You're missing a dependency in your kernel config. Best way to
resolve this with the most learning experience is to take your
drivers included in your kernel and go "man {driver name}". The man
page lists all the dependencies for the required driver.
As a hint though, I bet the driver you're missing is net related,
most likely dealing with bpf, ether, or options INET.
Make sure to run make clean when changing options if you have
NO_CLEAN set to yes in /etc/make.conf.

Of course it will speed up booting but then again how much time does one spend booting, compared to using the puter: not much (at least I hope so for them!) Ah but some of us boot frequently. We have to after each kernel rebuild. If I do build my own kernel, for example to switch schedulers, I tend to toss out a heap of devices that I don't have anyway. But other than a bit more memory usage (which compared to the software that's run will typically be minor anyhow unless you're talking embedded system or maybe not-so- embedded but still of low spec special purpose boxes, like a satellite receiver box) you're not going to have a slower system because your kernel happens to have some built-in drivers that it doesn't use. The exception is a debug kernel of course that will impact performance because it increases runtime tasks/load. On a server I'd strip down the kernel, but for other reasons (avoiding any unneeded complexity). On a desktop I don't care as long as thingie works. YMMV of course. I think what he was saying is that if you already need to build a kernel for some other reason, then go ahead and strip out the unused stuff. But, if you don't have any other reason to do it, it is not worth the bother to build another kernel just to strip it of unused stuff - that it won't make THAT much difference. I'd agree with that. me, too. I've got some linux workstations for which I've never felt the need to compile my own kernel. But my FreeBSD box is a headless ITX-mini board that will run as a public server. Because there was so much of GENERIC that I could discard for my box, it seemed to make sense. But I suppose the single most important factor in my decision to compile my own kernel is "Building a custom kernel is one of the most important rites of passage nearly every BSD user must endure."

Can you finally learn to break you lines at about 70 characters in length. Having them run on long makes it much more difficult to make responses. Most Email clients allow you to configure it to break lines. If yours does not, just hit a a RETURN/ENTER about there each time. Yahoo's new beta must be the problem. Let's see if the old yahoo system works. Just switched back. Let me know. That I don't quite get. If you are just adding a disk to your machine, it is not likely to corript the rest of the system unless you execute something on that disk. Which I did. Trust me. I've ruled everything else out. It's the HD. When you fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs it, it is wiped and the previous contents are gone. If you precede that with a nice dd to overwrite initial sectors with zeros, then it is even more wiped before you even get to the fdisk. Can I bsdlabel, newfs and fdisk that disk without wiping the other disks, and do it remotely? Or are you trying to add this disk to a mirror in such a way that the raid controller thinks it is the good disk and the other is corrupt and tries to rebuild the mirror with the contents of the added disk? That you don't want to do. That I am not doing. There are two other disks in the box that are SCSIs. My thoughts are that something is happening that you haven't declared yet. An HD does not go out and zap files. That is like saying one book on a shelf skipped over and trashed the contents of another book on a shelf. You misread. The files were on the new HD. The "action scripts", or s/w that calls those dbase files, are on the SCSI drives. That is a much bigger problem then. You can't just go and rebuild stuff and expect to keep the files on that disk. You might be able to used fdisk if the slice table got smuched and if you put back exactly what was originally there. You might even be able to use bsdlabel to fix a partition table, again if the new was exactly the same as the old, but I am not sure of that. You must not attempt to build filesystems on the disk with newfs or then all will be gone and beyond recovery except by those very expensive spy type folk that try to get secret information from overwritten storage. But, what you are describing is not a corrupt OS. It is a problem with reading information from a disk.I have responded to several different people lately on similar issues and can't remember which is which. If it is a bad space on disk, then you are going to have to reconstruct the date by reading as much as you can and putting it together the hard way. If it is some incompatibilty the file system versions between how it written and being read, you need to track down just how it was written and try to bridge the difference. jerry TIA, Drew As long as the disk isn't in use, yes you can do this type of thing anytime you like.

Well, I wonder if it once was too full and so they moved it somewhere and either intended but failed to make a link or somehow the link got overwritten so it can't find the stuff. In otherwords, all the files and directory structure had been moved somewhere and there should be a link to it of the sort: ln -s /some/other/place /usr but the link is missing.

optimizing squid and freebsd
Hello, Running squid on a 6.x box. I'm going to implement digest user authentication, and want to ensure squid is running optimally. Googling and reading "Squid the Definitive Guide" by Oreilly indicates that the file descriptors should be raised. I did a sysctl -a|grep maxfiles and found a value of 1440. It was suggested to increase this to 8192, which i did. I then found entries in /etc/login.conf that make me wonder if this change was necessary. All of these are set to unlimited in the default option: datasize, stacksize, memoryuse, filesize and openfiles (one of these the descriptors), maxproc, and Given this do i have to add an options maxfiles=8192 in my kernel config file? Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks.

The "action scripts", or s/w > that calls those dbase files, are on the SCSI drives. That is a much bigger problem then. You can't just go and rebuild stuff and expect to keep the files on that disk. You might be able to used fdisk if the slice table got smuched and if you put back exactly what was originally there. You might even be able to use bsdlabel to fix a partition table, again if the new was exactly the same as the old, but I am not sure of that. You must not attempt to build filesystems on the disk with newfs or then all will be gone and beyond recovery except by those very expensive spy type folk that try to get secret information from overwritten storage. But, what you are describing is not a corrupt OS. It is a problem with reading information from a disk.I have responded to several different people lately on similar issues and can't remember which is which. If it is a bad space on disk, then you are going to have to reconstruct the date by reading as much as you can and putting it together the hard way. If it is some incompatibilty the file system versions between how it written and being read, you need to track down just how it was written and try to bridge the difference. jerry > > TIA, > Drew > > > - > We won't tell.

Xvfb + VNC
Hello, I could install gdm with Xorg and vnc.so module loaded. This is fine, now I can access that X server with vnc. The problem is that the Xorg server needs a video card. So if somebody connects a montior to that server while I'm working from home then he/she will see what I'm doing. (I cannot restrict physical access to that computer, but I do not want others to see my desktop...) My idea is to create a virtual framebuffer server with Xvfb, and load vnc.so module there. Since vnc.so can be password protected, in theory, nobody will have access to that X session, except me. But I cannot do this. Xvfb(1) tells me that it has the same options that Xserver(1) has. The Xserver(1) does not tell me anything about loadable modules, but X is a symlink to Xorg. Well, Xorg has a -config option but Xvfb does not. :-( Does it mean that I cannot load "vnc.so" into the virtual framebuffer server? Is there a better solution? In my dreams: 1. I would run a virtual X server, that is not visible directly (not requiring any video card) 2. I would access this X server with some program remotely (preferrably VNC) 3. This remote access needs to be secure to some extent 4. This remote access should be fast enough to use through a DSL connection Can my dreams come true?

The above is good advice, but I personally don't recall there ever being
a c3 CPUTYPE designation. For example:
$ grep -i c3 /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk
$ sed q /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk ; uname -r
# $FreeBSD: src/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk,v 1.48 2005/05/24 21:24:40 cognet Exp $
6.1-RELEASE
On other hand, from reading your headers:
X-Mailer: Claws Mail 2.8.0 (GTK+ 2.10.11; i386-portbld-freebsd6.2)
suggests to me that it may have been added to 6.2. If that's the case,
then it merits being pointed out.
Cheers.

Yes. You just have to have everything on that disk unmounted. Then you can run fdisk either directly or via sysinstall.

Running a 7.x kernel on a 6.x system is unsupported. You can do it, but some things won't work and it's for "advanced users only". A good alternative might be for you to run 7.0 under qemu.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
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. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
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.

Maybe they want the timezone to be correct if you boot into

Failed ftp
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I succeeded in IE7, by not entering anything in the box. I entered: ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/ Then, I clicked my way to the ISO-IMAGES directory. On the way it asked me again with a login box. I tried with checking the box, but it did not work. So I changed Anonymous to anonymous. I tried with the Microsoft-password [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it worked. However, on a repeated try, anonymous with my own [EMAIL PROTECTED] as password would not work. Firefox, however, would fail, no matter what I do. Right now I am downloading disk1-kde. I don't know if it is important, but I am using the net from my dorm, and there everything goes through some central machine. Is this relevant?

From: /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk
. elif ${CPUTYPE} == "c3"
MACHINE_CPU = 3dnow mmx i586 i486 i386
. elif ${CPUTYPE} == "c3-2"
MACHINE_CPU = sse mmx i586 i486 i386
If you look at the screenshot of the CPUID window from the review
linked by Garrett, it says the Nehemiah has sse but not 3dnow, which
matches the c3-2 settings above.
I would recommend that you comment out C[XX]FLAGS and try again
with CPUTYPE=c3-2
FreeBSD isn't Gentoo, and using Gentoo's settings may cause trouble in
the long-term. If you set CPUTYPE properly, FreeBSD will normally
come-up with sensible optimizations.

If an nfsiod had been idle for 'iodmaxidle' seconds, the kernel will kill it off, but will always leave at least 'iodmin' processes running.

I'm not even sure that it has been reviewed. I'll attach my patch to

This puts a delay before the first prompt but not the prompts after
entering a null login name or other invalid input. It could help if
you were having problems with garbled output all the time not just after
invalid input. If that is the case, you probably need to set de and
use my patch.

If you are just adding a disk to your machine, it is not likely to corript the rest of the system unless you execute something on that disk. When you fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs it, it is wiped and the previous contents are gone. If you precede that with a nice dd to overwrite initial sectors with zeros, then it is even more wiped before you even get to the fdisk. Or are you trying to add this disk to a mirror in such a way that the raid controller thinks it is the good disk and the other is corrupt and tries to rebuild the mirror with the contents of the added disk?

This can probably be adapted to other mirroring techniques/software as well. Verify that your backups are up-to-date and reliable. Create a "degraded" single-member mirror on the blank disk (or a partition/slice on said disk). (gmirror label command) Make sure that the size of the disk/slice/partition is equal to or smaller than the size of the disk/slice/partition which already contains your data. Create (a) new filsystem(s) on the new mirror. (newfs and possibly bsdlabel, depending on how/if you want to break it up) Transfer your data from the existing filesystem to the new filesystem (dump/restore -- it's easier than it sounds). (Alternative: restore from the backup you created to begin with.) Verify data transfer, make relevant changes to /etc/fstab, possibly other intermediate steps. Destroy the original filesystem (possibly using dd and /dev/zero) (not strictly necessary, but wiping at least the first part of the disk/slice/partition can help avoid potential confusion (for you and the system) later.) Insert the original disk/slice/partition into your new mirro (gmirror insert command). This approach can take longer than some others (due to the transfer requirement), but the finished product is less likely to contain surprises. I have successfully used this approach to migrate several types of volumes to gmirror sets, including boot partitions.

nfsiod && nfs_client_flags
Hi everyone, after replacing 4.11-RELEASE by 6.1-RELEASE on most of my systems I just remembered the rc.conf variable "nfs_client_flags" which I used under 4.x to raise the number of nfsiod's on heavily loaded systems. I can't find nfs_client_flags in 6.1 although the man page of nfsiod still documents the "-n" flag. Is there any reason for this? Thanks for any reply!

I found a solution, although I'm not sure why it works.
When you just hit enter getty goes back to the beginning of its loop.
This also happens if you enter a name starting with "-" or consisting of
just spaces. These also causes the output to become garbled.
At the beginning of the loop it calls setttymode(0). If I insert a
sleep(1) before this call, everything works correctly. If I insert the
sleep after that, the output still gets garbled.
Like I said, I don't know why it works, but it does.
I don't think a short delay is unreasonable after entering invalid or no
information. I am going to submit a PR with a patch.
I have the same behavior as you do on some machines here. But I
originally thought it was caused by the (old) serial port card I used
to build a serial console server.
The card is an EasyIO PCI 8-port card from Stallion Technologies as
suggested by Gregory Bond's article "Console Server" from
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/console-server/index.html
(BTW, don't buy this card today because it's driver was not ported
from FreeBSD 4.x to neither 5.x nor 6.x.)
That being said, I checked /usr/src/libexec/getty/main.c to find out
how to recreate your fix. But I'm not a huge C programmer, so I tried
other ways to solve this.
That brought me to gettytab(5) which says that the "de" field controls
the "delay secs and flush input before writing first prompt" as the
man page puts it.
So I changed a test machine's gettytab default entry from:
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%h (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
:if=/etc/issue:
To:
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%h (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
:if=/etc/issue:de=2:
And restarted (not sure if a reboot is necessary here?). I had to
fiddle a bit with the delay, but it did help.

Re: Corrupted OS
You have probably already read those details in another one of my emails between when you emailed and when I responded to yours, but in case not, here it is again: I executed a bad command on my old server which I am convinced damaged a 500 GB HD I had. The server farm says otherwise, but it is in their best interest to talk a lot and do as little work as possible...and rake in more money for screwing up OS's, etc. So I had them build out another server which I built out after they got me up. First, however, I built a mirror server here and wrote down every command I executed in building it, to make sure there would be no mistakes. Then one day, all of a sudden, when I wasn't doing any work at all in the given areas, two of my databases got wiped: MySQL and one of my Zope instances' Data.fs, both of which were symlinked to the SCSI HDs from the 500 GB HD. This is exactly what happened on the old server, except on the old one it happened because of an erroneous copy command. Now, strange little things are happening for which there is no logical explanation other than corruption of the OS...exactly what transpired on the old server.

I think what he was saying is that if you already need to build a kernel for some other reason, then go ahead and strip out the unused stuff.

This is an anonymous ftp site. So, when it asks for login id, give it anonymous When it asks for password, give it your email address.

Yes. The system was working fine. The problem is with an extra HD I have that I
told the server farm to check out thoroughly before installing it in the new
server because I knew it had a problem. They said they didand didn't. So
that's what corrupted the system again...exactly the same way it did before,
too. But yes, the system was working fine before I had data files on the HD in
question linked to s/w on the SCSI hard drives.

Well, it never hurts to get up to date on security, does it? Where do I find
this cutting edge?

Will that be outlined in the cutting edge, or elsewhere?

The HD zapped two data files--MySQL and a Zope instance Data.fs--and that's
what caused the problem both times. I doubt this would have hurt the source
tree. Your thoughts?

I need to avoid single user mode, as you probably recognize, since the machine
is on the other side of the planet. The below worked when I upgraded once from
5.5 to 6.1.

In other words, it's not necessary since I'm just rebuilding what I already
have, right?

No, what I mean is if my connection gets dropped.

Ah! Good idea! So just use the old "&" symbol.
How do I know when it's finished? Putting jobs in the background, one can't see
their progress, that is, I don't know how to monitor it if it's not flashing
before my face ;) And that's the only place I have to put a job in the
background? Reviewing my notes again, that wouldn't be necessary for any of the
following?
make clean;make cleanworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL
make installkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL
make installworld
...and I don't need this either, since I'm not doing mergmaster at all, right?
mergemaster
TIA,
Drew
