Trading cautiously on new ports
I managed to recover from my misadventures (trying to upgrade gnome) the dumb way, namely, by reinstalling FreeBSD (6.0 Release) and the ports from the ISO CD images. Fortunately the process is fast and painless. Hats off to the folks who make the ISO images. I have over 300 ports installed. The only inconsistency I encountered so far was the unavailability of pdflib 6.0.1 as a dependency for gnuplot. Looks like only pdflib 6.0.2 is available on the net at the moment and gnuplot port in the ISO CD refuses to build with pdflib 6.0.2 sources. This led me to find out how to check out the effects of installing a new port or new versions of installed ports (from a portsnap fetch or cvsup download) non-destructively by extracting the new version of a port PATH as a non-root user in a different ports directory, for example: portsnap -p /home/myports extract print/pdflib and by attempting to build the new port version with make rather than with make install clean. This way I have no risk of upsetting my installed ports (installed as root) since anyway I cannot write in /usr/local or /usr/X11R6 etc as the non-root user. Once I see that the new port build finds all the installed dependency ports in order and the build completes without surprises, I rebuild it as root, deinstall the previous port version, and install the new one or can do a portsnap extract followed by a portupgrade (this time into /usr/ports) safely. I did this for pdflib+gnuplot. Have to try this on a large and complex port such as gnome. I understand that there is no such thing as solving the stale dependency problem once and for all (thanks for all the illuminating discussion on the ports/packages). But is there a clean command for reporting the dependencies (with versions) of a new port or a new port version without actually attempting to make/install/ or upgrade it? And may be such a command also shows the versions of these dependencies installed on the system at the moment, so that one can have a sneak preview of any upgrade trouble brewing? The closest to this I see is pkg_add -n but it requires a built package. I was hoping that there was a way to do this kind of dependency analysis by extracting the dependencies from the ports descriptions, but I haven't been able to figure out the commands necessary for that. Sometimes a potentially complex upgrade is not life-critical and may be I want to upgrade only if I'm sure that it won't lead to the kind of chaos I landed myself into with my gnome upgrade attempt. Until I see a safe way such as the above, I'll probably wait till the next suitable ISO CDs to upgrade major stuff such as FreeBSD itself, X11, and Gnome.

Install USB Printer on FreeBSD

When I try to print a test page the printer makes a normal noise like it is trying to get paper but it does not print. Just stops. If I try to print a file nothing happens.

Default Gateway is dig_rt.
When a connection arrives on one of the dsl_if's it is redirected to the
correct port on the dms_srv, traced via tcpdump.
The dmz_srv responds but tries to send its reply out the default gateway
instead of via the interface the connection arrived on.
The dmz server is actually a LVS cluster masqueraded.
All connections coming in via the dig_if get redirected and work fine.
How can i tell pf to return connections out the same interface they

queries providing write support to ufs2 in linux
hello, Currently I am trying to give write support to the UFS2 file system in linux 2.6.10 which is a native file system for FreeBSD operating system.Right now the UFS2 has just read-only support in linux. The current status is that i have been able to create the directories successfully in linux partition with UFS2 mounted on it without the freebsd partition getting corrupted. So whenever i try to open a file or write sm data into it,the process terminates out giving segmentation fault n this fault is sm divide by 0 error. I have been able to trace out this error also,where does it come from.its the following macro which uses s_spc which has 0 value right at the time of file system getting registered.n hence the divide by 0 error occurs. /* linux-2.6.10/include/linux/ufs_fs.h */ #define ufs_cbtocylno(bno) \ 266 ((bno) * uspi-s_nspf / uspi-s_spc) so here the uspi-s_spc which is sectors per cylinder has value zero.. Also one thing i noticed while tracing down all the parameters of the superblock and cylinder group is that most of them have zero values assigned right from the start when the file system is mounted on linux. so wht can be done in regards to this problem?? n the other thing it that while opening a file or writing data into a file wht care is to be taken or wht is the procedure?? Well i would also like to know wht is the exact disk layout of the UFS2 file system..?? if anyone can give answers to the above questions ,it will be really helpful for me.. thanking you in advance..

RE: winmodem driver
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.

Does anyone know how I can set up my 5.4 system to output French characters? If so, how? You can set the LANG environment variable. For example setting it to fr_CA.ISO8859-1 will produce French Canadian error messages with ISO8859-1 characters. You can see all the available locales with 'locale -a' command. You might need to change the screen fonts for other languages, but the default ISO8859-1 set works fine. Only programs that are locale aware will actually output French, others will continue to output English. Well I changed the LANG variable and my keyboard still outputs English. Ideally I would like to toggle between an English keyboard and a French one. I got one suggestion to use the kbdcontrol command but that too does has no effect. Although when I tried the equivalent method of setting it up in /etc/rc.conf via the keymap variable and rebooted, the console (before startx) was affected (the key bindings were still wrong) but when I entered X-windows I was back to where I started.

While working in techsupport at Linuxcare, and the only one to my knowledge doing so running FreeBSD, I was sitting there one day and this fellow comes in, scans the room and makes a bee-line to my work area. I at the time was the only techsupport with my personal library of Unix/Linux tech books. Having just left the Machinist Union for the 'dot-com' I was alway one for self help. This guy, with the scraggly beard reaches over me, grabs the first FreeBSD book written by Greg Lehey and opens it. At that time in San Francisco we were having alot of homeless people getting into the office building and sometimes wandering the halls on drugs, drunk or whatever. When I asked him Hey..., can I help you? He said, I wrote this book! At that time I was sure he was 5150 (the penal code for being nuts) and I was about to get up and escort him out when one of my co-workers, knowing my background as an ex-steelworker at the San Francisco waterfront quickly jumped in and introduced Greg Lehey to me, I then realized it was not a joke, Greg was not a homeless person, and I've felt honored ever since to have been a co-worker of his, briefly sharing the same domain name in our work's email address. A few weeks later Richard Stallman came through the office... I had the exact same inkling this time but jumped up pre-emptively and again my co-worker came to the rescue. I could write a book of the stuff that I've experienced, maybe call it From the Shipyards to Silicon Valley or something The one thing I've learned (besides FreeBSD kicks ass) is that in this industry you can NEVER, EVER judge a book by it's cover! Fine story; and demonstrates a point: something to the effect of, Free software is *real* software, made for use by people, *real* people, by people, *real* people, who at least have the courage to care about **something** and want to make the world a better place with the skills they have. So, kudos to Grog for this move, and for his advocacy, authorship, coding, community participation ... and whatever else; I'm sure there's been lots of stuff (and also that you can probably read about lots of it in his diary). And to the rest of the hackers. It's said that you can't get something for nothing, but, in the case of FreeBSD, we've almost proved that the saying isn't true - at least for those willing to not judge an OS by its cover Kevin Kinsey -- I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they do today. -- Will Rogers ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Trading cautiously on new ports
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Chandan Haldar thusly... This led me to find out how to check out the effects of installing a new port or new versions of installed ports (from a portsnap fetch or cvsup download) non-destructively by extracting the new version of a port PATH as a non-root user in a different ports directory ... and by attempting to build the new port version with make rather than with make install clean. This way I have no risk of upsetting my installed ports (installed as root) since anyway I cannot write in /usr/local or /usr/X11R6 etc as the non-root user. Once I see that the new port build finds all the installed dependency ports in order and the build completes without surprises, I rebuild it as root, deinstall the previous port version, and install the new one Alternatively, you could change the owner of $PORTS/distfiles $WRKDIRPREFIX to your own user id; run make build in the directory of desired port. If successful, run make install as root. That way, you would save time and unnecessary compilation. But is there a clean command for reporting the dependencies (with versions) of a new port or a new port version without actually attempting to make/install/ or upgrade it? One way is by parsing 'INDEX*' (see textproc/p5-FreeBSD-Ports) which lists the dependency of ports. Other is running 'make pretty-print-run-depends-list pretty-print-build-depends-list' in a port directory[0]. Yet another method is to run make -V RUN_DEPENDS; make -V BUILD_DEPENDS And may be such a command also shows the versions of these dependencies installed on the system at the moment, so that one can have a sneak preview of any upgrade trouble brewing? The closest to this I see is pkg_add -n but it requires a built package. You need pkg_info(1) command listed in SEE ALSO section of pkg_add(1) man page. Use the -r option to list dependencies of a installed port/package. [0] Oddly, pretty-print-run-depends-list target is listing no dependencies in print/teTex ... This port requires package(s) to run. ... which is just absurd as indicated by make -V RUN_DEPENDS ... /misc/local/share/texmf-local/ls-R:/misc/ports/print/tex-texmflocal \ /misc/local/share/texmf-dist/LICENSE.texmf:/misc/ports/print/teTeX-texmf \ latex:/misc/ports/print/teTeX-base \ dvips:/misc/ports/print/dvipsk-tetex \ xdvi:/misc/ports/print/xdvik - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Something like this may work for you:

if [ ${firstline} = ]; then

If you needed to do many files, then make a loop to do each one
for i in *.txt; do addline.sh $i; done
or whatever syntax you need for the shell you are using. I missed
the beginning of the thread so I'm not sure of all the details.
Caveat: This should be checked with some sample files before
using on your good files. I just did a few minimal tests.
Note that this:
sed -i '1{s/^/\
/;}' ${1}
is not a typographical error. It is adding the newline after
the blank line. Check some of the online sed tutorials
for an explanation of the syntax. The manual page for sed
is a bit terse ;-)
Hope this helps more than it confuses!

RE: Is it hack? How to prevent!
What this means is you have no firewall blocking the port numbers those services use. Or you really do have mysql, and SSH installed and people are trying to remotely login and your box is doing its job of denying the unauthorized login attempt. But my money is on the firewall. You have none or it's rules are not correct. Read the firewall section of the FreeBSD handbook and use the ipfilter example rule set.

Default Gateway is dig_rt.
When a connection arrives on one of the dsl_if's it is redirected to
the
correct port on the dms_srv, traced via tcpdump.
The dmz_srv responds but tries to send its reply out the default

instead of via the interface the connection arrived on.
The dmz server is actually a LVS cluster masqueraded.
All connections coming in via the dig_if get redirected and work fine.

You forgot to tell us WHICH model of ThinkPad concerns you. Modems in older ThinkPads, such as a T21 or A20m may be supported by the comms/ltmdm port. I have been unable to find any support for modems in newer ThinkPads, such as the T30 and later. However, somewhere around here I have a modem-only mini-PCI card that came out of my A20m when I upgraded it to a mini-PCI combo card with modem and 10/100 fxp NIC. Both the modem-only card and the combo modem/NIC card had supported modem chipsets. Once I can locate the modem-only PCI card I have (somewhere), I will try to install it in my T30 and see whether I can get modem functionality back. Now, don't blame me if this fries your laptop or causes other mayhem, but if you want to try, you can buy these modem cards pretty cheap on eBay. Based on the part numbers found on IBM's site at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibmlndocid=MIGR-4K6L7B I would try looking for part number 10L1305 or 08K3146. You want a Lucent chipset, since that is what the comms/ltmdm port is written to support. Good luck, and please follow up if you find a solution.

Re: 10 years of The Complete FreeBSD (5150)
Another note of thanks for The Complete FreeBSD. I first bought the third edition published by Walnut Creek CDROM. In fact, it's sitting on my desk now. It's the book that kept me at FreeBSD when I was most frustrated. I'm still relatively new at this, but I love learning all I can about the OS of all OSes ^_^ Regards, James ---BeginMessage--- Bill Schoolcraft wrote: Greg, I want to thank you for you help in making FreeBSD what it is today. I first met Greg on a fluke and a weird one that that too. While working in techsupport at Linuxcare, and the only one to my knowledge doing so running FreeBSD, I was sitting there one day and this fellow comes in, scans the room and makes a bee-line to my work area. I at the time was the only techsupport with my personal library of Unix/Linux tech books. Having just left the Machinist Union for the 'dot-com' I was alway one for self help. This guy, with the scraggly beard reaches over me, grabs the first FreeBSD book written by Greg Lehey and opens it. At that time in San Francisco we were having alot of homeless people getting into the office building and sometimes wandering the halls on drugs, drunk or whatever. When I asked him Hey..., can I help you? He said, I wrote this book! At that time I was sure he was 5150 (the penal code for being nuts) and I was about to get up and escort him out when one of my co-workers, knowing my background as an ex-steelworker at the San Francisco waterfront quickly jumped in and introduced Greg Lehey to me, I then realized it was not a joke, Greg was not a homeless person, and I've felt honored ever since to have been a co-worker of his, briefly sharing the same domain name in our work's email address. A few weeks later Richard Stallman came through the office... I had the exact same inkling this time but jumped up pre-emptively and again my co-worker came to the rescue. I could write a book of the stuff that I've experienced, maybe call it From the Shipyards to Silicon Valley or something The one thing I've learned (besides FreeBSD kicks ass) is that in this industry you can NEVER, EVER judge a book by it's cover! Fine story; and demonstrates a point: something to the effect of, Free software is *real* software, made for use by people, *real* people, by people, *real* people, who at least have the courage to care about **something** and want to make the world a better place with the skills they have. So, kudos to Grog for this move, and for his advocacy, authorship, coding, community participation ... and whatever else; I'm sure there's been lots of stuff (and also that you can probably read about lots of it in his diary). And to the rest of the hackers. It's said that you can't get something for nothing, but, in the case of FreeBSD, we've almost proved that the saying isn't true - at least for those willing to not judge an OS by its cover Kevin Kinsey -- I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they do today. -- Will Rogers ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---End Message--- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dummynet with Dynamic IPFW Rules
I've been looking into using Dummynet for outgoing traffic, and I've found it hard going because the tutorials and how-to's deal with it in isolation, without indicating how it would be used in a real firewall. They generally suggest setting net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=1, which as I understand it, implies that any packet passed into dummynet is passed statically though the firewall. I want to keep my existing dynamic rules, and it seems that one way would be to keep net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0 and follow each dummynet rule with a skipto rule that uses an identical test. So when the packet emerges from dummynet it skips the other pipe and queue rules, and hits the check-state. Something like this: -- ... #prioritize small ack packets 0500 queue 1 tcp from any to any out via vr0 tcpflags ack iplen 0-80 0501 skipto 1000 tcp from any to any out via vr0 tcpflags ack iplen 0-80 #prioritize ntp 0600 queue 1 tcp from any to any out ntp via vr0 0601 skipto 1000 tcp from any to any out ntp via vr0 other queuing rules 1000 check-state 1010 deny tcp from any to any in established 1020 allow tcp from any to any out setup keep-state 1030 allow udp from any to any ntp out keep-state other statefull rules -- Will this work? And is it the best way to handle this problem? It seems a bit clumsy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

changing Sendmail server's IP address, nightmare!
Does anyone have any specific information on making IP address changes to Sendmail servers since I have found that this situation is a lot more difficult/tedious than I had thought. The Sendmail server in question is also providing DNS for a web server, but I would like to use our new ISP's DNS info for our web domains and for the mail server. In a nutshell, I recently started working for a small business that has a mail server and web server, this occurred just after they had already begun switching to a new ISP (Mpower). I thought I knew enough UNIX/sys admin info to make this happen but this has turned into a minor nightmare for me, since Sendmail has so many files that may contain the old IP info. - Yahoo!

Sendmail can rely and usually *does* rely heavily on DNS for providing information about the IP addresses. The default FreeBSD setup uses the file /etc/mail/local-host-names as a list of hostnames or domain names for which delivery will be done 'locally', but that's pretty much all of it.

Having a traceback would be good though... but at least mentioning that the issue laid with the re (?) kernel driver would be a start. Unfortunately without a traceback the panic string is useless since it gives you no clue about how the system got into that state. This kind of panic is often a secondary effect of some other problem. Kris True, but at least you'd be able to find a way to the affected code... After that it's just tests and debugging =\... I don't understand what you're suggesting; how do you find the affected code without a traceback? Kris pgpdVvOcWJEZU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: libtool port directory error during portupgrade
Thanks, that indeed had the answer. I guess I will reinstall.

Smbfs hang when connection broken
Processes that access a share from a remote machine hang if the connection goes away. I'm using FBSD V5.4 and mount_smbfs. This can be replicated by the following sequence: 1) Share a file system from a remote Windows machine. 2) Mount the share using mount_smbfs 3) Start a tar() command to copy the data from the windows share. 4) Unplug the network cable from the windows box The ps() command shows that smbiod has a stat of SL (sleeping and waiting to acquire a lock) and the tar() process stat is D (uniterruptable wait). If you kill smbiod, the FBSD system hangs and has to be rebooted. Is there any workaround to this issue?
