Linksys router and ssh time outs ...
I just put a linksys router in place, so that we could use our wireless laptop, well, wireless ... now, I seem to be getting timeouts on my ssh connections when they are idle, but timeouts that I never received when I had my desktop directly connected to the cable modem ... I've looked at the settings for the Linksys, and can't find anything that might be related ... is there some keepalive that the linksys might be blocking, or something else that I can do to keep the connection from dropping?

usb storage device mounting problems
Hi all, I got some problems with mounting my usb device. I did all the stuff according to point 9.22 in the FreeBSD FAQ, but I still cannot mount my usb storage key (a sandisk cruzer mini 256 MB) as an ordinary user, without having to change the group owner as a root. Adding the needed lines to devfs.conf doesn't seem to help in retaining the settings across multiple reboots. I run FreeBSD-stable 6.1 in /etc/sysctl.conf I added: vfs.usermount=1 I added to my etc/devfs.conf the following lines: own /dev/da0s1 root:usb perm/dev/da0s1 0666 I added myself, the ordinary user to the group usb and checked if that worked out by doing id $myusername: uid=1002($myusername) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1002(usb), 1004(cvs) so I am in the group usb, and if everything went allright, also the folder /dev/da0s1 should now owned by the group usb.

Re: HD Errors
OK, It's a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB ATA/133 hard drive (EIDE). It's in a Dell Dimension P133v. I also have a Dell Optiplex GX1 which only supports a hard drive of 80 GB max.

For ssh1, you need to tweak the system timers on either the server or client system; this is of course system-dependent. ClientAlive* are ssh protocol keepalives: the server and the client exchange encrypted messages to test and maintain the connection. This is more useful than tcp keepalives in some applications. Checkout man 5 sshd_config and look for ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax. might be worth playing with. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tamouh Hello Robert, Please don't top post. It is difficult for someone joining the conversation to understand what is going on and to help. Have you taken Tamouh's advice and backed up your data? If not, do it now! Regarding size: What size differences do you see? Maxtor's diagnostics, BIOS, dmesg, fdisk, etc? I doubt this is your problem. Cables: Be sure you've got good and proper cables, that the drive's jumper is set appropriately to master or slave (and not to Auto), that both ends are tight as is the power cable. Heat: Does the drive feel extraordinarily hot? If so, replace it now! Does FreeBSD eventually boot and run? I.e., does it get past resettings of the hard drive ad0? If so, then you should definitely run the more exhaustive diagnostics. (Do this AFTER you are sure of your cabling and AFTER your backup.) Given your problem, I wouldn't put too much faith in the quick diagnostics. You could try refreshing your drive: dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m I notice the whole bus ata0 reset a couple times. Do you have another drive that you can put into that machine and see if you get the same errors? If so, you may just need to give up on that board. You could see if Dell has diagnostics for your P133v, and if they do, run them. Most likely the errors you see in dmesg are occuring on most reads and writes, and hence your performance is going to be bad. It will also get worse whether it is the bus or the drive. If you can't find and fix your problem, make sure your backups are frequent... Do you have a small slice on your 120G drive that you could devote to Red Hat (or Fedora)? If so, and if it gives similar error messages, then Dell support would help you.

Does anyone have any ideas? The FreeBSD community has my appreciation for all of its help on this matter. Based on the number of problems associated with this issue (there's this thread, the aforementioned Mac thread, and the cups 1.2 - no output thread), would it be worthwhile to create a new Port named cups-devel (keeping the 1.2.x codebase) and downgrade the existing cups to the latest 1.1.x version until the bugs have been ironed out on the 1.2.x branch (or at least adding an entry to /usr/ports/ UPDATING to warn those updating)? Would 1.2.1 fix these issues (that is the current stable version whereas FreeBSD's CUPS is at 1.2.0), or perhaps the 1.3svn branch? I am unsure where the current problems lay (on the CUPS side, on how it is installed in the FreeBSD environment, or on the FreeBSD environment itself). Earlier in this thread, the issues were primarily related with permissions (since, it was mentioned, CUPS is trying to run with a more reasonable set of permissions instead of via 'root'), but now they appear to be configuration specific.

Re: CUPS, USB printers Permission Denied

Normally I haven't got any problems. The printer is a HL-1430 connected to USB and the error I got was: 'Unable to open USB device usb:/dev/unlpt0 Permission Denied.' Now I don't know if this is relevant in any way. After trying all kinds of solutions I finally decided to simply do chmod 777 /dev/ unlpt0, and that solved the problem. Hello Rico, Thank you for your reply. Your workaround may only work until you reboot your machine and /dev/unlpt0 is re-permission'd. To make that fix more permanent, you will need to add the following to your /etc/ devfs.rules file (feel free to modify the 0660 to something more of your liking). [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups And, add the following to your /etc/rc.conf file. devfs_system_ruleset=system These were outlined earlier on in this thread. Do you have other computers that network print to your printer (and if so, does network printing work for you)? Thank you for your reply. Best and kind regards, Rico On Jun 29, 2006, at 6:51 PM, Jan-Espen Pettersen wrote: I just tried /dev/unltp0 and I have the same issues. Basically, I killed all of the jobs, made your change, submitted a test page, watched as nothing happened (it didn't display any messages in the web interface), did a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart, killed the test page, then resubmitted one, and then it mentioned the USB busy will retry in 30 seconds line. I reattached my error_log for today's activities. I will be on the road for the better part of a week, so I will try to help out as much as I can given the circumstances. Thank you everyone for your assistance with this. I found that the usb backend stalled here before actually doing any work. Before I've done any actual debugging of the backend, I suspect that it is being blocked on a status read attempt, though this is only my current guess. Here is a workaround: In printers.conf () you will probably find a line like this: DeviceURI usb:/dev/ulpt0 change usb: to file:, so that it looks something like this: DeviceURI file:/dev/ulpt0 Then restart cups. Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print.

FreeBSD Installation CD Creation
I'm having a tough time creating the two 6.1-release installation CD's. I was told that it was best to go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/ and download the 6.1 RELEASE disc1 and disc2 ISO images in Windows, and use your favorite toaster to rip CDs. (My CD 'toaster' is Nero OEM 6.6.0.13.) Then boot from disc1 to install. When I attempt to do this, it's like the CD is either empty or unreadable. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this 4 times now and it's a bit frustrating. I have the .ISO files in my recycle bin. Is there a way for me to convert them to CD images from which I can boot my Windows XP system and install FreeBSD in my available 20 GB primary partition?

SO Woes
1. I use to have the GCC 4.2 port installed, but since it perpetually failed to compile anything, I removed it. But now, some of the ports that it did compile now complain about a missing libgcc_s.so.1. How can I find all these ports (I know I can change them with make install clean FORCE_PKG_VERSION)? 2. When I try to change my screensaver in KDE, I get the message Shared object libm.so.3 not found, required by libGL.so.1 And some other KDE programs like Krita and KPovModeler won't start, which I guess is due to the same problem. ldconfig -s lists only libm.so.4.

FreeBSD 6.1 rl interface
Dear People, I'm hoping to upgrade from FreeBSD 4.6.1 on a Pentium II to FreeBSD 6.1 on a P5 3.2GHz. Of course, I'm doing a fresh install on the new system. There's been some annoyances - Openoffice.org is still at 1.1.5 rather than 2.0 on the release, and KDE desn't seem to want to run screen savers, sound does not work, etc, etc. I am working through these. But the killer is that I want to run 2 ethernet interfaces. The on-board one is fxp0 (Intel) and comes up fine. The other is a PCI card with the RealTek 8139D chipset, so I'm expecting a rl0 interface. I've put if_rl_load=YES into the /boot/loader.conf filem but the system does not seem to like it, giving me the message failed to register: 17 at module load time, and then no driver attached at bring-up-interface time. /var/log/messages extract is as follows: - Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:42:56 UTC 2006 Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: module_register: module pci/rl already exists!

Re: FreeBSD Installation CD Creation
