OS X does have a polished and beautiful desktop environment, but it is not FreeBSD. If money were no object for me, I would want a Macbook Pro with a triple boot of OS X, Win XP and FreeBSD. Back to the original topic: James, I'm curious that you had any results booting with any BSD or Linux. The Intel Macs have no BIOS, I have read of hacks that got Linux (and Windows before Apple offered it) to work, but it didn't seem straight forward based on the accounts I read. This is not true--how do you think Bootcamp works? It provides BIOS emulation for booting windows, and whatever else. Secondly, why do people keep saying that OSX and FreeBSD are basically the same operating system -- if by basically the same you mean have a unix base, then sure. OSX runs on a hybrid mach microkernel (and with all the performance baggage this comes with). A great deal of the userland utilities originate from NetBSD or even OpenBSD in addition to FreeBSD. There is no ports system (sure, darwinports is similiar, though far less extensive). Boot system is entirely different. There's no way to buildworld or buildkernel, etc. Directory services are done completely differently than in Freebsd (netinfo?). There's not even an /etc/fstab. One could go on... Because from a user's perspective of running and building software they are the same. Sure, you can't do the equivalent of a buildworld, but OS X is a commercial system they don't supply source code with. So, all of the utilities and scripts that FreeBSD has for managing the source to the operating system are of course not going to be present if the source for the system isn't supplied. As for performance comparisons, anyone buying an Intel Mac isn't looking for peak performance. If they really were looking for peak performance out of consumer-level gear they would get the fastest Wintel motherboard and overclock it and run FreeBSD on it. They wouldn't be buying a Mac, or a HP, or a Dell, or any of those since those companies don't manufacture bleeding-edge systems.

Script to organize passwd and group
Hello! I was wondering if anybody out there share the same need as I do to better organize /etc/passwd and /etc/group. I would like to see chronologic ordering of UIDs and GIDs, instead of having them sorted by what ports their corresponding daemons run on. Look below how much more flow it all gets. Then, if possible, it would be cool to make 3 distinct classes: 01 Necessities, with 1 to 2 digit IDs (maybe keep nobody seperate) 02 Servers, with 3 digit IDs 03 Users, with 4 digit IDs I'm aware that when adding new users, one would manually have to rearrange, but this is not because you shouldn't, it's because adduser and pw doesn't yet support this kind of order. Here is my ideal setup: -- # cat /etc/.passwd root:*:0:0::0:0:Core:/root:/usr/local/bin/zsh daemon:*:1:1::0:0:System Processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin operator:*:2:2::0:0:Operator:/:/usr/sbin/nologin kmem:*:3:65533::0:0:KMem:/:/usr/sbin/nologin bin:*:4:4::0:0:Binaries:/:/usr/sbin/nologin tty:*:5:65533::0:0:Titty:/:/usr/sbin/nologin news:*:6:6::0:0:News:/:/usr/sbin/nologin man:*:7:7::0:0:Manuals:/usr/share/man:/usr/sbin/nologin nobody:*:5:5::0:0:Unprivileged:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin sshd:*:101:101::0:0:Secure Shell:/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin www:*:102:102::0:0:World Wide Web:/usr/local/www:/usr/sbin/nologin ftp:*:103:103::0:0:File Transfer Protocol:/home/websites:/usr/sbin/nologin mysql:*:104:104::0:0:MySQL:/var/db/mysql:/sbin/nologin proxy:*:105:105::0:0:Packet Filter:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin smmsp:*:106:106::0:0:Sendmail Submission:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/usr/sbin/nologin mailnull:*:107:107::0:0:Sendmail Default:/var/spool/mqueue:/usr/sbin/nologin postfix:*:108:108::0:0:Postfix:/var/spool/postfix:/usr/sbin/nologin cyrus:*:109:109::874400:0:Cyrus:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin spamd:*:110:110::0:0:SpamAssassin:/var/spool/spamd:/sbin/nologin vscan:*:111:111::0:0:Scanner:/var/amavis:/bin/sh clamav:*:112:112::0:0:ClamAV:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin kyrre:*:1001:0::0:0:Kyrre:/home/kyrre:/usr/local/bin/zsh nomad:*:1002:1002::0:0:Hednod:/home/nomad:/usr/local/bin/zsh polvott:*:1003:1003::0:0:Thomas:/home/polvott:/usr/local/bin/zsh nughaud:*:1004:1004::0:0:King:/home/nughaud:/usr/local/bin/zsh -- # cat /etc/group wheel:*:0:root daemon:*:1: operator:*:2:root kmem:*:3: bin:*:4: tty:*:5: news:*:6: man:*:7: nobody:*:5: sshd:*:101: www:*:102: ftp:*:103: mysql:*:104: proxy:*:105: smmsp:*:106: mailnull:*:107: postfix:*:108: cyrus:*:119: spamd:*:110: vscan:*:111: clamav:*:112: nomad:*:1002: polvott:*:1003: nughaud:*:1004: -- The script would rearrange passwd and group into classes, based on a predefined list maybe.

Have you tried chmodding the www dir to be group-writable? Also, as someone else has suggested, SVN og CVS might be a good idea. They would not solve the problem you have right now, but they might help you avoid some possible problems with many people editing the same batch of files - sharing violations. What if two people start editing the same files on their own workstations, and both upload the changes? What about version control? et cetera, ad nauseam. Offcourse, non-repository development is possible, and I've done it myself without any issues whatsoever, but you're the one who decides what's best for your development. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dhclient in giant lock after a few days
Hi all, My FreeBSD server at home is running natd and ipfw on 6.1-STABLE. So it's the router and firewall for me at home. However, after a few days the dhclient, used for obtaining an IP address from my ISP (and the FreeBSD box gets that external IP address) gets into the giant lock and won't come out unless I kill dhclient and restart it again. Note that the dhclient runs fine for a few days first. After it comes in the giant lock, the functionality doesn't break or anything, it's just unusual behavior. I've been running 6.0 on this box first, where this behavior did not appear. However, after upgrading to 6.1-PRERELEASE (this was not intended, but that's besides the point) I've been experiencing this. Since it was a version before the betas I figured this would be fixed with the release of 6.1. However, I still have the same issue after upgrading to 6.1-STABLE. This is a little snapshot from top. And yes, it is constantly the most highest process when no HTTP or SMTP traffic passes trough. last pid: 5339; load averages: 0.09, 0.06, 0.01up 9+15:47:15 12:04:13 105 processes: 1 running, 103 sleeping, 1 lock CPU states: % user, % nice, % system, % interrupt, % idle Mem: 177M Active, 164M Inact, 82M Wired, 26M Cache, 57M Buf, 17M Free Swap: 935M Total, 280K Used, 934M Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATETIME WCPU COMMAND 193 _dhcp1 960 1460K 964K *Giant 172:09 5.57% dhclient Note that this box has 6 jails with Postfix, Apache, BIND, MySQL and stuff like that. Also I'm using the vr(4) drivers for my NICs. Yes, I know that they aren't all that great, but that's the only thing I can use, since my VIA box doesn't have space for an external NIC. So if anybody has any advices or ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

kde applications start segfaulting following kppp use
I had kppd running for a while when broadband was down, and for the first time on my FreeBSD box, the whole system locked up, on occasion. I don't know why it was doing this, but usually when Konqueror was trying to load a website (once something as innocuous as a Google search). Now previously stable applications such as kmail and Konqueror will occasionally segfault. I'm assuming that this and the kppp period are connected, which may or not be true. Any ideas on how to approach this? I was thinking of rebuilding kdebase.

Re: Strange pauses and cpu usage - FreeBSD 6.1
Shawn wrote: I'm having a strange problem with cpu usage with my Athlon XP. Every so often there seems to be a pause where the system comes under heavy load for no apparent reason. If xmms was playing then I get a buzz sound and the mouse pointer stops just for a split second, the same with mplayer and vlc. Using Opera or firefox also seems to have a strange effect where the mouse pointer freezes while pages load, and if there is an animated gif on the page the cpu usage goes to 100%. The jabber client Gajim also makes the cpu get stuck at 100%. When I used gnome, nautilus did the same thing until i stopped and started the process in the system monitor. I have searched around and found this tip from the handbook but it had no effect. To some extent, that kind of behavior is normal for FreeBSD and most other systems which do not make hard or soft real-time guarantees. However, there may also be things you can do to improve the situation or a legitimate problem to be fixed as well...having the mouse pointer freeze implies that interrupts were being blocked or at least the Xserver was. If you're using USB devices, try using a PS/2 mouse instead and see whether that makes any difference. Is the system OK with memory, or are you running low enough to page out X, perhaps? Check top vmstat -s.

namebased VPS using JAIL
Hey,. I'm trying to serve several VPS for my friends. But, IP addresses costs too much here in Japan. So, I only have 1 WAN IP. I've heard that Virtuozzo let's users create namebased VPS. For example, I want to create a VPS called vps1. I'll assign vps1.codebusterz.net as VPS's address. Then all network traffics for vps1.codebusterz.net will go to vps1. Same with other VPSs by the way. Is this possible using JAIL?

Re: min disk size for (useful) desktop
I don't build desktops so I don't know what people normally do for swap size but it's good to remember at build time if you have small drives. What I think about when sizing a server drive is memory, swap and dumps. You didn't mention how much memory you have, but if it's large, you may find yourself cramped in 20G due to swap allocation and additionally might need to turn crashdumps off. If you take a panic it can use a lot of space quickly with say 4GB of memory. Using 4GB as an example, a default swap configuration coupled with a single panic dump saved could consume 12GB of your drive, with a more common 2GB memory, the same scenario would use 6GB, still a big chunk on a 20G drive. Though I've never done this, I suppose the swap could be reduced from the norm if you are certain you can stay out of a swap situation with your RAM. Dumps can be disabled if you are stable (look at dumpdev and dumpdir in man rc.conf).

Strange things...
Hi I have(?) an internet connetction issue... I have a router connected to a windows box downstaires (Lynksis wAG354G) and i use a wirelless usb adapter (Lynksis WUSB54G). It works fine under windows and even if some times the signal is lost usually it comes back by either moving the antenna a little or by restarting the network configuration tool. In FreeBSD the adapter is visible and uses ural0 driver. So if give the command ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.1.65 netmask 255.255.255.0 but i cannot connect to the internet or see the windows box. Now comes the strange part. if i press ifconfig ural0 i get: ural0: flags=108843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe81:881a%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:12:17:81:88:1a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps) status: associated ssid linksys channel 11 bssid 00:14:bf:cb:71:32 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 but still i cannot connect to web pages or ping hosts. I use KDE 3.5 and i do the following: from the Kmenu -settings-internet and Network- Network settings and on the card Network interfaces i see that there is only onde availiable interface fxp0 dhcp Disabled Ethernet Network Device. I know that this is my ethernet onboard card but if i choose Enable Interface i can connect to the internet!! I assume that something runs in the background that enables as well my wireless card but what is this? So what's the problem you may ask... the problem is that in case that my connection is lost i cannot do anything to get it back up. i have tried dhclient ural0 and nothing happents same with ifconfig ural0 up... I have to reboot and do the procudure again and the problem is that it fails often if i leave the net for a while... Any ideas? thanks ___ The all-new Yahoo!

Re: FreeBSD loader booting xp
Sure it can, but it is actually the boot manager that does it. You will get a prompt asking to boot or to boot from the second drive. On the second drive you will get a similar prompt. If you need to load the boot manager it is in the tools directory on FreeBSD releases, it is booteasy. -Derek At 11:53 AM 5/27/2006, Dave wrote: Hello, I've got a machine with multiple hard drives.

Kernel Panic on FreeBSD 6.1 with Dell PE1850 / 1750

phpMyAdmin problem - no Edit/Delete on Browse
(originally posted to -database some days ago .. no nibbles) running 5.4-RELEASE and installed phpMyAdmin 2.6.1.3 with pkg_add -r (after finding installing from ports wanted to also fetch php4 sources and heaps of other stuff I already had installed from packages on the 2-CD set). I'd managed to find and install 5.4-R mysql packages also: smithi on paqi% pkg_info | grep -i php\|mysql libmcrypt-2.5.7_1 Multi-cipher cryptographic library (used in PHP) mysql-client-4.1.10a Multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-4.1.10a Multithreaded SQL database (server) php4-4.3.10_2 PHP Scripting Language (Apache Module and CLI) php4-bz2-4.3.10_2 The bz2 shared extension for php php4-gd-4.3.10_2The gd shared extension for php php4-mbstring-4.3.10_2 The mbstring shared extension for php php4-mcrypt-4.3.10_2 The mcrypt shared extension for php php4-mysql-4.3.10_2 The mysql shared extension for php php4-openssl-4.3.10_2 The openssl shared extension for php php4-pcre-4.3.10_2 The pcre shared extension for php php4-zlib-4.3.10_2 The zlib shared extension for php phpMyAdmin-2.6.1.3 A set of PHP-scripts to manage MySQL over the web phpmyadmin basically works fine. I'd imported my databases from dumps, and all looked good after a bit of configuration. However when starting to do some real work on a couple of databases, I noticed that while browsing any database, the Edit and Delete options do not appear with each row, ie I can not update existing records (even as -u root) I'd suspected permissions, but I can insert new records, add/drop/empty tables and databases, bookmark queries and all. The permissions and ownership of and in /var/db/mysql are the same as my old 4.5-R system. $cfg['ModifyDeleteAtLeft'] = TRUE; I've also tried adding ...AtRight as well, but neither show up. If relevant, I'm using apache-1.3.33_1 and mozilla-1.7.7,2 .. all of this is just running on the local machine, so I'm not at the moment concerned with just security-issue updates. I haven't been able to find anything in later version change notes or PRs indicating anything like this problem, and updating to the current port would require updating php, mysql, expat and even xorg versions, which is just not doable over a 28.8k modem connection I'm afraid, so the 'usual' answer of cvsuping and updating everything is not helpful; in any case I suspect this is more likely a maybe subtle config issue?

Installing Apsfilter
Trying to install Apsfilter, I encountered a problem. It seems that it requires print/acroread7 which is an interactive port. Reading the Makefile on acroread7, it seems I have to go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html and fill out a form, wait a few days to see if I am approved, and then what? Is this really necessary? Is there some way around this? If I follow through with this scenario, what happens? Do I get a special code or file to install that will allow me to install the port just so I can get apsfilter installed?

namebased VPS using JAIL

For example, I want to create a VPS called vps1. I'll assign vps1.codebusterz.net as VPS's address. Then all network traffics for vps1.codebusterz.net will go to vps1.
