fbdesk or idesk for fluxbox icons?

2006-02-10 Thread Xn Nooby
I'm trying to figure out fbdesk, but there is amazingly little to go on.
Does anyone have any sample config files?

Or should I be using idesk?

I have fluxbox 0.9.14 on FreeBSD 6.0.

I also sometimes can't get rid of the fluxbox menu, which is highly
annoying.

thanks!

Thanks for the hint but I don't belong to the 3 groups of persons
mentioned in chapter '21.2.1.2 Who Needs FreeBSD-CURRENT' :-)
I can't put CURRENT on my notebook and lock me out of the world
if is does not boot anymore. I only wanted to test a small piece
of the ports collection.

So what. I've fetched the source tree of xmule-1.10.1.rar which
compiles fine on 6.0-REL with just './configure ; gmake install'

Alex,

Welcome

Every thing you should need to know is in the handbook. You will need to
read the section on installing Xwindows, then chose a Desktop
environment (Gnome or KDE).

There are some minor issues with nvida video 3d cards but there are
nvida drivers for BSD. ATI cards are a bit more of a problem. In both
cases search the mailing list archives the info is there.

I can't mount my USB thumb drive or ipod -- no /dev/da*

2006-02-10 Thread Erin Sharmahd
I'm a bit of a newbie, but I've done a good bit of research, and some
asking around on this issue, and haven't been able to resolve it yet. 
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE with the GENERIC kernel.  (from what i
can tell, it has all of the necessary pieces to allow usb drives).

When I plug my ipod into my computer, dmesg gets the following addition:
umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2

However, that's all that appears there relative to it.  From google, I
found that plugging in an ipod or a usb thumb drive should add a
/dev/da0 (or similar) entry to /dev, which you should mount.  I still
don't have a /dev/da*, and I actually checked, and nothing is getting
added to /dev when I plug the ipod in.

I thought that perhaps this was a problem related to support for the
ipod, but I have the exact same problem whenever I try to mount a usb
thumb drive.  Nothing new appears in /dev, and dmesg simply gives one
line explaining that umass0 sees the item.  A TA's thumb drive had the
same problem.

The ipod is FAT32, and has been used in linux many times.  The thumb
drive is currently ext3, but I'd like to reformat it to FAT32 once I
can get FreeBSD to recognize it.

Here's the info I can find about the ipod:
from dmesg:
umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
from usbdevs -d:
addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel
  uhub4
 addr 2: iPod mini, Apple
   umass0

And the info from my usb thumb drive:
from dmesg:
umass0: PNY Attache 2.0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2
from usbdevs -d:
addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel
  uhub4
 addr 2: Attache 2.0, PNY
   umass0

Lines that I think are important from the kernel config:
# USB support
deviceuhci# UHCI PCI->USB interface
deviceohci# OHCI PCI->USB interface
deviceehci# EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
deviceusb   # USB Bus (required)
#device   udbp# USB Double Bulk Pipe devices
deviceugen# Generic
deviceuhid# "Human Interface Devices"
deviceumass   # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da

# SCSI peripherals
devicescbus   # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
devicech# SCSI media changers
deviceda# Direct Access (disks)

If there's any further information that would help, please let me
know.  These are the things I've found mentioned on google...

Thanks,
~Erin

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer - fixed (sort of)

2006-02-10 Thread John .
Hello list

A month or so ago I noticed that my server was freezing up. It would
slowly recover, but there were 10 or so entries like this:

kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blk
no: 140947, size: 32768
Feb 10 13:26:56 shell kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blk
no: 101732, size: 4096
Feb 10 13:32:57 shell kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blk
no: 86705, size: 32768
Feb 10 14:00:19 shell kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blk
no: 94369, size: 16384

Eventually, /var would fill up as well as swap and the system would
lock solid. I thought maybe there was a bad sector on swap, so played
around a bit with deleting and re-creating swap files, even made an
aux swap file and deleted the two real ones, to no avail. I upgraded
from freebsd-4.11 to 5.4 and then up to 6.1-prerelease and the problem
was still there. gstat(8) was still showing queued requests in the
leftmost column. The disk is an ibm deskstar. So I downloaded the
utilities software and ran strenuous testing against the disk, which
reported no errors.

Everywhere I looked on the lists, it pointed to bad cable or hardware.
The disk showed in dmesg like this:

Feb  9 21:22:41 shell kernel: ad0: 39266MB  at ata0-m
aster UDMA100

I thought I'd try running it in safe mode. dmesg now shows the disk like this:

ad0: 39266MB  at ata0-master PIO4

and no errors!

Is this a bug with the ata driver or a problem with the device?

In my experience, once your login shell has read its environment
there is no harm in taking /home out, fiddling with it, and putting
it back.  Even logging in to a machine with home unmounted
has the reasonalby minimal effect of putting you in / and giving
you the bog standard environment (/etc/dot.cshrc or /etc/dot.profile).

Strange problem with user account

2006-02-10 Thread Ian A. Tegebo
Somehow I've foobarred a user account.  It's on a system that first had
the account in /etc/passwd, but then I moved the system over to using
LDAP for user imformation.  Other accounts are fine, but this one will
not allow auth and gives the following error when trying to "su ian" as
root:

# su USER
su: setusercontext: Invalid argument

And doing the following shows

# ktrace su ian
# kdump -f ktrace.out
...
   "<35>Feb 10 20:29:20 su: initgroups(ian,100): Invalid
   argument"
   ...
is near the end of the output.  Both "ian" and the GID "100" show up
just fine when I do:

# id ian
uid=1032(ian) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)

I suspect that something funny has happened to the account before the
migration; something like having been removed from /etc/passwd but
nowhere else.

The problem is that I can't figure out where to look now.

scripting sysinstall for pxeboot

2006-02-10 Thread Christopher Cowart
Hello-

I'm working on a project to netboot servers and perform a custom
installation of FreeBSD. I have pxeboot working with tftp, providing an
mfs image over the network.

sysinstall runs as init and attempts to follow my install.cfg. However,
when running my mediaSetFTP command, sysinstall errors with:
"The fxp0 device is not configured. You will need to do so in the
Networking configuration menu before proceeding."

However, I did set tryDHCP=YES. DHCP is working because 1) it just
netbooted from it; and 2) I tried with the installation CD. It doesn't
appear to be honoring my request that it try DHCP.

If I take sysinstall over manually, specifying the network information,
it works just fine.

I want the installation to work with DHCP. Does anyone have any
suggestions for debugging sysinstall in this way?

On a not-a-show-stopper note, is there any way to get around specifying 
the hostname and/or net device? I'd rather not specify the hostname so 
that I can have one generic script for many machines. Further, what if 
a some other machine has a different kind of NIC? By hardcoding these 
values into install.cfg, the solution becomes much less maintainable. 
Why can't it obtain the hostname from DHCP? Any thoughts on this? 

Thanks for your help,
Chris

Command line tools are much easier.

dd if=dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s2 bs=1024k count=1
glabel label -v l0 /dev/ad0s2
bsdlabel -w /dev/label/l0
bsdlabel -e /dev/label/l0
newfs -U -O2 -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/label/l0[ad-g]
mount . . .
echo 'geom_label_load="yes"' >> /boot/loader.conf

glabel is pretty spiffy, you can then dispense with the
worry about having to change your /etc/fstab every time you
move a hard drive, if you move hard drives from controller
to controller, tossing notions of "fixed" disks to the wind.

Note well: I have no idea how well geom_label and boot devices
work together.

Note also: sysinstall is silly for standard tasks like disk slicing
and partitioning, and as well, it's not very geom-aware.

I would think that the appearance of the above menu, and the fact that
it functions correctly when you choose FreeBSD indicates that the MBR is 
intact.  I

would presume, then, that the Windows partition has been damaged.

If the file system the Windows partition is healty in general with just 
a few files
in the boot sequence being damaged or missing you should be able to 
re-install
Windows in that partition and find all your data and applications 
present and in
good shape.  If however the filesystem in the Windows partition is 
messed up you

may have lost everything.

If you do re-install windows it will probably replace the MBR that is 
there with

what Windows consideres to be a 'standard' MBR.  I think you can use dd to
copy the MBR that is currently there.

Then to get back to FreeBSD you'll have to use fdisk to set the active 
partition

to FreeBSD.  Then you can, hopefully, restore the MBR you saved.

SATA RAID0 and Plextor SATA DVD0-RW DRIVE system hang

2006-02-10 Thread RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN
HI I am having great difficulty with my SATA DVD-RW drive.  It is a Plextor  
PX-716A ver 1.08 and is serial ATA seems to work/detect as acd1 fine before.  
However I cannot remember if i could mount it but did not try very hard and do 
not exactly know what i am doing with dvd-rw and FreeBSD yet.

I compiled atapicam into the Kernel as per the handbook 17.5 the below related 
options were already there as i am running a Generic Kernel other than atapicam

device scbus
device da
device pass
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device umass


When i try to boot with the drive plugged in the system hangs while detecting 
the drives. Must be reset with the drive unplugged to get fbsd back.  Note i 
tried playing with the bios settings changing from enhanced sata to legacy and 
some combos of that.  Also tried the  the plug and play os off and then on 
nothing seemed to make the system boot with drive attached.  

I use a INTEL  D925CV2 with built in raid see below about drive configuration ( 
this is without Plextor drive pluged in ) and a unmame output.

reverse name or maybe from table like oidentd?


If you're using 1-to-1 NAT forwarding, run identd or the inetd-based version on
the internal hosts you're forwarding to.  If you're using NAT to only forward
individual ports to specific machines, or are using NAT for outbound connection
sharing only, well, you can only forward ident requests to a single machine; I
don't know of a better solution.

Interesting problem...

i use to forward about 200 machines through one IP (+ipfw2 to manage 
bandwidth). all works fine except no authentication of user is possible.


for NetBSD i wrote a simple program (identd replacement) that parsed
ipnat -l output and made and answer.

but under FreeBSD there is no thing similar to /sbin/ipnat -l with natd.

or maybe is? something that will output natd map table.

If you do this, you need to make sure you're generating compatible
binaries.  In this case, you seem to be generating binaries that are
targetted for an older release than FreeBSD 6.0.  In order to run 5.x
binaries on FreeBSD 6.0, you need to install the compat5x port and
build with the corresponding kernel option.

I'm guessing you are running an old 5.x binary from before the
removal.  A 6.0 binary of bacula indeed will not try to link to this
nonexistent library.

Sorry; just fired off a message to the list before I got this one...

Anyway, I think I've got it now. I believe I was correct in thinking
that portupgrade usually takes care of dependencies; the portion that I
was missing was that pkgdb catches what discrepancies do appear between
what is installed and what is required. 

One of the ports that was giving me troubles was gamin; which I've just
noticed seems to be similar to your situation with openldap-sasl
(gamin/fam). Another was cdrtools (cdrtools/cjk-cdrtools). I've
corrected both manually using "pkgdb -F", which I think solves my
problem (for now, at least :-) ).  

Thank you for your help!

A stale dependency can be a required program that's old, or it can be 
that there are two versions of the required program listed as installed 
in pkgdb, or it can be the required program was removed by another 
program and something else installed in its place and the dependcies 
not upgraded in pkgdb.

'pkgdb -F' will fix the problems it can safely fix. What it won't fix is 
a dependcency on a program that's been removed. You need to look at 
that message and figure out what's going on and correct the problem. 
Skipping or deleting the dependency is not taking care of the problem, 
it's just getting out of 'pkgdb -F'.

Portupgrade - depending on how you used it - takes care of dependcies. A 
stale dependency is not an error in pkgdb. Something is wrong and you 
have to fix it. By the way, portaudit is a fine tool, but sometimes it 
gets in the way of what you want to do. It can prevent you from 
installing or upgrading some program that you want to. I can't say you 
would be better off without it, but I very seldom use it.

/usr/lib/libxpg4.so.3 missing - Did I miss a memo?

2006-02-10 Thread Trix Farrar
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

On my network, I have several hosts that were originally installed with
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE, 5.3-RELEASE, and 5.4-RELEASE.  All of these have
been updated now to 6.0-RELEASE-p4.  One host was originally installed
from 6.0-RELEASE media and subsequently updated to p4.  All works well.

I took a cue from The FreeBSD Handbook; 21.5 Tracking for Multiple
Machines, and have a central build host for the network.  On this
machine, I do my make buildworld, make buildkernel and building of
packages to ports.  That way I can just install port packages on the
non-build machine.

Everything worked great until I built bacula-server-1.38.5_1.  Package
built fine.  Installs and runs fine on all machines except the host that
was originally installed from 6.0-RELEASE media.  On that machine, the
bacula daemons will not execute.  They error with: (for example)

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libxpg4.so.3" not found, required
by "bacula-dir"

This library does not exist on the from-6.0-install machine.

I started by looking through /usr/src/UPDATING and can find no mention
of this library on either the default branch or RELENG_5 branch.  Next I
started browsing through CVS and logs for /usr/src.  Here's what I've found:

This library has been obsolete and pretty much empty for a long time
because its functionality was moved into libc.  Yes, the library itself
still existed up until the RELENG_5 tag.

About 14 months ago, the files were removed on the mainline by tjr (Tim
J. Robbins) on 2004-Nov-13.

I've managed to get past this by adding a line to libmap.conf(5):

libxpg4.so.3   libc.so.6

My questions (yes, finally) are:

* Is this change documented somewhere that Google can't find or that I'm
not looking?

* Is my handling of this situation correct as a band-aid fix?

* How can I know whether or not it is save to delete libxpg4.a,
libxpg4.so, libxpg4.so.3, and libxpg4_p.a from /usr/lib on the machines
where they are present?

* Why would bacula (or anything else, for that matter) even try to link
to this library in the first place?  (Ok, I'll admit that I'm being lazy
on this one because I haven't really researched it yet)

And one of these disks worked on a different system?

Interesting that the installer reported a write failure (which must
have been the hard disk), but the console reported a read failure on
the CD.  Try a minimal install, and maybe you will avoid whatever is
causing the specific issue.  [And if not, you may well have a clearer
set of symptoms.]

File flags are enforced at a securelevel of 1.  If they are all you
care about, then there's no reason to add the filesystem mounting,
clock, and firewall restrictions of levels 2 and 3.

There is not widespread agreement on the definition of "proper" in
that sentence.  Once you have a precise idea of what you think it
should be, writing a script for your particular needs will be
trivial.  

Be well.

I guess what is unclear to me is how I go about fixing the stale
dependencies. I was under the impression that portupgrade would take
care of the dependencies for a particular port, and the "stale
dependency" was just an error in the package database (pkgdb). Is this
not the case?

Thank-you,

Sounds like you did not import the correct schema files into 
OpenLDAP's slapd.conf configuration file. You should have:


core.schema
cosine.schema
inetorgperson.schema
nis.schema
samba.schema

Without these schema files loaded in slapd.conf, the system does not 
know how to define the data/types stored in the LDAP tree for Samba 
accounts, which includes those objects created/manipulated using LAM. 
The samba.schema file is included in the source distribution of Samba.


Temporarily in test time, I load all available schemas in system - 
include samba.schema.

I think, that I forget some litlle thing over installation.
Do I have to config additionally php.ini or http.conf after LAM 
installation? (or other config file).

Right :)  It also allows restoring in a different partition layout.


Any chance of there being a way like this to restore to windows

Not really.  I'm far from being a Windows expert though, so YMMV.


As an image?  Look up partimage and partimaged.  We've had some luck
restoring from both a Linux system running the Partimaged daemon and
booting from a Linux disk and restoring images off a samba/Windows

I intend to use g4u.  I have done some preliminary testing and I am

confident that I can upload and download an image.  I am now wondering
about the situation where I need to recreate the partition that is to

the

image.  That's what I'm worried about.  Any suggestions?


Never used g4u...I know that with partimage, if I imaged, say, a 4 gig 
drive, then pulled it down to a 6 gig drive and booted Windows, Windows 
(2000) would see 4 gig.  I had to use a partition editor (there was a 
graphical one on one of the Linux rescue CDs) that I used to enlarge 
the partition, and Win2k didn't seem to care at all.  Qtparted, maybe?

Chris,

You do seem to be missing the point. The info you are asking for is on
the Freebsd site. See http://www.freebsd.org/where.html

FreeBsd does not have a DVD version for download. It is only available
as iso's on the site and you can down load these by torrent if you want
to.

If you want to do something else then read the documentation and work it
out - that is primarily how the system works. 

You can get FreeBsd on DVD is you want to buy it - see the
http://www.freebsd.org/where.html for info on the FreeBsd mall at cost
or you can find suppliers at cost through say ebay.

One other thought if you don't want to spend time swapping the CDs try
an FTP install.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

2006-02-10 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

2006-02-10 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.

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.

USB0 host controller crash

2006-02-10 Thread Joe Altman
Last night, I fired up Grip and shortly after it was invoked, my mouse
(ums0: Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3,
iclass 3/1 ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir) went dark. It's transparent,
so it was obvious when it died. Right about that time, the USB
keyboard followed (ukbd0: vendor 0x1241 USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/2.80,
addr 2, iclass 3/1 kbd0 at ukbd0 uhid0: vendor 0x1241 USB Keyboard,
rev 1.10/2.80, addr 2, iclass 3/1.)

Here, the errors from dmesg:

usb0: host controller process error
usb0: host controller halted

I moved the mouse to a different USB port, and it was detected and
useable; as expected, the USB keyboard did not come back when I moved
it to a different USB port.

I don't have any further information; but do more experienced eyes see
some indication that there might be something seriously amiss here,
requiring further investigation?

You need to fix, not delete, the stale dependencies.  This may
take some effort the first time around.
Beyond that, I question the wisdom of any "automatic"

stale dependencies in pkgdb

Hello,

I am trying to use a combination of portaudit and portupgrade to
automatically maintain installed packages on my system, but portupgrade
often hangs on stale dependencies. I've run "pkgdb -F" as portupgrade
suggests, deleting stale dependencies, but they seem to keep

consists of and how to fix it. Pointers to relevant documentation and/or
explanations would be greatly appreciated!

I think these silly "poems"  are pleasingly absurb and
surrealistic.

Also I don't think English is particularly imperialistic in
taking from other languages.   First, I don't think we
can anthropomorphize language, and second, there are
lots of other examples.   (Some might hold that language
is supremely subject to anthropomorphism, but that
argument would be seriously off-topic!)

You don't create a partition to restore to when you're using g4u. It 
does a bit by bit copy so it creates the slice and partitions for you 
automatically. As the documentation for g4u says, it's most useful 
when the source disk and target disk are the same size. It works when 
the target disk is bigger, but the slice will only be as big as the 
original slice.

While I 've done source upgrades across major version bumps, my
recommendation is (if at alll feasible) to buy a new disk and start
over.  It's amazing the amount of crud that accumulates on most
people's disks.  Mount the old disk read-only, and copy off any
desired files, then store it as "ultimate backup" for six months or
so.

It turns out that dd defaults to 512-byte blocks so I didn't

still running.  Is this a valid method of copying the entire contents
of one drive to another?  Thank you.


Bah!  That's too slow for my taste.  I would usually go for a newfs,
dump, and restore option.  For instance, to create a copy of /usr on a
second disk:

newfs -U /dev/ad1s1a
mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt
dump -0 -a -L /usr | ( cd /mnt ; restore ruvf - )

Copying with dd(1) is not as fast :)


I had to clone a couple systems a while back, and I also did it with
dump/restore. The best part was this was the first time I actually
restored my backups to a bare hard drive. It gave me a lot of
confidence that my backups actually work. I think a lot of people find
out too late that whatever backup solution they're using is flawed and
they can't rebuild their system from it.

If you're using 1-to-1 NAT forwarding, run identd or the inetd-based version on
the internal hosts you're forwarding to.  If you're using NAT to only forward
individual ports to specific machines, or are using NAT for outbound connection
sharing only, well, you can only forward ident requests to a single machine; I
don't know of a better solution.

Did you get a kernel dump after the reboot?  If you did, and you generated a
backtrace as described here:


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

I reckon you'ld see that it panic'd with 'kmem_map too small':

#0  doadump () at pcpu.h:165
#1  0xc063ce7f in boot (howto=260) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:399
#2  0xc063d1a5 in panic (fmt=0xc0888692 "kmem_malloc(%ld): kmem_map too small: %
ld total allocated") at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:555
#3  0xc07aa349 in kmem_malloc (map=0xc10600c0, size=16384, flags=1026) at /usr/s
rc/sys/vm/vm_kern.c:299
#4  0xc07a1c72 in page_alloc (zone=0x0, bytes=16384, pflag=0x0, wait=1026) at /u
sr/src/sys/vm/uma_core.c:957
[etc...]

It's a bug -- the VM system seems to starve the memory disk of pages, causing
a crash.  See the example given at the end of 

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/87255

The ultimate cause would be running a bunch of programs that are heavy on
the memory requirements, and running out of memory for both them and the
malloc backed memory filesystem.  See mdconfig(8) -- as it says:

malloc   Storage for this type of memory disk is allocated with
  malloc(9).  This limits the size to the malloc bucket
  limit in the kernel.  If the -o reserve option is not
  set, creating and filling a large malloc-backed memory
  disk is a very easy way to panic a system.

Hence using '-o reserve' looks like a very good thing to try.  Alternatively
use a swap backed memory disk, or don't use a memory disk at all.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hmmm... Seems you've changed the version of pdflib installed on your
machine -- maybe to the pdflib-perl port?

Anyhow, if you're immediately going to upgrade phpMyAdmin (and you should:
that old version has some known vulnerabilities) then while running 'pkgdb -F'
just *delete* the dependency on pdflib.  That will clear the pkgdb enough
for portupgrade to run, and as soon as it installs the updated version of
phpMyAdmin, it will put back the correct list of dependencies.

Hi all,

I am seeking information about what this and other similar messages mean, and 
corrective action to take. At the time of the error message, the machine 
spontaneously rebooted (apparently without panic ) and came back with a corrupt 
/var filesystem (to  which fsck required manuall intervention to recover).

The machine is a dual Xeon ASUS NCCH-DL board with 4 GB of ram, running 6.0 
STABLE Thu Dec 222 18:24:2005, and has otherwise been reliable. The machine was 
placed into test as a secondary mail server, seeded with dictionary-attack 
accounts and allowed to collect UCE and ratware at will, as a test for 
SpamAssassin and MIMEDefang. ( Also makes a goot test for a pf-spamd teergrube.)

 md2 is a 512mB memory disk mounted on /var/spool/MIMEDefang, to allow quick 
scanning with less hardware disk IO. The main hardware drive controller is a 
3ware 4 port SATA controller in raid mirror mode.

Googling on this vfs_done()  seems to show various similar requests for

RE: sshd / ssh setup

2006-02-10 Thread fbsd_user
For the archives.

Example of configuring OpenSSH

Environment description:
In this example we have a FreeBSD system which we will call the
host.
We have an Remote FreeBSD system  which is located some where on the
public internet, we will call this the FBSD-client.
We also have an Remote MS/windows system  which is located some
where
on the public internet, we will call this the Win-client.
OpenSSH has a few different security levels when it comes to how
the ssh login is handled. This example details the encrypted
host/client key with passphrase method.
This method gives the maximum protection possible utilizing ssh.

Host setup steps.

1.  Edit /etc/rc.conf and add this statement
sshd_enable=”YES”
Make sure your firewall allows port 22 in from the public internet.
Reboot your system to activate sshd and login as root.
If this is your first time booting with sshd you will have to
  create the host keys.
sshd will show you this on the first sshd boot only.


Type a full screen full of random junk to unblock
it and remember to finish with . This will
timeout in 300 seconds, but waiting for
the timeout without typing junk may make the
entropy source deliver predictable output.

Just hit  for fast+insecure startup.

kern.random.sys.seeded: 1 -> 0
qkcir83,2jsn40pl722jjbqok    this is the example junk entered

2.  If you do a “ps ax” command you will see sshd as
  one of the running tasks.

3.  Using adduser or pw command create a normal user account.
For this example we will use bob as the host user account name.

4.  Hit alt/f2 at same time to open second session and login using
bob.

5.  Run this command   ssh-keygen -t rsa
Just hit enter to take default location and file name
No need to enter a pass phrase for the host user here,
  just hit enter 2 times

6.  If you want to ssh login as Host ‘root’, you have to run
  step 5 above while logged in as root on the host. Also
  edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change this statement

#PermitRootLogin notoPermitRootLogin yes

Then   killall –HUP sshd
  to make sshd task reread it’s sshd_config file.



FBSD-client setup steps.

1.  Using adduser or pw command create a normal user account.
  For this example we will use remotetom as the user account
name.

2.  Login using remotetom.

3.  Run this command   ssh-keygen -t rsa
Just hit enter to take default location and file name
At the “Enter a passphrase prompt” [enter one and write it down,
  because it will be needed for ssh login to the host].
This is what you will see

4.  The Public key file you just created  /remotetom/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
  has to be sent to the Host system. On the host system rename
it
  to authorized_keys2 and put it into the home directory of the
  user setup earlier. In this case ~/bob/.ssh/authorized_keys2.

5.  To ssh to the host enter this   ssh hostname  or ssh
host-ip-address
The first time you ssh to the Host you will get these messages.
  Answer yes if you are sure this first connection is with your

Thank you for the links however, this isn't what I asked. Allow me to re 
articulate:


1. I would like a link to either where there may be a full blown DVD image 
of 6.0 or a torrent.


2. If not the above, the layout used to create the DVD image.

Now allow me to explain 1 and 2 so there isn't anymore wild answers to 
questions users seem to think they read.


Reason 1:
If installing more then just the base OS (allow me to say that one key 
word, INSTALL) then swapping out the CD's is not something I'm willing to 
spend 3 hours doing (perhaps that was an embellishment after the fact).


Reason 2:
If there isn't a DVD image to download (either in whole or torrent) then 
the layout would allow me to create my own INSTALL DVD with my curent 6.0 
roms.


There - now that I have taken the time to eplain this, I hope there isn't 
anymore confusion as to what I'm asking.



Best regards,
Chris

Sure you can.  Just edit your ports supfile to have:

  *default release=cvs tag=RELEASE_4_6_0

and re-cvsup.  Note that the tags used in ports are disjoint from the tags
used in the main system sources.  Mix them up and you'll end up with a
/usr/ports (or a /usr/src) with not a lot in it.

There's also no guarantee that any of the distfiles referenced from a
ports tree that old will still be available.

It does conflict. I deinstalled openssl and installed openssl-beta until I'd 
installed OO, then got rid of openssl-beta and reinstalled openssl! It worked 
fine, although i don't know what the security inplications of that might be, 
if any.

Not sure about how to get that working nicely with webmail, but the
rest is simple.

You need to have the storage space exported by nfs to every server
machine. Using maildir helps massively as well. This is truely great
for this sort of enviroments.

I have been happy with qmail+spamcontrol, bincimap, spamassassin,
procmail, and clamassassin at work. It all runs nicely over nfs as
well.

Sorry no. But I am sure that you'll not have many choices, if any.
Content providers have very strict policies about the content they
provide(movies). Having the data on a PC program(closed source
of course) increases the possibility of data leaking and I guess they
don't want to mess up with Paramount or whatever...

Yes, this is pretty much the important point :)

Right :)  It also allows restoring in a different partition layout.

I used this recently to 'recover' my laptop's installation, using a
spare partition.  Before running 'installkernel' and 'installworld',
a backup of my root, /var and /usr partitions was saved with:

# cd /home/backup
# dump -o -aL -f root.ad0s1a /
# dump -o -aL -f var.ad0s1d  /var
# dump -o -aL -f usr.ad0s1e  /usr

A 'copy' of the original /, /var and /usr was restored in ad0s2a, which
was a single UFS partition, large enough to hold a restored copy of my
old /, /var and /usr partitions:

# newfs -U /dev/ad0s2a
# mount /dev/ad0s2a /mnt
# ( cd /mnt;  restore -ruf /home/backup/root.ad0s1a )
# ( cd /mnt/var ; restore -ruf /home/backup/var.ad0s1d  )
# ( cd /mnt/usr ; restore -ruf /home/backup/var.ad0s1e  )

Then, when things went totally nuts after the installation of a new
system on ad0s1* partitions, I could still boot from ad0s2a and restore
my old backup copies from /home :)

"ses" stands for "SCSI Environmental Services", and seems to be a standard for
managing hot-plug enclosures, fault-tolerance, drive temperatures, and voltages,
etc.  See "man ses" and /usr/share/examples/ses.



Thanks, I had seen that. Still I quite don't get it. What management are 
we talking about? I've always thought of hot plug devices as dumb 
connectors...

WHY is it doing that?! Since I want to use this folder as my own

not root, I have to do the extra step of changing owner of the folder
every time...quite annoying.
how can I fix this?


The owner of the "root" folder on the filesystem on md13.eli is root.
Just chown/chmod it once it's mounted and it'll stick.

It's your scsi processor...i guess it's nice because it allows you to

Not really. That's:

Anyone have a mirror that supports at least a torrent for 6.0 on DVD?
I hate the ISO's with all that damned swithing of the CD's.

Better yet, doe anyone know the layout used to create the DVD?

Never create a problem for which you do not have
the answer.


It's obvious that you have not installed at least 6.0 - and if you have, 
you have not installed more then just the base.

Please refrain from spewing out something that you have not done.

Heh - swapping the CD only twice. Really now.

My googling led me to believe that it's to do with a problem in jdk patchset 8 
for freebsd. Ive had exactly the same problem and ended up installing vi 
pkg_add :-(

Seems like the best solution would be to let it use jdk15, but it doesn't seem 
to want to play.

Good luck,
Ben
