Thanks! Try -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112. The macro _C99_SOURCE is for pure C99 code and _ANSI_SOURCE for C90 code. Both don't include the header.

ftpd configuration
I wanted to set the user default directory chroot'ed for ftp-session. So, I created user/group: "user1/group1", and wrote the following lines to the configuration fles: - /etc/ftpusers: user1:group1 allow chroot - /etc/ftpchroot user1:group1 allow - /etc/ftpd.conf chroot allow /usr/home/user1/FTP_DIR I successfully logged in to the ftp as a "user1", and then used "pwd" and got: /usr/home/user1 So, I logged in as a real user, without "chroot". I would highly appreciate, if someone explained me what was wrong with my configuration. The home directory and below are with "ugo=rwx" access rights. I use FreeBSD 6.1. Many thanks to all!

Looking through src/usr.sbin/pciconf/pciconf.c, it looks as though pciconf only translates the chip= for what it displays. The DOS-based PCI identification code that I've worked with in the past typically referred "chip" as "device", and "card" as "sub-device"... Internally, pciconf uses the same references (snipped from the printf statement): (p->pc_subdevice << 16) | p->pc_subvendor, (p->pc_device << 16) | p->pc_vendor, The aforementioned DOS utilities used to display lookups for both (where appropriate); I vaguely recall coming to the conclusion that the sub-device bit was not mandatory, but someone with more knowledge of the ins and outs of the PCI specs may be able to state that more definitively... In short, the "chip" field from pciconf looks like the most important one.. the rev/hdr fields are less important for our needs - as far as I'm aware they're generally used to denominate hardware revisions, so as vendors revise their PCB layouts and components, they can be easily differentiate between them -- this is most important when you're a driver, trying to figure out what how you should treat a specific device... The card one may fall into a "nice-to-know" but not necessary.. For the above, vendor *should* be Aopen Inc, not Realtek Semiconductor ... 'k, so, for the above: card=0x0027a0a0 - Aopen Inc (A0A0) chip=0x813910ec - Realtek Semiconductor (10EC) - 8139RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter (8139) And the 0027 is actually meaningless in this case ... So in your case, it's a Realtek 8139 adapter, most likely as part of an AOpen motherboard or add-in card... So, what I'm looking for is vendor->device, but in some card= cases, there won't be a 'Device' listed ... As to class= ... what table am I supposed to be seeing at that URL? The class= line is a combination of two fields (the same as chip and card are a combination of vendor and device fields) -- the class, and subclass, of the device. The URL http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/pci/pci.c#L1340 shows the C source for this table that's used to match them up... for instance: CLASS SUBCLASSDESCRIPTION {PCIC_NETWORK, -1, "network"}, {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_ETHERNET, "ethernet"}, {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_TOKENRING, "token ring"}, {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_FDDI, "fddi"}, {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_ATM, "ATM"}, {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_ISDN, "ISDN"}, The first line of the above defines the "network" device class; then it defines several of the sub-classes of class "network"... ethernet, token ring, etc. These are defined here: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/pci/pcireg.h#L218 So this line: {PCIC_NETWORK, PCIS_NETWORK_ETHERNET, "ethernet"}, actually reads: {0x02, 0x00, "ethernet"}, So our class line: class=0x02 Is made up of 2 hex digits for the device class, and 4 hex digits for the device sub-class...

IP broadcasts
Hello, I've been playing around with IP packets tonight, and I've noticed a peculiar behaviour in FreeBSD that I can't explain. Can someone provide some insight? Specifically, I've been sending IP packets to broadcast addresses, once to 10.0.0.255, which is the local subnet's broadcast address, and once to 255.255.255.255, which as I understand it, is a general broadcast address. The first broadcast (to 10.0.0.255) works, the second (to 255.255.255.255) doesn't. Looking at it with tcpdump on the sending machine, I see this: 05:46:52.057994 00:12:17:5a:b3:b6 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 136: 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.255: ip-proto-255 102 05:47:16.472315 00:12:17:5a:b3:b6 > 00:40:63:d9:a9:28, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 136: 10.0.0.1 > 255.255.255.255: ip-proto-255 102 In other words, the packet to 10.0.0.255 is has a destination MAC address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, so all machines on the subnet receive it. The second packet has the destination MAC of my gateway, so only that machine receives it, the other machines on the net don't see it (the ethernet uses a switch). Things work as expected when sending the packets from a Linux machine. Maybe there's some socket option or sysctl I need to set? Cheers Benjamin pgpfiAPFRsTKa.pgp Description: PGP signature

Why not doing the parsing on the server? Is there a limit on the size of an HTTP GET request? If not, the output of pciconf -v can fit in one single request, done. And limiting the number of requests, you also limit the amount of data xfered.

Email may be a viable alternative -- one concern with email is that various organisations SMTP servers blast their own disclaimer message and so on across the bottom of all out-going emails, which might complicate parsing of it on the server end. If you're only encoding purely the numeric details, this would make the information far lighter to transmit than having the whole text blurb. Just the pciconf -l version as-is: ~$ pciconf -l|wc -c 1545 So that's ~1500 bytes.

With that amount of information, you'd probably be more inclined to want to use HTTP POST than HTTP GET. A quick glance suggests libfetch(3) doesn't support this; I haven't looked at the code enough to see if adding support for it would be trivial or not. 899 bytes * (10^7) = 8.37258995 gigabytes...

Differences in LCD's are digital vs analog, some do both. Digital is preferred if your video will support it. The contrast ratio: 300:1, 500:1, 600:1, 1000:1, etc. More is better in contrast. Last is the update speed in ms. You want faster update speeds when given a choice. The update speed effects how crisp the image is when changing, say viewing a video of gaming, but even in regular refreshing of the screen. -Derek At 04:58 PM 8/2/2006, dick hoogendijk wrote: Two LCD screens.

Now, when I try to build the azureus port, it also tries to build jdk1.4.2 because log4j depends on that port. How can I get the ports system to use the installed jdk instead of building 1.4.2? I am using freebsd 6.1-release. Regards Gautham log4j doesn't specify a java version, so it should work with any. azureus, however, is a little more specific and might be the culprit. You might be able to fix it by setting one of the java knobs in make.conf, but since I don't have diablo installed, I couldn't tell you which one to set. :( Check /usr/local/etc/javavms to see which java VMs are installed and how javavmwrapper refers to diablo, maybe we can figure it out from that.

If you're only encoding purely the numeric details, this would make the information far lighter to transmit than having the whole text blurb. Just the pciconf -l version as-is: ~$ pciconf -l|wc -c 1545 So that's ~1500 bytes. Now strip out all the unnecessary text - the class=, card=, chip=, rev=, hdr=, extra spaces... something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5:0: 01 34358086 00301000 08 00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5:1: 01 34358086 00301000 08 00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:4:0: 02 10798086 10798086 03 00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:4:1: 02 10798086 10798086 03 00 ~$ cat pciconf-stripped | wc -c 899 We've nearly halved the size of the information. Now it's still in ASCII, so you could further shave bits off by converting that to binary if you wanted to... With that amount of information, you'd probably be more inclined to want to use HTTP POST than HTTP GET.

kdebase upgrading bug - help and opinion needed
I am having problem upgrading kdebase from 3.4 to 3.5 on FreeBSD-6.0-release. I followed the instructions on /usr/ports/UPDATING For convenience, I post the instructions here: - 20060108: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, deskutils/superkaramba, x11-themes/kde-windeco-smoothblend, irc/kvirc, editors/vimpart AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A number of files have been moved from kdebase to kdelibs between KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.0 and some applications which used to be distributed separately from KDE have been included in the release. This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to update your KDE installation without interruptions. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo) . 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \ kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase -- I followed them and, after step 3, the system complained of "bad C++ code". Please help me assess the severity of this: 1) Have you seen this? Have you had this problem? 2) Do you understand this? 3) Do you have a solution or a suggestion for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

VISA CISP
Hi all I'm turning to this list as well to inquire about the VISA-CISP http://usa.visa.com/business/accepting_visa/ops_risk_management/cisp.html We are looking for someone to host our new site and the vendor told me due to VISA's new security the fee for a dedicated server would be 500 U$D per month. I'm pretty oblivious in the web hosting world , but that seems VERY high. FYI This is what our website needs to support Here is what we need: - PHP 4.4+ or 5+ - MySQL 4.1+ or greater - Apache 1.3+ with mod_rewrite enabled - Linux-based - SSL certificate for www.familycareintl.org - Support for configurable automated tasks (i.e,. cron jobs) (*) PHP must have the mcrypt module enabled. It should ideally be set up to run as an Apache module, not a CGI module (however, this is not a requirement). We must be able to send mail using PHP's mail() function, which requires a functioning mail server. In order to accommodate the size of uploads that FCI wants, we'll need PHP configured to accept file uploads of up to 60 MB. I think that's about it.

Re: binary upgrade issues
Wow, I did not expect Colin's direct reply - and so prompt! Thanks, and great to know binary updates will be foreseeable. I actually already did it again, since it doesn't make sense to binary upgrade all those source files, I renamed /usr/src to something else, and this greatly reduced the number of files for fetching to 435 ones. The old error message is gone (it's a fairly new and high quality server). It was eventless until to the following: Installing new kernel into /boot/GENERIC... done. Moving /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.old... done. Moving /boot/GENERIC to /boot/kernel... done. Removing schg flag from existing files... Then my connection to the server froze and I found the server rebooted itself. After login I found it was 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006. Don't know why it rebooted, and my concern it: had it finished upgrading? I looked into the upgrade.sh and found it should continue working on files referred in old-index, new-index-nonkern, new-index. However none of these files were found in the directory. Also I am worried whether the schg flags were recovered. How can I check these? Thank you.

Based on what you pasted below, I suggest 1. Figure out why /usr/bin/gdbtui can't be read. In particular, make sure your hard drive isn't dying. 2. The error which made the script terminate is either due to a dying hard drive or a network problem which made it impossible to fetch some files. Re-run the script; it won't bother fetching files which it already has. Note that at this point all the script has done is to examine your system and download files; it won't start actually upgrading anything until it makes sure that it has all the files it needs. :-) > I also wonder why these binary update and upgrade are not legitimized > in the freebsd core distribution.

I find updating linux to be the most god awful prospect on earth which is why I switched to FreeBSD for the most part. It's probably gotten a lot better since Redhat 7.x which is what I was using. Gentoo is a lot better but I haven't had a working system since they updated the kernel to xx.xx.15 and put gcc 4.x into the base system... but to each their own, I know a binary update would be nice when I start deploying things like desktopbsd on my friends PCs who don't get formatting a harddrive let alone building software. However this would mean the builds would have to be generic i586, i686 and on an old p3 500mhz machine building for a specific processor with specific optimizations can make a huge difference in performance. Even more so on p2 166 machines. Again to each their own. But I wouldn't tout Microsoft update as a good thing becuase there are known bugs where updates can erase previously updated code with old buggy code... sorry been a long day had to end it with blasting microsloth... -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Stand up and be counted - BSDStats Project
Okay, there has been alot of discussion on this in the other thread, some of it tangent'd to the original, so, I'm starting off a new thread as a sort of summary ... I've been doing some thinking on it this afternoon, and think I've figured out about the simpliest way of doing it ... it still doesn't deal with "fakers" and such, but, IMHO, I don't think that that is a *huge* problem that needs to be addressed ... some might do it for a lark, but, overall, it just sounds like something that is "more worth then its worth", so over time, it should eventually balance out ... Now, the idea is to make this: a) run on as many boxes as possible b) not require any special software to be installed on the clients c) not require any special "registration" by the clients d) not pull any "sensitive" information So, here is what I've kinda got it down to ... pseudo-ish code, since I haven't got the exact syntax worked out *yet* ... specifically, parsing pciconv to get query strings out of it ... Now, this is designed to be run *once* per month, per host ... it is also meant to try, to a certain extent, deal with NAT boxes ... its not perfect, but, unfortunately, as this whole discussion has shown, there really is no "perfect" way ... STEP 1: fetch -o /tmp/getid http://bsdstats.hub.org/get_id.php get_id.php will look at the IP that is coming in, search the database, and if a host already exist, will increment by 1 and return a new id ... all IPs will have at least one: IP:1 pair in the database, NAT hosts will have IP:2, IP:3, IP:4, etc ... STEP 2: pciconf -lv needs to be parsed, this being the hard step, into a string that can be sent via HTTP ... this is the hard part because it has to be done as/in a shell script ... anyone out there *really* good at shell programming? What needs to happen is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:2: class=0x060400 card=0x0044 chip=0x032a8086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '6700PXH PCI Express-to-PCI Express Bridge B' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI Needs to be converted into: device=pcib&vendor=Intel+Corporation&device=6700PXH+PCI+Express-to-PCI+Express+Bridge+B&class=bridge&subclass=PCI-PCI So that the final query would look something like: fetch http://bsdstats.hub.org/report.php?id=`cat /tmp/getid`&device=pcib&vendor=Intel+Corporation&device=6700PXH+PCI+Express-to-PCI+Express+Bridge+B&class=bridge&subclass=PCI-PCI So there would be one 'fetch' per device listed ... report.php would take the IP:getid pair, and store one record per device into the database, from which stats could be very easily generated using standard SQL queries ... STEP 3: fetch http://bsdstats.hub.org/report_sys.php?id=`cat /tmp/getid`&system=`uname -mr | sed 's/\ /+/g'` To record the FreeBSD version ... I personally don't think there is anything else useful / non-sensitive that we'd want to report on ... Now, the idea is that this would be dump'd into /etc/periodic/monthly, and /etc/defaults/periodic.conf would have: monthly_statistics_enable="YES" monthly_statistics_report_pciconf="YES" Optimally, we'd love to have everyone report pciconf information, since knowing what vendors and devices are in use would definitely add more weight then *just* what version of FreeBSD, but in order to hopefully get as much "buy into" this as possible, the script should be written to allow it to be disabled ... again, I can't think of why someone would feel that that was 'sensitive information', but providing the option to shut it off is definitely a must ...

Then use maybe a tr (translate I think its tr, never really used the command) to change things like Vendor: foobar in the pciconf -lv output to Vendor: foorbar Hardware: RAID controller or whatever XML tags you want to use using the acutal output data from pciconf -lv as a starting point take this tagged file and insert it into a properly defined XML file with the header defined and a proper root tag like [standard XML header info, may be system specific based on encoding and what not] making tr work line by line with exception handling for all the tags it might encounter is something I would have to look into more myself. Then you could write up a CSS or XSLT stylesheet so it will display this information to a webbrowser however your want. Once you have figured out what tags you want to use this shouldn't be too hard. I guess a script file would be the easiest way to accompish all this in hindsight,as all the commands I've used are standard shell commands. Putting it all together is going to take more thought then what I can give it at work right now. The stylesheet could be stored on a central server of your choosing and added to the header for the XML that the script file generates. If this is still not very understandable I will see if I can generate a shell program to get things started. myunderstanding is once the shell is installed it should be runable by anyone with access to pciconf, tr, cat, and maybe a few other commands like date and whatnot for documentation sake; which means any user should be able to run and install the script in their home/bin directory. As far as uploading this file to a database that is beyond the scope of my feable mind, but I don't think it would be too hard to accomplish if someone was more familiar with db or whatever other database you want to store this by. hope this gives you more of an idea as to what I was getting at, hopefully there will be more to come if I figure this thing out; I need to learn how to process XML for a little project I'm working on for a friend anyway. The good thing about this is once in XML I know there are stardard ways of serving the XML file with a webserver for display. What I don't know is how to make it searchable or concatenate all the hardware and what not so you can see a per device status as to its functionality in a particular snapshot of FreeBSD. -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

binary upgrade issues
Hi, I was upgrading following Colin's "FreeBSD 6.0 to FreeBSD 6.1 binary upgrade" http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-6.0-to-6.1/ but it failed. I installed freebsd 6.0 release and only used Colin's freebsd-update to updae before. There is plenty of free space on that partition. What do you advise me to do to finish the upgrade? I also wonder why these binary update and upgrade are not legitimized in the freebsd core distribution. An important reason why linux is used by more is its easy update solution similar to Microsoft's Windows Update. Sure "make world" is fun especially to developers. But providing easy update and upgrade tools in addition will attract a large user base who just need a stable and easy to use operation system - and many of them can be companies who can be potential donors to the freebsd project. So the effort to this path will be well rewarded. Thank you very much! Tony # ./upgrade.sh Examining system... done.

I have an Acer Aspire 1600 laptop with a RealTek 8139 integrated network card. The card is not identified at all in neither FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE nor in FreeBSD 5-STABLE, not even in DragonFlyBSD (which is a fork of FreeBSD 5 IIRC). "pciconf -lv" does not report back any information on the card at all. Linux and Windows however can identify the card as "RealTek 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' at 0x1800-0x18ff, Memory: EC005000-EC0050FF, IRQ 19". Since FreeBSD is a lot better for my computing needs, is there a way I can get the above card to work correctly (or even work at all) in FreeBSD? Thanks in advance. Have you compiled miibus support into the kernel? As a sidenote though, if you haven't custom built a kernel it should work straight out of the box. Also if you build ACPI or APM support into your kernel, the IRQ for your ACPI or APM functionality may be the same as the IRQ for your Realtek card; thus if you disable your ACPI and APM support and your Realtek card just starts to work for you, the problem is IRQ based ;). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
conundrum: _C99_SOURCE vs. sigset

The variable's declaration results in an error: recsnap.C:50: error: `RTRString daemon' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/include/stdlib.h:252: error: previous declaration of `int daemon(int, int)' The daemon()'s declaration in stdlib.h can be turned off by declaring either _C99_SOURCE or _ANSI_SOURCE.

Ahhh, your servers don't do a reverse domain name lookup properly... If they're your servers then you should be able to fix that. The Complete FreeBSD has some section on it which is reasonably parsable by humans... (I kid, I kid gotta learn how to do a DNS server myself so it's still a little cryptic to me) If its your ISP I would keep sending them Shame on you messages until they fix it. I know that reverse domain lookup is typcially done to help eliminate spam anyway so you can use that as firepower. if they're using Mircosoft servers it probably won't be able to be fixed anytime soon. At least not until Microsoft starts using standards that don't have their trademark on it... Although if Mac.com is your domain then Mac servers would likely be being used, which means its a variant of BSD anyway and should be just a simple configuration change on their end... -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Problems with MySQL since upgrade
Hi! I finally figured out what was going on. Thanks for the people who gave suggestions. The query I thought was the problem really wasn't -- at some point between 5.0.13 and 5.0.22 a change was introduced which affected inner joins. I had a view which was aggresively created using inner joins (in order to take an EAV-like table and view it as though it were a regular table), and if I tried to do a three table inner join with a view involved, it sat there and entered some kind of loop. This either caused the tables to be locked, and later queries involving these tables were waiting for a freed lock, or eventually the number of open connections / threads climbed too high and all later connections were waiting. I was able to (for now) solve the problem by recreating the view as a realized table which gets rebuilt every hour.

Either that or keep googling X org and PAL TV's. I think it is something with the refresh rates though. Also the H-sync should prolly be 50 hertz locked as this seems to be PAL's standard refresh rate. X might be defaulting to the low end which is causing the flicker. It might help to define the resolution you want the screen to have as well. PAL supports a few different ones at different levels of fidelity. Again X might go to the low end of things to be safe which is just causing the interlacing to occur too slowly and flicker on you. good luck -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

A properly designed DSL/ATM modem or router is not going to allow private IP addresses onto the public internet.

Adding a FreeBSD Gateway on a DSL/ ATM circuit
Aloha, My current problem is that I need to use a box as a FreeBSD 6.* gateway/firewall to the internet protecting an MS box that is in the office for doing a lot of photo work and uploading to servers for the company my wife works with. I was going to use a freesco (Linux)disk /firewall/gateway/router like I have on my single dsl 1.5/384 line. (This is currently what is protecting the MS box on this circuit.) However, the freesco setup does not work as a gateway on the leg of the ATM 5 IP circuit where we want to move the MS box to. I have tried to get it setup and have emailed the freesco lists and apparently no one has accomplished this. I have now built a FreeBSD box with 2 nics to use as a gateway/router/firewall between the single MS box and the internet. ed1 is on the 66.xxx.132.236 leg of the ATM. The defaultgateway on the internet side of the ATM is 66.xxx.132.233. The LAN side of the box ed0 is 192.168.1.1 to which the MS box is directed. ( I am using a test box 192.168.1.29 with FreeBSD 6* in place of the MS box at this point.) I can ping from the gateway box nic to the internet ok. I can ping from the Test box to the Lan side of the gateway box OK. I cant reach the internet thru the gateway. I have read probably 5 howtos from the FreeBSD hand book and elsewhere and none are exactly what I am doing. On FreeBSD Questions list recently there was a similar issue question posted but no body answered the post. It had to do with rc.conf Listing both Nics ifconfig_ed0 =66.xxx.132.236 netmask 255.255.255.248 #inet side ifconfig -ed1=192.168.1.1 netmask 255. 255.255.0 # lan side and gateway_enable="YES" which I have done. At this point I have not attempted a firewall PF or IPFW since I cant reach the internet thru the gateway and I want to understand what is not right with this setup first. If I use: route add -net 192.168.1 .29192.168.1.1 I can no longer ping the Lan side of the gateway from the test box. Can you direct me to or give me a howto on setting this up so I can reach the internet if indeed its possible using a gateway/firewall on the leg of an ATM circuit? Any help would be appreciated.

Problem using tcpdump with tcpshow (from ports) - get errors
Hello For some time now I have been watching tcp dumps by sending them through tcpshow -cooked. (from the ports tree) This has worked quite well on BSD 4.X and also I believe 5.2.1. However, now when I try to do this on a 5.5 or 6.1 server, I get an error. Can anyone help with why I might be getting these errors with later versions of FreeBSD?

Please HELP! > The boot order in BIOS - CD Rom first Statistically, the most common reason for this problem is that the CD was burned incorrectly. Many people accidentally (or without understanding) will burn the .iso file to the CD as a file and not as an _image_. If you throw the CD into your Windows machine and it shows that there is one big file on it, you've made this mistake. If that's the case, you'll need to recreate the CD using the "create CD from image" feature of your burning software. How to do this is different for each software. If it turns out that this is your problem and you can't figure out how to burn the CD correctly, feel free to ask on the list -- I'm sure someone else has used your software and can give you clear instructions. If that isn't your problem, post back and we'll try to find another possible solution. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Sorry my attempt at humor wasn't more obvious. One big difference with an LCD display vs CRT is that one should purchase the LCD with the resolution one intends to run. Most can autosync and fake other resolutions but the LCD is a fixed matrix so nothing but its native resolution will look right. If display drivers properly understand DPI then in theory they can compensate but most often graphics are hardcoded X/Y and display a fixed pixel size no matter the DPI. A laptop with high numerical LCD resolution isn't necessarily more desirable than one with same size display but lower resolution. When shopping for 17" and 19" LCDs I have noticed most have the same numerical resolution. Think my home 19" is a Dell FP1905 at 1280x1024. Now discontinued in favor of the FP1907 which many do not like as well as the '05. My biggest complaint is that its dimmest setting is maybe a touch brighter than my preference. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
NDISulate, Win32 driver & centrino exploits
Hi everyone, I was reading this: http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1535&rss and http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-023068.htm My question is how is a FreeBSD box with NDISulator, or a linux box with ndiswrapper, affected by these exploits? I'm guessing that since linux and FreeBSD don't execute pe files, and their api's are probably similar that I can *lump* them together in my question. If that's not the case, I apologize...and in turn don't really care about the linux side of my question. I don't write code, so I don't know how all that works. I have FreeBSD on my Dell D600. I would use ndisulator, and the windows driver because there's no support for the 2200BG under FreeBSD. Or is there, and I'm missing something??? Apparently, from at least the 1st of the three exploits noted on the intel site above, the vulnerability exists in the windows driver. A cracker could exploit the vulnerabilities which could "potentially lead to remote code execution and system control." Appreciate any insight anyone has on this.

Re: 17" or 19"
You need to compare more than just the resolution. Differences in LCD's are digital vs analog, some do both. Digital is preferred if your video will support it. The contrast ratio: 300:1, 500:1, 600:1, 1000:1, etc. More is better in contrast. Last is the update speed in ms. You want faster update speeds when given a choice. The update speed effects how crisp the image is when changing, say viewing a video of gaming, but even in regular refreshing of the screen. -Derek At 04:58 PM 8/2/2006, dick hoogendijk wrote: Two LCD screens. Both have the same resolution (1280x1024) The 19" is $100 more expensive as the 17" What would to your opinions be the right thing to do. Go for the 17" or the larger (but probably a little less crystal sharp) 19" one. I'm not that rich.

You can see an example of this on the first graph at http://www.iozone.org .

Re: install 6.1-release through serial terminal?
Am 27.07.2006 um 09:17 schrieb Tyler Spivey: Hello. I'm a blind user, and was wondering how to get 6.1-release to install over serial. I've tried everything - hitting option 6, space, boot -h , but nothing happens. unplugging the keyboard, nothing happens. hitting space and typing boot -h - nothing. This is using a cdrom disc1. Any help would be appreciated. When the boot menu appears, exit out of it by typing 6. At the loader prompt, enter set console="comconsole" The console should switch to COM1; then you should be able to boot using the "boot" command. You can change the speed of the serial port by setting comconsole_speed to the desired baud rate. The loader man page has more info on these two variables: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ man.cgi?query=loader&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1- RELEASE&format=html After having finished the install, you can use the same method to temporarily switch to the comconsole on first boot. Then, you probably want to a a file /boot.config with a single line "-Dh" to enable dual console (video+serial). Also useful: if you decide to install FreeBSD's master boot record (boot0) in sector 0 of your disk (that gives you the opportunity to select which of the foour primary partitions to boot from by pressing F1 to F4), there's also a variant that works over the serial console. You can put this on using FreeBSD boot0cfg(8): http://www.freebsd.org/ cgi/man.cgi?query=boot0cfg&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1- RELEASE&format=html HTH, Stefan -- Stefan Bethke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fon +49 170 346 0140 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The traditional Unix approach is with file permissions: see the FreeBSD Handbook section on "Permissions" and the chmod(1) manual page (which you can access by typing "man 1 chmod"). For more complicated permission schemes, you way want to use ACLs.

That is what I have. I got it out of the handbook. however I may have forgotten the quotes. I will try it tonight. Now there are several duplicates of that section.
