I'm not doing this on a regular basis, i'm using freebsd-update for updates and csup for version changes also.

GCHK price up more than 20%, Obama's stimulus package creates massive growth
Dear Subscribers, If you missed out on my last 1,000% gain, no worries, I may have another one coming RIGHT NOW! I have been writing to the investment community for the last ten years, during this time I have brought your attention to hundreds of companies and trades, most of them gave early investors a chance to profit at least 100% or more. I am a serious student of the market and have been looking at hundreds of companies the last few months, in hopes of bringing you the very best opportunities for you to make huge trading profits on my next few picks. Out of the hundreds of companies I reviewed, I am excited to tell you I have found 4 that I think will fit the bill. Only four, which is good because summer is coming, and I want to bring them all to you before. If I am right on these, it should give early investors a lot of extra cash for their family vacations! If you missed out on AXVC which almost gave early investors a quick 500% gain, then get ready for your moment of redemption because missing my next pick might make your knees buckle! Timing is Everything GCHK is too cheap to pass up! I believe, and so do others, that Greenchek Technology Inc GCHK could be at least 10 times undervalued right now and think readers should be picking this one up while it?s under $2.00 per share. ( Analyst Victor Sula, Ph. D. picked GCHK to go to $3.42 in his report back in Sept.) GCHK is a green company that developed a product that, if used everywhere, could significantly reduce Carbon emissions globally. This Company will bring back memories of huge gains that were made in recent years by making socially responsible investments in green companies that have unique products to offer the world. Time and Time again the Government has created Sector rallies in specific industries and we think GCHK could be next. When Governments and Investors are in synch the results can be staggering profits and all signs indicate that protecting the environment could become the next huge SECTOR bull market. One day, Environmental technologies will be commonplace, like other technologies that we now take for granted, so it stands to reason that it will follow a similar development pattern as other technologies, like computers. The field of computer science didn't even exist until the Department of Defense began pumping money into the unknown market of microchips. In fact, billionaire Larry Ellison's fortune and tech powerhouse Oracle all began with just a small contract from the Central Intelligence Agency. It's a deal that made Ellison and those folks who followed the government's lead, very rich. When Oracle started trading in 1986, it was a virtually unknown penny stock. Over the course of a few years Oracle's business boomed, thanks to the government, and it handed some early investors once in a lifetime gains of over 8,000%! Ellison ended up the No. 14 spot on Forbes' list of the wealthiest people in the world. In closing, I believe this company could rocket up the charts and give investors a reason to cheer again. GCHK will be the first of my four picks over the next few months and I hope my readers will take advantage of the trading profit potential of these next picks! I do not own shares in this company and will wait for this report to go out to you before I buy any! I plan to buy some in the open market, and hopefully will sell at much higher prices!

Hi Ruben Sorry to get cross with you but it has been clear from your responses that you have not actually troubled to read the detail of what I posted. The origibnal posting refrred to the issue as being one that came as a result of doing something similar to the OP for the thread. There was a second part (relating to getting the info on bsdpan into the DB. a. If you had read carefully you would have found that I have already tried: posting another thread b. I had already tried pkg_delete without success. c. I had tried package_deinstall again without success. d. I am totally puzzled why bsdpan-Pod_Perldoc should be showing a dependency on perl-5.8-9 when I have upgraded to 10. I will be very happy to get on with it when I know how to achieve that nirvana. In the meantime those who get try to get picky without reading a thread carefully do tend to offeset the work of so many people who are friendly and helpful Thanks in advance for positive contributions david ___ 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

I am following the instructions on this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pppoe.html I had initially thought it was a problem with the modem so I had a technician come in to take a look; when hooked up to his windows laptop: 1) He had to assign the interface the static address 2) no uname/pass were required.

Re: SATA Port Multipliers in FreeBSD (6.3)
Christopher Key wrote: I'm looking to substantially expand the storage on my FreeBSD 6.3 home media server. With regards hardware, the simplest way to attach large numbers of drives seem to be to use SATA port multipliers, but I've been unable to find any consensus on their level of support in FreeBSD. I'm currently looking at a RocketRAID 2314 and SiI3726 based port multipliers. Has any had any experience with this combination? Just a follow up to let anyone else considering a similar set up that I now have this combination working on 7.1p3 (I upgraded to take advantage of zfs, and haven't tested 6.3), although there are a couple of non-obvious problems: Firstly, in addition to the documented 'device hptrr', 'device scbus' and 'device da', a kernel with 'device pass' is also required in order to be able to see individual disks. Secondly, the card/driver will only expose disks to FreeBSD if it recognises them as 'legacy disks', i.e. they contain a MBR. Fortunately, zfs leaves the first 8k of each disk untouched, so I created a 'protective mbr' as per gpt partitioned disks. It has a single partition of type 0xed (unused, next to 0xee used for by GPT) running from lba1 to the last lba on the disk, and with CHS start and end of 1023/255/63. This clearly has to be done before connecting the drives to the controller, but is easily done with, e.g. a USB external enclosure.

Xorg/X11 driver Radeon: radeon vs. radeonhd, a mess!
On two boxes running FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 (both PCIe-basis) I utilise AMD/ATi RV770LE and RV730 based graphicsadapter. Both machines run the most recent FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and most recent X11 from ports (with all the subsequent packages). The box with the most powerful graphicsadapter is the lowest powerful box, equipted with a UP kernel, single core CPU, PCIe 1.1. The GPU is a RV770LE mounted on a MSI R4830T2D512, This box does only work properly with driver 'radeon', using driver 'radeonhd' results in a missing display adapter - means, driver connot find a valid graphics card. On my lab's box, a 4-core SMP box with a more modern P35 chipset I utilise a MSI R4760 graphics card, this uses a AMD/ATi RV730 chip as GPU. This box does only run with 'radeonhd' in a propper manner, using 'radeon' craches the box when shutting down/resetting (kill -1) Xorg (server) when rebooting or leaving windowmaker. Although 'radeonhd' works and 'radeon' not, using 'radeonhd' renders X unusable. Window movement is like a slideshow, firefox seems to sleep randomly, scrolling is a game for patient people. VESA driver is much faster than 'radeonhd' on this fast chipset! Well, xf86-video-radeonhd is at revision 1.2.5 and this one is, when believing what the Wiki says, under development and advisory of AMD itself. Why is it so bumpy and unwilling to recognize an RV770LE chipset? Does anyone has a hint or tip? It feels like a mess having two ATI drivers each one following different ways of development. What 'radeon' is capable of is missing in 'radeonhd' and vice versa.

Block device to regular file?
I'm trying to recover some deleted files from a UFS2 file system with the sleuthkit. Unfortunatly, most sleuthkit utilities expect regular image files and won't operate on block devices: phenom# fls /dev/ad4s1e Sector offset supplied is larger than disk image (maximum: 0) Of course, I could always dd(1) the block device into another file system, and analyze that: phenom# dd if=/dev/ad4s1e of=/mnt/ad4s1e.dd phenom# fls /mnt/ad4s1e.dd | more regular-output-of-fls but unfortunatly, the file system I'm trying to analyze is VERY large and I don't have enough disk space elsewhere to take an image. Now, is there an easy way to turn a block device into something that would behave like a regular file? Something like mdconfig -t vnode, but in reverse?

[OT] C programming question: reopen stdin
Hi all. I'm having a little trouble solving a specific problem in C. I want to write a filter which reads data from stdin. After reading the user should be able to interact with the program via stdin. This means I have to reopen stdin but I don't know how to do this. I tried to solve this using dup() and dup2() but without success. You can have a look at my first experiment here: http://gist.github.com/95320 I guess the code and the contained comments show what I'm trying to achieve. Although this is off-topic on this list I hope someone with more knowledge in C may steer me into the right direction. Sorry for the noise and thanks for reading.

make all-depends-list
Two things:
1) It surpresses config target and if a port has OPTIONS set, then you may get
surprised once you've configured the port and ticked/unticked an option
2) It includes EXTRACT_DEPENDS, PATCH_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS, which
typically don't end up in run dependencies. Looking at the subject this may
not be what you need.
make -C /usr/ports/category/portname -V LIB_DEPENDS -V RUN_DEPENDS
will list the dependencies that will be registered in /var/db/pkg. Recurse
through the list, take the second field split by : and run the above for each
origin. Something like the script below, which calls the config target if not
configured, remembers already visited dependencies and then prints the runtime
dependency list.

See md(4). Yep. but unfortunatly, the file system I'm trying to analyze is VERY large and I don't have enough disk space elsewhere to take an image. Well, fls and other sleuthkit programs support split images. Will it fit if you divide it into several smaller files? Good idea: that's one possible solution. I would strongly advice you *not* to experiment with the original disk, because this *may* lead you to more problems. very good advice IMHO. Correct. I'm VERY careful with the original disk. But that's not the issue here. The file system itself is over 470GB (it occuples the whole 500GB disk), and while I do have spare 500GB disks, the whole image won't fit into a filesystem: it will be slightly too big. Maybe it will fit if you play with the newfs parameters of the new disk? Shrinking the reserved space, enlarging the block and fragment size and reducing the number of inodes, that kind of thing. If the file won't fit (still copying), I'll hook up a couple of 500GB disks to the box, and will try to newfs a bigger file system across all of them via gconcat(8). I haven't tried it before, but I hope it will work.

The email client will then look on the receivers machine for the image. There are two ways to do what you are trying to do. One is to send just a link to the images. For example: use $myimage1= www.example.com/images/image1.jpg this of course assumes that you have the images hosted somewhere that the mail client can find them. The other option involves including the images as attachments. The easiest way imo to do this is with the PHP Mime Mail class. http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5.html PHP 4 version is also available if that's what you need.

it was my pfsense firewall. it took more than 8 hours, an M.E.
buddy retired from Boeing coming over, three fruitless phone
calls, then my just-pondering a good 20 minutes. finally, i
power-cycled the firewall, and on reboot, fsck cleared
out a bunch of mismatches and other disc garbage. upon full reboot,
i was back in contact with the rest of the world.
the firewall still isn't working completely, but i doubt it is
very serious. no worms ... [?] i just can't ping my local IP's.
both my main server and firewall are running on extremely old
hardware. hp kayaks that i was given years ago and upgraded.
disks, memory, probably one-new-fan. still, they are fast
approaching their end/live. this brings up some questions that
i have been meaning to ask this list for several weeks.
until my wife interrupted my dreams with: you've got to get up
and fix your system; i can't get on my laptop., i was going to do
the usual and postpone this for another few days [/weeks/months].
anyway, i was ++stumped. i rebooted everything, Et Cetera.
nutshell, around 16.40 i collapsed on sofa, then decided that
this has to be D-day; i.e.:: decision-day. or maybe Q-Day,
time to ask the list for advice.
I have four (4) tower cases here, and between 3 laptop
computers, not all in continuous use.in short,
it is time, or Past-Time, to cut my energy use here.
First: i will always stick with FreeBSD as my primary server.
no matter what i wind up using as toys, {music, videos, [...]}
i'll pony up for at least two new computers. one to do my
DNS,mail, and web [and firewall??], and
Second, one to replace this desktop, which has hosted FBSD since
version 2.0.5. I know where stuff lives ... and so on.
Do i really need something as beefy as a pfsense standalone?
is there a way i can run it in a jail? before my dec., '06
network meltdown i was using ifp quite well on ns1.thought.org.
After a few weeks of help from jon horne, i had a new/used Dell
plus the firewall. My former server was stripped down a
bit.
i got highspeed DSL from Qwest, our telco, a year ago. jon
talked the installed thru how things fit. i had no clue then,
nor now. the firewall has two NIC's; the Qwest router is part
of my network. from the firewall, the cable goes into my
16-port switch. the server also plugs into the switch. that
is about the limit of my understanding right now.
if i've made any sense so far, great! if not,i'm open for
questions. i'm also open for suggestions on how to alter this
network configuration.
thanks for reading this far.

It might be simplest to replace my firewall and my server with
low-energy-usage i386 computers; is there a better way?

Problems with SSH and Subversion over SSH/HTTPS
Hello, all. I'm having a couple of problems that I can't get to the bottom of. I'm using a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2 server running on AMD64, serving ssh and https, with various Mac OS X and Windows clients. I have recently come to wonder if these problems (described below) are related to SSL somehow, or perhaps /dev/random. If there's any tuning I could do along those lines, or if anyone has any other tips at all that could improve this situation, I'd very much love to hear them. 1) Paging through a lot of text over SSH is very slow. If I compile a large program, or cat a large text file, or even use less to page through 8-10 pages of text, ssh becomes very slow. Sometimes I can wait it out, and let it catch up after a half minute or so, but sometimes I just have to kill ssh and reconnect. This is notable to me because when I was running other operating systems on the same box (Solaris 10 and Linux, at various points in the past), which I could of course make my connection fail if I ran pathological tests, the difference was like night and day. Now, if I cat a file which turns out to be bigger than I expect, typing ^C several times - even if I do so just a couple of seconds after I start the cat - tends to cancel the cat only rarely... the buffer is so far behind that it can't process my input until it catches up, which it can't do and I have to end up killing the connection. This is much different than my experience with other operating systems. This happens when I'm using OpenSSH 5.1p1 on my Mac, and when I'm using any of several recent versions of PuTTY on the various Windows machines. Oddly, I can get decent speed when copying large files over sftp or scp - I haven't done any benchmarks, but it's in line with normal network speed for a 100mbps network. 2) SVN over both svn+ssh:// and https:// is also very slow The repository in question is only three revisions old, and the whole repo is less than 200K. All of the files are plain text. If I check this repo out, via either svn+ssh, or https, using the command line client installed on my Mac (which happens to be... Subversion 1.5.1), it takes two or three minutes over a perfectly fast Internet connection. If I use TortoiseSVN on a Windows machine, it takes so long that TSVN times out and says it can't complete the transaction. (Using a command-line SVN client on Windows seems to produce similar results to the command line client on my Mac). If I type in the https:// URL for the subversion repository in a web browser, and click on individual text files, it displays them much more slowly (taking several seconds for a file only a few KB large) than I would expect as well. I have tried this with Subversion version 1.5.1 and 1.6.0, compiled from ports, on the FreeBSD server, with no change. When this is happening, load remains at near 0.00 on the FreeBSD server. The network connection is plenty fast, as previously mentioned, and the behavior is the same whether I'm connecting over the Internet (the FreeBSD box has a 16mbps/2mbps link) or the 100mbps local LAN. For the record: I *have* compiled my own kernel, but its configuration differs only from the GENERIC kernel in my appending of the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options GEOM_MIRROR If necessary, I can test with the GENERIC kernel again. I have not changed the kern.random parameters, but here they are for the sake of completeness. They are in line with the defaults, at least as far as i can tell from random(4). # sysctl kern.random kern.random.yarrow.gengateinterval: 10 kern.random.yarrow.bins: 10 kern.random.yarrow.fastthresh: 192 kern.random.yarrow.slowthresh: 256 kern.random.yarrow.slowoverthresh: 2 kern.random.sys.seeded: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.ethernet: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.point_to_point: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.interrupt: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.swi: 0 I very much thank anyone for any help they can provide. - Micah ___ 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

I took a guess at the existence of BUILD_DEPENDS and added it into the script.

Re: What flash players should be used from ports?
You have three viable choices, I'd recommend the third: 1. ports/graphics/gnash or gnash-devel (high CPU utilization on FreeBSD) 2. ports/www/swfdec-plugin [ ports/graphics/swfdec itself is a standalone flash player, the plugin port installs a plugin for firefox usage. 0.8.4 is the latest version for the standalone player(which, according to the official swfdec site, can play youtube video just fine). However, the plugin port of swfdec is still at version 0.8.2 and does not work with youtube videos at the moment.] 3. ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 + ports/www/linux-flashplugin9 + ports/www/nspluginwrapper (this method is the most complex, but usually yields the fastest-responding flash and best results, at the moment.)

Re: from very early this morning...
Hi Gary, Just a couple of thoughts, as your setup sounds similar to mine (and a lot of others' I'm sure) - I too recently decided to make a concerted effort to reduce power consumption. I just re-did my file server with FreeNAS and even though I've got tons of hardware laying around I decided to buy the Intel 945GCLF mini-itx board based on the Atom processor, like you find in most netbooks. I put a gigabit NIC in it though as the onboard is 10/100 (but I knew that and already had the NIC). It's running great so far. I'd like to replace my pfSense router/firewall, which is currently powered by an AMD Duron with another mini-itx board that I've had forever, it's one of the Via C3 500 Mhz based boards. It's only got one PCI slot though, which gets me back to the topic at hand. I just changed my network topology when I stood up the new file server. It's now: |-- Wired LAN ADSL Modem -- pfSense | |-- WAP -- WLAN | |-- DMZ (web server) Forgive my artwork. I have my ADSL modem set to bridged ethernet mode which disables all the router/firewall/dhcp features of the modem and just turns it into a media/protocol converter between the phone line and the ethernet cable going to the pfSense box. I use the onboard 10/100 NIC for that PPPoE connection. I've got three more NICs installed to make up the remaining connections. The wired LAN and the WLAN interfaces are bridged. I initially had these as separate networks but most of my media players are wireless and the file server is on the wired side so bridging it was the easiest way (for me!) to get the broadcasts through. The web server is connected directly to the third NIC at the moment and is it's own network. It's still behind the firewall but I can open ports now to it while still protecting the rest of the LAN from the web server if it get's compromised. At least, that's the theory. So that's my setup, don't know if that's the kind of feedback you're looking for but I'd like to hear comments and see what others have going.

Could a failing power supply cause this type of issues? Absolutely. Seconded. Power supply issues have caused me this kind of grief more times than memory has over the years. Yes, me too. With the advent of the digital age there is less and less cognizance of analog electronics these days. Simply checking the output voltages with a Radio Shack VOM will make things seem to be OK, as in the measurements seem to be within the range you'd expect, but this is not an entirely accurate assessment. It can be the case where a power supply has aged to the point that it can support only some fraction of the load it was rated at when new. As long as the load stays below this derated value the box seems all right, but plug in another drive or some other hardware that pushes it over the edge and you get another story. What you will get is non-pure DC with huge amounts of unfiltered ripple. The VOM will not show this. You would have to be using an oscilloscope to see it. But even an old power supply that is not loaded down to the point of total failure can begin to show out of spec ripple measurement as load increases. This ripple can be the source of seemingly intermittent hardware problems such as hangs, mysterious automagic rebooting, lock ups, etc, that seem to have no rhyme or reason to them. Many times in the distant past I replaced one by one each subsystem with known good ones to the point where the power supply was the last thing I tried. These days if it is an older box with a lot of hours of MTBF on it I do it first, using a known good. Probably 70%+ of the time it has turned out to save lots of time. Rather than try every thing else first I have learned to eliminate the power supply first, rather than the other way around. But I also have a 100MHz dual trace 'scope too. -Mike ___ 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
