Re: Public FreeBSD lists vs. spammers and our private email addresses

OK, I guess I'll stay :-) However, there's a more serious problem: all emails to the FreeBSD lists are propagated to public newsgroups and archives with the original (private) email addresses unmodified. Since the newsgroups and archives are public, it's a great source of email addresses for spammers. That is indeed a *huge* problem, and should be addressed. Especially innocent people, who just want to ask a question, will suffer, since they may realize too late (if not even never realizing at all!) that the lists are actually advertising their private email addresses on the public newsgroups and archives. And these are the ones who will tell their friends: I tried FreeBSD, and since then I've got all this spam! Not good for the cause. And in case anyone's wondering, I block by source, not by content.

Why can't on install packages for 5-current on 5-release?

No it is not. People find it productive to redefine language to suit their political agenda all the time. The original term out of the license was not advertising clause. The original term, right out of the license, was acknowledgement I can only refer you to the license itself, which contains both advertising and acknowledgement: 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors. The GPL crowd found themselves sounding like a bunch of ungrateful spoiled brats when they originally tried telling people the BSD license was bad because it had a clause that required you to acknowledge the copyright holders So, they did a bit of creative doublespeak and came up with the slur advertising clause Since advertising is associated with commercial activities, this carried an instant negative connotation in the free software community. The GPL bigots didn't even have to explain what an advertising clause was, the mere presense of the word advertising was enough to set people against the acknowledgement clause. Notice how just changing the term back to the real term acknowledgement clause removes the negative connotation and lets the truth of what it really is show through?

That was my sole point. Yes, this is a valid point. I understand it and I think most educated people on this list understand it. I thought Nell understood it which is why I figured it was worth correcting her or him. That is why I REQUESTED that the initial poster not use a derogatory term. They are of course free to use whatever term they want - but they deserve to know at least that it is derogatory. I did not think the initial poster was asking for a lesson in semantics along with my request - you however chose to argue the request. Let's consider language as a weapon for a moment. You paint your- self as a knee-jerk reactionary by using emotionally charged pejoratives like GPL bigots and Linux bigots. Whoah, there. I use the term GPL bigots because there ARE GPL bigots. I did not say at any point that ALL GPL advocates are bigots. The same is true of use of the term Linux bigots. Not all who are Linux advocates are bigots, and not all who are GPL advocates are bigots. To put it in mathematical terms, the set of GPL bigots is a subset ot GPL advocates. I would not tarnish the set of GPL advocates with the ugly actions of their bigoted subset. Why are you seeming to want me to do so? And as for painting myself, no I'm not doing that. YOU are attempting to label me as a knee-jerk reactionary. I personally don't think you have succeeded in doing so.

I would love to get some links that some of you have in your bookmarks on this. The person i'm trying to convince is a hardcore MS fan so i need real evidence of why BSD is better than MS products in server environments. Some friends of mine have told me that yahoo, msn and microsoft all use FreeBSD but until i can show him that and prove it to him that means nothing. Better for what? Every product is better at some things and weaker at others. You can argue that a BMW 325 is better than a 540 if you are concerned about gas prices, and its certainly more cost effective if your only use for the car is to go a short distance to work or the stores. Also, programmers have different criteria than non-programmers. Big companies are concerned with the ability to find people to administer their systems. There are more people around that can administer MS systems than unix, Yes, and it can be done with a lower level of talent. . Having seen and dealing with the aftermath of networks owned by people that thought that, I have to state your out of your gourd. Windows today is just as complex as any UNIX system. Sure, maybe a decade ago a peer-to-peer network of Windows systems your statement might have been true, but not today. A car enthusiast might prefer older, pre-computer cars because they're easier to tinker with. They are, that's news to me! I'll take a computerized engine any day over fighting rust encroachment in a 25 year old or older vehicle. And you just try getting parts for a 1976 Datsun. I know more than a few people, small businessmen mostly, who have been completely screwed because their almost totally incompetent unix tech guy left the company. For every small businessman screwed over this way there are ten times the number who have been screwed over by incompetent Windows tech guys. Being a screwed over small businessman because your key tech person went away and turned out to be incompetent is just a sad fact of life. Most small businessman are small businessman simply because they don't like working for large companies, ie: they want to be their own boss. That is all fine and good but the personality type that wants to be completely in control of their business, ie: be their own boss is generally the same personality type that does not want to hire a computer tech and tell them I don't care how you do it or how much it costs, all I want is for you to get it working reliably Instead, they are the type that wants to review every last expenditure and does not want to give any shred of control to the computer tech guy, because after all, they didn't go setup their own company just to be bossed around by the computer tech guy, now did they? It is a rare small businessman who wants to be their own boss and yet has the ability to understand that they need to focus on their core competency and turn over control of the computers to someone else. And such people generally when they start small companies, such companies don't stay small very long, so those people end up running large companies. The problem here is that the boss didn't hand the poster a task and say get it done and don't bother me with the details, and if you can't get it working you don't get paid The problem is the boss don't know shit from shinola, read on an InFlight magazine that Windows is better, and thinks that makes him competent to micromanage the guy he's hired to do the work.

Re: IDE drive - hard error reading fsbn... - recoverable?
Problem is, unless it fails the Dell Power on IDE test, they won't replace it. :-/ Guess I just keep backing it up until it fails totally. Get a Dell diagnostic disk for your system, and run the hard drive test. It ought to see the problems, which you can then report back to Dell in order to get them to do something. Sorry, I should have mentioned I used the BIOS based disk check and it passed. Maybe I do need to go to the more extensive one.

First, sorry if this arrives after other more useful messages. I'm travelling in Europe, and it could be up to a week before I can send this message. I've been looking at ARLA, and it seems that it's broken as a result of some changes in the bio layer of FreeBSD 5 and 6.

sshd STILL not using one time passwords.
Thanks to all who have patiently answered my previous questions. I've got another one. I'm using 5.2.1. My logs show attempts to break into my system via ssh, telnet, and ftp (I use strong passwords, thankfully, and no common user accounts like admin, guest, and so on) and so I'm trying to tighten security. I have run into a problem, however - I've set things up so only two accounts can connect via ssh (telnet disabled outside the local net) and I've started using opie. However, ssh will not recognize and use opie. Local telnet does, as does ftpd, but not sshd. The list archives has a thread that deals with the reverse problem (i.e. sshd prompting for challenge response and not using passwords), but that hasn't been any help here. I've included sshd_config and /etc/pam.d/sshd. I've left out all commented out lines for brevity.

So very true, you can read the many posts from people who have not done that. But, unless you do a 'portupgrade -a', you're going to have to run portversion (I use -vL=) in order to find the ports that need upgrading. I won't mention pkgdb -F (yes, I just did) sometimes needs to be run, I'm sure you circumstances for doing so. Cheers, Matthew All that being said, I just don't use portinstall as I feel I don't have the control I have with 'make install'. Would I ever use portinstall? Probably not, I can do the same thing with portupgrade -n, if I ever felt inclined to do so. The reason for asking the OP the question about why he would want to use it, was to try to get him to see that there are other ways to do things and think about them.

Either case you're running the port version. 2. You're still using an old, insecure system-version of OpenSSL. If the first is true (ie, you're using the port version of OpenSSL), try portupgrade -aRr. You _may_ get away with that, but I wouldn't recommend it. If the second is true (more likely scenario), then you _have_ to update your src and rebuild your system in order to move on with your port upgrades. My advice would be to update your source. My last clean install was from a 4.9-REL CD and I keep the updates coming (now run 4.10-STABLE).

pf and RELEASE
I saw a while back that the majority of people feel that for rock solid stability and production environments, the way to go is with 4.10-Release (I'm still not sure if stable is considered production quality as most things i find say it is still a WIP) I really am interested in the PF port that came over from openbsd. I think this piece of software really offeres a great set of tools especially Carp and pfsync. I notice (at least this is how it appears to me) that it isn't available for the 4.X versions of FreeBSD. My question is this, if i want to use PF in a production environment, should i go with the upcoming (tomorrow?) release of FreeBSD 5.3 or just use OpenBSD, either 3.5 or 3.6 for the firewall? I know this is one of those theoretical/holy war what's your favorite type questions, but not intending it to be and hoping the answers aren't geared as such. i just like pf...and also FBSD, with this in mind..i want a machine that is secure and stable as can be, it is after all the access to the internet as well as the defender of all that is good for the company.

Basically, try to make the new version of portupgrade, and whenever it complains about a different port, go and fix it; you may need to do more than a few make deinstall make reinstall to deal with version changes.

usb printer won't behave
Hello, I've just got a new epson stylus photo r300 - lovely, works like a dream... in windows. But not in FreeBSD su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 /dev/ulpt0 makes the print heads move a little, then stop - sounds like it's getting ready to print, then changes its mind. If there's a sheet ready for printing it's ejected at that point. The same thing happens if I do su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 ~/test su-2.05b# cat ~/test /dev/ulpt0 I installed the port print/pips-spr300_310, which is the proper driver for this printer - on install it created /etc/printcap: # written for pips-spr300_310 spr300_310|EPSON SPR300_310:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/spr300_310:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :lp=/var/ekpd/ekplp0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/pips/SPR300_310/filter-spr300_310:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: # pips-spr300_310 end as well as the corresponding spool directory and other files mentioned. It also prompts to add some lines to /etc/libmap.conf: # Photo Image Print System (for EPSON bubble jet printer) [/usr/local/lib/pips/libspr300_310.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/pips.so libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/pips.so so I did that. Now, su-2.05b# lpr -Pspr300_310 ~/test su-2.05b# lptest 20 10 | lpr -Pspr300_310 su-2.05b# lpq -Pspr300_310 Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1stroot 10 /root/test210 bytes 2ndroot 11 (standard input) 210 bytes ...and they'll stay there indefinitely without a peep from the printer, not even the throat-clearing it does redirecting directly to the device node... The detection of the printer is pretty hit and miss - it only seems to work if the printer is off when bsd boots up, AND if I switch it on after I switch on my digital camera! (Odd, huh?) But when it does work, this is what I get: umass0: EPSON USB2.0 MFP, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 ulpt0: EPSON USB2.0 MFP, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 8/6 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: EPSON Stylus Storage 1.00 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ CAPACITY.

If you use the make install method, there isn't any guesswork as to what name to use. portinstall is just portupgrade by another name. Infact, it's pretty much identical to 'portungrade -f'. As to why anyone would want to use portupgrade? That's a no-brainer. Just try it and you'll see. Actually, I think you mean 'portupgrade -N', don't you? 'portupgrade -f' would be used if you want to force the upgrade of an already installed port (eg. you want to change some option). Remember, to someone unfamiliar with a process, how to use it it is not a no brainer, that's why Bill posted his question. The reasons to use a process, for someone familiar with it, probably is a no brainer. To someone who knows several ways to do something, it becomes more complicated. To answer the original question, portupgrade or portinstall can select a port to operate on in two ways. You can either give it the package name -- with or without the version number -- or you can give it the port origin -- ie. the port directory relative to /usr/ports. Now, usually, the first part of package name is the same as the last part of the port origin, but not always. For instance the www/apache2 port installs apache-2.0.52_1. That similarity of names is what was confusing the OP. He could either have issued the command: # portinstall mysql-server-4.1.6 or # portinstall databases/mysql41-server and it all would have worked. The command he did use: # portinstall mysql-server worked for him, but that was partly a matter of luck, as it happened to default to the 4.1.x branch of MySQL. (Maybe he had WANT_MYSQL_VER=41 defined in /etc/make.conf or some such -- the default is to install databases/mysql40-server) To find out what package name a port will install, just: % cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server % make -V PKGNAME You're already there now, why not just use 'make install'? You can even do 'make package' if you want to save a built package for later (you made an oh, oh and have to reinstall) emergency reinstalling a port. portupgrade processes the /usr/ports/INDEX file into a database of port origins and package names, which is why you always need an up-to-date INDEX when using it. So very true, you can read the many posts from people who have not done that. But, unless you do a 'portupgrade -a', you're going to have to run portversion (I use -vL=) in order to find the ports that need upgrading. I won't mention pkgdb -F (yes, I just did) sometimes needs to be run, I'm sure you circumstances for doing so. Cheers, Matthew All that being said, I just don't use portinstall as I feel I don't have the control I have with 'make install'. Would I ever use portinstall? Probably not, I can do the same thing with portupgrade -n, if I ever felt inclined to do so. The reason for asking the OP the question about why he would want to use it, was to try to get him to see that there are other ways to do things and think about them. It evidently didn't work as I received from him, an exact copy of your email to me. Good thinking Don. Some people don't realize that it's good to learn new ideas, and they can be learned by thinking about a few hints. By the way, I did relearn something from you email. Thank you. Now I have a question for you, rather, I would like to know your opinion. I have been using '*default tag=RELENG_5' in my supfile. At some point I will be changing that tag to 'default tag=RELENG_5_3' to avoid getting something like 5.4 beta1 when it comes down the pike. How soon after the release of 5.3 do you think that should be done? Thank you, Don Don, Actually, I'm quite happy learning new ideas, or I would not have posted a ques tion regarding something I didn't understand (or be installing FreeBSD on a hom e machine previously running under Windows). If you look at the bottom of what you received from me, you'll note that I did not send an exact copy of Matthew Seaman's quote, but merely answered the comment from Matthew in the thread at t he point where all discussion to that point had taken place rather than multipl e times to multiple users and messing up any continuity that the bottom postin g requests imply. Not knowing whether you were (or are) a subscriber, I includ ed you as a cc.

pure-ftpd options
Does anybody know if and if so, how I can see the options that were
given pure-ftpd in starting up? All I see in any ps command is
pure-ftpd (SERVER) or something similar.
I use the new startup script:
=-=-=
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: pureftpd
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS
# BEFORE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown
. /usr/local/etc/rc.subr
name=pureftpd
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config $name
command=/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd
command_args=-? -? -a??? etc etc
pidfile=/var/run/pure-ftpd.pid
procname=pure-ftpd
pureftpd_enable=${pureftpd_enable:-NO}
run_rc_command $1
=-=-=
The original script wants the conf file, but I made some changes so I
could use the normal command line options, which I prefer.
I want to make sure the command_args are given, but I can't make them
visible on a running server. How do I do that? Or can't it be done?

Ports Improvements
Hello, I'm curious if there is any major work being done in developing the ports infrastructure right now or if it is mostly just minor features or bug fixes that are being added. The main reason I'm asking is that there are several major improvements, IMHO, that gentoo's portage has over the bsds' ports system that I would like to see included. The biggest thing is the USE flags. One of the biggest annoyances I have with major upgrades using portupgrade is when I leave it upgrading for a day and come home to find it sitting at the mplayer-skins screen asking what skins I want to install and that it spent less then an hour doing any work upgrading. I really don't care much about skins, the default is fine, but instead is wasted nearly a whole day when I wasn't using the system. Not to mention, I installed this port before and selected all since I have plenty of hard drive space, why couldn't it at least remember my last configuration if not default to something. USE flags would also eliminate the need for ports like exim-ldap. Another improvement of portage is that any port can hold multiple ebuilds, instead of a single makefile so both mozilla and mozilla-devel would be in the same directory as two different ebuilds. In fact, I think gentoo has at least 5 of the latest ebuilds in the mozilla directory. This makes it easier to choice an older version if the latest has some bugs not worked out yet. Yesterday I just ran across portaudit and tried it out. I found that the mozilla-devel build I have has some security vulnerabilities in it, which is understandable for a -devel version. I used -devel a few months back when the mozilla port was too old for my purposes, but no longer the case. So then I tried to build mozilla instead only to find it had it's own security vulnerabilities. I tried updating the ports tree, but both ports still had problems. At least on gentoo I would of had five choices. Also, any specific ebuild can be marked as unsupported/unusable, experimental, or stable for a particular architecture; I think mozilla has two experimental, and three or more stable ebuilds. The last feature I would like to see in ports is the ability to hold back certain ports or force them to always use packages. lang/ezm3 and editors/openoffice-1.1 almost always fail compiling at some point with cc1 being killed for eating too much memory. I prefer to always build from ports even when the latest package exists minus these two ports. Also, I might just prefer to keep kde where it is since it takes so long to build and sometimes they update the port several times in a short period of time. I might be able to volunteer some time to this as, at least the first thing I mentioned I think could really use some work. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen.

The problem is a device can't be unmounted when it's in use. It can be in use because a file or program is open on the media, or even if a program is sitting in that directory like the konqueror file manager. Usually closing the file manager window will fix that, but sometimes I have to use lsof to find which process is sitting in the cdrom directory and kill it. Most cdrom's are also locked by unix when there mounted so it can be a big problem. Mandrake gets around this problem by using a kernel mod called supermount which prevents devices from being locked even though they are mounted. On linux there is also an option to force a drive to be unlocked, but it really shouldn't be used except by things like knoppix just as the system halts. If anyone has a fix for this I might go back to using KDE again, instead of fvwm2+xterm which has always worked pretty well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] !DSPAM:417c111f182511642842525! -- I sense much NT in you.

Now, I'd really like to try the official emu10k1 driver for my Audigy 2 (now I'm using http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/), but firstly I thought the emu10k1 is only used up to the audigy 1 and they were using a completely new chip for the audigy 2.

The problem is that I have an Inspire system - 6 speakers + 1 subwoofer - and I don't know how to control the volume of every single speaker. I believe freebsd uses a nearly identical api to the oss drivers on linux which means that a mixer has a limited number of controls, about 20 I think, and each control has a specific name so a device that has 4 generic line ins can use line1, line2, line3, but may be forced to call the 4th one aux because only three of the controls are named line. In Linux, I know some drivers use multiple mixer (ugh) if they need more controls. Also, I think the dsp devices are also limited to two channels so linux's emu10k1 uses /dev/dsp0, /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2 for 5.1 surround sound on the audigy. Is all this true on freebsd as well? Now the alsa drivers for linux get rid of all these restrictions and provide a much better api using a standard library instead of raw ioctl(). Is there any work for something similar on FreeBSD?

Re: make install error for openwebmail
Looks like I fall under that catagoy. Im confused on the notes there though. Im not sure what to do next. AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run use.perl port, so that the system knows you have 5.8.5. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards. Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary, if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway. - Original Message - From: Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.

Re: 5.3 Release
I'm also having to update ports as I'm finding some stuff no longer works. Yeah, there were some major changes between 5.1 and 5.3 that will break a lot of ports. I'd recommend recompiling everything actually (ports). Just switching from 5.2.1 to 5.3 beta required that i rebuild gnome to get it to work smoothly. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, I would like to have the system check and see if I want this to happen at a specific time, and do the backup, and then return to multi-user state. I think I did this a long time ago under BSD/OS. I did it something like this: 1. Set a cron job to check for the existance of a file (like want.backup). 2. If no want.backup, do nothing 3. If want.backup, then init 1, backups, reboot. There are a couple of things I can not figure out: 1. How do you get a FreeBSD system into sigle user state and start a shell without the prompt from init? 2. When the system goes into single user state how do you get it to execute a script? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards Martin Schweizer [EMAIL PROTECTED] PC-Service M.

Wouldn't it be better to do it in this order: /sbin/dump -0au -f /disk2/safe_backup/usr_$datum.dmp /usr etc. etc. if [ successful ]; then rm -rf /disk2/backup mv /disk2/safe_backup /disk2/backup else send error message fi If the dump fails, you also get the error message, but now the previous dump backup is still there!

You are right, that fixed it, but didn't think I had to do that before :( You get it because the guy who maintains ifconfig didn't have the foresight to realize the alias should imply a host mask, and also that the guy who coded the kernel code didn't think that assuming a host mask was reasonable.

Ok, that out of the way, the config you assume should be coded into ifconfig and kernel is not 100% going to be used all the time. In fact I have multiple nets and have multiple netmask assigned on the one machine. If you actually READ man ifconfig it states that this should be set to what you assume it should be.
