Help with setting up a mail server
I am a consultant and was retained by my client to setup qmail or exim on a VPS running 8.0-STABLE (i386). After setting up the DNS (A record and MX record) we have been unable to send or receive mail. The client has/had a working script for installing qmail on 7.1-STABLE but it seems to not work on 8.0-STABLE. They are using the same VPS provider who this 7.1-STABLE install script worked under.

The Postfix forum will be glad to give you any advice you need for setting up and securing your mail server. Qmail is no longer supported by its author and can be a nightmare to maintain. We had also tried sendmail and couldn't get that working either so I suspect it is a general config issue not a MTA one.

Perhaps something like this will help:
find /dir -type f | \
grep -v `cat excludelist` | \
xargs rm

Note quite since it will see every file after the first as a file to be

Re: what character is a physical newline
Just incase you guys are curious the reason for doing the parser from
scratch is it is designed to lex/parse families of languages not just a
single lang for example (there is very large overlap between
c/c++/java/c#/etc. as there is in the tag langs like XML/HTML)... also
generators produce unreadable code (and impossible to hand modify if
you're not quite happy with the generated code) thus I refer to the
design as a heiractical recursive decent parser (i.e. it lexs/parses the
commonalties of a family [or set of families {all ascii vs, unicode
langs for example are a set of families} before it attempts to handle
the actual lang [or family in the case of set of families]).

My guess for what you need is xrandr, to which I'm not very well versed. It seems to be the answer when it comes to video output layout, size, orientation... swiss army knife.

Re: requesting 'QA' assistance

I was wondering what the preferred method of requesting users take a peek at it and tell me what they think/want. Normally I would agree with everyone that says to ask on -ports@ but this fits extremely well with what is generally refered to as ports 2.0 (different names are used by different members of the loose community working on it, I have CC'ed everyone else so you know who they are). The actual software would go under ports-mgmt, and has the main functionality intended. The actuall set of programs is called 'virtual ports', and it allows a keyword and virtual directory indexing of the ports tree. The goal is to allow people to play around with different designs of the ports tree without having to change the system ports tree - preventing breakage in programs, and giving both the users and maintainers of the ports tree more flexibility in organization. I don't know if this fits 100% what Ale calls virtual ports (see http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsToDo) but it very close to the image I have for them (we need to know more details of course). I am going to forward you some stuff so you can have a better idea of where the ports 2.0 are heading. Also keep in mind that at the very least I will likely want to look at your stuff in extreme detail because something like this is a natural extension of the SoC project I am awaiting approval on.

For similar reasons as why you can run an Intel OS (i386) on an AMD CPU. AMD64 (aka x86-64) refers to AMD's 64-bit extension to the x86 architecture. Most (all?) of Intel's recent x86 CPUs also implement this extension. When I first started exploring the issue with my new (about 6 months old now) machine (e6850 3GHz dual core intel w/ 4 GB RAM) the rule of thumb I learned was if you have 2GB of RAM i386 if more then AMD64. Sure you can use PAE on i386 but it is really a workaround. Now there are about 10% of the ports out there that will not run on AMD64 with the most important everyday one being the nvidia driver for xorg (note though contrary to the man page nv does support the max resolution of your card/monitor [well almost I ca get 1400x1050 but not 1600x1050 on my 8400GS and 21 wide screen]).

Re: formatting disk for FreeBSD : Detecting IDE Primary Master ... [Press F4 to skip]

I'm pretty sure this isn't a matter of what bits and bytes are on your hard disk. (It's not an issue of formatting.) Someone correct me if I'm wrong someone. It seems that the issue is a hardware issue. For example, try a different jumper configuration on the back of the physical hard drive. Also, there are probably two places on the IDE cable where you can plug in your hard drive. Try plugging your hard drive to the very end IDE connector (not the middle one) and try setting the hard drive jumper configuration to master. This might help. Just an idea. A couple of other thoughts. In the BIOS settings you can probably set the order of devices it will try to boot from. Set your hard drive as the first device, or at least make sure it's in the list of devices to boot. Once you get the BIOS to recognize your drive and try to boot from it, if it still ain't booting it probably means that you didn't write anything to the hard disk MBR during install. You didn't install a boot manager or a simple boot program into the MBR. If you failed to do this it should give an error message about there being no OS - -- Aryeh M.

Friedman FloSoft Systems, Java Tool Developers Developer, not business, friendly http://www.flosoft-systems.com I might be wrong, but NO_CLEAN seems like a bad idea except in special circumstances. Install ccache, but make sure you set CCACHE_HASH_COMPILER environment variable to 1. That will make sure that the cache stays valid if the compiler executable is overwritten by an identical copy (as it would be on installworld). When the compiler changes the cache will be repopulated on the next rebuild. You are indeed wrong. NO_CLEAN will work fine almost all the time - except in special circumstances. The few times it does not work one can always do a 'make clean' by hand first. (Or even faster: 'rm -fr /usr/obj/*') If you set WRKDIRPREFIX to some useful value you can do the same thing for the ports tree. Personally I always compile with -DNO_CLEAN and use 'rm -fr' to clean. I have never had problems originating with this. ccache is not very useful for buildworld, since among the first thing buildworld does is to build the compiler and then use the newly built compiler to compile the rest. I.e. the already installed compiler (which is the one ccache will handle) will not be used for most of the build thus removing almost all the advantage of ccache. It is supposed to be possible to use ccache for buildworld as well, but that would require a bit of hackery. As for speeding up the build even more there a couple of things that can be tried: You can add NO_PROFILE=true to make.conf if you do not need profiling libraries. I thought most profiled libs had been removed in current but I will try this. I was also looking at NO_SHARED but my gut says this would cause a sigficant performence hit. Set CFLAGS/COPTFLAGS to -O instead of -O2. This should speed up the compiler a bit since it will no have to do as much work. This will make programs slightly less well optimized, but since the vast majority of the system binaries are not really CPU-bound anyway it is unlikely that any performance loss will be noticed. Do you have any numbers on this? If you have more than one CPU-core in your machine (and an SMP-enabled kernel) you can use the -j flag to tell make to run several jobs in parallell. Just be aware that building with -j does get broken occasionaly and there is no promise that it will always be fixed quickly. If you do run into problems when building with -j, try without -j before sending any bug reports. Since I like to run it in the background (i.e. while doing stuff on a different X screen) I usually don't use -j unless I am doing a bare metal install and then I typically do core*4+2 for it's value. - -- Aryeh M.
