On FreeBSD running nagios server, (dunno about

/usr/local/libexec/nagios you'll see the plugins,
or install them
from ports if you don't have them already. For disk
is check_disk or

right now. from
there you can do in your config file.:
check_command check_local_disk
check_command check_tcp!25 --will monitor your

check_command check_SMTP
Read the Nagios docs for syntax on choosing a disk
slice and setting
the alert threshold.

AMD problem
Hi There, recently i have ordered FreeBSD 5.4 CDs from UK. Presently i am using Celeron-600 on SiS-630. I know FreeBSD will work on my system. since i have Celeron i said to them that i have i386 architecture. Now in the next month i want to purchase a new computer (as i have an old quite slow machine). I am thinking of buying AMD-athlon-64. I know that FreeBSD will work on AMD64 architecture but what i do not know is will the same CDs will work for AMD64? I mean, does FreeBSD come in different types of hardware dependent CD packs (like Debian GNU/Linux uses 2 diffenent CD packs for x86 and AMD64)? -- if your answer is hardware dependent CD packs then i will not buy AMD-athlon-64, instead i will take CeleronD. (and will feel sad as i will not be able to assemble use a new hardware myself). -- if your answer is hardware independent CD packs then i will buy AMD-athlon-64 and take experience in assembling using a new hardware as i have already assembled Celeron and Pentium because these are frequently used in INDIA. I am learning PROGRAMMING and will take it as my professsion but i also want to have experience of different hardwares (like we have of different languages). ONE MORE QUESTION: My friend has AMD-sempron - 2500+. Will FreeBSD work on this one (I am asking because it is a 32 bit OS and Fedora-Core-3 can not be installed. again i need the answer in the form of hardware dependent/independent CD packs can you help me by providing answers to these 2 questions? thanks for your time. fraser If you did not find my questions appropriate to this mailing-list, PLEASE point me to the appropriate one. ** the Great Intellectuals __ Yahoo!

Proper SSH set-up
Hi all, I have some probably straightforward questions regarding SSH, and I couldn't find the answers to all of them using Google, so I hope someone can provide me with them. :) The situation: Last week I added a second (fall-back) server next to my life server, and I want to automate down-syncing from the life server to the fall-back machine. Both machines have an outside world connection via one NIC, and both are connected to one another directly via a cross-wire, on a second NIC, on a local 192.168.1.x net. The files get synced using rsync (over the 192.168.1.x net, of course), and I also have prepared a script for dumping the MySQL tables on the live server, and pushing them into the fall-back server over an SSH tunnel (again: on the 192.168.1.x net). My questions mainly concern this last step, as well as general SSH set-up questions. The questions: 1-Which key types are better/preferred: RSA or DSA? 2-If I generate an RSA or DSA key on my fall-back server without a pass-phrase, and allow root access from the life server only (by stating something like AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] in sshd_config on the fall-back machine), will that somehow compromise the general SSH security of the fall-back machine (as no pass-phrase is then used), for outside world connections? 3-I'm considering enforcing very strict SSH access. Will adding a line to sshd_config like: AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] olaf eric force SSH to ONLY allow those three users (and no other ones), with root only allowed from 192.168.1.1, and the other two users from anywhere in the world? 4-If I add an RSA/DSA key of the life server only to the authorized_keys files on the fall-back server, will SSH still allow me to connect to it using e.g. the user olaf with password authentication from anywhere in the world, or will that one then be locked out until I add the key of each and every machine I need access from to the authorized_keys file?

How well do USB - parallel adapters work for printers?
This will be FreeBSD 5.4 machine. I need to hook a printer to a server (actually, it's a plotter, an HP inkjet plotter).

I've been warned about USB - serial adapaters and how the translation isn't always 100%, so I'm trying to gather some information before I go forward with this plan. Anyone use one of these?

I don't know about the answer to your question, but one alternative that may work better for you is to purchase an HP print server (JetDirect) that can take the parallel interface from the printer and then serve it as an IP printer. You may even be able to help mask that by putting it on the network as an IP printer, then use the FreeBSD printer to share it out as a Samba printer to Windows systems (if this is the type of setup you're aiming at) so users can connect still to your FBSD printer server system without knowing that the printer is accessible also as an IP printer. May also save some hair pulling in getting the USB-Parallel interface working under FreeBSD. -Bart ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MiniDV over firewire howto
Hi, I have just discovered that Canon MiniDV series have different names in US which may explain why I haven't got much response on my previous posts on this. I want to buy a camcorder and like the specs of Canon MiniDV's, I failed when trying MVX200 which is equivalent to the Elura 60 (well Elura some number). Some cameras have both DV in and out, the one I tried only had DV out - can this explain why communication failed? Have anyone succesfully transfered video from a Canon camcorder? - which? When I tried 'fwcontrol -R' I got an unknown format error and no frames were transfered - any clues?

why my daemon did not start
Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple RC script to run my little Perl script as
a daemon. The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
portal_enable=${portal_enable-NO}
portal_flags=${portal_flags-}
portal_pidfile=/var/run/portald.pid
. /etc/rc.subr
name=portald

start_cmd=echo \Starting ${name}.\; /usr/bin/nice -5 ${command}
${portal_flags} ${command_args}
stop_cmd=kill `cat /var/run/portald.pid`
run_rc_command $1
If I were to run this manually via
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/portald.sh start
it works. but in a reboot, it does not start.
Can anyone guide me where to find the error message, or (even better) what may
be the problem? Thanks.

I haven't studied up on the rc.subr stuff; but I've noticed that many
of the scripts that use it require that an enable line be put in /etc/
rc.conf. Have you tried adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
portal_enable=YES

you should correct these: to set the default value use ':-'

Using this you need to enable the script in /etc/rc.conf

Seems like one year from vi to being deployed at Berkeley to a completely different video editor being deployed on a completely different os in the schools that I used this in seems fast. So I did some digging. vi started in about 1976[1] as a project that grew out of the frustration taht a 200 line Pascal program was too big for the system to handle. These are based on recollections of Bill Joy in 1984. It appears that starting in 1972 Carl Mikkelson added screen editing features to TECO[2]. In 1974 Richard Stallman added macros to TECO. I don't know if Carl's work was the first, but it pre-dates the vi efforts. Other editors may have influanced Carl. Who knows. You're probably right. I didn't know the diff between a computer and a washing machine until I was past 30; found out in 1977 and haven't looked back!

Portversion question
I have crontab run cvsup, and make a new port index for me nightly. This morning I ran portversion -l and found that there was a package it regarded as not being up to date. However, neither portmanager or portupgrade picked up the non-current package. Why would portversion indicate a package that is not up to date, and either of the two upgrade programs not find it also? Thanks in advance.

[FreeType2] Disabling the antialiasing
Documentation for FreeType2 does not explain the procedure to disable TrueType antialiasing. Varus Online is rebuilding its website, and the new layout template places avatar images (image/png) over some dark areas of the page. The TrueType text is difficult to read as the avatar canvas is white. Glyph hinting has been disabled, but had no effect on the antialiasing. What must be done to disable the antialiasing in FreeType2? If this issue is PHP related and not FreeType2 related, what options must the php5-extensions be recompiled with to disable the antialiasing on the text? Note: the avatar base and avatar items (eyes, hair, clothes, toys, etc...) are not antialiased, the issue is just with the text.

Third, your wildcard is wrong. There's no ImageMagick-*, there's only ImageMagick. Thank you for your reply. My mistake with the wildcard was thinking that I had to supply a regexp to match the full portname-version_info rather than just the name of the port itself. One of the examples in pkgtools.conf is apache-1.3.* and Ms. Lavigne's article (cf. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/18/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2) also uses a -* wildcard, although at second reading, there is no real indication of why the author uses the wildcard. Because the ImageMagick port name can change based on build options, I have changed the wildcard to ImageMagick*. Note this dialogue: # portupgrade -N ImageMagick (portupgrade successfully finds the build args in pkgtools.conf, and builds and installs the port) # portupgrade -n ImageMagick --- Session started at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:39:33 -0700 ** No such installed package: ImageMagick ** None has been installed or upgraded. --- Session ended at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:39:33 -0700 (consumed 00:00:00) Here we see that despite building successfully, an immediately subsequent upgrade of the same portname fails, with portupgrade claiming that the port is not installed. However, # portupgrade -n ImageMagick-nox11 --- Session started at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:46:22 -0700 ** No need to upgrade 'ImageMagick-nox11-6.2.2.1' (= ImageMagick-nox11-6.2.2.1).

I know it is not a configuration issue on the NFS server, as it previously worked fine, and the only change I have made recently is to wipe and install the client. What setting on the client allows root to write to NFS mounted directories? I don't think there is one, but I could be wrong. There is a setting which enables/disables global write access to the partition. Use mount -o rw -u /mountpoint to remount it as read-write, if it's read-only now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Changing the region code of DVD-Drive

So does this mean that if I already switched between region 1 and region 2 DVDs 100+ times, that the drive has already been flashed to RPC1 by the vendor? The drives I've dealt with seem to have a bit of nvram somewhere that when you set it to region 1 the first time that you play a DVD in it, a flag is set in that nvram. The patches appear to make the DVD drive ignore the setting of that flag, as a result it seems immaterial what you have done with the drive pre-patch. It appears that this drive has been patched by the reseller or someone up the chain. I didn't know I was so lucky! :-) BTW, almost all flashers are DOS oder Windows-based. Do we have a FreeBSD-based general purpose flasher for this kind of stuff? Since I think it's illegal to do this in the first place I would say be happy they exist at all. ;-) You mean illegal in *some* countries... I've googled a bit and found a couple of IDE fireware flashers for Linux. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt to FreeBSD, given enough junk drives to experiement with and throw away... ;) BTW, not every flashing is illegitimate, not even in DMCA-land: just think of legitimate fireware upgrades, using images from the manufacturers.
