This would be one way to do it:
find /usr/ports/ -type f -exec grep -sq adduser {} \; -print
That is horribly inefficient because it forks a separate
grep process for every single file under /usr/ports.
Also it will print a lot of false positive, because the
ports tree contains several files and scripts that call
adduser.
How about man pkg_info
From memory: pkg_info -W /usr/sbin/adduser
That won't work, because pkg_info only reports information
about packages that you have installed.
One way to find which ports provide a certain file is to
use the porgle search engine:
http://www.secnetix.de/tools/porgle/?w=pq=adduser
However, there is an adduser command in /usr/sbin which is
part of the FreeBSD base system. If some script complains
about that command being missing, you should invstigate
whether you do have that command in /usr/sbin.
It's unlikely that a port requires a different command with
the same name without having a dependency on the port that
provides that command.

Re: gmirror THEN geli, correct?
Modulok modu...@gmail.com wrote: I'm looking for a confirmation on the order: When setting up a (root partiton) gmirror+geli, what is the propper order? e.g: gmirror the disks and THEN initialize geli on the /dev/mirror partitions? Is this correct? You can also do it the other way round. Both ways are possible and have different advantages and disadvantages. I think most people install gmirror first and put geli on top of it. The advantage of this is that it's more efficient, because data passes through geli only once for encryption when writing to the mirror. If you install geli first on both disks and then put gmirror on top of both geli instances, all data has to be encrypted twice when writing to the disk (for reading it doesn't make a difference), so it is less efficient. However, this setup has the advantage that gmirror will correctly detach one drive when its geli instance detects data corruption (if integrity verification is enabled).

What I don't understand is things like pciids-20090224. It's required by hal. About half of the dependencies seem to be Xorg-related things (fonts, libraries, protocols). There are also dependencies for supporting various graphics formats (png, jpeg, tiff) and scripting languages (python, perl). Well, it all adds up. So it's not just things that OO depends on directly, but things those programs depend on, /ad incipio/. That's ... confusing. Well, package dependency is a transitive relation (in fact, it's even a transitive closure). So if you ask for the list of dependencies for a package, you'll get a list of _all_ packages required to run it, which also includes indirect dependencies, because these are required, too, of course.

Re: how to recover after power outage
Check the machine-hostname.err file when you manually try and start MySQL. Provided that you have mysql_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf you should be able to manually attempt to start with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start (it seems to work reliably when you type out the entire command path- wise). Note that if somehow permissions on the my.cnf file got changed MySQL won't start if my.cnf is world writable. Check for stale PID and sockets. Normally these shouldn't be a problem as a startup will just overwrite them. Check these to eliminate any wonkiness, e.g. some permission change isn't allowing for MySQL to wipe the old ones. The whateverthehostname.err log and possibly /var/log/messages might give some clue for what's going on. If the database files are corrupt just clean them out and replace with a backup done with dump. Ensure the /var/ db/mysql tree is chowned mysql:mysql. If you had to install/reinstall from ports the install should have created the appropriate uid/gid accounts. Check and see if these are missing. At any rate I wish you the best of luck. Now that you can SSH in you can probably fix it up. Okay, so my new database server is running with backup data and I am trying to salvage the old database, or what's left of it. Unfortunately, it seems like what's left of it, is not much. the /var/db/mysql directory tree is now a file: qu# ls -l /var/db/mysql -rwx-- 2 mysql wheel 1024 Jul 5 2008 /var/db/mysql The situation looks hopeless to me. Is it? Another question: given that the file system took a major hit, should I try to fix it, or just do a clean install? I'm leaning towards the clean install since I've been meaning to upgrade this machine to 7.1 anyway. Is there anyway to fix the file system, reliably? fsck doesn't seem to be able to solve all the problems. -- John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

where is spl_autoload found in PHP
Hi,
I saw Zend in the ports and so I'm hoping that some here use it and can
help me with this one. I've installed the latest stable Zend, which is a
little newer than what I found in ports, and I'm running PHP version 5.2.8
(which I did install from ports). I'm going through the Zend QuickStart
guide
(http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart/create-an-action-controller-and-view),
and ran into this error when loading the page at this point of the quick
start;
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Exception' with message 'spl_autoload
does not exist in this PHP installation' in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/QuickStart/library/Zend/Loader.php:206 Stack

Zend_Loader::registerAutoload() #1 {main} thrown in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/QuickStart/library/Zend/Loader.php on line 206
I've searched through the ports looking for auto and load in php5 modules
and I've found nothing (I did my searching at freshports.org). I then did a
make config in the /usr/ports/lang/php5 directory but didn't see a check
box for spl_autoload in the options. How do I get this installed in my PHP
installation?
Thanks,
Andy

I'm not sure it works. When I do a large download which takes long and
anybody else want download too, this download will only get a reduce
bandwidth. I expect that the second download get same rate as the first one
(and reduce the bandwidth from the first one). Is that correct?
your example limits it all to 80kB/s but does no traffic management. so it
may get the same rate (half by half) or may not.
do
$ipfwcmd pipe 1 config bw 80kByte/s
$ipfwcmd queue 1 config pipe 1 weight 1 mask dst-ip 0x
$ipfwcmd add queue 1 ip from any to 192.168.10.0/24{100-254} via em1
this will limit them to 80kB/s and perform fair-sharing based of hosts.
for example if one user on one computer will start 100 downloads, and
other on other computer will start 1 download, this will ensure that first
user will not takeover most bandwidth.
I will try it in the next days and give you a feedback. Thanks.

Yes. When background FSCK first became standard I let it go that way on my production servers. The first time we had a power issue that resulted in a shutdown of a server it tried to come back up when the power was restored. I have a large number of daemons that rely on configure files and other information that is reasonably frequently updated. Some of those files were in the process of being updated when it shut down. As a result background FSCK did not get around to those files till much after the daemons were up and running (or trying to run). Most of them worked ok at the beginning. However after FSCK resolved the problems, the underlying files changed. The daemons couldn't function at that point. While a simple reboot at that point fixed everything, that caused yet another outage for users. Hence, I disabled background FSCK. There have been a few power issues since then and there have been no recovery issues with foreground FSCK other than the restart takes a bit longer. This is reproducible since it happened on several different servers. However, I am not about to go back and subject users to additional downtime when a viable workaround that avoids the problem exists. I doubt that the concept of background FSCK is broken and I suspect that the implementation is good too. The issue is that some services really should not be started till after FSCK (either variety) has completed.

I've tried to answer your points, apologies if I have misunderstood any of them. Polytropon wrote: Compiling applications in general will lead you into one main problem: Many ports have different options that need to be set at compile time. For a set of n options, 2^n packages would be created, if I consider the WITH_SOMETHING options only. It's true but many ports would not be included in this desktop package set. I suspect still that plenty of people would be happy with defaults for many of the desktop apps. One example is mplayer. Its various options select which codecs to include or if / if not to build with mencoder. In regards of different national law, it may even be prohibited to include a several codec, so it needs to be installed afterwards manually. i think Matthew deals with this one in his later post. But ok maybe there are one or two ports for which you provide a binary with default config but many people recompile it anyway. They would still have all the dependencies already installed. Since we are talking about a fixed point ports tree then all the lib and dependency versions would match and - voila no problem. Another example is (you mentioned it) OpenOffice. In the past, I was happy to do # pkg_add -r de-openoffice or something similar. Today, I'm happy that someone put a precompiled package of OpenOffice online and announced it on the de- mailing list. So you would be keen to have OO available. So would a few other people judging by the openoffice topic going at the moment. The topic internationalization comes into mind here. I'm not sure how OpenOffice decides which language to use, maybe this is to be set at compile time, too. Yes this occurred to me after I made my inital post but I think Matthew deals with this one as well. (Side note: I prefer good english language in my programs instead of poor german translation which is quite bad. OpenOffice, and in the past StarOffice, is the only exception for me.) As you see, I am a big fan of pkg_add, but it doesn't work in every case. No because the packages are built on a rolling ports tree. The crucial difference is that the whole thing is a type of ports-snapshot so everything matches. On Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:13:22 +0100, Chris Whitehouse cwhi...@onetel.com wrote: Ports is rightly a flagship element of FreeBSD. The benefit is configureability and consistency. The obvious downside is it takes so long to update a desktop machine with a normal set of ports installed, particularly lower spec hardware or laptops. pkg_add somewhat addresses this but it doesn't work quite as well as ports because of possible version mismatches. It's always good to use an integrated tool such as portupgrade or portmaster to get rid of such problems (like pkgdb -aF). It allows automating the updating process, but as you know, something can happen and the update stops during the night. yes this is a downside of upgrading by compiling from ports, regardless of whether you use portmanager portupgrade or portmaster. I'm trying to avoid the necessity of the update happening through the night at all. Modify pkg_add so that it can be told to use this 'snapshot' including downloading the fixed ports tree that was used. You can tell pkg_add to get packages from a completely differnent place, this doesn't need a modification of this system's program itself. But a kind of wrapper would help here. The modification is that pkg_add with --ports-snapshot option (or a completely new utility) would hook into this ports-snapshot which consists of a ports tree and a set of packages which are built from 'this' ports tree. Maybe the only change is that pkg_add gets the ports tree snapshot from which the ports were built. I think it is also implicit that if you download a new snapshot you get the ports tree plus all the packages installed on your computer that have been upgraded since your last snapshot. You would not use it by downloading the ports tree snapshot and choosing only to upgrade certain ports. Compare freebsd-update which I think updates everything in your base system, not by you choosing which bits to update. Some benefits to this system are [...] - don't need to mess with portupgrade etc. I always felt that tools like portupgrade make things easier, not messier, but I'm oldfashioned, so don't give anything on my very individual opinion. :-) Yes the ports-mgmt utilities are useful. Still quite a lot of list time is spent on problems around upgrading ports, regardless of the utility used to do the upgrading. A centrally managed set of packages would have access to a group of experts who would be able to fix problems quickly (using the time they didn't have to spend on answering questions on list :) ) - it generally increases the useability of FreeBSD as a

In the past, I was happy to do # pkg_add -r de-openoffice or something similar. Today, I'm happy that someone put a precompiled package of OpenOffice online and announced it on the de- mailing list. Hmmm... I was thinking about this the other day. There are two classes of behaviour where OPTIONS functionality could be passed down to the compiled pkg level. The first is where choosing an option /only/ affects the dependency tree for a package. The phpMyAdmin port I maintain is like this: by setting OPTIONS you can avoid installing some php modules -- the phpMyAdmin code automatically detects the presence or absence of those modules and does the right thing automatically. Adding an interactive options menu to provide the same functionality when installing from packages seems to me to be do-able, although I admit to no great expertise at C programming. However, aside from meta- ports, this sort of OPTIONS behaviour is probably fairly unusual in the ports tree. The second case is far more common and far more interesting. This is where toggling an option controls whether some sub-set of files get installed or not, without any changes to other parts of the port. Adding different localizations in many programs, or choosing which out of a set of drivers for different pieces of hardware to install (eg. in print/ghostscript8) are cases in point. Now, one answer to providing the full flexibility of such a port when installed via packages is simply to split up the port into a lot of smaller ports, which reduces the problem to the previous one of using OPTIONS to control the dependency tree. The various different php5 modules are a good example of this sort of approach in practice. The disadvantages are exploding the number of directories within the ports tree, requiring maintainers for all of the newly created tiny little ports and generally increasing the amount of work it takes to maintain everything. Now, one way of alleviating some of the the maintenance burden would be a fairly simple idea I had. At the moment, there's a one-to-one relationship between port directories in the ports tree and the packages installed from them. But that doesn't have to be so: why can't typing 'make install' in a port directory end up installing several different packages? Seems quite feasible to me to install a number of sub-ports as one operation. One final note: there's a degenerate case of this behaviour for virtually all ports in the tree. When installing from ports, you can set 'NOPORTDOCS' and 'NOPORTEXAMPLES' to avoid installing documentation or examples respectively. When installing from packages you don't get that capability. Having foo-docs-n.nn.nn and foo-examples-n.nn.nn sub-ports would give you that. cheers, Matthew You've suggested solutions to a couple of Polytropon's objections, thank you. Do you think there is anough mileage in my suggestion to make it worth putting in front of some ports people? What would have to happen to take it forward? I could rewrite the proposal more clearly. I suspect it would be easier to implement than freebsd-update, as a good deal of the infrastructure already exists, and would have similar benefits. To start developing it would require a ports tree and a selection of packages compiled from that ports tree. 7.2 Release is coming up. Maybe the ports tree plus packages from that would be a good place to start.

I usually hit ^C as soon as I see a line of ... depends on ... not found and add this via pkg_add -r. If there are dependencies for such a dependency, they will be installed as well. So I finally end up compliling mplayer, and not Gnome or other heavy stuff. Since we are talking about a fixed point ports tree then all the lib and dependency versions would match and - voila no problem. Exactly. Because the sources of pkg_add -r are usually a bit older than the port mplayer itself, there may be slightly different version numbers. But in most cases, it doesn't matter because we're talking about subsubminor version numbers. Another example is (you mentioned it) OpenOffice. In the past, I was happy to do # pkg_add -r de-openoffice or something similar. Today, I'm happy that someone put a precompiled package of OpenOffice online and announced it on the de- mailing list. So you would be keen to have OO available. So would a few other people judging by the openoffice topic going at the moment. Yes, I completely agree with that. As far as I know, the correct internationalisation *requires* compiling. A precompiled OO in English cannot be made a German one. (Side note: I prefer good english language in my programs instead of poor german translation which is quite bad. OpenOffice, and in the past StarOffice, is the only exception for me.) As you see, I am a big fan of pkg_add, but it doesn't work in every case. No because the packages are built on a rolling ports tree. The crucial difference is that the whole thing is a type of ports-snapshot so everything matches. Well, the precompiled packages are somewhat -STABLE every time. There is no exactly RELEASE, except you're using the RELEASE system without updating, and then the packages from the CD. Or the packages for RELEASE from the FTP server. In every other case, the Latest packages are used which may bring up problems with a system that is not up to date. yes this is a downside of upgrading by compiling from ports, regardless of whether you use portmanager portupgrade or portmaster. I'm trying to avoid the necessity of the update happening through the night at all. That's why I do install once, use then. :-) The modification is that pkg_add with --ports-snapshot option (or a completely new utility) would hook into this ports-snapshot which consists of a ports tree and a set of packages which are built from 'this' ports tree. Maybe the only change is that pkg_add gets the ports tree snapshot from which the ports were built. That would preserve the consistency of ports and packages. While you can use the sup files for make update to specify a certain point in time of the ports tree, I think you cannot to the samt with a package, let's say pkg_add -date=2009-01-01 -r xmms to fit a requirement of a local ports tree dated at this timestamp. I think it is also implicit that if you download a new snapshot you get the ports tree plus all the packages installed on your computer that have been upgraded since your last snapshot. You would not use it by downloading the ports tree snapshot and choosing only to upgrade certain ports. Again, this is a good idea which would also preserve consistency. You could binary upgrade your whole system without getting into trouble with a certain version changing. Compare

The ports tree is tagged so that a snapshot can be retrieved using csup, and packages are built for publication on (for example) ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.0-release/ It is but the difference in what I am imagining is the frequency which would be much higher than releases. And answering more than your question, the difference between this and the pkg_add system is that this is based on a fixed ports tree, whereas pkg_add is based on a rolling ports tree, so Granted this includes all package-distributable ports rather than a typical desktop subset.

How big can a tar file get?
Because of a big problem I had this weekend, I need to do an emergency backup. I'm basically just creating a tar file of my /home directory. My question: how big can a file get on FreeBSD?

I'm basically just creating a tar file of my /home directory. My question: how big can a file get on FreeBSD? This tar.gz file is already 5G. Hard drive space is no problem, but as I'm watching this file grow, I'm wondering if there is some file size limit that is going to make this long backup abort. Naturally, that will happen when the backup is almost complete :-) With the default blocksize (16384) UFS2 can deal with files up to 128TB. However traditional tar only supports up to 8GB while the newer ustar format goes up to 64GB. It seems that at least on 7.x tar creates ustar archives by default. I think you're referring to the maximum size of a file tar can store; the total size of a tarfile has no limit, since it's a streaming format. Each stored file is independant of previous or later files, and there is no summary file-list either in the front or at the end. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Controllers/Drives renumbered
Earlier today, I installed a new HP SCSI (HP SmartArray 642)controller and an HP Drive Array in my company's HP ML 350 G5. The system drive which had been da0 became da1 and the new controller became da0. Unfortunately, I cannot rearrange the controllers in the system since one is PCI-X and one is PCI Express. Is it possible to force FreeBSD 6.2 to detect the cards in a particular order so my drives are not renumbered.

portupgrade question
Hi, Silly question... when I use portupgrade on gnome installs, it interrupts itself a lot to prompt for config options. I normally take all the defaults. Is there a way to use portupgrade without all the stopping for config questions? I'd like to leave my laptop alone over-night doing a portupgrade of gnome... etc without baby-sitting it. If something does happen to get built without a setting I want, I can always redo it later, but for 95% of all the builds, I take the defaults and would rather not be prompted on those.

Multiple instances of MySQL
Good morning all, I have a situation where I am being instructed to allow a client to access MySQL remotely. We generally put those clients on a VPS and allow them free reign. In this case we cannot, they are on a shared host server. Opening our PIX to allow connections through to MySQL, and relying on MySQL security to be the sole protection, is not something I or my Network administrator is comfortable with. Has anyone setup two instances of MySQL on the same server? One running just a client's DBs? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks, DAve -- Posterity, you will know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.

Hi, Has anyone setup two instances of MySQL on the same server? One running just a client's DBs? Any advice would be helpful. That is not answering your question directly, but MySQL works finr over an SSH tunnel. You'd have your users connect/authenticate with SSH first to establish the tunnel, then they'd use the tunnel to forward the NySQl connection.

I doubt the would be an option without a GUI to do everything for the user. I suggested a VPN which we can setup easily with a Cisco Client. No answer back from the account manager on that option. If your client needs a gui to access mysql, why not use phpmyadmin (or a similar gui-based admin utility) and restrict access to his IP(s)? You can do this with your firewall rules or by using .htaccess. You can also force SSL connections, which would protect against MITM attacks on a cleartext session. (You can also require SSL and secure auth for the db and restrict access by IP using the format usern...@fqdn, but you stated that you're not comfortable depending *only* upon mysql's security capabilities.) However, I would suggest that you provide, as you suggest, a separate instance of mysql just for this client as well. If they screw up the instance they won't affect other customers. To run a separate instance, I would suggest using different names for the binaries, conf files and datadir. This can be easily done using symlinks; e.g. mysql and mysql-special. Then copy the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, rename it to mysql-special and edit it to change all references to the newly-named instance. Use a my-special.cnf file for the special instance and reference it in /etc/rc.conf using mysql_args=.
