WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted...! generally this happens if you just turn of your computer without a proper 'shutdown -h now'. FreeBSD has to write cached filesystem data from memory to the disk before a shutdown. if the system is switched off before this sync, there is the possibility that your filesystem is in an inconsistent state. are you using soft-updates on this filesystem? you can check this with the mount commando, for example: /dev/mirror/rm0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates) if yes you should see a background fsck process running (check with 'ps ax | grep fsck') after the system boots. Check /var/log/messages to see if there are any messages from fsck. to be sure you can also boot the system into single user mode (use menu item 4 on the FreeBSD boot screen) an run fsck manually (e.g. 'fsck /dev/ad0s1f' where ad0s1f should be replaced with the actual mount point of your /usr filesystem. maybe fsck has to fix the filesystem and will ask some questions that you should answer with 'y'. a second run of fsck is not required but does not hurt just to be sure the filesystem is consistent. after that you can just 'exit' the single user shell to continue booting or reboot the system again. remember to always use 'shutdown -h' or 'shutdown -p'. please also consult the FreeBSD handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ which contains a lot of information for newcomers. there are also excellent books about FreeBSD available, just search amazon. hth toni -- Don't forget, there is no security | toni at stderror dot at -- Wulfgar | Toni Schmidbauer ___ 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

make update only fetches the source + ports tree via cvsup.
it's just a more convenient way of calling cvsup.
you have to make the following entries in /etc/make.conf to use
make update:
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2
SUPHOST=your cvsup mirror here
SUPFILE=/etc/system.cvsup

make {build,install}world is still necessary.

I have just made a new port which I want to make available for the ports

We have a global mail server for our company that handles all mail traffic.
Users contact this mail server with their favourite mail clients (Netscape,
Kmail, Eudora, ...) via SMTP with auth or SMTP after POP. My FreeBSD
workstation from which I want to send the PR via send-pr has its default
sendmail config and can not send mail to anywhere outside the world. This
is no problem so far as I just use a Win-mail client for my mail
communication.
When I run send-pr I get an email to my campus email account:
The original message was received at Tue, 12 Aug 2003 17:59:29 +0200

I asked the network admins how to configure my FreeBSD box and they told me
to set a relay host in my config. I looked into /etc/mail and
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README and saw a lot of things I really don't want
to know about.
Q1: How can I submit the PR without send-pr and without the web-interface?
(or, if this to complicated:)
Q2: Is there a chance to setup my local sendmail that it can send mail
worldwide?
trying to answer q2 because q1 was too complicated :-)
edit /etc/mail/submit.cf and change
D{MTAHost}[localhost]
to
D{MTAHost}[global mail server]
restart sendmail. this is untested, so let me know if it works
for you.
because relaying over global mail server is only permitted
after a successfull pop login, use fetchmail just before sending
the mail:
fetchmail -c -p pop3 -u your username global mail server

I want to backup the entire /usr/home directory to another machine on the network. FTP has not been disabled (yet) and I have NcFTP installed. ssh is also set up between the two machines, so scp is available. The first machine has very little disk space available, so I don't think I can tar the directory tree on the native machine. I've also installed the rsync port. I don't have a time problem, I could leave the job running overnight. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html#AEN15999 hth, toni -- Behandle die Menschen, als wären sie, was sie sein | toni at stderror dot at sollten, und du wirst ihnen helfen, zu werden, was | Toni Schmidbauer sie sein können. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

A lot of laptop users connect to the public ip of my mailserver as this is what they'd use if they were out of the office. However when they are in the office, it doesn't work so well. I've got some double nat magic on the firewall to attempt to overcome the problem however it just doesn't seem to work so well. As soon as I change the mailserver to the internal ip for these laptop users, everything works great. However having the laptop users change this everytime is not a workable solution. What I want to do is setup on my caching nameserver something so that when the laptop users requests the public name of my mailserver it acutally returns the internal ip. Everyone's happy! look at bind 9 views. it's well documented in the bind 9 administrator manual available from http://www.nominum.com/content/documents/bind9arm.pdf hth, toni -- Behandle die Menschen, als wären sie, was sie sein | toni at stderror dot at sollten, und du wirst ihnen helfen, zu werden, was | Toni Schmidbauer sie sein können. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

At the very least I don't want them to be able to do a cd .. and view /usr/home and view the other user accounts information. How would I set this up so they couldn't view other user accounts or preferably any other part of the system. - you could use bash -r (restricted bash) - or chroot(8), on google i found the following article: http://www.tjw.org/chroot-login-HOWTO/ this how to is for linux but it should work on freebsd to. - if you just want to restrict access to other users home dir's, creating a group per user and chmod 750 the users home dir should be sufficient. hth, toni -- Behandle die Menschen, als wären sie, was sie sein | toni at stderror dot at sollten, und du wirst ihnen helfen, zu werden, was | Toni Schmidbauer sie sein können. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
