Hrm... maybe if I raise a big enough stink termcap can be installed in 
/etc, managed by mergemaster, and everyone will go away happy... me 
because I have what I want and everyone else because I finalyl shut up.  ;-)

The curses(3X) man page seems to be they key reference.  Particularly
the section on environment variables: TERM, TERMCAP, TERMPATH.  It does
also mention the possibility of using ${HOME}/.termcap to hold supplementary
termcap entries. However, these man pages are rather confusing: many of them
talk about terminfo(5) in terms of 'it is going to replace termcap(5) any
day now'.  But terminfo(5) is a SysV-ism and supported only as a compatibility
thing under FreeBSD.
  
I'm fairly certain that anything the curses man pages have to say on the 
topic is wrong (and I dare you to read the terminfo manpage - it's been 
dead on my system for some time... but that's Ok, since it's not 
applicable).  I believe that *BSD is the only platform using termcap 
with ncurses left on the planet.  I use termcap(5) as my primary source, 
but have a firm belief that the last two thirds of the "CAVEATS AND 
BUGS" section is completely wrong.

Most people will be perfectly happy with the default termcap database -- so
long as it provides xterm / vt100 and cons25 almost all situations are covered.
  

Yeah.

For your purposes if using environment variables to achieve your ends turns out
not to be workable, then I'd suggest keeping a backup copy of your customised
termcap somewhere where system updates won't overwrite it -- keeping it
in CVS or similar would be a good move -- and writing yourself a little
script to merge in your changes to /usr/share/misc/termcap and then re-run
'cap_mkdb /usr/share/misc/termcap' after a system update.  I've a feeling that
/etc/termcap is there mostly for historical compatibility now-adays.
  
*nod* I've done a basic hack now and plastered stickynotes on all my 
systems with dumb terminals.  We'll see how well that system works out.  :-)


I haven't yet found a way to use env variables (and haven't futzed 
around with ~/.termcap yet) with entries in /etc/ttys I suspect it won't 
work but I won't know until I beat myself to death with them.

Newsyslog problem using Apache 2.2.x

[Pelle Andersson]

Hi List!

Doesn't know if this is a FreeBSD error or a Apache error.
Im using FreeBSD 4.10 PatchLevel #23. For a number of days ago
i was sucessfully upgrading Apache from 2.0.x series to 2.2.x series.

Everything worked perfekt except newsyslog. Im using the following
in newsyslog.conf (worked perfect in Apache 2.0.x):
/var/log/apache/*.log root:wheel 640 7 * $D05 GZB /var/run/httpd.pid 30

The error that returns is this:
"newsyslog: log /var/log/apache/httpd-error.log.0 not compressed because
daemon(s) not notified"
"newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 30076: No such process"

I also have some problem with SSL - but I don't know if these problems
are related. I was using "passphrase exec:/dir/dir/..." - stoped working.
Needed to change to "passphrase builtin" to get it work.
Just a parenthesis of the above problem.

BR, TIA - Pelle

clear and present danger

[james dandey]

When ever a US DOJ, military or other intelligence officer is involved in 
stealing from their suspects and using others (potential witnesses) to help 
with his crime, he is now a clear and present danger.
 
 This officer has opened themselves up to blackmail/collusion and can be 
compromised by the  "unbeknown" foreign operative that may have helped with the 
theft. California (bay area) is rife with these corrupt officers.
 
 Oh, and when you loosen the exhaust fitting beneath my car so that CO fills 
the compartment, you are not only trying to silence me but also endangering the 
lives of others.

How many computers are on this network? Probably less than 253. Make
sure your DHCP server is only giving out leases in, say, 10.0.0.1-254
range and then change it to a /24 subnet, or whatever fits your
environment.


Small network--about 20 at the main location, and maybe 2-3 at the  
secondary location, once it's up.





- a wireless network with IP range 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (nat'ed

NATed from the 10/8 network too? You may want to just route between
the wired and wireless, it will save you some headaches
troubleshooting things later. Security policies between the networks
should be implemented by the firewall.


Yeah, it was setup this way a couple years ago, and hasn't been  
changed in the meanwhile. I was thinking it would probably be a good  
idea to just do normal routing, which it sounds like you've confirmed :)




They are adding a second warehouse location. It will also have one
static IP address (running on dsl also). I'd like to get a IPsec
connection going between the location so all warehouse traffic goes
through the main branch. I've done this much before.

They also want to subdivide up the network at their main location so
some terminals can be on gige and some are on 100. I believe I've
read you shouldn't mix and match 100/1000?


Do you know what your bandwidth usage is? Chances are very good that
the peak usage for the workstations is around 8-10Mbps. In other
words, you almost certainly don't need GigE. Even my file servers,
that service several hundred roaming profiles, peak around 70-80MBps.
Find out what your bandwidth usage is before you go out and spend
several thousand dollars on an upgrade that won't do you any good.  (
I use cacti and SNMP agents to watch my bandwidth usage. )


It's not an issue for most of the workstations, but there are several  
workstations that do large file transfers (working with graphics,  
etc) on a regular basis. They support gige already (macs), the  
fileserver has gige (em interface) and there's an unused SMC switch  
available. I thought it was more complicated I think.



Assuming you have a switched network, you should have no problems
mixing your 10/100Base network with your 10/100/1000Base network. Even
if you were using hubs you shouldn't have a problem. (Do they even
make 1000Base Ethernet hubs?)



That's good to know. I had been unsure if there were issues relating  
to MTU issues--like if I enabled jumbo frames (the switch I have  
available supports jumbo frames, which I had read were good to enable)



I don't really have any experience with how subnetting and IP ranges
should work for a configuration like this (local network, remote
ipsec location, wireless network, etc).


Simple subnetting alone won't *really* separate two network if they
share physical infrastructure. You would need to either completely
separate the physical networks or do something with 802.1q VLANs.
Either way you will need a router.


Looking for any assistance (advice, links, anything!) on how to setup
a sane and well designed network.

Hi,

You could have something like this:

10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0# for your 100s
10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0# for your 1000s
10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0# for the second warehouse

Each network would be capable of handling 65,534 hosts.

Also, I don't see any problems regarding mix and match 100/1000. I'd
keep them together if they fall into same category/department
(workstations?).

Here, some links for you:

New to "Nix like" systems in general, or just new to FreeBSD?

Here are a few suggestions ... no "magic bullet" here, though:

First, check to see if the interface exists:

$ ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00

So, we have a loopback interface (in this case on both IPv4

PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.088 ms

This checks name resolution.  If the machine doesn't know
where "localhost" is, you probably need to add a hint in
/etc/hosts (but that should've been done already, IIRC).

-
$ netstat -anf inet | grep 80
tcp4   0  0  *.80  *.*   LISTEN

This shows a server listening on port 80 ... the http port.
Grep "22" for sshd.  Incidentally, you can find that sort
of thing (what port number to look for) out this way:

$ grep ssh /etc/services
ssh  22/tcp#Secure Shell Login
ssh  22/udp#Secure Shell Login
sshell  614/tcp#SSLshell
sshell  614/udp
x11-ssh 6010/tcp   #Unofficial name, for convenience
x11-ssh 6010/udp
--
This is often useful in this type of situation - we'll check
to see if something is actually running, and whether it returns
a meaningful error message if it's not:

$ telnet localhost 22
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.2p1 FreeBSD-20050903

To leave, press the "escape character" (shown),
and then type "quit"

---
Are you running a firewall?  If so, the loopback interface
should allow all traffic.  (Of course, if it's not, you'll
have lots of trouble --- but then, you are having a little,
right?)

This box is running ipfw:

$ ipfw show
ipfw: socket: Operation not permitted

Whoops!  Better use root credentials for that.  I use
sudo, a 3rd party app (as do many FBSD users); you may
need to actually use "su" to get root before looking
at firewall rules.

$ sudo ipfw show
00100   47450  15295315 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0
00200 1279040 547068572 allow ip from any to any via lo0

So this box is doing NAT (rule 100) and is allowing traffic
on the "loopback" interface (which is from/to 127.0.0.1/localhost
 rule 200).

---

If that's not enough to give some clue, write the list again
with some more information.

HTH,

Well, this makes sense. Your sendmail is disabled:

sendmail_enable="NONE"

This is what you need:

sendmail_enable="YES"


Try that and see how it goes.


Cheers,
Mikhail.

Because they have not been served by the web browser, and hence have not been

Maildir is your friend. Mbox likes to blow up. The only nice thing

Network Design

[Scott Sipe]

I'm helping a small business expand their networking.

right now they have one office location (with a freebsd firewall box,  
and a freebsd box running db, web, samba, etc).


Their main office location has:
- 3 external static IPs on a DSL connection (all aliased on one nic)
- an internal network of 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
- a wireless network with IP range 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (nat'ed  
and running off the firewall box)


They are adding a second warehouse location. It will also have one  
static IP address (running on dsl also). I'd like to get a IPsec  
connection going between the location so all warehouse traffic goes  
through the main branch. I've done this much before.


They also want to subdivide up the network at their main location so  
some terminals can be on gige and some are on 100. I believe I've  
read you shouldn't mix and match 100/1000?


I don't really have any experience with how subnetting and IP ranges  
should work for a configuration like this (local network, remote  
ipsec location, wireless network, etc).


Looking for any assistance (advice, links, anything!) on how to setup  
a sane and well designed network.

I searched around and figured that out. Now I have a few other questions.

1) How did it suddenly get in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory anyway?

2) If it is not specifically enabled or disabled in the rc.conf file,
why is it complaining? Other files in ./rc.d do not complain if there is
no entry in the rc.conf file. They just do not start. At least that is
what I believe happens.

3) Would this be considered a bug of some type?

There is a PR about this:

ttp://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern-91488

I have a PVR250 tv capture card and it will easily produce files
in excess of 2G.  I applied one of the patches mention in the PR
locally and can read those large files back to the system (and
reapply it after each CVSup since it hasn't been committed).

HTH,

Randy

FreeBSD's implementation is correct, Linux is the one that's wrong,
they decided to embrace and extend the standard. Theirs a 2GB cap per
file on DVDs.


More specifically the ISO9660 file system, maybe UDF doesn't have this
limit, you should look into it and report back.

Command used : growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -l -J -r burn/
In burn/ I have a backup file of size 4166629386 bytes and some smaller
files. In total 4577410 kB.

An 'ls -la' of the mounted dvd+r shows :
ls: backup.bz2: Value too large to be stored in data type

I can read the whole dvd without problems on a non-FreeBSD system. I
cannot find a limit in GROWISOFS(1m) or MKISOFS(8), but on
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2005-12/msg01736.html
I read about a 2 GB maximum filesize for a file on a dvd. Is this true ?
If so I think it should be mentioned in GROWISOFS(1m).



FreeBSD's implementation is correct, Linux is the one that's wrong,
they decided to embrace and extend the standard. Theirs a 2GB cap per
file on DVDs.

Error Message Upon Boot-up

[Gerard E. Seibert]

Using: FreeBSD 6.1

I have suddenly started seeing an error message upon boot-up. This is a 
snippet of the display when the error message is displayed.

This just started happening and I cannot figure out why. My entire rc.conf

Hi,

I have been using usbd.conf for a workaround. Maybe clumsy but it
works for me!

In my usbd.conf I have:

device "Sony Ericsson W810i"
   devname "umass[0-9]+"
   vendor  0x0fce
   product 0xe042
   attach "sleep 5 ; /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/da1 /mnt ; /etc/rc.d/devfs 
restart"

As I said, this works for me but it seams to be a bit stupid that this
kind of workaround is needed...


Thanks for listening!!!

Hi Yattaran,

I'm not looking into the size of a DVD disc, I'm looking into the size
limits of a *file* on the DVD. Sorry for the confusion.

I can write a file of 4166629386 bytes to the dvd+r just fine, but
cannot read it afterwards :
ls: backup.bz2: Value too large to be stored in data type

The dvddemystified website has an interesting pointer on it in the 'note
section of chapter 3.3' : "FAT16 also has a 2 gigabyte file size limit"

Could this be related ?

the trick of the "&" is that the fd (filediscriptor) is kept open and if you
redirect fd 1 to a file and fd 2 to file it would get overwritten!

one last word to Bash: bash seems to be nice, it is indeed, but for real
good and compatible scripting i would recommend you to use plain sh.

so far,

MailScanner Issues

Hmm, it does not look like MailScanner uses tcp at all, rather looks

permissions problem for the sendmail spool directory for instance. Sorry 
for the waste of bandwidth...

Re: Why won't FreeBSD boot from hard drive??

[Kevin Kinsey]

Aaron VanAlstine wrote:

I successfully loaded FreeBSD 6.0 from CD all the way until the system
reboots; however, the computer seems regard the DVD/CD as the boot hard
drive and is trying to boot from that. During boot-up it auto detects the
DVD ROM as the Pri Master, and the two HDs as 3rd and 4th Master. When it
gets to the boot-stage, I get a message ³Reboot and Select proper Boot
device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.²
According to the BIOS setup utility, the 1st boot device is Intel Striped
RAID. Yet, when I restart  and hit F8 to select the BBS popup menu, it
appears that the DVD is still the boot device. I change it to the HD and
re-boot and still I get the original ³Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" message.

The DVD/CD cable is connected to the blue primary IDE on the motherboard and
the two HD are connected to SATA1 and SATA2. From the Main screen of the
BIOS setup utility:

-- Primary IDE Master is the NEC DVD RW.
-- Primary IDE Slave Not Detected,
-- IDE Configuration is RAID (OnBoard Serial-ATA BOOTROM is Disabled.)

Any ideas on how I can make the system boot from the hard drive instead of
trying the DVD/CD?




I assume that you've noted the existence of a "Boot from RAID" or
similar option, and told the BIOS **not** to boot from CD/DVD?



My hardware consists of:

ASUS P5LD2 ACPI Bios Revision 0901 motherboard



Which SATA controller chip on this board?

The reason I ask --- and this was on a Windows server, but would
apply either way:

I had a server doing something very similar --- install from CD,
then can't find its array with both hands.

Someone I read on the 'net* has a theory --- possibly confirmed,
that the next generation SATA drives take so long to spin up in
some cases that the motherboard's BIOS times out waiting on them.
He claims this to be the case with Seagate and Maxtor SATA-II
drives (especially those with "Native Command Queueing" or similar
technology).

The board in question was an Epox board with the NVidia NForce 4
SATA RAID controller.  Since this board also had a Silicon Image
RAID contoller, we tried that and had some success.

Since we still wanted to use the "primary" SATA controller, we
contacted our HDD manufacturer and received firmware updates
for the drives.  After this, they've been quite reliably booting
for a few days now.

gets to the boot-stage, I get a message ³Reboot and Select proper Boot
device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.²
According to the BIOS setup utility, the 1st boot device is Intel Striped
RAID. Yet, when I restart  and hit F8 to select the BBS popup menu, it
appears that the DVD is still the boot device. I change it to the HD and
re-boot and still I get the original ³Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" message.

The DVD/CD cable is connected to the blue primary IDE on the motherboard and
the two HD are connected to SATA1 and SATA2. From the Main screen of the
BIOS setup utility:

-- Primary IDE Master is the NEC DVD RW.
-- Primary IDE Slave Not Detected,
-- IDE Configuration is RAID (OnBoard Serial-ATA BOOTROM is Disabled.)

Any ideas on how I can make the system boot from the hard drive instead of
trying the DVD/CD?

My hardware consists of:

ASUS P5LD2 ACPI Bios Revision 0901 motherboard
Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz dual-core
NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-RW
2 x 512 Corsair 667 DDR2 RAM
2 x 80G Western Digital SATA HD configured in RAID 0
ASUS EN6600 graphics card
Antec case
Targus keyboard
Belkin 3-button optical mouse

Thanks!

Problem with starting the installation

[Petar Petrovic]

I've got the following problem:
I have a hard drive where I intend to install FreeBSD set up as a 
primary master, and one CD/DVD drive set up as a secondary master. When 
I start the FreeBSD (version 6.0) installation, I choose standard 
installation, install Boot Manager (because I have Windows XP on another 
partition), set up partitions and when I choose to start the 
installation from a CD, I get the following error:

Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5)
What is the problem and how can I solve it?

Compiling samba3 port on 6.1

[Tom Moore]

Hi guys.
I'm trying to build the samba3 port and this is what I get after I select
the options I want in the config screen that asks if I want active directory
support, ldap support, etc.
Broken IPC and code.
Anybody know what this means?

You would be well advised to upgrade to the latest phpMyAdmin, which is
version 2.8.1, and is in the current ports. There are a number of security
problems that affect many earlier versions.  If you look at the list of
security announcements at http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php
then with version 2.6.1pl3 you're potentially vulnerable to anything announced
after PMASA-2005-1

I have a vague memory that I've seen something like this mentioned as a
bugfix in the release notes for phpMyAdmin, but I can't put my finger on
exactly where.  You can see the release notes for most phpMyAdmin versions
here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23067&package_id=16462

but the formatting is all wrong before the 2.8.x series.

Cheers,

Matthew

This is another guess... Probably because DRM is a Linux thing, or at
least got it's start in Linux and then was ported to BSD There are
comments in the source code you can read to tell you whats what.

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer

[Per olof Ljungmark]

HP ProLiant ML150, 6.1-STABLE, problem have persisted since 6.0-STABLE
Stops responding every one-two weeks, requires power cycling
Server is remote but went to see it today and the following message was 
printed on console repeatedly:

"swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 52, size: 4096"

Searching the list did not return a definitive answer, did not find a PR 
either.


Nothing logged
AFAIK the system hardly swaps at all

Is there a workaround for this? Should I assume it's a hw problem? 
Change DMA mode? Disable ACPI? Change to a scsi disk for system? I could 
accept slower performance if a tradeoff is required.

Instead of specifying your IP, try letting dhcp take care of this for you (as 
you do with kde below).  Add the following to /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_ural0="DHCP"

Then, ifconfig ural0 up will invoke dhcp to configure everything for you, 
including your gateway and routing table.  You may also want to look at your 
routing table to see what's going on:

# netstat -nr

And flush the table if things go wrong with:

# netstat flush

I have to do this when moving from a wired connection to a wireless connection 
in order to reset my default route (gateway).  Btw, I use FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE 
-- I found 5.4 wireless to be a bit flaky...

Setting HZ to 100 should eliminate ~900
unnecessary context switches per second.

Nope.  Show processlist confirms that I'm logged in as [EMAIL PROTECTED],

 SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED];

Just using 'config' mode, user root so far; thought I'd tighten it up
properly for outside access after getting it doing some useful work!

Think I'll start again with the installed config.  I really can't recall
if this problem was there since installation, but as mentioned all other
import/export, create/drop/copy database/table, adding rows etc all just
works well so far, excepting edit/delete availability on browse. 

Thanks Matthew,

Problem with BCM4306 driver

[Atanas Atanasov]

I have a HP nx6110 laptop, and decided to install FreeBSD 6.1. Quite
frankly I am surprised by the power and fine design this system has.
This is definitely a better server than linux. I am a complete newbie
in BSD, so please excuse me if my question sounds very stupid.

I am trying to make my integrated wireless card Broadcom 4306 work.
Since there are no native drivers I adopted the ndis approach. Howevet
there seem to be two ways to do this, one is using ndiscvt and the
other with ndisgen. I tried both but none worked:

1. USING ndiscvt
I copied the driver to /sys/modules/if_ndis, and then:
# ndiscvt -i BCMWL5A.INF -s BCMWL5.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.h
# make && make install
# kldload ndis && kldload if_ndis
However I am not seeing the interface when run ifconfig. It behaves as
if nothig is there. I also tried to recompile ndis & if_ndis from
their sources in /usr/src/sys/modules but nothing worked. The adapter
simple does not appear. However when I run pciconf -lv I see the pci
card.

2. USING ndisgen
I copied the drivers to the same folder and run ndisgen BCMWL5.INF
BCMWL5.SYS. Everything goes ok but I get an error in the last step
when I try to compile it. Then I tried to redirect the output if
ndisgen to a pipe and it miracolously generated a file BCMWL5_SYS.
This I copied to /boot/kernel and loaded ndis, if_ndis, BCMWL5_SYS.
However again the adapter does not appear in ifconfig.

I cannot see what is going wrong, because I just followed some HOWTOs
that appear in the FreeBSD Handbook (of ndiscvt) and some other forum
(about ndisgen). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, KPackage. 

It is part of the kdeadmin port under sysutils/kdeadmin3. There is also 
Portbrowser under sysutils/portbrowser.

Re: Missing devs...

[Aren Olvalde Tyr]

Hi
> So now to my question! How do I avoid this dual mounting?

I have the same problem with my memory card reader. 

The necessary da1s1 device node slice for my SD memory card is not created 
until after it has been probed during the attempt to mount it. The only 
exception to this is if the card is already inserted when the system first 
boots up.

Presumably there must be a way to automatically probe the USB device/card and 
create the slice so you can mount it when it is first inserted?

I am wondering if /etc/usbd.conf would be of assistance here. Can you get the 
usbd daemon to automatically "probe" a device for filesystem slices during 
the "attach" stage?

Re: Strange pauses and cpu usage - FreeBSD 6.1

[Shawn]

OK, so I was using top to monitor what was going on inside the system
and I noticed that it was in fact xorg taking up all the cpu, no matter
what program actually was causing it. I searched around for nvidia
xorg.conf settings and found a few things.

I recompiled my kernel without agp and put the following in xorg.conf:

Option "NvAGP" "1"

And this has solved the problem completely. I have always used the
built in agp support when using linux (agpgart?) but doing this has
cured the ill mouse behaviour completely, and boosted glxgears a few
hundred fps.

Again, thanks for all the help!

CVS is a version control system.  It's often used to control software

It directs both stdout and stderr to /dev/null.  Look in 'man bash', or
any tutorial on bash for a more detailed description.  Quite confusing
syntax, and a hard-to-remember incantation, IMHO.

Take a look at http://www.hotscripts.com there is a lot of stuff in there for 
dealing with multiple users (some commercial, some not). Ultimately if you're 
doing that level of hosting you'll probably want something like cpanel, but 
cpanel itself is very pricey.

Problem with BCM4306 driver

[Atanas Atanasov]

I have a HP nx6110 laptop, and decided to install FreeBSD 6.1. Quite
frankly I am surprised by the power and fine design this system has.
This is definitely a better server than linux. I am a complete newbie
in BSD, so please excuse me if my question sounds very stupid.

I am trying to make my integrated wireless card Broadcom 4306 work.

-Grant

The standard stream stdout has the assigned number 1, and the stderr has 
number 2. The >/dev/null redirects stdout to /dev/null and 2>&1 means 
redirecting stderr to stdout, so it goes to /dev/null as well.

It redirects error output (aka standard error, stderr) to the same place 
as standard output (aka stout), in this case, the bit bucket. 


man sh, or any basic Unix book worth it's salt.

I tried switching to ULE and while the sound skipping seems to have
stopped, the other problems remain.

vmstat -i gives me:

interrupt  total   rate
irq0: clk  69873984
irq7: ppc0 2  0
irq8: rtc   8944125
irq10: atapci0++2409 33
irq11: nvidia0++5264 74
irq12: pcm0 rl0+  41  0
irq15: ata1   47  0
Total  86580   1219

So it seems that net and sound are sharing irq12, and just before i
see the freeBSD bootloader i can see that irq12 is used for the usb
controller. Is this my problem? I have no irq settings in the
BIOS and i tried a device hint for pcm to move it up to irq13 but had no
luck.

Forgive me if I am missing something obvious somewhere along the line,
I only started using freeBSD a few weeks ago and I am totally new to
BSD in general.

Thanks for the help!

thanks - i've been using for a few days diablo-jdk with no problems this far. I
reinstalled all my java programs after changing from jdk-1.4 to
diablo-jdk-1.5... i dont remember having to change libmap for azureus... but I
have added :

## diablo-jdk
libz.so.2   libz.so.3
libpthread.so.1 libpthread.so
libc.so.5   libc.so.6
libm.so.3   libm.so
libstdc++.so.4  libstdc++.so

I think it may have been for 'java'

Wireless internet connetction issues

[andreas Sotirakopoulos]

Hi
I have(?) an internet connetction issue... I have a router connected to a 
windows box downstaires (Lynksis wAG354G) and i use a wirelless usb adapter 
(Lynksis WUSB54G). It works fine under windows and even if some times the 
signal is lost usually it comes back by either moving the antenna a little or 
by restarting the network configuration tool. In FreeBSD the adapter is 
visible and uses ural0 driver. So if give the command 
ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.1.65 netmask 255.255.255.0 but i cannot connect to 
the internet or "see" the windows box. 
Now comes the strange part. if i press ifconfig ural0 i get:

ural0: flags=108843 mtu 
1500
        inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe81:881a%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:12:17:81:88:1a
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid linksys channel 11 bssid 00:14:bf:cb:71:32
        authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100
but still i cannot connect to web pages or ping hosts.  I use KDE 3.5 and i do 
the following: 
from the Kmenu ->settings->internet and Network-> Network settings and on the 
card Network interfaces i see that there is only onde availiable interface 
fxp0 dhcp Disabled Ethernet Network Device. I know that this is my ethernet 
onboard card but if i choose Enable Interface i can connect to the 
internet!! I assume that something runs in the background that enables as 
well my wireless card but what is this?
So what's the problem you may ask... the problem is that in case that my 
connection is lost i cannot do anything to get it back up. 

i  have tried dhclient ural0 and nothing happents same with ifconfig ural0 
up...
I have to reboot and do the procudure again and the problem is that it fails 
often if i leave the net for a while... 

Any ideas?
thanks

Re: OT: Torn between SCSI and SATA for RAID

[Ian Jefferson]

I'd rather run 5 SATA cables then one SCSI cable (say 68pin) with  
multiple heads...   The darn SCSI cables are so thick,  
comparatively, that running them in your case is a lot harder :-)





Well everyone's mileage may vary.  Parallel cables only work nicely  
when you have a stack of drives all close & lined up together.  I  
personally yearn for a simple 40gbps daisychainable serial bus.  I  
hoped firewire would have been it but we seem to be stuck at 800mpbs.


The other cabling option I forgot about is USB2 or Firewire.

There are a number of very low cost external cases that pre-package  
USB/Firewire SATA converters.  You basically fill a hard disk case  
with SATA or ATA drives and connect your computer to the case via a  
single firewire or USB cable.  I have not seen one of these that's  
hot swap yet but I did see a few of these recently in Tokyo Akihabara  
district for ~$100 so I assume they are available all over.  The  
box's I have seen are 4 drive systems.  Just fill them with your  
favorite commodity hard disk I guess.


At ~50MB/s the interface is plenty fast and greatly simplifies the  
cable issue inside the PC.

What is the UID *within* MySQL you are using to connect with?  Does
running:

SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;

make things any clearer?

phpMyAdmin is clever enough to modify its user interface according to what
the user has permission to do to the database.  The user name use within the
database depends on how you've configured phpMyAdmin -- I generally like to
use 'cookie' mode authentication where the username and password are passed
straight through to MySQL from the login dialog, but the 'config' mode given
in the example config files requires you to put the username and password
directly in the phpMyAdmin configuration file. 

Cheers,

Matthew

This would only be possible if the protocols your users used to connect
to your server included the name of the server they wanted to connect to
in the data packets setting up the connection.  That is the case in eg.
HTTP/1.1 and it sort of applies to SMTP.  However, those are pretty much
the exceptions rather than the rule.  Most network protocols just have
the IP and port number of the service they want to connect to.

So long as you can arrange for each instance of a given service to
run on a distinct port number, you can use the standard NAT type functions
in pf(4) or ipfw(8)+natd(8) to hide a whole private network of servers
behind a single IP number.  You can also use this on a single server
with jail(8) by binding the jailed IPs to the loopback interface, and
using NAT on the external interface to rewrite the addresses on incoming
traffic. NAT is generally used in the other direction though -- to let a
private network access the Internet.

If you can use protocols where the name of the server is included in the
data payload, you will need to set up some sort of proxy server on your
firewall to direct the traffic internally.  Standard firewall stuff just
looks at the packet headers (layer 2 or 3) and you need extra software to
do protocol (layer 4) dependent processing.  It is a toss up as to whether
suitable software will be available for whatever services you wish to provide.

Cheers,

Matthew
