Have you checked the permissions on /usr/local/share/rt38/html.
If you are using Apache from the ports, then it is probably running

User www should be able to read and cd into /usr/local/share/rt38/html
I would first check that.

microsoft windows help needed (DHCP server problems)
I'm running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE on my work PC. My organization runs largely Windows desktops with a sizable chunk of Mac OS X machines. Whenever a Windows/Mac connects to the Windows-based DHCP server, it not only does the normal DHCP functions (i.e. gets an IP), it also sets the hostname on the Windows server for that IP. i.e. when windows.example.org connects to dhcpserver.example.org, the dhcp server assigns to it 192.168.1.1 AND sets the PTR record for 192.168.1.1 to be windows.example.org. But for my FreeBSD box seems to only do the first part, i.e. get an IP address. The second part does not seem to be done. Is this some Windows/Mac overloading of the DHCP protocol that I cannot do, or is there some DHCP bit I need to flip to make this happen? thanks, Alex ___ 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

Is this some Windows/Mac overloading of the DHCP protocol that I

It's just a difference in behaviour between Windows and the traditional
Unixy way. MacOS X seems to have moved towards the Windows-y way of
doing things.
What's happening is that your Unix machine is getting its IP number,
default route etc. from the DHCP server, but it isn't sending
information back to the DHCP server -- such as what its hostname is.
You can use a 'send { }' clause in dhclient.conf to change that -- see
dhclient.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5). Usually it's the DHCP server that
inserts the hostname / IP pair into the DNS once it receives the
hostname back from each client.
Something like:
interface em0 {
send host-name myhost ;
send domain-name example.org ;
}
should do the trick (Untested, use appropriate common sense, yadda yadda)
Hmmm actually, perhaps I've misread your intent: you can configure
the DHCP server to override the clients idea of what its hostname is --
generally the DHCP server will tell the client to use the hostname
corresponding to the IP as already set up in the DNS or in /etc/hosts on
the DHCP server. Or else you can have the clients voluntarily request a
name from the DHCP server. To make this happen on a Unix box, you just
need to request the host name using dhclient.conf(8).

Matthew

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and windows client ?
Is there a simple software to share files between a FreeBSD server and a windows client other than Samba which is a bit overkill for my needings, I concur with the advice to use Samba, but if that's too scary, you can just use FTP. Recent versions of Windows let you define a network location that is an FTP server, and it works well enough to show the files in a pseudo-folder and drag them back and forth to local folders. On Windows, it's a poorly documented option under map network drive. Or real men run COMMAND.CMO and run FTP from the command line.

Next I will pull over the stable-cvsup stuff and see if I can fire off a build. hope this works. the kybd is hard to use. [etc.] I put a PCBSD install on an unused space on my drive. Back when I did it the FreeBSD 8.0 version was still in beta, and that is what I installed. The current state of affairs is now release status with FreeBSD 8.0 P2. I haven't seen it or used it in a while now. When I installed it I did not install any of the extra addon software packages, but rather installed the ports system and proceeded to csup it to current status. I then used the ports system to install any additional stuff I wanted. Generally speaking it was a fairly positive experience in that by and large mostly everything Just Worked. Seeing the Flash support already installed and functioning in Firefox was surprising, to say the least. Since the install comes with KDE 4.3.5 and I want to upgrade it to 4.4.x I will be giving portupgrade another go around. I had used portupgrade to successfully update all ports once before and it worked as it normally would on a regular (non PCBSD) install of Freebsd. FWIW, by not installing anything (except the base install which includes KDE,etc) using the PCBSD software installer utilizing the normal methods of installing with the ports system and maintenance with portupgrade seems to work just as it would on a normal FreeBSD install. When I get adventurous I'll see how it does with the KDE 4.4.x upgrade one of these days. Have been waiting for the dust to settle there. As to why your bootonly or LiveCD CD's have problems booting, that is probably a separate issue.

Next I will pull over the stable-cvsup stuff and see if I can fire off a build. hope this works. the kybd is hard to use.

On second try the over the network install worked. I had previously downloaded the PCBSD DVD .iso, but no matter what I tried I could not get it to burn to DVD correctly. ___ 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
Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and windows client ?

Recent versions of Windows let you define a network location that is an FTP server, and it works well enough to show the files in a pseudo-folder and drag them back and forth to local folders. On Windows, it's a poorly documented option under map network drive. Or real men run COMMAND.CMO and run FTP from the command line. Only if you haven't updated in 10+ years and can't type. WinNT flavors are cmd.exe And command.cmo won't run.

md5(1) and cal(1)
1. Why doesn't cal(1) hilight the current day? Hell, some days I'm not even sure what day or week it is, so after typing 'cal', I have to type in 'date', and then sit there for a few seconds to interpret what I'm looking at. Of course, that isn't always successful, so I typically end up reaching for my mouse and hilight the date manually. But after doing that I'm just as annoyed by not knowing the date as I'm annoyed by the behavior of the cal utility and the extra work I'm forced to do. 2. Why doesn't md5(1) have a check option? Seems to me requiring a manual inspection is error-prone at best, and makes scripting unecessarily complicated.

I use diff to check the output of md5 against a known string. For instance, if I have a known hash value in a file hash.txt, I might first get the md5 output into another file called hash2.txt: md5 -q hash2.txt . . . then diff the two files: diff hash.txt hash2.txt The thing that bothers me about diff is that, even though it's often described as a string comparison utility, it doesn't actually compare strings -- it compares files that *contain* strings. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpWuLPIUH3la.pgp Description: PGP signature

Mixing different versions of PHP extensions
Hello! I find that due to recent bumps in jpeg and png library versions I need to rebuild the gd extension of PHP 5.2 on a server which currently has php5-5.2.9 port and a lot of php5-extension-5.2.9 extension ports installed. In the past, when I've been in a situation like this, I have always rebuilt php itself and all the extensions, but frankly, it's quite a lot of work because of all the dependencies and so on. Is it possible to rebuild just the php52-gd extension to a newer version of php52-gd-5.2.13 and have it working with existing php5-5.2.9 and all the existing extensions, or would it be asking for trouble? -- Toomas Aas ___ 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
how to force end-of-line in man page source
I don't like the way some lines in the man page have the last word in the sentence broken in 2 and hyphenated. Is there some escape code I can put at the end of the line in the source code to suppress this? ___ 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
