I did install jdk13 port before installing/upgrading/reinstalling mozilla port (at 
/www/mozilla (I included WITH_GTK2=yes), not at /www/mozilla-gtk2 (don't know if the 
script is different, haven't tried that port yet). 

I removed the link to java plugin in mozilla, then the first error disappeared, but 
the second still existed. Then I removed the java plugin in the 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins, then all the errors went away but no java plugins were 
loaded. At all times, mozilla loaded up just fine.

After googling and finding minimal information (some websites are assuming that 
gdk_input_add has problems with gtk2), I deinstalled mozilla and reinstalled it 
without the gtk2 prefix, only then does the java plugin work fine. Same results on 
both 5.0 and 4.7 boxes.

Has anyone installed /www/mozilla-gtk2 or /www/mozilla WITH_GTK2 have their java 
plugin loaded up without problems? Any idea how I can install with gtk2 and java 
plugin working?

I have mozilla-gtk2 (1.2.1) working with JPI 1.3.1 at home.  I didn't do
anything special, I just built mozilla-gtk2, then build jdk13.

I had the same problem, and building without WITH_GTK2 fixed java for
me also.

Another issue: mozilla-devel with WITH_GTK2 requires pango-1.1.1, but
our port is only 1.0.5.  I had WITH_GTK2 in /etc/make.conf and didn't
use the mozilla-devel-gtk2 port.  Removing WITH_GTK2 makes
mozilla-devel build fine.

If you want mozilla-devel with GTK2 support, you should build
mozilla-devel-gtk2.  If you choose to enable Xft and GTK2, you will need
to be running my GNOME 2.1 pre-release ports.

Which was the date that I installed a 4.4-RELEASE copy and tried to

mention that.  Reading the commit log reference above and the date of
the binary someone could have thought that somehow mount_msdos was

Right, but from my perspective, I tried to upgrade mozilla-devel from
1.2 to 1.3, and it failed.  I care more about Xft2 than Gnome, and for
a reason I have since forgotten, had WITH_GTK2=YES in /etc/make.conf. 
I had no reason to use the mozilla-devel-gtk2 port, and since it looks
like it disables Xft, I didn't want to.

Maybe the mozilla-devel Makefile should print a warning if it sees that
the user has WITH_GTK2 set (at least until pango gets updated):

.if defined(WITH_GTK2) && !defined(WITHOUT_XFT)
BROKEN= mozilla-devel will not build with both GTK2 and Xft2 enabled. \
Either build without WITH_GTK2 or use the mozilla-devel-gtk2 \
port.
.endif

Instead of printing an error, I just moved the WITHOUT_XFT to the
mozilla-devel Makefile.  This should take care of the problem.

The other option would be to do what it says, that is, configure your 
'hostname' The hostname is what you set in your /etc/rc.conf file and is set 
at boot time, you can also reset your hostname as superuser, using the 
'hostname' command.  Mysql is probably wanting your hostname to be a hostname 
that can be resolved to an ip address. 

One way to do this is to edit your /etc/hosts file and enter something like:
192.168.0.10mntkz

The reason I suggest that ip address is because 192.168.*.* is reserved for 
people with computers who dont have a _real_ ip address and hostname.

I have a server with virtual hosts  using freebsd 4.0 and sendmail 8.9.3

and find the server domain user mail flooded with messages , definitely

that appear to be relayed by "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I put "[EMAIL PROTECTED] 550" in /etc/mail/access and did makemap,

and this stops the emails. I'm not comfortable doing this even though it

What's the result of setkey -PD on both boxes?

Sanitize the addresses of the public IPs, but leave the private IPs as is.

www.sendmail.org could be a good starting point if you're using
sendmail.

I can't be more specific than that right now because I don't
know what your target mail scheme is and I don't know if you want to
stay with sendmail or try another mta such as exim or postfix.

You might also want to look at ports/mail/rblcheck or somethign
similar to help control who your server listens to.

You could enable ftp or (better from a security standpoint) use

our changed gated, without ipfw I've reached a pretty good solution. But
my problem is when
I use ipfw to simulate Wan effect's such as delay, bandwidth, loss, etc...
Until this point I'm solving the problem with following sequence of events
in my dummynet routers.
stop gated; clear all in ipfw(including the pipes); construct the ipfw
pipes, and then start gated again.
my problem is that after 10 minutes of testing the queues get to full in
ipfw and i stop communication between
dummynet routers and my normal routers(that's what I thinnk is happening).
Rx - means router x
DRy - means dummynet router y
On R1 and R5 I have 4 endpoint's attached each through a switch in each
one, which I use to generate and receive
the traffic for further study.



 / R2 - - - - DR1\
   /   \
 /   \
4 Endp's   - - - R1 - - - R3 - - - - DR2- R5 - - - - - 4 Endp's.
 \   /
   \/
 \ R4 - - - - DR3 /


I'm using the ipfw that comes with freebsd 2.2.8 , hosts are


DR1 - Intel celeron 333 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , original gated 3.5.11
DR2 - Intel celeron 333 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , original gated 3.5.11
DR3 - Intel celeron 333 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , original gated 3.5.11
R1 - Intel celeron 466 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , changed gated 3.5.11
R2 - Intel celeron 466 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , changed gated 3.5.11
R3 - Intel celeron 466 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , changed gated 3.5.11
R4 - Intel celeron 466 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , changed gated 3.5.11
R5 - Intel celeron 466 , 128 Mg,  freebsd 2.2.8 , changed gated 3.5.11


ipfw rules are simple:
ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any via xl0
ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any
ipfw pipe 1 config delay 30ms
ipfw pipe 2 config delay 0ms


where xl0 connection is between(DR1<->R5, DR2<->R5, DR3<->R5)


this is an example output of of ipfw show, after the "failure":


00100  320097   475909018   pipe 1  ip from any to any via xl0
00200  319874   475892138   pipe 2  ip from any to any
65535 230   16756   deny ip from any to any

I'm saying that the problem is in ipfw, cause I'm figuring that it's not
working hat it's supposed too :(
I'm trying to say that after a while it stops bridging packets from on
interface to the other, or that it doesn't
forward the packets after some amount of traffic going by.


I think I'm using all the modules that I need, I read your documentation
carefully and more than once, although
I think that the documentation you have online is for a more recent
freedbsd version(the option bridged only works
in freebsd 4.0 or higher).


Any help will be great, and once again sorry to bother you :(

P.S. I'm generating traffic with netiq tool chariot.
I have tools for checking the traffic in routers R1,R3,R4 and R5
I see traffic arriving/leaving on R1,R3,R4 but it doesn't reach R5.

Ouch!  Dummynet was very new and probably best classed as "experimental" in
2.2.8, and even in most of the 3.x line it was a bit flakey.  I'm not surprised
you are having trouble with it and I'm also not surprised Luigi is unwilling or
unable to debug obsolete code.  2.2.8 was EOL'd ages ago and you will be
unlikely get any help from anyone without upgrading to a recent 4.x version.

iostat - define Kilobits per transfer

2003-01-22 Thread Noah Garrett Wallach

Hi,

can somebody give me a better understanding of what the iostat output is
decribing in the KB/t column.  It might be really simple but figured I';d
ask, if in fact further clarification can be given.

typhoon% iostat 1
  tty da0  da1 acd0
 tin tout  KB/t tps  MB/s   KB/t tps  MB/s   KB/t tps  MB/s  us ni sy in
   0   21  0.00   0  0.00   0.00   0  0.00   0.00   0  0.00   1  0  1  0

do drive specifications generally contain KB/t information or statistics?

I currently have an IDE drive that has the capacity to do 128KB/t and a
SCSI drive 64KB/t.  Are these stats in fact showing me that there is a
limitation with the SCSI drive?  Are my file transfering capaibilities
less with the SCSI drive?  I suppose what do I need to look for in
the spcifications when choosing new drives so this does not happen again?

heh. not that they originated the idea, but the first I heard about

out that if you blocked AIM's normal ports, it would just start using
HTTP over port 80. :-)

checking for headers

2003-01-22 Thread edscott wilson garcia


Hi,

  I'm trying to get a "configure" program to check for dbh.h, but the
following line only checks in /usr/include:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS(dbh.h, ac_cv_dbh_library=yes, ac_cv_dbh_library=no)

The generated configure in Linux searches both /usr/include and
/usr/local/include, but not in FreeBSD. What do I have to add so that it
will search /usr/local/include in FreeBSD?

so what exactly does KB per transaction mean? what happens if I am
handling 300 concurrent users with 160Kbit encoded audio streams - could I
in fact do this on this machine?  or will I be limited by the 64KB/t
issue?

Re: copy

2003-01-22 Thread David E. Cross
I guess you could buy a copy, or convince someone, like me, to send you
one.  My bigger question is "If you want to be a mirror, why don't you
want to download it."  Downloading it will likely be the quickest way to
get the CD.  Even at a pathetic 9600 baud connection you would be able
to download the full CD1 before anything I ever sent you arrived, and if
you wanted to be a mirror, you need much better than that for bandwidth
anyway (a mirror who gets their updates from tape/cd/whatever isn't
going to be of much use.)

Re: Reboot...

2003-01-22 Thread David E. Cross
In my experience, for numerous reasons, it is better to install
Microsoft OS's first, then install FreeBSD (Microsoft has a nasty habit
of doing what it wants without asking or notification to the boot
record.  That being said, I have no idea why win98 won't even boot to an
install point.  Are you booting from Floppy or CD, or something else? 
Will the machine correctly boot FreeBSD now (its possible that it isn't
win98 that won't boot, nothing will.).

Assuming you can boot FreeBSD, what errors are you getting trying to
boot the win98 install (and what _exactly_ are you doing)?

Re: Mobo has six USB ports but FreeBSD seams to only work withtwo, help please

2003-01-22 Thread David E. Cross
Ok,  I didn't read your dmesg output in detail.. but I suspect what you
may be running into is that the other USB ports are "USB2.0"

See:
pci0:  (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2443) at 31.3 irq 9
Right in the middle of a bunch of other USB stuff? And again with:
pci0:  (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2445) at 31.5 irq 9
at the end.

Vendor 0x8086 is intel (cute eh?), and you are running an intel chipset
(the other USB ports were intel).  I don't know what either dev 0x2443
or 0x2445 is, but I bet it is a USB2 controller.

(Note: Intel has a 82443 controller, but its device identifier is
0x71988).

I have no idea what the state of USB2 support is at this point.

Re: Building Linux binaries under FreeBSD/Linux layer

2003-01-22 Thread David E. Cross
Yes, it can be done.  It is done  by a couple of the ports, and as such
there is a pre-ported way of doing it.

/usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools and linux_devtools-7 (depending which
version of the linux_base you have).

After that its mostly automatic.  You may need to do things like get
kernel-source, or other bits depending on what you are doing.

4.7->5.0, ran out of space on /

2003-01-22 Thread Kirk R. Wythers
I just ran into a problem trying to install the 5.0 world. I thought I
checked and had 30M free on / before I started this. However, after
building, the world, building the kernel, installing the kernel, running
mergemaster -p, I went to install the world and got the error 'out of
space on /' 

I need to find some room, but I'm a little nervous about what I can rm.
Here is what I'm looking at:

1)   / partition is 79M, 64M are used (I was almost sure there was
more room than that on / before I satarted). 
2)   /tmp is on it's own partition
3)   du -h on subdirectories breakdown like this. 
a.   18M /boot
b.   1.4M /etc
c.   3.7M /kernel
d.   3.9M /kern.GENERIC
e.   6M /modules
f. 21M /sbin
g.   2.1M /stand

as you can see that pretty much accounts for it. The rest of the stuff
is pretty small.

I need to know if I can delete any of this stuff and still successfully
do a 'make installworld'?

Thanks,

Kirk

Ps... sorry about cross posting (I wasn't sure if 5-release qualified
for the stable list)

/boot is something you need to keep since the kernel and the kernel
modules have all been moved to /boot in 5.0
/etc should stay too
/kernel
/kernel.GENERIC
/modules can all be deleted since these are now in /boot
/sbin
/stand
should stay

When there is disk activity, yes.  Try running a couple du's or extract
a couple ports, then run iostat in another window.

FreeBSD's SCSI layer has a cap of 64k per transaction (apparently
because ancient ISA adapters could not do more than 64k), and the ATA
layer has a cap of 128k.  You won't see a difference using regular
disks.  A 20MB/sec transfer rate comes out to ~300 64K
transactions/sec, which most systems should be able to handle with no
problems.

kernel panic problems with hard drive is respect to being on ad0 or ad2

2003-01-22 Thread kitsune
I been having a odd problem. I have one hard drive I use for a acrhive. I currently 
have it on ad0, but if I move it ad2 I get a kernel panic at the first big transfer 
from one disk to another, but the drive works perfectly when on ad0.

Any one know what may be causing this and if it may be a problem with any future disks 
put there?


The board being used in the machine is a rocky-3702EV.

300 x 160Kbit = approx. 46Mbit/sec.  
A new-ish SCSI drive should be able to easily pump out in excess of 200 Mbit/sec.
Your bottleneck will be your ethernet adapter long before your local storage.
Unless your app is designed very poorly.

Restore it from backup.

If you don't have a backup, then you just learnt a very important
lesson.

I don't believe there is any way to recover an overwritten file.

Hi there,

The output of setkey -PD is as follows:

Below is the debug output on both hosts.  Interestingly, both hosts indicate
that the IPSec SA is established but everything falls apart when pfkey sends
the add message.

Re: Problems with IPSec

2003-01-22 Thread Scott Penno
Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm fairly sure that in the cases of DES, 3DES,
MD5 and SHA1, the keylength is fixed.  In any case, when I tried this,
racoon failed while parsing the configuration complaining that a key length
was not allowed.

It looks like the AH key length needs to be forced to 128 bits???

From:
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/utilities/r/rac
oon.conf.html

"For algorithms that can take variable-length keys, algorithm names can be
followed by a key length, like blowfish 448."

Have you tried something along the lines of '3des 128' ?

Just a guess.

Yes, sendamil is listening on port 25.



Mike has suggested that Pine does not need fetchmail. That makes sense. In
the Pine man pages it says c-client is used to access mail severs. I cannot
find help for c-client. Nor do I find a place to tell Pine about my ISP's
pop3 server. In chapter 25 of FreeBSD Unleashed it states that fetchmail is
needed for mutt and Pine.

I chose to install Pine because I believed it to be a beginner's program. I
tried to setup Balsa, and no matter what I place in the settings preferences
I can't get it to work either. It seems a simple problem. I have mail on my
ISP's pop3 server. I want to retrieve it and  read it. "Get this there and
bring it here". It seems simple, but how do I tell FreeBSD to do this?

This is incredibly frustrating. Not just for me, I've gotten email from
another beginner who can't get his mail to work either. Perhaps this is a
question for the documentation project?

FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE & disabling ssh access

2003-01-22 Thread Mantas Kriauciunas
Heya!
ermmm... I just Installed 5.0-RELEASE two days ago and i have a question about adduser.
i am using adduser to add users. on my 4.5 machine i was able to choose, to let users 
use ssh access or don't let them use by adding shell: no , what i found in 5.0 that 
there is no such choise, only this:
Shell (sh csh tcsh bash) [sh]: /sbin/nologin
adduser: ERROR: Invalid shell selection. Using default shell /bin/sh.

so how to disable ssh access for the user? i looked in /etc/passwd , some accounts 
have /sbin/nologin but i wasn't able to do old stile like 4.5 used to let me do. so 
how should i fix this one?
Thanks for your replies!

Make a "share" for the disk(s) you want to backup, then use mount_smbfs
to get at the data.

You may not be successful backing up files in use, not sure, but speculating.
This would prevent successful backup of registry and security/user databases.
I'm almost certain you couldn't restore onto a MS filesystem on top of files
in use, so that would make restoring problematic.

A safe concept would be backup data files (as opposed to system files) not in 
use with tar.

Can it be done: Yes.

The software you'll want to look into is a combination of amanda
(www.amanda.org) and samba (www.samba.org). From the amanda homepage:

"AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a
backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single
master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity
tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back
up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix.
Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows 95/NT
hosts"

The amanda servers and clients are in the ports (
/usr/ports/misc/amanda-client and /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server) as is
samba (/usr/ports/net/samba).

How: is slightly more complicated, but a decent description seems to be
available at: http://www.coe.tamu.edu/cs/amanda/SAMBA

5.0-Won't see second cd-rom / acd1

2003-01-22 Thread Peter
Hello,
Installed 5.0 Release from cdrom, installation / everything is working fine, 
except it won't see my second cd-rom drive: /dev/acd1

I believe I installed FreeBSD from the acd1 drive [not sure], but anyways I have this 
in /etc/fstab:
/dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0
/dev/acd1   /cdrom1 cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0

That was put there automagically. I am able to mount the acd0, but for acd1:

# mount /cdrom1
cd9660: /dev/acd1: No such file or directory
#

#ls /dev/ | grep acd
acd0
acd0a
acd0c

acd0 = DVD
acd1=Lite-On-LTR CD-RW, which is detected in bios startup.

dmesg:

$ dmesg|grep acd
acd0: DVD-ROM  at ata1-master PIO4

.any suggestions ? hints ?

Maildirs and their filesystem overhead/impact

2003-01-22 Thread Darren Pilgrim
I'm currently facing a problem of having used Netscape (now Mozilla) for 
years in Windows and now trying to find something I can regularly use in 
FreeBSD without losing Mozilla in Windows.

I was thinking of something involving IMAP and NFS.  I already have 
Courier-IMAP running, so I can use IMAP with Mozilla in Windows, and use 
either IMAP or NFS-mount my Maildir in FreeBSD.  That part is almost a 
no-brainer.

Moving my Mozilla mail store poses a number of technical questions and 
problems.  I have more than 32,000 emails saved up in 200 folders.  Some 
folders, like the one for the postfix-users list, can have 3000-4000 
messages in them.  For growth, we'll say 5000 messages.

How well would FreeBSD, Courier-IMAP, and postfix be able to handle a 
directory with 5000 files in it?  How about a directory with 200 
subdirectories in it?  I know that the parameters given to newfs can greatly 
impact the suitablility of a filesystem for a given task.  How do I get that 
information from an existing filesystem?  Dumpfs?  Dumpfs spews HUGE amounts 
of information, but I don't know enough to make sense of the output.

I really would like to stick with Maildirs and Courier-IMAP for this.  I 
know CIMAP well and is very fast and stable.  However, if these demands are 
just too much to expect, then can someone please tell me where I can find 
Cyrus for Dummies?

I've used lots of email clients and Pine is my favorite. However, I had 
the same problem you are. First I solved it by setting up postfix to do it 
for me (fix the return address). Then I found I could specify the headers 
in the pine configuration. Go to the setup section of pine (while it's 
running) and setup up headers as I did:

customized-hdrs  = Reply-To: John Bleichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   From: John Bleichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That should clear it up. As I said earlier in this email chain, to just 
plain old 'get going' with email in Unix it's best to use e.g. Netscape or 
Mozilla mail or kmail as they work like the usual email clients. Most 
other Unix clients rely on the system mail to function properly which can 
make them tuff to set up if say your username on the box doesnt match that 
at your ISP.

Hope that helps. I don't know balsa, never used it, but in my first 
several years in Linux/BSD I clung to my Netscape email like a liferaft :)

You are usually better off simply telling your users to add required
include and lib paths to CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  You can manually add
paths by appending to CPPFLAGS at the top of your configure.in, but gcc
will complain if you add a directory that's already in the system's
path, and you risk not including common locations on other systems
(lots of Solaris stuff installs in /opt, for example).  There is no
simple autoconf command for "add this include path if it exists and the
compiler doesn't complain".  I have attached the autoconf code that the
Pike configure script uses; it will detect most common include and lib
paths.  It probably won't work on its own, but it's an example of how
complicated it is when done right.

xf86config(1) is a text-based terminal app. *Which* configuration tool are

I am using the xf86cfg, which takes the graphical display and just makes
the res really small, not letting me see the entire menus.  When I say
small I mean its using like 300 something.  So its really big, is there
some keyboard controls to make it so I can see all of the menu or

xf86config(1) is a text-based terminal app. *Which* configuration tool
are 
you using? Or is this xf86config as seen through /stand/sysinstall?

Re: Xf86config res too small on laptop

I am using the xf86cfg, which takes the graphical display and just makes
the res really small, not letting me see the entire menus.  When I say
small I mean its using like 300 something.  So its really big, is there
some keyboard controls to make it so I can see all of the menu or
something else so I can configure X?


Hi Adam!

I had to actually modify my XF86config file myself to get the laptop
have a greater resolution. I'm using 1024x768 on a Sony VAIO laptop!

As I'm really short on time now, I have to go to work relllyy fast
but I'll send you my config file as soon as possible if you didn't find
the answer before I do it !
It will probably be tonight though (got loads of work).

BTX halted after successful installation of 4.7

2003-01-22 Thread Sandeep Joshi
I was able to install the 4.7 on my machine.
But, during booting I always get "BTX halted" 
message.

Some facts:

1. CPU : p4 2.0 GHZ
2. IDE : 82801DB Ultra ATA
3. Disk : 80GB 4D080H4
4. I had choosen FreeBSF boot mgr 
5. I see Intel IDE controller support in 5.0 but not
   in 4.7
6. When I had tried to install using CD, I got similar
message. "BTX halted". With Floppies I was able to
install.

Anyway, diagostics/suggestions will help. 
I am not part of the "mailing list". Please "CC" me
on your reply.

Thanks and regards.

dd accuracy

2003-01-22 Thread bastill
I had a problem where rm unexpectedly (at least by me!) followed a link to
another drive and deleted my only copy of /home (which is as you know linked to
/usr/home).

I want to free up the /usr area in which /home resides.  Could I do this without
losing the deleted /home I hope to recover by using dd to move the partition to
another drive?

my guess :- 

iostat -Iw 60 -t da

 ad0
KB/tXfrs MB
8.42710.58

so over the period,  71 transfers occurred totalling 0.58MB for an average 
KB/t of (0.58*1024) / /71   = 8.37 KB/t   but maybe the actual avg transfer 
size is recorded and summarized giving that slight variation?.  Try a longer 
period and see, or read the code..   (the math starts around line 
600)
