That's not what you want for PPPoE. For PPPoE you can use ppp(8) or
net/mpd, which is the ppp daemon I choose(and i believe many others).
ppp(8) is very simple to setup, mpd is quite simple and quite lighter(mpd 
handles only the connnection's initiliazation, the rest(more or less) is 
kernel-based. That's not the case with ppp(8))

pf problem with table

[Reinhold Platzoeder]

Hi

I have a problem with FreeBSD 6 and pf
I am trying to load a 1.7M file in to pf using a tables
but I get this error

/etc/pf.conf:22: cannot define table p2pblock: Cannot allocate memory
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded

the table config in pf.conf is
table  persist file "/etc/pfdata/blocklist-p2p"
block in log quick on $ext_if from  to any

I have tried it on two different machines and both gives me the same
error 

everything works when I comment these two lines out

Any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Try portupgrade(1)  (man 1 portupgrade)

# cd /usr/ports
# portupgrade -NFPPv  name-of-package

This says this may be a new installation "N"
Go get the files (packages), do not install anything "F"
Use packages only, fail if packages not available "PP" (important to use 
two upper-case Ps here)

Be verbose "v"

If you also want to fetch dependencies you can add -R.  This will 
recurse through all

the dependencies the new package needs

# cd /usr/ports
# portupgrade -NFPPRv  name-of-package

Best Regards,

Duane Whitty

pkg_add -n says Do not actually install a package,
just report the steps that would be taken if it was.
But it doesn't say what it will do, so you can give
that a try.

Another thing to try is make fetch-recursive in one of
the items listed in the ports tree you would like to
fetch. Find a small package with only a couple of
dependencies and see if make fetch-recursive indeed
just fetches items and not install (I stried it with
Zope3). It downloaded the two packages but didn't
install them.

Hope that helps.

Try man pkg_delete. Last option is -r. 

Give pkg_delete -r and the name of the pkg to delete.

Installing Free over linux installation

[Aguiar Magalhaes]

Hi list,

Using standard installation (sysinstall), I'm trying
to install the FreeBSD 6.0 in the machine where exist
a old linux installation (The linux will be full
replaced)

In the fdisk stage, I've created /, swap, /var, /usr
and /home slices, but when I confirm, I've received a
error message about the swap slice:

"Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
The creation of filesystem will be aborted"

What is it ? How can I fix it ?

Thanks,

Aguiar

Hi Aguiar,

I was installing FreeBSD 6.0-BETA4 a few moments ago, and saw the
same problem.  I was adjusting the partitions (not slices), somehow
it seems the sysinstall (or the underlying subsystem) seemed to have
forgotten about the swap partition.

Anyway, i re-sliced the disk and repartitioned the subsequent slice
w/ partitions sizes already calculated.  This time i had no problem.

Mind you that i installed from the same disc previously on a
different computer, and missing swap node message did not come up
while adjusting the partition size multiple times.  Whatever ...

Booting into an installed software raid system

[valentin_nils]

Hello FreeBSD users,

I am happilly installing FreeBSD systems (remotely), however there is one thing
which I would like to get solved, hopefully the one or the other can help me
out.

Anyway here the story goes:

I have setup a sample FreeBSD system (Software Raid 1) on the devices /dev/ad2
and /dev/ad4.

I reboot the system and want to leave the FreeBSD system in the CDrom drive for
later use, but boot from the software mirrored FreeBSD installation (on the
HDD).

How do I do this ?

0) I could use the KVM and set the motherboards bios'es boot option, but lets
ignore that for a moment ;-)

1) In the Bootloader menu I am choosing Option "6 - Loading a command prompt"

2) I could probably use the Fixit option in the install CD


So for now, lets explore 1) a bit more

I load the necessary kernel and the modules.

f.e. load geom_mirror

lsdev will show me as devices "cd0", "disk1s1xxx", "disk2s1xxx"

Note that the "real" device name used should be actually f.e. "/dev/ad2s1xxx"
and "/dev/ad4s1xxx"

How can I boot from here into f.e. /dev/gm0s1xxx ?

(ad2 and ad4 are defined as gm0 in the original setup)

Any suggestion welcome.

Best regards

Nils Valentin

Maybe this might help you 
These are my usb mouse settings 

/etc/rc.conf
moused_enable="NO"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol" "Auto"
Option  "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

~/.xinitrc
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11"

With this config I have no problems
except that when I spin my mouse wheel really fast in firefox or opera
it opens a new page when it goes over a link

All I do now is to scroll more patiently if I want to move fast from the
top of a page to the bottom I use the keyboard

First, welcome to FreeBSD.  

It sounds like you didn't allocate a swap partition during the
installation when you were asked to allocate partitions on ad0s1.   If
you don't take the defaults, then you must allocate swap space
explicitly.  This should be done on partition b, i.e. on ad0s1b.

I suggest you do your first install taking all of the defaults.  If you
choose a "minimal installation" it will go very quickly.  After you get
one installation variant of FreeBSD running, you can experiment with
alternate variants of the partitioning of ad0s1.  Check each
installation with

#disklabel ad0s1

Each variant will require a swap partition.  

The Handbook and FAQs are excellent and should be your primary
references for awhile. There is a link to each on www.freebsd.org. Don't
be afraid to click the Newbies button; it will lead you to many fine web
sites with tutorials.  A couple days ago someone recommended
http://www.a1poweruser.com/ which looked good enough to me to bookmark.
If you have a lot of Linux experience, it is a good site.

Best of luck,

Re: mouse scroll up problem

[applecom]

I have FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and optical Microsoft IntelliMouse 
Explorer, USB native, plugged to PS/2 port via it's own USB->PS/2 
adaptor.
When I scroll my mouse wheel up in X11 it acts like "scroll up + 
left button one/double-click". For example, in Opera, Firefox. In 
MS Windows mouse works correctly.


I am running the same mouse in the same way on the same release. 


I have changed settings as Pete advised. Both variants (old and new) 
are working (scrolling) but described effect remains.
Why I think that scrolling up works as "scroll + left click": for 
example, in Opera scrolling up at the top of document (when real 
scroll is impossible) result in marking the word under cursor and 
appearing context menu for very short time.


I've been having the same problem since updating to Xorg 6.9.0 two 
months ago. Before that, this problem did not exist for me. Here are a 
couple examples of what I see with use:


I know it's only a workaround and not a solution, but at least until 
you're able to get the rodent behaving the way you like, you can change 
the setting in Thunderbird preferences.


In v1.5:
Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced
[Check box]  Wait XX seconds before marking a message as read
(2nd item down)


Effect disappears when mouse is plugged to USB port directly, without 
adapter. Besides that with ums(4) buttons 6 and 7 works although it has 
the same affect as button 1.

But there is no ability to power off USB port at the moment it seems
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2005-December/001756.html). 
PS/2 advantage: 'killall moused' results in turning mouse off, for USB 
it doesn't.

Sounds like wise advice, but how do I go about this? "Just add another
NAT", sound simple enough, but how do I do that?

I guess safer means there will be no access to my wired network (LAN) if I
add another NAT zone? Help would be much appreciated ;-)

One other thing: if I (still) decide (in the future) to clone, would I
clone the internal Ethernet card or the one attached to my ISP?

Roundcube is what I use for my own personal webmail, but it generates
errors a little more often than I'd like.  I'm on Lotus Domino at work,
but if I had to choose a webmail client for a large userbase, I'd excluse
Roundcube b/c of the errors.  Squirrelmail is good, Horde is good.

You might also want to check out Zimbra.  I have no experience with this,
but it looks to be a pretty full featured package.

Control-alt-backspace is the "standard" salut
for helping X go away.
Alternately, one can control-alt-F[1-8]
to get to a virtual console and kill the server
from the command line.  Waiting for it to die
is a gerund.
As someone else pointed out, you most likely
need merely to delete the offending .Xauthority
file.

well if its an official change in procedure, i have no problem with

weekend when i compiled the port after latest cvsup.  vsftpd needed to
vsftpd.sh for it to start at boot (with vsftpd_enable="YES" in
/etc/rc.conf).  while i did not reboot my test boxes to see whether or not
dovecot and saslauthd did or did not start at boot without the .sh on
their scripts, it still wondered what was going on.

i have several more additional daemons to compile in today, it will be
interesting to see their installation behavior as well.
 

My understanding is that the changes were going to be done in a 
backwards-compatible way so if something didn't work "out-of-the-box" 
for you then there may be something wrong somewhere.  I don't know 
enough to say what, if anything, is wrong with those ports.


What I thought was that *you* wouldn't have to adapt at all, unless you 
write or maintain a port, but that port maintainers would have to change 
over to the new style.  I thought it was also going to stay compatible 
with the old style, since 5.X won't, as I understand it, get the 
changes.  But ports still have to work on 5.X, one would hope!

i'd say that figure may be a little high, but i agree with your
sentiment.  you could "easily" create a web server cluster by putting
your httpd nodes behind a software load balancer (a BSD box running
PF/CARP or somesuch solution), and you would have created a cluster of
web servers that will provide you with a reasonable amount of
redundancy.  this will provide one form of clustering.

granted, this is just one type of clustering computers together -
which is much differnet than say building a farm of machines to
compute data in unison.

Dummies aren't qualified to set up a cluster, I'm afraid.

You should start by determining what services the system needs to  
provide, what kind of reliability and uptime is desired, and what the  
budget is for hardware and software.  If the budget is less than mid  
5-digits (compare to low-to-mid 6-digits if doing Windows, say a

is absolutely vital to the cluster staying sane.

Nothing is wrong.
See "man rc".
   



well, only reason im asking, as in all my previous test boxes, the start
up scripts seemed to initially appear in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ already with
the .sh on them.  ive done dovecot and sasl2 a ton of times, its just
seems odd that they start this behavior all of a sudden.
 

There are changes going on to how rc scripts work: basically, making 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d work just like /etc/rc.d with full rcNG 
functionality (REQUIRE, PROVIDES etc).  Scripts which worked like that 
would no longer end in .sh as per rc man page description for /etc/rc.d


Check out the recent discussions on freebsd-rc mailing list from the 
archives.


If you believe that the new scripts are wrong, I would suggest asking on 
freebsd-rc.  Maybe some ports have been updated in advance or wrongly or 
something, but I would think that freebsd-rc was the right place to start.

Hallo !

I am unaware that wpa_supplicant is now part of the base system and
continued to use the cvs-ports wpa_supplicant v0.3.8.  Thanks for pointing
this out.

I have rebuilt the base wpa_supplicant from source and enable EAP-TTLS
support.  Now sp_scan=2 option does not cause core dump, but wpa_supplicant
has problem connecting to the AP using the non-broadcast SSID:

wpa_driver_bsd_associate: ssid 'employee' wpa ie len 24 pairwise 2
group 2 key mgmt 0
wpa_driver_bsd_associate: set PRIVACY 1
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 21, len 42]: Invalid argument
Association request to the driver failed

I am cross posting this question to both hostap and freebsd.  If this is
just a driver issue, I will pursue this on the freebsd forum.

well, only reason im asking, as in all my previous test boxes, the start
up scripts seemed to initially appear in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ already with
the .sh on them.  ive done dovecot and sasl2 a ton of times, its just
seems odd that they start this behavior all of a sudden.

clustering is a pretty broad topic.  you may find it more helpfull to
first define the issue you are facing at hand.  would you like to
create a farm of servers running httpd for example?  or maybe you
would like to string a bunch of computers together to crunch data
sets.  in any event, if you define to us exactly what you are trying
to accomplish we should be able to help  more.

Curious behavior today

[Jonathan Horne]

ive been working on a pair of test boxes today, and 2 daemons in a row,
have installed from ports without the .sh on the end of their startup
script.

ive done tons of installs on these test boxes, what am i all of a sudden
doing wrong?  the only thing im doing different is (what i thinkn is just)
syntax.

before:
cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot
make install distclean

now:
cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot; make install distclean

saslthaud did the same thing just a while a go.  this happend on 2 boxes
simultaneously!

thanks,
Jonathan Horne

RE: SATA controller - Adaptec 1210SA on 6.0/6.1RC

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

thisis the oemed highpoint if I'm not mistaken.  It's a good controller.

WD drives on IDE raid are a problem - WD has a blurb on this on
their website - they sell special raid-ready ide drives for this purpose.
the programming in their standard drives isn't compatible with raid.

How to create a .la file?

[Norberto Meijome]

hi,
trying to upgrade gimp from ports, the build process failed with:


libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.la' or
unhandled argument `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.la'

libXcursor.la is usually provided by x11/libXcursor, but this port conflicts
with xorg-libraries.

xorg-libraries doesn't provide this file. how do I create it from the existing
libXcursor.so|.a  ?

thanks in advance,

SATA controller - Adaptec 1210SA on 6.0/6.1RC

[Łukasz Bromirski]

Hi list,

I'm having problems with the following setup:

Abit KT7A-RAID
Adaptec 1210SA in 3rd slot and 2xWestern Digitial 200GB drives
Intel 10/100/1000 in 2nd slot
AGP card (some generic GeForce)
Samsung 80GB connected to first IDE controller
CD-ROM connected to second IDE controller

In essence, any operation that touches the drives connected to the
1210SA controller hang machine in place (after about 3 or 4 seconds),
and only message I was able to see before it was 'ata2 request
DISCONNECT' (disks are visible as ad4 and ad6).

Of course any disk operations involving the IDE drive are OK, I tested
some file transfers and they were able to keep 20MB/s rate without
a problem.

I consulted the BIOS settings page of the motherboard manual and
set up everything so IRQs would not collide - so that's why NIC and
the Adaptec PCI card are on 2nd and 3rd slot (I have to use USB on
this PC and don't have any PCI graphics card, so essentialy, there is
no other option). 'vmstat' shows every device on it's own interrupt.
Hangs happen with and without ACPI loaded during boot.

I saw some discussions about how crappy Si3112 and low-end Adaptec
controllers are, but is there any way to have it running stable on
6.0/6.1RC machine?

Is your board REX-PCI60 with EXAR XR17C152 ?

On NetBSD, EXAR XR17D15x is already supported with puc(4) driver.

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/pucdata.c#rev1.44

As far as I know, XR17D15x is a dual-voltage (3.3/5V PCI) version of
XR17C15x.  Other specifications seems to be the same.  Perhaps your
board will be work with the same entry.

On FreeBSD, the file pucdata.c is located in /sys/dev/puc/ .

Datasheets are available on the URL:

i would suggest to start with a dual-boot, re-partitioning can easily be
done with gparted :

gparted is an open-source equivalent to the commercial closed-source

You didn't specify the default wepkey, but the syntax looks

The wireless NIC doesn't get rl1's ip address,
it just sees more or less the same traffic. 

BTW don't bridge your wireless and wired networks if you don't have to.
If your only goal is to get internet access for your wireless
clients, it's probably safer to just add another NAT zone.

with the Athene GUI?

3. Is there any software for FreeBSD that will read
Canon CR2 files from my Canon XT?

4. Is it possible to run Mac OSX software on FreeBSD?

My questions are because I want to transfer from
Windows XP and to maintain my OpenOffice,
PhotoProcessing and internet capabilities, while not
using a virus magnet like Windows. (also keeps my 8
year old from trying to load CDs of games behind my back.

RE: server hardware

[Derek Ragona]

You'll do best to select your individual hardware and then shop for it one 
at a time, searching for the best prices.


You can select motherboards at the manufacturer's websites.  You will get 
better performance with RAID build on the motherboard.  Newer motherboards 
also support SATA-300, so you will want drives in that speed too (most 300 
GB and larger are available in SATA-300.)  New motherboards will also 
support dual core CPU's which are now the same price as hyperthreaded 
single core CPU's.  These motherboards will also support faster DDR2 RAM.


Rack cases cost more, but get a good brand that supports different cooling 
options and quieter operation on the larger 3U and 4U models.


You may want to use a couple shopping bots to help find the best prices 
once you have your shopping list complete.

Data centers charge for space in rack units per month.  So a 2 unit case is
more rental than a one unit model.

If you want to build it yourself, which will be most cost effective, and rack
space rental cost is not an issue, I would suggest getting a 3 unit case.  A
three unit case will take any motherboard and CPU.  Smaller 1 unit and 2 unit
cases are constricted by their size and heat dissipation and usually are
limited to only certain motherboard and CPU combinations.  Also depending on
what type of hard drive system you want (RAID, or just a drive or two) the
larger cases are more flexible.

Cost. Specs needed parts you can put in yourself. Need more info.

Why not go 2U and pay more for rental but less for the box and
equipment. You can always check on ebay for 1u cases on the cheap.

Yeah that worked pretty good. I new I needed to make

[Mathieu Prevot]

Hello,

I have compiled a kernel with the good options/device:

devicesound
devicesnd_ich

devicemiibus
devicenve
devicesis
options   DEVICE_POLLING

the sis0 (netgear adapter) works but the other chips are not detected:

pci0:  at device 16.1 (no driver attached)
pci0:  at device 20.0 (no driver attached)

I have a nForce410 /nVidia MCP on an asus motherboard.
Can I do something in /boot/device.hint ?

I use RELENG_6 / AMD64, and X -configure set "vesa" as graphical driver.
When I manually set "nv", the GPU is not detected.
But in the last Fedora Core (5) AMD64, "nv" works.
What can I do ?

Mathieu

The latter.  It can, however, use the "packet interface" as well as
the old cylinder-based BIOS interface; perhaps that will work for you.

I used SM for a LONG time and recently switched to Horde. I like it A
LOT better. Sure it was more work to get going, but its not terrible.
They just fixed the horde ports so that your config doesn't get renamed
when you upgrade, so that's a good thing!

Start with horde and imp only, get that working, then add the other
horde modules as you need them.

The thing with SM is that it doesn't get updated enough (for me
anyways). Sure little security updates, but theres been no movement on
1.5 in forever.  

Horde has a TON of features, is fast, looks nice, handles procmail
filters, etc.

I like it! =)

Well are you the sole user or is this for supporting a pool of users? 
You choice should reflect who will actually be using the system.  I use
SM and it has been fine.  I run it on a fairly slow system (400 MHz) so
I expect it to be sluggish.

One thing you need to make sure of when using the Fixit CD is that the kernel 
can find the necessary modules for whatever you're trying to do.  In the case 
of ntfs.ko and smbfs.ko (and I presume ext2fs.ko), this doesn't happen by 
default.  To fix this, change the kernel's module path from the minimal one 
in the MFS root to the complete one included on the CD:

sysctl kern.module_path="/dist/boot/kernel"

Then try your mount_ext2fs command again.

Also, remember to check the "debug" console (Alt-F2) to see if there are any 
kernel messages that might shed additional light on the problem.

Good luck, and please post again even if just to say "it worked".

Re: Newbie question -- which files to back up?

[Derek Ragona]

The short answer is to backup the files you want to save.  As a general 
rule, I suggest backing up:


/etc
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/www

The last one assumes you have some website(s).

If you are also worried about email, if you are using the standard 
sendmail, also backup:


/var/mail

I would suggest you create separate compressed tar volumes for your 
backups, then you can restore them individually if you need to.

depends on what you want, sqwebmail has a lot less features than
squirrelmail but it's certainly faster

running sqwebmail within a jail gave me some annoying smtp-problems though

if you have mbox-style mailboxes you can try openwebmail, it has a lot
of features http://openwebmail.org/

Did you do the perl-after-upgrade step, as the upgrade instructions
suggested?  It sure looks like one of your perl ports hasn't been
updated appropriately; you could always rebuild all of them to be sure.

RE: server hardware

[Derek Ragona]

Data centers charge for space in rack units per month.  So a 2 unit case is 
more rental than a one unit model.


If you want to build it yourself, which will be most cost effective, and 
rack space rental cost is not an issue, I would suggest getting a 3 unit 
case.  A three unit case will take any motherboard and CPU.  Smaller 1 unit 
and 2 unit cases are constricted by their size and heat dissipation and 
usually are limited to only certain motherboard and CPU combinations.  Also 
depending on what type of hard drive system you want (RAID, or just a drive 
or two) the larger cases are more flexible.

Why not go 2U and pay more for rental but less for the box and

Re: Text files going double lined

[Derek Ragona]

Usually this is a result of the wrong end-of-line characters being used, 
depending on what the output device expects.


In UNIX, end-of-line is just a line-feed, in MS-DOS/Windows end-of-line is 
a carriage-return line-feed pair.


You may need to change the end-of-line characters to suit your needs and 
output device.

We sell virtual private server hosting, on a FreeBSD 6.0 server. We have a

From http://www.webmin.com/faq.html :

How do I install new modules?

Once you have downloaded a new module as a .wbm file,
enter the Webmin Configuration module and click on the
Webmin Modules button. Then use the form at the top of the
page to install the module either from the local filesystem of
the server Webmin is running on, or uploaded from the client
your browser is on.

Re: rc.local

You would have to create one.   But, most of the things people
used to put in to rc.local on FreeBSD have been changed and are
handled in other ways or are put other places.   So, rc.local 
isn't so often used any more.Check out /usr/local/etc/rc.d,
for example.

But, if you just have to have an rc.local for some reason of your
own, then just use a text editor (vi) and create it.   Just make
sure what you are doing with it doesn't conflict with any of the
more modern ways of doing things.   You might need to ask about
specific items - where they go now or how they are now handled - 
that you used to see in rc.local.

That's why swap-backed /tmp filesystems have a `size'.  To make sure

If, knowing all this, you still plan for a very small swap space, then
you are right that problems will start creeping up very fast.
