Re: Dual Display
I was wondering if any of you had a dual-head setup and if so what video card were you using? you mean X11 desktop consisting of two monitors? (xinerama) or 2 screens? i made such a things some time ago that one machine has 2 keyboards, two mices and two graphics cards running a-bit-patched XFree86, to make two-user machine. different AGP cards worked as first, but for secondary Matrox were good and tested, many cards doesn't like to work at all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Basically, it all depends on how much you spent for the modem. A $15-20 modem is more than likely a WinModem (software modem) which FreeBSD does *NOT* support without a third party driver. If the modem cost $70-100, and it is recongized as a serial port by the sio driver, then it probably will work. The reason why I threw the cost of the equipment into the mix was because the cheap modems don't have the controller, DSP, data pump, or other required hardware. All the functions of those components is emulated in the software of the host system. This is why that are known as software modems. A hardware modem costs much more, but it also has all the required hardware such as the controller, DSP, data pump, etc. so it can function independantly of the host system software. You can also generally tell by looking at the modem itself. Usually, if you see a chip that has what looks like version numbers on it, as well as one or more large square chips and lots of circutry, then you probably have a hardware modem. The best way is lookup the model number on the manufacturer's web site and see what it is. If it says it's only compatible with Windows, then more than likely it's a software modem. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi All, I have a problem with the limit MAXPATHLEN. I have a freebsd box 4.9-RELEASE as a backup server. I have programs in client servers which backup their data to this freebsd server. Few clients have in their servers directories which are above 1024 ( MAXPATHLEN limit ) and rsync of those folders fails. I can not modify directory structure or names. I recompiled rsync with modified MAXPATHLEN but then mkdir fails during rsync. Can I modify MAXPATHLEN in sys/params.h and build FreeBSD from source to fix this problem . Or is it possible to recompile libc alone to fix the problem. Also , when I tried to do the rsync to a redhat Linux , it didnt show this problem. Are they not following standards ?

Re: How do I know if my internal PCI modem works on FreeBSD?
Basically, it all depends on how much you spent for the modem. A $15-20 modem is more than likely a WinModem (software modem) which FreeBSD does *NOT* support without a third party driver. If the modem cost $70-100, and it is recongized as a serial port by the sio driver, then it probably will work. externally connected modems (by serial) costs less than $100 anyway and do work for sure. many external modems does connect by USB port and can be cheaper, but check for "hayes compatible" label (or similar) as some USB modems are winmodems too. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The ruby script doesn't convert pkgtools.conf if
it's entries are in array format, but if they are like this:
'editors/openoffice*' => 'LOCALIZED_LANG=en-US WITH_KDE=1',
'emulators/qemu'=> 'WITH_KQEMU=1',
then it works fine. That script was donated and I haven't had the time
to fix it, if your patch solves the problem that would be great! I'm still
tied up for most of today so testing it myself might not happen until tonight
or tomorrow.
For your information, the converted output goes to:
/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-039-pkg-tools.conf
see if your patch keeps it in the same format as:
/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf
if so I'll apply it to the ruby script, and be very thankful for your help
with this :)

Re: mkisofs on 5.4
Thanks for responding. >>Do you see the problem if you only use mkisofs? Yes. I just tried it and got the same problem with an iso image using mkisofs. This is starting to look like a timezone issue. The date/time difference between the date displayed via ISO and the date displayed via FFS (same file), is five hours which is my timezone from GMT. I'm on the US Eastern seaboard. The date/time is being displayed correctly by date() and by UFS2. It appears that cd9660 is having a problem with the time zone. As another reference point, when I mount the DVD I created, under MSwin, the dates are displayed correctly. >>You don't expect mkisofs to change the date for you, right? No. I expect the date/time of the files under UFS2 to be preserved when they are written to the DVD (or an iso image). I can confirm now that mkisofs is not the problem since the dates are accurate under MSwin.

You'll have to build java/linux-sun-jdk14 manually and jump through the Sun hoops to get the distfiles, just follow the instructions that pop up when you make it. In this status report it looks like the kde ports updated successfully, so your just down to the java port correct?

Right - I think this one is correct - the format in
/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-039-pkg-tools.conf is the same as that in
/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf, which is a promising sign...

Yep, the new patch handles both - I use both formats in my pkgtools.conf
file, and the created file is correct. For example:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'www/mod_php4*' => [
'WITH_BZIP2=yes',
'WITH_CTYPE=yes',
'WITH_MYSQL=yes',
'WITH_OVERLOAD=yes',
'WITH_PCRE=yes',
'WITH_POSIX=yes',
'WITH_SESSION=yes',
'WITH_TOKENIZER=yes',
'WITH_XML=yes',
'WITH_ZLIB=yes',
'WITH_GETTEXT=yes',
'WITH_ICONV=yes',
'WITH_IMAP=yes',
'WITH_MCRYPT=yes',
'WITH_MHASH=yes',
'WITH_OPENSSL=yes',
'WITH_OPENLDAP=yes',
],
'textproc/ispell*' => 'ISPELL_BRITISH=yes',
'mail/exim*' => [
'WITH_MYSQL=1',
],
'net/samba*' => [
'BATCH=yes',
'WITH_UTMP=yes',
'WITH_SYSLOG=yes',
'WITHOUT_CUPS=yes',
'WITH_RECYCLE=yes',
],
'courier-imap*' => 'WITH_MYSQL=1',
'mail/courier-authlib*' => 'WITH_MYSQL=1',
}
converts to:
mail/courier-authlib*|WITH_MYSQL=1 |
courier-imap*|WITH_MYSQL=1 |
www/mod_php4*|WITH_BZIP2=yes WITH_CTYPE=yes WITH_MYSQL=yes WITH_OVERLOAD=yes WIT
H_PCRE=yes WITH_POSIX=yes WITH_SESSION=yes WITH_TOKENIZER=yes WITH_XML=yes WITH_

H=yes WITH_OPENSSL=yes WITH_OPENLDAP=yes |
net/samba*|BATCH=yes WITH_UTMP=yes WITH_SYSLOG=yes WITHOUT_CUPS=yes WITH_RECYCLE
=yes |
mail/exim*|WITH_MYSQL=1 |
textproc/ispell*|ISPELL_BRITISH=yes |
I can foresee problems with this default entry in pkgtools.conf:
AFTERINSTALL = {
'*' => proc { |origin|
cmd_restart_rc(origin)
},
}
It converts to this:
START|/* #|
And my guess would be that, as the Ruby instance that creates the file
has gone away, the address of the Proc object will be freed. Dunno what
you want to do about that one.
Cheers,
Dan

isn't a problem, it ends up being ignored because

doesn't convert to a ports directory.
I just tested your patch, works perfect! Saves me from having to learn ruby
for another while yet, thanks much! I'm testing another bug fix reported by
someone else so when done with that I'll include this so it will be in
version 0.3.9_6. Should be in the ports tree tonight but I'll send you a
patch to drop into portmanager/files just in case it takes awhile to get into
the ports tree.

I advise you to go to cvshome.org to read the documentation on how to set up a source code repository with CVS. I also recommend not to use pserver if you can avoid it. You can authenticate all CVS users via local accounts and SSH. With two environmant variables CVS_ROOT=... CVS_RSH=... the users then make their local CVS clients use SSH to authenticate with the CVS server and transmit their commits enrypted. In this way you don't need a CVS daemon running on the server.

Btw, if you don't have company or departemental constraints forcing you to use CVS, go for Subversion instead. AFAIK the KDE source is in Subversion: http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html And the KDE source is quite big. It has all the functionality of CVS and is far less of a hassle to use. E.g. you can't move files or directories in CVS, you have to copy, cvs add, delete, cvs remove files and then the directories, making this simple operation a real nuisance. In Subversion you can move files and directories. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Apparently you have to run it as root, and then it works fine--is anyone else seeing this behavior? The /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox script etc. has execute perms for any user.

FreeBSD-6.0 Install slows to a crawl
I am attempting an install of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE with the CD1 ISO image. Everything runs at a normal speed until it mounts /dev/md0 and runs /stand/sysinstall. At that point the whole process slows to a crawl. It does not freeze, but it is really slow. I suffered through the Standard install, which has been installing bin to / for the last 12 hours at about 0.3 KB per second. I have a dual celeron 433 setup using an Abit BP6 motherboard. I saw that its ACPI setup is blacklisted, so I disabled it in the BIOS. I have disabled ACPI at the boot loader prompt as well. I did not see anything about this in the INSTALL, RELNOTES or README docs. Am I missing something? Are there any other kernel hints that would be useful? Thanks for the help!

Setting up a print-server
Hi, I have the task of setting up a FreeBSD box as a print-server for the lan here at home. I've used FreeBSD for quite a while, but am currently just a little rusty. I was hoping the list members could help me with planning a strategy, and possibly point me to some resources for help. I have my copies of The Handbook and FreeBSD Unleashed at my side. :-) The printers are: HP1100 LaserJet (non-postscript, parallel only) Epson Stylus C86 (postscript, USB only) Here is my current list of requirements: My daughter's WinXP Pro SP2 box must be able to print to either printer. My Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3 box must be able to print to either printer. (I may not know what I'm talking about here, but) I would prefer IP printing as the only means of serving the printers, rather than Samba for serving to Windows, AND CUPS or something else for serving to OS X. The FreeBSD machine is quite capable hardware-wise of doing all this. I have a copy of 4.11-RELEASE, but will be glad to install whatever version makes it easiest to do what I need.

How often portupgrades?
Just wondering what a good rule of thumb is in how often to run portupgrades. I figure that once a week should be sufficient, however each time it runs it can take up to a few hours to complete which seems like an unnecessary hassle to me. Once it even started rebuilding the complete gnome port which took a couple days! Is this worthwhile? What are the benefits? Thanks alot in advance.

pptp problems
Please reply your message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im from israel. I use vpn over _cable_ (not dialing) to connect to the internet. works fine in windows. On Freebsd 6.0. i installed pptpclient which uses pptpclient 1.7.0 sources, the newest version. Problem description: -I recieve a local ip from the cable company: 172.27.15.77 on sis0 interface. -I run pptpclient, seems to connect and creates a new device tun0 with a valid internet ip and gateway -From here im still incapable of ping or resolving anything. Anything i try to resolve becomes 213.57.1.13 which is the ip for the cable company website. the name servers it uses are 192.168.101.101. which is the same as in windows, but on windows i am successful in resolving websites after i connect to vpn. Also i cannot ping any valid ip over the internet. packets time out. basically i cant connect or do anything. I tried adding a route or changing default route, but usually when i do this i kill the pptp connection. I can give you more info on the protocols of vpn in windows like PAP and SPAP but i dont htink thats the issue because i get valid ip on new device tun0, i just cant figure how to use it and connect through it without killing the pptp connection.

My USB works, and the speakers are drawing a current when plugged in, but I do not get any music through them. (Audio in general works fine; I can get sound of out the built-in speakers or through headphones and so forth, but I want to use USB speakers to avoid batteries or a separate power cord.)

Everybody has to figure out that one for himself, so, here is my rule of thumb: Upgrade your ports only when you need to. If all installed ports work fine and a new version doesn't introduce some functionality you simply need to have, why update? Just for the sake of updateing?

Re: Dual Display
I'm using an old Matrox G450 with 2 19" tubes. It works very well for 2D applications (which mine are), but it certainly is not that good for 3D. The open-source driver is stable and very well debugged. Now if only more applications were more Xinerama-aware...

No, because it's far less trouble to upgrade frequently than to have to spend time working out when you need to upgrade. Even Microsoft now sees that running for long periods without updates, just because the applications work, is a bad idea. I have a script that synchronizes my ports tree, tells me what ports are old, and displays a diff comparing UPDATING to an older version. A second script runs portmanager with nice.

A big File Server
A big File Server I’m the administrator of a student network of 350 people in the student campus of Xanthi Greece. We are NOT funded by the university or anybody else so we pay for everything in our network. I use FreeBSD for over a year now for our main server and I’m very happy with it. The goal is quite simple. We need a 3 Terra Byte fileserver. Requirements: 1. Cheap. No SCSI, no fancy disk controllers, not expensive equipment. 2. Unique space. No divisions (partitions) of any kind 3. Easily expandable The purpose is to store there the data (movies, mp3, games, projects e.t.c) of the network. The plan is to make a cluster of 4 old PCs (PII – PIII) that should work diskless using network cards with boot rom and PXE. Then mount all disks with NFS and “unite” them with Vinum volume manager. But before asking 350 students to pay for this plan I have a lot of questions need to be answered. 1. Has anybody done this? 2. How stable and viable is the whole thing? 3. With Vinum can I mount volumes that are already full of data written in FFS or EXT3 without formatting them first? 4. Can I mount this way disks from a Linux box (FC3 with ext3 and LVM)? 5. Can I recover the contents of a single disk using a windows or a Linux box? 6. How can I tell the contents of a certain disk? Any answers or ideas?

how to copy MBR??

Having much trouble with wep on wireless
I give in. I've been working for hours on this without resolution. I just bought a wireless router and I'm trying to get wep working. I'm pretty sure it's working on the router side. I'm having trouble setting the key in FreeBSD. The man page says to use wepkey to set it, but that's been giving errors. When I just do "ifconfig ath0", I notice there's a deftxkey, so I've been using that to try to set the key. The problem is that when I use it, it still says it's undefined despite no errors. Here's an example: kenshi# ifconfig ath0 wepmode on deftxkey 0x0123456789 kenshi# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe6e:def9%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:13:46:6e:de:f9 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps) status: associated ssid bahamut channel 6 bssid 00:14:bf:b4:c3:e8 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 36 protmode CTS bintval 100 Since it says privacy is on, I believe that means wepmode was set, but I can't set the key for anything. By the way, if I run ifconfig with all the parameters, including the IP address, it says: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists This has me completely baffled. I thought I got it working once, but when I set it in rc.conf and restarted, it no longer worked and I haven't managed to get it working again. I appreciate any help. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ alias pkg_dups alias pkg_dups='pkg_info | sort | sed -e '\''s/-[0-9].*$//'\'' | uniq -c | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*1'\''' [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pkg_dups 3 autoconf 3 automake 2 libtool 2 p5-Compress-Zlib 2 p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder 2 p5-IO-String I'd prefer to have one version of each of these installed. What's the normal way to resolve this, and the subsequent dependency problems? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

I would have thought you'd want to increase it (after configuring everything else)...else you'll get all those nasty "server too busy" errors. Running wc -l on the daily Apache access logs, I get: ~1.8million hits per day cool. you should most definitely be able to serve that much (with an http service that is properly configured). Apache should do fine. I dont think i can give much advice on the NFS side of things but in the meantime I would : - increase # of MaxClients (the default is RIDICULOUSLY small, specially in 1.3. You will probably have to recompile with a new max. Higher than 256? yes. IIRC, I've had apache 1.3 configured to over maxclients 1500 with about hardware. Your hardware + OS will set some limits (which you should modify as needed of course), but you should definitely be able to have more than 256. - You RAM seems OK ... you may want to tweak some sysctl or memory settings in Apache (I seem to remember in 1.3 some to do with MMap, but i could be wrong) ... or just add more RAM. Check vmstat (or systat -vm 1) to see how much swapping is going on. Will do...thanks for the suggestions. np btw, i think i forgot to mention you should look into changing to KeepAlive OFF (you want to serve a file and free up the apache resources for the next request - you trade off a bit of speed on each client's transaction, but overall you should see a great improvement. If you dont want to kill http keepalive altogether, set the timeout to a short timeframe (1 minute? 30 secs). good luck, Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
