 Hi Ben  :)

Hello Matthew, always nice to "see" you.
 
 On Tue, Apr 04, 2000 at 05:41:05PM -0400, a little birdie told me
 that Ben Rosengart remarked
  Hello all,
   I am running a 5.0-CURRENT system cvsup'd this afternoon, and sshd is
  not working for me.  When I try to start it, I get the following:
  
  ** RSA_PKCS1: Unable to find an RSA implemenation shared library.
  ** Install either the USA (librsaINTL.so) or International (librsaUSA.so)
  ** RSA library on your system and run this program again.
 
 (Aren't those filenames reversed?  Just a hunch...)

Hmm.  As you can see in my truss output, it's librsaINTL.so that's
getting picked up.

 (ttypb):{54}% ll /usr/lib/librs*
 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  6358 Mar 14 04:03 /usr/lib/librsaUSA.a
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel14 Mar 14 04:03 /usr/lib/librsaUSA.so@ - librsaUSA.so.1
 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  8080 Mar 14 04:03 /usr/lib/librsaUSA.so.1
 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  7122 Mar 14 04:03 /usr/lib/librsaUSA_p.a

fx: lightbulb appears over Ben's head

I moved /usr/lib/librsaINTL* to a backup location, and now the ssh
programs no longer complain or dump core.  I apparently shot myself in
the foot by building the world with USA_RESIDENT set to "NO" at some
point.

Thank you, Matthew!

   And the only cost is the slight expansion of the amount of disk

And the time and disk space required to make world.  No thank you.
Remember that the only win here is if bzip is used in an infrastructural
capacity (e.g. for packages and other install stuff), and it has been
pointed out that the savings on disk space are offset by the additional
memory requirements.  If it won't be used for infrastructure, then why
can't it stay in ports?

 Ah, well, ok. I used it extensively with bind 8.1.2 in an internal

 Anyway, if multi CNAME is no good then do:
 
 cvsup IN A198.104.92.71  ; cvsup1.freebsd.org
 cvsup IN A205.149.189.91 ; cvsup2.freebsd.org

 This is legal, is it?

Not only is it legal, but I believe BIND will return all the A records
to any query, and will rotate them.

I don't think it makes sense to try to dictate network policy to people
who are doing the FreeBSD Project a favor.  Anyway, an application-level
round-trip time measurement would probably be more accurate, because
some routers treat ICMP and TCP packets differently.

I think you'd have better luck asking people what their experiences with
the software have been, rather than asking for a recommendation.  No one
is likely to want to take the responsibility of recommending -current
for a production site, but they'll be happy to share their own
experiences and let you come to your own conclusion.

building world on pre-signals-change systems

1999-12-20 Thread Ben Rosengart

If I recall correctly, someone posted recently that the time is not far
off when one will be able to make world on an older, pre-signals-change
system.

Is there going to be an announcement when that happens, or has it
perhaps happened already?  I'm running an Oct 1 -current box, and I will
eventually want to update it, and I'd like to know when it's safe.
Thanks in advance.

You're talking as if litigious corporations follow logic and common

Don't construe this as arguing against the inclusion of trek73 ... I

SUPFLAGS in /etc/make.conf

1999-08-13 Thread Ben Rosengart

I submit that putting "-z" in here is silly, because the sample cvsup
config files turn on compression, and suggest commenting it out if you
have a fast link.  It seems counterintuitive that one can comment out
the compression in the standard supfiles and then have it enabled by
default with "make update" anyway.

Comments?

One might want minimal or no boot messages, just to look nice, while

they need to configure a kernel.  It's certainly chrome, but I'd like
