Re: ANNOUNCE: Custom 64bit FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE with XFCE packages released
Dear Antonio, I thing you've messed things up a little bit. The distribution is for XFCE and of cource you have to use xdm instead of gdm. Installing gdm in your system also installs much of GNOME as you can see by running cd /usr/ports/x11/gdm make all-depends-list By looking carefully in this list you will find out that you install many ports of GNOME, like: /usr/ports/misc/gnome-mime-data /usr/ports/textproc/gnome-doc-utils /usr/ports/devel/gconf2 /usr/ports/x11/gnome-desktop /usr/ports/x11/gnome-menus /usr/ports/x11/gnome-panel /usr/ports/devel/gnome-vfs /usr/ports/x11/libgnome /usr/ports/x11/gnome-session /usr/ports/security/gnome-keyring ... (there are many many many more!) There is nothing wrong with the distribution. If you exactly do what the README file says you are goiing to have a valid system running XFCE. If you try to add gdm then you also install much of GNOME also, so you'll not have an XFCE-only system.

Re: Anti virus, anti spam step guide.
Anti-virus, the only free one I know about is calm av. Should work on FreeBSD: http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/ and /usr/ports/security/clamav spamd is a black/white list spam filter. I also heard SpamAssassin is good, but can't find it in ports. For mail I like Courier-imap. It's imap, has ssl and has lots of ways to auth (I just auth with pamd which is a normal system account). qmail is also popular, though I don't have much experience with it. sendmail/pop3 also works. squirrel mail is a popular webmail program: /usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail Also, I've never used it; but webmin might be good if you want them to maintain use accounts themselves: /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin On 8/4/2010 9:19 AM, Jorge Biquez wrote: Hello all.

I need to help some non-profit organizations that received some 2 year old computers as donation and they will use it for email services. They have not tech people, so the idea is that I can help them to implement that solution the easiest way so maybe one of the teacher there can try to replicate the solution. UNtil now I always have used Sendmail as it is installed, no filters besided the spamcop ones but that was enough for my personal use.

I ca do it for sur and I do not want to star a war , again, under what MTA is the best. I just would like to have the best and easiest solution for them. Once installed they only will be creating new accounts, changing paswords, deleting accounts. Nothing else.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd
Oliver, One last observation I have made regarding this bundle installer. The reason for all the size calculations is that the installer and code are offset a specific bytes within the file. Even if I correct the shell calls the file size will change and the code will not be extracted correctly. However, I can open the file and find exactly where the code is located, extract it and place it in the location where the shell script would place and see if it will run from there. This is a longshot but the fact is shell scripts automate what can be manually performed. But, using vi will be tedious. Gedit will not open the file. Are there any other very forgiving editors that will make it easier to edit this file? Thanks again.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd
Oliver, One more time. I should have included this in my last Email. Instead of using the exact offset into the file and dd is there a way to insert a text tag such as codeStartHere_1 in the script then find this location by a search and then extract beginning at this location +1 and extracting to codeStopsHere_1 -1, or by the number of bytes.

Not much, probably none at all. Some people even say that Linux binaries run faster on FreeBSD than they run on Linux, because they benefit from the better network code and VM system. Anyway, the linuxulator isn't really an emulator, it's rather an ABI-level compatibility layer, very similar to the i386 (32bit) compatibility layer on FreeBSD/amd64 (64bit).

chs,
Looks the same to me. A message went out on freebsd-ports@ that the port
is broken and will be fixed in a couple of days:
Greetings,
the devel/mercurial port is currently broken, and we've decided to wait
two days before committing behind the maintainer's back.
If you urgently need Mercurial 1.6.2, grab the port from:
http://home.pages.de/~mandree/freebsd/ports_devel_mercurial-1.6.2.tar.gz
Note that your downloader needs to follow redirects. For curl, use the -L
option.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd
Thanks Oliver I can just get the i386 vmware version and should install and run. Last question is there a x86_64 bit Linux module? Is one I'm development?

I am attaching the bash output from the shell script. This script implements RPMs so I am sure that I need the linux module. I had previously found a guide on how to install RPMs on FreeBSD.

I previously had made the stat change to the shell script and that part works. But, the bash shell is reporting an 'od error. Finally, how much performance do you lose with the linux module emulator? Not much, probably none at all. Some people even say that Linux binaries run faster on FreeBSD than they run on Linux, because they benefit from the better network code and VM system.

Re: TEKEN_UTF8 TEKEN_XTERM
On 08/05/10 01:10, David DEMELIER wrote: I think using xterm as term definition is just stupid. If you're not running X why will you use a term that live in X normally? By the way it also sucks if you make some $TERM settings considering your shell. The point of these options (TEKEN_UTF8 and TEKEN_XTERM) is to enable an internally Unicode based terminal and from there have characters mapped according to font files. With standard hardware you can have 256 or 512 text mode characters. Unless you have a real terminal on a serial port the term at your console is emulated with your video card and keyboard. xterm I believe is a more advanced terminal definition with a large number of additional capabilities over a simple vt100 terminal. So we can try to use what exists now xterm or we can create yet another terminal definition. Once the above works the next step would be to extend the terminal driver to use graphics modes and with modern accelerated cards it should be trivial to achieve the same speed we are use to with text mode. Some people were playing around with this years ago but so far I haven't found anything new. And while English is my native language I welcome the evolution of new international capabilities. What can I say, I'm a fan of text mode.

SSH can create a tunnel itself. You could use something like: 'ssh -L 2200:loc2:22 u...@site2' This would connect you to a shell on site2. Then on your machine open another terminal and type: 'ssh -p 2200 u...@localhost' which would connect to loc2 port 22 using the connection on site2. If you try to close the connection to site2, it won't work since you're still connected to loc2. ssh also supports forwarding a port on the remote server using -R, but I'm led to believe you are trying to limit the connections that get through the site2 to loc2 and -L requires you (or someone else) to be on local system.

pkg_add on dialup: resume?
Hello, I'm transitioning to FreeBSD on my box for several reasons. However, I'm on dialup. pkg_add doesn't seem to be able to resume since I can't use the phone line (or the computer) long enough to install packages all in one go. Is there a solution to this? Second, update-freebsd (binary updates) also don't seem to resume. --- I understand that if I go with building from source (both for security updates and for third-party apps) the there is a resume function with that.

Is there a solution to this? There might be a more elegant solution but this is what I would say offhand. All pkg_add is doing is downloading the package from the freebsd ftp. It's just doing the behind the scenes stuff of picking which package is right for your system. So you could just use an ftp client with resume and go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ and find the packages you want and que them up in your ftp client. Then just do pkg_add /path/to/package when you've finished downloading them. If you don't use packages I think you can also setup resume if you're doing the make install method. Find an ftp client you want to use and change from using fetch to download source. This post describes setting up an ftp client to download using multiple connections but you should be able to adapt it for your needs. http://scratching.psybermonkey.net/2009/09/freebsd-download-ports-simultaneously.html I understand that if I go with building from source (both for security updates and for third-party apps) the there is a resume function with that. True? I was hoping to avoid the build-time, and I think it takes longer to download source than binary. If you have an old FreeBSD ISO/CD laying around or someone you know has one you could install whatever version of the source you have. The handbook describes methods you can use to update your source where you only need to download what's different (this also means you don't need to download the source all at once).This should limit how much you have to download if you have a fairly recent version of FreeBSD and it will be pretty easy to then keep updated with minimal downloads in the future. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html ___ 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
