Since upgrading to FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8, and completeing a ports cvsup (29 Oct) and portsupgade -arR I have been getting the following error when the gnome desktop starts and during shutdown. FreeFontPath: FPE /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

Re: New Logo
IMHO a logo, or a new logo, was necessary for technical reasons. Less colors, vectorable, more modern look. I really like the Beastie character, but it's too complicated a design to use directly as a logo, at least I think so. I actually don't believe this logo was created to placate an extremely religious minority. If it really was, then that was an extremely stupid move, because you can never placate people of that caliber, no matter what you do - Flying Spaghetti Monster anyone? As usual, we're now entering the phase of metadiscussion. 4.10: Thou shalt not commit bikesheds.

FreeBSD auth
Hello list,
I'm a newbie in freebsd programming and i need some
docs hints in order to port a program from linux to
FreeBSD.
The piece of code is:
..
struct spwd* shadow=getspnam(name);
if(!shadow)
{
.
}
char *key=crypt(passwd,shadow-sp_pwdp);
if(!key)
{
}
if(strncmp(shadow-sp_pwdp,key,strlen(shadow-sp_pwdp))==0)
{
/*login success*/
}
else
{
/*login failed*/
}
I realize that in FreeBSD master.passwd is the
replacement for linux shadow file.
Is there a function to parse it?
And how can i obtain the hash string?
Thanks in advance for any help.

periodic scripts execution order
Hi, I have a question regarding the execution order of periodic scripts. In the default configuration, scripts in /etc/periodic/*/ are executed before /usr/local/etc/periodic/*/, regardless of numbering. Surely the sensible thing to do would be to execute scripts in an order based on their numbering of the script, regardless of location? A patch to /usr/sbin/periodic to make this happen would be fairly trivial ... so, I'm wondering if there is a reason that the two are run separately? The way it currently runs there is no (elegant) way (that I can find) to write a local script which updates data before the system scripts are run. This would be nice to have. Should this be filed as a bug? Thanks in advance, Russell -- echo http://russell.rucus.net/spam/| sed 's,t/.*,t,;P;s,.*//,,;s,\.,@,;' smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

I chose to move from Linux to freeBSD in large part because of the quality of the community and documentation. Public fits on the maillists do more damage to any attempt at large corporate acceptance than a new logo might help. Yes, because PHBs and non-techs spend much of their time researching and culling through online forums and archives when making decisions about what servers to use in their IT department. It's hard enough just getting techies to RTFM and Google for previous solutions... Plus, it's VERY professional to non-techs to have them look answers up online instead of through a dedicated support contract with a large company, and with polished manuals and updates handed to the client in shiny wrappers. Oh, and most companies I know of shine up their image by asking their employee grunts to come up with a new logo to present to the public. I mean, what can a professionally paid service do that a bunch of bike-shedders can't? Please. FreeBSD, Linux, most of open source...they're controlled chaos. The fact this stuff has worked is utterly amazing to the suits...the right personality types reign in control and keep the cats...er, programmers...for the most part in line, with little or no promise of payment. By conventional wisdom the open source model has worked, and it shouldn't have. Now people are talking about polishing up the image to get it into the corporate world to sell it as if it were a finished product...it's like someone found the project and wants to shoehorn it into the conventional sales and development model. Tech people have been sneaking BSD, Linux, and assorted projects into the corporate realm all on their own, and it's been growing in areas where you'd expect low cost back-ends would be a boon for the technology-savvy (private web sites, home servers, geek projects...). People made a profit with these projects by creating their own companies with their own logos to customize projects or tweak them and offer their own support for their distros. Never has there been a Linux company...but there has been a Red Hat, or a SuSE, to fill the niche. The projects stood alone. All the bickering and attempts to polish BSD for some imaginary marketing department is like watching kids on a playground make a better sand castle. The guys doing real marketing and polishing? Apple, with Darwin. And that's only partially based on BSD. People telling others to just fork and do their own project for control...how about starting an actual company, like Red Hat did, to market and build off of and give back to the project? Why must FreeBSD become political and have an attempt to become the company? Let it go on it's own and let others pick up the mantle to create a company to offer service and support. Let the geeks work with FreeBSD and let the users and marketers use a company-packaged version if that's their liking. b - I think that sharing a common daemon logo/mascot with the other BSDs is a good thing. Linux has done well with the various penguin effects. Don't worry too much about this. Just accept what users already have adopted. Sharing the logo/mascot was a traditional thing. It's a reference to a shared history...it's there for a reason. And please stop with the top posting.

First of all the ENTIRE point of this new logo is to increase USE of FreeBSD among the people that allegedly will not use it because of religious devil objections. IN SHORT, this logo is FOR THE USERS, NOT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE PROJECT. This is factually incorrect. The purpose of having a logo to replace the mascot as a logo was to project a more professional image. And that is for the people in the project who want to see FreeBSD taken more seriously as well as for the users. Beastie is a toy and unprofessional. He is fun and can be a great mascot. But he is not a logo. As a similar example: Apple Computer used to have a nice multi- colored Apple logo. It was nice, but kind of toy-like and got old. Apple replaced it with a much more professional looking modernized one-color version. There was nothing wrong with the old version except that it got old and dated and looked unprofessional and more toy-like. Same (generally speaking) is needed with FreeBSD. FreeBSD needs to take a step upwards and become more professional looking. So think a lot of users and obviously project members. There is a minority who is offended by Beastie. I can't help that. A logo coincidentally solves their problem as well, but that is not the main point. If you think so you need to pull your head out of your dogmatic sandpile.

The OS didn't come this far from following what was acceptable in the mainstream. Well that may not be entirely true but the point I am trying to make is that not using an OS based on what the logo is a lot like not hiring someone based on their looks. While I know this happens these days, it is not company I would ever chose to work for. The reasons are simple1) it is just plain wrong, and 2) I am an UGLY dude! My mom always told me that it is inside that counts and this is no different.

Cross device link / FTP

diskless FreeBSD with grub
Hi, I want to boot diskless into FreeBSD-5.4 with grub. I've setup dhcp to provide boot and ip information, tftp to load the kernel and nfs to share the root filesystem. It runs smoothly when I use the pxeloader from FreeBSD, but I can't get it working with Grub. I tried this grub configuration: snip title bsd-nfsroot kernel (nd)/kernel/kernel ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=141.2.71.253:/dta/fBSD_diskless boot /snip It loads the kernel, but does not boot. My guess is that it doesn't find the root partition. This one: snip title bsd-nfsroot kernel (nd)/loader ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=141.2.71.253:/dta/fBSD_diskless boot /snip loader says it can't find the kernel. And this one: snip title bsd-nfsroot kernel (nd)/pxeboot ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=141.2.71.253:/dta/fBSD_diskless boot /snip grub complains that pxeboot is not a correct executable I have spent hours digging the web without a solution. I would really appreciate it, if someone could help or give me a pointer to helpful resources. The background of the problem: I manage the software installation on a router-testbed. It consist of 24 identical x86-systems, with different local OS installation. When a system boots, it load GRUB via PXE from a server. The grub menu is generated dynamically from a configuration file, which determines what OS the system should start. For administration purposes, among other things software distribution, you can configure the systems to boot a diskless linux system via nfs (this works). But as some users run FreeBSD and Linux can't access UFS2-partitions, a diskless FreeBSD-image is required.

54_STABLE kernel doesn't boot for me
I updated my 5.4 stable source tree yesterday and rolled a new kernel with SMP for my dual Xeon, 2.4GHz PowerEdge. It froze on boot after saying something to the effect: AS started on CPU #1... It looks like it recognizes 4 processors (HTT) but it won't ever boot with the SMP kernel. I first thought maybe it was something in ULE, but I put the 4BSD scheduler back in and that didn't fix it. I can boot on my stock, non-SMP kernel and I've turned hyperthreading on, so it can recognize the first one. But the kernel that just has one extra line (options SMP) in it won't boot. There's no logging or anything because it hangs before it can write any of that stuff. I'm not doing anything strange. loader.conf and sysctl.conf only have settings for my hardware and to tweak the time slicing. I'm updating userland stuff now, thinking maybe something in userland broke the new kernel, but I can't figure out what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :-) -- Thanks!

Sure enough, uploading and downloading through those symlinks works fine, but not moving a file. I found the problem on line 4024 of the ftpd.c file in pure-ftpd. It uses the rename command to move the files, which will fail if the files are on different file systems. Do you explicitly require this functionality in the ftp server, rather than just performing this via a shell session? The problem is that there is not a similer C function call for copy, so you can't just drop a replacement in. I would consult with the pure-ftpd mailing list on this. The quick and easy solutions to this are glaring security holes, so I might consult with them over a way around this.

Re: New Logo
Folks, Re: the new logo Although it may be reasonable to create a FreeBSD logo to supplant the Beastie mascot, unfortunately this thing that has seemingly won a contest is not a logo. It is really just another mascot, this time with a kind of Pokemon kind of look to it. Now that is fine if you want yet another mascot with a somewhat different look. But, if you are looking for a logo to represent FreeBSD, this doesn't do it. It doesn't look rock stable, or powerful. It doesn't represent a server nor a network tool nor a data processor and, despite its Pokemon appearance, not even like a game server. It doesn't have anything about it that looks like an open source community supported project. Actually, it makes me think more of that flighty thing they have to catch in the Quidich game in Harry Potter, only in a different color. Which doesn't represent either stability or service to me, but rather elusiveness and unmanageability. So, it's cute, sort of, if you like those sort of things. But, it is not a _logo_ to represent FreeBSD.

1. Show us the actual error you get.
2. Even if you just want the JVM you probably are better off installing
one of the JDKs. 1.1.8 is pretty old, 1.5 is Sun's current version. I
assume JRE 1.1.8 is in the ports for legacy reasons only.

It might be worth while if you can get a second disk, to do a dump, or dd of the first disk over to it, and then trying to fsck with a newer version on the copy (so you can go back if you need to). FreeSBIE would be an ideal choice for this: http://www.freesbie.org (eg. put the two disks in a machine, boot from the FreeSBIE CD, copy the one disk over, fsck the copy, and then try and boot the copy).

I hope some of the people acting the same way aren't representative of the freebsd community. So much is said about the mature community of freebsd and so much derision often directed to linux script kiddies. Well this post makes me long to read a list of slashdot replies. And if you're referring using the beastie on his book The Complete FreeBSD, I hardly think it was responsible for it's success. Might have something to do with being one of the best books on FreeBSD sysadmin out there at the moment. Can't comment on his other books, haven't read them. Anyway I'm sure he could defend himself, not that he needs to. The point is, why is everyone making things personal? Like a personal attack on the artist who made the logo? If you don't like a piece of art, or music, it doesn't mean the artist or composer is a loser, it's just your personal opinion. If you say you don't like it, people respect your opinion.
