 Hi all -

 I connect to a FreeBSD server from OSX (via iTerm).  I then start up
 screen.

 And it resizes my windows to 80 characters wide.  This doesn't happen on
 linux.

It's more likely that it's an issue with iTerm. Screen can resize
dynamically if the term program works correctly.

That said, screen and the relationship to the termcap is always a
royal pain.  I use tcsh and I always throw something in my .tcshrc to
detect for the TERM environment variable value for screen and blow
away TERMCAP if it finds it.

 if ($term == screen) then
unsetenv TERMCAP
 endif

Syntax will be different for other shells.

 Furthermore, how can signals be handled such that the signals get
 accumulated and once all the other workers have finished the signals get
 passed on (appropriately)


One simplistic way of doing something like that is to make each worker
process write a file out to disk upon completion.  Then have a while
loop that sleeps for a minute and then checks for the existence of
that file and if it finds it, execute other commands.

Probably not the cleanest method, but I think you'll find that
handling forks and signals in a shell script is more trouble than it's
worth.

 I'm hoping some of you can help me out a bit with this...I'm trying
 to setup remote access of my laptop at work via SSH tunnels between a
 FreeBSD box at the office and my FreeBSD firewall at home.

 XP Laptop (work)  FreeBSD (work)  FreeBSD (home)  Mac (home)
 or Mac (remote)



I've done similar hoop-jumping before.  It's a mish-mash of local and
remote ssh tunnels.

In this case, I would do something like this...

XP Laptop initiates a remote tunnel to FreeBSD work...

ssh -R 5900:localhost:65900 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will cause traffic on freebsd-work port 65900 to be directed to
your xp laptop on port 5900.


Then a remote tunnel from FreeBSD work to FreeBSD home.

ssh -R 65900:localhost:65900 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will make freebsd-home listen for traffic on port 65900 and
direct that traffic to port 65900 on freebsd-work, which you've
already set up to direct that traffic to port 5900 on your xp laptop.

Then from your mac, initiate a local tunnel to FreeBSD home...

ssh -L 5900:localhost:65900 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This should direct the traffic to the already-waiting port 65900 on
freebsd-home machine.

Now, from the mac, you should be able to run your vnc viewer on
localhost and have your xp laptop come up.

Clunky, but once you've got the tunnels all connected right, it works
ok.  You don't have to use 65900 of course, I just like to use a
nonstandard port for the in-between servers.

really not something I would advise to someone not experienced in

kde and gnome/gtk font appearance...

I was wondering if anyone could explain this discrepancy in font appearance.

Here is how fonts appear on my desktop apps in gnome/metacity.

http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpfa8.jpg

Here is how fonts appear by default in kde/kwin.

http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdewt9.jpg

And here is how fonts appear in kde/kwin after I manually run the
gnome-font-properties app.

http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpuh0.jpg


I've tried kde with and without xfs as well as xfstt.  In kde control
center, I've configured it to use the same exact fonts and font sizes
as gnome-font-properties.  I've also set the anti-aliasing options to
match up.

So basically I'd like to run kde with my fonts appearing like they do
in gnome.  Does anyone have advice?  Is there some gnome program I
could have kde automatically launch to get the results I want?

I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p11, xorg-6.9.0_5, kde-3.5.5, gnome2-2.16.2.

wireless iwi breaking in 6.1-R-p10 to 6.1-R-p11 upgrade

2006-12-07 Thread Andy Harrison

I've been running 6.1-R-p10 for months now without any issues.  After
I upgraded last night, wpa_supplicant is broken.   When I run it in
debug mode, I see it repeat this error message:

Starting AP scanbroadcast SSID)
ioctl[SIOCS80211]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 23, arg 0x0]: Invalid argument
Failed to initiate AP scan.
Setting scan request: 10 sec 0 usec

Any clue what the problem might be?

My wpa_supplicant.conf file hasn't been changed for 2 months.  I've
been running the FreeBSD version of wpa_supplicant, but today I tried
installing the wpa_supplicant-0.3.8_2 port to see if that would work,
it did not and failed with the error messages.

I verified that the correct kernel modules are being loaded.  I
switched back to the GENERIC kernel profile, rm -rf /usr/obj/*, and
did another full make buildworld  make kernel and installation
procedure.

At the boot prompt, if I unload the new kernel, then load
/boot/kernel.old/kernel and boot, I still get the same wpa_supplicant
errors.

Any ideas?

So anyway, nevermind, all set...

If anyone else runs into this, remember boys and girls, if you upgrade
your kernel, you may need to reload your firmware to your wireless
card.

iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss

Can you say firmware?

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?

2006-10-15 Thread Andy Harrison

On 10/15/06, William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



So, basically, I'm asking you guys to wow me. :-) Show me how FreeBSD
can outdo Linux. Make me never want to go back.




There's already been plenty of answers with which I agree.  The bulk of my
professional life was with Solaris, with some linux and BSD/OS in the mix.
Then I changed jobs and needed to be a FreeBSD guy.  It was so easy to run
and manage, I felt like I was cheating.  Where was the struggling to satisfy
every dependency?  Where was the need to hunt down the latest version of a
binary package or rpm?  Where were the unresolved symbol errors while
upgrading kernels?  Eventually I became adept at making my own rpm's, so
less waiting for updated rpm's while still retaining the maintainability of
package installs.

And then there was FreeBSD.  A new version of apache comes out, someone
tweaked a couple of files in the ports tree, my scheduled cvsup picks it up
automatically anyway, so I'm left with nothing more than running
'portupgrade'.  Or (far less frequently) a new version of something comes
out, but it's less popular so the port maintainer hasn't gotten around to
tweaking the ports fast enough for me.  I just tweak the files myself
because the process is far simpler than creating custom rpm's, then let it
rip.

I like how files are very consistently found in logical places, like
/usr/local/etc for config files, /usr/local/var for stuff like databases,
/usr/local/www for web stuff, /usr/local/bin for binaries.  It's not a
constant quest wondering where stuff got installed and what data files are
where, and not having to type paths to run programs in curious locations.
that sort of thing used to become especially annoying with programs that
like to install into a directory where the name included the version number,
/usr/local/foo-1.1.1/ or something.

Like I said before, running FreeBSD is so easy it's almost like cheating.

Note that, regardless of platform, compiling your perl apps to hide

berkeley is also a database file format...

 Hey,
 
 I know questions like this get asked a lot, but I'm going to be really specific.
 
 I know how to set up failover with a backup MX.  That's not what I'm looking

 while everything gets backed up, this only happens once a night.  Thus, if the
 server were to go up in smoke right before the backup occurred, we'd lose
 something like 23 hours worth of emails.
 
 Does anyone have a solution to provide real-time mirroring of IMAP folders?
 I don't mind manual intervention to get the thing running again, I just want
 to ensure that if an email is received, it's on both machines and can't get
 lost.  Is there a way to get real-time replication of cyrus (I'm no cyrus
 guru, another fellow set this up)
 
 I'm not tied to Cyrus either, if there's another solution, I'd be happy to
 implement it.
 
 I have an idea ... by using Dovecot with PostgreSQL storing the actual mail
 folders, with Slony installed to provide real-time replication of the Postgres
 database ... I don't know if Dovecot is able to store the actual mail folders
 in Postgres yet, though ... Anyone?


Real time mirroring would be a long way to go for very little
return.  You'd be much better off with some sort of NAS in a raid
config, even if it were home grown, to store the spools.  Then you can
have as many front-ends as you want, just auth with LDAP or something.

 Hi,
 
 I am using screen 4.00.01 on FREEBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE.
 

This is a total shot in the dark, but I wonder if this little section
of the manual might apply.


Invoked by remote shell daemon
..

   Bash attempts to determine when it is being run by the remote shell
daemon, usually `rshd'.  If Bash determines it is being run by rshd, it
reads and executes commands from `~/.bashrc', if that file exists and
is readable.  It will not do this if invoked as `sh'.  The `--norc'
option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the `--rcfile' option
may be used to force another file to be read, but `rshd' does not
generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be
specified.

 Undoubtedly this problem has been covered many times. I am not very savy
 with Freebsd.
 
 I am using Freebsd 4.9 compiled for use with smp. The system has a Promise
 Fasttrak tx2 100 raid card using 4x40 in a raid 0, which is currently acting
 as a small file server for my lan. Whenever I copy large files or a large
 number of smaller files (mp3's) off the server the system reboots or worse
 yet it reboots. The system has a 3com 3c905b-tx nic in the system. I have
 noticed that if I set my other machine, to which I wish to copy the files
 to, to run at 10mbit's and leave the freebsd box at 100mbit/sec the crash
 takes much longer to happen. Normally it would crash within 3-5 minutes, so
 not immediately, and much longer, say 20 minutes if I copy at 10mbit/sec. I
 have also noticed that if I copy 1 600 meg file off, it will not crash, yet
 if I copy 100 mp3's off, it crashes. The system is also running apache,
 sendmail and bind. Initially I was getting xl0 timeout errors. After doing
 some googling I discovered the possibility of a irq conflict. I immediately
 took out any other cards in the system, sound/decoder, and moved the network
 card and promise raid controllers around in slots until the bios post screen
 showed no irq sharing or conflict. Yet the problem still remains. It is here
 now that I've noticed that occasionally instead of locking up, it will just
 reboot, although still most of the time it locks up.
 
 System information is:
 
 Abit Bp6 with dual Celeron 366's.
 
 Standard ide boot drive
 
 4 ide 40 gig western digital drives on promise fasttrak tx2 100 raid
 controller
 
 3com 3c905b-tx nic
 
 Nvidia geforce 2 video
 
 I think that's about all the standard stuff, nothing else in there.
 
 Any help would really be appreciated

What slots are the cards in?  You need to be careful of the last two
slots because they're bus mastering slots.  Try moving one card so
that only one of the last two slots is filled.

X Session Attach/Detach?

2004-06-09 Thread Andy Harrison
I was just wondering if there was any software to allow this?  I've
been googling around a bit, but not coming up with anything specific.
Sort of like the Sunrays where you can detach from your local machine
where you're working, go to another machine, then reattach to the same
X session.  Yes, I'm aware of tools like vnc and the like, but I was
wondering if there was anything more seamless.

mod_perl installation and non-standard perl path

2004-04-19 Thread Andy Harrison
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

For reasons I don't want to trouble you with, I had to install the
latest perl port into /usr/local/rt3/perl/ and now I need to get
mod_perl to compile against that version.


I edited the Makefile, added
MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl to CONFIGURE_ARGS and I
edited the shebang line in /usr/local/bin/apxs to point to my new
installation of perl.

Then, I tried using this cli in the mod_perl port directory.

 bash-2.05b# PERL5LIB=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd 
PREFIX=/usr/local/rt3/perl SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl make

While pieces of the compile output show that it is using
/usr/local/rt3/perl/*, most of it shows that it's pulling from
/usr/local/lib/perl5/* for libs.

I even combed through the work directory and manually changed the
references to the perl binary to /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl with no
luck.  Same results every time.  And yes, I've been doing a make clean
in between compiles.

Any advice?

Anyone had any luck getting java working with Opera?

I'm using the port opera-7.20.20030925 and the freebsd native java port
jdk-1.3.1p8_2.  

My ~/.opera/javapath.txt file reads:

/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/

I'm starting opera with the default shell script at /usr/X11R6/bin/opera.

It will either not start at all, or sometimes:

 /usr/X11R6/bin/opera
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

with a corresponding messages log entry of:

AFAIK, you can't.  You can, however, use something like the find command.  

find /somedir -type f -name '*pattern*' -maxdepth 1 -exec mv {} newdir \;
(maxdepth 1 limits it to the current directory, otherwise it is recursive.)

 4.8 or 5.1?
 

I have 4.8 at work, and 5 at home.  I'm happier with 4.8 so far.  I keep
running into silly quirks that I have to take time to fix in 5, library
 issues, that sort of thing.  Basically I find myself wanting to reinstall with
4.8 on it.

 
 Partitions
 

I run a similar machine at work.  p4 2.4Ghz 512MB, 80GB. and it runs great.  I
gave myself 1GB of swap, and I rarely ever touch more than 40-50MB when I'm
really giving it a beating.

/= 512MB, I'm current at 31% utilized
/var = 256MB, 38% utilized
/tmp = 256MB, 14% utilized
/usr = the rest...

 The machine currently has 512MB of RAM, but since I won't have the financial
 means or desire to get a new complete system in the next two to four years,

I haven't seen much need to upgrade my RAM, though I don't run the K nor GNOME.

Why do you say you have installed the package?  Since pkg_info doesn't show it,
we can see that you have *not* installed Window Maker, although you appear to
have successfully installed the wmtop dock app.

Also, as someone pointed out already, the binary is wmaker, not windowmaker. 
And you need to be sure you've run wmaker.inst while logged in as your regular

mod_perl

2003-07-23 Thread Andy Harrison
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

I'd like to install mod_perl from ports on freebsd, but even if I do something
as simple as 'make extract' it complains:

Error: you don't have the right version of perl in /usr/bin.

This is correct, I want to install it against the version of perl in
/usr/local/bin *not* against the version in /usr/bin.

Any advice?

I cannot use the 'use.perl' script because that takes over the /usr/bin/perl
binary which I must leave untouched.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [Directoryadmin-list] compile trouble

Help me out. Find in your /usr/include a file called crypt.h.  Please 
also find a file called des.h.  AFAIK, your BSD works with DES instead 
of Crypt.  You might get it to compile by changing crypt.h to des.h, but 
that's not the clean solution.

I'm interested in having DA compile flawlessly on the BSDs.  Do you know 
of some compile  #DEFINE i can use to detect your BSD system and use DES 
instead of crypt?

Another of my concerns using DA in a mixed BSD/Linux environment is that 
the BSDs would use DES to generate the password hash, while Linux would 
use Crypt, and hence the directory server might not authenticate some 
clients. 

Two conclusions:  help me find a #DEFINE to detect your operating 
system  and use des.h (if the BSDs have it).  And, when in DA, use MD5 
passwords.

luck,

 Like, LBX99.DAT141683.
 
 These are data transactions and contain one line.  The lines i am trying to

 1~TA~  (standing for timeand attendance labor transactions)
 
  I've tried
 
#!/usr/bin/sh

 do
 mv $x /newdir
 done
 
 
 
 There  seems to be something i am missing like some output redirection or an 
 ls listing... probably alot more.
 
 I know this can be done in a one liner somehow but I need it to be executed 
 from cron.
 
 Thanks for any assistance.

Change it to this and it should be ok

`find /dir -type f -name 'LB*' | xargs grep -l '^1~TA'`

rdist can be run through ssh, which is useful.  (i have no clue if rsync can or
can't)

Here's my little wrapper:

bin/sdist:
#!/bin/sh

rdistd is the path to rdistd on the remote box.

 Normally, I'd also agree with this. However, a friend of mine built a NAS
 using the 3ware card and 11 200gb WD drives in a RAID5 config and can
 sustain 85mbit/s *write* (the test was several hours long). I suspect it
 would do even more with a gig-E card.
 
 Of course, that test would be fairly meaningless when you're doing something
 like a mail spool, but it proves the application should drive the method.

Yes, true.  If capacity is more important, then obviously raid10 isn't the best
choice.

Let me know if that NAS needs a new home.  ;)

 already has them setup?

You don't need to worry about it.  DNS for ip ranges is reversed by whatever
server is configured to be authoritative at ARIN.

It *is* possible to trick dns into delegating reverse for individual ip's, but
finding an isp that will do it is very rare.

 I'm assuming if I can use nslookup [ip-address] to get my hostname, 
 that reverse DNS on the ISP is setup properly.  Is this an okay 
 assumption?


Well, realistically, yes.  Theoretically, no.  To make a long story short, if
you want to be positive, resolve it from a 3rd party's name server.  

nslookup x.x.x.x ns.netscape.com 

or at one of the websites.  http://network-tools.com/ for instance.

 Highly recommend you go with Raid 10 and not 5.


I 2nd that.  Raid 5 offers very very POOR performance.  While it sucks up the
most diskspace, Raid 10 is maximum performance and great fault tolerance.  For
an i/o intensive service like a mail server or something, raid 5 will
eventually cause your server to get crushed over time as the number of users
increases.  The you're forced to convert to raid 10.  We learnt this the hard
way.  ;)
