Enabling CUPS on FreeBSD 7.0
In the instructions I can find on the Internet about the above subject, one needs a file called cups.sh which should linked from cups.sh.sample. None of the files exist on my newly installed 7.0-RELEASE system. I can ofcourse copy this file from another system but I'm thinking that maybe there's a change and this file is no longer needed? Any comments on this? Thanks /Leslie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Wake-on-LAN and the em driver (freebsd 7.x)
How can I get the WOL (wake-on-lan) feature to work on my 7-stable system? I have a dual-boot system with an Intel PRO/1000 PT card that works great with FreeBSD, but the WOL only works under XP. Is there an ifconfig option (or similar) to enable WOL under FreeBSD? I notice that the LED on the gigibit hub for system is not lit after FreeBSD "halt -p", but is lit (low-speed) after XP shutdown. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Kent ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
libc.so.6 not found
Hi! I have here severe problems with installing stuff. I tried to recompile xemacs 21.4 and got a: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found, required by "install-info" I searched google and it seems that this is from FreeBSD 6 while I am running 7 and I have only libc.so.7 on my system. I wondered, tried to compile xemacs 21.5 from the sources and ran into some other trouble. I figured that I'll do a a cvsup with FreeBSD 7.0-stable and do a portupgrade -ra to do an upgrade for all packages; hoping that the trouble wents away and I get some kind of xemacs with mule-support installed. But the portupgrade ran into some problems because of a stale dependency (ORBit2-2.14.10 -> libIDL-0.8.9_1 (devel/libIDL). I want to install now this stale dependency and get the same error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found, required by "install-info" Anyone who can help here?

I guess you missed part of the upgrade steps when you updated to 7.0. The step you missed involved a portupgrade -fa (or -faP) to refresh all of your ports with 7.0 versions to avoid precisely this problem. You should do that now to repair your system.

Yeah, pkgdb -F ran through after that w/out any problem, running portupgrade -ra or portupgrade -fa advices me to do the same again. Doing that now…last time it took an hour or so…I hope I can go on then with portupgrade Right now the system seems to be messed up like in times when I worked with SuSE-linux and played around with alpha-stuff and forced my way through the rpm-database…even though I didn't even touch current or anything below 7 (at least not that I know off) and never worked with a -f -option (I learned my lessons years ago with force-options) Niels ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: SCSI network
unmanaged switch will work much better :) I'd agree with that 100%- do the bandwidth math (not to mention the ease of setup): gigabit each way compared to a max of 320mb (I could be wrong on the exact figures, but the gigabit is still faster). 320MB is 2560Mb not 320Mb 160MB/s is above gigabit ethernet speed - half duplex, but when traffic goes mostly one direction - it's not a problem. Setup a small private network between the machines in question and everything would be happy. of course - but just asked as i have a bunch of unused U160 controllers and cables. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Seems so, but I do not know when because I never touched anything else than something with a 7 in it. And xemacs compiled originally just as an example. But right now portupgrade -fa is working - I hope that solves the problems I'm having. Any way how to find out if xemacs 21.5 is in any of the ports? Because the unicode-support in 21.4 sucks I heard from one of the core developers… And if it's only in current - is there any way to just install that one package from current or do I have to switch completely?

FWIW; I have two 7.0-RELEASE boxes with single (on board) and dual (pro/1000) em NICs. WOL works fine on both. The link light must be on after FreeBSD shuts down for WOL to work. You might try using the latest proboot.exe from Intel which allows you to update the NIC firmware and change its settings.

OK, so you in fact did not just do a direct install from the iso and nothing else :) One of those other steps must have gone wrong, e.g. you installed packages from the wrong package set. Seems so, but I do not know when because I never touched anything else than something with a 7 in it. And xemacs compiled originally just as an example. But right now portupgrade -fa is working - I hope that solves the problems I'm having. Any way how to find out if xemacs 21.5 is in any of the ports? Because the unicode-support in 21.4 sucks I heard from one of the core developers… And if it's only in current - is there any way to just install that one package from current or do I have to switch completely? Niels There is no such thing as "current" and "stable" for packages, only the same ports packaged for different release branches. Maybe this is how you installed 6.x packages, by accidentally installing via a "packages-stable" directory that was symlinked to "packages-6-stable"? A version of xemacs 21.5 is in editors/xemacs-devel.

samba/cups printer with quotas?
Hello All, Someone here just got back from an Apple 'show'.

I still have a ton of questions, and wonder if they would be better suited on a cups mailing list or here.. anyone have any advice or ever setup such a beast?

vge(4) driver not working at 1G speeds
Hi, I'm trying to a Via Velocity Gigabit Networking driver vge(4) to work at 1000baseTX on a Via EPIA SN18000 Motherboard. It will always Auto negotiation backoff to 100MB Full duplex, which works perfectly. When I try to manually force the card 1000baseTX the interface status reports 'no carrier' and I can get not connectivity. I have tried Ubuntu live disk and it works seamlessly to 1GB, so I'm sure the cabling/switch etc is fine. So I have tried 1000baseTX full and half duplex. I have tried to disable the hardware handoff using the mediaopt commands -rxcsum and -txcsum. Further I have tried to use the link0 operation as described in the man page but I get: nas# ifconfig vge0 mediaopt link0 ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured Further I have tried Release 7.0 and Stable 7 with the vge driver compiled in also as an external module loaded through loader.conf and lastly waiting until a full boot has completed and manually loading the if_vge module. The only thing I can see is that the chipset is actually a VT6130 and perhaps the driver needs 'tweaked' or there is some sysctl somewhere to poke it into life. As I say it works fine in 100MB mode and I can use 100M for a while but I'm planning on using this as a NAS so 1G would be preferred. Any help, suggestions, thoughts would be appreciated.

changed sendmail behavior on FreeBSD 7?
I've setup a new web server hostname doremi.ctgameinfo.com. When I try to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it tries to deliver it locally instead of to the mx server mx1.ctgameinfo.com. In previous versions this seems to work correctly. Why would it be trying to deliver locally this time? I'm running default sendmail config that comes with the standard install. Another server I have seems to have this problem even worse. It's a web server, and for any of the hundreds of domains hosted on it (www A records pointed at it, but MX records pointed elseware) it also tries to deliver locally. I was able to get this mostly working by using a smarthost to the actual mail server, but I don't understand why it would be ignoring the mx records. I've never had problems like these with previous versions.

After reading /etc/defaults/rc.conf, I understood that > the reason there's sendmail listening on TCP25 is so that local > daemons can send e-mail to the admin. Somewhat. Most daemons can do fine without the socket listener and invoke /usr/sbin/sendmail by default. Only ones that can't get to /usr/sbin/sendmail (i.e.: chrooted daemons), but in my experience they don't know how to talk SMTP either. I guess it's legacy that MTA's start their SMTP listener by default. You can set sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf to disable the listener. If you set it to "NONE" sendmail will be totally off and all mail from daemons invoking /usr/sbin/sendmail will end up in /var/spool/mqueue without being processed further. If you choose to go with the "NO" option, be sure to read and update /etc/aliases. The difference between mail stacking up in /var/spool/mqueue or /var/mail is only the packaging. Informative reading: newaliases(8), crontab(5) and periodic(8). -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Don't know much about the value of salt, but the old Win 98 machine I have around has a dead CD and dead floppy as well. Guess they are replaceable, but is it worth money and bother?

I'm more concerned about SCSI bus addressing being a problem. Perhaps the statement above means that each card can have a distinct ID on the bus. My experience with SCSI is pretty much limited to systems where the host computer is hardwired as device 0. If these cards are like that, they'll likely be pretty confused about who's who. Usually you should be able to change the Host-ID (which is 7 per default), but the real issue with SCSI is, that there is always an "initiator" which connects to a "target", although this can change (as you state) its not as easy as opening an other network port. Think of it as usb, you cannot hook 2 PC's together without some special device in between (ok SCSI is a bit more flexible tough). The only things that popped up on google were pretty much outdated (around 1998), so this will not really help you. It looks like the guys played with this to overcome the fast- ethernet limit. If you really need something fast, grab some used FC switches (Brocade) with GBIC's equipped and some cheap HBA's (e.g. emulex or qlogic). In this scenario you can run FC-IP which works well. There you can choose between 1/2/4G per sec depending on the money you want to spend (4G is way off limits!) Personally I think this is a little overkill, although nice to play with. :-) If you need a cheap solution why don't you equip you PC's with FireWire cards?

Specific questions about using FreeBSD should be addressed to questions@, hence I've cc'd this reply there. Another couple of points; if you're using the digest, snip the previous stuff, we've seen it already. Also set an appropriate subject field for your question. As for your question, I think you are trying to configure your system from KDE or Gnome and there's probably some sort of permissions problem that I'm not familiar with since I don't use either. Or are you running X as root? If so, don't, run it as an ordinary user and su to root after you've started X. Try configuring your network etc. as root from the console following the instructions in the handbook. If that doesn't work then your security level is probably set to something inappropriate and you'll need to change it.

Getting PXE booting to work on FreeBSD 7.0
I have set up a Linux Boot DHCP server (for other reasons that hopefully will become obvious later) which points to the BSD based tftp server. I did try to recompile the BSD pxeboot program to use TFTP as per the following but this did not appear to work as booting it still prompted for an NFS path : echo LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES >> /etc/make.conf; cd /usr/src/sys/boot/; make clean; make depend; make; cp i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /tftpboot/freebsd So... I set up /etc/exports with "/tftpboot/ -alldirs ro", and started up nfs. This works fine for manual mounting and for installing via nfs after booting off CD but I get the following errors when PXE booting... pxe_open: server addr: pxe_open: server path: /tftpboot/freebsd pxe_open: gateway ip: \ can't load 'kernel' The /tftpboot/freebsd/boot/loader.rc file contents are given here ( I have tried full OS paths to these as well to no avail) : echo Loading Kernel load /boot/kernel/kernel load linux.ko echo Booting load -r /mfs_root/mfsroot.gz echo \007\007 echo initialiasing h0h0magic set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c boot IMPORTANT: I am booting the client within a vmware-based instance (Vmware-server 1.0.4 on Centos 4.4) using bridged networking.

Generally, you want to use ".". The only time you'd use a specific tag is in rare cases where you're using an old (EOL'd) version of FreeBSD and want to point to a known-good snapshot of the ports tree for that branch. For example, RELEASE_4_EOL. So the short answer is, stick with "." as the tag.
