Re: Overwritten ldconfig default search path
Well, after using the following directories as the default search path and now the system is back to life! /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /lib /usr/X11R6/lib And yes the -m switch is the solution :-) Bahman On 8/10/07, Bahman M.

Best practice for SMTP relay with user authentication
Hi: I have my postfix authenticate users before accepting mail for non-local delivery. Till now, users can connect to port 25 and 465 (smtps) use STARTTLS and authenticate. But, I stumbled upon submission port 587 which is not reserved - it appeas - for a protocol but for a use? I'd like to align my configuration with best practice. Should I just move postfix to bind to port 587 or did I misunderstand that submission is indeed a different protocol? Is there any best practice for which protocol should be used for submission?

Question on the IFS variable (not a FreeBSD question)
Hi, This isn't really a FreeBSD question. But I figure most people on this list would know the answer and so I'm asking. I've tried to get the answer out of Google, but I guess I am not asking it the right question and so not getting much hits. I understand that the default value of the IFS variable in bash is space, tab, newline. For a script I am playing around with, I want to change IFS to be just newline. I tried the obvious like IFS=\n -or- IFS='\n' but that doesn't seem to do the trick coz then the letter n ends up being the separator. A bit of Google searching got me the solution too. That I must set IFS this way: IFS=$'\n' I did that, and sure enough things work the way I want! So my question is this: how come things work when I set IFS to $'\n' instead of just plain '\n'? I don't recollect seeing such a way of setting variables before, and so I'm curious about it.

See some details for this in the following post: http://osdir.com/ml/shells.bash.bugs/2004-10/msg00104.html Do a little experiment (inspired from the post stated above): #export IFS=\n #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give \n == not what you expect #export IFS='\n' #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give \n == again, not what you expect #export IFS=$'\n' #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give definitely a new line character (finally...) I am not certain of the explanation, but from the above it seems to me the IFS does not evaluate special '\something' characters unless there is a $ in front. That is, of course, what you would do to get the value of a shell variable. It seems then these characters need to be evaluated in the same way. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And those startup files are: For csh and tcsh (tcsh is the most common one in FreeBSD) the startup file is .cshrc in one's home directory. You can also create a system-wide one. For SH and bash it is .profile and for them don't forget to export any variables. jerry Hope this helps. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Network Monitor?
Is there a way to monitor what traffic is coming in/out of my network? For example: so me how much bandwidth emails are taking, how much http traffic (both in and outgoing), etc. I'd like a report broken down by traffic type like in windows.

If you're using ipfw(8) on a machine acting as a gateway and your ruleset is configured with one rule per port, you can read the packet and byte counters for each rule: (root)# ipfw show; By knowing what standard services correlate to each port (http on port 80, FTP on port 21, etc), you can get a pretty good idea of traffic. It's not exactly the ideal solution, but it's a thought. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Question on the IFS variable (not a FreeBSD question)
Manolis Kiagias wrote: Do a little experiment (inspired from the post stated above): #export IFS=\n #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give \n == not what you expect #export IFS='\n' #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give \n == again, not what you expect #export IFS=$'\n' #printf '%s\n' $IFS | cat -vt will give definitely a new line character (finally...) I am not certain of the explanation, but from the above it seems to me the IFS does not evaluate special '\something' characters unless there is a $ in front. That is, of course, what you would do to get the value of a shell variable. It seems then these characters need to be evaluated in the same way. Yup, that's what I too figured from my experiments. Strange. Oh well ... good to know now that '\n' (even in double quotes etc) need not always refer to the newline. Sometimes the $ magic is required ... :-) Thanks!

ccache never hits on buildworld or buildkernel
Hello, I'm using ccache to build FreeBSD source and ports. Ports work great, I build something once and the second time just about everything is found in the cache. For buildworld and buildkernel, however, everything is a miss. Even when not a single thing changed about the configuration or the actual source files. Below is my make.conf configuration for ccache. Ccache is being used via world-cc and world-c++ binaries for these two operations; I can see the miss counter go up in 'ccache -s'. Why is it unable to properly cache when building the source? Thanks. make.conf: .if (!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*)) \ !defined(NOCCACHE) exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache) CC= /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc CXX=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-c++ .endif .if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*) !defined(NOCCACHE) \ exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache) CC= /usr/local/libexec/ccache/cc CXX=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/c++ .endif uname -a: FreeBSD -.-.- 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Aug 12 15:45:05 EDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL i386 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since the buildworld process rebuilds the compiler ccache thinks it's a different compiler and issues a miss. From man ccache: CCACHE_NOHASH_SIZE_MTIME This tells ccache to not hash the real compiler's size and modi- fication time. Normally this is the mechanism to detect compiler upgrades. There are situations however, where even though the compiler's size or modification time has changed you can safely use the cached objects (e.g. if as part of your build system the compiler is built as well and the compiler's source has not changed; or if the compiler has only changes that do not affect code generation). Use this feature only if you know what you are doing.

Indeed setting that environment variable cut the kernel compile time from 30 minutes to 8 with only 2 misses. Now I just have to remember to disable this whenever the compiler actually does change. Wish there was a way to have installworld only copy the compiler over if it is actually different.

I might give Qemu a try. If I recall correctly, I tried Qemu in the past and the performance was very poor compared to something like VMWare.
