Is Linux emulator not up-to-date and doesn't understand STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding?
I have the working app in Ubuntu. When I copy it to FreeBSD with all shared libs I get such message: app.linux: symbol lookup error: ../lib/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4 ../lib/libstdc++.so.6 has been taken from Ubuntu (gcc-4.5.1) Upon closer inspection I see that on FreeBSD: readelf -aW ../lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE 1426: 000f30dc 4 OBJECT OS specific: 10 DEFAULT 26 _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE@@GLIBCXX_3.4 3380: 000f30dc 4 OBJECT OS specific: 10 DEFAULT 26 _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE But on Ubuntu the word UNIQUE replaces 10.

ZFS RAIDZ Controller Disk Order
Hi All, I have an old server which has FreeBSD on it. It has a cheap PCI raid controller in it, with the disks just set to pass through to the OS. Then the OS had a RAIDZ configured array form the 6 x 250gig disks passed through from the raid controller. I decided to upgrade to an array of 4 2TB disks running on new hardware (using the same server case). The disks were in a separate chassis to the motherboard, its quite complicated! So I copied the data off the old array via NFS to a separate 2TB disk. Then built the new array. Unfortunately I have realised I forgot to copy my old photos off the old array. I would really like to recover the old photos although, I suppose its not the end of the world if they are lost. As a fail safe I had left the old array disks as they were so, that I can just plug them back in if anything went wrong. Or so I thought! On plugging them back in zpool is complaining that they are all corrupt, except the first 2. It seems fairly unlikely I have got that unlucky. So I was wondering, does the order they were in the controller matter. They are all being presented in the same range of addresses da0 through da5 but they are probably connected up to different ports, so da0 is now da2 and so on. Can anyone think of a way to get them back in the correct order if it does matter, other than trial and error. Can I find out what number each one was in the pool from the disk somehow?

For safety's sake I backed it up and rebooted the server. Zpool then lost all trace of the old array. Then I used the zpool import command which was able to automatically locate the array then I simply imported it by its name. Magically all is working agian!

Yes, FreeBSD's base system brings the IPFW firewall that can be used to block IPs, ranges of IPs or lists. Also PF can be used for that purpose. Still I'm not sure in how far there are GUI applications that help you controlling those system-level tools. For most uses, automated solutions without any UI at all are widely preferred. See man ipfw for details. There are also other tools to help with blocking SSH brute force attacks or unwanted FTP connection attempts from unauthorized IPs. There are good automating mechanisms in those tools. Those tools are available from FreeBSD's ports collection.

(It just won't build html'ized versions of the manpages.) If you do need the html'ized manpages, I suggest you build them after the upgrade, perhaps using www/man2web instead. I need to correct something I said here. textproc/man2html is NOT broken. It simply wasn't intended to be used in the way the dbus Makefiles are trying to use it. man2html only takes its input from stdin. If you specify a filename on its commandline, as the dbus Makefile does, man2html will ignore it and simply wait for input on stdin. Since that input never comes, the dbus build appears to hang.

Upgrading python and it's ensuing issues
So, in the course of actually upgrading all of my ports (via portmaster -a), which I've been trying to do for weeks and weeks now. 1) 'portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25' was successful 2) Python 2.6.6 is installed. 3) 'cd /usr/ports/lang/python make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER' failes, every time, so I have no idea what has actually been successfully updated and what hasn't, short of comparing the below list.

setting a random password with PAM API
Hi, First, I'd like to apologise for my choice of lists to post to ... the question is more PAM-specific than FreeBSD, but the idea comes from BSD, so I hope someone will have an idea or knows where to turn to (and I don't know where to turn else). I am trying to implement the feature to set a random password like in BSD pw usermod -W in the Solaris passwd. Regrettably, I have not found or perhaps not understood the PAM API documentation on how to _inject a given string_ into the change-auth-token function pam_chauthtok(...), which always jumps in an interactive pw-changing loop. After I have generated a random string char * randstring, I have tried setting that string using retval = pam_set_item( pamh, PAM_AUTHTOK, randstring); which returns PAM_SUCCESS. The password / authentication token remains unchanged, however. My second idea, i.e., using pam_sm_chauthtok(...), did not work, either, as I have not understood the arguments to be passed. Should anybody know how to inject a given/known string into PAM to set a user password, know where to look for documentation regarding that issue or have another idea, I would really appreciate it ... and again my apologies for being more than just slightly off topic.

Edit it's 'Makefile'. Look for an assignment of the form:
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} = amd64
BROKEN= This port fails to frobnicate foo on amd64.
.endif
Remove this assignment, build the port and try to debug its problems.
When you have a fix, run make clean in the port directory, save a copy
of the entire port subdirectory somewhere and email the person or team
listed in MAINTAINER with your fix.

Re: Firefox 3.6 and Java ?
I gather that Firefox 3.6 still doesn't work with Java, since the glue hasn't been updated. Is anyone likely to be working on this? java/openjdk6 WITH_WEB will give you the plugin to use with www/firefox. I'm trying to build openjdk6 on amd64 8.1-RELEASE, and I'm getting build errors. I did make config and turned on the WEB option, then make. One error went away when I installed libXtst, but there's another near the end of the build when it's trying to build icedtea and it can't find nsThreadUtils.h. That appears to be a firefox36 file, and I see it's installed, but the includes are messed up or something. Any suggestions? ___ 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

This will zero out any old MBR. Er, no, Mike. The MBR is in sector 0 of the disk; that would zero out sector 1 as oseek=1 skips over sector 0. What's in sector 1 depends on how/whether the disk is sliced. In a 'dangerously dedicated' (unsliced) disk like a memory stick perhaps, this would usually be /boot/boot1 and include the bsdlabel. In a sliced disk, sectors 1 to 62 are typically unused, the first slice usually starting at sector 63. t23% fdisk -s ad0 /dev/ad0: 232581 cyl 16 hd 63 sec PartStartSize Type Flags 1: 63 8385867 0x0b 0x00 2: 8385930 125821080 0xa5 0x80 3: 13420701033543342 0xa5 0x00 4: 16775073066685815 0xa5 0x00 If you really want to zero out sector 0, leave out the oseek (or use oseek=0) - but you're better off using 'fdisk -Bi' to init a new disk. I have seen this exact error before, and this is what took care of it. -Mike Mmm .. it's not clear from Chris' original message exactly what he did. Mike, Thanks for that little tip, I tried it this morning and it hung for about 30 second w/ no cd/hd activity, then it resumed w/ a beep, it printed some garbage on the console, the only ledgeable was the following [..] GARBAGEInvalid partition tableError loading operating systemMissing operating systemGARBAGEGARBAGEGARBAGE1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 2.712151 secs (189 bytes/sec) [..] This doesn't make sense. Rather than 'I tried it' please show the exact command/s you are issuing. Given it's a new disk you can afford to make mistakes, but once you have anything valuable on a disk you need to take extreme care with dd(1), it's so easy to fatfinger something wrong. eg, what you show above would indicate just what you'd get by running: dd if=/dev/ad4 count=1 ie, using 'if=' not 'of=', with of=/dev/stdout implied, ie to console. If you do want to look at one or more raw sectors, it's very much safer piping dd's stdout to hd (hexdump), as the delays and beep you mention are consistent with piping raw bytes out to the console .. often this can blow your console settings away (I've done it too many times :) If you initialise a disk with the default MBR (or it came that way) then that's usually what's in /boot/mbr - or /boot/boot0 if you've chosen the FreeBSD boot manager, or something else if using (say) grub. t23% dd if=/boot/mbr | hd fc 31 c0 8e c0 8e d8 8e d0 bc 00 7c be 1a 7c bf |.1.|..|.| 0010 1a 06 b9 e6 01 f3 a4 e9 00 8a 31 f6 bb be 07 b1 |..1.| 0020 04 38 2f 74 08 7f 75 85 f6 75 71 89 de 80 c3 10 |.8/t..u..uq.| 0030 e2 ef 85 f6 75 02 cd 18 80 fa 80 72 0b 8a 36 75 |u..r..6u| 0040 04 80 c6 80 38 f2 72 02 8a 14 89 e7 8a 74 01 8b |8.r..t..| 0050 4c 02 bb 00 7c f6 06 bd 07 80 74 2d 51 53 bb aa |L...|.t-QS..| 0060 55 b4 41 cd 13 72 20 81 fb 55 aa 75 1a f6 c1 01 |U.A..r ..U.u| 0070 74 15 5b 66 6a 00 66 ff 74 08 06 53 6a 01 6a 10 |t.[fj.f.t..Sj.j.| 0080 89 e6 b8 00 42 eb 05 5b 59 b8 01 02 cd 13 89 fc |B..[Y...| 0090 72 0f 81 bf fe 01 55 aa 75 0c ff e3 be b9 06 eb |r.U.u...| 00a0 11 be d1 06 eb 0c be f0 06 eb 07 bb 07 00 b4 0e || 00b0 cd 10 ac 84 c0 75 f4 eb fe 49 6e 76 61 6c 69 64 |.u...Invalid| 00c0 20 70 61 72 74 69 74 69 6f 6e 20 74 61 62 6c 65 | partition table| 00d0 00 45 72 72 6f 72 20 6c 6f 61 64 69 6e 67 20 6f |.Error loading o| 00e0 70 65 72 61 74 69 6e 67 20 73 79 73 74 65 6d 00 |perating system.| 00f0 4d 69 73 73 69 6e 67 20 6f 70 65 72 61 74 69 6e |Missing operatin| 0100 67 20 73 79 73 74 65 6d 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 |g system| 0110 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 || * 01b0 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 80 00 00 || 01c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || * 01f0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 55 aa |..U.| 0200 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 0.079548 secs (6436 bytes/sec) Look familiar? :) That's what 'dd if=/dev/ad4 count=1 | hd' would show on a disk with default MBR, except there'd be the slice data in the MBR section of the boot sector, starting at 0x1be, ending with 'sig' 55aa.
