Re: Upgrading the Installed package

OK, but let's do that by telling him what he's getting into, not vague gestures at overblown half-truths. - Ruby is not included in the base system; you have to install it from ports (read: just another thing to have to maintain...) My workstation has about 800 ports installed. A relatively lean server has 300. 1 more is so deep in the noise, you can't hardly measure it, much less see it. ports base system: - C-based, and includes all of the pkg_* utilities. Nearly every FreeBSD user/administrator is familiar with these tools. Can't upgrade things. Show me how I use pkg_* to upgrade a package (let's say, gtk), and have all the metadata set right afterward. Requires either stupid amounts of manual work, or a lot of scripting (I upgrade perl. How do I rebuild p5-*?). portupgrade: - Maintains its own database of ports installed, dependencies, and so on -- COMPLETELY separate from that of the ports base system. Which is just a cache of the existing files, and can be blown away at any time with no consequences other than a minute or two remaking them. - Said database must be kept in sync with ports base system dependencies and other whatnots; and if they go out of sync Which it rebuilds when it notices is out of date. The only time I've had problems out of it in years of using portupgrade is when I do something like update BDB (or less often, portupgrade or ruby-bdb). Whoopie. Consider the recent case involving sudo and portmaster; when you use a tool to update a low-level piece of itself, you have to take some care how you go about it. - Said database is Berkeley DB-based, which means you have to install Oracle/Sleepycat BDB from ports. (I believe you can pick DB1.x which comes with libc, but it's not recommended due to bugs). So now we're up to 4 ports to install? If you can make that my biggest worry, I'll sent you a ginormous certified check first thing in the morning. There are a lot of things to hate in portupgrade, but let's don't pile handwaving anthills into mountains on top of that. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don't be told. Do the math. 320,000,000,000 bytes (hard drive manufacturer 'gigabytes'), divided by 1024 gives 312,500,000 kbytes, divided by 1024 gives 305,175.8 mbytes, divided by 1024 gives 298.023 gbytes according to a quick dc(1). -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The symptom:a user who doesn't currently own /dev/tty attempts to open an outbound SSH session and gets a permission denied error with an error message along the lines of Host key verification failed.

Re: /dev/tty keeps changing permissions..?
On Mon, Jun 09, 2003 at 09:59:18AM -0700 I heard the voice of Thomas Park, and lo! it spake thus: By God, I see that you're right! This is what I've been telling you8-} I think the problem arises when I su into another account and try to ssh outbound. Which should arguably be possible without having to do arcane manipulations to the tty device, IMHO..? Well, it should be, yah. Here's what's happening (after a quick foray into the source): In the routine (readpassphrase(), readpassphrase.c) where it reads in a password, it tries to open() /dev/tty, and if THAT fails, then use stdin/stdout: if ((input = output = open(_PATH_TTY, O_RDWR)) == -1) { if (flags RPP_REQUIRE_TTY) { errno = ENOTTY; return(NULL); } input = STDIN_FILENO; output = STDERR_FILENO; } So, if it can't open /dev/tty (which it can't), and the RPP_REQUIRE_TTY flag is set, then it returns NULL here. From what I can see, that gets passed up, so it ends up sending nothing as the password, which is why you see it looping a few times there like: debug1: Next authentication method: password debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive Permission denied, please try again. So, why is that flag set? Let's look upward: readpassphrase() is called from read_passphrase() (readpass.c), just to confuse you with naming. That sets the RPP_REQUIRE_TTY flag, unless IT is passed RP_ALLOW_STDIN. read_passphrase() is called in this case from userauth_passwd (sshconnect2.c), with the flags set to 0: password = read_passphrase(prompt, 0); So, according to my reading, if you change that '0' to 'RP_ALLOW_STDIN' there (line 458 in sshconnect2.c from the openssh-portable/ port, after 'make patch'), then make/make install it, you SHOULD be able to use that ssh(1) binary, and get out just fine, I think. You can probably patch it in the base source tree too (it's in src/crypto/openssh/), then 'make clean objdir all install' in src/secure/usr.bin/ssh/ to install it. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Signal-related kernel messages on threaded processes?
So, I'm working on a small threaded program here, and I get these: Mar 9 07:39:53 mortis kernel: failed to set signal flags properly for ast() Mar 9 07:39:53 mortis kernel: failed to set signal flags properly for ast() Mar 9 07:42:21 mortis last message repeated 3 times Mar 9 07:51:00 mortis last message repeated 26 times I _think_ (based on times) they're related to running the programs in gdb, though it's possible I got some when I was running it by itself. My system is: FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Jan 8 18:46:11 CST 2003 I've tracked it down to sys/kern/subr_trap.c:87, which looks like: if (SIGPENDING(p) ((p-p_sflag PS_NEEDSIGCHK) == 0 || (td-td_kse-ke_flags KEF_ASTPENDING) == 0)) printf(failed to set signal flags properly for ast()\n); inside #ifdef INVARIANTS, but that starts to lose me in details of housekeeping structs for procs/threads. This _is_ just using libc_r, not libkse, so the KSE tests wouldn't apply, right? What should I be doing in the program that I'm not to avoid that message? Or does it actually not really mean anything for my process, and is all kernel-related? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Automatically include debug symbols?
[ trim the cc's ] On Mon, Feb 10, 2003 at 05:30:24PM +1030 I heard the voice of Greg 'groggy' Lehey, and lo! it spake thus: As you see, this is in the kernel build directory. There's no point in actually installing it into /boot.

Re: Dump/Restore to disk and tape

Is there some way to move a dump file to a set of tapes, without having to do the dump from the original filesystem? Have you tried symlinking dump.0.2002-10-10 to /dev/stdout, and then doing the | restore? Kinda a twisted way of doing it, but it may work. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Manage, centralize and backup configuration files

Rsync is a good idea if you want your files backed up on a separate server. CVS is a bit inflexible with directories, so I prefer RCS. Eh? CVS is a *LOT* more flexible with directories. I keep all my configs in one central repository, which I co on different machines using CVS-over-[rs]sh. Then I just have a set of Makefiles in the CVS tree to install the configs to the system directories.
