Re: questions about FreeBSD
2009/8/31 Julian R A Manning julian.r.a.mann...@gmail.com Dear Sir/Madam I have some questions about FreeBSD. The questions I had in mind are: . What type of OS is it? Is it single/multi user, multitasking, what family does it belong to? . General features (at least three)? Firewall, GUI, Networking and so on. . Minimum Hardware Requirements? Processors, RAM, Hard drive space, type of monitors and so on. . File system supported? . Applications (at least three)? eg. wordprocessing and so on. It would be very helpful if you could just pass on this email to someone who has experience with FreeBSD.

Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies
2009/7/8 Eric Sheesley eshee...@shadowlair.com Well, it has been happening with just about every port(no specific ones) that have a dependency which is also being built. An example from today: === Registering installation for libtheora-1.0_1 === Cleaning for libtheora-1.0_1 --- Cleaning out obsolete shared libraries [Updating the pkgdb format:bdb_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 456 packages found (-0 +1) . done] --- Skipping 'multimedia/ffmpeg' (ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10) because a requisite package 'libtheora-1.0' () failed (specify -k to force) ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - (bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04) * multimedia/ffmpeg (ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10) %portupgrade -a --- Skipping 'bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) --- Upgrading 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10' to 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_11' (multimedia/ffmpeg) --- Building '/usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg' As seen above, libtheora built and installed just fine, but ffmpeg was skipped for some reason. I ran portupgrade -a again and all worked fine. This ways also occuring when I ran portupgrade -arR. Ports tree is updated with cvsup each night. I don't believe I've overridden anything, most especially not in the past 2 weeks when this all started happening. The above is just one example of it happening. It happens almost everyday there is more than one port to upgrade(and different ports each time of course). Thanks again, Eric Try to run portsdb -F everytime after cvsup is done. I might be wrong, but it works for me without any problems. -- With best regards, Vladislav Prokofyev ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p12 bind9 log files not found
Hello,
I have setup FreeBSD recently, can somebody help me with one interesting
thing - Bind9 slave DNS server, everything is works great, but I got a
problem with extended logging of xfer, etc.
Bind9 started in chroot:
root 7880.0 0.1 3156 1004 ?? Ss Fri01AM 0:02.10
/usr/sbin/syslogd -l /var/run/log -l /var/named/var/run/log -s
bind30792 0.0 1.2 16212 12864 ?? Is4:10PM 0:00.23
/usr/sbin/named -t /var/named -u bind
Configuration of logging channels from named.conf:
logging
{
channel xfer
{
file /var/named/var/log/xfer.log versions 3 size
10m;
print-time
yes;
print-severity
yes;
severity
info;
};
channel lame
{
file /var/named/var/log/lame.log versions 2 size
10m;
print-time
yes;
print-severity
yes;
severity
info;
};
channel config
{
file /var/named/var/log/conf.log versions 3 size
10m;
print-time
yes;
print-severity
yes;
severity
info;
};
channel security
{
file /var/named/var/log/security.log versions 3 size
10m;
print-time
yes;
print-severity
yes;
severity
info;
};
category xfer-in { xfer; };
category xfer-out { xfer; };
category notify { xfer; };
category lame-servers { lame; };
category config { config; };
category security { security; };
category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
};
Next, I've create files in /var/named/var/log and chown them to bind:wheel
(cause of -u bind is defined above):
[po...@mgork23-gw /var/named/var/log]$ ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 bind wheel 512 May 30 16:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 May 21 19:16 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind wheel0 May 30 14:54 conf.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind wheel0 May 30 14:55 lame.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind wheel0 May 30 14:55 security.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind wheel0 May 30 14:54 xfer.log
But I get following messages in /var/log/messages:
May 30 16:27:42 srv named[31139]: starting BIND 9.4.2 -t /var/named -u bind
May 30 16:27:42 srv named[31139]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953

May 30 16:27:42 srv named[31139]: isc_log_open '/var/named/var/log/xfer.log'
failed: file not found
Changing permissions and putting log-files in different places (with
changing paths in named.conf of course) has no effect. I see that problem is
pretty silly but searching info about this doesn't say something special - I
still got file not found in /var/messages.
Maybe Iam don't understand where files must be placed, so, thanks in advance
for everybody who can explain how it works :)

named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/sbin/named named_chrootdir=/var/named -Mike After adding these options on my system, named didn't start at boot. Manully attempt to start it via '/etc/rc.d/named start' brought to the following error: /etc/rc.d/named: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run /usr/sbin/named Anyway, thank you for time you've spent to write an answer.
