Thank you for the clue .. it was set to xdm. However, xdm hides the console
to present a graphical login.  I am trying to launch KDE after logging in so
changing /etc/ttys has no effect.-Bob-

Hi, Kurt.

Can I make some assumptions that simplify things?  No kinky filenames, 
just [a-zA-Z0-9.].  My approach specifically doesn't like colons or 
spaces, I bet.  Also, you say gzipped, so I'm assuming it's ONLY gzip, 
no bzip2, etc.

Here's a first draft that might give you some ideas.  It will output:

foo.gz : 3456
bar.gz : 1048576
(etc.)

find . -type f | while read fname; do
  file $fname | grep -q "compressed" && echo "$fname : $(zcat $fname | wc -c)"
done


If you really need a script that will do the math for you, then
pip the output of this into bc:

#!/bin/sh

find . -type f | {

n=0
echo scale=2
echo -n "("
while read fname; do
  if file $fname | grep -q "compressed"
  then
echo -n "$(zcat $fname | wc -c)+"
n=$(($n+1))
  fi
done
echo "0) / $n"

}

That should give you the average decompressed size of the gzip'ped
files in the current directory.

I guess you could always run a webserver + DB locally and make your browser the

Many shells keep a history as a matter of normal operation.  You might
find that enough for you.  Personally, I use bash, and the command
"history" brings the last 100 commands or so.

FreeBSD 6.2-RC2 installation hangup with USB keyboard

[Alexander Pohoyda]

Hello!

I've got a new PC (Shuttle XPC SS21T with SiS 761GX+966L chipset)
which hangs up while booting from the installation CD.

Here's what I get (typed by hands):

pci0:  at device 2.7 (no driver attached)
ohci0:  mem 0xfbfff000-0xfbff  irq 20 at device 
3.0 on pci0
ohci0: Reserved 0x1000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xfbfff000
ohci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
usb0: SMM does not respond, resetting
usb0:  on ohci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
ohci1:  mem 0xfbffe000-0xfbffefff  irq 21 at device 
3.1 on pci0
ohci1: Reserved 0x1000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xfbffe000
ohci1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb1: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
<<>>


The keyboard is a normal HP USB keyboard, detected by FreeBSD 4.9 as:

ukbd0: Compaq USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1
kbd1 at ukbd0
uhid0: Compaq USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0


BTW, FreeBSD 6.0 and 5.4 (i386) installations also hangs up at the
very same place and OpenBSD 4.0 (amd64) installation hangs up with
this output:

ohci0 at pci0 dev 3 function 0 "SiS 5597/5598 USB" rev 0x0f:  irq 11, version 
1.0, legacy support
usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0 at usb0
uhub0: SiS OHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
ohci0 at pci0 dev 3 function 0 "SiS 5597/5598 USB" rev 0x0f:  irq 6, version 
1.0, legacy support


Is there a way around this problem?

Re: ipfw denies everything and i can open websites?

[Jurjen Middendorp]

I'm sorry, (don't laugh too hard) i had a litle startup script that read: ipfw
disable firewall, i put that there before i had actually made my firewall 
rules...
Once i removed it it turned out my rules weren't as decent as i thought, but now
they work!

And i was being so happy that i had made such a nice firewall :( 
I really thought my firewall was on because it loaded the rules and so...

thanks anyway :)

Yours is the second report with this build failure that I have seen
(neither me nor the FreeBSD ports clusters have encountered this so
far).

The other reporter had a FreeBSD 6.1 system as well.  In his case, he
saw the problem on a system that he had upgraded from FreeBSD 5.x;  a
different system which he had installed from scratch did not see this.

This may be a strawman, though, perhaps it's some other settings that
one machine had, and not the other.

I'd be interested to see whether the problem also occurs if you remove
these (or, in fact, all entries from make.conf)?  Just an idea...

AFAIK it has only come up once, so that's OK.

can anyone tell me what the operator group is for, or docs where I can

read about it? I see that /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/mk_snap_ffs are both
executable by members and various things in /dev/ are mountable by them.



Originally things were set up that way so that people in the "operator"
group could mount disks and tapes, shut the machine off, etc. root would do
the system administration itself (removing rootkits, etc.)

Well, when I say "originally" I mean "when the operator group was added to
the system". I don't think it existed in early versions of UNIX.

Re: named not starting on boot

[Derek Ragona]

You need to add another option in rc.conf for the user you want named to 
run as, otherwise it fails to start.

Never heard of this option. Never used it too. And named runs on my
FreeBSD-6.1 server like it should. for quite some time now ;-)

I guess the answer is in the logfile. Maybe an error of some sort in the
dns files.

I know of NO port that changes the pkgtools.conf. I doubt if such a thing
would be unnoticed by the fbsd users. This file must be changes by human

My understanding is that group "operator" is intended for those who
deal with devices, e.g. running backups and monitoring printers.

The answer above is correct.  I found the operator "group" described
in "Essential System Administration" by AEleen Frisch which is
published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Anything it installs, gets installed with standard ownership.  By
default, anyway; perhaps (just a guess) you have set options for the
install command in make.conf?

ipfw denies everything and i can open websites?

[Jurjen Middendorp]

Hello, 
i have configured my firewall, but after i do "ipfw -q flush" i am still
able to visit websites, download my e-mail, etc. I thought the default action of
ipfw was to deny everything and ipfw show confirms that... Why am i able to go
on the internet? Is this weird behaviour or is there something i don't
understand about ipfw/firewalls??
I am behind a router (NAT) and get my ip with dhcp.

A bit more information would be handy to determine what the root cause 
is. However, double check your logs for any errors.   If you have a 
*.* entry in your syslog.conf you should see any errors in thier.   

Also if you run named manually does it work?   Is the startup script 
located in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?   If you run that 
manually does it work?  

If you do encounter a error, post it back to the list and someone should 
be able to give you direction.



Cheers!

Moused(8) doesn't mention the ALPS glidpoint nor the Interlink VersaPad. It 
mentions
the protocols those things use, so you could use all touchpad things that use 
that
protocol.

But i can't say that i have ever used one, so you might want to wait and see if
there is someone that has actually used them.  Maybe you can find a computer 
shop
where you can try it?

Anyway, if you buy the ps/2 touchpad specify the ps/2 proto... which is actually
described 15 lines below the ALPS gildepoint and 11 lines below versapad ;P And
the adesso usb touchpad is plug-and-play so i think that that one will work if 
you
set moused to 'auto' (don't forget usb-mice kernel options?).

You might also want to have a look at the ion window-manager. Especially on 
laptops
it's a real pleasure to work with because it decreases the need to use a mouse 
for
things, so you don't have to carry a lot of stuff - besides your laptop.  And 
for
simple stuff like clicking links in a browser you can use the trackpoint! :)

BIND 9.3.2 on FreeBSD 6.1-release-p2

[patrick]

I'm running BIND 9.3.2 on FreeBSD 6.1, and am noticing that it gets
out of control after running for a while.

 PIDUID   THR PRI NICE   SIZERES STATETIME   WCPU COMMAND
60480 53 1 1320   195M   194M RUN 41.7H 75.54% named

After restarting it, its CPU usage goes back down to what it should
be, as does its memory usage. I really don't want to babysit this
process, so I'm trying to find the cause of this. I have
"max-cache-size" set to "150M", as before I turned this on, this
process would just grow and grow until it hit FreeBSD's limit and
would stop responding all together, not to mention eating up as much
CPU time as it could.

I never had this problem at all with BIND 8, and am wondering if
there's something I'm doing wrong with BIND 9 to have this problem?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm seeing multiple errors from make test and I can't seem to

I did try building with WITHOUT_PERL_64BITINT=yes  but that didn't
seem to make a difference, although its possible that I screwed that
up since conf.sh still shows multiple references to 64 bit ints (even 
use64bitint is defined)

does anyone have any pointers as to what may be going on? or where to 
start looking?

Batch file question - average size of file in directory

[Kurt Buff]

All,

I don't even have a clue how to start this one, so am looking for a little help.

I've got a directory with a large number of gzipped files in it (over
110k) along with a few thousand uncompressed files.

I'd like to find the average uncompressed size of the gzipped files,
and ignore the uncompressed files.

How on earth would I go about doing that with the default shell (no
bash or other shells installed), or in perl, or something like that.
I'm no scripter of any great expertise, and am just stumbling over
this trying to find an approach.

Many thanks for any help,

Kurt

Well, it seems that the driver and the hardware works so there must be

for networking analysis but I am not a networking adept. So I will
carefully repeat the install.  Thanks.  -Bob-

BTW, my other computer is a Biostar Ideq SFF with Via chipsets. FreeBSD
reports a 6102 ethernet but cannot map the interrupt. Instead it wants to
emulate ethernet on FireWire.  But that is for another day.  :-)

external touchpad for Thinkpad T23? (fwd)

[Ian Smith]

I originally posted this to -mobile three months ago, but got no
nibbles.  The T23 is is running 6.1-RELEASE presently.  Anyone?

Subject: external touchpad for Thinkpad T23?

I've just bought a Thinkpad T23, and I'm loving it .. but I'm not sure
I'll ever be able to love its TrackPoint, being spoilt by the touchpad
on my old Compaq Armada 1500c, with which I can be quite productive ..

The only one I've been able to google up that looks nearly small enough
to work with below the keyboard is the Adesso/Cirque EasyCat PS/2 or USB
pad .. any chance these will (some value of) work with FreeBSD 6? 

moused(8) only mentions the older (serial, and way too chunky) ALPS
Glidepoint, and the Interlink Versapad which looks more the right sort
of size, but appears to be no longer available?

I'd appreciate any clues.

Cheers, Ian

Re: Indexing a largish collection of mail and usenet messages?

[John L]

You could have a look at Lucene () : a text search 
engine library written in Java. I don't know lqtext, but Lucene seems to work 
in a similar way : a first program builds & updates an index, a second 
program allows to query the index.


Thanks.  Using java on a BSD box is a pain, but I see Ferret, a port into 
C that can be glued into ruby.

termcaps: xdm vs. startx

[Steve Franks]

Hi.

So if I run xdm on startup, when I log in, my up arrow gives '[[A' instead
of command history, backspace, other keys have similar effects.  If I log in
then do startx, everything works as expected.  It's really not an issue for
me, I'm just curious.  I tried changing the line in /etc/ttys from . on
xterm. to .on xterm-color with no apparent effects.  I presume
there is some difference in terms of login scripts with xdm vs. startx?

Well, it's hard to say, because the hardware could be misbehaving, in
which case the software may not know what's going on.  It might be
interesting to see whether fstat(1) sees anything holding the dsp
devices.  You could also try using vchans, which would (in theory) let
you access the hardware from another device node after the first one
hangs.  

Good luck.

I take it, then, that FreeBSD is the web client, not the server?  
Have you checked for whether the delays are being caused by name
service, before the HTTP session is even started?

A similarly identified interface works okay for me on my Via C3

most purposes.

more then one external link with pf

[S t i n g r a y]

Well i have purchased another Internal Connection to provide my client
computer more speed to specific protocols & also its cheaper this
way :)

Now i want to use my previous internet link "DSL" to provide only
access to specific protocols like Http, Https  Dns etc etc. and use
this one for all protocols

but my current pf.conf doesn't provide this i try searching the web & could 
only figure out this ...



intif="epic0"

extif="pcn0"

extif2="fxp0"

extad="192.168.0.2"

chadd="10.0.0.1"

ports = "22 53 80 443 "

table  persist file "/etc/allowedclients"



nat on $extif inet proto {icmp, tcp, udp } from  to any  -> $extad

nat on $extif inet proto {tcp, udp } from  to 192.168.0.1 port 
{ $ports } -> (pcn0)

nat on $extif2 inet proto {tcp, udp } from  to any -> (fxp0)



rdr on $intif proto tcp from  to any port 80 -> $chadd port 8080



pass out on $extif inet proto { tcp, udp } from  to any port { 
$ports }





now the problem is that traffic is only directed to one link either cable or 
dsl both links arent being used at a time.
 
Thank you

In our 'periodic daily' report/email, (only the list goes on for 
hundreds of attempts). Anyhow, long story short; is there not an easy 
way to make sshd block or deny hosts temporarily if X number of invalid 
login attempts are made within a minute's time? Must I use an external

it's own?


There are several ways to block the attacks, one pointed out by first 
respondent, we use Denyhosts and sshblock here.


Google should point you several others.

RE: which web mail / calendar to use

[Marwan Sultan]

I cannot find better than OpenWebMail
Its openwebmail.org
really easy..supporting almost everything,
it has any feature you are looking for...
virtual users, real, quota, password changesetc...
give it a try.

have fun.


I'm looking for a web mail and calendar to install on my freebsd box.
Ideally something "web 2.0" like gmail and google calendar is what my
users are after.

In some searching around, I turned up Hula (http://hula-project.org)
and Zimbra (http://www.zimbra.com).  Both have open-source versions.
Zimbra seems more mature.  Neither seems to be easy to install on an
existing freebsd box and both seem to replace everything including the
mailer and popd/imapd.  It's not clear to me if anyone has ever
succeeded in getting Hula working on Freebsd.

Has anyone had any luck with any other packages?

Sure -- but it must have been changed automatically on my system during a 
package installation process-  I certainly made no manual or other entries in 
it and noone else has root access.

I don't know of any internal-to-ssh way to do this.  Me, I use
security/denyhosts; it's a minor pain to configure though that only
need be done once.

I'm using Horde, has a nice homepage-builder like, with support for 
calendars, email, and news/rss feeds as well. Clean, simple, easy to 
navigate interface - highly reccomend for ldap email. If using pop3, or 
running on local mail server - go with OpenWebMail - way easier, and 
supports decent calendaring interface.


Just my two cents ;) - been using openwebmail as primary mail reader for 
passed several years, now using imap and Mozilla Thunderbird + Horde via 
web when not at desk... both work excellent.

block or deny hosts temporarily if X number of invalid login attempts are made 
within a minute's time? Must I use an external wrapper to accomplish this, or 
can it be done with options to sshd on it's own?

Firstly, the ports system should try to restart an existing download,
I do this all the time. Secondly, even if a partial file cannot be
completed, the port should not carry on building because the distfile
will fail its MD5/SHA256 checksums.

Either there is a bug here, or you have done something odd. Do you have
NO_CHECKSUM set?

I have to say that roundcube is pretty good. I've set it up late last week and
it worked just fine out of the box. Not using calendar, but mainly the mail
client to a local IMAP (or remote, and it talks over TLS to it, in case you are
concerned about security ).

BSDstats report for Jan 1st, 2006

[Marc G. Fournier]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


What a fantastic month December turned out to be ... overall, "1st of Month" 
reporting (hosts reporting within the first 24 hours of the month) is up 64% 
from Dec to Jan ...

... and, looking at Overall reporting hosts for the month of December vs 
January, with us being just 24hours into the month, we are only down 6.8% in 
January from the total of December, so this month should hopefully look really 
good to.

PC-BSD fixed a bug in their CD last month, which is reflected in their numbers 
... they wrote /var/db/bsdstats to the CD, so all hosts were being reported as 
the same one ... so that's why the huge jump in their "1st of Month" report ...

Thanks to all that are participating ... for those just tuning in, please check 
out http://www.bsdstats.org ... there was a new version put up (v5.3, already 
in FreeBSD ports) over the past little while that extends the reporting for the 
FreeBSD ports system ... I have no experience with any of the other *BSD ports 
systems, but if someone would like to submit a patch to include theirs, please 
feel free.  It is another purely optional report that gives numbers of ports in 
use, including version numbers, for the various software packages.

I would go for a simple Javascript web calender. I am yet to find one since I

That is known and expected behaviour.  It is just a round-off error due to
the use of integer division.
'rate' is the average number of interrupts/second calculated over the
whole uptime of the machine.
Since you probably press a key on the keyboard less than once per second (on
average) this means that rate < 1 for atkbd0 and gets displayed as 0.

If floating point values were used to display the rate you should see a
value of maybe 0.13 for atkbd0.

which web mail / calendar to use

[Michael Grant]

I'm looking for a web mail and calendar to install on my freebsd box.
Ideally something "web 2.0" like gmail and google calendar is what my
users are after.

In some searching around, I turned up Hula (http://hula-project.org)
and Zimbra (http://www.zimbra.com).  Both have open-source versions.
Zimbra seems more mature.  Neither seems to be easy to install on an
existing freebsd box and both seem to replace everything including the
mailer and popd/imapd.  It's not clear to me if anyone has ever
succeeded in getting Hula working on Freebsd.

Has anyone had any luck with any other packages?

This is covered in Greg Lehey's excellent book "The Complete FreeBSD".
You can even download a copy (in PDF format) from his website.  For more
details see the email message he sends to this list *every* Friday
afternoon at about 5pm (UTC) with the subject line

  "The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

If you are just starting out in FreeBSD you will find this book a great
source of information.

vmstat -i weirdness

[Tofik Suleymanov]

Hello list,

looks like `vmstat -i` acts weird on my machine after being 12-15 hours 
uptime.Here is the iutput of `vmstat -i`:


> vmstat -i
interrupt  total   rate
irq1: atkbd06813  0
irq9: acpi0 5397  0
irq12: psm073782  1

cpu0: timer105315537   1999
Total  105510926   2003
>   

Strange is that for example atkbd0 has rate of 0, but total interrupts 
count of atkbd0 is growing.

Machine runs FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE p11 with  pretty common  kernel.

Is this known behaviour ?

many thanks,
Tofig Suleymanov.

Tghanks very much Roger.. understood.

I will write a short script to check for changes in pkgtools.conf and run it 
both before and after portupgrade is run. That way I will at least have a 
handle on what is going on.

Thanks again

Re: Indexing a largish collection of mail and usenet messages?

[Christophe Ollier]

John L a écrit :

I have a collection of archives of mailing list and news messages. The 
largest collection is pretty big, about 150,000 messages which means 
about 200 megabytes of text, shortly to be migrated to a FreeBSD 
server.  The lists are all active so archives typically add a few 
messages each day. I want to provide a full text search of each 
archive.  What software should I use?  I have been using the sturdy but 
ancient lqtext package. It's OK, but it has a few bugs I have yet to 
pick and I'm wondering if something better is available.


You could have a look at Lucene () : a text 
search engine library written in Java. I don't know lqtext, but Lucene 
seems to work in a similar way : a first program builds & updates an 
index, a second program allows to query the index.


It's "only" a library, you have to program the interfaces for you 
(indexing) and your users (querying). There are numerous ports to other 
languages (C, Perl, Python, PHP (through ZendFramework) are in the ports 
tree).


First, I am NOT, repeat NOT, asking about web spiders.  The messages are 
directly available to indexing software as files on my server, so 
there's no advantage to running them through Apache on the way to the 
indexer. Also, the messages in the archive never change and I know what 
files are new each day, so it would be pointless for a package to 
re-spider the whole archive to look for the new messages.  I am not 
unalterably opposed to something that spiders if it is otherwise 
wonderful, but that approach hasn't been fruitful in the past.


Lucene can update an existing index with new documents.

What I want ideally is something that knows enough about the structure 
of mail messages to deal intelligently with headers vs. body, that can 
do something reasonable with MIME and HTML bodies (not urgent, I can 
always run them through demime on the way to the index), and most 
importantly that actually works with 150,000 messages.  I've seen lots 
of packages that look promising but that fall over dead once they get 
past 10,000 messages or so.


I don't think Lucene can do this out of the box, but you can associate 
any keyword to your indexed documents (e.g. mail headers).


About performance, I'm personally satisfied. I use the PHP port, with 
20k documents, the full index takes about an hour to build, queries 
about 100 to 1000 ms. Lucene seems fit for millions of documents.

Hi:

You might want to give TaskJuggler a try !

Take a look at the url - http://www.taskjuggler.org/

Hope this helps.

a console issue tracking tool?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. For one of the small project I am working on, a console-based  or
X-based issue tracker is preferred over web-based solutions (like Trac
or Bugzilla). Basically it only need to be able to work with issue
priority, category, dates and status.

So far I know a lot of webbased issue tracker, but never heard/knew
anything that works on console or X. I guess maybe any console/X
application that work as a project management tool can be used for this
purpose too. After having found nothing useful by searching for "issue
tracker tool" on google, I am begining to try searching for "project
management tool" but the results are too much to pick from, many Linux
desktop project management tool are not suitable for issue tracking

Can someone provide some suggestions on avaialbe products to choose
from?

Thanks from what you say I understand what happens but do not understand the 
when and whys!!
My pkgtools.conf had entries in it but none made by me. In what circumstances 
would one choose to "hold" and how come there are "holds" without my knowing 
anything about it?

This is always one of the difficulties with freebsd .. the what and how 
questions get answered in the man pages but information that informs judgement 
upon when the "how" and "what" to-do is best implemented are missing!!

Thanks for your help

David
