I am not sure what is in the X-user but: 1) consider that a web server being a server, you may need no X at all. 2) if you don't install the source of X now, next time there will be the slightest update needed on X, you will probably have to download all the sources instead of downloading only the one that changed. I find it a good idea to always have the source, because sooner or later (and rather sooner than later) I will have to reconstruct everything and I will then need the sources.

It showed 1 out of 3 drive as faulted :/ IIRC, I didnt do: # zpool export tank before migration. It might be source of the problem, but I'm not sure. So lesson learned: always export your ZFS volumes before doing anything like that :) What was wrong when 3 drives were connected? Wasnt supposed to raidz1 survive lack of 1 drive?

IIRC, the on-disk metadata hasn't changed between vinum and gvinum. Roland gvinum(8) worked perfectly, thank you! After adding geom_vinum_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf and rebooting, I tried to see if I could find my old partitions: # gvinum list 1 drive: D samsung6_1State: up /dev/ad1s1 A: 575/6102 MB (9%) 1 volume: V home2 State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 5527 MB 2 plexes: P home2.p0C State: down Subdisks: 1 Size: 5527 MB P home2.p1C State: down Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 2 subdisks: S home2.p0.s0 State: staleD: samsung6_1 Size: 5527 MB S home2.p1.s0 State: staleD: samsung6_2 Size: 5527 MB Then I tried: # gvinum start home2 1 drive: D samsung6_1State: up /dev/ad1s1 A: 575/6102 MB (9%) 1 volume: V home2 State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 5527 MB 2 plexes: P home2.p0C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 5527 MB P home2.p1C State: down Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 2 subdisks: S home2.p0.s0 State: up D: samsung6_1 Size: 5527 MB S home2.p1.s0 State: staleD: samsung6_2 Size: 5527 MB Everything came up, except the plex home2.p1 - no surprise, since that drive is dead and isn't even hooked up to this machine.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Scripting sysinstall
I'm having problems with sysinstall used from a script. (Before you ask, yes I've read the man page and yes I know sysinstall is greatly in need of death but I've not yet found a plausible alternative. I'm all ears if you've got one to suggest.) I'm using a custom built live CD based on FreeSBIE and the script attached below. When I invoke this sysinstall certainly seems busy -- it claims to be unpacking the distribution set I specified -- but it doesn't actually accomplish anything. No boot loader is installed and no changes are made to the partition table. I'm sure I've missed something obvious but I haven't been able to work it out through searching the documentation on http://freebsd.org/, the archive for this list or Google in general.

Re: Scripting sysinstall
On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Jeff Gold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I invoke this sysinstall certainly seems busy -- it claims to be unpacking the distribution set I specified -- but it doesn't actually accomplish anything. No boot loader is installed and no changes are made to the partition table. I'm still trying to figure this out, but I've got a few more details that might be revealing for someone who understands FreeBSD and sysinstall better than I do. First, I'm not sure where the distributions are being placed. They don't appear to end up in the live CD file system, as those have older time stamps and /usr/ports doesn't exist before or after. There are no error messages, which either means it worked in some strange way or the errors are ignored. There's nothing informative in /var/log/messages. What gives? Second, I've added a packageAdd statement just to see what would happen. It fails with errors on md1 which I believe is mounted on /var. I think this means the package is being installed on the current file system rather than the new system root. I haven't yet found any command in the sysinstall man page to redirect that. Is there one? Finally, after the install (just like before) I see /dev/ad0, but nothing resembling /dev/ad0s1a and friends. And of course when I attempt to boot afterward there is no boot loader, just a BIOS error message. Shouldn't the appropriate device nodes get added, either by sysinstall or some deeper mechanism? I'm still puzzled. Has anyone else attempted this sort of thing or do custom FreeBSD installations primarily use the network instead?

sysinstall: can't change certain options
Hi all, I'm trying to set up a scripted sysinstall, and one of my hopes is that I could change the directory where the distributions will be extracted. To that end, I do the following: $ sysinstall loadConfig install.cfg where install.cfg contains only the following: optionsEditor I move over the the Install Root line and hit enter, and nothing happens. sysinstall doesn't hang, it just doesn't let me change the directory. If I start sysinstall without loadConfig, it works just fine. So is there a good way to do what I'm trying to do? If not, is there a better way to extract the dists and partition my disk in a more automated fashion?

openLDAP - Mozilla clients asking for password
OK, I'm at wit's end. Every doc I read is telling me that the default openLDAP installation provides the rootdn as write access, and the rest are read only, with no access control changes. However, when I installed openLDAP, mozilla seamonkey address book keeps prompting for a password. I'm not sure what password it might be asking for, since the base dn and search dn don't have any cn's (am I using the write letters? lol) to work from. I found out how to search locally (as in 127.0.0.1 or sockets) on the server, returning the strings and data I want. But I can't figure out how to do it via client. As I'm writing this, it may be an issue of the source IP address (when using a client, it's not on 127.0.0.1 or the server IP it's bound to). Would the remote IP cause a password prompt? Google is only returning results of default configuration isn't to prompt for password, read only access type of hits. But the search terms are the same as this sentence, with no value in those terms. So now I'm lost. Please help, --Tim If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. I can is a way of life.

This didn't solve the problem, however. The most concise definition of the problem I can state is that when using an external config file to load the options editor, some of the options aren't editable as they are when using sysinstall without loadConfig.
