Re: Help Failing Disk Problem

2007-11-05 Thread Wojciech Puchar


I use dump with the following options (e.g. for /usr);

dump -0 -B 4589560 -C 8 -h 0 -L -u -P \
'cat - >usr-0-20071106-vol${DUMP_VOLUME}.dump' /usr

This splits dump output in DVD-R sized chunks.

completely strange

better

-f file1,file2,file3,.


(you may type more files than actually needed).

one unneeded extra pipe avoided.

if you use pipe, use with growisofs.

BUT with DVD+RW disks you may use /dev/cd0 directly as dump device

It's in dump(8);

 -L  This option is to notify dump that it is dumping a live file sys-
 tem.  To obtain a consistent dump image, dump takes a snapshot of
 the file system in the .snap directory in the root of the file
 system being dumped and then does a dump of the snapshot.  The
 snapshot is unlinked as soon as the dump starts, and is thus
 removed when the dump is complete.  This option is ignored for
 unmounted or read-only file systems.  If the .snap directory does
 not exist in the root of the file system being dumped, a warning
 will be issued and the dump will revert to the standard behavior.
 This problem can be corrected by creating a .snap directory in
 the root of the file system to be dumped; its owner should be
 ``root'', its group should be ``operator'', and its mode should
 be ``0770''.

I use dump with the following options (e.g. for /usr);

dump -0 -B 4589560 -C 8 -h 0 -L -u -P \
'cat - >usr-0-20071106-vol${DUMP_VOLUME}.dump' /usr

This splits dump output in DVD-R sized chunks.

SATA DVD speed's too slow

2007-11-05 Thread Joshua Isom
I currently have an SATA DVD-RW drive for my computer.  I have to boot 
using a CURRENT kernel to get the drive recognized, and dmesg lists it 
as running at 3.3MB/s.  Running mplayer -dumpstream gets around 3 megs 
a second.  Copying off a data dvd gets about the same.  But I recall 
reading about playing a dvd before trying to get the data off of it 
when using dd, and it seems to work.  But the odd part is, it can get 
up to 20 megabytes a second.  Does anyone know how to get the higher 
speeds all the time?

Your pointer to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ was what right on
the money; thanks!  But it occured to me weeeks back that for
some thing, possibly including the bookmarks filles, why not have
a matching format??  If the firefox bookmarks are inn XML, then
it would be possible to share bookmarks iff that were desired.

apache22 complains of Module mod_ldap missing

2007-11-05 Thread Noah

Hi there,

I wrote in response too soon and after uncommenting the LDAP modules I
am still running into the same issue.

I checkbox the LDAP and AUTHNZ_LDAP options and I specifically set the
options to ON in the Makefile.options file by hand and still the same
error below occurs.  what could be wrong?



apache-2.2.6_2

I am not quite sure what is wrong if I am not building apache correctly
or if my /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file does not have
everything configured properly.  I might be missing the installation of
a module or something in my httpd.conf

please help.  I am not sure what to try next.


Cheers,

We're going off-topic now, but you have a point. I'm not going to argue

would be useful to record the CVS date somewhere by default (I know you 
can do this manually via src/sys/conf/newvers.sh). Sometimes the "p8", 
"prerelease #4" or even kern.osreldate is too low resolution. uname -a 
just exposes the build date of the kernel, not the date of the sources. 
Maybe a sysctl like:


sysctl kern.oscvsdate: 20071105224900

Reading the man page, I believe that will make copies instead of hard links
for files with more than one link.  By my reading, you'd have to specify -H 
in addition.  As others have pointed out, if you're using ACLs or other 
extended attributes, those may be lost as well.  

This is why I think _in principle_ using a tool which has as its sole purpose
in life the backup and restore, unmolested, of filesystems, is the best 
general approach to this problem.  Other tools may work too, but you have
to put a lot of thought and care into getting 473 of their 1692 command line
options right (made up numbers, obviously) and that's never good when you're
in the heat of the moment and your data is at stake.

} dump has the problem that a lot of tools have, though, including rsync.
} It creates a file list to start from. 
} 
} If the file names on the drive change during the dump, corruption can
} occur. At least on linux. I remember Torvalds ranting about it on a
} mailing list. I imagine FreeBSD suffers the same issue, though, as it's
} a pretty generic problem.

Use dump (or anything else, for that matter) on a snapshot.

Of course, all bets are off since the disk is already failing.  The common
case is that the OP may get "most" of the files off in tact; probably not all.
Backups are important if you care about your data.

It stands for 'Live' and causes dump to do some snapshotting if you
are running from multi user.   It is not really meaningful if you
are running in single user mode, but can help reduce confusion if
files change during a dump on a live multi user mode system.

I was wondering about that, too.

My understanding, Aryeh, of the ports vs pkg issue is that part of your
method is uneccesary. You can use pkg_add fine, but as soon as you start
using ports you have to stick with ports. portupgrade -a with a recently
updated ports tree will update everything that has an update, and reverting
to pkg_add after that could start creating dependency issues.

So you don't need to uninstall pkgs before starting to use ports, but you
can't go back once you've started using them.

Re: Help Failing Disk Problem

2007-11-05 Thread FX Charpentier
Roland,

The mention of dump '-L' in your email below has caught my attention.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the '-L' option?

I looked it up in the man pages but wasn't able to find any mention of it.
Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
- FX

ip6fw without ipfw?

2007-11-05 Thread Bob Johnson
So is it a bug or a feature that enabling ip6fw (/etc/rc.d/ip6fw
start) also enables ipfw (the ipv4 version)? I didn't see it mentioned
in IP6FW(8).

It sure surprised me when I was exploring IPv6 setup and I enabled
ip6fw without configuring the IPv4 rc.firewall.  Locked me out of the
remote system, because ssh won't let me log in on IPv6 (I'll post that
question in another message), and ipfw came up and locked me out via
IPv4. Forced me to go out and enjoy the nice weather yesterday instead
of playing with IPv6 all day...

Incomplete file listing with Samba on ext2fs

2007-11-05 Thread Rainer Schwarze
Hi,

I've set up a FreeBSD6.2 machine and moved my "file server disk" from a
Linux system where it was used before. The disk uses ext2fs. In FreeBSD
I can see all files, when looking at the samba shares from a Windows
2000 system, I do not see all files. I also do not see all files when
using smbclient on FreeBSD.

A test case went like that:

I created 1000 files named "file000" ... "file0999" in a directory. I
could see all of them via Windows.

I created 1000 files named "file-.file" ... "file-0999.file" in a
directory. I could see the first 130 files of them.

I added this to my smb.conf, because I found related information on the
web and this fixed some problems with incomplete directory listing which
I encountered a few days ago:

   dos charset = CP850
   unix charset = UTF-8
   display charset = LOCALE

When I copy my large list of files to a UFS volume, I can see the full
listing via Windows.

Apart from switching the ext2s to ufs, does someone has other
suggestions for solving the problem?
Do you suggest another group for this question?

Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Rainer

RE: Problem with Apache22

2007-11-05 Thread Peter Uthoff
Yes, it's using prefork. I made no changes from the default install. The
results of ldd for each of these yielded "libpthread.so.2 =>
/lib/libpthread.so.2" in each case except for php and
libmysqlclient.so.15, which both returned nothing. Running apache in
debug, attached to the console resulted in output of "Bus Error" and
nothing else. The web logs showed no errors at all.

If you can get the new disk physically installed and recognized and
running before the old disk completely fails, then it should be no
problem.   Build the file systems on the new disk as you want them,
then use dump/retore to move the data.   The dump/restore needs to
be done one filesystem at a time.   

NOTE: For best results, this should all be done in single user mode
  with no other thing running to avoid changes in files confusing
  things.   It will work in full multi user mode, but you may get
  some files in indeterminate condition if they happen to change
  during the copy process.

Either use sysinstall  (/usr/sbin/sysinstall) to slice and partition
the new drive and build file systems on it or do it yourself with
  fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs.

Since you are using a larger drive, think out the sizes you want
for the partitions on the new drive.   I am guessing from the way
you talk here, that the system is not dual booted with some other OS.

Given that presumption:
  (This is right out of the bsdlabel man page, by the way.  I just
   changed numbers and device names to fit the situation)

NOTE: The dd-s below are just to make sure the label areas and such
  are wiped clean in case the manufacturer made some presumptions
  and wrote something there.   They might not really be needed, but
  won't hurt anything and take just a moment.

Create one large slice, marked bootable for FreeBSD:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=1024
  fdisk -BI da0

Write a basic label and boot record on the slice:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1s1 bs=512 count=1024
  bsdlabel -w -B ad1s1

Partition the slice by using the edit function of bsdlabel:
  bsdlabel -e ad1s1

This will put you in an edit screen with the beginnings of partition
information.   Ignore anything it might have before the lines that read:
  # /dev/ad1s1:
  8 partitions:
  #  size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]

After that you will see a list of partitions.  There should only be
one 'c' partition listed.   Do not change that line, but copy it 
enough times to have one for each partition you want.  Lets say you
want root, swap, /tmp, /usr, /var and /home.   Then make it 
something like:

 # /dev/ad1s1:
 8 partitions:
 #  size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
 a:   52428804.2BSD2048 16384 32776
 b:  2572288*  swap
 c: 783168750unused   0 0# "raw" part, don't edit
 d:  1048576*4.2BSD2048 16384 8
 e:  4194304*4.2BSD2048 16384 28552
 f:  6291456*4.2BSD2048 16384 28552
 g:**4.2BSD2048 16384 28552

Then just :wq out of the edit session and your label is nicely written.

Using the stars for offset and final size tells bsdlabel to calculate
the offsets for you and make the last partition take up all the 
remaining available space.   The first partition should have the
offset specified as '0'.The numbers I have here are in 512 byte blocks
and give the following sizes.Choose your own according to your needs.

 a:   256  MBI mount as /
 b:  1256  MBis swap
 d:   512  MBI mount as /tmp
 e:  2048  MBI mount as /usr
 f:  3072  MBI mount as /var
 g:  Remainder MB  I mount as /home 

Once that is finished, then you need to run new fs on each partition
except the one for swap (b).   eg.  newfs a, d, e, f, g
Generally, unless you need extra inodes for a lot of small files
or expect only unusually large files, you can just take the defaults
for newfs.   so:

  newfs /dev/ad1s1a
  newfs /dev/ad1s1d
  newfs /dev/ad1s1e
  newfs /dev/ad1s1f
  newfs /dev/ad1s1g

Now you need to make mount points for and mount each partition.
Something like:

  mkdir /newroot
  mount /dev/ad1s1a /newroot
  mkdir /newusr
  mount /dev/ad1s1e /newusr
  mkdir /newvar
  mount /dev/ad1s1f /newvar
  mkdir /newhome
  mount /dev/ad1s1g /newhome

You don't usually need to copy /tmp to the new disk, though you
can do that if you want as well.

Then do the dump/restore-s

  cd /newroot
  dump 0af - / | restore -rf - 

  cd /newusr
  dump 0af - /usr | restore -rf -

  cd /newvar 
  dump 0af - /var | restore -rf -

  cd /newhome
  dump 0af - /home | restore -rf -

At the end of each dump it might ask you if you want to
set permissions on .   just answer no.   I don't think it does
that with the restore -r, but if it does, then answer no.

After all this, you should be able to just physically switch
the disks and boot on the new one.

Great!! That did the trick and it is very helpful in saving a lot of 
time and prevented me from loosing more hairs.



Some errors from console:

(At boot time)
Oct 26 17:00:36 gauss kernel: Oct 26 17:00:36 gauss slapd[757]: nss_ldap:

Expected. slapd want to change its user to ldap:ldap, which it needs to
look up the UID for. Chicken & Egg. That's why I need to use soft
bind+timeout on my (disconnected) laptop here.

That seems broken then. Is slapd running? Can you ldapsearch -Lx -h
localhost? What's /var/log/debug.log telling you? Can you id(1) some ldap
users? Does the output of 'getent group' and 'getent passwd' look
reasonable?
  


Too many switches switched at the same time, so I guess I messed up 
things and couldn't get a clear sight anymore. The point is, without any 
TLS the user authetication works fine for SSHD/LOGIN and SU, even 
password changes via a patched 'passwd' works fine, but when trying 
using TLS/OpenSSL everything gets messed up again, I'll report this at 
the end.


The main reason for blocking access was the ACL misbehaviour. I took the 
example slapd.conf and especially the line describing access to everything


access   to * ...

The line 'by anonymous auth' needs to be changed into 'by anonymous 
read' otherwise LDAP won't let you even access for authetication. I 
found this by watching exhaustive logs ...



  
One point: what is about compile time options of OpenLDAP? Does LDAP forces 
itself using SSL although not configured explicitely in slapd.conf?



No. It is purely optional. You would need certificates before it can
even possibly start working anyways.
  


Yes, but OpenLDAP openldap-server-2.3.38 seems to reject connections via 
TLS when used with self-signed certificacates.
  

nss_ldap-1.257  <<===

My other computer is running with nss_ldap-1.257 and showing no problems
either.

Well, thanks a lot for helping.

At this moment OpenLDAP seems to work with the OpenLDAP-Clients (only)

For starters, you should _never_ dump a live filesystem. What you can do is
dump a snapshot of a live filesystem, using dumps '-L' option, because a
snapshot is like a frozen image of the filesystem; it doesn't change.

Dump & restore is the best way to move data and all attributes to a
larger disk. See §9.2 of the FAQ.

dump has the problem that a lot of tools have, though, including rsync.
It creates a file list to start from. 

If the file names on the drive change during the dump, corruption can
occur. At least on linux. I remember Torvalds ranting about it on a
mailing list. I imagine FreeBSD suffers the same issue, though, as it's
a pretty generic problem.

dump is a good tool, though, no arguments really here.

The best way is to do it regularly before the hard drive is failing.

Given that you haven't done that, there're a few methods. I'm a big fan
of rsync,  which is the nectar of the gods, but a lot of folks seem to
prefer dd for this kind of thing.


rsync is too high-level, and may not do exactly the right thing with 
links or sparse files or who knows what.  dd is too low-level--you get 
the same partition table/bsdlabel and the exact same slice/partition 
sizes.  That's okay on an identical hard drive, but a pain on one that's 
larger.


dump, on the other hand, is just right.

Probably the easiest method is to go to a web site that tells you what
IP you are coming from, e.g. http://www.go6.net (just below the top
banner). Or if you log in to your firewall it will be able to tell you
its external IP number.

6to4 tunneling uses IP protocol type 41, so you need to tell your FW
to permit protocol 41 traffic. TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc. are all different
protocol types, so the syntax used to allow TCP traffic might work if
you use "41" instead of "TCP". You may also need a way to tell your
firewall to route all protocol 41 traffic to your IPv6 gateway system
so it can receive all of your incoming IPv6 traffic.

Pick the tunnel with the least delay!

The other restrictions only mean that if you have more than one IPv6
system on your local network, they must have unique IPv6 addresses. At
least, I think that's what they mean. This is the part of IPv6 over
IPv4 that I haven't directly experimented with yet, so I can tell you
what I think I understand, not what I've proven I understand, but here
it is:  You will run stf(4) on only one system on your LAN. That
system becomes your gateway to the IPv6 world. Other systems on your
LAN get other IPv6 addresses, all with the same initial 48 bits (I.E.
they all use the same IPv4 address to construct their IPv6 address,
but the rest of the address has to be different for each system in
your LAN). Outside systems will send traffic for your LAN to the
gateway system (the one running stf) and it will forward it
accordingly. You will need to tell the stf system that it is supposed
to perform that role, which for FreeBSD I think is accomplished by
adding rtadvd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. You may (or may not) find
it informative to read rtadvd(8). On all the other systems in your
LAN, you just need to enable IPv6, and they will talk to rtadvd and
configure themselves appropriately. At least, that's my understanding.

So far I have not used stf -- instead I have used tunneling via the
gw6c client and Freenet6 (i.e. http://www.go6.net). First install the
net/gateway6 port. Edit /usr/local/etc/gw6c.conf and change the
appropriate parts for an anonymous connection (the comments explain
them - in fact that may be the default). Also set gw6c.conf so your
system will be a router if you have other IPv6 systems on your LAN.
Then run gw6c and it will set up the tunnel, and run rtadvd for you if
appropriate. That should be all you have to do. Again, this is needed
only on your gateway system, so all the other systems on your network
need only have IPv6 enabled. It should also be obvious that both of
these methods completely bypass your existing IPv4 firewall, so every
system on your LAN will have unfirewalled exposure to the Internet,
unless you run an IPv6 firewall as well.

One advantage of using gw6c is that it can build a tunnel over
protocol 41, over TCP, or over UDP. So if your firewall prevents you
from getting a 6to4/stf tunnel working, try  gw6c. I also found it
easier to set up than figuring out what I needed to make stf work, but
I'm about to set up an stf system so I can directly compare the two.

If you like the gw6c method, go to http://www.go6.net and register for
a free account. Then edit gw6c.conf with your account info and other
appropriate changes, and restart it. You will be issued a permanent
IPv6 address tied to your account, so that if your external IPv4
address changes your IPv6 addresses do not change.

If you buy a new disk most disk manufacturer's have cloning 
software.  However if you are having media failure errors it can be 
difficult to get the data off.  You may be able to just get the data you 
need off this disk by copying to a new disk, or top tape, or a usb

Reading /usr/ports/UPDATING says that yes, you *can*, but whether you
*should* is another issue.

I had a machine, though, that was crapping out on portupgrades, for
which removing old versions of autoconf made things simpler to resolve.

What I would do:
1) for each version, run "pkg_info -R " 
If this returns empty, it should be safe to delete.
2) for each remaining version, run "portupgrade -r "
Warning: autoconf is required by automake, which is
used by great heaping gobs of stuff.  There is a minute
possibility any upgrade will break something.

Let me point to the same lines of man(5) fstab. Please look at [*].
Sequentally (as one writes at a /etc/fstab file) within a drive, just
it.

Thanks Boris, Daniel,

Setting the pass# to 0 for /tmp worked perfectly.

The reason for having a pass# of 3 for /var/tmp was, to put it 
succinctly, because it was mounted within a filesystem with a pass# of 2.


My understanding was that the fsck didn't start to check a filesystem 
with a pass# of n+1 until it had successfully checked all those with a 
pass# of n.  I expected that you would always want to make sure that, 
before checking some filesystem, you ensured that its mount point was 
valid first, and hence gave it a greater pass# that the filesystem in 
which it gets mounted.  Hence / having a pass# of 1, and /usr/ var etc 
having a pass# of 2.


If anyone knows otherwise, I'd appreciate the correction.

mount_mfs(8), in the EXAMPLES section, says this:

 Create and mount a 32 megabyte swap-backed file system on /tmp:

   mdmfs -s 32m md /tmp

 The same file system created as an entry in /etc/fstab:

   md /tmp mfs rw,-s32m 2 0

Try setting the passno field (the last one) to 0, and see how that works.

[1] According to man(5) fstab:
-
 The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine
 the order in which file system checks are done at reboot time.  The root
 file system should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other file
 systems should have a fs_passno of 2.  File systems within a drive will
 be checked sequentially, but file systems on different drives will be
 checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hard-
 ware.  If the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is
 returned and fsck(8) will assume that the file system does not need to be
 checked.
-

Seems that you need to use "0" istead of "2". I'd say the same for the
fifth field here.

BTW, I can't find what does [2] mean (the values "3" here)...

Re: Rebuilding kernel/system to a state "back-in-time"?

2007-11-05 Thread Jonathan Horne

Quoting Erik Cederstrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:




Should be tag=RELENG_6_2


...


That should suffice.


This assumes you're already running 6.2. As long as you don't switch
branches (or choose a date before the branch occurred!), you should be
good to go.

Erik


i would agree with erik's advice, as IMO its quite sound (when it  
comes to operating a server as opposed to a desktop).  however, i  
would add this detail so that there can be some what and why to go  
with it:


RELENG_6_2 will take you to 6.2-RELEASE-p8.  it *will* be back in  
time, but it will be only 'critical' patches since the intial  
6.2-RELEASE.


IMO, (and forgive me, i generally dont spew my opinions where they  
arent welcome or asked for), RELENG_6_2 is better for a server over  
RELENG_6 (aka, -STABLE), as it doesnt include items that are not  
critically required for secure and stable operation.  remember, that  
the true -STABLE branch has items merged in from -CURRENT (call it  
back-ported?).


let say, you already know that -p8 is the latest 6.2 revision.  you  
get on a server, you log in, and it says 6.2-RELEASE-p8.  you already  
know that this system is up to date.  if you log in, and see  
6.2-STABLE... you dont immediately know when this system was last  
rebuilt without doing some other version checks first.  i have to be  
honest, when it comes to managing a farm full of servers, i like my  
"visual version checks"... the same way i like my women:


easy.

Yes. What's extremely odd about this error that I've noticed is that if

Re: portupgrade questions

2007-11-05 Thread Donovan R. Palmer
The thing you should be doing first is checking /usr/ports/UPDATING. Major 
things can change, and portupgrade may not be able to handle them without 
help.


Ah, i c. I am starting to make sense out of some of this from my fighting 
around on this.


The "-f" option to pkg_delete/pkg_deinstall will force it to do the 
action, even if there are dependencies.  Sometimes it's the only way.


There's also the -o option to portupgrade.

As for a tutorial: first, check UPDATING.  Then the command man page. If 
necessary, a web search.


I have done some web searching, but haven't found anything that has 
everything in one place (including the Handbook).  Once I emerge from all of 
this, I might take a stab at writing up something for N00bs to help them 
learn some of the things that I have figured out the hard way


I can't remember what I did for this particular upgrade, but do remember 
deleting some of the older autoconf ports manually.  I suspect you could 
delete all of them (and maybe some or all of the automake ports) and then 
just deinstall and install autotools.  (Like pkg_delete -f, "make 
deinstall" in a port will ignore dependencies and just go ahead.)


After you do all that, you'll probably need to run pkgdb -F to fix or at 
least check dependencies.


Very helpful!  Thanks!

Yes, just install your own alias.
For example, in my .cshrc file for the accounts I use I put:

  alias dir ls -lAF

and then I have a dir.

I also alias ls to:

  alias ls ls -F

and lo to: 

  alias lo logout

and numerous others.
That is the normal way of creating these simple things.

It sounds like you want to set up name based virtual hosts.
That is SOP for many servers.   It is documented.

You would also have to deal with the name server issues to get
the web stuff (ports 80 and 443) directed to your single IP.  If
you do the name service, that is easy.  If you have to beg another
service, then that could be the hardest part.

This assumes you're already running 6.2. As long as you don't switch

Interesting. Now if I want to turn DEBUG off for a particular port, would I use:
 
1)WITH_DEBUG

2)WITH_DEBUG=
3)WITH_DEBUG=""
  

#2 or #3. Also, take a look at ports-mgmt/portconf.
 
One other question. From what I have been reading, the use of 'WITH_DEBUG' also prevents the stripping of debug code when the program is installed. Is that correct, or do I have to use another flag to insure that debug code is not stripped from the installed program?
  
Yes, it's true. There might be some weird ports, which do things in a 
non-standard way, this might not apply to those, but for the most of our 
ports, which respect the most important macros, it is going to work.

Re: tar Ignoring out-of-order file What Does that Mean?

2007-11-05 Thread Martin McCormick
Jonathan McKeown writes:
> [that was me - I'm glad I was of some help]

Most definitely. You've been a tremendous help but I am still
stuck and I believe all issues are known except this one.

I should know when the unpacking/packing part is working
by unpacking the FreeBSD iso image and then repacking it without
doing anything at all. This should give me an iso image that is
the same size as the good one and probably a byte-for-byte copy
of the original.

I did as you suggested and here is what happened.

First, I created a directory called image and cd'd
there.

$ ls 

It's empty as it should be.

$ ln -s usr/src/sys sys
$ ls -l 
total 0 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 martin  martin  11 Nov  5 07:44 sys -> usr/src/sys 

Now, it is time to unpack the iso image.

$ tar xf ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
tar: Ignoring out-of-order file 

Darn!  Well, Let's see how big an ISO image file it makes anyway.

$ mkisofs -l -R -q . >~/tmp/testfile.iso
$ ls -l ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso ../tmp/testfile.iso 
-rw-r--r--  1 martin  martin  598476800 Nov  5 07:48 ../tmp/testfile.iso 
-rw-r--r--  1 martin  martin  601229312 Sep 21 08:57 
/home/martin/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 

The original iso image is 2,752512 bytes larger. I bet it's the
files that tar doesn't seem to be happy about.

Once this hurdle is finally jumped, the rest should be
quite normal.

If you mount the image on a Linux system and use tar or mkisofs,
you get a file that is almost twice the proper size so I think
there may be some links that end up as multiple versions of the
same files when they should have been symlinks or something
else. The image made with FreeBSD's mkisofs and tar utilities is
the archive that is 2.5 megs short.

Re: portupgrade questions

On Mon, 5 Nov 2007, Donovan R. Palmer wrote:

A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run 
portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have 
googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For 
example:


cairo# portupgrade -aF


The thing you should be doing first is checking /usr/ports/UPDATING. 
Major things can change, and portupgrade may not be able to handle them 
without help.



cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-autoconf
** Package 'gnu-autoconf' has been removed from ports tree.


Old versions of autoconf were replaced with 2.61.

So one possibility I read to fix something like this is to uninstall and 
resintall it. This yields the following result:


But you can't reinstall it, since it's gone from the ports tree.


cairo# pkg_info | grep gnu-autoconf
gnu-autoconf-2.59   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms

cairo# pkg_deinstall gnu-autoconf-2.59
--->  Deinstalling 'gnu-autoconf-2.59'
pkg_delete: package 'gnu-autoconf-2.59' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gnu-automake-1.9.6
kde-3.5.4
kdevelop-3.3.4
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
  ! gnu-autoconf-2.59 (pkg_delete failed)
--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

So how do I fix this? Is there a HOW-TO or tutorial on a webpage out there 
that will help me learn how to fix these things?  The handbook makes no 
mention of how to resolve these issues... unless I missed something?


The "-f" option to pkg_delete/pkg_deinstall will force it to do the 
action, even if there are dependencies.  Sometimes it's the only way.


There's also the -o option to portupgrade.

As for a tutorial: first, check UPDATING.  Then the command man page. 
If necessary, a web search.


I can't remember what I did for this particular upgrade, but do remember 
deleting some of the older autoconf ports manually.  I suspect you could 
delete all of them (and maybe some or all of the automake ports) and 
then just deinstall and install autotools.  (Like pkg_delete -f, "make 
deinstall" in a port will ignore dependencies and just go ahead.)


After you do all that, you'll probably need to run pkgdb -F to fix or at 
least check dependencies.

Re: portupgrade questions

2007-11-05 Thread Donovan R. Palmer

While portsupgrade does work on packages it is usually better to do
stuff from ports... even though this may be time consuming you may want
to deinstall every last package you have installed then select a few
"high level" ports to install (i.e. enough to drag in almost everything
you need)... in general the install cycle I use is:

1. Install a top-level port (making any build changes needed if build
fails [*PLEASE* submit a pr for any of these])
2. Do a csup (or cvsup on older releases) to make sure there is nothing
newer for the installed ports
3. Do a portupgrade -a
4. If there are more top-level ports goto to step 1


Very interesting.  Without sounding too daft, how do I determine what a 
"high level" port is?  Thanks!

Depends on what you use the machine for... for example for the most part
mine are:

1. gnome-office (normally do xorg and gnome2 as seperate builds though)
2. vlc video player
3. rythmbox mp3 player
4. Java 1.6
5. gimp-shop
6. apache 2+mysql+php5
7. electricsheep
8. Deluge torrent client

and as soon the port team adds them:

1. thistest
2. filebuilder

(sorry for the self promotion, but I wrote both of these ;-))

While portsupgrade does work on packages it is usually better to do
stuff from ports... even though this may be time consuming you may want
to deinstall every last package you have installed then select a few
"high level" ports to install (i.e. enough to drag in almost everything
you need)... in general the install cycle I use is:

1. Install a top-level port (making any build changes needed if build
fails [*PLEASE* submit a pr for any of these])
2. Do a csup (or cvsup on older releases) to make sure there is nothing
newer for the installed ports
3. Do a portupgrade -a
4. If there are more top-level ports goto to step 1

portupgrade questions

2007-11-05 Thread Donovan R. Palmer

Hi Gang,

A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run 
portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have 
googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For 
example:


cairo# portupgrade -aF
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-autoconf
** Package 'gnu-autoconf' has been removed from ports tree.

So one possibility I read to fix something like this is to uninstall and 
resintall it. This yields the following result:


cairo# pkg_info | grep gnu-autoconf
gnu-autoconf-2.59   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms

cairo# pkg_deinstall gnu-autoconf-2.59
--->  Deinstalling 'gnu-autoconf-2.59'
pkg_delete: package 'gnu-autoconf-2.59' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gnu-automake-1.9.6
kde-3.5.4
kdevelop-3.3.4
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
   ! gnu-autoconf-2.59 (pkg_delete failed)
--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

So how do I fix this? Is there a HOW-TO or tutorial on a webpage out there 
that will help me learn how to fix these things?  The handbook makes no 
mention of how to resolve these issues... unless I missed something?


TIA
Donovan

AFAIK, IPv6 setup is much more difficult than IPv4 setup. Still i don't
know well what IPv6 is. Let's go easy.. you need some practice with 6to4
setup. The 6to4 setup is very simple if you have the native IPv4
address(es). Then you can try the 6over4 (more difficult than 6to4) with
gif(4).

At first, here is good reference for 6to4 setup:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/06/01/ipv6_tutorial.html

As fas as i can tell, you need practice and practice and practice, one
by one, then you can obtain what you want..

Sincerely,

That's not possible directly, I think.

Being configured or not isn't a problem for ipfw.
The interface is just a string and can be anything
regardless of validity, such as rl0, fxp0, blah etc.
Asterisks can be also used to denote a shell-like
interface-name matching e.g. rl*

I am not sure you have understood correctly the "via" keyword.
Read the ipfw manual. Not all packets have receive or transmit
interfaces so that might a problem you haven't considered.

Is "via" what you want?

You can use "me" which is an alias for "my IP addresses".

allow ip from any to me
allow ip from me to any

This ruleset effectivelly allows all trafic from you to
the world and from the world to you. Ofcourse there is
not interface checking.

That's true, though you can also specify 'via any'.  Whether either is
actually a good idea for the case in question may be another matter ..

ipv6 confusion

2007-11-05 Thread Aryeh M. Friedman
I want to set my machine up to be on both IPv4 and IPv6.   I have read
the stuff on 6over4 and such and still a little confused on a few things:

1. The machine I want to do the tunneling on is behind a NAT'ed firewall
how do I reliabelly obtain the external IP of the firewall (dhcp
assigned from cable company)?

2. If the machine I want to do the tunneling with is the DMZ host for
the above FW do I need to add anything special to the FW's routing tables?

3. I am a little confused on how to pick the other end of the tunnel and
how do I configure it once the first 2 items are solved?... The
confusion comes from how is an arbitary (by me [with in the restrictions
in stf(4)]) selected IPv6 IP supposed to be routable when IPv4 forces 
me to use the one assigned to me by my upstream router?
