The stuff in the dir used as a mount point will be hidden by the mount.

rmuser failed / cannot readd user
Hi readers! I am having problems with adding/removing user accounts. This seems to be related to a problem I was having yesterday (Subject: a monster stole my /), adding a user when / was at 108% capacity. I added a user called mrawebuser, which failed because there was not enough free space on / at the time. Now when I try to add the user again it says the user already exists when it doesn't. I have used rmuser to remove the account and also manually check /etc/passwd, /etc/ master.passwd, /etc/group - none of these files contain any reference to mrawebuser. If I repeat the rmuser command it will find the user every time. Basically I would like to start fresh, completely remove this user and any reference to the account then recreate it. intranet# adduser -v Username: mrawebuser Full name: MRA Web User Uid (Leave empty for default): Login group [mrawebuser]: Login group is mrawebuser.

Large Volumes - 2.2TB missing... expecting 3.4TB!
Hi Everyone, I have installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE amd64 on a new boxen... and just realized that I am missing just a 'little' bit of storage space ;) The raid array is as follows: 3ware 9650SE-8LPML Controller 1 x 76GB OS RAID 1 Array (2 x 80GB drives) 1 x 3.4TB DATA RAID 5 Array (6 x 700GB drives) In order for FreeBSD to even see the controller, I had to download the 3rd party drivers from the 3ware site and follow their instructions. The installation went very smoothly, I could clearly see the 1 x 76GB array the 3.4TB array, which I successfully partitioned and labeled in the FreeBSD setup. I was required to recompile the kernel post installation so that FreeBSD would continue to see the array. There seemed to be no issues during any of the installation/post installation compile. However now it appears that I am missing a fair bit of space... or it is not reading correctly, I don't know exactly. This is the first time I have worked with volumes this large, certainly in FreeBSD.

If anyone could provide some input as to where the rest has gone that would be greatly appreciated!

OK, in the FDISK Partition Editor da1 reads as 3576219MB. So that looks to be ok and around what I am expecting.

Re: FreeBSD vs mysql50-server [SOLVED]
Thanks for the replies guys. Turns out that the my.cnf file needed to be in either /db/mysql/ my.cnf (where i am pointing the datadir to) OR /usr/local/etc/my.cnf. I hit a problem when I moved it to either folder though because some of the variables for mysql were out and the default socket/pid-file directory was not created. * mkdir /var/run/mysqld and change owner to mysql (for socket pid- file) * change my.cnf language variable to /usr/local/share/mysql/english (was previously /usr/share/mysql/english and causing mysql to fail to start) * mkdir /etc/mysql/conf.d for additional settings, either that or comment out !includedir line in the my.cnf file, I decided to mkdir for fun times So there we go... only took a few days but nailed it ;) thanks to everyone who provided feedback... i hope this helps others out in the future.

proftpd vs PAM authentication
Hi everyone, I am relatively new to FreeBSD and have what I hope is a simple question regarding proftpd and PAM authentication. I have just installed proftpd via the available port, and after installation a message was returned saying: ### Make sure you have the following lines in your PAM configuration file so that ProFTPd's PAM module can authenticate users correctly. ftpd authrequiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass ftpd account requiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass ftpd session requiredpam_permit.so ### After reading into this I am confused as to where exactly I should be entering this information. According to the proftpd README file, in FreeBSD it likes to get this information from /etc/pam.conf, whereas LINUX looks in /etc/pam.d/ftp, and what topped it off for me is the / etc/pam.d/ftpd file. Where is the best place to have this configuration information; is it required considering there is already lines in /etc/pam.d/ftp; if required should I overwrite /etc/pam.d/ftp or append to the beginning/ end of the file? I hope there is enough information here for someone to help. Any help provided is greatly appreciated in advance ;) Regards, Hartleigh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The pam configuration for ftpd is in /etc/pam.d/ftpd and already contains the required entries. I should probably just remove it to avoid confusion.
