Teaming NIC
Hello, FreeBSD 6.3 has new device called lagg(4). Lagg is a link aggregation and link failover interface. With lagg we can easily bond two NIC interfaces together. But how we can do NIC teaming in FreeBSD 6.2? Please help.

GSM modems
Hello. I'm working on a project where we need to use GSM modems to be able to send and receive short messages; right now this is implemented through SMSTools. We are having a lot of problems like the modem hanging and stopping any communication with the computer, the modems suddenly saying the SIM card is bad or that the ISP network is refusing registration. Most of these are resolved by unplugging/replugging the modem. I was wondering: _ can (some of) these problems be FreeBSD related (e.g. USB driver issue, or something)? _ has anyone had any similar experience? _ can someone suggest a brand/model which works fine?

Giving advice like this on an international list is practically an exercise in futility, as there's pretty much a 100% chance that what you're saying is completely wrong in at least one country (and, yes, that goes for everything I say below too :-). However, in some places, public domain does indeed mean that there is no copyright on it. It is my understanding that in some countries it is difficult, if not impossible, to disclaim copyright, so you can't put your own works into the public domain. Public Domain license is conflating copyrights and licenses, which while they interact, are not at all the same thing. In fairness I will grant that this is a common usage, despite the fact that some of us deplore its imprecision. My suggestion to the OP: 1) Make sure your employer (if any) doesn't have rules on this that you wish to follow, 2) Pick a license that appeals to you, 3a) If the software isn't important enough or valuable enough that you see hiring a lawyer if somebody violates your license, you're done, as so long as the license expresses what you'd prefer people to do, it really doesn't matter much whether or not you theoretically could enforce it, 3b) If this is valuable software, see a lawyer *before* you publish the software, preferably one who understands intellectual property *and* the various licenses that are available for free software. Do NOT depend on free advice from amateurs such as myself. Frankly, unless you see this software as providing revenue, or being part of some grand product you're releasing in phases, your license is making a philosophical declaration that a fair percentage of honorable users will more or less honor. The costs of bringing legal action to actually enforce a license are probably completely out of line with the value of the network utilities that you want to share. -- --Jon Radel j...@radel.com smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

After configuring CUPS, including permissions for /dev/ulpt0, I could print; but the test page came out as garbage.

If you were employed by someone or some institution to do the work or the work was done during time paid by those entities, then they may have an interest. If that is not the case, then the next thing to determine is if any of it should be submitted to existing OSen or Utilities as patches - bug fixes or improvements. These two may not be a conflict as many businesses will have no problem with you submitting back fixes in software you are using in their behalf. eg, for example, if you are using FreeBSD to run a system for the business and write a patch for FreeBSD while on company time that helps that business operate better, they probably will have no problem with your submitting the patch for permanent inclusion in FreeBSD. As much as possible, then, submit PRs and include the diffs that cover the fixes or improvements. Finally, if you have complete clear ownership of some unique utilities, then include license terms in the source with a requirement that the license term be included in any subsequent distributions and then submit the utilitie as a port - if it is for FreeBSD.

I'm sure that most people won't have any interest in it, but I really want to ensure that what I have done is freely accessible. The term public domain has a very specific legal meaning and, unfortunately, that meaning can actually vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For instance, while France does have a public domain, you cannot release a work into the public domain -- you must use a specific license if you want to grant open access to that work. In most jurisdictions, public domain refers to a state where one has disclaimed copyright for something or otherwise given up all copyright claims on it. Note that copyright and credit are not the same thing, however. Attribution is ethically a matter of fraud, and most jurisdictions will legally treat it as a matter of fraud as well if something is misrepresented as being written by someone other than its actual author, though some jurisdictions add additional attribution protection through copyright. It is for reason of the fact that copyright law is much more widely supported across different jurisdictions (i.e., in different countries or legal systems) than any standardized understanding of public domain that most people with any understanding of the complexities will recommend using a license rather than the public domain, even if what you want is effectively the public domain. If that's your actual goal, select a license whose terms most closely approximate the public domain as you understand it, and let that be your legally binding statement of intent (for any jurisdiction that recognizes your copyright and your licensing privilege under copyright law). I'm happy to see someone wanting to make his code available to the world, by the way. Kudos to you. If there are no competing copyright claims on any of the work (such as an employment agreement that might interfere with your sole copyright claims), I absolutely encourage you to see through your intent to open the code up. Note, however, that I am not a lawyer in *any* jurisdiction, and the above should not be considered legal advice per se. Courts of law are notoriously fickle things that, for some reason, tend to be really bad at interpreting things the way the majority of humans believe they should be interpreted. Let the buyer beware, as they say. All of my code is pretty well separated into different files that contain different functions, so isolating portions of my programs that use modules or functions that are external is not a problem. GPL seems too verbose legally for me. Can the BSD license fit into any code, no matter what language it is in, and if so, can I have my code overlooked by someone who can verify that the BSD license will fit? Have you considered choosing a license that doesn't lock what you give to the world into the realm of code? While the terms of the BSD license for code in particular are great in my opinion, the fact that they specify software source code is not so great, because sticky ambiguities can arise when someone wants to include that code in a non-software context (such as writing an article or a book that makes use of the code, including it in music lyrics, showing it in a video production of some sort, and so on). My favorite license for all purposes at present is the Open Works License, and I actually use it to license all my emails to this mailing list: http://owl.apotheon.org While I'm at it, my favorite general licensing policy is copyfree. Where strong copyright protection is the default for many countries, notably the US and much of Europe, and copyleft is the Free Software Foundation's answer to copyright as a way of turning the purpose of copyright on its head, copyfree is kind of a rejection of both copyright and copyleft. Check out the canonical explanation: http://copyfree.org/policy/ Both the BSD license and the Open Works License are copyfree licenses, as are a number of other popular and widely used licenses.

Hopefully it will work well for me too. However, I am struggling

Here's what one of our guys is using on linux (I changed the

nismapname=auto_proj,dc=utdallas,dc=edu nfsvers=3 proto=tcp
/net-hosts
I haven't played with Linux's autofs and when I did my look at it was
shallow. From what you have here it looks like foobar.utdallas.edu is
a NFS v3 server that offers a pair of directory hierarchies. He's
mounting one of them on locally as /home and another as /proj. If you
want to do that in FreeBSD this should get you going.
*** /etc/amd/amd.conf ***
[ global ]
browsable_dirs =no
map_type = file
mount_type =nfs
search_path = /etc
auto_dir = /.amd
cache_duration =30
log_file = syslog:daemon
log_options = fatal,error
print_pid = yes
pid_file = /var/run/
amd.pid
restart_mounts =yes
selectors_in_defaults = no
[ /home ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
home.map
[ /proj ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
proj.map
*** /etc/amd/home.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/home/${key}
*** /etc/amd/proj.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/proj/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/proj/${key}
---
In the map files you'll need to make sure that the rfs entry matches
the directory tree that foobar.utdallas.edu is exporting. e.g. if you
would manually mount the directory under FreeBSD like this:
# mount_nfs -o tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/
pschmehl /home/pschmehl
or the fstab entry that you would use looks like this:
# foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/pschmehl /home/pschmehl nfs
noauto,tcp,intr 0 0
Then the rfs entry should look like this:
...;rfs:=/home/${key}
This setup assumes that you've exported the directory try with
FreeBSD's equivalent of the -alldirs option. This option allows you to
mount any point under the exported tree rather than forcing you to
mount the entire filesystem. A typical setup on FreeBSD would be to
export /home with --alldirs then an NFS client can mount /home/
cshilton or /home/jbauer or whatever.
Hope this helps

Sorry if I've got some minor bobbles in the syntax on the mount or
fstab lines.
So how do I tranlsate that into FreeBSD amd conf and map files?
It's got me stumped.

Please provide backtrace(or crashdump or textdump) `fetch http://www.fishercroft.plus.com/vmcore.1.gz' should get a crashdump from a non-debug kernel, see below. It's about 17mb I built a driver with the XP driver using ndisgen and the same source as my recent build world. I kldload the driver module which also loads ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko. I've got wlans_ndis0=wlan0 in rc.conf and I get ndis0 and wlan0 created when I plug in the card. The interrupt storm starts when I do # ifconfig wlan0 ip addr The panic occurs maybe a minute or two after the ifconfig. I got a panic but I couldn't get a crashdump with the GENERIC kernel (nothing relevant to dumpon or savecore happened at all, no boot messages, nothing in /var/crash). I did get a bunch of stuff on ttyv0, I can post a photo somewhere if required. Or is there a way to get the screen output in text format?

In the map files you'll need to make sure that the rfs entry matches
the directory tree that foobar.utdallas.edu is exporting. e.g. if you
would manually mount the directory under FreeBSD like this:
# mount_nfs -o tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/
pschmehl /home/pschmehl
I can mount my homedir this way:
# mount_nfs foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/003/p/pa/pauls /mnt/unix_home
I assume this means that this should work:
rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
And then I cd to /Home/pauls (there's a section in my amd.conf file named
[/Home] that has a corresponding map file amd.home which contains the syntax
for mapping the drive.
# cat /etc/amd.conf | grep -A3 Home
[/Home]
map_type=nfs
map_name=amd.home
mount_type =autofs
# cat /etc/amd.home
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3 \
rhost:olympus.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
* fs=${autodir}/${key}
But that fails with a directory does not exist error.
But I can already map my home drive manually. What I'm trying to figure out is
how to use our ldap server to mount my home drive so that when/if it gets moved
again (which happens occasionally) it will still mount and not break.
The Linux construction is:
ldap //rhost/nismapname=auto_home,ldap_base,nfsvers=3,proto=tcp. I can't for
the life of me figure out how to get from that syntax to the amd syntax. But
since I can't even automount my home using what I thought was the right syntax
for amd, I guess I need to figure that out first.

I use something like the script below to send me a popup message
whenever one of my boxes shuts down, planned or otherwise. It assumes
that if you can run cron jobs, you can be trusted to run something
as yourself at system shutdown.
For safety, nothing is run as root, and cron users can only run a
script called called '/home/./$username/rc.d/shutdown'. Add this
to /etc/rc.shutdown:
run-rc-shutdown | sh

Help creating bpf0 device (bpf won't do it for me)
Hello,
I'm in the final stages of setting up a new wireless connection but have
been having problems getting bpf running. For some reason, even though bpf
has been compiled into a new kernel, the system won't automatically create a
bpf0 device. On boot, the system complains pcap_open_live: (no devices
found) /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory.
The ultimate goal is to have this laptop connect wirelessly to my
WPA2-protected WAP (already working fine with other boxes) using a static
IP.
I've successfully compiled in support for the Atheros-based PCMCIA card,
edited rc.conf to exclude DHCP and to use wpa_supplicant.conf, and
eventually compiled in bpf when I started receiving the pcap_open_live
messages.
I suspect bpf is needed not for DHCP which is not running, but for some of
the parameters I added to wpa_supplicant.conf, which is as follows:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid=my_ssid
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
psk=my_ssid
}
If someone would be so kind as to explain what is calling bpf and how I can
create a bpf0 device by hand, I would be indebted.
Thanks...
