To meke Desktop FreeBSD setting up by Xorg -- under VMWare?
Nice to meet you. I'm japanese ,Katsurou Takahash. I started to use FreeBSD to constitute my file server and I want to use FreeBSD as Desktop OS. I would like to know how to setting FreeBSD as Desktop OS by Xorg on VMware Fusion act 2. Or I want to know how to setting command by GUI. I use MacBookPro 15inch USkeyboard. If you know the way ,please tell me that. I installed xorg,ipa-ttfonts,xfce4 and sudo. And I make install clean. I tried the next setting of xorg.conf, but failed. please tell me how to rewrite the xorg.conf file or send me the file. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Your system might be wanting more then the system can offer.

I don't know what the max is. If you have to increase it a lot, f.e. >500%, then either the default is porely chosen, you demand a lot or your system is doing things it's not supposed to do. I would slowly increase it to insane ammounts. If it never goes away and load of the machine isn't shocking, then this might be a bug.

On some very old PowerEdge 2400 servers I have running 5-STABLE, the RTC timer occasionally stops firing, and causes the same symptoms you're seeing. Kicking it with "ntpdate -b pool.ntp.org" starts it up again. I don't see IRQ 8 in any of my "vmstat -i" outputs on newer boxes, so FreeBSD 7 might not even use the RTC anymore.

ldap cn=config/slapd.d querying
This may be a stupid question, but I haven't been able to alight on the answer to this. I'm investigating using dynamic configuration (cn=config or slapd.d system- whichever term you like) for an ldap service, but as far as I could see there is no way to change the setting on the fly through the ldap itself: is this correct? Is it dynamic in that you can adjust the config manually correcting the ldif files in the slapd.d directory knowing that the ldap server will pick up the changes immediately? Or is there a way that an ldap client (ldapmodify, luma, diradm, whatever) can access the config and change it that way?

ssh + xterm
Hi, I want to use ssh to connect to a remote machine, launch an xterm with the IP address of my X server display and exit ssh (there is no need to have ssh idled once xterm has started). I beleive that can be done in a single command, but I am clueless about the syntax. I am pretty much aware that running xterm -display IP-address:0.0 is pretty unsecure, but I consider the local environment to be secure enough. So far I used xrsh, which is based on rsh type of "authentication", by using ssh instead I intend to add password authentication.

disk/drive-bay problem
I have a Dell PowerEdge 4400 running FreeBSD 6.2 (yes, I know it's old). This machine has 8 hot-swapable drive bays. Recently I purchased 7 new drives for it (300Gig 15K) to replace the old ones (145Gig 10k). I was able to successfully install 6 of the 7 drives, and they all work perfectly. The 7th drive (actually the 4th drive-bay) gives lots of errors like this: g_vfs_done():da4s1d[READ(offset=261868847104, length=16384)]error = 5 and while you can partially read/write to it, every error like the above means a failed read or write. Here's the really strange part. 1. This only happens on drive-bay 4. If I swap the 300 Gig drives around, they are all happy in any drive-bay but drive-bay number 4, and there are no errors with any of them. 2. The old 145Gig drives work perfectly in any bay, including bay 4. This makes no sense to me. Why would one (proven good) drive fail in that slot, while the other (also proven good) drive succeeds. The only difference is the size and speed (145 vs 300, 10k vs 15k).

buildworld crashes
I accidentally did a dump on the wrong machine running FBSD 7.1-prerelease overwriting all of the file systems with content from another machine. This machine is simply a ftp server whereas the other machine a FAMP server running FBSD 7.1-prerelease. I would like to keep the contents of the ftp site (in other words, /home).

You might try a different configuration for your testing.

There can only be one route at any time for any given network. When you bring up bge0 with 192.168.0.1 a route is automatically created for 192.168.0.0 pointing to that interface. When you then bring up sk0 with 192.168.0.2 no additional route can be added for 192.168.0.0 since there is already one present. Therefore ALL traffic destined for the 192.168.0.0 network will go out via bge0. In order to be able to ping 192.168.0.2 _locally_ you'd either need to connect the interfaces with a crossover cable (well, crossover isn't strictly necessary since gigabit ethernet adapters can figure it out on their own..) OR plug both interfaces into a switch/hub. Ping packet goes out bge0 (according to the route), across the wire and comes in on sk0 (destination address). The response would be delivered directly to bge0 (without going over the wire). Similarly, in order to be able to ping 192.168.0.2 from a second machine all _three_ interfaces would need to be connected to the same network segment (via a switch/hub, etc). Ping packet goes out from peer, across the wire and in on sk0 (destination address). Response goes out bge0 (according to route), across the other wire and back to the peer. I hope this helps you make sense of things.

This seems to have jumped up and bitten me on the arse as well. I believe the "problem" lies herein: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/sudo/distinfo?rev=1.61 It appears that sudo has been changed following a security issue. I use a more restrictive umask than the default. I suspect you do as well. The sudo change now implements a union of umasks, therefore never lowering the umask of the person running sudo. This had the effect of truly screwing up many installed ports for me (I do the same as you `sudo portupgrade`). I'm not blaming the fix... just whining about it.

X to not blank screen or switch off monitor
Hiya I got a very minimalistic installation of FreeBSD, so much so that I login on console and just run startx and im presented with twm. The problem I seem to face is that I cant get X and / or freebsd to not blank the screen and / or switch off the monitor. Ive run xset s noblank && vbetool dpms on I even set blanktime="NO" in /etc/rc.conf. And yet after a period in time of idleness my monitor goes off. If anyone can help me understand or achieve my objective, i would be most grateful.

Re: Pango not found .....

Re: LDAP pam
Hi, Could someone confirm my understanding: 1) things like getent(1), getpwnam(3) use: /etc/nsswitch /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf 2) things like sshd, with pam_ldap use: /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf So if I have different filter in /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf and /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf I can have a different list of users that would apply to getent and sshd. The purpose is to have all the users listed in getent, but only some allowed to login into the machine.

The PCI-E is only x1, so not all that great for high-performance video, but burying it inside the box does seem like an unnecessary limitation. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Issue With 7.0-Rel -> 7.1-Rel Update
Hmmm. There's actually a certain appeal to installing v7.1 from scratch. RHEL has the option of creating SoftRAID mirrors at install time (and later, of course). Does the FreeBSD installer have that capability, as well? If so, no it doesn't. but nobody force you to use installer at all. Personally i don't use it ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Issue With 7.0-Rel -> 7.1-Rel Update
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or should I make a couple of backups (test them to confirm they're viable) and install v7.1 from scratch? Hmmm. There's actually a certain appeal to installing v7.1 from scratch. RHEL has the option of creating SoftRAID mirrors at install time (and later, of course). Does the FreeBSD installer have that capability, as well? If so, then I'll probably go that route even if there's a simple solution to the dilemma below; disk space has become so incredibly cheap that it's almost a mistake *not* to configure mirrors at this point. Either way, all pointers appreciated Thanks, Vince ** At 14:24 -0500 on 02/22/2009, Vince Sabio wrote: Hi folks, I am updating an AMD-based machine from v7.0-RELEASE to v7.1-RELEASE.

I'm good to go with the v7.1-R version, so I edit out the 'current' section, remove the 'diff' markers, ZZ, and that file is done. The updater then presents me with another file whose changes could not be merged automatically. So I go through the identical process. Wash, rinse, repeat, FOR [more than] FORTY MINUTES' worth of files. Each time, I kept thinking, "Okay, this has to be the last one..," but it wasn't. Even after 40 minutes, the process was not completed -- I just threw in the towel. For all I know, this process could have continued for all 21632 files -- version 11.5-RELEASE could have been out by the time I finished that process. So, first of all, what did I do wrong? Second, when I start the upgrade over again, what should I do differently? And, if all else fails: In each case of editing the files, the v7.1 version was fine. Is there any way to tell it, "I have good backups, and want to live dangerously, so Just Do It, and don't ask me if I want to edit anything..."? Much
