What port contains libxcb.so.2, and hoow could I figure this out?
One of my machines is suddenly complaining that it can't find libxcb.so.2. This is probably an issue related to a recent attempt to update the software on this machine, so I figured I'd just rebuild the port that provides this library, but I can't figure out how to determine which on that would be. I have the feeling that I should be able to use pkg_info for this, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. Is this the right tool? If so, how do I use it for this, if not, what is the correct tool? Thanks. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

This is to good to be true
I have about a dozen FreeBSD boxes serving a dedicated function. Among other things these machines run a local copy of Firefox, which is updated rapidly by a CGI script. These machines were at 6.2 STABLE, and Firefox 1.x. I am upgrading them to 7.2 STABLE, and Firefox 3. Historically memory leaks in Firefox cause us to have to write a watchdog script that killed it an restarted it about once a day, based upon it's active memory set. One of the new machines has been up for several days without having to do this. This is not totally unexpected,as I thought that this had bee improved, if not fixed in newer versions of Firefox. However, I have been keeping a close look on memory utilization using cricket (which acquires it's data using SNMP) and I am blown away by what I am seeing historically ucd_sys free ram has hovered around zero on these systems, Now it grows over time! These machines do have a stable set of applications, and I can rationally see how a well designed kernel might be aggressively freeing RAM given this. If so huge congratulations are due the developers. Dose this seem to be a reasonable belief? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Help with CUPS reconfiguration
I am trying to reconfigure a bunch of machine to acomodate new domain names. One of these machines is a fairly old FreeBSD machine (6.3). We have done a search through all the files of these machines looking for references to the old domain name. One of these is in /etc/printcap/ /etc/printcap has a comment in it that says it is auto generated by cops. It refers to /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf as the source file. However, this file does not have a reference to the old domain. My guess is that this is picked up automatically from the machine name, when it is built. Therein lies the issue. I cant connect remotely port 631 on this machine as the certificate is no longer valid, as the domain has changed. When I go to the machine an try to connect to localhost:631, it gets connected, but no combination of username password works.

I have solved this problem on some Soalris machines that also si`uffer from this same design by settting the doamin macro in thier sendmail.cf as follows: Dj$w.realdomain.com OI know that in FreeBSD I should not edit sendmail.cf directly, but instead should edit the appropriate .mc file, and remake the .cf file.

text2html ?
I had a contractor uppgrade a freebsd machine a while back. Now I am finding things that did not get done corectly. The latest is that I have some other machines that create text files copy them over to this machine, and put them iin the webservers space. Looks like in the past, these files were procesed by /usr/local/bin/text2html, which O would almost certainly have installed from a port. But, I cannot seem to find this port.

DHCP client questions
We have been bought out, and the new powers that be, are changing things. They have decreed that there shall be no static entries in their DNS servers. They are using $MS DHCP/DNS servers. I have a corporate supported Win XP laptop, which I can plug in at various places in the network. It gets different IP addresses, based upon where it physically is, but always comes up with the same name. I have several machines (such as a mailserver) which _MUST_ have fixed names. I have played around with /etc/dhcllient.conf, but not managed to get this working. I can get IP addresses, and various things such as default routers, and DNS servers, but I have not managed to get the suggested name put in their DNS. I have captured packet traces with wireshark from the laptop, and from the FreebSD client, and I am putting these up at http://beachcave.net/pdumps. I would really appreciate it if someone more familiar with DHCP that I could take a look at theses.

Samba and busy network
I have a FreeBSD machine serving as (among other things) a Samba server for an XP instance running under VirtualBox. The XP application is a data gathering one that polls continuously. I have set up things so that XP mounts the Samba share, and logs it's data there. Problem is that every morning I come in to find that the XP app is complaining of disk problems from the share. I am fairly certain that this problem is occurring in the middle of the night, when my Amanda backups run. This does load the network fairly good. The FreeBSD box, and the Linux box are on the same switch, and same subnet. Anyone have suggestions as to how to address this issue? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. ___ 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

Didn't know there was any other kind ;) I installed ntfsprogs and read the man, but couldn't find the command ntfsmount anywhere in my system! I'm not even sure that's the command I need, but where is it?! I read the above page, and all I got out of it is this: Driver allows to mount NTFS volumes under FreeBSD and NetBSD. We also support limited writing ability: you can write into not comressed files without holes, but you can't change the size of file yet. Write support was made to swap on NTFS volume. So, apparently, there is limited write ability, but I have no idea what that means. Even when I try to copy a simple README file over, I can't. Seems like it's really limited in its write ability! Tore writes: If it is FAT32, my best guess is that you do not have permisson to write. In that case, log in as root, umount the drive, set new permissions, etc. How do I find out if it's FAT32?
