Best time of day/week to cvsup?
For example, what time of day, and the day of the week, is typically the best time to sync up with 6-STABLE or 7-CURRENT, to minimize dealing with untested new commits. Same goes for the ports system. Are there any cvs usage stats or web server usage stats for the FreeBSD project? I'd like to setup an automated package building system for 6.0-RELEASE and 6-STABE. -- Please sign the native Flash player for FreeBSD petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/petition.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bi-Opteron memory problem
Hi all I've some strange problem with my single-core bi-proc (Opetron 248) When I try to install FreeBSD 6.0 -i 386 I can't have all memory.

If I put some options MAXMEM=... the kernel don't boot (more simple :-(( ) But if I install FreeBSD 6.0-amd 64 I've another strange problem (not very important but...)

3com mini-pci modem
Hi all, For the next couple of weeks I will be with my DELL c810 laptop at a place where I can only have 56k connection to the internet. :( My laptop has a 3com mini-pci modem (combo with a 3com 10/100 Ethernet Adapter). Well in the past I tried to make this device working, but since I got broadband, I had no problems running FreeBSD and connecting through the NIC so I had forgotten about it. I have asked people with knowledge and told me you cannot connect with internal modems (or at least it is hard) so it is better if you get an external one. Is this right?? In order to send you output like dmesg or pciconf -lv or anything else I will have to write them down or use a floppy or something else to transfer to windows which I am using now...You see, if I cannot make the modem to work I cannot connect to the internet using FreeBSD. But I will do if is needed. Any help??

panic on 5.4 SMP kernel when jailed apache is used heavily
Hi all, I upgraded a 5.3 system to 5.4 both with SMP kernels, I'm running 6 jails on a dual xeon 1.26 hp rackmount. When apache (both 1.3 and 2.0) is being used heavily the system panics. With a 5.4 GENERIC kernel or a 5.3 SMP kernel this behaviour does not happen and the system is stable. Does anyone have an idea ? Or should I post this to bugs ?

slowness on 6.0 with apache2.2 (from src)
I installed 6.0 and cvsup'd to the security fixes and rebuilt world. All went well. Then i installed apache2.2 from src (not ports) with a basic: ./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl It installed and runs. However, here is my issue: My main web page has 1 image per se. However, it is comprised of 32 little images... What I am seeing is that each image comes down 1 by 1 SLOWLY and apache2.2 spawns tons of child processes! Under OpenBSD/Solaris, I see a completely different thing...the image comes up instantly and apache only spawned 1 extra child. I used the SAME config files on all 3 OSs and the same hardware/drives/etc. This by the way is all over my internal LAN...so it never hits the internet. With all the variables being equal - but the OS. Since things work excellent on OpenBSD/Solaris, what is it that freebsd is not doing (or doing differently)?

For instance, after the update of malloc() by Jason Evans to his new, improved version, many programs started crashing in 7.0-CURRENT because of bugs in those programs. I usually try to keep up with the mail of freebsd-cvs-src and the posts of freebsd-current and update my systems manually to 7.0-CURRENT when I'm relatively sure that things are `stable enough' for my work. Having said that about CURRENT, I'm sure that 6.0-STABLE is quite safe most of the time, because changes don't just get rushed in to the RELENG_6 branch. Not having a steady stream of commits flowing in means that most of the time CVSUP'ing a 6-STABLE system will pull in changes to manpages, system documentation and the occasional security fix. So, it's much safer to pick any random time and update a RELENG_6 system. Same goes for the ports system. Are there any cvs usage stats or web server usage stats for the FreeBSD project?

RE: 3com mini-pci modem
Your internal PCI modem maybe a winmodem and native FreeBSD does not support this. Internal modems are manufactured for two target markets, MS/Windows and every thing else. Winmodems are cheep because the hardware controller function is handled by the software you have to install into windows. This hardware controller function is contained in a chip on the modem circuit board. Winmodems are missing this chip and have a replacement chip that directs the modem to use driver software running in the windows system to perform the controller function. The most common replacement chip is manufactured by Lucent. There are many versions of this Lucent chip each version needing a different software driver version. Up until version 4.4, FBSD did not have any solution to using Winmodems, but with the release of 4.4 the ports collection contains the Linux Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver which was ported to FBSD. This port is very poorly documented, only works with a limited number of Lucent chip version, and is unreliable. Your whole internet connection is managed by your modem and trying to shoe horn a modem specially manufactured for the MS/Windows operating system into FBSD is not the way to achieve a satisfactory dialup connection. To summarize. For the FBSD newbe who does not know how to install a port, should use an external serial modem for connecting their FBSD box to the internet. This method works using the default generic kernel, creates no irq conflicts with the motherboard bios, and will work right out of the box so to say. All serial modems use the PC's serial ports' controller built into the motherboard. This has been the standard since PCs first came out Trying to use a PCI internal winmodem and the Linux Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver port is not easy. The 'ltmdm' driver port installations instructions are so inadequate as to make it darn near imposable to get the ltmdm port working on your modem. Its up to you if you want to try the ltmdm port, but using am external modem is a sure thing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Spiros Papadopoulos Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 5:55 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 3com mini-pci modem Hi all, For the next couple of weeks I will be with my DELL c810 laptop at a place where I can only have 56k connection to the internet. :( My laptop has a 3com mini-pci modem (combo with a 3com 10/100 Ethernet Adapter).

user accounts messed up
Hi! I did something quite stupid... I installed postgresql from ports and created an unprivileged user account for it. I wanted to install the database in /var/pgsql and wanted to chown the folder to the unprivileged user. To do this, I entered the following as root: chown -R /var/pgsql/ As this command took more than two seconds I presumed chown had followed .. and so I hit Ctrl-C. After having done this I tried to switch to the unprivileged user account with su and it said something like setuid not running. After having tried to recover from this situation without success I decided to reboot the system. Now I can't login to any user account anymore, not even root. I am told the password is not correct. I tried to boot in single user mode, mount /usr and change the root password with passwd but I am denied permission to change master.passwd. Is it possible that the user database is corrupt?

The guidelines for using this list recommend searching it first for answers. As you probably know, a fairly standard guideline in internet mailing lists is for newcomers to lurk. I have seen the subject of this thread many, many times. It is reasonably assumed that responsible internet users know to read the guidelines first. The idea is to both reduce repetition of questions, and to help the newcomer/ lurker to determine if this question has already been answered to their satisfaction faster than by posting to the list. Except that both FreeBSD and Linux are constantly changing. Problems that are cited in one discussion are often taken care of or become moot issues because of other changes. If both the FreeBSD and Linux distributions were static and never changed then you would be correct, the answer is in the archives, dig it out. But that is not the case. Frankly, arguments like Is abortion right or wrong are based on issues that are far, far, far more static than either FreeBSD or Linux, yet those constantly come up over and over again in the public eye. If we as the FreeBSD community cannot answer that question, then why are we wasting our time with it? The question is too general. There are too many answers. It depends on context and depends on what one views as better. It is very _subjective_. I didn't say it was a good question, I said it was a legitimate question. Big difference. If you have ever worked a technical support desk you would know the difference between these types of questions. If you want to offer support to a questioner asking which is better, you need to explain why the question needs to be narrowed down and the only way to do this is to engage in a 2-way dialog with the questioner to find out what he needs. I think the problem with the which is better question in the group is that in the past, far too often, it's been trolls asking this question. They ask then when people try to engage them in a 2-way discussion they remain silent, or reply with irrelevant or completely stupid and idiotic responses. And unfortunately, a lot of axe-grinders on the list like to respond to trolls.

Because if the only language you know is English, you really don't deserve to weigh in with you opinion on the issue. Just as in abortion, since if your a man you could never possibly have one, you don't deserve to weigh in with an opinion, either. Because we have put down the effort of learning the de facto standard language on the internet, we no longer may have an opinion about the ones that haven't?

In short, since you know other languages than English, your opinion that we should use English and nothing else on the mailing list carries far, far more weight than that of the other english-only bozos that have posted to this thread. just as if science ever figues out how to allow a man to get pregnant and carry a baby to term, then men would then have authority to speak on the topic of abortion. and can make myself understood in a few more. Still, I would never dream of posting to a mailinglist in any other language then english, unless otherwise requested. There are plenty of mailinglists and supportforums available in almost every language you can imagine. There is no need to increase the noise on @questions with posts that perhaps 1 or 2 percent of the subscribers can understand. And if everyone that said that also stated that they knew other languages, I think the discussion would have some merit. Unfortunately most of the posts have been attempts to justify why we should only use English on the list. No one else in support of the English-only position has stated that they knew multiple languages and CHOSE English INSTEAD of their native tongue.

make.conf Question
All: I have been playing around with make.conf and I see that it is possible to to use the NO_OPENSSH variable to not build openssh when updating fbsd from source. I also noticed in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file that there is a sshd_program entry that can be used to adjust where the installation of sshd is. I am assuming that this means that I can install openssh from the ports exclusively and use the rc.conf file to launch the ports sshd on startup. Here are my questions about this: 1. Is my assumption correct? 2. Does this also apply to things like kerberos and openssl 3. Does this impose any notable side effects to the system (possibly with stability/security)?

NO_OPENSSL=yes implies NO_KERBEROS=yes and NO_OPENSSH=yes, since both things depend upon the existence of Openssl. However, I highly suggest that you keep OpenSSL since it's important for most software on various levels (ie how can you go online to certain websites and login if you don't have SSL support?!).

dell raid management
is this available in 5.4 ? I built afacli for managing the array and it runs, but doesn's see any devices. The requirement seems to be options AAC_COMPAT_LINUX I'm only getting unknown option AAC_COMPAT_LINUX when trying to configure the kernel. Was this only available in 4.x ? or has something changed and another option is available ? thank you all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cvsup6.us.freebsd.org / /sysutils/fastest_cvsup
Greetings,
Recently there was a thread regarding cvsup6.us.freebsd.org
accepting connections, and offering no content, which breaks
fastest_cvsup.
I've done a little hacking on fastest_cvsup version 0.2.9
to enable verification of the desired collections existence.
Please see attached patch

# Changes:
+ # 0.2.9.1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jan, 2006:
+ # added a -v command line argument to enable verification of the
+ # collections existence on the server. We create a dummy cvsup
+ # configuration with a refuse file which refuses everything,
+ # in order to check the server. If the server is accepting
+ # connections but doesn't carry our collection we'll get an error,
+ # and can discard the server. This has been the case with
+ # cvsup6.us.freebsd.org for a while now:
+ #
+ # Connecting to cvsup6.us.freebsd.org
+ # Connected to cvsup6.us.freebsd.org
+ # Server software version: SNAP_16_1h
+ # Negotiating file attribute support
+ # Exchanging collection information
+ # Server message: Collection ports-all release cvs is not
available here
+ # Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection
+ # Running
+ # Skipping collection ports-all/cvs
+ # Shutting down connection to server
+ # Finished successfully
+ #
# 0.2.9 - added 'us' country code for USA hosts and 'tld' for top-level
# domain machines (can be in any country)
# 0.2.8 - fixed the progress meter, timestamped %FREEBSD_SERVERS

Post-Install update steps?
After installing FreeBSD, I would like to follow some simple steps to get it fully up-to-date. The Handbook and other online instructions seem a bit overwhelming.

I've tried shutting down my system in every way I could think of, but it doesn't seem to matter... I've been googling for hours on this and didn't get alot wiser, does anyone have any experience or solution for this? You ask such a question without saying anything about what NIC you are using? i dont know if this is related, but i've had this experience: 1. freebsd notebook dies/crashes due to power failure (my bad) 2. a reboot of the notebook comes up fine with the exception of a totally missing bge0 device, Broadcom BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet. nothing i did could find the device including pciconf. 3. reboots with shutdown -r didnt still showed a missing device when the notebook rebooted. 4. shutting down the notebook using ACPI (acpiconf -s 5) and a subsequent reboot brought the device back to life as if nothing had happenned previously. i wonder if there's something in ACPI which caused this behaviour, and could be responsible for the symptoms you're seeing. admittedly, this is a shot in the dark as till today i've no clue why my bge0 device disappeared for a short period of time. agents mulder and scully are investigating. -- Regards, /\_/\ All dogs go to heaven.

install help? make: don't know how to make package-depends-list. Stop
I tried to install bluefish. I might have made a mess. I first downloaded the package from the freebsd ftp site. I did pkg_add. It complained about cairo and weblint. So I downloaded those. pkg_add installed but with errors. Then when I tried to run it, it had incompatible libraries errors. So I found /usr/ports/www/bluefish and did make install which told me to make deinstall then make reinstall. I did those. This was the final outcome: . . === Compressing manual pages for bluefish-1.0.1 === Registering installation for bluefish-1.0.1 make: don't know how to make package-depends-list. Stop Prajipati-FreeBSD# type bluefish type: Command not found.

Jose, Short answer is wait until the FreeBsd port is updated unless there is some compelling reason not to. I would also suggest that you don't update unless it is really necessary on the grounds of don't fix it if it is not broken. The main reason for this is that the port collection is specifically for FreeBSD. Some of the ports come with patches to make what is generically a Linux program run under FreeBSD. If you want to try and update it without waiting look at pkg_delete in the manual then follow this instructions for installing the updated tar ball.
