pseudoterminals question
Hi I'm experiencing "The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.". Well, I'm the system administrator, don't know what to do :) I want to understand more about ptys in FreeBSD. I have following questions. ls -l /dev/ | grep pty crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 169 Jul 18 10:34 ptyp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 171 Jul 18 11:21 ptyp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 178 Jul 18 11:13 ptyp2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 180 Jul 18 10:34 ptyp3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 182 Jul 18 11:19 ptyp4 1) That is, I have only 5 ptys, am I right? 2) As per FAQ, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html: "10.19.1 Build and install a new kernel with the line in the configuration file: device pty N where N is the number of requested pseudoterminals." I'm using FreeBSD 7.0, its GENERIC file has only "device pty", no N. What is the default for N, is it 5? 3) Is there a way to increase the number of ptys without rebuild the kernel?

i didn't know that konq could read CD's. it mmust have been
KAudioCreator
that i used to extract a few tracks onto my drive. somehow, it assumed
that i wanted the whole CD and i must have messed up while trying to
quit.
there's a player and extractor on the gnome side, Sound Juicer. for
some reason it can't find /dev/cd0.[?]

Yes. Apache's rotatelogs is a better choice than newsyslog. Under heavy load, the latter can corrupt Apache logs. rotatelogs also can do changes based on log size, like this: CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs/var/log/httpd-access.log 5M" \ combined and if you don't like deciphering Unix epoch time, you can embed times in your log filenames like this: CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs \ /var/log/httpd-access.log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400" combined (n.b.

Hi, I have acl support on some filesystems, and wanted to turn it on on /home, too. So I ran: # mount -u -o acls /home Now, just "mount" listed /home as supporting acls.

I had this exact question/problem when setting LDAP authentication up for the first time last week. The man pages don't seem all that clear, to me at least, and the pam documentation is vague, when you can find it. Anyway, below are the settings I used to get SSH authentication working. The settings work, but I don't claim they are "correct". $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf group:files ldap group_compat: nis hosts:files dns passwd: files ldap passwd_compat:nis services: compat services_compat: nis shells: files ldap $ cat /etc/pam.d/sshd # auth #auth sufficient pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts #auth requisite pam_opieaccess.so no_warn allow_local #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass authsufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so no_warn try_first_pass authrequiredpam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass I believe, if I read the documentation correctly, you want to add authsufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so to /etc/pam.d/login. That should instruct pam to check ldap at login. Hopefully, people who really know what they are doing will respond.

I'm kind of new to this, so would appreciate a hand. I just got through configuring a custom kernel. Both makebuild and installbuild take place with no problems and the kernel boots just like it's supposed to. But when I try to bring up X I get this error message: _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/remdog.net:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running I rebooted with the old kernel and everything is back to normal. Obviously I removed something from the kernel configuration file that I shouldn't have. Can someone give me a heads up on just what that might be? Thank you.

Re: log size handling
Mario Lobo wrote: What would be the proper way to set the rotation of apache logs in newsyslog.conf when there are separate log files for each virtual host? Do I have to rotate them myself via a script in crontab? There are several ways to do this. Here's three in addition to the script that someone else just posted: * Use the 'G' option to newsyslog. 'G' says that the filename field of newsyslog.conf actually contains a shell globbing pattern (wildcard) and files matching that should be rotated and compressed. * Use the rotatelogs program that comes with Apache. In this case, you replace the logging configuration statements in https.conf eg. instead of: CustomLog "/var/log/httpd-access.log" combine you have: CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd-access.log 86400" which will create a new log file every 86400 seconds (= 1 day) and label each one with the unix time it was created appended to the name. eg: /var/log/httpd-access.log.1216252800 That will change files at midnight UTC each day, which is fine if your server lives in the UK but not quite as convenient if your server is in Australia. * Use the conceptually very similar program 'cronolog' (in ports as sysutils/cronolog) This works like 'rotatelogs' except that you give it a date-time pattern using the %-escapes as in strftime(3) -- so CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/log/%Y/%m/%d/httpd-access.log" will create /var/log/2008/07/17/httpd-access.log for today's traffic. Timestamps are based on the TZ setting the server uses I believe, so would likely be the same as local wall-clock time. With the last two, there's no facility to compress or delete old log files: however it is pretty simple to write a very small shell script to do either of those things. The last two have the subtle advantage that you don't need to signal apache at file rotation time, which means there is absolutely no effect on performance when it switches to a new log file. You could switch log files every hour on a really busy site and not notice the overhead.

Atheros Wireless Card Causes Page Fault
Hi, This is a question about a hardware problem. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask. I have a recently purchased Lenovo ThinkPad, with a Atheros 5212 wireless card (well, dmesg says it's an Atheros 5212; I believe it). It also has a wired internet connector, which works perfectly fine. I wish I was writing you from that computer, but I am at work right now and don't have the ThinkPad at my fingertips. I can update later tonight, but perhaps you can spot my error with just the somewhat incomplete information I have right now. I have compiled the Atheros driver and wireless support into my kernel: "device ath device ath_hal device ath_rate_sample device wlan device wlan_wep device wlan_ccmp device wlan_tkip" The card is detected correctly upon system startup. If I write ifconfig_ath0="DHCP" into /etc/rc.conf (or, alternatively, use dhclient ath0) the system connects to the wireless router and gets an IP address successfully. (My wireless at home is unsecured). I go to test the connection in Lynx. Google loads (yay!). I submit a google search, that may load. But I rarely get a third page transmitted before I get a page fault. The error is quite like this person's (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-September/065608.html), though his problem didn't seem to be resolved on the list. In particular, the system reports a "fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode". Fault virtual address is 0x0, not 0xc, if it makes a difference. The fault code is also "supervisor read, page not present." The current process is ath0 taskq. To my (totally uneducated) eyes, this seems to be a driver problem. I am not certain of my wireless card's make/number, but I assume that it really is an Atheros 5212, not only because that's what FreeBSD says, but that's also what Lenovo ships as the basic ThinkPad card (I didn't go with Intel wireless). So if I'm using the right driver, I'm not sure what the issue might be. Thanks for any help you might have!

It's available in the FreeBSD ports as sysutils/dmidecode or from it's website at http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ This tool enables you to retrieve things like bios-vendor, bios-version, bios-release-date, system-manufacturer, system-product-name, system-version, system-serial-number, system-uuid, baseboard-manufacturer, baseboard-product-name, baseboard-version, baseboard-serial-number, baseboard-asset-tag, chassis-manufacturer, chassis-type, chassis-version, chassis-serial-number, chassis-asset-tag, processor-family, processor-manufacturer, processor-version, processor-frequency, etc. It's also available for other UNIX flavors too, so it's nice when you have a heterogeneous environment where sysctl and uname don't have the exact same flags. I've tried it successfully on various versions of FreeBSD, RedHat Enterprise Linux & Ubuntu Linux.

Re: how to simulate a user's crontab?
John, it is not a permissions issue, but rather a path issue. Do as the other poster suggested and run a cron job to dump the environment and you will see that the PATH inside a cron job is very rudimentary. Either add what you need to it in the crontab or cron job, or always use absolute paths for everything in a cron entry. alternatively, set up an AT job as the user, then find the script generated by at and grab a copy (/var/spool/cron ???). You can use that copy as the basis for all cron scripts for that user, and always have the 'user' environment set up correctly. Yes, I finally figured this out. I had the problem completely backwards... I assumed that when I ran 'su user', I was logged in as the user. Since the command worked when I was 'logged in' and didn't work for crontab, I figured crontab must be different. It never occured to me that *I* was running in a different environment :-) If I had realized, a quick read of the su man page would have solved my problem. As it was, I had been shown su long ago by another admin, and just assumed I knew how it worked. Wrong! Well, that's the joys of being of newbie administrator... So little time, so many man pages to read!

Hi, Bill Moran: In response to Zbigniew Szalbot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, I am just wondering if for the software like Apache the log size matters at all.

In /etc/rc.conf, I have:
ifconfig_ndis0="wpa DHCP"
In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, I have:
network={
ssid="FriedrichAir"
psk="somekey"
}
LATE BREAKING NEWS
I GOT IT
I added ap_scan=2 to wpa_supplicant.conf and a few more
In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, I now have:
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="FriedrichAir"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
proto=WPA
psk="somekey"
}
Note: The man page for wpa_supplicant.conf incorrectly states ap_scan values
other than 1 are for other operating systems.
Read /usr/share/examples/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf regarding
ap_scan.

Re: Problem with enabling DRI on ATI Mobility Radeon X1350
This was much easier, that I waited :)
After first build I had "link_elf: symbol drm_core_ioremap_wc undefined"
every time I tried to kldload radeon, but it was solved by 3
additional lines in sources :)
So, here is step-by-step instruction:
1) download sources
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
$ cd drm
2) edit sources
# git diff
diff --git a/bsd-core/drmP.h b/bsd-core/drmP.h
index 88ea4e6..122ac4a 100644
--- a/bsd-core/drmP.h

}
+#ifndef drm_core_ioremap_wc
+# define drm_core_ioremap_wc drm_core_ioremap
+#endif
+
#endif /* __KERNEL__ */
#endif /* _DRM_P_H_ */
3) install kernel modules
# cd bsd-core
# make && make install
# kldunload radeon
# kldunload drm
# kldload drm
# kldload radeon
4) check result
$ dmesg | grep drm
drm0: on vgapci0
vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080613
I haven't tried to integrate these sources in kernel, so I have only
device agp in kernel config,
not drm/radeondrm
After that KDE starts work much faster :)
But I still have problems running Compiz/Beryl...
Even kompmgr fails to start with KDE, but works just fine if started manually.
