Re: make fails on device iir on freebsd 4.10
I just took a quick glance at your file, but will this compile if you uncomment iir??? You certainly have a lot of things included in your config file. Re-enabling some options will help you narrow down whether or not the problem is in fact the iir being commented out or whether something that depends on iir isn't commented out. Sorry for the jumbled wording, I haven't had my coffee yet. Adam Dino Vliet wrote: I want to compile a new kernel on my laptop running freebsd 4.10.

Re: Scheduled system backups program
Responses in your quoted message Joshua Lewis wrote: I have a customer who has learned the hard way (the very hard way) that backups of your corporate data are imperative. Well now that I have spent the last three days trying to recover their data I need to implement a backup plan for them. They only have a few drives for backup (two 40G and a 160G) up so I would like to make a full backup this week and then schedule incremental backups from now on. The two 40G are probably going to get striped together and the 160 is going to be a dedicated backup. They do not have any tape drives only hard drives and to top it all off they only have Macs. They are using a dedicated Mac running OS 9.2 acting as a server. I was hoping I could upgrade that system to OS X and I was wondering if there are any FreeBSD utilities that would work for backing up. Otherwise I will be setting up a freebsd backup server and I would like to save the customer the money and not have to go that route. This didn't quite make full sense to me (forgive me if I misread it). If they have all mac machines, what kind of machines are they (specs?)? I've noticed with a lot of older macs, upgrading to os x is going to require you to get more ram otherwise your users will complain. I'd suggest not considering os x if they're running anything released before the blue and white g3s (new g4 sales were when os x started shipping standard w/os 9.x and also when os 9 was no longer installed on the later generation g4s).. I have a b&w w/256 megs of ram on it. It's not so bad, but I'd suggest having 384-512 (specs say they only take 512, but they'll actually max otu and handle 1 gig quite well). Since they obviously would want to stay with the mac platform, my suggestion would be to bite the bullet and install os x on all the macs and make the backup machine freebsd. Assume almost any command line utility that exists for freebsd exists or can be compiled for mac os x (see fink.sourceforge.net for the easiest installation management...that's a broad statement so don't REALLY assume that's true w/o doing your own research). If you leave os 9.2 on those macs, you'll end up having to purchase software like mac pc-lan or other networking clients. In the end, it'll be a waste of money when they upgrade to os x anyway. the toss up is buying the os 9.2 software vs. upgrading to os x and them buying os x versions of their software (if they don't run classic in parallel with os x). I don't know much about backups, but i'd say look into rsync (someone else answer w/something better please). To save a few bucks, I'd just install freebsd on their server machine. On a side note, from what i've read (but never experienced) raid support for mac classic can be summed up in 1 wordpthththththe:P Although thye do exist, there are few hardware solutions for mac classic raid and i don't know many people fond of software driven raid (esp if your system crashes completely). I am sorry for the many OS X questions I have been posting here over the last few days but the Darwin mailing list did not respond. Does anyone know of a good OS X mailing list I can join? I don't know of any mailing lists, but I do suggest taking a look at www.macosx.com (forums...pretty good) and www.macdevcenter.com (o'reilly's site). The best source for info about personal experiences would be to check http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/. That's where I always go for mac hardware info on older machines.

jdk 1.4 from ports
I'm attempting to install jdk1.4 from /usr/ports/java/jdk14 and have no
problem compiling any of the pre-reqs, but when it gets to compiling the
actual jdk14 I get the error listed at the bottom. Floating around
google and some irc rooms hasn't helped much. I cvsup'd the ports
collection before I attempted the compilation.
Any suggestions or anyone else ever run into this problem before???

Kernel Panic (0xc023cad6 is in vm_map_delete)
Hello,
I woke up to a page this morning stating that a system
was unreachable, when looking at the logs I found that
the the system crashed.
The system is an Intel P4, 400 FSB, with 2 GB of
physical memory, 4 GB of swap, has a promise raid
controller, and runs with hyperthreading enabled on
FreeBSD v4.9.
Based on the info below I'm almost certain its memory
related, but I don't know if its physical memory or
swap... I'm also not sure why the process that caused
the panic would be apache. Apache 1.3.29 runs with
php 4.3.4.
Can anybody offer any insight as to the following?
And/or suggest a possible solution for this. It's
happened in the past as well so I'd like to try and
figure out some workaround.

Then you have no idea what you are talking about. Ask them, there is nothing special about their products that requires an NDA between them and their "partners". The aren't saying they can't release the docs because of NDAs, so why are you making up such a rediculous excuse for them? You've given them an ultimatum, and they've said no. I've dealt with a few people who have told me "do it my way, or else". I've chosen the "or else" part without any regret whatsoever: I make my own decisions, nobody else, and the people who have tried to control my decisions have gotten exactly nothing from me as a result. Nor will they, ever. No, they haven't said anything. Do you have even a basic grasp of what is going on? Adaptec was asked for info, they said "we will stall for a long time and maybe give you something that might be close to what you want someday". So Theo is asking for Adaptec's customers to tell them that this matters. If Adaptec chooses to say no, then that's fine. They can lose all the business they want. In the mean time, everyone who wasted their money on adaptec hardware is free to tell adaptec that they are losing customers. I'm sorry if you feel that corporations should be shielded from critisism from their customers, but that's not how the world works. Do you claim to speak for Adaptec? Your words are dangerously ill-chosen if you do not work for Adaptec, because you are misleading people about the company and about their products. Quit being such a corporate apologist. They refuse to give out the info required to use their hardware. That prevents people from using it. So they obviously don't want people to buy their hardware. Either that or they don't realize its costing them money to be stupid like this, which is the entire point of this, demonstrating to them that this will cost them money. You remind me of someone I knew once that went off the deep end into paranoid delusions. I once tried to explain to that person that, no, nobody was spying on me, or on him either. I think someone spying on me would be bored, quite frankly. You remind me of an asskisser that thinks apologizing for, and making excuses for others will get you favour in some way. I doubt adaptec will give you anything for making retarded excuses for them that don't even make sense, so you can stop. If adaptec has a reason why they won't let people use their hardware, they can tell their customers what that reason is, they don't need you making up excuses. Children learn to accept "no" in the process of growing up. They learn to deal with the world not giving them anything and everything the child might demand, the moment it is demanded. And adults learn that businesses like money, and showing businesses how they will lose money by making certain decisions can effect those decisions. Maybe you should take some more time to understand what is actually happening instead of making snide remarks about what you wrongly percieve is happening.

It's as secure as FTP can possibly be (without using extras like SSL/TSL), and is extremely stable. In fact, its the only popular FTPd that has NEVER had a root exploit. And, it supports privilege seperation. Note that the next major version is supposed to support SSL/TLS, but this might not be released for a while.

More hardware problems (advice needed)
My main FreeBSD (4.8) box has died on me again, and I'm 99% certain it's due to hardware failure. However, I'm having a very hard time determining what hardware is going bad, due to the nature of the crash. Let me describe the scenario. I was working on the machine, not doing anything out of the ordinary. All of a sudden, my mouse stopped responding. I thought maybe moused had crashed, so I did 'ps -aux |fgrep moused'. This caused ps to segfault, which caused me to nearly soil myself. So, I decided to quickly kill all my apps and exit X so I could reboot. When I closed X, I noticed a lot of errors on my console about dc0 (my Linksys NIC interface, external) having underruns, and that ad2 was timed out. I also noticed that my LAN connection to my other box was dead. I tried to reboot, and all went well until it got to the 'Rebooting...', at which point it hung. I waited for 10+ minutes, thinking it might eventually reboot, but it was stuck, so I turned it off. When I powered back up, I got tons of errors that the kernel couldn't be loaded, and I couldn't even get into single-user mode. So, I made a fixit floppy and fired up the fixit shell, and start poking around to see what happened. I was able to mount ad3 and ad2 just fine, but mounting ad0 caused fixit to panic and the machine reboot. So, this is where I am now. For those of you that remember, I had another crash & burn experience on that machine a couple months ago, where the machine just suddenly froze completely and my ad0 was trashed when I boot back up. That time, I didn't have backups. This time, I do. But, before I work on that computer again, I think I need to replace some hardware. I've heard pretty good arguments for both the ad0 drive (Western Digital 120gb, 2mb cache), and for the motherboard/cpu (Asus A7V266-E, Athlon 1600+). I used memtest86 to test the RAM, which came up clean. I doubt if its a power problem, since I've got a very nice case (Antec 1080, 400+ watts). Also, I've got another machine in my apartment that hasn't experienced any weird problems like this. The CPU might be overheating, but its hard to tell. Roughly 5 minutes after the crash, I checked the CPU temperature from the BIOS, which registered 63C for the CPU. I have no idea how hot the CPU was at the time of the crash, but it definitely had to have cooled off a bit in those 5 minutes. I don't have enough $$ to replace all the hardware, so I'd like some expert advice as to what is the most likely culprit. I don't know if I'll be able to convince any of Asus, AMD, or Western Digital to give me an RMA number, but I can try (also would like some advice on this to maximize my chances).

For searchable archives, try http://www.freebsdsearch.com, http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums, and of course the FreeBSD handbook on http://freebsd.org The handbook and FAQ is really the place to start. If you don't know what part of the handbook to look, just ask here or on IRC and some kind soul will help you out. FreeBSD really is the best OS in the world, and also the best community.

Problem using Fluxbox as Gnome2 Window Manager
I set my WINDOW_MANAGER variable to the full path for fluxbox, and launch startx .. Gnome loads up, then loads fluxbox, but then gets stuck for about 90 seconds while on the 'Window Manager' part of the loading dialog. After 90 seconds or so, the loading dialog finishes and the rest of Gnome2 is loaded, and everything seems to work fine. My question is, why is it getting stuck for 90 seconds like that? What do I need to do to avoid that delay? When I use the default Gnome WM, it only takes a few seconds to Gnome to load completely. Similarly, when I launch Fluxbox directly, it loads almost instantaneously .. Just for a test, I also loaded the ultra-minimalistic PWM window manager in Gnome, and that also exhibited the same problem. Any ideas what to do here? I am using FreeBSD 4.7, with all installed ports running latest available versions.

How to use TightVNC Viewer in fullscreen on Fluxbox
I would like to use TightVNC Viewer in fullscreen mode on Fluxbox on one of my workspaces to monitor my Windows computer. However, once I start up TightVNC viewer in fullscreen, I cannot figure out how to change to a different workspace, since all commands are being sent to the Windows machine instead of my X11 desktop. So, essentially, once I've started the viewer in fullscreen, I am locked into that workspace until I somehow kill the vncviewer process. Does anyone have any idea how to change workspace from within a fullscreen TightVNC session? I'd really love to figure out how to do this.

I have a few issues with this code ..
a) You never free() your malloc'ed memory
b) You shouldn't call strlen(c) every time you iterate through the
while() loop (since 'c' isn't changing). Set this length in a variable
before the while loop, then make use of that variable. This could even
be a #define, since the string is hard-coded.
c) I'm not sure this is completely portable: d[e] = 0;
Just in case, I'd suggest: d[e] = '\0';
d) Combine these two lines:
b = random();
b = b % strlen(c);
--> b = random() % len; // using 'len' variable as I mentioned before.
e) You never return from main(). Some compilers will be very unhappy
about this. Better to be explicit.
f) You don't check the return value of malloc(). This should be a
no-brainer. *Always* check the return value of malloc/calloc, no matter
how little memory you are requesting.

IPF misbehaves on prolonged TCP flood
I am running FreeBSD v4.7 on a Athlon 1600+ w/ 512mb RAM. I have experienced on several occasions where a prolonged TCP flood causes me to lose the ability to do DNS resolutions. My internet connection itself is still working, as my existing connections are still active. The only thing I've noticed not working is DNS resolutions. The problem will persist indefinitely unless I rehash IPF. This problem has happened twice when backing up my Windows "C:\Program Files" directory via FTP to my FreeBSD box. It also happened recently when some lamer was DDoS'ing my box for ~30 hours or so. Each time, rehashing IPF fixes the problem instantly. So, IPF has to be related. Is anyone familiar with such a problem? Any idea what might be causing it, or how to correct it by adding/removing/modifying a setting somewhere?

Here's how I have mine set up (ipnat): map tun0 192.168.56.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp 63000:65535 map tun0 192.168.56.0/24 -> 0/32 Basically what this says is: - All internal traffic will be routed between 63000-65535 - All outgoing connections from internal machines will be temporarily translated. Meaning, if 192.168.56.5:3456 (internal client) connects to 192.168.56.2:63001 (gateway), when the data comes back from the remote server to 63001, NAT remembers that this is actually intended for 192.168.56.5:3456, and routes accordingly .. I hope this makes sense to you .. -- Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any executable script accepting a 'start' command-line argument found in /usr/local/etc/rc.d will be executed when the system starts up.

Hrm, it seems Text files aren't even in the default list of filetypes.
But, you can add it.
1) Click on the C in the upper-left corner
2) Click on Filetypes
3) Click on New type
4) Enter a descriptive name for the filetype in the Name: field (eg,
Text file)
5) Select 'DoubleClick-Action'
6) Click 'Add command'
7) Select 'own command' and hit Okay
8) Enable 'Run in background'
9) In the program: field, enter the command you'd like to run when the
Text file is double-clicked. eg, nedit {f}
10) Hit Okay
11) In the Pattern: field, enter: *.txt
12) Enable "Use Pattern"
13) Enable "Ignore case" (if you want the action to also work on .TXT,
etc)
14) Save everything
Lots of steps, but it does make Worker extremely configurable. It's by
far my favourite file manager for X.

How to list installed ports that have no dependant ports
(/usr/ports) - ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - (01:31:37) -$ pkg_info |wc -l 488 As you can see, I need to clean up my system quite a bit. I've got a ton of things installed, most of which were installed as dependencies for ports that have since been uninstalled. So, what I'd like to do is list all the ports installed on my box that have nothing dependant on them. In this way, I could start removing things that I don't need anymore. Is there any clever way to do this? I've toyed around with a few ideas, but haven't been able to come up with anything that works nicely. -- Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Protecting against fork bombs
In light of the recent problems with cyclic Xft dependencies, it has become painfully obvious how quickly a fork bomb can bring my computer to a complete halt. Does FreeBSD provide any solutions for protecting against fork bombs? When I tried installing Mozilla yesterday morning, the explosion of 'make' processes brought my box to it's knees in minutes. I'd really like a way of protecting myself from something like this happening again. -- Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
