7.0R: printing from Samba to CUPS
Hello All, During the last weekend I've installed FreeBSD 7.0R, the system and compiled all the 'ports' I need, i.e. as well cups-base-1.3.6_1 Common UNIX Printing System cups-pdf-2.4.6 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_1 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers cups-samba-6.0 The Common UNIX Printing System: MS Windows client drivers samba-3.0.28,1 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX samba-libsmbclient-3.0.28 Shared libs from the samba package I'm using Samba only to have access from a Windows XP in a virtual machine (Qemu) on my laptop to the files in FreeBSD world and for printing from XP to the CUPS in FreeBSD world. Worked all fine before in FreeBSD 6.2R, but not in 7.0R. It says in /var/log/cups/error_log: E [22/Mar/2008:10:12:40 +0100] Unsupported character set iso-8859-1! I've digged into this and could make it work again by launching Samba in an UTF8 environment, for example with: # LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba start (or setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the start script). Any comments on this?

Re: A few jail questions
David Allen wrote:
I've recently been examining the use of jails in FreeBSD, and I have some
questions I hope someone can shed some light on with respect to running
virtual servers in jails.
1. Upgrading. This probably a It Depends question, but if a host system
is upgraded (within version numbers), will the new kernel and world on the
host system cause potential problems with existing jails when they are
restarted? Or do the jails need to be rebuilt before they are started?
In general, no. It is quite possible to host a jail running effectively a
different version of FreeBSD than the base machine -- a technique that is used
extensively in the ports build cluster. The emulation is not perfect, and
of course the kernel that is used is the one from the base system, but it's
fine for most purposes.
If it's just a case of slight lag between updating the base system and the
jails, then I wouldn't worry about it.
2. Localhost. Jails seem to be implemented using IP address aliasing, so
anything within the jail that wants to, or is configured to, bind to the
localhost address, now gets bound to the jail's IP address. This means
that what was once local, is now publically available. Will running a
firewall on the host system work in such cases?
Yes, a firewall is a good idea. One very effective method to secure a jail
is to create the jail bound to the *loopback* interface of the main host, and
then use firewall redirect rules to send the wanted traffic to the jail's
IP. eg. using pf:
jail_int = 127.0.0.2
jail_ext = 12.34.56.78
[...]
nat on $ext_if proto { tcp udp } \
from $jail_int \
to !$jail_int - $jail_ext static-port
rdr on $ext_if proto tcp \
from any \
to $jail_ext port { 22 80 } - $jail_int
rdr on $ext_if proto udp \
from any \
to $jail_ext port 53 - $jail_int
So in this case on tcp traffic to ports 22 nd 80 or udp traffic to port 53
is redirected into the jail.
Variations on this technique are about the only way to effectively give a
jail more than one IP.
3. Sendmail. The usual approach of setting sendmail_enable=NO (or using
DAEMON_OPTIONS) won't prevent sendmail running in a jail from starting up
and listening for incoming mail from external hosts. Short of disabling
sendmail entirely, I'm wondering what approach most people use as a
workaround.
Fixed by the bind-jail-to-loopback trick above.
Cheers,
Matthew

Subversion and FreeBSD permission problems
I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and SVN but myself and a few developer friends are undertaking a small project and I've been tasked with getting the source control working. I decided to use FreeBSD for the server for numerous reasons, stability and security among them. I'm no stranger to Unix, however, I've been using Linux for a long time. Anyway, my server is up and running and I've install svn via the ports system (acquire from portsnap). I have set up a repository in /usr/local/svn/repository via svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repository and imported a test project into it via svn import TestProject file:///usr/local/svn/repository/TestProject. I then fired off the deamon server via svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn/repository which all seems to have worked well. The thing is, I can't actually perform a checkout of the repository via the server. If I move into a temp directory and do svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/repository/TestProject it works fine but if I do svn svn://127.0.0.1/TestProject I get an error stating svn: Can't connect to host '127.0.0.1': Connection refused. Also, if I try and use TortoiseSVN to browse the repository externally I get an error stating Error * Can't connect to host '192.168.0.10': No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? I've been reading the free O'Reilly Subversion book but I'm a bit clueless. I suspect it's something to do with permissions on FreeBSD but I just don't know enough about it =o) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tinybsd ports (dhcpd3)
I suppose this is more a question on ports than on Tinybsd. I'm trying to build a Tinybsd 0.9 system with DHCP-server (isc-dhcpd3) and included it in tinybsd.ports file. When the system builds though, there is an on-screen configuration menu for the dhcpd3 port. This screen appears, but is not able to take keyboard input. Ultimately, it wasn't possible to configure anything, and the only thing I could do was to hit enter and continue with the defaults. Is there any way to circumvent this onscreen menu?

Re: bus_dmamem_alloc
Hi Mark, Actualy I'm not getting any error from bus_dmamem_alloc, that's the strange thing. Yet printing the dma_map pointer shows 0 unless I use bus_dmamap_create after bus_dmamem_alloc. bus_mamap_load doesn't fail in both cases. I'm working on an Ethernet driver for FreeBSD, pinging messages larger than MTU crash the kernel at some point, I'm investigating the dma direction at the moment. --Yony On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 7:29 PM, Mark Tinguely [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: so I'm running: err = bus_dmamem_alloc(ring-dma_tag, ring-buf, BUS_DMA_NOWAIT|BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW, ring-dma_map); but after calling bus_dmamem_allloc the dma_map variable is still NULL. is this OK?

If Tinybsd is doing standard port system commands (cd net/dhcp3-server; make install), it should pick up the existing config and go with it. Or, running tinybsd with the enironment BATCH=yes will skip the port config, and build what is default if no config file exists.

Re: How to uninstall a flash port.
I installed the Linux flash9 port on a new 7.0 box to work with SeaMonkey and it dies when it reaches flash using sites. How can I de-install this port with out causing problems to other programs? I cant find it in the handbook how to's. Im I missing something? Thanks... by the way you can use linux-flash7 instead and if you are using the native FreeBSD firefox and not linux-firefox you have to install and use nspluginwrapper or else it will not work, your second alternative is gnash which works natively with firefox. To use nspluginwrapper you would have to run this after the install. nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so remember for the linux plugins to embed on the native firefox they need some kind of wrapper. Flashplugin9 will not work with native firefox or linux-firefox and I think it's because the linux emulator uses an old version of linux so we have to wait until it changes to a more current version. Sorry not a response to the OP but hopefully useful correction: %uname -sr FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE %pkg_info -Ix firefox firefox-2.0.0.12_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla %pkg_info -Ix plugin linux-flashplugin-9.0r115 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5 A compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) plugins ... I don't actually see a lot of flash as I have flashblock installed but I can't recall having probs when I have chosen to view it, except it still doesn't work with youtube. I've just installed wine and win32 firefox+flashplugin for youtube and bbc iplayer and that works fine. Are you trying to tell me that you got flash 9 working? I sure would like to know how to get it working without crashing. Yes though like I say I also use flashblock so I only see the flash I want to. I'm moving house at the moment so I can't try and recreate my steps to install it but it was something like: install firefox, linux-flashplugin9, nspluginwrapper from ports locate libflashplayer.so run nspluginwrapper I'll try running without flashblock for a while and see what happens.

Timezone problem
Hello everyone,
First of all, sorry for the terrible English I will do my best, also I don't
have much programming knowledge only some PHP.
I am having issues with a software that I run on my FreeBSD server
(6.2-RELEASE). Here is a simple demonstration of the problem:
This code:
// CODE START
#include stdio.h
#include time.h
int main() {
extern long timezone1;
tzset();
printf(timezone is %d\n, timezone);
printf(tzname[0] is %s\n, tzname[0]);
printf(tzname[1] is %s\n, tzname[1]);
return 0;
}
// CODE END
Give this result:
timezone is 134513672
tzname[0] is EST
tzname[1] is EDT
The value of timezone should be 14400 which is the difference between my
timezone (EDT) and UTC in seconds. This problem only appeared when we went
from EST to EDT (daylight saving time) on march 9th. Anyone knows why I am
getting 134513672 ?
Here is some more information about my system:

# date -u

Re: How to uninstall a flash port.
Eduardo Cerejo wrote: I installed the Linux flash9 port on a new 7.0 box to work with SeaMonkey and it dies when it reaches flash using sites. How can I de-install this port with out causing problems to other programs? I cant find it in the handbook how to's. Im I missing something? Thanks... by the way you can use linux-flash7 instead and if you are using the native FreeBSD firefox and not linux-firefox you have to install and use nspluginwrapper or else it will not work, your second alternative is gnash which works natively with firefox. To use nspluginwrapper you would have to run this after the install. nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so remember for the linux plugins to embed on the native firefox they need some kind of wrapper. Flashplugin9 will not work with native firefox or linux-firefox and I think it's because the linux emulator uses an old version of linux so we have to wait until it changes to a more current version. Sorry not a response to the OP but hopefully useful correction: %uname -sr FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE %pkg_info -Ix firefox firefox-2.0.0.12_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla %pkg_info -Ix plugin linux-flashplugin-9.0r115 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5 A compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) plugins ... I don't actually see a lot of flash as I have flashblock installed but I can't recall having probs when I have chosen to view it, except it still doesn't work with youtube. I've just installed wine and win32 firefox+flashplugin for youtube and bbc iplayer and that works fine. Are you trying to tell me that you got flash 9 working? I sure would like to know how to get it working without crashing. Yes though like I say I also use flashblock so I only see the flash I want to. I'm moving house at the moment so I can't try and recreate my steps to install it but it was something like: install firefox, linux-flashplugin9, nspluginwrapper from ports locate libflashplayer.so run nspluginwrapper I'll try running without flashblock for a while and see what happens.

Re: List replies
There is a touching concern for newbies in all this, which is out of step with the somewhat edgy aspect of FreeBSD that most of you seem to embrace in other connections. And the bottom line is that most newbies end up elsewhere. If making FreeBSD more popular is a priority, there is long list of issues that are more vital than this detail that we are discussing in this thread. Given that the project is run almost entirely by volunteers, I suppose some disconnects are inevitable. One example: it's considered very important for questions@ to be newbie-friendly, to the point of accepting posts from non-subscribers, but it's *not* considered important to tune up sysinstall to prevent botches like installing a system that can't be booted because it has no kernel. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OT: (Way OT) PHP and MySQL concurrency control using MyISAM tables
MyISAM supports locking (like all engines) but not transactions. Without transactions, you can do a lock lock a table or tables, and unlock them, however you cannot roll back statements -- so if a statement down the line fails for some reason there is no way to rollback and undo past statements (automagically at least) The simple solution is to use InnoDB, which supports Good Things you want - it's more scalable across multiple threads, row-level locking, transactions, foreign keys, etc. The differences are fairly well documented. It sounds like you're using PDO, please read up on auto-commit mode. Don't reinvent the wheel, especially when the wheel is already built better than you could hack out a replacement for it :) -Patrick On 23/03/2008, Da Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 2008-03-23 at 19:17 -0400, Bill Moran wrote: Da Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this is not quite the list for these things, but I tried the PHP list and got no reply whatsoever.

RE: Timezone problem
Yes, I have applied this patch: http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-07:04.zoneinfo.asc I have also installed this port: /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo Which installs : tzdata2008a.tar.gz And I have obviously ran tzsetup, rebooted, but the problem persists.

The main goal is to make it possible for Windows clients to access their Samba home shares. I'm not sure if mpd is the best solution, but I will give it a try. I have installed /usr/ports/mpd4 and have the following configuration: I run openvpn on FreeBSD and Windows XP. I have now succeeded in establishing connections from Windows to a VPN server based on mpd4. But it has some severe limitations: I have to define every single connection in the conf file (not a major problem). And I don't see any option to authenticate against neither UNIX or Samba passwords. Is that different through openvpn? Could you give some brief hints on the configuration or maybe a reference to a useful howto? Giving you the program name ought to be enove of a hint. http://www.google.com/search?q=openvpn The openvpn site has a very nice howto. I can tell you the setup I have. I don't authenticate against UNIX or Samba passwords. I don't see what good it will do to require such autentication. It might even post a security risk. It might be posible. I do use certificates (standard) so I can cut off machines. Users need to authenticate when the connect to the services of a machine. I have a firewall on each computer. I have a VPN tunnel beteen sites and a road warrior setup for laptops. And I have a setup that allows me to take a server down without disrupting traffic flow beteen sites. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Mac osX drivers
I know I keep asking about drivers, but what about Mac drivers? I understand that Mac osX is based fairly well on BSD, so would the drivers be portable? This is all on a current project I'm working on...
