Re: POP3 with Web Interface Email Application
Fawaz said: We are a small company, and we have a POP3 Email server that is running by iPlanet. I need to to build a web interface so I can check the email by a browser. Since that iPlanet thing was provided by some 3rd party company, which is not able to setup an application that fits our need, I thought of building a server, and installing some application on that server to pull the messages from the POP3 account, and publish it by Apache -as an example. Any idea? Thanking you in advance In the FreeBSD ports tree, you have a couple options: o /usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail this requires IMAP, which is much better than POP3 anyhow. I use squirrelmail on my server. In fact, I'm writing this message through the squirrelmail interface right now. o /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail this is a great program with a fast, tiny interface. o /usr/ports/mail/imp3 imp is part of the Horde system. It's a very powerful, very full-featured mail system, which can use an IMAP backend. It's a bloated behemoth, but if you're looking for features, this one's great. A bitch to configure under certain circumstances. o /usr/ports/mail/omail omail requries qmail, and I thus haven't used it. However, people who have often swear by it. Poke around at the webpages for each app, and see which one you like best. # Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

It's just semantics, really.
I'm not sure what that means. No, seriously, my dictionary says study
or science of the meaning of language forms, but does that include the
meaning of single words or only about the meaning imparted by sentence
structure, or something else?
monkey@smacky:~% dict semantic
- From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:
semantic
adj : of or relating to the study of meaning and changes of
meaning; semantic analysis
Domain means something like a set of nodes in the DNS tree
structure, where nodes have associated info about hosts and domains.
monkey@smacky:~% dict domain
- From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02) [foldoc]:
domain
2. networking A group of computers whose {hostnames} share a
common suffix, the domain name. The last component of this
is the {top-level domain}.
Hostname sometimes seems to mean the string returned by the hostname
command/function (being distinguished from hostname aliases), but I
think it's fair in the DNS context to use a domain name which has an
assigned IP. (In the DNS, host doesn't mean computer, of course.
Hosts are whatever have assigned IP addresses, except maybe networks.
Does DNS even know about networks? I can't think why it should.)
monkey@smacky:~% dict hostname
- From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02) [foldoc]:
hostname
1. (Or sitename). The unique name by which a computer is
known on a {network}, used to identify it in {electronic
mail}, {Usenet} {news}, or other forms of electronic
information interchange.
On {Internet} the hostname is an {ASCII} string,
e.g. foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk which, consists of a local part
(foldoc) and a {domain} name (doc.ic.ac.uk).
Let's say you have names fubar.org, alpha.fubar.org, and
beta.fubar.org. There's no A RR for fubar.org, but
alpha.fubar.org resolves to 1.2.3.4, and beta.fubar.org resolves
to 1.2.3.5. What is what here?
They are all domain names and, except for fubar.org, hostnames.
(No host, no hostname.)
No. Only fubar.org is a domain name. The others are hostnames. A
domain name is just a name, but a hostname is a label applied to
something that exists. Every domain name can be a hostname if a computer
responds to that name.
Let's say you have names fubar.org, alpha.fubar.org, and
beta.fubar.org. All three names resolve to 1.2.3.4. What is what
here?
All are domain names and all are hostnames.
Again, no.

Looks like using Java is the only way to go and that means getting my feet wet in the Java world. Take 2 steps to the right, and then go about 40 steps back, and just put a mime handler into your browser for audio/mpeg or audio/x-mpeg or whatever. What you're trying to do is, well, impressive, but overkill. Which browser are you using? Is there a Java function like: local.exec(string) that I could use to point one of my mp3 players at a streaming site? I really really really really hope not, else the fact that nobody has exploited the local.exec(rm -R ~/) bug yet is a miracle ::) In general, applets cannot exec or fork, just call other local applets, unless I'm wrong. In which case the last sentence should be ignored. PS: There are many non-web ways of doing this, I realize... . Sounds like you're just asking to make xmms open when you click on an mp3 file.

Still being decided is what the variables will be called (COMMENT? PORTCOMMENT? SPORK?), where they will appear officially (I put it in right after MAINTAINER... I've since heard that it should have gone in after *_DEPENDS, and I've also heard that it should go in after all the USE_* varbs), and most importantly, the functionality isn't all there yet. For example: currently, a PORTCOMMENT line cannot contain any apostraphes; unbalanced quotation marks, brackets, or parenthesis; or 2 plus signs in a row (C++, anyone?). All this is currently under review and will be decided once it is no longer under review and has been decided. At that point, then would be a good time to bust out with a PR.

- -Adam
Thanks Adam,
that worked. How do you learn about something like that?
Simple answer: read the porter's handbook.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
More explanatory answer:
Hopefully it'll help explain a good ports diagnostic process...
- From the log you gave, installing eterm made you build a dependency
which was already installed. If you build x, but the ports system
installs y, then y is a dependency of x. Part of the ports build is a
list of things that are required to make the port work. The eterm
Makefile has a list of libraries that eterm needs:
LIB_DEPENDS=Imlib2.1:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/imlib2 \
ast.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libast
ast.1 means look for the library libast.so.2. eterm also looks for
libImlib2.so.1. Get it?
Now, your log showed that your system built libast but it was already
installed. Here's a little diagram:
Build eterm - Port needs libast.so.1 - It doesn't exist - Install
libast - It's already installed - Barf.
So, there can only be one of two problems: either libast.so.1 DOES exist
and it's not being found (a transient linker error cuz you mucked with
/etc/make.conf or ldd), or the more likely possibility: libast.so.1
doesn't exist.
% monkey@smacky:~% pkg_info -L libast\*|grep \.so
/usr/X11R6/include/libast/socket.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so.2
or:
% monkey@smacky:~% grep \.so /usr/ports/devel/libast/pkg-plist
include/libast/socket.h
lib/libast.so
lib/libast.so.2
There's the problem: libast.so is up to version 2. Fix what eterm is
looking for, and it'll stop digging in the wrong holes.
Summary:
If a port tries to install a package that's already installed, it's
looking for a wrong library version number, or a file that doesn't
exist. This usually happens because something is out of date. Find what
it's looking for, and find out what it SHOULD be looking for.

Am I missing something, or is it just a part of upgrading that you must decide, file by file which will be modified or replaced? end of mergemaster question from David Banning Nope, you're not missing anything ::) Overwriting system binaries and libraries is the easy part. You don't want an installer overwriting your files in /etc... that's where all the things that make your system what it is live.

Unless you've modified lots of stuff, it's perfectly fine to let mergemaster overwrite nearly everything. But it's worth paying attention to: one of the things you'll be needing to merge is /etc/master.passwd. If you let mergemaster overwrite it, you'll lose your users. Also keep in mind that the more time between upgrades, the more files have to be overwritten.

Anybody else have terms they'd prefer the manual use in both the SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION? how about ln [-fhinsv] link_to [link_from] -Adam -- Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. -Lilo, Lilo Stitch Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Safe Use of cvsup
(10.08.2002 @ 1220 PST): Martin McCormick said, in 0.8K: If one uses an incorrect tag in cvsup, it tends to destroy the /usr/src tree, a sort of make zapworld. Would there be anything wrong with backing up the /usr/src directory to a tar file before running cvsup so that if the worst happens, one can restore the directory to what it was before the mishap? if you toast the /usr/src directory by a bad tag in the cvsup file, putting in the correct tag and rerunning cvsup will correct the problem. i don't see much use in backing up something that is available from any number of readily available sites. -Adam -- Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. -Lilo, Lilo Stitch Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
