What is procmail dies
Hi, On my mail server, I am using sendmail as transport agent procmail to deliver the mail to the final user mailbox. Procmail runs the mail trough SpamAssassin, and it some time happens that teh SpamAssassin process goes to the wild. I have seen that happening when the user disk is over quota for example, or when some of the SpamAssassin user's file get corrupted. In that case, SpamAssassin process will never end until it is manually killed. I am wondering what happens to the message that was being processed: it was already out of sendmail, so will it be bounced anyway, or will it be lost (bad bad). TIA, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Now it is ntpd that can't find anything
Hello again. I set up ntpd on FreeBSD 6.2 and am getting complaints from ntpd that there is no route to such and such address. It gives what appears to be an interface card address. I found several time servers and listed them in ntp.conf. One is unreachable as demonstrated by ping failure. The rest respond without hesitation, both to dig and ping. But why would ntpd be looking for interface addresses and not ip/domain names? The recent resolver problems I had have been solved, to the extent they have been a problem. Is ntpd trying arp or rarp for these addresses or is it something else I am not aware of? This is the first time I have dealt with ntp. I am trying to follow instructions from latest FreeBSD handbook.

It's possible some early VMWare products (Like VMWare Workstation 3) work on FreeBSD 7, but a) you can't buy that products any more and b) you probably wouldn't want to use them even if you did. The only approximately useful option is Qemu, but it's slow and may not work on AMD64. There's a donation box on http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/2007cb.html for developers to get VMWare Workstation working on FreeBSD but the status of the project is unknown. There's also some indication someone is working on VirtualBox but that's probably in very early stages (and besides that, VirtualBox doesn't work reliably). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I created 2 slices, as with the above shown partitioning I > was running out of mount-points for this slice. What do you mean by "running out of mount-points"? Do you mean you don't have any more bsdlabel entries available (e.g. the "a" part of "ad0s1a")? If so, you should probably stop using bsdlabels for everything except the root partition (i.e. make ad0s1a the root, make all other space into ad0s2 and sub-partition ad0s2 with GPT. This "weird" setup is required because 7.0 can't boot from GPT). > Is such a layout reasonable? Or is it stupid to use a dedicated slice > just for journaling and better skip e.g /tmp partition to leave space > for a dedicated journaling partition on this slice? In your case, it doesn't really matter from the technical point of view. It's easier for administration when the journal is embedded on the same slice as the file system. >Btw. are 10gb > enough for journaling of 6 partitions? Or do I need one dedicated > partition for journaling each? Required journal size depends on the speed of your drive and journal switch (sync) time intervals. You need at least (drive_speed * switch_time * 2) space for the journal (e.g. for a drive that does 50 MB/s and for switch time of 10 seconds, you need 50*10*2=1 GB). The reasoning behind the magic number "2" is that you need two journal areas, one being used and the other committed. > What do you people out there suggest? How do you handle systems with > gmirror and gjournal combined? Or even use ZFS although ram is limited > (as the machine will serve up several jails with e.g. postgres)? You probably don't want to use ZFS with 512 MB of RAM if you need the machine up 24/7. If you have that many file systems, one journal per file system is about the only thing you can do (and it doesn't matter if the file system is on a regular or gmirrored drive). A slightly simpler solution would be to mirror the whole drives (ad0+ad2) but it's mostly a cosmetical issue. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

They have a friendly community that can help most problems. > Thanks for the 'points'. I certainly get the fact that all OSes have bugs. That's not my concern. What's a bit confounding is why/how the "process" allows two very mainstream & released/stable versions of programs (Apache 22 & Berkeley DB 46) to not play nice together for so long. ( Reading the PR reference from above, it's been at least a solid month, if not longer ...). It's not liike my expectation was to get anything but the most popular, widely used, programs set up. To a Newby, it seems like a guessing game as to what works and what doesn't. Frustrating, if only after an extended 'sales job' on how the ports system makes such problems go away got me here in the 1st place. And, yes the Ubuntu crowd has been very responsive -- and I do have a fully functional server with up to date program version up and running (mostly) without any of problems of out of date Ports not being dealt with. That said, I've stumbled on the PF firewall. After the headache I was getting trying to learn & configure IPTables, it's seemingly straightforward to use. And, if I read correctly, NOT available in the Linux world, only on OpenBSD & FreeBSD. So, I've some choices to make. The PR author replied to an email I sent, and has given me some options to "workaround" the out of date Apache22 port instead of downgrading to an earlier/older version of Berkeley DB. But that's starting to get me into a system that isn't managed by a port-management system. Which is what I was hoping to avoid in the first place. All of this would cease to be a problem for me if that port were simply updated. But, that seems unlikely anytime soon without some intervention by someone with the right knowledge & clout. That's certainly not me. Regards, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Clean shutdown - but who made the shutdown?
Hi, I have odd situation with one of our servers: it suddenly shut down to system halt. This is what makes think of that it was a shutdown: Oct 30 18:21:23 x kernel: Stopping inetd. Oct 30 18:21:23 x kernel: Shutting down daemon processes: Oct 30 18:21:23 x ntpd[687]: kernel time sync enabled 6001 Oct 30 18:21:27 x kernel: . Oct 30 18:21:33 x last message repeated 6 times Oct 30 18:21:34 x kernel: daemon process stopped And in fact, the machine was powered off, when I saw it at the datacenter. I powered it on and it came up with no filesystem checks. It was cleanly shut down. We have accounting turned on, but lastcomm does not display any commands like shutdown, halt or init. I suspected that someone could have pressed the power button but I don't see any acpi events in the logs. There is a apcupsd running on that system, but there are no apcupsd.events logged and the battery is fully charged. Can someone give me a hint, where else I could look at to find the culprit? What could be the cause to cleanly shutdown a system off without anything logged by process accounting?

No, as the same problem exists. What you're looking for is a statically compiled binary. There have been a few threads in the October about statically compiling bash. If you look hard enough, you'll even find someone who claims that the only shells for unix lovers are sh, csh, and tcsh. But I like bash's tab completion.

Personally, I use zsh for root's shell, and I just have the port
compile it statically, so I don't have to worry about a broken
dependency. There are other caveats, of course.
In my case, I just throw this in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/shells/zsh}
NO_SHARED=yes
.endif

I've been building it for years, and in my experience it's just like any other port, mostly it builds, occasionally it doesn't, when it doesn't I just stick to the old version until it does. Its complexity make it a bit more unreliable, but not radically so.

It's only really root that matters. There is a alternate account called toor which you can use with bash if you like, it has a uid of zero like root, and the same home directory, so it's just the same. It's also possible to build a statically linked version of bash from ports if you want. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can define WITH_STATIC_BASH when you're building bash, so the binary is self-contained. But if you're starting in single user mode, only / will be mounted. So if you have /usr or /usr/local on a separate partition, you'd be screwed. That is why root should only use a shell that's in the / partition.

Correct: there is a continual process of testing and compilation of ports
for all supported OS versions and architectures. You can see the results
here:
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/
and there's also
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/index.html
which summarises all of the known issues within the ports tree.
However, due to resource limitations it's only ever the *default* set of
options that are used when test-compiling any port. At the moment, the
ports system uses databases/db41 (db41-4.1.25_4) as the default version
of Berkeley DB -- you can find that out by reading
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.database.mk
As to why db41 is still considered the default -- probably because no one
has requested it be updated and there isn't a specific maintainer to take
care of bsd.database.mk. In any case, changes to the ports infrastructure
like that will require a test package build run before being committed, and
that's not a trivial undertaking. There's a ports freeze coming up prior to
the release of FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0 so it's exceedingly unlikely to be changed
in the next month or two.

Fear not. You can install several BDB ports for different versions of BDB
simultaneously. No need to rip out any ports you've previously compiled
against bdb46 and rebuild them. You can make just apache depend on bdb44 by
a snippet like the following in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22}
WITH_DBM= bdb
WITH_BERKELEYDB=db44
.endif
That's assuming you want to install apache-2.2.6 -- there are several other
versions of apache in the tree, and you can use much the same sort of construct,
just changing the 'www/apache22' bit, to apply options to those ports.
See also the ports-mgmt/portconf port for a possibly more user friendly way of
doing this sort of thing.

I usually find that so long as I've accounted for anything from
/usr/ports/UPDATING, then just trying to install or upgrade the port is
successful 99 times out of 100. Only on the 100th time is it necessary to go
hunting around in bug databases and so forth.
The ports tree contains over 17,000 individual ports, maintained by a wide
variety of volunteers or (in perhaps too many cases) without any particular
person
or group of people to maintain them at all. Despite this, over all the quality
and consistency of ports is generally good. There will be occasional problems
- -- and when these are reported, usually they are fixed with a great deal of
dispatch.

You friend is living in a dream world, I'm afraid. It is practically
impossible to have zero problems in any large collection of software packages or
ports like this. Ubuntu has it's points and a lot of people find it suits them
very well, but to my mind it is best fitted to being a point'n'click style
desktop
for Windows refugees. FreeBSD (IMHO) is unbeaten as a serious Unix server
platform,
but to get the best out of it, you should not be afraid of getting to grips
with command line interfaces.

Matthew

Migrating a file system with minimal downtime
I want to migrate a file system containing multiple jails from a small drive to a large (RAID-1) array. I want to do this with minimal downtime. Simply shutting down the jails and using dump/restore to move the file system takes too long, but what if I do it in several steps like this: 1. "dump -0 -L -f - /usr/jails | restore -rf -" to dump the live file system at level 0 2. shut down the jails 3. unmount the original file system 4. "dump -1 -f - /usr/jails | restore -rf -" to dump any changes since the first dump 5. remount the new file system in the proper location 6. restart the jails This should work, right? Or am I missing something?

I've only ever heard this advice applied to the root account. Generally speaking, I keep my root accounts using /bin/csh and I run (z|k)sh on my user accounts.

For screen, you can just change the SHELL environment variable before you run it: SHELL=/usr/local/bin/pdksh screen New screen windows will use the new shell.

There was a pretty long thread on this here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-October/159670.html Another issue that you'll have to contend with is that if your filesystem on which bash lives fails to mount, you'll be in the same boat.

I'll keep this in mind, and eventually investigate. But for now I can't exactly agree OR disagree, since Apache22 simply doesn't install on Freebsd because of this out of date Port. I've just been told that there's some sort of a Port version freeze in place in preparation for the version 7 release (?), which will delay any update to that Apache22 port even longer. I've swapped in an Ubuntu disk, and I can say that Apache 2.2.4 & BerkeleyDB 4.6.19 install just fine on Ubuntu right out of the box. I'm not sure which way to go now. Being a big believer in "a bird in the hand ...", I'm leaning towards Ubuntu instead, beacuse it works now. But, I'll Google some more for objective comparisons to be sure.

Using a binary package will make no difference - it will still cause dependencies to be installed, just as if you built it from source.

Re: Recommended servers for FreeBSD
Hi, ok, I did not buy any kind of servers in recent times. Before I either took Tyan motherboards for real low-cost servers and either got them built into a machine by the supplier or even did it myself. Both routes offered the best price/performance ratio. In all other cases I took Fire servers from Sun. I believe the biggest difference between IBM and Sun will actually be the people who will finally arrive at your site in case of problems. The same should be true for HP. Erich Andrew Wasilczuk wrote: Hi, I'm interested to see what servers people use for FreeBSD. I used to buy the IBM xSeries x306 for firewalls and web servers and the x206 for low budget file servers, but both aren't being sold anymore. I recently got a few IBM x3200 and x3550. They are really nicely built and I hardly have any problems. However, the on-board RAID controllers (Adaptec AIC-9580W) aren't supported under FreeBSD so I fit them with 3ware 9000 series RAID cards. Although I really like those 3ware cards, it seems like an extra expense that could be avoided. What servers do you guys buy and why? I would really like to have the on-board RAID supported.

If one tries the extraction with tar xf 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso The complaint about the out-of-order file is the only indication that anything is wrong. In looking at the man page for tar, nothing jumps out at me as to how to end up with the proper file structure that mkisofs can put back in to an image to put on a CDROM.

libXfont not installing
Hi folks, I'm having issues getting libXfont installed from ports. It's a requirement of a lot of different things, such as xorg, xpdf etc. The problem that ran up to this was a while back, upgrading x11 from 6.9 to 7.2, I apparently borked it but didn't notice. I remembered everything as going off smoothly, but then the upgrade to 7.3 broke. I checked pkg_info and found that some of the x11 components were still at 6.9, some were at 7.2, and some were at 7.3. So that was bust. I managed to get x updated consistently to 7.3, but libXfonts errored. And has been erroring for a long, long time. I can't seem to get this one ironed out. It *looks* like a library is being called on that shouldn't be. Here's the relevant output: ===>Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/xorg/libraries in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> Extracting for xorg-libraries-7.3_1 ===> Patching for xorg-libraries-7.3_1 ===> Configuring for xorg-libraries-7.3_1 ===> Installing for xorg-libraries-7.3_1 ===> xorg-libraries-7.3_1 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/x11.pc - found ===> xorg-libraries-7.3_1 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xfont.pc - not found ===>Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xfont.pc in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/libXfont ===> Building for libXfont-1.3.1,1 make all-recursive Making all in src Making all in fontfile /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC--mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../include/X11/fonts -I../../include -DFONT_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY= \"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir\" -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAS_FCHOWN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT -I/usr/local/include -MT fontencc.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/fontencc.Tpo -c -o fontencc.lo fontencc.c cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../include/X11/fonts -I../../include -DFONT_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY= \"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir\" -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAS_FCHOWN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT -I/usr/local/include -MT fontencc.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/fontencc.Tpo -c fontencc.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/fontencc.o fontencc.c:34:31: X11/fonts/fontenc.h: No such file or directory In file included from fontencc.c:35: ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:32: error: syntax error before "FontEncPtr" ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:32: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:33: error: syntax error before "font_encoding_find" ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:33: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `font_encoding_find' ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:33: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:34: error: syntax error before "FontEncPtr" ../../include/X11/fonts/fontencc.h:34: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype fontencc.c: In function `font_encoding_from_xlfd': fontencc.c:42: warning: implicit declaration of function `FontEncFromXLFD' fontencc.c:42: warning: nested extern declaration of `FontEncFromXLFD' fontencc.c:42: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast fontencc.c: At top level: fontencc.c:46: error: syntax error before "font_encoding_find" fontencc.c:47: warning: return type defaults to `int' fontencc.c: In function `font_encoding_find': fontencc.c:48: warning: implicit declaration of function `FontEncFind' fontencc.c:48: warning: nested extern declaration of `FontEncFind' fontencc.c: At top level: fontencc.c:53: error: syntax error before "FontEncPtr" fontencc.c:54: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype fontencc.c: In function `font_encoding_recode': fontencc.c:55: error: `encoding' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c:55: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once fontencc.c:55: error: for each function it appears in.) fontencc.c:55: error: `mapping' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c:59: warning: implicit declaration of function `FontEncRecode' fontencc.c:59: warning: nested extern declaration of `FontEncRecode' fontencc.c:59: error: `code' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c: At top level: fontencc.c:64: error: syntax error before "FontEncPtr" fontencc.c:65: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype fontencc.c: In function `font_encoding_name': fontencc.c:66: error: `encoding' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c:66: error: `mapping' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c:70: warning: implicit declaration of function `FontEncName' fontencc.c:70: warning: nested extern declaration of `FontEncName' fontencc.c:70: error: `code' undeclared (first use in this function) fontencc.c:70: warning: re

Re: Regarding Flow of sendto (UDP) using IPv6.
Hi All, Thank You for the reply. But I still haven't got the information I am expecting. I am using the *FreeBSD IPv6 stack*. I would be very grateful if you help me to know the following: 1) I wrote the UDP client server program, the client is continously sending packets to server till some condition is met and then recieving the packets from the server untill some other condition is met. The code is working fine. I want to know how the *sendto flow works in the client when I am continously calling it without bind??* Doesn't it require connection to be disconnected after each sendto? if no why? Ex: sendto calls sendit and sendit calls kern_sendit in it and then using prusend the control goes to sosend and udp6_output is called. In udp6_output what are the functions it enters when 1st time sendto is called and in the subsequent sendto calls? i,e *what is the diffrence in th code flow?* 2) I used the same code using other IPv6 stack which has *FreeBSD ported* in it but here the same code doesn't work. If bind is used it works properly. Without Bind it fails at the function if (!IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&in6p->in6p_faddr)) in udp6_output when tryin the send packet 2nd time. I am not able to find where *in6p->in6p_faddr is initialised to 0*(which i feel is necessary to send the packet next time or else it fails as mentioned above)* in FreeBSD IPv6 stack. is it required? *Kindly help me in this regard. 3) Similarly how is the code flow when the stack recieves the packet i.e the *code flow in udp6_input? * Like udp6_input calls in6_pcblookup_hash. In *in6_pcblookup_hash whether it enters 1st LIST_FOREACH function or the one in wildcard?* ** The implementation of IPv6 is bit different compared to IPv4 like the pcbconnect is avoided and pcbsetport is used in IPv6, the theory and explaination is not available in books as that of IPv4 hence it is diificult to analyse the code flow, so expecting help.

Re: Recommended servers for FreeBSD
All, We have been using Dell since early 2001. in fact, I have one comming up on two years uptime. (FreeBSD 4.4, Yeah, I know, but I just can't bring myself to shut it down to upgrade). Raid works well, new SAS systems work well, no burn CPUs or Memory. Lots of great online and on phone support. I tried sourcing some 1u and 2u systems elsewhere (no names please), and in the end the Dells with 3 Year silver support and Waranttee were the same price, in a couple ways cheaper. As for speed, they seem to middle of the pack. BUT remember ... bus speed, memory speed, disk access, are all sky high anyways, so speed may not bee an issue anyways, even with slower systems. About the only negative thing I have to say is that I was not at all impressed with the DRAC III/XT cards. The new generation 4 and 5 cards seem to be better though. I had some problems with freeBSD 6.0 freezing, but the same hardware is running 6.2 with no issues now. I am sure that was a FReeBSD quotas problem anyway. Even a simple 24 port managed switch I have works good.

So far, all their hardware I've tried to use has been supported.

fsck failing
Note: If there's a more appropriate mailing list, please let me know. I've been running a FreeBSD 4.11 installation for a couple of years without issue. Unfortunately, one of the drives on the 3Ware Escalada 8500 RAID array died leaving the array in a degraded state. The drive likely died in an outage which also corrupted the filesystem. That said, the FreeBSD install is still able to boot until it attempts to mount the filesystem. During the boot process, I get the following error: Can't stat /dev/twed0s1a: Bad file Descriptor Can't stat /dev/twed0s1a: Bad file Descriptor /dev/twed0s1a: CAN"T CHECK FILE SYSTEM /dev/twed0s1a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY It drops me in to single user mode allowing me to run fsck. If I run just fsck then, it runs successfully but doesn't check twed0s1a which means on reboot the problem is still there. If I force fsck on that partition by running `fsck /dev/twed0s1a` then I get the same errors as above. Please let me know what other steps I should take to get the system booting again.

Thus administrators can change `toor' login shell to their preferred, with no risk of making the `root' account unusable. Regarding user accounts, I have no suggestions. BTW, when I moved from Linux to FreeBSD, I wanted to use BASH as my login shell. On day, I decided to try TCSH: user experience in FreeBSD is awesome, and since TCSH is the default shell there, I was convinced it was worth. My try was a switch, first because TCSH has cool features (see tcshrc at sourceforge) and second because of the advantage of using a shell you cannot program. The advantage is that you I not write illegible one-liners that cripple my files because I hit ENTER instead of BACKSPACE. In lieu of one-liners I now write one-filers, and I have much less shell incident than before. -- Best regards, Michaël ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'd thought that the port system in Freebsd was assured to be internally consistent with all other stuff in the system by a central team (QA?). I didn't realize that each port was from a different person, and that the process could get held up for weeks or months. I guess your advice is what I should do. I'm a little nervous about undoing what's already been done, and think I might just start over with db44 to be safe. Knowing this now, I guess I should also make a list of the programs and versions I need, and check each & every one for problems before I start again. If something popular like the Apache Web Server has long standing unresolved issues like this, other programs may too. A friend is pushing me to use Ubunutu Linux instead, saying that stuff like this doesn't happen with it, but I'm not so convinced. After being 'sold' on the Freebsd ports, it's worth some more reading. Thanks.

With some of the shells there's the option to compile them statically, which would avoid the problem. You could possibly also put "bash -l && exit" in your .shrc, which would exit if bash exited successfully. I haven't tested it, but it should work. A precompiled binary wouldn't help, AFAIK, because you still wouldn't be able to use it if there was a problem with one of the libraries. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can use something like that: ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.10.10.1/24 -alias It will remove address 10.10.10.1/24 from interface fxp0. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've been using the following for some time: keramida> su - Password: root# exec env SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash bash -l The same trick works with s/bash/mksh/ or s/bash/pdksh/, as far as I can tell, and tcsh's history mechanism makes it easy to run the same command later. All I have to type is "exec " and hit the arrow-up key :) The env(1) trick makes sure that sub-shells use bash(1) too, and 'exec' reduces the number of 'exit' commands I have to type. Now, if there's a problem with bash(1), I will probably have to su again, but that's less trouble than being locked out because gettext has broken, the *default* root shell is bash and _that_ fails all the time. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Xorg and WSXGA
I finally dumped the CRT and bought a ridiculusly cheap 20" LCD monitor. Works great except I'm having problems getting it to go widescreen and use the full display area. I followed the instructions of section 5.4.3.2 of the Handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html But I'm not getting anywhere. The Xorg logs always say, (II) I810(0): Not using driver mode "1680x1050" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) For the widescreen resolution. The printed documentation with the monitor says it does 1680x1050 at 65.29 kHz horizontal and 60 Hz vertical, and the probed DDC gives, (II) I810(0): Modeline "1680x1050" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync (II) I810(0): Modeline "1680x1050" 146.25 1680 1960 2136 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 +hsync -vsync But I still get the error. Manually adding the numbers to the xorg.conf gives the same results. So what do I try next? Attached are the Xorg.0.log and the xorg.conf. Again, the monitor works fine in other modes, but I want to use widescreen. As the probed info from the xorg.conf indicates, the graphics card is an Intel i810 family. The new monitor is an Envision G2016wa. Thanks for any help. -- Crist J.

ABI for i386 binaries under FreeBSD-amd64
Hi, I have seen that recently on the mailing list there has been a discussion on running i386 FreeBSD binaries under an amd64 system. As far as I have been able to read there does not appear to be anyway of achieving this except though either a chroot/jail or vitalization. I think this is a short fall of FreeBSD currently as there are still proprietary i386 programs for FreeBSD that people may want to use under FreeBSD. For me it is the Unreal Tournament series that all have i386 binaries (running under Linux ABI). (I do not think this short fall is of any major significance as the majority of programs people use can be compiled under ports. Thank you for such a wonderful infrastructure, truly a jewel for FreeBSD). Onto my questions (most appropriate since this is the freebsd-questions mailing list :-): 1) Is it possible to set up something along the lines of the Linuxulator for i386 binary support including a ghost file hierarchy under /compat/freebsd-i386 (or something more appropriate)? This should not be too hard as the kernel already has i386 support. 2) Could the above also be extended to give support for running i386 and amd64 Linux binaries under FreeBSD (with an additional directory hierarchy under /compat?)? 3) With the appropriate files under /compat would it be reasonably easy to set up a cross-architecture build system with ports, where all cross-compiled ports are installed under /compat? Could someone please add the above ideas to the Project Ideas page provided they are of sufficient quality. Thank you for listening to me.

Re: ifconfig -- how to remove address and mask?
I stand corrected. ifconfig delete did the job; destroy is what failed. Thanks. I tried delete, but it only works for *additional* ip addresses added using the alias command, not the original, primary one. I can't remember the error message.

arp: 192.168.1.1 is on lo0 but got reply from...
One of my FreeBSD machines acts as a router, providing shared internet access via ipfw/natd to the local network. Recently I've been getting a lot of these in the logs: arp: 192.168.1.1 is on lo0 but got reply from (someEthernetAddress) on xl1 xl1 is my Internet-facing interface. The address 192.168.1.1 is configured on the internal interface, xl0 not xl1. The address mapping for 192.168.1.1 is a permanent entry in the ARP table. 1) After reading the arp(4) manpage am I to assume that someone on my ISP's side of things has something terribly mis-configured? 2) If the local host has a permanent entry for 192.168.1.1, why would it send out an arp request for an address it already knows (is this normal)? Just trying to make sure it's not something I screwed up... -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Fw: Best way for a gmirrored gjournal?
Dear all, I'm forwarding this message to this lists, as current@ obviously was the wrong recipient. I kindly ask you for your ideas and proposals on my questions below. Regards, Patrick Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:08:35 +0200 From: Patrick Hurrelmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Best way for a gmirrored gjournal? Hi all, Currently I'm trying to install a new server and need some hints on how to best configure filesystems using gmirror and gjournal. The server in question is a amd64 with 512mb of ram and 2x 80gb sata hdds. So I was thinking of a mount-point layout like the following: ad0s1 / (1gb) swap(1gb) /var(8gb) /tmp(1gb) /home (4gb) /usr (13gb) /jails (39gb) ad0s2 10gb for journaling Which would leave a space of 10gb for journaling. I digged through the mailinglist-archives and man-pages of gmirror and gjournal but all I ended up with are questions and doubts :) Now I wanted to create 2 mirrors (gm0s1 and gm0s2). Gmirror gm0s1 containing the slices ad0s1 and ad2s1, while gm0s2 should contain ad0s2 and ad2s2. I created 2 slices, as with the above shown partitioning I was running out of mount-points for this slice. Is such a layout reasonable? Or is it stupid to use a dedicated slice just for journaling and better skip e.g /tmp partition to leave space for a dedicated journaling partition on this slice? Btw. are 10gb enough for journaling of 6 partitions? Or do I need one dedicated partition for journaling each? If I skip using a separate partition for journaling data, gjournal keeps telling me that e.g. the root partion of 1gb is too small for jorunaling. Would it be save to decrease journal size altough man-page discourages? What do you people out there suggest? How do you handle systems with gmirror and gjournal combined? Or even use ZFS although ram is limited (as the machine will serve up several jails with e.g. postgres)? I'm really looking forward to suggestions from you. I intentionally directed this mail to current@ as I think that here are the most people around with experience on gjournal. But if I better should direct this mail to questions@ I'm happy to do so, too.

I think Dell is also good friend of FreeBSD. > If you're looking for a Dell recommendation, I'll give you one. I've had nothing but great luck with them. So far, all their hardware I've tried to use has been supported. There are rumors that their newest systems have gigabit network cards that FreeBSD doesn't have a stable driver for, so you're forced to install an Intel or other one in one of the available PCI slots. RAID works great, hot swap and the whole works. Even the RAID battery status comes up in dmesg appropriately. We tend to use used systems, as we're not in need of the fastest systems out there, but we're looking at buying a couple brand-new within the next month or so. If you're interested, trying buying a box on eBay (great prices), and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
