Re: portupgrade stale dependencies
I ended up deinstalling that apache installation (which I was not keen on doing), and installing the apache20 port (which was the same version (2.0.55) as the apache2 port ?), and, thankfully, it's working fine. I'm also now able to run both 'pkgdb -F'and 'portsdb -Uu' without ANY errors (except for a few 'Duplicate INDEX entry' warnings). Needless to say, this process wasn't much fun. What can I do to keep this from happening again? What can/can't I safely include in cron to automate database and index maintenance? Thanks to all. What I do for critical system ports is a manual upgrade. I have never trusted any of the port management tools. I suggest you pay attention to bugtracker and some other sites. When you see a compelling reason to upgrade, do it manually.

reusing existing mysql permissions/dbs/tables after update
mysql was among the many ports I just upgraded, and (of course) I can now no longer connect using mysql or mysqladmin. I've tried just about every method I've found including starting the daemon with the --skip-grant-tables option to reset the password (which has worked in the past), and most every other suggestion listed in section 5.7.8 of the MySQL reference manual. It seems like running the mysql_install_db script might do the trick... but if I understand correctly, running this script will re-initialize the grant tables... correct? Is there another way of regaining access to mysql, without losing the current relationships between dBs/tables and their users? Or, how can I get to the current grant information (in human-readable format), so that I can restore it later?

These boards seem to use PCI express, and I was wondering how well supported is that? What about SLI? Is anyone running an amd64 system with dual dvi tft's? Are there any dual dvi cards supported ? Anyone running with two dvi cards? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful, Which Nvidia drivers are you checking out? The propritary Nvidia drivers defiantly do Daullink DVI.

FreeBSD 5.3 with openldap
Hi all I've some question about FreeBSD 5.3 using Openldap authentication server. Everthing work fine, but it's very slow to do something like ls -l. For each line there're a connection between the serveur and the Openldap server. On my Linux I can use some cache like nscd.

We have got information saying this is a 64bit related issue and should be fixed by using the i386 version instead of amd64 (this is an Intel Xeon). Where did you get that information from? I'd still like to know an answer to this question. I got information from a guy working on the floor below us, although his thoughts were only that amd64 is a bit unstable so that should be the problem What is the way to go when moving from amd64 to i386 ? If you mean how do I install an i386 kernel on this machine, I can't think of any way except to start from scratch. It would be a good idea to install a separate disk, so you can access the configuration files and the database on the old disk. But before doing this, I'd be very interested in knowing what the problem is. Is the backtrace always the same? Where does it crash? After doing some testing this is what I found out: 1) Exchanging memory on the machine did not work. Same error. 2) Trying it on another 64 bit machine with same FreeBSD (RC1) creates EXACT same problem 3) Installing the i386 version of RC1 instead of amd64 on the same machines and it works terrific. No crash. Hmm. That's interesting. This is obviously not a hardware issue. The bt is always the same and it always crash the same, look here: #784 0x in ?? () #785 0x247c8d48002454ff in ??

() Cannot access memory at address 0x8000 Without function names instead of ??, it's impossible to say what's happening here. You'd need to build with debug symbols. Since you've been told that this is an issue, it would be good to know more. As we've mentioned on other threads, there are reasons to believe that there are problems with the threading libraries, but currently we don't have enough information to investigate them. Note that the other recent thread refers to problems running in the configuration you have just installed: see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12251 for more details. If you see anything similar, please let us know. After doing alot of testing and trying this is some more new information: It actually DO crash on i386 FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 aswell, but very seldom (around once every 4-5th hour, this time we get a Signal 10 instead, see below). The errors are reproducable for MySQL 4.1.15 and MySQL 5.0.15 so the problem still exists on 5.0.15. Of course we have tried on different machines aswell to make sure it's not hardware related. On a FreeBSD 5.3 machine Mysql 4.1.15 works fine. mysqld got signal 10; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=1048576 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=99 max_connections=400 threads_connected=44 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 461820 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can a process be made immune to out-of-swap-space kills?
Sometimes, I accidentally run something that eats up too much memory and causes the pager to run out of swap space and start shooting down processes to rectify the situation. Sometimes, the process chosen for demolition happens to be `screen.' Since this process sorta manages a whole lot of others and, on being zapped out of existence, leaves many of them running but inaccessible, I find this choice decidedly inconvenient.

Unable to perform clean shutdown.
Hi list, I am experimenting with using FreeBSD as a desktop OS (with Xorg and GNOME), and because I still need to keep Windows around for certain applications, I have decided to create 3 partitions (or slices in the BSD world). One NTFS, for Windows (ad8s1, 40GiB), one for FreeBSD (ad8s2, 20GiB) and one Ext2 partition to share data between the two OSs (ad8s3, taking up the rest of the disk). The disk itself is a S-ATA disk, and identified during boot-up as: ad8: 190782MB WDC WD2000JD-00HBB0/08.02D08 [387621/16/63] at ata4-master UDMA33 I chose Ext2 as it would allow me to still use UNIX permissions under FreeBSD, and could be read from and written to in Windows using a third-party driver. Because neither FreeBSD nor the Ext2 driver in Windows support Ext3 journalling I figured there was no point in using that. My problem is, and I believe it started after I created the Ext2 partition, that my system is not able to perform a clean shutdown anymore. When I do a shutdown -p now or reboot it will sync the disks but then says Giving up on 8 buffers. right before it turns off, is that normal? When FreeBSD boots the next time it will complain and tells me WARNING: / was not properly dismounted., it does this for all the FreeBSD partitions (/var, /tmp, /usr). It also appears that the fsck for Ext2 (which I had to install from ports and then manually copy the e2fsck and fsck_ext2fs binaries from /usr/local/sbin to /sbin) also has some issues, as it outputs the following during boot-up: fsck_ext2fs: unknown option -F Dispite that, the next thing happens is a forced fsck of the Ext2 partition (which takes a while). Then eventually FreeBSD boots and GDM starts and all seems to be in working order. This is what my /etc/fstab looks like: # Device Mountpoint FStype OptionsDump Pass# /dev/ad8s2bnoneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad8s2a/ ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad8s2e/tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad8s2f/usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad8s2d/varufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto,noexec 0 0 /dev/ad8s1 /mnt/windowsntfsro,noexec 0 0 /dev/ad8s3 /mnt/shared ext2fs rw 0 2 Does anyone know what causes my system not to be able to perform a clean shutdown anymore? and, does anyone know what the deal with fsck_ext2fs being called with a non-existent -F options is? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Enumerating a Windows based PC from a FreeBSD based server
Hi, I am trying to document which managed switch port (HP 4000m), a users PC is plugged into. I had thought to use a login script to dump some info into a MySQL DB, but I am now leaning on scanning the switch, and build up the data backwards from there. The info will all end up on a PHP searchable web page. I should then be able to track admin logins (does anyone know the passwd?), have some users given their username and passwd to someone else to use? Etc. I have found the SNMP OID's of the IP and MAC addresses and the switch port number the computer is plugged into. From a DNS lookup, I can find the PC name, but how do I find out the current logged in user name on the PC, remotely from a FreeBSD server? The GFI LanGuard network scanner is a very informative tool: http://www.gfi.com/lannetscan/ so having something similar to this on a FreeBSD server would be great. The utility must of course be scriptable.

If you still have a problem, pls list mboard, controller, and give output of fdisk and bsdlabel.

wrkdirprefix default?
Hello. Sometime back, I posted a message mentioning that I planned on installing OpenOffice once it reached 2.0 status on my FreeBSD machine using a nonstandard wrkdirprefix path (original email is shown via the below link). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=184696+187981+/usr/local/ www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20050918.freebsd-questions One reply was that I can use env WRKDIRPREFIX=/myotherlocation make install This is fine for installing it, but I was wondering was there a good way of modifying WRKDIRPREFIX to always point to this location only for OpenOffice.org, that way I can use portupgrade in the future and not have to worry about it? I am assuming the best way of dealing with this is with the file /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. assume that I could put it inside of the MAKE_ARGS section. What is the most optimal way of modifying this file for what I have mentioned above? I have read the pkgtools.conf and ports manpages (and am still slightly confused) and am running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. If the only way to do this is by modifying the variable on the whole so everything is built elsewhere, I suppose that is alright as well. If this is the only way, what is the preferred way of handling this? Thank you all for your assistance. -Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
firewall messages to syslogd
Hello, How can I add firewall log messages to syslogd, I have added the following lines to the syslog.conf: # router +router *.* /var/log/router.log Also, syslogd is running with the flag -a with the ip address of the firewall -- the mask, and service. The computer receive the packets to the 514 port -- I've used tcpdump to log the packets -- but the messages are not logged into the router.log file. Thanks.

Re: Can a process be made immune to out-of-swap-space kills?

Sometimes, the process chosen for demolition happens to be `screen.' Since this process sorta manages a whole lot of others and, on being zapped out of existence, leaves many of them running but inaccessible, I find this choice decidedly inconvenient. Is there a way for me to force FreeBSD to leave `screen' (or any other process) alone when selecting something to kill to free memory? Hmmm, why are user limits not applied? Wouldn't it be a nicer way to solve the rogue process problems? It turns out that the problem is not actually a memory request but a huge temp file in an MFS filesystem... so maybe I need to figure out how to limit the size of a mount_mfs so it can't blast processes out of existence. For the curious, I had tried a sox ... reverse operation, which reverses a wav file (and apparently does it by making a temporary copy rather than reading it backward, which I didn't know!), and the file in question was a wav about 240 megabytes long. This is a small home FreeBSD box and almost never hosts any user but me. My /tmp, a mount_mfs, is about 150 meg in size, according to `df.' The `sox' command ate that up so fast that the sheer volume of swap failure messages prevented me from acting quickly enough, and the pager shot down a whole bunch of processes trying to save the world. The list of shot processes happened to include `screen,' and this created a number of orphans that I had to kill subsequently myself, such as a stranded `ssh' session to another machine. So yes, I could stand for some tuning. On a multi-user system, this would be a most unwise way to leave things. -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.dlee.org SSB + BART Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com I before E, except after C, or when sounded like A, as in neighbor and weigh, except for when weird foreign concierges seize neither leisure nor science from the height of society. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Enumerating a Windows based PC from a FreeBSD based server - Resolved
Hi, OK, after a lot more searching of the ports system - nothing found so far. Something joggled a neuron to have a look at what samba utils could tell me. By running: nmblookup -A IP Number or PC name it quickly returns a nice list of info. All I need to do then is grep for '03' and exclude the PC name to have a list of users logged into that PC or Server. I have only done hand testing. I will whip up a script, and test it out during a work day to see how it goes ;-) Cool.

Hello,
I'm looking for a good sed howto that can be useful for contributing to

Besides, could somebody explain me, when we use USE_REINPLACE= YES and

It isn't a HOWTO, but the best sed documentation I've ever read is in the
book ``Unix Text Processing'' by Dougherty and O'Reilly. I think it's out
of print, but you can download it in PDF format from O'Reilly for free. It
also has excellent documentation on quite a few other *nix utilities, and
is one of those books that I think should be on every *nix hackers
bookshelf along with Kernighan and Pike's ``Unix Programming Environment''.
