I looked for include statements in GENERIC, but didn't find one. I use custom kernel config files and adapt most changes from the NOTES files in the sources tree. With the today's update of README in /sys/amd64/conf I realised some important changes, so this triggered my question. I simply made an additional include in the custom config file, but if this isn't necessary, I'll delete it again. And I'm interested in how the kernel is built from. It is a very convenient way to type simply make kerne in /usr/src/, but it vanishes to much of the complexity and understanding how the system builds and could cause problems. Thanks for your patience and tahnks in advance, Regards, Oliver From my understanding of things, the DEFAULTS kernel configuration file is automatically included into the build by config(8). There is no need to include it into the generic using the include statement. It was first added 6 years ago, on October 27 2005.

Compile a new kernel (past r224842), boot to that kernel and rebuild

Does this file actually exist if you extract the snapshot? And are the
permissions et cetera OK?

No, it does not.
What I did so far over night:
I deleted /var/db/portsnap as well as /usr/ports/. Then I tried again.
Again failure.
After that it got the ports tree via CVS (make update in /usr/ports).
Everything seems
all right. I tried portsnap again. portsnap compalins about a
non-portsnap-created /usr/ports
and please me to use 'extract'. I do ... but then I run into the very
same failure:
(portsnap fetch extract:)
/usr/ports/devel//
/usr/ports/devel/ccdoc/
/usr/ports/devel/ccrtp/
/usr/ports/devel/cdash/

not
found -- snapshot corrupt.
I've been looking at the portsnap shellscript. This error message is generated
by the shell's built-in test command, specifically '[ -r'. It is looking for a
file that was extracted with tar. So the place to look for the bug is IMO
1) the portsnap script itself (differences between 8.2 and 9?)
2) the sh(1)'s built-in test command (ditto)
3) tar (ditto)
When you run 'portsnap fetch' it downloads a tgz archive and unpacks it with
tar(1). What you could try is to comment out the line 'rm ${SNAPSHOTHASH}.tgz'
in portsnap, and test if the tgz file extracts differently using an
8.2-RELEASE tar and the 9-CURRENT tar. If so, that would be a bug!
Roland
Just a me too!. It happens for me on a recently updated 9-current
virtual machine, built with clang.

don-bsd# ./configure
don-bsd# make
don-bsd# make install

don-bsd# ./configure
Configuration script for Hobbit
This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit
Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
If it is available as gmake, run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'
don-bsd#

Help please, Thanks
Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
The thing that might be weird is that FreeBSD installs ports in
/usr/local/[bin,sbin] by default, you'll proably end up with hobbit in
/usr/[bin,sbin] if you don't install it from ports. See if you can
find a configure parameter to set the install directory to where you
want to install hobbit.

However, a 'make -D WITHOUT_X11' and a 'make WITHOUT_X11=1' both[1] result in X.org being downloaded and built. Now I am no real expert on makefiles but AFAIK in this case it shouldn't matter, what value WITHOUT_X11 has, as long as it is set at all. Am I too thick to be getting the point here or have I missed something not all that obvious? Don't think it matters but the Plattform is SPARC64 and the Version is 6.1-RELEASE (no cvsup run yet). Regards Chris I'm not entierly sure, but i think you have to provide -DWITHOUT_X11, no space between D and the rest. That's how i specify make options anyway. AS others suggested, if you never intend to run a X11-server, setting WITHOUT_X11=yes in make.conf is propablyu better, then you don't have to worry at all about X being installed if there is a option not to.

Any idea would be greatly appreciated. :-) The mfsroot.flp has been replaced in favour of kernX.flp. It was sometime when the mfsroot grew bigger that the 1.44KiB-limit. What someone did was making the kernel splitable over multiple floppies, and still bootable, iirc. Why do you need a mfsroot instead of an ordinary /? Are you planing on making a live cd? Just out of curiosity. Regards! //Niclas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html on how to achieve it.

Virtual Computer - Jail
I was thinking about having some sort of virtual computer or operating system to test stuff in. The point being that i can just to a rm -rf on it and start over if i mess something upp really bad, all without affecting my regular workstation. Is jail a good sulotion for this? Is there any other sulotions?

I don't want anyone to be able to access to the disk using a bootable CD (or by setting the actual hdd to secondary and plug an other primary hdd). I just don't want anyone to be able to hack this box nor any password. Do you have a solution? Cheers Alex You can start by looking in the handbook, chapter 14, about security. Then you also have security(7) manual page to look at for information about how to secure a FreeBSD server.

ntpd and ntp.conf
Hi! I am trying to configure my ntpd to sync my computer clock, but I can't figure ut how to do it. I don't want to use ntpd -q and just sync it on computer startup, because the clock drifts too much. How do I manage to get a properly configured ntpd without giving the whole world access to it? Thanks beforhand! Regards //Niclas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
malloc.conf and malloc debugging
Hi list! I know you can turn malloc debugging on and of by symlinking /etc/malloc.conf, i.e. ln -s AJ /etc/malloc.conf. But how do i check if the debugging is on or not? I can't find a /etc/malloc.conf in my system, niether can i find a AJ symlink. I'm running 5.3-BETA7 now, but are planning to upgrade to HEAD. Will malloc debugging be turned on in the upgrade?
