Cannot install on HP Pavilion
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 Release on an HP Pavilion Slimline (model s5-1414); I get through the installation fine, but when I re-boot, the machine gives an: ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. I looked around for suggestions via mailing list archives, google, and such but no luck (or perhaps the wrong search terms). Details: I've been using FreeBSD for more years than I care to admit (i.e. more than 10); I'm generally pretty familiar with the process and the installer, but am by no means an expert The target machine is a model s5-1414, product # H3Y75AA#ABA I went through the whole process: re0 configured using DHCP * guided partition; using the whole disk ada0 ada0p1 64kbfreebsd-boot ada0p2 927GB freebsd-ufs / ada0p3 4GB freebsd-swapnone commit = yes * fetched distribution files (e.g. base, kernel, doc, games, ports, src) * root password; setup user OK on boot, the error (above) is generated the BIOS is an HP/American Megatrends ver. 2.15.227 relevant (?) settings include: * Storage: SATA Emulation: AHCI Boot Order: (I've tried just about everything), but the relevant part seems to be that the Legacy devices never "work" * Security: Legacy: enable Secure boot: disable Fast boot: disable Please let me know if there's anything else you would care to know or see.

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Depending upon what your budget is, Tranzeo has some excellent wireless products that are ideal for point-point links. Encryption is built-in and they can be configured for point-point or point-multipoint (just in case the project expands). One problem that you may run into, if both sides of the link are close to the ground, is the "fresnel zone". If one side is higher than the other, this shouldn't be a problem. Two self contained POE radios with built-in antanna should run you about $500 and they can be mounted on standard satellite dish arms. I've also used mikrotik products and have generally been very happy with them. There is a ton of functionality and I actually use two of them for my core routers at my current job. I think for this project they are overkill and there is quite a bit of a learning curve to get them up and running. If you don't plan on deploying anything else, I think that you will find that the tranzeo's are a simpler solution.

List, I have been tasked with getting a DSL connection across about 10km of no-man's-land to a rural location without internet access.

Authenticating proxy server with fine tuned controls
Hi- I am looking for an authenticating transparent proxy server with tiered access. ie, A user who logs into the proxy can access sites based upon group membership; group1 has unfettered access to the internet, group2 gets filtered access. Ideally, I'd like to be able to setup groups for various sites and add/subtract users to allow access to various internal sites. As a diagram, I'd like to do this: Group1:Unfettered access to internet Group2:Filtered access to internet Group3:Access to internal website x Group4:Access to internal website y If user1 is in Group1 and Group3 they can access the internet and internal website x If user2 is in Group2 they can only access filtered websites. If user3 is in Group2 and Group4 they get filtered internet access and access to internal website y Is their an open-source or commercial product that provides for this type of granular control of access? I've setup squid with authentication before, although it was several years ago, but I didn't need to have that granular of a control set.

Re: Wierd Network problem
Yes, I could use something other than cpanel, and directadmin was actually one of my choices but unfortunately, that decision was not mine. I'm only responsible for getting the software that was chosen to work. My issue with the patch was that it was written for if_bge.c dated in March 2006 and I actually compiled a new kernel using the release from December 2006. Everything that I read about the bug said that it was fixed in the 6.2-release tree so I thought that would be ok. Tcpdumps did show massive amounts of bad chksum's from packets off of the network so it looks as though that was my issue. Not sure why it didn't work after the recompile. I ended up having to install a new card and a linksys gigabit card is working nicely now. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Re: Wierd Network problem
Yes, I have tried different cables, even different physical ports (although same type of port). There was a bug filed against 6.1 for the bge interfaces that maybe related, although the bug indicated absolutely no network conductivity. There was a patch released and I'm trying to recompile with that patch. I must admit I'm having a hard time figuring out how to apply the patch but once I get past that hurdle I'll see what happens. If I can't ge the bge interface working my next best solution will be to just install another card in one of the pci slots and use that instead. Ideally, I would upgrade to 6.2 but cpanel won't support 6.2 so I'm stuck on 6.1 for the time being.

Wierd Network problem
I have a dell poweredge 6650 installed with freebsd 6.1 and on the local router, everything works great (ie, a computer on a different subnet off the same router can access it fine) but coming from outside of the network access is incredibly slow. My first thought was that it must be a routing issue, but I have two other freebsd 6.1 servers on that same subnet and I can access them fine from outside. I dug a little further and compared the servers that are working with those that are not and these are the differences that I have found. On the servers that are working (dell poweredge 2450's) the interface is an fxp0 and here is the output of ifconfig: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee1:f66a%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.2 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:b0:d0:e1:f6:6a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active on the server that is not working: bge0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=1b inet6 fe80::211:43ff:fedc:9aa2%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.10 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:11:43:dc:9a:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active The first thing that i noticed is that on the option line there is quite a bit of difference between the two. So using the command line ifconfig tool I removed RXCSUM, TXCSUM from the bge0 interface. Voila! Speed increased and the server was actually accessible from off net. Unfortunately, as soon as I tried to access any other port, the interface crashes. Eventually the watchdog picks up on that and restarts the interface. But the problem is completely repeatable. The server that I am having problems with is running cpanel 10.9; the two that are working are running the dns-only version of cpanel. I am not picking up any errors in the logs. This could be related to cpanel, or not, I'm not really sure, although it shouldn't be. The other unique thing about the setup, that very well may be affecting is that the router in question has two subnets configured on the internal port. There is a nat'd subnet for our local users and there is the public subnet that these servers sit on. The final resting place for all three is in a datacenter that isn't built yet, so rather than reconfigure everything once that was done I simply routed the final subnet to our office and set it up their. The router is a mikrotik RB112 board which only has one ethernet port so I couldn't dedicate a port for the new subnet. As I said, my first thought was that the problem was in the router, but the other two servers are running fine. Any suggestions?

Re: FreeBSD 6.2 Boot Issue
Sorry if this is obvious but I just did this myself with similar problems. Is your /boot a seperate partition? If so, bsd will not boot. It will happily install but will come back with a no kernel found error or similar. I believe this is because only the / partition is mounted at that point. Hope this helps.

Re: Cant boot fresh install of freebsd 6.2 or dell poweredge 6650
Very newbie mistake, which I finally figured out. That will teach me to read the vendors instructions more carefully than the OS documentation. Basically the problem was that I followed the instructions of the software that I will be installing on this server for the partitioning scheme. They recommended a seperate partition for "boot" and this evidently does not work for freebsd, which makes sense since it probably isn't mounted at boot time. As I was looking through the bsd install guides, I noticed this was never done so I gave that a try and voila!, everything works as expected.

Cant boot fresh install of freebsd 6.2 or dell poweredge 6650
I am a newbie using freebsd and have run into a problem on a new install on a dell poweredge 6650. I am installing to a hardeware raid 1 on an LSI Logic raid controller. The installation appears to go well but after a reboot the freebsd boot manager comes up with F1 to boot Freebsd (or default) and then it complains of no boot loader followed by a "no /boot/kernel/kernel" error. The default boot parameter is 0:ad(0,d)/boot/kernel/kernel I've tried different slices with the same results. I have tried using the MBR instead of the freebsd boot manager. I have tried different bios settings on the raid card (LSI logic in the poweredge 6650). I'm not really sure what to try next. I've even tried to install it on a different machine on a single sata drive with the same result. I am obviously doing something wrong but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Thank you for any help or direction you can provide.

If you install software when your hard drive has bad sectors then the software your installing may be written around those areas, possibly won't run properly (if at all) and cause the system to become unstable which would then result in further data loss. Also, bad sectors are like a disease and continue to `spread' the more it's used. - Russell DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.

Installing xPDF on a shared server
I need to install xPDF on a shared server at ipower. I am completely new to this, and do not understand the command lines. In elementary terms, can you help me with step-by-step instructions? I've contacted ipower and Derek at xPDF, and they were unable to help with installing xPDF on the shared server. I understand that its frustrating explaining this to someone as who knows nothing about freebsd, ports, etc. The instructions listed below have only confused me more. I dont know where to issue commands, etc. 6.4.3 Xpdf If you want a small FreeBSD PDF viewer, *Xpdf* is a light-weight and efficient viewer. It requires very few resources and is very stable. It uses the standard X fonts and does not require *Motif(r)* or any other X toolkit. To install the *Xpdf* package, issue this command: # pkg_add -r xpdf If the package is not available or you prefer to use the Ports Collection, do: # cd /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf # make install clean Once the installation is complete, you can launch *Xpdf* and use the right mouse button to activate the menu. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you have a closer look, it is using the ed (4):
ed1: at port 0x100-0x10f iomem
Make sure you have the following devices compiled in your kernel:
device miibus
device ed
... also, you might need:
device pccard
device cardbus

Edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" and find > "#PermitRootLogin no", remove the hash, and change the "no" to "yes" First, sshd is not running, that is why "the connection has been refused" messages is being seen. put "sshd_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf. Look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf, it is your friend, and any daemon that you want to run, must have xyz_enable=yes in the /etc/rc.conf, if it conforms to the current FreeBSD mores. Also, as suggested above, add jim to the wheel group, this will allow you to su to root.

Re: Make installworld in single-user mode all the time?
Philippe Lang wrote: Hi, I'd like to patch a production server, with about 10 jails, running FreeBSD 6.0 Release, in order to get FreeBSD 6.0-p6.

Documentation mentions that a reboot in single-user mode is necessary. But on the opposite, /usr/src/UPDATING says: Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. Since this is no "major release upgrade", does that mean I can do the installworld in multi-user mode?

At least, I never installed a port, installing openssl from ports as a dependency (e.g. php5-openssl). I don't really get it. Could you explain why this switch in make.conf is needed then? This would also mean, that I would have to upgrade the base system openssl to openssl-beta in order to be able to install OOo-2 as having openssl within the base system _and_ openssl-beta as a port obviously leads to little confusion.

At least, I never installed a port, installing openssl from ports as a dependency (e.g. php5-openssl). I don't really get it. Could you explain why this switch in make.conf is needed then? This would also mean, that I would have to upgrade the base system openssl to openssl-beta in order to be able to install OOo-2 as having openssl within the base system _and_ openssl-beta as a port obviously leads to little confusion.

Roland Many ports fail if you try to use extravagant make flags like what you would use with Gentoo.

These are systemwide commands that all ports will use during the build process. *CPUTYPE?=* An command for applications to be built with code optimizations for your CPU type, refer to the FreeBSD handbook for the different types available. The most common entries are *p4* if you have a Generic Pentium 4 (Northwood, etc) or *prescott* if you are using a P4 Prescott model processor. There are many for AMD also, these are listed in the handbook. *CFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Command optimizations for the GNU C compiler, -O and -PIPE I believe are standard for FreeBSD 6 Release, however I still include them in my Make.conf. -O2 / -O3 are additional options you can use instead of -O, however it is not recommended. I have used -O2 without any issues when building from ports, however I have noticed no difference between -O and -O2. *-O* sets the optimization level, in this case 1. *- PIPE* causes code to be passed between processes using pipes during compilation rather than using temporary files, which has obvious I/O advantages. *COPTFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Optimizational flags used when compiling your kernel, again I stick to what works -O and -PIPE. I have noticed no breakage when using -O2, but then again I have noticed no performance increase on my servers either.

periodic scripts execution order
Hi, I have a question regarding the execution order of periodic scripts. In the default configuration, scripts in /etc/periodic/*/ are executed before /usr/local/etc/periodic/*/, regardless of numbering. Surely the sensible thing to do would be to execute scripts in an order based on their numbering of the script, regardless of location? A patch to /usr/sbin/periodic to make this happen would be fairly trivial ... so, I'm wondering if there is a reason that the two are run separately? The way it currently runs there is no (elegant) way (that I can find) to write a local script which updates data before the system scripts are run. This would be nice to have.

ESP 62.x.x.125->82.x.x.141' (The ip's shown are what they should be.) I can probably transfer entire parts of the log files if required, but at the moment, both machines are isolated. A further point I've discovered having left them running for a while, is the racoon on the AMD64 keeps crashing and dumping core (although I don't know what to do with that!). Maybe there is an issue with racoon on 64bit? Maybe I should try re-installing with a standard i386 arch. (Last ditch!) Both racoon's are 'racoon-2005-0510a' BTW.

IPSec and Racoon between 5.4 and 4.11
Hi, We have a VPN between two FBSD machines using IPSEC and Racoon. I managed to put this together a couple of years back with (getting) old hardware, although I am certainly no expert. One of the machines is about to be replaced as it is occasionally conking out, and I though I would try the 5.4 release on the new hardware (both existing machines are running 4.9) I have setup internally the layout and effectively replicated the configs of both machines (except for the one being 5.4, and a second running 4.11 instead of 4.9), but I cannot get them talking. The configs for Racoon/IPSec/psk have been transferred over with zero changes. The 5.4 machine is using standard IPSEC (not FAST_IPSEC), and a standard tunnel works fine. It's as soon as IPSec/Racoon is brought in that it falls over. Has anybody got 5.4 <-> 4.11 talking in this config, or does anybody know of any pitfalls because of kernel changes? The only other thing is the 5.4 machine is running amd64. Thanks for any help / pointers.

You don't even need to do that - any router on the network is going to log the MAC address because they will see the arp change, as will the other servers. yeah, of course they'll see the change. but what will they do about it? update their internal ARP table and that's about it, unless they're smart enough (and correctly configured) to do more. arpwatch is simple to install and will notify you straight away when things happen that might need your attention. you log the MAC addresses of all the fixed workstations in the school, then when one of them starts doing the wrong thing you know *exactly* where to go to nab the culprit. How, exactly? Do you think that he has a list of all MAC addresses on the network and who is using them? the educational institutions I've worked in tend to be pretty anal about having a database of what computers they own and where they're located - something to do with stopping people from walking off with their assets. if your vendor is good they'll provide the machine MAC address along with the serial number and amount of installed RAM. if not then there's some walking to do. spend half a day and document the fixed machines on the network. Getting the MAC address is not the problem. Finding it on what is essentially a completely flat network is. You need managed switches for this so you can see what port the offending MAC address is on. now you're assuming that there's documentation as to what ports come out at what wall points, and that there's not still a lab full of dead-ass old machines sitting on 10Base2. If it's not one of the fixed workstations then you've got a bit more work to find the kiddie, but it's nothing insurmountable. Unless of course the kiddies are using made up MAC addresses like BADBEEF, DEADBEEF, CO1DCOED, and such. I'm assuming here, having worked in uni computer labs and seen this sort of crud being done, that what's happening is someone is changing the network settings on a PC... I don't recall seeing a text field next to the "enter your IP address" box that says "enter your MAC address"... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
disabling USB in install kernel
Hi all, I'm trying to get FreeBSD installed on a Sony VAIO U50, but the install kernel never gets past probing the USB devices and I can't for the life of me work out how to disable USB. In OpenBSD I "boot -c" to bring up the user kernel config and then "disable uhci*" and all is good, but the FreeBSD equivalent eludes me. The ports are all USB2, and the responses I've seen to other people with similar symptoms is to tell the BIOS to not emulate a PS-2 keyboard and mouse - unfortunately my BIOS doesn't have any options along those lines. I'm PXE-booting the 5.3B4 installer, at the beastie screen I drop to the loader prompt, and then set hint.uhci.0.disabled=1 set hint.uhci.1.disabled=1 set boot_userconfig=1 boot but I never see the userconfig screen and the kernel boots the same as if none of those options were set. Here is the tail end of the messages the kernel shows - after the second uhub1 message it just stops (I've left it for 10 minutes or so and there's no progress). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. uhci0: port 0x1820-0x183f irq 9 at device 29.0 on pci0 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: port 0x1840-0x185f irq 9 at device 29.1 on pci0 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb1: on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered cheers Russell ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I guess it must also be to do with the way Vim edits files, as the basic
FBSD editor (ee) seems to manage.
Vim tries to create a file called .FILENAME.swp when you edit FILENAME.
The leading dot is probably what breaks the way vim works on Samba
shares. You can always try to make vim write its swap files in another
location, i.e. in `/var/tmp' with this in your .vimrc:
set dir=/var/tmp
or you can disable swapfiles altogether with
set noswapfile
You can even play nice tricks like selectively disabling the swapfile
only for files that "live" in the well-known path of your Samba shares
with something similar to this in your .vimrc:
if !exists("samba_swapfile_hack")
let samba_swapfile_hack = 1
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /share/win2k/* set noswapfile
endif
Unless, of course, my guess is wrong and all this is nonsense :-)
Giorgos
I tried it on another FBsd box we have running 4.10 (the first box was
running 5.something) and it worked fine.
Comparing them it appears to have been something to do with group
permissions, although the user had full rwx access, they weren't in the
group that the share was mounted with. The 4.10 box had the directory
the share was mounted on set to the users user/group by default.
I'm guessing SMBFS is a bit paranoid about user/group security (probably
a good thing though!)

Thanks Daren Hi, I recall running into this and other problems when I was using Samba 3.x on a 4.10 FreeBSD server and smbfs on a 5.2.1 FreeBSD client. In frustration, I updated the server to 5.2.1 and downgraded Samba to 2.x and haven't had problems since. I'd have a hard time believing that going to 5.2.1 on the server side fixed the problem. Rather, I suspect that FreeBSD's smbfs has had little attention lately and doesn't like the changes that have been made to Samba since 2.x. Alternatively, some of the recent patches to 5.2.1 may have had some positive effect on the client's smbfs. Wish I could be more specific on all of this. Charles Ulrich Thanks for the ideas.

Re: Can i make a CD of the Ports Collection
Yes, this could be done. First, create an ISO image of the directory with `mkisofs' (included in /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools): mkisofs -A ports -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -f -no-cache-inodes -D -l -J -o ports.iso -p peter -R -V ports /usr/ports Note: this will produce a non-standards compliant ISO image, but it will be able to be read on both MS Windows and FreeBSD. Then, burn the image to CD using `burncd' (included in /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools): burncd -f /dev/acd0 -v -s data ports.iso fixate When it's time to install, remove everything in `/usr/ports' (rm -r /usr/ports/*) and copy the burned data across. And, to finish it of, CVSup the ports afterwards. - Russell On Wed, Aug 04, 2004 at 11:16:44AM +0800, Peter Ryan wrote: >I am very new, and have been reinstalling >FreeBSD many times to clean up whatever >mess i make and start again. > >I recently used cvsup to update my >ports collection for the 4.10_RELEASE. > >Now, when I reinstall, it takes much longer >because i bring in the updated ports collection >rather than the ports collection on the >install CD (which i burnt from an ISO file) > >Is there some way to burn a cd (for me that >means under winXP) containing the latest >ports collection so that I dont have to >download it each time. > >Or is there a better way of installing >with the latest ports collection. > >Are the ISO images updated with a new >ports collection very frequently ? > >Thanks for any pointers >Peter >___ >[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" pgpETFI5lHDar.pgp Description: PGP signature
