RedHat, some Debian versions and others aimed at the server market will have their precompiled binaries with reasonably sane defaults. (Or else with everything, including the kitchen sink, thrown in.) The downside is that the server based ones, (RH, CentOS, etc.,) are going to have older versions of packages. This makes sense of course. Much of the time, they'll simply concentrate on security updates and have a 5 year EOL (possibly longer, possibly shorter, but around that.) Desktop---well, things like Ubuntu and Fedora usually have major upgrades every 6 months or so. Fedora at least, recommends doing a complete reinstall, though usually, updating via their yum package manager will work. It doesn't always. Arch Linux and some others have a rolling release type thing, where incremental upgrades take place all the time, usually without major effect. They're smaller, and like the BSDs tend to be better at letting people know--(things similar to our HEADSUP type posts.) Fedora in contrast, might make a decision that will break sound for 30 percent of the users and the only way to find out will be to dig through their (rather slow) bugzilla, only to find that the developer doesn't consider it a bug.

That's the solution. In fairness, many folks often skip mergemaster -p without ill effect till something like this happens. There have been many posts about this. One could argue back and forth or submit a patch for UPDATING. The pro side of adding it is that there have been a lot of posts similar to this and it is considered a server O/S not a hobbyist O/S, and busy sysadmins who have been updating for a long time and not bitten by ignoring mergemaster -p (I forget the last time it caught a lot of people--was it with the authpf?--in a long time, should probably be reminded by a note in UPDATING.

I'm also too lazy to submit a patch for UPDATING, and will just say, Hey Warner or someone, you oughta put a note about it in there.

The other thing that will fix it, eventually, is as ports are upgraded, gradually, they'll all use libc.6.so which I ~think~ will fix the problem. (It did for me.) For example, I input Japanese in aterm. If I did ldd `which aterm` I'd get back some answers showing me it used libc.5.so. Doing portupgrade -f aterm fixed it with that application.

Speaking of notes, the make cleanworld hasn't made it into UPDATING, which it probably should. (I remember one late night install on a test box, where rather than CD'ing into /usr/obj, I'd cd'd into /usr, and was using a prompt that didn't automatically give me my working directory. I was a bit upset when I then typed cd /usr/src and got the response that there was no such file or directory, then typed pwd to see that I was in /usr. Oops. :) While on the subject, I wonder if it would be worth adding to UPDATING, the ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf to turn off malloc debugging.

Re: FYI - RELENG_6 branch has been created.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I ran into two issues so far. This is a box that has something like 300 programs on it that I use to test various and sundry things. Japanese input (using kinput2 and canna) stopped working. Last time, I was able to fix this with the new port /usr/ports/misc/localedata, but in this case I wasn't. (I think this has to do with the changes in LC_CTYPE). However, reinstalling the two xterms that I use with Japanese, rxvt-devel and ja-aterm fixed this problem. (The risky fix is to add a libc.5.so libc.6.so to /etc/libmap.conf. This fixes it too, but I suspect risks breaking many other things.) The other problem that will possibly affect more people is that SpamAssassin stopped working properly. This isn't a server, simply a workstation, using getmail and maildrop. I would get the following error Delivery error (command maildrop 65199 error (0, razor2 check skipped: No such file or directory IO::Socket::INET: connect: Operation not permitted ...propagated at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 447.)) msg 1/1 (1422 bytes), delivery error (command maildrop 65199 error (0, razor2 check skipped: No such file or directory IO::Socket::INET: connect: Operation not permitted ...propagated at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 447.)) 1 messages retrieved, 0 skipped Thinking that it was a simple perl thing and perhaps also connected with the libc.5 and 6, I first did a portupgrade -fRr of SpamAssassin. This didn't fix the problem. Eventually (and I don't have enough knowledge to know why this worked) I did another portupgrade -f of perl, then did a pkg_delete of SpamAssassin and all B and R deps save for perl. I then reinstalled SpamAssassin with the port reinstalling the deps. Then it worked. Unfortunately, I don't have another machine to use as a test box, but if this problem does affect many people, it would defintely hinder some mail server upgrades. :) I repeat however, the box in question has close to 300 programs on it, so that we can see what problems we might run into with a variety of servers. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: Men like sports.

Just so I understand... You install this in conjunction with the www/firefox not the www/linux-firefox? Heh, yes. Ok, let me be sure I'm clear in my explanation. As this is the STABLE list, it might be redundant to mention that this is all on what was 5.3 and is now 5.4-PRERELEASE I install native firefox and native java, jdk14 (which requires, during the build, the linux-sun-jdk14 though that can be deleted afterwards.) If I then install /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper, it installs the linux-flash plugin, linux_base-8, linux-realplayer and some other linux things. After that, if one looks in /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper, one sees libmap.conf files for FreeBSD4.x, FreeBSD5-current and FreeBSD5-stable. If one copies the suggested lines to /etc/libmap.conf, flash and realplayer will work, as well as pdf's opening with acroread. Java is a separate issue--if one installs java before installing firefox, firefox finds it on its own. If you install java after installing firefox then you often have to create a symlink. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: It's a big rock.

After trying various things, I finally gave up and did it the easy way. If you don't mind rebooting, the easiest thing to do is set the clock in the BIOS as accurately as possible, then let ntpd fine tune it from there. Setting your BIOS clock shouldn't be necessary since the bootup scripts will do an ntp sync before raising the securelevel anyway. Make sure you have ntpdate_enable=YES in rc.conf. I've found that if my bios clock was REALLY off, it would choke on that.

On an unsecured box (the one that I mentioned, where ntpd choked because the BIOS clock was too far off, I simply stopped ntpd, ran ntpdate and then restarted ntpd. They do not conflict if you use the flags in defaults/rc.conf. ntpdate -b sets the time ONCE and is run before ntpd starts, the '-b' option will cause it to to set the time absolutely no matter hao far off the clock is at the time. This is exactly how ntpdate is intended to be used. That said, ntpdate is considered obsolete by the ntp folks and may disappear at some time in the future. Their recommendation is to use ntpd with the '-g' flag to force an unconditional clock set and to use the 'iburst' option on your servers in /etc/ntp.conf. I find this works well, but some have complained that it takes too long. Thank you. I have been using ntpd for awhile, and haven't read the man pages recently, which I should have done before posting. I only ran into the issue once and solved it as I mentioned. Thanks again.
