The answer is: of course it's necessary! How else would you keep your ports and src trees up to date? The CVS repository and your src/ports trees are not the same thing. The repository is the source from which you can update your src/ports trees. The difference is that, if you're maintaining a local copy of the CVS repository, then you would update your ports and src trees from the local CVS repo using cvs instead of csup. Somehow, I don't think you meant to grab the CVS repo. Sounds to me like you used the cvs-supfile by mistake. You *really* need to read the documentation more carefully. Everything you've been asking about recently is already explained in the Handbook. the problem is that I have not found such a manual on the web, so how are regular updates in-STABLE?, just download everything from cvsup and ready?, will not have to do the same thing to convert releases in stable right?, because I mean regular updates. Your questions are not at all clear. Please be more precise about what you're asking. No one can help you if they can't even understand what it is you're asking for help with. Again, go back and read the Handbook sections on using csup, updating your src and ports trees, etc. No one is interested in repeating information that is already available in a complete and detailed form. -- Conrad J.

Checking for broken packages (as in linking)
No, I don't mean checking for broken ports :-P In fact, when I Google around for the answer to my question, that's all I can find, which is why I bring my question to the mailing list instead :) Maybe broken ports or broken packages isn't the right term (what should I be searching for instead?) What I want to know is, are there tools that will check the ports I've installed and tell me if any of my packages are linked against libraries that are no longer there? I'm paranoid that at some point, while I'm building and installing updates, I'm going to break something. I've been using FreeBSD for a little while now, but I'm still learning... :) Thanks in advance!

GUI tool from several years ago...
do any of you remember the name of the port that set up a GUI square or rectangle and allowed easy expansion of code underneath? it let you do-GUI-framework-quick-and-easy. my key-click program is close enough that i want to move on to the part where the mute or speech-impaired user clicks on this GUI rectangle. let's say he clicks on the default talk.0; the app instantly brings up vim or gvim that is loaded with ~130 abbrevs. the user types, say, hw r u gys? into the talk.0 file. after he types :x, thed program forks espeak -f talk.0 and everyone around hears his computerized voice. meanwhile, the gui app moves talk.0 to ~/.Speak, say, and spawns gvim talk.1 in case anybody says something that requires further communication (and typing). this Speech/Speak tool is =not= for geeks. --ok. not necessarily! it is for anyone with a small, lightweight netpad/notepad like the EEE 900A. i've talked to a hacker who volunteers for the OLPC project. it has a membrane keyboard. a lot of the children find this hard to type on, so an audible click -- loud or soft -- might be a major win. Thus, having the easy-devel tool to create GUI apps would be a big help. i found it maybe 15 years ago, played with it for an hour or two before going back to the Xlib files I was teaching myself. --I could always use Xaw3d or something else that i'm familiar with, but would rather find an easier way. i've been searching thru ports. so far, nothing. thanks for any clues! gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community. ___ 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: OpenVPN - what configuration do I need/want
From: Ryan Coleman edi...@d3photography.com To: FreeBSD Questions freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Friday, November 4, 2011 10:22 AM Subject: OpenVPN - what configuration do I need/want I have a PE 2450 with dual NICs and I want to turn it into a bridging VPN for the guys in the office to utilize. Our configuration: My office: 192.168.46.0/24 Server IPs: 192.168.46.2 [8.2-RELEASE] + public IP Corporate office: 192.168.45.0/24 My VPN: 192.168.47.0/24 [preferred] There's a NetVanta VPN between my office and the corporate office and I presume that will still work to route 47.0/24 to 45.0/24 when all is said and done. I am going to be supporting Windows and Mac clients (well, all windows and then my mac) and I'd like to test it from my 8.2 server at home before pushing this over to my MacBook Pro (using Tunnelblick) and then to my Windows users. I've tried the FreeBSD handbook and the Section6.net walkthroughs to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan ___ 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 I can't say that I'm familiar with your setup which uses bridging. But I setup OpenVPN to work on a server inside my LAN which is behind my FreeBSD firewall server. The setup wasn't that hard, you just have to forward the right ports and get the certificates copied to the clients correctly. The docs on the OpenVPN site were very helpful in this for me. The trouble you may find is that this other VPN appliance you reference, NetVanta, may or may not be compatible with OpenVPN. I tried this several years ago with a remote company I was working for and found out quite dissappointingly that the protocol used by OpenVPN would not work whatsoever with Cisco equipment. That may have changed now but at the time all the advice I got was forget about it. Cisco equipment would not work with OpenVPN period. Luckily at the time I had a small Cisco appliance at my house and that is the only way I could get that setup to work. These days I happily connect to my LAN with encrypted tunnels from most places like hotels, etc... There is a problem sometimes at places like Starbucks or McDonalds where they have equipment which is blocking ports needed to run VPN. And in most cases it's not that they are blocking specific ports, it's that they are blocking everything except port 80 to only let their freebie users surf web content. YMMVcheck the docs on the OpenVPN site.

recursive copy with spaces in descendants
I'm having difficulty copying a directory tree from my FreeBSD server to USB storage. The problem is that the tree contains file and folder names which have spaces, similar to the following: ./foo bar/some name.tar.gz ./foo bar/child dir/some other name.tar.gz I've tried various combinations of cp with enclosing the top level directory in quotations, along with other commands like tar or xargs to no avail. The problem seems to be with creating the destination directories and folders, where mkdir/cp terminates with an invalid argument response. Cleaning up the source filenames using something like detox isn't viable, as the files are being served by transmission-daemon, and as such the names must be preserved. Permissions are not an issue either, as the same responses occur whether I use a standard or root account. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, since I'm pretty much out of them at this point. ___ 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: recursive copy with spaces in descendants
The tar one-liner is similar what I used to use on Gentoo and Arch linux, so I thought it strange that it isn't working here. I'm still having problems though, since the command returns Can't create '$FILENAME' for all files found. I quick tested by telling the tar command to copy to /tmp instead, and it worked fine. Copying a few test files created with ee transfer to /mnt/usb fine as well. I'm thinking there may be some characters (or even name length) that are causing the problem. Are there restrictions on filename characters/length on drives mounted with msdosfs?

zfs file names (inodes) without files (ENOENT)
Hi! A. SUMMARY Long story short: I have a file name on my zfs without a file to it. ls will include it in the dir content, but stat-ing that file will result in an ENOENT error: No such file or directory. B. HISTORY So how did I come to this situation? I've recently had to kill the sending side of an rsync, with the receiving side on FreeBSD. For reasons yet unknown, the next run of rsync started deleting stuff it shouldn't. Details on this are in PR 162318 [1], but quoting the most important things: Logging into the receiving FreeBSD as root, I found that large parts of the user's home directory content had disappeared, even outside the subdirectory used as the rsync destination! - All the .* config files in the home directory were gone - The .ssh directory was still present, but its content was gone as well - Both the home dir and the .ssh subdir contained a file rsync.%stat, which should be the name of an extattr instead, used to implement the rsync --fake-super command line option. [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162318 C. SYMPTOMS I first assumed a problem in the binary rsync build for FreeBSD, but devs on the above bug report favored RAM failure or an upstream source code bug. So I gave it another try, and payed closer attention to the error messages. Among them was the following: rsync: stat /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates failed: No such file or directory (2) Strange thing is, this isn't specific to rsync at all, it can be reproduced using simple command line tools like ls: # ls /home/name/backup/etc/ | grep ca-cert ca-certificates ca-certificates.conf ca-certificates.conf~ # ls /home/name/backup/etc/ca-* ls: /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates: No such file or directory /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates.conf /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates.conf~ So as you see, the name is returned by readdir(3), where both ls for the dir and the wildcard expansion find it. But anything that stat(2)s the file will encounter an ENOENT error. zpool status says everything's fine, so zfs isn't aware of any corruption. I believe that no matter what errors user space programs might make, the kernel zfs driver should never allow the above to happen. Either a file is there, or it isn't, there should be no such mixture. So what do you think, is this likely to be a bug in the zfs implementation? I found one other person describing problems like this: in threads titled file lose inode in Memory-Based file system., lisen1001 described pretty much the same thing, except on ramdisk on 8.2 instead of my own hdd-based raidz on 9.0-RC1 [2,3]. [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.questions/280183 [3] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.file-systems/13153 D. NEXT STEPS As I'm new to FreeBSD, I'm not yet sure how bug reports are handled around here. As I said, I've reported a bug report against rsync, and it has been closed on the grounds that this appears to be an upstream problem. Would it make sense to include the above information in the bug report for reference? Would replying to the gnats address be enough to accomplish that? Should the bug be reopened, as I assume all my problems to be related, and as the zfs corruption at least is specific to FreeBSD? If so, how does one reopen a report? Or who can do that? Do you agree that this looks like a problem in the ZFS implementation? Should I file a new problem report for that? Can you suggest any way I could resolve the corruption on my local ZFS pool, short of destroying and recreating the whole file system? rm for the file doesn't work, as it, too, encounters the ENOENT. Is there any tool to check or rebuild the inode data structures of zfs? zpool scrub doesn't seem to fit the bill, as its manpage indicates a computation of file content checksums.

However, you would be well advised to run ntpd(8) rather than bodging the clock with ntpdate at intervals. ntpdate is deprecated by the ntp project, given that ntpd now has the capability to synch the clock the first time after restart no matter what the offset. Just add these rc.conf settings: ntpd_enable=YES ntpd_sync_on_start=YES Thanks again, this works without any problems.

Re: recursive copy with spaces in descendants
On a hunch, I gave the following a shot: tar -cvlf - '/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/Downloads'/ | split -a 2 -b 3900m - /mnt/usb/TX_DL.tar. which created a split tar archive of the files on /mnt/usb. I'm still thinking there's something with the source path/file names that the msdosfs driver on BSD doesn't like, but at least this way is usable for the intended scenario. I guess I'll call this solved unless you all have some insight as to why the original method wasn't working.

Did I just miss it?. IMO the necessary synchronization should just be built in to booting. AFAIK it's not in the Handbook yet. The problem is that some network interfaces actually take a while to come up after ifconfig is done setting them up. The amount of time taken could depend on the local network with autonegotiation and such. Another approach is to set up the DHCP server--if there is one--to assign static addresses based on MAC address. ___ 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

But I setup OpenVPN to work on a server inside my LAN which is behind my FreeBSD firewall server. The setup wasn't that hard, you just have to forward the right ports and get the certificates copied to the clients correctly. The docs on the OpenVPN site were very helpful in this for me. The trouble you may find is that this other VPN appliance you reference, NetVanta, may or may not be compatible with OpenVPN. I tried this several years ago with a remote company I was working for and found out quite dissappointingly that the protocol used by OpenVPN would not work whatsoever with Cisco equipment. That may have changed now but at the time all the advice I got was forget about it. Cisco equipment would not work with OpenVPN period. Luckily at the time I had a small Cisco appliance at my house and that is the only way I could get that setup to work. These days I happily connect to my LAN with encrypted tunnels from most places like hotels, etc... There is a problem sometimes at places like Starbucks or McDonalds where they have equipment which is blocking ports needed to run VPN. And in most cases it's not that they are blocking specific ports, it's that they are blocking everything except port 80 to only let their freebie users surf web content. YMMVcheck the docs on the OpenVPN site.

I've finally got a combination of suggested configurations that get me to where I want to be (using ntpd, ntpdate, and netwait). However, I've found that I still need ntpdate_enable=YES rather than ntpd_sync_on_start=YES. The reason for this is that I'm running at securelevel 3, and ntpd takes too long to get up, running, and sync the clock. By the time it tries to adjust the clock, secure level has already been raised preventing the adjustment. Is there a way to make securelevel wait until ntpd has made its adjustments? When I use ntpdate at this point, it seems like the init scripts are sequential, and it waits until ntpdate is done before continuing and later raising securelevel. It seems that even though ntpdate is deprecated that it is still required if you want to run securelevel 3. ___ 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
