Re: too late to change to security branch?
Hi Bill! I have servers running 6.1 and 6.2. I use freebsd-update in cron jobs to install binary security update to the base system, and use cvsup/portupgrade in cron jobs to install port updates. By default, cvsup uses CURRENT branch. The ports system doesn't have any branches. The same tree is used between all the different FreeBSD branches so you can't just track security updates only. You track it using portupgrade/ cvsup. The base system has many branches. In your case, you seem to be following the security branches for 6.1 and 6.2 using freebsd-update. I am tired of some updates breaking something unnecessarily, and am thinking of changing to SECURITY branch in cvsup. Is that possible? Some of my ports are already locally compiled with customized options. Maybe you can provide more info on what's breaking? I use FreeBSD for a couple of headless machines. No X and other stuff, but I haven't had any breakages so far. *touchwood* Do go though the UPDATING file to check out any gotchas before updating.

Re: too late to change to security branch?
I run freebsd-update and my cvsup configuration uses *default release=cvs tag=.. I am actually following security branch, since I do not recompile the kernel, right? This cvs tag only matters if I compile the kernel, right? If you are using freebsd-update then you are following the security branch. Even if you were using cvs and had to recompile the kernel (coz of some patch there) you would still be following the security branch (**if** you are tracking the security branch, that is). In FreeBSD, the base system and the 3rd party apps are separate. The base system has the concept of branches. The 3rd party apps (ports) are shared amongst all, there's no concept of branches. So you can't just follow security updates for the 3rd party apps.

I pressed CTRL+C and it stopped but ttyv2 also stopped responding to any keyboard events (even the mouse doesn't appear there). Now when I switch to ttyvn by pressing ALT+Fn, it always switches to ttyv2 with the same text shown as the moment it stopped working. I killed all the ttyvn processes. They terminated and restarted as expected. Now they all have different PIDs than before but still I can't use them. It's the first time I'm encountering such a problem.

the continuing adventures of nvidia vs. xord 7.3
Normally I wouldn't mention this this may point to a deeper set of bugs in xorg/nv/nvidia/freebsd 7-current. Where things stood: 1. I had xorg 7.3 on freebsd 7-current (i386) 2. It did not reconize any nvidia card in anyway shape or form (nv, nvidia (even he latest beta's posted on 9/26), etc.) 3. As soon I upgraded to 7-current (amd64) and reinstalled xorg 7.3 the nv driver works My hardware: intel e6850 p35 mobo 4 gb of ram nvidia geforce 5200 GT (pci) (but had the same issue and I think actually physically damaged a 8500 gs (pci-e)) [once nvidia comes out with a stable closed source driver I will probally get an other Lessons for other people: 1. If you have a 64bit x86 like processor you should try using amd64 instead of i386 binaries 2.

That's odd. Are you sure this is a bug in 6.2, and not some local
networking setup problem?
If you have tcpdumps and/or other useful data to track this down, then
please open a bug report, as 6.2 is used by _many_ people and a bug like
this would be annoying.

Configuring FBSD to use HP Photosmart C6180

The printer works flawlessly from the WinXP machines on the network. I installed the 'hplip' port without any difficulties. I tried snmpwalk and it worked fine. The problem is that I do not know how to configure FBSD to use the printer to print with.

String manipulation in sh is painful at best. Any of the scripting

A Ruby example, almost a direct translation of the sh code:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
filenames = %w[test1 test2 test3]
filenames.each { |fn| print file_list fn }
That'll give output that looks like:
test1
test2
test3
. . . using CRLF line endings. If you actually just want newlines in the
Unix style, of course, you can just do this instead of the filenames.each
line:
puts filenames
That'll automatically output each element of the filenames array with a
newline at the end.
In Perl, that code (for the same output) might look something like this:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @filenames = qw(test1 test2 test3);
for my $fn (@filenames) { print $fn, \r\n };
Again, in Perl you can do this more easily if Unix-style newlines are
what you want instead of CRLF. In the case of Perl, you'd use the -l
option in the shebang line:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -l
. . . and replace the for loop with this:
print for @filenames;
Of course, this is all moot if you actually have a specific need for
using sh instead of Ruby or Perl. By the way, though, I think the CRLF
characters were backwards in the original post of this thread, which used
\n\r. I'm pretty sure it's \r\n as I've done it. I may just be
having a stupid day, though, and be getting them backwards myself.

Mutt Help
Hi All...I am a newbie using Mutt, and I have Fetchmail running as daemon. Fetchmail is doing its job, periodically retreiving my pop3 mail, but I am so far unable to find the correct entry for the .muttrc file which will result in Mutt automatically retrieving mail from fetchmail. Any help would be appreciated. Rem ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are there any security issues with ntp? Or, where can I find info on security issues related to ntp?

X on ThinkPad crashes after sleeping (zzz'ing)

Re: php failing to produce phpinfo()

I used pkg_add -r to install apache and mysql. Apache and mysql work excellent. I installed PHP from www.php.net. Both PHP4 and PHP5 would fail to load the phpinfo() file. I installed PHP-5.1 from the ports directory. Same problem. I ordered FreeBSD-6.1, before it was available. The FreeBSD Mall had it, but wasn't promoting it yet. About 2 years ago when I first installed FreeBSD-6.1, I installed mysql-4.0, PHP-4 and apache-1.3 on FreeBSD-6.1. I used pkg_add -r to install apache and mysql and I downloaded PHP-4 from www.php.net. Everything worked, including PHP. Two years ago, www.php.net was supplying any version of PHP including older versions of PHP-4. I installed older versions because they worked. Now www.php.net only supplies the latest version. The php5 port applies heaps of patches to the php.net sources; I think you'll save yourself lots of grief by using the port. I suggest (saving configs and) uninstalling php, then install it from lang/php5. Assuming your ports tree is up to date - and it had probably better be regarding dependencies - then install php5 (5.2.something). Make sure to set the apache module on (it's turned off by default, for some bizarre reason, so pkg_add -r php5* is broken), by running make config first, though the options screen should come up on the initial install anyway. You may want to install lang/php5-extensions too ..

Re: Stress testing/burning in HDDs

What is the best way to do this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that the best way to do this is by using the vendors specific test utility. All known HDD vendors have made utilities to test and find out some basic stats for their products. A very good way to get all the known utilities and much more small usefull programs to test hardware is the Ultimate boot CD. A very nice work has been done and very usefull small programms like memtest, maxtor(sea tools), western digital (dlg diag) etc are included. You can run a surface scan for your disk (that will surely get it to an edge) and find out its temperature, afterwards, and how responds in general.

Upgrade to imap-uw 2006j Breaks Logins
As part of a portupgrade, one of my servers just picked up the latest version of imap-uw (2006j). Now users can no longer login as imapd claims they are providing incorrect passwords. I manually copied the version I was using (2004g) to /usr/local/libexec/imapd, and all is well, so it is definitely the new release. I did try manually reinstalling the imap-uw and cclient ports using the make option to enable both SSL and plain text passwords. Still no joy.
