For static content, buffering a TCP connection is certainly good enough. But for live streams and video conferencing, buffering adds latency (and the bigger the buffer, the higher the latency). The effect is then similar to what you observe if you talked on a geostationary satellite network, doing multiple uplink-downlink hops (many times 1/3 of a second). That's quite noticeable and pretty annoying. Some people prefer a couple of lost frames to this latency, and that's why protocols like RTP do have their uses (even if we ignored multicasting). And for a real-world example: just look at the way the GSM network deals with lost frames in the traffic channels (TCH) of the Um interface (radio link between BTS and MS): they're not requested again, but simply compensated for with error correction codes, or even dropped. A TCP-like link there would be non-sensical. This may not apply to the control channels, where latency is not so important, as opposed to data integrity, but for the voice traffic itself, it makes perfect sense.

Jerry, please excuse my reply, but I think you're not right, and unfair. On Mon, 25 May 2009 15:48:16 -0400, Jerry ges...@yahoo.com wrote: Seriously, one of the major problems I face when trying to get an associate or friend to try a non Windows solution is printing. Windows users are use to just sticking a CD in the box, installing the driver and whatever other programs the distributor has assembled for them, and then printing. Atleast in Germany, they let a computer literate friend do this, because they are not able to, not willing to, or just too lazy. :-) *nix systems have never been really 'printer' friendly. Explicite NO. This is wrong. So, what's correct? Correct is that (1) FreeBSD is extremely printer-friendly to printers that conform to existing standards. Other than the Windows PC that needs drivers specific to the many different Windows versions that exist, FreeBSD doesn't need any drivers in best case, which is a PS capable printer. No poppin' in of CDs and Yes, yes, yes, yes, reboot. In many other cases, tools like apsfilter or CUPS can handle the printer without much interaction. Furthermore correct is that (2) most printers (or devices that the manufacturer calls that way) are not FreeBSD-friendly. This is of course intended, because the manufacturer doesn't want you to use anything except Windows, because that's everything that exists, and MICROS~1 invented the PC, the mouse, the Internet and the universe anyway. :-) If the menufacturers would stick to existing standards and USE them, there wouldn't be so much problems. In any case, please recognize that I don't disagree with you that printing on FreeBSD can cause trouble in the installation phase, but once you got things working, you don't need to do anything else, and it won't fail. On Windows systems, a Service pack can make the printer stop working (I've seen this once - for real). If we are ever going to increase the market share, [...] FreeBSD doesn't have oh joy oh market share, because it isn't a corporation that speculates at the stock exchange. :-) No, honestly: I appreciate every means that increases the usage share (i. e. how many users use the system, not how the buying of a product has influence on the percentage of the whole market, measured in money). And you're right, making printing more easy is one of the goals here. But this is not in FreeBSD's hand (or in the hands of the developers of FreeBSD, or of apsfilter, or of CUPS). It's the printer makers who invent new stuff day by day, only supplying drivers for the most recent Windows. [...] improving the whole printer 'experience' needs to be given some serious consideration. Tell the printer makers not to be that stupid, and things will change - for them (sell more printers), and for FreeBSD (attract more users). When going to buy a printer, I primarily consider the compatibility OF THE PRINTER towards the OS I use, not vice versa. I always decided to use office-class printers, even at home, because they just work. Personally, I cannot see a child or even many adults, going through the convoluted steps you have described needed to get a simple printer to work. It isn't a simple printer. The steps needed to get it running indicate this. If it would be a simple printer, using PS, apsfilter or CUPS would completely do the job. And the thing even doesn't look like a printer, more like a cross-over between a toaster and a suitcase. :-) There has to be a better way. Then again, that is just my 2¢ on the matter. Yes, the better way would be the manufacturers using the existing standards. It even IS that simple. Or they could release their specifications so volunteers would quickly write a printer driver for their product. In my opinion, FreeBSD does it better than Windows: It comes with printer drivers (or they can be installed without a CD just by pkg_add -r apsfilter or pkg_add -r cups) and loads the proper driver automatically.

documented by Sun), and so far I am warm :-)
Once I'd increased kmem, at least. I did get a panic before that, but
now I am shuffling data happily and slightly faster than gvinum did, and
memory has levelled off at about 160MB for zfs. I'll be keeping my
previous hardware RAID in one piece for a little while though, I think,
just in case! (old Adaptec card with a 2TB limit on containers).
I moved my AMANDA tapeless backup system to ZFS well over a year ago.
It's got four 500GB SATA drives.
At first, it would panic frequently sometime during the backup. The
backups peak at ~400Mbps of network traffic. I adopted the following
script to write out the memory usage during the backup, so I could
better tune the system (sorry, I can't recall where I found this code snip):
#!/bin/sh
TEXT=`/sbin/kldstat | /usr/bin/awk 'BEGIN {print 16i 0;} NR1 \
{print toupper($4) +} END {print p}' | dc`
DATA=`/usr/bin/vmstat -m | sed -Ee \

DATE=`/bin/date | awk '{print $4}'`
/bin/echo $DATE `/bin/echo $TOTAL | \
/usr/bin/awk '{print $1/1048576}'` /home/steve/mem.usage
Cronned every minute, I'd end up with a file like this:

19:19:01 473.265
19:20:01 471.874
19:21:02 471.94
...the next day, I'd be able to review this file to see what the memory
usage was at the time of the panic/reboot.
I found that:
vm.kmem_size=1536M
vm.kmem_size_max=1536M

The 7-function multimedia slot seems to work, but the only time I've used it to copy data from a card, it was excruciatingly slow. It took hours to copy a 2 GB SD card (kept stalling and moving no data for minutes at a time). I haven't tried to find the reason for that yet, but my vague recollection is that I've run into that problem in the past and was able to fix it. Haven't yet tested the camera, but it is seen by the USB system, so I expect there to be software out there that knows what to do with it.

Re: Secure unsalted or fixed salt symmetric encryption?
On May 25, 2009, at 2:00 PM, Roland Smith wrote: You could use the -S option and specify a constant salt. It might make the encrypted materials easier to break, though. You can generate a random salt with openssl as well: Or you can use the -nosalt option. But as explained in [http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/enc.html], using a random salt by default is a design decision because: Without the -salt option it is possible to perform efficient dictionary attacks on the password. That doesn't sound good, does it? This is being used for file encryption, not password encryption. So a dictionary attack isn't all that likely unless the encrypted files are of a specific nature (known template which remains constant while only small parts of the file vary). Note that without salt (or with constant salt) an attacker would know which files are identical both within a snapshot or across them. But this is pretty much what the OP wants the back-up system to know, so I guess that would be okay. If you are using a (e.g. USB connected) disk as backup, use geli(8) to encrypt the whole disk instead of encrypting each file separately. The OP may be doing something like rsync over an insecure network. But in the absence of details about the OPs situation it's hard to make solid recommendations. As you suggest, encrypting the resulting back-up filesystem is probably the the best option if the back-up filesystem is exacted to be the target of attack.

Hi people.
Please help!
This morning I decided to go back to plain smtp without
authentication that I had enabled about one year ago
following the instructions in the handbook.
Now sendmail doesn't deliver any more local mail.
Here's part of a line from /var/log/maillog
stat=Deferred: Connection reset by local
and
# sendmail -bp
...
n4Q8Wf2u075903 1254 Tue May 26 10:32 au...@host1.com
(reply: read error from local)
anotheru...@host2.com
Total requests: 118
So here's what I've done this morning:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/saslauthd stop
edit /etc/rc.conf to remove the following line:
saslauthd_enable=YES
edit /etc/make.conf and remove the following lines:
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2
# cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd
# make deinstall
# cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2
# make deinstall

# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
# make cleandir make obj make
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
# make cleandir make obj make
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make cleandir make obj make make install
# cd /etc/mail
edit /etc/mail/myhost.mydomain.mc
Remove these lines from it:
dnl set SASL options

define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl

Better version of ispell?
Is there a version/improvment of ispell that: % Lets you exclude certain sections of a file from spellchecking? Example: I often email sendmail logs with their random-character queue ids. I don't want ispell to check those cut/pasted logs. % Lets you declare correctly-spelled words as being incorrect? % Example: I often misspell the word cron as corn; ispell obviously doesn't catch this. I rarely use the word corn. I want to remove corn from the dictionary w/o actually tweaking /usr/dict/words or whatever ispell uses. I know you can *add* words (using %$HOME/.ispell_english for example), but what spellchecker lets you *remove* them as well? I know about aspell, but think it suffers from the same limitations (in fact, ti may be the same program?) I posted a similar query to aspell-u...@gnu.org earlier, but got no reply, so I thought I'd try this list instead. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

But as explained in [http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/enc.html], using a random salt by default is a design decision because: Without the -salt option it is possible to perform efficient dictionary attacks on the password. That doesn't sound good, does it? This is being used for file encryption, not password encryption. Of course. So a dictionary attack isn't all that likely unless the encrypted files are of a specific nature Suppose you are encrypting a tarfile that includes /usr/src/. There are definitely files in that tree that haven't changed in a long time. These could be used as (partial) cribs. (known template which remains constant while only small parts of the file vary). Or if you have the case of a 'known-plaintext' attack. It happens more often than you would think: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack] Note that using a random salt would be a good protection against such an attack! I agree that in this case such an attack seems unlikely. From the original posters' questions I get the feeling that he is looking for an incremental encrypted backup solution for a large file or files. All possible solutions involve trade-offs between ease of use, robustness and security. And as you've said making a good choice requires more insight into the constraints.

Yes, I think so. Thanks! I just have to figure out how to draw
circles 'n stuff. I've never used The Gimp for drawing before,
but it seems to be okay for this task. Seems that it's not
wrong to learn a bit Gimp.
By the way, I had a look at XFig - anyone knows this? Looks
and feels very professional, at least I found things quicker
than in Gimp. But XFig doesn't seem to be able to align Text
on a circle.
And Wojciech, because me fail math, doing it in LaTeX seems
to be too complicated right now. What I have is an image of
what will be in the center of the circle (needs to be clipped
against the circle perimeter, and maybe scaled). I've used
some google and found that there's a \cicle macro that can
draw circles d, position with put (x, y), but alignment of
text to the circle and rotating it seems to be a job - as
you suggested - for pre-calculated values, like doing a
put(position, rotate(character, degree)).
Do [ Me continue Gimp() until fail; redo in \LaTeX{} then ];
until 1400 tomorrow. :-)

Coincidentally, I have been working on this problem today. Do you have the textproc/docbook-to-man port installed on your machine? I recently changed security/logcheck to use textproc/docbook2X to convert its SGML man page source into a man page, since its a much lighter-weight port than docbook-to-man. However, if docbook-to-man is already installed, it should be used instead of docbook2X. I didn't take that into account initially. I just updated the port, so please refresh your tree and try reinstalling. Let me know how that works for you.

How to detect when gmirror sync is complete?
I know I could have a script that continually checks gmirror status to detect when a gmirror synchronization has completed, but is there a more event-driven approach? Something that could be used to trigger and event like devd does for drive pulls/inserts would be nice.

Re: sendmail: stat=Deferred: Connection reset by local
Thank you Wojciech and Tim.

I recently changed security/logcheck to use textproc/docbook2X to convert its SGML man page source into a man page, since its a much lighter-weight port than docbook-to-man. However, if docbook-to-man is already installed, it should be used instead of docbook2X. I didn't take that into account initially. I just updated the port, so please refresh your tree and try reinstalling. Let me know how that works for you. I just finished updating my ports tree, both from cvsup1.us.freebsd.org and from cvsup15.us.freebsd.org (the fastest from a fastest_cvsup output), but the security/logcheck port didn't update. How long should I wait to see in in the ports tree, or is there a non-normal location to pull the ports from? Thanks! Bryan Hi Bryan, Ok, I think the FreeBSD mail server has implemented greylisting, so that's probably why there was a delivery delay. Understood. I was just a bit annoyed at the delay, so I hit up the questions@ list to see if anyone else had an answer. I'm glad you keep an eye on this list too. Thanks! By any chance do you have the textproc/docbook-4.1 port installed? That's the actual port that conflicts with docbook2X, but docbook-to-man typically has it as a dependency. If you don't, then I need to do a little more troubleshooting. Yes, I did have it installed. It is now uninstalled. No dependencies were listed, so it didn't hurt to take it out. I didn't bump the PORTREVISION on the port, but check the header of the Makefile. If it's version 1.26, then you have the latest one. I always update my ports trees with portsnap, and updates are generated within an hour or so, I think. I have the version described: # $FreeBSD: ports/security/logcheck/Makefile,v 1.26 2009/05/26 20:25:59 glarkin Exp $ The build of security/logcheck (Makefile version 1.26) breaks in exactly the same way as described in my initial e-mail. CUT === logcheck-1.2.54_3 depends on executable: docbook2man - found === logcheck-1.2.54_3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.9 - found === Configuring for logcheck-1.2.54_3 === Building for logcheck-1.2.54_3 *** Error code 255 After uninstalling the textproc/docbook-4.1 port, I was able to do a make install clean on the logcheck port just fine. It looks to me like the Makefile needs to check to see if docbook-4.1 is installed, and if so, exit with a warning/error something to the effect of textproc/docbook4.1 breaks the
Another uptime story
...unfortunately, due to re-racking and upgrade requirements, I have to pull the plug. There is nothing hidden or obfuscated in my output, and I am not ashamed of that. Just a little bit of sadness of having to 'down' it, given this uptime in my relatively hostile environment. *sigh* I know this usually generates flames, but in the past, I've seen these types of messages do more good than harm. Someone have a beer for me as I watch my personal uptime record go bye-bye: radius# uptime 11:01PM up 553 days, 13:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 radius# date Tue May 26 23:01:37 EDT 2009 radius# uname -a FreeBSD radius.eagle.ca 6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #0: Thu Jun 14 15:16:10 EDT 2007 r...@radius.eagle.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RADIUS i386 ...and for archive purposes: radius# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project.
