Mozilla simply changed names to Seamonkey and is still alive and
kicking.

Thunderbird also has this ability.

I'm currently using knode from kde ports...

at least in Poland there are free. and for my clients i have nntpcache'd
news from Gda?sk University.

Actually, in most parts of the world, news are still freely available
with many ISPs (you may have to ask them explicitly), except for
alt.binaries.* which are quite bandwidth intensive.

i'm connected to university network (commercially, not as a student ;), i
have all their service included in price. alt.binaries.* too, don't know
if all of them as i don't use it.


Your typical small ISP would rather save the bandwidth it takes to
transfer all articles, esp. if only a fraction of them are accessed

nntpcache is exactly for this. it's like squid, just for nntp

it's worth even with 1 nntp user, and it takes 5 minutes to configure.

Your typical small ISP would rather save the bandwidth it takes to
transfer all articles, esp. if only a fraction of them are accessed by
their customers. It simply doesn't make sense for them to host
binaries, unlike dedicated news providers which have enough customers
to justify the expenses.

That's essentially correct, but it's worth noting that an ISP can
provide a news feed to their customers through one of the major news
providers. It wasn't unusual not so long ago for dialup ISPs to offer a
full alt.binaries hierachy this way.

As for client suggestions, that typically depends on whether the person
is interested in text, binaries, or both. Most clients are capable of
doing both, of course. That's not to say that all do both equally well.
Right tool for the job and all that.

For text, I'd recommend slrn. Gary is already using mutt, so I'd
suggest he go that route, or alternatively, try mutt's nntp patch and
use mutt instead. Works perfectly well and it's what I use. If reading
news is going to be a regular thing, then setting up a local server of
some sort (to pull down feeds from one or more providers) may be a
useful addition, though slrn does does provide a companion program to do
something similar.

Binary groups, on the other hand, are generally best handled by a GUI
client. If you know what you're doing, command-line programs like nget,
nzbperl, etc. may be preferrable or useful additions.

The thing to keep in mind is that irrespective of what client one is
using, it's the quality of the feed that matters most. At least for
non-casual use. For a top notch feed, expect to pay out a few extra
bucks per month. That typically gives you a host of other benefits that
would include a complete hierarchy, high retention levels, unrestricted
download speeds, web access, multiple connections, multiple servers,
NNTPS, HTTPs, Clarinet, and a direct line to customer support.

If you think you are or can get most of those for free (from your ISP,
for example), you haven't looked carefully enough. Still, I think a
subscription to a pay provider is worth every cent, even for text
groups.

I have a process that automates the creation of a master FreeBSD image that
we clone onto mulitple machines. In the latest version of this image I am
seeing the warnings:

warning: KLD '/boot/kernel/linprocfs.ko' is newer than the linker.hints

error in earlier versions of the image creation process.

Hi all,

I'm asking myself about a problem I have with a Postgresql server on
FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE.

The server is overload, the disk is 100% busy with 250 write operations
per second and a throuput of 6MB/s.
My first idea is because of mass random access/write on the disk. But I
also see
the server can make 20k page fault per second.

So, did you think I really have a disk contention or this high number of
page fault can be a problem (and if it can, how to resolve it).

Thanks,

Hi all,

I am using FBSD 7.1R on PC. But yesterday (8 Mar 09) my hard disk was
physically broken. My machine is very old anyway. So I want to buy a
new laptop (notebook). I have some questions.

1. Previously I use ADSL but now I go back to 56k serial modem. The
problem is new laptops do not provide COM port (/dev/cuad?). I must
use internal modem built with the laptop. I'm not sure whether this
internal modem can be found by FBSD 7.1R or not. If not, how to do?
(Sorry I never used laptop.)

2. Previously, I used LILO boot manager (from Linux) for selecting
FBSD, Linux or WinXP. But nowadays most of the time I use only FBSD
and don't use Linux at all. So I don't want to waste the space
installing linux on my new laptop. But I use XP occassionally. I need
to know whether FBSD boot manager can select and boot XP or not? How
to do it? I didn't find it in the handbook.
Note that I know grub. But I really want to know the way, the system
provide. Because I have a long story of this problem. Once (5 years
ago) I installed FBSD success but without caution. I rebooted then I
could not run the freshly installed system. Because there was no
options for selecting the new system. :-( That time I ended up with
LILO to fix the problem. But this time I just don't want to install
Linux. So I want to use only what, the system provides.

Thanks,
Pongthep

what page fault? most page faults in FreeBSD doesn't mean disk access,
just no mapping present in page tables, which gets mapped after the fault..

Only if page is actually not present in memory it is fetched from disk.

top shows in what state is a process.
if it's biord or biorw - it's doing disk/file I/O, not swapping.

that's about FreeBSD part - about postgress part ask on postgress mailing
list. i don't use it so i can't help you.

simply getting new hard drive could be enough.

check what modem. for lucent winmodems there is WORKING driver in ports.
works on my IBM T23.

simply check the hardware. or use external modems with USB connector.

Check if "Hayes compatible" or so label are on modem package - if so, it
behaves like serial port modem just connected through USB, you'll use some
of USB serial port drivers.

if no - it's winmodem, most likely incompatible with anything except
windoze.

I set up an anonymous ftp directory on FreeBSD system and copied (via a
tarball) the anon.ftp directory (pub) from our old ftp server to the
new FreeBSD server.

In the new server users get same loginnames, but UIDs are different from
UID at old server, so I manually did the necessary
chown -R username:groupname on all the directories and files in the anon.
ftp directory.

At unix command prompt an ls -la shows correct usernames and groupnames.

So, it displays numeric UIDs and GIDs. (these numbers are correct and are

But why does he not show me usernames and groupnames

How to remedy?

If it is an older server then i386 is probably the right version to use.
The recent processors from Intel that use the 'Xeon' name also support
amd64, but older ones did not.

In the meantime I have notified roundcube authors but it seems they

Probably you installed that files _after_ linker.hints is generated,
just make sure that they are still compatible with /boot/kernel/kernel

Perhaps its a matter of the process we're using. I first install the
GENERIC kernel into the image I am creating:

export DESTDIR=${IMAGE_DIR}
export DIST=/mnt/7.0-RELEASE
pushd ${DIST}/kernels
./install.sh GENERIC
popd

and then I apply our custom kernel:

cd ${IMAGE_DIR}/boot
mv kernel kernel.orig
cd ${IMAGE_DIR}
gzip -d < /mnt2/CUSTOM.tgz | tar xvpf -

The CUSTOM.tgz file was created for me by one of our kernel guys, and I
checked the archive and there is a new linux.ko file in the archive but no
linker.hints file. We don't make any changes to linux.ko but it is likely
being recompiled when the custom kernel is created. So I suspect I can
ignore this warning but am I missing something in the process. When a new
kernel is created, is there a new linker.hints file that should be included
in the tarball?

At any rate, dmesg works the same way in CentOS so you can use it to easily
make a more accurate determination. It will be near the top so do dmesg |
more, or dmesg | less so it will page. It will be among some of the
earliest
output.

Some laptops do come with COM ports still. Usually they are the
business models. For example, the Dell Latitude 820's have them.

Subject: FreeBSD 7.1R on laptop

Hi all,

I am using FBSD 7.1R on PC. But yesterday (8 Mar 09) my hard disk was
physically broken. My machine is very old anyway. So I want to buy a
new laptop (notebook). I have some questions.

1. Previously I use ADSL but now I go back to 56k serial modem. The
problem is new laptops do not provide COM port (/dev/cuad?). I must
use internal modem built with the laptop. I'm not sure whether this
internal modem can be found by FBSD 7.1R or not. If not, how to do?
(Sorry I never used laptop.)

2. Previously, I used LILO boot manager (from Linux) for selecting
FBSD, Linux or WinXP. But nowadays most of the time I use only FBSD
and don't use Linux at all. So I don't want to waste the space
installing linux on my new laptop. But I use XP occassionally. I need
to know whether FBSD boot manager can select and boot XP or not? How
to do it? I didn't find it in the handbook.
Note that I know grub. But I really want to know the way, the system
provide. Because I have a long story of this problem. Once (5 years
ago) I installed FBSD success but without caution. I rebooted then I
could not run the freshly installed system. Because there was no
options for selecting the new system. :-( That time I ended up with
LILO to fix the problem. But this time I just don't want to install
Linux. So I want to use only what, the system provides.

Thanks,
Pongthep

Hi all:

How could I find out the list of hardware in my machine? I used "dmesg" and
"var/run/dmesg.boot", it didn't seem to help that much as I expected.

which file lists all of hardware in the machine?

For text, I'd recommend slrn. Gary is already using mutt, so I'd
suggest he go that route, or alternatively, try mutt's nntp patch and
use mutt instead. Works perfectly well and it's what I use. If reading
news is going to be a regular thing, then setting up a local server of
some sort (to pull down feeds from one or more providers) may be a
useful addition, though slrn does does provide a companion program to do
something similar.

Binary groups, on the other hand, are generally best handled by a GUI
client. If you know what you're doing, command-line programs like nget,
nzbperl, etc. may be preferrable or useful additions.

The thing to keep in mind is that irrespective of what client one is
using, it's the quality of the feed that matters most. At least for
non-casual use. For a top notch feed, expect to pay out a few extra
bucks per month. That typically gives you a host of other benefits that
would include a complete hierarchy, high retention levels, unrestricted
download speeds, web access, multiple connections, multiple servers,
NNTPS, HTTPs, Clarinet, and a direct line to customer support.

Even though this has nothing to do with FreeBSD, its worth mentioning
that pulling down headers for a news group can use a lot of disk space
and consume a lot of time. The OP might consider using one of the NZB
aggregator sites and using a client that is NZB capable. This, of
course, is most useful for binaries. The other tools usually required
for these multipart postings are also in the tree. A little bit
of Googling will cover learning how to use them.

Back to my lurking corner ;-)

If it is an older server then i386 is probably the right version to
use.
The recent processors from Intel that use the 'Xeon' name also support
amd64, but older ones did not.





If memory serves, the first Xeon to be 64 bit was the Nocona. Xeons prior

that were 32 bit and came in OLGA 603 sockets. In early 2001 they were
1.4
to 1.7GHz units, and later that year the speeds ramped up.

There have been many 'Xeon' processors before that. The first ones were
the
Pentium II Xeon for Slot 2 and ran at a most impressive 400 MHz. There
have
been many variants after that using Slot 2, Socket 603, Socket 604,
Socket 775, Socket 771, and probably some more socket type which I have
missed. The Slot 2 and Socket 603 models do not have 64-bit support. Some
of the Socket 604 models have 64-bit support, while I believe all the
Socket
775 and Socket 771 models have 64-bit support.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors for
what
looks like a fairly complete list of them all, which should illustrate
fairly well why it is pretty much meaningless to just say that you have
a 'Xeon' processor.

After looking at the referenced wiki and my system, I believe I have a
supermicro
SuperServer 6012L-6. It has (2) Xeon 512K L2 "Prestonia" processors. They
are
Installed in a P4DLR+ motherboard which has 603 pin sockets.

From this, I believe I should install the i386 version of Freebsd. Do I
have to
do anything to enable multi-processors in Freebsd ?

AFAIK you need "apic" and "smp" options in your kernel config; of
course, the good news is that 7.0 and up have this enabled by default.

Yes - the Prestonia is from before EMT64.

Some while back FreeBSD went to having SMP enabled as default in the
GENERIC
kernel. I haven't looked at the 6.x series as I went to 7.0-Release when it
arrived. I did take a quick look at the GENERIC conf file on a 7.1-Release
box and it has SMP in there as default.

On older hardware you might try both/either 6.x and/or 7.1 releases and try
and see if one works better. I'd try 7.1 first as it will have a better
long
term upgrade path, and fall back to giving 6.x a go if 7.1 gives trouble.

Most likely what you'll see is whether or not the disk controllers are
properly supported. SCSI and/or IDE can give problems with boot ordering
sometimes. If it doesn't hickup on the disk controller(s) everything else
will most likely be fine. As old as it is there is a pretty fair chance it
will be OK.

If that's exactly how you ran portupgrade, then I'm afraid you won't have
any log info anywhere.

You need the -L flag to portupgrade, which takes a printf(3) style
format string (see man portupgrade for an example of how to use it),
or you can run portupgrade in a script(1) session, something like this:

# script /var/log/portupgrade.log portupgrade -fa

Note that this approach will log ALL output generated by portupgrade,
stderr and stdout, so the log file will get large.

From the man page:

-l FILE
--results-file FILE Specify a file name to save the results to. By
default, portupgrade does not save results as a
file.

If you have not used this option, or saved the output to
stdout/stderr, or sent them as e-mail ... it's gone.

I'm running into some odd headaches regarding what looks like iSCSI
initiators
going to sleep for approximately 30 seconds before returning to life and
pumping a ton of information back to the target. While this is happening,
system load climbs up alarmingly fast. Looking at tcpdumps in Wireshark, it
shows what appears to be a nearly exact 30 second delay where the initiator
stops talking to the target server, then abruptly restarts. Currently
8 machines are talking to 2 servers with 4 targets a piece, and while its
working, we get good throughput. Activity is moderately high, as we are
using the iSCSI targets as spool disks in an email cluster. As it appears
that iscsi-target is a single-threaded process, would it be valuable to
put each target in its own process on its own port? At any rate, this is
causing serious problems on the mail processing machines.

Hi, all:

Take this link away and put your kernel config file here.

tried another system and i had similar problem:

lab2# make buildkernel KERNCONF=lab2
ERROR: Missing kernel configuration file(s) (lab2).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

did anyone here encounter such problem?

nope. I always put the kernel config file where it belongs.
