To install the nvidia-driver port a kernel module named nvidia.ko is 
compiled. This module requires linux.ko to be loaded first. The reason is 
the nvidia-driver itself is a linux binary blob, and consequently must 
utilize the linuxolator to run. Very simple concept. 

The OpenGL support is part of the install. It is not related to any so 
called 'optional support for Linux binaries'. Ask yourself this: when you 
run glxgears is glxgears a linux binary or was it compiled as a FreeBSD 
binary?

For example, you will see much improved performance in KDE with the nvidia-
driver installed. When you compiled and installed KDE it built FreeBSD 
binaries, not Linux ones. Enabling the use of the 3D hardware acceleration 
engineered into modern graphics cards works for things other than just linux 
binaries and/or OpenGL. 

But since the nvidia-driver is itself a Linux binary blob pre-compiled by 
Nvidia, you must have linuxolator support to use it. That does not mean that 
only Linux (e.g. - non FreeBSD) binaries will be able to take advantage.

General and specific make questions

[Lars Eighner]

What I need most is to find (a) make tutorial(s) that do not suppose make is
being used for compling c/c++ programs.  Yes, I know, that is mostly why
make exists, but many tutorials plunge right into C examples with implicit C
rules, while -- it seems to me -- make could be much more useful for a
variety of things, and I could sure use more of the general and arbitrary
examples.

Second, it appears to me that the pmake document in the books section of the
documentation is not longer in sync with make as actually installed in
FreeBSD 7.x.  In particular, the pmake doc refers to switches which make no
longer recognizes and which do not have clear replacements in man make.

Now for my particular question.

I have some sources which may or may not exist.  My target should be rebuilt
if a source exists that is younger than the target.  But sources that do
not exist should be ignored and make should not be perplexed over how to
create them.  How do I express that kind of relationship?

I think that's misleading, AFAIK it's more a case that it can optionally
support OpenGL for Linux binaries, in which case it acquires some Linux

Re: Samba3 domain controller howto?

[Tim Judd]

yes, you are mis-understanding

samba itself is a NT4-type domain.

samba can use authentication backends that include passwd files, LDAP
and kerberos.  Active directory is a requirement to use LDAP, whereas
samba is offering it as a auth backend only.

fine line, I know.

IOW, whereas Active Directory - as a technology:
  Uses kerberos for authorization
  Uses LDAP for a storage backend for Kerberos
  Uses u...@domain logins (thanks to Kerberos),
  Uses other techs not related to this thread

NT4-style domains - as a technology:
  Not using Kerberos
  Not using LDAP storage

Samba allows it's authorization backend to offer more possibilities
than NT4's own methods.  Such as passwd files, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.


It's technology vs technology, not product vs product.

I just saw this post and need a link to the thread and a definition of

The port number varies depending on which USB jack I have the cable

In my experience, the people who remain in such positions for more than a
couple years and don't quit or get moved/promoted somewhere else tend to
turn into BOFH-types who have a sense of entitlement, enjoy making
others' lives difficult, and epitomize the very worst qualities of common
tech support personnel.  They basically turn into (or were, from the
beginning) people that should just get an ass-kicking about daily.

There are exceptions, of course, but they're few and far between, from
what I've seen.

God, I *wish* I could find ISP tech support people who were knowledgeable
enough to do something like that -- then maybe when I have a connectivity
problem we'd actually be able to sort the problem out in one call,
instead of the tech support people I talk to being hampered by both lack
of knowledge and bureaucratic shackles so that nothing's going to get
fixed for at least three hours.

My at one point ISP actually had (I don't know if this is still the case)
a special telephone number to call for some stupid automated connectivity
test to be run, and when I called once to try to get troubleshooting for
my connection I was told to hang up, call that number, follow directions,
then call back with the case number it gave me if there was actually a
connectivity problem.  Seriously, this is what it has come to -- nobody
knows how to use ping or traceroute any longer, apparently.  This is
especially problematic when the problem I was having wasn't a complete
outage, but *intermittent* service failure, so the damned thing didn't
even detect a connection problem because there wasn't one at that exact
moment.

Anyway . . . my point is that I'd love to deal with tech support that
knows what a Linux distribution LiveCD is, rather than tech support that
doesn't know what ping and traceroute are.  I get the feeling modern
public corporation ISPs actually *want* their tech support personnel to
be ignorant morons so they can avoid having to fix problems, simply
snowing users in with stupidity long enough to see if the problem "goes
away" (even if only by the customer going away in annoyance).  Clearly,
individual customers aren't important to ISP management these days.

Use a better registrar than GoDaddy.  Price isn't everything, and GoDaddy
will as soon screw you over as look at you.

When searching for registrars to use, the first thing I do is look for
registrars that have donated domain registration and/or hosting services
to open source projects, because that always says something nice about
their level of customer service and knowledgeability.  The second thing I
look for is their conflict resolution policy, because I never want to be
in the position of having my service halted on someone else's say-so for
something that isn't my fault without anyone letting me know there's a
problem in time to fix it before service is cut off -- and I *definitely*
don't want to pay a severeal-hundred-dollar ransom to get my domain name
back (a favorite dirty trick of GoDaddy's).

Price is somewhere down around concern five or six when I'm choosing a
domain name registrar.

burncd

[Chuck Bacon]

I have used burncd to burn both audio and data CDs, the latter almost
always a FreeBSD d{oc,isc{1,2,3}} ; but I was stopped for quite a
while when trying to burn the recent 7.2-RELEASE DVD iso.  After losing
three DVD+R blanks to mistakes, I bought a DVD-R pack, and found I
could burn a DVD using burncd.  HOWEVER, it failed during fixate.
I could boot from it, but the new OS said it couldn't mount root!
Later attempts to mount the DVD from previous 7.1 also failed.

Is there a better tool than burncd?  I resorted to using disc1, which
worked as always, and then copying the packages collection from 
the mounted DVD ISO (note the ISO could be mounted, but not the DVD)

before sysinstall could drive me crazy with its disc{1,2,3} swapping
insanity.

BTW I have a DSL connection, 768bps, 89.5Bps on a good day.  From
ftp10.freebsd.org it took me about 5 hours to get the DVD, plus another
2+ hours for disc1.  Beh.

Sorry if I'm dissembling.  Just that 7.2 has been more headache than
previous distros like 7.1, 7.0, 6.3 etc.  Mebbe I'll mention some of
the problems - like What is HAL, essential to getting X up?  Solved,
BTW, but no help during sysinstall.

Thanks for FreeBSD!  I've used it as a retired sysadmin since 386BSD.

I created a directory dynamic/ with owner bind:bind for dynamically

for the dynamic dns and static dns. For example I have for dynamic dns

dynamic/1-16-172-dyn.example.com
dynamic/1.16.172.in-addr.arpa

and for static dns

master/example.com
master/0.16.172.in-addr.arpa

You must create empty zone files for the dynamic dns zones just
including the SOA record.

If this doesn't help, post the log entry from your messages, and try
also running named in foreground to see what happens.

Re: issue with dhcp and dns

I've had a BIND/DHCP dynamic dns solution, but it was very frustrating
to get it all working together.  Security/ACL/various DHCP clients not
requesting a DNS update, blah blah blah.


If you've never used dnsmasq, look it up.  It simplifies the DHCP, DNS
and dynamic DNS functioning down to a simple file.  If a client
doesn't update, you may need to tweak the dhcp client config file is
all.  recent windows (since 98 or so) always request it.  I've had to
tweak many others.


Good luck.

Install the nvidia driver if your install is i386 and not 64 bit. The nvidia 
driver doesn't work yet for 64 bit installs. The main reason to really want 
the nvidia driver is for desktop software such as KDE or Gnome. My 
experience with KDE is I wouldn't want to run it without the nvidia driver.

You can install the nv driver as well. The two don't really interact with 
one another. You may install the nv first if you wish, then work on getting 
Xorg going, as this sometimes entails manually editing xorg.conf the hard 
way. I know Xorg is supposedly "automagic" these days, but for some reason 
or another I always seem to end up editing xorg.conf myself to get it to do 
what I want.

The nv can easily be installed along with Xorg. The nvidia driver is more 
complex as it relies on the linuxolator to function, so there is a larger 
number of dependencies. But when it comes time to change from nv to nvidia 
it is just a line or two in the xorg.conf.

Sometimes with laptop built-in chips it can be difficult to get things going 
because of a non-standard resolution requiring a non-standard modeline. In 
such situations the nv xorg driver will probably be easier to get going. The 
ultimate fallback is VESA mode, but nobody wants that if it can be avoided.

As to which of the ports you need - the regular nvidia-driver and not either 
of the 'legacy' versions should probably be used as per:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/180.60/README/appendix-e.html

Bottom line is you can start with the nv first and change up to the nvidia-
driver later. The two are not mutually exclusive, meaning even though you 
only utilize one, or the other, they can both coexist on the same system 
without difficulty.

Which nVidea driver to install

[Carmel]

I have an nVidia Geforce 6150LE chip on the motherboard. Should I
install the x11/nvidia-driver or the NV driver in
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers? Would it cause a conflict if I tried to
install both and do I even need both of them?

tHanks for your perl script.  What I should have added was that I was
looking for a better way in C.  It needs to fit into my ascii-to-markup
program.  The function to scotch ,  is more than a few 
lines
because of error-checking.  

In addition to a C function that would skip BEGIN and END delimiters, 
like
the one I cobbled together, is one possible with *any* fixed 
delimiters--
say, 3- or 4- to some reasonable N- characters?

My hunch is NO. Or at least nothing very simply for some small N, >= 7.
(I'm thinking of the java code blurbs that end in something like "//>"

For the php case, I could have used the "<" and ">" delimiters, but
thought better of it.

issue with dhcp and dns

[Dave]

Hello,
I'm trying to get dhcp and dns going ddns on FreeBSD 7.2. In my
dhcpd.leases file i see the forward and reverse information given on the
lease. A host fqdn and a host IP address both return correct dns information
on this host. My issue is if i check the forward and reverse zone files i do
not see records for the new host. I do see two .jnl files. In
/var/log/messages i do see the error about the working directory not being
writable, other than that that is it, named indicates it is running. I'm
wondering if it takes a while to update the records?
Thanks.

Hmm.. I guess you are correct. The question is why is it doing this ?

And on both drives ?


Feels to me a problem for the developers. HDD's didn't give me one problem
since the day the got installed. I'm not saing that they are very good HDD's
(in fact they are quite cheap ones) but fail all of a sudden ? And leaving
this asside, they dnt give one error on masive transfers and still have very
good transfer speed. What I'm saing is that hdd failure could be a
posibility of course, but a unlikely one at this point.

My problem is that I do not know what tehnik TSM server uses for creating
those files because at some point it fails. Strainge thing is that it goes
over 1G. First it creates the file and then it populates the file up until
the given limit (25G in this case).

I will try something tomorow. I will again start the tsm server to add the
space (the 25G free space) to the pool and will monitor the file size up
until the OS crashes. I'm very curious what's the size of the file when the
OS crashes.

that's why i'm asking. To do it that way in port system, because Xorg 
started to follow "linux way" and "kde/gnome way" i.e.


- adding hald as a "requirement" by default
- disabling CTRL-ALT-backspace by default - of course user should not 
leave X session, it's forbidden ;)


it's not funny, because while i don't use all these KDE/gnome things, i do 
need X.


Actually X11 isn't quite unix philosophy, it should be graphics support in 
console driver, but it's not possible to do it now with so many gfx cards.



I wonder how long it will take that we will have to build our own 
computer to be able to run unix normally. Maybe someone will do, using off 
the shelf CPUs, and quite simple gfx controller.
Actually not many unix users do need all these 3D functions. most just 
need framebuffer with 2D acceleration.

dns/dnsmasq for DHCP and DNS (will provide dynamic DNS)
samba for windows networking shares.  Samba is still only a NT4-type
DC, no Active Directory type of function (Group Policies, u...@domain
logins, kerberos, ldap, etc)

Samba's own password db is quite advanced, but samba itself is still a
NT4-type of function.

Such things should be understood, more or less.  I didn't want to confuse the
issue with extra options.  But you are correct.  These options will greatly
speed up the process for dd.

IBM TSM server

[claudiu vasadi]

Hello again.

About a week ago I cryed on your shoulders but since no one is answering I
am crying again. This time with more accurate data.

My sistem is a P4 2.66 Mhz (sk 478) Intel P4 processor  with 1 GB DDR1 ram,
mobo Asus p4p800-x with 2 HDD's. One of them (ad2 ) is a Samsing SpinPoint
of 80GB ATA and is the one used by the actual OS. The second one (ad6) is a
WD 250 GB S-ATA2 and has some data on it. The server acts as a web server,
ftp server, NAS, samba svr, a p2p server (verlihub) and just about every
normal app a mental deranged person can have running :P (those kind that dnt
have money to buy the ultra ultimate bullshit in hardware or more than two 2
pc's. Leaving this asside here is my situation.

Ups, almost forgot. I have a FreeBSD-7.0-STABLE.

I have a Windows machine with vmware and solaris on it. In solaris there is
a IBM TSM (Tape Storage Management) Server. The server can use disks over
tapes to build pools. So I added the local windows disks, and have some 30 G
of free space on freebsd, so I thought, I would add them to the storage
pool. There's my mistake ... thinking :P

Every time I try to add that space to the storage pool the system crashes
with a kernel panic.

Here is the /var/log/messages file

Jun  7 21:03:45 da1 fsck: /dev/ad6s1d: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=5652481 (0
should be 4) (CORRECTED)

Jun  7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: Uptime: 21m50s
Jun  7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: Physical memory: 1011 MB


So I'm guesing the script that adds the space to the pool is doing some
crap.

I tryed using both HDD's but the result is the same -> sistem crash. I have
no kernel dump file defined yet (dnt ask why, I've setted up long ago but
for some reason this time it didn't write to it)
.

REPRODUCE: The only way to reproduce the problem is by telling tsm server to
add the available 30G off free space.

What the tsm server doesm, is it creates a file of a given size, in this
case 25G out of the total of 30G, and then populates the file with whatever
data it is given as backup data.

I really have no ideea if this is the right mailing list for this matter. If
it is not, please advise in this matter.

 When Xorg was upgraded to version 7.4, the historic ability to shut
 down X
 with Control+Alt+Backspace became a non-default option.  The solution to
 re-enabling this behavior was to add
Option "DontZap" "off"
 to the ServerLayout or ServerFlags section of xorg.conf as documented in

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

 A few days ago, x11/xkeyboard-config was upgraded to 1.6 and the
 solution
 in the Handbook is no longer sufficient.

 The new solution that gets Control+Alt+Backspace working for me
 again is to add
Option  "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
 to the "InputDevice" section of xorg.conf.

This gets even more complicated - the setting in xorg.conf will only be

setting has to be moved to an XML file like this:

Oh, okay.  I'm not running HAL and I do have "AllowEmptyInput" and
"AutoAddDevices" off, so just modifying the xorg.conf was enough
for me.
So far I've avoided HAL because it seems complicated and scary,
and I don't know what the benefits of using it would be aside
from some automounting tricks that I can live without.  It does seem
to be the wave of the future however, so any documentation that might
help ease me into that transition would be appreciated.

I believe that the "badblocks" util is what you're looking for.  It can
be found in the sysutils/e2fsprogs port.  It has both destructive and
non-destructive modes.  I've used it on Linux and FreeBSD, and it can
really exercise the disk well.

I've seen several mentions of "dd" in this thread, and I'll say that I've
seen several recommendations elsewhere to use a simple:

dd if=/dev/ of=/dev/

to "refresh" the drive.  That is, dd will read the block(s), then attempt to
write them back, and if there are problems, the drive should re-map the sector
to one without problems.  Though the dd_rescue/ddrescue/dd-rescue ports are
more tolerant of errors than the stock dd util.

Personally, I'd recommend badblocks before trying anything else.

The samba howto's on the samba website cover this very well, the only step I 
can think of that is a bit diff on freebsd, is adding the $ to the machine 
account but it's stated on the website.
Dhcp is covered in the handbook on the freebsd website.

This gets even more complicated - the setting in xorg.conf will only be
effective when "AutoAddDevices" is false (or "AllowEmptyInput" is
false).  On systems that totally rely on HAL for device detection, the
setting has to be moved to an XML file like this:


 
   
 
   kbd
   pc105
   us
   xorg
   terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
 
   
 

which should be named i.e. keyboard.fdi and placed in
/usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy

In light of the above, I feel we probably need to add a section on
"Configuring Additional Options Using HAL" to the Handbook.

you may "cure" badblocks by

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk bs=1m

(but cleaning all data)

Disk will try to remap badblocks then.

But remember that it only make it's life a bit longer. this disk will 
fail again.

That's shell dependent. You can change an xterm's title
by printing a specific character sequence. For example:

printf '\033]0;%s\007' 'The title goes here'

Then you have to alter the string - to include your working

Hello list,

Can anyone please recommend to me a program that will stress-test a
disk? If it matters, two are connected by firewire, another via usb.
Filesystem is ufs. I think I have a disk that might be about to fail,
but it only sometimes errors when under stress. I need to see if it


if it's about to fail then simply read it

dd if=/dev/disk of=/dev/null bs=1m


if it will not - disk is most probably OK.

Samba3 domain controller howto?

[Dave]

Hello,
I've found a lot of this for LInux, but am looking for something
FreeBSD specific. I'm wanting to set up a FreeBSD 7.2 machine, samba3,
dynamic dhcp and dns, to act as a domain controller. Has anyone done this
and do you have some notes or a howto?
Thanks.
Dave.

Re: please recommend a disk-exercising program?

[Michael David Crawford]

Check the downloads section at the disk manufacturer's website.  All the 
disk vendors have utilities that can test their disks.


Generally these utilities can use proprietary commands to exercise 
self-test functions that generally aren't accessible to non-proprietary 
test code.


Most of the utilities are DOS boot disk images.  You make either a 
floppy or a CD from them, then boot off of it.

The best one I know of is SpinRite . I have actually
used it to rebuild disks that I was told by professional technicians
were beyond hope. Of course, it is not free, so you might not be
interested.

One feature I like about it is that it creates its own start-up disk. It
is totally system independent.

Ah, I thought you wanted to stress test the throughput to get errors.

In that case, have a look at sysutils/smartmontools in ports.

You can use dd(1) to stress test disk I/O.  Something like this should work:

dvd burning command growisofs fails

[Yuri]

Command:
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=dvd.iso
that used to work no fails.
The difference is newer motherboard/cpu and updated ports.

Here are logs:
