It seems you've gone astray in time. FreeBSD 5.2 has yet to be released. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/5-roadmap/schedule.html Perhaps you mean 5.1 ? You won't find all possible packages on the CD Rom set as there's simply far too much stuff to fit onto the CDs. Your best bet is to install the cvsup-without-gui package: # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui then use cvsup to pull down the latest version of the ports tree and install via ports. This will have been updated since 5.1 was released, in order to take account of updates to the dependent packages. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Then: # cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-server # make install Cheers, Matthew ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I heard that ppp itself has capability of NAT. It can work with the command ppp -nat and without running natd. Please tell me whether it is right or wrong. That is correct, it doesn't require natd for 'ppp -nat' Just setup your fw of choice as if the tun0 device is the external device and leave all the nat stuff completely out of it. Put any port forwarding rules you need in the ppp.conf file. ipfw is the same. If natd is not used, I can't add the rule ... Correct, you need natd if you will be using ipfw for your NAT rules. add divert natd ip from any to any via tun0 to /etc/ipfw.rules. I'm confused. 2. And if natd is still required, what -nat argument (ppp -nat) is for? natd isn't required for ppp -nat. HTH the confusion. cya Andrew This worked fine for me, although I prefer to use pf. Here is how I setup pf (Adjust for your interfaces as necessary) My Internet interface is rl0, setup in rc.conf as: ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" My local interface is rl1, setup in rc.conf as: ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" 3. I haven't mentioned that I can't use this configuration. I have 2 interfaces i.e. public and private LAN. But I have only one NIC card for private LAN. I don't have NIC card for public. I'm using 56k modem to connect the outside world. I think I can't add ifconfig_tun0="inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 0xff00" to /etc/rc.conf. If I'm wrong, please tell me. I did much googling. All sites always refer 2 NIC cards being used like your example. I do have only one NIC card + 56k serial modem (/dev/cuad0). (I also have a defaultrouter setting which probably does not apply to you) I have nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf (or setup your own DNS server if you wish) 4. I also have nameserver entries. I tried setting DNS server on my WinXP host to both gateway (FBSD host) and DNS servers of ISP. Both don't work. Use this settings in rc.conf for pf: pf_enable="YES" pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog" pflog_flags="" pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf" pf_flags="" gateway_enable="YES" 5.

I recompiled my kernel. options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=120 options IPDIVERT I think it should be equivalent to sysctl setting. Add the following rule to /etc/pf.conf nat pass on rl0 from rl1:network to any -> rl0 AFAIR, if rl0 has a dynamic address, you will have to write it with parentheses, like: nat pass on rl0 from rl1:network to any -> (rl0) (Note that in /etc/pf.conf translation rules like the above, are placed above filtering rules like pass or block etc) You may have to adjust /etc/pf.conf filtering rules, assuming you have any. Restart some services # /etc/rc.d/netif restart # /etc/rc.d/routing restart # /etc/rc.d/pf restart or simply reboot, and you should be set. 7.

Re: Firewall with bridged interfaces and captive portal
Olivier Nicole wrote: Hi Chris, I need to implement a firewall with bridged interfaces that offers captive portal (authentication before opening the traffic). We are using a combination of squid+ipfw. Although we are NATing the users, that really just introduces needless complexity that could be avoided with a bridging solution. Our web-app/captive portal/authentication program is written in-house; it's very tightly integrated with several existing pieces of infrastructure. I don't know if there are any solutions that will work out-of-the-box. I can get you more technical details if this is a direction you'd be interested in moving. Long time ago I have been toying with ipf (for the genral firewall) and NoCat+ipfw for the captive portal. But that did not work too well, so any technical information will be appreciated :) My long term vision is a quite integrated thing, where users that read their email and authenticate to POP3/IMAP would be granted the access without the need to authenticate to the web portal. For squid have a look at the option auth_param You are able to use your own authorisation app/script that can check all kinds of places to see if that IP is allowed access. For example I have a client that has samba on his transparent proxy. Each user has a drive letter mapped to that share. The script defined by auth_param just greps the ip from 'smbstatus -p' and uses the username with that IP to tell squid what user it is for the logs. There would be nothing to stop the script to check ipfw, to see if there is rules for that ip to allow access and then if there isn't, add them. To remove the ipfw rules you could have a cron script that checks the last packet time (using -t or -T) and if its over a certain time then remove it (preferably with the checking of where you got the initial check to see if the user is valid or not).

Problem with makeinfo when I'm building devel/autoconf-262
Hello. I'm running FreeBSD 5.5 and trying to build
autoconfig 2.62 from ports (due iirc to an update to the
autotools port in mid-May). Everything goes fine until we

source upsets makeinfo. I don't understand texinfo source
and I can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone give me
some advice? TIA. Here is the (trimmed but still
somewhat lengthy) output of the build:

stale dependencies in pkgdb
Hello, I am trying to use a combination of portaudit and portupgrade to automatically maintain installed packages on my system, but portupgrade often hangs on stale dependencies. I've run "pkgdb -F" as portupgrade suggests, deleting stale dependencies, but they seem to keep reappearing. I guess I'm a little unclear about what a stale dependency consists of and how to fix it. Pointers to relevant documentation and/or explanations would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry; just fired off a message to the list before I got this one... Anyway, I think I've got it now. I believe I was correct in thinking that portupgrade usually takes care of dependencies; the portion that I was missing was that pkgdb catches what discrepancies do appear between what is installed and what is required. One of the ports that was giving me troubles was gamin; which I've just noticed seems to be similar to your situation with openldap-sasl (gamin/fam). Another was cdrtools (cdrtools/cjk-cdrtools). I've corrected both manually using "pkgdb -F", which I think solves my problem (for now, at least :-) ).

using Realplayer codecs with mplayer
Hello, Please correct me if this is not the best place to post this question; it wasn't clear to me if it belonged on the 'multimedia' list or not... I'd like to be able to use mplayer to play Realmedia files (more specifically, streaming audio), but I can't seem to get it working under FreeBSD. I have mplayer, realplayer and the win32-codecs ports installed. mplayer and realplayer both work great, but mplayer refuses to play Realaudio streams. It fails with the error: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll,/usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll,/usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll On a hunch, I grabbed the latest (stable) codecs from mplayerhq.hu, and extracted them into /usr/local/lib/win32, but it doesn't include this dll either. So, I suppose my question is: Will mplayer, if set up correctly, play realaudio files, or is this not possible since realplayer is being run under Linux emulation? Thanks for any info or pointers to relevant posts or documentation... -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is, admittedly, somewhat of a gray area, but I cannot see it as being immoral if they are for my personal use. I have done it with Slackware, mplayer, and realplayer, but I'd rather not have another OS around just for this (seemingly) simple task. -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any chance that this would happen to be a FAT32 file system? I'm not using rsync, but I have a similar setup, (shared media files on a FAT32 partition), and have had numerous annoying errors because of this. Most notably, not being able to change user/group ownership of anything on that partition.

I don't have a specific URL for you, but a suggestion: what about the CVS interface on freebsd.org?

Kernel-level PPPoE server
Hi! I'm fighting my way through manuals and mailing-list archives and I hope you won't mind a dumb question. I run FreeBSD4.10-Release and I want to set up a kernel-level PPPoE server. The problem is I can't find a way to make pppd work with pppoed. As you know, pppoed executes "exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct label" by default, but it can be passed any other line to execute. Pppoed(8) says: "The child process will have standard input and standard output attached to the same netgraph(4) data socket (see ng_socket(4)) when started." Unfortunately, pppd has no analog of "direct" option for ppp. If we execute pppd without any tty_name, then it assumes "/dev/tty" and, as expected, exits after an error: "Failed to open /dev/tty: Device not configured". Since pppoed can execute any line, we can run any script or program before we invoke pppd. So, is there any way to open a pseudo-terminal that would connect to current standart input and standart output? Pppoed opens a pppoe connection via ng_pppoe and ng_socket, all we need for pppd to work is a device (tty) representing the data socket. Is there any other way to get pppd and pppoed working together? Is there any other way to set up a fast pppoe server under FreeBSD?

Thanks, but I'm just curious - it must be very easy to set up pppd with pppoed, but nobody seems to have done it at all! As for speed and perfomance: you can find some tests at [2] and handbook implies it as well [3]. Now, I know that using mpd is one way, but I think pppd would cope just fine.

Your hosting company seems to have used an UDMA33 IDE cable for the second hard drive. If they cannot find another U100 cable, then you'd better ask them to put both drives on one U100 cable.

ADSL (1 dyn IP) => FreeBSD => WinGate => NAT Network???
Hi! I've been using Wingate for months now to distribute an internet connection among 10 users (NAT). Stunned by regular failures of Windows 2000, Wingate and other evil software, I decided to switch to FreeBSD. I read the handbook and about 3000 more pages of manuals / how-to's / guides. I set up FreeBSD with all applications I currently need for server tasks. I now need to test some applications, while keeping a part of the load on the Wingate machine. What I want to do is connect to internet via ADSL, using the bsd box, and let Wingate use the connection through the box. What is the best way to retain most of the NAT functionality? If you are happy to not know what Wingate is, try to assume that it is just another nat-box. Can bsd somehow "forward" connection, so that the nat-box almost feels like it has a real IP?

Sound card drivers
Hello! I've built a new AMD64 PC for me based on Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro motherboard with VIA K8T800 chipset. I knew I had to check it out against hardware notes, but I didn't. So I installed FreeBSD-5.3, built Xorg and Gnome from ports, and was devastated to find out that there's no conceivable way to get my built-in Realtek ALC658 sound card working :-( I've installed winxp since and been pondering on how to get FreeBSD singing. Please tell me, what's the best way I need a nice soundcard with a fully functional S/PDIF coaxial and optical outputs, that can send unencoded 44.1kHz, 48kHz and encoded AC3 and DTS - all latest Realtek sound cards can do that. I need it to be 90-100% supported by FreeBSD (bridge driver or not) and I don't care about the price if it's under $100 and worth it. Save me from M$! I've wanted it for months to switch to BSD and only see Windows in a PC emulator...

I grepped sysctl list and found hw.snd.pcm0.spdif_enabled
switch, but when I change it 0->1, the sound disappears
(both analog and digital outputs are silent). I tried
to play with other hw.snd switches, changed mixer levels
and recsrc, searched the net for a few hours - but nothing
came up. People hack into sound drivers in cases like mine,
but I'm too lame for that yet.
Anyways, after loading snd_driver dmesg says
pcm0: ...
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0:
Motherboard manual says it's a "Realtek ALC658 CODEC (UAJ)"
and the chip itself says "Realtek". Has anybody tried to
make spdif out work on this mother?

Andrew

This is what I did.
cd /sys/i386/conf

cd ../compile/GENERIC
then
make depend
then

Re: building the 5.1 kernel
Thanks for the reply Reply to your comments... MINIBSD - I am presently running regular ole freebsd 5.1. I eventually plan to rebuild the OS for an application. For now it is vanilla flavor freebsd. GENERIC - Agreed if no changes were made the kernel doesn't have to be rebuilt. I used the unchanged GENERIC file to verify the kernel would build before I started making changes. It insures all the files/scripts are in place. Alternative build process: I tried it that way as well. Got the same errors.

freebsd builds
Hi, Building kernels I am comfortable with. I have been doing it a while for SUSE. Now I wanted to try freebsd 5.1. So I have some questions about freebsd builds. Some of the questions may sound dumb but I want to make sure I don't do something catostrophic based on a past experience with SUSE. So... make clean - simply cleans objects, executables in the work area /usr/src. Nothing else make buildkernel - simply builds the kernel, support modules, and so on in the work area only /usr/src. The biilt kernel is located in /usr/obj/usr/src/../kernel. make installkernel - once this is done, that which was in the work area is placed in working directories of the installed system. For SUSE I used GRUB or lilo to write the boot block. For freebsd I use bsdlabel? I am targeting the kernel for a Soekris 4511. The 4511 has a national semiconductor ethernet chip. On SUSE I add the configuration parameter NATSEMI=Y to build the ethernet driver. What is the configruation parameter for Freebsd ethernet driver. I was reading a notes file on a technique of building a jail sandbox. The sandbox becomes something like freebsd inside freebsd. The purpose was to allow someone to make major modifications to the kernel and not affect the working operating system components. Per the notes file, the sandbox is set by: perform a customer install. During the install change the installation location to point to the sandbox. chroot Do a build in the sandbox I create the folder, changed the destintation to be the sandbox in the installation options, and installed freebsd in the sandbox folder. Then I: chroot to the sandbox To verify my sandbox install was correct, I tried to rebuild the GENERIC kernel in the sandbox. An error occured in makefile.inc1 line 139. That line has a make command dealing with CPUTYPE. The error was its value not being zero. I then exited the sandbox (command shell) and reexecuted the make command to rebuild the GENERIC kernel in the standard /usr/src location. It worked fine. So it is not the installation kit. The problem is something I have not done or did improperly in creating the sandbox. Thoughts.

Best LAN file archive server?
Good day to everyone! I want to arrange a file archive on my FreeBSD box so that windows users can access it via LAN (100Mbit). It'll be over 100Gb, mp3 and divx mostly. Throttling is imperative, it must be designed so that clients can listen to music and watch movies directly, without downloading them. There are only 10 LAN users, so I expect 5-8 simultaneous connections. I wonder, what do you think is the best solution for this - samba, http, ftp or something else? I don't want users to install additional software on their computers, but I'm ready to consider it if it's worth the worries. If ftp is the best, what is the best server? Ftpd? Another point - how to configure the filesystem so that it suits the purpose best? It's just my imagination - but I want it to cache everything insanely, to be very fast in responses and to spare the hard drive (as the latter is going to be a simple ATA drive, Maxtor, Seagate or Hitachi, which are inclined to deadly failures under heavy loads). Please excuse me for my stupidity, but I'm still a hardcore newbie.

Ultimately Safe User Account
Hi, I have a production FreeBSD box. My friend is starting to learn Unix essentials and is asking me for an account. He doesn't require any special rights, but he certainly wants to be able to use shell and read most manual pages. He'll access the server via Internet, SSH. How can I create an account, so that it is completely safe to let him in? How can I jail/chroot him and do I need to do it this way? I want to limit everything: disk space (~500Mb), RAM (~10%), processes (~30), cpu (~5-10%), _internet connectivity_ (bandwidth is expensive and he must not be able to download much). He is new to Unix but I have to suppose that somebody very experienced can steal his account info. I'd be glad if he had only very basic ls, cp, mv, as well as sh and vi. I don't want him to have any browser or fetch-like utility. I know that letting somebody log in is already a security hole, but I want to minimize the risks.

That'll turn him off unix pretty quick. Thanks for your feedback. I guess I'll just let him in and try not to worry. Well, the trouble is that I am the one administering the box and that it was this summer when I started reading heaps of unix/bsd documentation - for the first time in my life. I'm still paranoid about my own actions, not to mention smb's else. I'll give him cygwin/livecd as well, though. Thanks again!

Double IP address for tun /dev/tunN

Re: How can I route through a pc that is also using a router??
Hi! Describe the test-machine, please. If both workstations are on the same subnet, you should probably configure the test-machine as an ip-forwarder or even as an ethernet-level bridge. If your personal workstation is on a different subnet, which is not serviced by proxy or dns, you should configure NAT on the test-machine. In general, there's little problem in cascading gateway installations.

COM port problems p5mvp3-at
Hello, I am having some trouble with the COM ports on a ESA motherboard; model # P5MVP3-AT "Viking". Issues are: 1. With modem hooked up (via 9 pin D) to COM1 (/dev/cuaa0) the command "cu -l/dev/cuaa0 -s57600" does not communicate with the modem. 2. /sbin/dmesg output reveals that sio0 and sio1 are "identified", at the correct port (according to the BIOS settings), and are on the correct irq. The type of the device is 16550A. 3. device sio has been compiled into the kernel and cuaa0 and cuaa1 are in the /dev directory. 4. I can remove the external modem and put in an old US Robotics internal ISA modem configured with the jumpers to COM1 and the command "cu -l/dev/cuaa0 -s57600" works fine. In order for me to put in the ISA modem into the system I have to disable COM1 settings in the BIOS (the port number) or there is a conflict message at BIOS boot time. When I remove the ISA modem and hook the external modem back up to the system via 9 pin D cable the external modem still does not work. 5. BIOS has been updated. 6. Default BIOS settings have been tried along with alternate settings. 7. I know the modem works because I can hook it up to my Windows machine and connect to the internet. 8. I had the modem hooked up to a previous FreeBSD machine that was acting as a gateway and the modem worked fine. So, basically with BIOS set to default settings everything "seems" to be set up correctly but for some reason the modem does not work. Is this the appropriate list for help?

Thanks! I haven't thought about using expr. How come that my expr(1) manpage has nothing to say about -e option? In fact my expr(1) does not accept it. I have FreeBSD 4.10. I've just looked into a current manpage from www.freebsd.org, and it says something about 4.x compatibility. What is the best way to go if I need to write scripts now, but I'm planning to switch to 5.x later? Can I upgrade expr(1) now? If not, what should I do?

glibwww port - patch does not apply
Hi there, Maybe someone can help me, as I'm having trouble building evolution1.2.0 from ports.

wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
Hi, I have a Linksys WMP11 802.11b card running in hostap mode. Every now and then my wireless network dissappears. If I ssh into the box over a different interface everything looks OK. To get things going I run ifconfig wi0 down. The whole machines seems to lock up - it doesn't even respond to pings on other interfaces. If I wait long enough (30 secs approx) everything comes back. I find emitted from the kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. multiple times. Anyone seen this? Any ideas? I'm running 4.7-STABLE as of a few days ago.

Can't restart ssh after merging Usr/Grp files
I'm migrating one of my older servers currently running 4.7-prerelease to a new box running 4.8-RC. I backed up the master.password and group files. I copied the master.password file over as master.password.new and the group file over as group.new moved them both to /etc then: pwd_mkdb -p master.password.new rm group cp group.new group I checked all of the users and groups and they appear to match up correctly. su to other users works fine, but when I tried to open up another ssh connection to this remote server, I'm getting a Connection Closed. I tried to restart sshd, but I got Failed to start SSH server : Privilege separation user sshd does not exist I still have a ssh session running as root.

Power Saving
Hi, I was wondering what the "correct" way was meant to be to implement "CPU throttling" under FreeBSD 5. At boot I get: acpi_cpu: throttling enabled, 2 steps (100% to 50.0%), currently 100.0% Setting hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed to 1 seems to slow the CPU down (the percentages shown by top all increase). I want the CPU to be automatically throttled when the system is idle. I could write a daemon to poll the CPU usage every now and then and set the sysctl as needed but I thought there may be another way - perhaps there are hooks in the scheduler/idle loop for this sort of thing? Also, how do I get the HD to slow down? I have an IBM deskstar that lcaims to support running at half speed and I'd like that to happen when the disk hasn't been accessed in a while...

Someone recommended piping the output through netcat, which will work; however I have another suggestion. If you think the disk will be ok, use dd to "zero-out" the rest of the drive; i.e. dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros; rm zeros; dd if=/dev/ad0 of=- | gzip - - | nc $HOSTNAME $PORT; I've always used FTP instead of netcat, but you should be just fine. netcat may even be a bit faster, since you don't have the overhead of the FTP protocol. On the receiving end, just do the reverse: nc -l $PORT | gzip -d - - | dd if=- of=/dev/ad0; You can play around with blocksize too; sometimes it will speed up the process a little bit. One of these days, I am going to write a tool to do just this sort of thing, since it seems to be a fairly common practice. -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I did, however, want to interject my two cents here ;-). From a non-professional (i.e. student) viewpoint, it's been my experience that if I take the time to write a polite email, which includes relevant bits from my log files, to the admin for the IP in question asking them to look into it, they will usually take care of it. I suppose the appropriate response to this sort of situation depends on what your hosting. I run a web-server and SSH gateway for personal use, so although extremely annoying, it wouldn't be any big loss for me if it was cracked.

You are correct; although g4u is a collection of shell scripts, not an executable. There is some debate about whether or not it needs to be anything more than a shell script, but I think it makes sense. Right now we are using a re-write of g4u with FreeSBIE to install images in a lab on campus. It sort of has a GUI; we're using 'cdialog' based menus. I would like to re-write it in C, and add most of the features listed at http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/#size. I know it would be quite difficult, but I would like to add filesystem support to this yet-to-be-written tool as well. And I think it should be multithreaded too. This list of features seems to make this more of a programming exercise than question of what's actually necessary to get the job done. Anyway...

VM and jailed processes
Ok, I'm a bit fuzzy on some of the details, so take it easy. ;-) It's my understanding that if there is more than one instance of a specific application running, then portions of the code are shared in memory. I would assume that would apply to dynamically linked applications as well; i.e. if two different applications are linked against the same library, the given code exists in only one location in memory. Is this correct? The second portion of my question is, how does this apply to jailed processes? Looking through the architecture handbook, I did not see any references to VM, which leads me to believe that the standard rules apply to jails as well. So, for instance, if I was to provide a hosting service with numerous instances of Apache running in individual jails, could I assume that base memory usage (ie idle, not serving requests) would increase at a roughly linear rate? Lastly, if this is a question perhaps more appropriate for hackers@, please correct me.

Re: sshd delay
Hello, This is perhaps a long shot, but anyway... I assume the reason you tried turning off DNS look-ups is that remote host cannot resolve the local hostname, or it can, but takes a relatively long time to do so. You might check and see if syslog has DNS look-ups enabled. It's been a while, but I think we had a similar problem and don't ask me why, but turning off DNS look-ups for syslog solved the problem. I can't believe that sshd would block waiting for syslog, but I suppose it could be true... -Andrew On Sat, 2006-05-20 at 17:26 +0400, Andrew Pantyukhin wrote: > I have a problem.

Makefile and '$(addprefix)'
Hello all, I'm trying to clean up the source tree for some software I'm writing. The program itself is relatively simple, but is very fragmented; i.e. it has a lot of source files. I'd like to write one top-level Makefile that is able to find all of my source files, build the object files, and put them into a separate directory. I'm thinking this can't be that difficult, but I haven't figured it out yet. I'm trying to use $(addprefix) build lists of source files and object files containing the relative paths for each. The problem is that $(addprefix) never seems to be evaluated. When I run 'make -p', $OBJECT_LIST looks exactly like in does in my Makefile, which is listed below. Fixes or pointers to a somewhat simple example greatly appreciated... Thanks, -Andrew Begin Makefile ## compiler settings CC = gcc OPTIONS = -Wall -g ## directory layout BASEDIR = ../alice SOURCEDIR = $(BASEDIR)/sources OBJECTDIR = $(BASEDIR)/objects DOCSDIR = $(BASEDIR)/documentation ## sources SOURCES = main.c help.c status.c buffer.c device.c error.c insane.c ## objects OBJECTS = main.o help.o status.o buffer.o device.o error.o insane.o ## lists containing paths SOURCES_LIST = $(addprefix, $(SOURCEDIR), $(SOURCE)) OBJECTS_LIST = $(addprefix, $(OBJECTDIR), $(OBJECTS)) ## targets alice: $(OBJECT_LIST) $(CC) $(OPTIONS) -o $@ $(OBJECT_LIST) $(OBJECTS_LIST): alice.h $(CC) $(OPTIONS) -c $(SOURCES_LIST) clean: rm -f $(OBJECTS_LIST) *.core alice; End Makefile ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Makefile and '$(addprefix)'
Hello,
You are correct; I am using GNU make, err, rather, trying to, at least.
Found a typo that fixed part of the problem: $(addprefix, PREFIX, ITEM)
should be $(addprefix PREFIX, ITEM). Note that there is no comma after
'addprefix'.
This particular Makefile seems to be horribly broken. So I think I might
as well start over. Further reading shows that the 'vpath' directive
should be used in this case, or '.PATH' for BSD make.
Thanks for the suggestion at least...

Hello all,
I've fixed my Makefile. Here's a working version, in case it will be of

standalone libraries for SFTP and SMB
Hello, I'm writing a small application that saves files over a network. I'd like to add support for SFTP and SMB. Does anyone know of an independent library for each? I'd like to use libsmbclient from the Samba project, but I haven't found a simple way to build the library without installing all of Samba. OpenSSH includes an SFTP binary, of course, but I'd have to rewrite several complex makefiles to generate it without installing all of OpenSSH. Thought about using the libraries from Gnome-VFS, but they have quite a few dependencies, and are sort of overkill for this project. So yes, I have a couple of options, and yes I'm a little bit lazy. Why reinvent the wheel? ;-) Thanks, -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: ipfw, pf and ALTQ on outbound traffic? (or: "The net is slow when I upload!")
Hi Jubal, Jubal Kessler wrote: Greetings, Is there a general how-to, or a set of coherent instructions, for shaping outbound traffic such that when I upload something over my asymmetric cable-modem pipe, doing so doesn't completely kill my Web browsing or any other attempts to use my Internet connection? (To put it another way: When I max out my upstream, and my upstream is capped lower than my downstream, my downstream becomes useless and I am forced to wait until the upload finishes before I can resume using the downstream. This is a problem, and I'd like to solve it.) I have looked at various ALTQ + pf setups on the Web, but I have one caveat. I use FreeBSD 6.4 on my home gateway, and it is also using the default natd server, which relies on an ipfw divert rule. I don't know if this matters, or if I need to switch from natd to a pf-based NAT setup. Technically you could run both, for a while years back I was using pppd's nat, ipfw for the firewall and dummynet (for kids downloads and stuff or when they reached their monthly quota), and pf for altq on outbound. All working perfectly. Should I use *just* ipfw, or should I switch everything to pf (including NAT services) and go from there?

SSHD errors: will not forward X11 connections
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 6.1 machine at home that I use for remote backups, and sort of an application server for my home network. I occasionally run program with the X display forwarded to my laptop. Simple setup, has always worked great, etc, etc. Just last week, I went to login and run a program and I received the following error (in /var/log/messages): sshd[25306]: error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. Now, not to (intentionally) irritate anyone, but I haven't made any changes in regards to the setup on either end of the connection that I'm aware of. The only change at all that I've recently made, is that I switch shells on the remote box (to zsh). I tried changing back to bash, (my original setup), and the problem persists. The permissions for sshd are: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 168488 May 6 22:58 /usr/sbin/sshd which looks correct to me. I really haven't a clue where to begin with this one, besides a backup and re-install, which is an option, but is also a rather large pain.

Hello,
I've restarted SSHD with "LogLevel DEBUG", which did not produce any new
information; just gives the same error message (in /var/log/messages) as
before. I'm not sure how interested you are in this particular problem,
but I've attached the output from truss. The complete session that I
recorded using truss is as follows:
1. start truss on SSH server "truss -f -p $PID - sshd-log.txt"
2. login via SSH "ssh -X $hostname"
3. attempt to start an X application "rhythmbox &"
4. logout
If you need any more info, or have other suggestions, please let me
know.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, I see that. But it is "complete"; I passed the '-o' flag to truss
to write _all_ output to a file. Just to be sure, I ran it again, and
diff'ed the output files; they are the same. To be clear, I do get a
shell prompt when I login via SSH.
I'm thinking that trying to this out is going to turn into a large waste
of time...

Most likely FreeBSD will run fine on it as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any help would be appreciated. By default, Fetchmail will put your mail wherever $MAIL points to. Usually this is in a file named /var/mail/username, where username is your login name. $ echo $LOGNAME ozzmosis $ echo $MAIL /var/mail/ozzmosis And by default, Mutt will look in the same place, as per muttrc(5): spoolfile Type: path Default: "" If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt can- not find it, you can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will automatically set this variable to the value of the environment variable $MAIL if it is not set. I use Fetchmail, Procmail, SpamAssassin, Mutt and Postfix quite successfully here. :-) Regards Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Where do I find the PERL compatible functions for php
Hi, Installed PHP 5 using the ports collection in preparation for installing phpWebSite (a CMS system). When trying to run the setup program (an index.php) file on the server I get, "*Fatal error*: Call to undefined function preg_match() in * /usr/local/www/apache22/data/phpwebsite_1_3_1/setup/index.php* on line *136" *. I've found from the php.net web site that this is the PERL compatible regular expression stuff. Since it's not there, how would I get it?

How do I catch timezone update and perform needed actions?
OK, so daylight savings just rolled over again. Applications which are already running apparently do not pick up the time zone change. In my installation apache is not regularly restarted, so it's 4 days later and I just noticed that apache has been putting the wrong time stamps on everything, and a script that regularly processes the last 10 minutes of log data based on time stamps on log lines has been coming up empty for days as a result. What I need is a way to stop this happening again in years to come. I thought about submitting a pr asking for some system change such that a user configurable script gets run whenever the time zone changes. Perhaps such a mechanism exists already though? Any pointers? Should this be submitted as a pr?

I was actually able to figure this out last night by going to php.net and searching under the extension categories and found PCRE. I then went to freshports.org and found php5-pcre in /usr/ports/devel/php5-pcre. Once I knew where to find it in the ports, I was able to fix the problem. This also helped me fix the lack of php5-xml and php5-sessions. One question I have for the maintainers of these ports and the ports infrastructure, why are these all listed in different places? /usr/ports/devel/php5-pcre/ /usr/ports/textproc/php5-xml/ /usr/ports/www/php5-session/ Not that these categories are wrong, or don't make sense, but why wouldn't they all be lumped under /usr/ports/lang, or /usr/ports/devel or something like that? Oh, lastly, once a port has been built, how can one redo the build of that port with different options selected?

Yes, but how mail gets from fetchmail to the main spool was not critical. I did not want to complicate the process in my reply.
