Re: Port dependency tool (if that's what you'd call it)
Modulok wrote: I'm not quite sure how to put into word what I want, so bear with me. Is there a tool in the base system which does something along these lines: 1. Look at the makefile of a given port as far as its RUN_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS. 2. Subtracting what I have already installed, provide me with information about what would be fetched (and possibly installed) in an easy-to-digest format, recursively (for all dependents of dependents ... and so on). If not part of the base system, is there a port which offers this functionality? The standard ports for this kind of functionality are port-mgmt/portupgrade port-mgmt/portmaster 'portupgrade' is the older utility; 'portmaster' has recently come on the scene, with slightly different aims. I use 'portupgrade' as I haven't really spent the time to learn about 'portmaster'. Once 'portupgrade' is installed, and you have built its database with 'pkgdb', you should be able to answer your second question via freebsd$ portupgrade --noexecute --upward-recursive PORTNAME where PORTNAME is the name of the port (qv. 'ports_glob' for how this is specified) to give you information on what needs to be updated. You might need to trim the output a bit to get the succinct list of dependencies that need updating, but the output of 'portupgrade' is quite regular so a little regexp'in in your preferred scripting language should bring you to the result you want. There may be other more direct routes to the information you seek, but this way will definitely work. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [T]his is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive knotting into. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: scsi raid geometry high-point rocketraid 1640
2007/4/30, Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I have a raidcontroller high-point 1640 with 4 disks of 400 GB in a raid 5 array given me 1200 GB. The bios utility of the controller zero build the array with 64 kb FDISK says that the geometry is 145923/255/63 and it is incorrect. Then it says that for scsi it is the translation mode the raid controller is using. Usually you want to accept what fdisk does. Just make the slices that you want. Geometry is virtual on these systems. How do I find this? If I continue with the defaults I only get 1144654 MB like missing 100 GB. Well, I would expect you to get something less than 1,490 GB just from the difference between the manufacturer use of GB (1,000,000,000 Bytes) and the way the OS uses GB (1,073,741,824 Bytes). That is the missing link, the raid controller says 1200 GB if recalculated, using 1.073741824 it gives 1,117.59 GB multiplied by 1024 it gives 1144409 MB which is what FDISK gives default. I don't know how much the raidcontroller eats up to manage the raid. Raid 5 takes a piece for its redundancy/error correction. A raid 5 would eat at least 20% and maybe up to 30% if it is rather inefficient. WIth 4 disks it is 25% as 4th disk make the redundancy. After that you will lose some because of inconvenient remnants of space that doesn't get used. Then, there are amounts for superblocks and other aspects of building a filesystem, etc. I think that tends to be around 10% altogether. So, your number seems somewhat probable, offhand, without detailed calculations. What operations did you do to get to that point? Mine would be an fdisk that makes one slice of the entire device, a bsdlabel that divides the slice in to about 6 partitions (including swap) and a newfs on each partition except swap. I only need the array only for one big slice and one partition for data storage. Thanks for the help -- Klaus F.

For example, my cell phone's e-mail address is in our monitoring scripts to page me in the event of a server failure. I would be pretty pissed off if Sprint suddenly started greylisting. It isn't just dumb-ass users making stupid political decisions to reject it, although in your case it probably was. If it is a legitimate mail server, it would be promoted to the auto- whitelist. Not all mail is constantly greylisted by most intelligent greylist systems. Only the first few messages would be delayed, until it is established as legitimate. That won't work in my case since I generally only have a failure that causes a problem which results in paging about once every 3 months or so. By the time the pages got through the greylist it would be at least an hour later after the system had gone down. That isn't acceptable for a notification system. What? What do you mean, a failure that causes a problem which results in paging once every 3 months? If your mail server tries to contact another mail server and it can't reach it, you're saying your mail server doesn't retry for an hour? If the monitoring system notices something down, I have to know about it within a few minutes. I cannot wait for the mailserver that sends the page out to retry sending the page to the cell carrier's mailserver in an hour. Ted, usually I find your posts intelligent and food for thought, but I almost think you're doing this on purpose now. No, the problem is you haven't understood the point I was making. When you're setting it up, you would set up manually to have your own system whitelisted. The system that would cause problems if it ran greylisting is not MY system. It's the mailserver owned by the cellular company that I am sending to. If they went and installed greylisting it is highly unlikely I could get them to whitelist me. (have you ever, for example, tried to get a system off AOL's internal blacklist?) I would assume that if you really don't own your own domain/mail system, you still would have a provider that would whitelist *themselves* so you could send the email from your provider to yourself. If you're using SMS, I would personally either tell my phone provider about it or send a few messages myself to have it whitelist the entry and then periodically test the system, since really you should be testing such systems periodically anyway (and make sure the listing is still working). You said yourself you use greylisting, I thought. Don't you already have a system like this in place? Things go down rarely. The moonitoring system is not continually sending out pages to my cell phone every day. Many times many months will pass in between the monitoring system sending my cell phone a page. If the cell phone company was running greylisting, any whitelist entry for my monitoring system would be gone by then. We rarely lose power to the buildings, but our generator system still kicks over once a week to test. Why can't you send a page once or twice a week to make sure it's working properly? Well for starters I have to know that the cell carrier is in fact greylisting. You can't put a workaround in for something you don't know. As far as I know they aren't greylisting right now - but if they start up doing it in the future I doubt I'll be told in advance. For all I know they have a cluster of SMTP receivers and sending a page a week might not get all of them updated. And they might expire before a week, or they might be expiring at a week then without warning change it to 3 days. For another thing I get charged every time I receive a text message on my phone. But mainly, why should I have to do this? I have a life, and cellular pages and calls are intrusive and I have to drop

Cell phone companies won't take pages any other way no matter how much you want them to. This might be a good time to learn about outfits like clickatell.com that provide SMS gateway service. They charge about 10 cents a message. Your still not getting the point. The monitoring system speaks e-mail. If it speaks e-mail to the cell carrier and the cell carrier starts greylisting it is screwed. If it speaks e-mail to the SMS gateway service and the gateway service starts greylisting it is still screwed. Instead of monitoring system substitute one of many, many, many other embedded devices that use e-mail to send notifications. For example, print servers, UPSes, ethernet-to-ethernet hardware routers, etc. I don't understand why people are focusing on trying to redesign the monitoring system I'm using. Don't you have any imagination at all? The point was that there are legitimate situations where the delays introduced by greylisting are a problem. I used the monitoring system as an example to make it easy to grasp the point. If it would help, I'll stop talking about it and use another example. Sure, it's possible to modify the greylist to whitelist. That implies that the sender knows greylisting is happening, knows how to get the recipient to whitelist, it implies the recipient is even willing to whitelist, etc. Imagine a cell company that puts in greylisting being deluged by 30% of their million-plus userbase requesting to be whitelisted for just the reason I cited. Do you think it would be realistic for the cell company to do this? Sure it's also possible to do something like reconfigure the monitoring system to just call a page-only number that goes to a pager and use touch tones to put in a message, then to wear a pager instead of the cell phone. There are workarounds to the monitoring scenario I cited. That does not prove there are workarounds to every one of these kinds of scenarios.

How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?
Hi all, I'm trying to create a pristine xorg.conf, but I've been unable to find proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh for my Dell Latitude D610. I've tried the values presented in MonitorsDB http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/hwdata/MonitorsDB?view=markup for Dell 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel, which are HorizSync 31.5-90.0 and VertRefresh 59.0-75.0, but I get a warning in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for both of them saying they are not within DDC ranges. I've tried looking around the Dell web pages, but I haven't found any pages mentioning these parameters (not too surprising, really). I've tried to leave these settings out, but even then I get a warning: (WW) I810(0): config file hsync range 60-66.3158kHz not within DDC hsync ranges. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the other warnings I get during startup: (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum and (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed. It seems that a DDC (or, apparently, DDS) query should be able to determine these numbers, but cd /usr/ports make search name=ddc make search name=dds doesn't give any tools to deal with this.

X/gnome through ssh, clashes with local gnome?
Hi list, I want to connect X from my Ubuntu machine to my local FreeBSD machine, through ssh. Sofar ssh and X are working, but Gnome/GDM/Metacity seem to have issues. I really wonder whether this has something to do with the fact that on Ubuntu I also have Gnome running. Anyway, when I log into FreeBSD and start gnome-session, this is what I get on the console: SESSION_MANAGER=local/celeron2.lan:/tmp/.ICE-unix/34272 Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. ** (gnome-panel:34290): WARNING **: Failed to authenticate with GDM ^C What I see happening is an error window coming up on screen, saying that the Gnome-Settings daemon failed. There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Process /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 1 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. After that the standard gnome loading panel comes up in front of me(sometimes), loading 'The Panel' and such, after which I see my top Ubuntu gnome menubar change into the FreeBSD gnome menubar. When I click on items in the top menubar I do see the FreeBSD menuoptions and I can start programs, but I still see my Ubuntu background, bottom menubar and Ubuntu programs running. In other words, both gnome's seem to be working at the same time, but not very well together. It's the first time I am working with remote X through SSH. RDP and VNC are the things I am more used to. So I am sorry if I am making stupid n00b mistakes, but yes, I am sure I am missing something totally obvious. I do read (with Google) that there is confusion about XDMCP versus X through SSH. I definitely want only the latter and have not enabled XDMCP. (consciously) So, what strikes me as very odd: GDM is allowing tcp connections and I get gnome on screen, but the error message says that I could not be authenticated. UID problem?

OpenGL in KDE only on top 420 pixels
Hi all, I'm currently running KDE 3.5.6 on 6.2-RELEASE, and I've tested OpenGL with the screen savers from the OpenGL Screen Sav... [sic] category.

I just read about a fanless power-supply and then realized I needed some input. It's possible to run systems which don't use enough power to need fans, but you have to design the system accordingly using either underclocked components or low-power/laptop-oriented CPU and video. Most desktop systems are going to run too hot without some form of active cooling. Also, you probably should start by opening the case and seeing what is making all of the noise: it might be a CPU fan or even a chipset fan, and not the PSU fan, which is causing most of the racket. For the PSU, good vendors include Antec, Foxconn, and Enermax...look for a unit which has a single smart (thermally controlled) 120mm fan, as the larger fan can run at a lower speed and still move enough air. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then it says that for scsi it is the translation mode the raid controller is using. Usually you want to accept what fdisk does. Just make the slices that you want. Geometry is virtual on these systems. How do I find this? If I continue with the defaults I only get 1144654 MB like missing 100 GB. Well, I would expect you to get something less than 1,490 GB just from the difference between the manufacturer use of GB (1,000,000,000 Bytes) and the way the OS uses GB (1,073,741,824 Bytes). That is the missing link, the raid controller says 1200 GB if recalculated, using 1.073741824 it gives 1,117.59 GB multiplied by 1024 it gives 1144409 MB which is what FDISK gives default. Wow. Don't tell me I got one (out of how many?). I shall celebrate. jerry I don't know how much the raidcontroller eats up to manage the raid. Raid 5 takes a piece for its redundancy/error correction. A raid 5 would eat at least 20% and maybe up to 30% if it is rather inefficient. WIth 4 disks it is 25% as 4th disk make the redundancy. After that you will lose some because of inconvenient remnants of space that doesn't get used. Then, there are amounts for superblocks and other aspects of building a filesystem, etc. I think that tends to be around 10% altogether. So, your number seems somewhat probable, offhand, without detailed calculations. What operations did you do to get to that point? Mine would be an fdisk that makes one slice of the entire device, a bsdlabel that divides the slice in to about 6 partitions (including swap) and a newfs on each partition except swap. I only need the array only for one big slice and one partition for data storage. Thanks for the help -- Klaus F.

RE: pop up message
Using a different virtual root terminal is side stepping the question. The correct answer is to edit /etc/syslog.conf and change the error messages from going to /dev/console to go to /var/log/messages instead. Or in some circles the Unix purists would say you should not be using the root user id as your normal id. Root should be reserved for doing system install tasks and system administration tasks only. Create your self a user id to use as your normal id doing all your non-system tasks under. Then when you logon to root you will see only the pop up messages as a summary of things you as system admin needs to be alerted to. That's how root id its intended to be used. But by changing syslog.conf you can change this default behavior of the alerting messages being sent to root user id. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joe Ryan Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 11:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: pop up message These messages are normal and are only visible on the first virtual terminal (alt+f1).

Re: No SMB/Samba support on Windows Home Editions
1) Windows Home editions (including XP and Vista) have support for SMB protocol disabled in Active Directory Domain Connections functionality! Is this true? ... I've been doing this for a long time (just not with Vista), but what was said is just as true for XP, so I assume nothing further is disabled in vista. There's been alot of replies over the weeked, but I don't think any cuts to the heart of the matter. * They are just telling you you can't have a domain or active directory, we actually ran one for a while, and the maintenence cost to keep the thing happy was one of the factors that made me learn fbsd. * When someone said 'peer to peer', I think they were really talking about a workgroup as opposed to a domain - it's not really peer to peer, afaik, but the analogy works. 1) Just set your 'home' box to a random 'workgroup' in the network setup - you are not going to use it anyway. 2) Get your smb box running. 3) Map a network drive in windows, and use the IP for the smb box. I have NEVER had a 'workgroup' function correctly. Boxes all wired on the same 100-T switch, and they still can't see eachother? Amazing. Just use the IP adress (i.e. \\192.168.1.xyz\mysmbshare) to map the drive and you will never have a problem. Oh, and as you are on a fbsd box, I assume the capitalization of 'mysmbshare' must be correct, although samba might 'fix' that for you. I just followed the instructions in the handbook and samba.org, and had things working in an hour or two.

Spammers are adapting to greylisting. I've been running it for at least 2 years now and every month more and more spam is making it past the greylist and getting caught by spamassassin. As I mentioned previously, it does not take a lot of programming effort to do it. Sure they're adapting. They're also adapting to Spamassassin. That's a bit different. It is trivial to adapt to greylisting. It is not trivial to adapt to spamassassin, particularly if they have the learner turned on. Yes, it takes more. I would also say that when it's a game of them blasting out as much as possible to hammer 1 or 2 through for every 1000 that doesn't, greylisting isn't something they all think about, especially if greylisting is contributing to a backup in their sending queue (or it is bouncing mail to nonexistent mail servers to retry later, and since they don't exist or didn't send it in the first place, the message *won't come back*). My point is/was that no matter what you're trying, until there's solid authentication of senders in place any statistical or gee-whiz method of combating SPAM will be met by adaptation, so dismissing a method just because it's simple to bypass doesn't mean it isn't going to stop a few more of the messages. The fact that it doesn't take a lot of programming effort isn't the reason, Yes, it is actually. Because for the simple reason that the small amount of programming effort required makes it possible to countermand greylisting AT ALL. And also make the spammer advertise who is sending the mail and thus allow it to be tracked. It isn't possible, I think, for a spammer to programmically get through a SA setup with the learner turned on, that has a dictionary that has been built up through both ham and spam submissions. The main reason spammers do get past that has more to do with the difficult of getting normal users to properly feed the learner. But the problem from the spammers point of view is that in the Internet, 10 different SA sites could have 10 different rules. But 10 different greylist sites will all act the same, so if your going to put effort into countering the filters, you would be smarter to counter greylisting first. It's still one more hurdle. Tarpitting, greylisting, SPF, reversing MX records...all simple things to get around, yet add one more layer of headache for the spammer.

Re: Greylisting -- Was: Anti Spam
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Ted, usually I find your posts intelligent and food for thought, but I almost think you're doing this on purpose now. No, the problem is you haven't understood the point I was making. Here's the summary as I understand it. You're against greylisting because: a) it's easy to circumvent b) you use it, but the effectiveness has been wearing off c) greylisting could mean that you would not be notified if your servers went down and cell companies started using greylisting, or you would be notified with a huge delay Is this accurate? When you're setting it up, you would set up manually to have your own system whitelisted. The system that would cause problems if it ran greylisting is not MY system. It's the mailserver owned by the cellular company that I am sending to. If they went and installed greylisting it is highly unlikely I could get them to whitelist me. (have you ever, for example, tried to get a system off AOL's internal blacklist?) It is a huge pain, and while the administrative BS is a pain in the butt to cut through, the difference between blacklisting and greylisting is that greylisting isn't a block. It's a pause. And automatic pause. Blacklisting can impede you with little recourse for an indefinite period of time, but greylisting just tells your server to try again later. This is exactly what would happen if you were having actual mail server problems. I was mistaken previously in thinking you were referring to your own server running the greylist. But I still stand by the assertion that it's not so big a problem when someone else is running it...send a couple messages periodically and it should allow your domain into their mail servers without delay. Well for starters I have to know that the cell carrier is in fact greylisting. You can't put a workaround in for something you don't know. Doesn't this help kind of prove my point, if it's a measure you don't even know is there? If you send a test message periodically and it becomes delayed in your queue, then suddenly goes through, I would speculate that they're greylisting. Some systems may even issue a message to that effect when you connect. If you keep sending periodic keepalives, you should see them go through without getting stuck in the mail queue. As far as I know they aren't greylisting right now - but if they start up doing it in the future I doubt I'll be told in advance. For all I know they have a cluster of SMTP receivers and sending a page a week might not get all of them updated. And they might expire before a week, or they might be expiring at a week then without warning change it to 3 days. If they're not all getting updated, there's a problem with their implementation. That would be part of the point of using greylisting. Otherwise a message would hit system A, get greylisted, then risk coming in to system B the next time as a fresh connect and then delayed again until the sender either gives up or hits a system that did have the sender listed on the waiting list and allow the message to get through. For another thing I get charged every time I receive a text message on my phone. But mainly, why should I have to do this? I have a life, and cellular pages and calls are intrusive and I have to drop what I'm doing and pay attention to them. And yet you want the servers to page you when you have a problem. There's nothing I can really suggest here because it's an argument in what you can live with. You are going to insist you want it done your way no matter what, to the point where you refuse to carry a second cellphone paid by the employer and you won't test the connection because apparently you have a sucky cell plan that doesn't give you X number of free text messages. You even start saying you have a life and don't want to put up with the messages once a week because it's such a hassle but don't seem to mind putting up with one or two spam messages having to be manually deleted out of the inbox. It's also ironic that you are on call 24/7 and can't get away from the electronic tether but say you have a life that can't be bothered. If I send a page at night then I am going to get woken up at night, if I send a page during the day it might come in when I'm in the middle of a conversation with a customer, if I send it in the evening then who knows I might be in the middle of boffing my S.O. If you scheduled it, you can schedule it for whenever it would probably be most convenient. I can't believe you're so busy you can't spare your phone making a buzz or ding once or twice a week on a regular basis yet you have no problem with the randomness of phone calls and messages from other people or even your servers going down. If this is such a stressor in your life, why are you carrying a cellphone in the first place? Sure, there's Rube Goldberg ways around anything. But the point of this was to illustrate

He mentions a video BIOS patch called '915resolution'.

It's listed at the end of my email. In case my message was unclear, I've already managed to get the native resolution. I'm only looking for the proper HorizSync / VertRefresh rates, to avoid frying my graphics card or screen, and to get the maximum out of my hardware at the same time. I've already tried rates from several articles, but all of them result in warnings that the rates are outside the DDC spec, and none of them document where the numbers are from.

Re: Is FreeBSD simple enough for Novices, Will FreeBSD accept Office 98 + Publisher?
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: When I wrote my book Addison Wesley used Quark internally, but required me to submit my manuscript -on paper-. They then retyped it, sent me the proofs (which had enormous numbers of typos in them) I corrected and sent back. I asked them if I gave them the manuscript in Quark source files if they would take that, (because I had access to a pirated copy of Quark and figured I would import what I had written my book in) and they would not. They required a paper manuscript. Thus, use whatever you want to write your book - if your going to get it published most likely your publisher will not be using what your using. :-D --- a good insight. Team written books with some of today's publishers are even worse --- some friends of mine had a tome published with plenty of errors, including Microsoft Word auto-corrections inside their code blocks (I will grant that the publisher wasn't quite Addison-Wesley in stature).

Re: Greylisting -- Was: Anti Spam
Cellular operators know that their clients expect speedy delivery of SMS, including those sent via SMTP. Actually, in my experience SMTP to SMS gateways can have significant delays unrelated to greylisting. Travel agencies like Orbitz send out notices about flight changes and delays via SMTP-SMS and as often as not I only get the notice when I turn my phone back on after the delayed flight has landed. Have you confirmed with your cellular operator that they don't offer additional gateways; e.g. based on ICQ, HTTP and whatnot? There are third party services that do this. For example, clickatell.com offers a HTTP POST to SMS gateway quite cheaply, about 10 cents a message at low volumes. Having been dealing with spam for over a decade, I cannot tell you how tired I am of people whining that the world better not implement some effective anti-abuse technique because it would cause them a minor inconvenience due to their particular uncommon setup. Spam sucks. Deal with it. R's, John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: X/gnome through ssh, clashes with local gnome?
2007/4/30, WarrenHead [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi list, I want to connect X from my Ubuntu machine to my local FreeBSD machine, through ssh. Sofar ssh and X are working, but Gnome/GDM/Metacity seem to have issues. I really wonder whether this has something to do with the fact that on Ubuntu I also have Gnome running. Anyway, when I log into FreeBSD and start gnome-session, this is what I get on the console: SESSION_MANAGER=local/celeron2.lan:/tmp/.ICE-unix/34272 Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. ** (gnome-panel:34290): WARNING **: Failed to authenticate with GDM ^C What I see happening is an error window coming up on screen, saying that the Gnome-Settings daemon failed. There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Process /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 1 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. After that the standard gnome loading panel comes up in front of me(sometimes), loading 'The Panel' and such, after which I see my top Ubuntu gnome menubar change into the FreeBSD gnome menubar. When I click on items in the top menubar I do see the FreeBSD menuoptions and I can start programs, but I still see my Ubuntu background, bottom menubar and Ubuntu programs running. In other words, both gnome's seem to be working at the same time, but not very well together. It's the first time I am working with remote X through SSH. RDP and VNC are the things I am more used to. So I am sorry if I am making stupid n00b mistakes, but yes, I am sure I am missing something totally obvious. I do read (with Google) that there is confusion about XDMCP versus X through SSH. I definitely want only the latter and have not enabled XDMCP. (consciously) So, what strikes me as very odd: GDM is allowing tcp connections and I get gnome on screen, but the error message says that I could not be authenticated. UID problem? Username and password are the same.

Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. ** (gnome-panel:34290): WARNING **: Failed to authenticate with GDM ^C What I see happening is an error window coming up on screen, saying that the Gnome-Settings daemon failed. There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Process /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 1 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. After that the standard gnome loading panel comes up in front of me(sometimes), loading 'The Panel' and such, after which I see my top Ubuntu gnome menubar change into the FreeBSD gnome menubar. When I click on items in the top menubar I do see the FreeBSD menuoptions and I can start programs, but I still see my Ubuntu background, bottom menubar and Ubuntu programs running. In other words, both gnome's seem to be working at the same time, but not very well together. It's the first time I am working with remote X through SSH. RDP and VNC are the things I am more used to. So I am sorry if I am making stupid n00b mistakes, but yes, I am sure I am missing something totally obvious. I do read (with Google) that there is confusion about XDMCP versus X through SSH. I definitely want only the latter and have not enabled XDMCP. (consciously) So, what strikes me as very odd: GDM is allowing tcp connections and I get gnome on screen, but the error message says that I could not be authenticated. UID problem? Username and password are the same. Cheers, Warren Hi list, I noticed that only these output lines are related to connecting from my ubuntu machine; Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost: 10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display localhost:10.0 already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. I just used a windows machine with Xming and that worked fine, except for the GDM message about not being authenticated. So, does this give anybody a clue as to what is malconfigured? Cheers, Warren 2 points: 1) Mmm, on Windows it all works very very slow, although both 'top' on FreeBSD (as the ssh server and X client) and processexplorer on windows (ssh client and X server) do not report a lot of processor activity. Then why is it all sooo slow? Does anybody have any performance experience with Xming? 2) It seems xdm is still working from time to time. It shows up in top whenever I move the mouse around or click something in Gnome. I guess I found a good clue as to why GDM can not authenticate me as a user. XDM seems to have taken that liberty. I don't know how to tell it to stop doing that, besides what I already did with this line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 I guess there is more to it?

Instead of trying to use portupgrade and have it fail out/fix/restart, I was thinking life would be easier if I just removed anything graphical and start that from scratch. This way all my settings/data remain intact and I can just do a pkg install the new stuff. Is anyone aware of a quick/safe way of blowing away nearly all installed apps as such to start from near scratch. I do use bash and probably a couple other non-GUI installs, so I didn't necessarily want to kill _all_ installed ports/pkgs but I might be willing to do that if needed. Any thought on the best way to approach this? The best method I have come up with is to first gather a list of leaf packages with ports-mgmt/portmaster: $ portmaster -l and then (assuming you have ports-mgmt/portupgrade installed): $ pkg_deinstall -r leaf pkg names or $ pkg_delete -r leaf pkg names ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves is a bit overly thorough (and underly[1] conservative) for my tastes, but may be more your style. This shouldn't delete anything required by the stuff you want to keep and should clean out most of the kipple. Multiple runs are suggested and deleting root packages (as listed under portmaster -l) most likely won't harm anything (though some of them may be reinstalled when you upgrade). pkg_deinstall has the advantage of being able to issue $ pkg_deinstall -Rr kde* , which will delete anything requiring kde and required by kde (at least that is not required by some other package), and the disadvantage of requiring that both perl and ruby be installed. I ended up just creating a new user with a /bin/sh shell, doing a pkg_delete -a and reinstalling the apps. I was very impressed with how quickly pkg_add -r xorg and such (from the handbook) ran and got me back to a working desktop. Just need to selectively add any app I really want reinstalled now.

The point was that there are legitimate situations where the delays introduced by greylisting are a problem. I used the monitoring system as an example to make it easy to grasp the point. If it would help, I'll stop talking about it and use another example. Probably because if this is truly a mission-critical if it fails you're going to lose your business type system, there would be more redundancy than just relying on an email to your cell provider, because: A) greylisting by it's nature will not block you or delay you if you're legit and are registered legit B) what happens when your cell is out of range, off for some reason, fell in the toilet, broken, etc. C) what guarantee do you have your cell phone will be always working 100% of the time D) what if your monitoring system fails because something blocks or breaks email, period You're making it sound as if greylisting is a terrible idea because once your failure system won't notify you for some unspecified period of time. I, and others most likely, are saying that it wouldn't take much for you to get it working just fine whether the cell carrier used it or not. And even then, you haven't made a case that ISPs or businesses still couldn't use it...the inconvenience you point out still could be worked around simply by doing what I suggested before, registering legit by periodically sending a quick message, and if you get charged for a short short message like that, then you probably need a new cell plan if that is pushing you over your free time, or start having your employer compensate you for using your personal equipment for business use. Sure, it's possible to modify the greylist to whitelist. I thought most did. That was part of the way they work. That implies that the sender knows greylisting is happening, knows how to get the recipient to whitelist, it implies the recipient is even willing to whitelist, etc. What greylist program are you using? As I recall systems I've seen like Postgrey automatically track connections and after a certain number of connections will whitelist them, as they would be established as legitimate and, contrary to what your arguments make them out, greylisters aren't there just to slow down everyone's email. Once established, they let the email right through. You're making it sound like it's a huge undertaking to get this ability up and working. Imagine a cell company that puts in greylisting being deluged by 30% of their million-plus userbase requesting to be whitelisted for just the reason I cited. Do you think it would be realistic for the cell company to do this? Realistically the userbase wouldn't really even know. It's the SAME thing that would happen if your email server were screwed up. Your mail server should retry within a sane period of time. The vast majority of your imaginary userbase would probably become whitelisted before they were even aware anything happened. If the majority of those users are using a popular mail service, it's not like 30,000 users are making 30,000 requests to their server. The majority of those users are probably using addresses from hotmail, gmail, etc...so if 10,000 were on hotmail, 15,000 were on gmail, and 5,000 were on aol, what are the odds that there's not already a load of traffic between those sites to the greylisting site? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's the mailserver owned by the cellular company that I am sending to. If they went and installed greylisting it is highly unlikely I could get them to whitelist me. (have you ever, for example, tried to get a system off AOL's internal blacklist?) Yes, that's indeed a problem; but how likely would that be? Cellular operators know that their clients expect speedy delivery of SMS, including those sent via SMTP. They know better than to introduce greylisting latency at the gateway when there's already normal latency at the SMSC. Have you confirmed with your cellular operator that they don't offer additional gateways; e.g. based on ICQ, HTTP and whatnot? Most likely, they don't offer SMPP-over-TCP connections to end-users ( http://www.smsforum.net/ ), but probably to a couple of third-party providers that you could use instead? This won't work because you're suggesting he change the system he likes. No matter what, greylisting to him is apparently impossible because users need their email as an instant messaging service. The possibility of establishing a domain into a whitelist or testing a connection and notification system periodically, which would put his domain into their imaginary whitelist, is simply too inconvenient, unlike the deletion of spam that a greylist could have prevented coming into my inbox. That apparently isn't inconvenient or annoying in the least. I apparently hold the wrong view. I think greylisting is still a pain in the butt for spammers. It causes mail servers to have to take the time to retry email, something spammers don't like wasting time doing. If they're doing something to spoof connections then the mail would not even retry because it's going to an illegitimate or nonexistent mail server. But none of this is possibly even a percentage of help for your mail server. Apparently the extra layers to try slowing or easing the load on your server is a waste because it's *possible* to bypass it without resorting to math magic like the stats poisoning used against SpamAssassin now. For me, I want to slow their servers and waste their resources, just like they waste my CPU and storage space. I don't use email as an IM service nor do I use it as a critical availability service without investing lots and lots of money on redundancy, so I don't see the problem with companies using greylisting. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: No SMB/Samba support on Windows Home Editions

There's been alot of replies over the weeked, but I don't think any cuts to the heart of the matter. * They are just telling you you can't have a domain or active directory, we actually ran one for a while, and the maintenence cost to keep the thing happy was one of the factors that made me learn fbsd. * When someone said 'peer to peer', I think they were really talking about a workgroup as opposed to a domain - it's not really peer to peer, afaik, but the analogy works. 1) Just set your 'home' box to a random 'workgroup' in the network setup - you are not going to use it anyway. 2) Get your smb box running. 3) Map a network drive in windows, and use the IP for the smb box.

there a tool in the base system which does something along these lines:
1. Look at the makefile of a given port as far as its RUN_DEPENDS and
BUILD_DEPENDS.
2. Subtracting what I have already installed, provide me with information
about what would be fetched (and possibly installed) in an easy-to-digest
format, recursively (for all dependents of dependents ... and so on).
If not part of the base system, is there a port which offers this
functionality?
Thank ye.

Both,
make pretty-print-run-depends-list,
make pretty-print-build-depends-list
can help you out.
I don't know of anything in base that does it, but what I've done is use
this script (it's not perfect)
#!/bin/sh
#
# Much love Min1ster
#
for i in `make pretty-print-build-depends-list | awk -F\ '{print $2 }'`
do
hasit=`pkg_info -E $i`
if [ -z $hasit ]; then
echo $i is not installed
else
:
# (not needed)echo Everythings there, dude

Re: BSDstats: Minor Update to Port ...

I've just made a slight change to the port so that it adds a bsdstats.sh script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d that can be enabled in /etc/rc.conf so that it runs on system reboot ...

I just read about a fanless power-supply and then realized I needed some input. It's possible to run systems which don't use enough power to need fans, but you have to design the system accordingly using either underclocked components or low-power/laptop-oriented CPU and video. Most desktop systems are going to run too hot without some form of active cooling. Also, you probably should start by opening the case and seeing what is making all of the noise: it might be a CPU fan or even a chipset fan, and not the PSU fan, which is causing most of the racket. For the PSU, good vendors include Antec, Foxconn, and Enermax...look for a unit which has a single smart (thermally controlled) 120mm fan, as the larger fan can run at a lower speed and still move enough air. Thanks everyone for the help here, I've learned alot as a result. After alot of reading reviews I took a drive at lunch and purchased the following powersupply: http://www.xoxide.com/seasonic-s12-430w-psu.html I will of view the interior of the case again with the above mentioned clues in mind and see what can be unplugged.

Re: How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?

I've tried the values presented in MonitorsDB http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/hwdata/MonitorsDB?view=markup for Dell 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel, which are HorizSync 31.5-90.0 and VertRefresh 59.0-75.0, but I get a warning in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for both of them saying they are not within DDC ranges. I've tried looking around the Dell web pages, but I haven't found any pages mentioning these parameters (not too surprising, really). I've tried to leave these settings out, but even then I get a warning: (WW) I810(0): config file hsync range 60-66.3158kHz not within DDC hsync ranges. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the other warnings I get during startup: (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum and (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed. This, along with the follow-ups, reminds me of a problem I had with a Dell Inspiron 5100 some years ago. In that case, X didn't map the video BIOS correctly, and so it wasn't able to read the information from the BIOS. The information includes things like the panel geometry, which in my case was being reported as 65535x65535 pixels. In your case we have: # From Xorg.0.log DisplaySize 286 214 That's clearly wrong too. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jul2003.html#25 for more details. It's worth mentioning that the problem was fixed in a later version of the system, and I can now install X on it with no problems. If this looks familiar, a couple of suggestions: 1: Try XFree86. Maybe that will work better. 2: Get hold of the latest Knoppix CD and see if that works. If it does, it might help fix the problem under FreeBSD. 3: Use the method I described in my diary to build a server with a static version of the video BIOS. The real answer, of course, is to understand why the mapping doesn't work (if, indeed, that's the problem). But this could be a start.

Setting the baud rate
I am developing a windows utility to analyse data it receives through a serial port. To test it, need to simulate the data it receives. I made a file in FreeBSD 4.11 that is a single packet. I need to send the data in this file out the serial port at 4800 baud. I would like to do a cp file /dev/cuaa0 or cat file /dev/cuaa0 but when I do this, it goes out at the wrong baud rate. When I run stty -f /dev/cuaa0, I see that cuaa0 is set to 9600 baud. When i run stty -f /dev/cuaa0 4800, it seems to run without error, but the baud rate doesnt change. How do I set the baud rate for the serial port so i can just redirect data to it and the data will be sent out at 4800 baud? jorj ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sysinstall
Some time ago I seem to remember being able to use sysinstall from a newer version CD to update an existing system. What I wanted to do was keep the original disk partitioning and just install the new system over the old one. However, with 6.2 release I don't seem to be able to do it anymore. When I get to the disk partitioning it shows the FreeBSD partition properly, but the name has changed from da0s1 to da0bs1. Hence when I get to the next step of setting up the slices it cant find da0sb1 as its not in the system. There doesn't appear to be any option to correct the name. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
