NATD: net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept="1" vs firewall_type="OPEN"

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

Handbook section 31.9 describes the setup of NAT.

Section 31.9.3 suggests net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept="1" "during
the first attempts to setup a firewall and NAT gateway".

Section 31.9.5 suggests I "specify a predefined firewall ruleset that
allows anything in" with firewall_type="OPEN"

Question: What is the difference between these two configurations (or
where can I go to learn the difference between the two)?

Thank you,

Chris

NAT: Handbook vs mailing list

[Chris Stankevitz]

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-natd.html

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-April/229017.html

Hello,

Handbook section 31.9.3 suggests I should, among other things, add the
line ipdivert_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf when setting up NAT.

The mailing list message linked above suggests that the handbook
information is the "old way" and that the correct way is to set
ipfw_enable and natd_enable in rc.conf.  "Then /etc/rc.d/ipfw will
load ipfw.ko, and if natd_enable is set, will invoke /etc/rc.d/natd,
which loads ipdivert.ko at the right time."

My inclination is to follow the handbook, but I thought I should first
check to ensure the handbook is up-to-date.

Thank you,

Chris

Re: which port (qt4 part?) contains linguist.dcf et al.?

[Chris Kelley]

Fair enough. I grabbed that from a vanilla 9.1-RELEASE install that hasn't had 
any updates to the tree.
I now see that it has been removed after updating the ports tree on that box.

/usr/ports.old/x11-toolkits/qt33 # cat distinfo 
SHA256 (KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2) = 
e8c3f703d00a4e2ab9ba63fd474caa8a9d0aa3d7f1d5451dd162bec9d778a449
SIZE (KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2) = 14360483

Looks like it's still available here (sha256 matches):
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2


Cheers,
Chris

Just a quick search through ports/x11-toolkits:

ab failing with Operation not permitted

[Chris Smith]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with ab shipped with apache22 from 9.1 binary 
packages. I am currently running a trial to replace our Debian kit with 
FreeBSD as we've had numerous problems. It will be hosting a few web apps,
postfix, dovecot virtual, postgres, SVN etc. I'm a little rusty as I'm
coming back to FreeBSD from a long holiday in Linux-land since FreeBSD 
4.4 :)

Anyway, ab is failing as follows:

# ab -n 1 -c 50 http://hostname/
...usual junk scrolls past
Completed 4000 requests

Test aborted after 10 failures

apr_socket_connect(): Operation not permitted (1)
Total of 4531 requests completed
#

I suspect this is a sysctl that needs poking somewhere or a limit 
somewhere. Any help appreciated on this one.

Thank you for the detailed description of what resource forks are.  One
more clue in this mystery is that appending .mov extension to it fixes the
problem.  I have never ran into this before, and I have even used rsync to
back up movie projects before.  It is not a big deal, but I always try to
take the time to understand why things behave the way they do.  I also
suspect it has something to do with file size since all of the smaller
files do not have this issue.

Checksums are the same.  All other files still work however the HUGE
rendered Final Cut Pro output, so I guess it is something in .DS_Store.
 Last time I just gave up and recopied everything by a simple cut and paste
and that solved the problem.  I made a small change on the project today,
and I don't want to have to copy the WHOLE thing again just for a small
delta.  I already synced the directories, but the new rendered files are
still un-openable in any application even though the checksums match.
 Really weird.  However, the project will still open and work on FCP.  Just
the 12Gb rendered movie files will not play on anything even FCP.  If I
delete .DS_Store will the system regenerate it with the appropriate file
associations?

I know this is a little off topic, but Mac OSX is based on BSD.  You guys
are also the smartest around :D

That could be the issue.  I did see some permission warnings with
.DS_Store.  However, to make space I had to dump all of it, so no files to
do a post mortem on.  I will have to check that out if things go awry this
time.

Yep, the files copied, and I used "touch" to force them to recopy.
 However, the files that were copied are not recognizable by their native
aps.  Just big junk files.  I have no clue what happened.  I am just
copying everything by a simple cut and paste this time.  However, this
directory is HUGE and I won't know until about 18 hours from now.

OT: rsync on Mac OSX

[Chris Maness]

I have been using rsync with Mac OSX with no issues until today.  I
generally use it instead of the copy command because if the copy fails on
large files, I can pick up where I left off.  I have backed up entire Final
Cut Pro projects this way with no issues.  However, I recently synced a
drive to a folder in another drive, and the OS does not recognize the final
rendered files as quicktime files.  The files work fine in the parent
drive.  I have no idea what might be going on.  I used the flags: rsync
-vaur like I always do.  Any suggestions?

Paul, which version did you patch for?  It doesn't seem to be the latest or

are missing any of the other contributions out there.  I think there were a
total of three patches before yours.

On closer inspection it looks like the moons in the right spot, but the Sun
is in the wrong spot.  I will take a look and see if there is no error in
the lines that deal with the Sun's Az/El.  I have the original code that
was scanned from a USNO document.  The OCR was rather sloppy.  I will post

Thanks a ton Greg.  It is crashing here too.  I am not sure as to the
cause.  I made a small patch to place on top of yours.  There is a typo
that outputs the sun position as DOG instead of DEG.  Here it is:

Since I updated to 9.1-RELEASE my boot process seems to stall for a

Opening device da2 ->  6 (repeated like 30 times or so)
Opening device da3 ->  6 (repeated like 30 times or so)

Those devices correspond to my internal SD card reader that doesn't
work on FreeBSD anyway. This seems some kind of probing right? I don't
want to wait for those devices. What can I do to speed up booting? I
didn't change my system settings either. Did anything related change
in the kernel about probing these type of devices?


Since you are not using the device could you not just disable it in the 
BIOS?

OK, but is this really something the OS should handle?  I'm sure sleep
`expr 3600 \* 2` will suffice and is perfectly readable, including being
more portable.

Why should we keep putting these weird "extensions" in?  At some point it
just becomes fiddling, and yet another source of error when porting

Hello,

I posted this once already, but I wasn't subscribed at the time and
I don't think it got posted to the list. Hopefully this isn't a
dupe.

I've installed FreeBSD 9.1 RELEASE on a family member's laptop, a
Toshiba Satellite 5100. Said member was using a Linksys WPC54g v.4
pcicard for wireless. I downloaded the v.4 drivers for the card
from the Cisco website and was able to use ndisgen to build a
wrapper for the driver.


Hi,

I have a PCMCIA WPC54g V5 which works with malo(4). It might work with 
your V4. You need to download some firmware - see the man page.


Chris



There were no errors during the build and I'm able to load the
resultant ndis, but aside from some initial static when the ndis is
loaded the card is not being configured. ndis0 doesn't show in the
dmesg and doesn't appear in the ifconfig output.

Before I built the wrapper I had updated my source, base and
userland so all of that should have been up to date for the system I
was building it against.

I'm getting to the point where I'd rather spend the cash on
something compatible from Free's hardware list, but I'd like to give
this ndis thing one more go before I tell this family member to
chuck the card.

I have "makeoptions NO_MODULES=yes" statement in my kernel config file
and the "blanktime" and "warp_saver" load modules don't get created.

I need the options statements for those items so I can compile then into
the kernel.


Would it be /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES ?

%grep warp_saver /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES

And isn't blanktime set in rc.conf?

%grep blank /etc/defaults/rc.conf

Re: Upgrade causes loss of all firefox settings (?)

[Chris Whitehouse]

On 12/02/2013 21:38, Ronald F. Guilmette wrote:


In general, I don't upgrade my ports very often, so up until recently
I was running a fairly old version of firefox (firefox-15.0.1,1).

But over the weekend, I moved everything over to a new drive
containing the latest 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD, and with a complete set
of freshly rebuilt ports, including the latest firefox 18.0.1.
(As part of this process, I copied my entire /home directory over
to the new drive.)

So anway, mostly everything is still working ok, however at some
time during this process, firefox apparently lost track of all
of my personal settings... my start page, all of my bookmarks,
and all of my saved web site user IDs an passwords.

I looked in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file for some clue as to why
this might have happened and found none.

Looking into this issue a bit deeper, I've now learned that all of
one's personal settings are stored in a directory having a name which
has the following general form:

~/.mozilla/firefox/.default

where the "" part is some eight character apparently random
combination of lower case letters and digits.

The odd thing is that it appears that all of my old firefox setting
are still alive and well and living under a subdirectory of the
~/.mozilla/firefox directory called "4up9dkb1.default".  However it
does also appear that my execution of firefox, for the first time, on
this new system I've been putting together has resulted in the creation
of a brand new parallel subdirectory, located in the same directory as
my original personal settings .default directory, but this new one is
named "nh2ykiym.default".  And now, firefox is apparently saving and
retrieving my (new set of) personal settings out of that new directory.

So, um, what gives?  Why did this happen?  And more to the point,
can I get back all of my personal settings just via the following
seemingly intutive commands:

rm -fr nh2ykiym.default
mv 4up9dkb1.default nh2ykiym.default

or will that break something else in some obscure but annoying way?


Is there a file .mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini? If so it should list 
which profile to use. Just change it to the one you want and it should 
just work.


I'm using an older version so don't know how the latest works

Dave, how would I add this to the MC file instead of the CF file?  I
usually rebuild these after an upgrade or a configuration change, and
I would rather do it in the MC file for that reason.

Of course, this would work. But then all existing files of the existing
FreeBSD would be without owner.


The current user is: rocketmouse
The uid is : 1001

Isn't it possible to change the uid to 1000?
This would cause that the owner wouldn't be rocketmouse anymore, but
still 1001. I then could run chown -R for /home/rocketmouse to switch
from 1001 to back to rocketmouse = new uid 1000.


You would need to do two changes: First in the password database,
with chsh (tidy way) or by editing the /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd
and /etc/group files plus rebuilding the database with pwd_mkdb
(untidy way) to assign rocketmouse = 1000 on FreeBSD.


Could you do this with pw(8)?
# pw usermod rocketmouse -u 1000
checking first there isn't a uid 1000 already.

Then chown -R

Chris



Then you would also have to "promote" this change to the file
system, as all the files still belong to a user with UID 1001.
Use chown -R with the new numerical value of 1000.

Result: Your user would have the UID 1000 on all systems, so
all the "low level functions" would behave similarly.




Or another idea would be to create a new user with the uid 1000 and then
to add rocketmouse to the group of this user. I guess this is what you
already recommended.


Yes, that would also work. You only have to make sure that
group permissions are valid, and the "access permission" is
provided in /etc/group properly.

To parse it out, I've used something like:

$ ls -lh npviewer.bin.core | cut -d \  -f 9
186M

After the backslash are two spaces: one being the space that's being 
escaped to make it the delimiter, the other to separate the options.


The number after the '-f' determines which "field" of the output is 
displayed, which may vary.

In that case, you are not using static IPs. If your ISP has assigned you 
- as in Poly's example - 123.456.789.1 through 123.456.789.25, then 
those addresses are for your use to assign as you see fit. You would 
configure this machine's interface for any address in that block. You 
can then configure the same interface for more than one of those, or use 
your extra IPs for other machines (or interfaces). Instead of 
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" in rc.conf, you might have 
ifconfig_xl0="123.456.789.16 255.255.255.128" or some such.

 I built the world with DEBUG_FLAGS=-g, and installed new zfsboot and zfsloader 
on my sparc64.  However, "ctrace" isn't helpful:

>> FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block
   Boot path:   /pci@1c,60/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a

No saved state

 Anything else you can suggest to get debugging information out of zfsloader?

  Thank you.  I can rebuild everything with DEBUG_FLAGS=-g.  But do I need to 
do that in only boot?

  And, that message says:

  But, I'm not sure what "the boot monitor prompt" refers to, where i'm 
supposed to enter "ctrace".  When the boot crashes, I'm left at the open prom.  
Is that where I'm supposed to enter "ctrace"?  Apologies if so, I just haven't 
known of that OBP command previously.

  Thank you.  I'll try to come up with the debugging output you're requesting.  
And more directions would be appreciated.

  Okay.  It occurred to me today what was likely the problem.  I was running, 
even when single user, off of the zfs pool on the disks I was trying to write 
the bootloader to.

  I tar'd up /boot after my recent install from a Dec 22 9-stable, and moved it 
off-host.  Then, I booted off of the July stable-9 CD-ROM I have in the 
machine, and was able to write bootblocks (with gpart bootcode) and a 
bootloader (dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/${disk}a bs=512 oseek=1024 
conv=notrunc).

  Now, the new problem.  When I try to boot my sparc64 with these bits, I see:

>> FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block
   Boot path:   /pci@1c,60/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a
Consoles: Open Firmware console  
ERROR: Last Trap: Division by Zero

{1} ok

  So, does anyone know if something has gone unstable in the sparc64 zfsboot in 
recent months?  If I boot from the cdrom again and load the July zfsboot via 
gpart bootcode, it boots correctly again.

  Thanks.  Any feedback appreciated.

Changes to kern.geom.debugflags?

[Chris Ross]

  I had brought up a machine months ago with freebsd-9-stable.  I configured it 
to boot off of a single disk, with ZFS, expecting I would likely later attach 
the other disk to the zpool.  I tried to do that today, but find that I can't 
write the bootloader to either disk.

  Google searching shows what I used last time, that if you get a:

gpart: /dev/da0a: Operation not permitted

  you need to run

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10

  But, that doesn't change anything for me now.  I can write the boot label 
(using gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot ${disk}) to neither disk, getting the 
same error in both cases.

  Has something changed recently?  I'm currently using a Dec 22 9-stable 
codebase, built locally with GENERIC kernel.

Is this a copy/paste error, or is your function actually called
_ck4fifo or _ch4fifo?

> ${name}_ch4fifo()

I'm surprised sh isn't choking on this, you can't use ${name} in a
function name.  Indirecting it is a waste of processing time, if I'm
honest; just use

start_precmd=pads_agent_prestart

pads_agent_prestart()
{
 do_something
}

We always have search and replace in case you choose to modify $name :)

This tells you that the module in question has already been loaded, or

The 'none..' tells you that no driver was attached to the device.

I suspect that Alexander Kapshuk's reply is relevant here: that your 
Atheros card is not supported by the driver.


I know it's not much help, but maybe it's nonzero. Good luck.

Still works fine for nearly all ports, but just for apache ports there
appears to be subtle problems with the logic since it's so
complicated.  That's why Olli chose to disable the WITH_ option style
for Apache, and I think it was the right decision.

I would suggest you learn the new (just as simple) syntax and see how
you get on with it :)

There are examples on the Wiki page already, but in a confusing order.

True, but some people like to share their make.conf around machines :)

Thanks for copying me in, I'm not on this list.

You're very close!

You need to use ${UNIQUENAME}_SET, and to find the UNIQUENAME you need to;

[crees@pegasus]~% cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
[crees@pegasus]/usr/ports/www/apache22% make -VUNIQUENAME
apache22

Now we know it's apache22, we can use:

# (No need to bother with .if ${.CURDIR} any more)

apache22_SET+= SUEXEC
SUEXEC_DOCROOT= /www
SUEXEC_USERDIR= /www/*/cgi-bin
SUEXEC_LOGFILE= /var/log/suexec.log

I'm not sure what APACHE_PERF_TUNING is; you may find it's been
deprecated.  Check with apache@ about that.  If I've somehow missed
that, you can just add it to the apache22_SET list:

apache22_SET+= SUEXEC APACHE_PERF_TUNING

Hope that helps!

FreeBSD Install Problem

[Chris Neudorf]

Hello,

I have a problem installing FreeBSD 9.0 Releaseon my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i 
laptop (4GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 32-bit). It doesn't matter if I tried installing it 
from the CD or the DVD, I still have the same problem. I even tried 
re-downloading and re-burning a new CD or DVD, and I'm still unable to install. 
I even have problems going through the "sysinstall" route.


In the installation process, I'm able to go far to the partitioning area in 
where the problem occurs. I click for "Guided" partitioning and then I receive 
this "Abort" message:

Abort
--

An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the 
installation or exit the installer?

---
[ Restart ]     [ Exit ]

-

When I click restart I end up with the same result, and I end up in a 
neverending cycle of unable to install.


(I even have a the same problem installing from GhostBSD.) 



Is there any remedies to this problem? 


Thank you so much,

--Christopher

To whom may concern,

I am a greenhorn in the field of freebsd.And when I install
Freebsd9.0 on my laptop HP NX6330,a control spam "acpi_tz0: _CRT

I created a custom ASL as a workaround.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2009-March/005558.html

You can see that I changed the line that says
Return (C316 (0x04, 0x00))
to say
Return (C316 (0x00, 0x02))
which on my laptop gives a temperature of 95C




I learned some reference about sysctl and revised the configure file
sysctl.conf,adding two lines below into sysctl.conf:
hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT=110.0C but
the control spam remains.


Good try but hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT gets set back to -1
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2009-March/005549.html



I read the source code about acpi_thermal.c,but still have no idea
about how to solve this problem.I am a little desperated and turn
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org for help.Would you please send me a
solution?


I think the steps are
1) dump your ASL as per
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html
starting at section 12.17.4 ASL, acpidump, and IASL

2) open your dumped ASL in a plain text editor (vi, joe, ...) and modify 
the value of "Method (_CRT, 0, Serialized)".


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2009-March/005562.html
shows you some values you can use. Others may work as your ASL is almost 
certainly different from mine.


3) recompile your modified ASL and load it, following section 12.17.4 
ASL, acpidump, and IASL in the handbook.


4) restart your computer and check the value of hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT

If it doesn't work go back to step 2.

YMMV (that means my laptop is running fine several years later but don't 
blame me if yours blows up :) )

Hi Warren,


thanks. Tried with the firmware as well but no better luck. On closer 
inspection of the bwn manual, it seems like the 4313 is not on the list of 
suppored versions.

What I did find though was that it is supposedly possible to get working using 
NDIS (even with amd64) as per this PC-BSD wiki page 
http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Wireless_Testing


I might try the NDIS, but will first see if I can find a USB card as the 'net 
seems to be full of talk about instability of the NDIS driver for the 4313.


Thanks to everyone for the help!

Hi Waltman, jb and Daniel,
(sorry for not replying to the latest email in the thread, something is wrong 
with my email account)

Thanks very much for the help, it is really appreciated.
I called Lenovo support and the only info they had was that it was "an Intel 
card", so that's the same info as jb had tracked down (and I also found myself).

Using pciconf as per jb's hint tells me it is a broadcom I have:

none3@pci0:3:0:0:   class=0x028000 card=0x060814e4 chip=0x472714e4 rev=0x01 
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller'
class  = network


As per the release notes for 9.0 
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/hardware.html#WLAN), the bwn(4) driver be 
the one to use.

Added the following to my /boot/loader.conf following the instructions in 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html and rebooted.

if_bwn_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"


(also tried the bwi(4) driver instead of bwn)

I still don't get anything in dmesg or ifconfig. So either I have missed some 
step, or this specific card isn't supported by the bwn/bwi drivers.
Anyone have any further ideas?
If not, I'll try to track down some USB WLAN card that is supported, as I've 
also heard the same thing as Daniel, i.e. that non-Lenovo cards are blocked by 
the BIOS if you try to replace the default one.

BR,

Wifi for Lenovo Laptop

[Chris]

Hi,


I've tried to search the lists but can't find anything, but please point me to 
an existing resource if available.

I recently got a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 (3259-9VG) laptop and would like to 
get the Wifi card running (fresh FreeBSD 9.0 install), but I'm failling as it 
has been at least 5 years since I used with wifi under FreeBSD. The card is not 
automatically detected (interface not listed in ifconfig) so I'm assuming I 
have to either load a kernel module or go the NDIS path. It seems like on 
Windows, the same driver is used for E430, E435, E530 and E535, so in case 
anyone is using one of these models, please let me know if have things running.

So some questions that might point me in the right direction:

- How can I find out which type of card this laptop actually has (can I read it 
out of dmesg, some PCI listing or whatever)? 
  All I can find are product sheets saying that it has 11b/g/n, but doesn't 
help me to find a driver. I
  Is there some "meta-module" that loads all the native wifi drivers that I can 
use that I can test?
- If I need to use NDIS emulation, does anyone think it will work for this 
model/card? Windows drivers can be found here 
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/default.page).
  The handbook 
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html#CONFIG-NETWORK-NDIS)
 says I need Win XP drivers, is that old text or do I need that? I can't find 
XP drivers on the lenovo page...
- If NDIS should be possible, how do I extract the .sys and .inf file from the 
exe that I downloaded from the URL above (I don't have any Windows machine 
right now).

TIA,

Subject: Repeaters [off topic]
To: 

I'm using a repeater to grab a wireless signal and pass it to my local
(wired) lan. For various reasons I won't go into a repeater is, in
theory, the best way to do this. However, I'm having trouble finding a
repeater that isn't garbage. I've been through 2 Linksys units, both of
which required constant reboots and both of which died after almost
exactly a year. I tried a Hawking HWREN1 which is still working after
slightly more than a year but has trouble with encrypted traffic and
also requires frequent reboots. I also tried a Hawking HW2R1, which was
much less flaky than the HWREN1 and handled encrypted traffic OK, but
died after about 3 months.

Since these things cost $100-$140 apiece, it would be cost effective to
to pay more for a unit that worked consistently and didn't die after a
few months of light use. Has anyone on the list used a repeater that
they had good experience with?

Yes. The version distributed by the ports collection is different

Locally modifying ports

[Chris Ross]

  So, I've been a NetBSD user for many years, and am looking more
at FreeBSD now.  Trying to build myself a system, I find that I have a
long-held delta to a package on my NetBSD system, and I keep it
in a patch-local-* file in NetBSD pkgsrc.

  I can't figure out if FreeBSD ports has a way to keep and automatically
apply "local" patches to ports.  I want to modify the way the internals of
a package/port operate, and not in a way that makes sense to move up-
stream.  It's just my preference.

  Is there a way in FreeBSD ports to keep a "make this change to the
source code after extracting and before compiling" type of thing in the
tree?

  Thanks

  - Chris

Re: usb identity issue

Can anyone point me to any articles on this issue.

Is there a command like usbconfig (saw this mentioned in an email 
question but it doesnt work) to bring this up on screen?


I don't know of any articles, but here is what I do:

$ uname -r
8.0-STABLE
$ ls /dev | grep ^da

(note that there is nothing found) ...and then plug in the thumb drive 
and do it again:


$ ls /dev | grep ^da
da0
da0s1
$

...and now I can mount it. Since this drive is a FAT32 filesystem, I use 
mount_msdosfs. Having an entry in /etc/fstab is a convenience but not 
strictly necessary.


Dmesg of the booted units shows da1 mostly but this identity cant be 
accessed on any of them.


After pluggin in my thumb drive, my dmesg shows

da0:  Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 7629MB (15625216 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 972C)

Note that while dmesg only shows da0, my `ls /dev` also shows da0s1. You 
may need to use /dev/da1s1 or similar (depending on what you see from 
`ls /dev`) in your mount command. Try a few permutations.

Empty password behaviour is for no prompt, so what you are seeing is
normal, and means that you did indeed have a empty password.

Check your logs very carefully over the past few weeks to make sure no one

Qustion part one:

Prepare a USB stick with the FreeBSD "memstick edition".
You'll find instructions on how to do that on the FreeBSD
website, as well as the installation media.

Preparation: Make sure you have _free_ disk space. This
means: Do not create any DOS partitions, just leave it
"empty" and let the installer perform the required tasks
of partitioning and formatting.



If you have XP on the other partition you will need to install FreeBSD 
using the "old style" MBR partitioning scheme. See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html


You might want to consider sticking with FreeBSD 8.3 which I think only 
supports MPR partitioning. FreeBSD 9.0 supports both MBR and the newer 
GPT scheme so you would have to work out how to choose during the 
installation.

I tend to use full path names in my shell scripts.
So for shits n giggles, try that.
Instead of tar cfz postgresql.tgz *
Try /bin/tar cfz postgresql.tgz *  etc, etc, etc

Use the paths for all commands such as rm, psql, logger etc.

Good point, I didn't take into account the command goes about a month
back. I run FBSD in a vbox, and its only console anyways.

I run Debian by default but in any event, there are many reasons for
reboots and for me (typically) I see about 4 reboots a month mostly due
to patching and sec-fixes.

So indeed, YMMV is correct.

My fault for the assumption that folks boot more often than not.

Because I learned something by doing it.

As I mentioned previously, the last command lists when the system was 
rebooted.


I'm not sure it does:

$ last reboot
wtmp begins Fri Jun  1 08:31:38 EDT 2012
$ uptime
 9:30PM  up 529 days,  8:25, 4 users, load averages: 0.02, 0.18, 0.17

...and even so, would it show a cold boot, or only a reboot?

I'll credit Doug Hardie with the best solution:
$ ls -l /var/run/dmesg.boot
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7248 Dec 26  2010 /var/run/dmesg.boot


Keep well,


You too.

You don't say which version of FreeBSD you're using, but older
versions of FreeBSD had the option to specify a maximum number of
pseudo-device to allow.  For example

pseudo-device   tun1   # Tunnel driver(user process ppp)

In your kernel would only allow for 1 tun device to be created.

If you're using an older (5.x / 4.x) version of FreeBSD, I'd say check
your kernel config.  Nut sure whether this is still relevant in newer
versions of FreeBSD, but documentation suggest that it is no longer
the case with newer versions.

Dear folks,

How can I add the capability of viewing djvu files to say xpdf or gv

Or is there a small djvu viewer available in ports that can be 
installed easily?


You can install the port "ImageMagick" with support for djvu
format. To view a file, simply call "display ". Not tested.


Be aware that ImageMagick is the opposite of small.

Re: ACPI temprature settings [WAS: Re: laptop very hot and noisy]

I removed a lot of dust from the fan

I prop my mine up off the desk to get better airflow to the fan intake 
which is on the underside. The fan slows down when I lift it up 
indicating it is moving more air.




I rebuilt gcc47 and saw the highest temperature of 75.
This is on the southern side, so not too bad. The
noise reduced too.

Now, I'd just like to understand better the
meaning of these console messages:

Where are setpoints defined?
What's acpi_tz?
What are AC1, AC2, AC3?
Which kernel tunables are involved in the
switching from one fan speed to another
(assuming AC1, AC2, AC3 are related to fan
speed in some way)?

I had a quick look at ⌡aacpi(4),
but none of the above are mentioned.

Many thanks for all your help.

Google for "acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd,  ignored" and you will find 
a long thread with some hopefully useful pointers. You may need to bone 
up on the ACPI reference and custom ASL's for FreeBSD. I've forgotten 
most of it now but I think you will find references for both of them in 
that thread.

There is a video there that displays perfectly in MS Windows in either

work under Firefox when used in MS Windows.

Does anyone have a possible solution?

I will check that option out.  I don't reboot that often, but when I
do, I always forget to go back in and add my static routes.

I've wondered this for ages. When you set up networking as part of

There have been a few domains which are permanently reserved and will
never be assigned elsewhere:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt

You can reasonably claim to be part of your ISP's domain, if you
prefer. .lan might be reasonable, or .local, although the latter
might conflict with Bonjour/Zeroconf.


I've never supplied a domain name when installing FreeBSD and it
doesn't seem to have been a problem. I'm just setting up dhcp for
the first time and I don't know if it matters here.


It's mainly used to setup the default search domain which clients use
to find local unqualified hosts.

Thanks Chuck, I went with .lan.
