Re: How can I rescue my passwd file after corrupting it (and why does it still work) ?

There's a backup copy of master.passwd, groups and aliases stored in /var/backups every time any of those files are changed -- the backups are created by the overnight periodic cron jobs, so you should be able to restore yesterday's status quo. Otherwise, you can sort of reconstruct the missing entries from yor master.passwd file by using pw(8) -- eg: % pw user show -n matthew matthew:*:1001:1001::0:0:Matthew Seaman:/home/matthew:/bin/tcsh prints out the master.passwd entry for the user account but *without* the password crypt-text.

I using a nvidia fx5500 with the latest driver 173.14.22 on i386 and it works perfect. And it was no pain to get 3d working for games. I am still wondering what this thread is actually about: is it about hardware accelerated video or about offloading general computation to the GPU ( CUDA et al. ). the latter. My question was about HPC application of GPUs. Use of GPGPUs for HPC under linux is growing very fast, with cuda and opencl. However, I doubt any GPUs will be supported on fbsd. At least not at this stage. Unless somebody knows better? Many, many GPUs, including most GPGPUs, are supported under both FreeBSD and X.org. CUDA on nVidia GPGPUs and Streams/Brook on ATi GPGPUs are not currently supported under FreeBSD. An engineering professor friend of mine has one of nVidia's Tesla cards and full CUDA support under Windows XP. He says that the same driver works for both the Tesla and his CUDA-enabled nVidia graphics card, as well as the nVidia IGP in his laptop's motherboard. Somewhere on the web--possibly on nVidia's web site, but I don't remember anymore--we found something that seemed to say that the LINUX version of the driver *also* contains the CUDA support for nVidia GPGPUs. If the FreeBSD driver is substantially a port of the LINUX driver, then it's quite likely that the CUDA support is/will be still in it. Another hassle, according to my friend, is that the CUDA support under Windows uses only the Intel C compiler. :-( What is definitely not available at present for FreeBSD is the rest of the CUDA support, namely, a CUDA compiler, a C compiler with hooks for CUDA, and any associated libraries. I have not so far seen any comparable information regarding Streams driver support on ATi GPGPUs for FreeBSD, much less anything about Brook for FreeBSD. The last time I checked, which was a few months ago, there were *no* implementations of OpenCL. My understanding is that there is now some sort of standard for it that has been agreed upon by all parties involved, but that there remains no published language definition/reference from which compilers, etc. might be written for the GPGPUs of both of the major GPU manufacturers. So if you're waiting for OpenCL for FreeBSD, don't hold your breath, stand on narrow ledges far above ground, and so forth while waiting. Scott Bennett, Comm.

Possible workaround for 'BTX halted' error
Hi, I have an old 200 MHz Pentium Pro. A slow machine by today's standards but my intention was to put a minimal installation of FreeBSD 7.2 on it (ultimately installing to a CF or SD memory card using an IDE adapter), turning it into a very basic home office firewall and not much else. One of the problems I encountered (which I've also encountered on other old PCs) was the dreaded BTX halted error when attempting to boot from the FreeBSD install CD: AMIBIOS (C)1992 American Megatrends, Inc. (C) 1992 - 1998 Intel Corporation.

Ctrl+Alt+Del won't reset it. I've seen the same bug crop up occasionally for more than a few years now (since FreeBSD 5.x, I think). Presumably there's no urgency to fix it. Until now the workaround I used was to boot from floppy diskettes (all five of them) made from the images in the \floppies directory on the install CD. The FreeBSD installer would then operate normally and install from the CD. But this is frustrating as diskettes are obviously terribly slow and often unreliable. Today by accident I found a much simpler workaround. There's a freeware program called PLoP Boot Manager that can be used to boot from CD. I burnt plpbtinnoemul.iso (from plpbt-5.0.4.zip) to CD on another PC then got the Pentium Pro to boot from it. When I reached the boot menu I took out the PLoP CD, replaced it with the FreeBSD 7.2 CD and told PLoP to boot from that. FreeBSD 7.2 then proceeded to boot from CD with no apparent problems. I've successfully booted FreeBSD 7.2, 7.0, 6.2, 5.4 5.3 from CD on this machine using the PLoP CD as a boot loader. Also a recent version of the FreeNAS LiveCD. PLoP isn't required to boot the FreeBSD 4.10 CD on this machine, but the 4.10 CD causes it to freeze very early on with no messages displayed if I do use PLoP to boot it. http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html Apologies if this is long-winded, but I haven't seen this information anywhere else, so I thought I'd pass it on! I hope it helps someone.

Is there any way of forcing a nanobsd build to use a file other than GENERIC.hints to create the /boot/device.hints? Using a target specific hints file is much simple and less error prone than other methods.

Re: rTorrent + FreeBSD + pf = freeze?
On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 04:08:53PM -0800, Peter Kieser wrote: This problem has been going on for at least the past 2 years. I've had the exact same issue with rtorrent locking up or restarting machines running FreeBSD, regardless of the hardware used. All I can say is that the machine that runs rtorrent itself doesn't crash (on me), no matter how much traffic it gets. BUT the FreeBSD router that NATs this traffic via pf does crash... and just as you've observed: more frequently lately than before. A crash once or twice a week is common now, while it was once every 4 to 6 months last year... That router also acts as a mail- and webserver, so it is not only dedicated to routing. Maybe that's significant. I don't know what it is, but it seems to happen more often when there's disk activity *on the router* than when the disks are mostly idle. Perhaps disk and net subsystems concurrently using a non-locked resource and killing each other? Have you tried to run rtorrent and the router on two different FreeBSD machines? Does it lock the router, or does it crash the rtorrent box only, or both? -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ 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: Restricting tar or pax to a single file system

I think my reply went to the previous post, but here is
The syntax here is confusing, should it be

tar -c -W one-file-system -f tarfile2Becreated.tar /

From the man pages
-W longopt=value
Long options (preceded by --) are only supported directly on systems that
have the getopt_long(3) function. The -W option can be used to access long
options on systems that do not support this function.
}
Or is there another synopsis?
Yes, there are a few alternative ways to phrase the same thing. For example:
cd /
tar -cf /backup/tarball.tar --one-file-system .
tar -c --one-file-system -f /backup/tarball.tar .
You can combine the options of tar in almost *any* order with a bit of
care. For example, here's a small part of my incremental backup script:
cd /home/keramida/.zfs/snapshot/today
env TZ=UTC tar -c --one-file-system --newer-mtime '2009-11-20 00:00:00' \
-f '/backup/home.keramida.2009-11-20.tar' .

Specific interface to default route
Dear all, I have two (ethernet) network interface with IP address within the same subnet, call it msk0 and nfe0.

Gary, Its a sensitive part! if I give you the wrong permission you will be exposed to attackers! I my self dunt have the right permission, because I didnot have enough time to look for it, however If you set the wrong permission and you run spamd you will see error in you log files as cannot create ..etc.. permission denied You will have to go back and change the permission.. and start spamd again..and check your log again..755 might be very good. after you set 0755 check your log..all errors should disappear. lastly, what format is used in the whitelist? is it similar to what i have in /etc/mail/access? Well, I never change the whitelist, my openwebmail generates the data Automaticaly. You will not need to touch the file, as your webmail client will do it. However to answer your question its as whitelist_from u...@xxx.xxx whitelist_from *...@xxx.xxx donot forget to change /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamass-milter where it says owner and group to spamd So it run as spamd user instead of root. and this is in your /etc/rc.conf spamd_enable=YES spamass_milter_enable=YES spamd_flags=-u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd note that after -u there is spamd (which is the user) Good luck.

xinetd: bind argument
Hi,
I've a question with regards to the bind argument in the xinetd
configuration. Can we assign multiple IPs to it like this?
service abc
{
...
..
bind = a.b.c.d p.q.r.s
...
.
.
}
Or like this:
service abc
{
bind = a.b.c.d
bind = w.x.y.z
..
..
}
I've seen the first setup work on and off. When it doesn't work, I've edited
the file and re-arranged the IPs, and it works. At other times, the same
setup does not work. What am I missing?
The xinetd version is 2.3.14 on FreeBSD 7.2.
Thanks,
Madhu
