I could and will do that by the end of the year in my free days around the change of the year; it needs a gps daemon which is in the ports, and you need some GPS device RS232 or USB based and the web pages of gpsd have a long list of compatibel devices, for sure not all tested with FreeBSD; will see if I could check some out in the near future; I was thinking about running tangoGPS on FreeBSD and connecting it to the gpsd already running on the Freerunner. Yes, this works very nice; but for folks without a FR there should be choices as well, i.e. a small list of GPS gadgets which work with FreeBSD USB drivers; Concerning gpsd running on the FR, I encounter that tangoGPS tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 and not to the configured host 192.168.0.202; you have to press the GPSD button in tangoGPS config page to make it connect to the remote host; will check the sources for this bug/feature... matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ A computer is like an air conditioner, it stops working when you open Windows Una computadora es como aire acondicionado, deja de funcionar si abres Windows ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to keep something in mind however: blocking by user agent is
basically worthless these days. Most leeching tools now let you
spoof the user agent to show up as Internet Explorer, essentially
defeating the checks.
While that's true, I've found most of the more troublesome robots are
too proud of their 'brand' to spoof user agent, and those that do are a)
often consistent enough in their Remote_Addr to exclude by subnet and/or
b) often make obvious errors in spoofed User_Agent strings .. especially
those pretending to be some variant of MSIE :)
If you're that concerned about bandwidth (which is why a lot of people
do the above), consider rate-limiting. It's really, quite honestly, the
only method that is fail-safe.
Thanks Jeremy. Certainly time to take the time to have another look at
mod_rewrite, especially regarding redirection, alternative pages etc,
but I still tend to glaze over about halfway through all that section.
And unless I've completely missed it, your examples don't address my
question, being how to AND two or more conditions in a particular test?
If I really can't do this with mod_setenvif I'll have to take that time.

I haven't found this to be true at all, and I've been doing web hosting
since 1993. In the past 2-3 years, the amount of leeching tools which
spoof their User-Agent has increased dramatically.
But step back for a moment and look at it from a usability perspective,
because this is what really happens.
A user tries to leech a site you host, using FruitBatLeecher, which your
Apache server blocks based on User-Agent. The user has no idea why the
leech program doesn't work. Does the user simply give up his quest?
Absolutely not -- the user then goes and finds BobsBandwidthZilla which
pretends to be Internet Explorer, Firefox, or lynx, and downloads the
site.
Now, if you're trying to block robots/scrapers which aren't honouring
robots.txt, oh yes, that almost always works, because those rarely spoof
their User-Agent (I think to date I've only seen one site which did
that, and it was some Russian search engine).
If you feel I'm just doing burn-outs arguing, a la BSD style, let me
give you some insight to how often I deal with this problem: daily.
We host a very specific/niche site that contains over 20 years of
technical information on the Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System.
The site has hundreds of megabytes of information, and a very active
forum. Some jackass comes along and decides Wow, this has all the info
I want! and fires off a leeching program against the entire
domain/vhost. Let's say the program he's using is blocked by our
User-Agent blocks; there is a 6-7 minute delay as the user goes off to
find another program to leech with, installs it, and attempts it again.
Pow, it works, and we find nice huge spikes in our logs for the vhost
indicating someone got around it. I later dig through our access_log and
find that he tried to use FruitBatLeecher, which got blocked, but then
6-7 minutes later came back with a leeching client that spoofs itself
as IE.
And it gets worse.
Many of these leeching programs get stuck in infinite loops when it
comes to forum software, so they sit there pounding on the webserver
indefinitely. It requires administrator intervention to stop it; in my
case, I don't even bother with Apache ACLs, because ~70% of the time
the client ignores 403s and keeps bashing away (yes really!) -- I go
straight for a pf-based block in a table called web-leechers. These
guys will hit that block for *days* -- that should give you some idea
how long they'll let that program run.
But it gets worse -- again.
Recently, I found two examples of very dedicated leechers. One was an
individual out of China (or
Asynchronous pipe I/O
Imagine this shell pipeline: sh prog1 | sh prog2 As given above, prog1 blocks if prog2 hasn't yet read previously written data (actually, newline separated commands) or is busy. What I want is for prog1 to never block: sh prog1 | buffer | sh prog2 I first thought that the aptly named misc/buffer port would do exactly what I wanted: buffering prog1 output for prog2 to read it at its earliest convenience. That way prog1 would never block (unless it hit buffer's memory limits). Alas, misc/buffer was originally designed for tape backups, and despite its author's stating its applicability to other uses: This is a program designed initially to speed up writing tapes on remote tape drives, but may be used as a general pipe buffering utility. buffer never starts writing unless the limit given by -s is crossed, which is 10 kbytes by default and cannot be less than 496 bytes, which is too much for me. Ideally I want it to start writing immediately, whenever new data hits its pools. Unfortunately, the -p 0 option doesn't work either: -s size Size in bytes of each block. The default blocksize is 10k to match the normal output of the tar(1) program. -p percentage Only start a write when the given percentage of the internal queue is full. A percentage around 75 often proves best. Defaults to zero. Wouldn't such an intermediary tool be a great way to boost performance for certain types of solutions?

Or a bootable memory card with 7.x kernel.

If you have additions to this please post a followup to this thread, keeping the Cc: (I'm not on -questions...) 1. You need RELENG_7 from at least Mon Oct 20 11:15:57 2008 UTC (the relevant MFC commits are: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=183819 http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=184075 - a recent HEAD should also work of course.) There are linprocfs patches for RELENG_6 too (merging the former commit), but the latter commit can't be merged to 6 (and 7.0) since they lack the cpuset bits, so flash9 probably won't work on SMP there. (Although if you have SMP you probably should be running 7 anyway. :) Oh and if you do have SMP you also need to use the ULE scheduler, the cpuset syscalls are not supported with 4BSD. linprocfs patches for 6: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.3.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.4.patch 2. Your portstree needs to be from at least Sun Oct 19 17:37:28 2008 UTC (the last www/linux-flashplugin9 commit is: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2008-October/158404.html ) 3. Make sure linprocfs is mounted to /compat/linux/proc . 4. Make sure www/nspluginwrapper, www/linux-flashplugin9 and dependencies are installed and up to date(!). (the default emulators/linux_base-fc4 should work, if you want to use a later one don't forget to set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT to whichever version you use in make.conf. Note however that on 6, only the default compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 really works.) 5. If the plugin doesnt show up in firefox' about:plugins, run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and restart firefox. 6. And remember there's a security advisory for the current version of flash9, http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/78f456fd-9c87-11dd-a55e-00163e16.html (if you use portaudit you need to `make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES ...' to be able to install the port), and fc4 seems to be eol'd too, so you probably want to install something like the noscript firefox extension, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 and only allow plugins (and scripts, tho thats a different problem) on sites you trust... And finally, if you still get crashes after following the above even on pages that are reported to work now (like youtube) you probably want to run `ktrace -di firefox...' and look at the output using linux_kdump (thats the devel/linux_kdump port, you want to use a package), paying specific attention to the lines above `PSIG SIGSEGV' (or whichever signal you got), maybe there are still shlibs missing that the plugin needs (NAMI ...something.so...), and if this is the case tell us about it so the appropriate dependencies can be added to the relevant ports. If you can't figure it out I guess it doesn't hurt to post the last few 100 lines of the dump up to the relevant PSIG on -emulation... You may also want to check linked shlibs like this: /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin (if you see `not found' in there you know something is wrong) - although that doesn't show libs that may be dlopen()d at runtime.

The only additional thing I had to do was copy /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for Firefox to recognize the plugin.

Does someone has an idea to allow me to use my filesystem in read write mode ? This seems to be a problem with the mount command. Why do you feel the kernel may be at fault? If the kernel can get to mount, then it has obviously already mounted / (though possibly in read-only mode, which is something you should let us know...) There is also not necessarily a corrolation between a man page and the actual binary. Check the binary's modification time and such for better detail here. Beyond that, try running the mount command manually from the command line after booting from a CD or in single-user mode, if single-user mode works. - mdh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mod_mono] how to install from freebsd?
Hi guys, I'm sorry if this isn't the best place to ask the question, but it's the most active freebsd mailing list, so I hope to try my luck here. I'm using 7.0, and I've installed mono and apache22 from the packages (pkg_add -r xxx). Now I need to find mod_mono to complete the pieces. Trouble is, I don't see it available from the ports tree. Can any kind soul assist? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to upgrade to KDE4
Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-p11 (yes, I've got to update). A couple days ago I updated my ports tree and went to update kde 3.5.6. At first I did a portupgrade on the KDE meta-port but, ironically, the only thing that updated was the meta-port (I did a portupgrade -r too). I should also say that I first looked in /usr/ports/UPDATING and there weren't any particular instructions (that I could find) for updating KDE. I opened the file in vim and searched for kde and KDE. On both searches, nothing regarding the specific update of 3.5.x to 4.x was mentioned. I'm having some problems updating the kdebase package now (since the meta-port didn't update the whole thing, I'm updating individually to 3.5.10). It's having some compile time issues, something about an identifier not existing in a particular namespace or some-such error, I've got to look into it further. However, since I'm going through this loathsome process anyway, would it be advisable to just do a deinstall of the kde system and cd to /usr/ports/x11/kde (I think that's where it is) and install 4.x (if that's even how to do it)? I would really prefer to run 4.x.

Re: Unable to mount / in read - write mode
My laptop has a bootable NIC but I would like to avoid a network installation. I think that I forget to make the installkernel step. I can say that I'm using kernel 6.0 thanks to the output at the start of boot process. I have another old box with a FreeBSD 6.0 kernel so I'll try tonight to get the mount command from it to an usb key and try to use it with my laptop. I'll also try to provide dmesg if I can use this usb key in write mode. 2008/11/5 Mel [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wednesday 05 November 2008 14:50:05 Popof Popof wrote: I can't install FreeBSD 7 from scratch because this is a laptop and the CD drive is dead.

uhub0: device problem

Cups is installed and setup correctly following the Handbook method but i'm finding that the uhub is getting disabled, stalling and timing out. I have reproduced the same results on my other system. Both systems are running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE GENERIC kernel. The error message from dmesg is: uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 I do not have any issues with usb mouse or keyboards.

I opened the power supply, found a blown fuse, ran to the electronics store, bought a new fuse (+ one in reserve), inserted the fuse, tried the power supply, with connections off and a firework, prematurely - your presidential elections aren't finished yet - , developed in front of my face.

On Wed, 5 Nov 2008 22:38:03 +0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What irc, pop mail, and usenet clients from gmone or kde or x would you recommend to use on xfce? My setup is a bit `unusual' for those who like holistic approaches to the desktop, like GNOME and KDE, but I use GNU Emacs for email, news and IRC (sometimes for web browsing too). Gnus, running inside a separate Emacs instance, is a very good email news reader. It supports MIME, PGP encryption, email filtering and archival; it can connect through POP or IMAP; it supports authentication methods like POP+SSL; it can read email from Unix mailboxes, MH-folders, or Maildirs; it can fetch cache email from multiple sources; it can score Usenet messages with customizable rules, so you only have to read what you prefer instead of everything, and so on... The feature list is just too huge to include here. The ERC module (included in the latest Emacs 22.X releases) is a quite flexible and nice IRC client. It integrates well with the rest of Emacs, so you get the full power of a magnificent editor in all your IRC windows; it can connect to multiple servers; it can use Bitlbee as a back-end for instant messaging; but most importantly it can be tuned, customized and extended right there from within Emacs, like any other Emacs Lisp application. If you have used GNU Emacs and you feel comfortable working with it, these two (Gnus and ERC) can probably be a very useful and powerful combo. More information about them (and many other Emacs modules) is available online at the Emacs Wiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/CategoryGnus http://www.emacswiki.org/ERC These two aren't exactly XFCE-specific, but I consider this a huge advantage, instead of a short-coming :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [mod_mono] how to install from freebsd?
Hello Javier, Thanks for the tip. They have released new versions since then, but I'll give it a try and see how it goes. By the way, what is your assessment of mono on FreeBSD? I don't see a lot of support for this platform. Even for Linux there's too much emphasis on SuSe. What is going on? Javier Martín Rueda wrote: Foo JH wrote: I'm using 7.0, and I've installed mono and apache22 from the packages (pkg_add -r xxx). Now I need to find mod_mono to complete the pieces. Trouble is, I don't see it available from the ports tree. I have these notes from some mod_mono installation I did some time ago. I hope they are still valid: I installed mono from the ports. It was just a standard install, so installing from packages should be the same.

On a XFCE 4 system, XChat-2 for IRC, Sylpheed for POP mail would give you a good setup that does not involve too much dependencies. On the other hand, using Firefox + Thunderbird would be usable, too. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cups is installed and setup correctly following the Handbook method but i'm finding that the uhub is getting disabled, stalling and timing out. I have reproduced the same results on my other system. Both systems are running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE GENERIC kernel. The error message from dmesg is: uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 I do not have any issues with usb mouse or keyboards. Is this a known issue or can i rectify the problem at all. Would be grateful for some help as i am new to this level of configuration. I've seen problems like this on my old PC, which is running an Asus A7V333 motherboard from 2002. Its EHCI controller is reported as adhering to the 0.95 standard, which according to the update document from http://www.intel.com/technology/usb/ehcispec.htm was finished in 2000. I've assumed that since it's so ancient it's no surprise that it struggles with modern USB devices. Unfortunately I don't know of any solutions - or even if that's the problem. The first step would probably be to let people see what sort of hardware you have: could you post the output of the dmesg command please? -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
