Re: Wireless Keyboard/Mouse: how to configure?
Rob wrote: I have a wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. The basic functionality is OK. However, some of the extra features do not work yet: 1) The middle mouse button is also a scroll wheel. I can't get the scroll wheel working. I have added the option ZAxisMapping 4 5 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but that does not help. What else should I try? I'll answer my own email on this point, as I got it actually working. With 'xev' I figured out that it is mouse button 8 and 9 that reflect the mouse wheel events. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I added in the mouse section: Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 In /etc/rc.conf, I added: moused_flags=-z 4 I restarted the moused daemon and X11. Then with the 'xmodmap -pp' I figured out that my mouse is listed with 11 buttons. To make the wheel work, I had to swap 4 5 with 8 9 as follows: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 8 9 6 7 4 5 10 11 and to make this effective every time I login, I added this line in $HOME/.xsession That's all for the mouse wheel to get working, at least for me. I hope it may help others. Don't know yet how to get the special keys on my wireless keyboard working. Regards, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RAID issues
I'm not subscribed to freebsd-questions, so please Cc me on any responses. Hello, I'm in the process of building a new server based on Supermicro's SuperServer 5014C-T platform. It uses the Intel ICH6 SATA controllers and supports RAID0 and RAID1 via Intel MatrixRAID. I have the BIOS set up for RAID1 and usually FreeBSD detects this and everything is fine. My problem is that on occasion, on a reboot, one of the drives (usually the second one, ata3 on atapci1) is not detected at all by FreeBSD. The BIOS continues to detect both drives but FreeBSD does not. When this happens, FreeBSD notes that the RAID is in a degraded state. I can use atacontrol to detach and reattach ata3 which usually finds the drive but the damage has been done. What I mean by damage is this: On the next reboot, I have massive filesystem errors, even after a full fsck. These errors are usually related to soft-updates. These errors are so bad that the kernel will panic as soon as a file is accessed in the bad partition. The only workaround I have found so far is to boot into single user mode and run newfs on the partition(s) that are causing the kernel panic. Obviously this is a less than ideal solution. My question is this. Does this sound like bad hardware, or a software problem? I thought at first that it might be a bad hard drive but I ran some diagnostic software on them and they both came up clean. Has anyone else experienced this? Perhaps turning off soft-updates is the answer? Here's some dmesg output (when things are working properly): atapci0: Intel ICH6 UDMA100 controller port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xf000-0xf00f at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: ATA channel 0 on atapci0 ata1: ATA channel 1 on atapci0 atapci1: Intel ICH6 SATA150 controller port 0xe900-0xe907,0xea00-0xea03,0xeb00-0xeb07,0xec00-0xec03,0xed00-0xed0f mem 0xd03c3000-0xd03c33ff irq 19 at device 31.2 on pci0 ata2: ATA channel 0 on atapci1 ata3: ATA channel 1 on atapci1 acd0: CDROM CD-224E-N/1.AA at ata0-master UDMA33 ad4: 381554MB WDC WD4000YR-01PLB0 01.06A01 at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 381554MB WDC WD4000YR-01PLB0 01.06A01 at ata3-master SATA150 ar0: 381553MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID1 status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad4 at ata2-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master I still have the latest vmcore dump if that will help. -Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to have 6.0-STABLE in order to install packages built for 6.0-STABLE. Yeah. I finally understand that. So, in actuality, BSD _was_ fetching in the correct place. Unfortunately for me, when I passed the Env variable to the shell, it wasn't at the correct FTP PATH. Which messed things up. (BSD is really a different animal. In Gentoo, there's no such thing as a release only stable or unstable/bleeding which we mark as either x86 or ~x86) And to get from FreeBSD-Release to FreeBSD-Stable is done through compiling ports. But I also found out that we can do it via packages. just CVSup ports, put in the correct ENV PACKAGESITE variable and then the best tip I found was to install portupgrade. Now it's just #portupgrade -vPP packagename and it will fetch and only fetch Binary Releases.

Re: Startup script
Hi all, newbie question: which script do I put stuff that needs to be booted during system startup, like apache httpd, spamd, named, etc? First of all, you should put a separate script for each utility to start in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory. Many of these utilities do that for you automatically when you install them through the ports system. The script should be written to accept at least start|stop as arguments. When the system boots, it attempts to run every script in that directory, I believe in standard sort order and gives each the 'start' argument. Then when the shutdown is run, it runs each with the 'stop' argument. To qualify for execution, the sctipt name must end in '.sh' and it must have execute persission. Some of them must be activated by putting a line in the /etc/rc.conf.local file (or just /etc/rc.conf if you prefer but I don't like to clutter it up too much) to set an appropriate environment variable. Most of them are in the form of something like UTILITY_RUN=YES or similar. Check the script and the utility documentation to see what sort of environment variable must be set. The script checks for whatever environment variable it wants to when it runs to see what it should do. A very old fashioned and currently unsupported way was to put a command in the /etc/usr.local file, but that is no longer a good way to do it. jerry Joacim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm not sure if I had a working machine that was up on its security patches that I would upgrade, where admittedly 5.4 to 6.x is not a huge jump (compared to 4 - 5 or even 3 - 4). Assuming all goes well your down- time should be the time it takes the server to reboot, but if (very big) your buildworld has some hidden fault (personal experience when /bin/sh would dump core on every invocation, very difficult to fix) you could be looking at a couple of days of downtime. Whereas I believe that the 6.x series is much better than 5.x, I'm not convinced that the risk/reward payoff is that great, doubly so given that it's a production machine. 5.4, while obsolete from a numerical standpoint, will be useable for a long while: years, probably. If the hardware itself is nothing special, or replaceable for less than the cost of downtime, you might look into putting up a second server running the new software, test carefully for a week or so, and then gracefully transition. All of this is speculation. As a postscript: the tales of 5.x to 6.x upgrades have been for the most part very painless, but in production systems conservatism leads to happy customers. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

saslauthd problems
I am having great difficulty in getting SMTP-AUTH working on a mail server. I went through this not too long ago on another box, and was able to get it working (SSL is another story). On this box, when I try to send an email, I get the following in maillog: Feb 26 23:42:16 ns1 sm-mta[1783]: NOQUEUE: connect from node-40241be2.mdw.onnet.us.uu.net [64.36.27.226] Feb 26 23:42:16 ns1 sm-mta[1783]: AUTH: available mech=NTLM LOGIN ANONYMOUS PLAIN GSSAPI OTP DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5, allowed mech=PLAIN LOGIN Feb 26 23:42:16 ns1 sm-mta[1783]: k1R5gGCB001783: Milter: no active filter Feb 26 23:42:17 ns1 sm-mta[1783]: k1R5gGCB001783: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=node-40241be2.mdw.onnet.us.uu.net [64.36.27.226], reject=550 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required. I checked to see if saslauthd was running: ns1# ps -aux | grep saslauthd root 532 0.0 0.4 2824 1884 ?? Is8:41PM 0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a pam root 533 0.0 0.3 2776 1604 ?? I 8:41PM 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a pam root 534 0.0 0.3 2776 1604 ??

I 8:41PM 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a pam The only other mention in any of the logs regarding sasl I could find was this: Feb 26 20:41:53 ns1 saslauthd[532]: detach_tty : master pid is: 532 Feb 26 20:41:53 ns1 saslauthd[532]: ipc_init: listening on socket: /var/state/saslauthd/mux System is FreeBSD 6.0 using a fresh install. System has latest ports of Sendmail, IMAP-UW, Cyrus-SASL2, Cyrus-SASL2-Auth I can relay without a problem if I add my IP to the Sendmail Access db, but it won't work with SMTP-AUTH. Sendmail was installed as part of the base install. I added the following commands to /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 I then ran the whole make buildworld, make kernel, etc. deal, then recompiled Sendmail as follows: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail make clean make depend make make install Added the following to my mc file: define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl ran make cf make install make restart I added saslauthd_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf, and it appears to be starting at boot. I checked /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf, and have the following: pwcheck_method: saslauthd I then went back through and checked all of the Makefiles and startup scripts as I saw a bug mentioned in the docs that said to check the library paths (if compiling from scratch), and everything seems to be pointing to where it should be. I've gone through both systems and cannot find a difference in either the way they were compiled or configured, yet I'm at a standstill. The only difference is that on the system that is giving me fits is I rebuilt the /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db from a backup of master.passwd using pwd_mkdb. I checked the password dbs on both systems thinking I might have some kind of db compatability problem, both files on both systems came back as follows: ns1# file /etc/pwd.db /etc/pwd.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) ns1# file /etc/spwd.db /etc/pwd.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) As far as I can figure out, saslauthd is configured to fall back to it's own database authentication scheme if other methods fail, and the Milter: no active filter error is probably it complaining that it can't find the database. Why isn't it checking the password file? Anyone have any ideas? I'm at my wit's end. TIA Greg Groth _ Is your PC infected?

All is not lost because I think I have 3-6.3 MP images of the panic and the trace back. How can I get a dumpdev that early into the boot? This is turning into the pain I thought it would be :). Unfortunately I don't think you can. dumpon(8) says you can set a loader variable, but this is just an outdated manpage and that facility went away in 2002 (probably something to do with GEOM).

It may be trying to confuse me but I have to use the NIC in XP before it will panic on the FreeBSD boot. My sacrificial machine only runs 6-stable and it is much harder to make panic. XP is probably leaving the NIC in some kind of inconsistent state, causing the diagnostic error at boot. Fixing that will probably require detailed knowledge of the hardware, but it still should not panic in the error path, and this part should be easier to fix since it's probably just a bad assumption about lock state.
