Installation
Hi there As a relatively inexperienced user of FreeBSD I have little input to offer the community as a whole save to suggest that offering a DVD iso image from which to install would save the sometimes extreme tediousness of disc swapping when adding packages. If I knew more about it I would make such an image myself, however, having never had to do it before it is something I will have to pen in for a later time. Just a thought.

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
If your router works like most do (and it appears that it does from the
IP your linux box is getting), all you need to do is put this into
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
(or rerun sysinstall and configure your ethernet card to do dhcp.)
# sysinstall
Choose Configure/Networking/Interfaces and set your NIC to do dhcp.
Hmmm, he doesn't need to select DHCP (or maybe he already has) since the
interface (eth0) already has an assigned IP address on 192.168.1.0
network (192.168.1.4). Can you ping the router's IP address ('ping
192.168.1.1')? If so then you need to look at your router's external
IP address (the one that is actually visible to the Internet via your
ISP provided IP address).

I stopped using gnome because of evolution and few other admin apps that don't
work, it took about 80 seconds to open evolution so I got fed up with it and
changed to xfce4, personally I think there's quite a few things broken with
gnome, specially the admin part of it which is not a problem with KDE. Posted
the problem a few times and all I've got was the freebsd loader spent quit a
bit of time looking for every evolution plugin so I disabled them and it still
took about 50 seconds to open which was unacceptable to me. Ubuntu on a slower
machine only takes about 3 seconds with every plugin enabled so it was obvious
to me that there was a bug somewhere. I hope they apply your fix to the gnome
port.

Re: RAID
thanks i read the atacontrol man. there is a part in there that says: .. A quick and dirty way to create such a mirrored array (RAID1) on a new system is to boot off the FreeBSD install CD, do a minimal scratch install, abort out of the post install questions, and at the command line issue the com- mand: atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6 then immediately issue a reboot and boot from the installation CD again, and during the installation, you will now see "ar0" listed as a disk to install on, and install on that instead of ad4, ad6, etc. . in my case the machine showed me the ar0 to install the system on it without doing this 'quick and dirty way'. and now i get: # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 status: READY subdisks: 0 ad4 ONLINE 1 ad6 ONLINE that tells me that i actually do have RAID1 active. which means it's a software one, correct? also if you do not mind please elaborate on "MatrixRAID is one of those not-really-raid controllers that onlyprovides RAID during the boot process..." thank you... Dan Nelson wrote: In the last episode (Mar 11), kalin m said: thanks i did install the system now on ar0. the dmesg output below didn't change. the df does show only one drive - ar0 - with a few slices... assuming now that i have RAID1 working is there any way to monitor disks individually? or as an array? how can i be sure that the RAID is actually working? or get any stats? i figured the driver for the must be iir. bit from the iir man page ther is not much about monitoring or status... MatrixRAID is one of those not-really-raid controllers that only provides RAID during the boot process, and the OS has to implement RAID in software itself. FreeBSD has an ataraid driver to handle these cards. The atacontrol command lets you view status.

Access will be with ssh dsa keys only.
What is the best way to make this SFTP only and not SSH?
1).ssh/authorization?
2) change user's shell to /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
3) change user's shell to a custom C wrapper around [2]

EVOLUTION SLOW START , a workaround
Hello all
This week I have time to trace the problem with evolution that
lasts too much time to start.
The problem is that glib on function g_module_load, searchs for a symbol
g_module_check_init, g_module_unload... by default.
It occurs that the evolution code, that will be loaded, does not have
those functions available... so th glib (and dlsym) tries to find the
symbol in every load module in memory... and doing so consumes all cpu
for several seconds, for each load module
! coded a solution for gmodule that tests for those special symbos, and
if found, uses dlsymb(RTLD_NEXT,) instead of dlsym(handler)
so it will search a much less modules, and evolution will start in 3
seconds... (20 times less...)
Of course the correct strategy is to correct code evolution module
(libevolution-mail.so). will do next time
modified file: /usr/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c
please note this is only a temporary fix... the correct solution is to
fix the
evolution module

MatrixRAID is one of those not-really-raid controllers that only provides RAID during the boot process, and the OS has to implement RAID in software itself.

ipfw, if_bridge and diverting for snort
Hello, I read Nick Rogness' helpful article on using snort-inline with ipfw. It mentions that diverting to a snort process can't be done with bridging because of "interaction of DIVERT sockets and bridging in the kernel". The article is not dated and it made me wonder if this is referring to the previous bridge capability rather than the newer if_bridge. I'm using if_bridge in my implementation. The question is, is it still a problem to divert to snort-inline from ipfw when using if_bridge?

The big problem is that it looks like you have /var and /uar in root.Those can grow unexpectedly - especially /var when logs and mail grow. /usr can grow when you install ports. So, your best bet might be to move /var or /var/mail, /var/spool and /var/log to /home and make symlinks. You could also put /usr/src and /usr/ports in /home and make symlinks. That would give you lots of room and eliminate most unexpected growth. Really, it is also a good idea to have /tmp in its own partition as well for the same protection of unexpected growth issue. If you don't want to deal with moving thing and making symlinks (I do that a lot and it is easy) you could back everything up and then repartition and make file systems for /usr. /var and /tmp. jerry > > This beeing the default base for my previous kernel / system update > > > *default host=cvsup5.fr.FreeBSD.org > *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup > *default prefix=/usr > *default tag=RELENG_5_5 > *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress > src-all > > > > Are there any other file I should be removing ? > > Knowing that I have already removed /boot/kernel.old > > ? > > > > Thanks for your support. > > > > > Gregober ---> PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD > bsd @at@ todoo.biz > > > P "Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing > this e-mail" > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

So boot into single user mode:
# fsck -p /
# mount -u /
# mount -o ro /usr
# env EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi vipw
On the root entry, change the part between the first and second colon (':') to

My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
As you can see in the aboved mentioned URL, wpi and wpa_supplicant don't play
nice. I had the same problem yesterday, setting wpi through ifconfig (WEP in
my case) and the card just works.
I also had the bluetooth message, but Fonz doesn't seem to have that.

Re: kernel error when upgrading to 7.0
Dave wrote: Hello, I've got a 6.2 or 3 box that i'm wanting to update to 7.0. I've cvsupped my source, made world, and built a kernel, all went successfully. This is the GENERIC kernel. When i do a make installkernel i am getting the error kldxref: file isn't dynamically linked Is this a show stopping error/ if so is there a workaround? This is harmless and can be ignored. It's caused by 6.x utilities trying to operate on a 7.0 kernel and its loadable modules, which doesn't work. Just proceed with the next steps in the upgrade procedure and it will all work fine.
