PPPoE config FreeBSD. Need help

[Babek Ismayilov]

Hi,

i need to configure PPPoE in FreeBSD 6.2.

In addition to sponsoring and contributing to the bounty for this project, 
rsync.net is engaged in some discussion(s) with VMware to get and keep 
things moving for this newest port, although status updates are a bit hard 
to come by (perhaps intentionally).

how to enable touchpad for DELL Latitude 100L laptop

[Jin Guojun]

Installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a DELL Latitude 100L laptop but cannot get its 
touchpad configured.
By searching the handbook, it looks like PSM is the device for the 
touchpad, so enabled verbose

during the boot and see some errors for psm0:

kbd0 at atkbd0
atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0:current command byte:0065
psm0: the aux port is not functioning (-1)
atkdbc: atkbdc0 already exists: skipping it

That is all messsage for the psm0, which is in turn not being configured.

Then, I tried this laptop under Windows XP and the touchpad works fine.

Is touchpad not the device psm? or something else I need to enable to 
configure the touchpad?


Can anyone help to configure the touchpad on this laptop?

TIA,
-Jin

flash drive question -- can it be incompatible with FreeBSD

[Andriy Babiy]

Hi everybody,

While looking for a new USB flash drive, I found that some of them come with:
- U3 feature
- ReadyBoost feature
- security software, either pre-installed or zipped on the drive
- hardware data encryption
Some of them need partitioning/formatting.

My question is: is there anything that would prevent me from using such drives 
on FreeBSD machine?
Google shows that U3 can be uninstalled. What about other "features"?

Thank you in advance.

This is a follow-up.  My friend arrived back home and I explained the
problems that I was having.  He said, simple, remark out
postfix_enable="YES" in your rc.conf.  I did.  Problem solved.  Now I
have neither postfix_enable, or sendmail_enable in my rc.conf, and
everything boots without a hitch.  This, of course, flies in the face
of everything that I have heard or read about configuring this program.
When I asked what was starting the program if those entries were no
longer operating he said the shell script contained in rc.d.  

I need to give this a rest.

Shouldn't it remove only libraries from ports?

If you want to get a clean system and to get rid of 6.x libraries from
base system you may be interested in "make delete-old[-libs|-dirs]" at
/usr/src. More info at /usr/src/UPDATING and /usr/src/Makefile.

It is not strictly necessary to rebuild all ports, but I would recommend it
and if you start to install any new ports then you should rebuild all the
old ones first.

Having some ports linked against 6.x libraries while some are linked
against 7.x libraries can very easily lead to problems.
(If one of your old ports (linked against 6.x libraries) provides some
library which is used by one of the new ports (using 7.x libraries) then the
new port can end up using two version of the same system library - both the
6.x version and the 7.x version.  This will almost certainly not work
correctly.)


Thank you for the info, I think I'll rebuild my ports.  I imagine I 
could then use



# portsclean --libclean

to get rid of those 6.x libraries and have a nice *clean* system.

You can take a look at login.conf(5) which probably can provide what you
want.  Depending on exactly how and when (and from where) a process is
started this might not work, but is probably the best that can be done
without hacking the kernel source code.



A process normally inherits the environment from its parent process.
When a process calls some of the exec(3) functions to start a new program it
can also provide a completely new environment which can be completely
independent of the parent's.

The settings in login.conf(5) only (AFAICT) affects processes whose ancestry
can be traced back to a login(1) instance, and where the environment hasn't
been changed along the way.  This should cover most of the processes you are
interested in but perhaps not quite all of them.

If you really want *all* processes to have a certain environment variable
set to a given value you will have to modify the execve(2) system call.
I don't recommend doing this unless you know *exactly* what you are doing
and the possible consequences thereof.

Setting variables in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc (respectively)

ATM DSL - Firewall - Lan How to configure?

[NetOpsCenter]

Aloha,

Anybody on this list know of a how to for configuring a firewall for a 5 
IP ATM DSL? I know that the firewall has to come between the DSL modem 
and the Switch/router for the 5 IP's assigned. However the gateway IP 
must be able to be seen through the firewall in order for the ATM 
circuit to work. So you cant use addresses for the nics.  Is there a way 
to use  incoming and outgoing nic cards in a firewall FreeBSD  box for 
this purpose.
I am looking at a netgear firewall/switch for this purpose but I would 
rather use FreeBSD box for this firewall.


Thanks,

Re: Postfix woes

[Per olof Ljungmark]

This insanity has nothing to do with Postfix, if you can't find the
cron jobs, start scripts, management agents, ... that are doing this,
go back the FreeBSD list and ask for help to find them.

  

Aloha,

I run Postfix/Dovecot under FreeBSD 7* since Jan 2007.
I had trouble with postfix by itself on FreeBSD when I first set up a 
mail server. I then had one of the FreeBSD gurus on the list suggest I 
run Dovecot to make postfix behave nicely on FreeBSD. That solved my 
problems.
If you havent tried this FreeBSD Postfix/Dovecot based install it may 
work for you.
Also if you are running Dovecot remember just start it in /etc/rc.conf 
you dont need to start postfix in there as well.

If you are just running Postfix you have to start it in /etc/rc.conf


I strongly suggests the OP sorts his Postfix problems first, then move 
on. Installing more software that you are not experienced with woulod 
hardly help. The previous suggestions on how to proceed would be a good 
start instead.

FreeBSD and barracudas

[Philip M. Gollucci]

Hi All,

I've got a Barracuda 340
and some FreeBSD 6.2-release systems

I'm attempting to setup DSR (Direct Server Returns)

Firewall -> Switch  WAN Barracuda LAN --
   /\  \/
   ||
   --

The computers are Dell PowerEdge 860s (dual nics) and
on Barracudas docs and recommendations, I've got only nic 0
plugged into the above switch.

I've setup up a non-ARPing loopback
ifconfig lo 192.168.0.50 netmask 255.255.255.240 -arp alias

I can now telnet 192.168.0.50 80 (from the box and see a httpd response)

The problem is the barracuda can not get to it.  I actually don't see 
any reason why it should.  Its supposed to merely rewrite the MAC to one 
of the 'Real Servers' when it receives a request for a VIP (Virtual IP).


Network: 192.168.0.0/22
Firewall/Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.25, 192.168.0.24, 172.28.0.50(different class C)
Broadcast: 192.168.3.255
Netmask: 255.255.252.0

Barracdua WAN: 192.168.0.169
Barracuda LAN: N/A in DSR mode.
VIP: 192.168.0.49
Real Server 1: 192.168.0.50
Real Server 2: 192.168.t0.51


According to the docs, the netmask needs to include everything, so I've 
tried 255.255.252.0 instead of 255.255.255.240 in the above ifconfig.


I've been in contact with Barracuda directly and was lucky enough to get 
someone in IT that likes FreeBSD.


We gave up on Route-Path mode, which I tried first.

Is there something Networking/FreeBSD specific that we/I have overlooked ?

If anyone has any ideas, I am onsite at the data center for the rest of 
today.


TIA

Mouse/Keyboard recommendation?

[Jim Stapleton]

OK regarding my prior wirless mouse troubles - can anyone recommend a
good wireless keyboard/mouse for use in FreeBSD that I can pick up off
of newegg? I know the Logitech Cordless MX Duo works, but they don't
seem to sell those anymore. I'm looking for inexpensive, and with a
full sized [del][ins][home][end][pgup][pgdown] set above the arrow
keys, not just the one with only five of the keys in a funky layout.

I can figure the rest of the stuff out, but I'm not sure where to look
on the 'compatible with FreeBSD' part - I just expected everything to
be such, until I found the Intellimouse Wireless 2.0 was not.

Thank you,

You can do this by proxy-arping; see "man arp":

 Create an ARP entry for the host called hostname with  
the Ether-
 net address ether_addr.  The Ethernet address is given  
as six hex
 bytes separated by colons.  The entry will be permanent  
unless
 the word temp is given in the command.  If the word pub  
is given,
 the entry will be ``published''; i.e., this system will  
act as an
 ARP server, responding to requests for hostname even  
though the
 host address is not its own.  In this case the  
ether_addr can be
 given as auto in which case the interfaces on this host  
will be
 examined, and if one of them is found to occupy the  
same subnet,
 its Ethernet address will be used.  If the only keyword  
is also
 specified, this will create a ``published (proxy  
only)'' entry.
 This type of entry is created automatically if arp  
detects that a

 routing table entry for hostname already exists.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

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

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.

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.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to

Re: lang/gcc34 broken on 8-current?!?!?

[Scot Hetzel]

I had this same problem.  There is an error in the
freebsd-spec.h file which causes __FreeBSD__ to be
defined twice when FBSD_MAJOR=8.  This is caused by
a missing 'else' before the 'if (FBSD_MAJOR == 7)'
statement.

See PR 117287 for the fix.

If you have devel/gccxml installed, you'll also
need PR 117289.

VirtualBox builds from the Innotek svn sources, and the GUI runs but
with some issues.  However, it is possible to boot a full VM instance
from within VirtualBox on a FreeBSD host (which is very promising).
The major missing component (that I'm aware of) is the kernel
acceleration module, so the VM is very slow.

The VirtualBox developers have been receptive to contributions that
were required to get their program to build on FreeBSD, and they have
written a skeleton kernel module as a first step to getting
accelerated VMs on a FreeBSD host.  I suspect that they will also be
receptive if anyone from the FreeBSD community is willing to
contribute to the kernel module completion.

Anyone able to contribute should drop them a line on their dev mailing
list, or visit the IRC channel listed at
http://virtualbox.org/wiki/FreeBSD%20build%20instructions.  I've
currently exhausted my limited porting skills (mostly related to
getting their Makefiles to recognize where FreeBSD keeps relevant
header and include files) and am willing to help continue the effort
in any way I can with help from others more skilled in programming.

KDEWallet is only partially installed?

[Christian Baer]

Hiya folks!

On my Sun (this machine), I only wanted a base KDE with very few apps
installed, as I wanted to choose the ones I needed instead of going with
the big meta-port. So I just installed kde-base. The "whole" KDE wouldn't
be run anyway, but instead usually only a single apps at a time and these
would be displayed on a different computer.

Most of that works fine so far. I'm a little fuzzy on KDE-Wallet though.
It seems to be installed as other apps (like kopete) use it to save
passwords but I can't start (or find for that matter) the manager to
manage the stuff in save in the wallet.

Is that part of another port that I have to install seperately or am I
just missing the point here?

Regards
Chris

The kernel modules always seem to be the main challenge.  This one at
least is open source, so you don't have to try to figure out what is
going on.

I'd help, but I'm not that sort of coder.

My very first instinct was hardware failure. It has all the right
pieces: intermittent, came out of nowhere, weird problems as a result.

But. In the interests of science: I know you said  existing shells stop
working, but does that include the secure shell? ssh into the box when
it's frying itself and see what happens.

Presumably you've checked the /var/log stuff already?

FreeBSD hang without panic

[Andrew Liles]

On a FreeBSD 5.2.1 box that has been in production a long time, I have had
a new type of hang on two days this week, the type of which I have not
seen before.  (No recent software/hardware changes).

Symptom: The machine is a web/email server only.  It stops receiving new
SSH/HTTP/IMAP/POP connections, existing shells cease working.

On the machine itself no messages are shown and the machine responds to
repeated ENTER key presses with the login prompt.  Once you enter "root"
[ENTER] then no further responses (except line feeds as you press ENTER).

What kind of hang is this? Could it be a DoS attack? Or is it some
internal process hanging?  I have a debug kernel but as the only solution
is a power-off reset, I never get any dump.

Any suggestions please where I might start to look, or services to
experiment disabling?

The same fellow is doing the port.  I haven't corresponded with him for
a while, so I can't really say what the current status is.  Quite some
time ago the issue was getting VMware to discuss what goes on in their
kernel module (IIRC).

Agreed.  For me it is the biggest problem with using a FreeBSD desktop.
One other sign of hope: there has been intermittent work on a port of
VirtualBox.  When I checked last, the GUI environment would build.
That's certainly not a complete VM yet, but it is one necessary piece.

Sort of off topic but an other thing (besides run vista) I eventually
want to do is use it as a OS developement platform (writing an OS from
the ground up)

If you use pkgtools.conf, the settings only get picked-up by portupgrade
and tools that can use the ruby libraries. They won't be picked-up
by portmaster, or on a manual "make install"  and by other make targets.

If you are trying to diagnose a build problem, or work out what the
Makefiles are actually doing, it's useful to have them pick-up the
actual portknobs. You can wrap the make.conf definitions inside an
".if defined (SUPPRESS_PORTKNOBS) ... .endif" block to turn them off
and on through the environment.

Re: Postfix woes

I did what you all requested and submitted my Postfix problem to the

all.  That reply is listed below.   This is a rather strange business.

OK.  FIrst of all, don't top post.  It makes it very hard to follow a 
conversation.


When you install FreeBSD, you are the master of your own domain.  That 
means you are completely responsible for everything running on your box.


When you install Postfix, it installs a startup script in 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d.  In order to start postfix, you must either add 
postfix_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf or start postfix manually.  If you 
want postfix to start on reboot automatically, you *must* use the entry in 
/etc/rc.conf.


There are no cron jobs or scheduled tasks installed to restart, reload, 
stop or do anything else to postfix.  This means that you, or someone who 
has access to your box, has set this up.  If you don't recall doing 
anything, then you're going to have to start troubleshooting.


Places to look:

1) su to root and type "crontab -l" to see if there's a cron job designed 
to manipulate postfix, either directly or through a script.  If there is, 
eliminate it.  It's not needed.


2) Look in /etc/periodic to see if there's anything in there (although 
that's highly unlikely).


3) Examine the postfix startup script to  see if someone has altered it in 
some way so that it includes a timer that starts and restarts Postfix


3) Write a script that monitors processes and can detect when something is 
launched at the same time frame that postfix is going up and down


4) Get help from someone knowledgeable who has access to your box

5) Did you install a program (like sysutils/monitord) that checks for 
running processes and attempts to restart them if they're not running?


6) Is there anything in root's mail that would tip you off to the cause of 
the problem?


7) Run postfix in debug mode.  Maybe that will help isolate the cause.

Hi Lisandro,

two things:

1) Please don't top-post. This means that when you hit reply, scroll
down to the *bottom* to post your response. The reason for this is so
that anyone coming along who might be able to help you will be able to
read the entire email conversation in the order it was given. It helps
other people help you! :)


2) If you truly believe the port is broken, you have several options:
a) write to the port maintainer, if it has one, describing your
issue.
b) fix the issue and write to the port maintainer with the patch.
c) If the port has no maintainer, write to the freebsd-ports mailing
list and see if you can get any assistance there. PLEASE note that
there, as here, you'll encounter volunteers. So if no one answers, then
your only real option is to sit down and work on the port yourself.

Strange problem of ipfilter

[budsz]

Hallo,

I got strange problem ipfilter on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. After uptime my
machine running 7 days until 10 days, I can't access DNS, sometime
SSH, and etc,  to my box, but this happen randomly. For example I've
rule like this:

# SSH
pass  in   quick on rl0 proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/24 to
192.168.0.100/32 port = 22 keep state

# DNS
pass  in   quick proto udp from 192.168.0.0/24 to
192.168.0.100/32 port = 53 keep state

Whereis:

192.168.0.0/24 my client block ip, 192.168.0.200/32 ip box running ipfilter.

I try to create rule:

pass in all
pass out all

Then reload ipfilter rule. Or I try to restart my machine with my
default rule. So everything gone be alright. FYI, I use:

root:~# ipf -V
ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.13 (416)
Kernel: IP Filter: v4.1.13
Running: yes
Log Flags: 0 = none set
Default: block all, Logging: available
Active list: 0
Feature mask: 0xa

root:~# uname -srm
FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386

I do compile ipfilter with default block in kernel configuration. This
night I'll try to make world my FreeBSD box and I hope FreeBSD's
commiter already revision with this bug.

Would you give some clue to fix this problem. Thanks you for your help.


TIA

Feeding pkgdb/pkg_which a port creates a directory for that port
in /var/db/pkg.

It then returned a question mark, which kind of sucked, silence being
golden in unix, but I had an entry for openmpi appear in /var/db/pkg

Is this really just meaningless grasping at straws? It looked like this
in conjunction with pkgdb -L would work.

If you have a normal postfix installation from ports, then don't set

Routers shouldn't care about TCP windows so I guess they're actually
referring to the firewalls on NAT-routers.

What I don't get is why a TCP Window problem affects DNS. It's not
mentioned in the Wikipedia article or the referenced tech-recipes.com
link. Surely Vista doesn't routinely do DNS over TCP.

And I agree in part.  On the other hand, how many use multiple
configuration tools?
If there were something that applied to _every_ port - say a
compiler flag - I'd probably be OK with putting it in make.conf.

RE: www.freebsd.org won't load in IE 7.x in vista box.

[Lisandro Grullon]

Hi all, 
after all my frustration finding the answer to this problem, i think I am 
getting closer to my answer. According to Cisco, it appears a problem with 
frimware at our rauting level 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a0080743212.shtml
 , our routers will be upgrade soon to resolve this issue. There is a work 
around I found in another University that seem to be experiencing the same 
problem http://8help.osu.edu/3253.html , I am sorry for taking so long to 
investigated this issue. If you want to learn more about why this issue is 
happening with vista and Cisco Routers, do not hesitate to read RFC 1323 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1323.txt?number=1323 . Thank you to all of you who 
try to find the solution to this problem, all the hints were very helpful.

Thanks Steve, I'm honored by the confidence :)

I've been having network connectivity issues and fell a lot back in my
email backlog.  I'm back online, with a better setup now, so things will
start improving I guess.

> This is not a Sendmail issue, per-se.

You are right about that.  The original email by Duane Winner said:

I need help to resolve a problem with my sendmail server.

In my /var/log/maillog, I've been seeing:

sm-mta[1753]: l9H4EoAn001753: outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com
[69.89.17.210] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection
to IPv4

This usually means that there is an incoming connection from the host
outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com, whose IP address is 69.89.17.210, but the
connection was lost before the host managed to issue any commands to
deliver email, query for alias expansion, and so on.

Whenever I've seen this happening, it is usually some sort of network
setup error, broken routing, a misconfigured router in the path between
the originating host (outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com) and Sendmail, or
something similar.

Re: best way to run vista inside freebsd

[Frank Jahnke]

> I have heard that Win4BSD is really good.

Your hearing is not good.  Win4BSD is a terrible product when compared
with the very old version of VMware.  Its only advantage is that you can
run it with more than one CPU (namely, APIC is enabled).  Win4BSD is
less stable, less responsive, and it appears to be dead as far as
activity goes.  FWIW, in my opinion qemu/kqemu is not particularly good,
either.

VMs in general are a problem on Free.  There is an effort to port the
most recent VMware Workstation by a very good man.  I do hope this
works, because right now things in the VM world on FreeBSD truly are
bleak.

vacation autoresponder

[brad davison]

For our company's FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7 Squirrelmail, I installed the Plugins 
- Local User Autoresponder and Mail Forwarder.  

/usr/bin/vacation is installed on the system, as is vsftp.

Going into squirrelmail, there is now the button for Auto Response, but when 
you click on it, it gives the instructions for the page, but does not have any 
options.

It just says:
'Options - Automatic Forward and Reply
  
  

  

  Here you can define various ways to automatically handle all your Incoming

  you will not keep copies of mail in your mailbox unless you also select

But there nothing below it.Any ideas what I may be missing?

ccache and DESTDIR for ports?

[Erik Cederstrand]

Hi!

I'm installing a small set of ports into lots of jails, using the 
DESTDIR support recently added to the ports system. Each jail contains a 
unique CVS revision of FreeBSD. I'd like to speed up compiles by using 
ccache, but as I understand it, I'll have to install ccache into each 
jail since the DESTDIR implementation chroot's into the jail.


Can I install ccache in each jail first and simply hardlink 
/somejail/root/.ccache to /root/.cache before continuing compiling the 
other ports? Or is that asking for trouble, since each jail might have a 
different gcc installed?


Thanks,
Erik

If you are using GNOME desktop, then you do as following step:

Problem with VNC on AMD64

[David van Kuijk]

Hi

I have been using FreeBSD for several years now on intel32. Now I 
installed it on my new server which is a AMD64. Most things go well, but 
I can't get a Window Manager working under VNC anymore. Here you find 
the VNC log:

wmaker fatal error: it seems that there is already a window manager running


So VNC server will run, and I can connect to it from a VNC-client, but 
the window manager fails to start correctly.


I've tried a different window manager (TWM), but here a similar error 
message occurs:

twm:  another window manager is already running. on screen 0?
twm:  unable to find any unmanaged video screens.


Anybody suggestions how I can solve this?

David

People tend argue that the other way around, that putting port build
settings in a configuration file that's specific to a single tool is
wrong.

You don't have to set anything globally in make.conf, you can do it
like this:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/net-mgmt/net-snmp}
WITH_TKMIB=yes
.endif

and that can be simplified by using portconf, which puts a single line
in make.conf and reads in the settings from its own configuration file.

Re: Strange perl script

[Alex Zbyslaw]

Chad Perrin wrote:


then updatedb and locate sploger so you're using


As was pointed out earlier in the thread, you can easily delete a file 
after running it, so whatever was running may not exist on the disk any 
more.


Also, it is completely trivial to change the name shown by ps simply by 
changing the C equivalent of ARGV[0} which in perl is $0.


Run the following and ps shows "rubbish (perl)" and not "foo.prl (perl)"

foo.prl
---
#!/usr/bin/env perl
$0="rubbish";
sleep 120;

$ chmod +x foo.prl
$ ./foo.prl &
$ ps
7274  p1  S  0:00.00 rubbish (perl)

bar.prl
---
#!/usr/bin/env perl
sleep 120;

$ perl bar.prl &
$ ps
7575  p1  S  0:00.00 perl ./bar.prl


If sploger really was malware, then it was probably picking some name at 
random to show in ps.  The difference between the ps outputs when 
changing $0 hints at that, but I haven't done exhaustive tests.

Victor would know. I suggest that you paste the output of all your CRON jobs,
and perhaps the /etc/rc.conf' file so we can review them. You might also try,
as root, issuing this command: 'atq'. See if anything is listed.

By the way, have you modified any of the startup scripts; i.e., files in

Fair enough.  I don't see any harm in leaving it on, as I tend to pay
attention to any 'irrelevant' messages and fix the source of them, and
if something slips by the firewall I want to know about it.  Sometimes
that means such as delayed responses from DNS being logged, it's true.

In Michael's case in point it did indicate a problem though, or at least
a deficiency in the lack of handling ident requests.  As you say, YMMV.

87.255.255.255

ether 00:15:f2:38:83:59

inet 87.224.232.129 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 
87.255.255.255

No, you can't do MAC address based filtering with pf, I think
other BSDs can tag frames with particular MAC addresses using
if_bridge and then create filtering rules based on tags.

But, it's even easier, you can do it with ifconfig when you
operate as an AP. Search the ifconfig manual for "mac:"

It can be argued that MAC address filtering enhances security.

Pfsense is FreeBSD based and very user friendly. But it's not something
you run "on" FreeBSD, it's a specialized version of FreeBSD. That said,
you *can* ssh to pfsense and control it almost as it were a FreeBSD box.
Perhaps you should give it a try, there is a live CD version.

I assume you mean that you just want to delete certain mails in a queue 
from a certain MTA. I use pfqueue for that, it's a pretty good util for 
queue management. You can tag mails (even if it's a lot of mails) and 
then perform a bulk action on them.

I guess it all depends on which video card he is using. My ATI X1600 Radeon 
doesn't
support 1280x800 (to my knowledge...)
So it is possible that his video card doesn't either?!

Re: Two questions about UNIX(r) certification.

[Joshua Isom]

If I recall correctly, only the i386 version of Leopard is Unix 
certified, so if you're still using a PowerPC, you're out of luck for 
upgrading to a Unix certified operating system.  But I believe a 
previous version was if you'd like to downgrade.


As far as I know, Unix certification is more about interoperability 
than anything else, but there's still the public perception about 
security and stability.  For Apple, it's probably more about bragging 
rights and propaganda than anything else.


Before saying I'm anti-Apple, I'm writing this email using Mail.app.

I'd imagine that the big reason that FreeBSD hasn't done this yet is: 
It costs a lot of money.


That said, if in theory one were to try to get the operating system 
certified (say, to increase awareness and market share versus the 
penguinistas)...


a) approximately how much money is "a lot"?

and

b) How far short, technically, does FreeBSD fall from the standard 
(we'll ignore operational semantics for the time being)

If you are using GNOME desktop, then you do as following step:

System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution -> 1280x800 -> Apply

That's GNOME Rules: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html ;;

Hey, we are saying the same thing, aren't we?

Hm, almost the same thing. I tend to disagree with this. I prefer
log_in_vain off because usually a server will live in a DMZ. And
most of the time we donot bother runnning local firewalls one each
server and some will say it's wrong to do firewalling on each/a server.
Just one firewall protecting the DMZ. Other computing systems
living in the DMZ can cause noise, irrelevant log messages.
I remember a case where delayed replies from the DNS server were
logged by the kernel creating noise and bloating the logs.
Ofcourse YMMV...

But we basically say the same thing... Use log_in_vain to see what
passes your firewall and "touches" your servers. I prefer to turn
it off afterwards, Ian prefers to let it on.

Cheers

Nikos

Asuming that you have installed Xor and KDE:

as root:

# Xorg -configure

this writes the guessed config as $HOME/xorg.conf.new

test it with:

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new

copy it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and do as you (normal user):

% echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
% startx

Re: can you help me?

[Christian Walther]

[Error messages removed]

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Copying error messages, logfile and related information
into a mail can only be a supplement to a proper problem description.
It's evident that you obviously have some kind of hardware problem.
But nobody here on this list can tell what hardware you're using, e.g.
- mainboard
- CPU
- the card in question (as much as possible, including possible chip
revisions, bus type etc.)
- What devices are connected to the card (as it appears to be a SCSI HBA).

The the question is, what software you're using.
- What FreeBSD Version (6.0, 6.1, 6.2, latest Patchlevel, 7.0_PRERELEASE...)
- Information about your kernel: Is it GENERIC, or did you compile your own?
- Are you using i386 or arm64?

And finally:
- What did you try to resolve this issue?
- Did you rule out any hardware related issue, e.g. a broken cable, a
connector not being in place properly. Did you try another slot?
- Oh yes: When does this error show up? During the initialization of
the card? Or when you try to access one of the attached devices?
