Re: who do I report this to?

If you have issues with if_re, please ask it's maintainer for support, and rule that out first and then proceed to the next item if the problem still continues, generating loads of emails with my insert your new problem here content which includes but this and this and this and this might also be the combination etc is NOT going to help resolve this because the options are too legio (could be the software, could be your hardware, could be a user flaw, could be the remote switch etc).

Re: FreeBSD-7.0 fails to compile after upgrade
Quoting Yuri Pankov [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yes, that's what I'm talking about, you don't have any optimizations (-Ox) in flags to cc and that's why it fails. Make sure that you don't have CFLAGS set to '' in your environment or elsewhere (cd /usr/src ; make -V CFLAGS will show your current settings). Interesting. Still not clear why would this error be caused bythe lack of -Ox option. 6.3 was compiling successfully with the same CFLAGS. I had some -I in CFLAGS. And didn't realize that system build picks up optimization options from there instead of appending them to existing CFLAGS.

FreeBSD, 160GB HD, and a Bios limitation
Hi there I have a 600mhz PIII computer with an older BIOS that will not recognize my 160GB new HD that I installed for use with FreeBSD. I can install FBSD if I limit the drive to 32GB, but before I settle with that, is there a way I can access the entire drive |Have you tried and failed to install FreeBSD? I have successfully installed FreeBSD with the drive limited to 32GB. I have also successfully installed FreeBSD withthe drive set to 160GB, although FBSD seems to see only 120GB of that, and also displays the following warning during install: WARNING: A gemoetry of 248015/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or you are unsure as to whether or not it's correct, please consult the Hardware Guide int he Documentation submenu or use the (G)eometry command to change it now. Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in the BIOS setups. For SCSI, it's the translation mode your controller is using. Do NOT use a physical geomtery. I did not find a solution in the documentation. Using the (G)eometry command is something I don't understand. :) My BIOS reads the drive fine when it is limited to 32GB, or when the drive is limited to less than 66GB (The drive size can by limited via a utility from Seagate ... i determined that using a size of 61GB works fine in the BIOS, but using 66BG does not work in the BIOS. There's probably an exact figure between 61 and 66GB where the maximum is, but I decided not to do further tests) Here's what FDISK reports during the FBSD install: http://imagebin.org/11910 I used the all command here. Using the Seagate utility, the drive had earlier been set to 160GB, yet the installer sees 120GB here, it seems. DMESG report here: http://imagebin.org/11911 df -h command result here: http://imagebin.org/11912 If FreeBSD can use 120GB of the 160GB available, that's GREAT! I'd be happy with that. But will there be any problems since the bios reports only that a maximum drive size of 61-66GB is OK? If I select a disk size larger than the 61GB figure (roughly) BIOS locks up on the hard drive menu (the computer will boot, but if i try and view the HD section of the BIOS menu, bios locks up and i have to ctrl-alt-del). If FReeBSD can see 120GB, what happened to the other 40GB? Is there a danger that I could wind up writing data to nowhere or having some other disk problem if I install FBSD this way? |Normally the limititation is just that the root partition must be within |the area that the bios can see.

Actually, I just tried this. This is not what I want.
If I go to cd /usr/ports/www/apache22, and do a make
PREFIX=/some/other/directory, I do NOT get the same thing
I'd get building apache from source. I get ALL the apache
prerequisites installed under /some/other/dir, as opposed
to the apache standards places (for example config files
which would normally be in /usr/local/apache/conf now get
installed in /some/other/directory/etc (the port installs
them in /usr/local/etc). As a bonus, dependent packages get
added to my package database under the same prefix, which
shouldn't happen. (i.e. I want ONLY the apache2.2 stuff in a
self-contained directory).
Silly me. I had no idea there was a standard place for
apache to put its stuff. On *some* linux builds, the conf
files are in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and the document root in
/var/www. On FreeBSD they're in /usr/local/etc/apache{ver.}
and /usr/local/www/apache{ver}, respectively. What's the
standard place I wonder? I suspect it has a lot more to do
with the conventions of the particular OS than it does with the
application.
And on a SuSE system I've been called in to maintain the
webserver is on /srv/www while the conf files are in
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf.
About the only thing you can count on is that the files will be
somewhere on the system, and hopefully in your $PATH.
If the OP would take a look at 'man hier' he would see
how all of the FreeBSD things should be laid out.
Having things under /usr - instead of the top directory which it
appears the OP has as he said he wanted one directory - will
make upgrades a bit more difficult.
One of the nice things about keeping just the OS on / and
all other addons on a /usr filesystem is that you can unmount
/usr and rebuild the entire OS, remaking / is you wish, and lose
nothing of your local addons. It's a very intelligent design
IMO and it frustrates me when I got to different Linux systems [I
run FreeBSD at the ISP] and so many things are in different places.
It seems that some do this just ot differentiate them. But then
again I have not looked at all 300+ Linux distros. At least
the BSD derived variants are remarkable similar - and follow most
the same hierarchy for the past 20 years.
If the user weren't so set on just one filesystem [which is how I
remember the first part of the thread starting] he'd be running
now. And woe be the day that / gets corrupted with everything
in one place. My worsts instances of this was years ago when
data had to be saved, and / could be mounted ro as therw
was no lost+found space left. [The old SysIII and SySV system
could not expand lost+found].
So I spend the next 3 days running / in ro mode and then copying
and/or taring the needed data onto floppies for restore once the
OS was reinstalled. After maintaing Unix system [ and variants] on
a least 6 different CPU bases since 1983 - I'm hard-coded to
having separate file systems.

Apache1.3 built out of the box on every system in the world. Using ports is no better. And again, I'll take anything anyone can offer to explain half this behavior: I am using Apache 2.xx with no problem on several machines. I installed it from ports with no problem. Since you are determined to proceed against recommendations it is hard to help you.I wouldn't be surprised if you do not get many responses. You know, there was a time when the handbook and man security actually recommended NOT using the port and building from scratch -- and if you want the finest-grained control over what you're building this is still the case, especially when some features haven't made it into ports yet. (Like, oh...when the whole of the ports tree goes into a freeze for a release that's upcoming but doesn't have a todo list, a schedule, or anything else on the FBSD site). Actually, someone (two different someones) managed to answer both issues. The ports issue was caused by stale cruft in /var/db/pkg and the fix was to remove basically all the automake/autotools/autoconf packages and start over. I also said screw it and nuked the apr-db42 port (for reasons mentioned earlier). Apache from ports then built fine (which meant I had an option to fall back on, if need be). Someone on the APR-devel list pointed out that I can do a setenv to define CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to include /usr/local/lib to fix build issues. This allowed apache2-non-ports to compile. However the question in my mind that still bears answering is: why apr would FIND such a library as installed (i.e. not fail at configure-time) but then fail to compile. I.e. why does the APR not set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS correctly. This is not a question for -questions, but I'm stating it here in case anyone has similar issues. -Dan -- Is Gushi a person or an entity?

This is a post about building apache2.2 from scratch, not from ports -- however it raises several issues with port-installed tools that lead me to believe they may still be at fault. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but having all the data is sometimes important. I believe it's reproducable but I don't have the spare machines to try on. ... 3) My big problem: I just tried to build apache 2.2.6 from scratch. I, for various reasons of wanting to keep apache separate from other things, for example, to virtualize my apache users, prefer everything in a single dir -- so the ports route isn't for me. You can tell ports where to install something. We used to install all of Apache in its own directory to make it easy to manipulate in a system we were installing in a lot of places. Check the ports doc and such. *headdesk, repeatedly* Apache2 is a complete piece of crap. Portable Runtime my ass. Was there something so wrong with APACI? Apache1.3 built out of the box on every system in the world. Using ports is no better. And again, I'll take anything anyone can offer to explain half this behavior: I am using Apache 2.xx with no problem on several machines. I installed it from ports with no problem. Since you are determined to proceed against recommendations it is hard to help you.I wouldn't be surprised if you do not get many responses. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD, 160GB HD, and a Bios limitation

Do NOT use a physical geomtery. I can't guarantee that it applies to your situation, but I always get those messages and just ignore them. FreeBSD deals with it correctly. There are some FAQs and postings in the archive and a couple of online articles that talk about it. I don't have time to go looking now, but you can find it as easily as I can. jerry I did not find a solution in the documentation. Using the (G)eometry command is something I don't understand. :) My BIOS reads the drive fine when it is limited to 32GB, or when the drive is limited to less than 66GB (The drive size can by limited via a utility from Seagate ... i determined that using a size of 61GB works fine in the BIOS, but using 66BG does not work in the BIOS. There's probably an exact figure between 61 and 66GB where the maximum is, but I decided not to do further tests) Here's what FDISK reports during the FBSD install: http://imagebin.org/11910 I used the all command here. Using the Seagate utility, the drive had earlier been set to 160GB, yet the installer sees 120GB here, it seems. DMESG report here: http://imagebin.org/11911 df -h command result here: http://imagebin.org/11912 If FreeBSD can use 120GB of the 160GB available, that's GREAT! I'd be happy with that. But will there be any problems since the bios reports only that a maximum drive size of 61-66GB is OK? If I select a disk size larger than the 61GB figure (roughly) BIOS locks up on the hard drive menu (the computer will boot, but if i try and view the HD section of the BIOS menu, bios locks up and i have to ctrl-alt-del). If FReeBSD can see 120GB, what happened to the other 40GB? Is there a danger that I could wind up writing data to nowhere or having some other disk problem if I install FBSD this way? |Normally the limititation is just that the root partition must be within |the area that the bios can see.

Re: What's unknown about i386-unknown?
In response to Dan Mahoney, System Admin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hey all. I see i386-unknown as a build target all the time. So my (possibly silly) question is: what's the unknown variable here? And why isn't it? I seem to remember a conversation about this, and that the original spec for that string required a physical location after the architecture. I'm guessing that at the time it was very important to know which of the few physical machines did the job. If my memory is reliable, it's not that the information is unknown, it's just that nobody cares any more, therefore nobody bothers to enter the physical location information. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
xdm woes
Hi, I recently purchased a new computer (well, purchased the components and put them together). The hardware is ASUS P5B Premium, nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT, 2-channel JMicron JMB 363 PCIe card, Intel Core2 Quad Q6600, six Samsung HD501LJ CR100-10 HDDs striped using gstripe (used for storage), one Samsung SP1614C SW100-30 HDD used as system disk (/, /usr, /var and /home). I'm running 7.0-BETA3 and Xorg 7.3, with the nv driver that comes with Xorg (nVIDIA's own driver refuses to compile with the message that 7.0 -CURRENT aren't supported. Now for my problem. Everything works like a charm, except for one small annoyance. If I run xdm, everything hangs when I log out. The monitor just turns black and i get no response whatsoever for neither the mouse nor the keyboard. The only thing that works is shutting the computer off (by quickly pushing aqnd releasing the power button, so the OS shuts down using ACPI). This happens every time. No matter what window manager I use. But it only happens when I use xdm. If I start X with startx, it shuts down cleanly and returns to the tty from which I ran startx. The only clue I've been able to find about this is in /var/log/xdm.log (which I'm enclosing). I'd be happy to share my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files as well (and any other files that might help solving this too for that matter), but because of their sizes I'll only do that on request. I haven't touched any of the X and xdm resource files excpet xorg.conf. my /var/log/xdm.log looks like this (the last line confuses me): X.Org X Server 1.4.0 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD trapper.homedns.org 7.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 #0: Sun Nov 18 02:13:50 CET 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAZLAR i386 Build Date: 20 November 2007 05:09:57PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Re: Build Frustrations
This allowed apache2-non-ports to compile. However the question in my mind that still bears answering is: why apr would FIND such a library as installed (i.e. not fail at configure-time) but then fail to compile. I.e. why does the APR not set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS correctly. This you should post to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I might even answer it there, but the answer lies in the configure script logic which was chosen very carefully. -- Philip M.

Storing variable in Bash
I am attempting to write a script that will work on files stored in an array.
The function is supposed to strip the files extension and then store the name
of the file as a variable. This is what I have so far.
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
declare -a fname
declare -i count
declare -i limit
fname=( `ls *.sh | tr '\n' ' '` )
count=${#fname[*]}
limit=0
while [ ${limit} -lt ${count} ]; do
echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''
# do something here
limit=$((limit+1))
done
What I want to do is store the file in a variable. I have tried this:
F_Name=echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''
As well as:
F_Name=( `echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''` )
along with several different variants of it, but without success. I continually
receive an error message. Due to a particular situation, I cannot use
'basename' to accomplish this task.
Is there anyway that this can be done?
Thanks!

arbitrary build can't find libs - right way to do this?

So my question is, should I be changing my path, is there a standard variable I need to export, or what? Obviously for ports this just works, so I've never had to do it.

Data management (devel) and network size increase
I know there are quite a few members here who have grown through ranks and network size increases since I've joined this list, hence I'll ask my question here. Pardon the length, but if you follow through, I'm certain I'll get good feedback. Problem: Our network has grown exponentially in the last few years (without extensive forward-looking thought), and I have development work, data files etc on each server that has been implemented. Todo: Overhaul the entire network from Layer 1 up. Need: To be able to access data very quickly no matter what box I am on, and to do it securely. More in depth: Let's assume I have 30 servers, all within one PoP. Instead of having to SSH into server 'A' from server 'C' to look for a file I need for a program I have written (or just a normal data file), I want a way that I can have one source of ALL my data, then from ALL servers, be able to: # find /home/steve -name file.name Instead, I have to either remember (yeah, good luck), or guess what server the file is on, look for it remotely, then scp it over. For development, I had CVS set up at one point, but I found it to be too much effort for my simple tasks (I was probably using it beyond what I needed). I know about NFS, but I've heard it is a hassle to initially configure and relatively insecure. (This is not my stand, and I'm willing to be corrected). Does anyone have some recommendations on how I can consolidate my data (including development (almost all Perl)), so that it can be accessed as I would a local directory tree? Beyond that, also a suggestion on particularly the development files. If CVS is the way for that, I'll do it, but file management/access is more important. A key factor will be the ease of implementation of a new server into the mix. I have no problem throwing up a box with GELI, but it's gaining the access to the data like it were a local drive I want to make easy. Make sense?

In addition I got the following complaint: Neither host 'this_host.domain.tld' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with ./bin/resolveip Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option This is strange because this is also secondary dns server for the domain. I looked in ports at what is available for mysql and there are a number of listings for various versions. For a particular version there appear to be three separate directories, client, server, and scripts. I am a little confused as to what all to build and install. Now that I have gotten a handle on using ports, I am doing it that way instead of my initial approach, get the tarballs unzip, configure, make and make install (and hope for the best). This happens to be one of those, accept it is a prebuilt binary package. mysql-max-5.0.18-freebsd5.3-i386 (hmmm...5.3?...) I will try to remove every thing it installed and got to ports if I can not solve the immediate problems. Any advice, suggestions, data appreciated.

Re: mysql install Q

In addition I got the following complaint: Neither host 'this_host.domain.tld' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with ./bin/resolveip Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with the --force option This is strange because this is also secondary dns server for the domain. I looked in ports at what is available for mysql and there are a number of listings for various versions. For a particular version there appear to be three separate directories, client, server, and scripts. I am a little confused as to what all to build and install. Now that I have gotten a handle on using ports, I am doing it that way instead of my initial approach, get the tarballs unzip, configure, make and make install (and hope for the best). This happens to be one of those, accept it is a prebuilt binary package. mysql-max-5.0.18-freebsd5.3-i386 (hmmm...5.3?...) I will try to remove every thing it installed and got to ports if I can not solve the immediate problems. Sounds a good idea. If you have an up-to-date ports tree and then install /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server, you should get a current version of MySQL 5.0 (although 5.1 is out now), and you you will also get the client as a dependency, so you can run your server and talk to it as well. As for the problem above, the current libcrypt.so is linked to libcrypt.so.3, so your tarball is too old for your current system. Use ports instead ;-) And, finally, what does `hostname` return on your system? Kevin Kinsey -- I refuse to consign the whole male sex to the nursery.

Re: arbitrary build can't find libs - right way to do this?

You aren't using this, so far as I can see. The other two are options to add to the default search path. Above, it seems like you are using -l to add an include file path, this is wrong, you should use -I, -l is to specify specific libraries to link in, not a path to search for the libs in. To add a library search path, you use -L. ...

Using brandelf
Can you use brandelf to read the elf type of a binary? The man page shows a usage that might possibly do this, but doesn't bother to say what that usage does. To be honest, I need to do some work with the linux stuff, and the usage of /compat/linux and /usr/compat/linux, well, I don't understand, and I haven't seen a good enough explanation yet. Stuff like the ld.so.conf file to configure linux's ldconfig, it assumes the /compat/linux prefix. Do all the binaries do that? I mean, the browser files, they use a sh scri[t to kick them off, do they use that prefix, or assume stuff? I need to know this so I can keep going forward on getting flash to work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
