Re: Request for mount_nfs assistance
Peter, The two lines shouldn't create a conflict, but it would seem to me to be more normal to append the second IP after the first, e.g.: /usr/home1 -maproot=root 192.168.0.252, 192.168.0.253 On the other hand, if the 253 machine doesn't need access it would be wise to remove the second line altogether and reduce any potential attack arising from that machine on the mount.

Re: hi
Cheza, This is almost certainly a sendmail problem. You don't say how your mail routing is supposed to work. Is, for instance, your sendmail meant to deliver the mail locally on the same machine? Does sendmail have to talk to another mail transfer agent to deliver the mail to another machine? It might be the case that your sendmail is not configured to: 1. Receive mail from the address you specify in php.ini/mail() 2. Listen on the correct ports (25) But I would expect to see an error displayed. You need to see whether the mail queue is filling up within sendmail. Quite possibly your sendmail queue is filling up but mails are being blocked by another server. Have you looked at the sendmail.mc or freebsd.mc file and reconstructed the sendmail.cf files using m4?

It sounds as though this is something to do with the DHCP client software,

Well I've done a bit of research now and decided on a Logitech
Optical Trackman and given up on the idea of a tablet, the
serial ones cost around £400 and that's too much for the use
it'd get. Shame, I'd have enjoyed a new toy...
See if you can find a old Acecad Acecat Flair. It is serial but
works pretty decent.y
I'll keep an eye out. Shame about the Wacom USB ones (albeit
they're not cheap), they look pretty good. A case of the more you
see the more you want...
On a really positive note I have to retrain myself to use a scroll
wheel with the trackman optical cordless now I got it working. I'm
still going to the right every time I want to move down.
In fact the documentation or getting odd rodents working under X is
not well documented in the handbook. Anyone wanna take me up on
that in the doc list?
I just plugged my mouse in and it worked. AFAIK you don't have to do
any thing moused if it is started at boot time. You will have to mess
with X to get the scroll wheel working.
Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse0
Driver mouse
Option Protocol auto
Option Device /dev/sysmouse
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
Hmm... I wonder if that is in the handbook...
Sadly it's not that simple. I agree that for most mice that should be
sufficient, however it looks as though the sysmouse mechanism doesn't
provide for a number of things when it's USB, when it's cordless (God
knows why that makes a difference,) etc.:
The section I've got in xorg.conf now looks like this:
Section ServerLayout
Identifier X.org Configured
Screen 0 Screen0 0 0
InputDeviceTouchpad CorePointer
InputDeviceUSBMouse AlwaysCore
InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard
EndSection
...
Section InputDevice
Identifier USBMouse
Driver mouse
Option Protocol Auto
Option Device /dev/ums0
Option Buttons 10
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
Option DragLockButtons 6
Option AngleOffset -7
EndSection
Section InputDevice
Identifier Touchpad
Driver mouse
Option Protocol Auto
Option Device /dev/psm0
Option Buttons 6
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7
EndSection
That seems to do it for X, but only if you disable moused, not only in
rc.conf, but also by commenting out the mouse line in usbd.conf as well,
otherwise X cannot communicate directly to the device in /dev and will
fail to start. E.g.;
# The entry below starts moused when a mouse is plugged in. Moused
# stops automatically (actually it bombs :) when the device disappears.
#
#device Mouse
# devname ums[0-9]+
# attach /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME}
-I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid -z 4 5 ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on
Without doing this I can use the trackball, but not the scroll wheel.
Well it works for me anyway.

Re: Free BSD 5.3 SMP Kernel
I'm just guessing, but it sounds like you come from a Linux background. What you want to do is roll your own kernel by copying the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYSYSTEMNAME Upper case system names are traditionally used for the kernel config file in unix. HP-UX is the same, IIRC. Edit in: quote # To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel device apic# I/O APIC /quote You will also want to change things like ident to MYSYSTEMNAME. There are a plethora of other options to have a play with as well. after you've finished editing go to /usr/src and run make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYSYSTEMNAME then make installkernel KERNCONF=MYSYSTEMNAME then reboot. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html will help you tremendously. Personally I find the whole process much simpler than configuring a Linux kernel.

Re: Large Backup with Amanda
Volker, When designing a backup strategy one of the most important considerations will be recovery. You haven't described what that requirement is so you should be careful of the answers you get! Amanda backups can use a version of the GNU tar which can be used to generate tar type backups if that is what you require. If you don't have a requirement for generating tape indexes, etc. you don't seem to get much benefit from using amanda to manage the write out to tape. However, there is the matter of transporting the data between backup servers for which amanda does seem to add some benefit. This is not much of an answer, so I hope it helps you a little. Regards, Jon Hello List, i have a little question. I have to backup nearly 330GB of Data in my company from different hosts. At this moment we have installed 2 Servers. One server catches all the backups from the different clients with amanda and makes a huge folder within all the backup-files.

Re:
Easiest way would be to reboot into single user mode, start the /bin/csh shell from the prompt, mount all the file systems and edit the /etc/passwd file back to a sensible shell. Following that, keep your linux administrator away from it, or put him on a course. ;-) I have a question. One of the new guys went into one of our BSD servers and changed the root environment from the default to /bin/bash and bash isn't installed on this box, therefore we are having trouble su'ing in and even logging in at the console. Anyone have any ideas on how to get in.

Re: wpc54g pcmcia
Anatoliy, Don't know whether you will have had an answer off thread but here is one to consider. The Broadcom chipset has been successfully made to run under FreeBSD, so there should not be a problem with the card per se. You will certainly need to get NDISulator (a.k.a. Project Evil) running and may have to ask on the mobile@ about successfully tried Windoze drivers to incorporate. The real problem you have is that your cardbus card is not being activated. There is a thread running now on mobile@ that seems to suggest that recent changes in CURRENT have broken cardbus support. Can I suggest following this thread and building against CURRENT when it appears to be fixed? 5.2.1p1 has been subject to a few advisories anyway so you really should be running a later patch set.

Re: portupgrade -arR fails - port/pkg-system no longer usable

Re: Clamd sendmail ??
I had this problem and traced it down to the fact that the default location where clamav puts its socket is wrong. After editing /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf so that LocalSocket looked like: # Path to the local socket. The daemon doesn't change the mode of the # created file (portability reasons). You may want to create it in a directory # which is only accessible for a user running daemon. LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock And the permissions on that directory are sorted (eg. clamav:clamav) it all worked out. Additionally, the logfile holds a wealth of info about what is going on.

Re: libjavaplugin_oji.so
It sounds like you are trying to build the native JDK 1.3 from ports. In order to do that you need to have a JDK already installed to 'bootstrap' from. The default method as specified in the makefile seems not to be working. Given I also had this problem, I found the best way around it was to install the Linux Blackdown JDK before attempting to install the BSD native one required for Mozilla. Once the Linux JDK is installed you can return to the build of the native JDK and specify WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP=yes. Once I had done that all worked fine.

Tape devices
Just a simple yes or no question: Under 5.1, is the nsa0 device the no rewind tape device, equivalent to nrsa0 under 4.x? Background is I'm trying to set up amanda, and tape device is the last peice of the jigsaw!
