Usage of '@cwd' and '@srcdir' in a package list
All, Need a little direction on package creation. This issue is hitting me on both 8.0, 8.2 and 9.0 FreeBSD (amd64) releases. I'm trying to create a package using pkg_create with the intention of installing under /usr/local. However, my build environment is private (not under /usr/ports or /usr/src) and I *do not* install before creating the package file. My problem is that if I have the following in my package list file - @cwd /usr/local @srcdir . ... relative filepaths ... The the pkg_create fails with tar complaining about not being able to source the files, even though I invoke pkg_create at the top of the subtree and the files are relative to my current working directory. I have also tried the '-s `pwd`' option to pkg_create as well, with no success. Removing the @cwd line allows the package to be built. Reading the man page it states @srcdir directory Set the internal directory pointer for _creation only_ to directory. That is to say that it overrides @cwd for package creation but not extraction. Which seems to be what I want but why is it not overriding? Any pointers are welcomed.

BIOS configuration for a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and i7 Intel processor
All, I am putting together a DIY system using a Gigabyte motherboard and the Intel i7. I plan on running FreeBSD 9.0 as the based OS. I have a Seagate 1 TB Barracuda for the hard drive connected to one of the sata controllers. I've got a couple of questions regarding the SATA setup. The motherboard has an Intel ICH10R South Bridge controlling 6 SATA2 (3.0 Gbs/s) devices, Gigabyte controlling 2 GSATA2 devices (3.0 Gb/s) and a Marvell 9128 SATA3 (6.0 Gb/s) devices. I currently have the HDD connected to the ICH10R. My first question is simply confirmation of what my googling seems to have turned up - that this controller is supported by FreeBSD. 2nd question, the BIOS setup lists this controller mode as IDE and the other possible values are - IDE = Disables RAID for this SATA controller, configures the controller in IDE mode RAID = Enables RAID for this SATA controller AHCI = Configures the SATA controller to Advanced Host Controller Interface mode to support enabled advanced Serial ATA commands such as Native Command Queuing and Hot plug. Which mode is the best for FreeBSD? The BIOS default is IDE. I am currently only using 1 HDD so I am not currently interested in RAID. Is AHCI supported? NOTE: these modes are listed for all three SATA controllers.

I am running KGDB inside of an emacs session on the Sony Vaio. The HP's are running in 64-bit (amd64) FreeBSD 8.0. The uart0 on the target is configured as (from dmesg.boot): uart0: 16550 or compatible port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x90 on acpi0 uart0: [FILTER] uart0: console (9600,n,8,1) The Cyclades port is configured the same. My kernel is built with the following options: options KDB options DDB options GDB The kernel is built with -O2 -g In /boot/loader.conf I have the following lines: console=comconsole vidconsole comconsole_speed=9600 hint.uart.0.flags=0x90 I invoke the kernel debugger on the target using: 'sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1' Which gets me to the DB prompt where I enter the following: DBgdb Step to enter the gdb debugger DBs I am invoking KGDB inside of emacs on the build server in the 'obj' tree where the kernel build is located. kgdb -fullname kernel.debug Once I have the gdb prompt, I enter the following target command: target remote 10.10.29.111:7028 Where 10.10.29.111 is the address of the Cyclades and port 7028 connects me to serial port 28 on the Cyclades. This brings up the kernel with the break point. I then set my break point(s) and enter 'c' to continue. Sometimes the break points fire, sometimes they don't.

Thanks, Patrick Mahan Adara Networks Nothing wrong with your growisofs line. That's what I use all the time to write DVD isos, including FreeBSD install media. It seems the drive is unable to recognize the media as a recordable one (look at the cdrecord message: incompatible medium found and growisofs: media not recognized as recordable dvd). Could you try with a different brand/type disk? Try both DVD+R and DVD-R. I've had this before: specific drives refusing to work with specific media. *sigh* not on FreeBSD as well :-( I have run across this writing DVD's using Fedora Cora and Ubuntu. Especially, when the drive is a DVD+/-RW drive. I've had it writing with -R and come back the next day and it would only take +R. Should have guessed since these are basically the same tools I have tried to use under linux. This was one of the reasons I used my Mac. I've gone and gotten some DVD+R and it seems to be doing something (lights are flashing and growisofs is outputing a lot of info.

Guys,

It didn't core dump, but neither work. Basically, I'm doing a read via
fgets:
while(fgets(buf, sizeof buf, fp_in)) {
an HTML or other file with TAGS. Optionally, say, given the switch
-N,
the program would NOT progress any of the HTML tags; It would only
touch other
stuff in the file. Simply put, I have a fixed buffer, buf[1024], that
I want to
change --i think by-reference-not certain-by calling
skiptags(*buf); and skiptags() would read past the WHATEVER=7 FOO=6
BAR=Times
and return the buffer to the place after fgets() where skiptags(buf)
is called
missing all markup TAGS.
I'm better at by-refernce with ints that chars, so I don't know how far
off I am
here. That's why I;'m asking you guys.
Gary,
Let me restate your problem: You want to read through a file containing tags
delimited by and to skip these tags if the user has run your command with
the -N flag.
In C any thing passed by address is by reference. For a your static buffer
of 1024 characters: you can pass it by reference as:
skiptags(buf); /* passes in the starting address of the buffer */
skiptags(buf[0]); /* passes in the starting address of the buffer */
skiptags(buf[10]); /* passes int the starting address of the buffer
at the 11th character position. */
Arrays and pointers are always by reference. Individual data types int,
char, etc are by value unless passed in as a pointer. I think this is where
your confusion is around.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Remember how fgets() works. It is entirely possible that you might have
tags that span multiple lines. You will need to take that into account.
2. You can manipulate the fixed buffer two different ways:
A. You can use pointer arithemtic, eg.
char buf[1024];
char *cp;
while ((cp = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fp_in))) {
if (skiptags) cp = skiptag(buf);
/* If NULL, end of line reached */
if (!cp) continue;
}
char *skiptags(char *buf)
{
char *tp = buf;
/* find the start of a tag */
while (*tp != '\0' *tp++ != '');
/* if no tag is found return start of buffer */
if (*tp == '\0')
return buf;
/* Start of tag, find the end of tag */
while (*tp != '\0' *tp != '\n' *tp++ != '');
/* if end of line reached return NULL */
if (*tp == '\0' || *tp == '\n')
return NULL;
/* return the next character start after the end tag */
return ++tp;
}
B. Using indexing, eg.
char buf[1024];
int i, bsize;
while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fp_in)) {
i = 0;
bsize = strlen(buf);
if (skiptags) i = skiptag(buf);
/* If NULL, end of line reached */
if (i = bsize) continue;
}
int skiptags(char *buf)
{
int c = 0;
/* find the start of a tag */
while (buf[c] != '\0' buf[c] != '')
c++;
/* if no tag is found return start of buffer */
if (buf[c] == '\0')
return 0;
/* Start of tag, find the end of tag */
while (buf[c] != '\0' buf[c] != '\n' buf[c] != '')
c++;
/* if end of line reached return NULL */
if (buf[c] == '\0' || buf[c] == '\n')
return strlen(buf);
/* return the next character start after the end tag */
return ++c;
}
Both methods should allow you to skip past any tags found in the file (provided
you handle the case of a tag spanning more than one line).
Hope this clears up your confusion and gets you on your way.
Patrick

You've got it exactly right, Patrick. There were no C classes in 1978--I
taught myself. Obviously, not that well because I have already dreaded
pointers. ---Well, usually.
You are welcome, glad to help.
[examples snipped]
Your examples help a lot! Everything works except when there are two or more
tags on one line such as:
BODY BGCOLOR=#FF LINK=#00 VLINK=#006633FONT SIZE=4
I think I see where is your skiptags--pointer arithematic
function--this can be
caught. Thanks much!
If I might make a suggestion. Make use of a case (switch) statement:
switch(buf[c]) {
case '': /* start of tag, skip it if requested */
if (skiptags) c = skiptag(buf[c]);
...
default: /* handle normal stuff */
...
}
Inside your while() statement.
Good luck,

Re: su'ing not sourcing .bash_profile
Because .bash_profile is only seen on login, not on 'su'. Put it in .bashrc which is read when the shell is invoked. See 'man bash' Patrick Daniel Underwood presented these words - circa 4/24/09 12:43 PM- When I am logged in as a non-root user and I try to become root by entering su and typing the root password, the resulting bash prompt does not reflect the contents of /root/.bash_profile My /root/.bash_profile contains (among other things): export PS1=[\e[1;31m\]$(tput bold)\u$(tput sgr0)\[\e[0...@\h \w]\$ The point is to make the username (root) display in BOLD and RED text. After su'ing, the text is not bold nor red. If I then enter source ~/.bash_profile, however, the prompt displays correctly, showing root in bold and red text. How come su'ing doesn't seem to effect everything in the /root/.bash_profile file?

Re: mail server DNS configuration questions
Andrew Falanga presented these words - circa 9/6/08 6:28 PM- Hi, Well, my clients at church are still having issues and after working with George, a respondant to my original questions, I think that most, if not all, of my problems are related to DNS and how we've got it improperly configured. First, a crude drawing of how our mail server exists in the world: 192.168.2.x/24 72.24.23.252 lot's of networks Private Network -- CableOne -- Internet Now, our mail server's IP is 192.168.2.23. On the router, he (the person at whose house the mail server is) has IP forwarding setup so that mail get's sent to our FreeBSD machine. Using dig, here's the responses: (from my FBSD machine at home, not the server) [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -t MX whitneybaptist.org 10 mail.whitneybaptist.org. [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -t A whitneybaptist.org 72.24.34.252 [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -x 72.24.34.252 34-252.72-24-cpe.cableone.net. (from the church FBSD machine) [/home/afalanga] - hostname whitbap [/home/afalanga] - ifconfig fxp0 fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.2.23 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:d0:b7:74:87:48 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active [/home/afalanga] - cat /etc/resolv.conf search McCutchanLAN nameserver 192.168.2.1 It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or a computer scientist, to figure out we've got DNS issues. I'm thinking that I should setup a domain within the 192.168.2.0/24 network on this box. I've done this before, at work. The question I've got is I've never actually integrated a domain like this to a domain on the Internet. I'm thinking that we'll setup something like: internal.whitneybaptist.org with hosts in that sub-domain. First, what are you trying to accomplish with the internal DNS? Make it easier to resolve machines in the 192.168.2.0 network? Allow lookups external of the 192.168.2.0 network? What machine is 'mail.whitneybaptist.com'? Is it on the 192.168.2.0 network? Is it reachable from the Internet? Who is the owner of whitneybaptist.org DNS zone? I show the following NS servers: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/src/MPS/DocDownload 140 dig +short -t NS whitneybaptist.org ns1.domaindirect.com. ns2.domaindirect.com. ns3.domaindirect.com. Which is administered by tucows.com (Tucows, Inc) a seller of DNS services. So, what would my DNS tables need to look like to make this happen. Also, to any knowledgable souls here, what RFCs address these issues? You can read the RFC's if you want, but you would be better served to purchase DNS and BIND, Fourth Edition, by Paul Albitz Cricket Liu to learn how to administer DNS.

Re: How to set TCP parameter?
EdwardKing presented these words - circa 8/19/08 9:39 PM- $sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl net.inet.tcp.msl 3 It is 3ms or 3s? It's ms, basically it is 30*hz (see tcp_timer.h). So it is by default, 30 secs. I want to modify it,because I met with following question: There is a server and a client,when client send a message to server,server can send a reply to client. The status of server and client is ESTABLISHED.Then I halt the client by press ctrl+c,I find the server status is CLOSE_WAIT and the client status is FIN_WAIT_2. Many minutes passed,I find the the server status still is CLOSE_WAIT and the client status still is FIN_WAIT_2. At last,the client status is disappeared,but the server status still is CLOSE_WAIT.Why the status of server isn't CLOSED? I am puzzled with it for a very long time. Would you tell the reason? This is going to require you digging into the TCP protocol (you can start with RFC-793 but I would also recommend some books on the subject, I prefer the Stevens book TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol 1). I've attached the TCP state diagram to this email for you. Let's look at what happens, we start with both the client and the server in the TCP state ESTAB ClientEvent Server == ==== ESTAB ESTAB You issue a CTRL-C, causing the client to close the connection to the server. This causes the following: ESTAB-CLOSE ESTAB -- FIN CLOSE-FIN_WAIT_1 ESTAB The TCP layer moves the connection to CLOSE state and sends a FIN to start connection tear down. The server receives the FIN. ESTAB ACK-- FIN_WAIT_1 ESTAB-CLOSE_WAIT On the server the reception of the FIN causes the TCP layer to send an ACK of the FIN and moves the connection to the CLOSE_WAIT state. FIN_WAIT_1-FIN_WAIT_2 CLOSE_WAIT What should be happening is that now the server should send a FIN in response, but either 1) it fails too or 2) it is lost in between. Eventually, the TCP layer on the client times out the FIN_WAIT_2 state and moves the connection to the CLOSED state. However, the server cannot move out of the CLOSE_WAIT state since it hasn't seen the ACK to it's FIN. There is no TCP variable in the FreeBSD implementation to change this (that I know of). I have seen this happen at times when there is a buggy NAT firewall between you and the server that causes the FIN from the server to get dropped. If you have control of both sides, you can do packet traces using tcpdump to see if the FIN from the server is ever sent or receive. It is possible that your client is dropping the packet itself.

Re: problems with a C script, exiting with signal 10
Jordi Moles Blanco presented these words - circa 8/7/08 3:13 AM-
Hi,
I've got this home-made script, written in C, on a Freebsd 7.0 server
with different versions of postfix: 2.3,2,4 and 2.5
The problem is that, while most of the time it works like a charm,
sometimes it crashes and bounces the message. It's not really a big
deal, cause the sender gets notified that their mail wasn't delivered
and hopefully, they will resend it. However, the problem is that I've
tried to debug my script but found nothing wrong at all, cause it only
fails from time to time, let's say... once for each 2000 messages that
postfix receives, and it appears to do so in a random way.
As i said... postfix can fail to deliver a message to one particular
mailbox, but if then you resend the very same message to the very same
mailbox, it will be delivered.
The error is reported in both maillog and messages, like this:
**/var/log/maillog
Aug 7 01:55:19 mail01 postfix/pipe[27534]: 3E1A0143709:

*/var/log/messages***
Aug 7 01:55:19 mail01 kernel: pid 29535 (quota_postfix), uid 125:

Well signal 10 is SIGBUS which is indicative of (generally) a bad address,
non-aligned memory address (on platforms it matters) or a hardware error.
I would look for places you are dereferencing a pointer without perhaps
first validating it.
Given that it rarely occurs, I might suspect that you are allocating some
memory, but failing to completely initialize (malloc() doesn't zero out
memory) it or assuming it is already initialize.
Good luck,
Patrick
Here you have some extra information about the script itself and the

It's got de suid flag cause it performs a du command and other file
operations which need permissions, although i've tried with other groups
of permissions and it eventually crashes anyway with signal 10

So far, any program which crashed would leave a .core file in
/usr/crash, but this one is not doing the same, so... i can't actually
debug from the core file either.
Sysctl in my FreeBSD server is ok, but i guess that postfix, somehow is
preventing this filter from generating a core file. Is that possible? Or
am i completely wrong?
How could I, at least, generate the .core file?
Thanks.

Re: DNS troubles
Jim presented these words - circa 7/21/08 6:30 PM- I'm trying to get a machine working, but it can't seem to handle DNS requests. I've just done a 7.0 install (from CD, usually I use net, but it wasn't connecting to anything, now I know why). I have a machine with two built in NICs on the motheroboard, one using nfe the other using bge. When I try to connect to anything, I get a cannot resolve host error. Both are set up to be static, 192.168.1.84, and bge is 192.168.1.86. I have tried both 192.168.1.1 (the router, which points to the ISPs DNS) and 4.2.2.1 in the /etc/resolve.conf file, each separately, not both at once. The machine can ping both of these addresses and gets a decent to rapid return time (~.3ms for the former, 20ms for the latter) Neither works on this machine. Both work on the other FreeBSD and Windows machines in the house. I have the machine set to dual boot, and DNS works fine under Windows. I tried DHCP without an luck. The previous install on this machine just worked. What I *SUSPECT* is the biggest clue (my guess, check an rc.d file, which?) During boot up, after showing the network interfaces, until showing the login prompt, the terminal gets spammed with b: not found. Up to this point: - I installed it once with a boot only CD and it worked fine, but being absent minded, I reinstalled thinking it would be the quickest/easiest way to fix an issue, and the install I had wasn't really 'set-up' yet. - The DNS checker (bind?) wasn't working properly during the first reinstall. Sadly, I found this out after reformatting the partitions. - I re-burned the CD with CD1 (not boot only), and tried again - DNS still didn't work. - I installed from CD. Process for current install: - I installed i386/7.0 from Install Disk 1, minimal install + dict, man, info and doc - I set the root password during the install - I updated the /etc/ssh* files to the files from my old system (I can ssh into the computer fine) - I copied over the rc.conf and modified the NIC and startup entries (see below) - I added if_tap_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf (this was AFTER the DNS issues had started) - set the values in /etc/resolve.conf - I copied /etc/supfile-ports and /etc/supfile-src from the old install. These are pretty boring supfiles for ports and src respectively. - I added my non-root account (so I could ssh in) That's it. Any ideas? My suspicion is that my next step will be 'rebuild bind from within /usr/src wherever it resides in there'. However, since it wasn't working during install or now, I suspect that won't be enough. Why do you think 'bind' is the problem? You are not using bind, you are using the DNS resolver (which is the client side of Bind). Can you reach each of the nodes listed in resolv.conf? via ping? via traceroute? Have you tried to issue a 'dig 4.2.2.1 name' to see if you can reach the DNS server? I would first ensure that you have basic network connectivity, once that is confirmed, that you have access to the DNS servers. But your problem is not locally with Bind.

Re: Network programming question
Andrew Falanga presented these words - circa 3/13/08 9:10 AM- Hi, I'd like to know why the inet_pton(3) doesn't fill in the address family of the proper structure passed into it. I'm at a complete loss for why. Here's the prototype: int inet_pton(int af, const char * restrict src, void * restrict dst); Three arguments only. The address family, hm, I'm passing it in; the address string in printable ASCII text, and a void pointer to the address structure to put the address into, presumably one of the sockaddr_* family structures for AF_INET or AF_INET6 (further, the man page says that this function is only valid for these two families now anyway). From some coding for a program, I did find that this function, inet_pton(3), *does* in fact mangle the sin_family member of the sockaddr_in structure, so why not mangle it to what it should be? I was doing something like this: // valid code above sockaddr_in sa; sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_port = htons(3252); inet_pton(AF_INET, 192.168.0.1, sa); sendto(sa, msg, strlen(msg), 0, (struct sockaddr*)sa, sizeof(sa)); See man inet_pton . . . for details. Briefly, inet_pton() doesn't understand sockaddr structures. Instead, it only understands in_addr or in6_addr structures which are included inside the sockaddr structure. So your above example should be changed to // valid code above sockaddr_in sa; int res; sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_port = htons(3252); if ((res = inet_pton(AF_INET, 192.168.0.1, sa.sin_addr)) 0) perror(inet_pton); if (!res) // error occurred fprintf(stderr, Address notation incorrect for AF_INET address\n); The call to sendto is wrapped in an if an was failing for errno code 47, Address family not supported by protocol (I was using UDP). I changed the assignment of AF_INET to the sa.sin_family member to *after* the call to inet_pton(3) and suddenly everything worked. Why? Since the address family was used by inet_pton(3) to figure out how to read the address and assign it to sa.sin_addr.s_addr, why not simply assign AF_INET to the address family member in inet_pton(3)? Because it is treating the sockaddr_in structure as an in_addr structure which is clobbering the sin_family field. I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just curious. It seems like redundancy. I've used the address family to tell inet_pton(3) how to operate, and then this function can't assign it to the sockaddr_in structure passed to it? This makes little sense. In case it's because I'm using older FBSD libraries that had a flaw fixed, I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4. Is this because that's how POSIX defined it to work? Is this the right venue or should I try one of the other mailing lists?

inside the sockaddr structure. So your above example should be changed
to
Ok, I should have thought of that when reading the manual.
if ((res = inet_pton(AF_INET, 192.168.0.1, sa.sin_addr)) 0)
perror(inet_pton);
Because it is treating the sockaddr_in structure as an in_addr structure
which is clobbering the sin_family field.
If this is true, then why are my packets sent at all? The definition
of sockaddr_in (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
struct sockaddr_in {
uint8_t sin_len;
sa_family_t sin_family;
in_port_t sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
charsin_zero[8];
};
The definition of in_addr (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
struct in_addr {
in_addr_t s_addr;
};
The definition of in_addr_t (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
typedef uint32_tin_addr_t;
Passing in what I have, the address should indeed (as you've pointed
out) clobber the sin_family member. However, since in_addr is
basically an unsigned integer, i.e. 4 bytes wide, shouldn't
inet_pton(3) clobber sin_len, sin_family sin_port before ever
reaching sin_addr? The sin_len sin_family are 8 bit quantities, the
sin_port is 16 bits, that's 32. If inet_pton(3) is expecting only an
in_addr I would think that a call to sendto(2) would fail because the
address in sin_addr is not filled, correct?
inet_pton() clobbered the fields you pointed out. In fact the sin_family
field was being set to 0x01 which caused your initial EADDRNOTSUPPORT error
you were seeing. You quick change fixed that problem. However, (depending
on how sockaddr_in structure is actually allocated) the sin_addr field was
0.0.0.0. This is actually an accepted form of the broadcast address for UDP
packets. I forget exactly who the culprit was (Sun comes to mind) but there
was a need to allow broadcasts to 0.0.0.0 (which is also know as INADDR_ANY).
So, therefore, sendto() succeeded, just not in the way you expected. Looking
at in_pcbconnect_setup() in the kernel shows that actually the packet is sent
to the local primary interface address.
Let's look at what really happen to that packet -
192.168.0.1 after being mangled by inet_pton() gives
the field sin_addr.s_addr of 0x0100A8C0. This should make
your sockaddr_in structure look like -
sa.sin_len = 0x01
sa.sin_family = 0x00
sa.sin_port = 0xA8C0 (which is port 49320)
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = 0x
So the sendto() call was sending a packet to your local interface for port
49320.
And since UDP is a connectionless protocol, you don't have a way (unless it is
builtin to your application protocol) to determine an error. For example, TFTP
sends back notification for every dgram received.
I hope this helps with your understanding. I highly recommend if you are going
to do more network programming that you obtain at least some books on the
subject.

If your router works like most do (and it appears that it does from the
IP your linux box is getting), all you need to do is put this into
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0=DHCP
(or rerun sysinstall and configure your ethernet card to do dhcp.)
# sysinstall
Choose Configure/Networking/Interfaces and set your NIC to do dhcp.
Hmmm, he doesn't need to select DHCP (or maybe he already has) since the
interface (eth0) already has an assigned IP address on 192.168.1.0
network (192.168.1.4). Can you ping the router's IP address ('ping
192.168.1.1')? If so then you need to look at your router's external
IP address (the one that is actually visible to the Internet via your
ISP provided IP address).

However, be warned, some network administrators disable their routers from sending back these types of ICMP messages to prevent you from learning about their routing paths.

One of the issues that came out of this was it seemed that the ports database (/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db) was corrupt. So I tried to rebuild it by deleting it and setting PKG_DBDIR). I issued a 'portsdb -Uu' and it fails - host# portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..p5-DateTime-Calendar-Japanese-0.06001: /usr/ports/japanese/p5-DateTime-Calendar-Japanese-Era non-existent -- dependency list incomplete === devel/p5-DateTime-Calendar-Japanese failed *** Error code 1 1 error I've tried fetching a new INDEX, done a pkgdb -Fu, but nothing seems to work. Also, 'pkg_info' gives no packages installed and portversion gives ** No matching package found: *. So, somehow, I have managed to seriously hammer my ports/package installation. Is there a way to recover this info? Is there any way of determing just what is installed (I know of a few: Perl, emacs, etc) from info stored under '/usr/ports'? I've looked through the web and the archives and cannot seem to find a similar type of problem.

If you wanted to keep your old ports tree, you're outof luck without having a backup. Otherwise: csup -L2 /path/to/ports-supfile This is cvsup, correct? Or use portsnap, or whatever you're comfy with. I've tried fetching a new INDEX, done a pkgdb -Fu, but nothing seems to work. pkgdb -F does nothing? No errors, warnings? Could be your /var/db/pkg is damaged as well, if it's the same disk. pkgdb -F gives the following: host# pkgdb -F --- Checking the package registry database host# I'll look at using the other methods. Is there any way I can hand parse through the info under /usr/ports to determined everything I have installed?

Have you updated it lately? I had done a portsnap about 6 hours before the first READ error on the IDE drive. So, somehow, I have managed to seriously hammer my ports/package installation. Is there a way to recover this info? Is there any way of determing just what is installed (I know of a few: Perl, emacs, etc) from info stored under '/usr/ports'? If you just removed the portupgrade database (which is all you mentioned), you haven't lost anything important: it can be regenerated. If the whole of /var/db/pkg was obliterated, you'll have to reinstall everything. If you know what version of each port you had installed (plus the OPTIONS, etc., used), installing over the top of what you have now is probably the best you can do. Unfortunately, the whole of /var/db/pkg was *pocked*. As for knowing what versions were installed, well, that's what I am trying to determine. I guess it looks like I am going to need a big *pocking* hammer Thanks, Patrick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
