The named running chrooted has no clue about /var/named. You can either use
ducttape:
cd /var/named/var && sudo ln -s .. named
or just strip /var/named from your config file, hence use /var/log/xfer.log.

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p12 bind9 log files not found
Hello,
I have setup FreeBSD recently, can somebody help me with one interesting
thing - Bind9 slave DNS server, everything is works great, but I got a
problem with extended logging of xfer, etc.

};
Next, I've create files in /var/named/var/log and chown them to bind:wheel
(cause of -u bind is defined above):
[po...@mgork23-gw /var/named/var/log]$ ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 bind wheel 512 May 30 16:09 .

But I get following messages in /var/log/messages:

Changing permissions and putting log-files in different places (with
changing paths in named.conf of course) has no effect. I see that problem is
pretty silly but searching info about this doesn't say something special - I
still got "file not found" in /var/messages.
Maybe Iam don't understand where files must be placed, so, thanks in advance
for everybody who can explain how it works :)

nomachine on Freebsd 7.0-release 64-bit & in a jail
It appears that the both the FreeNX port and the binary nomachine nxserver ports are both broken and fail to compile. I'm still trying to get nxserver 3 "free forever" edition to work. So far I've made some mods to it's install scripts but I'm bumping up against a strange licensing error (there is no license for the free edition). Before I bang my head on this much longer, has anyone else gotten Nomachine's version 3 server working on FreeBSD 7? How about in a jail? How does one mount linprocfs in a jail?

Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Vetting-motherboard-Gigabyte-GA-MA78G-DS3H-for-FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-tp21100783p21591458.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Assuming you build the shell statically linked, and put it in the root partition, you're unlikely to have any trouble.

Why do that? Just create your own root account, put what you want for a shell on that account and use it. Use vipw. Copy the root line and then change the _second_ one to be your own root id- say, Rgad - and make a loging in directory for it. Change the directory part of the pw entry to be that and the the shell to be what you want. Then change the password to be what you want or use some pwvault utility or whatever. Just make sure you specify the second root account (Rgad) when doing so or it will change the real root's password. jerry > > What I do is add the following lines to /root/.login : > > if ($?prompt) then >if ( -x /usr/local/bin/bash ) then > # echo "Switching to bash" > setenv SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash > exec /usr/local/bin/bash -login >endif > endif > > I've been doing this for at least 10 years.

I change my root shell to pdksh. It's statically linked and I copy it from /usr/local/bin to /bin. In single user mode you're prompted for a shell (/bin/sh is the default) so I usually use that. I've never had any problems (famous last words ;) Just have to remember to copy the executable to the root filesystem if your shell gets upgraded. What you don't want to do is overwrite /bin/sh with /bin/bash or anything like that. The boot up scripts depend on /bin/sh and although bash is meant to be Bourne compatible, I wouldn't trust it myself to bring up the system without problems. > > > TIA, > > David Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386 will changing root shell break anything?
> Does anybody know if it's okay to change the root shell? A topic of debate, but yes it is okay to change the root shell, but there are some things to know... Some people fret about the idea that shells like bash are not on the root partition and are usually dynamically linked to libraries which reside on /usr and are therefore not available in single-user mode. (One could install a static version of bash to avoid this.) Additionally, FreeBSD prompts the user for the path to the desired shell when going into single-user mode. Shells like sh and tcsh, while dynamically linked, their libs reside on the root partition. If that isn't enough, statically linked shells exist in /rescue and therefore should always be available. Furthermore, the installation CD can be booted from and can provide an emergency repair shell. So yes, there is no technical reason you cannot change the root shell. Just be aware that a default bash install will not be available in single-user mode. But... best security practices dictate that you should not be using the root shell. If you're using the root shell often enough to find the default shell inconvenient, you should consider using something like sudo and a regular user account instead. You can use the builtin 'su' command with the '-m' flag to preserve the environment of the current user, while elevating your privileges. The shell used will be the login shell of the user issuing the 'su' command. Only members of the group 'wheel' may issue the 'su' command. -Modulok- On 1/4/09, David Christensen wrote: > freebsd-questions: > > I'm building a fresh Amanda server using FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386: > > > http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=amand > a-server > > > Most of my software background is GNU/Linux.

I tend to avoid boards with bleeding edge hardware/features as these will not have received so much testing (and may not even be supported) on FreeBSD. This in practice means get a board that's been on sale for a bit. None of my machines are configured for RAID but as a general point, most on this list use software RAID in the form of geom/geli/gmirror etc. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom.html The consensus seems to be that it's just as good as hardware raid performance-wise. There was a thread on this list about it a few months ago. I'd use FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 if I was building a FreeBSD machine today for production purposes as it will be more uptodate with respect drivers for newer hardware and most bugs will have been shaken out this close to release. My compatibilty check for hardware usually consists of going to Google and punching in FreeBSD and the name of the hardware. This usually brings up hits which indicate the level of support. HTH.

I'm currently looking for an ATX motherboard that supports the AM2+ socket, Phenom Quad-Core processor, 4 DDR2 RAM slots (800 MHz is fine), 6 SATA ports with RAID, and Gigabit LAN. Onboard VGA would be nice. It needs to work well with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, using a 2-disk SATA RAID1. I'm currently looking at the Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H. Has anyone successfully operated 7.0 on this board? Any booting issues? Did you need to modify the ISO to get it to boot (if so how)? Did RAID work? Did it require a special driver to be loaded (if so how)? Do any other motherboards fit the bill, given the specifications I give above? I recently got a black eye &-( with the MSI K9N2G Neo-FD, using the GeForce 8200 (MCP78) chipset. FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and CentOS 5.2 wouldn't even boot on it, no matter what the BIOS config was. Also, Vista wouldn't even recognize the SATA disks, even if the SATA ports were in IDE, RAID or AHCI modes (it requires a driver, even if you aren't doing RAID). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Vetting-motherboard-Gigabyte-GA-MA78G-DS3H-for-FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-tp21077043p21077043.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You could try to press the Pause / SysRq key as many times as needed until you're on your X screen again. Have a look into /etc/ttys where the correct terminal should be specified, e. g. ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure ^^ So X will be on ttyv8 which is number 9 (Alt+PF9). May I ask how you initiate your X (XFCE) session? This could give a hint why console switching doesn't work as intended. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Could anyone please point me at what do I miss?.. Well, this hasn't something to do with FreeBSD 7. From my own experience, virtual console switching has always been the same since 4.0 with XFree86. When you're inside X, you need to add the Control key to the key combination, e. g. Ctrl-Alt-PF1. So you leave X (on its VT, usually PF9, see /etc/ttys) and get to the 1st virtual console. As long as you're in text mode, you can switch around with Alt+PF1 ... Alt+PF9 as you mentioned correctly. The functions of Alt+PF1 ... Alt+PF12 inside X depends on the window manager / desktop environment you're running, it can, for example, be used to switch virtual desktops. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I do know that, it's my setting at the moment. :-) So if you would create a normal user account and add these files: 1. ~/.xsession #!/bin/csh source ~/.cshrc exec ~/.xinitrc 2. ~/.xinitc #!/bin/sh exec xfwm Give them +x permissions. The first file allows you to inherit your settings from the C shell (~/.cshrc) into your X session when started from XDM or another display manager. After login, you can use the % startx command to run your XFCE session.

Requested 'cairo >= 1.6.0' but version of cairo is 1.4.10 This is telling you the cairo you have installed is old and needs to be updated, probably freetype2 and fontconfig as well. Essentially you have out of date dependencies, with the most common reason for this is having installed packages straight from the release ISOs and subsequently not upgrading them. Many old time FreeBSD'ers only install the system from the ISO, update their ports tree, and then install software. This ensures everything is current and all dependencies are tracked. What you have is a jumble of outdated dependencies which require updating. > > configure: error: Library requirements (cairo >= 1.6.0 freetype2 > fontconfig) not met > > > What's next? > [snip] You can update things manually one or two at a time[1], as you did for the glib20 port. Or you can automate the process. I use portupgrade for this. Now portupgrade has it's own learning curve, but it can make it easier to keep large numbers of ports all up to date. You probably need to learn a little more about how the ports system works. Once you have a more in depth understanding of how to install and maintain software on a FreeBSD system you won't see this kind of situation again. So rather than fixate on just bouncing from dependency to dependency, ad infinitum ad nauseum, try going back and reading up on this subject some more until you understand the process. -Mike [1] Like you did with glib20: make && make deinstall && make reinstall ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

how to get linux debugging compatibility on freebsd 7.0-release
FreeBSD xxx..com 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 10:35:36 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 I am a little bit (ok, way) over my head here, but I have a 32bit linux binary that crashes on my amd64 system. If that isn't convoluted enough, it is also running in a jail. Specifically, if anyone cares, it seems to be the source metamod 3rd party add-on to valve software's source dedicated server. I have provided the developer(s) of the mod a jailed test environment to debug in with linux_base-fc4, but they are asking how to enable linux debugging compatibility, but I have no idea how to do so, and my googling attempts have only turned up old references to /usr/ports/devel/linux_devel which doesn't seem to exist any more. Here is exactly what he asked me: >I haven't used FreeBSD since 4.4 or so. I've installed gdb66 and i386-rtems-gdb >(whatever that is) in vain attempts to get Linux debugging compatibility but to >no avail. > >Do you know how to get that working or should I start going googling? :) If you really want, you can view all the gory details here: https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3264 but my basic question is, what is the answer to his question of how to get linux debugging compatibility? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

portupgrade / ruby18 is eating up all CPU [FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64]
Hi, Something seems to be wrong with my current 7.0/amd64 setup. # sudo portupgrade -Rra Sometimes portupgrade stops while "Updating the portsdb" [1]. OK, actually it doesn't really stop, with top I see that the ruby18 process is eating up the whole CPU[2]. In the current case it's about p5-Socket6 - but it seems that it isn't about the port, it's more about the portsdb. When I try to restart (CTRL-C) and run portupgrade again it hangs at the same point "Updating the portsdb". Only when I manually force an update of the portsdb it goes through: # sudo pkgdb -fu But than it will randomly hang again in the whole portupgrade run at one of the next updates of the portsdb... I'm able reproduce this problem within a jail and on a regular host system, with portupgrade and portupgrade-devel. At this moment I'm suffering an interrupt storm on that machine, but I already had the problem before. The machine works fine, no performance impact or something like that.

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE getting terrible throughput using sk0 adapter
still seeing really slow download speeds. I then decided to see if something was wrong with the system by downloading the same image from the same source that I downloaded on linux in order to bootstrap freebsd and the speed difference was appaling. It had downloaded at 10.29 MB/s. Once freebsd was installed, It will only go at 60KB/s.. looks like problems with speed/duplex autoconfiguration with the switch, or bad support for PHY in FreeBSD. what you describe is quite common case when one side gets configured for full duplex, other for half duplex. as it works for linux, maybe PHY support in FreeBSD is buggy. try setting up speed and duplex options manually ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

mysql-server-5.1.22 system administration docs on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386 ?
freebsd-questions: I am a FreeBSB noob who has read http://nostarch.com/abs_bsd2.htm and is attempting to build a FreeBSD 7.0 box for Apache/ MySQL/ Perl applications. I've installed mysql-server-5.1.22 via sysinstall from ftp1.us.freebsd.org, but I am unable to figure out how to start it. RTFM: # man mysqld No manual entry for mysqld # makewhatis # apropos mysql mysql: nothing appropriate # whatis mysql mysql: nothing appropriate I don't understand why apropos and whatis can't find mysql: # man mysql Yup, it's there; but that's the client. So is the admin utility: # man mysqladmin The FreeBSD Handbook doesn't mention mysql in the TOC: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html (Attempting to get the whole thing as HTML locks up my browser.) The mailing list archives didn't help. (Including using Google with site:). STFW led me to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server. Attempting to use that: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start # ps -a | grep mysql # mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) # mysqladmin ping mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! I've been fumbling my way around FreeBSD, and thus far have been able to get things working via /etc/rc.d/* scripts and/or /etc/rc.conf -- (apache_enable, hostname, ifconfig_*, defaultrouter, ntpd*, inetd. mysql-5.1 doesn't seem to follow the pattern. Why? Where is the FreeBSD 7.0 system administration documentation for mysqld 5.1? Specifically, how to start it manually and how to start it at book via the rc system?

I don't have access to a CD-ROM. It's a leased server at a remote location. I won't be doing buildworld & installworld as I would only be recompiling the kernel to enable ULE scheduler.

I'd always assumed that that would give you the release source, which would mean reverting two security updates. The normal way to get the source is to run csup, in this case using RELENG_7_0. The process is covered in the handbook. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Unable to fetch source files using FTP for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2
Hi, You just need to change the release name to 7.0-RELEASE. Use sysinstall and change it in Options or a source supfile with that release name. Keep in mind that if you buildworld&installworld freebsd-update will not be able to do binary updates. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Unable to fetch source files using FTP for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2
Hello I have a remote FreeBSD server with a freshly installed FreeBSD 7.0 Release (amd64 arch). I used the freebsd-update tool to apply binary security updates. This upgraded my system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2. Since I wanted the ULE scheduler, I tried downloading the source files using sysinstall by selecting the components. For the install media, I selected "Install from an FTP Server". Selecting any server from those listed gives the following error: Warning: Can't find the `7.0-RELEASE-p2' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any"). Would you like to select another FTP server? I have already tried multiple ftp locations, but always get the same result. Am I missing something here, or do I need to downgrade to the old kernel if I need to compile a custom kernel.

xpdf segmentation fault on FreeBSD 7.0 Release
Hi, all, I have installed xpdf 3.02 on a FreeBSD 7.0 Release Box without problem, I can use "xpdf -h" to get the help information, But when ever I just use "xpdf" or "xpdf some.pdf", it will give a "segmentation fault" and without any other note. Is there any one have met such things and please suggest me how can I solve it?

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-Release
From http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2007/6/emw531216.htm, quoted in the News sections of freebsd.org: "Developers on the FreeBSD project worked with researchers from NTT to integrate their code, under a BSD license, into the CURRENT branch of FreeBSD, which will become the 7.0 release in the near future." Nothing's hinted, but yes 7.0 is in a code freeze for the most part (very minor touch-ups are going into CURRENT from what I can see in the Perforce commits), so here goes to 7 RELEASE in the next couple months :).. -Garrett On Tue, 3 Jul 2007, Pietro Cerutti wrote: matt donovan wrote: it's on the freebsd site but the code freeze has begun so some are guessing /\/\ Did you mean "it isn't", right?
