Re: system bootup console setup
Pieter, Thanks for the response, but I may have asked the wrong question. I have two systems running 6-STABLE, one on a desktop pc and one on a laptop. Both have saver=logo in rc.conf, but the laptop fails to load it: logo_saver: the console does not support M_VGA_CG320 Module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0xc266aac8, 0) error 19 I thought the problem was that the laptop console was not correctly set-up, is should support the logo, but /etc/rc.conf, /etc/defaults/rc.conf (System Consoles), and /etc/ttys (ttyv*) are all identical. So was I wrong with my thought, or is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Dear All,
I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.
I have just configured a Local DNS server using the built-in
Bind 9.3.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.
My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the
localhost and loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.
I have a public static IP on this machine too and I can't seem
to query the caching name server from my local network.
In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get Bind to
work as in my local network. It works only on the loopback
interface.
The default /etc/namedb/named.conf configuration file for BIND
says:
| // If named is being used only as a local resolver, this is a
| safe default. // For named to be accessible to the network,
| comment this option, specify // the proper IP address, or
| delete this option. listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
It looks like if you comment out that option, it will listen on *
by default. You could also add the other IP address on which you
want named to listen.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public static IP
like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I
can't do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use the IP of
the local DNS server for domain name resolution. If you are using
DHCP you can configure your DHCP server to give this information with
the IP. Otherwise you must manually do it, which will be different
between operating systems.

MPPC compression implementations legal status?
Hi. Can anybody explain me for sure current license status of Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC) Protocol? It is not implemented in FreeBSD for years and I think it would be good to change this. In RFC 2118 told that Source and object licenses are available on a non-discriminatory basis from Stac Electronics. Does it means requirement to get license to use HIFN implementation of this protocol or also denies any other free implementation? How does it coexist with Microsoft's ROYALTY FREE PROTOCOL LICENSE AGREEMENT, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms818807.aspx.

Best supported mini-PCI wifi
My laptop has the wonderfully under-supported Broadcom wifi card in it. While it does work now with ndiswrapper and a few needed patches; it still doesn't work very well, to say nothing of natively. So, what does work? I've checked out the hardware notes for 6.1-R, but to no avail really... I'm looking at an Intel 2915 wireless a/b/g mini-PCI card, as Intel has always been great with supporting FreeBSD and therefore I'd much rather send my business to them... but I know very little about this card and don't know which (if any) driver supports it? Does anyone out there have this card, or another mini-PCI, (preferably not based on a broadcom chip ), that they could recommend? If driver's are in the making for the Intel mini-PCI card, I'd be happy to help test as well. Currently running 6.2-RC1/amd64 with some patchwork done to the ndiswrapper kernel module to make it work with newer Broadcom windows drivers. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have my home slice encrypted with GELI for several month now and so far I didn't notice any effects on the data integrity. I experienced several system crashes and one or two power failures do to empty battery but I didn't lose any data already saved on the disk (that I know of). The only inconvenience is that the system boots to single-user mode if the home slice isn't clean and I then have to fsck it manually. At that point the password for the key is already entered, so I'm not sure why the slice can't be fscked automatically. It could be the .eli extension, but I didn't investigate this any further. Yes the manual fsck is a pain. I am not sure why it has to be done manually either, but I don't think it is just the .eli extension. Did you notice you have to specify that it is UFS as well? Yes, I forgot to mention it because I now always call fsck_ffs directly. I guess this could also explain why it has to be done manually.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

On 12/13/06, Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Tuareg,
I can't find the name of the quy who straightened me out on the fuction of
squid, but kudo's to him.
Clearly squid is not the culprit.
But I've done some eyeballing on /usr/sbin/periodic, and I think maybe it
is
the culprit.
First lets have a look at your /etc/crontab file. Specifically we are
interested in the lines which contain the term periodic
cat /etc/crontab | grep periodic
#1 3 * * * rootperiodic daily
#15 4 * * 6 rootperiodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly
All the lines are commented.
If these lines include parameters, which are passed to /usr/sbin/periodic,
then they may be the reason for your periodic emails being sent WITHOUT
sendmail being enabled by the normal boot process.
Take a look at /usr/sbin/periodic. Note that it uses values
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf as well as any override variables
in /etc/rc.conf. It could also be overridden in other ways such as by
defining the value source_periodic_confs_defined and
periodic_conf_files
but this should have already showed up in /etc/rc.conf.
While you are examining /usr/sbin/periodic, look for the term output
In my copy of that script there is a comment that looks like:
#Where's our output going?
Then there is a case block:
case $output in
/*) pipe=cat $output;;
) pipe=cat;;
*) pipe=mail -s '$host ${arg##*/} run output' $output;;
esac
If your predecessor had modified this script or, perhaps overridden it
using /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then he may have either changed the *)
default case, or supplied parameters from /etc/crontab
(or /etc/defaults/periodic.conf) which could invoke sendmail directly. If
he
used override variables, then he would probably also have added a case for
)
pipe=sendmail -arg1 arg2 argn
This would account for sendmail being completely disabled in /etc/rc.conf
AND
for the messages being sent out via sendmail. However, as I read it, the
behaviour you have reported would only occur if /usr/sbin/periodic was
actually modified, as the use of the $output variables does NOT seem to
allow for invocation of sendmail directly. And I don't believe that
mail
can force invocation of sendmail (although I may be wrong, as the man page
does imply that mail will use any means available to get the message out).
If this is the case (i.e. if mail is invoking sendmail directly) you
could
check it by trying to send mail from the command line on one of the
servers
that actually does what you want it to do. If it works, and if there are
NO
modifications to /usr/sbin/periodic or override defaults
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then it will be safe to assume that
this feature has been properly quashed in 6.x. You would then need to
follow the procedures for setting up sendmail for outgoing-only, as many
have
already recommended.
Well this is the output of:
cat /usr/sbin/periodic | grep output
tmp_output=`mktemp ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/periodic.XX`
# Where's our output going ?
eval output=\$${arg##*/}_output
case $output in
/*) pipe=cat $output;;
*) pipe=mail -s '$host ${arg##*/} run output' $output;;
output=TRUE
$file /dev/null $tmp_output 21
if [ -s $tmp_output ]
0) [ $success = NO ] output=FALSE;;
1) [ $info = NO ] output=FALSE;;
2) [ $badconfig = NO ] output=FALSE;;
[ $output = TRUE ] { cat $tmp_output; empty=FALSE;
}
cp /dev/null $tmp_output
echo No output from the $processed file$plural processed
echo -- End of $arg output --
rm -f $tmp_output
But, /etc/defaults/periodic.conf don't appear to be modified, but can't be
sure 100% because we don't have other server with a fresh install of FreeBSD
4.6-RELEASE to compare.
Yes, we are able to send mails from the command line, so.. it could be that
this feature was disable for 6.x
In any case, the behaviour you desire would only work properly by making the
appropriate changes to /etc/mail/hostname|freebsd.mc, (i.e. SMART_HOST
and/or HUB settings), and then running make install in /etc/mail. (And
this
is always going to be the case where sendmail is concerned)
I hope this information leads you to a resolution, as it has been a great
learning experience for me ... but my brain hurts :)
lane
We wanted to ask and check with others before trying with modifications in
the files, so I guess that we'll finish
doing what the documentation recomends.
Thank you for your help, we learned a lot too.

Installing PHP5 alongside PHP4
Hi, I admin a small web hosting server running 6.1-RELEASE-p10, and I have PHP4 working as a module with Apache 2.0.59. I have a PHP app that doesn't work with PHP4 and requires PHP5, along with the mysql and gd extensions. Is there a way to get PHP5 to run alongside PHP4 short of installing another Apache in a jail?

Route spagetti
Hello, I have a routing problem ... I think. I have an established OpenVPN hosted on FreeBSD 6.1 using tun0 configured for 10.11.13.x. The OpenVPN configuration currently uses the client-to-client directive so that vpn Windows clients could access a separate central proprietary (Windows) database (also on the vpn). Response time and security have prompted me to investigate the use of qemu, hosted on FreeBSD, to house the proprietary database. I configured the qemu Windows image on my development machine and configured it to use tap0 10.11.12.150-10.11.12.151. The Windows side of the interface is 10.11.12.151 and FreeBSD keeps 10.11.12.150. I have used netmask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.252 with no discernible change in behaviour (which I'm getting to). Everything worked correctly in development - I could establish a Terminal Services session with the Windows client and do whatever I needed to do, including access the internet from the qemu-hosted session. However when I pushed the image out to the vpn server, I found something odd: When logged into the remote qemu-hosted Windows session via Terminal services, I can ping any interface on the vpn host (10.11.12.150, 10.11.13.1, and defaultrouter). I can also ping any client connected to the vpn tun device (10.11.13.X). However I cannot route from the Windows session to the public internet. Typically there is a tight firewall in place on the vpn host, but I have disabled the firewall rules and stil been unable to access the public internet from within the qemu-hosted session, while I *am* able to access the internet from a shell on the vpn host. Is this necessarily a job for natd? Or is there some simpler way to get 10.11.12.150 to forward 10.11.13.x packets to tun0 and all others to the defaultrouter on the host machine? I'm looking at ipfw add forward ... but it does not look promising. Thanks for your time. I know I can be long-winded. lane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wade Hampton Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 9:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: cvsup and amd64 Greetings to all, I'm running a dell 1501 laptop with amd64x2 processor. I got a disk from a guru specifically for this architecture, booted it, and installed 6.1 via FTP. Yesterday I ran cvsup successfully. Today I did make buildworld successfully. Now, I have a little paranoia about buildkernel. Please tell me, did I need to specify anything specifically about the amd64 architecture when running cvsup? Did I possibly get a GENERIC kernel file through cvsup that is not compatible with amd? ** Sorry for the horrible formatting, but for reasons beyond my control, I only have access to Microsoft Outlook right now. It appears no one has answered you yet, so, to alleviate your fears, yes, unless you've changed the kernel in any way (and it sounds like you haven't), a simple make buildkernel and make installkernel should work just fine. Reboot afterwards, and you should be running the new kernel. The only reason you would *need* to make a change would be if you're running dual processors or you need to customize the kernel for performance reasons. Otherwise the GENERIC kernel will suffice.

Re: Palm Tx + jpilot
Finally, This is the solution to get a Palm TX work with FBSD-6.X load the kernel modules 'uvisor.ko', 'ucom.ko', e.g. like this: (if not already done at boot time) kldload uvisor kldload ucom In order to set up the devfs rules manually do something like this: devfs ruleset 10 devfs rule add path cuaU* unhide mode 666 (note that 666 is fine for me, this may not suit your possibly more restricted environment) For a permanent setup this can be done via /etc/devfs.rules: #- [devfsrules_palm=4] add path 'cuaU*' unhide mode 666 #- plus this has to be mentioned in /etc/rc.conf: #- devfs_system_ruleset=devfsrules_palm #- It comes in handy to have a symlink where jpilot is searching the handheld. ln -s /dev/cuaU0 pilot enjoy, Armin -- PUBBOX Postmaster + spam-killer.
