Installing FreeBSD with undetected USB keyboard

[Kenyon Ralph]

Howdy, longtime Linux user here, finally starting to play with
FreeBSD.  Having a problem getting it installed...

I have a USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard connected to an Intel
SE440BX-2 motherboard.  The keyboard works fine in the BIOS setup and
in Linux booted from a CD.  Booting with a
6.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso CD gives me no keyboard functionality at
all.

I've tried enabling and disabling "legacy USB support" in the BIOS; no
difference.

I'm thinking that maybe if I set ukbd_load="YES" in
/boot/defaults/loader.conf.local, the keyboard might work.  But there
is no mention of modifying the installation media (either floppy or
CD) in either the Handbook or the Installation Instructions.

Obviously I can't press a key during the boot sequence to enter commands.

I've searched the mailing lists but can't find anybody with a problem
like this before.  Anybody have any ideas, besides get a PS/2
keyboard?

Thanks!

You could ask Microsoft the same question.  I've had Windows systems
unstable due to crappy motherboards.

Sometimes you just got to face it that crap is crap.  With motherboards
you simply don't know how they are going to work until you try them.

I don't see why this is harsh though, the retailer simply returns the
board to the manufacturer, who has to deal with problems that they
caused.

It depends how far along the curve you want to be.  Chipset manufacturers
constantly change their products and new support is going into FreeBSD
all
the time, the problem is the newest boards probably won't be 100%
supported.  This is a separate issue from the reputation of the chipsets
of course, SiS probably has the worst reputation, VIA is a bit better,
Intel is better than that, etc.

What you want to look for are chipsets that are built on older designs,
for example the Intel ICH7 is a brushup of the ICH6 which is a brushup
of the ICH5, etc. you get the idea.  Thus it's really easy to add in
support for it since the earlier variants are already supported.  By
contrast a brand new chipset line that has never seen FreeBSD before is
going to take a lot longer to support.

And of course, it's better to look for server quality hardware since
more of that is going to be used for FreeBSD by the folks that are
more advanced and will be supported faster.

Dracd startup script giving $command_interpreter error upon boot

[Troy]

I recently installed drac-1.12_4 and it's working fine but upon startup I
get an error

/etc/rc: WARNING: $command_interpreter -i !=xELFxxx
[: /usr/local/sbin/rpc.dracd: unexpected operator

My settings in rc.conf are straight forward 

dracd_enable="YES"
dracd_flags="-i -e 5 /usr/local/etc/postfix/dracd.db"

I can't see what would be causing this strange error on startup. I'm using
the default rc script that came with the port. 

Thoughts?

SpamAssassin with Syslog-NG startup error with Syslog.pm

[Troy]

I'm using SpamAssassin 3.1.1 and upon startup I get the following error:

[767] error: no connection to syslog available
[767] error: _- unix dgram connect: Connection refused at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Logger/Syslog.pm
line 79

I believe this is because I'm using syslog-ng vs. the standard syslog
built in with FreeBSD 6.0.  

I tried to make sure the syslog-ng daemon load before SpamAssassin by
changing the name of the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d but to no
avail...I still get that error upon startup.

Once the system starts up - SpamAssassin is sending syslogs properly but
I'd really like to solve the error.

Thoughts?

1. Is the config file in the correct place?

2. Increase the log level.

3. Do you have rc.conf properly set up?  You probably need

samba_enable="YES"

/home is symlinked to /usr/home - question about backups

[Pat Maddox]

I got a dedicated server a while ago, and it came with /home symlinked
to /usr/home.  I'm not entirely sure why, to tell you the truth, but
it's never posed a problem.  However if I run rsync -avz to back up my
server, it creates something like this:

/backup/march/19/home -> /usr/home

So if I were to go to /backup/march/19 and rm -rf * wouldn't it go and
delete everything in /usr/home?  That's obviously not my intended
result.  I've read all the symlink options in man rsync but honestly
am not sure what it is that I need to do.  Ideally I'd like to have
symlinks reference the relative file..so something like
/backup/march/19/home -> /backup/march/19/usr/home

That way I don't lose all my stuff if I remove the file from backup. 
Right now I'm just ignoring /home when I rsync, but it makes me kind
of worried that if I ever backup without ignoring /home and then
delete my backup I might lose my live data...I could really use some
info.

I think that's called public domain. 

Since the BSD license like GPL defaults to normal copyright if not followed or 
accepted it's at *your* descretion whether or not someone can/will be sued, 
and no one elses. You're the copyright holder and you decided to cover 
reproduction with the BSDL (you can make exceptions as you please as well) on 
top of copyright with or without a declaration of you asserting your 
copyright --  which some feel makes your standing stronger (see also: "all 
rights reserved") in case you get involved in a copyright issue. 

The licenses themselves could only become of legal importance if you accuse 
someone of breach while they say they still accept the license but believe 
they abide to it. But that can only be started by your declaring copyright 
infringement. This is more prominent in the GPL but it applies for the BSDL 
as well I think.

So what I think (IANALIJRS) is that you're proposing something that 
essentially gives up copyright. That's the public domain as I understand it.

xset dpms during X startup?

Is it possible to configure xset(1) DPMS settings in a ~/.xsession

I have the following ~/.xsession file:

 /usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms 1800 7200 14400
 /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash &

But after logging into XDM after X is restarted 'xset q' still shows:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 7200Suspend: 7200Off: 14400
  DPMS is Disabled

Option "DPMS" is enabled in my xorg.conf.

Is there something I don't know about DPMS and .xsession?

Your script seems to have wrapped by your mail client.

Anyway, in rsync(1) man page, see "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES"
section, point 2 ...

  o if the pattern ends with a / then it will only  match  a  direc-
tory, not a file, link, or device.


In other words, none of your exclude patterns for directories end in
'/' , thus the backup, src, ports, etc. directories are not
excluded.

Re: BSD License "Innocence" Clause Proposal

So, if I understand this correctly, you basically want a license that asks
that your name be mentioned if/when someone modifies your work and then
republishes it, but with no real boundaries?

Why not just publish your work and ask that those who use it for their own
benefit just acknowledge your portion of it? I don't know, maybe I missed
something...

I have no doubt FreeBSD will one day move to the 4.x series of gcc,

Linux for FreeBSD was that such things were not done in FreeBSD just  
because there was a bump in version number. FreeBSD waited for others  
to work out the kinks in gcc-3.x before converting the -STABLE  
branch. Same for conversion from aout to ELF binary format.


So in a sense what my answer is asking is, "What is it that you  
expect of gcc-4.x that makes it desirable?" I'll color my statement  
by observing when installing XCode on my MacBook, I deleted the  
option for gcc-4.0. Gcc-3.3 was marked "mandatory" and I didn't feel  
adventurous. At least at the command line, gcc couldn't find cc1

certain dirs (ports, obj, etc).  However when I run the script it
doesn't exclude anything, leaving me with pretty massive backups. 
Here's the entire script.

/, /var, /usr, and /backup are all on different partitions.  The key
part is at the bottom where it calls rsync and excludes dirs.  Can
someone tell me what's wrong with the script?

Thanks to the postmaster for his/her help on this one.

It seems that in order to have your replies to a topic threaded 
correctly you
need to add a second field to your message header block labelled 
"Reply-To".

This can be selected from the drop down list that appears if you click "To"
on the left side of a header block entry. (Same as making CC, BCC
fields, etc.)

On the right side of the "Reply-To" entry, paste the "Message-ID" of the
message you wish to reply to. This is present for every message when 
receiving

in the "digest form".

(Not sure about receiving messages one-by-one. You might need to go
View -> Headers -> All in order to see the Message-ID?)

Be sure to include the leading and trailing angle brackets
(ie. the less-than and greater-than signs) !!

Cheers,
Jarrod.

Is this reply threaded correctly? I sent it using Thunderbird doing

Hmmm.   Do you want sshd or inetd listening on the port and being the
first one to screen things?

Anyway, inetd provides some front end checking and doesn't even start
it if it isn't from an acceptable place.

One doesn't start anything from the rc.conf file - at least properly.
Those things get started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

What goes in /etc/rc.conf are environmental variable settings that
those rc.d scripts look at to determine what to do.

I'm not sure this is correct.  If you read sshd(8), you'll see in the
FILES section that sshd will read /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
on its own (i.e. it's compiled/linked with libwrap).  Looking at
/usr/src/crypto/openssh/Makefile.in for the sshd target verifies this.

That's not to say that some work to sshd isn't required to get it to
work outside of inetd.conf.  After hosts.allow is updated, you may need
to send a persistent sshd daemon a HUP to re-read config files, or
something along those lines.  I'm not familiar with whether or not the
functions in libwrap automatically detect changes to the hosts.allow
file, or it's read only when the initialize routines in the library are
called.

I'd do the same there unless there is a good reason not to (and the same
for /tmp, /var/, etc) as SOP anyway.

Because Chris wants to limit sshd's connections with 'hosts.allow'
thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that inetd will
start ssh daemon every time new connection is made and that's why it's
not recommended (as written in default hosts.allow file). The
alternative is running sshd as a daemon and limit connections with,
say, pf's overload, max-src-conn and max-src-conn-rate.

Karol

How about on the other server?  The files go to the /home partition

kldload and kldunload cannot find modules ...

[Kiffin Gish]

I recently uninstalled a number of zaptel modules for an asterisk
installation.

However, everytime I boot and shutdown I keep seeing error messages that
certain modules cannot be found.

I check the loader.conf and others but cannot find any reference to this
modules, the lines of which obviously were not removed during the
installation.

Any idea where else these load/unload commands might be?

How did you set up denyhosts? Daemon? Cron?

  

p.s.

OK, I was able to get to work by just starting out with a blank 
hosts.allow.  Everything is allowed by default, so when denyhosts adds a 
deny line to the file, it will deny access to that host.


Also, sshd can't be started in rc.conf, it has to be started in 
inetd.conf.  Make sure you do a /etc/rc.d/inetd restart after you make 
changes.

You need to put named_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf and get your nameserver
working on .5, put another working nameserver into your DHCP config, or both.

Nat, dhcpd and ipfw

[David Ulrich]

Hi,

I'm running a FreeBSD 6.0 on my new router. I want to user it for  
webserver, fileserver, router and dhcp server.
This computer is between my clients and my modem. I have 2 ethernet  
interfaces. The interface which is on internet side (vr0) use  
dhclient, the other is on an fixed IP (re0).


I have installed dhcpd and natd succesfully. My clients get an good  
IP and I can ping the world ! But my problem is that I can't ping the  
world with dns an example:
I can ping 216.239.39.105 which is google.ch, but when I ping  
google.ch it returns -> ping:unknow host google.ch


From the server I can ping google.ch (it resolve dns name).

I have probabiliy misconfigured something but what? I stricly have  
read the how-to, manuals, etc
I don't have fixed domain name servers and I don't think it's  
usefull. I just need that dns request are taken from "vr0" to "re0"...


WORLD <--> re0 ; MYSERVER ; vr0 <--> my clients

Re: raid 1 with gmirror && install loader on 2nd disk

[Yance Kowara]

Hi Petre,

I played with gmirror sometime ago following this
howto:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2

I had the same question, and googling gmirror returns
nothing. I posted the 
question on that website and there was no answer.

I tried then to remove the primary hdd, and used the
secondary one as the 
primary... it boots...no problem, no drama.

I stick in a fresh hdd as a secondary, rebuild gmirror
and it's up and 
running as raid1 again, no drama.

If you go to the howto website, another user has
replied to my question and 
he did the same.


Regards,


Yance

I infer you are trying to set up other machines (or a local jail?) on something
like 192.168.64.8 or .4 which are trying to ARP for their router.  It doesn't
make sense to do ARP over the loopback, and anyway, a real NIC and the loopback
use different framing types.  What happens if you change:

>  ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 192.168.64.9/32"

...and so forth to:

>  ifconfig_fxp1_alias0="inet 192.168.64.9/32"

...?

Oh, yes, and this does not make sense, either:

>  ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 192.168.64.10/32"

...and people put their internal 192.168 subnet as a /24:

>  ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.64.11/32"

Most unusual.  People normally only need to use IP aliases when your renumber an
existing system and some other machine which can't be changed easily still needs
to talk to that host using the old IP, or if you need to host multiple instances
of something like an SSL-based webserver which demand a separate IP for each
site due to the protocol limitations.

If you have two NICs, they should be on separate subnets, in separate collision
domains, unless you are doing channel bonding/CARP/FEC, in which case they must
be specially configured for that purpose (and therefore would be on the same
subnet only).

GCC 4.X

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.
This maybe a OT questions here, but I would like to know whether there
are plans to make gcc 4.X the standard compiler for FreeBSD and in case
of a positive answere, when this will be the case. I read about some
problems in recoding parts of the OS, but as I use FreeBSd in a
scientific environment I would welcome a 'out of the box' compiler
solution for our environment and not using a port.

Yup, and my plan is to slice the card, do a dd dump of a bootable OS to
one partition, and then do a dd dump of another bootable OS to the other
partions.

I'm even planning to netboot grub for this box so I can control which OS
boots without writing to the card.

That's the way they are set up - I even think the normal OS on that
copies things like root's homedir to a memory filesystem during the boot
and then mounts that somewhere for "live" use just to avoid writing to
the drive.  My goal is to have the CF disk be used in case I cannot do a
netboot.

arp_rtrequest: bad gateway (!AF_LINK)

[Harlan Stenn]

(Please Cc: me on any replies.)

I've got a machine where I want to do some IP aliases.

Here's an example of some stuff in /etc/rc.conf:

 ifconfig_fxp0="inet 66.220.13.226/28 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 192.168.64.10/32"
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 66.220.13.227/32"
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet 66.220.13.230/32"
 ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.64.11/32"
 ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 192.168.64.9/32"
 ifconfig_lo0_alias1="inet 192.168.65.3/32"
 ifconfig_lo0_alias2="inet 192.168.65.5/32"

The problem is that I'm seeing the following lines repeated in my syslog:

 arp_rtrequest: bad gateway 192.168.64.10 (!AF_LINK)
 arp_rtrequest: bad gateway 66.220.13.227 (!AF_LINK)

This is on a 5-STABLE machine.

All of the other aliased IPs work great.

Suggestions?

Hmm.  You are perhaps not aware that flash memory can only do a relatively
limited number of writes before failing (10K to perhaps 50K, if you've got a
fancy CF card with write leveling and/or spare sectors)...?

Installing and updating multiple operating systems is contraindicated on such
hardware not because it is not possible to do, but because the CF won't last
very long under such a usage profile.

You should configure a CF-based system to operate with the filesystems mounted
read-only most of the time, or at least turn off updating atime information.

Signal 6 means an illegal instruction, either something compiled for the wrong
CPU type or architecture, or a severe hardware failure like bad RAM has
corrupted the in-memory version.

What does:

   file /bin/csh
   ls -l /bin/csh

...say?

Also, a "uname -a" would be the minimal information needed.  Relatively few
people on this list have mastered telepathy, so you do need to tell us which
version of FreeBSD you have.  :)  A dmesg or a short description of your
hardware might be useful, also.

Hope this helps,

Re: Ask for your recommended system & network monitoring system.

[Vaaf]

There are many of 'em, for example I am using:

net-mgmt/nagios - http://www.nagios.org
sysutils/munin-main (server)- http://munin.projects.linpro.no/
sysutils/munin-node (remote agent)

Also I am going to look into zabbix (http://www.zabbix.org/) which 
is bit older in ports (net-mgmt/zabbix for main, net/zabbix-agent 
for remote agents), but you can try version from their webpage.


Also there is nice piece called monit 
(http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/) which can also proactively take 
some actions based on current status, so it can avoid few incidents.


Email notification and alerts are quite standard in all those examples.
