GSSAPI is kerberos related i believe, NTLM is a windows method from what i remember. I'm not familiar with either i'm afraid. Thanks for your suggestions, anyhow. It might very well be that something about the server's behaviour is awkward. fetchmail, which worked well with the old server, stopped working after the mailserver was changed to the current one. The settings were correct, but only after I installed a new version of fetchmail, it worked again. It looks like that I will have to use webmail for now.

RE: Sendmail as client via smarthost and ssl
GSSAPI is the Generic Security Services Application Program Interface and NTLM is NT Lan Manager -- they are both authentication systems popular amongst various generations of Microsoft OSes. GSSAPI is actually based on that old Unix stalwart: Kerberos, and hence is also fairly popular amongst non-Microsoft types. They are some of the authentication mechanisms that come as standard with SASL implementations. Unless you know that you do need them, you almost certainly don't. ... Thanks your for the explanation. I was actually not sure whether or not these options were needed. Authentication to the smarthost did not work, and at one point I noticed the line: ... 250-AUTH GSSAPI NTLM ... coming from the server. So I gave it a try - and it still did not work.

Sendmail as client via smarthost and ssl
To send email from my computer at work I need to send through a smarthost. In the past I had added the line: define(`SMART_HOST', `[smpt.ki.se]') to my mc file, plus some address rewriting for outgoing mail. This has worked for years. Now the mail system has changed and it requires some authentication, connection via ssl to a different server and via a different port (587). Since then I have not been able to get my computer to send email via the smarthost. Not knowing much about sendmail, I tried google and more or less blindly followed suggestions. Here is what I have done so far, but sending email still does not work: 1. recompiled sendmail with sasl by adding the following lines to /etc/make.conf + installing security/cyrus-sasl2 + recompiling sendmail: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 2. Adding the following line to my mc file (+ make all install restart): define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl dnl Set port define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `IPC $h 587') I also changed the smarthost to the new name: define(`SMART_HOST', `[send.ki.se]') 3. create the file /etc/mail/auth/client-info + run makemap hash client-info client-info: AuthInfo:[send.ki.se] I:LOGIN P:PASSWORD When trying to send email the returned email from the Mail Delivery Subsystem MAILER-DAEMON contains the following error message: - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - christopher.ill...@web.de (reason: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated) - Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to send.ki.se.: MAIL From:christopher.ill...@ki.se SIZE=473 AUTH= 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable In /var/log/maillog the following error messages appear: Oct 28 13:52:53 muck sm-mta[19110]: STARTTLS=client, relay=send.ki.se., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=AES128-SHA, bits=128/128 Oct 28 13:52:58 muck sm-mta[19110]: o9SBqqHs019108: to=christopher.ill...@web.de, ctladdr=ch...@muck.ks.se (1001/1001), delay=00:00:06, xdelay=00:00:06, mailer=relay, pri=30473, relay=send.ki.se.

Vkbd almost did the trick, but it's intended to work from user mode. It occurred to me, after my post, that if your script need only work under X-windows, there are probably have more options for generating keyboard events. You could, for example, look at x11/padkey, particularly the doXKey() call. Best regards, Tim. Thanks for thank hint. I looked a bit into vkbd now and I also came across your post from February 2007.

But you are still curious, aren't you?
Yes
AFAIK, there are two possible
explanations:
1) There _is_ a .login_conf.db file in the other user's homedir.
No
2) The other account pertains to a different login class than yours,
which already sets the desired locale and so masquerades the user's
settings being ignored. Dunno if a user can see his own login class. If
you have permissions, can use vipw to find out (if unfamiliar, take a
look to vipw(8) and passwd(5) manpages, notice the 'class' field).

Not that I can see. I 'chris' is my login, and 'bill' in another
account that does not have this problem:

I can't downgrade at all on the Linux box because the most recent version of the Nvidia driver that supports RenderAccel without crashing won't run on recent kernels. That's the main reason I'm shopping for replacements - my hardware isn't as usable as it was six months ago. I use an MX400 on FreeBSD with RenderAccel enabled. I had to disable AGP completely (neither NvAGP nor FreeBSD AGP worked), because I was seeing crashes (screen and keyboard are frozen, but mouse pointer moves - a common bug with FreeBSD/Linux according to the nvidia forum). Since I disabled AGP, I had no more crashes with my card, even with RenderAccel enabled.

Keymapping in X: xterm vs. rxvt
I have some problems with how some programs as sh or dc behave in aterm, but not xterm. About my system: ~%uname -a FreeBSD Klabautermann.ks.se 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #8: Thu Jun 30 21:18:02 CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM i386 With a Swedish keyboard: ~%cat /etc/rc.conf [...] keymap=swedish.iso [...] ~%cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf [...] Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout se Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys EndSection [...] ~%cat .login_conf [...] me:\ :charset=iso-8859-1:\ :lang=en_US.ISO8859-1 [...] The problem starts when I use any of rxvt/aterm/wterm with sh as their shell (e.g. aterm -e sh): In this case when I press SHIFT + 8, which should give me ( (= open parenthesis) on my keyboard, the shell executes a backspace. Also the backspace does not work, but apart from that all other keys, including special characters, seem to work fine. With xterm I do not see any of these problems at all. All other shells, csh, tcsh and zsh work fine with aterm. So far I could ignore all this and be happy using aterm with zsh, but when I now (aterm and zsh) use a program like dc or ficl, which require input, I again have SHIFT + 8 mapped to BACKSPACE not to (. Again, dc does not have this problem run in xterm. This behaviour seems to be inheritable, because when start xterm not directly from the window manager, but from aterm, both sh and dc have SHIFT + 8 mapped to a backspace-like action. I checked the $TERM variable, but that is always rxvt on aterm and xterm on xterm. BTW, bc and vi run fine under all conditions, i.e. ( is where it should be. So to conclude: There is something that sh, dc and ficl have in common concerning how they interpret keys under X that does not work together with aterm/rxvt/wterm, but runs fine with xterm. Then again, this behavior seems to be inheritable. Result: I am confused. Where is the problem? Is it my configuration, something with xorg, something with rxvt/aterm/wterm or something with sh/dc/...? How can I fix it, so that sh and dc will have the correct keyboard mapping also in aterm?

I'm particularly concerned because I'm dealing with a few systems which are rather well aged, and have gone through several upgrade cycles. I know the Linux version of the ports system found in Gentoo (portage) offers extensive functionality for finding and removing orphaned dependencies, so I'm hoping FreeBSD has some such feature as well. Thanks. Have a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_cutleaves. It is a script that detects and removes orphaned dependencies.

If you are using X and the problem is that you only see part of your desk top on the screen, but you can scroll with mouse to other parts of the desk top, then your 'virtual screen' is bigger than your actual screen.

Re: Typo in: cache-update (portindex) - hangs(?)
Thanks for your reply and sorry for the typo. Yes cache-init also took a couple of hours on my computer, but when it finished i got the command-promt back. But I am having problems with cache-update. I include the last paragraphs of my original post with the typo corrected: for upating the portstree I do: # cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile # cache-update # portindex -o /usr/ports/INDEX-5 (I am using 5-stable) # portsdb -u (I am also using portupgrade) # portupgrade -arR (or whatever) What happens if you add # make fetchindex immediately after the cvsup? I just tried it and it does not change the behaviour of cache-update. cache-update still shows a short burst of activity before it becomes idle, but does not return to the command promt. But if I understand it correctly, isn't the whole purpose of the portindex-suite to provide yet another mechamism to create an up to date INDEX(-5) file, but both being faster than 'make index' (portsdb -U) and more up to date than 'make fetchindex'? So wouldn't the 'make fetchindex' kind of defeat the purpose of using portindex? Sorry, for all the questions, I am still trying to figure this all this out for myself.

Re: Typo in: cache-update (portindex) - hangs(?)
The reason cache-update becomes idle is that it is waiting for input: specifically, it's waiting for something from which it can determine the latest changes to your /etc/ports hierarchy. (See the cache-update man page for more details.) In your case, you should just be able to pipe the output of the cvsup command into cache-update to achieve the desired effect. (You might need to use cache-update -f cvsup-output the tell it what kind of input format you're feeding it.) In other words, try something akin to this: cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile | cache-update -f cvsup-output I use the cvsup-checkouts input format when running cache-update. In other words, my cache-update command is as follows (I'm running -CURRENT): cache-update -f cvsup-checkouts -i /var/db/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:. (Note that the final . is significant.) Cache-update can also use the -f plain input format in conjunction with its find-updated command to look for changes made after a given date. See the find-updated man page for details. So, you have a lot of flexibility in how you can update the portindex cache. Thanks a lot for this explanation. Rereading the man page now I actually understand what it says. Maybe the cache-update man page, or indeed any of the portindex man pages would benefit from an examples section to make life easier for people like me... The way I understand FreeBSD works this means that I have to write it and then contact the maintainer to submit it?

cache-update (portindex) - hangs(?)
