Re: FTP Automate Shell Script
why not try scp instead of ftp ? Hello. I am using FreeBSD 6.0 and Bash as my shell. I am following a tutorial to create a shell script to copy some files. It works perectly exept for 2 points. Here is the article - http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/printerfriendly.asp?p=170517 Here is the script - #!/bin/sh temp=/tmp/$(basename $0).$$ ; trap /bin/rm -f $temp 0 targetdir=remote-dir remote=laptop.intuitive.com echo taylor $temp echo cd $targetdir $temp for file in * do if [ -f $file ] ; then echo put $file $file $temp else echo skipping $file: not a file. 2 fi done echo quit $temp ftp $remote $temp exit 0 One problem is that the password must be entered manually, I have spent a good part of the day experimenting but can't seem to automate this. Can the password be entered using the script? The other problem is that it copies the actual file. What command would I look at to copy only images (.jpg) for example? Thanks in advance.

Re: FreeBSD 6.0: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop - mouse not working???

I applied the first set of patches mentioned in that bugreport, and recompiled the kernel, but it did not work (I assume those patches apply especially for the MS Wireless Optical Mouse, although I changed the necessary identification parts in those patches). The only difference I could observe was, that the mouse LED was flickering when moved (instead of beeing steady before applying the patch). In the meantime I found another idea, to try to use the wireless receiver with a USB-PS/2 mouse adapter, and that approach indeed worked! So using the PS/2 connectors for keyboard + mouse for that MS Wireless Optical Desktop seems to be the solution. Nevertheless there is no doubt, that there is a bug in /usr/src/sys/dev/ums.c, so I will send a message to the freebsd-usb mailinglist (or should I submit a bug-report by myself?).

Which linux_base port to use?
Hi, I'd like to try a linux binary application (Arkeia backup server) under FreeBSD R6, so naturally this means linux compatibility, but I'm a little confused - until today I presumed that only one 'linux_base' port existed. A brief inspection of the Makefile for linux_base shows it to be Redhat 7.3 level, but as 8 and 9 are available I don't know if I should choose one of these later releases or another flavor entirely. I'm able to obtain the software package for quite a few different linux distributions and releases, and I don't need X11, so I guess I can narrow it down a little that way as some linux_base* are more minimal than others, but I'd like to pick the one that is most regularly maintained and least likely to cause me issues down the track.

It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # After this file is processed, the server will look for and process # /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf and then /usr/local/etc/apache/access.conf # unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or # AccessConfig directives here. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with / (or drive:/ for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with /, the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so logs/foo.log # with ServerRoot set to /usr/local/apache will be interpreted by the # server as /usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log. # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # ServerType is either inetd, or standalone.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to taking into consideration the wider security issues of system
administration. I apologize for this long post but maybe the answer can
save me and others from future pain.
What I'm not sure I understand is why would we not want to grant write
access to the cvs group? According to the instructions I've read that
is CVS's basic requirement, i.e. having write access to the repository.
When I set up a repository without this write access the import failed
for me as well.
One assumption I am making is that it is better to have one group with
write permission than explicit write permission given to many different
users.
So here is how I set up my repository, starting as root
#cd /usr/local
#mkdir cvsrep
#chgrp cvs cvsrep
#chmod g+w cvsrep
#cvs -d /usr/local/cvsrep init
#ll
drwxrwxr_x 2 root cvs 512Jan 30 10:25 cvsrep
#ll cvsrep
drwxrwxr-x 3 root cvs 1024 Jan 30 10:26 CVSROOT
duane$ cvs -d /usr/local/cvsrep import -m blah blah blah testproj
duane start
duane$ ll /usr/local/cvsrep
drwxrwxr-x 3 root cvs 1024 Jan 30 10:26 CVSROOT

...
...
.
.
.
-r--r--r-- 1 duane cvs 482 Jan 30 10:55 proj.c,v
Now I don't want to make any assumptions about whether this
infrastructure is safe or not. That's why I'm asking the question.
Everything seems to work but am I leaving myself open to any known
security problems?
Sorry for the length of this long post. If I should have posted this
differently please let me know.

What functionality is provided by minimal install
Good afternoon... I did a minimal install from a 4.7 mini disc (yes 4.7, but this question could be quite generic) and I was wondering what I got. I know from the sysintall help that a Minimal install is just the base system. But what _functionality_ is provided by a *base system*??? I did an ls -lR from the root of my machine after the installation to see what files I got. I also added the man pages distribution, did another ls -lR, then added the ports collection and did a third ls -lR (this one was over 4 MBs, time to see if gzip is included with Minimal!!!). So I can lookup what files I got each time; and I figure I can /man/ every file /bin, /sbin, /whatever/bin but I was hoping that might already be documented somewhere. So far Googling and searching gmane.org have not shown-up anything like what I'm looking for (The Handbook's section 2.6 does not provide any detail either). Can anyone point me to a source? Or let me know what I should do with that info if I end-up compiling it myself? Thanks. -- Headed for the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning...

Re: serial console for dummies?

For other systems with different buggy firmware you should leave the video keyboard connected, at least if you need to get into the firmware's setup mode.

WLAN not detected on Acer TM 292ECLi
Hi, anyone having WLAN working on an Acer Travelmate 290E? It doesn't seem to be detected at all on my laptop, which is a model 292ECli. As a Centrino laptop, it should have a Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG built in. I installed iwi-firmware from ports, built a custom kernel (world and kernel from -STABLE today) and checked that I have options pci and options wlan in it, just as man iwi says. I tried to load iwi as module with kldload, at boot time by setting if_iwi_load=YES to loader.conf, and also tried to build it statically into the kernel. At no time, I get iwi mentioned in dmesg. kldstat says it is loaded when I load it dynamically. Also, the firmware is not found in /usr/local/libdata as mentioned on the iwi-firmware webpage at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html I'm not by my laptop right now so I can't check, but somewhere I read that it is installed in /boot/firmware instead? But the mystery is, why doesn't the adapter get detected at all? Something I've missed? Anyone have ideas? Otherwise FBSD 6.0 is a great release - the first one I have successfully installed on the laptop. I've seen others having problems with Acer 2XX laptops also, so I recommend installing 6.0, and enabling ACPI when booting. Without, at least my panics, but acpi_load=YES in loader.conf to the resque! --Ville ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: A strategic question
Jozef Baum wrote: ... to install FreeBSD, one needs already a lot of knowledge about the system. To acquire that knowledge, one needs experience on an installed system. But to have an installed system, one needs already a lot of knowledge about the system. That's the problem. The handbook doesn't tell you that, at the last chance message, you have to take out the boot CD and to insert CD 1. But if you don't do so, nothing gets installed. 1st: I don't think I have ever installed an unknown system and got it right the first time: OS/2, RedHat Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I have always installed the system, used it about a month and then reinstalled. So you install the system the best you can, then start learning your way around it and figure out what went wrong. First time, don't worry about things getting messed up, just don't throw it directly into production. You might find yourself reinstalling a few times, but that's just part of the game. 2nd: It's true that the FreeBSD developers have not gone out of their way to make a sleek installer, but unlike other OS's, the installer is something you'll hardly ever use. I installed my laptop with 5.2.1 two years ago, since then I have continuously upgraded everything and run 6.0 now, but I haven't used the installer at all. So, there is a catch, those who use the installer has yet to get the experience to make it better and those who know how just don't have that itch scratching. 3rd: If there is an error or something missing then you can file a problem report for the documentation and explain what you find missing. I configured a German ISO keyboard, but many keys don't work correctly. One has to look with Google to find additional information about configuring a German keyboard. Getting keyboards right is a science and one of the most frequently asked questions. The thing is that you have to deal with both keyboard and character sets, and further some programs let the user change the keyboard for that program only: emacs, pine, thunderbird. While not particularly for german keyboard, there is an article about setting things up and you should be able to figure out the needed changes - heck the examples are for german! http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/euro/index.html The locate command did not work, as the locate database seemed to be corrupted. I had to figure out how to rebuild this database. An all system you need to build/rebuild the locate database regularly. The root user had a csh, while ordinary users had a sh shell. I had to figure out how to provide the same shell to the root user and the other users, as all those virtual users are all one and the same person, me. There is one principle you should adhere to on any system: Let root keep default settings. This is challenging at first, but in critical situations an advantage. I tried to setup an X Window environment (nVidia Geforce video adapter), but the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of the manufacturer didn't work, I had to experiment to find out the one X likes. Then I could startup X, only to not having configured at all my German keyboard. see the above article, it also have the part covering X11. I tried to install emacs during installation, but it didn't succeed. Returning to the post-installation tasks after having installed the system resulted in a successfull installation of emacs (working only after a system reboot). Well, this is where sometimes you install, gain some experience and reinstall. Anyway, there is no reason you have to get everything installed at install time. I have learned to prefer a lean system at install and then add stuff as needed. Otherwise I allways end up with lots of crap that I don't need. Why is it that FreeBSD people, who seem to be perfectly able to formulate correct algorithms for implementing UNIX concepts, and translating them into code, don't care at all about a novice user, providing him with an installation program that doesn't work as it should, even without a GUI? As another stated this: It seems you want the system to think your way - which more or less requires the developers to think your way. This is obviously unrealistic and unreasonable to require - but your luck is that unlike other operating systems, you can make FreeBSD behave as you like it. I know UNIX is all about solving problems, but is it really interesting to make it apparently deliberatly so difficult for a newcomer? Is it really the policy of those guys to make the entry level to UNIX difficult, only to avoid a breakthrough of UNIX (FreeBSD) to the desktop users? I don't think anyone makes things difficult on purpose. but as above statement, their brain might just not work like yours. Not better, nor worse, just different. And there is no avoding breakthrough to desktop - I have used FreeBSD on my desktop, laptop actually, for three years. Before that I used RedHat for 4

DNS nslint error messages

A strategic question (continued)
Many thanks to everyone who answered my previous e-mail about this subject on this list or by private e-mail. As some of you suggested, I have installed PC-BSD (http://www.pcbsd.com/). I am sure a Unix guru would not like to install FreeBSD in this way, as it doesn't offer many choices. But it is just wonderful for a Unix newbie like me. At the end of the installation, the GUI, the cable Internet connection, and even the sound system worked fine. Some configuration still needs to be done (printing and German keyboard). But now at least I have a system I can use right away to do some usefull work with, and to further explore. I will try to configure the printing myself before perhaps eventually asking some specific questions about it here. I found an interesting explanation about the configuration of the German keyboard, so if some other German speaking newbie asks about it: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eserte/FreeBSD/doc/umlaute/umlaute.html Giorgos Keramidas asked me: Can you explain *how* you configured your X11 desktop? Like explained in the handbook. First I created an xorg.conf.new configuration skeleton file with # Xorg -configure Then I tested this configuration with # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new The result was a Mode not supported message on the display screen until I found out the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to write in the Section Monitor which were supported, and which were much narrower than the hardware manufacturers specifications. The display adapter is an nVidia GeForce4 MX with integrated GPU (which uses 64 MB of the system's 512 MB physical working memory).

No. The correct way to fix this is to set CVSUMASK in your shell environment, and then import the files :) Giorgos, Thanks very much for replying! I wasn't aware of this environment variable (even though I spent quite a while on this problem). Using CVSUMASK certainly works when working on the server machine! However, I'm not sure what to do in client/server situations. The CVS manual states: Note that using the client/server CVS (see section Remote repositories), there is no good way to set CVSUMASK; the setting on the client machine has no effect.

As some of you suggested, I have installed PC-BSD (http:// www.pcbsd.com/). I am sure a Unix guru would not like to install FreeBSD in this way, as it doesn't offer many choices. But it is just wonderful for a Unix newbie like me. At the end of the installation, the GUI, the cable Internet connection, and even the sound system worked fine. Some configuration still needs to be done (printing and German keyboard). But now at least I have a system I can use right away to do some usefull work with, and to further explore. I will try to configure the printing myself before perhaps eventually asking some specific questions about it here. I found an interesting explanation about the configuration of the German keyboard, so if some other German speaking newbie asks about it: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eserte/FreeBSD/doc/umlaute/umlaute.html Giorgos Keramidas asked me: Can you explain *how* you configured your X11 desktop? Like explained in the handbook. First I created an xorg.conf.new configuration skeleton file with # Xorg -configure Then I tested this configuration with # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new The result was a Mode not supported message on the display screen until I found out the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to write in the Section Monitor which were supported, and which were much narrower than the hardware manufacturers specifications. The display adapter is an nVidia GeForce4 MX with integrated GPU (which uses 64 MB of the system's 512 MB physical working memory). The LCD monitor is a Proview 780. You may have actually been limited by your video card in this respect. Given that it is a GeForce4, the options for resolution and scanlines and stuff may have been lower. I know that when I went from a GF4 to a GF6 my system's available resolution increased quite a bit. Too bad though that my monitor doesn't though... :(. Take care and hopefully this time around things will be better for you. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It provides access to your display that you specify (if you are the owner of the display), and emulates it via VNC. It will take up less memory than straight VNC since it uses the existing X server (if it is running), and attaches to it and allows VNC connections to that specific instance of the X server. -Garrett Hello, I just want to add that I have been told that it is possible to use VNC to connect to an active display. RealVNC will allow you to open a connection on an already open display. All that is needed is to add a vnc module to X and some other very simple modifications to the xorg.conf. The directions to do this are located at: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html. RealVNC is located in 'net/vnc'. There is also 'net/vino' for Gnome.

SCSI on v6.0
Hello; I have installed FreeBSD v6.0 and all is fine so far. I had the intention to install two SCSI drives in this system after initial install to get it together step by step. I have several Books on FreeBSD including the hard copy manuals that are obtained from FreeBSD Mall, I.E. user and admin manuals. Reading up on the use of SCSI on FreeBSD i am instructed by one of the books, I don't remember which right now that I have to add a kernel option and rebuild the kernel with SCSI support. But tonight I went ahead and installed the adapter card, and the two drives and booted to see if the hardware setup had any complaints. All seems to be well with it but I can't even hear the SCSI drives. I would expect 15k drives to make some whining noise, maybe not. I am using LSI Logic adapter card (haven't checked for specific FreeBSD support). On boot there was a line to the effect 'waiting for SCSI device to settle'. This leads me to believe that there may already be SCSI support in v6.0. Q: Is this in fact true (v6.0 has SCSI support by default)? None of the books are really current enough for v6.0 specific info as such. On the same subject, Q: What is the best way to proceed with formating and partitioning the drives? Redo installation process, or is there away to set them up without reinstallation? I will want to assign one of the SCSI drives to the /usr file system and the other to the /var file system when the one ATA drive that is being used has it all now. Anyhow, I'm being lazy with this query and I do intend to RTFM.

CPU Frequency on FreeBSD 5.4 and MSVS 2005 R2
Hi, I've been able to run couple of successful tests installing FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 , however, I've noticed for some reason FreeBSD is not detecting the actual CPU speed: --- FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Mon Jan 30 22:32:31 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/INTERNDC Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Intel Pentium III Xeon (593.19-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = GenuineIntel Id = 0x6a4 Stepping = 4 Features=0x380a97bFPU,VME,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,CX8,SEP,PGE,CMOV,MMX,FXSR,SSE real memory = 824115200 (785 MB) avail memory = 796700672 (759 MB) npx0: math processor on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface acpi0: A M I OEMRSDT on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 The frequency should be 900MHz. The BIOS does not state CPU frequency, nor the boot sequence. In fact, if I reboot the FreeBSD virtual machine, the frequency would be different (sometimes 460MHz , others 550MHz...etc). I think this is causing a considerable degradation in the FreeBSD speed. Any suggestions in this regard ? MSFT doesn't officially support FreeBSD, but I'm aware they support Linux on their virtual server.

I'm stubborn or stupid (and that's not xor) (Was: CVS Import Permissions)

Currently, when I import a project, I get this sort of permissions on the project directory: drwxr-x--- 2 jim cvs 512 Jan 27 12:31 test_proj Notice that the group (cvs) is not granted write access. Is this the way it's supposed to work? That depends on what your `umask' currently is. Do I have to use chmod to grant write access to the group every time I do an import? No. The correct way to fix this is to set CVSUMASK in your shell environment, and then import the files :) Giorgos, Thanks very much for replying! I wasn't aware of this environment variable (even though I spent quite a while on this problem). Using CVSUMASK certainly works when working on the server machine! However, I'm not sure what to do in client/server situations. The CVS manual states: Note that using the client/server CVS (see section Remote repositories), there is no good way to set CVSUMASK; the setting on the client machine has no effect. We are currently using a pserver installation, with developers using windows machines. We need a way to achieve the same effect with a user on a windows machine doing an import. Do you have any idea how this can be done? Thank you! Regards, DB Hi everyone, On the CVS server machine should our CVS repository directory belong to the cvs group, i.e. user==root, group==cvs? And as for the umask, as it appears to be 027, if we give the cvs group write permission on /usr/local/cvsrep then when we import our projects they will be writeable by members of group cvs and the owner of the project, in this case jim. CVS gives all the source files under test_proj permissions -r--r--r-- regardless of the umask. So since this is an existing repository maybe there is extra work. What is the biggest factor, the number of distinct projects in the repository? But as a start why not do a chgrp cvs cvsrep; chmod g+w cvsrep. In a new repository this would make sure all permissions started off correctly. Unfortunately real life is never that simple. Is this not how CVS would like it? I apologize if I am being all the things suggested in my subject heading. I've posted these opinions a couple of times without response. Perhaps they are inappropriate to the list or irrelevant to David's situation, or maybe just wrong? I'll let it drop after this. I certainly don't mean to muddy the waters but to me this is what this list is all about and I believe this issue goes to the heart of UN*X administration.

Hi all: What is the command set ccp yes mpp-compress for?

Without that command, the client could use settings like Maximum strength encryption.
