I have to confess that when I first say xeyes on a Sun workstation over 20 years
ago, I thought it was a joke - just a demo of what could be done with 
X-Windows. I am
delighted to hear it has helped you so much, and no doubt many others. I was 
quite naive.

I see it has even been ported to (or rewritten for) Windows :

A few weeks ago I asked about mouse trails. Polytropon suggested xeyes. I 
have found it excellent, and have had no trouble whatsoever with it.

It has made my life so much easier. Thanks, Polytropon!

The mailing lists hosted at lists.FreeBSD.org are managed by our
postmaster team.  So you have to go through the "normal process"
before you create a mailing list there.  This means that:

  a) You have to talk to postmaster and convince them that there
 is a very real need for another mailing list.

  b) You have to come up with a 'charter' for the mailing list: a
 short blurb that describes what the list topic will be, who
 is allowed to post there, etc.

  c) Once you get approval from postmaster, your list will be
 created and you can go on using it.

I am not sure what you mean by "serve a domain".  Do you already
have a web site or other community-related place where people can
join and talk about FreeBSD-related material?  If yes, what is
the name of the web site?  Can you briefly describe the community
itself?

Cheers,
Giorgos

I admire your enthusiasm but you have to do your homework before you post again.

Understand this: Your community is independent from the FreeBSD
project it will have no direct connection with FreeBSD.org except for
the fact that they just ___might___ list you in the usergroups and
mailing list pages, probably once you have demonstrated that your
community deserves it. You will have to set-up you own mailing list
server (I suggest mailman), and people will subscribe to that list
with their own e-mails just like you did to this list. You will not
have a mail account with freebsd.org unless you become a long-term and
proven collaborator of the project, and even then it's unlikely that
you will get such a mail or even need one, and really it's not the
goal of the great majority of collaborators in any Open Source
project.

>From your questions I think you have a lot to read before attempting
to form a community. Community building is from the ground-up, it's
not like you put a server on the Internet and it happens magically
overnight and you become famous. On the contrary, it will be a very
hard and usually not appreciated by anyone, nor it will gain you any
recognition in the short term.

I suggest that before you do anything, just attempt to contact the
other FreeBSD users in your community and have a face-to-face meeting
to discuss the formation of the Iranian BSD community. Maybe in your
university or other universities and institutes you can gain enough
mass and interest. Contact the person that owns freebsd.ir and ask him
what his plans are with the domain. If you are able to round up these
people in person I'm sure that within those meetings you will find
many of the answers to your questions.

> if i serve a domain, second step what is it?
> i want have a email account with freebsd.org like users in this page
> http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html

That is just a list of the mailing lists in languages other than
English, but each one is maintained independently from the FreeBSD
project.

> what should i do?
> I thankful if you guide me.

Contact every FreeBSD user you can find and have a meeting in person.
Discuss with them your ideas and be prepared for a lot of hard work.
Contact the people at IRNIC (nic.ir  I copied their info below), I am
sure that people in their IT department will guide you with this.
Their Web site uses Apache 2.2.3 on CentOS, so they are probably
familiar with Open Source and may direct you to other Open Source
communities which will most probably help you and guide you in making
your FBSD community there.

Using a simple google search I found that on February 3rd, 2010 Abbas
Farahmand posted on the FreeBSD forums about translating to Persian,
he will surely be of help and will most likely support your cause:

Thanks [upgrading installed ports: time to do it ?]

2009-06-23 Thread dan
Hello !

Thanks alll of you for taking time to answer my mail. I really appreciate it.

I have (well...the system has) succesfully done the upgrade.

I used both pkg_updating and portupdate-scan to scan UPDATING [pkg_updating 
did not show an entry suggesting to update python to version 2.6 (which 
Portupdate-scan did)].
AS UPDATING suggests, I made the switch from python 2.5 to python 2.6 (using 
portupgrade).
Then I did a "mass" upgrade... portupgrade -ab --batch ... It took 6h30 
upgrading 40 ports (not many ports because I installed this system only few 
months ago). [Now I should find where the backup packages have been sent]

Thanks again and see you here !

d

p.s. Robert I meant to say if you prefer to upgrade just a selection of the 
ports or all of the ports together ;-)

If this is a server than you almost certainly should go with the 64 bit
version. If it's for a desktop then I would suggest you search the
list for the pros and cons - I'm not going to go into them, it's been

anything to do with the crashes? Is there a stable 64-bit version of fBSD 
I should install? Will it upgrade the 32-bit or should I go from scratch?

6.3 supports 64-bit amd64-compatible CPUs, and stability is on par with 
the 32-bit version.  Besides which, amd64 CPUs are full backwards 
compatible when run in 32-bit mode, so this is not the source of your 
problems.

But will it upgrade or do I have to strike the current install and go again?



An upgrade may be possible, but a new installation is "recommended".  Search 
the archives at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/ for context.

You need to update your ports tree. The current version is 2.4.0_5.

Please consult the Handbook on how to keep your ports-tree up to date:

I built openoffice and jdk15 just last week without any problems. There
was no requirement for an older version of java, just jdk15. Have

they need to be added manually to a file.


Now I am trying to build Open Office for access to word files.  The make

OK, but this was not the problem we were discussing in this paragraph.
In the part of your email that you snipped you discussed problems with
the amd64 system failing to recognize libraries on your i386 disk
image.  This is expected behaviour.

You'll need to enable DDB and obtain some debugging information.  See
the developers handbook for full instructions.

The problem is that you didn't bother to read the documentation when
you encountered "problems" (or ask for help), but instead guessed
about how you think the system should work.

Unfortunately, your guesses were in disagreement with documented
reality in most of the cases you mentioned.

I doubt it.  More likely you are having problems from trying to use
your i386 system on an amd64 kernel, which will be looking in a
different place for the i386 libraries.


i was using qemu to emulate amd64. tried i386 live CD 5 minutes ago.

SAME EFFECT! system hangs while doing import!

no crash so i can't do a crashdump :(


you said that i did quick testing. yes - because before it i already new

That's not what copies is supposed to be used for.  If you want

summary: user had many incorrect expectations about the software and
is not willing to correctly report possible bugs so they can be fixed,
therefore should avoid running all pre-release versions of freebsd.

Re: ZFS - no thanks!

2007-08-11 Thread Christian Walther
Hi Wojciech,

let me start with pointing out that ZFS is still an experimental feature.
Secondly, this is the wrong list, because ZFS is a feature of FreeBSD-CURRENT.
Adding freebsd-current to CC, maybe one of the ZFS developers can give
their $0.02.

If I understand you correctly you tried to use ZFS with FreeBSD 6.2. Won't work.

ZFS probably isn't for Joe average user. No offense ment with this,
but ZFS does has a nice set of features, but not many are needed for
every days work. At least if you're on a workstation.
>

Yes, because copies=n isn't there to protect against an entire disk
failing. It protects data against block failures. So if an individual
block on the disk wents bad, as it's most often the case when a disk
starts to die, you have some more backups with the correct checksum.

> zpool scrub DOES NOT move copies to other disk from the same when other is
> made available!!

No, because it's not dedicated to do this. AFAIK zfs does this
automagically every time you attach a disk and add it to a certain
zpool.
scrubbing is in cases where disk faults have been found. It means that
the ZFS compares the data and it's checksum, thus locating any trouble
and fixes it.

I don't know your setup but for me it works fine.
I'm currently at the Chaos Communication Camp, next to me is an
AthlonXP powered with FreeBSD-CURRENT installed. 3x400GB HDD using
ZFS, giving 732GB net capacity. 2GB RAM.
We had a few issues with the hardware. One of the disks is unstable,
leading to crashes eventually. I started the system without the disk,
I changed the disks position, moved them from a PCI Controller to the
onboard controller and stuff.
ZFS came up fine.
I'm really impressed with ZFS and it's features.

The system is pretty busy, we've 15 users max with 1MBit/sec allowed.
Firewall states a throughput of 90MBit/sec upstream, saturating the
100MBit/sec NIC.

With ZFS you're making use of all your HW, CPU, RAM, PCI Bus etc. So
if something 's wrong with your HW you'll notice. But that doesn't
necessarily mean that it's related to ZFS.
For example I encountered a poor system performance, with lots of
interrupts. Tried to tweak ZFS a bit, didn't make a difference. Then I
took my "primary slave disk" from the PCI Controller, attached it to
onboard primary master - and things went out fine.

Just as a side note: If your dmesg reports something like this:
atapci0:  port
0xdc00-0xdc07,0xd800-0xd803,0xd400-0xd407,0xd000-0xd003,0xcc00-0xcc0f
irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci0
...remove it. ;-)

ZFS - no thanks! - few more words

2007-08-11 Thread Wojciech Puchar
for those who got much better experience with ZFS and for everyone else 
using anything:


please do remember - no RAID hardware or software, no zfs, no anything is 
a replacement for REGULAR BACKUPS done on removable media or different 
machine. in second case at least sometimes it should be done to removable 
media too.


with this way i never lost any data, not using any mirrors or RAID-5 ever.

That's an official release. A few patched stable releases have
been
done since then to fix security issues, as well as MFC (merged from
current) modifications (new drivers added, etc).

Also, snapshots of the managed CVS branches are done periodically
(legacy, stable, current), which you may or may not have seen.

Patches are made to all supported releases, until their
respective
EoL (end of life) dates, so that's why there are periodic releases.

Cheers,

   Yes, but those are source patches which:

1. Require a source tree.
2. Require a limited (one app and maybe small list of dependencies) to 
major rebuild (extensively used lib that has a lot of dependencies).


More current snapshots have those patches built into them.

Cheers,

There is a way to su root anyway.
Should you read su(1) and pam.conf(5), you see that your ability to su root 
depends on the
/etc/pam.d/su
For the first time, you can delete this file, and you will be able to su 
anybody always. But this is not a good way for security reasons.
Then read pam.conf(5) and edit the /etc/pam.d/su in a way allowing you to su 
root. But only you.

Although it is described in the handbook, in my opinion an "error message",
or more generally a "feedback message", should give more useful feedback to
the user. Now the user must think of all the checks that can fail while - in
this case - authenticating, which is rather silly when you think of it,
because the su-command, just did exactly the same, and could have easily
printed a message that would describe the check on which it returned the
error.

Hi,

Check to see if you belong to the wheel group.
As root
#pw groupshow wheel

If your user name doesn't appear then do this
#pw groupmod wheel -m your_user_name_here

Next time you log in as that user you should
be able to su to root

That's the same error I get when I've mistyped the root password.

You need to be in the 'wheel' group to su to root.  It's not mentioned
in the su manpage, but is in both the FAQ and handbook.

Per default only members of group "wheel" are allowed to su to

"wintel" stands for windows+intel :-)
how about Freeon - FreeBSD+{Athlon|Sempron|Opteron}?

Thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how one can do
that, but never got to googling. I'm still afraid to mess
with production servers, though zapping the boot manager
would save a few seconds each reboot (hmm, once every
few years :).

UBCD is great, especially when you get hold of mkisofs
and start customizing it. I had to learn it when I needed to
reflash a server without FDD. It only took an hour to find
a guide, experiment and have a new ubcd containing
all the firmwares I need.

Hiren is also very good, but it contains warez mostly, so
beware. There are many other alternatives out there.

Yes, you're right, it works - I'm not sure of the order either. What 
doesn't work anymore is the "ancient" posibility of including these 
options in dhclient.conf


However, wpa_supplicant is needed to handle encryption keys etc. And 
then comes the neat feature of supporting multiple networks.

Say you configure two (or more) networks, one uses dhcp the other static

You can use in /etc/rc.conf:

That's FreeBSD 5.X and prior way of doing it. The suggested way to 
config your wirerless is with wpa_supplicant(8). In rc.conf add:


wpa_suplicant_enable="YES"
ifconfig_ath0="DHCP"

and create wpa_supplicant.conf:

The neat thing is that you can configure multiple networks and 
wpa_supplicant will try them in order.


Note that dhclient was replaced with the new OpenBSD implementation in 
FBSD6, and wpa_supplicant introduced to handle association with wireless 
networks.

Read rc.conf(5) for more information.

# Gregory Nou:

[ Playing with FBSD ]
> I ran Neverwinter Nights, Enemy Territory and UT2004 with great success.

There are two issues with FreeBSD here (I've found out the
hard way):

  1) There is no nVidia-driver for amd64 and --unless nVidia changes
 their mind-- there won't ever be one.

  2) The i386-nVidia-driver (tested 6113, 7667, 7676) seems to have
 a major problem with Athlon64 on socket 939.  Just google for

| NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS kernel
| NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended.

 Apparently, the driver is unable to use either NVAgp or native
 AGP.  You'll still be able to use twin-screens and hardware
 accelleration, albeit at a very limited transfer bandwidth to
 the GPU.  Some people seem lucky enough and are still able to
 play, but I know that _for me_ UT2004 runs *way* too slow since
 updating CPU+Mainboard.  (Ran perfectly fine before).

In short: if your PCs have a combination of nVidia-GPU and
Athlon64/939-CPU, FreeBSD is not a good choice atm. :(

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you run
an internet/gaming cafe. The computers currently run Windows, and
you want a free operating system to replace it.

FreeBSD would be a fine choice, especially if most of your customers
want to surf the web or word process. 3D gaming is also possible,
but it takes a little bit of work.

Personally, I run my games on Linux (Ubuntu, in particular); FreeBSD
runs on my servers and work laptop. There are folks who use at least
some of the games you mentioned above on FreeBSD; hopefully they'll
chime in.

 


I ran Neverwinter Nights, Enemy Territory and UT2004 with great success.
However, playing this game under anything else than windows is to be a 
pain because of patches.
Games producers seem to love making v1.34.01.15 incompatible with 
v1.34.01.16, so as soon as the server administrator decide he will get 
this new 1.34.01.16, because he wants to correct that bug he did not 
even notice, you will have to update. And there... that's awful. You 
don't have the click here button to upgrade. You have to do it manually, 
hoping the port was updated.
The other problem you may have is with Pack, like in UT, with new 
vehicles, new maps and so on. They are often released in .exe, and 
downloading them using the game is very very slow.
Concerning the games you want to run, I just tried CS (CS1.5, not CS:S), 
using wine, like friends of mine. We only had issues with voice. I did 
not try Warcraft 3, but  there, you might want to use linux and wineX.
But if you're ready to accept these small problems, you should just 
wonder if the games you want to install are ported.
If you're considering building gaming servers, freebsd is definitely a 
good choice. Our gaming server used to run on Freebsd, and nobody 
complained about it.

No, running cvsup with that cvsupfile will update all of your local sources. 
You might want to delete /home/ncvs as that is taking up a lot of disc space 
and you don't need it unless you're planning to run your own cvs mirror, or 
you're planning on tracking multiple branches. Just stick with cvsup, it's 
much easier to use than CVS. Take a look at the handbook. It has a lot of 
info pertaining to what your doing. You might want to be tracking RELENG_5
as your default tag. That's the 5-stable branch which will contain bug fixes 
etc that are not in the release. RELENG_5_4_0 is just a snapshot of that 
release with only security updates. Always read /usr/src/UPDATING before 
building / installing it will save you from potential gotyas.

Your cvsupfile should look like this:

*default  tag=RELENG_5_4_0_RELEASE
*default  host=cvsup3.freebsd.org
*default  base=/usr
*default  prefix=/usr
*default  release=cvs
*default  compress
*default  delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
doc-all
ports-all tag=.   <- Note the period

That will update your local /usr/src, /usr/doc and /usr/ports. Ports always 
need to be tagged head otherwise cvsup will just delete your ports tree.
Change *default host to a mirror close to you. You don't need www unless you 
plan on mirroring the freebsd website, nor do you need cvs-root.

Enjoy,

Beech

This must have taken a while, right?

The "release" you specified is "cvs", which means "bring me a mirror of
the CVS repository, instead of a single revision of each file".

The "prefix" is /home/ncvs, so doc/... files end up under the directory
/home/ncvs/doc/...

You have an almost complete mirror of the entire FreeBSD CVS repository,
if you actually ran cvsup with this supfile.  Look under /home/ncvs :)
 


Efharisto, Giorgos,

Yes, it did take a while.  I shall now go and take a look in the above 
mentioned directory.  Unfortunately I do not have email set up with the new 
system, so I have to switch back and forth between Windows and FreeBSD.  Email 
is my next task.

Thanks again.

One more remark (for the archives):

if using mailwrapper, change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to 
have /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp as the sendmail (and other) program.
Then restart /etc/rc.d/sendmail

This is an excellent solution, much better than what I did before. I was 
actually editing the sendmail .cf file to change my FQDN and address. Messy.

I can simply use my regular email address @ricin.com (at a hosting provider) 
too now. Both send-pr and porttools need a slight modification to also take 
the preferred email adress from .ssmtprc. To have the right  and be 
also recognised as maintainer by porttools something like this will do:

   I have tried times and times to download a copy of FreeBSD fro= m your
   FTP site. However, every time I failed. It seemed to me that the tra   
nsfering speed is unbearably slow.

   What's worse, somehow I was black-listed by the administrator.( Maybe
   be= cause I tried too much times to download from your site. )

   I'm using an ADSL line, and usually the speed is fairly quick. In
   additi= on, I only happened to such problems in your site.

   I need your help, many thanks!

Thanks :)  I'm glad the information is helpful.

I want to point out that FreeBSD's very own Tom Rhodes led a FreeBSD BOF
discussion after lunch that was well attended and well received.  So
consider heading out to Ohio Linuxfest next year if you can make it, as
there seemed to be a pretty strong BSD showing.

BSD docs better than Linux docs (was: Re: Testimonial - Thanks to FreeBSD)

2004-09-08 Thread Phil Schulz
[snip - Testimonal]
I've played with Linux, but the BSD documentation is always more
complete, 
 Actually, I've recently found out that this isn't always true. Some 
Linux man pages in sections 2 and 3 seem to be more complete than the 
BSD equivalents, i.e. have examples or documentation of the used data 
structures. Take a look at nanosleep(3), for example.
 But I promise, as soon as I've found an appartment and have moved, I 
will start to change those kind of things when I discover them.
 But I think, generally speaking you are definitely right.

Regards,
Phil.

Welcome to the community!

My testimonial to FreeBSD would be that three years ago I was asked to
get a mailserver for 1,200 users setup quickly, using Qmail, with a
web interface and virus scanning of each and every message. A few days
later, I had FreeBSD+Qmail-ldap+Qmailscanner running - and it's still
running. In three years, it's had two outages, both hardware related.
You really can't beat that.

Since then, I've used FreeBSD for fileservers, firewalls,
printservers, webservers, database servers, and my desktop at home.
I've played with Linux, but the BSD documentation is always more
complete, FreeBSD systems seem to consistently take a kicking and come
back for more. That, and lists such as this offer really great
support.

I love FreeBSD. :-)

2004-06-11 Thread Grant Peel
Hi Bill,

I was pleasantly supprised with the ease of install. There were a couple of
suprises, but nothing large. A few small things you might be able to
answer.

the order of install for the following:L

Apache13
mod_ssl
mod_php
mod_frontpage

When I ran mod php, it built and installed apache13 in the
user/local/etc/apache dir.

How does one now add the Frontpage and SSL mods? I have read the READMEs and
INSTALLs and they are as clear as mud! Any hints would be appreciated!

Thank you for the help, i don't really insist on using

1. FreeBSD itself is not a company. We don't offer jobs.

   However, there are many software shops (companies) that
   develop or support Unix (Linux, BSD, ...) software.
   Even more companies (from all sectors of the economy)
   need experienced junior sysadmins or netadmins, who
   are proficient at playing with [and programming] misc.
   Unix versions, including, but not limited to, FreeBSD.

2. It is not absolutely necessary to study CS to be a good programmer,
   though some CS background won't hurt either. To understand some
   of the non-trivial algorithms, one or two years of CS exposure
   would be IMHO very desirable though.

Hacking[1] Unix is fun and the best game in town! You don't get paid
for playing, do you? Some of us are fortunate enough to have the
priviledge of having daytime jobs that require working in a Unix
environment too. Just don't tell our employers that we're having
fun in our jobs... ;-)

Check out the excellent O'Reilly Nutshell books:
  http://www.oreilly.com/

As for books, a few of us started their careers in programming
in a very unusual, but innovative way, by reading the Wizard Book
[SICPv2]:

  http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html
  http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/

This is a great introduction to programming concepts, based on
Scheme, a Lisp dialect (FreeBSD has many Scheme interpreters
in the ports tree as well). SICP is part of the introductory
CS curriculum at MIT:

  http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/course.html

and is being taught in many other Universities worldwide too.

thanks everyone, was Re: sendmail configuration

2003-08-06 Thread Kirk R. Wythers
Looks like send mail is sending mail out to the virtual host
(neighborsunited.net) now:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:189 echo "3,0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]" | sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter  
> canonify   input: postmaster @ neighborsunited . net
Canonify2  input: postmaster < @ neighborsunited . net >

Mailman is not sending messages, but it looks like /var is full (which
would cause problems)

/dev/da0s1d257838  237312-100   100%/var

So I'm off to try and figure out where I can clear some space off in
/var

Thanks everyone...

telnet and ftp are disabled by default on a new FreeBSD install.

If you wish to use them, you must turn them on.

edit your /etc/inetd.conf file and uncomment the lines that say

telnet

and

ftp

Save it and issue a SIGHUP to inetd.

You can enable telnet by removing the #
in the
telnet  stream  tcp ...
line in /etc/inetd.conf
and either reboot or do
# /etc/netstart

Telnet uses port 23.
SSH uses port 22.
The protocols are not compatible -- that's why they use different ports.
Get PuTTY -- it's a great Windows SSH client. (Google for PuTTY -- it's
the first match :-)

2003-03-27 Thread Karl Hammerschmidt
Thanks to everybody who helped me with sendmail. I hope to be able to do the same. 
Your advice allowed me to get things running, so that I could troubleshoot the rest of 
the setup, and explained some things that I hadn't found in the material that I had 
read (much of iwhich was outdated and meant for other operating systems).

Thanks again!

It seems it is waiting to be written.  There are more chapters later on that 
are similiar.  "The design and implementation of the 4.4BSD operating system" 
may have some outdated but still very useful general information on signals 
for you.  Care to digest that and write the new chapter for FreeBSD?  ;)
