Using libmap.conf in this way is functionally equivalent to sym-linking the shlibs and is just as evil. If an app needs libc.so.5 then the only correct answer is to give it libc.so.5 by installing compat5x. libmap.conf has its uses, but one of the primary reasons for having it -- switching between different threading implementations -- is a non-issue on 7.0 where you get libthr style threads as standard. I think there may be one or two ports that advise you to make specific libmap.conf settings, but unless you've installed one of those, you really should not need a libmap.conf at all.

amd64 or i386 for desktop use?
I have new hardware (Abit ip35-pro, Intel Q6600), and was contemplating installing FreeBSD/arch, but now realise that I am going to have some problems. My nvidia card will not be of much use (GeForce 8500GT), since nvidia-drivers are not there for amd64, and the open source nv driver does not even support XVideo extension for these cards. I can downgrade to a nv 7xxx series card, which works better with the open driver. I do not mind loss of 3D support, but would need basic things like mplayer. So my questions are: 1. Should I get nvidia 7xxx or an ATI card? Which card is most likely to work reasonably well? No fancy features required, but may be appreciated later. 2. Any problems with flash plugin (flash7 for now, I do not mean the confounded flash9 headache)? 3. Other casual desktop user problems I should be aware of? 4. Is it worth it? Perhaps I should stay with i386, but it is a pity not to be able to use the new machine to its full potential. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Like Kris said, not really good. An option may be, if you want to limit your
exposure to compatibility issues, is to use libmap.conf , so you only map
libc.so.6 as .5 ONLY for certain executables/libraries that depend on them.
I find it this method a much better one to managed - one central place to

The "gnome-session" line needs to be in ${HOME}/.xinitrc, which also
needs to have permissions 700 at least.

I concur; when the time to diagnose and correct a problem exceeds the
amount of time to simply start over, I would definitely choose to
start over fresh. Besides getting a potentially more stable system, you

longer need.
I have been in the same situation a few times and it just seemed like a
more logical action to take.

If you saved the portupgrade -af output it will tell you which ones failed to rebuild. Otherwise you can look for files that were not modified since before your rebuild attempt.

Re: Uname borked on ??-Release...
Your problem makes no sense then :)
Up until now, you've told me a couple things
I might not have already known :-D
The kern.osrelease returns a string
compiled into the kernel (see conf/newvers.sh), so if it returns
6.2-RELEASE then that string must be present.
I'd like to think so, but, I don't. If you've feeling masochistic,
you can see that evidence below. When does the sysctl get set?
During boot, I assume? Is there any "caching" of sysctl data
that might persist over a reboot?
Even better, have I been [EMAIL PROTECTED] lol. Be the first time in
forever, but I've griped and griped to my ISP about the security
of their CPE, to no avail.
Being as named is now crapping out ("bad system call"), I'm thinking
I'll try a Windows solution (not that I'd consider using a Winbox
here, but I may backup the data, wipe the disk, and try again)
unless lightning strikes and I figure it out pretty soon. Fortunately,
this isn't a mission-critical BIND server. I do need to get httpd/PHP
back up, tho, because it's hard to print HTML invoices for February
when you can't serve HTML ;-) The system's so unstable I'm not
sure I wanna waste any more time fighting with it at this point.

Solved: FreeBSD diskless workstation boot over Linux PXE server
Hello Erik and all, thank you for all the help; all my issues are resolved, mostly stemming from silly misconfigurations and typos: 1. rc.conf file is missing - was caused by a typo - missing "#" from a comment line that began with the string "rc.conf". 2. i had some getty errors - bec. my /usr directory was not completely "tar'ed or cpio'ed" into my NFS root export. When I have iron'ed out and ensured that I followed Erik's instructions below: http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/diskless.html I was fine. thanks again. - V.

All, My goal is to allow authentication SSH and sudo access though use of an LDAP server. I have configured PAM to connect though to our LDAP server and it is successful using LDAP as a user base. However, I can only find scattered documentation on cached/nscd. Having the name service catching is critical to our deployment because doing LDAP lookups for information on file ownership such as 'stat' operations would be impractical. NSCD seems to be part of free BSD 7.0 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nscd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-stable&format=html. I can find no reference to it in the 6.X line. Will NSCD appear as port or package in free BSD 6.2 anytime soon? are there any other working alternatives to NSCD for the 6.2?

Not sure whether Dell hardware has any special management features, but on generic server hardware, I always make sure BIOS console redirection is enabled (gives you BIOS access), and that it's set to stop redirecting once the OS boots. Generally you will have network access (ssh or so) to a console server in the datacentre which presents the FreeBSD system's console. It's much easier to make sure you have an install CD which has the serial console enabled - download an ISO image, unpack it, add console="comconsole" to loader.conf and rebuild the ISO image, making it bootable. There was a thread about this a few months ago when Martin McCormick asked the question - there are a couple of tricky issues with getting the ISO unpacked and rebuilt without it doubling in size. If you do this, you'll see the boot process from the Beastie menu onwards (from which you can drop back to the loader if you need to), and it'll boot into sysinstall. Do the install normally. At the end, before exiting, I normally go to the config menu to edit /etc/ttys - to make sure I get a login on the serial console even if networking is stuffed for some reason. Feel free to give me a shout if you want more details.

I would say that using more memory to achieve the same thing would be a reasonable definition of "using memory less efficiently". It depends on your application, for example IIRC squid uses about 40% more memory on large caches under amd64 because of the huge linked-lists it uses for indexing. At 4GB it's not a cut and dried choice even if there are no 64-bit compatibility problems. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Cups server and client
Hi Daemons, a basic question before I run into experiments. I run a Cups printserver installation on a Slackware server. And now I want to connect from a BSD7.0 workstation to this server to print. I have to install Cups as well on the BSD-client? Is that right? Or can I access it even simply by setting up printcap?

This didn't change uname's output, and that worried me a bit. So, to make matters bette^H^H^H^Hadder, I csup'ped to RELENG_7_0 the day after it was released, read /usr/src/UPDATING, and the webpage detailing the upgrade, and did another buildworld/kernel cycle. Now I have no idea if I'm on 6 or 7 (seems like 7, but many ports issues, and I've rebuilt them all), and it's just becoming a major PITA. You didnt succeed in installing the new kernel. 'make installkernel' is the step in which this occurs. Thank you and Phillip for answering my post. However, I've done this 3 times now, and I don't skip that step. There have been no errors in the process, either. I've rebooted the system, and I'm still being told I'm running 6.2 by uname. In addition, pkg_add thinks I should be looking for 6-latest packages instead of 7, and the list of annoyances continues. And, "hmm", symbols? I'm guessing that knob is ON in FBSD7? Once again, proof that something's wrong, as I didn't build debugging kernels in FBSD6 ... so I'm thinking this is a 7 kernel? It just doesn't make sense to me. It *is* a Monday, after all. If installkernel didn't succeed, shouldn't there be any other evidence? Could skipping a mergemaster at some point have this effect? Possibly you have 6.x sources still. Or you are not actually booting /boot/kernel/kernel but some other kernel. Check sysctl kern.bootfile. You can also do strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 7.0-RELEASE to verify the kernel version string. #sysctl kern.bootfile kern.bootfile: /boot/kernel/kernel #strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 0-RELEASE @(#)FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #1: Thu Feb 28 12:22:38 CST 2008 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #1: Thu Feb 28 12:22:38 CST 2008 7.0-RELEASE #ls -l /boot/kernel/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9294687 Feb 28 12:22 /boot/kernel/kernel* Well, fudging around with uname's source shows that it's basically calling some sysctls, so maybe the question is, with what I have above, why do I still have: sysctl -a | grep kern.osre kern.osrelease: 6.2-RELEASE kern.osrevision: 199506 kern.osreldate: 602000 You rebooted, right? :) Kris Yes, sir!

Not sure if you understanding me I am most defenitly not saying I expect a cheap network card to perform on par with a premium card. I am merely saying ideally it should perform and be as stable as it is in other operating systems and if it isnt then look at what can be improved rather than just saying go buy a new peice of kit. Is freebsd a operating system for use on premium hardware only? as that what it feels like I am reading sometimes. Now on the bind tests if the hardware used on both linux and freebsd was the exact same spec hardware then blaming the hardware is invalid as its apple vs apple. Obviously if the linux tests were done on superior hardware then its apple vs orange and the tests are invalidated.

'make installkernel' is the step in which this occurs. Thank you and Phillip for answering my post. However, I've done this 3 times now, and I don't skip that step. There have been no errors in the process, either. I've rebooted the system, and I'm still being told I'm running 6.2 by uname. In addition, pkg_add thinks I should be looking for 6-latest packages instead of 7, and the list of annoyances continues. And, "hmm", symbols? I'm guessing that knob is ON in FBSD7? Once again, proof that something's wrong, as I didn't build debugging kernels in FBSD6 ... so I'm thinking this is a 7 kernel? It just doesn't make sense to me. It *is* a Monday, after all. If installkernel didn't succeed, shouldn't there be any other evidence? Could skipping a mergemaster at some point have this effect? Possibly you have 6.x sources still.

double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third
parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of
this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners.
The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double
claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that
particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real
winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double
claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep
your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
Congratulations
Mr. Halam Scott.
