Re: Backup Solution
Hi everybody , I like to know the different backup techniques that is very cheaper (I cant go for a SAN, mirror .. even if I can purchase those,please excuse me because I believe more productivity @ less resources )for my webserver, but any solution logicaly the cheapest one ,by which I can restore all the data that I have just before the server crash(if it occurs) What I followed was I configured a crontab in mydesktop PC which will run rsync utility through ssh to my webserver at 23 rd hour of a day . so I can get incremntal backup of the directories and database ( that I configuerd for rsync )daily . But I want a solution through that I can restore my server without any data lose (ex: if the server crashes at 23.30 hour then that 30 minutes data I lose ). So many experts here in this mailing lists can suggest their techniques for a full system recovery( backup solutions) after the crash without any data lose.

FreeBSD 7.0, Open LDAP, PAM, TLS and NSS, howto?
Hello out there, I have a problem with setting up an FreeBSD box as OpenLDAP server with several services, like SAMBA, NFS. The intention is to have a FreeBSD 7.0 fileserver (NFS, SAMBA) also acting as OpenLDAP server. So far. OpenLDAP is up and running, using TLS/SSL certificate. SAMBA is also up and running - but it never connects to the OpenLDAP server due to an connection error, but this shouldn't be the subject here, I have more basic questions about what FreeBSD already has and what to install additionally. I want customers to log in on the FBSD box, so they sould log in (authenticated via OpenLDAP), change their passwords and shells and those user specifica should be updated on the LDAP server. I already installed pam_ldap-port but ran into trouble because FreeBSD's nss obviously does not have a tag 'ldap' to refere to an OpenLDAP server (and not files). Well, I'm confused and not very firm with OpenLDAP/PAM/NSS stuff, especially if SSL/TLS come into play and I would like to ask those herein administering those setups, especially within a hybrid NFS/SAMBA fileservicing environment, where to find up to date informationes/howto/tipps. Most websites and HowTo's I found were Linux related or, if related to FreeBSD, outdated. Sorry beeing so unspecific, but the problem is complex (to me) so I would better ask for those who are willing to help or give hints and tips.

Additional large disks are becoming popular because they are fast and easy but can get expensive when the dump takes more than one for a full dump. jerry So many experts here in this mailing lists can suggest their techniques for a full system recovery( backup solutions) after the crash without any data lose.

Re: FreeBSD 7.0, Open LDAP, PAM, TLS and NSS, howto?
FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x work fine with both PAM and NSS - LDAP w/ TLS (PKI). All other services (RADIUS, Apache ((mod_ldap, mod_pam_auth), PHP, interactive shell, SFTP, etc.) can be tied into LDAP either directly or via PAM. As for password change, I don't know if anyone has a passwd(1) binary that properly changes the LDAP password attribute -- if there is and its out there, it requires ACL insanity. Like Oracle, you can either understand OpenLDAP ACLs, or you have real work to do :} Check the nss_pam.conf and nss_ldap.conf configs in local/etc/* -- set to debug 1 to get debugging info.

The intention is to have a FreeBSD 7.0 fileserver (NFS, SAMBA) also acting as OpenLDAP server. So far. OpenLDAP is up and running, using TLS/SSL certificate. SAMBA is also up and running - but it never connects to the OpenLDAP server due to an connection error, but this shouldn't be the subject here, I have more basic questions about what FreeBSD already has and what to install additionally. I want customers to log in on the FBSD box, so they sould log in (authenticated via OpenLDAP), change their passwords and shells and those user specifica should be updated on the LDAP server. I already installed pam_ldap-port but ran into trouble because FreeBSD's nss obviously does not have a tag 'ldap' to refere to an OpenLDAP server (and not files). Well, I'm confused and not very firm with OpenLDAP/PAM/NSS stuff, especially if SSL/TLS come into play and I would like to ask those herein administering those setups, especially within a hybrid NFS/SAMBA fileservicing environment, where to find up to date informationes/howto/tipps.

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.

From the point of view of the end user or even the Java programmer there is no differences - both jdk's offer the same public APIs, compilers, runtime environments, etc. The differences are in the internal implementaions. Sun JDK is developed by Sun Microsystem. They officially offer binary downloads for Windows, Solaris and Linux, as well the source code (for their JDK). A FreeBSD port for Sun JDK does exists, but it is not made by Sun. Take a look at that page: http://www.freebsd.org/java/ Diablo JDK (I think) is another implementation of JDK - see http://freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml. This is not correct.

Another recommendation I might make is to use vi the way it was intended: keep your fingers on home row, and when you want to do something like page up or page down, use the command mode keys that correspond with the desired action. For instance, ^B will page up, and typing a number first will cause it to page up that many times. ^F does the same thing, but pages down instead. ^U and ^D move up and down, respectively, a number of lines determined by the editor's scroll option (usually half a visible page in Vim, measured in screen lines rather than file lines as it would be measured in vi). I, personally, like Vim. It's what I use. I also try to use it the way vi is best used, because the benefits apply just as much to Vim.

But I want a solution through that I can restore my server without any data lose (ex: if the server crashes at 23.30 hour then that 30 minutes data I lose ). So many experts here in this mailing lists can suggest their techniques for a full system recovery( backup solutions) after the crash without any data lose. rsync more often. Seriously. If your data is that important, put it in a loop and run it nonstop, or with a 5-minute sleep between each run. In general, however, the requirements you seem to be asking for don't fall under the category of cheap.

Do you have an internal DNS server? Is it possible the windows boxes are using
NetBIOS for name resolution, and hence can ping each other by name? Absent and
internal DNS server, the FreeBSD machines would be stumped...for internal name
resolution.

Re: File size discrepancies
In the last episode (Sep 28), Modulok said: I have a file hierarchy of about 18GiB which was copied from a UFS 2 file system one hard disk to a UFS 2 file system on a gmirror array. The size of the two hierarchies differ by 12 bytes according to du(1). No errors were reported by cp(1) during the copy operation. du doesn't count in bytes; it counts in disk blocks or KB. A 12KB difference is probably just due to better packing of directories in your newly-created tree as compared to your orignal one. To figure out where the difference is, run du -a in both trees and diff the two outputs. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First question, what is recommended regarding doing updates. Is it best to just do all of them? It depends. If the update of the base system concerns something that you use, I would definitely install it. That's the problem though, same with linux, there are obvious things that I would update but there are likely items that I would never have a clue if I needed them or not. As I'm going to do a completely fresh install on a clean system I might just try doing all upgrades right from the start and see how it goes from there. The best way to keep the base system up-to-date is using csup (which is still referenced in the Handbook in §20.3 as cvsup). For updating the ports tree I can recommend portsnap. For updating the ports themselves I use portmaster. I have always had problems doing this e.g. with Mandrake and other Linuxs and so am reluctant, but if it is usual I'll give it a try. The upgrade tools on FreeBSD work quite well. But if you're rebuilding your own ports it can take quite some time depending on your machine. I've been using the Package Manager so far but will look into using a command prompt at some later time. (I'm also reluctant as I assume a full update will update xorg to 7.3 and I have 7.2 installed with the latest nvidia 9# driver and it works beautifully so would rather stay with that. There is a new beta driver available. Yes, I've read about it here. I have read the Handbook, but still have a problem understanding how to map my ext2 and ext3 partitions to the UFS notation. e.g. The notation is a BSD thing, it has nothing to do with UFS. ok. I have a drive hda, it has a swap an unused space and four partitions one of which is my home partition hda7. How do I refer to this home partition using ad0??? notation If you do 'ls ad0*' you'll see what is available. Remember that what DOS and Linux calls partitions are called slices in FreeBSD. Partitions in FreeBSD are subdivisions of a slice. E.g. ad0s1a is partition a of slice 1 of ad0. Customarily, slice b is used for swap, and slice c is unused. You can see this with the 'bsdlabel' command. OK, I've done that. this is the result for the drive currently being used by linux. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/pineal]$ ls /dev/ad0* /dev/ad0/dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s6 /dev/ad0s8 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s5 /dev/ad0s7 /dev/ad0s9 - The number of apparent slices (those with a ad0s[n] designation) seen by BSD is one more than the number of linux partitions I actually have. No I haven't miss-counted. I have 1 swapfile partition and five partitions hda5-9 used by linux. btw I tried to run the bsdlabel command but it returns no valid label found for both ad0 and ad1. (as this is what I understand I need to do, if not please enlighten). I have installed the ext2fs utilities/drivers and can mount an ext2 fs written on dvd without problems. I would recommend converting the disk to native UFS2 filesystems. I'm not sure if mounting an ext2 slice read/write is such a good idea. Make (in Linux, e.g. Knoppix) a tarball of your data and seve it to another disk or CD,DVD. Reslice and format the disk with sysinstall, and restore your backup. Maybe I didn't make myself clear here. I have an existing in-use Linux system. I want to be able to access the /home partition as it contains all my personal data that I will need to move over to FreeBSD when I do the new install. You might find §16.3 of the Handbook enlightening. did you mean from Ch 16 3. Why will chmod not change the permissions on symlinks? I intend to do a completely fresh install and would like to compile for my specific pc kit. Would I be best doing this following installation and initial setting up? Yes.

It took me a bit to realize that what you're trying to do is go from a
variable with a space-separated list of filenames to a variable with a
newline-separated list.
If you don't really need that second variable but just want to show
those names on the screen, just echo ${filename} in the loop. echo
appends a linefeed. Or use printf, which can understand standard
character escapes.
If you really want a new variable, echo the FILENAMES variable into tr
to replace spaces with newlines. (\r is not needed.)
String manipulation in sh is painful at best. Any of the scripting
languages are better at this.

The best way to keep the base system up-to-date is using csup (which is still referenced in the Handbook in §20.3 as cvsup). For updating the ports tree I can recommend portsnap. For updating the ports themselves I use portmaster. I have always had problems doing this e.g. with Mandrake and other Linuxs and so am reluctant, but if it is usual I'll give it a try. The upgrade tools on FreeBSD work quite well. But if you're rebuilding your own ports it can take quite some time depending on your machine. I've been using the Package Manager so far but will look into using a command prompt at some later time. I've never used Package Manager. I didn't even know FreeBSD had one. :-) I have a drive hda, it has a swap an unused space and four partitions one of which is my home partition hda7. How do I refer to this home partition using ad0??? notation If you do 'ls ad0*' you'll see what is available. Remember that what DOS and Linux calls partitions are called slices in FreeBSD. Partitions in FreeBSD are subdivisions of a slice. E.g. ad0s1a is partition a of slice 1 of ad0. Customarily, slice b is used for swap, and slice c is unused. You can see this with the 'bsdlabel' command. OK, I've done that. this is the result for the drive currently being used by linux. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/pineal]$ ls /dev/ad0* /dev/ad0/dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s6 /dev/ad0s8 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s5 /dev/ad0s7 /dev/ad0s9 - The number of apparent slices (those with a ad0s[n] designation) seen by BSD is one more than the number of linux partitions I actually have. No I haven't miss-counted. I have 1 swapfile partition and five partitions hda5-9 used by linux. Try mounting slices 5-9 with mount_ext2fs (as root). btw I tried to run the bsdlabel command but it returns no valid label found for both ad0 and ad1. My bad. That only works with BSD partitions. Maybe I didn't make myself clear here. I have an existing in-use Linux system. I want to be able to access the /home partition as it contains all my personal data that I will need to move over to FreeBSD when I do the new install. I would still recommend moving the data to a UFS2 filesystem. You might find §16.3 of the Handbook enlightening. did you mean from Ch 16 3. Why will chmod not change the permissions on symlinks? I mean chapter 16, section 3; Adding Disks (on my 6-STABLE system).

Install problems with CD
Hi all, This is my very first post in this list, so I beg for your patience :) I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM Netfinity 5000. I have the two CD's set. The machine uses a IDE DVD drive, and 5 SCSI disks. I boot the machine and the CD starts to boot. I select the FreeBSD normal booting. Everything seems to be fine. I can see the messages about the detected devices (BIOS CDROM is cd0 and so on...) I start the installation, The disks are detected, I set up my partitions and then I select the CD/DVD media installation... and then I get a No CD/DVD drive is present. The drive is working in terms of hardware (I can run several live CD linux distros for example) and then access the CD as usual. How is it possible that after booting with FreeBSD the sysinstall (?) program doesn't detect the cd?

I am creating a new port and part of the install procedure is the install script needs to send some data to a web server in the form of http://.?X where XXX is the url encoded plain text (can include any ascii printable character) that needs to be sent. Since this for a port I want to do the plain to url encoded text with tools *ONLY* found in the base freebsd install (no ports). How would I do this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
