I would suggest that it's more appropriate to use the x11/nvidia-driver port, e.g.: cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver sudo make install clean Then set your tunables (i.e hw.nvidia.registry.SoftEDIDs and hw.nvidia.registry.Mobile) via '/etc/sysctl.conf'. Finally, you would apply the changes to xorg.conf as you recommend. The nvidia readme file for their freebsd driver mentions this in the section titled 'CONFIGURING LOW-LEVEL PARAMETERS'. Regardless, using ports to install things and sysctl.conf to control the low-level parameters is more traditional.

It will port forwards to current fairly easily, and will port to i386 trivially. The code would be simpler on i386 because direct map data doesn't exist there. But on the other hand, i386 has to deal with PAE mode and the dump code would be significantly impacted by PAE mode Changes are mostly in sys/amd64/amd64/dump_machdep.c (a rewrite actually), an 8 line addition to sys/vm/vm_page.c and some trivial patches to some other MD pmap files. libkvm is affected as a complete rewrite of lib/libkvm/kvm_amd64.c. (Porting libkvm changes to i386 will be easy and relatively immune to PAE kernel effects). > Do you compress the data stream at all (e.g. gzip)? No, but it could be done in theory.. if you were willing to set aside some memory for the compression algorithm to use. Or just do some sort of simple compression (run length encoding?) The problem is that the dump code cannot allocate memory after the machine has crashed. It has to be able to run as isolated from the rest of the kernel as possible in order to give a true snapshot of the undisturbed state. > I have a specific need on a CompactFlash based system. > I have a 256MB IDE mode card on a machine with 512MB > physical memory. I can probably commit 128MB of the > card as a dumpdev but I can't go beyond that. I truely do not know what to expect. Without compression, check the difference between sysctl vm.kvm_free and vm.kvm_size to know how much an uncompressed minidump would take. I don't recall if those are on 5.4 or not (the code for those sysctl's would backport from pmap.c really easily). > Good luck with it. > > Regards, > Paul. -Peter ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is why each FreeBSD release is associated with at least: * A "frozen" tag, like RELENG_6_0_RELEASE * A security branch, like RELENG_6_0 * A stable branch, like RELENG_6 Changes go very fast in the CURRENT FreeBSD branch. After they settle in for a while, soem of them are backported to the RELENG_X branch. The RELENG_X branch changes much slower than the experimental, CURRENT branch, but it does change every time a new feature is backported to RELENG_X. Then, when security fixes are made available, they are added both to the RELENG_X branch and the RELENG_X_Y security branches. If all you want is the "frozen" release sources plus changes that are really really necessary, because they fix a serious security bug, you probably want RELENG_X_Y (RELENG_6_0 in this case). Regards, Giorgos thank you kindly for your reply, that was quite informative. ive actually read the document on the differences between the stable, current, and release (or whatever), and find that system quite confusing for the moment. im sure ill grasp the method of the madness eventually. i guess what confuses me, is that i read about those, and then try to find them on the ftp sites. i assume, that only release is made into a .iso file? and to move to a higher version (either the security RELENG_6_0 or stable RELENG_6), you do this thru the cvsup tool. so, by your descriptions and reply to my previous comments, my system that is running what says 6.1-PRERELEASE is really RELENG_6 (stable) ? thanks, Jonathan Horne Yes, and furthermore it's a RELENG_6 dated at the exact time of your last cvsup/build cycle. The CVS system allows you to check out source code from any time in the history of the Project's development (and it would do this for any project that had started out using CVS and continued to do so consistently, like FreeBSD has). Leading source code committers are typically always working on the Next Big Thing(tm), which is known as -HEAD in CVS, and often called (and officially, even, called) -CURRENT in FreeBSD. Most users, though, are using the Last Big Thing(tm), known as -STABLE. In -CURRENT, I assume, the committers are doing wacko stuff to try and make FreeBSD into a new version of the Six Million Dollar Man, so once in a while, -CURRENT won't compile, because someone was typing whilst they should be sleeping, and made a mistake, or, something else happens. In -STABLE, they don't try much "new" stuff, just fixing bugs, or, as Giorgos pointed out, taking things that have proven themselves in CURRENT, things that users are clamoring for (sometimes) and "back porting" them to the older branch. 1.X > 2.X --> 3.X -> 4.X ---> 5.X ---> 6.X -> 7.X -> So, back in 1993, users were using 1.0, and the developers were working furiously to prepare the "next version", which came to be 2.0. During this time, 1.1, 1.1.5, and 1.1.5.1 were released for general use, and, spurred on by daemons the likes of which New Jersey has ever known, the developers readied 2.0. Once 2.0 was released, these crazy developers moved immediately to the "ng", and 2.x became the "STABLE" branch, the maintenance branch, the code that users were using to build the WWW, as 'twere; somebody can remind me, I guess --- the world record FTP server was a 2.X machine, right? (Gee, am I too lazy to Google, now?) So, at that time, 3.X became -CURRENT, and 2.X became -STABLE, and 1.X began to go the way of the dinosaur. This cycle repeats itself each time a "really new" or "major release" occurs; ATM there are, actually, two elder STABLES hanging about, besides 6-STABLE (5-STABLE and 4-STABLE are still supported, to some extent). At the present time the HEAD or CURRENT stream is the "7" series; it's possible that some dreamer is envisioning what "8" might look like, but I kinda doubt it, since there's plenty of work to do on 7-CURRENT, and keeping 6-STABLE going, and patching any security issues in 5.X, 4.X, etc Incidentally, but perhaps of value: regarding the RELEASE tag, these are simply "cuts" from the -STABLE line that are polished up (by going into a "code freeze" during which only critical bug fixes are committed to -STABLE) and then running the relea

But since I am an FreeBSD user, that part will be covered more than the others. Exactly how all things will be, I really don't know yet. The project was born 2 weeks ago... So, a question. Is it ok if I use the handbook to create different articles? I might create a Swedish Handbook later on, but i want to begin with smaller articles to get all things on its way... I have been an ambassador for Fedora Core for a while now, but since I am not using Fedora anymore I am currently looking for other things to be involved in. I maybe should stick to my project but i want to offer my services to the FreeBSD project. If you have any need for a person like me, to work with promoting FreeBSD, and other stuff.

[Solved] Official Nvidia Drivers, Toshiba Laptop, GeForce 4 440 Cards: Always causes Freeze
I have finally come up with a way to use the official drivers from nvidia on Toshiba notebooks with a GeForce4 440 Go (and similar) video card. Normally, using either linux or freebsd and the drivers from nvidia (instead of the default nv driver) would result in a hard freeze as soon as X was started. I gave up trying to fix it, but then came across a solution for Linux last night, which I used as a basis for this FreeBSD solution... First of all, much credit goes to [1]this [2]information from the Ubuntu Document Storage Facility (check out "Problem 8" at the bottom). Here's how I applied the same modifications to a FreeBSD system: The first step under Linux was to change some options in the nvidia kernel, which was done in Linux under /etc/modprobe.conf (or /etc/modprobe.d). FreeBSD doesn't use modprobe, which I believe is used for the loading of a kernel module. Instead, we can modify the option in the source for nvidia's drivers, and then compile the nvidia kernel module with this already set the way we want: 1. First, download the [3]latest[4] nvidia source here. Extract (tar zxvf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-8178.tar.gz) and move into the newly created directory. 2. Edit /src/nvidia_os_registry.c using your fav text editor: Change the values of the following variables: - NVreg_SoftEDIDs = 0 (was 1) - NVreg_Mobile = 1 (was ~0) Save nvidia_os_registry.c and exit. 3. I didn't want linux compatability built into my nvidia kernel module, so I changed the following: Comment out (or undefine) this line: #define NV_SUPPORT_LINUX_COMPAT 4. Under the NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-8178 directory, compile and install the drivers: make install 5. Finally, this part is identical to the linux instructions. We need to make some tweaks to xorg.conf (and tell X to use the nvidia drivers also): Your device directive should have something similar to: Section "Device" Identifier"NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]" Driver"nvidia" BusID"PCI:1:0:0" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" Option"IgnoreEDID""true" Option"IgnoreEdidFreqs""true" Option"GenerateRTList""0" Option"OverridePolarity""1" EndSection That's all! This time when you startx with the real nvidia drivers, it won't crash. This is tested to work on both of my Toshiba laptops. If there are any errors in this howto, feel free to correct it! Now, us toshiba users can have 3d acceleration along with support for OpenGL :). Hope this helps someone! - Murph References 1. http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper 2. http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper 3. http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-8178.html 4. http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-8178.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Are the changes limited to dump_machdep.c or otherwise not dependent on a great deal of -current updates? Do you compress the data stream at all (e.g. gzip)? I have a specific need on a CompactFlash based system. I have a 256MB IDE mode card on a machine with 512MB physical memory. I can probably commit 128MB of the card as a dumpdev but I can't go beyond that. Good luck with it. Regards, Paul. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You are running RELENG_6 now, which is much more recent than RELENG_6_0_RELEASE. The first one is the top of the 6.X branch, which changes moderately slow, but it *does* change. The 6.0-RELEASE source tree is "frozen in time" at the point the tag was placed on the source tree. > my questions: > 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from > sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i > would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from > /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'?

In general, if you a bit paranoid, you should avoid running RELENG_6 on a production system.

This is why each FreeBSD release is associated with at least: * A "frozen" tag, like RELENG_6_0_RELEASE * A security branch, like RELENG_6_0 * A stable branch, like RELENG_6 Changes go very fast in the CURRENT FreeBSD branch. After they settle in for a while, soem of them are backported to the RELENG_X branch. The RELENG_X branch changes much slower than the experimental, CURRENT branch, but it does change every time a new feature is backported to RELENG_X. Then, when security fixes are made available, they are added both to the RELENG_X branch and the RELENG_X_Y security branches. If all you want is the "frozen" release sources plus changes that are really really necessary, because they fix a serious security bug, you probably want RELENG_X_Y (RELENG_6_0 in this case).

I'm not sure if that is supported on your particular chipset, but it's nevertheless worth a try, since pretty much all games assume/require hardware-accelerated 3d graphics to be working in order to run properly.

a few questions and concepts
im still pretty new to freebsd. ive been playing around with the cvsup tools, and they are quite fascinating. i changed my production server from Fedora to FreeBSD 6.0, about 1 day before the most recent sendmail exploit was published (well, published on freebsd.org anyway). i did download the patch and recompile it, but as some have also noted on this list, that it still banners as 8.13.4 when you telnet to it. so, the past couple of days, i have learned to cvsup my /usr/src directories. ive just been using the standard copy of the stable-supfile. i have learned that if i perform the sendmail recompile after the cvsup, that it sendmail seems to proclaim 8.13.6 in the banner. on top of that, i have learned that if i recompile the kernel after cvsup, that it no longer says FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, but FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE. my questions: 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'? 2) on a production server, should i avoid recompiling a kernel that will be FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE? on the whole, how reliable is the bulk of these newer sources that were pulled down by cvsup? i can definatly see the benefits of using cvsup to take care of problem with some things (like sendmail), but allowing it to update everything under the /usr/src tree, im wondering if i could be setting myself up for issues (by not editing the stable-supfile and taking only what i need). last, im also as well interested in hearing how some of my peers here apply the cvsup concepts to your production servers. thanks for reading, Jonathan Horne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

printing on firefox results in irq storm on printer port
I was printing with native Firefox 1.5.0.1 (FreeBSD 6.0) with CUPS, which Firefox sees and recognizes. The printer (Xerox N17, local, parallel port) started cycling through waiting-processing-waiting messages. Rebooting, I saw a message about an IRQ storm on the printer port being "throttled". Killing the job took care of this. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Firefox printing isn't critical but it's always nice to know what's going on. Oliver Incidentally, killing the job required a crash course in lppasswd and the cupsd.conf file, which I'll describe briefly here for the record... lppasswd stores encrypted passwords for cups administrative functions. The format is lppasswd -g group -a user. Permissions to various parts of the cupsd administrative functions (interface at http://localhost:631/admin) are set in the various location sections of /usr/local/etc/cupsd.conf. The various parameters than can be set are at http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Does FreeBSD support sparse kernel crash dumps?
Hello. I read a while back about someone working on supporting sparse kernel crash dumps (dumping only the active kernel pages to the dump device as opposed to all physical memory - for machines where the phys mem is greater than the dump dev space.) Does anyone know the status of that project? Was it committed, or are there plans to commit it? Thanks, Paul. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

So, I suppose I should apologize to X.org and change the title to "Keypad no longer works under KDE 3.5". I presumed the problem was with X and not KDE since I had such trouble with my mouse when I upgraded X to R6 and then saw that X had recently changed the keyboard driver. I don't know exactly when it stopped working, but I'm guessing when I upgraded from KDE 3.4 to 3.5 in early February, 2006. I googled "kde keypad problem" and found a reference that suggested hiding (renaming) the .kde subdirectory and the ,kderc file, both in the user's home directory. When I restarted X, I had to go through the kde setup again, but the keypad works now. You guys are geniuses.

There weren't enough mbufs available for ipfw to properly inspect a packet. So one packet was dropped by the firewall that perhaps would not have been if an extra mbuf were available.

I started seeing the same thing after upgrading the port installed on my system, but only sometimes. I haven't determined what's different between the times it works and the times it doesn't, but stubborn repetition (with slight variations such as running from a "wineconsole wcmd" prompt) seems to be a key ingredient. Interestingly, a program I installed prior to upgrading the port (irfanview) has always worked fine, although I've seen the problem on most other programs I've tried to run.

Had to run make quite a few times because it appeared that the makefile for /usr/src was broken (or at least the targets were incorrect since it kept on complaining about stuff not being compiled in buildworld). So I ran mergemaster, and things appeared to be running smoothly, but now it appears that my system is screwed up, due to bash. Granted, I used bash as my login shell for both root and my local account, and to solve this problem I tried recompiling the program from ports in single user mode, but every single time I login it complains about not being able to find libintl.so.6 (I believe), which is a part of gettext. I eventually gave up on trying to reinstall and fix bash and gettext, but when I try and login, the stupid machine still claims to be missing the library, regardless of the fact that it's no longer my login shell and I sed'ed both /etc/shells and /etc/passwd and /etc/ master.passwd so that they no longer have bash in them. I'm just basically stumped and I need a lot of help here, because the machine's inaccessible (the rc 'daemon' complains all the variables setup in rc.conf aren't valid--although they are), and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. It doesn't sound like you correctly followed the upgrade procedure, since there is no "make" in that procedure. I did though (which is the confusing part). What I did when trying to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1-PR2: make buildworld; reboot; # booted into single user mode. mergemaster -p make installworld; # failed here partway through claiming that dependencies hadn't been compiled. make buildworld; # still failed #many makes later and make all's later make installworld # success mergemaster exit #login attempt /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "-bash" #rebooted into single user mode. #sed'ed /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd to change shell from /bin/csh exit #repeat from login attempt. I've chased down the library to gcc, and I did later clean and remake libiconv, gettext, and bash, but still no dice (get the same error message as before). Additionally, you can't just change /etc/master.passwd without running cap_mkdb to have the changes take effect. Did that just a while ago; thanks for the tip. Didn't change the overall behavior though... :( As a hint for future work: If you think a Makefile provided by the FreeBSD team is "broken", the wisest course of action would be to post here _before_ you commit to an upgrade that is unlikey to work. I know that if I didn't follow through with the makes my system would have been completely crippled since some libs had been recompiled and installed, whereas others had not been because 6.0 features a different version of gcc and libc than 6.1 does. If you could provide a command which corrects the spwd.db and pwd.db files, I think that will allow me to permanently set my shell to /bin/csh, which will allow me to login and start fixing my machine from something other than single-user mode.

Where they rate their own flash at 1,000,000 read/write cycles.
The typical flash drive used to be rated for about 10,000 writes, but the
better vendors do better. :-)
They've also started doing things like "wear leveling" by rotating the
sectors being written to, which help avoid hotspots forming which wear out
earlier (ie, the directory entry for / or /tmp). But you need to look for
that feature in your flash drives as the low-cost ones typically won't have it!
You can help things out a lot by disabling file access time updating
("noatime" flag to mount), and by using RAMdisks and a no-swap config, as
someone else had mentioned.
But I'll repeat my caveat: if you want to run a general-purpose FreeBSD
system, you're better off using a hard drive than flash. Save using flash
for dedicated appliances where you've taken steps to control writes.

PS: I'm seeing a relatively significant number of 5-8 year old Cisco boxes
starting to wear out their flash chips and fail (ie, 3 out of about a dozen
or so I've had contact with over the years).

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
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. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions 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. 2.

Had to run make quite a few times because it appeared that the makefile for /usr/src was broken (or at least the targets were incorrect since it kept on complaining about stuff not being compiled in buildworld). So I ran mergemaster, and things appeared to be running smoothly, but now it appears that my system is screwed up, due to bash. Granted, I used bash as my login shell for both root and my local account, and to solve this problem I tried recompiling the program from ports in single user mode, but every single time I login it complains about not being able to find libintl.so.6 (I believe), which is a part of gettext. I eventually gave up on trying to reinstall and fix bash and gettext, but when I try and login, the stupid machine still claims to be missing the library, regardless of the fact that it's no longer my login shell and I sed'ed both /etc/shells and /etc/passwd and /etc/ master.passwd so that they no longer have bash in them. I'm just basically stumped and I need a lot of help here, because the machine's inaccessible (the rc 'daemon' complains all the variables setup in rc.conf aren't valid--although they are), and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. It doesn't sound like you correctly followed the upgrade procedure, since there is no "make" in that procedure. I did though (which is the confusing part). What I did when trying to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1-PR2: make buildworld; reboot; # booted into single user mode. make installworld; # failed here partway through claiming that dependencies hadn't been compiled. make buildworld; # still failed #many makes later and make all's later make installworld # success exit #login attempt /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "-bash" #rebooted into single user mode. #sed'ed /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd to change shell from /bin/csh exit #repeat from login attempt. I've chased down the library to gcc, and I did later clean and remake libiconv, gettext, and bash, but still no dice (get the same error message as before). Additionally, you can't just change /etc/master.passwd without running cap_mkdb to have the changes take effect. Did that just a while ago; thanks for the tip. Didn't change the overall behavior though... :( As a hint for future work: If you think a Makefile provided by the FreeBSD team is "broken", the wisest course of action would be to post here _before_ you commit to an upgrade that is unlikey to work. I know that if I didn't follow through with the makes my system would have been completely crippled since some libs had been recompiled and installed, whereas others had not been because 6.0 features a different version of gcc and libc than 6.1 does. If you could provide a command which corrects the spwd.db and pwd.db files, I think that will allow me to permanently set my shell to /bin/csh, which will allow me to login and start fixing my machine from something other than single-user mode.

How do I tell an application perhaps telnet, > ssh, or ftp to use tun0 and not xl0? Ideally you would set up appropriate routes when you establish the VPN tunnel, and the kernel would know the correct direction based on the destination IP address. Since this isn't the case, I strongly suggest that you look into cleaning up your IP ranges so it can be. Never allow half-baked routing to exist, it just causes more and more headaches the longer you let it go. However, many programs have an option to control where the source port originates from. If the application you want to use supports this, you can specifiy the IP of your end of the VPN tunnel and it should force the traffic to go through the tunnel. ssh, for example uses -b to set the originating IP. I'll reiterate, however, that the _best_ way is to properly organize your routing so it happes automagically. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Trying to do an upgrade over major versions can uncover unexpected problems. I don't notice anything in your specs that would make it not work with the latest FreeBSD (though I am not up on the latest CPU quirks). Since you have an "extra" machine to work with, why don't you just do a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.xxx on it and then build on that. Install the latest versions of the ports you are using on your servers and check it all out and then move your userland from one of the 5 in-service systems on to it. Then, replace that machine in-service with the test machine and use the replaced machine to build the next one, etc. You would get the newer UFS2 file system improvements which you would miss with just an upgrade and it would probably result in an over-all cleaner system. Everything should work just hunkie dorie. If the test box is of too little capacity for normal service, just continue the ripple install all the way around until the test box is the one pulled back out of service. If you have done a careful job of doing the first install and build on the test box you will have the necessary steps down and can probably do all 5, one at a time in a day. jerry > > My standard running machines are Dual 933 Intel machines, 1G ram, scsi > drives.. etc > > This test box is an AMD Mobile Sempron 2600+ w/ 512M ram, 80G ide drives. > > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html is the guide > that I am following.. and I have done what I think are the right steps.. > and I am getting a crash/failure in a most unusual place. > > Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/vgaio. > *** Error code 1 > > > ===> usr.sbin/pcvt/ispcvt > cc -O -pipe -c /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/ispcvt/ispcvt.c > cc -O -pipe-o ispcvt ispcvt.o > gzip -cn /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/ispcvt/ispcvt.8 > ispcvt.8.gz > ===> usr.sbin/pcvt/vgaio > cc -O -pipe -I/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/vgaio > -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/vgaio -c vgaio.c > In file included from /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/vgaio/vgaio.y:56: > /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include/machine/cpufunc.h:60: error: syntax > error before "bsfl" > /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include/machine/cpufunc.h:60: error: syntax > error before "mask" > /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include/machine/cpufunc.h: In function `bsfl': > ... etc > > The strange thing is this: > CPU: Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2600+ (799.92-MHz 686-class CPU) > > this is what dmesg tells me about this cpu.. again this is under 4.11 > > So I am wondering if these things are related, and if I try this on an > Intel cpu will I still have this issue? > > As my cvsup to RELENG_5_4 and then make buildworld fails at this point. > > I have script'd the make buildworld which is a 9M text file, and it > compresses down to a ~500k bz/gz file if anyone is interested in it. > > I have tried in single user mode as well again no difference.

It does the job nicely. I guess doing it in Perl (without knowing Perl) would be much faster...

pxeboot to -Install- FreeBSD...
Hi All, I've been messing about with FreeBSD 6.1-Beta#4 recently, and I'm trying to get a server setup, so that I can pxeboot and install FreeBSD on some other servers... I've gotten dhcpd, tftp, pxeboot et'al to work - and, indeed the client machine dhcp's, pxeboots - and dumps itself into an 'Amnesic' FreeBSD system, with df showing: " Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted On 10.0.0.1:/export/pxe 26353244 4071180 20173806 17% / devfs 1 1 1100% /dev /dev/md131470 134 28820 0% /var /dev/md21956612 17990 0% /tmp " Obviously, this would be great if I wanted to run FreeBSD off of nfs/pxeboot - but not so good for installing it... On the off chance - I tried logging in, and firing up 'sysinstall' - which didn't do too well, probably obviously :) What do I need to do, to turn this 'booting FreeBSD from pxeboot' into something that will dump me into sysinstall, like booting from the CD rom? I've searched the net - but the only stuff I've found is either for much earlier FreeBSD versions, or incomplete - or both :) Thanks, -Karl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: NAT, VPN and other SOHO router advice
> Given what you've said, you should set up the FreeBSD machine as a bridge > rather than a router. Having now read the manpage for bridge(4) and if_bridge(4), I am not certain that this is going to achieve what I want to achieve. I'm told by the FreeBSD HB that "The consensus is that assigning both cards an address is a bad idea." Since I want rl1 to have a public IP block and rl0 to have a private IP, I assume this isn't going to work. So, router it is. Now, for this VPN. I reckon my best bet is to run the PPTP client from the BSD box, no?

There is one of the oldest firewall toolkits, the TIS' FWTK, http://www.fwtk.org/main.html it has some so called 'plug-gw', writte in C, which does exactly what you want, excepting TCP on one address:port and directing it transparently to some other address:port (like the woman in the old POTS did with the cable); you can (and I did it for testing purposes as well) easy expand it to collect the data to some file, for example. matthias -- Matthias Apitz / Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH ein Tochterunternehmen der OCLC PICA B.V.

OT: tcp redictor with dump-(in|out)put-to-stdout capability
Hi, I am searching for program similar to net/redir. It's a simple program that listens to a tcp port and redirects all input to another address:port. I want to debug http and I need something that does what redir does plus dumping all input & output to my terminal. Is there some- thing like that in ports? Or somewhere else?
