Re: LDAP Thunderbird and security (OFF)
Nagy László írta: Hello, I would like to create an LDAP server, for storing address book information for Thunderbird. E-mail clients will be connecting remotely with IMAPS (over the internet). Is there a secure way to do this? I know that samba can create an LDAP server but it is not secure, is it? I also know that I could create a VPN connection, but for my users, this is too difficult to setup. :-) Do you know a solution, definitely for FreeBSD, that is relatively easy to setup on the client side, and secure? I could setup openldap, and my thunderbird can connect to it. But I cannot add persons to that address book. I also asked this on the openldap mailing list, but I had no answer since two days. I read somewhere that Thunderbird requires a special schema to be present on the LDAP server. Anybody out there who could use openldap with thinderbird?

Re: Alt Gr key troubles in FreeBSD
Hi I'm sorry for the late reply but i thought i had sent you an e-mail when actually i had not. I tried all the things you mentioned and i discovered that the problem can easily be reproduced in any application. It's simply a matter of me not letting go of the shift key fast enough. I reproduce it by typing any number of characters in caps with the shift key down and then directly switching to pressing the alt gr key and hitting the 8 character for example in order to produce the [ character on Swedish keyboards. This is when the output becomes silent and nothing happens. I tried on a co-workers computer which runs Windows and it's the same on that system. It's been a while since i properly used the Windows system so i had forgotten that it was like that there to. No reply is required to this thread as i have found out that this is just the way the driver works on both FreeBSD and Windows systems. So i have my answers.

FreeBSD, recently, as my transported Linux bash configs contained

/usr/lib/man.conf on my Linux system and can set the default manpath
there, man happily coexists with any MANPATH. How does one add a custom
manpath without root privileges? Etc. Just curious; thanks.
The manpath(1) program is designed to provide standard system-wide
operation of the man(1) command. It covers all of the places the
ports system will put manpages and all of the system manpages. That
is generally sufficient for most sites.
If you have a customised directory layout and start putting man pages in
unusual places, then you've got two choices. If these oddly located man
pages are for general consumption, then add the appropriate info to
/etc/manpath.config -- by editing that one file you will make those
manpages visible immediately to all users on the system.
Otherwise if you have your own private stache of manpages you should
set MANPATH in your shell initialization scripts. However, you should
not assume that MANPATH is already set so that you can just append to
it. To get the best of both worlds, set your local $MANPATH based on the
output of manpath(1). For Bourne-type shells, something like:
MANPATH=${MANPATH:-$(manpath)}:/foo/bar/man:/baz/quux/man
export MANPATH
Or to ignore any previous setting of MANPATH in the environment:
MANPATH=$( unset MANPATH ; manpath ):/foo/bar/man:/baz/quux/man
export MANPATH
csh equivalents are left as an exercise for the student.
Thanks for your time and reply. I'm afraid I'm still failing to see the
special advantage in the 'MANPATH-produces-warning' method, but I
suppose it's a 'when in Rome'. :)

Blank screen after existing X windows

This is when the output becomes silent and nothing happens. I don't think this is a bug, but rather a feature: Some characters become available with the combination of Alt-Gr+shift, for example if you don't have a spanish keyboard, you can produce a '¿' with Alt-Gr+'?' but to get the '?' you may have to use shift as well. Same ting with '¡' and you will find that Alt-Gr+a produces a 'ª' while Alt-Gr+shift+a produces a 'º' ... IIRC. That output becomes silent is simply a result of no character being located at the Alt-Gr+shift position on that key. The only characters (I know) I haven't figured out how to type on my danish keyboard are ç (French, Portuguese ...) and · (Catalan). So if someone complains, then just say that it's because they have the Babelfish keyboard layout :) Anyway, I think that this behaviour may date back to old style keyboards where the Alt-Gr was a compose character and to avoid you having to press the fourth key with your nose, you could let go of the others.

I'm a bit confused as to why my USB keyboard and mouse function, but my thumb drive will not. It's likely that your BIOS has legacy support enabled in which case, as far as FreeBSD is concerned, you actually have a regular keyboard and mouse. That would explain why the mouse and keyboard work while other USB items do not. From the messages you gave, it's clear that FreeBSB is unable to connect to the USB controller. Disabling legacy support in the BIOS may help. Otherwise check your BIOS for other USB related settings and try changing those. Indeed, legacy support is enabled (actually auto was the setting in the BIOS). When I disable it, the keyboard and mouse cease functioning, as well. That was the only setting I could find in the BIOS related to USB. I suppose that means the on-board USB controller is one not supported by existing drivers? Or at least ones not listed in the GENERIC config on which I based my kernel (all I added was the ath drivers for my wireless)? I don't know which chipset it is, but my guess is, since the on-board video and LAN is an nVidia chipset, that the USB controller probably is, as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Need help with getting transparent proxy working across WAN
I have a FreeBSD transparent proxy working on local lan. Where the workstation's NIC has its gateway set to the proxy server's internal ip address. Everything works fine. Problem is when I move my workstation from the local lan where the proxy server resides, on to the 10.4.0.0 network, this is across a WAN link, Transparent proxy stops working it appears no web traffic is getting to the proxy, and I'm not able to get to ant web site.

defining dependencies for ports

I'm brand new to FreeBSD. I'm mostly enjoying it so far. I'm playing with installing the Eclipse IDE port right now. I say playing with because I started to install it and saw the list of dependencies and shuddered. I like to keep my system relatively clean and tend to start a new install of Linux (and now BSD) as bare bones and add only what I need. So I'm building Eclipse, and one of the things it wants to include is python . Seems odd for my java ide to need python, so I look it up on the web tool that shows all the dependencies for a port (which is a fantastic tool, by the way). And python is included because glade is included, and glade seems to be a top-level dependency. However, nowhere can I find in the Makefile any reference to Glade, nor to the many other top-level dependencies. How do I find out these things and once I find them, how do I change them so I don't include? (Mozilla is another example, but this one I actually see in the Makefile for the Eclipse port. However, make config and make configure don't ask me if I want mozilla -- I use firefox). This applies generally. I installed other ports too that had odd dependencies (like including perl because of some helper scripts that aren't even required to be run). Is there a command I'm missing that let's me configure these things? On a side note, is the name pretty-print-build-depends-list designed to keep me from running the command? ;-) And after typing all that, the output wasn't really even pretty. thanks for any tips. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've been using FreeBSD only two days now. Currently I run slackware. mike Mike, Have a look at this link and see how your ports don't have to be difficult: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html Look for other stuff Dru's written about as well - good stuff. Install the port you want and all the dependancies will sort themselves out: e.g. # cd /usr/ports//www/firefox/ # make install clean Sorted! You are aware that there exists 1. ports = source = must be compiled = make install (as above) 2. packages = executable packages = precompiled = pkgadd -r . . .

Whilst your description of ports and packages is correct... So unless you're running a custom kernel, there's no advantage of ports over packages. ...this is not. Ports are useful : 1) For any package with multiple compile-time options (e.g. apache) where *you* want to choose those options rather than be stuck with the ones the *package* was compiled with (c.f. Linux rpms) 2) If you want to be as up-to-date as possible - packages take time to pre-compile and can lag the ports tree a little 3) If require the source code (for maintaining local patches; because another port or some other local software needs it) I'm not aware that a custom kernel has any relevance whatsoever. Perhaps you meant unless you have used some cpu-specific compile flag in make.conf but I don't think even that would make a difference. Also, ports and packages are managed much more easily with a tool like portupgrade or portmanager. I prefer the former because it has never core-dumped on me, and feels more robust and well maintained. If you have multiple machines you keep in sync, then portupgrade -p or pkg_create -b can be used to create local packages with *your* compile-time options that other local machines can use. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: LinkLib Issues In freebsd Lazarus
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: I'd say this is a mistake. You should probably install the fpc port in /usr/ports/lang/fpc. There may be reasons to install your own version instead of a port, but you haven't presented any. As per the Lazarus docs/INSTALL, compiling Lazarus requires the FPC source tree, A binary install of FPC won't do. It's *really* unusual for a port to install a binary tarball if the source is available. Most ports that install binaries are for commercial products for which source isn't available. Again, you should probably have used the ports version, in editors/fpc-ide. That's the text-mode IDE, not the GUI one, called Lazarus. That port doesn't say very much about what it is, other than it's an fpc-ide. Sorry for the mistake. So, all that is needed is to apply the patches I mentioned in my OP, get the proper gdk-pixbuf installed from ports, and it is as good as gold. Now, how can I create a port for Lazarus, now that I have it compiled and running? You'll probably want to start by creating an fpc port that builds from source. A lazarus port could fetch the source files itself and use them, but if I were using them, I'd like to know that the fpc I was using was built from the sources the ide used. A port is basically a Makefile plus at least some text files. The ports tree includes a lot of make machinery to fetch/extract/patch/build/etc. based on that.

What options you get for any port do depend on what the maintainer chose
to put in. If there is some option that eclipse itself has, but the
port does not, then contacting the maintainer is where I might start.
Looking thought the eclipse Makefile you see things like:
.if defined(WITH_MOTIF)
or
.if !defined(WITHOUT_MOZILLA)
which tell you what is going to be looked for when the port is
compiled. Is that what you meant by dependencies?
So if using plain make you say something like make WITH_MOTIF=1 or
make WITHOUT_MOZILLA=1.
Using portupgrade, you can add these to the MAKE_ARGS for java/eclipse
in pkgtools.conf and have them used automatically every time you recompile.
Or there is
BUILD_DEPENDS= ant:${PORTSDIR}/devel/apache-ant \

Not every port supports make config unfortunately. I haven't done

can't believe it's that hard - of course, hard depends on your
experience! Comparing to a port which *does* support make config

Yes, that helps. I did find the zip and ant dependencies. When I had looked
at the dependency tree on the web, there were a lot of others, such as glade
which then requires python. I didn't want glade or python, so I was kind of
curious where this dependency was listed if not explicit in the Makefile. I
guess my question was more just in general than specifically for the Eclipse
package. From what you said, it sounds like it all just depends on how the
port was written by the owner, if things are considered an option you can
change or not. Thanks for taking the time to actually go and look at the
Makefile for this, that was above and beyond.

I'm learning a lot in this process. Check out the java/eclipse Makefile. It has build options in it that are configurable. You can do that either by entering them on the command line, or by placing them in the /etc/make.conf file like this: # java/eclipse section .if $(.CURDIR:M*/java/eclipse) # Your options are placed here. # I usually place them one per line for easier reading .endif I like the /etc/make.conf option myself since I do not have to remember to enter the options if I update the port. Also, both portupgrade and portmanager will honor any instructions in the /etc/make.conf file.

FreeBSD, recently, as my transported Linux bash configs contained

/usr/lib/man.conf on my Linux system and can set the default manpath
there, man happily coexists with any MANPATH. How does one add a custom
manpath without root privileges? Etc. Just curious; thanks.
The manpath(1) program is designed to provide standard system-wide
operation of the man(1) command. It covers all of the places the
ports system will put manpages and all of the system manpages. That
is generally sufficient for most sites.
If you have a customised directory layout and start putting man pages in
unusual places, then you've got two choices. If these oddly located man
pages are for general consumption, then add the appropriate info to
/etc/manpath.config -- by editing that one file you will make those
manpages visible immediately to all users on the system.
Otherwise if you have your own private stache of manpages you should
set MANPATH in your shell initialization scripts. However, you should
not assume that MANPATH is already set so that you can just append to
it. To get the best of both worlds, set your local $MANPATH based on the
output of manpath(1). For Bourne-type shells, something like:
MANPATH=${MANPATH:-$(manpath)}:/foo/bar/man:/baz/quux/man
export MANPATH
Or to ignore any previous setting of MANPATH in the environment:
MANPATH=$( unset MANPATH ; manpath ):/foo/bar/man:/baz/quux/man
export MANPATH
csh equivalents are left as an exercise for the student.
Thanks for your time and reply. I'm afraid I'm still failing to see the
special advantage in the 'MANPATH-produces-warning' method, but I
suppose it's a 'when in Rome'. :)

radeon option agpmode 4 hangs system
After a long search and no solution in sight, I have to ask here - many people have reported this problem, the xorg developers deliberately default to agpmode 1x because they know it hangs unpredictably otherwise. The problem has been around for a few years now. Am I stuck with agp mode 1x for good? I'm sorry I brought a radeon in the first place. Pay for mobike but ride a bullock-cart! Googlers! Don't buy radeon folks! You've been warned!

Indeed, legacy support is enabled (actually auto was the setting in the BIOS). When I disable it, the keyboard and mouse cease functioning, as well. That was the only setting I could find in the BIOS related to USB. I suppose that means the on-board USB controller is one not supported by existing drivers? Or at least ones not listed in the GENERIC config on which I based my kernel (all I added was the ath drivers for my wireless)? I don't know which chipset it is, but my guess is, since the on-board video and LAN is an nVidia chipset, that the USB controller probably is, as well. Based on the error messages I think it's still worth trying some different settings. FeeeBSD seems to recognize the controller but it is unable to allocate the right resources to it. Check your BIOS for a PnP OS setting and toggle it. Also, try booting with ACPI disabled (or enabled) from the FreeBSD boot menu. IIRC, ACPI can have a hand in routing resources.

Re: radeon option agpmode 4 hangs system
Do you have the agp kernel module not loaded? In 6.x there are known problems with the agp kernel module which is compiled in by default.

Re: LinkLib Issues In freebsd Lazarus
Mike Meyer wrote: It's *really* unusual for a port to install a binary tarball if the source is available.

In fact, what I have learned will impact the usability of FPC on freepascal itself. The problem which initiated this thread was the wrong naming of some libraries. Well, it turns out that this renaming was done mid-stream by the freebsd development team, and not by the freepascal folks. It seems that from freebsd 6.0 to freebsd 6.1 (the one I am using) library names were arbitrarily changed. The ones I ran into were libgdk, libgtk, and libglib. In all previous versions (prior to 6.1) of freebsd, the lib versions 1.2 were named libgdk12, libgtk12, and libglib12 they were changed in 6.1 to libgdk-12, libgtk-12, and libglib-12 respectively. I wonder how many more library names were changed? This is a real blow to any third party software developer, who's software will likely start to bomb on freebsd6.1, where it ran just fine on 6.0 BIG problem! If I compile a program on my 6.1 system, which makes any dynamic calls to these libraries (and possibly others as yet unknown), that executable will ONLY run on freebsd 6.1, and bomb on all prior versions. My fix of patching the freepascal 2.0.2, or your method of sym-linking, while fixing the local problem of compiling Lazarus, breaks all portability to previous freebsd installs. This is a bad thing the freebsd folks have done! There are some dirty work-arounds, and according to the fpc developers, they will be implementing some new tools to deal with this in fpc-2.0.4, who's rc2 has just been released. I can see making these kinds of changes from a 5.x version to a 6.x version, as bad as even that would be, but to make such a change from within the 6.x branch is pretty inconsiderate IMHO. Given the above, it would be senseless to create a port of lazarus, which would require a port of the patched fpc sources, (as a dependency), and then have a development system which was tied to a particular version of freebsd.

No, it's not senseless. You can *ask* the various libraries what they need, by runnig gdk-pixbuf-config --libs, for example. However, you shouldn't need to do that. Adding something like USE_GNOME=gdkpixbuf to your port Makefile will cause the Makefile to add all the appropriate dependencies to CFLAGS. Except you may not use CFLAGS, and may have to go back to gdk-pixbuf-config to get the data you need. You may even need to tweak the output to make it accpetable to fpc. Basically, this change is only really painfull if you want to distribute binaries. In that case, you could, as mentioned above,distribute binaries of the libraries as well. Or you could not support anything prior to 6.1 (actually, that's not correct - my 5.5 system has the new library naming). Or - since this change is in the ports system, not FreeBSD proper, and the ports tree can be updated independently of the base system, require that 6.0 users update their ports tree and the libraries in question.

Yes, but the sources Makefile would have to be not only version aware, but also port-status aware as well, and then call ld with the proper args. Worse, if 6.5 comes out, and the libs are renamed to libgdk.1.2.0 for instance, then no one will know what to look for until something breaks. If you want to distribute binaries, you could simply include the correct libraries in your tarball, and only install them if they aren't installed. Actually, my first thought would be to check whether or not the old lib-name was there, and, if so simply ln -s old-lib new-lib via the install script; something I believe the development team should have done when they changed the names, simply to maintain backwards compatibility. However, I don't know what effect this would have on a port upgrade, (I am a newbie on day 10 of FreeBSD) if the upgrade finds the new-lib-name as a link? Barf-Time? FreeBSD is not limited to software available through the ports collection alone, nor should it be. I'm just trying to point out some ways you can deal with it. Yes, and thanks! I think I will ask what the lead time is on the FPC-2.0.4 release. If it will be soon, and if this issue is resolved, then I will simply start over at that point :-) Otherwise, I will have to rethink how to deal with this in the long run. Thanks for your many suggestions, and for your help!

Re: [bugs] SMP, KDE3 and OpenOffice
Hi Andrew, Thanks for your reply: Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 10:35:50 +1000 From: Andrew Reilly [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... On Sun, Jul 16, 2006 at 03:12:49PM +1000, Rob Hurle wrote: I'm trying to set up FreeBSD on my box, which has an Intel D945GNT motherboard, two 3.2GHz processors, 1GB memory. The system installs OK and I've been able to use cvsup to upgrade everything, remake the kernel (for SMP), build OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 KDE 3.5. Just to clarify, are those processors amd64/em64, or ia32? Are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit system on them? Aah. I see from your uname, below, that you're running i386 code. That should remove a few potential pitfalls. They are supposed to be ia32, but here is part of the dmesg output (I don't quite understand all of this): ... AMD Features=0x2010NX,LM Logical CPUs per core: 2 real memory = 1072087040 (1022 MB) avail memory = 1039990784 (991 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 2 ioapic0 Version 2.0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard kbd1 at kbdmux0 acpi0: INTEL D945GNT on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) ... 1. Only one processor seems to be used.

My AMD-X2 dual core system has been up a good deal longer than yours, but the idle times are still fairly different: root 12 99.0 0.0 016 ?? RL8Jul06 9797:24.05 [idle: cpu0] root 11 98.5 0.0 016 ?? RL8Jul06 11206:02.27 [idle: cpu1] Hmm, yes. Maybe I don't have a problem. I haven't yet stretched it, although I noticed while building a new kernel - which I did the old way, before reading UPDATING :-( - that there was no activity on the other CPU. 3. OpenOffice.org does not like any of the files produced from anywhere else. I have stuff written in StarOffice 5.2 and in MS Word, but none of these will open. Even stuff written using OpenOffice.org 2 on a MS system is not acceptable. The error is always General I/O Error. OpenOffice will read files that it has written quite OK and permissions, ownership, etc all seem to be OK. I believe that most of the OOo file import functionality is provided by Java modules, and it will successfully build without this functionality if you don't have or don't want to run Java. Do you have a working native Java implementation? You might need to get Java going before building (or re-building) OOo. Yes, I was aware of this, and installed jdk1.4.2 and jdk1.5.0 before building OOo. I built 1.4.2 first, but I think jdk 1.5.0 is the native FreeBSD one? However, I noticed today that there is a src.zip file in the jdk1.5.0 directory. I unzipped this, and maybe I now need to rebuild OOo. I'll try this when I get some time. Thanks again for your help.

How to let USB WLAN adapters (AirVast) to work on FreeBSD
Hi, runing FreeBSD 5.4, but I can't acess Internet :(, because I failed to let my wireless (USB) Car to work on FreeBSD. I saw this information at 'dmesg': ugen0: AirVast Taiwan IEEE 802.11b USB, rev1.10/1.32 I read 'wi' support Intersil Prism-3, so I want to 'kldload if_wi', but it answered me 'pccard and pci's wi already exists'.

Problem in Starting KDE
I run FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. About a week ago, I made the egregious mistake of deleting the '/var/db/pkg' directory, so I had no choice but to portmanager everything back (I build from ports). This wasn't actually so bad since I didn't have CXXFLAGS configured the first time, so at least now I would get optimized binaries (as an aside, are '-O9 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse' the best options for a Duron(TM) ~1000MHz?). But now, I am having major problems starting KDE (3.5.3): 1) When I run 'startx' from the shell, the screen clicks into video mode, I see the X black-and-white wallpaper for an instant, then it turns black with the 'X'-mouse (it's responsive), and stays that way forever, until I kill X. I captured the tty output: == xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.7480 /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (argv):1: bad display name Compy:0 in list command /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name Compy:0 in add command X Window System Version 6.9.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.9 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 6.1 i386 [ELF] Current Operating System: FreeBSD Compy 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #1: Tue Jul 4 20:39:59 PDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MYKERNEL i386 Build Date: 14 July 2006 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
