atheros 9285 wifi
Sorry, I hate to come to the list with such a stupid question. I followed up a thread from a couple of months ago regarding this chipset which is not fully supported yet- hardware resetting errors- and I'm trying to work out how to build this driver from head. Unfortunately, when I run the cvs commands suggested it can't seem to find it, and I'm wondering exactly what I'm missing. Network drops all the time, and won't handle any load, so assuming I only have amd64-8.2 base system utilities: CVSROOT=pserver:anon...@anoncvs.tw.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs cvs login cvs co ath cvs co ath_pci And downloading modules list doesn't show ath, if_ath, ath_pci, or anything with ath in it that is remotely related. As I understand it, cvs should be pulling from head by default right? So what am I missing? Or alternatively, how do I fix this wifi card- rebooting every time it drops is a PITA! :) Cheers - Message sent via Atmail Open - http://atmail.org/ _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Here's an approach that works quite well: First add to /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/etc/sup/stable.sup Then create the /etc/sup directory, and in it, create the file /etc/sup/stabe.sup with the following content: *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all The setting RELENG_8 will bring you the latest 8-STABLE. Maybe you should replace the servers with something near your location for better speed. Then, as root: # cd /usr/src # make update and you've got the current sources. > I'm assuming also, then, that I will have to recompile my kernel won't > I? Of course, and kernel and world have to be in sync, so building world is also needed. See the instructions in the Makefile's comment section: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] # 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) # # See src/UPDATING `COMMON ITEMS' for more complete information. This is /usr/src/Makefile of course. So are you saying I can't just grab the ath module? I'd rather stick to release, but I guess if I'm having to rebuild the kernel each update... What are the cons to using stable? I thought stable was still being worked on and shouldn't be used for production? I'm providing services to very green users so I'd like to stay close to reliable as possible- hence my addiction with the release versions. - Message sent via Atmail Open - http://atmail.org/ _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Abstraction leakage burning test DVD+R
Hello, After my dump/restore test failed back in May of 2010[1], I finally got around to burning a test DVD after installing about 2.5 inches of semi-rigid foam under the machine to dampen any local vibration. In designing the test, I was under the mistaken impression that buffer under-runs would reduce the amount of space for writing. Apparently, DVD+R media supports loss-less linking[2]. Test Procedure (using ATAPI interface, rather than the newer ATAPI/CAM interface). The man pages do not imply any major differences for this test. The drive in question is a LG drive with the SuperMulti logo. Test procedure: 1.# mkfifo auxout aux45G 2. In other terminals: # cat auxout | md5 # dd if=aux45G count=2197266 bs=2048 | md5 3. Write test disk: # dd if=/dev/urandom bs=2048 count=2295104 | \ tee auxout aux45G | dd of=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 Error: dd:/dev/acd0: Input/output error 679+0 records in 678+0 records out 1388544 bytes transferred in 80.97 seconds (step 4 not completed due to premature burn failure after 684 blocks, 80 seconds (from 'dd if=aux45G'...) (15743 bytes/sec)) Drive spun up at least twice during this time. 4. Read test (in another term 'cat aux45G | md5') # dd if=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 count=2295104 | tee aux45G | md5 Questions: Currently, the drive is locked. Before forcefully ejecting it and risking an new disk, I want to know what may have gone wrong. Was I expecting too much of FreeBSD on old hardware? The hardware is a Pentium-II desktop machine with 256MB of RAM, with a Promise ATA100 controller card. An extra-long 80-wire cable is in use (to ad4). acd0: DVDR at ata-1-master UDMA33 ad4: 78167MB at ata-2-master UDMA100 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/test Wrote at 4485315 bytes/second: faster than I was expecting (based on linux's slow urandom function), but still slow enough to cause buffer under-runs. So the second question is: do I have to do anything special to enable buffer underrun protection? (with DVD+R's lossless linking feature, no data should be lost.) How important is running ATAPI/CAM? Obviously DVD burning was happening before the release of version 8, as far as I know. If running out of data is supposed to be abstracted away, did I find a bug that only shows up on old hardware or heavy load? (Or possibly drive firmware bug?)

Short of a reboot, how do I restore the initial negotiation settings from when the server was initially powered up? And because I feel like the question is going to be asked...

To make matters more awkward, this package is built from a closed-source binary distribution and thus can't be properly ported, so I can't set it up properly. What I'd like is for management tools to acknowledge its existence, yet ignore it entirely for the purposes of maintenance. For instance, I have already made it a held package under pkgtools.conf, which seems to satisfy portupgrade ok. I'm happy with the package I've made, as it enables me to check what version is installed with pkg_info, I just want it to play nicely with other real ports! joel -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: open office freeze
I too have this problem on my laptop. I was wondering if there is any trick to killing a run away process like open office. I have tried to kill -9 it to no avail and killing its parent process only makes it change its parent process to init. I usually end up restarting but that is sub optimal. There must be some way to kill a process regardless of its state. On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 23:40:21 -0500 (EST), kalin mintchev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hmm.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/*sh and slow build world in FreeBSD 5.1
Hi I've recently installed a FreeBSD 5.1 box, which is working okay aside from a couple of points: 1) I can't get /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*sh to work. I don't have my rc.conf to hand but I've tried many different config options. Is there something I need to do to run these scripts on a vanilla FBSD 5.1 box? The script is definitely *.sh and executable. 2) Building kernels/worlds is MUCH slower than under 4.X. A kernel used to take around an hour; it's taking about 4 under 5.1 (Cyrix 166mhz/64Mb RAM). Is there still a lot of debugging code in 5.1 which could slow things down?

RE: Problem transporting signed emails
Giorgos Keramidas said on Sunday, 09 May 2004 03:34 UTC: > Try base64-encoding the signed message, instead of > piping it through as text/plain. That would mean that only S/MIME capable mail clients could read the resulting email, wouldn't it? When I S/MIME sign an email (such as this one) even the most crufty old mailers can display the message body, without any understanding of MIME generally or S/MIME signatures. PGP operates similarly when signing but not encrypting. The original poster might want to focus on fixing or not using software which corrupts the line endings. Since S/MIME targets SMTP and SMTP (unlike unix) wants CR LF line endings, my guess is when you have a problem CR LF is being translated to CR CR LF or CR LF CR LF.

Problem with Kingmax USB 2.0 Flash Drive on 4.10-R
I just tried a new Kingmax USB 2.0 256 MB Flash Drive on a box with FreeBSD-4.10-RELEASE and the machine locked solid to the extent that it only responded to the power switch. I tried it several times, tailing /var/log/messages while I did it, but each time I inserted the device, everything stopped. And removing the drive did not help either.

Dump/Tape blocks question
I have a question about dump and tape blocks. When I do backups, dump tells me it uses a certain number of blocks for that particular backup. I explicitly set my block size to 65K when I do a dump. When I read the SCSI or hardware block location on the tape after the dump, it's nowhere near the same number as what dump said it used. How big is each block? I'd like to know about where on the tape I am when I do an 'mt rdhpos' command (but I don't know how to determine the reported block size), and I'd like to be able to calculate how much data was written for each backup based on the number of blocks dumped (I assume these blocks are the size I specify on the dump command line). In fact, how can I calculate how many blocks my tape can hold? (i.e. What is the biggest block number an 'mt rdhpos' or 'mt rdspos' will report for my tape?) Of course, an obvious solution to the last question is to write enough data to fill the tape and then check the output of 'mt rdhpos'. I'd rather not spend the hours needed and the unneeded wear on the tape to figure that out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to create mtree files?
Hi, I would like to use the mtree utility to confirm no changes have occurred to system files since 'make installworld', similar to that possible with 'mtree -f /cdrom/5.4-RELEASE/base/base.mtree' on a release installation. This would also give the added advantage of being able to determine the current buildlevel of an installed system, I believe. Is it possible/easy to create new mtree files after the buildworld or installworld process? I've looked at the Release Engineering docs but it seems more than what I'd like to do.

Thanks - I misinterpreted what the '-c' flag does, but after running your example it all makes sense now. To wrap this up for me, is mtree the way to maintain a record of at what level a particular build was performed?

Android usb tethering

One has to remember that USB is just the bus just like pci, microchannel, etc. Even though you have access to the device on the bus you still need a driver for that specific ethernet chip your kernel. This is analogous to having a video card on the pci bus, you still need for the kernel to drive the specific chipset of the card regardless if it can see it on the bus. I have an HTC Nexus One so I may fiddle with this and see if I can help some more here. I am wishful that at least we can get a tty just like other gsm modems and from there it's pretty straight forward using wvdial or alike. If it's only the Ethernet over usb like you mention, then the chipset driver would have to be translated/ported to the FBSD kernel, if it's not already there ? Ok. But I will clarify here: The HTC Android systems uses an "Internet Sharing" feature- essentially Google has coded in routing/nat system into the base OS (probably moding the leftover code already in the linux base), and is trying to allow similar using bluetooth and wifi at a later date as well. The RNDIS is a M$ system that allows sharing anything over USB (network, files, etc- but all essentially operated as network anyway), something they've been playing with for some years- I was looking for an A-A USB cable since around 2003 or so to quickly transfer files when needed. Apparently M$ opened the specs a year or two ago and everyone's jumped on to use it. So where Google started was to start allowing the use of the router/nat via RNDIS USB - somehow this was easier than allowing bluetooth or wifi (probably security and available hardware features). So yes, apparently the phone hooks up as a usb mass storage device, uploads a file to the computer, and disconnects and becomes a network device.

M$ were apparently talking about using it as a common medium for device comms so it could get hairy without it (much as I hate admitting that). I fiddled with cdce before, but didn't have any success- but that I think was more due to the fact I didn't know how to generate the devs file.

ORBit not upgrading
I have a wee problem... :) I've been naughty because I've been
working on other things and I was going to simply rebuild this m/c
when I got the chance anyway. Unfortunately I've run into a problem
where I need to upgrade because I've found a bug in php 5.3.2 which is
killing me. So I've run an upgrade at a rather late date, and
alswell... except ORBit is not behaving.
I've checked UPDATING and looked into the Makefiles, but for the life
of me I can't fathom what the hell is going on. It is running thru the
checks and stalls completely here:
...
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o root
-g wheel
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether gmake sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gcc... cc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for strerror in -lcposix... no
checking for gcc... (cached) cc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cpp
checking if C preprocessor likes IDL... yes
checking if C preprocessor can read from stdin... yes
checking how to ignore standard include path...
Huh? Any reason it'd be looking for a non standard include path?
Whats the hold up?
Now this is ORBit-0.5.17_5, and I don't think a manual reinstall
would make much difference. But WTF? Any Ideas?
As for the php error: anybody have trouble with preg_match and the
subject string being a variable? If I manually put the contents in as
the subject it works, but it won't read out of the variable. I'm
actually exec something and the variable holds the output (and yes, it
does work, and the variable holds the info right- just ran a print on
the variable) but the stupid thing is sending me bald and I can't
register a bug before an upgrade.
Cheers

make hierarchy
Hello all, the other day i tried to build a jail, which didn`t work out. I had started by updating all sources with 'releng=4'. this is what i did. D=/here/is/the/jail cd /usr/src make hierarchy DESTDIR=$D make obj make depend make all everything went well up till 'make all'. it gave errorcode 1. it couldn`t set my max.writespeed with burn.c if i recall correctly. So i tried it with downloading all sources with releng=4_7. Did all the previous steps and it gave me another errorcode 1. So i thought it would be the best thing to get the sources with releng=4_7_0 and do it all over again. When i got to make hierarchy DESTDIR=$D it said: don`t know how to make hierarchy. stopped. I's really like to try and build a jail, but i`m kinda stuck in the process. Does anyone know what to do or how to solve this?

make install a port, but with a package?
Hi, I have a bad feeling that this has been asked already, and not that long ago, but I can't find it in my mailbox. Is there a variable I can set so that running 'make install' in a port directory will cause it to download the package, if available, and install that instead of building from source? In other words, the equivalent of 'portupgrade -NPP'. I have looked at the .mk files and nothing in there seems to do that. This is for the situation where portupgrade isn't installed yet, and I'd like to install it quickly from packages so I don't have to wait for Ruby to build. Sure, I could do it with pkg_add or sysinstall but it would be neat to be able to do everything from the ports tree. thanks, joel _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

However, given that you are willing to accept (risk?) 5 attempts at a legitimate account I don't believe there would be any greater risk in allowing the same for invalid accounts also, given that the likelihood of gaining access to those is actually less - and it would make your script simpler, too, whilst preventing the (albeit, unlikely in your situation) possibility of a DoS to a valid user. To be honest, reversing your logic somewhat wrt valid/invalid accounts and 1/5 attempts could have merit also.

Re: making packages
Hi Chris, > > The pkg_create man page advises to ``use a front-end tool for the job > rather than muddling through it yourself'' Did you receive any response to this particular question? I have only lately noticed this anomaly myself, and wished that it read "... a front-end tool, such as xxx ...". In your situation, however, I'd recommend a) using portupgrade -pf for already-installed packages or b) portinstall -p and then pkg_deinstall, for packages you don't wish to install locally. I've noticed also (accidentally, when I forgot to unset it after a jail installation) that portinstall appears to respect DESTDIR in the environment, so you could set this variable before performing a temporary installation too (but YMMV, of course). cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst| Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

increasing username length via MAXLOGNAME and UT_NAMESIZE
Hi, I have read the adduser man page which states the following: "You can change UT_NAMESIZE in and recompile the world; people have done this and it works, but you will have problems with any precompiled programs, or source that assumes the 8-character name limit and NIS." I have had a hard time finding examples of anyone who has actually increased the username length to something like 64+ characters though. I am wondering what if anything (besides NIS) might break on a freeBSD box running virtual domains with postfix/courier/apache/squirrelmail/webmin/etc. Has anyone actually done this and if so have you had any problems?

ffs_clusteralloc
Hi there, I have a 5.2 box which I use as a general purpose server in my house. It has been a very good box up to now. I noticed that it wasn't responding last night so I took a look at it and there was a message which read: "panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch". Not thinking much of it other than "Oh an error, oh well ". I rebooted it. Now it refuses to boot. As soon as the login prompt appears I receive the same panic and the machine reboots. I did a google on it and found that the problem might be ram or hard disk. I ran memtest over the system a few times but that didn't yield any results. I then booted off an old 5.0 live disk I had and pulled off any files which I needed. So I haven't lost any critical data but I am wondering what to do next. The system was very stable off the live disk with no errors so it makes me wonder if it really is the disk which has gone. I was thinking about trying a binary upgrade to 5.3 to see if that fixed the problem since there is no way to keep the system stable enough to buildworld/kernel. The only change made in the last week was the fetch patch.

portupgrade confusing '-P' and '-p'?
Hi, I'm in the middle of configuring a repeatable jail installation with some ports - in a nutshell, I want to install from locally built packages, but if not available locally I want to build the port myself _and_ create a package for future repetition. To prevent remote fetching, I set the PKG_FETCH variable to /bin/false as recommended. Here's the part I found curious: # portinstall -N -P -p x11-toolkits/gtk20 [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 63 packages found (-0 +0) done] ---> Checking for the latest package of 'x11-toolkits/gtk20' ---> Found a package of 'x11-toolkits/gtk20': /usr/ports/packages/All/gtk-2.8.18_1.tbz (gtk-2.8.18_1) ---> Fetching the package(s) for 'gtk-2.8.19' (x11-toolkits/gtk20) [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 63 packages found (-0 +0) done] ---> Fetching gtk-2.8.19 ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 127 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/All/gtk-2.8.19.tbz ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 127 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/All/gtk-2.8.19.tgz ** Failed to fetch gtk-2.8.19 ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! gtk-2.8.19(fetch error) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed ---> Fetching the latest package(s) for 'gtk20' (x11-toolkits/gtk20) ---> Fetching gtk20 ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 127 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest/gtk20.tbz ** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 127 ** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest/gtk20.tgz ** Failed to fetch gtk20 ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! gtk20@(fetch error) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed ---> Located a package version 2.8.18_1 (/usr/ports/packages/All/gtk-2.8.18_1.tbz) ---> Using it anyway although it is not the latest version (2.8.19), since -PP/--use-packages-only is specified ---> Installing 'gtk-2.8.18_1' from a package ---> Installing the new version via the package pkg_add: warning: package 'gtk-2.8.18_1' requires 'libxml2-2.6.24_1', but 'libxml2-2.6.26' is installed Note from the above that portinstall is presuming that -PP was used and is not building the port. I can omit the '-p' and this stops the occurrence of this error, but then I don't get a package creation and that means I'll have to build this port from scratch every time I want to install it.

Xorg manual configuration
I haven't got any response to Xorg in a jail, so I'll try and wing it... That said, I do need some help trying to figure out how to: 1. Determine exactly what Xorg is probing for (what details it needs, etc). So far I think I need memory address ranges, chipsets, etc. Found a lot of stuff in the log, but I'm not sure if its enough or all I need. 2. Then take the details and set them out in the Xorg.conf. (VideoAdaptor Section?) What I'm finding really annoying is why the manual configuration systems are completely unavailable as of now. I remember my first crack at getting X running on a 4.3 system, and having to go through screens of configurations for the monitor, card, inputs, etc. Ok, its cool now that we don't need to do this anymore, but it does kill things if you're trying this in a system which is restrictive. >From all the info I gathered so far /dev/io is used for the probing. IF the >details are entered manually, then surely this would mean it doesn't need io. >I'm still not sure what to do about /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System
This book was printed in August 2004. This predates FBSD 5, and I know there were some significant changes between the 4.x and 5.x branches. We've progressed further and are now into version 7. How well does this book apply to more current versions of FreeBSD, such as version 7? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Has anyone on the list read "Building a Server with FreeBSD 7: A Modular Approach"? The description on bookpool.com makes it sound a little basic/superficial, covering topics such as how to install FreeBSD and how to install/configure programs via the ports. I'm already very familiar with these topics; does anyone know if this book covers more advanced topics or details like the nitty-gritty of configuing sendmail, apache, samba, NFS, etc? And what about "Absolute FreeBSD"? It's updated for FreeBSD 7, so I know it's current. Is it a "good book"? Is it worth the read? How valuable is its content? (I know I'm asking some very subjective questions, but if I'm going to spend hundreds of $$$ to build my library in this area, I'd like at least a couple of opinions about the books I buy.) > So far .. there are only three books I would have bought but I didn't because > I thought the situation could improve ... those are: "The Design and > Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System", "BSD Hacks" and "The FreeBSD > HandBook"... same reason for all of them .. too old by now (although I think > I'll buy "BSD Hacks" anyways .. I just can't resist buying Lavigne books :( ) Personally, I don't think I'd ever buy "The FreeBSD Handbook". It's a really good resource, but as long as it's actively updated electronically it's too dynamic to buy a hardcopy. I'd much rather read it online where I can get the latest revisions.

Thank you all for your input. I'm studying up on OS design and implementation for my own personal edification, so I started reading my old college Tanenbaum text "Modern Operating Systems".

Switching to IPv6?
I've been considering switching my home network to IPv6. I have a computer acting as a firewall sitting between my ISP and my three LANs at home. Of course, my DSL provider gives me an IPv4 address, and everything I want to access on the Internet is on an IPv4 network. The whole point is to learn to set up IPv6, to play with IPv6, and to become familiar with it, so when the day comes that the world actually uses IPv6 (ha ha) I'm ready, armed with knowledge. But the whole idea will go to pot if my firewall can't let my IPv6 networks access my IPv4 Internet connection. Does FreeBSD 7 provide such facilities as to allow access to an IPv4 network from an IPv6 network? What will my Vista, XP, and FreeBSD clients do if they only have an IPv6 address and I try to go to google.com or freebsd.org which are on IPv4 networks? _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Ports and 64-bit Processors
FreeBSD has supported 64-bit architectures for a while now... Alpha and UltraSPARC come to mind--even if Alpha is no longer a Tier 1 architecture. I'm surprised to hear so many of you say that certain ports are broken on AMD64. I would think if they worked on other 64-bit processors they'd work on AMD64. Were the ports that are broken on AMD64 also broken on those other architectures, too? _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

SCSI disks spinning down
I have a server, running FBSD 5.4, that has six SCSI disks in it. It's primarily a fileserver for IT, and it's not access frequently, but it does get some use. Most of the time--any time it's been sitting for a while and not accessed recently--reading from the drive takes a few seconds. I presume this is because the drive has spun down due to it's idleness and the delay is because the drive is spinning up again when I access it. Is there a way to disable this? The drives are IBM Deskstar drives (DPSS-318350M), and I don't know if this feature is a feature in the SCSI subsystem somewhere on FBSD or a jumper setting on the drive or what. I'm not even sure I can turn it off so the drives don't spin down. Any ideas, anyone?

fetchmail in "system-wide mode"
Hello, On the Internet there are some sites where they say to start fetchmail(1) in "system-wide" should put these two options in rc.conf(5) : fetchmail_enable="YES" fetchmail_polling_interval="60" Although the second is optional and at first has little to do with this question because this question is addressed rather to the first option. I searched in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and rc.conf(5) manual and find no reference to these two options. I have them in my rc.conf(5) but fetchmail(1) does not start automatically. In /usr/src/UPDATING not found any reference to it. Which is the correct way to start fetchmail(1) in "system-wide"? Thanks. _______ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: NFS server fail-over - how do you do it?
Couple of issues regarding failover. 1) If system B is going to take over system a's IP, it also needs to take it's MAC address. Else you have to wait for an ARP timeout. Some systems (all?) perform a gratuitous arp-reply when an if comes up. But some other systems ignore this if they already have an arp entry, or if they weren't asking for the arp in the first place. 2) The failed system must be made to stay failed, else there is hell to pay when it comes back and finds another system in the bed, er, server room! In a main/standby scenario, this is doable with some simple scripting. Any more than that and you will need some dynamic voting algortihm support. A nice thing about *real* computers is that they have an RS-232 console port and can be made to stay down with a BRK. I believe the PC weasel will allow that, as well. A remote power controller can also serve this need. 3) One argument for run-levels in init was to keep a system at rl 2 monitoring the primary, then go to rl 3 if the primary failes. This, of course, can be done with flat rc.d, and entirely without it, as well. But it made the primary/hotstandby scheme trivial to set-up. Regardless of where you put it and what all it calls, make a single script that can be run from your monitor app once it decides the master is gone. It ensures the primary is dead, starts the server processes, and screams like the dickens for help. 4) NFS may be stateless, but NFS over TCP is common nowadays, and it isn't. Though, I believe the automounter can help with that. 5) NAS serving SAN is nice if you can afford all that fiber term gear. But you can do the same with a scsi raid array that has two host ports. You don't even need the second host port if you can change the scsi initiator ID of one of the hosts. Just keep your cable lengths as short as you can. 6) It is generally cheaper to buy than build, unless you have done it before. The devil is in the details. I've done it before, and I'll buy every time. Given that, a plug for some friends of mine that have made this work in the pri/hs mode. www.nssolutions.com Cheers! -sam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Replicating a Production Machine for Testing
Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a situation. I have a production system that is to remain up, it acts as a web server for several virtual domains, and has a web based interface written in perl which integrates among other things Apache with many modules, qMail (mySQL Powered), and BIND DNS. The versions of Apache and PHP are getting a little out of date so I would like to make a replicated version of the server here in order to test out upgrading the system to make sure I don't run in to a hitch on the production system. I have the list of ports installed in /var/db/pkg, but I don't think just installing them would provide a real replication of the system, is there any way I can just put the system files ( without the hosted sites for space sake ) in a tarball and replicate the installation? Is there anyone that might be able to fill me in on the best process I should use to get a perfectly (or close enough) replication of the production system? Thanks!

Hey Gert, I use tcsh and have these variables in my .cshrc: setenv CLICOLOR_FORCE 1 set prompt = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%b%~%# ' set autolist = ambigous It hasn't got a lot of colours but enough to distingiush the files from folders etc... And autocompletion and hints.

Re: Darwin on FreeBSD
Hi Rib, What exactly do you mean by Darwin? Darwin is an operating system like FreeBSD... I think you mean the Darwin Streaming Server. Here's a URL that might help you: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~charman/DSS_FreeBSD/ Arno On 30 jan 2005, at 20:34, Technical Director wrote: Hello everyone, I have successfully installed Darwin on freebsd using the ports tree, thank you [EMAIL PROTECTED] My question is in regards of the whole operation, has anyone successfully got this application to operate behind a natd firewall running only through port 80? I believe I followed the installation and setup but have the following if I try to connect through a natd/firewalled port 80: Connection via browser with quicktime plugin brings up the quicktime control (using the tags as described in the manual) and a "Connecting" message. Then after a bit it outputs a "10060: Disconnected" message. Yet when I connect via a browser not through the natd/firewall port 80 it works. Checking sockstat -c on the darwin server shows an active connection on the 554 port from the quicktime client machine... From what I understood of the admin document: Ports used to communicate with client: 554, 7070 TCP -or- 80 TCP Ports used to send media through: 6970-6999 UDP, -or- 80 TCP Ports server will stream through: 554 RTSP 7070 TCP -or- 80 TCP I did use the MakeRefMovie (Win32 & Apple Only) application to create a 'reference' movie to the server. It still doesn't work. Has anyone had success making Darwin use port 80 'only' for streaming media out to the world from machines behind natd/firewall situations? Or is the only option to open up 554 or 7070? Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Re: ssh default security risc
If they can hack the root they can defenatly hack a user account too. So i dont see any meaning of disabeling it. If they can hack root they own the system and can do what they like. By disabling root you remove the option of this happening. Instead they have to try and compromise a user account. Once they compromise the user account, they then have to gain root access (assuming that is their goal). Why bother with the hassle. There are plenty of machines out there already with weak root passwords. If a hacker really wants into your system he will find a way. Chris True but the point is without the ssh root enabled there is nothing you can do about it to stop them if they change your user password You really need to look at it from a different point of view... If you want to prevent people from breaking into your car you lock the doors. Don't say "If they break the locks and get in, I can't use my key anymore. So keep the doors unlocked", do you?

My point of view... Arno I like this point of view game :) How many locks are there in your car, lets say ever user has a lock the trunk the left and the right door. Now imagine your little kit waving to you behind the windows. You want to kick his butt because he broke your brand new television set. You cant go in your car because he pushes on the lock button so you can't turn the key. To make things wurse your kid is trying to play with the root engine but he can't get the engine to start. Enabeling the ssh root is like having the remote car key that opens every door at once so you can get in to kick his butt :) No it is not! It is like giving the key to the burglar who's after your car stereo. If he'd only know you (have your account) then he would only be able to trace your car, look at it, look what's inside but not change anything. He would still need to go after the keys... Really it is the opposite of what you're thinking. If root login is disabled and an intruder hacks a user account he can only change things as much as you allow the account to make changes to the system. The intruder still needs to go for the root password after this, if he's after total control of your comp. When the intruder changes your password but doesn't get root access you can't get in but your system is far less damaged. If root login is enabled then the intruder has half the work to get full access to the system. And you can't access the comp at all after that has happened.

Is this what you mean?:
find ./ -name '*stuff'|sed 's|\.[^/]*/[^/]*/||g'
thanks for the advice. No, this doesn't do what I want.
If I have a directory path /stuff/stuff/more/stuff/more/and/more
that is n-levels deep, I want to be able to cut off the first two
levels and print the from 2 to the Nth level.
So how about cut?
find ./ -name '*stuff'| cut -d/ -f4-

or if you insist on using awk:
find ./ -name '*stuff' | awk '{for (i=3; i<=NF; i++) printf " %s", $i;
printf "\n" }'
