Wireless networking in ad-hoc mode?
Hello! I need to connect my laptop to the wireless NIC on my FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE gateway. It's ral0, and I've set it to ad-hoc mode. My laptop, running Windows XP, can see the network bsd but not ping it / connect to it. I used some ascii2hex converter that I found online to turn the wep key 1n4te into 316E3474410D0B. # ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt adhoc ssid bsd wepmode on wepkey 316E3474410D0B # dmesg | grep ral0 ral0: Ralink Technology RT2500 mem 0xfeafc000-0xfeafdfff irq 22 at device 1.0 on pci2 # ifconfig ral0 -m ral0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::214:85ff:fe1b:cbdf%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:14:85:1b:cb:df media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps) status: no carrier ssid bsd channel 11 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 I appreciate this guys!

Maintaining my music collection (off topic)
Hello! I have a rather large collection of CDs and vinyls which I have digitized for preservation. For instance: +/usr/home/mp3 |+-instrumentals/ || +-fat_jon_as_maurice_galactica-humanoid_erotica-cd-2001/ || | +-00-fat_jon_as_maurice_galactica-humanoid_erotica-2001-back.jpg || | +-00-fat_jon_as_maurice_galactica-humanoid_erotica-2001-cd.jpg || | +-00-fat_jon_as_maurice_galactica-humanoid_erotica-2001-front.jpg || | +-00-fat_jon_as_maurice_galactica-humanoid_erotica-cd-2001.nfo || | +-01-at_the_bar.mp3 || | +-02-14_years-nbd.mp3 || | +-03-triple_gold_daytons.mp3 || | +-04-no.mp3 || | +-05-tell_me.mp3 || | +-06-the_queen_and_i.mp3 || | +-07-backseat_anonymous-.mp3 || | +-08-change_your_mind.mp3 || | +-09-exact_space.mp3 || | +-10-i_dee.mp3 || | +-11-rain_dance_remix_instrumental.mp3 || | +-12-pretty_pussy_kitty_kat_ft_five_deez.mp3 || | +-13-unnamed_track.mp3 Inside mp3/ there are a lot of subfolders and subsubfolders containing my albums. My problem is that they all lack a Simple File Verification file as well as a M3U playlist. Generating those manually for each album is way too much. I was wondering if anybody could assist me in building this script to perform these tasks: 1) Go to all directories containing an .nfo file 2) Generate an .sfv file based on the .mp3 files in each directory 3) Remove .sfv comments created by the cfv tool 4) Give the .sfv file the same name as the as the .nfo file (except extension) 5) Do an ls *.mp3 and output it to the same file name as the other two files (except extension) So far a friend of mine has helped me make this: fix() { find ${1+:$@} -name '*.nfo' | while read file ; do cd ${file%/*} if [[ $(ls *.sfv) ]]; then (( recreate )) do=1 || do=0 else do=1 fi (( do )) cfv -C *.mp3 || { echo SFV creation failed. ; return 1 ; } ; ... filename code .. ; cfv=$( ls *.cfv ) if [[ -n $cfv ]] ; then echo SFV already exists. else Data=$( awk '! /^:/' $cfv ) echo $Data $cfv || echo Comment removal failed. fi } But it doesn't really work. # sh fix.sh fix.sh: 9: Syntax error: do unexpected (expecting )) Maybe it also can be simplified? I don't know much coding, but to me it looks kind of messy. Well, that's it.

Let's update FreeBSD vs Linux vs Windows XP
Hello! We've all tried advocating FreeBSD by showing our friends the infamous http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html comparison. But despite its excellent, it has lost its integrity because its age. Many things have changed since then, and on behalf of all those who enjoy advocating FreeBSD: It's time we bring the truth out. What do you all say? Instead of bugging Mr Murray Stokely about updating it, why don't we just update it in this thread? If everybody could contribute their bit of truth, I am willing to compile it into a nicely written (and designed*) sequence of TXT, HTML and PDF and post it back here. It is very important to get this situation straight. So we all know where we stand. I have put an easier version of the comparison up at: http://www.home.no/hedhnta/versus.txt So please post corrections referring to each paragraph. It would also be nice to include Mac OS X in this comparison. * In line with: http://identity.berkeley.edu/downloads/ucb_design_style.pdf Thank you all!

Explaining FreeBSD features
Hello. I am curious why it's so difficult to get a simple and straight forward list of FreeBSD's features, that normal people can understand? I am trying to write one of the largest articles ever to be published on www.PCWorld.no -- to only say good things about FreeBSD. But I want it clear what good things to say. http://www.freebsd.org/features.html is alright, but not the best. Using super-advanced jargons, it says what they are, but not what they do. At least not in a way normal people can understand. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/unix/ aims more towards the general public, and does the job a little better. How ever they don't even mention half of FreeBSD's features. http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html is very, very good. I get the feeling though, that it ain't like that no more. Any idea, people?

Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
This sounds good. How much time is left for you to write it? A couple of weeks :) So I have a lot of time to do research. FreeBSD is a typical system driven by technical people. Clearly its weakest point. Or, as I describe it for myself, if I would know marketing, I would not write software. If you knew them both, your powers wouldn't know limits. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/unix/ aims more towards the general public, and does the job a little better. How ever they don't even mention half of FreeBSD's features. Not all applies to FreeBSD. Hopefully one day they will. http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html is very, very good. I get the feeling though, that it ain't like that no more. It is a starting point but a bit outdated. True. I did e-mail this Murray, he told me he was working on a new one. Any idea, people? Not really as I also do not know the current status of your article. I also have no idea what the target audience will be. Actually, it's not only for the article. I also want to create an introductory report where FreeBSD meets the real life, and try to present it in the same professional manner that Apple presents their Mac OS X. Maybe some can even be used as wording for FreeBSD's new website, which they desperately need. Let me give you some not to technical points for a start. FreeBSD strongest and also its weakest point is that it is developed by serious people as a serious operating system who took the work of a serious university as their base. This leads easily to misunderstandings when newcommers appearing at the scene. The main advantage of FreeBSD is its stability. It just runs like a work horse. FreeBSD follows very strict principles once set. The number of exceptions to be faced during operating a FreeBSD machine are pretty much limited. All applications come via the ports tree and are delivered as source or as a binary. The user can decide on what level he/she can maintain the machine. The installation from source need compilations but it does not need any knowledge of programming. Following the same steps for all ports, is all the user has to do: cd to the directory in the ports tree make make install make clean I know some people who were to afraid to move to FreeBSD as they believed installing from source is equal to being a programmer. Yeah I know a lot of people like that :) I hope this will start a discussion to give you the strong points of FreeBSD you need for the article. Indeed, Erich. Your kind gesture and true words have been very helpful.

Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
Hello. Thank you all for everything so far. But I am not looking for comparisons. I am looking for stuff that has been written so that people can understand. Let's say this: Multi-threaded SMP architecture capable of executing the kernel in parallel on multiple processors, and with kernel preemption, allowing high priority kernel tasks to preempt other kernel activity, reducing latency. This includes a multi-threaded network stack and a multi-threaded virtual memory subsystem. With FreeBSD 6.x, support for a fully parallel VFS allows the UFS file system to run on multiple processors simultaneously, permitting load sharing of CPU-intensive I/O optimization. In the real world, that ought to sound more like: FreeBSD includes support for symmetric multiprocessing and multithreading. This makes the kernel lock down levels of interfaces and buffers, minimizing the chance of threads on different processors blocking each other, to give maximum performance on multiprocessor systems.

Hello. Here is what I see when I turn on my computer: F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk2 This doesn't look very good. How do I make it like this: F1 FreeBSD F2 Windows XP I heard I had to rewrite code.

Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet
Hello! I got this Broadcom BCM5751 network interface that works just great in FreeBSD. I was just wondering though, does anybody know where to find its Windows XP driver? I need it to function in both sceneries. I found an EXE on an Asus.com mirror, but it was some sort of floppy extractor and not really the actual driver, or so it seemed, that I was looking for. I ain't got no floppies anyway, they're all corrupt ;-) Thanks! -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dualboot confusion

But they don't seem to like each other: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad6s1a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 FreeBSD was installed on ad6. When connecting both harddrives, it's still ad6. It's hard for me to do anything after that, like specifying a manual boot, because I only have a USB keyboard doesn't work then.

How to replace words in all files?
Hello! I have a bunch of configuration files which all contain the word, or the reference to, my dysfunctional network interface lnc0. I used to have this simple script -- to replace a word in all ASCII files containing it -- with another word. In this case, I need to replace the string `lnc0' with `rl0' in all my configuration files. And is it possible having this script tell me what files it modified? I promise I'll write it down this time :) And be generous on handing it back out to the society! -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Big delay between login as: and Password:
Hello :) For some strange reason, this morning the delay disappeared! Define this a bit more. IE: from a remote PC, a remote site, etc. If its the latter, then the lagg would be the latency between point A and point B. Meaning, if the remote box is miles away, the route to it may be diverted in some magical way as only the internet can do. I am trying to connect to this server from the workstation behind it. It's in my attic, a few meters above my head. If however, the remote box is right next to you - well, who knows. I would also guess it would make a diff what you are running on the box you are ssh'in into, IE: Are you running X on it, is it hosting web pages, it is FTP, mail etc. No X, but I am running tons of daemons on it. Web, mail, FTP, SSH and all that. There are lots of factors but you need to be specific as to the environment. Know what I mean?

Most likely it has nothing to do with zsh. Once we had the same problem because one of the daemons (I think ident) was trying to connect back to the machine where connection was coming from to find out username there. And we had firewall that was blocking those connections. So, login had to wait till that daemon gave up. YMMV. -- Minds, like parachutes, function best when open That's strange.

Re: Big delay on login: What's wrong?
What up Andrei! I would simply change to some other shell and try to login. If delay disappears, then it's problem of zsh setup. If not, then it's problem outside of zsh. I used to run tcsh before this. No delay there, which brings me back to zsh. Again, my setup is the same as on a computer where there is no delay. Maybe because that's an Intel Pentium 3,2GHz whereas the one with the delay is only 120MHz. Still, it shouldn't be like this. Any idea? By the way, I like the slogan in your signature.

Big delay between login as: and Password:
Hey! I'm experiencing a rather unusual delay in between login as: and Password: when I SSH in via PuTTY -- it lasts for about 1 minute, maybe a bit more. How can this be? After I've logged in, there's an additional (5-10 seconds) delay in the loading of zsh. This happened after I switched from tcsh to zsh. I do not know whether the two delays are connected though. I know my server is slow (P120), but not that slow! http://www.home.no/hedhnta/zshrc http://www.home.no/hedhnta/zsh-x Can anyone help me?

Some strange USB issues ...
Hey! I have two problems, here on my FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. 1) My USB keyboard: I have a wireless HP (KBR0133) keyboard, as well as an old Compaq keyboard wired to my box. The weird thing is that they tend to switch who gets to work. If the wireless doesn't work, the wired one works, and vice versa. I have no idea what's going on. 2) I followed this setup for my USB mouse (HP MUR0208): http://www.freebsddiary.org/usb-mouse.php But the strange thing is, sometimes the mouse works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, the HP Wireless Desktop Receiver 1.0A doesn't allow its light to appear when I press the shiny black button. Again, I have no idea what's going on. Both have no problems in Windows XP. -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PF RULES! But mine doesn't ...
The rules I suggested are so that external machines can talk to your DNS server (querying about the domain it is authoritative for), and so that responses can get back to those machines. Your nameserver, however, may also be trying to get requests out. When it does this, by default, it will use a random source-port. By specifying options { query-source address * port 53; } in your named.conf, your nameserver will _also_ use port 53 as the source port on any requests _that it originates_. (That's the distinction). If you do this, then you won't need port 53 mentioned in your other keep state rule. I suspect that this might actually be the cause of your transient FTP concern; you should try modifying your nameserver config before you go any further. Great :) Thanks man, I'll try that. Isn't this something that ought to be in every named.conf? What ports do it go to by default? (This assumes that your resolv.conf is configured to use the local machine as a nameserver in the first instance. If that is not the case, then you will still need the port 53 clause in your DNS and NTP section, because other programs will use random ports in an attempt to get DNS queries out into the wild.) No, my resolv.conf contains my ISP's nameservers. Your ruleset looks pretty simple, to be honest. I've heard many experts say 'your ruleset looks like shit', maybe because they're jealous of my nice headers ;) Ok, so now my named.conf's option looks like this: options { directory /etc/namedb; pid-file /var/run/named/pid; query-source address * port 53; }; Should I specify where to log to? Because it doesn't log. I'm afraid that where the specifics of PF are concerned, I know nothing: the advice I've given you is just generic firewall stuff :-/ It looks to me like your PF config is set up to use some kind of FTP proxy running on localhost:8021. On the other hand, I could be barking up the wrong tree completely; I've pretty much run out of useful things to say about this config. Well you do seem to me like a jack of all trades.

PF RULES! But mine doesn't ...
Hello. My ruleset is all twisted.

On removing ^M
Good day all! I am aware of the port unix2dos (dos2unix) as a tool to remove ^Ms from ASCII files. But if you execute dos2unix in a directory where some files contain ^M (CR/LF) and some files don't (CR), then dos2unix will make a mess of those files who don't. I am wondering what is needed (what tool or what code) to do a mass (recursive) removal of ^Ms?

Re: What is --- WRONG --- with my network?
Hey! Offlist because this sounds like a general networking thing rather than anything fbsd-specific. Alright. But just incase though ... Name resolution of nextgentel.{com,net} looks ok from here, if those IP addresses are accurate. When you say your nameserver is broken, what exactly do you mean by that? What's the evidence? I know this sounds very strange; but I mean that everything depending on my nameserver doesn't work. I cannot visit http://www.example.com although apache2 is running. I cannot receive e-mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] although postfix is running. I cannot SSH to ninja.example.com although my sshd is running. I cannot FTP to ninja.example.com although the internal ftpd is running. That's for the incoming. For the outgoing, I can browse the WWW and make SSH/FTP connections to certain sites (sites which don't try to resolve my IP).

Re: What is --- WRONG --- with my network?
Hello Alex (and Jan)! It could be that type slave files need to go in the subdirectory slave and type master files need to go in the subdirectory master. named doesn't give me any errors. As I previously stated, my setup has been running flawlessly for months. Check you /var/log/messages for errors about this. That what I find strange too. /var/log/messages doesn't contain anything but the snort initialization! And /var/named/var/log is totally empty. Here is my security run though. Maybe PF is denying something by default? Even though I removed it from rc.conf at one time, and problems still persisted, there might have been something evil lurking in the back.

Want a logo competition? Do it properly.
Hey! I believe that the FreeBSD Project -- representing an open and democratic rule and not a totalitarian power -- should allow its users to decide what logo would be best suited. Hence, it would be in the best interest for the future of this project to put all logo submissions up for public display. This display should be complimented by a voting system. It is very important to get things right from the start. Look at the NetBSD Project and their new logo for instance. The public expressed great discontent about it, but only after the logo had sunken deep into the cycles of production and the mentalities of its contributors. Even though designers do this for free (and I am sure most act out of their love for the system and not because of the reward), the framework of their profession should still apply. That is, a contract protecting their rights from malicious intentions. The FreeBSD Project should acknowledge that the elected designer is entitled some say in the redesign of FreeBSD's website. Its coders would most likely not know the first thing about design, and hence compromise FreeBSD's image and its potential as conceived by the designer. If the website design also should be staged as a competition, it would be in the best interest of the project to let the identity designer cooperate with the website designer on the final outcome. We all want what is best for FreeBSD. Having said that, there should be no reason to fight over this.

Re: What is --- WRONG --- with my network?
Unfortunately, you appear to be preemptively rejecting the most obvious advice, and implicitly asking that people start troubleshooting from the middle. Was your machine up without reboot for months? If so, there's no guarantee that the state of named.conf actually reflects the state of the previously running named prior to a reboot (alas, I've seen this all too often). No, I had been rooting it quite often since I was testing PF. Can you begin by posting your fully-functional named.conf and resolv.conf? And possibly describing exactly what you mean by my nameserver is dysfunctional? Do you mean that you cannot resolve addresses from your host? Does dig work against your local nameserver instance? Can you see any of the root servers with dig? Is named just refusing to start? ... and so on. # cat /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf # options { directory /etc/namedb; pid-file /var/run/named/pid; }; zone . { type hint; file named.root; }; zone domain.com { type master; file db.domain.com; allow-transfer { 209.98.223.41; }; }; zone 3.0.7.5.0.0.4.0.8.1.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa { type master; file db.terrabionic.com.rev; allow-transfer { 209.98.223.41; }; }; zone terrabionic.lan { type master; file db.terrabionic.lan; }; zone 187.168.192.in-addr.arpa { type master; file db.terrabionic.lan.rev; }; zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa { type master; file db.localhost.rev; }; # cat /etc/resolv.conf # domain terrabionic.com nameserver 217.13.4.21 nameserver 217.13.7.136 You'll probably have to be more explicit about certain servers, too. Are they on-site? Off-site? If the latter, and the issue only appears with a subset of ssh servers, this may well be indicative of DNS problems again, since sshds can be configured to be more or less picky about the name resolution of their clients. They were off-site FTP servers, some inside Norway and some outside. I'm guessing it is those who check for reverse before they grant access. -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: A beautiful dmesg! Maybe one day?
Hello Mr. Nelson and Mr. Losh! It's easy enough to change the format string in subr_bus.c:device_print_prettyname() to pad out the devicename. I am not qualified to do this. I wish I were. How about you guys? :) However, you may prefer to just put up a splash screen (see the splash manpage), so the user doesn't even see the kernel messages at all. We can't just forget about it and pray for it to go away. This is an aesthetic violation to FreeBSD's professional image, that is considered to be more important now than ever. Now that we have logo and website design competitions going to completely revamp of the FreeBSD of the 70s, perhaps it's also time to update the ASCII design of this system? Many of his suggestions are subtle changes to the probe messages in addition to the format string. Warner Indeed they are subtle. But it's more like removing zits. With laser or whatever. :) -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mario, Nice ASCII logo. I work for poor people through UNDP. I am not a government nor Microsoft employee. (Ask Bill) A lot of people in poor and developing countries are already aware that they should move towards open source, and they themselves keep up with those master plans everyday ... That is true. They know they should move. But they do not really know how. I have seen the quality of many 3rd world country masterplans. They are poorly presented; their language and formatting is bad; and most of them aren't based on facts. Western masterplans are more decent and sustainable. If they were to be adapted to 3rd world conditions, perhaps the situation would progress angular, and 3rd world people wouldn't have to struggle to keep up with their masterplans.

Re: My BIND is tWisted!!!
Please do __NOT__ post your reply on top of a long quoted part of the original. Both top-posting and failing to trim quoted material to the absolutely minimum necessary size are considered bad netiquette on this list. Sorry! Having said that, you can check your /var/log/messages for interesting bits sent there by the named process as it starts: # tail -f /var/log/messages | grep named Then, restart your named and watch for interesting output. For extra bonus points, you can add a special named entry in your /etc/syslog.conf file: !named *.* /var/log/named.log which will direct only the messages from named to a special log file. Remember to restart syslogd after you add this to syslog.conf and then use tail -f on the named.log file to watch for named output. Then, after having all the necessary information from a named reload, you may have more hints and/or clues about what's wrong. There has never been anything interesting in /var/log, I am afraid.

Hello Joel! Pardon the top post, but master plans are for totalitarian governments and bureaucracies. Their sole purpose is to assist in perpetuating established institutions. (No institution is going to plan it's own demise. Oh, and how well they serve their purpose is a subject of some debate.) I meant the sort of masterplans that are for people to follow. And maybe, in some cases, democratic governments in countries where there is no such thing as established institutions. 3rd world governments have by now realized that it is wiser to privatize rather than to perpetuate -- which again brings up plans for people to follow. Maybe what you should be asking for is examples of business plans, although those are all too often used by the powers that be to keep small businesses from growing and threatening the status quo. Informal operating policies and such might also be of interest. Right now any example will do.
