If I got it clear, I pretty much might get the base system updated by using freebsd-update script. Ports collection can get updated with portsnap, but that doesn't update neither the intalled ports, nor the installed packages. To upgrade the installed ports, portmanager or portmaster or portupgrade can be used... However only portupgrade can be used to upgrade packages, right? Now, can something like portupgrade -a -PP to upgrade all packages without building a thing (might be that some don't get updated due to the lack of binary package yet, and in such case would dependencies be managed right)? Right. More into how things work, as ports and pacakages are not part of the base systems, are they somehow associated to a particular release (most probably not)? So that pretty much no matter the release, if packages and ports are kept up to date, they might be the same for all releases? There are downloadable packages that are regularly built from the latest ports tree. There are different packages available for different releases though (eg. 6.x vs 7.x, i386 vs amd64). The theory goes that you can use i386 packages built for (for example) 6.4 on a 6.3 system. Possibly all the way back to 6.0. If you're relying on prebuilt packages then ideally you should try to keep the base system updated where possible. I'm asking these questions since I'm evaluating moving to BSD, but I want to avoid compiling as much as possible since my box is 800MHz piii celeron with just 32KB of cache and 512MB of ram, and for it source based distributions have proven to be too much to handle, so my intention would be to live with binary packages and updates/upgrades only... Those specs should be fine if you're building small software such as Squid, Apache, Samba, etc. I build everything I need (http server + http cache + mail server + spam filter + more) from source using a 1 GHz Pentium III with 256 Mb (using portmaster). Firefox, GNOME or KDE would take a long time with 800 MHz. But I wouldn't really like to run those big apps at only 800 MHz either. There's no reason why you can't install the larger software from packages then just build the smaller stuff from source. With portupgrade -PP you're still going to have to keep your ports tree updated (I use portsnap) so it's not a lot of extra effort to build from source. Actually I don't run desktop managers, just plain fluxbox over X. And I use X mostly to browse the web. But any ways, I've run source based linux distributions in the past, and although it's fun, my box takes too much time to keep up with the rolling changes. So I've learned it's better to keep updating through binaries in this good old boxes... I think you'll find that keeping relatively up-to-date on FreeBSD using ports is fairly easy, even on a lowish powered machine especially since you don't use the big desktop environments. Install portaudit so that you only upgrade when there is a security problem (or a must have feature). The bigger stuff like Firefox you can run at night. You will also find that FreeBSD is quite good at multitasking and that whilst building ports it's perfectly possible to get on with your work in comfort. More so than Linux. Also if remaining under -STABLE, is all this possible? Kind of understood that openoffice.org can't be installed with pkg_add -r, so most probably if living under -STABLE automatic updates for openoffice.org won't show up... So this kinds of answers one previous question about the packages been independent from the base system release, it looks like they aren't... Not too sure what you're asking here, and I've never used -STABLE. Keep in mind though that you can't use freebsd-update if you're using -STABLE (AFAIK). Ups, I didn't know that... so freebsd-update only works on -RELEASE's. I'm not sure that was explicit in the documentation, good to know, :) So the only way to live in -STABLE up to date is to keep the base system up to date through compilation... Yep, but I only track STABLE when it's got some fix for some hardware/software that I must have, otherwise I track RELEASES then you can use freebsd-update. BTW, I just retired a 300MHz Celeron that I used a combination of packages ports (but mainly ports). My new laptop, I just use ports. I find ports less troublesome than packages.

It's been a while since I've done a virgin cups install so I'm not real current on what it might be like now. You start out with installing the /usr/ports/print/cups metaport and this should pull in a few other sub ports as dependencies. The port cups-pstoraster is what coverts postscript print output into PCL, utilizing (IIRC) one of the ghostscript ports. Perhaps your install may be incomplete.

Backup complete gmirror/gstripe/gjournal drives, how-to?
Hello,
I've got a 7.1-PRERELEASE i386 box with 4 SATA drives configured in a
RAID-10 using gmirror, gstripe, and gjournal. Normally, I use dump and
rsync for periodic backups on this machine, but I suspect that the
gmirror/gstripe/gjournal information is not being backed up.
If my assumption is correct, how can I perform a one-time backup such
that I could do a bare-metal restore? The essence of the question being
I want to preserve not only the data, but also the
gmirror/gstripe/gjournal meta-data as well.
The only thought that comes to mind is to boot with a 7.1 live
filesystem CD-ROM and dd each drive, piping the results to my backup
machine. e.g.,
host# dd if=/dev/ad4 bs=2m | gzip | nc backuphost 12345
host# dd if=/dev/ad6 bs=2m | gzip | nc backuphost 12346
host# dd if=/dev/ad10 bs=2m | gzip | nc backuphost 12347
host# dd if=/dev/ad12 bs=2m | gzip | nc backuphost 12348
Any thoughts, suggestions, caveats?

The essence of the question being I want to assuming you do gmirror first and then gstripe of gmirror then use dd to read last sectors of each disk drive and each gmirror device. and backup disklabels Thanks for the suggestion. I did, in fact, create a gstripe of two gmirrors. If you don't mind me asking, how would one use the dd output you described above to restore those data? Would it include the gjournal metadata as well? i don't know how gjournal works but geom data is always at last sector of provider ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The section reads: -snip- 31.5.7 IPMON Logging Syslogd uses its own special method for segregation of log data. It uses special groupings called facility and level. IPMON in -Ds mode uses security as the facility name. All IPMON logged data goes to security The following levels can be used to further segregate the logged data if desired: LOG_INFO - packets logged using the log keyword as the action rather than pass or block. LOG_NOTICE - packets logged which are also passed LOG_WARNING - packets logged which are also blocked LOG_ERR - packets which have been logged and which can be considered short To setup IPFILTER to log all data to /var/log/ipfilter.log, you will need to create the file. The following command will do that: # touch /var/log/ipfilter.log The syslog function is controlled by definition statements in the /etc/syslog.conf file. The syslog.conf file offers considerable flexibility in how syslog will deal with system messages issued by software applications like IPF. Add the following statement to /etc/syslog.conf: security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log The security.* means to write all the logged messages to the coded file location. To activate the changes to /etc/syslog.conf you can reboot or bump the syslog task into re-reading /etc/syslog.conf by running /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload Do not forget to change /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the new log you just created above. -snip- In trying to configure this I found that ipmon -Dsa doesn't log to security, but logs to local0 instead. Reading the man page for ipmon does in fact state this. However it also list the -L option as being able to change this default behavior, I tried ipmon -DSa -L security, it excepts this, but doesn't actually change the logging to use security. It still only outputs to the syslog using local0, I also tried using ipmon -DSa -L local7 as well, still outputs to local0. It was easy enough to modify my syslog.conf to output the local0.* as well as security.* to the /var/log/security file. However it would be greatly appreciated if someone that actually understands what's going on here could get this info updated. It would have saved me some time, as well as I am sure some other people in the future. Of course it's always possible I am missing something simple here that is causing this discrepancy, please do inform me if I did. It's probably worth mentioning that I am starting ipmon using the rc.conf file with ipmon_enable=YES and ipmon_flags=-DSa, just in case the /etc/rc.d/ipmon script actually changes the default behavior of ipmon in some way, though I didn't see anything in it that should. And ps wwaux | grep ipmon does display the process running with the flags exactly as stated on the ipmon_flags line of the /etc/rc.conf file. Thanks, Dean Weimer Network Administrator Orscheln Management Co I wrote that whole firewall handbook section. How is the following for complete replacement of the 31.5.7 IPMON Logging section? 31.5.7 IPMON Logging Syslogd uses its own special method for segregation of log data. It uses special groupings called ‘facility’ and ‘level’. IPMON in –Ds mode uses local0 as the ‘facility’ name. All IPMON logged data goes to local0. You have to manually configure the /etc/syslog.conf file by adding the statements to direct the Local0 'facility' to the log file name recording the log records. FBSD keeps all of its syslog files in /var/log/ directory. First allocate the new named log file for the IPFMON logged data. touch /var/log/ipfilter.log # will allocate the file The syslog function is controlled by definition statements in the /etc/syslog.conf file. You will have to edit the /etc/syslog.conf file. Add the following statement to syslog.conf: local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log The local0.* means to write all the logged messages to the coded file location. To activate the changes to /etc/syslog.conf you can reboot or bump the syslog task into re-reading /etc/syslog.conf by kill –HUP pid. You get the pid (IE: process number) by listing the tasks with the ps ax command. Find syslog in the display and the pid number is the number in the left column. Don’t forget to change /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the new named IPFILTER log you just created above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail
