I had a five minute try of openoffice writer's equation editor, and my
first impression was that it renders equations very poorly. It seems
to do this even worse thant MS Word.

Since you seem to use the equation feature quite intensively, maybe
you have any clue on making the equation editor perform better.

For my personal use, I stick to TeX, but some people in my
surroundings are looking for a way out of MS-Word.

To those that might be annoyed by the topic shifting, I present my
excuses.

Further more, I have enquire that CityTV center, they give me such info
about the media format as follows:

our CityTV broadcasting service, will only entertain those media players
which can support/decode the following codec formats for streaming:-

- multimedia data file bears the (asf/asx) file extensions ;
- streaming formats using in CityTV:
Video : Microsoft Mpeg- 4 codec V2 [320 x 240, 25fps]
Audio : Mpeg Layer-3 (16KB/s, 11kHz, mono)


Any suggestions? Thanks.


  
I watch TV and listen to a radio via Tunapie application. (Over 100 TV 
and over 1000 radio channels).
My default player for Tunapie is MPlayer but I must concede that VLC is 
exceptional and that I have it as well on my system. My default radio 
player for Tunapie is XMMS.

I guess the answer is "depends on what you need". The most minimal 
system (just a prompt and a few utilities in from /rescue) would 
probably be mfsroot.gz from the installation media. It's around 4MB - 
you can add your own utilities from there, but it's a bit tedious to 
find out exactly which files, utilities and libraries you need. An 
alternative would be to have your root filesystem NFS-mounted. That way, 
you only need a kernel and a few boot files on the flash to boot, if 
your device doesn't support PXE.


There are a lot of tips in the "FreeBSD from Scratch" article [1]. Also, 
Erik Nørgaard's "PXEBoot Guide"[2] has lots of good info on net-booting. 
  And then there's of course FreeNAS[3] if you can get it running on 
your device.

Well, this is what I meant. When I attempt  to double the size I lose
the graphic. It actually give me a double size rectangle with random
pixels (i.e. different pattern depending on which skin I am using).
There is no response to any mouse click anywhere in the window. I did
not check 'top' but yes it can be killed. 

At least I have music while slaving away :)

Thank you everyone who has responded.

http://www.minibsd.org/ -> but claims it'll fit in 16mb flash, not 8mb.

There was an openbsd fork(?) that was along the lines of a pure packet
filter and only a packet filter... stripped to the bare minimum needed to
fit on a flash device. It was shipped with a 486dx2 66, 64mb ram, 3/4
nics... you could download the OS itself and install it on any old machine
you wanted... but if only I could remember the name...

My suggestion would be to buy Textmaker/Planmaker -- it is well worth it
-- but if you are really heavily into math, learn TeX or troff for
document input.  TeX (and its various packagings) is the better of the
two to learn, since most journals take TeX input files but not troff.
(I still consider the eqn preprocessor for troff as the most brilliant
user-level software program ever written.)  Most publishers do take
pdfs, but they complain.

Oh, and if you want to read pdf files and do any editing, you need Adobe
Acrobat (Windows and OS X).  There is nothing in the open-source world
that comes anywhere close.  I run it in a VM and on Windows boxes.

Writing to pdf files from many input formats is handled well with
ghostscript, which is used by many open-source programs.

Philip, thanks for the help. I believe to have found the problem.

I didn't apply the older patch: 
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:23.openssl.asc  which made 
a tiny change to the line  if (len-- == 0)  to  if (len-- <= 0)

Hence, when doing the new update, it failed. 

I've changed the patch file to recognize the older format and that seems to 
have fixed it.

Best,

Tamouh

Again , same thing: mv .xmms to XMMSold got things working; but
doubling the size of the app fails.

WYSIWYG editing for the above including embedded graphics and equations

I also want to keep the learn curve as small as possible (I know
enough troff to be dangerous)

I'm having identical problem for the past week or two.
Rebuilding xmmx seemed to work maybe; or thus far.

> what would be a good replacement(s) for most of it's functionality
> (word processing and spreadsheets are what matter to me)

You really have to decide what you want to suite to do.  Otherwise, your
problem is underspecified.

1) Collaboration (complex).  If you collaborate with colleagues who use
Word (for example) then practically you have to use Word if you deal
with complex documents.  By "collaborate" I mean exchanging documents
back and forth, with edits in each pass.  Mine are always heavy in
equations and chemistry.

Run it in a virtual machine (VMware, Win4BSD, qemu/kqemu) on XP, W2K or
98SE.  You probably don't need the latest and greatest version of Word
unless you colleagues are very sophisticated.  Word 2000 has been fine
for me.

2) Document creation.  If you only want to create documents, and Office
compatibility is not that important, then there are many options:
Abiword/Gnumeric are quite good if you want WYSIWYG (but do install all
the extensions), the formatters TeX and groff are exceptionally powerful
if you learn them well.  Abiword does not read Word files well; Gnumeric
has many short-comings in reading Excel (particularly for graphics) but
is very good otherwise.  Personally I use the groff family for all my
complex documents, but I have used it for 25 years and know it inside
and out.  (Well, it was troff and friends long ago.)

3) Read-only.  You can use Antiword to get the raw text, but you lose
all formatting.  It is a pretty lousy choice in my opinion.
Textmaker/Planmaker do a very good job for this.

4) Mixture.  If you have a general mixture of these tasks and don't want
to set up a VM, use Textmaker.  The programs are quite good, they are
quite compatible with Office (but choke on obscure files I use
regularly, as does OO.o and all the others), and much better than OO.o
and Aibword/Gnumeric in my opinion if you like Word.  They are also
quite inexpensive -- you can often find them for $20 or so on sale from
the publisher.

Personally, I use groff (with chem, grap, pic, refer, tbl and eqn for
all the heavy text formatting), VMware/XP/Office 2003,
Win4BSD/W2k/Office 2000, Textmaker/Planmaker, OO.o, Abiword/Gnumeric,
and Windows computers.  What I use depends on what I am doing.

Good luck!

Frank

In the time honored FreeBSD tradition of answering my own email, I have
XMMS working again.

I moved the .xmms directory in my home directory to old.xmms and
started XMMS again. Low and behold it created a new .xmms directory and
XMMS started. The only problem that I have is I can no longer douvle
the size of the graphic player. 

I didn't mention before but I am using xfce4.4.1_1

recent openssl patch is failing

[Tamouh H.]

Hello,

I've tried patching the latest openssl on FreeBSD 6.1 as per:

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:08.openssl.asc

However, the patching fails mainly due to some problems with the patch on line 
1162 , and I can't seem to find out the reason for it. This had failed on 
multiple FBSD machines, so I'm pretty sure it is the patch.

Here is what the patch is producing:

openssl.patch 100% of 1051  B 5237 kBps
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

This is the error when doing make:

Anyone have tried the patch and experiencing the same issue ?

Thanks,

Tamouh Hakmi

Aloha,
I've had to use AbiWord since I ran into the same problem on 7 CURRENT.

I have a working Open office on a FreeBSD 4.11 box here that I use when 
all else fails.

Is there a way to copy that and have it work on 7 CURRENT?

Re: good replacement for open office

If you don't mind paying for software, I think you'll
find SoftMaker's Textmaker and Planmaker tools wholly satisfatory.
Their spreadsheets is fully compatible with Excel.
They make their products for FreeBSD.
Additionally, if you find quirks, they answer you (once I even saw one of
their guys answer somebody on sci.math.numerical).
*And* they provide regular service packs (bugfixes and improvements).
I've long since ditched OpenOffice because it's always problematic.

To read MSword I like very light appplication antiword. Just antiword -t 
filename. You can create documents with many different programs. Abiword 
is really light.

Gnumeric works wonders with Excell format.

Powerpoint documents are little bit more difficult to read. You can use 
tonic-point viewer but it requires Java which I do not have on my 
system. There is also a program called present.


To be frank with you I use for all my needs TeX except for the 
spreadsheets although even for that you may use TeX.

All of the above combined is 100 times smaller than Open Office.

Has anything been done to correct this? I am still experiencing this on
two separate machines. One of which is running i386 and the other
amd64. Both are running Stable and xorg 7.3

autoconf failure

[Chad Perrin]

First, portversion reports as follows:

  # portversion -v|grep -v =
  autoconf-2.53_4 <  needs updating (port has 2.61_2) 
  autoconf-2.59_3 <  needs updating (port has 2.61_2)

Then, /usr/ports/UPDATING fails to note anything about the new autoconf
version other than the following:

  The ports tree has been migrated to the latest version of autoconf,
  2.61.  Versions 2.53 and 2.59 were declared obsolete and removed.

Finally, using portupgrade to try to update my autoconf version yields
the following results:

  ===>   autoconf-2.61_2 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/autoconf261
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261.

  --->  Restoring the old version

I also get this:

  ** Port marked as IGNORE: x11-servers/xorg-server-snap:
is outdated

I'm not entirely sure what that's about.

I imagine it wouldn't be safe to `make deinstall` all things autoconf,
then try to `make install` autoconf.  Am I wrong about that?  Is there
some other way to fix this?  Have I overlooked something obvious?

That's a loaded statement. "It didn't hurt much for me" would be more to the 
point. I'm also advising to move to PHP 5, but don't just install it and wait 
for your customers/vistors to call with their problems.
There's a few extensions that have been abandoned, if you use one of those, 
you're in for a surprise - also some functions behave slightly different. I'd 
do some solid research first or better, copy your apps to a test machine 
running php 5, test everything, then let your peers test everything and then 
let a spider crawl through it.

Don't know how it affects amd64, but I know patches have been
committed in the last calendar week.  What would not build on i386
then just finished building two hours ago.

Yes.  
Actually, you can open that file and start reading it in Perl and
open files to write out the chunks the way you want them.  Then close
each.  Make up a name with a counter in it to create all the many 
files of chunks.  Suck off some data/statistics and accumulate info you 
want as you go.   You could even decide some of it isn't worth keeping
and cut the size of your chunks down if you don't need all of it.
But, you would have to close each of those chunk files or you would
run out of space for open files.   So, there would have to be a counter
loop to keep track of how much was written to each chunk and an open
and close for each one.

I don't understand because my port tree is up to date !!

Any idea ?


Yes it means that the port you're trying to update to has security 
issues. If you're feeling lucky you can do:

portupgrade -m DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes php

But it's not a good idea. If you build it anyway and get hacked, don't 
say you weren't warned ;-)


PHP4 is EOL; the fact that 4.4.7-2 has vulnerabilities is only
surprising because it's still listed as the latest "historical"
PHP release on php.net, and they have promised on the front page
to continue to support PHP4 until the end of the year.  One can't
judge without further research, but perhaps the development team
is dragging their feet on purpose for some reason, or they've
maybe handed PHP4 off to a couple of junior guys who are pulling
their hair out on it?  All conjecture.

I'd advise moving to PHP5 now.  It doesn't hurt much.  Main
thing I remember is that short_tags=off and I had
to replace quite a few of those

There's probably a reason why you want to process that file - splitting it can 
be a problem if you need to keep track of some states and it splits on the 
wrong line. So, I'd probably open it in perl (or whatever processor) directly 
and use a database for storage if I really need to keep string contexts, so 
that on each line iteration my perl memory is clean.

I have servers running 6.1 and 6.2.  I use freebsd-update in cron jobs

in cron jobs to install port updates.  By default, cvsup uses CURRENT
branch.

The ports system doesn't have any branches. The same tree is used between
all the different FreeBSD branches so you can't just track security
updates only. You track it using portupgrade/ cvsup.

The base system has many branches. In your case, you seem to be following
the security branches for 6.1 and 6.2 using freebsd-update.


I am tired of some updates breaking something unnecessarily, and am

thinking

of changing to SECURITY branch in cvsup.  Is that possible?  Some of my
ports are already locally compiled with customized options.

Maybe you can provide more info on what's breaking?

I use FreeBSD for a couple of headless machines. No X and other stuff, but
I haven't had any breakages so far. *touchwood* Do go though the UPDATING
file to check out any gotchas before updating.

HTH,

 http://rakhesh.net/



I'm grateful to all your clarifications, as I feel this operation system is
really supported with care.

Our uw-imap was broken recently for a few days as people could not login, so
I had to switch to dovecot.  Nothing was mentioned in the UPDATING file,
although there was indeed a big update of uw-imap.  I only got relieved
after finding
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-October/044051.htmlposted
a couple days later.

Things similar to this, although to less extent, did happen once a couple
months, sometimes the "postfix" and other startup scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ will be renamed to "postfix.sh" or vice verser by port
upgrade, that broke my other scripts.

As everyone appears to suggest against updating ports in cron job and
suggest reading UPDATING instead and then updating by hand, I'm really
curious: Is it practical to do that when you manage a dozen servers?  I
imagine doing that alone would be a substantial job.  However crontab
updated ports do take down services from time to time.

Sounds like you may want a Perl script to automate managing your
tcpdumps.

Just a thought.

Perl will happily load stuff into RAM until you run out of RAM.  I
imagine it would then keep loading stuff into "memory", and the box would
start swapping.  Eventually, you'd run out of swap space.

Perl is known to some as the "Swiss Army chainsaw" for a reason: it'll
cut limbs off trees about as quickly as you can put limbs in front of it.
If you put one of your own limbs in front of it (say, a leg), it'll do
exactly the same thing -- but with more bleeding and screaming.

It's kinda like Unix, that way.

LOL, on a production box?...nope.

Hence why I asked here, probing if someone has made this mistake before
I do ;)

The reason for the massive file size was my haste in running out of the

Perl most certainly wouldn't make the box panic (at least I hope so :-)), but 
would barf and quit at some point in time when it can't allocate any more 
memory (because all memory is in use). Meanwhile, your swap would've filled 
up completely, and your box would've become totally unresponsive, which goes 
away instantly the second Perl is dead/quits.

Try it. ;-) (at your own risk)

I don't have a log.h:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD blizzard.dancer 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Sep 19 21:56:10 
EST 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DELLGX150  i386
$ cat /usr/local/include/log.h
cat: /usr/local/include/log.h: No such file or directory

I would do:

mv /usr/local/include/log.h /usr/local/include/log.h.backup

And try rebuilding ffmpeg again.  While it rebuilds, try to find out
where log.h came from. :)

Move it to XXX-log.h and recompile? If that's causing the error (and it's very 
likely at this point), then all you need to do is find out how that got there 
and whether you need it :).
Any hints in that file that shows what it's part of? Like a cvs id or function 
prefixes.

I'm curious which port installed log.h. I don't have it on my system and it 
wouldn't surprise me if a local log.h conflicts with this log.h.

Could you show output of:

I have tried, yeah. It makes no difference. 

A couple of other things to note:

1. after a make deinstall, the only way to reinstall this package (which
needs to be install for a portupgrade -a to work) is with pkg_add -r. 

2. uname -a:

Have you tried a "make clean" in between? i.e., are you still using the broken

ffmpeg not installing

[James]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to do a portupgrade, and have managed it successfully the
last few weeks save for one package, ffmpeg. Here's the output of the
attempted install:



In file included from bitstream.h:35,

Do you folks have any ideas on this one? I was attempting a "make
deinstall && make reinstall" to see if that would overcome it at the
time.

That's probably the best option for a one-shot deal like this.  On the
other hand, Perl itself provides the ability to go through a file one
line at a time, so you could just read a line, operate, write a line (to
a new file) as needed, over and over, until you get through the whole
file.

The real problem would be reading the whole file into a variable (or even
multiple variables) at once.

Is that just one machine, or a cluster in a load balancing setup?
You may not be pinging the same physical machine all the time.

Looks like that's exactly right.  Copying the maintainer and suggesting

Its very wierd -- mine from VA went the same path -- I couldn't ping it,
but I did an nmap on it and port 80 was listed as open.

Other times it's died, but not in yahoo -- I have access to some
computers at OSUOSL.

I would think it would be sufficient just to restart any such ports, 
rather than completely rebuild them, to ensure that the updated version
of the OpenSSL libs are loaded, and not the old broken ones.

However, it can't do any harm to rebuild, if you're that worried about it.

I'm sure someone will put me right if that's not the case, though.

2 things are key to answering first:
1) Are these valid/wanted connections?

I assume if this is caused by your ftp server being filled with PSX downloads, 
because your anon user has write privileges, you don't want to increase your 
connection possibilities.

2) Do you have memory free at top load?

If you don't have (a lot of) spare memory at connection peak, adding the 
ability for more connections will simply slow down your machine and possibly 
lock it up.

> if pf is being overloaded?

Unless you're using synproxy states, pf doesn't create connections - at best 
rewrites them. In your case, using synproxy states might actually be a 
benefit, depending what's causing the high load.
Also, is this a firewall only or does it have locally generated traffic?

> Is there anything else I could be doing to see if some part of the OS is
> failing to handle load?

It would help if you describe what's running on the machine, most notably, are 
these connections to one or more servers running on your machine or is your 
bittorrent client going bonkers, that kinda thing.
sockstat(1) is a very useful tool for identifying that. Better save the output 
to file first with a load like that, for example:
sockstat -4c > /tmp/net.load will list all the connected IPv4 sockets to 
file /tmp/net.load.

Depending on whether you want to capture only specific parts of the dump
in the 'split output', you may have luck with something like:

tcpdump -r input.pcap -w output.pcap 'filter rules here'

This will read the file sequentially, which can be slower than having it
all in memory, but with a huge file like this it is probably a good idea :)

Interesting bit of online posting, but watch out for misinformation or
even outdated information though.

The article may seem useful for `no_default_msa', but it also contains a
wealth of bogus stuff like:

"There are good reasons to compile your own copy of sendmail
instead of using the copy provided to you as part of your
Unix distribution.  First, the copy of sendmail included in
your Unix distribution is probably grossly out of date.
sendmail changes frequently, and some of these changes
provide critical security fixes. Sticking with an outdated
copy of sendmail is just asking for trouble."

In the case of FreeBSD, this is usually wrong, and bad advice.  We have
a pretty active Sendmail maintainer, Gregory Shapiro, who is also part
of the Sendmail development team.  Whenever a new release of Sendmail is
out, Mr. Shapiro updates the Sendmail version of FreeBSD-CURRENT and
after a reasonable amount of testing (usually a few days, to make sure
nothing was broken) "backports" the upgraded version to FreeBSD-STABLE.

The quoted paragraph may be true for a semi-random Linux distribution,
but this is FreeBSD; we don't usually do stuff by "manually compiling
and merrily hacking away at whatever we fancied this afternoon" :-)

I would think installing zope-plone would pull in all the right dependencies:
cd /usr/ports/www/plone
make clean install

If that doesn't work, and you really need py24- I can't help you, but maybe 
someone else can.

It doesn't look like anything in the base system uses this function, but I
just zgrepped my /usr/ports/distfiles and found that mysql uses this if it
is compiled with DBUG_OFF not defined.  Assuming that you keep all of your
ports distfiles, you can run
$ zgrep -R SSL_get_shared_ciphers /usr/ports/distfiles
and any applications which use said function will probably show up.

But as for a deep analysis -- not that I'm aware of.  We fixed this because
there might be an application which used this function in a way which made
this buffer overflow exploitable, not because we knew that such an application
existed.

Would any ports which may have been built based on openssl libraries

The final result ended up as:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')

Apache (i.e. mod_ssl) is affected by this. That's what makes the patch

This seems to be a common question among the "freebsd-update" utility
users as well (like myself :)).
The short answer is, the p-something number changes only if you
recompile the kernel after such an update.
So, if you just need this change to be reflected in your uname -a
output, just make buildkernel / make installkernel

Managing very large files

[Steve Bertrand]

Hi all,

I've got a 28GB tcpdump capture file that I need to (hopefully) break
down into a series of 100,000k lines or so, hopefully without the need
of reading the entire file all at once.

I need to run a few Perl processes on the data in the file, but AFAICT,
doing so on the entire original file is asking for trouble.

Is there any way to accomplish this, preferably with the ability to
incrementally name each newly created file?

TIA,

Steve

security patches and release number question

[Duane Winner]

Hi,

Question about patch numbers and applying patches:

Last night, I got the openssl security advisory, and this morning am 
starting to patch my servers.


I've always just done a "make build world; make build kernel; make 
install kernel; make install world" when I've need to patch.


Today, however, I thought I would just try to do the patch on the 
openssl libs as described in the advisory. I think it worked just fine, 
but my question is this:


How do I keep track of which systems I've patched if I just do a "patch 
< patchfile" instead of the whole world/kernel thing?


uname -an still shows 6.2-RELEASE-p7 instead of "p8"; I use this to keep 
track of which servers I've patched and which I haven't.


Is there a way to handle this?

Thanks,
DW

Hello!

I have a 5.3 installation which currently has about 5000 'ESTABLISHED' TCP
connections.  That figure quadruples in the evening.

Are there any sysctls that I should be tweaking to handle lots of TCP
connections?

The machine is running pf -- is there some logging I could be doing to see if
pf is being overloaded?

Is there anything else I could be doing to see if some part of the OS is
failing to handle load?

Unfortunatly, I don't really have any concrete symptoms to suggest that the
networking part of this OS is overloaded.  Any suggestions for finding real
problems would be gratefully received :)

Hi Yong,

I did have this sort of working [I'm not convinced I had it 100%  
right,

though my friend claimed he was able to join my network and browse my

I'll write one and post it today.  Coincidentally, I'm doing a re-

difficult.  Most of the instructions out there just make it all seem  
so.  Where it *can* get complicated, though, is when you're pushing a  
bunch of different routes across the VPN connection.


You'll be able to view my OpenVPN instructions at: https://www.secure-

The only thing I can say is that I had a pc chips board in the early 90's, for

I have read Chapter 2 of the HandBook, but for me there isn't solution there.
Keep in mind, I haven't: cd device, floppy device, or internet connection 
during the installation's process.
My problem is the boot.

With linux I can start the installation from HD using only  
the cd's iso image (placed on the HD), the bootloader Grub (already installed), 
and two files (initrd and kernel) that start the installation  process. 
With linux I can install another linux_Operative_Sistem without  any external 
devices (cd, floppy, or internet).

For instance, in my file /boot/grub/menu.lst there is these commands

Hi Philip,

It builds for me now - though it seems a change was made to the master port
to bump the revision number:

Wed Oct 3 15:18:43 2007 UTC (18 hours, 2 minutes ago) by timur
Branches: MAIN
CVS tags: HEAD
Diff to: previous 1.27: preferred, colored
Changes since revision 1.27: +1 -1 lines

Bump the PORTREVISION to make last changes being seen.

So that seems to have done it. Appreciate your help.

Regards,

Barry

Yes it means that the port you're trying to update to has security 
issues. If you're feeling lucky you can do:
portupgrade -m DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes php

But it's not a good idea. If you build it anyway and get hacked, don't 
say you weren't warned ;-)

I need to run external USB  drives.

While backing up to a USB hard drive at random times the computer locks
up or reboots with some, but not all of the systems.


The XP3100's work fine and dmesg shows a ntel 82801GB/R ICH7 USB
controller.
The XP3400 shows a GENERIC usb 2.0 chipset and a scan of the PCI bus
shows a slightly differant motherboard chipset (I cant remember what it
was).


I set up my Dell server at home with 2 differant USB/PCI cards each with
a differant chipset and got the same type of errors.


One was NEC and dmesg shows

ohci1:  mem 0xfeb01000-0xfeb01fff irq 24 at
device 14.0 on pci1
usb1:  on ohci1
uhub1:  on usb1
ohci2:  mem 0xfeb0-0xfeb00fff irq 23 at
device 14.1 on pci1
usb2:  on ohci2
uhub2:  on usb2
ehci0:  mem 0xfeb02000-0xfeb020ff irq
22 at device 14.2 on pci1
usb3:  on ehci0
uhub3:  on usb3


The via shows

ohci0:  mem 0xfe22-0xfe220fff irq 5
at device 15.2 on pci0
usb1:  on uhci0
uhub1:  on usb1
uhci1:  port 0xccc0-0xccdf irq 23 at device

usb2:  on uhci1
uhub2:  on usb2
ehci0:  mem 0xfeb00800-0xfeb008ff irq 22
at device 14.2 on pci1
usb3:  on ehci0
uhub3:  on usb3

Both of thease chipsets freeze at ramdom times under FreeBSD 6.2 and
7-CURRENT (as of a few days ago)


The errors on the screen which dont make it to the log are;


sleeping thread (tid 100015, pid 19) owns a non-sleepable-lock
panic: sleeping thread
cpuid=1


and


panic: Trying sleep, but thread marked as sleeping prohimited
cpuid=0
[thread pid 13 tid 12]
stoped at kbd-enter + ox32: leave db7


The only error in /var/log/messages is

messages.error:Sep 19 19:19:04 mauibuilt savecore: reboot after panic:
sleeping thread

Any help or suggestions would be greatly apriciated, and if anyone knows
of an add in PCI card with yet a differant chipset that does not have
problems, please let me know.

As far as I can tell the change was introduced back in 2002 when rmuser was
changed from a Perl program into a shell script - presumably as part of the
process of removing Perl from the base system.
FreeBSD versions 2.2 - 4.11 used the Perl version of rmuser, while all
5.x and 6.x releases have used the shell script version.

I have no idea if the difference - if the file rmuser looks for has a leading
'.' in the filename or not - was deliberate or simply a mistake, but I
suspect the latter: it is the kind of thing that is very easy to miss when
rewriting a program in another language.
