    Getting sshd: [pid] error: connect to in nightly security run log

    In the last couple weeks I have been seeing similar entries in my nightly security run output. Nov 16 16:55:49 alpha sshd[21633]: error: connect_to 67.195.132.238 port 80: failed. Nov 16 16:55:49 alpha sshd[21633]: error: connect_to 67.195.132.238 port 80: failed. Nov 16 17:03:00 alpha...

    Setting Up Cacti On FreeBSD 7.0

    SirDice, you are correct. I also saw that the correct version of RRDTool (1.4) was installed with the cacti port. Installing rrdtool directly caused other problems for me so I had to uninstall that package too. My cacti installation seems to be a little happier now. Ah, the error's of one's...

    Setting Up Cacti On FreeBSD 7.0

    nabsta, I know this original howto is 'old' at this point but wanted to add my two cents on getting it installed on FBSD version 8.2 Three things. Thanks for this write up as it helped me get about 90% there on installing/configuring Cacti. Two things missing though, and maybe a typo: I had to...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    No, after loading the modules and going to boot, it would hang while trying to load drivers for the built-in card reader. Using gpart, as you suggested, finally worked-but I had to go back and re-delete/destroy everything on ad6. I then used a combination of your notes and jem's notes to get the...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Warren et al, I finally have FreeBSD 8.1 back on my laptop! I used a combination of your Disk Setup on BSD notes and jem's notes on the same. I usually try to avoid downloading the DVD iso but in this case it was a prerequisite to accomplishing the goal. I only had to adjust for my...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Will do. I did exactly what jb mentioned in his post and also what jem mentions here but when typing boot, it hangs at da0 load...jem made some notes on his sitewhich I will follow next. I could just load the 7.3 and leave it there, but I typically like to run the current, current releases...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Thanks jb, I will definitely look into it. @ wblock, hmmm I never had any complaints about sysinstall ;-) but can understand why the masses thought it was something they needed to complain about, especially if they are coming from a linux gui background. When is the pc-install taking over, or...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    So, I did use the livefs CD to create the slice and partitions, then booted to the install, but it ended in failure again. I read in another post that someone had a similar issue and used the previous version (7x), so I pulled out my 7.3 CD and booted the install disk. I am now able to label and...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Okay, still getting the error I mentioned in the first post, Unable to find device node for /dev/ad6s1b in /dev! The creation of filesystems will be aborted gpart show still lists ad6 as => 0 1 ad6 (none) (233G) followed by: 0 1 - free - (512B) I am still unable to completely...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Okay, I think I got it. After running a gpart show I saw ad6 followed by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I ran this command: gpart delete -i 1 ad6 to delete the first partition (I think) and followed it with running gpart delete -i 2 ad6 gpart delete -i 3 ad6 gpart delete -i 4 ad6 gpart delete -i 5 ad6 And...

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    No, the FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso is what I used.

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Yep, had to download the livefs cd. Using that and Fixit, I run # gpart destroy -F ad6 but it is coming back as an illegal option. Options for: gpart destroy [-f flags] geom gpart show and gpart list still show ad6 there. If I run a gpart destroy ad6 it just shows "device busy" any ideas from...

    Excellent, will give it a go here in a bit. Thanks for the info!

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Thanks Warren, I was looking at this thread from the FreeBSD email list. Can I just hit single user mode and run the DD command or is it easier to just grab the LiveFS iso? thanks, David

    Normal Install Failing at Creating Slice/partitions

    Okay, I have never seen this one before and searching the error in the forum did not yeild a straight forward solution. Here's the history on installing OS's on my HP G60-125NR laptop. Came with Vista, upgraded to Win7 over a year ago. Three days ago loaded FreeBSD 8.1 (boot only iso) and...

    Errors on recent portupgrade

    Thanks for that tip Warren. I learned pirate mode many years ago (Dru @ O'Reilly) and just never revisited the man page on it ;-/ Additionally, I usually do check the UPDATING file, but pulled a major brain fart on that one today. I kept thinking I was missing something prior to running...

    Errors on recent portupgrade

    Okay, fixed the autoconf/make stuff. Now on to why archivers/php5-zip and security/php5-filter are missing headers. Guess I will look at the port maintainer's sites ;-(

    Errors on recent portupgrade

    After a portsnap fetch/update, I ran a portupgrade -arR Normally it runs to completion without errors but today I see: Skipping 'lang/php5-extensions' (php5-extensions-1.3) because a requisite package 'php5-zip-5.2.12' (archivers/php5-zip) failed (specify -k to force) ** Listing the failed...
