Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question... I need to get Konqueror to display the file I am currently editing in Bluefish. With the Konqueror command line synatax I now have I suppose this has now become a "Bluefish" question. I'll do some research there. BTW - are command line parameters for Konqueror documented anywhere?

Well, I swapped the drives over, put W98 on the first one, they both boot fine and I didn't lose any data. BUT - Windows now sees my BSD disk (which has never happened before) and keeps offering to format it for me. Partition Magic gives its filesystem type as 'BAD' rather than 'FreeBSD/i386', as it used to. Weirdly, Boot Magic (bundled with Partition Magic) found both operating systems with no difficulty. Since this isn't actually causing me a problem, I wouldn't normally care what Windows thinks of my BSD disk, but I'm worried one of my kids will press 'Yes' to a format one day... ...any ideas? su-2.05b# bsdlabel /dev/ad1s1 # /dev/ad1s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2097152 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 2097152 2097152 swap c: 156296322 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 1048576 4194304 4.2BSD 0 0 0 e: 1048576 5242880 4.2BSD 0 0 0 f: 150004866 6291456 4.2BSD 0 0 0 su-2.05b# Thanks, Ben From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jun 6 05:04:34 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D95DF16A4CE for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 05:04:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail816.megamailservers.com (mail816.carrierinternetsolutions.com [69.49.106.26]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 71A3743D2F for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 05:04:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from strick@covad.net) X-POP-User: strick.covad.net Received: from mist.nodomain (h-68-164-175-2.snfccasy.dynamic.covad.net [68.164.175.2])i56C4PiD013064; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 08:04:26 -0400 Received: from mist.nodomain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mist.nodomain (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i56C4PUO001152; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 05:04:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dan@mist.nodomain) Received: (from dan@localhost) by mist.nodomain (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i56C4OAQ001151; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 05:04:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dan) Date: Sun, 6 Jun 2004 05:04:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Strick Message-Id: <200406061204.i56C4OAQ001151@mist.nodomain> To: ben@spooty.net cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dangerous file system / disk problem X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 12:04:35 -0000 On Sun, 6 Jun 2004 12:13:17 +0100, Ben Paley wrote: >> > I wanted to have FreeBSD on my first drive and Win98 on the second, but > of course windows doesn't like being on the second disk, and began > "preparing" my first drive which already had FreeBSD on it!

Do "fdisk ad1" to display the MBR partition table. The FreeBSD slice should say: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) If it says anything else, you can use the command "fdisk -u ad1" to change the MBR partition type code back to 165 (decimal). (Which release of FreeBSD do you run? You used the "bsdlabel" command to display the FreeBSD disk label on /dev/ad1s1. That suggests you are running FreeBSD 5.x. In my experience, release 5.x won't recognize FreeBSD disk labels in non FreeBSD slices and won't create special files for the partitions in /dev. This suggests that your MBR partition type code is actually correct. I dunno ... but it should be worth checking anyway.)

Except for that part, it boots real fast. Can that be configured somehow to make it faster? Thanks in advance. Saludos.

There are ISPs out there that block port 25 to any destination other than their mail server. If you are connected to one of them there is no way to access your ISP's mail server. Thats why we provide support for both ports 25 and 26. I have never seen port 26 blocked. Almost all mail clients provide the ability to change the port it uses. We provide instructions to our users on how to make that change if they need it sl that they can send mail through our server. We do require the use of SMTP-AUTH to avoid an open relay. Blocking port 25 is an attempt to prevent the use of open relays.

There is no problem of changing your smtp email server to listen on port 24, except for the fact that no body on the internet can reach your smtp email server because they will be sending to port 25 which your ISP has blocked and you are not listening on. So for all practical purposes it does nothing for you. Last year I read that zoneedit was developing an port 25 redirect as an companion to their port 80 redirect. Check out www.zoneedit.com to see if it's available yet. Besides ISP blocking port 25, port 80 is also blocked for the same reasons. Once you sign up for the free zoneedit service all your domain name driven traffic passes through zoneedit. You can configure your zoneedit account to redirect port 80 to say port 8080 and then config your web server to listen on port 8080 and you bypass your ISP's block. If zoneedit has it's port 25 redirect available it will allow you to do same thing. Check it out and the other free zoneedit like companies out there. One of then may have port 25 redirect working. If you find any please report back to this thread for the archives. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Doug Hardie Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 12:29 PM To: Mark Cc: Gerard Seibert; freebsd-questions Subject: Re: Changing SendMail Port Number On Jun 5, 2004, at 17:35, Mark wrote: > Gerard Seibert wrote: > >> This is probably a stupid question, but how do I change the SMTP port >> number that SendMail listens in on?

The symptoms were that the host type was being misread as kfreebsd/gnu suggesting I had some Debian/FreeBSD frankenhost, and shared libraries would fail to build on most ports. With some research from Pav Lucistnik , a rogue file -- /usr/include/features.h -- was discovered and removed. It's dated Nov 21, 2001, and is claimed by no package so I have no idea how it got there. But as far as I can tell, that was the culprit.

I don't feel confident making any changes in Windows, however, because it seems as though my only option there would be to format the partition!

I looked in my firewall log file and I see that at the time I was doing -MCPAN, I have an inbound port 21 packets that I deny and log. I do not allow remote ftp access to my system as I do not have an ftp server.

If you install programs manually you have mostly a option in the ./configure script that enables you to select a prefix. Mostly that prefix will be /usr/local/, there all non default applications will be installed. (./configure --prefix=/usr/local) Also, perhaps it's better to use the ports on a FreeBSD system, you can upgrade them easy with "portupgrade" and they all get installed in the /usr/local directories.

You have to run "use.perl port" after you update perl to a new level. You will find all of the p5-* in the old perl links. In addition, some of the older automake[s] have the perl version you were running at the time you installed them as the first line of the script. One these has been set, you can run your portupgrade.

THIS IS A CLEAR MESSAGE In a similar way changes were made for apache-2.0.49_2 BUT WHAT DOES THIS PKG-MESSAGE MEAN??? "Since 2.0.49_2, apache startup script is now enabled/disabled via rc.subr. Available variables: - apache2_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default. Set it to "YES" to enable apache2 - apache2ssl_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default. Set it to "YES" to start apache with SSL (if exists in httpd.conf) - apache2limits_enable (bool):Set to "NO" by default. Set it to yes to run `limits $limits_args` just before apache starts. - apache2_flags (str): Set to "" by default. Extra flags passed to start command - apache2limits_args (str): Default to "-e -U %%WWWOWN%%" Arguments of pre-start limits run." Should also some lines be addes to rc.conf ?????? Which one???

I mean, I have a server running, to which I have no physical access. The only way to maintain it, is over SSH. The upgrade instructions in INSTALL.txt suggest putting in the CD, and using sysinstall for a binary upgrade. That is no option for me. What I am looking for is an upgrade method which - can be used over an SSH connection - is not too difficult (like manually placing each piece in the right place) - does not leave old stuff on the HD (like the sysinstall method does, AFAIK) ... to make it short, something like the ports system (especially portupgrade) does with non-system apps would be cool. Is there a way to achieve that?

I use CVSup to update my system and then rebuild as described in the /usr/src/Makefile file, (yeah yeah there is a UPDATING file on should follow), the only thing that i am not doing, since i dont have physical access as well, is boot into single user mode and run mergemaster, mostly i am keen of knowing what changes , so far on my 5.x servers there weren't any issue's requiring mergemaster to run. Apart from that i updated my systems many times, without being in single user mode, with an ssh connection. Hope this helps a bit.. ow yeah /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui is where the cvsup lives :) Cheers > > Is there a way to achieve that?

I am wondering - FreeBSD has built such a nice thing like the ports system. It's a work of genius.

Is it not possible to 'port' the System stuff into the ports system (or a different ports system, say, the 'system ports' or something like that). Just an idea. Ok, are there other ways? Isn't there a script, which places the new archives over the old ones, and removes the stuff, that's left from the old system?

If you do an installworld before you do an installkernel, you have to use the fixit CD to fix it. For a while, they thought you had to do a clean install. I have no idea what happens if you boot to a 5.2 kernel with a 5.1 userland. The ports are entirely different because they don't deal with basic things such as fs'es. Somewhere in the 5.2 chain is the port problem with pthreads. You can count on rebuilding all of your ports that use pthreads. Portupgrade does a lot of what you talk about but I always use puf and it avoids moving the libraries in to the compat directory.

I installed 4.10 from minin.iso and I have same problem about not being able to run perl -MCPAN -e shell command. Something is wrong with the perl CPAN conf files that are part of the FBSD system. Problem may also be in the perl port as well.

You have to run "use.perl port" after you update perl to a new level. You will find all of the p5-* in the old perl links. In addition, some of the older automake[s] have the perl version you were running at the time you installed them as the first line of the script. One these has been set, you can run your portupgrade.

I am not too familiar with the internals of FreeBSD. But I really think, that in the long run, FreeBSD must have a more clever software managment for the system stuff. Something like 'apt-get dist-upgrade' comes to mind, or 'emerge -Ud world'. It should be possible to track what changes from one point release to the next one, and do most of the upgrade stuff automatically (excluding most configuration) and without a CD. Rebuilding the ports tree stuff after the upgrade is not the problem (because this is already managed in a very good way). All I want is not reinstalling the system after every few releases. The FreeBSD team should care about an possibility to easily upgrade from at least one point release to another. Only my suggestion.

There is no way around that condition when that happens. The 5.1 to 5.2 case is special just because 5.x is development branch. You would not see this in stable branch upgrades. Now I think I read about an case where an person had two remote headless systems and he set each one up with an serial console to the other system. So he could have ssh session to box A which had serial console connection to box B that he then could put box B into single user mode to do mergemaster and return back to multi user mode. Then he would use ssh session to box B who had serial console connection to box A and do same thing to box A. So there is an way around your remote problem as long as you have two boxes at same remote location. You know the real simple solution is to do your upgrade to local box and remove hard disk and ship it to remote location and have short downtime while hard drives are swapped. All ways have an single IDE drive just for your operation system separate from your data drives. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Kent Stewart Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 5:49 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: Remko Lodder; Roman Kennke Subject: Re: Upgrading FreeBSD to a new release On Sunday 06 June 2004 02:44 pm, Remko Lodder wrote: > Hey Roman, > > Roman Kennke wrote: > > Hi list, > > > > One thing, that is making me _not_ using FreeBSD is, that I see no > > way to easily upgrade from, say 5.1 to 5.2 (just an example), over > > network.

In particular, the entry: 20040531: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 It may be of some help. Its a good idea to get into the habit of reading and following the instructions in UPDATING.

It describes the standard method of updating the system via source. Not a difficult process, although it can be time-consuming. It works; one of my servers started at 4.1, and is now running 4.10. Problems arise when you switch branches (4.x to 5.x), and apparently there have been difficulties in the 5.x branch. But 5.x is not a release version yet, so that's to be expected. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jun 6 16:34:21 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5BB0416A4CE for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 16:34:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from outmx005.isp.belgacom.be (outmx005.isp.belgacom.be [195.238.2.102]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEF4A43D1F for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 16:34:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from geert@lori.mine.nu) Received: from outmx005.isp.belgacom.be (localhost [127.0.0.1]) with ESMTP id i56NYEc0019086 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 01:34:14 +0200 (envelope-from ) Received: from lori.mine.nu (25.6-200-80.adsl.skynet.be [80.200.6.25]) with ESMTP id i56NY8sp019046 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 01:34:08 +0200 (envelope-from ) Received: by lori.mine.nu (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 4EAD5D65; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 01:34:07 +0200 (CEST) Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 01:34:06 +0200 From: Geert Hendrickx To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20040606233406.GA485@lori.mine.nu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2i X-GPG-Key: http://www.win.ua.ac.be/~s005085/gnupgkey.txt X-GPG-Key-ID: 1024D/766C1E92 X-Accept-Language: nl,en Subject: suggestions for optimal filesystem-layout over multiple harddrives?

But what would be an optimal filesystem-layout on, say, two disks of equal size? Swap should evidently be spread equally over the different drives. As for the filesystems, say I'd have a large /usr and /home, each on one harddrive, and smaller /, /var and /tmp which could reside on either disk. / and /usr would be mostly read-only. Any suggestions?

Take a look at man rc.conf for more examples of this. Whether or not you need additional apache2 settings in /etc/rc.conf will depend on what you need. Chances are, if you don't know what they mean, then you won't need them. There has been an update to the pkg-message: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200406062153.i56LrItr083680 Often, you may find discussions in the archives relating to an issue you're having. I use the google-freebsd: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=mailing.freebsd You can limit it to just the FreeBSD mailing lists by checking the appropriate circle. Try that and search for "apache2_enable" and it'll turn up yesterday's discussion of this same topic. Hope this helps some.

In fact, most spammers forge all parts of an email, except the last connecting IP address in the headers (the one your ISP shows connection to). Sorry, it would do no good as you have presented this currently. You must trace the last IP address to whom owns that address, and send the full email, including headers to their abuse dept.

My first installation of FreeBSD was 2.0.5. Since then I have done a clean install for x.0 releases - as a matter of policy (excuse to upgrade hardware, plus it cleans out orphaned files) but not necessity. (Or am I not remembering a red flag day between 2.x and 3.0?) Between .0s, I have successfully upgraded using the method described in the handbook. These days I'm more worried about a port upgrade trashing a config file. Have I had problems? Yes. All of them turned out to be hardware-related or me doing something stupid that broke the process.

Thus: You should first update your sources through cvsup, and then install them , or upgrade them via the ports system, or using portupgrade (For the upgrade).

But you shouldn't track -CURRENT then, since -CURRENT developers tend to produce some horrible bugs every two or three months.

This ensures that whatever you build will be using the updated code for the branch you are tracking. However, this is not like the binary upgrades you can do with some Linux distributions like Debian's apt-get where it actually installs the updated distribution as it downloads--as far as your running system is concerned, no actual update occurs until you do a make buildworld/make installworld, make buildkernel/make installkernel, or install a particular port using the updated source code. Portupgrade then uses the updated source code for the ports collection to actually compile and install the selected port. cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile and cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile separately update the sources for the FreeBSD version you are tracking and the ports collection--if you are running both every time you can combine them in a single cvsupfile that updates everything in a single pass.

To upgrade my system completely, I usually run: # cd /usr/ports && make update && portupgrade -Oar If any of these commands fail (eg if make update fails) the command following it will not be executed. It's an easy way of upgdating the system in one go. Alternatively you can run them one by one if you wish. The 'make update' portion will update the ports tree (the software library/catalogue if you like) and the portupgrade portion of the command will start updating software from this tree. -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999 Dog for sale: Eats lots and is fond of children.

I have read all the docs I could possibly find - from both the Exim website and FreeBSD.org. I also tried newsgroups. Installing Exim from the ports is easy - installs fine, and with couple edits to mailer.conf and rc.conf - exim starts right up and works fine. But I need to make some changes _prior_ to the first "make". This is the problem. Running the "make" command in the /usr/ports/mail/exim directory will ultimately create all the necessary files and directories. Exim documentation clearly instructs that you need to create a Local/Makefile file with settings that need to be incorporated into the make of the binary. I created the Local/Makefile file, with the necessary changes - but the "make" process ignores this file. The "make" process does create a series of subdirectories, including a "Local" directory. Very confusing because I thought this would need to be immediately under the main exim directory in order to work. Plus I thought it was necessary that the "Local" directory be present _BEFORE_ you run the first "make" - but there is no "Local" directory until you run "make" for the first time. This is a catch 22. I need to add some build-time settings beyond the defaults in order to run Exim on my system. I'm thinking that I'm making a fundemental mistake here, but I can't figure out what it is. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Lonnie P.S. This is FreeBSD 4.10 Release, Exim 4.32.

It's wise to first check the Makefile in the ports directory to see a list of options you can build with that particular port. For example, to build Exim with the Cyrus SASL authentication daemon one would issue the command: make WITH_SASLAUTHD=3Dyes install or make -DWITH_SASLAUTHD You can naturally add as many options one after the other. The Makefile already contains a bunch of default settings which you can enable or disable but you shouldn't make these changes to the actual Makefile as this will just be overwritten on your next ports update. You may also wish to make a note of all your build-time settings and add them to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf so the next time you update Exim the same settings will be used. The pkgtools.conf file is the configuration file that comes with portupgrade ( /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade ) Cheers, --=20 Nelis Lamprecht PGP: http://www.8ball.co.za/pgpkey/nelis.asc "Unix IS user friendly..

I agree. How can I benchmark my just my USB controller? Right now all I can say is that I've got a Netgear FA120 network interface plugged into a USB port and I can't squeeze more than 4Mb/s out of it. It's USB 2.0 compliant and should get close to 100Mb/s. I get faster results out of my old 10Mb ISA card. That's not necessarily any indication of a problem with the USB controller, but I don't know how to rule it out. At this point I'm suspicious of every piece of hardware and software in the box. It may very well be a problem with the Netgear device. The box claims it may not be compatible with some laptop "pc card" USB 2.0 controllers based on the NEC chip. My USB controller isn't in a laptop but it is run by an NEC chip. The Indian gentleman at Netgear's call center couldn't give me any more information about the incompatibility than what was printed on the box, and I don't have any other USB 2.0 controllers to test with, so I don't know if that's the problem or not.

I would rather link it to the /usr partition, which is about 55G. My common sense tells me that I should just link /var/mail to /usr/mail or something like that, and to copy the original /var/mail content to /usr/mail. Please correct me if I am wrong.

After building and installing a new kernel and world from 4.9-Stable to 4.10-Stable the ppp-Deamon can't connect to my isp anymore. I have to switch to the old kernel to get it up and running again. Because ppp is working with the old kernel and ppp-config very well there must be some changes in the kernelconfig-file which i did not see. dmesg on the 4.10 Kernel says that every network interface is there, up and running. Does someone have had the same problem or a hint of what went wrong??

But i do know that postfix can change it's mailqueue dir..It's a setting grep '/var' main.cf :-) and change that to your new directory. At least that is what i did and it worked.

This is very scary, but thanks for the advice. I had some more advice (not sure if it went to the list or not) to try setting the second partition as unused (sysid=0), so I might try that first to see whether I can avoid risking destroying everything and making my family hate me.

I'll suggest something sacrilegious - beg, borrow or steal a copy of Windows 2000 - it doesn't mind being installed on the second hard disk.

The fact that the attempt is being rejected with that message means it is, indeed, the remote end. Send your mail through your ISPs relay. If you have problems with your ISPs relay, get a better ISP. I do this on my mail server, and a lot of other people refuse mail from dynamic ips ... this is an attempt to stop the _hundreds_ of spams I was getting each day. Run a real mail server, use your ISP's relay or accept that people are going to block you. Peroid. The internet is not a friendly place. I block dynamic IPs for the same reason I lock my doors at night, because if I don't people abuse my kindness. The fact that it also keeps out friendly people sometimes is something I don't like, but have to live with. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 13:22:29 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C64BF16A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 13:22:29 +0000 (GMT) Received: from jive.SoftHome.net (jive.SoftHome.net [66.54.152.27]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 614F043D45 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 13:22:29 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from carnaily@softhome.net) Received: (qmail 8154 invoked by uid 417); 7 Jun 2004 13:22:20 -0000 Received: from shunt-smtp-out-0 (HELO softhome.net) (172.16.3.12) by shunt-smtp-out-0 with SMTP; 7 Jun 2004 13:22:20 -0000 Received: from Smartster ([81.1.195.2]) (AUTH: LOGIN carnaily@softhome.net) by softhome.net with esmtp; Mon, 07 Jun 2004 07:22:18 -0600 To: Lenny Thompson , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <000d01c44bc8$99238200$e5e02c50@Mydomain> Message-ID: From: Andreas Carnaily Organization: Stanbury Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=koi8-r Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 14:22:19 -0000 In-Reply-To: <000d01c44bc8$99238200$e5e02c50@Mydomain> User-Agent: Opera7.23/FreeBSD M2 build 518 X-Mime-Autoconverted: from 8bit to 7bit by courier 0.38 Subject: Re: ISPs blocking SMTP connections from dynamic IP address space X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 13:22:29 -0000 On Sun, 6 Jun 2004 14:17:12 +0100, Lenny Thompson wrote: > Hi Nicole > > I wonder if you can help me.

Many mail servers are configured filtering mailers with IP addresses listed in some DNS based blacklists. Course many spammers doing their black works on dinamic IP spools (listed in DSBL I think), many of mailservices using this blacklist. Try to findout your IP there: http://www.declude.com/JunkMail/Support/ip4r.htm There you can read about antispam technology.

I'm sure this is an easy one for someone out there. Here's what I'd like to do, and hoping someone out there knows a simple way to do this without ripping my hair out. Scenario: *Two servers, Server1 and Server2. *I want Server1 to copy a set of files from Server2 on a regular basis using cron and scp. I should be able to do that by just generating a ssh key and automating the login from Server1 into Server2. *problem; on server1, I'm going to have two directories: ~/archive and ~/workingdir. I want the scp to move the files from server2 to ~/workingdir, tar and zip them as a file name with a date attached (like backup06072004.tgz) to make the filename distinctive, then move that file from ~/workingdir to ~/archive. The filename would need to be distinctive both to allow for reference when needing to restore a snapshot and also to keep the archives from overwriting each other when moved over. Is there a simple way to do this with a script running from cron? -Bart From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 15:11:43 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA65B16A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 15:11:43 +0000 (GMT) Received: from adsl-68-76-19-75.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net (adsl-68-76-19-75.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net [68.76.19.75]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE32643D46 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 15:11:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from Luke@FoolishGames.com) Received: from TIEFIGHTER (adsl-65-42-187-205.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net [65.42.187.205]) (authenticated bits=0)ESMTP id i57FB3Ol073942; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 11:11:15 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from Luke@FoolishGames.com) Message-Id: <200406071511.i57FB3Ol073942@adsl-68-76-19-75.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net> From: "Lucas Holt" To: "'Bill Moran'" , "'Lenny Thompson'" Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 11:10:57 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 In-Reply-To: <20040607085739.352eba17.wmoran@potentialtech.com> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2096 Thread-Index: AcRMjyGK/nRB4ewPQBSwlMPvffkk1wAEYHvQ X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version 0.71, clamav-milter version 0.71 X-Virus-Status: Clean cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: ISPs blocking SMTP connections from dynamic IP address space X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 15:11:43 -0000 Just make sure they are truly dynamic ips. Many people block ips identified as "DSL" connections. Those are not necessarily dynamic ip based. My mail server runs on a business package dsl with 5 static ips. Not everyone can afford T1/T3 connections. As for getting a "real mail server", that would involve colo or getting a T1. My dsl package is only ~$50 a month. Much cheaper than colo and I can get physical access to the box whenever I want. SBC allocates separate class C's for dedicated customers. I'm sure its possible to distingish the two. As for the 550: Spammer message, that is definetely on the other end. Some anti-spam add-ons for mail servers automatically reject mail like this. In addition, admins often block specific domains or ip addresses manually in their config files. I have about 15 ips and domains in my sendmail config file because of repeat offenders who send spam or viruses.

You have to fix things between these two releases in single user. In my case, the userland wouldn't completely install. I had to manually copy files from the build directory to their locations on the file system in order to get this to work. Not all the files, but enough to get the install to work. You can pull this off on the 4.x tree without a hitch. I did upgrades from 4.7 to 4.8 to 4.8 stable to 4.9 release remotely on a machine without a problem.

When I refer to servers that are NOT real mail servers, I mean mail software running on a dhcp IP (thus I can't set a policy for it based on its behaviour, because it moves around) or software such as mail-bomb software, spam bots, or malware. What you should do to get it noticed as such is get a PTR record that matches your forward DNS name. Sometimes this can be tough, as consumer-level DSL providers that provide DSL to businesses as well often don't _really_ understand how this works, or why it's even necessary. Just persist and it'll get handled. Complain that you're having trouble sending mail because their DNS is poorly set up and continue to push and they'll finally come around. Every time I've done this, it's been resolved eventually. Heck, you might even find that they'll be able to do it easily. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 15:45:04 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A2F4516A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 15:45:04 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp1.adl2.internode.on.net (smtp1.adl2.internode.on.net [203.16.214.181]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0491743D2D for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 15:45:04 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from malcolm.kay@internode.on.net) Received: from beta.home (ppp129-18.lns1.adl2.internode.on.net [150.101.129.18])i57Fit4Y000892; Tue, 8 Jun 2004 01:14:56 +0930 (CST) From: Malcolm Kay Organization: at home To: Ben Paley , Dan Strick Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 01:14:54 +0930 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.4 References: <200406061204.i56C4OAQ001151@mist.nodomain> <200406061931.48361.ben@spooty.net> In-Reply-To: <200406061931.48361.ben@spooty.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200406080114.54447.malcolm.kay@internode.on.net> cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dangerous file system / disk problem X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 15:45:04 -0000 On Monday 07 June 2004 04:01, Ben Paley wrote: > su-2.05b# fdisk ad1 > ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* > parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: > cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) > > Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 > parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: > cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) > > Media sector size is 512 > Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 > Information from DOS bootblock is: > The data for partition 1 is: > sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) > start 63, size 156296322 (76316 Meg), flag 80 (active) > beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; > end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 > The data for partition 2 is: > sysid 14 (0x0e),(Primary 'big' DOS (>= 32MB, LBA)) > start 156296385, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 0 Notice the size recorded for this slice is zero.

I wonder whether you had the BIOS re-detect the disks after the swap. Maybe the BIOS still thinks the size is that of the disk previously in that position. And sysinstall and windows are both confused by the near zero apparent size of the windows partition. What do you believe is the total disk capacity? Since the slice 2 size is less than 32Mb then sysinstall knows that it can't really have a sysid of 14. Malcolm > > > (Which release of FreeBSD do you run?

I've sent close to a dozen messages to the FreeBSD list since Saturday, and not one has gotten through. I'm running sendmail on FreeBSD 4.10, and relaying through Verizon's authenticated SMTP system. The thing is that I am also using Zoneedit to convince the world that keyslapper.org is at my current IP, and this is reset every time I get a new IP. This means that when a relay does a lookup on the message, it sees it is a DHCP (DSL) address, and the message is stopped - by the FreeBSD list server in many cases. I've even sent mail from Netscape, using the Verizon SMTP relay directly, and the same thing happens. Ditto from work. Just because leblanc.eng.mirrorimage.net is on a private ip and doesn't resolve outside doesn't mean it isn't a real legitimate system. It's pretty annoying. Since Friday afternoon, all email I've sent to addresses other than hotmail, my employer, and internally, have been blocked somewhere. If this email makes it to the list, it will be the first in awhile.

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're doing, but regardless, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. First off, the only DNS info that mx1.freebsd.org checks is the server it's actually talking to. In the case of this last message, that's mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net: Received: from mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net (mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net [209.58.140.11]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D90343D1D for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:01:45 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from leblanc@keyslapper.org) Now, if you're sending this route, and having trouble getting messages through, then it's a config problem with the mirrorimage.net folks. However, if you're trying to send directly from this machine: Received: from keyslapper.org (LEBLANC [10.10.4.59]) by triton.int.mirrorimage.net with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id MJT1GA4V; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 12:01:38 -0400 Then the problem is not that it thinks that you are a dhcp addy, but that your HELO/EHLO announcement is calling the server "LEBLANC", which isn't even a valid DNS name, and therefore fails the lookup check. > I've even sent mail from Netscape, using the Verizon SMTP relay > directly, and the same thing happens.

And the fact that you're on a private IP _does_ mean that you're not a real mail server. Per RFC-1918, those addresses are NOT part of the Internet, therefore, there's no reason for any mail server to accept that there's a real server there. The only machine that has to recognize that IP is the NAT gateway that translates that IP into a real one. But, then again, from the last email you sent, this isn't your problem. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 16:54:14 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DBEC316A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:54:14 +0000 (GMT) Received: from out014.verizon.net (out014pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.46]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7128B43D53 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:54:14 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from leblanc@keyslapper.org) Received: from keyslapper.org ([151.203.117.82]) by out014.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.06 201-253-122-130-106-20030910) with ESMTP id <20040605220232.ICBD24784.out014.verizon.net@keyslapper.org> for ; Sat, 5 Jun 2004 17:02:32 -0500 Received: from keyslapper.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by keyslapper.org (8.12.8p1/8.12.8) with ESMTP id i55M2Z1M028373 for ; Sat, 5 Jun 2004 18:02:36 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from leblanc@keyslapper.org) Received: (from leblanc@localhost) by keyslapper.org (8.12.8p1/8.12.8/Submit) id i55M2Zdo028372 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sat, 5 Jun 2004 18:02:35 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 18:02:34 -0400 From: Louis LeBlanc To: FreeBSD Questions Message-ID: <20040605220234.GA28328@keyslapper.org> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD Questions Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH at out014.verizon.net from [151.203.117.82] at Sat, 5 Jun 2004 17:02:32 -0500 Subject: HP all in 1 2510 printer X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 16:54:15 -0000 Hey everyone. I have a question I'm not really expecting a completely positive answer to, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I just got a nice shiny new HP PSC 2510 printer, scanner, copier, fax doodad. It's network capable, running its own print server, etc. Thing is, I don't want it to be totally wasted on the Windoze machine, so I'd like to at least print from FreeBSD. Anyone know if the two play nice? I have no print packages installed yet, but I'll gladly install ports to get it working. If I can at least get some printing, I'll be thrilled.

Some of the largest ISPs in the country, including AOL, are blocking what they consider ``residential dsl'' in an attempt to stem the flood of spam and worms that are propagated through owned Microsoft Windows machines on broadband connections. The majority of spam today is sent through zombified Windows boxes that either are open proxies or have spammer software installed on them that ``calls home'' to the spammer's servers to get spam and lists of addresses to deliver. Several months ago I installed a Linux server at one of our customer sites running postfix on a QWest dynamic DSL line, and found that AOL was blocking their SMTP connection with an immediate message saying that they refused connections from ``residential'' DSL connections, and disconnecting immediately without presenting an SMTP header. I redirected all the traffic to AOL through one of our mail servers here using the postfix ``transport'' mechanism, and had the customer order the smallest fixed IP block that QWest offered. As soon as that block was working, their server could connect to AOL's servers without a problem, leading me to believe that AOL and QWest are co-operating to distinguish between the dynamic and fixed IP blocks.

More details about the USB performance in terms of numbers you are seeing from some benchmark would be very useful. [ For instance, I know that I can get about 90% utilization of Firewire by seeing a 45MB/s transfer rate for an external Maxtor 5000 combo drive, and I get 1.5MB/s transfers for USB 1, but I haven't had a chance to benchmark the unit using USB 2.

Well, a 33MHz PCI bus is still twice as fast as USB 2, but your MB is old enough that pushing two devices might be enough to saturate the chipset-- so you might see a difference between dd'ing between the USB device to /dev/null, and from the USB device to, say, a hard drive. > I installed pciutils-2.1.11_1 and ran "lspci -vv" to get the following log. > > Should I be disturbed by the "66Mhz-" status on everything except the > RAID card, which is "66MHz+"?

Your motherboard is one of the earlier 66MHz FSB boards, and my memory suggests that the FX and maybe the VX had serious issues involving broken support for doing L2 caching if you had more than 64MB of RAM, and stuff like that. I think the HX fixed some but not all of of those issues, and the LX was the final revision which was quite good for the time. Dell used the LX motherboards ("Aladdin"?) for most of their PII systems, until replaced by the 100MHz FSB and motherboards with the relatively famous BX chipset. There's nothing wrong with P2-grade hardware, however, other than being dated, and I'm happier using comparitively cheap P3-grade processors today rather than P4-based spaceheaters, or AMD even, and using the cost savings on better equipment elsewhere in the system. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 17:18:23 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DEC0216A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 17:18:23 +0000 (GMT) Received: from out002.verizon.net (out002pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.141]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7941B43D5A for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 17:18:23 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from cswiger@mac.com) Received: from [192.168.1.3] ([68.161.84.3]) by out002.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.06 201-253-122-130-106-20030910) with ESMTP id <20040607051059.VWXQ9273.out002.verizon.net@[192.168.1.3]>; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 00:10:59 -0500 Message-ID: <40C3F8E2.5010203@mac.com> Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 01:10:58 -0400 From: Chuck Swiger Organization: The Courts of Chaos User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Geert Hendrickx References: <20040606233406.GA485@lori.mine.nu> In-Reply-To: <20040606233406.GA485@lori.mine.nu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH at out002.verizon.net from [68.161.84.3] at Mon, 7 Jun 2004 00:10:59 -0500 cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: suggestions for optimal filesystem-layout over multiple harddrives?

There is nothing wrong with the approach you are taking, and it will indeed help balance load out between multiple spindles. That being said, you have to know (by measuring) or at least predict what your I/O access patterns are between the various filesystems in order to gain full advantage. An easier way of balancing load between two or more drives involves using RAID-0 striping, although the drives do not have to be equal in size. Commodity ATA RAID controllers like Highpoint, Promise, & 3ware are fairly cheap, or one could use software RAID like vinum. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 7 17:18:41 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4DAA616A4CE for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 17:18:41 +0000 (GMT) Received: from out008.verizon.net (out008pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.108]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D328F43D60 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 17:18:40 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from leblanc@keyslapper.org) Received: from keyslapper.org ([141.154.45.91]) by out008.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.06 201-253-122-130-106-20030910) with ESMTP id <20040606081636.WCJU27801.out008.verizon.net@keyslapper.org> for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 03:16:36 -0500 Received: from keyslapper.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by keyslapper.org (8.12.11/8.12.8) with ESMTP id i568GZfq021661 for ; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 04:16:35 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from leblanc@keyslapper.org) Received: (from leblanc@localhost) by keyslapper.org (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i568GZfq021660 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sun, 6 Jun 2004 04:16:35 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from leblanc) Date: Sun, 6 Jun 2004 04:16:35 -0400 From: Louis LeBlanc To: FreeBSD Questions Message-ID: <20040606081634.GA17866@keyslapper.org> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD Questions Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH at out008.verizon.net from [141.154.45.91] at Sun, 6 Jun 2004 03:16:36 -0500 Subject: Printing to a network photosmart printer X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 17:18:41 -0000 I don't know why I never saw my original post come through, but I can only assume it got shot down between me and the list server.

I sincerely hope so. If that's the case, I can probably fix it from home. My sendmail config (on keyslapper) authenticates to outgoing.verizon.net, and sends all mail for keyslapper.org. Since I use mutt and keep an IMAP server on keyslapper, I often send mail from work for my keyslapper.org accounts.

I'm running postfix on my FreeBSD box there, and I'm still using the default. I should set this up to relay directly through our SMTP server. I honestly don't know why it went to keyslapper.org at all (I mostly work with HTTP server stuff, and am woefully short on mail protocol understanding). I sent from leblanc, my FreeBSD machine at work, running postfix. > Then the problem is not that it thinks that you are a dhcp addy, but > that your HELO/EHLO announcement is calling the server "LEBLANC", > which isn't even a valid DNS name, and therefore fails the lookup > check.

Not from that point. That message was sent from Netscape using our SMTP relay rather than the localhost postfix. This message is being sent from my home system (keyslapper.org) which is a DSL system on a dynamic IP. I hope you don't mind I'm copying you (normally I would never do this), in case the group doesn't get it. I'm copying myself at work as well so I can look at the headers more closely. It looks like I have 2 mail problems here. One is at work: my default postfix config is not appropriate for the way I use it. The other is at home. Not entirely sure *what* the cause is there, but through the magic of ssh, the flexibility of mutt, and a little luck, this message might just provide enough info to figure it out.

Consider the following script. You may want to switch to using scp rather than rsync, and you may choose to hardcode the SSH key rather than passing it in as the first argument. You might also want to change how $DESTROOT is set to match the paths you want to use. Finally, you will want to add something like: cd ${DESTROOT}/..

My big question is why? AFAIK, you cannot have more than one default gateway, unless you are using netgraph to balance between network interfaces. However, you could NAT C & D to their respective "public" interfaces. If E is a real IP, then the NATed traffic should flow to that interface. I would suggest using pf, as it is a most excellent firewall package. Here is the section of a PF guide regarding NAT. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/nat.html Your rules would look like this (these are from memory, so sanity check them): -- #define your interfaces as macros: A = "fxp0" B = "fxp1" C = "fxp2" D = "fxp3" E = "fxp4" #define your NAT translations using our macros: nat on $A from ($C:network) to any -> $A nat on $B from ($D:network) to any -> $B #define your filtering rules: ... -- However, you will find that route add will not allow multiple default routes. You must use another package to allow for that, or at least it is beyond my knowledge. Let me know if you figure it out, I would be very interested.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/index.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. When sending a new message, well, send a new message. Don't reply to some other message, erase the old content and change the subject line. That leaves an In-reply-to: header which many mail readers use to thread messages, so your message shows up as a reply to some other message. People often delete messages a whole thread at a time, so apart from irritating people, you also run a chance of having the message deleted unread. 4. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 5. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 6. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 7. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 8. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 9. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. Use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. 11. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like. $Id: Howto-ask-questions,v 1.4 2003/03/09 22:09:31 grog Exp $ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 17:02:01 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 645) id D73CB16A4D1; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:02:00 +0000 (GMT) To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Message-Id: <20040611170200.D73CB16A4D1@hub.freebsd.org> Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:02:00 +0000 (GMT) From: grog@FreeBSD.ORG (Greg Lehey) Subject: "The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:02:01 -0000 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

This may or may not be an option for you: both IBM and HP (Compaq) offer remote supervisor cards that offer network access to the machine, even when it is booting, etc. You can use it to access the BIOS, watch the machine boot, get into single user mode, etc, all from your chair in another city.

I saw u'r question on the freebsd-board. I have a Thinkpad 600x and the same problem with bsd and pcmcia-cards as well. Since i'm a totaly new into bsd - i've no idea where to start on sloving that issue. So i hope that you managed to get pcmcia-cards working on the TP600x and can give me a little hint. By the way mine is Siemens i-gate11 prism2 wlancard - along several other "normal" networkcard that i tried. I hope you can help me with this and Thanx in advance Olaf From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 17:43:34 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CAE6A16A4CE for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:43:34 +0000 (GMT) Received: from hotmail.com (bay2-f163.bay2.hotmail.com [65.54.247.163]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6B7C43D2F for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:43:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from vishal_kochhar@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 10:43:24 -0700 Received: from 199.93.176.7 by by2fd.bay2.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:43:23 GMT X-Originating-IP: [199.93.176.7] X-Originating-Email: [vishal_kochhar@hotmail.com] X-Sender: vishal_kochhar@hotmail.com From: "vishal kochhar" To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:43:23 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 11 Jun 2004 17:43:24.0025 (UTC) FILETIME=[98071690:01C44FDB] Subject: contributing: addition of package X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 17:43:34 -0000 Hi, This question is related to addition of a package (not related to OS or kernel) to freebsd. I read from the contribution page about 'value-added' packages. Is it related only to OS related packages or other s/w's like compilers etc too? I am wondering if this small piece of utility will be of any use: it is a C++ unit test framework, quite flexible, simple, high-quality, and very powerful. Provides many features and capabilites for automated testing. I have tested it for Solaris, linux, and Windows so far (plan to release for bsd this week). Release under BSD license (on sourceforge). http://www.oaklib.org/docs/oak/test/marticle/oakut.html Could something like this be contributed?

The Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter mentioned above was recognized as ubt0. Also, 'hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry' returns its hardware information, including its BD_ADDR. I'm new to this bluetooth stuff, and I still have to customize the OS, so I haven't gotten any further in testing.

This may or may not be an option for you: both IBM and HP (Compaq) offer remote supervisor cards that offer network access to the machine, even when it is booting, etc. You can use it to access the BIOS, watch the machine boot, get into single user mode, etc, all from your chair in another city. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 18:11:51 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 47F8016A4CE for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:11:51 +0000 (GMT) Received: from sdf.lonestar.org (ol.freeshell.org [192.94.73.20]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C198E43D39 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:11:50 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from ppp@sdf.lonestar.org) Received: from sdf.lonestar.org (IDENT:ppp@otaku.freeshell.org [192.94.73.2]) by sdf.lonestar.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i5BIBT1J007124 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:11:29 GMT Received: (from ppp@localhost) by sdf.lonestar.org (8.12.10/8.12.8/Submit) id i5BIBTpv028995 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 13:11:29 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 13:11:29 -0500 From: Peter Pauly To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20040611181129.GB17132@sdf.lonestar.org> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <20040611170709.GA17132@sdf.lonestar.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Subject: Re: Upgrading FreeBSD to a new release X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:11:51 -0000 On Fri, Jun 11, 2004 at 01:54:26PM -0400, JJB wrote: > Are these supervisor cards unique to IBM & HP? > Can the card be bought separately and will they work on generic > motherboard? > Do you have URL for info on these supervisor cards? They are unique to each manufacturer. I am not aware of a generic one. We currently use IBM's. Just google for "IBM remote supervisor II". The IBM can even be accessed via a web browser (with password security obviously). I'm not up-to-date on the Compaq's.

I am not aware of a generic one. We currently use IBM's. Just google for "IBM remote supervisor II". The IBM can even be accessed via a web browser (with password security obviously). I'm not > up-to-date on the Compaq's. the Compaq (new HP) one is called remote insight light out edition II a quick google should find the relevent URL I'd be supprised if it works in non Compaq/HP servers though. (meant to try it but we dont have any at my current workplace :( ) some more modern Compaq/HP servers have them intergrated. one nice feature I like is the Virtual floppy drive. if you realy needed to you could (in theory, never tried it) install any OS that supports floppy based installs without having to go near the machine if the light out board had the right network settings. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 19:31:52 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F78816A4D1 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 19:31:52 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.riadoklan.sk (riadoklan.sk [213.215.81.130]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 955F343D31 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 19:31:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from miffo@riadoklan.sk) Received: from riadoklan.sk (unknown [127.0.0.1]) by mail.riadoklan.sk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 23FCE2FF38 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:31:48 -0400 (EDT) From: "Michal Kukucka" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 21:31:47 +0200 Message-Id: <20040611192005.M7549@riadoklan.sk> X-Mailer: Open WebMail 2.20 20031014 X-OriginatingIP: 10.0.0.16 (miffo) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Subject: bad clusters problem X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 19:31:52 -0000 hi, i try to install a freebsd miniinstall distribution on my laptop compaq armada 4150T with 2GB disk space, from dos partition, everything was work OK until the installation begin copy the files to a created freebsd partition. On this space is some bad clusters, and therefore installation will irretrievably stop. My question is, it is possible that installation skip the badblocks and write data only on good clusters ? I try to install bsd by many ways already the fifth day and i dont want resign just now before finish line.

I am wondering if there is a way to prevent some hardware components from interrupt sharing, because i think this is a bottleneck situation sometimes. I discovered this while looking at my /var/log/messages after a reboot of my Freebsd 4.8 Box USB,VGA,Ethernet are sharing irq 10 Does anyone if this is somehow configurable. Or does someone know how much overhead such a "irg polling" will cost. I think it would be much better to share the irq in another order e.g. ethernet with parralel port...

Copy the file '.xinitrc' from root's home directory to the respective user's home directory. This is because every user can have his own desktop, so every user will have to specify one in order not to get the default one.

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! -Grant From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 22:15:37 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DC04316A4CE for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 22:15:37 +0000 (GMT) Received: from wale.mainframe.ca (wale.mainframe.ca [209.17.131.74]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A1B5143D39 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 22:15:37 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dmacpherson@mainframe.ca) Received: from saturn.mainframe.ca (saturn [10.0.0.254]) by wale.mainframe.ca (SGI-8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA19803 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:15:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from park.mainframe.ca ([172.16.130.30]) by saturn.mainframe.ca (NAVGW 2.5.1.18) with SMTP id M2004061115164618185 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:16:46 -0700 Received: from Mandarin-04 (Mandarin-04 [172.16.139.102]) by park.mainframe.ca (SGI-8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA69215 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:15:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Derrick MacPherson To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Mainframe Entertainment Inc Message-Id: <1086992110.17427.117.camel@Mandarin> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.6 Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:15:10 -0700 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: FreeBSD 4-10 install, RAM parity errors that don't seem to happen in Linux.

These machines run RH Linux for months without a problem, yet 3 out of 4 I just pulled are giving RAM parity problems during FreeBSD instalation. Does FreeBSD not allow/recover from those types of errors the same way Linux does? Any solutions?

To make it a system-wide default which can be overridden by each user, put a copy of the .xinitrc mentioned above in; /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ but leave off the leading dot '.' Anyway, if you put it in the above directory, it is the default if the user doesn't make their own. If they make their own and put it in their home directory, their own overrides the default. Something like that anyway. I think you can also put the default in etc/X11/ but I am not sure about that. ////jerry > > Daniela > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jun 11 23:19:05 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 562AC16A503 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 23:19:05 +0000 (GMT) Received: from wxinmail01.webexc.com (wxinmail01.webexc.com [209.43.0.180]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2104143D46 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 23:19:05 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from asp@webexc.com) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wxinmail01.webexc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 921887C5A9; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:19:00 -0500 (EST) Received: from wxinmail01.webexc.com ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (wxinmail01.webexc.com [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 54009-01; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:18:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from [172.16.0.1] (pcp01084796pcs.spedwy01.in.comcast.net [68.58.34.64]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by wxinmail01.webexc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 050157C5D1; Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:18:59 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <40CA3E45.8010907@webexc.com> Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 18:20:37 -0500 From: Ben Timby User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 (Windows/20040502) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Robert Eckardt References: <20040607200431.M21703@Robert-Eckardt.de> <20040610081553.M38018@Robert-Eckardt.de> In-Reply-To: <20040610081553.M38018@Robert-Eckardt.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: by ClamAV (via amavisd-new) on wxinmail01.webexc.com X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.7 tagged_above=-999.0 required=5.8 tests=BAYES_50, RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK, RCVD_IN_SORBS X-Spam-Level: ** cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: HTTPtunnel hangs with proxy X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 23:19:05 -0000 My suggestion would be to use tcpdump to examine the data flow. Watch what your browser sends to the http proxy, and then watch what htc sends to it. Probably will be different. Obviously htc thinks it is talking directly to hts, and thus is not speaking proper "http proxy" protocol. While I know some about how this works, I don't know alot. My guess is that httptunnel is not compatible with an proxies, unless the manpage or other documentation says otherwise, and provides a switch to modify the way it interacts with what it *thinks* is the hts (but is really an http proxy). Hope this is helpful in a general/vague sort of way :-).

In X, a resolution of 1400x1050 fills the display; but everything, including text in documents, looks really tiny. 1024x768 is my favorite setting for my desktop monitor; but is rejected by X as being too small on the laptop display.

After my CPU fan (or was it the hard drive?) spent a day or two screeching constantly at high frequencies (and volume), I finally broke down and ordered a new PC. The problem is what to install on it. The new system is a Dell Dimension 8300, w/P4 @ 3.0 Ghz, HT etc. The video card is a 128M NVidia GeForce, and I want to make sure the sound works, which should be easy enough (SB Live! 5.1). It's gonna be strange after working for years on the same systems at 400-450 Mhz! The real decision isn't whether to install FreeBSD (it *will* be FreeBSD dedicated), but which version? I want it to be reasonably stable, so CURRENT is probably out. I'm running RELENG_4_10 now, which I like just fine, but I'm not sure if this will take advantage of the HT tech in the processor. /usr/src/UPDATING has the following on the subject: Support for HyperThread logical CPUs has now been enabled by default. As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists. Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to 0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of the same name. I'm not an SMP guru (or even a novice) but that sounds like it will take full advantage if I simply make the specified sysctrl configuration change (finding the sysctrl documentation is tricky enough in itself). I know nobody is going to "guarantee" their answer to this one, but is RELENG_5_2 reliable enough for a moderately loaded system? If it is, are the gains worth the supposedly lower stability? Would I even notice this, going from a 400Mhz to a 3.0Ghz? I don't put much load on except when upgrading ports, munging photos, etc, but I plan to do some Perl, C/C++ and Java/Tomcat/webapp development on it in the near future, and I'd like to finally be able to compile OpenOffice.org. I may also take it for a test drive with a game or two (particularly if I get wine working), which might push the envelope a bit. If 4.10 is the best route for now, what kind of pain factor will the upgrade to 5.x be when the time comes? I typically keep over 300 ports installed, so I expect that alone will be kinda ugly to work with (See the corrolary to Murphy at the bottom). Since I haven't got the system yet (about 10 days out), I'd like to have an idea where to start *before* I get it - once I do, it will be too late to plan, because I'll probably just stop thinking objectively until I have it up and running. Hence the need for a plan beforehand :) Thanks in advance Lou -- Louis LeBlanc leblanc@keyslapper.org Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) http://www.keyslapper.org ÔżÔ¬ Interchangeable parts won't.

Not -CURRENT, but the latest 5.2.1. You are going to have a few problems, depending on what you're doing. For example, I wanted to do C# development on FreeBSD, and was majorly bummed to find that mono doesn't work on 5 ... seems to work OK on 4. So you might just want to peruse the ports you want searching for BROKEN= messages that refer to 5.x before taking that route. I believe the upgrade path from 4 to 5 is more or less a reinstall at this point ... but wiser folk may correct me on this if I'm wrong. I ran 5 for quite a while on my 1G desktop machine, and the only frustration I had was being unable to use mono. Then my HDD went up in smoke, and when I reinstalled, I put 4 on so I could do C# work ... then (following the rules of Murphy) I got tied up in other things, and haven't done a damn thing with C# yet ... Anyway, 5 seemed (in my opinion) to perform just as well as 4 for a desktop system, so I wouldn't worry about that at all. > I don't put much load on except when upgrading ports, munging photos, > etc, but I plan to do some Perl, C/C++ and Java/Tomcat/webapp > development on it in the near future, and I'd like to finally be able > to compile OpenOffice.org.

Thank you so much. You've certainly alleviated my stability concerns, and I'll certainly be glad not to have to go offline a couple days for the 4.x to 5.x upgrade (I'd just wind up putting it off to the point of foolishness). I'm not so concerned about C# right now, so I think 5.2.1 will probably be it. And I'll certainly scour the ports to verify the ones I *do* want. Thanks again! Now to decide whether to change my IMAP server. Any recommendations? I'm using Cyrus now, but I suspect it may be paramount to using a shotgun to kill a gnat. I have like 3 users, and each one has a login anyway (to accomodate Samba shares). I definitely want to keep IMAP, but adding POP3 will depend entirely on the associated pain factor.

I read the the FreeBSD Handbook and found little about adding users or groups. 1) Do I add a group before a user? 2) Other than sysinstall to add a user, is there anything else I need to do to configure a regular (notsuperuser) (Keeping in mind to copy .xsession and .xinitrc to that user's dir.)

"New Question" is not a useful subject of your email. Formulate your question in a few words as a subject. That makes it easier for others to browse through the long list of emails in the mailinglist and pick those that are of interest. > I wiped my HD and re-installed FreeBSD with what I have learned. > I have configured my xserver and it seems to be working ok. > I read the the FreeBSD Handbook and found little about adding users or > groups. > 1) Do I add a group before a user? > 2) Other than sysinstall to add a user, is there anything else I need to do > to configure a regular (notsuperuser) > (Keeping in mind to copy .xsession and .xinitrc to that user's dir.) In this case, and in this stage of your experience, I would recommend to you to use /stand/sysinstall. In an xterminal, become root and do: # cd /stand # ./sysinstall This will give you the configuration dialog, that you may remember from when you did the installation. But this time you choose the option: "Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD" In the next dialog, you get lots menu items. Some of them are a little dangerous (e.g. disk management), but you also see here "User Management". Go there and add a group and new user; this dialog explains itself, I suppose. When finished, simply select "Cancel" and "X Exit Install" and you're done. Would that work? Rob.

Not sure if it would help or not. Perhaps open a support case on the 3ware web site.
