I specifically said user accounts because that's the only thing I want to move over to the new system. Using dump and restore wouldn't be applicable in this scenario as many things in the file systems are different. I was thinking more along the lines of copying over the password files and using pwd_mkdb to rebuild the db's but wasn't entirely sure about the whole process. For the home directories I'm just using rsync to copy over the data to the new system.

Hi there, I noticed you mentioned legacy issues - Netware as your reason for sticking with 4.x. Do you have any more information on why it's necessary to stick with 4.x for this? We currently run a large number of production systems on 4.x and rely heavily on Netware support; if it's no longer functional in FreeBSD 5.x/6.x then that's a serious show-stopper for us! Last time I tried using NWFS, NCP and friends on FreeBSD 5.x it didn't work. It was a known problem but after doing some googling I came across this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-January/044838.html Unfortunately I need to know that it WILL work and not maybe. When I have time I will do some tests with FreeBSD 5.x again. Also, even if it did work I doubt it would be stable enough yet to put in a production enviroment.

Throwing out 2-3 centuries of enlightenment and scientific advance is not a good idea. Greets, Dan Come on, now... Just because someone is a Christian, it doesn't mean he/she's a quack. _Every_ religion has their extremists. I don't think it's very cool to knock whole societies of faith (regardless of what faith it is) based on the whims of the few who are too narrow-minded to see past their glasses... Thanks, Mike I agree. They can think whatever they want. That's fine with me. But like I said, they have no right to impose their belives upon others and certainly not upon a group of people who provide something technical (like an OS) for free. They have no right to do that, they have every right to think what they want to think. So have I. Religion should be merely a private matter. And if so I have the highest respect for someone doing or not doing or undoing or redoing something out of religious belief. And yes, most religious people (muslim, jew, christian, both catholic or reformed) *are* much more moderate than their leadership. So, when are they going to stand up? It's their movement, not mine. It's their sense of justice, not mine. Are they so diverted that they've lost beforehand? Every political movement operates the same way (and if you don't think organized religion isn't political your crazy) it is a function of the movement. The extremists are the ones who are willing to put the money and effort into taking an idea all the way. Even Open Source. From the commercial software developers point of view Open Source was an extremist movement - this wasn't helped by the writings of the like of RMS, by the way. And there's no denying that the existence of Linux and FreeBSD and the host of open source applications has put many one-horse software development houses into bankruptcy. As a result of the extremists, today it's considered a moderate position for a commercial software development house to make it's source code available, under NDA, to it's customers. 20 years ago that would have been an extremist position. So you can see that ultimately the extremists have an affect on the movements they lead. As long as they don't I reckon they agree with their extreme leadership. And they surely insult and condemn me (a secular gay gay who has been in a 10 year happy and monogam relationship with one person so far thank you how many rednecks can say that? -- not implying you are one). So I find a little offensive here certainly not unappropriate. It's probably needed. The American Taliban is not all that far away. In fact they're quite powerful, more than the moderates seem to think. 30 years ago you didn't see people talking about being gay in normal conversation. Today you do. Sure there are the right-wing extremists who hate gays. But the moderate center has moved away from them and toward the extremist gays who were shoving their gayness in your face all the time. The extremist anti-gays know this and are hoping to move the center back to them. But I don't see any evidence this is occuring, and plenty of evidence that it's going in the opposite direction. Take the gay marriage thing. The entire gay marriage campaign wasn't about actually getting gay marriage laws on the books. It was about getting secular domestic arraingement laws on the books so that gays in long term relationships wern't shut out of things like being able to have power of attourney and such if their partner got sick and unable to care for him or her self. They tried for years to get moderate versions of those laws on the books and failed. So they then tried the extreme version - gay marriage - and while that got shot down, the existence of those campaigns had the effect of moving the center to make the domestic arraingement laws now acceptable. That is why they are passing now. 30 years from now they will probably try for bestiality marriage laws to get gay marriage laws passed. It's the way of things.

Why does a system suddenly start hanging ... ?
A couple of months ago, I decided to take a chance and went SATA for one of our servers ... all others in the past have always been SCSI ... now, all of a sudden, the SATA server is *hanging* ... using tw_cli to look at the controller, and the drives and controller all appear to be well ... fsck finds the file systems to be good ... but after a period of time (an hour, maybe two) of running, the server grinds to a halt, and I have to get it rebooted and start all over again ... The server is an Intel SE7520 motherboard, with a 3Ware 9500S-4LP controller, and 3 ~126G hard drives ... operating system is RELENG_4 from ~May 22nd ... And none of the log files that I can think to look at are reporting any problems or errors :( So ... what causes an SATA system to 'hang'?

[RAID] Using raid after install on single disk
Hello all, I have installed FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE on my newly purchased Intel SR1435VP2 platform that has an Intel SE7320VP2 Motherboard. During the install (and after upgrading to 5.4-STABLE) FreeBSD would not recognize my RAID controller (ESB6300). I saw recently that support for this RAID controller was added to 6-CURRENT, so I upgraded. After upgrading the controller is picked up as ar0 and FreeBSD sees my 2 RAID 1 drives. My problem now is that I am still mounting the drives as /dev/ad4s1a etc. I changed my /etc/fstab with the hopes that it would just boot and it would work as planned, but, it did not. :P Here is what I did: Changed all occurrences of /dev/ad4s1x (where x is a, d, e, f) with /dev/ar0s1x Rebooted. Here is what I did not do yet: Check consistency of the RAID array before booting FreeBSD again. I must maybe do this before I try again. :) Now, my question: What is the correct way to start using the controller now instead of the direct disk?

Re: Procedure for migrating user accounts to new system ?
To answer my own posting. Simply copy(keeping correct permissions) /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group to the new system making sure you have a backup of the original if anything goes wrong. Then run pwd_mkdb -p /etc/passwd which will update /etc/pwd.db, spwd.db. I then rsync'ed all home directories and all is well.

Re: Linux move to FreeBSD
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [050703 23:08]: FreeBSD looks like a good stating place for me, but one think about FreeBSD makes me uncomfortable is the symbol/emblem that the OS uses. That is a devil ! I would like to know if possible how this came about, and what thinking was behind it. From experience, I consider symbols to be very significant, Historically, psychologically and even spiritually. I use FreeBSD because in my religion, Scientology, penguins were considered the avatars of the Galactic Emperor Xenu when he brought the Galactic Citizens down to Earth and exploded them around volcanoes. This is why Linux is so annoying to administer - the kernel is covered in what Ayn Rand (founder of Scientology) termed penguin thetans, commonly abbreviated TUX. Penguin thetans are commonly found under bridges and have a long-standing grudge against gruff billygoats. I hope this helps in the application of comparative religion to operating system mascots. - d. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's ok :-)
Just to summarize then, the solution to Julian's problem then is either
one of:
a) Manually edit the generated sendmail.cf and remove the C{E}root line.
b) Avoid using DOMAIN(generic) and manually copy over whatever seems
interesting from generic.m4 into his local sendmail.mc file and then
regenerate sendmail.cf from that .mc file.
I'd probably go for choise (b), because it doesn't require remembering
local hacks like open that file in your editor, remove that line, add
this one, etc.

make distribution fails with call to cap_mkdb

disk write barriers
Hi folks, I'd like to know something about the (possible) existence of disk write-barriers in FreeBSD. I often read the advice that one should disable write-back caching on modern disks in order to make softupdates actually work. Unfortunately, disabling the write-back cache on typical ATA/SATA consumer disks involves a severe performance hit (my Seagate SATA drive here drops to 1/5th sequential write speed, probably worse for a random workload, and so this workaround isn't really an option.) Now I've stumbled across: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/5/15/88 in which someone claims that FreeBSD used ... write barriers long ago. Write-barriers are a kind of synchronization point around critical writes (i.e., those which need to be kept in a certain order), where the block level drivers disable (or flush) the cache before the barrier, and reenable it afterwards. Windows has been doing that for a long time in order to make their NTFS halfway reliable (amazing that they got something right). Linux apparently also has write-barriers, although for SATA only in the most recent 2.6 kernels. Now my question is: Does FreeBSD also implements these barriers, or an equivalent mechanism, as claimed on the above URL? If it does, why then the frequent advice to disable write-back caching? Or is that only for the couple drives that ignore any flush cache/disable wb commands? I know my drive doesn't ignore that command (since performance drops sharply, when I disable the cache), so I would be on the safe side. Would it be possible to get an authoritative statement from a FreeBSD developer here on that matter?

I specifically said user accounts because that's the only thing I want to move over to the new system. Using dump and restore wouldn't be applicable in this scenario as many things in the file systems are different. I was thinking more along the lines of copying over the password files and using pwd_mkdb to rebuild the db's but wasn't entirely sure about the whole process. For the home directories I'm just using rsync to copy over the data to the new system. Okay, that's a little more information, so we're starting to get a better picture. In addition to home directories and passwords, you will need to move over the group file. You will probably also need to move the mail spools, user crontabs, and at jobs. You probably have local configuration for applications installed on the system, so you will need that too.

Re: toggle volume with scroll wheel in X on freeBSD ?
On 07/05/05 10:06 PM, Joe Schmoe sat at the `puter and typed: Hello, WHen I used to use windows, a very favorite app I used was: http://www.toggle.com/products/volume/ Very simple - if you held down control, then the mouse scroll wheel caused master volume to go up and down. It was terrific. Is there a way to do this in X on FreeBSD ? I would really like this functionality again...any thoughts ? That would be pretty easy to do with any window manager that allows you to set key/mouse macros. I use Fvwm2, I'm sure others on the list will tell you they prefer others - it's a matter of taste, so you probably want to check out a few if you're new away from windoze. For Fvwm2, I would simply set a macro for the buttons associated with the scroller (usually 4 and 5) with the Ctrl modifier. Something like this (untested): Mouse 4 A C Exec /usr/sbin/mixer pcm -1:-1 Mouse 5 A C Exec /usr/sbin/mixer pcm +1:+1 These macros start with the button to be configured (in XFree86 and Xorg, the scroll up and down are classified as button pushes). Next is the context. For Fvwm, 'A' means anwhere. 'R' means root window, so you could use that to make it only work if your mouse is over the root window, as opposed to an application window. Next is the modifier. There are several of these, but 'C' means Ctrl. Exec is the action, and the rest is the parameter to Exec, which basically tells Fvwm what to run when you hit that combination of buttons. I'm sure most WMs allow some kind of key bindings to be configured, so look into the config docs for your WM. Personally, I use a wireless keyboard from a great little hardware company called Microsoft (I know, they think they're a software company). It's got some fancy buttons along the top for all kinds of stuff. I've used the above method to tie those buttons to things like volume control as described above. I even wrote a quick little script to mute the volume and save the old volume for resetting, then tied the script to my mute button. Before you use the commands above for your WM config, check them at the command line (without the Exec) to make sure they work. You might boost the mod value to get more immediate results - the 1 translates to 1% of the total volume range.

Migrating FreeBsd installation to another hard drive
Hi, I've recently had the job of moving a FreeBsd installation to another hard drive. After quite a lot of reading I got round to following this article[1] using a VMWare FreeBsd instance. In brief the article uses dump and restore to move the data from one mounted partition to another in single user mode. It also suggests that before you do this, you perform a minimum install on the destination disk to ensure that it boots fine. First time round, I did the minimum install and then followed the steps (minus the MAKEDEV step as I'm running 5.3R) to backup the data to the destination. This all worked fine. Second time round, I didn't do a minimum install, rather I just set-up the slice and partitions on the destination using sysinstall, and then did the dump/restore. On booting from the destination disk this time, nothing happened. I reasoned that it was because I had no boot manager installed and so went ahead and used boot0cfg -B to install the FreeBsd boot manager. The disk now boots; however, I would prefer to use the equivalent of the 'Standard - Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)' option from sysinstall as FreeBsd is the only OS on the disk and so I don't need the option of booting to it or anything else. I'm guessing that I would use fdisk to do this but if so am not entirely sure how. In addition, is this safe to perform on a disk with data or would I need to go through the dump/restore process again? One final question is whether the dump/restore process is the best approach in this instance? I have read about using dd but am not entirely sure whether this would do what I need?

Where might such an entry come from? How likely is it that the box has been rooted? Are there known exploits that might have been used to root a FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE machine?

RE: NIC suggestion
I would like to inquire about what FreeBSD version are you running? Did you do a fresh install of 5.4 to a empty disk or did you do the build world process? Build world means you are running the old file system. Fresh install means you are running the new file system. During the development and integrating of the new file system into 5.x there where a lot of reports of system hangs and auto rebooting when the system was under heavy load. A nic was never considered as the problem then so maybe your nic is not the problem now. Maybe the new file system heavy load problem is not completely fixed yet. If I remember correctly it was never determined if the heavy load problem was caused by old file system using new file system code or new file system using new code and just not performing under heavy load. Just my thoughts about your problem from a different prospective. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Casey Scott Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 12:33 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NIC suggestion I am experiencing the same rebooting under network stress that others on this list have reported.

FWIW, it looks like you are doing the right thing. Maybe you have hit a

There may be a tweak for dhclient's configuration to extend the amount
of time it will attempt a profile before giving up and trying the next.
I would like to think that mode 11g is superflous, and that you can
just set that before-hand, or at a lower level ...

I've tried sl2tps but rapidly gave up on it -- no real documentation and it appears to be an abandoned project. I've also tried OpenVPN (which is my preferred solution, detailed at http://metanetwork.seekingfire.com if you're curious) but OS X support appears to be weak. While I can get the tunnel up and running manually, my normal OpenVPN practice of running OSPF on the client isn't an option for the OS X road-warrior case that I have. The GUI doesn't like the Spotlight position on the menu bar and appears to be a semi-abandoned project (I had to dig through an archived older version of the web page to get it). So I tried mpd to implement PPTP. In theory, with native OS X support and proxy-arp replacing OSPF (no dynamic routing needed if I think I'm local) this looked like the ticket. I ran into what appears to be the same issue that Robert Watson posted to freebsd-questions@ about May 5 2004: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-May/045705.html I get 10 attempts to SendConfigReq and then negotiation fails. ***snip*** [pptp1] IPCP: SendConfigReq #10 IPADDR 192.168.23.30 COMPPROTO VJCOMP, 16 comp. channels, no comp-cid [pptp1] CCP: SendConfigReq #10 [pptp1] CCP: Checking whether 40 bits are enabled - yes [pptp1] CCP: Checking whether 56 bits are enabled - no [pptp1] CCP: Checking whether 128 bits are enabled - yes MPPC 0x: [pptp1] IPCP: state change Req-Sent -- Stopped [pptp1] IPCP: LayerFinish [pptp1] IPCP: parameter negotiation failed [pptp1] IPCP: LayerFinish ***snip*** Has anyone gotten mpd working with OS X and could share their config files and setup with me?

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie- please be gentle, I have deployed a BSD box running , EXIM , SA, CLAM Here's the situation , minute after I launch Spamassassin the machine starts crawling, although top shows anywhere from 50 - 90 idle it just slows down extremely , for example I'll type top and wait anywhere between 4 and 12 seconds before it actually brings up the screen. I kill SA and I'm back to normal, I have checked the paniclog and mainlog and see no indication of what maybe causing this. The box is being used only to filter the mail , it is not storing , it is just passing it to my mail server. The box is a PIII 450 MHz with 192 RAM I have ordered and additional 512 for it, is there a way to perhaps limit the amount of SA processes it will run simultaneously? Could that be what is causing it?

Re: Account password expiration
In the last episode (Jul 06), Mike Carlson said: Is there a way in 5.x to have account passwords expire every 180 days? Or I should say N days really. I think this was once tunable in /etc/login.conf but thats has been repalced with PAM. Anyway, I just need account passwords to expire every 180 days, any help is appreciated. It looks like pam_unix does check the passwd-change field in master.passwd, but I don't see any code that resets the field when a password is updated. The login.conf and passwd manpages refer to a passwordtime capability, but libpam zeroes out the change field when the passwd is changed. Try the following patch. After rebuilding pam_unix.so, edit /etc/login.conf, set passwordtime to some short value like 10m, run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf, change a password, and see if it expires in 10 minutes.

RE: Start telnet server help
You can delete all the inetd_enable=YES statements in rc.conf but one. If you also have a firewall on the freebsd box you have to add rule to allow tcp port 23 in. In /etc/inetd.conf you have to uncomment the telnet line to activate the telnet server. You also need an user account other than root to login into using telnet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Efren Bravo Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 4:24 PM To: freeBSD Subject: Start telnet server help Hi, Have you got a line indicating inetd_enable=YES in your /etc/rc.conf?

IBM HDAPS Driver
Hi, As maybe you have already noticed, I use Linux, but this doesn't go into the case. We are working on getting the IBM HDAPS (Hard Drive Active Protection System) which is the one that parks the head of your new IBM lappy when it's on free fall or when there is heavy vibration. Anyway, if you are interested in looking at making a driver for it, here is some of the info and what we have so far as per our Linux driver which has been out for 5 days of development. hdaps.sf.net will be the site for the Project. We can host both FreeBSD and Linux projects there. I'm not racist like to not have them both there. If you are interested. I can make a separate mailing list for BSD users. Current Mailing list is: Hdaps-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hdaps-devel We have an irc channel #hdaps at irc.freenode.org Current ultra beta with no really any information driver is at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=138242 And the documentation that IBM released to make a driver is located at: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/marksmith/tpaps.html So, as you wish. This is me only giving data for you to play with things as much as you can or wish. I just battled with IBM like for 3 months so they could do something, and they released this little info. If someone makes a driver, and want to host it in the same place, please let me know. It would be fun. HAVE FUN.

not-yet-a-newbie : DL (ftp?) iso image help question
Hi folks -- Been reading through the email list archives haven't seen this yet (in last 90 days or so). I think this is the best list for me to be on .. it seems to be for general questions, including raw newbie pointers. Since I have failed to DL the ISO's by myself, I don't even qualify as a newbie (yet). With your help, I'd like to be. I'd really like to play with freeBSD begin my learning curve. Currently I'm trapped on a Win 2K system with an unstable cable modem connection in Riga, Latvia. By gawd/dess, I am SO READY to NEVER see win boot again .. in any flavor! I want very, VERY much to stop using windows am aware this will be a process for the next year two, not an ''event'' this week. So, I'm trying to DL the ISO images have been having a very frustrating past three days. Very minor fluctuations in the local connection (including power blips) keep wrecking the ISO image DL via web browser. I'd like very much to use ftp (unless there is something better?), but have been unable to connect. Am using winsock ftp 95, but all attempts at connection are being refused (at main ftp.freebsd.org site various european ftp mirrors). What I see as my need: how do I connect ? Anon keeps being rejected, I have not been able to locate ftp instructions at freebsd.org website; only web browser links. The ftp links (e.g. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org etc etc) don't work in WSFTP_95. It is recommended that I use FTP software w/ resume function, but no such instructions haave I seen. Searching various site keeps turning up butkis. URL with detailed newbie instructions ..? PLZ !! Does such a thing exist? I'm generally pretty clueful if I have basics to read, but am not a trained IT pro .. so a lot of lingo is pretty obscure until I can locate various definitions (don't suppose there's an acronymn dictionary ..?). If I have a place to bootstrap from, I can get up to speed .. but I feel like I've been dumped into 40 meters of open ocean while looking for the wading pool. Does a wading pool exist ..? I've had these DL'z broken about a score of times now from german, swedish, estonian lithuanian mirror sites wasted most of this week (it's a Riga problem with power interent connection stability; we rarely get three hours without some small break in service here for several reasons). I have several goals I'd like to accomplish with freeBSD, but have not been able to get the ISO's so I can burn the CD's get first installs attempted. So, using a win2K platform to begin the bootstrap into the BSD-universe, how to ftp? Or is there something better ..? I can burn an ISO to CD, not DVD. Financial resources are limited, and buying books in english is a fantasy option here .. I require on-line resources. Anyone familiar with east eurpoean economics will understand that $10 USD is a small fortune here, so please refrain from suggesting options that reqire money; I need it to eat. Some backround : from 93 through 99 I was a solaris user in a university environment, but have forgotten most of it 2000 through present as I took various jobs where winNT/2K was required. Have dabbled in linux *BSD a few times, but it's been three years since last attempt, so there's a lot of new to learn and old to re-learn. I've got a curve ahead off me, please be patient, but I'm not real interested in anything after win2K, linux doesn't seem to be worth a major investment of my time. I'd like to get a BSD power-desktop going so I can learn and migrate over the next six to eight months move to running BSD servers ... still up in the air if it will be free- or netBSD or both. Dreaming of getting web file email servers running with strong firewall protection; strong graphics audio capability, not interested in 3d or video rendering. The Big Picture concept is to get two multi-boot i386 systems (one dual-P-III Tyan MoBo other AMD 1800+ K7VTA3 MoBo) going that run *BSD as the primary OS with win2K, win98 linux (probably gentoo) as 2ndary options on multi-boot with legacy software emulated. BUT, first ... Why is the anon ftp via ftp software not working ??? I obviously must have resume capability ... I keep losing connection between 200 300 MB for each image for various reasons (this email panic help request generated after isoCD1 failed at 500 mb on third attempt).. grrr bites chunk out of keyboard. Have tried logging into about 20 different ftp servers various directories using ''anon'' ''anonymous'' ''public'' and my email address in various user ID's password combo's. All have failed. What is the magic combo, please? And, is there a reference URL for instructions w/ required details? , how _should_ I have been able to find it? Very frustrating that such information was not provided with the advice to use FTP ... I'd be happy to RTFM if I had any idea of which manual which page(s) I need to begin this. Of course, your reward will be about another 50 newbie questions from me. Feel free to
Re: devfs permissions wierdness
On 07/06/05 04:11 PM, Louis LeBlanc sat at the `puter and typed:
I have my devfs config set up to allow certain devices to be mounted
by users in the cdusers group as follows:
own da1 root:cdusers
permda1 0660
own da1aroot:cdusers
permda1a0660
own da1croot:cdusers
permda1c0660
own da1s1 root:cdusers
permda1s1 0660
Problem is it doesn't work unless I go in as root and manually restart
the devfs facility with `/etc/rc.d/devfs restart`
Here's what I see:
root# ls -l /dev/da1*
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 27 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 29 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1a
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 30 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1c
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 31 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1cs1
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 28 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1s1
root# /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
root# ls -l /dev/da1*
crw-rw 1 root cdusers 4, 27 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1
crw-rw 1 root cdusers 4, 29 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1a
crw-rw 1 root cdusers 4, 30 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1c
crw-r- 1 root operator4, 31 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1cs1
crw-rw 1 root cdusers 4, 28 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1s1
root#
Seems like this resets itself every now and again to the
root:operator/640 permissions too, and not just on reboot.
Anyone know what I'm missing?
Well, I've uncovered a little more of this. The devices are created
and destroyed each time the device is connected or disconnected. When
they are created, the default permissions are used, not those I've
configured. If I want my devfs permissions to be available, I have to
restart devfs each time I connect a USB device.
I tried setting a rule to fix this in /etc/devd.conf, but I don't
think it works right. I added the following:
attach 100 {
device-name da[0-9]*;
action /etc/rc.d/devfs restart;
};
I was hoping this would simply restart devfs each time I connected a
/dev/da* device, but this didn't work. I then tried changing the
action to an explicit devfs rule command, as follows:
action devfs rule add path da* mode 660 group cdusers;
but this didn't do any better. Executing this action from the
commandline didn't do what I wanted either, so I obviously have the
syntax wrong. Since the first attempt didn't work, I suspect there
are other errors in the config block that cause the whole thing to be
skipped.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

The three apps modified when running perl-after-upgrade as an sh script seem to function OK. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try more like:
spamd_flags=${spamd_flags:--c -d -r -m 2 ${spamd_pidfile}}
You don't have enough memory in your machine to run twenty ~30MB
spamd processes. Unless you are handling hundreds of thousands of
messages per day, two or three spamds is enough.

Re: not-yet-a-newbie : DL (ftp?) iso image help question

Very minor fluctuations in the local connection (including power blips) keep wrecking the ISO image DL via web browser. I'd like very much to use ftp (unless there is something better?), but have been unable to connect. Am using winsock ftp 95, but all attempts at connection are being refused (at main ftp.freebsd.org site various european ftp mirrors). What I see as my need: how do I connect ? Anon keeps being rejected, I have not been able to locate ftp instructions at freebsd.org website; only web browser links. The ftp links (e.g. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org etc etc) don't work in WSFTP_95. It is recommended that I use FTP software w/ resume function, but no such instructions haave I seen. Hello there, To download the iso image, maybe try using filezilla, a very easy ftp doze client. It has reasonable resume functions: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558 Or maybe get a torrent client such as Shareaza, and get the iso via P2P: http://www.shareaza.com/ In terms of documentation, the handbook is the best place to start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO88http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/59-1/books/handbook/ All the best .nbco ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
