AAC_COMPAT_LINUX?

[Scott Ballantyne]

It seems the AAC_COMPAT_LINUX kernel option that I needed to run
aaccli for an Adaptec RAID card (2120s) is no longer available in
5.3. Is there a replacement, or another way to run aaccli?

Thanks,

 Should I make deinstall? And if so, why, since it doesn't need to upgrade?

Did you run the perl-after-upgrade script with the '-f' flag so it
actually does anything?  This symptom occurs when the pkg system
thinks a package is installed (because there's an entry in
/var/db/pkgs) but perl can't find the corresponding module, because
it's in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.X with X != 8.

Forcing a reinstall of p5-Test-Harness would also work.

Starting privoxy at startup

[Oliver Iberien]

I can start privoxy manually with
/usr/local/sbin/privoxy /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config

I added this to /etc/rc.conf:
privoxy_enable=YES
privoxy_flags=/usr/local/etc/privoxy/config

but that does not seem to do it. I tried putting a link in /etc/rc.d/ to the 
privoxy.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but that didn't do it, either. How do I 
get it to start?

don't see the
problem really.


The problem is that in reality 2 versions of the code exist,
both with your copyright.  One is the version that has the
redistribution right grant, the other is the version without.
In many cases of course the one without is merely a legal
fiction.  It is actually a lot more common to see this in GPL
code, for example mySQL is this way.

What happens 10 years from now when my company has used your
code in my product, and you get hit by a bus and your heirs come
out of the woodwork claiming I am infringing on your work and I
owe them money.  What if the software you wrote isn't available
with the unrestricted redistribution license on it anymore on any
public archive and I cannot cough up an expert witness to
testify in a court that you did in fact once release the code
as unrestricted?  Then it's my word against your heirs.  And
in the US courts always side with the copyright holder.

Before scoffing consider the case of these software packages:

MI/X   X-server for Windows
acitslpr   LPR daemon for Win98
winftp   FTP program for Windows - with source
WS FTP LE edition  FTP program for Windows
dimension 4 - ntp software for windows.
gated source  -bgp routing daemon
Ingres - database software

Every one of them came out originally as free to use software.
winftp in particular came out as free software plus source included,
under a BSD-like license.

Every one subsequently was taken commercial.  Some are still free for
home use but not for commercial use, and their authors
made extensive and strenuous efforts to find every archive site
on the Internet that had the original free-licensed copies and
threaten the maintainers to remove the software.  gated was free
while at Cornell, when Merit took it over they made it free for
non-commercial use but not free for commercial use, nowadays it's
only commercial.

Now, all of these packages have (fortunately) now been superseded.
But the point is that unless your code is immediately incorporated
in a large project with some history - like FreeBSD - it can get lost.

Think of all the ports in FreeBSD, the smaller ones come and go.
For example have you ever tried downloading the original free
bonnie source?  People still cite bonnie as a disk tester - but
the bonnie program you find today on a google search isn't the
same bonnie.


 to the University, it assures any future entity that there will never
 be any question of copyight rights to use the work since the UCB
 obviously
 isn't difficult to find, and is not likely to dry up and disappear.

s/University/FSF and s/BSD/GPL and you have a heated debate :)

 This is why FreeBSD is copyrighted The FreeBSD Project and
 not the individual developers copyrights.


That's certainly not the case for the code used in FreeBSD,
only for the
FreeBSD trademark I think. Look at a random file in src.


No, it really is.  Look at COPYRIGHT in /.

I feel so silly :)
Thank you for pointing that out.

Yes, I am searching the command-line way for having virtual
e-mail users and virtual domains.

I've set up and configured Postfix, Courier-IMAP and SASL.

According to (a revised setup of) high5.net/howto, this is all I need:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS mail;
GRANT ALL ON mail.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'fooBehej';

USE mail;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS alias (
  address varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  goto text NOT NULL,
  domain varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  created datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  modified datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  active tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY (address),
  KEY address (address)
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Postfix virtual aliases';

USE mail;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS domain (
  domain varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  description varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  aliases int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  mailboxes int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  maxquota int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  transport varchar(255) default NULL,
  backupmx tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  created datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  modified datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  active tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY (domain),
  KEY domain (domain)
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Postfix virtual domains';

USE mail;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mailbox (
  username varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  password varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  maildir varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  quota int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  domain varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  created datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',

But then, unfortunately, Postfixadmin to properly govern these.
Aren't there any alternatives?

RE: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Hi Mark,

  The only way you can really lock it down is to statically assign
everything (either with a DHCP server that has a table of mac addresses)
and maintain an accurate list of mac addresses, and use managed switches
that have filtering capabilities.

  We do this on bridged DSL networks (except for the managed switch part)
and it's actually a lot easier to manage that most people think.

  What you have to do is when a new person hooks into the network,
you give them a test IP address, you ping that, get their MAC for that,
then hard code that into your DHCP server and tell them to switch
over to DHCP to get their permanent address.  Once they do that, hard-
code the IP address and mac in the router ARP table, and install a
filter on the switch port going to them that ignores any traffic
that originates from a different MAC than the one that you probed
from them.

Ted

Good day,


  We are trying to reorganize our local area network and I need
some tips on how you are managing your own lan...

  We have a vanilla pc router with interface facing our private
lan and interface facing the Internet.

 One problem which we are experiencing right now is that any
user from private lan can use any ip address he wants. If he
boots his computer with a stolen ip address, the poor owner of
that machine(not active at the moment) will give automatically
up his ip address to this user. The same scenario for public ip
addresses. Basically, we need to track down the users through
their ip address.. But this is trivial as of now since anyone
can use any ip he wants. Even if there is a solution out there
to tie up his mac address to his ip address..(sort of checking
the mac first before giving him an ip, possibly through dhcp..)
still, users can just download applications which will enable
him to change his mac address

 Now, where thinking about authenticating users before he is
allowed to use a particular network service(internet proxy,
mail etc.) because I guess it is a clever way of keeping the
bad users from doing something bad within your network when
after all, the reason why he is plugging his lancard to the
network is to use a particular service. However, it still
doesn't keep them from playing around and steal other ip
addresses or mac addresses and thus denying network access to
those legitimate owners. I'm thinking about tying dhcp with
authentication, and freeradius comes to mind.. I just need some
more tips from you. User's workstations are mixed Windows and
*nixes. Some have laptops with wireless interfaces.

  Any idea how to handle this situations??
  Thanks...

the user. Now the user must think of all the checks that can fail while - in
this case - authenticating, which is rather silly when you think of it,
because the su-command, just did exactly the same, and could have easily

RHE has its ways, fbsd has others. it's not that hard to carry over
really...you can make an simple  cheatsheet for your engineeres.


IMHO, it's quite simple in Freebsd:
 - if service is part of the base os, script is located in /etc/rc.d
 - if service is something you have installed, it's located
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Likewise, configuration for base services go in /etc, configuration for
ports goes in /usr/local/etc/

( If you can't tell what is part of the base OS or what is added...you
may have other issues at hand :) )

Since you don't have the SysV style scripts in BSD, what gets run
(base-system or added-from-ports) is defined in /etc/rc.conf (default
options for base services are in /etc/defaults/rc.conf . options for
services from ports are usually in the port documentation or the
startup script)

Regardless of this, scripts in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
take the same params as RHE : start, stop, restart, status (+ custom
ones in some services/ports).

so 'service network restart' = /etc/rc.d/netif restart

etc

( I realise you probably know all this, but i have been asked this
quite a few times...so I might as well put it down for the archives :) 

Hope it helped someone :)

There is a way to su root anyway.
Should you read su(1) and pam.conf(5), you see that your ability to su root 
depends on the
/etc/pam.d/su
For the first time, you can delete this file, and you will be able to su 
anybody always. But this is not a good way for security reasons.
Then read pam.conf(5) and edit the /etc/pam.d/su in a way allowing you to su

Re: USB external drive size limitations?

[Chandan Haldar]

I faced the exact same problem recently with my 250GB
iOmega external harddisk with a single FAT32 partition
which I needed mounted on my FreeBSD 6.0 Release
system.  I needed this to be mounted rw, so the
MSDOSFS_LARGE option was no help.  After some
cajoling, iomega folks confirmed that partitioning the disk
into multiple partitions should present no issues (although
for some reason best known to themselves, on their support
website they explicitly discourage users doing this).

To cut the long story short, I chose to partition the 256GB
disk into 2 128GB FAT32 partitions.  Both the partitions
show up (as /dev/da*) and mount rw nicely on FreeBSD
(and also on Windoze as usual).

To be on the safe side, I moved the data back and forth
between my fixed harddisks and the external disk before
and after repartitioning the external HDD, but iomega said
that using content-preserving repartitioning software such
as partitionmagic should be possible to use without any
issues on their disk.

RE: AAC_COMPAT_LINUX?

[Tamouh H.]

 
 It seems the AAC_COMPAT_LINUX kernel option that I needed to 
 run aaccli for an Adaptec RAID card (2120s) is no longer 
 available in 5.3. Is there a replacement, or another way to 
 run aaccli?
 
 Thanks,
 sdb

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You don't need the AAC_COMPAT_LINUX option enabled. Do you have linux binaries 
installed ? run kldstat  to check you should see linux.ko

If not installed, check this:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html

Once all done and you can see linux binaries, go to the Port:

/usr/ports/sysutil/aaccli

 make install distclean

This will install aaccli, or you can just copy the file aaccli from the files 
folder and put it in /usr/bin which will also work.

Note, If you have upgraded your RAID card to the latest Adaptec firmware (like 
I did) aaccli will not work. I think Adaptec is working on a new utility for 
FreeBSD, but so far it is no go.

Good luck,

Re: what is the process for migrating a pre-built kernel to a new machine?

[Fabian Keil]

Jonathan Horne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 So if when you say copy the kernel, do you just mean the contents

 there more to it?

You should make sure that userland and the new kernel are in sync.
 
 The reason I'm asking, is that I always plan for disaster recovery,
 and after a build, easily the single longest task for bringing my
 particular system totally back online, is compiling the kernel (im
 still running my 5 year old dual p3 800).  For time's sake during
 recovery, I would like to skip at least that process.

If you do a make installkernel /boot/kernel is copied
to /boot/kernel.old. If your new kernel doesn't work,
you can still use your old one.

Of course if you build two broken kernels in a row,
the kernel from /boot/kernel.old doesn't work either,
therefore it doesn't hurt to copy a known to work kernel
directory to /boot/whatever, to make sure it's not
overwritten.
 
 Can you give me more specifics on exactly what should be moved/copied?

It depends on your kernel configuration.

The easiest way to make sure you don't forget anything is to
export /usr/src and /usr/obj on your build machine, mount them
on the target machine and run make installkernel from there.

RE: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??

[Jonathan Horne]

You make it sound like they are doing it on purpose.  Could it be the lease
duration is so short that the ips are going back into the pool before they
are truly abandoned by the original user?  If you look at the behavior of
the MS DHCP server, the lease duration is 8 days (with standard 4 day
renewal).  If it takes 8 days for it to back into the pool, this should be
more than enough time for a user to go home for the weekend, and hopefully
get the same ip when they get back to work.  I would suggest increasing the
lease duration time and see if that stops users from stepping on each others
dhcp leases (don't forget, in the typical dhcp-request conversation, the
client asks hey, I had x.x.x.x last, is it still available for me?  you
want the server to be able to say sure).  On my freebsd router, the DHCP
server came with a 1 hour lease duration (which causes a 30 minute renewal..
IMO this is too fast).

Second, you mentioned that users could just download software that would
allow them to change their mac address.  It sounds like some users have too
high a rights assignment, if they are causing mischief like that.

Cheers,
jonathan

Hi Mark,

  The only way you can really lock it down is to statically assign
everything (either with a DHCP server that has a table of mac addresses)
and maintain an accurate list of mac addresses, and use managed switches
that have filtering capabilities.

  We do this on bridged DSL networks (except for the managed switch part)
and it's actually a lot easier to manage that most people think.

  What you have to do is when a new person hooks into the network,
you give them a test IP address, you ping that, get their MAC for that,
then hard code that into your DHCP server and tell them to switch
over to DHCP to get their permanent address.  Once they do that, hard-
code the IP address and mac in the router ARP table, and install a
filter on the switch port going to them that ignores any traffic
that originates from a different MAC than the one that you probed
from them.

Subject: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??


Good day,


  We are trying to reorganize our local area network and I need
some tips on how you are managing your own lan...

  We have a vanilla pc router with interface facing our private
lan and interface facing the Internet.

 One problem which we are experiencing right now is that any
user from private lan can use any ip address he wants. If he
boots his computer with a stolen ip address, the poor owner of
that machine(not active at the moment) will give automatically
up his ip address to this user. The same scenario for public ip
addresses. Basically, we need to track down the users through
their ip address.. But this is trivial as of now since anyone
can use any ip he wants. Even if there is a solution out there
to tie up his mac address to his ip address..(sort of checking
the mac first before giving him an ip, possibly through dhcp..)
still, users can just download applications which will enable
him to change his mac address

 Now, where thinking about authenticating users before he is
allowed to use a particular network service(internet proxy,
mail etc.) because I guess it is a clever way of keeping the
bad users from doing something bad within your network when
after all, the reason why he is plugging his lancard to the
network is to use a particular service. However, it still
doesn't keep them from playing around and steal other ip
addresses or mac addresses and thus denying network access to
those legitimate owners. I'm thinking about tying dhcp with
authentication, and freeradius comes to mind.. I just need some
more tips from you. User's workstations are mixed Windows and
*nixes. Some have laptops with wireless interfaces.

  Any idea how to handle this situations??
  Thanks...

USB drive does not mount anymore

[Peter]

Hi, I've run into a very frustrating problem and I hope someone can
advise.

I acquired two 200 GB USB drives of the same model* and I had tested
them both on a 5.4-STABLE and a 6.0-STABLE system.  Both had a dislabel
on /dev/da0s1d and were working fine.  I transported my 6.0 gear to
another location (by car); set up both drives; and tested them.  All
good.  Later in the evening I could no longer access one of the drives;
it could not be mounted:

umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR
umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR
umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR

I cam back home to my 5.4 system and I experience the same problem.

What happened and how should I proceed?

Re: TCP delayed acks not being delayed?

On Saturday 25 March 2006 21:25, Bill Moran wrote:

 Are you sure you're not exceeding the capability of the system to delay
 acks?

I would have thought not, it maxes-out with a receive space of 15k, and 
increasing the setting from 20k to 32k had no effect.

 Besides, when you're transferring data in one
 direction only, it doesn't make sense to delay empty acks.  only on a
 full-duplex transmissions do you get a benefit by taking measures to
 ensure that all packets have data.  When you're downloading, _all_ your
 acks are empty, so who cares?

I though I might be seeing a bug.  I was only measuring it because I was 
thinking of switching to pf/altq and I wanted to know how much to allow for 
empty-acks. 

However, I hadn't done the arithmetic before, and I was surprized to see that 
13% of my upload was being used. On a 4MB connection, that would be over half 
the bandwidth. Delayed acks don't affect the download speed on one tcp 
connection, but they could improve the performance of other traffic, when a 
download is taking place over a very asymmetric link.

 Additionally, if the client application turns nagle off, this will
 disable the use of delayed acks.  For things like file transfer, it's
 pretty much typical practice to disable nagle,

I guess that explains it.

The port does seem to be a Linux one now -- it used to be a FreeBSD

Is there a way to tell the FreeBSD port of Cyrus to use these options?

dependencies

[Steven Lake]

	Hi all.  Ok, I'm having a total brain fart today.  I've got a few apps 
that won't run and I need to find out the list of dependencies and what 
they're missing.  But I can't remember for the life of me what the command 
I need is to view that list.  I remember using it once where it would list 
the dependencies and tell either where they existed, or if they didn't 
exist, what the missing file was.  Anyone remember that command?  Thanks.

An easy way would be to cd into the directory of the specific cyrus port 
you want, and type 'make config'. This will let you choose configuration 
options without actually installing the port. If you want to change 
something later, just run 'make config' again.

I use pkg_info -Rr pkg_name, where pkg_name is the exact name of the 
package. The -Rr options will tell you what the package depends on, and 
what depends on the package. To find the exact package name, I do (for 
example) pkg_info | grep firefox, which returns:

 firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
...and the I know to do pkg_info -Rr firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1

You would have to browse through the Makefile and look for configuration 
options. Typically, if there is a FOOBAR option, you would 'make 
-DFOOBAR install' in the port directory.


Or, you could just edit the Makefile to add the arg you want. Let's look 
at mail/cyrus-imapd23. Its Makefile has a section that goes


  CONFIGURE_ARGS= --sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/etc \
  --with-cyrus-prefix=${PREFIX}/cyrus \
  --with-cyrus-user=${CYRUS_USER} \
  --with-cyrus-group=${CYRUS_GROUP} \
  --with-sasl=${LOCALBASE} \
  --with-bdb-libdir=${LOCALBASE}/lib \
  --with-com_err \
  --with-openssl=${OPENSSLBASE} \
  --with-perl=${PERL5} \
   note the trailing backslash I added ^

I would imagine you could just add
  --with-mboxlist-db=berkeley \
and
  --with-seen-db=flat
to that list. (The backslash means continued on the next line.)

Disclaimers: 1) I know nothing about cyrus. 2) I have never hacked a 
Makefile in this way. What I've said makes sense to me, but maybe others 
know better or can elaborate.

I actually already tried this option.  Unfortunately, it did not work

Another thing that I was thinking was going into the
work/cyrus-imapd2.2.12 directory and manuall running ./configure (with
the options listed in Makefile as well as the options I need) and make
from there, then going back the port's main directory and running make
install.  Does anyone know if this will or will not work?  Also, the
Makefile specifies a couple of items as follows:

--with-sasl=${LOCALBASE} \
--with-bdb-libdir=${LOCALBASE}/lib \
--with-openssl=${OPENSSLBASE} \
--with-perl=${PERL5} \

How can I determine what these variables are?

Thanks again to all for your help.

Not sure if this is still valid as they aren't in the manpage, but try

WITHOUT_GUI=yes

That should disable building X for the entire system.

Tightening up ssh

[Graham North]

Hi Mark:
You recently wrote:

Users are encouraged to create single-purpose users with ssh keys
and very narrowly defined sudo privileges instead of using root
for automated tasks.

Does this mean that there is a way to run ssh, but only allow certain users to use it.   
My default seems to have been that if someone has a username and password they can access 
ssh (except root as PermitRootLogin no is the default).   The ssh port seems 
to be the most heavily attacked one on my machine and so I recently took to blocking port 
22.   My preference would be to enable it to only one user and give them an obscure 
username and strong password.  Root is not currently allowed access by default in the 
setup.

Is this the approach that you alluded to above?   Can you point me to some 
information or provide some tips.

Hi Daniel
Thank you!  If I read the manpage correctly, invoking AllowUsers

RE: Tightening up ssh

[fbsd_user]

The fact of life is there is no way to stop ssh logon attacks
as long as you have port 22 open to the public internet.

You all ready see ssh doing its job correctly by not
allowing unauthorized logons.

Review the questions archives, this subject has been beat
to death the last 3 weeks.

There are some port application that read the hosts.allow log and
auto creates firewall rules to block that attacking ip address.
But this is just busy work as it does not stop the packets
hitting your front door or really add any additional security
over what native ssh is providing you.

A more popular method is to change the port number ssh uses and
just have your remote ssh users use that port number when they
remote logon to ssh.

Now the mass majority of script kiddies  robots attackers will
find port 22 closed and lose interest in you.
Only an dedicated attacker who has it out for just you, and knows
your ip address all ready would make the special effort to scan all
the high order port numbers looking for a ssh response.

Read the end of this doc for more details on how to change ssh's
port number.

What precisely *are* you looking for? A little detail would go a long 
way here. That is: what is it that won't run? Why do you think it's a 
dependency issue? What have you already tried?


Rereading your original post, it looks like you want to know not only 
what the dependencies are, but also which ones are not installed. 
Correct? Assuming yes, then you could do something like this (using my 
previous firefox example):

$ pkg_info -Rr firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1
Information for firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1:

Depends on:
Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20
Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1
[blah blah]

...then do a pkg_info on each item listed, e.g.
$ pkg_info pkgconfig-0.20
...and so on for each listed dependency. For each one, you will either 
get a rash of information (meaning the package is installed) or 
pkg_info: can't find package 'foobar' installed or in a file! (meaning 
the package is not installed). There is probably a more automated, less 
tedious way to do this, but I'm drawing a blank right now.


Then again, it may be an entirely different issue - it could be a matter 
of packages being confused about what their dependencies really are. You 
may see this when trying to update. This can be fixed using cvsup, 
pkgdb, portsdb and friends. See the many recent threads about updating 
ports and/or packages.

Cyrus-IMAP disallowing clear text connections

[Erik Nørgaard]

Hi:

I have a Postfix/Cyrus-IMAP setup, Postfix requires TLS and user 
authentication to relay mail, and cyrus requires TLS and user 
authentication to retrieve mail. Or so I thought:


I just tested to see that things were in fact encrypted and unencrypted 
connection was refused, works fine for Postfix but Cyrus-IMAP accepts 
unencrypted connections _and_ authentication even though I have set the 
following in imapd.conf


  allowplaintext: yes
  allowplainwithouttls: no

How do I force the use of TLS for Cyrus-IMAP?

Also: Postfix allows hiding authentication mechanisms unless TLS is 
invoked (so in clear text, capabilities just show STARTTLS), while 
Cyrus-IMAP announces everything. Is there anyway to be more strict with 
the cyrus in respect of what it announces?


Thanks, Erik

[Steven Lake]

I'm thinking it was ld or something that I used.  It gave the 
dependency for a given program, then listed either the path to the file or 
said it was not found.  That's mostly what I'm looking at.  I'm trying to 
figure out which dependencies are missing for a given program so I can 
figure out what I need to do to fix it.

It sounds like what you are thinking of is the ldd(1) command, which lists
which dynamically linked libraries a program is linked against, and gives
the path to the shared library if ldd can find it.

This is something quite different than the dependencies ports/packages can
have between each other.

you are using.  However, you do need to prepare for a possible future
upgrade of the port that was installed with non-default compile
options.
If you are using portupgrade then you need to edit pkgtools.conf.  If
you
are using portmanager then you need to edit pkgtools.conf or pm-020.conf.

But I speak as an not-disinterested bystander.  I'm expecting delivery

through some of the documentation on-and-off, and lurking here, just to
get prepared -- and, um, psyched.  :-)



I had a similar problem. I solved it by going to the HDD manufacturer's 
web site, searching for the model number and using the information 
found in the tech sheets. The data was very different to that being 
guessed by the partition tool. Have had no problems since.


You may have more experience than me. I'd previously only installed 
systems that set up the window manager for me. What I discovered was 
that FreeBSD installation is very simple. However, getting a window 
manager set up and configuring the box to do what I wanted (printers, 
networks, USB thumb drives, extra CD drive, apache, PHP, mySQL) is 
confusing and laborious.


It's a catch22 situation. If you know that you need to configure 
HOSTS/CUPS/X/etc then you probably know where to find them. And in my 
case, once it's set up I don't want to remember how to do it. I was 
looking for a how-to guide that would walk me through the process of 
setting up a machine that would be used as a desktop box. I want to use 
it for web site building, so I want to set up apache, mysql and php. 
The documentation is directed at users with some background with 
computers. I wanted documentation that presumed that I'd been raised by 
wolves: I'm not stupid, its just that I have no background knowledge.


Any pointers to BSD documentation written for people raised by wolves 
would be appreciated.

ports and interactivity

[Ian A. Tegebo]

I'm interested in knowing several things:

1 When is a port interactive?
2 Is there an easy way to determine the above?
3 What are all the options for a given port?

After doing some reading, I understand that one can learn about options
in Makefiles, running make show-config, make show-options, or some
other idiosyncratic method that seems to vary from port to port.

In terms of question 1, there seems like there should be a
IS_INTERACTIVE variable set in the Makefile but in the example of
shells/bash-completion, there is no such variable and yet I was 
presented with what I imagine was dialog prompting me to choose
between bash2 and the newer bash3 (default shells/bash).

I have a hidden agenda here.  I would like to be able to present
portupgrade with a list of ports, preprocess all interactive ports
before any actual building occurs, and then let portupgrade do its
thing.  

Now, I could use the BATCH variable to at least process all
ports that aren't interactive but that hardly seems cool when there
could be dependencies that are interactive (which would show up when I
pass -rRn to portupgrade).

I've also taken a cursory look at portmanager and portmaster but neither
seem to fulfill my agenda.  It's not that I want to simply achieve
automation, I want to do all the human work of evaluating options and
making decisions up front (without all the tedious work of poking around in 
Makefiles when there are already nice things like those dialog prompts).

Has anyone gone down this road?  Does it not go anywhere?  Is there a
better way to do this?

I appreciate that comment; do we dare discuss it further?  (And,
it will take a more knowledgeable guru than me to do so, probably).

What happens if there is an API/ABI change of the type that occurs
once in a FBSD full moon ... 'please recompile all ports', or at least,
'all ports dependent on /usr/ports/foo/bar'?

I suppose from an end-user standpoint, it's no worse than taking
your (MSFT) computer to the shop and them flattening it, and
you have to reinstall and restore a backup.  But from my perspective,
(and I've got to admit not giving it a whole lot of thought just yet)
this could be off-putting to users, to say the least, and how will
PCBSD handle this (reinstallation requirement).  In leaving the
traditional FBSD system, what's taking its place for upgrading/
updating, etc.?

If you've got a good case, you might want to take it over to
##freebsd at freenode --- seems PCBSD gets badmouthed a
little over there at times.

And, I'm in danger of going way OT; if we need to continue, we
should probably go chat@

the command I need to be run is:

im not really sure how to make a .sh script, what would the script need to
be, or would there be an easier way without putting a script in /etc/rc.d?

Hi,

Yes, you can pass the options along but it depends
which method you are using to manage your ports.
Are you using make ..., portupgrade ..., or perhaps
portmanager ...

Checkout the portupgrade -m switch.



No.  The initial install options do not depend on what port management
utility
  
The intended meaning of my statement was not that the initial install 
options
depend upon what port management utility a person is using but rather 
that how

you pass those options through to the underlying make does depend on which
port management utility you are using.

you are using.  However, you do need to prepare for a possible future
upgrade of the port that was installed with non-default compile
options.
If you are using portupgrade then you need to edit pkgtools.conf.  If
you
are using portmanager then you need to edit pkgtools.conf or pm-020.conf.

Hi,

Your best bet is to read the handbook section
on packages and ports.  To answer your question
though, yes packages are pre-built and ports need
to be compiled, linked, etc from sources.

Yep, It is located in your sysctl

Re: cat /proc/cpuinfo ?

[Bill Schoolcraft]

At Mon, 27 Mar 2006 it looks like Rob W. composed:

 Yep, It is located in your sysctl
 
 Try this: ' sysctl -a | less '
 
 That should give you all info about the system including cpu, memory ect..
 

Thanks Rob,

Yes, quite of bit of information... :)

 
 
  Hello Family,
  
  Yes, yes, I know... I have a bunch of boxes under my desk here at
  home and between the Ultra-10, FreeBSD-5.4 and 6.0 and SuSE I get
  confused and that's what happened when I tried to type the following
  on my FreeBSD box.
  
  cat /proc/cpuinfo
  
  What I did get off my other box, where this command works was:
  
  ###
  
  processor   : 0
  vendor_id   : AuthenticAMD
  cpu family  : 15
  model   : 31
  model name  : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
  stepping: 0
  cpu MHz : 994.927
  cache size  : 512 KB
  fpu : yes
  fpu_exception   : yes
  cpuid level : 1
  wp  : yes
  flags   : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce (snipped)
  bogomips: 1956.97
  TLB size: 1024 4K pages
  clflush size: 64
  cache_alignment : 64
  address sizes   : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
  power management: ts fid vid ttp
  
  ###
  
  (question)
  
  Is there some *BSD port that will give me CPU information like the
  above from the command line?
  
  TIA

You want the linux /proc behaviour.

1) make sure you have linux binary compatibility installed 

$ pkg_info | grep linux_base
linux_base-8-8.0_14 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for
i386/amd64)

$ grep -i linux /etc/rc.conf 
linux_enable=YES

( without a reboot, this equals to kldload linux)

2) add to /etc/fstab:
linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc   linprocfs   rw   0  0

and then you can get :

 Yes.
 
 Perhaps you could provide a bit more information?

Yes, sir, I will provide any information you need.

I want to have two mailboxes with two addresses (for one account) 
on my computer. These different mailboxes I mean to use for different sources 
of incoming mail. So I need two real mailboxes, not two aliases 
for one mailbox. Then I can give my different address to different senders.

Although, I can make all mail going to one address and then filter incoming
mail, I think it is a wrong way, because of superfluous action.

One mailbox I have since account creation. Its address is account name.
The sendmail sends a mail to this address to /var/mail/account_name.
How to make the second mailbox?

I have installed FreeBSD 6.0 and Sendmail 8.13.5.

Any additional information needed?

Yours sincerely, Elisej Babenko

Re: What's that filesystem for a usb flash drive?

  Hello!. I've been trying to mount my flash memory but it just doesn't

  I use (as root):

try 'msdos' instead of 'msdosfs'

 Are you sure that /dev/ad0 is actually your flash device? That doesn't
 look right to me. What is the physical interface to your flash memory?
 That is, is it USB, a PCMCIA card, or what?

My usb flash drives always show up as da devices, not ad. Have a look in /dev 
to see what nodes are actually there, and especially look at tty0 when you 
plug the drive in - you should get an informative console message and perhaps 
find its da1 or da2 even (depending on what other usb devices are attached, I 
think).

Also you may need to mount a slice, like da0s1, as I do. In summary, the 
command which works for me is:

# mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /flash

Good luck,
Ben

Hi,

I just installed mysql-server50 port for the ports databases directory...

I compiled it using defaults

What's wrong with the port ???


I have mysql50-server built and installed with the defaults, and it 
has support for innodb.


What did you do to determine that your install does not have support?
