I'm still a bit confused why I have to do this though, because I can ping the non-shared IP 10.0.80.77 from the VPN client (via tap0) without any static arp, and I can ping the shared VIP (10.0.80.74) from clients on the physical network (em1) as well without any static arp. It's only when the ping it has to cross the bridge that it's an issue. Regards, Sebastiaan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
hello Well, after all that said, I would like to post my modest oppinion based in experience from the market.. 1) The people who use FreeBSD, or other OS, (the end user) will never install the OS, the person will turn on the machine and expects an graphical interface appears in the secreen. 2) the Interface should be as simple as possible, but powerfull enought to fullfill their needs, that is text, email, browsing, some banking, multimedia (this must be powerfulll...), chatting. some dvd authoriting, P2P. should access WIFI networks easy too 3) the computer (computer is the term used by the USER) should NEVER break, stop working That is: the computer (and the Operating system) should act as the TV set... (remember those old times when the TV set used to break???) you turn it on, and it works... 4) For those who install the OS in the computer, (some 1 in 10.000) people should make it fast and dirty I make an installer that install FBSD in 10 minutes with all the gnome, office, multimedia, with only one enter of the keyboard... using ZFS, the system never breaks, is ready to use in 20 seconds... FBSD is installed in more than 1000 machines running in gas stations... here... 5) A beautifull installer is good for the newspaper that publishes a review of the Operating system (they must publish something to sell to ...save their job..), Have you ever heard about a Leopard installer??? do you know someone who reinstalled Leopard?? 6) I also think that there must be an fast and dirty FBSD install. in the distribution a CD (or DVD) that you put in the machine, it asks where to install and a prompt choosing YES or NO... the installer formats the disk(partition), do a tar of the FBSD image, with an login of admin prompts for a password, and dumps the os image in the disk using journal or ZFS... (90% of the machines I installed FBSD have 1GB of memory, 80GB of HD and HDA sound, INTEL,ATI,VIA graphics board... only 4 brands of NIC). 7) I showed FBSD to an expert windows guy, and he think it is far more easy to install than the XP he was using besides, it is LEGAL!!!

The toggle does not toggle; pressing right_Alt switches to fr but another rtAlt press does nothing. And other Alt combinations don't do anything except freeze the kbd and xterm has to be closed and thereafter the fr is not accessible without a reboot or one must use fluxbox menu to switch the keyboard.

The port options are stored in /var/db/ports. You can delete the
options file for your package from that dir. There's also ways to
force the configuration of files using portupgrade/portmaster. For
portmaster, the command is portmaster --force-config. I don't know
about portupgrade.

You can add the line
xmessage*font: -*-fixed-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
to the file `~/.Xresources'. (I think that file is read at the start
of the X session, but to be certain you can add
xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xresources
to ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession, as the case may be. I personally keep
my Xresources elsewhere, and merge them as above.)

But I must admit, I'm still struggling to maintain my systems. For example, I believe that this libdrm dependency that I say cairo has is because cairo has two configurable options, Glitz and XCB. I have both selected. Some ports have config options but I can't find any doc that tells me what other ports might benefit from them. Perhaps no other ports can utilize cairo Glitz OpenGL support? I went to their web site and read their doc, but that doesn't yield FreeBSD specific info. I removed all ports, and /usr/local and /var/db/pkg, as suggested by Manolis. I updated my ports tree and make fetchindex, but many ports are failing and I have to go to their directory and make reinstall, sometimes I also have to make clean. I think this is caused by the fetched INDEX being slightly out of date with the tree. I think this wouldn't happen with portsdb -uU. I've started with no ports and added xorg and portupgrade. I'm now installing gnome2. I checked the installed packages with pkg_info and noticed that cairo is installed and I checked it;s dependencies and libdrm is there again.

Gnucash 2.2.7_2 after upgrade to Firefox 3.0.9
Is anyone else having issues wit Gnucash 2.2.7 crashing when you try to open an account after portupgrading Firefox in response to security audit reports from about a week ago? (that's the only change I can think of that seems to coincide with the change in behavior; and yes, I did look through UPDATING for known issues first...) Gnucash will launch just fine, but when I try to open an account it crashes. Running Gnucash in debug mode only reports that there was a segmentation fault and core was dumped. Looking through the Gnucash FAQ on the Gnucash site, I saw that there was an issue similar to this on Windows, and their recommended fix was to remove ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/gnome2, and ~/gnucash. Though these instructions were for windows, I tried moving those files to see if that made a difference, but it didn't. I also tried pkg_deleting gnucash and then portinstalling it again, as well as removing the ~/gnucash directory, or removing all the various .log files and .xac files from the ~/gnucash directory, but I continue to have the same behavior; gnucash will open, but trying to open an account in gnucash (either by clicking the Open button or by double clicking the account name) gets gnucash to dump core. I have also downloaded the source tarball for gnucash 2.2.9 from sourceforge, but encounter an issue running ./configure on that, as it is not finding gettext (which I appear to have installed at /usr/local/bin/gettext).

Ok, static arp works: that is, if I take the carp1 mac address and add it to the arp table using: arp -s 10.0.80.74 00:00:5e:00:01:02 pub The ping starts to work. I'm still a bit confused why I have to do this though, because I can ping the non-shared IP 10.0.80.77 from the VPN client (via tap0) without any static arp, and I can ping the shared VIP (10.0.80.74) from clients on the physical network (em1) as well without any static arp. It's only when the ping it has to cross the bridge that it's an issue. Does it make any difference if you set the IP address on the bridge0 iface and not on the physical one? I recall that the recommended setup is to use IP addresses on the bridge interface and leave the members of the bridge IPless.

Re: bsnmpd vs net-snmp
net-snmp has no problems providing 64-bit counters (interface and disk). You must build it with -DWITH_MFD_REWRITES (passes --with-mfd-rewrites to ./configure). I do not know why this is not the default. It works just fine. I also have a PR open to make this define a ports 'make config' option (therefore a persistent setting), but the maintainer has ignored this. This post caught my attention because I've had a 64 bit - 32 bit truncation error in my SNMP logs since I installed net-snmp on my AMD64 a year ago. I was unable to figure out how to add -DWITH_MFD_REWRITES to make so I ended up editing the Makefile and added --enable-mfd-rewrites (the compile told me --with-mfd-rewrites had been replace by --enable-mfd-rewrites). My error messages now seems to have disappeared so I'm extremely happy. I later found the following info in NEWS: Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD: - Experimental support for 64bit interface counters (ifXTable). Enable via '--with-mib-modules=if-mib --enable-mfd-rewrites'. So I have two questions: 1) Is --with-mib-modules=if-mib already covered in the Makefile? I can see the parameter but it refers to a variable I don't know the contents of. The variable seems to refer to the build option NET_SNMP_MIB_MODULES which is mentioned at the beginning of the compile process but I don't know how to use it or its initial value. 2) Is there anyway to enable these two options during make without editing the Makefile?

Then try configuring and installing from: /usr/ports/databases/postgresql83-server/ Let us know if you still have problems. Wow, you're right. That actually DOES build normally! :) Got files in the designated include dir, and it built a working pg_config. I should have looked better, instead of just picking the highest-version server. Still, makes you wonder, if the postgresql84-server port is so incredibly broken, why even include it? (Could also be it just purposely omits writing files in the include dir and making the pg_config, precisely because it's beta). From your first message, it looks like the 8.4 server itself runs fine. The 8.4 port is probably there for beta testing purposes since there are no FreeBSD binary packages on the PostgreSQL site. At any rate, it's all working now.

I'm still a bit confused why I have to do this though, because I can ping the non-shared IP 10.0.80.77 from the VPN client (via tap0) without any static arp, and I can ping the shared VIP (10.0.80.74) from clients on the physical network (em1) as well without any static arp. It's only when the ping it has to cross the bridge that it's an issue. Does it make any difference if you set the IP address on the bridge0 iface and not on the physical one? I recall that the recommended setup is to use IP addresses on the bridge interface and leave the members of the bridge IPless. Nikos Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but unfortunately the carp device never leaves the INIT state when I put the ip on the bridge. :-( I did find some similar problem here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=125816 Regards, Sebastiaan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Is it necessary to generate a new SSL request each year?

Thanks Hi Chuck, please tell us what exactly the output of mount is, mount (8) on FreeBSD 7.1 tells me that UFS is the default filesystem to mount. It just fails with an Invalid argument, so I think it's not able to recognize the OpenBSD FS. I can't do it the other way around, because I can't (yet) find the OpenBSD driver for my AMCC (3ware) 9650-4 controller (FreeBSD's twa driver). Otherwise, I'm curious if maybe OpenBSD count moount the FreeBSD FS.

how to install vmware-server on freebsd 7.1
Good day to everybody, I have a problem with installation vmware-server 2 for linux on my freebsd 7.1. i install it from rpm. before it, i installed linux_base_f9, load linux.ko, mount linprocfs. When i run sudo rpm -i --ignoreos --dbpath /lib/var/rpm --root /compat/linux vmware-server..rpm i get this: /bin/sh is needed to vmware-server..rpm, but there`s /bin/sh and /compat/linux/bin/sh.
