Re: Why /usr/local/etc???
Gary Kline wrote: This may have been covered too-often before, buy why can't *everything* related to /etc hang off /etc? I can create a symlink in /etc to /usr/local/etc named loc or local. Thing is, why this isn't done by default? Mostly historical reasons. The typical Unix filesystem layout was developed in the days when disk capacities were measured in Megabytes and they were a lot less reliable than they are today. Hence it was important to have a separate root filesystem small enough to fit on one drive and containing everything needed to boot the system -- and ideally, if your root disk failed, you'ld have a spare drive with identical contents to fall back upon. Other file systems were created generally one to a disk and mounted as required -- so you'ld have separate /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr/local, /home etc. If the filesystem grew beyond what one disk could support, you'ld have to create and mount a new filesystem on another disk and move content onto it. RAIDing disks together to make larger filesystems was developed as a response to the limitations of the hardware of that generation, but in those early days it was unlikely you'ld be able to boot from a RAIDed partition. Failures of disks providing other filesystems could be handled by recovery from backup, so long as you had that basic and as minimal as possible bootable root partition. Nowadays, the situation is turned on its head. Disks are very much larger than the space required to install the OS, and they are both reliable[*] and pretty cheap. Server class motherboards generally assume you're going to mirror a pair of disks together to provide resilience. There are also any number of portable disk equivalents that a system can be booted off in an emergency: memory sticks, compact flash, live CDs etc. all generally big enough to hold a complete bootable system. However there is no overriding reason to rearrange the filesystems. Oh, there are arguments about does the root partition still need to be kept separate (personally, I'd say no it doesn't: one big partition to hold it all is much simpler to administer, but opinions differ) but nothing that makes change imperative. I do think that there is potential for some sort of rearrangement due to the increasing popularity of virtualization and similar techniques, where reusing filesystem content as far as possible pays big efficiency dividends. I'd see filesystems divided into three classes depending on content: generic -- user home directories, web content, databases, system sources, the ports tree etc. that you'ld want to share or be able to migrate across all instances; arch specific -- kernel, binaries, shlibs, /usr/obj, binary package collections which are tied to the CPU architecture and the OS version and finally instance specific -- configuration data (ie /etc, /usr/local/etc), log files, temporary and swap spaces. It's not excessively difficult to make this sort of split with existing layouts, but it is more complicated than it needs to be.

Re: Unable to access certain sites from FreeBSD 6.2 (solved)
Hi Norberto,
It is solved but quite simply!
But through no skill of mine. Installed tcpmssd, man page said to re-configure
the kernel before diversion can be done.
So I added this to the GENERIC config file:
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
options IPV6FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE
Verbose just for curiosity!!
Compiled as per handbook. Didn't even configure tcpmssd. Just thought I would
check to see if sites opened ok. They did, but don't know why. Would be great
to know. Unless they just shutdown the bodgy router for a Sunday rebuild.
Will post if situation reverts.
Your experience put me on the right track,thanks now happily I can use FreeBSD
as my main OS.

Careful now. Have you accounted for the effect of the klog file

I see similar results on all of four systems I tried here - an order of
magnitude difference between perl (fastest) and sed, and awk slightly
slower than perl. All running perl 5.8.8. I did a handful of manual runs
and took the most consistent-looking results. Source file was a 62MB
apache log with 232k records.
Interestingly an Ubuntu system exhibited a similar difference between
perl and sed, but its awk was slightly faster than perl.
In order to get meaningful data for this sort of test you should
do a dummy run or two of each command in fairly quick succession,
and then repeat your test runs a number of times and look at the
average and standard deviation of the execution times. ...
Yeah, Hoyle would like that. But for me, I think the results
are clear enough without all the messing with statistical
computations. 10 to 1 or better is good enough for me to think
there's some major difference. That said, it would appear that
caching can make a difference - which is why I put the Perl
invocation first ... so it would be running without the benefit
of caching. But I don't believe I was entirely successful in
that effort. The very first time I ran this, which was also the
very first time in a whole day that the klog file had been
accessed, the first Perl invocation took about 2 seconds of
real time and still only 0.7 seconds of user time. I don't
believe caching explains the execution speed disparity.
It was mentioned that this function is made for awk, so I tried
that as well. It is also evidently not as quick as Perl at
doing the job. The time shown above is quite consistent with a
number of other runs I've tried with awk.
Keep in mind that awk, while producing a comparable result, likely uses
quite a different parsing strategy. While the comparison is interesting
for this particular test-case, different circumstances could produce
very different results.
I suspect a real Perl internals maven could explain this. I
have some ideas but they're conjecture. Perhaps some effort to
improve execution efficiency in sed and awk would not be wasted?
My conjecture is this: the implementation of pcre that perl uses most
likely has good optimisation for the ends with .* part of the pattern
(vs sed). While the result is certainly interesting and perhaps
surprising[1], it is for a single, simple pattern which is far too
little to draw much in the way of conclusions from - except perhaps that
extracting the first field from a data source with many records can
possibly be effected more rapidly with perl or awk than sed.
Nevertheless, I've always dismissed perl as being heavy and slow
through anecdotal evidence and the results you found are a pertinent
reminder that assumptions like that are never worthy.

Catch kernel notification in devd.conf
Hi,
I want my laptop to shutdown when the battery is critical low, but the
ACPI Battery info warning only comes on at a battery level of 10, but I
just noticed that the kernel logs:
kernel: battery0: critically low charge!
..this happens at battery life 7. Better point of shutting down, this
will give me at least 10 minutes more ;-)
How can I catch this in the devd.conf?
My current catch of the battery notifications looks like this (and it
works nicely, but in my point of view, too early):
notify 10 {
match system ACPI;
match subsystem CMBAT;
action /usr/local/etc/rc.d/battery;
};
Of course, I could make a loop in the battery shell script to catch it
from the sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.life ;-), but if I can get the
kernel critically low charge, I think that's better.

I am running into a problem with the space character in filenames.
For instance, If I want to run the script;
for x in `ls`
do
echo $x
done
then filenames that have a space in them ie: john smith.jpg
are processed by my script as two names, john and smith.jpg.
What is the best way to deal with this type of space problem in the shell?
I know that file names in quotes solves some problems but I can't tranfer
that to my script.
Depending on what your script is doing, I would use an intermediate file
and awk.
Something like:
ls /tmp/mytempfile
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'
if you are looking for something special add grep to the mix:
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'|grep -i [some name pattern]
rm /tmp/mytempfile
You can save the results to another temporary file for more processing, or
use awk more to create commandlines to execute in another script file such as:
cat /tmp/mytempfile | awk '{ print $0 }'|grep -i [some name pattern] | awk
'{printfcp %s /backup/backupdir\n, $0)}' /tmp/mycopyscript
chmod +x /tmp/mycopyscript
/tmp/mycopyscript
So depending on what your original script was doing, this method may work
for you.

ftpd and sshd logging of domain names

Running your own MTA is not for the faint-hearted. My ISP is cablevision IO. Not sure what they allow, ie: whether I can have my hosted domain set to use my cable IP as a MTA The main question is whether you have a static IP. The IP address that you appear to have sent your message from, 69.118.77.111, does not appear to be a static IP address. You will not be able to send directly from that IP to most mail servers on the net. So if you intend to use your system for sending mail, you will have to go through a smart host (probably your ISPs designated out bound SMTP server). Receiving mail directly will be more possible, but tricky. You will need to use a dynamic DNS system. Also do consider uptime and reliability. In the old days, if one MTA couldn't reach another it would hold stuff in its queue for four or five days. Now, most MTAs appear to be configured to give up after 24 hours. So if your mailserver is down for a day, mail will be bounced and never delivered to you. Also looking for advice on which software would serve me bet in this instance. exim, postfix and sendmail are all good choices. I personally prefer exim, but I think that someone in your position would do best with postfix.

Not sure what they allow, ie: whether I can have my hosted domain set to use my cable IP as a MTA, or if I have to do some kind of end run around cablevision to get a MTA set up locally. Here are the pre-requisites: - You must have a solid understanding of SMTP, DNS, etc. - You must have one or more fixed IP addresses. - Your ISP must be willing and agree to delegate your IP address(es) to you or to whomever is going to handle the DNS for your domain. A call to your ISP's DNS provisioning department may typically be all that's required. - DNS must be set up correctly. - Your email server must be set up correctly. - Your own network must be secured. - Your DNS and email servers must be available 24-7/365. If all the above can't be met, you have no business sending or receiving email. If you want to try and PASS GO and collect the $200 by skipping one or more of the pre-requisites (common enough, it seems), prepare yourself for some heartache, and be aware that you're likely to cause or participate in grief for others. Put simply, email is one of the more complex and challenging things you can do. If you don't have the knowledge or technical expertise, but feel confident you can master the fundamentals and progress from there, be prepared to spend the next month or two or three slogging through reading RFCs to do so. If you do, know that your work has just begun, and the hard part is just around the corner. ;-) Also looking for advice on which software would serve me bet in this instance. I'd suggest setting up an internal test network and deciding for yourself. For example, setting up a number of FreeBSD jails, each with its own running installation of sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc. would be a good approach, and may more useful than relying on the opinions or recommendations of others. -- George ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
