  need help setting up webpage for xyxbuilders.us domain..         


Author: Gary Kline
Date: Jan 29, 2010 04:10

can anybody help me set up my /etc/namedb/ files and mt
/usr/local/etc/apache22/ files to help a builder friend? since
this probably isn't exactly on-topic, this might best be handled
offlist from now on.

nutshell is that this gentleman has saved me, my house, my family
umpteen times and i'm waaay overdue to return the favors. i have no
idea how much work having a web page will get him, but it's
certainly worth a try.

thanks, guys,

gary

I did go ahead and buy one of these boards and can now report that
FreeBSD-8.0/i386 boots and runs on it with no apparent problems. A user
in the forums reports similar success running 8.0/amd64.

Extremely quiet and inexpensive board. At around $80, it is one-third
the cost of the Supermicro boards.

  Problem with sftp server, static linking, pam and nss_ldap.         


Author: Piotr Buliński
Date: Jan 28, 2010 23:04

Hello,

recently we moved our users database to LDAP server, but after that sftp stops working on our students server.

We use:
- OpenLDAP 2.4.21
- nss_ldap-1.265_3
- pam_ldap-1.8.5
- FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT amd64

When I use sftp, it drops the connection:

{volt}-{~}%% sftp localhost
Connecting to localhost...
Connection closed
{volt}-{~}%%

After short investigation, I've found that problem is in /usr/libexec/sftp-server program (which is our default subsystem in sshd):

{volt}-{~}%% /usr/libexec/sftp-server
No user found for uid 5567
{volt}-{~}%%

what was quite weird, because sshd works perfectly with users from LDAP server (so I assume that PAM is configured correctly).

After that, I've tried to make a simple test with program below:

  RE: Is their Automatic command to send a JPG file using FTP         


Author: Dixit, Viraj
Date: Jan 28, 2010 22:39

Hi,

The script that I have setup does not work if I run the .netrc file. I
ran the commands in ftp -v mode and it did not like machine command, did
not like passwd or pwd etc.

machine 0.0.0.0

login VJ

password 123456

macdef init

binary

lcd /ftp

cd /var/temp

get newemp.db

quit

If I use this command in .netrc it connects to the server but it does
not connect using my login name VJ, it points to some other name.

ftp 0.0.0.0 <ftp://ftp 0.0.0.0/>

.netrc simply doesn't work in FreeBSD.

Is their someone who has a working script. Thanks!!!

Or merge your local changes *into* the "local.mc" file. For example, I
have several dozen lines of local customizations in "HOSTNAME.mc" here:

root@kobe:/etc/mail# diff -u freebsd.mc kobe.mc | diffstat -p1
kobe.mc | 167

I would be very annoyed if updating freebsd.mc clobbered these :-)

  clarification on polkit upgrade         


Author: Chad Perrin
Date: Jan 28, 2010 21:58

In /usr/ports/UPDATING, I see this:

Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit,
and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order. First,
upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6. Then, force a rebuild and reinstall
of sysutils/polkit. If you do not do this, applications which depend
on polkitd will fail.

It's a little unclear about the requirement for the polkit upgrade. Does
this mean that `portupgrade polkit` is enough after upgrading policy kit,
or not? If not -- what's needed? Would a deinstall/reinstall be needed?
Is `portupgrade -f` good?

I've already used `portupgrade polkit` here, and I haven't seen any
problems yet, but then I haven't restarted anything that relies on polkit
for a while either.

  Patch         


Author: Michael Krafczyk
Date: Jan 28, 2010 21:18

Hi,

I am new to FreeBSD and recently created a FreeNAS server. I had a problem
with GEOM: GPT rejected. I have Award Bios and found this fix
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115406. I, though, do not know
how to apply the patch. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

  Anyone know what this CAM error at boot means? CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR         


Author: ericr
Date: Jan 28, 2010 20:36

I've got an Adaptec 2200S RAID controller in a server running 5.3-RELEASE
with a GENERIC kernel. (We're going to upgrade Real Soon Now, but I've got
to keep things going until then.)

It's been running fine for years, but a few days ago, it started taking
about 3 times longer than usual to boot.

The error is:

(probe0:aacp0:0:0:0): Data Overrun
(probe0:aacp0:0:0:0): Retrying Command

followed a bit later by:

(probe30:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Request completed with CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR
(probe30:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying Command

The system seems to run ok once it boots, but taking forever to boot
concerns me. Anyone know what this error means, and what I should do about
it?

Here's the dmesg from boot -v showing the controller, and the above CAM
related error:

...
aac0: mem 0xf8000000-0xfbffffff irq 48 at device
1.0 on pci3
aac0: [FAST]
aac0: Unknown processor 100MHz, 48MB cache memory, optional battery not
installed
