So I've been reading through Handbook to see which limitation FreeBSD is posing onto the drives. I've found that FreeBSD is still "hogging" a primary partition/slice and I've only got 4 partition within a slice, a-d being reserved and h being the maximum. Why is it limited to h? Last time I installed FreeBSD I recall that / was needed to be located below 8GB for it to boot. Is this limitation still in act or am I free to boot from anywhere on the drive? Can't find anything about it in the Handbook.

I have fully setup a FreeBSD server, but when im going to setup my apache setup, I get a weird problem, I have read the mailing lists and done google searches, followed the advice I could find, with no help... Please Help ;)... If I enable Apache 1.3.22 with Mod_Perl and Mod_PHP4 it runs just perfect!

Schwab" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm experiencing difficulty with my networking under FreeBSD 4.3. Briefly, the networking is dead slow until it's had time to "warm up". I have FreeBSD 4.3 installed on an Intel 810-based MB with a RealTek 8139 Ethernet controller. (There is also a 3C905-TX in the machine, but it is unused and unconfigured at the moment.) After cold-boot and logging in, there is an extremely high incidence of dropped packets. 'ping's to well-known hosts, including physically adjacent machines, show 50% packet loss or higher. TCP connections stall out; 'netstat' shows unsent bytes remaining in the Send-Q. Now, sit and wait a bit (three or four minutes), and test again. All pings get through, and TCP connections no longer stall out. During "slow" operation, the network activity lights suggest that the interface is attempting to send and receive packets, but the system isn't seeing them. Nothing in /var/log/* shows anything unusual. Some searching through the freebsd-questions archive revealed that I should set the media type with 'ifconfig'. I did that, selecting 10baseT/UTP. While this improved the situation (the time I need to wait has been greatly reduced), the problem sitll persists. This is especially irritating for SSH sessions and the Zope server I'm trying to set up. (Funny though, 'autoselect' seemed to work just fine before under FreeBSD 4.2.) I did compile a custom kernel. I've done it before for 4.2, and I'm fairly sure I didn't botch it :-). My config file is available upon request. I have not yet tried reinstalling the GENERIC kernel to see if the problem goes away. The only other thing I can think of is that my FlowPoint DSL router (which doubles as my LAN hub) is doing something wonky with packets from the FreeBSD machine. I'm not using NAT or DHCP. All suggestions appreciated.

Besides the user and group databases the following files mention root: /etc/aliases I had already redirected root to my regular user: no problem /etc/crontab Replaced 'root' with 'admin' /etc/ftpusers Not critical, but added 'admin' /etc/gettytab User for autologin /etc/inetd Don't use it /etc/login.access Small change /etc/login.conf Has a special entry for root /etc/rc Changed 'chown root:wheel' in 'chown 0:0' (Why isn't it in the first place?) /etc/security Don't use it /etc/syslog Small change /usr/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script Some minor changes /usr/local/etc/webmin/...

While this may not be the correct answer, it might be worth a shot to check it out. You want to add a "mediaopt full-duplex" in your ifconfig.. or your rc.conf. I have this: ifconfig_fxp0="inet 63.195.97.84 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex netmask 255.255.255.248" Even if that hard-codes it on the FreeBSD side, the other side may be the problem, so it may not do jack. If that's the case, though, you should be able to hard-code the FreeBSD box at half-duplex and not see the same symptoms, though. And of course, configuring the 3Com NIC and testing with that might give some interesting clues as well. I'd be curious to see if it was having the same issues. Hope any of that helps.

This will tell the kernel to use the soft configuration" therefore i edited my kernel-config file to this: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq ? iomem 0xd8000 my questions here: do i have to write ed1 here? is the question-mark on the right place? how are the conventions to get iomem right (because it is not written like this when i see it in bios)? is the timeout-problem the problem of the network-card or the pcmcia chipset? could somebody write an example config-file snippet in the troubleshooting-section? (i think this would double the value of the text for newbies like me) anyway: the network on the machine works - i just get this nasty errors. should i even care? my second machine is used as a router/gateway/firewall during boot-process i get: ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range and when i shut the machine down it says: stray irq 7 as this is the printer-port in bios and is "hard-wired" i can not imagine it straying. sould i care about this? should i comment the ppc0 out in kernel-config or should i just give th irq in kernel-config to prevent straying? another problem i have got with kde; sometimes it starts - sometimes it won't start because of something like "cannot read networklist in .DCOMP.....; error setting up inter-prozess-communication" (i am always in the same intranet with pre-setted ips - no DHCP); as it often doesn't work with one user - it will when i log in as another user. as i can not reproduce the error it seems mysterious to me (sometimes i can start kde more then one time - like it should be - sometimes it won't even start once, but then when i login as root it might work again...) mysterious! .... any ideas? thx in advance peter "wolki" wolkerstorfer p.s.: are there any plans to enhance the site-search-hit-list usability on the fbsd-web-site? the search-results are of no information-scent for most users i think and it would be a great leap in usability to give some ideas what the hits are about. p.p.s.: happy 2002!

I guess this makes me sound like a freak (and I'm expecting tons of replies on that argument only). Anyhow, I'd like to know if there are any standards or perhaps suggestions out there to how ones personal hierarchy may look. I keep re-organizing my files and directories continuously, and I never feel satisfied with the way I structure them. I was hoping something easy, abbreviated and well-organized, like the FreeBSD hierarchy, would help me feel better about my personal stash. Or perhaps someone could show me how they have it? Thanks.

Some people have only one directory and put _everything_ at that level (occasionally with thousands of files), others go hog-wild creating dozens of directory levels, half of which contain no files at all. My directory structure is far better organized than my apartment, but I don't know that there is anything about it that would be useful to others. I do try to keep temporary stuff separate from stuff I need to keep, and I try to keep software applications and system programs separate from data files, but that's about it. Since I usually work under one user account or root on my FreeBSD system, the home directories of these two accounts tend to carry most of the stuff I create personally.

And I'm going to keep doing so untill somebody helps me =) Anyone here with an Cisco 677i-DIR ADSL-router running NAT between you and you ISP? Which happens to requires a port redirection entry through telnet each time you want to open a new port? I'm on an ADSL connection with one static IP. I'm not running NAT, the Cisco is. And I find it hard sometimes getting my will when a black ugly box is blocking my entrance. All ordinary daemons; SSHD, FTPD, BIND, Apache etc. works great. This is the commands that I've so far added to the router: ftpd/sshd: set nat entry add 10.0.0.2 20-22 0.0.0.0 20-22 tcp www: set nat entry add 10.0.0.2 80 0.0.0.0 80 tcp bind: set nat entry add 10.0.0.2 53 0.0.0.0 53 tcp identd: set nat entry add 10.0.0.2 113 0.0.0.0 113 tcp I'm a bit uncertain, however, when it comes to opening a port or range of ports to get passive FTP mode working on my virtual ProFTPD server (port 2001), as well as DCC in Irssi. I've heard those services go through the IANA-registered ephemeral port-range (49152-65535); sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst /net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast So I went ahead opening those ports as well. Just about to close them though. Passive and DCC is not working. Incoming DCC file transfers are, according to Irssi, coming from ports way lower -- i.e. 4384. That can't be right? What do I open and what do I not? Thanks.

You are free to lay out your home directory however you like, in collaboration with those applications you're using that expect certain things in certain places (like, say, a .muttrc, or a kde ~/Desktop/ - and yes I know all these things are configurable) There are no standards. There is the default skeleton which is not much in terms of a live-and-kicking home directory. Personally I have a basic structure that is repeated across almost all logins across several platforms, which then varies locally. archive/ large downloads, snapshots, tarballs etc my personal "aladdins cave" of, well, stuff. bin/ personal executables doc/ documents downloaded or produced Mail/ maildirs and mboxes man/ personal manual pages src/ untarred/CVS'd source code directories tmp/ scratchpad directory web// public content for http delivery web/logs/ log area for the above projects/ content-organized subdirectories for personal or professional projects. Under these I structure hierarchically using whatever seems most appropriate at the time, so that obviously related objects are in subdirectories together. I have found this sufficient organisation without getting too bogged down in filing. Generally the correct filename and location for an object are immediately apparent to me in this system. Larger objects, e.g. CVS repositories get their own slice and a symlink from my home directory. I get particular pleasure from browsing through older stuff in archive/ and picking up strands of thought from way back. I suspect this stuff is very personal and that my layout is not likely to suit others. But you did ask ;) Joshua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 3:47:35 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dot.uber.com.br (ctbcnetsuper-146.xdsl-fixo.ctbcnetsuper.com.br [200.225.201.146]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 663F737B416 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 03:47:31 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 7713 invoked from network); 30 Dec 2001 09:43:13 -0000 Received: from ctbcnetsuper-043.xdsl-dinamico.ctbcnetsuper.com.br (HELO uber.com.br) (200.225.204.43) by 0 with SMTP; 30 Dec 2001 09:43:13 -0000 Message-ID: <3C2F010B.54244A87@uber.com.br> Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 09:56:59 -0200 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Jos=E9?= Romildo Malaquias Organization: UFOP X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13 i686) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Restoring the original kernel Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello.

The file will continue to eat space until it is closed. Typically this is visible when syslogd has been busy. Try reloading your syslogd (kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`). If that fixes it, there's your answer: open but unlinked logfiles.

The .old kernel is always your previous kernel. So if you installed a new kernel just now, your old kernel would by copied to kernel.old, and the previous kernel.old would be overwritten. This is useful, because in case you build a kernel that will not boot, you can always go back to your previous kernel. The kernel.GENERIC entry is the GENERIC kernel, just in the way as it was installed at the time you installed your FreeBSD system. It could theoretically be deleted, but can be helpful if you totally mess everything up (which tends to happen from time to time ;-) Hint: The modules.old directory contains your previous modules. So the relationship between modules and modules.old is just the same as with kernel and kernel.old. If you easily wanted to restore your system to your previous kernel, this should work: rm kernel mv kernel.old kernel rm modules/* mv modules.old/* modules/ reboot It is possible that you cannot simply delete your current kernel, because it my be specially protected. In order to change that, execute chflags noschg kernel before any of the commands given above. Another hint: You can also tell the FreeBSD boot loader to boot into your old kernel without actually making the old kernel the default kernel (as the above example would). That basically works by interrupting the FreeBSD boot process and telling it to boot kernel.old instead (see "man boot" for details).

AFAIK, the only way around this is to download FreeBSD to another machine on your LAN and then install from the local copy (hand-configuring your NIC) and then set up the Rogers@Home stuff after. -- Matthew Emmerton || matt@gsicomp.on.ca GSI Computer Services || http://www.gsicomp.on.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 4:44: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.siol.net (odin.siol.net [193.189.160.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEABF37B405 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 04:43:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from AS-90-63.dial-up.siol.net ([213.250.4.63]) by mail.siol.net (InterMail vK.4.02.00.10 201-232-116-110 license 3b7ff800a4377eede9efc7be81e8a7c4) with ESMTP id <20011230124351.XPPQ17645.mail@AS-90-63.dial-up.siol.net> for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 13:43:51 +0100 Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 13:45:51 +0100 (CET) From: solwar X-X-Sender: To: Subject: Can't access NAS server (null) Message-ID: <20011230134110.J81006-100000@SOLos> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have problems with program festival.

Don't use nslookup. Again: Don't use nslookup. Use dig instead. nslookup fails miserably if you don't have the reverse zones properly configured. It tries a reverse lookup of the IP listed in the "nameserver" clause of resolv.conf and dies if fails.

Kinda an urgent one, so please forgive the slightly OT question. In my experience, questions are answered more quickly here (and often more accurately) than on many of the other forums available for Sendmail. I am running sendmail on FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE, and have suddenly started getting messages in my maillog to the following effect: Dec 30 09:31:28 keyslapper sendmail[69636]: fBU1CSm67514: to=, delay=13:19:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=3031024, relay=smtp.ne.mediaone.net.

Domain of sender address webmaster@myserver.net does not resolve Dec 30 09:31:28 keyslapper sendmail[69636]: fBU1CSm67514: to=, delay=13:19:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=3031024, relay=smtp.ne.mediaone.net. [24.147.1.144], dsn=4.1.8, stat=Deferred: 451 4.1.8 ... Domain of sender address webmaster@myserver.net does not resolve Sorry about the long lines. Anyway, I have an idea where these are coming from, and they carry a potential financial impact if I can't recieve them. They are automatic mailings so simply emailing someone to fix things may not suffice. Unfortunately the financial impact will be mine, so I'm not sure I want to take any unnecessary chances. The messages are going to be deferred for another day or two (I think) then they will be dropped. I have tried to configure sendmail to accept unresolvable domains with the following: define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`M=u') FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders') These were gathered from reading the sendmail README. They should direct Sendmail to accept mail from unresolvable domains, and mail from unqualified senders, but they don't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

My ISP did have an agreement in the past, but this has apparently been cancelled. So if you have any suggestion of how to access one through the web, I would appreciate it. I have read through the installation documentation online, but still have a few concerns, as I am quite new to FreeBSD. I have only tried Windows and Linux. I understand that FreeBSD should be installed on a primary partition. Now DOS is not fond of having more than one active primary partition, so I am a little concerned how to go around the installation so as not to upset the rest of my setup. Currently my setup is as follows: Disk 1: 1st partition: Primary FAT16 partition (bootable) Rest of disk: Extended partition which is partitioned into some 4-5 logical partitions. I have 7 GB free space in the extended partition which I can make into a primary partition with PartitionMagic 7.0 Disk 2: 1st partition: Primary FAT32 partition used for Win98 Rest of disk: Extended partition. The first 2 logical partitions: Linux ext + linux swap Last logical partition: used for Win98 games. As I have never used FreeBSD, but would like to try it out, I'd like to use the free space without touching the rest of the setup. Currently I have set it up so that Win2k's boot loader is used to load the different OS's (Win2k on hda5, Win98 on hdc1, and Linux on hdc5 if I remember the Linux partition numbering scheme correctly. I had plans of having FreeBSD on hda6, but I will perhaps have to have it on hda2 instead? (If so, I'd make sure to edit boot.ini so that I still can load Win2k!) Any help would be appreciated, as I would prefer not to do anything wrong here.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I was just perusing the ntp documentation the other day and somewhere I remember reading that if your securelevel is set to something higher than the default -1, then time updates are clamped to 1 second. I quickly scanned the ntpd and ntp.conf man pages but didn't find it. However, this may give you a push in the right direction.

I'd assume that nslookup also does not check the /etc/hosts file for this information either, because it's there. (as Dan Busarow suggested) and has been there all along.

COMPAT_LINUX means to add linux compatibility for linux apps to run on freebsd right? Do i need to add DEBUG_LINUX as well? If the above is correct, how is that both netscape and opera that are linux versions run ok now that i have GENERIC kernel without the COMPAT_LINUX line? i've got the output of make, strout + stderr captured on different files. can i send them to the list? how do u send such things to lists, attached or copy the text in the message?

Basically, I want to have some sort of daemon, to which I can send a package (as the ones used by pkg_add) which will then install it for me, taking care of dependencies etc pp or prior versions of the package that are eventually already installed. > You could mount your ports tree via NFS, which would allow you to > keep all machines up to date while only needing to update one > machine. Well, mounting the ports tree via NFS and using portupgrade provides some flexibility, but still, you'd need to execute it manually on all machines since I don't trust portupgrade enough to run it unattendend as it still f*cks up its own dependency database if you use stuff like WITHOUT_X11 for libungif and then stops working until you fix it by hand. Ideally, FreeBSD should have something like Debian's apt-get upgrade which upgrades the whole system automatically (downloading packages from some custom package repository, preferably). I've got some friends who run Debian at home and they told me that apt-get never did any bad to their system... I've been thinking about implementing some SOAP based small server, that takes the package and calls portupgrade on it... > Webmin provides a nice front-end to a lot of this.

I just installed webmin (haven't used it for a long time) and the Cluster User administration for sure looks cool but I don't really need to keep passwd in sync (actually, this would probably be counter productive from a security point of view with our system).

Hmmm ... well, portupgrade is the best tool I know of currently, there's an interesting article by Michael Lucas that may give you some ideas on how to make it work better: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html but I don't know of anything better. > Ideally, FreeBSD should have something like Debian's apt-get upgrade > which > upgrades the whole system automatically (downloading packages from > some custom package repository, preferably).

Sounds "too good to be true" but if it really works that well, it might be worth porting (if possible I don't understand that from a server perspective.

Well, I don't plan to run portupgrade --all from crontab, but something like portupgrade --everything-on=http://myrepository/packages for sure would be nice, i.e. specifying a custom repository of packages which are known to be working as you've built them yourself on one of your test boxes and now you just need to distribute them over your farm... >> I've been thinking about implementing some SOAP based small >> server, that takes the package and calls portupgrade on it... > That would probably be a useful project, something like an enhanced > portupgrade program that worked across the network via ssh or > something.

Am running STABLE ... tried to install KDE2. It compiled away for what seemed like hours, pulling down other files when necessary, and then exited normally (that is, both make and make install exited w/o errors). Trouble is, I can't find KDE2. Am trying to add it to one of my other wm menus. Maybe it's more accurate to say it isn't anywhere that makes sense. There's a whole lotta stuff under /usr/ports/x11/kdebase2/work/kdebase-2.2.2 ... including makefiles and config files galore. I'm sorta loath to go to that directory and type './configure', but that looks like what's supposed to happen. Did something go wrong here? It's the first time doing 'make' and 'make install' on a port hasn't seemed to complete the task for me.

It's in the FreeBSD ports collection (http://www.freebsd.org/ports/sysutils.html), and of course it's available for Linux as well. I found that it was quick and easy to configure after first taking time out to thoroughly read the documentation. I dual-boot W2K and FreeBSD on my first disk. Each is on its own primary partition. My second, smaller, disk is a Fat32 primary partition to facilitate reading/writing between W2K and FreeBSD. FreeBSD's bootloader (which you can configure easily at install) worked just fine with this setup and would very likely work for yours, but GRUB has some additional capabilities I found attractive.

You cannot lower the securelevel while a system is running; you'll need to modify your rc.conf and reboot. You can then run ntpdate to update the time. I'd cron an ntpdate job to run every so often, so you can then bring your securelevel back to the original value. Thus your clock will never be more than one second off and you will not run into this problem again.

You can sync /etc/* and exclude master.passwd, for example. If you are pushing addon programs across your network,though, you would probably be syncing /usr/local/*. It shouldn't hit any of your password files that way. I was going to quote the man page for rsync, here, but rsync isn't installed on this laptop i'm using. Here is a snippet, though, from rsync on one of my servers: (from man rsync) Here are some exclude/include examples: o --exclude "*.o" would exclude all filenames match- ing *.o o --exclude "/foo" would exclude a file in the base directory called foo o --exclude "foo/" would exclude any directory called foo o --exclude "/foo/*/bar" would exclude any file called bar two levels below a base directory called foo o --exclude "/foo/**/bar" would exclude any file called bar two or more levels below a base direc- tory called foo (end man rysnc) There's a whole lot more in that man page, you may find that it does what you need.

Well, I've been thinking about this option too, but found it to be a rather bad choice since it won't run the scripts that the packages eventually run on install/deinstall which means that you often endup with binaries/config file etc being somehow out of sync. No, I want to distribute packages ;-).

This thread should be available on the archives. The multimedia mailing list may be a better place to talk specifics.

Hmmm ... well, that makes sense ... in a twisted sort of way. Yet, in another way, it makes no sense. It just seems like the loopback should be a special case, somehow. Is there any accepted way to have 127.0.0.1 resolve while still forcing the machine to forward all other requests? Otherwise, I'll just leave it as it is. Having the loopback not resolve is acceptable if I can keep it relying on its upstream servers for info.

The last I saw, the 1024th cylinder limitation was still in effect if using FBSD's bootloader, though someone else may know different. GRUB, which I've only used a short time but am quite happy with, says it will boot an OS beyond the 1024th cylinder if your disks do LBA. LBA isn't exactly a new thing, so I assume this will work for most people. I'm about to try converting much of my W2K space to dynamic volumes and installing FBSD beyond the 1024th cylinder, so if I don't completely screw up my system in the process, I'll let folks know how it went.

I am= =20 curious, now that you have somewhat settled on the above arrangement, are= =20 these directorys in the root partition? I see a usr directory, is that th= e=20 /usr partition? I hope you have put all the above directories inside the = /usr=20 partition and not on the root partition (it looks like those are in the /= =20 partition). So it might be somthing like this: / /bin /etc /usr /boot etc etc then in /usr /usr/home /usr/biz /usr/doc /usr/edu /usr/mp3 etc etc My preference is to leave / alone, symlink /tmp and /var to /usr/tmp and=20 /usr/var, install all apps into /usr/local/ and then create any personal=20 directories inside my home directory - ~/pics ~/music ~/Mail etc etc That way I will never fill up the root partition, as so many people tend = to=20 do, then cry for help when it gets full and they start having problems wi= th=20 their apps because of the full root partition. Anyway, that's just my preference, FWIW.

Someone on a linux list I am >on was reporting temperatures >100C !! While attempting to find a cooling solution for a 1.33ghz Athlon that didn't sound as if I were standing on an airport runway, I screwed up by installing an underpowered power supply fan. Combined with my less- than-effective first-time job of mounting the heat sink/CPU fan, I was getting CPU temperatures in the range of 68 deg C! Searching for something to keep my CPU from burning up while I got new cooling hardware, I found a Win program called CPUIdle (http://www.cpuidle.de/) that gave me some pretty amazing results, holding my CPU temp down around 51 deg C when in Windows. Does FBSD in its "out of the box" configuration have similar abilities, or is there a way to provide them? If not, it seems like it would be a useful thing for someone (not me, unfortunately - I'm no programmer) to create. Jud P.S. After spending the money on a quiet-but-cool power supply and new heat sink/fan as I should have done in the first place, current CPU temp as I write this (in Windows, with CPUIdle running) is 42 deg C, motherboard temp is 28 deg C.

I am not sure what you are gaining by doing this.... I am assuming you are doing this to obtain some security by obscurity, right? If so why not choose something a bit less obvious than admin? I would guess that someone breaking into your system upon not finding a root would see the admin account for what it is pretty quickly..... Second, if one only gains access to your system via a standard user account what is keeping them from looking for the 0 UID in /etc/passwd? That will probably tip them off pretty quickly as to what account they should be targeting. I am still pretty new at all of this, I am just trying to figure out how the benefits outweigh potential risks/abnormalities.

There's no extant entry at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi Essentially, when I fire up the editor, the 'visuals' (the startup splash bit, all the menu icons, etc) are missing. It seems to -work-, though it's a little tough to use w/o much idea of what you're clicking on. Anyone else seen this? I tried deinstalling and reinstalling, but it made no difference.

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to install packages/ports on all machines but you do not want to use NFS to export /usr/local to all machines. I would suggest the clusterit port (ports/net/clusterit) for this. Since you are talking about installing packages you must have root access on all of the machines so you will have to allow root logins via sshd. The clusterit suite can be configured to use ssh over rsh. One of the programs in clusterit is dsh which will execute commands on all configured nodes. So once you have everything set up you could do the following: 'dsh cd /usr/ports/whatever && make install'. This will install the port on every configured machine. You could also specify subsets of machines on the dsh command line. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 13:19:54 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from salmon.maths.tcd.ie (salmon.maths.tcd.ie [134.226.81.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id C937D37B416 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 13:19:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from walton.maths.tcd.ie by salmon.maths.tcd.ie with SMTP id ; 30 Dec 2001 21:19:50 +0000 (GMT) To: Jim Freeze Cc: Ian Dowse , questions@freebsd.org, "H.

My own observations show that FreeBSD does a much better job of keeping the CPU cool than Windows does. I have no scientific data here, but on my brother's K6-2 500 Mhz, the mainboard only switches on the fan once the CPU has reached a certain temperature. In FreeBSD, the fan basically stays off if you boot and do nothing. Only if you produce some serious load (make world, etc) the fan will come on. If you let the system sit idle for some time, the fan will even go off again. In Windows, well, you just have to boot it and let is sit "idle" for a few minutes. The fan will come on and never go out again. This seems to suggest that Windows does something to the CPU even when it seems to do nothing. Generally, as far as cooling is concerned, I have found it useful to follow AMD's recommendations, which say that besides a PSU and CPU fan, you should also use another rear exhaust fan. This may make your machine a little noisier, but it could be essential, especially if you have other things in there that produce a lot of heat (like a fast hard disk, graphics card or whatever).

It goes to a 100M switch and shares the modem with two other servers. I've never had it lock with internet traffic, but sometimes if I mount it nfs to one of the other boxes to do a portupgrade etc, it locks up. I can't get the box to do it all the time. The other cards were all 100Mb, same problem. I was thinking the switch, but I tried a cross cable between boxes and it did the same thing. It's something in this server.

I did something along these lines which I thought was about zero risk: I removed my "uucp" user. Who needs UUCP? And some security article said to get rid of unneeded accounts. It did fine until I tried updating from 4.4-R to 4.5-Pre and discovered that the make files assume the existence of at least this user and group, and probably several others. (I've not missed xten, dialer, ssmsp, news, & staff yet.) I posted my experience a few days ago, asking if required users and groups should be documented, and after seeing the replies to your message, I guess I should consider myself lucky to have been ignored.

"boot0cfg -o packet" enables it. I don't know how you set this flag during installation, though. I know this flag works, because my FreBSD partition is on cylinders 3500-4500 of a 4500-cylinder drive. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 14:56:29 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cluttered.com (w024.z064002058.sjc-ca.dsl.cnc.net [64.2.58.24]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 53D3B37B417 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 14:56:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from orgasmotron.cluttered.com (jsd [10.10.10.3]) by cluttered.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 00128C9800 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 14:56:26 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <4.3.2.7.2.20011230144925.00c54890@10.10.10.1> X-Sender: jsd@10.10.10.1 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.2 Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 14:56:22 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Jon Drukman Subject: ftp over ssh - problems Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG there are still many reasons i need to use ftp, unfortunately. i use ftp-over-ssh to make it as secure as possible, but i have run into problems with recent freebsd installs. it seems that passive mode sends 127.0.0.1 instead of the host's public ip address. this means that the ftp client tries to connect to a port on localhost that won't be listening in order to list the files. connection refused. the session looks something like this: 220 jsd.com FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2(2) Fri Dec 28 12:21:04 PST 2001) ready.

The "pdksh" shell (and others, IIRC) has a nice ctrl-r gizmo which lets you do an incremental search on previous commands for a string whether it begins the command or not. Very helpful. You can also save a reach for the arrows by using ctrl-p and ctrl-n in pdksh and some other shells.

Likely, it's somewhere else, but you never know... -tcannon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 15:13:23 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from lists.blarg.net (lists.blarg.net [206.124.128.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 86B6B37B41F for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:13:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from thig.blarg.net (thig.blarg.net [206.124.128.18]) by lists.blarg.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEFABBD29; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:13:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost.localdomain ([206.124.139.115]) by thig.blarg.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA15150; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:13:18 -0800 Received: (from jojo@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.11.6/8.11.3) id fBUNEkg33061; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:14:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from swear@blarg.net) To: Bjarne Wichmann Petersen Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Limitations of BSD-slices.

In the past there were known vulnerabilities on some OS's for these services and it seems script-kiddies keep trying them. AFAIK, the daemons have been fixed in FreeBSD for known exploits. Since your firewall is catching these probes they're probably nothing to get excited about. However, the rule number from your rc.firewall excerpt doesn't seem to be matching up with the network address from the log. Maybe you could double check rc.firewall to make certain your rule numbers don't have a duplicate and that you're really using that set of rules (e.g. rc.conf is defining the desired value for firewall_type and it matches the section of rc.firewall that you customized). BTW, it is unecessary to define the rule numbers. As long as the rules are added in the proper order the rule numbers auto-increment and everything works out OK. It's not "wrong" to use the numbers, but it does add another point of failure in the ipf setup. > > > # Stop draft-manning-dsua-03.txt (1 May 2000) nets (includes RESERVED-1, > # DHCP auto-configuration, NET-TEST, MULTICAST (class D), and class E) > # on the outside interface > ${fwcmd} add 03300 deny ip from 0.0.0.0/8 to any via ${oif} > ${fwcmd} add 03400 deny ip from 169.254.0.0/16 to any via ${oif} > ${fwcmd} add 03500 deny ip from 192.0.2.0/24 to any via ${oif} > ${fwcmd} add 03600 deny ip from 224.0.0.0/4 to any via ${oif} > ${fwcmd} add 03700 deny ip from 240.0.0.0/4 to any via ${oif} > > # Everything else is denied by default so I added this to log all defaulted > denies. > ${fwcmd} add 05000 deny log logamount 50 ip from any to any > Best wishes...

What we have to determine is: Is the FreeBSD box sending anything on the w= ire. If your pings are making it to the wire, then we have to look elsewhere. e= .g. router, switch, bad wiring. If nothing is making it out on the wire, then we are still inside the FreeB= SD box. If you have a sniffer, I'd try using it to see what is on the wire. If you= don't have access to one, even watching the lights on your hub/switch wh= ere the FreeBSD box is plugged in might give us a hint. e.g. If the ligh= ts flash when you estimate the pings should be happening, it is a clue. We had some switches at work (I think they were Cisco) that would occasiona= lly take a port offline. I don't know if your D-link would do this but y= ou might want to move the cable on the hub/switch. I don't have much more to offer at this point.

Do you believe the difference between NetBSD and FreeBSD is significant regarding the x server ? What is your opinion, where should I start ? remember I just went into /usr/ports/x11/ and started to install everything, just befor that, my freebsd was shining. What we can do now is warn newbies about installing from /usr/ports/x11/ and investigate what went wrong. I have so much important stuff here i just can't make fdisk. Why can't just all those dangerous make install files in the wrong directories just be removed? I choose FreeBSD because of the variety of compilers and find FreeBSD a lot easier for installing a compiler than Linux . But this accident can be prevented.

I don't think so - and if there is, you probably don't want to. You have to be root to bind to ports 1023 and below. If all the processes ran as www, you wouldn't be able to bind to port 80.

Apache forks new port 80 listerners occasionaly so the master process needs to run as root. I know that Solaris has a way of granting a user rights to open a priveledged socket but I have not seen that feature in FreeBSD yet. If you don't need all the advanced features that apache is giving you. And you are not running a huge CGI load. You might consider using thttpd (in the ports collection or from www.acme.com.) It is a single process chrootable server that drops privledges after the master listening socket is opened. It uses poll(2) on OSes that have it or select(2) to handle all connections from one process. It even has a simple way of doing named virtual servers. It is quite frugal with system resources and often performs better under load than apache. -- Chris Fedde To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 17:29:39 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cactus.fi.uba.ar (cactus.fi.uba.ar [157.92.49.108]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8729237B405 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 17:29:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from cactus.fi.uba.ar (cactus.fi.uba.ar [157.92.49.108]) by cactus.fi.uba.ar (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id fBV1RVe58687; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:27:31 -0300 (ART) (envelope-from fgleiser@cactus.fi.uba.ar) Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:27:30 -0300 (ART) From: Fernando Gleiser To: Bill Moran Cc: Subject: Re: [OT] bind problems In-Reply-To: <3C2F6D86.8070605@potentialtech.com> Message-ID: <20011230222506.D57286-100000@cactus.fi.uba.ar> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sun, 30 Dec 2001, Bill Moran wrote: > > Hmmm ... well, that makes sense ... in a twisted sort of way.

Yes, there is a way: from the named.conf(5) man page: forward A forward zone is used to direct all queries in it to other servers, as described in THE OPTIONS STATEMENT section. The specification of options in such a zone will override any global options declared in the options statement. If either no forwarders clause is present in the zone or an empty list for forwarders is given, then no forwarding will be done for the zone, cancelling the effects of any forwarders in the options statement. Thus if you want to use this type of zone to change only the behavior of the global forward option, and not the servers used, then you also need to respecify the global forwarders.

Here's the last part of the boot log: Creating DISK ad0 ad0: ATA-2 disk at ata0-master ad0: 2559MB (5242608 sectors), 5201 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33 ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=2 cblid=0 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0s1: type 0xa5, start 63, end = 5242607, size 5242545 : OK start_init: trying /sbin/init [It stalled here; I gave it 5 mins but nothing happened] Debugger("manual escape to debugger") Stopped at Debugger+0x44: pushl %ebx db> trace Debugger() scgetc() sckbdevent() atkbd_intr() atkbd_isa_intr() ithread_loop() fork_exit() fork_trampoline() [args have been snipped] Looks like it has died after execve()'ing /sbin/init ? Any suggestions about this would be appreciated.

For example, the spacing after a 'm' or a '- ' is larger than other characters. The problem seems to occur only with some fonts, but Times New Roman is what I want to use. I've tried using other sizes, other fonts, etc. Interestingly enough, Lucidabright has the opposite problem. The '-' extends into the space after it. How annoying. Clues please? p.s. There's some -advocacy in this as I'm going to be using this workstation for a presentation at an upcoming talk to a Linux User Group and this is one little nit I'd like to get solved.

You will want to use information from your old (3.3.6) config, but put it into the new style. Read man XF86Config. Make sure you are reading the manual for 4 (the man will make references to XF86Config-4). 4) then try startx /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or something similar) will give you information if something goes wrong. Note: I am really no expert, just a user, but I don't think you need all the ports/packages you have installed. You listed the following: > XFree86-3.3.6_4 XFree86-clients-4.0.1 > XFree86-4.0.1_8 XFree86-documents-4.0.1 > XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 XFree86-libraries-4.0.1_2 I believe that XFree86-4.0.1_8 is complete (read the +COMMENT and +DESC) so that you do not need the clients, documents, and libraries separately. To be sure, you can check the contents of all four and see if anything in the latter three are not included in the contents of the base system. Of course removing them at this time might delete needed parts of your XFree86 system. When you are ready to upgrade (the current version of XFree86 in stable is 4.1.0_11) you might want to pkg_delete the others first. The XFree86-aoutlibs are needed by netscape, so do not delete them. I am not sure about having both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x on your system. The installation of 4.x.x might have overwritten files of the same name in 3.3.6. You can check the +CONTENTS file in var/db/pkg/(package name) for each to see. Again, you may want to pkg_delete 3.3.6 just before upgrading to a newer 4.x.x Al -- Albert Kinderman California State University, Northridge Department of Systems and Operations Management To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 19:42:21 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from nycsmtp1out.rdc-nyc.rr.com (nycsmtp1out.rdc-nyc.rr.com [24.29.99.226]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 01BD137B431 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 19:42:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from scott1.nyc.rr.com (24-168-25-8.nyc.rr.com [24.168.25.8]) by nycsmtp1out.rdc-nyc.rr.com (8.12.1/Road Runner SMTP Server 1.0) with ESMTP id fBV3gEP5019996; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:42:15 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.0.20011230224001.057e4248@pop-server.nyc.rr.com> X-Sender: scottro@pop-server.nyc.rr.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:41:43 -0500 To: bruce lindquist , FreeBSD Questions From: Scott Subject: Re: KDE error message at startup In-Reply-To: <20011231025756.10BE137B436@hub.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At 18:59 2001/12/30 -0800, bruce lindquist wrote: >Have any clue why I get the following error message... > >There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.

This can probably be fixed by upgrading KDE. There was a patch--a few days ago instructions were given on how to apply it, but it seems that if you upgrade KDE from ports (first cvsup your ports) the problem will go away.

I don't have expirience with mbox Mailbox format in qmail, but check /var/qmail/rc file if there is right delivery Mailbox format. see documentation on http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#start-qmail section about Mailbox format, and section about directory and file permisions of qmail delivery. because in Maildir format, qmail will deliver message only if chmod of home/Maildir is 700, check it in mbox format ?? remote to local delivers works ? which MTA you used before ? maybe /var/qmail/users/assign file could help you. I'm using nice install guide with vpopmail on http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml it works only with one system account and can manage many virtual domains and virtual users. works fine :) for me.

I used the ports/packages to install Mailman. Following the setup directions on the Mailman website has raised a couple of questions. The first question is in regards to the warning in the documentation to not be root while running ./configure. I suppose that is so that the files are owned by a regular user. Since I didn't have to run configure, and since I was root when I installed the Mailman from the ports or pkgs (I don't recall which), I was concerned that I might need to change the owners of all of the files in the mailman directory from root to mailman. Should I chown -R mailman /usr/local/mailman? Apparently, other distributions put mailman in /home. At this point in the install, permissions are supposed to be checked (with /usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms -f) as the user who installed Mailman. They checked out OK as root. But, here is where I realized that I could not su to mailman. I do have a user mailman that the ports set up for me. But, the shell is /sbin/nologin. I tried changing that to another shell and giving mailman a password. But, that still didn't help. I still get the message, "This account is currently not available". Not being able to su to mailman looks like it is going to be a problem when I get to the crontab step.

If the RJ-45 cable isn't a crossover cable, and you're not using a hub or a crossover adapter, of course you're not going to be able to get from your FreeBSD boxen to the Windows ME machine. Use a hub or a crossover cable and things should work fine. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 30 22:10:51 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from web14803.mail.yahoo.com (web14803.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.224.219]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7C29A37B428 for ; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:10:48 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <20011231061048.28868.qmail@web14803.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [203.155.127.27] by web14803.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:10:48 PST Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 22:10:48 -0800 (PST) From: pirat sriyotha Subject: Re: router To: Ken Bolingbroke Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <20011230215503.M42783-100000@fremont.bolingbroke.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG --- Ken Bolingbroke wrote: > > Just to confirm, do you the BNC and RJ45 networks > configured for different > IP subnets?

There are plenty of people reading my messages, but they are not nearly as prone to surges of powerful emotion and religious fervor as are those who feel most compelled to respond to them. I keep hoping that the more emotional among these people will either filter me out or control their emotions well enough to reply in less puerile ways, but unfortunately the ones most likely to veer into tirades also seem to be unable to resist the desire to read what I write and reply to it. It's rather like other highly religious people who object loudly and obviously to pornography, but continue to seek it out so that they can complain about it. The real motivation behind this, of course, is that such people are not content to prevent themselves from seeing things they don't like--it is imperative for them that they prevent the rest of the world from seeing things they don't like as well.

As a matter of fact, I even went to the length of adding a user mailman (in /usr/home) to try and get it to work. Turns out, though, the porter was right. a user "mailman" with a shell and a real home directory isn't necessary under FreeBSD (it was/is necessary under solaris 8). The docs stress that the most important thing is the crontab.in file and it's proper croning. That is true and it's fairly simple with (as root): crontab -u mailman -l crontab.in The next most important thing in the latest cvsupped mailman port is a thorough reading of the Makefile. If you don't change the GID of mailman to something that both FreeBSD and mailman are expecting (gid 26, i think but that's from memory), the web-interface complains bitterly about not getting the gid it expects. Also be sure that your apache www user (used to be nobody/nogroup, but now it's www/www) also agrees with what mailman is expecting --again, I think it's in the Makefile. I use mailman at work to spam , er e-mail, as many as 4000 students and faculty at a time, and I love it's interface and it's reliability. And I was (and still am, on some machines) a big fan of majordomo. Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT On Sun, 30 Dec 2001, Darren wrote: > I am setting up my first list server on FreeBSD.

I've been following guides mainly intended for OpenBSD it seems (due to a lack of finding any for FreeBSD). I used the conf and policy files of various working examples. http://www.allard.nu/openbsd/isakmpd.conf http://www.allard.nu/openbsd/isakmpd.policy and others... But when I start isakmpd I get the following errors: 094416.943999 Misc 60 conf_get_str: configuration value not found [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:ENCAPSULATION_MODE 094416.944033 Misc 70 conf_set: [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:ENCAPSULATION_MODE->TUNNEL 094416.944063 Misc 60 conf_get_str: configuration value not found [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:AUTHENTICATION_ALGORITHM 094416.944096 Misc 70 conf_set: [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:AUTHENTICATION_ALGORITHM->HMAC_RIPEMD 094416.944128 Misc 60 conf_get_str: configuration value not found [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:GROUP_DESCRIPTION 094416.944160 Misc 70 conf_set: [QM-AH-BLF-RIPEMD-PFS-XF]:GROUP_DESCRIPTION->MODP_1024 .. ..the list continues. The only thing I haven't done that is mentioned in the documentation(s) (http://www.allard.nu/openbsd/openbsd.shtml, etc.) available. Edit your /etc/sysctl.conf to include the things below (reboot afterwards): net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 # 1=Permit forwarding net.inet.esp.enable=1 # 1=Enable the ESP IPSec protocol and if you are running 2.7 you need this aswell: net.inet.ip.ipsec-acl=0 # 0=disable IPsec ingress ACL checking Would these values be the same for FreeBSD? (Stupid question maybe) I tried adding these values using : sysctl = ### [root@bbmwall root]# sysctl net.inet.esp.enable=1 sysctl: unknown oid 'net.inet.esp.enable' ### Maybe this is my problem ? Any ideas. tx in advance. Etienne.

In case /home/bruce/.DCOPserver_deimos.phobos.com:0 exists, have you tried deleting it and trying again? I remember that sometimes KDE (before 2.2.2, at least) left some (temporary) files lying around, which would prevent it to start properly. Simply deleting these files often helped.

At this time, all cvsup servers should simply refuse your cvsup request and tell you to update cvsup. I've run cvsup (old versions) on machines and it never blew a box to dust.

It can do some interesting things. Your cvsup updated source will be older (~1 Jan 1970) than the code produced by the previous make and strange combinations can occur. This would only be important if you have made a large jump in code levels and never removed /usr/obj.

We are planning to run the same application on FreeBSD-4.4 Release with linux emulation, but I was not sure how much ram freeBSD can allocate per process. I have a few doubts and I would like to have expert opinion on those 1. How much physical RAM is supported by freeBSD 4.4 R (This should be a limitation of the processor and the motherboard, am I right?) 2. How much virtual memory is supported? ( should be in tera bytes?) 3. How much memory can be allocated per process? Any help will be highly appriciated.

Good to hear that you are a little bit further than a few days ago :-) sshd is normally started by /etc/rc.conf (loading standard daemons), which contains sshd_enable="YES" You may want to change this to sshd_enable="NO". Since you are saying that sshd is initialized twice, there's probably a startupscript in /usr/local/etc/ (local package initialization) that starts the new sshd daemon in /usr/local/sbin Regards, Rick Hoppe Network- and System specialist (Jr.) Xtraxion Internet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 31 4:46: 9 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gamma.root-servers.ch (gamma.root-servers.ch [195.49.62.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0364437B41A for ; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 04:46:05 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 48712 invoked from network); 31 Dec 2001 12:46:03 -0000 Received: from dclient217-162-128-224.hispeed.ch (HELO athlon550) (217.162.128.224) by 0 with SMTP; 31 Dec 2001 12:46:03 -0000 Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 13:47:25 +0100 From: Gabriel Ambuehl X-Mailer: The Bat!

I have a box that is running FreeBSD-4.5PRE, 2 CPU's and a Gig of RAM. The box is nothing more than a SMB and NFS file server. I have the following kernel options set: maxusers 256 options SYSVSHM #SYSV-style shared memory options NMBCLUSTERS=16384 options QUOTA options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O I am contemplating adding: options MAXDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" # Is the maximum limit options DFLDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" # Is the default value for the limit But I don't think that is the problem since the actual SMB processes never reach over 4MB in size. I installed the port for Samba 2.2.2 (from ports-stable) and I'm seeing the smb logs littered with the following, and then the processes eventually coring out. Whe this happenes the box has TONs of free memory available (>500M)... I read BUGS.txt and found nothing.

A short review of some of the comments I got (and my answers): - Some people suppose I do this as some sort of security measure: Security by obscurity. (And isn't admin a bit predicatable then?) Well, obscurity helps of course, but it is no substitute for bad maintenance. I know that and the main reason I wanted it changed was easthetics. I like the new name better, so why wouldn't I be able to change it. (And no, it's not 'admin'. That IS a bit predictable.) And Cliff, all that information you could find out about my system (and more) has probably been mentioned earlier in the mailing list. If I want usable tips, I have to give up some info, don't I? But I am curious how you would determine my FreeBSD version in just a few seconds. Besides, half the info you mention I can extract from your mail headers as well if you haven't faked them. - If you could gain access to a normal user, you could just look at /etc/passwd for the new name. Yes, so let's try and not let unauthorized people gain user-access. As I just said, security is not the main issue in this name change. - Installation scripts and upgrading may be affected. Right, that IS an issue. Next time I upgrade (I believe 4.5 is about to come out) I will see what happens. But since chown and install accept numeric ID's as well as names, why not use them in the scripts? That way anyone can name root anything they want. I do not expect the ports collection and system sources to change, but why not take it into account on the next upgrade. What was it Shakespear said about a rose's name? A known convention is that user ID 0 is all powerful. If the name matters, then say so. I think it would be a good idea to have a list of required user and group names and numbers for a system or for a port (like postfix expects a postfix user and a maildrop group). If such a list exists and is published I will accept it and stick to it. If not I reserve the right to rename any of them (and accept the problems arising from it :-) With kind regards, Rogier Steehouder -- ___ _ -O_\ // | / Rogier Steehouder //\ / \ r.j.s@gmx.net // \ <---------------------- 25m ----------------------> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 31 6:58:15 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.mango-bay.com (mail.mango-bay.com [208.206.15.12]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7D4FC37B427 for ; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 06:58:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from barbish ([63.70.155.104]) by mail.mango-bay.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-52377U2500L250S0V35) with SMTP id com for ; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 10:00:36 -0500 From: "Joe & Fhe Barbish" To: "FBSD Questions" Subject: How-to Instructions to set up FTP server Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 09:58:11 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Looking for How-To instructions to set up FTP server environment on FBSD.

It expects a user dedicated for postfix, with the same for its group. Maildrop need not have a unique group, that is configurable (not from the ports though).

But its only for the users who have a accound the machine. If you wan't a anon ftp server then you can set this up though /stand/sysinstall. If you don't wan't to have anon uploads do a chmod of the incomming direcotry so that the world may not write. Special config files can be set up for this group of users, but you have to look in to man ftpd for this.

Define "specs". Well, FreeBSD supports about every normal modem that supports the AT command set. This excludes some cheap Winmodems, but I guess these aren't good anyway. On http://www.freebsd.org/handbook you will find the FreeBSD handbook, along with information how to get your modem to work. Assuming you want to use ppp, you will find everything you need to know there. If you want to use your modem for other things (terminal dial-up access, receiving faxes, etc), then the FreeBSD handbook is also a good place to start, but you may need some of the additional software found in /usr/ports/comms. Hope that helps...

While I'm "guilty", I'm not to hot on the adduser script. I tried putting "?" when I didn't understand what it was asking and think that would be a nice option for this script to have one or two sentences of feedback. I wanted to add a generic user, w/the default skel options. No more no less. This thing screwed things up - but I should have "read the man page"...

I can't start gnome, or mozilla, other than as root. Running "startx" as a regular user gives an error message about needing to be SUID root to start the server. Mozilla gives a similar 'permissions' error message. I followed the FreeBSD Handbook for the installation of XF86-4.x from the ports collection and have the same .xinitrc in my user dir as I have in root's dir. Can you be of any help in this? Thanks.

One machine is 'fullmoon', running on Debian GNU/Linux and the second machine is 'zeus', running on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. fullmoon is my NIS master server. Now I'd like to have zeus as a NIS slave server. On fullmoon, I modified /var/yp/Makefile.

Not all versions of tar support decompression of gzipped files. The first case will work in these cases. The second will work with FreeBSD as its tar does decompress gzipped files. If you are posting instructions that should work across multiple platforms, the first set is the one to use. If you are expanding the tar file on a FreeBSD system, the second is simpler. R.

I do not know about pnm2ppa or HP 712c's, but what are the symptoms
you see when you have lpd started from rc.conf?

Does lpd itself run OK?  If you send a job to the printer, does the
lpd start a task for that job/printer, and the job "disappears"?  Or
does lpd cease running?

You have an 'if=' filter set in your printcap file?  If the filter is
running OK when started by hand, then it's probably something subtle
in the environment which is different.  Have the filter print out it's
environment into some logfile, and see what's different.  It wouldn't
surprise me if the problem was that the setting of PATH is different,
and that the filter needs to pull something out of /usr/local/bin or
something like that. --part1_c9.1b02f343.29622f28_boundary-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 31 13:19:48 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from lists.blarg.net (lists.blarg.net [206.124.128.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6597737B420 for ; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 13:19:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from thig.blarg.net (thig.blarg.net [206.124.128.18]) by lists.blarg.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0B08BBD09; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 13:19:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost.localdomain ([206.124.139.115]) by thig.blarg.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA24755; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 13:19:28 -0800 Received: (from jojo@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.11.6/8.11.3) id fBVLKnu33445; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 13:20:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from swear@blarg.net) To: Cliff Sarginson Cc: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Can I rename root?

Of course I considered that that might be what he meant, but I don't read minds, and I try to draw inferences from what I read, to draw out concepts rather than following steps blindly. And I think it makes sense to remove all unneeded accounts. I was just optimistic enough to hope that the system build scripts wouldn't need a UUCP account and didn't see the requirement documented. Same for the "xten" account. I was happy to find that "adduser" works for non-user accounts too. ;-) > The name may be a system account, which is not a login account. The term "system account" seems too nebulous to be useful without nearby qualification. I've considered "root" and "toor" to be system accounts even though they are login accounts. And I've considered "xten", "pop", "bind", and "uucp" to not be system accounts, but as "application accounts", because they are not (AFAIK) related to required system software, but to applications. I suppose some people think "distributed" instead of "required" or consider "xten", "pop", etc. as part of the system rather than applications.

When I ran "make world" everything worked fine...as far as I know. After that, I ran the following commands: # make clean -to clean up after make world (is this correct??) # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config # make depend all install clean -to synchronize kernel modules This also seemed to work fine. When it was done. I noticed that the /usr/ports/ directory had less directories than before, and the categories that did remain have very few (if any) ports in them any more. Also, when I try to run "make search key=xxxx" I get an error saying "make: don't know how to make search. Stop". I don't really know what I did wrong. From my understanding of the process, aren't *all* ports, the source, and documentation supposed to be updated (depending on the entries in the cvsup-config file you use, of course)? I was under the impression that anything that was updated would replace the old and anything untouched would not be removed...is this correct? Any ideas on what I did wrong? Here is the applicable sections of my cvsup-config file and my refuse file: cvsup-config: (--clipped--) # Defaults that apply to all the collections # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html. *default host=cvsup7.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr # The following line is for 4-stable.

The doc-all and ports-all have a "tag=." as the only real option. There are only a few ports that go with RELENG_4 and cvsup removed the rest. The ports INDEX file is updated infrequently. The INDEX file is what is used by the search option. The way around this is to install the portupgrade port in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. Then, you do a "portsdb -Uu" after each cvsup of the ports-all. I takes a few minutes even on an AMD 1600+ XP such as I use. I have several machines and I upgrade the ports-all on all of them but ftp the INDEX files from the main computer. No sense in making all of them generate the INDEX files when they will be the same. I find it convient to then add the make search as a "search" alias.

It's depend where your modem used port i mean you can use com1=cuaa0, com2=cuaa1 and so on, sorry it's internal modem or external...?, about server address you should contact your ISP. -- budsz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 31 22: 4:29 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail8.nc.rr.com (fe8.southeast.rr.com [24.93.67.55]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1EC7637B426 for ; Mon, 31 Dec 2001 22:04:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from there ([66.57.85.154]) by mail8.nc.rr.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.687.68); Tue, 1 Jan 2002 01:04:25 -0500 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" From: Brian T.Schellenberger To: Rogier Steehouder , FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Can I rename root?

It is a certainty that many scripts and programs use "root" explicitly by name and if you eliminate root you will run into trouble. Perhaps this is "wrong" but I promise you it will occur. If you want to log in as admin, I'd suggest just vipw, copy the root line to admin, thus creating two different user *names* for the single user *id* 0. This shouldn't cause any trouble (though vipw might complain about it). You can log in as admin and the all the programs out there can call you root and everybody should be happy. -- Brian T.

Re all!

This one thing is = bothering me about=20 ipfw traffic shaping ability. Lets say
we have:

ipfw pipe 1 = config bw=20 128kbit/s
ipfw queue 1 config weight 5 pipe 1
ipfw queue 2 config = weight=20 50 pipe 1
ipfw add queue 1 ip from box1 to any
ipfw add queue 2 ip = from=20 box2 to any
ipfw add pipe 1 ip from box3 to any
ipfw add allow ip = from=20 box4 to any

these rules are kinda stupid but just to illustrate = what i=20 mean :-)

This means that box1-3 are limited to 128kbit/s of = bandwidth and=20 box4 is
free. Now what I dont understand is which box has maximum = priority=20 here?
Does higher weight number means higher priority? And what about = box4=20 who
isn't piped and queued what is his priority?

Thank you for = bothering and answering!
