Dear FreeBSD! On my home machine I`ve tried to compile custom kernel for 5_0 release. In a script commented out all scsi, raid, ethernet, nfs options, I had not. So I`ve included atapicam options and "device pcm" for AC97 sound chip. After all, result was an error: linking kernel if.o: In function 'if_setlladdr': if.o(.text+0x2725): undefined reference to 'arp_ifinit'

Hello! Attempt to scan a network with any method except plain ping results in an error: truss nmap -sT -p 21 '172.19.17.*' [...] sendto(0x4,0x8094200,0,0x0,{ AF_INET 172.19.17.0:0 },0x10) ERR#49 'Can't assign requested address' [...] What's strange that man on send(2) doesn't state that EADDRNOTAVAIL can ever be returned from sendto(). Quick look at nmap's site

Dear list! I have a little problem, trying to enable logging of deny rule. I have enabled it via kernel: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=3 It is ipfw2. After that, my inten- tion was to use syslogd and !ipfw *.* /var/log/ipfw.log and newsyslog with /var/log/ipfw.log 600 3 100 * J In rc.conf I have firewall_enable="YES"

Dear FreeBSD! I would like to use custom rules file with ipfw2. My computer goes to the net via dial-up modem and kernel ppp type. Since I don't have experience with dinamic rules, but want to, reading tutorials stranded me somewhere in the middle. In this moment I need recall of known links to docs about topic. Provider gives new address every time when connected. One machine. Via ppp...

Dear all! Last evening I've noticed that my 5.2 box had strange result about nmap search. One port is randomly open when I look from user account. From root everything looks as expected. The comp is most time out of internet. The last thing was adding "expect" package. I am not paniced, could be hiting... Or something in "expect" package... It is random port from 53000 to

Dear folks! Using f-prot, I've found "unix/abyoos.a" in one pure ascii file. Simple googling didn't reveal any special info about. Is it something I should be aware of? What parts of it could I find on the system, if any? Best regards Zoran

Dear list! I'd like to know if some- one has experience with system running no mta (aka sendmail). I have single comp, not server, not lan. Yes! Sendmail is nice, but it is too big for simple tasks I have for it. My intention is to use apps small as possible. This letter gone from mutt directly to ssmtp, that processed it to my isp. (Setting option for sendmail as

Hi all, Any one know how to increase the Linux limit? I am hiting a wall on 200 calls playing files at the same time. From Asterisk console, I am getting messages like Sip_request_call: Unable to build sip pvt data for "asterisk1/700" Too many open files Is this a limit of my Linux box? I only have 512MB of ram. Will increase it to 2G help or I have to change some configuration in

It might sound stupid, but I'd like to know if there's any difference. Are those 3 line the same? WITH_KMS=YES WITH_KMS="YES" WITH_KMS=yes Best regards Zoran

Dear all! I'd like to know if something changed for pgp263i on amd64. In ports, archs recommended are i386 and alpha. Has someone used gpg-idea port (with idea and rsa) to circum- vent pgp <-> gpg missmetch? Best regards Zoran

I'm quite happy to see 9.1 out and want to ask polite and benevolent question: regarding times on the site, are iso and img files the same as 2 weeks ago? To remind noble readers. I installed on my computers what was release at that time and got it up and working perfectly. In other words, is it the same file? Best regards and happy new year Zoran

After several years I replaced desktop and laptop and wait for release to start fresh. On desktop I put nvidia gt520. Forums say nvidia prop driver dislikes agp op- tion in kernel and recommend removing it. Laptop is sandy bridge with hd3000 integrated. Would I trigger something if I delete agp from conf file in both cases? Another issue bothers me also. RC version of amdtemp failed to read

I am running Irix 6.5.12 and samba version 2.2.1 and am getting the following error message when trying to log onto a windows machine that has a samba mount mapped. System error 71 has occurred. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept. Any help would be appreciated as I am a newbie where samba

Dear list! I've tried to compile tripwire-2.3.1-2 port on my 5.2 release. Two diffe- rent tarballs have failed with message, that port was broken, all in one sentence. No any details. Well! Makefile has so- mething like: .if ${OSVERSION} >= 500000 BROKEN= "Fails to build inder 5.X" .endif One more: USE_GMAKE= yes Has someone compiled it successfully? Is it for a good

Hi! Im running FreeBSD 9.1 on a AMD APU machine: CPU: AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (1699.36-MHz K8-class CPU) FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p1 #0 r243379M: Fri Mar 8 23:16:44 CET 2013 root at pean.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC I try to use amdtemp(4) to read the temperature of this CPU but it doesnt seem to detect the CPU. The manual states that it should support K8-class. The

Hi all! After installing 5.3 I've noticed some change in firewall logging. Prior (on 5.2) rules gave me what I needed: trimed to 3 of the same connection. Every new connection on the same rule gave new log line up to 3. I have in kernel: FIREWALL FIREWALL_VERBOSE FIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=3 Now, all connections on the same rule are trimed to 3. Is it possib- le on 5.3 to have all

After updating to 9.2 release and upgrading ports, I had to compile nvidia driver 319.32. Finally, have graphics up. One file shows out of the blue, when- ever I run startx, spite I remove it regurarly. The size is 1024. Man for rand mentions it. I cannot see what openssl has to do with X at the moment. Amd64. I might send the file if someone wants to take a closer look at it. Best regards

Due to trip to make, I will have to wait few days to upgrade my nodes to 9.2 release. But, I'd like to learn the easiest way to handle ports. Thanks to Matthew Seaman, I will try out txz repos, when I find the correct address for that. Otherwise, I assume portmaster might do the job equally well. Reading manual, I guess flags like -P -a or -PP -a are made to fit? Next to think would be to

Hello, I am setting up a new (remote) server. I initially installed 9.2 RC4 amd64 because that's what the data center put in the drive for me. Shortly thereafter I downloaded 9.2-STABLE sources and compiled world and a generic kernel. While doing so the system became unreachable by SSH The SSH sessions appeared to connect but there was never any data returned. I could telnet to port 22
