6.1_RELEASE / mergemaster error
I humbly apologize if this is a repost. Googles Gmail has been very unpredictable lately, so in frustration I am resending this from my ol' faithful ISP mailbox since last nights post never seemed to make it to the list. I am upgrading from 6.1_RC (something like that) to 6.1_RELEASE using CVSUp & RELENG_6.1 tag After make installworld I ran the final run through of mergemaster and received this error: ERROR CODE 64 FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'dc' into /usr/src/etc/ and install files to the temproot environment. Cant say how far it got before this error but it looked like it was going along pretty good. Upon reboot there were at least one system files missing, like hosts. I'm not sure if other files failed to copy on as well. I was in single user mode and did the fsck and mounts as described in the manual. I chmod 777 on that directory but that did not help. Also noticed samba did not start from rc.conf although it loads and runs from the prompt. But these may or may not be a symptom of the error. Should I be concerned about this? How I fix and move on? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Fwd: Upgrading to 6.1 (cvsup)
John, Sorry I think I sent this direct only this is being sent to list. -- Forwarded message -- From: Bryan Curl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: May 9, 2006 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Upgrading to 6.1 (cvsup) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found this tutorial very helpfull on my first upgrade. http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_applications_up-to-date.html But I must warn you that this process can take hours-days to complete after compiling the entire system from source code and installing, depending of course on how big your setup is and how fast your box is.

Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...
If that just fixes From in the header Im not sure that is entirely my problem. Since my bounces seem to be related to my localhost domain name, I wonder about a setting like described here from sendmail's manual. You can have your host masquerade as another using MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') This causes mail being sent to be labeled as coming from the indicated host.domain, rather than $j. One normally masquerades as one of one's own subdomains (for example, it's unlikely that Berkeley would choose to masquerade as an MIT site). This behaviour is modified by a plethora of FEATUREs <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html>; in particular, see masquerade_envelope<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_envelope>, allmasquerade <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#allmasquerade>, limited_masquerade<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#limited_masquerade>, and masquerade_entire_domain<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_entire_domain> .

Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...
Ok I'll bite. I installed fetchmail and fairly quickly had it retreiving mail into system. I installed mutt and spent 2 hours looking at man and muttrc. Wow. What I dont get is how mutt replies to mail I retrived from ' mywork.mailserver.com'. I have to use '' to send the mail. I think I do it like this. mutt sends mail as usual. Then, fetchmail -S smtp.myispmailserver.net The mail bounces from myispmailserver.net with an error like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my private domain) is urecognized domain. (exact message escapes me at this time) The question is how do I tell mutt to send all mail out through ' smtp.myispmailserver.net'? Or maybe I need to configure sendmail or fetchmail differntly? Can someone point me to some sample configs or human readable help information?

Re: ipfirewall tricks
On second look PF has some definite improvements over IPFilter. My rule set file is half as long for one thing. I like the macros and tables. I'm still reading throught he documentation, but, I have not figured out why the log doesnt seem to be working yet. I have all the required entries in rc.conf. pf_enable="YES" # Enable PF (load module if required) pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf" # rules definition file for pf pf_flags="" # additional flags for pfctl startup pflog_enable="YES" # start pflogd(8) pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog" # where pflogd should store the logfile pflog_flags="" # additional flags for pflogd startup Handbook at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/. seems to indicate I need a device named pflog0 which I do not have. Also pflogd does not start on boot even tough it is listed in rc.conf. Perhaps the start up script did not get installed into the correct location. My installatin was from the 6.0 release ISO. so I would naturally assume it is correct. Thanks for the reminder of this program. I think I will like it better than the others for my purposes and administrative skill level.

I thought it might be related to the fact that 6.1 is so new. I pressumed that if some of the files were there for 6.1 all of them would be. I think I will wait until it is up to snuff.

So I'm off to makeworld land. Hopefully I'll be back in few days. Looks like I have slave hard drive failing as well ...so fun fun. My pleasure. As for the failing HDD, I went through the very same thing last week with one of the data disks on my home file/mail server. Lost loads of mail (about three years' worth), and all sorts of other stuff. I am never buying another IBM DeathStar! You would not believe how fast the damn thing went sour... Anyways, best of luck saving your data! Dan Fortunately there was no data on it yet since I just got the server up to 6.0. But back to the topic, it looks like I jumped the gun on the PRERELEASE update here. I have already CVSUPed the sources and ran 'make buildworld' and 'make buildkernel'. I have not installed anything yet. Once everybody settles on what the new tag for 6.1 will be, can I just re-run 'make buildworld' and 'make buildkernel' and go from there??? -- Bryan Curl b3910 'at' pcisys 'dot' net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
6.1-PRERELEASE CVSUP tag=???
What is the cvsup tag for getting 6.1-PRERELEASE src? I think it should be tag=RELENG_6_1 . Can I use src-all for this revision to upgrade from where I am now?

Primary master is the boot drive where OS lives. The master is cabled on the end connector and the slave is connected to the middle connector on the cable. The supplied documentation on the drive jumpers is vague at best. It only makes mention of one jumper (master or slave positions) There are 3 other jumpers on the drive that are not mentioned. Looks to me like DMA feature isn't working but I dont know if this is activated by a jumper or by firmware somehow. > > > I dont know what causes these errors either. > > > > dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state > > dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state > > > The driver tried to force the transmitter and > receiver to be "idle" > temporarily, and failed.

Drive errors on boot
My apologies if this is a repost. It seems either I had a gmail problem or list never posted the question. I have subscribed with another address to monitor problem. Anyway, here is my quesion again. I get the following errors from dmesg on one of my ide drives on boot. Other similar drives dont error and are setup the same in bios (except cylinder & block config of course) System and this drive seem to work fine otherwise. I re-fdisk this one but it still does this error.

Cvsup & installworld process question
Hopefully this is right place for my question and not to redundant. I have a new minimalist installation for use as a file server only (FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE) with a very small set of ports installed. Basically Samba, Cvsup,man files, ports, all the source and their dependencies. I am primarily interested in keeping the system up to date with security patches, system updates, and of course, the ports I run. I want to optimize the amount of disk space for the public shares so I don't want to arbitrarily install a lot of programs I don't need. My question is, 1.) If I CVSUP SRC-ALL, 'make buildworld', 'make installworld' etc, will that install the entire source tree to my machine and eat up disk space unnecessarily? In other words do I need to weed out all but the basic components I want before make installworld? 2.) What branches of the source tree would I be required to keep up to date for my minimal installation? I realized in testing on an older system that portupgrade will only install ports I am using but don't know if make installworld will do the same. --- Bryan bc3910 'at' gmail 'dot' com -- --- Bryan bc3910 'at' gmail 'dot' com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
