Linksys PAP2 with FreeBSD...

2005-12-30 Thread Forrest Aldrich


Anyone here use the PAP2 on FreeBSD.. perhaps with isc-dhcpd.

I plug it in and, despite whatever I configure it to be, it wants to 
take over the RFC LAN (systems stop routing/responding).


I'm gonna continue cracking away at it, but figured I'd ask if someone 
has seen this problem, etc.



Thanks.

The risks are that you system will perform 10-20% slower under load,
and may sometimes panic or spontaneously reboot.

In other words: ULE is not production-ready.  This may of course
change at a later date.

rpc.lockd snatches all priviledged udp ports

2005-12-30 Thread Palle Girgensohn


Hi,

An NFS server running FreeBSD 4.10 sometimes have the problem that all UDP 
ports below 1024 are used by rpc.lockd. This is not a high load server, 
really, it serves and handful workstations and should really cope. Is it so 
that rpc.lockd needs a port for each file, or else what is happening?


I found a discussion on -current from Jan 2004 about this, but I couldn't 
find that the problem was acutually solved? 
 
Seems to be a problem with rebooting clients?


BTW, can I easily "flush" the lock daemon to get some ports back? It seems 
hard to restart the lock daemon - I once tried but gave up and ended up 
rebooting the system. There must be a better way?


Anyone knows if this is fixed in 6.0?

thx
Palle

Obtaining an @freebsd.org email address.

2005-12-30 Thread Kevin Brunelle

Does anyone know what the requirements for a freebsd.org email address are?  I 
have looked but I can't seem to find a link to them nor a description of who 
I would contact concerning this.

I have read the following from the porter's handbook 
( 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/keeping-up.html
 )

"If you wish to use FreshPorts, all you need is an account. If your registered 
email address is @FreeBSD.org, you will see the opt-in link on the right hand 
side of the webpages. For those of you who already have a FreshPorts account, 
but are not using your @FreeBSD.org email address, just change your email to 
@FreeBSD.org, subscribe, then change it back again."

This seems to imply that
1) I need an @freebsd.org email address to fully utilize the site
2) I should be able to get an @freebsd.org email address for being a port 
maintainer.

My implications could be wrong so if anyone could point me in the right 
direction here (for clarification or who I should contact) it would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

This appears to be a problem with smbfs when dealing with timestamps in 
daylight savings time (or summer time, as you refer to it). I looked 
into it briefly, and from what I read it seems the kernel is divorced of 
knowing anything about daylight savings time (only a boolean value 
indicating whether or not it is currently daylight savings or not is 
maintained).


This means when times from the SMB server are translated, the kernel 
can't adjust the date/time stamps to compensate for the DST offset, as 
it doesn't know what the offset is... (not everwhere uses an hour 
difference for DST)


I'd love for someone to correct me and tell me that there's an easy way 
to fix this issue -- this was just my deduction after a brief look into 
the matter.

In short :
release - is something you want for your production system
stable - is something you can use too without much worry - it should be 
"stable" right ? :-)
current - is for brave people who like to spend nights to figure out 
what the hell is going on with their system and fight with all those

For start you should use at least stable version, you can always mess up

It doesn't return error but when I look up the new

attributtes and  then I can't change any attributes
inside the mounting point). By the way the mount is a
msdosfs type. 


Can I deal with this problem? Is it a bug (so I
report) or I am doing some mistake?



Hi,

"Non-root file accesses may yield unexpected errors.
If the "file system owner" is not equal to the user who is accessing
the file system, some programs may generate unusual errors when
modifying or creating files. This happens because all files that are
created on the MS-DOS FS are implicitly chowned to the file system
owner. Work-around: only the user who owns the file system should
have write permission for it."

...so if you need to have access under some user then you have to mount 
it into dir where this user is an owner. It is obvious because MSDOS FS 
(FAT) doesn't support multiple users.


Pavel



I've also performed a Windows XP to FreeBSD transfer

Try:

in your jail.  That creates (amongst other things) the hashed .db files the

Users unknown in jail, what to do?

2005-12-30 Thread Kövesdán Gábor


Hello,

I've set up a jail and started it with:

jail -u root /path/to/jail hostname ip /bin/sh

When I tried to install a port inside the jail I got an error message 
that I don't have the mtree files. I don't know why those files haven't 
been built but I copied it from the host system to the jail. Now I get:


mtree: line 6: unknown user root
*** Error code 1

I copied passwd, master.passwd, group, nsswitch.conf files, too, but I 
get the same. Could somebody tell me how can I solve this?


Thanks in advance,

Gabor Kovesdan

Hmm interesting question, I'm afraid that fastest but not very accurate

ACK!  Wires crossing!

Both the target and the client are FreeBSD-5.4, but
the target has limited flash and no local utilities so
I can't debug on it natively (I'd rather not mount NFS
utility partitions, but that's an option if there's
nothing more elegant).

So I do need a FreeBSD target gdbserver-like thing!

Paul.

Were you using portupgrade or portmanage? They are supposed to 
automagically take care of problems like that.

Sometimes, even if you use them, the build doesn't happen but if you 
look at the configure messages, you will see it is missing. Since it is 
in the dependancy list, I would just build neon and try building 
subversion again. 

I first would try updating subversion with one of the tools and see if 
it is fixed for you.

Some questions on chmod in FAT hdd

2005-12-30 Thread Joao Borges



  Hello everybody


  I've finally installed and ran Samba 3 on my FreeBSD
5.4. Then, wanting to share a directory I applyed on
directory

drwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1638 Dec 30 13:58 shared 

the following command (as root):

chmod -R a=rwx shared

It doesn't return error but when I look up the new
atribution it is the same. Indeed this directory is
inside a mounting point which has the same attributes
(ie the mounting operation copies the mounting point
attributtes and  then I can't change any attributes
inside the mounting point). By the way the mount is a
msdosfs type. 

Can I deal with this problem? Is it a bug (so I
report) or I am doing some mistake?

I've also performed a Windows XP to FreeBSD transfer
via Network using Samba. The transfer made useless all
the archives involved (some mp3). I shared a  full
access share on FreeBSD and then copied and paste on
the XP station the files. Then on FreeBSD they were
useless. Can anybody tell what happened?

Att

Oh; I thought you wanted to run gdbserver on *FreeBSD*.  The *client*
side is going to need a gdb agent of some sort; gdbserver might work
if the embedded machine is sufficiently Unix-like.  Otherwise, you may
need a custom gdb on your FreeBSD machine as well as a debugging agent
on the target.

Unable to build 'icu-3.4'

2005-12-30 Thread Gerard Seibert

Several users, including myself, are unable to install 'icu-3.4'. I have
contacted both the maintainer and the 'icu' development staff regarding
this problem. The following is the feed back that I have received up to
this point.

First of all, the output from 'uname -a'

FreeBSD seibercom.net 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Wed Nov 23
15:16:09 EST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SEIBERCOM3

I contacted the maintainer regarding this problem, and this was his
response.

-- Original Message Starts-

Congratulations! You have found a bug in ICU (or in one of its
self-tests). From your log:

[...]

Abort trap (core dumped)

You can avoid the crash by removing the 'a' from your MALLOC_FLAGS. To
fix the underlying problem, please, consider filing a bug report with
ICU.

I'll try to dig it up, but I'm a little swapmed at the moment :-( Thanks
for the report. Yours,

 - Original Message Ends 

Since I have no idea how to remove a flag, other than the one that flies
on the pole in my front lawn, I contacted the 'icu' staff and submitted
a bug report. The following is their response.

--- Original Message Starts ---

Please build a debuggable version of ICU, and supply a stack trace of
the failure in the bug report. We can't reproduce this bug on other
platforms with heap debuggers, and the test suite doesn't fail on other
versions of FreeBSD.

--- Original Message Ends 

The entire build and attempted install log is available at this URL:

http://www2.seibercom.net:9545/log/icu3-4

I would really appreciate it if someone could assist me with this
problem. I know for a fact that I am not the only individual that cannot
get 'icu-3.4' installed.

If someone could instruct me on how to make a debuggable version and
supply a stack trace of the failure it would be very much appreciated.
Any other suggestions, etc. would be very much appreciated.

This problem, by the way, is causing 'python-boost' not to build which
causes 'kdeede3' not to build either.

Thanks in advance!

Still no luck with PDFs or mplayer-plugin.

It's an issue with the linuxpluginwrapper port, several methods to

Thank you for the pointer, especially for the speed of your post.

It did, a little. Thank you.

But it's still vexing that all this stuff worked fine before, and that
the upgrade seems to have broken it. I'm also curious why
"about:plugins" shows, for example, mplayer-plugin installed for a wide
variety of MIME-types, but trying to access online videos no longer
starts mplayer-plugin as it did before the upgrade.

My meta-question remains: Is this documented, and if so, where?

Thanks for the info Lowell.

What do you mean by "some other form of remove
debugging"?

What I want to do is attach gdb from a development
machine to a process running on an remote embedded
target (stripped binaries, no source).  I've only
recently heard of gdbserver.  I'm happy to use an
alternative, if one exists.

This is where the -F option of portupgrade becomes *very* useful:

- On the system with the fast connection, you update your /usr/ports
  tree and then run portupgrade:

  # portupgrade -a -vuN -F

- Copy over both /usr/ports and /usr/ports/distfiles

Now updates from the disconnected system should be easy as long as you
use the same options when building the ports on the two systems (since
some of the port options may affect the number and version of distfiles
downloaded).

Another way to update systems that use similar versions of FreeBSD on
the same architecture is to use pkg_create(1) (with the -b option) to
save the packages of one system and pkg_add(1) to install them on
another.

if you play an mp3 using a non-kde app, like mplayer or mpg123 , it
will not play in my experience. artsd monopolises the sound device.
what you have to do is kill the artsd, then you can play mp3's using
mplayer or xmms or mpg123.

command to kill artsd:

# killall artsd
then try playing your mp3


I tried that and Noatun still doesnt play the mp3. But before i did

played fine.

Hi, again.
This time, I have done more investigation in the src/bin/cp source code
and I have finally found the problem :

In SMB only case, when utimes() is called *BEFORE* the fd of the newly
created file is close(), it does not do anything.

I have made a little patch to correct this.
So please, committers, can the correction be applied to the cp utility
(Perhaps it is the same problem in the tar utility) ?

I will be very grateful.

2005-12-30 Thread David Kirchner

I'm trying to track down a background fsck deadlock bug. I've found a
thread on groups.google.com about another person having a similar
problem but with snapshots. The suggestion made there was to compile a
kernel with DDB, and the user was referred to the Developer's
Handbook.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-ddb.html

The Handbook appears to be out of date -- it states that you have to
add "options DDB" to the kernel config to enable DDB. When you try
that, part way through the make depend process it informs you that you
also need KDB. Are there any other steps necessary to get DDB to work
on a newer version of FreeBSD (say 6.0-RELEASE)?

Since this particular deadlock test will probably take 12+ hours of
runtime to trigger, I'd like to get this right, so I can get as much
information as possible into a PR.

Okay, so you have FreeBSD's sound drivers working fine, and you just
need to get KDE to use it properly.

I don't know anything about KDE, but enabling virtual channels may
make life easier.  See the manual for sound(4) for details.

Yeah, the KDE sound system is artsd so that should be the correct

I've never used Noatun so I'm not sure if it has options that you need
to change for sound. If you have KDE's sound system enabled, you'll be
using artsd. If you have it disabled, then the OSS in FreeBSD should
take over again. So in the options, I'm not sure if it will give you a
choice to use artsd output or OSS output, but change them accordingly.

Other thing to make sure is that the KDE mixer levels are up. The test
sound may work even with some levels of that mixer being down, so look
through the KDE menus relating to sound for the Sound Mixer. Then make
sure things like Volume, Speaker, etc are all up. Also try the "Input"
area of the mixer, since I figured out a long time ago that that's
really the "Input" into artsd and if those are down it will not give
sound either (that may have changed since I used it though).

It is, but I believe it only works over SSH. Perhaps it can be

Can you use ssh?  I personally never use nor enable FTP anymore these

out there.  Regular FTP is just too insecure ( I don't know about more 
recent ''secure'' FTP ).  Just use ssh and if it's not available on

>From rsync(1):

   There are two different ways for rsync  to  contact  a  remote  system:
   using  a  remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or
   contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP.  The  remote-shell  trans-
   port  is used whenever the source or destination path contains a single
   colon (:) separator after a host specification.   Contacting  an  rsync
   daemon  directly happens when the source or destination path contains a
   double colon (::) separator after a  host  specification,  OR  when  an
   rsync://  URL  is  specified (see also the "USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES
   VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION" section for an exception to this  latter
   rule).

It looks to me like the "snd_driver" did it (since it shows  
"snd_es127x"

 loaded), but if you still are not getting any sound then check some
things.

1) The parts list you pasted seems like it's the Creative CT5807 sound
card. I don't see that particular model on the hardware supported  
list,

although similar models are listed under that driver (man snd_es137x).

2) Check the volume. Type "mixer" at a shell and make sure the levels
are up. The manpage for "mixer" should tell you how to change those
settings if you need to.

3) Are you running KDE or artsd? On one of my machines that I set  
sound

up on a long time ago everything was going fine (no errors, sndstat

FWIW my file/print server is old too.  CPU is an AMD K6/2-350.  It boots from 
a 20GB drive and then FreeBSD sees the 160GB and 40GB drives.  The BIOS sees 
the 40GB drive as 8GB and doesn't see the 160GB drive at all.  I set all but 
the primary master BIOS drive settings to NONE.

I also learned to my cost when experimenting with installing FreeBSD that 
setting the BIOS to NONE for an HDD which is actually plugged in doesn't stop 
FreeBSD from seeing it or formatting it when I slected the "first" drive as 
the one to slice up ;-)

Installed devices:
pcm0:  at io 0xec40 irq 11 kld snd_es137x(1p/1r/0v
channels duplex default)
This is my first time trying to get the sound working. I try play an
mp3 ans dont hear anything. Perhaps using the snd_driver wont work in
my case...
Is there a way to get freeBSD to show my sound device so I can load
the correct module? Or is there something else im doing wrong?
Thanks

If the PC is only three years old, and assuming that no one has worked
on it, just go to the Dell web site. Under 'support' you can  
navigate to

where you can place your PC's serial # and it will display how the
machine was built. That takes all the guess work out of finding out  
what

is installed.


Thanks for the tip, I got this, but am not sure if the sound card is  
listed?

Yes. In your supfile for system updates, put

Then, when you cvsup, you will get 6.0-RELEASE with the latest security

I haven't tried it yet on my r300 based card, so I don't know if it will 
actually work.  I think I read that you need to specify r300 as you xorg 
driver, not radeon. Radeon is the driver for older radeon cards, r300 is 
the driver for newer radeon cards.

This is because some of the ports have been updated since 5.4-RELEASE
was cut.  Ports are constantly updated and upgraded to newer, better
versions of the packages.  Using the same /usr/ports tree will always
build the same packages from the same sources though.  Sorry for not
making this explicit in my original post.

RE: sendmail-submit and envelope-from

Hi all, 

A pity nobody came up with any ideas, oh well. I decided to just change to
php syntax instead ( I'd still really like to now what was different in the
'working' setup though). It now reads 

The submit is still very slow, it takes approximately 3 seconds per mail.
Hmmm, I suppose I'll just have to delve into that wonderfull world called
sendmail even deeper. Unless, unless, maybe someone does have a pointer or
two ??

Anyway, thanks. (not being sarcastic here)

Subject: sendmail-submit and envelope-from 

Hi all, 

I hope someone could help me out with the following :

On 5.4 I'm running a few jails, one of which is running the mail::toaster
incarnation of qmail. All is well. From another jail I want to use a php
script to generate mailings rewriting the envelope-from:

 

This does work on a different system, not running on jails with a non ports
compile of qmail (not installed by me).

The main difference here being that on the 'working system', the
mail-sendmail wrapper is used instead of sendmail. So I went and tested the
same script on the qmail jail, which has the same 'problem' as sendmail does
from the other jail. So something seems to have been changed on this setup
to allow this behaviour (I assume having 'From', rewrite both return address
and the envelope-from). I can't for the life of me figure out what.

Oh, and unrelated but also annoying is the submit from the different jails
to the qmail jail is a bit slow. 

Any pointers anyone ?

Thanks, 
Ruben

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

2005-12-30 Thread Greg Lehey

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

2005-12-30 Thread Greg Lehey


How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.

Contents:

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to

If your server supports it, of course rsync seems much better than 
FTP for this task.


Have you seen this article on automating command line ftp?

forwarded (but these stats don't correspond to what I'm seeing on the  
C3750).


If I issue systat -ip 3 then I see 90-100.000 pkt/sec which is correct.

If you're not sure, then this is the right list.

 


I have a Compaq Proliant ML 350 machine with 3 x fxp and 2 x em
network cards.

If I issue :

systat -ip 1 I see:

   866056packets forwarded0 - no checksum

the same for systat -ip 2.

For systat -ip 3 (and higher):

   83537 packets forwarded0 - no checksum   -   these
are the correct figures


I  really don't have the figures reported for refresh-interval = 1 or
2 and have just installed Freebsd 5.4 on it. (The same problem
manifests with Freebsd 6.0 on that box).

A friend of mine has a similar setup (but not a Compaq box) and
doesn't see strange values for -ip 1 and -ip 2.



Any clue on what's happening or what's causing this ?
   



I'm not quite sure what you're saying here.  Are you saying that if
you use a refresh interval of 1, it tells you you're getting over
800,000 packets forwarded per second, but with a longer refresh
interval, it gives you values of around 35,000 packets per second?
And that you know from some other method that the latter is correct?

Well, running it under a debugger would be the obvious way.  
truss(1) would be worth trying first.

Since perl is otherwise working, you might try contacting
the webmin port maintainer for advice.

That's a confusing error message, all right.  Or maybe I just need
more coffee...

Okay, it looks like RPMs for compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.110 and
libstdc++-2.96-110 are banging into each other.  The latter is
probably from linux_base and the former from linux_base-8.  At a
guess, removing the linux_base port didn't go well.  

Maybe removing the linux packages (use pkg_delete(1) rather than "make
deinstall", as it will not be confused if you update your ports
skeletons) and cleaning /usr/compat out thoroughly is the way to go.
That would take a lot of time, though; first try figuring out whether
any port actually owns the conflicting file, and if not, remove that
by hand.

Good luck.

qemu and bridging

2005-12-30 Thread Jan ZACH


Hi,

I'm configuring qemu. Everything works fine except networking between 
the bsd host and the qemu computer (I cannot ping from bsd to qemu and 
vice versa). Networking with other computers works fine. Am I missing 
anything in my configuration?


Thanks a lot
Jan

Re: How do I get gdbserver for FreeBSD 5.4?

The sources are actually in the second; the first is just build
infrastructure.  Note that they're not hooked up to the master build;
David O'Brien removed them from the makefiles in 2002, apparently as
part of bringing in the Gnu binutils 2.12.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile

Yes, but that doesn't include gdbserver either.

No.  It's the sources for gdbserver, but not ported to build on
FreeBSD.

gdbserver isn't currently ported for FreeBSD.  If you really need it
(as opposed to some other form of remote debugging), you could
probably best get started by asking obrien for hints.
