mounted cd and tray locking
I recently noticed that FreeBSD doesn't prevent tray opening (via a button on CD/DVD drive) even if I mount a CD with ISO 9660 filesystem on it. This at least happens with ATAPI CD drive (acd driver/device). Maybe my memory is failing me but I seem to remember times when mounting a CD locked a tray. Shouldn't this be a more reasonable behavior ? Also, I think that it would be good if tray got locked on opening a cd/acd device (e.g. dd if=/dev/acd0).

Re: performance impact of large /etc/hosts files
Am Mittwoch, 12. Dezember 2007 13:38:59 schrieben Sie: I want to do precisely the opposite. It should affect only a single machine. It would even be better if it would affect only a single account on that machine. Affecting only a single machine/a single account has nothing to do with the fact that you manage and implement it centrally; the two concepts are orthogonal. Basically, this should come around to giving squid (from what I'd do in your case) different rule sets based on authentication to the proxy and/or originating IP in your internal network, which leads to different behaviour depending on the accessing person/program. Basically, why I personally rather like the squid (i.e., proxy-based) approach to ad-blocking is the fact that if you try to do this at a lower level than the HTTP-level, there's bound to be pages that display wrong/broken, simply because not being able to fetch images (because they supposedly come from localhost) means that most browsers are not going to display the space reserved to it and will mess up the page layout, even when specifying width= _and_ height= in an img-tag (when only specifying one of the attributes or none, the page layout will be broken anyway). Opera is my favourite candidate for messing up page layouts in this case. On another note, Opera has an (IMHO) huge timeout for failed (i.e., refused, not timed out) connections to the target host, and if many images refer to localhost through some DNS or hosts magic, this is going to majorly slow down page display/buildup on non-css based layouts, which sadly there still are enough out there (and for some of which the ad-slots are an integral part of the page layout, such as some german news sites). If you do the blocking at the topmost level (i.e., through squid or some other HTTP proxy), the proxy can generate an empty/transparent image with the appropriate proportions to fill the now void space, which the extension I referenced earlier will do automatically for you. This doesn't stop the connection to the ad host from happening (i.e., isn't a traffic saver, but who cares about that nowadays I'd say), but it does stop the end-user from seeing the ad (and/or its content). It even allows you more fine-grained control over which URLs to block, so that you don't have to filter by host specifically, but might also filter by directory (which is required at some sites, as the ads/unwanted content comes from the same host as the actual content you're interested in). It's a matter of choice how much duress you want the end-user to endure, basically, seeing that user-based discrimination on a proxy also requires authentication (unless you implement packet redirects on the end-user machines to different ports of the firewall depending on the user originating the outgoing packet, but this is just as bad to keep synchronized in the end). But, anyway, it would be my way to go to achieve what you're trying to do efficiently.

It's command-line based, but parts of it could be scripted, etc. One additional note on the original ripping phase: I find tccat to be more reliable than vobcopy, although with some DVD's it makes sense to try both.

will freebsd run on apple intel xserve
I'm a Linux guy who has inherited some apple xserve boxes. Surprisingly I've discovered that I really hate os x. For the intel xserve boxes, Linux isn't an option. The CPUs are amd64 architecture. The EFI capable Linux bootloader, has had beta support for amd64 since July. However, the Linux kernel just got support to boot via EFI and amd64 in a release candidate patch this month. It'll probably be quite a while before a distribution has an installer with what I need. At any rate, I've always wanted to try one of the BSDs. Will FreeBSD install on an apple intel xserve? If not does anyone know if another BSD or some other open source NIX will work?

My theory: after I mount some media on acd0, hald wants to taste it through cd0, on opening cd0 device 'prevent' command is sent, on closing cd0 'allow' is sent, so in the end drive's tray is in unlocked state.

This is the log from system messages: # tail /var/log/messages Dec 12 05:48:41 napstats kernel: pid 7240 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 05:51:31 napstats kernel: pid 7240 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 06:18:32 napstats kernel: pid 7303 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 06:21:23 napstats kernel: pid 7303 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 06:48:45 napstats kernel: pid 7363 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 06:51:35 napstats kernel: pid 7363 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 07:19:00 napstats kernel: pid 7426 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full Dec 12 07:21:50 napstats kernel: pid 7426 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 on /tmp: filesystem full But when I run a df -hi it says 0% of capacity is used on /tmp filesystem. napstats# df -hi Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity iusedifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a989M 76M834M 8%1709 1396011% / devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100% 00 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1e 48G229M 44G 1% 10600 65604060% /home /dev/ad4s1d989M 24K910M 0% 15 1412950% /tmp /dev/ad8s1d226G 85G122G41% 213086 303574081% /usr /dev/ad4s1f171G8.4G149G 5% 16560 232057100% /var from messagess I guess it has something to do with Sendmail.

Re: mounted cd and tray locking

This at least happens with ATAPI CD drive (acd driver/device). Maybe my memory is failing me but I seem to remember times when mounting a CD locked a tray. Shouldn't this be a more reasonable behavior ? Yes, could file a PR? I see the mentioned behavior for my recent 6-STABLE. Hmm. Looked at the code and it should be as expected. Played with various stuff and here's what I think: it seems that having atapicam and hald and maybe something in KDE that polls for CD change is to blame. My theory: after I mount some media on acd0, hald wants to taste it through cd0, on opening cd0 device 'prevent' command is sent, on closing cd0 'allow' is sent, so in the end drive's tray is in unlocked state. I don't see any easy resolution for this, but it definitely would be good to come up with one. Investigated more and it seems that hald is a main culprit here. Without it everything works reasonably well as long as I don't mix acd and cd accesses. That is, if I mount through acd, then trough cd, then unmount the cd mount, then tray gets unlocked. In a perfect world I would like to fix even this, but in real world this is OK. But if mount only through one device then tray is locked. So, hald is doing something wrong here. I am not sure if it is by design (to make the behavior mswindows-like) or if it is a bug or a side-effect of something. -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Another possible scenario is that the directory is badly fragmented. Unless something has changed since I last researched this (which is possible) FreeBSD doesn't manage directory fragmentation during use. If you're constantly adding and removing files, it's possible that the directory entry is such a mess that it takes ls a long time to process it. Yes, that's also possible. But sorting is really the culprit here: it *is* possible to create a directory with filenames in such a way that it triggers Quicksort's O(N^2) worst case instead of O(N log N). The following Python (2.5) program calls ls -lf and sorts its output with Python's own stable sort() routine (which is NOT qsort(3)). On a directory with 44,000 entries, it runs orders of magnitude faster than ls -l, even though it has to use the decorate-sort-undecorate idiom to sort the output according according the filename, and it is interpreted rather than compiled! I guess that replacing qsort(3) in /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/fts.c:fts_sort() with another sort algorithm which doesn't expose this anomaly would solve that problem. - cut here -- cut here #!/usr/bin/env python # sortls.py -- sort output of ls -lf with python's stable sort routine. import os def sort_ls_lf(path): Sort the output of ls -lf path os.chdir(path) lines = os.popen(ls -lf, r).readlines() dsu = [ (line.split()[-1], line) for line in lines ] dsu.sort() return ''.join(tupl[1] for tupl in dsu) if __name__ == '__main__': import sys if len(sys.argv) 2: print sys.stderr, Usage:, sys.argv[0], path sys.exit(1) path = sys.argv[1] try: print sort_ls_lf(path) except IOError: pass # silently absorb broken pipe and other errors - cut here -- cut here Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Sure you know what you are doing?
You are giving probably various linefeeds to your substitution (assuming
file2 has more than one line).
E.G. 'awk ... file2' produces as many lines as there are in file2. But
the substitution in sed has to be a string-like expression with no line
feeds.
There for the unterminated substitution error.

The ``cut -d...` may well be biting you with multiple lines or
extra line feeds. You might see the problem by prefixing your
command with ``echo'' to see what it's actually doing.
echo sed s#oldstring#`cut -d, -f3 file2`# file1
I usually do more complex substitutions with short python or perl
scripts as (a) they use a common regular expression syntax, and
(b) I find the code cleaner (at least the python :-)

Realtek ALC262 and Via ENVY24 sound cards for rel. 6.2
Good afternoon, FreeBSD enthusiasts. For FreeBSD release 6.2, does anyone know if there is any simpler way of using sound cards containing either a Realtek ALC262 chip or a Via ENVY24 chip than installing the Linux emulator, and then using the alsa a.p.i.?

Looks like whatever that message is is being retried by the sending MTA. Perhaps you could try deleting the message from the queue. (I assume it will sit in there until delivery is successful.) I think, if you shut the mail server down and then restart it later, you're going to continue to have this problem. You may have to figure out where the message is coming from and try to stop it at the other end. Possibly you could configure your server to reject messages larger than a certain size, then restart it and let it reject it rather than trying to receive it. I know you can do that with Postfix. Don't know about other MTAs. One thing I would do is stop the mail server, wait a minute or two, and then check /tmp. This would positively confirm that the problem is coming from the mail server *if* the problem goes away when the server is stopped. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is quite possible however that Promise provides their own FreeBSD driver for that card.

I am probably wrong though. Postfix is running here on a FreeBSD server as a boarder filter server. All bayes and per-user SpamAssassin settings are stored within a MySQL database on our SQL server. The web mail interface is SquirrelMail installed on a different FreeBSD server and has the sasql plugin interfaced to the MySQL server so the customers have control over what they want to set their spam score, whitelist, blacklist, whether they want bayes filtering, whether they want bayes autolearn and so forth. It has been pretty low maintenance. I am in the process of evaluating the possibility of using amavis-new. For myself, I've run a very similar environment with a lot of custom hacked software to integrate it all. The reason I haven't upgraded yet is because I've hacked so much of squirrelmail and other aspects of the setup since 2004 that there will be no way for me to carry things over (easily;) Depending on what way one looks at it, It may be good or bad that I don't really have time to follow what is happening with SPAM prevention in regards to Open Source anymore. I agree that SA/ClamAV/maildrop is an excellent setup, particularly running atop of Qmail with VPOPMail etc. I also have used Sendmail with milters and procmail to do the same thing...extensively. Realistically, it comes down to what the OP wants. I am but one operator in a 'small' ISP. I also manage it's support department. The truth is that once the OP stated that budget wasn't an issue, and he wanted essentially a turnkey solution, the easiest and most cost-effective method that I have learned is outsource it. If you can afford the bandwidth to filter in house, then you can also afford to have a 24*7*1hr support contract with a vendor so your support staff can do some of your work for you (or play games). If you can't afford bandwidth inbound, but still want your help-desk staff and yourself available, outsource to someone or some entity who specializes on only email security so they can filter before the mail touches your network. Otherwise, install/maintain yourself. Understand I am not trying to negate the use/feasibility of any software. I am running with the fact that cost for the OP is no issue. If that is truly the case, then why do it yourself when you can pay someone else who knows better to do it for you? The cost savings on headaches and lost time on downed equipment alone are more than worth it. ...I'm being too business-minded, and too obtuse. Back to figuring out why DBD::mysql won't compile on my legacy FreeBSD box I go...

The problem is that i have little knowledge on what this actually means. Googling reveals a whole universe of interesting ways but what should i pursue?

Neither performance, scalability, license nor cost is of much importance to me at this point. Any hints? Yes, one recommendation for sure. Give up on your first goal. It'll never happen, because fighting spam is an arms race, with new tactics needing to be adopted. As for the second goal, spamassassin along with one of several packages will do well for you - I use Maia Mailguard, but I've heard good things about MailZu with Amavisd-new as well.

Amen (or Ahem, or what BSDie would say). There will *ALWAYS* be maintenance. If you are not developing new regexs and/or solutions to fight the daily produced techniques that make up SPAM, then you are implementing them. If there is anyone who disagrees, then you likely have not dealt with SPAM in an organization larger than a few thousand dispersed and non-educated users. If you have such, and you have no maintenance, then I beg your pardon. Others will talk about other packages. It's worth taking a look at each of them to figure out what works for you. ...agreed.

Re: ntpd configuration file changes
* jekillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-12-12 20:42:47-0800]: Q: When making changes to ntp.conf it is necessary to restart the server? According to the ntpd docs, yes. The ntpd configuration docs say this: Ordinarily, ntpd reads the ntp.conf configuration file at startup time in order to determine the synchronization sources and operating modes. Q: How is that done? On FreeBSD, it is typically done via /etc/rc.d/ntpd restart. (I suspect ntpd reload or restart per rc script.. along the lines of apachectl restart or postfix reload??? Kill -HUP pid ??? ) I am looking at FreeBSD handbook and ntp documentation and have not found the answers. See the Using rc under FreeBSD section of the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-rcd.html It is based on Luke Mewburn's excellent NetBSD rc.d system.

The operating system using SMB as client is most probably Windows in case you set up a samba server. squid is an HTTP-proxy. Something completely different. And setting it up (at least with a default configuration, which you'll have to adapt) is simply installing the port and starting it. -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RELENG_7 and diablo-jdk
Am Mittwoch, 12. Dezember 2007 22:15:00 schrieb Tino Engel: for me, java apps always segfault under releng_7. They never did under releng_6. Have not found out yet why.. The JDK's hotspot compiler digs pretty deep into the system to compile Java code to machine code and run that dynamically. Because of the new operating system version (and changes it introduced), this simply doesn't work properly anymore without a recompile of the JDK for the current system (I haven't dug deeper into the actual cause of the brokenness yet, but the probable cause I could think of is some changes in the kernel system call interface between RELENG_6 and _7, which the JDK uses without going through libc as a wrapper shin which would hide the changes). The workaround is simply to install one of the Sun JDKs from sources directly, using the Diablo JDK only to get a working XSLT-processor (which comes bundled with any JDK and doesn't cause the Diablo JDK to segfault when run), which is required in the bootstrapping process of the compilation of a JDK. After building and installing one of the Sun JDKs, you're free to remove the Diablo JDK; the functionality of the two is equal (AFAICT). -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both are best used to reject mails before they even have to be delivered (in Postfix, this is a sender or recipient restriction, see the websites of the two projects for more details on how to set them up), so as a added bonus, people don't have to scroll through endless lists of mails marked as ***SPAM***. I've had a setup with amavisd-new, spamassassin and clamav on another mail server (basically the same thing Chuck described), but for our current usage, these two are efficient enough not to warrant the upgrade to more powerful hardware (which would be required to run SpamAssassin properly). -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
