indeed 
shutting down.  The only problem was that it wasn't shutting down.  The 
server's load was 0.00 and i could access mysql via the command-line client.

Ctrl-C'ing the shutdown and restarting it didn't seem to help either.  What's 
worse, logging in with the client had me freaking out when I couldn't find 
some of my data:

  mysql> SELECT * FROM campaigns LIMIT 0;
  ERROR 1017 at line 1: Can't find file: 'campaigns.MYI' (errno: 2)

After some investigation, we realised that a cron on another machine was 
running every minute, talking to this database, and assuming that this was 
the issue, we turned that stuff off too only to find that mysqladmin *STILL* 
wouldn't actually shut anything down.

So I decided to try a few other things:

  # kill -s SIGTERM `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

nothing

  # kill `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

still nothing

  # kill -9 `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid`

That did it.  Bringing the database back up though confirmed it, we'd lost a 
few whole tables and possibly some additional data as well.  No data 
corruption though, just loss.  A full restore from our now roughly 24hours 
old backup would be required.

So my questions to you, deal list are:

  1. Should mysqladmin shutdown take this long?
a. Is this normal even with a load of 0.00?

  2. Is this the best way to shut down a database of this size?

  3. What is most likely to be the cause of the data loss?

Thanks for any insight here.  I hope this is a lesson to you all: Backups are 
Groovy ;-)

Metamail needs X11 which I don't want on the server, so I've gone with mutt.

well somewhere in the middle of make install packets for gnome2 it stuck.
I --ctrl-C-- it looked for the gdm.sh script in the 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/  and there

was nothing. Went to ~/.xinitric and commented exec gnome-session
I only left in /etc/rc.conf the gdm_enable="YES"
and restarted the machine (laptop).
Gnome started without any prob!
beats me completely!

You might want to consider using fetch, wget or curl for this
application, not lynx. A simple cron job to request and download
your webpage (if your webpage was google.com ; )) could be as simple
as:

Re: Copying kernel and OS

2005-12-08 Thread Paul T. Root


It should work fine. You need to preserve mod and access
times as well as flags and permissions.

If you are going to do this on a repeated basis, I'd look
into something like cvsup or rsync, maybe even mirror, to
keep the slow machines directory structures in sync rather
than a cp -Rp.

Jack



I do something like this.  I build on the fast machine, and then use 
NFS to allow the slow machine to access /usr/src and /usr/obj.  I have 
found that it is important to preserve the names of the directories, 
so that they are also called /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow 
machine.  Then I just do mergemaster, make installworld, make 
installkernel (in the appropriate order) on the slow machine, and it 
works like a charm.


The entries in fstab are like this:
hub2:/usr/obj/usr/objnfs rw,bg,noauto0   0
hub2:/usr/src/usr/srcnfs rw,bg,noauto0   0
where hub2 is the name of the fast machine.

In /etc/exports on hub2 I have something like this
/usr -maproot=root -alldirs -network 10.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
(here 10.0.0.0 is the IP addresses of my LAN)

and in /etc/rc.conf on hub2 I have some lines like
nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"

Then on the slow machine I simply type
mount /usr/src
mount /usr/obj

RE: not rebooting on panic 5.4

2005-12-08 Thread Ruben Bloemgarten

Hi all,
I spoke too soon. I could really use some help here. The situation is this :

I have a 5.4-release HP LP1000R(SMP kernel daemonology.net)  machine running
6 jails, 4 of which are currently in use, running full jails with 1.mysql
2.apache/php 3.qmail (mailtoaster 4.08) and 4. nagios. Approximately once
every 12 hours the box panics without rebooting. This behaviour started
after having moved +- 100 websites over from a different system. when it
does not panic, the load on the system rarely exceeds 10%. Ofcourse I would
prefer to figure out when the panics occur but at time my my priority is to
have the machine at least reboot automatically.

Actually, don't the docs suggest turning OFF ttyv8?  IIRC, the more
recent
approach is to put "gdm_enable=YES" (or something similar) in /etc/rc.d.
Check the pkg_message file in the port directory to be sure.

 


pkg-message points to www.freebsd.org/gnome, which doesn't say anything
about startup (AFAICS) except this:

Make GNOME 2.12 start when X starts.

Once you have the GNOME 2.12 desktop installed, GNOME 2.12 can be started
by adding the following line to ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc, as appropriate:

exec gnome-session
   



Yes, this detail was mentioned previously, and I did forget to repeat it ...

 


There's nothing about starting gnome in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

The Handbook suggests using ttyv8 (as I do) for xdm (section 5.6.2):
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure
   



Yes, this turns the display manager running on ttyv8 off - no display
manager will start up.  It does, however, create the virtual terminal for
gdm to start on.  This is actually the default entry anyway.

 



   



 


Section 5.7.1.2 says this:

The easiest way to start GNOME is with GDM, the GNOME Display Manager.
GDM,
which is installed as a part of the GNOME desktop (but is disabled by
default), can be enabled by adding gdm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Once
you have rebooted, GNOME will start automatically once you log in -- no
further configuration is necessary.

In short, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
   



Actually, I was under the impression they were just different parts of the
same procedure.  I believe the entry above assumes that /etc/ttys has not
already been modified to start xdm (i.e. it's still "off", which is the
default at install).

If the virtual terminal line is omitted or commented out, gdm will not
have a place to run.  If it is "on" instead of "off" that terminal will

guys,
I tried the gdm_enable="YES" and the exec gnome-session in another fbsd 
machine I have
(where I had the same prob with the laptop) and it WORKS! I searched for 
the script and i just runned it.

So I 'll tell you what will happen now with the laptop.

I suppose keeping Xorg from intercepting these key combinations and

Actually, don't the docs suggest turning OFF ttyv8?  IIRC, the more
recent
approach is to put "gdm_enable=YES" (or something similar) in /etc/rc.d.
Check the pkg_message file in the port directory to be sure.

 


pkg-message points to www.freebsd.org/gnome, which doesn't say anything
about startup (AFAICS) except this:

Make GNOME 2.12 start when X starts.

Once you have the GNOME 2.12 desktop installed, GNOME 2.12 can be started
by adding the following line to ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc, as appropriate:

exec gnome-session
   



Yes, this detail was mentioned previously, and I did forget to repeat it ...

 


There's nothing about starting gnome in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

The Handbook suggests using ttyv8 (as I do) for xdm (section 5.6.2):
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure
   



Yes, this turns the display manager running on ttyv8 off - no display
manager will start up.  It does, however, create the virtual terminal for
gdm to start on.  This is actually the default entry anyway.

 



   



 


Section 5.7.1.2 says this:

The easiest way to start GNOME is with GDM, the GNOME Display Manager.
GDM,
which is installed as a part of the GNOME desktop (but is disabled by
default), can be enabled by adding gdm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Once
you have rebooted, GNOME will start automatically once you log in -- no
further configuration is necessary.

In short, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
   



Actually, I was under the impression they were just different parts of the
same procedure.  I believe the entry above assumes that /etc/ttys has not
already been modified to start xdm (i.e. it's still "off", which is the
default at install).

If the virtual terminal line is omitted or commented out, gdm will not
have a place to run.  If it is "on" instead of "off" that terminal will
run xdm instead.  If "gdm_enable=yes" is not put in /etc/rc.conf (I wrote
/etc/rc.d in my last message, which was a mistake on my part), the script
installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ will not start gdm at startup.

Thanks for the correction regarding /etc/rc.conf.

Cheers.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I had already enabled

"gdm_enable=YES"

in /etc/rc.conf but still no change
I also tried the

Edit /etc/ttys like this:
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/sbin/gdm -nodaemon" xterm   on  secure

but it did not start after reboot. There was an error about 
not finding something (sorry i did not keep the error).

So I thought to "make install clean" from the ports again.
Now I m waiting for it to finish (takes a lot of time...)
and see it again.
I did that also because I did not find   the script
installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

I'll keep you informed.

This is interesting; how can the MD5 of a file be contained inside the

the MD5 algorithm does not converge, I would think this was

ipmon syslog facility in FreeBSD 6.0

2005-12-08 Thread Toomas Aas


Hello!

What syslog facility is ipmon using on FreeBSD 6.0? From the 
documentation I don't see that anything is supposed to be changed from 
5.4, where it was 'security'. So on my freshly-installed FreeBSD 6.0 I 
made modifications to /etc/syslog.conf similar to those that work on 
5.4. Basically I added this as the first uncommented line to 
/etc/syslog.conf


security.*  /var/log/ipfilter

However, nothing is logged to /var/log/ipfilter. I'm using the default 
value for ipmon_flags in /etc/rc.conf and ps output shows that 
'/sbin/ipmon -Ds' is running. At the same time, ipfstat -ih shows 
increasing number of hits on rules which have 'log' keyword in them. The 
logfile /var/log/ipfilter exists and is mode 0600, owner root:wheel.


When I enable all.log in syslog.conf, ipmon messages are logged to 
all.log. So it seems like I'm not using the correct facility for 
/var/log/ipfilter. How can I find out what the correct facility is? I 
tried reading the source, but it's beyond my comprehension (except 
contrib/ipfilter/Makefile, which seems to imply that it's still 'security').

Re: Upgrade 5.4 -> 6.0

Hi there!

> clamav, etc.

First follow the handbook for rebuilding world and kernel.
The first thing you should do is "cvsup" your source. As far as I've
understood,
it's recommended to upgrade to 6.0-release first, and then to 6.0-stable
if you want that.

When you've upgraded the base and kernel, you can sync your portstree with
portsnap or cvsup, and use either portsupgrade or portmanager to upgrade
all extra packages that
you have installed. If you don't have a quick machine, you might want to
use the "package-switch" to make it check for precompiled packages before
building from source.

Relevant handbook refs. I think would be:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html

FreeBSD doesn't detect the MBR, the MBR detects the bootable slices.
So, that concept is backwards.   If you mean will it overwrite GRUB,
no.  It will ask during installation if you want to write the FreeBSD MBR.
If you want to keep Grub, just tell it not to write an MBR.

You will have to tell it which pieces of disk to use as swap.
That generally goes in /etc/fstab.

The sysinstall utility will give you options to do whatever you
want with the drive including wipe it and start over.  I presume
you don't want that, so study it up a bit and select the most
meaningful options during boot.   It is all in the handbook, which
is online at freebsd.org.

AFAIK FreeBSD (and Linux) does not support nested groups (I'm not sure
about POSIX) :-(

So you can use ACLs (as I do now), or you can recompile world/kernel
with changed syslimits.h:
syslimits.h:#define NGROUPS_MAX16

as I did with FreeBSD-4.X. But be careful on system upgrading.
You need compile both world and kernel because these limits get compiled
to libc, kernel and some static linked utilite and some static linked
utilites..
