Yes, same here.

Following gives the impression that serverSuggestsSave() function is
totally missing from the source of kdebase3 ...

  cd $PORTSDIR/x11/kdebase3
  make -V WRKSRC \
  | xargs -I % find % -type f \
  | xargs fgrep serverSuggestsSave
  $WRKSRC/konqueror/konq_run.cc:  if ( serverSuggestsSave() )
  $WRKSRC/konqueror/konq_run.cc:if (!m_bFinished && !tryEmbed) // Open 
selected for a serverSuggestsSave() file
  $WRKSRC/konqueror/konq_mainwindow.cc:  attachment = 
(run->serverSuggestsSave()) ? KParts::BrowserRun::AttachmentDisposition : 
KParts::BrowserRun::InlineDisposition;


... unless that function is supposed to be defined (& available)
outside of kdebase source.

did you apply this for host + all jails ? restarted all the postfix-es

see here more info about the inet_interfaces option :

Postfix: unable to deliver this message after 4 days

[Vaaf]

Hello!

I would appreciate help from kind people.

In return I can design beautiful things for you :)

Anyway ...

Trying to make an addition to my existing setup on myrealdomain.com,
specifically for virtual domains, in this case lalaladomain.com.

Existing setup works. Virtual setup doesn't.

The virtual domain's MX record has been pointed to myrealdomain.com's IP.

FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE + postfix-2.1.6,1 + mysql-5.0.16

I can telnet localhost 25, no problems there.

When I try to send e-mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I get:

Reason: unable to deliver this message after 4 days

Re: ipnat syntax error?

/etc/ipnat.rules contains:

I tried your suggestion of using the cidr notation format and that work; 
thank you!


However I am concerned about overlapping mappings in the cidr range with 
host-to-host maps - my cidr range is a /28, for example,
and I want to map (spoof) some IP address in the middle to, say the web 
or mail servers.  In order to avoid the overlap I was counting on the 
"range" specification on the map command.


Well, my suggestion is not to exhaust your precious /28 address space 
right away. And don't make your life unnecessary difficult, why choose 
the addreses in the middle for bimap?



Rather than using all your external ip's right away I would save some 
for later expansion, and reserve one for debugging. You may need to 
connect a laptop on the external net to figure out what's going on. You 
could do this: x.x.x.0/29 to servers (bimap), x.x.x.8/30 debug and 
future expansion (not mapped), x.x.x.12/30 map for lan clients.


If you stick to cidr you can also write your filter rules in cidr making 
it far easier to read an maintain.


For the mapping, and bimapping consider this:

The /24 network you want to map, it contains at most 254 hosts. If you 
map that network to a single ip, then each host can establish at least 
256 simultaneous connections. My experience is that this is far mor than 
needed in most normal operating environments. I'd suggest using the same 
ip as on the firewall external interface.


If the purpose of binatting is to make one service available, http say, 
then you may consider using rdr. IIRC you can also use rdr to round 
robin load balancing incoming connections.


That way you can have one host serving http and another serving smtp on 
the same external ip. The only reason to use different ip's is if you're 
hosting a number of https servers, each need a different ip.


There's no point in bimapping all ports on a external ip to one single 
internal ip if most of them are blocked by the filter.


Cheers, Erik

Re: vsftpd pam problem

[Bernd Trippel]

Quoting Terry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi going by the docs for virtual users i have got to this file vsftpd.pam

auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login

From google i gather pam_userdb.so isn't part of OpenPAM which is 
what FreeBSD uses. So how do Freebsd users get round it or am i 
missing some thing really silly.



In my understanding this is correct. There's no pam_userdb.so available for
FreeBSD.
You could use pam_pwdfile.so, which is in the ports-collection. Users are
added/changed e.g. through htpasswd. Works well if you have not a lot of
accounts.

a simple vsftpd.pam could look like this:
auth   required/usr/local/lib/pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/vsftpd_login
account  required/usr/lib/pam_permit.so



Thanks

There are many different ways to accomplish that feat. To update Samba
plus all of its prerequisites, etc., first update your ports
collection. If you need help with that task, just ask.

Next, install portmanager '/usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager' and then run
it as follows (as root obviously):

portmanager net/samba3 -l -f

That should take care of your problems as well as creating a log file
in '/var/log' that you can inspect later if you so desire. You could
omit the 'f' switch if you desire. It forces all of the dependencies to
be rebuilt if required.

You might also want to consider just using this syntax:

portmanager -u -l -y -f

It will update all installed ports on your system in the correct order
and with the proper dependencies.

HTH

Put up a packet filter.  With IPFW you could do:

ipfw add reject tcp from any to me setup

They could then start all the listening daemons they wanted, but the
kernel would prevent any of them from ever getting a connection.  For
UDP, something like this should work:

ipfw add pass udp from me to any keep-state
ipfw add reject udp from any to me

... which would allow connections to be initiated from the machine, but
not to the machine.

Are you absolutely sure you installed it correctly and are typing the 
command correctly? Perhaps you might have to do 'rehash' or some such 
command before it is recognized. I use 'bash' myself, so I am not 
really sure. Did you by chance try a reboot of the system and then try 
running portmanager?

Try typing

portmanager --help

and see what transpires. If that also fails, venture over to /var/db/pkg 
and see if there is a listing for: portmanager-0.4.1_5 . If there is, 
do:

pkg_delete -dvf portmanager-0.4.1_5

Now do a new installation of 'portmanager'. If that also fails, then you 
will need the assistance of someone with a better knowledge of FreeBSD 
then I.

ISO Image for FreeBSD5.4 that is Current

[Martin McCormick]

The FreeBSD site has an installation ISO image for FreeBSD5.4
but it is dated last May.  There have been several core security
updates since then.  should I be looking in a different place to find
a stable 5.x ISO image that is current?

Thank you very much.

Passing options to Newfs in the FreeBSD installer

[valentin_nils]

Hello FreeBSD Fans ;-),

I have a probably simple question,which kept me busy for several days by now.
I have a few years experience with Linux and would like to extend my knowledge
now to the BSD*s.

Hopefully my question is not too stupid so that somebody can point me into the
correct direction. Anyway here we go...

During the FreeBSD installation I would like to pass parameters to the programm
which creates the filesystem *newfs if I understand that correctly.

I would like to pass the following options: nosuid, noexec, userquota &
groupquota to some partitions.

Whatever I do - even when I want to pass only a single option - I get as a error
message "Invalid argument"

1) Are the above options "nosuid, noexec, userquota, groupquota" valid options
to be passed to the installer programme newfs or do I have some misspells here
?

2) How would I separate several options in the installers input screen after
pressing "G", by komma (,) by semicolon (;) or just by space ( ) ?

I did search the mailing lists up and down and consulted my book from Michael
Lucas and googled, but somehow I didnt find the answer.

I would appreciate any replies.

Best regards

Nils Valentin

The  downside of it is that i have add all the protocols like ssh in

Is there a way only for root user to listen on a port.

I do not know of anyone who makes .isos of patch releases available.  It
would be a nice contribution to the community if someone had the time and
bandwidth to do it.

jdk15 on 6.0

[james g.]

FreeBSD Land:

I've seen this question asked on this very list, and once or twice on  
the web, but have yet to find a solution.


I'm attempting to compile jdk15 on an older machine, and at first  
attempted it on a 4.11 install. The failures there encouraged me to  
finally upgrade the machine to 6.0.


So now, I have a fully patched, fresh 6.0 installation. The machine  
has 128MB physical ram, and I doubled the default swap space. When I  
continued to run into memory errors while attempting to compile the  
jdk, I added an additional swap file of 512MB. Even with all this  
additional swap space, I'm getting the following compilation error  
every time:


`/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/ 
bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg'
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/ 
build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg'

Compiling ../generated/adfiles/ad_i486.cpp
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
gmake[3]: *** [ad_i486.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/ 
bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg'

gmake[2]: *** [the_vm] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/ 
bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg'

gmake[1]: *** [jvmg] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/ 
bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp'

gmake: *** [jvmg] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.


Does jdk15 really require more swapspace? I don't making the  
additional swap file larger, but pushing 1GB of swap already is  
leading me to believe there is another cause.


Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'd really like to get jdk15  
installed and running on this specific machine, despite it's age.


Cheers,
James

Putting up a packet filter as some suggest may break other things.

Instead, you can take a look at MAC, Mandatory Access Controls. There is 
a module mac_portacl(4) that can control this.


You need to compile your kernel with options MAC and then add 
mac_portacl_load="YES" to loader.conf


But don't ask me how it works, haven't used it.

Those are not options that can be passed to newfs or used when creating the
filesystem.  They are options for mount(8) and can be put in /etc/fstab to
be used when you are mounting the filesystem. (See the mount(8) and fstab(5)
manpages.)

Assuming that you are still talking about options to newfs, you write the
options exactly as you would do on the command line.
(See the newfs(8) manpage for available options.)

(If you do not have a FreeBSD system available with manpages installed, they
can also be found at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi )

Thanks.

I was kinda thinking that might be the case. Space isn't an issue (it's a
120GB drive) this is mostly a testing/learning server at home - runs squid
and dns cache for home use (my other half does a lot of auto-surfing to try
and make a few bucks) and apache/mysql for testing web devel.

The files that showed up as i/o errors are all in /usr/ports so no probs
there, I should be able to copy across what is readable to another drive
without any problems or real loss and worthwhile data there is easy to
replace. 

I am fairly new to *nix and was looking to see if I could learn more
disaster recovery - thought there might be a chance that it was just bad
sectors that weren't getting mapped out automagicaly and I could learn to
fix it manually without reformatting. Now I know that if I see it happen
again I should just replace the disk as soon as I can.

RHE has its ways, fbsd has others. it's not that hard to carry over
really...you can make an simple  cheatsheet for your engineeres.
 



Or, see below.


IMHO, it's quite simple in Freebsd:
- if service is part of the base os, script is located in /etc/rc.d
- if service is something you have installed, it's located
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Likewise, configuration for base services go in /etc, configuration for
ports goes in /usr/local/etc/

( If you can't tell what is part of the base OS or what is added...you
may have other issues at hand :) )

Since you don't have the SysV style scripts in BSD, what gets run
(base-system or added-from-ports) is defined in /etc/rc.conf (default
options for base services are in /etc/defaults/rc.conf . options for
services from ports are usually in the port documentation or the
startup script)

Regardless of this, scripts in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
take the same params as RHE : start, stop, restart, status (+ custom
ones in some services/ports).

so 'service network restart' = /etc/rc.d/netif restart
 



Very good --- and, to ease transition:

echo "alias 'service network restart' echo 'Did you mean 
/etc/rc.d/netif restart?' " >> ~/.cshrc


Of course, two issues: shell globbing and the fact that they'll be expecting
bash.  Probably the former is of more consequence, as neither sh/bash
nor csh/tcsh seem to want to accept spaces in commands.  Bash is available
in ports, so using it for wheel level accounts should be fine; the OP should
be cautioned about replacing root's shell, though (Bad Idea(tm), AFAIK).

Nonetheless, it might be a good idea to hack together some kind of
reminder script for some of the RH commands; note, as a somewhat
related example, how many FTPD's accept both "ls" and "dir"  You
could (and I have, before) alias "RHcommand"  "FBSDequivalent", but
that ends up not teaching anybody anything, and adds a layer of murk
between the user and the OS; a layer that is not needed and detrimental
for the most part.

Shouldn't take any major corporate effort, and could be quite helpful.

AFAICT yes, it is possible that 1Gb (try 2Gb to be sure) swap
will solve it. I can start trying to imagine how long it would take
to compile jdk15, though. And even if you do succeed, an
average java application can take about 100Mb of RAM
right from the start. So you should really choose between a
newer box and a sensible programming language.

I'm attempting to compile jdk15 on an older machine, and at first

finally upgrade the machine to 6.0.

So now, I have a fully patched, fresh 6.0 installation. The machine
has 128MB physical ram, and I doubled the default swap space. When I
continued to run into memory errors while attempting to compile the
jdk, I added an additional swap file of 512MB. Even with all this

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.


Does jdk15 really require more swapspace? I don't making the
additional swap file larger, but pushing 1GB of swap already is
leading me to believe there is another cause.

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'd really like to get jdk15
installed and running on this specific machine, despite it's age.

Cheers,

AFAICT yes, it is possible that 1Gb (try 2Gb to be sure) swap
will solve it. I can start trying to imagine how long it would take

Thanks for the tip. I upped the additional swapfile size to 2GB and  
tried again, with the same results.


Granted I understand that expecting so much from this little machine  
is really pushing it, it will eventually just be running a small java- 
based server, that unfortunately requires jdk15. I wouldn't ever  
choose it on purpose.


With a total swap size of roughly 2.5GB still generating failures, is  
this a lost cause, or should I be looking for additional solutions?

hunting for secure fileserver-connection!

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mgEDV.net]

hi 2 all gurus!

the scenario:
- freebsd-fileserver with encrypted HDD's (GELI) (1.5TB)
- windows (sorry for that, it's a requirement) as client

the quest:
- securely mount shared filesystems from the server from
  the windows client w/o being open to sniffers/network
  hacks (non-weak encryption required)
- files should be accessible like with windows-fileserver
  shares through UNC and/or drive-name(s)
- server and clients should share the same network. (no
  tunnelling etc...)
- authentication should be done against local defined users

what we don't want:
- VPN/IPSEC/... between the hosts
- webdav

we've been looking on solutions like secure nfs over tcp,
samba, etc... but except making it slower, there have been
no real good solutions until yet.

anybody out there, who has a good advice on that?

br & cu...

ps: i know it's crazy, but it should be possible, nope?

Hmm. I successfully compiled jdk15 with 256 MB RAM and 1 GB swap on an
i386 machine. I suspect some other problem with your system. I can offer
no speculation to the nature of your problem though.

It's not that I'm disinterested, but it's really hard to imagine what
kind of kernel bug could cause your system to power off in this way.

Are any of these applications Linux binaries?  The Linux halt syscall
maps to some other common syscall in FreeBSD, so if a Linux binary is
incorrectly branded as a FreeBSD binary it can shut down the system
when run.

That's the only thing I can think of.

You could always just to do a "make package" on another machine with 
6.0 and then just pkg_add on your older system.

Ok, so the machines hard lock and require power cycling them?  I'd 
advise throwing in a firewire card into one of these systems and 
setup remote debugging.  There should be some info on the web for 
getting this setup.  With the firewire debugging you should be able 
to access the systems memory space remotely even if there is a hard 
lock and the OS is not responding.  I haven't setup this last part 
myself, but I'm pretty sure I read it was possible.

It's not clear what he means by "hard crash", but he also says "and
power off", which is the part that is most confusing to me.

ACER 1644 acpio errors

Hi I'm trying to setup freebsd 6.1 beta on an ACER 1644 laptop. I have 
managed to get wireless going and by following the recipe at 
http://www.mguillaud.net/acer1641/ have removed an acpi problem related

Hmmm...I missed that part.  Yeah, if it powers off then I'm not sure 
what you can do to debug it.

About all I can think of is to try to reproduce the problem with
enough logging enabled (e.g. running the binary under ktrace), with
sync-mounted filesystem, and hope that the last few entries give the
software developer enough of a clue what the process was doing at the
time of shutdown (the operation itself probably will not be logged)
that he can focus the investigation further.

reconfiguring a package

[Luiz Eduardo Guida Valmont]

I'm sorry if this is one of those rtfm cases, but I've exhausted my options
so far (except asking for help here ^^).

When you "make install" a package, for some the first thing you get is a
screen where you choose some compile-time options that affect the package's
dependancies (eg. "postgresql support" when trying to install amarok). The
question is simple: is there a way or a make target that deletes my choices
and / or forces make to ask them again?

I tryed selecting everything for amarok and now both krb5 and heimdal are
indirect dependancies. That wouldn't pose a problem if they did not
conflict, but unfortunately they do.

Any help is appreciated...

using pf, this is astoundingly easy, see eg

http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/bruteforce.html

If you go down this route, you might want to use expiretable
(/usr/ports/security/expiretable) to trim the contents of the table
after a while (I tend to use 24 hours expiry).

If you don't trust CIFS/Samba enough to be secure against local sniffers, and
you won't run IPsec, you're left with odd things like Sun's SecureNFS software,
only I doubt that's available for a FreeBSD fileserver.

If you've got 1.5TB of storage, perhaps you should talk to Auspex or NetApp and
see what the NAS folk have to offer...

'make config' should do the trick.  This (as well as many other make
targets) are described in the ports(7) manpage.

Of course if you already have installed the port you will have to delete
and reinstall it to have it actually use the new settings.

Re: reconfiguring a package

When you "make install" a package, for some the first thing you get is a
screen where you choose some compile-time options that affect the package's
dependancies (eg. "postgresql support" when trying to install amarok). The
question is simple: is there a way or a make target that deletes my choices
and / or forces make to ask them again?


Use the make target, 'config', eg:

   # make config install clean

should do. Alternatively, you can simply delete the config from 
/var/db/ports/ that will clear any previous choices.

phpmyadmin and Access denied

[Reinhold Platzoeder]

Hi

I have a weird problem here

I have installed phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.2 from port

Apache version = apache-2.2.0_7
PHP version = php5-5.1.2_1
MySQL version = mysql-server-5.0.19


When I go to the index page I get the following error

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I have configured the config.inc.php file and this is whats in it

> cat config.inc.php
http://www.violetlan.net/phpmyadmin/';

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'whatever';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']  = 'localhost';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']  = 'root';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']  = '';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type']  = 'socket';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']= '/tmp/mysql.sock';

?>

Now the funny thing is that when I change the root password to having no
password I can get into phpmyadmin

Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Thanks

Try generating your config.inc.php from 
http://www.violetlan.net/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php

instead of making one. I had the same problem after an update from 2.7 to 2.8 
and this fixed it.

Run "mysql -u root" at the system's CLI, and you should get a clue.

My guess is that phpadmin is attempting to use "root" and "" as
its account name and pw for a MySQL login, and you have a password
for the root account other than "" (much as it should be).  Hence, when
you make the SQL root password into , it works   


HTH,

The proper way is to use 'make rmconfig'. Can also be done recursively.

Make this change:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';

I have that in my config file with a blank password field. It works 
fine.

FreeBSD 6-STABLE: Apache 2.2 and php 4.4 segmentation fault

[Andrew Reitz]

Hello,

I am a long time FreeBSD user of FreeBSD 4.x and Apache 1.3.x. I have  
decided to "get with the times", and upgrade to FreeBSD 6 and  
Apache2. So far, my experience with FreeBSD 6 has been great, but I  
appear to have bumped into a problem with running Apache 2 and php4  
together. By itself, Apache is working fine spitting out static  
pages. However, whenever I try to load a page that needs to go  
through the PHP interpreter, I get a segmentation fault:


nr:/usr/local/etc# tail /var/log/httpd-error.log

consider to be definitive. And of course, while I installed  
everything from ports, I don't remember which knobs I twisted when  
installing. :)


Can anyone supply any hints as to how I can get more debugging  
information (I don't see any core files anywhere), and/or how I can  
fix this problem?


Thanks much in advance,

Re: Passing options to Newfs in the FreeBSD installer

[valentin_nils]

Hi Erik,

I just wanted to say thank you for pointing me into the right direction.

Turns out, I had a somewhat skewed understanding what "newfs" is for. I
understand now that those options noexec and nosuid are to be passed to the
mount command and the quota options must be enabled in the kernel first.


Thank you also especially for the online man page link. That defintely 
helped a

lot as my installation always fell (understandably ;-)

Best regards

Hello FreeBSD Fans ;-),

I have a probably simple question,which kept me busy for several 
days by now.
I have a few years experience with Linux and would like to extend my 
knowledge

now to the BSD*s.

Hopefully my question is not too stupid so that somebody can point 
me into the

correct direction. Anyway here we go...

During the FreeBSD installation I would like to pass parameters to 
the programm

which creates the filesystem *newfs if I understand that correctly.

I would like to pass the following options: nosuid, noexec, userquota &
groupquota to some partitions.

Whatever I do - even when I want to pass only a single option - I 
get as a error

message "Invalid argument"

1) Are the above options "nosuid, noexec, userquota, groupquota" 
valid options
to be passed to the installer programme newfs or do I have some 
misspells here

?


Those are not options that can be passed to newfs or used when creating the
filesystem.  They are options for mount(8) and can be put in /etc/fstab to
be used when you are mounting the filesystem. (See the mount(8) and fstab(5)
manpages.)




2) How would I separate several options in the installers input screen after
pressing "G", by komma (,) by semicolon (;) or just by space ( ) ?


Assuming that you are still talking about options to newfs, you write the
options exactly as you would do on the command line.
(See the newfs(8) manpage for available options.)

(If you do not have a FreeBSD system available with manpages installed, they
can also be found at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi )



I did search the mailing lists up and down and consulted my book 
from Michael

Lucas and googled, but somehow I didnt find the answer.

I would appreciate any replies.

Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition

[valentin_nils]

Hello FreeBSD Fans,

I wanted to create a new system and was thinking about the following layout.

Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system
100M /boot /dev/ad2s1a UFS2+S
1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP
15GB / /dev/ad2s1c UFS2

I want to put /boot on its own partition, but somehow I dont have a lot of luck.
I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot.


No /boot/loader
...
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
No /boot/kernel/kernel
...

1) I wouldnt mind on which partition "/boot" or "/" sits or what its named, but
I would like to separate "/boot" on a different partition and it seems like it
wouldnt boot when I do this. Is this just a matter of updating the bootloader ?
Wouldnt the installer do that automatically ?

2) The part which I dont get is why is "/" always ad2s1a - even when I create
"/boot" first ? ("/boot" will become f.e. ad2s1d) and SWAP will become ad2s1b.

So what I end up with is something like

Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system
15GB / /dev/ad2s1a UFS2
1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP
100M /boot /dev/ad2s1d UFS2+S


Any replies much appreciated.

 Something doesn't seem right with those ports.
  When I have setup a server I use php4-4.4.2_1,  mysql-server-4.1.18_2,
php4-extensions-1.0 and apache.

  I think php4-4.4.2_1 and  php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 will cause a conflict.

 Some correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Because it instinctively (without the MBR boot manager)
looks for /boot/kernel/kernel in the first partition of the
first active slice on the first drive.

That's a sysinstall thing.  If you were to muck about
and install your base system without sysinstall you
could place it wherever.  And it probably still won't
boot.

Part of the reason linux wants to make /boot its
own partition is their ugly habit of not seperating
anything else from root.

Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition

[valentin_nils]

Hello,




Because it instinctively (without the MBR boot manager)
looks for /boot/kernel/kernel in the first partition of the
first active slice on the first drive.


But I have choosen to install the Boot loader. ;-o



...

1) I wouldnt mind on which partition "/boot" or "/" sits or what its 
named, but

I would like to separate "/boot" on a different partition


Why you would want to do this is a bit unclear.


I would like to use different mount option later on each partitions - just for
the fun of it ;-). That wouldnt be possible if all is on one partititon. Would
that make any sense ?







That's a sysinstall thing.  If you were to muck about
and install your base system without sysinstall you
could place it wherever.  And it probably still won't
boot.


So whats the solution to this ??? Not installing FreeBSD ? Develop my own Boot
loader ?



Part of the reason linux wants to make /boot its
own partition is their ugly habit of not seperating
anything else from root.



I decide not to comment on this anymore. I didnt came here to start a 
flame war

of the OS's. Let's not go down that road (most come back uglier than before),
lets focus on the technical issue instead.

Ni RJ,

I certainly hope that these two ports aren't in conflict -- because  
they are listed together as dependencies on 56 ports (according to my  
'/usr/ports/INDEX-6' file). It looks like I got the php4-mysql  
package when I installed phpMyAdmin (which is how I noticed that PHP  
wasn't working, btw). Here is the relevant line from my INDEX-6 file:

I would tend to trust the dependency list contained in the port, but  
I'm willing to try uninstalling the php4-mysql package if you think  
it will help.


Thanks,

Don't do that.  You can not have /boot as a separate partition.  It just
contains the kernel and the loader.  The other things that are needed for
booting (like /bin/sh or /sbin/mount) reside elsewhere.  (Having /boot as a
separate partition is apparently some Linux-specific convention.)

What is normally done under FreeBSD when you want a small boot partition is
to create /usr and /var as separate partitions which will let you create a
small (100M) '/' partition.  (You will probably also want either a separate
/home partition for user home directories, or let them reside under
/usr/home.  (I think the latter is the default, but I am not 100% sure.)

You need to boot from "/" and it should be partition 'a' on the slice.  It
is probably possible to change this, but it would be much more pain and
trouble than it is worth.

How to recover /usr and /home directory

[Edwin D. Vinas]

Hi,

I have a previous 40GB HDD which crashed during power outage and now no
longer repairable. Before I installed a new HDD, I can still see the
contents of that defective hard disk when booting from a single user mode.
Now, I set it up as slave and installed a new FreeBSD on the new master HDD.
But then, when I mounted the old hard disk, I can no longer see any content
in my /usr and /home directories. These directories are the ones with "hard
error reading" blocks which made FreeBSD not to continue booting due to
unending and irrepariable fsck commands on this filesystem. All my website
files and programs are on that old HDD especially in the /usr directory.
Does the new setup master/slave have somehow caused those files hidden? How
do I mount even the fragmented blocks? Any suggestion on how I can recover
my files? Why is FreeBSD so susceptible to fragmentations when suddenly
turned off or when there is a power outage?

This is what I don't like with FreeBSD; it does not care too much on data!
Even the fsck doesn't tell you that the hard disk is no longer usable as it
will still prompt you to do fsck over and over again. And now, my /usr and
/home suddenly disappeared when mounted. I can still see these two
directories last week but now it seems they're gone.


Thanks.
Edwin

If the old disk gave you access to data when booted in single user,
why not keep it master, put the new disk in slave, boot single user,
mount what you need and copy the information?

Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition

[valentin_nils]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply.  I have now a better understanding whats possible with
FreeBSD. One question (last one) which I could not find an answer to in the
online manual is :

How would you do a Dual or multi OS boot machine f.e. with Windows on 
the first

disk, first slice, first partition and FreeBSD on another partition ?

Would I need a boot floppy or perhaps its not possible at all ?

Best regards

The FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/  might also
prove helpful.

watch(8), xwatchwin as courseware [solved by script/tail]

[Andrew Pantyukhin]

Hi. I have to teach no-frills freebsd courses. I wonder how
I can arrange all the students seeing on their displays what
I'm typing in my xterm in real-time. I haven't been very
successful with xwatchwin (I've been able to see it in action
but it wasn't very pleasant, and it dumps core on me lately).

watch(1) seems to be ideal for my purposes - students log
on to my box (maybe even gain root privileges if I don't
tweak devfs) and watch my pty. They can even copy and
paste what I'm typing in their xterms. But there's a show-
stopper: it seems that only one snp(4) device can attach to
a tty at the same time and only one watch(1) can use a
snp(4) at the same time.

So what do you suggest?

Hmm... Just as I was typing this I saw a simple solution. I
can use script(1) dumping to a file with -t0 (flush on every
char) and people can just tail -f this file. Performance is
great on a local machine, but is very laggy over NFS... I
tried 'mount -o acregmin=0,acregmax=0' and the
perfomance is almost real-time now.

Great :-) It really is true that many solutions come just as
soon as you try to describe your problem clearly :-)

What format (e.g. mbox, maildir) are the archives in?

Another potential solution is to use VNC - assuming your students  
have graphical displays. I'm pretty sure that multiple VNC viewers  
(clients) can connect to one VNC server, in watch-only mode.

Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply.  I have now a better understanding whats  
possible with
FreeBSD. One question (last one) which I could not find an answer  
to in the

online manual is :

How would you do a Dual or multi OS boot machine f.e. with Windows  
on the first

disk, first slice, first partition and FreeBSD on another partition ?

Would I need a boot floppy or perhaps its not possible at all ?


Hi Valentin,

Dual booting FreeBSD along with other Operating Systems is definitely  
possible. And you're right, I couldn't find any reference to how this  
can be done in the Handbook either. :)


Basically, it is my understanding that you will want to add a  
dedicated FreeBSD partition to your disk, and configure the slices  
within that partition as you have learned previously. In terms of how  
to boot, while you can use a floppy, there are many boot managers,  
that once configured, are more convenient to use than floppies.


I did a quick google, and found a guide that seems to cover this  
topic in some depth:

Good luck,
-Andy Reitz.
