Re: FreeBSD support for HP DL180/G5
HP produces pretty good boxes and historically I have been able to get them working without any troubles. However I would say DL180 is a pretty non customizable box. The hardware works perfectly with FreeBSD 7.0. I didnt try it with 6.3, so cant comment on that. However I would say DL380 is a better off. The main advantage of DL3xx boxes are there is a lot of room to play with add-on cards. Also not all the latest and greatest processors are available with DL1xx family of servers. Also make sure that you go for an external RAID controller like 3ware or Areca. I prefer Areca more :-D. The HP RAID controller cant take the beating I give to it.

Local package mirror
Hello, I am trying to get a Network install working on my local network. I have been able to successfully create a NFS export of the installation disk and perform a install from there. The target machines boot over PXE and fetch "stuff" from the NFS. However I am unable to figure out how to get the packages working. I have a list of about 180 packages which needs to be installed. But I am unable to figure out how to go about it. I would like to use precompiled packages, but the CD do not contain the packages I am looking for. One of the option is to mirror the whole package directory from the freebsd mirrors, but that story involves a lot of data transfer and bandwidth. Is there something obvious I am missing? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Re: Local package mirror
Hello Lowell, Thank you so much for the reply. I am trying to do the build once and use prebuilt packages for the target boxes. However the problem I am facing is a bit crude. Lets assume I am trying to build pkgA which has dependencies of pkgB and pkgC. The process I am following is cd /usr/ports/xxx/pkgA ; make package. This makes the prebuilt package in /usr/ports/ packages. However it does not case about pkgB which is a dependency. On a target system when I am trying to pkg_add it, it is rightly complaining about a missing dependency and also saying that it cant find the package in the local repository and aborting. How can this be taken care of?

Release Build
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a customized release build. The idea is to have a NFS export which can be used during installation over the network. My build box is running the same version of BSD(6.2) as the NFS export I intend to create. So instead of mirroring the cvs repository (bandwidth woes :-S) I am using /usr/src. I have built the release using make release CHROOTDIR=/tmp/release BUILDNAME=FreeBSD-custom-6.2 EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src EXTPORTSDIR=/usr/ports WORLD_FLAGS='-j16 -march=prescott' KERNEL_FLAGS='-j16 -march=prescott' -DNOPORTS -DNODOC RELEASETAG=RELENG_6_2 This had completed successfully with my newly built release in /tmp/release/R/. The next thing I did was to export the disc1 folder inside cdrom over NFS and try to boot over the network. I have checked that my netboot works using a CDROM as a NFS export. This time it locks up with Extracting packages. Any clues about where I should start looking??

The interface is connected to a Linux NAT box having one interface, *.*.147.230 and another interface connected to the LAN 172.16.0.1. I am not allowed to play with the NAT box.

RE: Why reccomend Bash shell?
MY personal opinion is, the shell one uses depends a lot on the personal taste of the user.

Vanishing RAID?
Hi folks, This is a strange problem. I own a AMD Athlon 64 bit on a Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboard. This motherboard has an onboard VIA SATA RAID controller. Two SATA hard drives (120G each) are connected in RAID-0. The already has an installation of Windows XP (32 bit edition) and the RAID works properly. It shows a net hard disk space of ~240G as expected. I tried to install FreeBSD adm64 (5.3-R) from the CD. But I am really surprised to see the installation utility detect the two hard disks separately. The strangest part is, the first hard disk shows the windows partitions, however the second hard disk shows empty. To cross check I disconnected the second Hard disk from the controller and windows refused to boot as expected. Could anyone guide me about what is happening out there and how I can make the RAID controller work under FreeBSD amd64? Regards S.

If you want to know how to set up a DNS server then have a look at the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. Regarding the performance issue, you should not notice a performance loss if you don't "publicize" your DNS. Regarding the problem while running X, X is inherently insecure as it does lots of things which could be exploited. Running DNS would not further degrade its security. However make sure your DNS is designed only to server "YOU" and not the entire world if asked for. Is the box running some kind of firewall? Sometimes these types of problems are noticed if the firewall blocks UDP. Regards S.

M$ mouse working?
Hello folks, I have managed to get hold of a New Microsoft Optical Desktop. I have been trying to use its USB interface with Xorg but without any success (This box is running 5.3-Stable, amd64). During boot I can see that both the mouse and the keyboard are detected once and then detached. Again later it had been detected as "Microsoft Optical Desktop". Fair enough. But unfortunately the mouse does not work in console or in Xorg. Moused runs with an argument of -p /dev/ums0 from rc.conf. The keyboard works fine though, or should I call it apparently fine (??). While booting I also get a couple of "Device Busy" messages from kbdcontrol and moused. Also I have noticed that although my rc.conf says cursor="destructive", the cursor still appears as a blinking block block and not an "under_score".

Growing out a second head

Data Limiting
Hello folks, I need your suggestion about limiting the data that can be transferred by each of the hosts on a LAN. Let me explain my setup. The hosts get internet access from a box running as a gateway (NAT). This box can't be touched as my boss won't allow me to do so. I have decided to run a FreeBSD box as a bridge between the NAT and the rest of the hosts of the LAN. Is it possible to limit the amount of Data transferred per month by each of the hosts of the LAN? If yes then how? It would also be nice if I could allow the users to see how much data they have already transferred. Thanks S.

No carrier means, the NIC does not see a switch/hub at the other end. Thus you need to plug in one card into the switch connected to your LAN and the other to the modem. Regards S.

RE: ipfw lost its mind?
Do you block UDP?
I am asking this because, I *used* do a block on all UDP except the DNS port
and had exactly the same problem.

That's a point. If this is the case, i.e. you are using "ip" then tcp/udp
makes no difference. Did you lately do any builds or partial builds of the
source tree?

I am asking thing because I have come across a couple of routers which happily routes packets to static IPs but messes everything up as soon as it is asked to handle DHCP. Also I strongly feel something fishy in the WLAN interface being detected as ndisX instead of wiX. The first thing I would do is use the default driver *even* if some documentation says that it is buggy. Regards, S. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Well, your notion is not 100% correct. There are indeed different teams for
the development of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD but they are extremely
friendly and toleant towards each other and often share lot of code and
modules. For example, NetBSD and FreeBSD share the same USB subsystem.
As far as my understanding goes, each of the different flavours of BSD are
developed with a particular viewset in mind. For example, NetBSD is built no
to squeeze out the last drop of juice from the hardware. Instead it is
designed to be highly portable and literally run on anything you throw at
it. Similarly OpenBSD developers prefers more to swear by security than
anything else. They are entirely different projects although not entirely
independent.

Well there are quite a few things which are mutually exclusive in nature. In
those cases you need to have tradeoffs.

Re: CVSup questions
Jay O'Brien wrote: pkg_version, however, failed. "Unable to open INDEX in pkg_do" I found that pkg_version http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-5 ran ok, so the problem was the missing /usr/ports/INDEX-5. In fact there was no /usr/ports directory. This is because you didn't install the ports collection. IT is recommended either to download the port tarred port collection from the FTP or use cvsup to get the ports collection. I built src-all and ports-all. Now, there is a /usr/ports directory and and lots of directories and files therein. In /usr/ports, I did make fetchindex. It failed. The /usr/ports/Makeindex file was really Makeindex,v. I copied it as Makeindex, and tried make fetchindex again. It showed many errors, finally "fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue". You probably used CVS instead of cvsup. CVS, also known as Concurrent Version System is a mechanism which allows developers to manage codebase on which more than one individual is working simultaneously. When some change is made to a file "foo.bar" managed by a CVS, a file called "foo.bar,v" is created by the CVS. This file contains all the information about what changed and who changed it along with the comments which a developer might have provided during updating the file "foo.bar". Just to add, using the foo.bar,v file along with foo.bar, any version of the file may be created that ever existed. Obviously I need to start over, this time using the CD with the full iso image. I'll do that, but Well, its not always feasible to get hold of the full CD and also its most of the times not required. I generally use either the bootonly CD or the floppies to get a box on the network and pull off everything required over the network. However it is implied that you have a descent connection or you should arrange for some coffee while you install. :-) Best of Luck and welcome to the wonderful world where most of the things are free :-) Best Regards, S. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: cannot boot after updating to 5.3 stable
Your problem is, somehow the mountpoint entries in /etc/fstab have messed up. As a result the system cant find the root file system. At the Mount> Prompt type ? to get a list of all the valid mountpoints. Then manually mount all the mount points. Once you point the system the "root" it will straight go into the single user mode. You can then go into /dev and see what partitions are there. Mount the partitions manually and then open up /etc/fstab in your favorite text editor and make the necessary changes. The nnext boot onwards the box won't complain. BTW, you wont be able to open any text editor until and unless /usr is mounted.

RE: cannot boot after updating to 5.3 stable
You can boot off a live file system (the fixit CD/floppy) and examine the mountpoints which are already available on the hard disk. I have the feeling that the reason why it is not booting is, you are not setting the proper mount point. Regards, S.

Autoinstall
Hello Folks, I am trying to create a custom install CD for a few systems which are exact clones of each other. I am trying to make the CD such that whenever the systems are booted off the CDs, it would be auto partitioned and all the predefined packages would be installed without any user intervention. Anyone can help me by sending me pointers or procedure about how to create it? Thanks S.
