I am also using client Mulberry (but also tested with Tbird, Outlook Express, Outlook). I use IMAP access with all the clients, the server is on the same network as clients (100 Mbit network). The issue is when I try to send several messages one after another I get smtp delay message and this sometimes takes for 30 sec to a minute. My sendmail has configured a smart host and also to accept unqualified domains. I have attached my sendmail config. What am I missing here? 30s delays sounds like DNS timeouts. Check that the host running sendmail can do a reverse lookup on the IP number of the clients connecting to it. Simply putting IPs and hostnames of all your client boxes into /etc/hosts should fix the problem. It is allready able to do a reverse lookup on clients. Alternatively, that delay could be due to the ident protocol. Ident is trivially easy to spoof which makes it a pointless waste of time. Putting: define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl in your .mc file will stop ident getting in your hair. This is allready defined also. The third possibility is that you've got quite a few milters set up there and sendmail simply needs a bit of time to run each message through all of them. Cheers, Matthew Will try without milters but there are only two milters sendmail and clamav.

I've found a few articles on google and google-groups regarding this, but they all seem to be related to burning DVDs in FreeBSD. It appears to be the same problem however... So, I guess now my question is, does anybody have any great ideas for getting around this? I was wondering if it's possible to use dd to copy the tarball over to my local drivek so that i can work with it that way. I haven't had the chance yet to figure out dd well enough to know if this is possible or how I would do it, but it seems to be the best option i've been able to think of... Thanks for the help! ~Erin From what I've read their is a 2GB limit per file on ISO9660 file systems. It seems as though Linux 'worked around' this limit thus forcing you into this problem. dd will not work for you. the only easy workaround is to mount the DVD on a Linux box and then copy the file over the network to the FreeBSD box, or make a new DVD. In the future make sure the files you burn to disc are less then 2GB. dd is for disk image stuff to see what it does and how it works read up on mdconfig and mdmfs (man pages). you want to make file backed (vnode) memory disks to use for playing with dd... http://www.crazytrain.com/dd.html Also grab some floppy, hdd, or even cd image files to play. http://rcsg-gsir.imsb-dsgi.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/documents/advanced/node13.html http://www.rajeevnet.com/hacks_hints/os_clone/os_cloning.html anyways... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD, CVS and NetApp
Hi all, Does anyone out there have recent experience with running a CVS server on FreeBSD, with the repository files NFS-mounted off a NetApp filer? When I say server I mean this would be a machine offering CVS access over ssh or pserver - it would be the only machine accessing the repository files on the NFS server, all clients would talk to the CVS server. There are a lot of reports of CVS file corruption when using an NFS-mounted repository. These all seem to boil down to we don't really know why it happens, but it seems to be interoperability problems between NFS client and server implementations. There are more reports of problems when clients access the repository directly, but it seems to still happen when only one server machine is touching the NFS volume. So I'm looking for reports (good or bad) of these kinds of setup with specific FreeBSD and NetApp versions...

I've tryed using the others /var/qmail/boot scripts, but it's the same. That's because qmail-smtpd hasn't started. You have to do that separately from qmail-lspawn and qmail-rspawn. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Video / Audio Capture Framework in FreeBSD ?
Hello list. Does anyone know if there will be a Video / Audio capture framework that will be part of FreeBSD in the next few years ? I currently use the bktr device for image capture, but it would be nice if there was some kind of interface that would permit me to capture from a broader kind of video devices. On Linux they have v4l ( video for linux ) that does exactly that, but i don't think it will be ported to *BSD due to licensing issues. I came across bsdav in the ports tree, but it seems to be broken. I am also curious as to what kind of capture methods/framework other image/signal processing people use under FreeBSD.

Debian GNU/Linux has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately maintained errata ports branch (you still get to download a newer release of the software, though (IIRC)). On your own, but not in the sense you may think. If you cvsup your ports (I do it nightly for all my servers), then you can simply run portupgrade and all the affected ports will be upgraded (assuming you use the right switches - I use -ai because I want to be able to decline to upgrade a port if it's going to affect a lot of people and then schedule it for later that same day or the next.) I'm not sure what you mean by suffering all the intricacies.

System lockup building 6.0 RELEASE SMP-GENERIC kernel
Hello All; I'm trying to compile the SMP-GENERIC 6.0 Kernel and my system completely locks up (requires a hard reset) at different points in the compilation process. The system is built around a Super Micro P3TDLE MOBO dual p3-1Ghz - 512 MB Regesitered ECC ram box. Bios is the most recent. HD Config - 3 SCSI U320 drives - RAID5 on an Adaptec 2130SLP RAID Controller. Secondary Drives - 1 SCSI CD Rom 1 SCSI Tape Drive connected to an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller. NIC(s) Intel Pro 1000 Gigabit Ethernet an intengrated 10/100 Ethernet adapter. I've tried disabling ACPI , the integrated NIC, and IDE controller. I've also removed the Gigabit NIC, the secondary SCSI controller, and tried only using one P3 CPU indstead of both. I've run 2 different memory testers against the DRAM and both came back clean. I CAN compile a plain GENERIC kernel. But if I try to compile the SMP GENERIC kernel: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP it locks up tighter than a Nun on Sunday ( no offense intended ; ). CVSup'ing buildworld but that also locks up the box. SoftUpdates have been turned off. As you can see from the enclosed dmesg I get a whole slew of ACPI errors - that's the only hint I have ( before starting the build ) that there's a problem. From what I've seen via googling people tend to ignore the ACPI errors or talk about interrupt storms but I've not seen anybody post a solution to to these issues. The MD5 of the iso downloads checked out fine. Did I miss something? Have I zigged when I should've zagged? I can't go to the 4.x series due to the need to run SAMBA 3x on this box. Is it worth trying NetBSD or OpenBSD or do they share too much of the same code? Any suggestions are greatly appriciated - thanks in advance.

Fine-tuning access
Lately, I've been having an itch to get something cleared up. I give out free SSH shell accounts to people I know and to people that I dont know so well, but ask for it. The basic idea is that they get an account on a FreeBSD server that has lots of disk space, a descent CPU, but not such a great internet connection (Sadly). As the happy giver that I am, I also want to provide my users with web-hosting features. Mostly everyone knows that some user will at some point want to set up some kind of PHP+MySQL based web-service, like a bulletin board or a blog. When doing so, they need to enter their password and username to the MySQL server in a config file. For apache running as the www user to read this, the file has to be quite insecurely chmodded. I've thought a possible solution for this: Adding the www user to all my users groups, thus enabling the www user to read all files chmodded with read permissions for group. Are there any drawbacks of this solution? Is there a better solution that I'm not familiar with? Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you Beecher. I did a recursive portupgrade and it works now. Hurray! Rob. You're welcome. I always upgrade anything linux recursively. Since most of the apps are packages you sometimes end up with either bad or wrong lib links if you don't.

ports security branch
Is there a security branch for the FreeBSD ports collection? Let's say, I installed FreeBSD 6.0 together with all needed -RELEASE ports/packages (i.e., those on the CD). Running security/portaudit after a while reveals that some of the installed packages have vulnerabilities. Am I on my own to go grab the fresh ports tree, and upgrade the affected software, suffering all the intricacies of the move by myself? Debian GNU/Linux has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately maintained errata ports branch (it's very likely you still get to download a newer release of the software, though). Sorry if this is a bit OT. I've already asked this on freebsd-questions@ but they told me there's no such thing at all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
network monitoring tool
can anyone tell me which is the best network monitoring tool for unix which can tell me that from which ip the traffic is comming and the type of traffic and in which i can give a criteria like today which ip has downloaded how much amount of data. I am currently using ntop but it is not showing me the details based on criteria it just show me the traffic from the day it is up. I want something simple and effective.

getting an old server up to scratch...
I've been trying to build a new server and I've gotten to stage where I can start moving some of the data over from the old server. In the process I've decided to move my version control software from cvs to svn and have been using svn nicely now for some time. My old machine is a FreeBSD 4.4 machine and the ports trees simply doesn't work anymore. I only get: stimpy# cd /usr/ports/devel/cvs2svn stimpy# make install /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4942: Malformed conditional (defined(USE_RCORDER) || defined(USE_RC_SUBR) ${USE_RC_SUBR:U} != YES) /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4952: Malformed conditional (defined(USE_RC_SUBR) ${USE_RC_SUBR:U} != YES) /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4963: if-less endif /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4963: Need an operator /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 5272: if-less endif /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 5272: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue stimpy# for practically every port these days. I've tried installing from source and I need to upgrade python (which doesn't work using portupgrade either). I see it isn't possible to use cvs2svn on the new machine were I get to pass in the cvs path as :pserver:/blah,blah,blah... and I can't make a dump file on the old machine... now what? For svn users, is there a way to dump the cvs repos without using cvs2svn? and for FreeBSD users, Is it possible to get the port working or should I just move on and lick my wounds?

Re: unmounting USB key (sorry, lost the original title)
Hi, I can't remember who posted that and I removed my emails from server. I try to eject my USB key using cmacontrol and I got this: # camcontrol devlist Corsair Flash Voyager 1.00 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0) # camcontrol eject 1:0:0 Unit stopped successfully, Media ejected #camcontrol devlist Corsair Flash Voyager 1.00 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0) You see, it seems to be successfully stopped but I still have it by asking the devlist the moment after. Don't know how to help more than that, sorry :) Regards, Ivan. -- little P.S: for those who are saying FreeBSD is not ready and the penguin, and M$, etc, etc, Mike is right, let's see what we could have with just a hundredth of M$ money. If you come to FreeBSD then you may want to discover and search many new things by yourself. Help the project, give your time, share your knowledge. I am not a programmer, so I translate the handbook. And from day to day, it will be more accessible. But I am not sure this is the place for pessimism. Also note that almost all questions asked here get their solution in less than 24 hours. -- How you say ?
