bug: RELENG_4_8 rc.diskless1 typo
Folks, Just got through debugging a problem with my attempts to netboot FreeBSD. I've found a typo in the RELENG_4_8 etc/rc.diskless1 # $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.diskless1,v 1.5.2.10 2002/12/23 17:39:06 dillon I found it initially in a cvsup from earlier this week, and again in a cvsup from today. I tried RELENG_4, but the typo is fixed. # $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.diskless1,v 1.5.2.13 2003/08/11 13:39:48 fjoe specificly, the correct line is: if [ "x`eval echo \\$md_size_$1`" = "x" ]; then but the RELENG_4_8 version has: if [ "x`eval echo \$md_size_$1`" = "x" ]; then this is in the create_md section. Would it be possible to fix this for RELENG_4_8? --- david raistrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Last > I checked, enabled/disabled were binary operations. It would so appear...but there is this alternative: The firewall is already on. If there is not an explicit disable, it is still on. firewall_enable="NO" wouldnt be a "disable" just a "do nothing. if on, leave on, if off, leave off." It IS confusing though. Especially when man rc.conf says: firewall_enable (bool) Set to ``NO'' if you do not want have firewall rules loaded at startup, or ``YES'' if you do. that sort of implies that it would disable it...but only an implication. I guess that it leaves to the obvious that if it is enabled through a method other then the rc.conf, it is up to the user..er..admin...to know that. anyway. i probably should have read how this all started...:p ...david --- david raistrick (no longer deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

I have to definitely disagree here. The place to read would be man rc.conf, would it not? I obviously missed the first part of this...is the specific variable in question covered in the rc.conf man page? david --- david raistrick (no longer deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
linux_base-6.1 w/o X..
Hey folks. I just installed 20011204 via sysinstall (clean install)...I chose to install XFree4 by hand later, rather then install XFree3 at install. Anyway. Afterwards, in the configuration menu, I enabled linux emulation..or tried. ldconfig warned about /usr/local/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib not existing But when it tried to load the module: "Loading linux kernel module now... link_elf: symbol maxtsiz undefined The linux kernel module could not be loaded. Please enable linux mode manually and retry." Anyone know why this is failing? If it requires X..shouldnt it do some dependancy checks first, then? Hmm. thanks...david --- david raistrick (deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

Oh, and this happened from computers on the same lan segment, as well as from ones that were not.

Strangely > enough, I've seen this before, or something that sounds identical. telnet did the same thing, and anything over a size i dont remember via http did it as well. The workaround I found was to drop the MTU on the ethernet card (a generic ne2k card at the time, no idea what it was plugged into.) down to 512 and it was fine. Move it above 512 and the problems came back. This was with 3.0 and 3.3 release...that machine was only recently pulled out of service. sshd version 1.2.27 [i386-unknown-freebsd3.0], stock telnet, and i'm not sure what apache. (happened to /all/ available clients that i could find..) If i only issued "short" output commands, 1/2 to 1 page (80x24) long, the problem didnt seem to crop up. after that, it would hang. I DID discover that it was still accepting my inputI could do a "w" from another session, and see the "more" that was running on the other tty. hit "q" on the hung session, and i'd drop back to the shell. I could even logout. anyway. ...david --- david raistrick (deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

I was looking into I installed 4.1-2901-STABLE on a dps electronics AMD K6 300, as well as a Compaq Contura 400c (486dx25..). the dps is having some pcmcia problems...it appears that pccardd doesnt notice when cards are inserted or removed. Works fine on the Contura. (at the same time, the previous user of the dps mentioned that he had trouble when inserting removing the cards under windows...so it is likely a hardware problem.) I could /not/ use the 9/1/2k /floppies images for install, though. (ftp) They refused to talk to the (intel etherexpress 10/100) pccmcia lan card. The 4.1-R images had no such problem.

Sudden name resolution problems? 4.0-R (sorry its not stable..)
Sending this to stable, because you folks are used to dealing with wierd problems like this...twice to -questions got no replies. Any ideasthanks -- Ok, yesterday things got wierd. My workstation at work is running 4.0-R, and I recently changed the IP address. I kept the old IP bound as well, for a few weeks, just in case. Well, yesterday i removed the old address from the NIC, and things broke. At least, that is when i noticed them breaking. fetchmail stopped retrieving my mail. The error that fetchmail gives is: fetchmail: reading message 1 of 321 (2776 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< Ken, fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Ok, wierd sez I. think that is wierd? damoe:/home/keen%> telnet damoe.wireless-isp.net damoe.wireless-isp.net: No address associated with hostname damoe:/home/keen%> ssh damoe.wireless-isp.net Host key not found from the list of known hosts.

I've tried all of the nameservers i have handy, including the one running on the workstation...nada. I cant seem to find a way to get telnet to give me anything more verbose for the error, though. I find nothing of it in the logs, either. Suggestions?? Fyi, I did try adding the old IP back to the NIC, same thing. Even swapped everything back to the old ip scheme...nada. What am i missing? I've changed IP addresses on many FreeBSD boxen since 3.0-R...(what can I say, I was a bsd/os guy before that..;) with never a problem..at least not such as this.
