VMWare Tools for FreeBSD
Hi, Is there any future development work being undertaken in order to port vmware-tools to FreeBSD. As our organisation using VMWare ESX Server and a lot of our servers are being virtualised to save hardware costs, this would let our FreeBSD servers follow as well. It does work find under Linux so I am 50% confident that it would port to FreeBSD if the work was done. Is it a licensing issue or another reason? Not being a developer myself was just wondering if this has been tackled and if it is being incorporated somewhere in the future?

RE: email pop3 question
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Banning Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: email pop3 question I am using dovecot email on my server - Users can connect via IMAP or POP3. I have a user who is using pop3 but not removing the email from the server - so the email stays on the server, -and- it is collecting on their computer - as the emails build up, will there be a problem with this? For IMAP it stays on the server, so I assume the server will not be presented with any problem - but will the user suffer any problem eventually? It depends on a lot of variables. For example, I have a 64-bit mailserver running uw-imapd. I have a 500MB mailbox with around 16,000 e-mail messages in it. When I connect with Outlook, it takes about a minute for the server and client to sync with each other. Beyond that, it's not even noticable. However, some of the webmail clients do have a lot of problems with this large of a mailbox. With POP3 you start having problems with more than a couple hundred messages in the inbox.

Network identity for sending mail.
The send-pr appears to assume that mail can and will be sent directly through sendmail or equivalent rather than inderctly through an ISP mail service. I can certainly successfully send mail directly via sendmail but as I don't have a static IP address or a registered name the (bogus?) name used is not able to be validated. So when I send-pr I get a returned mail message which includes the following: - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reason: 450 4.7.1 mail.whatnot.on.net: Helo command rejected: Host not found) It seems most destinations are not so pedantic and accept the (bogus) name. Now if I set up sendmail with some registered name in place of mail.whatnot.on.net then I believe the message will be accepted. So the question is would it be legitimate or fraudulent to set sendmail to work with the name of my ISP's mail server in the Helo command -- after all this is the rout that will be followed by any responses. Is there a better way around the difficulty.

RE: Superuser password lost
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 6:15 PM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Re: Superuser password lost Apparently I miscommunicated. My point was that the OP's message used the term superuser in an ambiguous way. (i.e. the way I mentioned). To me, it wasn't clear what it was asking for, and thus sending the OP to the PC-BSD community (where folks are probably familiar to the GUI widget he's dealing with) seemed the best thing to do. Historically on all UNIXes superuser = the root user The problem as I see it is that recently Apple (probably stole this idea from someone else) has introduced ambiguity into the term with the creation of what they call the owner account into MacOS X. With regular MacOS X there's some things that an ordinary user can do, but when an ordinary user tries to do some other things, MacOS X flashes up a dialog asking for the owners password. However, even if you su to root, there's still things that the system will not let you do which is insane because real UNIX will happily allow the root user to rm -r / if desired. Once more, proving that MacOS X is nothing more than UNIX-on-training-wheels, and reaffirming what Apple's historic view of it's customers really is (ie: dumb and dumber) Microsoft also introduced ambiguity into the concept, although to their credit, they scruplously avoided use of the term superuser or root. Under Microsoft operating systems, there's ordinary users and there's administrators and you can have multiple administrators, which isn't possible in UNIX - thus a MS administrator a UNIX superuser. I would suspect PC-BSD has copied the Apple nonsense and has created this mutated account that's not quite a real superuser account, and not quite a regular user account.

RE: Best practice: sendmail and SMTP auth
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Doug Poland Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Best practice: sendmail and SMTP auth Hello, Not sure if this is the most appropriate place for this question, but since all my servers are FreeBSD 6.x/7.x, I'll give it a go... I am considering setting up SMTP auth on a number of sendmail instances that I control. After much googling and reading, it is not clear to me that a server with SMTP auth configured/enabled can relay mail in both auth and non-auth modes. Some of the explanations posted have been Rube Goldberg in the extreme, greatly complicating what should have been a very simple response. A standard FreeBSD server determines relaying through use of the access.db file, as you probably already are aware. If you add in SMTP-auth then the ONLY change is that any client that authenticates in, is exempted from checking the access.db file - by default, they are allowed to relay. It is not necessary to turn on an encrypted channel for SMTP-auth. In fact, the most popular mail clients under Windows - Outlook, only support NTLM encryption on authentication which REQUIRES that the password be in cleartext on the mailserver. OR, you can use SSL encryption for Outlook - however it will require a (costly) commerically-rooted certificate on the server to do SSL or your mail clients won't encrypt without a lot of nasty mucking around on the user's side to install a self-signed root cert in their clients. As for 587, by default sendmail will allow auth on either port 25 or 587 and will allow non-encrypted auth on port 587. The fact of the matter is that the most secure way of running a production setup is to use a completely separate mailserver for AUTH-smtp and to use DIFFERENT userID's/passwords on that server than on the primary mailserver. That way spammers that discover the users e-mail address (which for most ISP's is the same as the userID account) cannot launch dictionary attacks against the SMTP-auth server. And, attackers that sniff a cleartext password on the SMTP-auth channel cannot use that userID to spam the mailserver.

RE: ndis0 no link on 6.3-RELEASE
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Glen Barber Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 6:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ndis0 no link on 6.3-RELEASE Hello everyone. First off, sorry for the double post, but I'm not 100% certain at where this post belongs. I've found via Google many problems with ndis0 and failure to find a link in 6.3-RELEASE, without resolution. So here's my setup. I'm using a Broadcom 4318 chipset, with drivers created from ndisgen. If you need more specific information on the drivers, I'll be more than happy to provide information, however I believe it to be irrelevant at this moment, as I have used more than one driver version, with the same results. In 6.3-RC1 and below (tested in 6.2-RELEASE, and all -STABLE releases in between), my ndis0 adapter works as exptected, using WPA and DHCP. I can't pinpoint exaclty what changed (I've check in /usr/src/UPDATING, as it seemed to be most relevant), with no avail to finding anything regarding either wpa or dhclient. Since an upgrade to 6.3-RELEASE (both, via csup and a fresh install off of cd), I generate my ndis module, create an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, leaving /etc/dhclient as default, and am prompted with: ndis0: no link.. giving up Upon 'kldunload bcmwl5.ko; kldload bcmwl5.ko', my ndis0 card looses all WPA capabilities. What seems to me to be the interesting part is this: If I 'csup' to 6.3-RELEASE from -RC1, and build a kernel, the problem does not occur -- as long as I do not 'buildworld'. However, once I 'buildworld; installworld', I am faced with the same problems as if I had installed 6.3-RELEASE from cd. I would really like to figure out what is causing this (both for myself, and the other affected ndis0 victims), but I'm not sure where to look -- dhclient, wpa_supplicant or ndis itself. Any other information I could provide, please let me know. Hi Glen, I just setup my laptop with a wireless card a couple weeks ago and FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. (it's an older Toshiba) I went through a total of 5 different wireless cards before I found one that I was able to get working ndis drivers from ndisgen. Fortunately there's a used computer place near here (freegeek.org) that had a box of pcmcia wireless cards of all different makes and models, which kindly allowed me to plunk down my laptop (which dual-boots between Windows 98 and FreeBSD) and they have wireless. So I would pick a card out of their bin, boot into Windows, download the Windows driver, make sure the card worked under Windows, then boot into FreeBSD and mount the Windows partition, copy over the Windows driver and inf file to the FreeBSD side, run ndisgen and then try loading the driver. With some cards, the driver wouldn't even activate the card. With other cards, the driver would allow me to list the wireless nodes then panic the system when I tried associating. The card that did work was a Realtek-based card. And, it did not work with the most current Windows drivers from the Realtek website, it worked with the Windows drivers that were from a couple years ago. (I found this out quite by accident) Fortunately, they DID also have a number of the Wavelan cards - these are supported natively with the wi0 driver - that worked out of the box. Those cards are only 802.11b though so I kept at it with ndisgen and the newer cards. The interesting thing is that the original wireless card I had in the Toshiba - a Texas Instruments-based chipset model - never really quite worked properly in the Toshiba under Windows. I put it into a different laptop I owned - a Thinkpad, and it worked great in that. Unfortunately, in your case, nothing has changed with ndisgen since 2006 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt/ ) so it's not that, it's something else in the system that changed. Start with the basics. Copy your bcmwl5.ko into /boot/modules then in loader.conf put bcmw15_load=YES and reboot the system, check dmesg, and see if it's even loading Next put in /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_ndis0=inet 192.168.1.1 ssid myssid and see if it even comes up at all and you can ping out (obviously you will have to temporairly turn off wpa on your wireless node, set the correct ssid, and set the correct IP address to hard-code an IP address) If that doesen't work, regen the bcmw15.ko file using the old method: # cp foo.sys foo.inf /sys/modules/if_ndis # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load You need to isolate the problem to see if the driver is simply just not working at all under 6.3, or if it is working, but it's a scripting or turnup out of sequence error. And you need to see if wpa has anything to do with it. Ted

Cant get system to 0% idle
Hi, I have 2 systems, Dual Xenon's, both bought at the same time (1 serial number away from each other). At one time both ran 5.3, and both could get 0% idle ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 4 processes). I've upgraded one to 5.5, and now find ever since then I can't get the system below about 19% idle. (I've even used benchmarks/ubench).

Re: IPFW with user-ppp's NAT

In the last episode (Mar 16), Razmig K said:
With IPFW enabled in the kernel, I'd like to use the NAT functionality of
user-ppp instead of natd. Do I need the IPDIVERT option in the kernel and
the special arrangement of divert and skipto rules in the ruleset? Or, a
non-NATed ruleset (as demonstrated in handbook section 28.6.5.6) would
suffice?
If divert rules are necessary, what argument do I need to pass to action
divert in place of natd?
If you mean the nat enable yes option in ppp.conf, that is done
completely within the user-ppp daemon (using the same libalias libarary
that natd uses). Since user-ppp creates its own tun# device, it can
call the NAT functions as it processes packets to/from that device
without needing IPFW divert rules.
True, though if you're running FreeBSD 7 you can instead use ipfw(8)'s
new in-kernel NAT, which uses the same libalias and semantics.
Frankly I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been more widely heralded,
as userland natd is often given as a reason to prefer other firewalls,
even in the handbook. ('legacy', indeed :)
And while being frank .. the present ipfw section in the handbook needs
rewriting in large part. It contains undue deprecation, misconceptions,
outdated information and some straight up errors, both of principle and
usage. Using rc.firewall as a base example (modulo needing to permit
appropriate icmp traffic) and a fair study of ipfw(8) should yield a
better firewall, with or without NAT - certainly a more comprehensible
and flexible one - than the examples in that section.

It does work find under Linux so I am 50% confident that it would port to FreeBSD if the work was done. Is it a licensing issue or another reason? Not No, it's not a licensing issue, since vmware-tools are released as open source now. I guess it's simply lack of interest and that there aren't many ESX users who are using FreeBSD as a platform.

BIOS is able to detect the the hard drives. I Previously had fbsd 6.2 installed on them and the problem started when I upgraded the kernel to 6.3 although I don't see my upgrades relevance as I have tried to reinstall from a clean disk since then. I have the exact same problem on an Asus P5N-E sli board. I have two ide harddrives, two ide optical drives and one sata harddisk connected. After trying to boot FreeBSD 7.0, which gives me No disks found, i cannot boot in freebsd 6.2 or linux anymore. I have to reboot with the ide harddisks disconnected. And then erboot again (with drives reconnected) before my machine can boot again. (Then both freebsd 6.2 and linxu works again) This is not a problem in the installer but in the kernel as i get the same result when upgrading (both to 7.0 and 8.0-current) I thing thes is a very severe problem/bug/regression.. I dont dare to try FreeBSD on a laptop where i cannot disconnect the drives as easily. dmesg from 6.2 attached.

Re: ndis0 no link on 6.3-RELEASE
Ted Mittelstaedt said: I just setup my laptop with a wireless card a couple weeks ago and FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. (it's an older Toshiba) I went through a total of 5 different wireless cards before I found one that I was able to get working ndis drivers from ndisgen. Fortunately there's a used computer place near here (freegeek.org) that had a box of pcmcia wireless cards of all different makes and models, which kindly allowed me to plunk down my laptop (which dual-boots between Windows 98 and FreeBSD) and they have wireless. So I would pick a card out of their bin, boot into Windows, download the Windows driver, make sure the card worked under Windows, then boot into FreeBSD and mount the Windows partition, copy over the Windows driver and inf file to the FreeBSD side, run ndisgen and then try loading the driver. With some cards, the driver wouldn't even activate the card. With other cards, the driver would allow me to list the wireless nodes then panic the system when I tried associating. The card that did work was a Realtek-based card. And, it did not work with the most current Windows drivers from the Realtek website, it worked with the Windows drivers that were from a couple years ago. (I found this out quite by accident) Fortunately, they DID also have a number of the Wavelan cards - these are supported natively with the wi0 driver - that worked out of the box. Those cards are only 802.11b though so I kept at it with ndisgen and the newer cards. The interesting thing is that the original wireless card I had in the Toshiba - a Texas Instruments-based chipset model - never really quite worked properly in the Toshiba under Windows. I put it into a different laptop I owned - a Thinkpad, and it worked great in that. Unfortunately, in your case, nothing has changed with ndisgen since 2006 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt/ ) so it's not that, it's something else in the system that changed. Start with the basics. Copy your bcmwl5.ko into /boot/modules then in loader.conf put bcmw15_load=YES and reboot the system, check dmesg, and see if it's even loading Next put in /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_ndis0=inet 192.168.1.1 ssid myssid and see if it even comes up at all and you can ping out (obviously you will have to temporairly turn off wpa on your wireless node, set the correct ssid, and set the correct IP address to hard-code an IP address) If that doesen't work, regen the bcmw15.ko file using the old method: # cp foo.sys foo.inf /sys/modules/if_ndis # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load You need to isolate the problem to see if the driver is simply just not working at all under 6.3, or if it is working, but it's a scripting or turnup out of sequence error. And you need to see if wpa has anything to do with it. Hi Ted. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, until I either get time to resize my hard disk and add a separate freebsd installation, or I figure out how to undo a buildworld, looks like I'm stuck. It's my school laptop, so I kind of need to get work done. ;) (I am able to run a 6.3-RELEASE kernel, but the 'world' is 6.3-RC1.) Regarding older drivers: Yes, I had this problem with my current chipset in 6.2-RELEASE. This is why I was so surprised I had problems with 6.3-RELEASE. Either way, I appreciate your response.

Re: IPFW with user-ppp's NAT
what's wrong in userland natd? Performance. With userland natd, every packet that passes through natd must pass from kernel to userland (causing one context switch) and back again (causing another context switch). This will be slower and use more CPU than doing it all inside the kernel, without any context switches. true, anyway for my two 2Mbps symmetric connection (all for nat), and three 4/0.5Mbit connections (part for nat, mostly for squid) all natd processes takes at most 3 percent of single core (core2duo). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's probably some setting you have or some stray library that causes this and until you get it resolved, you can't trust any threaded application you build from ports.

In that case I do not see why you would have a problem running multiple FreeBSD virtual servers on the ESX server. That's not what OP is asking. He wants to run FreeBSD as VM in ESX. There's currently no support from VMWare for FreeBSD, but it runs anyway. I figured that was what he was asking, but we should probably hear from him to make sure that this is really what he was asking. Unfortunately, the original post was either from someone who didn't use English as their native language, or they are paying for their Internet connection by-the-byte and were trying to make the question as short as possible, as a result, the entire meaning of the post was lost. Ted OK, maybe I was not clear enough so I will try again. I want to run FreeBSD as a VM Guest on a VMWare ESX Server. Currently there is no problem with it and it works fine.

As it stands, 7 is the stable branch, 8 is the current branch and 6 is legacy stable, 5 is pray-it-still-works ancient 'stable' and 4 is passed end-of life. So far so good. Except, there's also the ability to keep a release up to date with only security fixes. That's what you want to use in production and the cvs tag contains two version numbers: RELENG_7_0.

Ok you do that maybe once or twice but you quickly understand that you don't really need the CD2 and CD3. Also some people like to collect. They have shelves with all the releases from from Unix V3, but I am sure this is not the majority. Save the bandwith! -fred- -- Fred C!

CURRENT vs. STABLE vs. RELEASE, tags and branches [was: Re: That age old question again]
On 2008-03-17 09:18, Robert Chalmers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not quite but close. On the front page of FreeBSD.org, is the download links for LATEST RELEASES a.. Production Release 7.0 Which I'm assuming is the latest, and commercially useable version. Now I still find the situation of CURRENT, STABLE as they relate to RELEASE slightly confusing, and no amount of description seems to clear it up. Ok, I understand CURRENT is developmental, and becomes the next major version as stated below. So the next major version is the one on the website? Release 7.0 - or, 7.0-RELEASE ...yes/no? Then 7.0-STABLE continues the work to be the bugfix/security blah blah tree. The question I have is: For the Production Release shown above - 7.0-RELEASE, what is the cvsup tag to keep this version updated ?? Hi Robert, After the 7.0-RELEASE was announced the following CVS tags became available for general use: RELENG_7_0_0_RELEASE This is a 'snapshot' of the source tree at the time of the release. No bug fixes are possible in a 'snapshot' tag. It is just a reference point, which can be used to reconstruct a copy of the source tree used to build 7.0-RELEASE. RELENG_7_0 This is a 'branch' that includes all the source files of the release snapshot and *security* fixes only. Being a 'branch' this is not a static snapshot. It may 'move' in time, pointing to newer updates for some files. Since it is a security-only branch, however, updates are expected to be minimal and are announced in freebsd-security as they become available. RELENG_7 This is a branch too. It includes all development of the 7-STABLE series. Created at the same point as the release tag called RELENG_7_0_0_RELEASE, this is the basis for all the subsequent releases 'cut from the 7.X series'. The changes which are allowed to go into this branch are a lot more than `RELENG_7_0', its associated security branch. New userland features, documentation updates, even new utilities or entirely new kernel features are all allowed, as long as compatibility with previous 7.X releases is not compromised. If you haven't read them already, the following two links are probably going to be useful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/version-guide/ http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#supported-branches ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nothing gets written in /var/log/messages when the crashes happen, and I'm a bit clueless about how to investigate the issue further, so ideas would be much appreciated. Lo, back in the days of fbsd4.1.1 (or thereabouts) a similar problem had I: random crashes under network load with no core files, no dumps, no errors. Try replacing your NIC. Thanks for your answer. The NIC in question is a Realtek 8139 and indeed, Google told me that a few people have been experiencing similar issues with it. However, that was with old (4.x/5.x) FreeBSD releases, so I'm wondering: is this particular NIC model still causing problems or is it the NIC breaking in some way? The reason I ask is that the machine is a dedicated server over which I have no hardware control, so asking the provider to replace the NIC with another model could be a bit bothersome. I couldn't possibly say in your case, but in mine it was a 3com xl nic that had simply gone crackers. Any time I get weird, dumpless reboots I suspect hard- ware.

Re: IPFW with user-ppp's NAT

With userland natd, every packet that passes through natd must pass from kernel to userland (causing one context switch) and back again (causing another context switch). This will be slower and use more CPU than doing it all inside the kernel, without any context switches. true, anyway for my two 2Mbps symmetric connection (all for nat), and three 4/0.5Mbit connections (part for nat, mostly for squid) all natd processes takes at most 3 percent of single core (core2duo). Sure. And with my little 512/128k ADSL link, soon 1500/256, I doubt you could even measure the difference. I haven't seen any comparative data on high-performance boxes but as Erik points out, it may be significant. Just to make it clear, my point was that one reason for deprecating ipfw is out the door, and that its development is ongoing. I see rc.firewall has had a recent facelift too, including a stateful 'workstation' type.

Re: EVOLUTION SLOW START , a workaround
I'm trying to use your patch but it fails to apply patch.
It results in:
ecerejo# patch -uspl /usr/home/webdude/patch.b
File to patch: patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c
4 out of 4 hunks failed--saving rejects to patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c.rej
OK, probably, it is because you did not put the module (the patch in the
correct place)
the patch I publish on the email is to replace the glib patch that is
located in:
/usr/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c
the idea is:
you copy the code from the email, and replace the file in the
/usr/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c
and then just build glib20 again. either by the comand
(cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20;make clean deinstall install) or
portupgrade -fp devel/glib20
should work
There is no need to rebuild evolution.
the patch works with glib versions 2
tested on glib2.12 till 2.16 (the last one).

Has anyone got the remote X-Win32 running?
I've read the spots off everything I can find about getting X going, and I have it all up and running sort of. But only sort of. I have X-Win32 trialling on a laptop, and want to be able to connect to the Xserver - but I just can't seem to do it. To give you a run down. I have X working. I have KDE working. I have the /etc/ttys entry set to: ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure .. (I note that kdm is much prettier, and appears to work Just as well) I have the entry in xdm-config commented out. ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 /root/.xinitrc contains exec startkde Ok. Using 'xdm' , booting brings up an oversize font LOGIN -PASSWORD display. Very ugly. (kdm looks nicer, but I'm following the manual) Neither xdm or kdm, let me log in as root. I have to go Ctl+alt+F1 to get to the good old terminal window. Now, the main problem is .. Which is a real pain, as I do need to connect to this thing remotely. I can't connect from the remote laptop's X-Win32 program xterm emulator program. Has anyone managed to get any remote, xterm emulators going? And how so? Thanks if you can help - I'm almost there.

The program is not compiled with any optimization. It is in a
shared
library though.
It is hard to tell without the code you used. I would put some
printf's in the code and see what and when that variable gets
set to
in actual running code.
-Derek
I understand it is waiting at a breakpoint in gdb. What I meant was
put printf's in your code and run the program and look at the
output. You can use fprintf's to stderr if your prefer and just
look at the stderr output.
It is hard to diagnose what could be a compiler error, or a coding
error. Remember in C you can do many things you really shouldn't.
It is also advisable to run lint over your source code too.
All that lint shows is it doesn't like comments using // and lots of
errors in /usr/include files.
This sounds more like a c++ program. c++ does a lot of variable
initiation in code you usually won't see.
If this is a c++ program, put conditional printf's or cout's in to
check the code at actual runtime rather than in the debugger.
You may want to use asserts.
Nope. Very simple c code. I believe as was pointed out earlier that
this is a gdb issue. Once gdb found the right value, both it and all
the printfs show the correct value. I changed nothing. I am a bit
concerned since this is now in a production system that it may
eventually start fail again which would have some serious consequences.
