Raspberry pi running headless with practically no services and usb to

You want something like a Portmaster or Lantronix device that will
provide serial consoles over SSH

http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/external-device-servers/


Or a small computer like a netbook running sshd with a USB to serial 
adapter and cu(1).


If you had two systems located near each other in a data center, each 
could act as the SSH serial console terminal for the other.

Sounds like you are looking for something like SOL (serial over LAN) which
can be setup with IPMI.  Google should help you find more info on setting
up IPMI.

Re: is there any books about network with FreeBSD

Michael Lucas has published some highly regarded books on Freebsd and 
Networking.  Here is a link to his site https://www.michaelwlucas.com/


Full Disclosure: I have known Michael for many, many years so I am 
somewhat biased but I do use his books and they answer over 95% of my

Seriously! For starters, go to <http://oreilly.com/> and type in
"networking" and dozens of potential targets will appear. You can also
use Amazon <http://www.amazon.com/>, change the search scope to books
and type in "network". This certainly isn't rocket science. You could
use <http://www.barnesandnoble.com> or visit their book store, any
decent book store, (the ones with XXX splashed across the front window
probably not so much) and locate exactly what you want. You probably
will not locate a "FreeBSD & Networking for Dummies"; however, since
FreeBSD does, at least for the most part, stays consistent with what the
other major operating systems do. Your biggest problem will be locating
drivers for the the newer or high end devices that are constantly
becoming available on the market.

intro is about my speed right now.  there was a series on
youtube but the guy never got out of the python frame... .
at least i learned some basics.

i just checked the user-side key click.  i did NOT write
this; its author is one scott kirkwood [q.v., if you want].
there are still one or two bugs.  if/when i can get the
sound line plugged into my speakers, i'll port scott's work
for the berkeley distros.  AFAICT, he didn't stick any
linuxisms in there.

"Learning Python" by Mark Lutz is pretty complete and in-depth
introduction. But at 1100-odd pages it is quite a hefty tome, though. The
followup book "Programming Python" by the same author covers various aspects
like network programming, GUI programming et cetera.

The online documentation is excellent _for the standard library_ and the
_tutorial_. 

Also online you can find "Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer
Scientist", which is a nice introduction

If you want to learn python, first subscribe to the python tutor
mailing list. It's pretty much just like the FreeBSD list. In fact, I
think it uses the same exact software to run it and is configured on
about the same schedule. (List reminders come the same day.)

tu...@python.org

Next, the best book I've ever read on python was "Python Essential
Reference" by "David M. Beazley". It's a very dry book but he covers
just about everything in the most concise way possible.

For a more basic introduction to the subject I would look at
www.diveintopython.net (The guy gives away his entire book online -
And it's pretty good! He's also a frequenter of the python tutor

Suggestions:

Use them to seed a new BSD user group in your area:
Location, your favourite bar/ cafe. 

Or find a nearby similar user group. find a nearby member & drop
them all off with member to take to give away at next monthly meeting
of which ever club.

I actually own several of those books including my favorite door stop,
"Sendmail". In any case, why don't you try contributing then to a
library or perhaps a local school? You could conceivably get some sort
of tax write off for your efforts too.

Amazon.com started shipping pre-ordered copies only today, so I can't
imagine too many people have had a chance to form in-depth impressions
yet.  I'll try to say more after I actually have browsed my copy.  :-)

For the moment, I will strongly second Roland Smith's reminder that ?AMP
 is largely OS independent so long as you use a *n?x that
Apache/MySQL/etc. are well supported under.  You may well do better to
find a "Use Apache to build a web site" or "(language of your choice)
with (database of your choice)" book that suits your development
philosophy.

Configuring a ?AMP server is largely not really OS specific (apart from
things like firewalling). The AMP part should work on all UNIX-like
systems. Of course FreeBSD has ports, which makes installation of the
software easier.

Some searching on the internet is certain to give you lots of tutorials.

Depends on the persons other exerience. I switched to FreeBSD after
having used Slackware Linux for several years. With the Handbook and the
manual pages, I fealt at home straight away.

For novices, I would teach them system administration first, and
scripting later.

There is a lot of usefull documentation included with FreeBSD, starting
with the Handbook and FAQ. Look in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books

Daemons belonging to the base system or available via ports come with a
control script in (/usr/local)/etc/rc.d. There is no need to write your
own, unless you want to contribute a new port, which is not really a job
for a novice. However, one can learn a lot by studying the already available
scripts and the infrastructure that supports them. 

I've also found the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
[http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/] usefull, although one has to be carefull
of bash-specific features not supported by FreeBSD's /bin/sh.

Recommendations for BSD Unix Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for FreeBSD & BSD Books

[loony]

What are folks recommendations for the updated edition of BSD UNIX Toolbox: 
1000+ Commands for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD (Paperback)by Christopher Negus 
(Author), Francois Caen (Author)?

Overall, Absolute FreeBSD boosted my confidence/competence but as my  only  
printed  Unix/Linux/BSD  resource although it is not the "be one and end all"  
resource to FreeBSD as I was hoping for, particularly when it comes to slightly 
more advanced topics as building a production LAMP server.  I have the budget 
for another book.

I don't have access to a print version so I can really check it out before I 
buy.  Has anyone found BSD UNIX useful, more than useless, or redundant?  Is it 
organized and indexed well?  Is a good read on the toilet or only when when 
your working on a box?  Hasn't some other sys admin documented their commands 
really well and shared them?  This recommendation would be for a FreeBSD novice 
user.  If they didn't know how to script and had a choice between BSD UNIX 
Toolbox and a book about how to script, what would they be better off getting?

On that note, does anyone have recommendations for a freebsd orientated 
beginners guide to scripting and using scripts to manage a freebsd box and 
common systems/services/daemons?

loonybomber


May the admins live long and prosper.

Antique books and manuscripts, off to Dubai

[Inlibris]

Yesterday, a dozen heavy trunks with rare books, prints, and manuscripts from 
the 15th to 20th centuries left Vienna, Austria, for Dubai in the United Arab 
Emirates. Inlibris Gilhofer Nfg., dealers in rare books and manuscripts, 
established in 1883 and regular suppliers to major national libraries, 
universities, and museums worldwide for more than a century, will be the only 
participating rare book dealer at the inaugural Dubai International Fine Art 
and Antiques Fair.

Our offer will include the most beautiful and valuable illustrated books on 
natural history (including marine life, falconry, horsemanship, birds, and 
flowers), history of civilization (including the most comprehensive work on the 
17th-century wars), science (including a complete copy Diderot's Encyclopedie, 
formerly in the possession of Napoleon's son-in-law, and the great classics of 
medicine and pharmacology), and geography (including a perfect copy of an atlas 
published in the late 15th century), as well as art and architecture books from 
five centuries. Furthermore, we will be showing several Arabic manuscripts 
(including an early 16th-century miniature Koran) and an impressive collection 
of early Arabic printing (including the first oriental manuscript to be 
reproduced in facsimile in 1676). Local prints, maps, and historic photos will 
also be on view during the fair.

Our illustrated catalogue describes some of these objects in greater detail. 
Its digital version may be consulted on 
http://www.rarebooksandautographs.com/content/english/bestand/auswahlkatalog.php
Although the fair will be taking place in mid-december, reservations and orders 
are already welcome now. Those of you interested in free admission to the fair 
(opening on the 12th of December at the Dubai Convention Center) or a private 
meeting with our staff please contact us in advance via e-mail.

Kind regards from Vienna,

FreeBSD  ;)  Any other suggestions on good books, web sites, etc?


Hi.

A book that covers both the OS and the services into real detail would 
be like a a few thousand pages - there is no such thing. For DNS, you 
need  the Cricket Book (DNS and BIND), for other services you need other 
books. However, a combination of the FreeBSD handbook and the usually 
excellent man pages takes you a long way!


For the mail server, if you need connectivity from outside, yes, you 
need to expose it, if not, mail can just be routed to the insisde. 
Properly set up there should not be a problem exposing it though - most 
mail servers are built to do just that. As the administrator it's your 
obligation to keep the stuff updated so that any security holes are 
fixed before too late.


I should have mentioned that the O'Reilly book takes you quite a long 
way - after all, we are cousins.

Wayne,

If you've been using FreeBSD in production for five years, you are probably 
well beyond any O'Reilley offering, imho.

We can all benefit by (yet) another look at "man ," and that's probably 
gonna be your most productive resource, since it will allow you to address 
your specific issues without having to read any ol' dumbed-down version of 
the documentation :)

As for DNS issues, my thought is that if your external DNS server works then 
leave it alone and implement a separate internal DNS server to handle your 
internal traffic.  Just start with the same configuration you have on 
external and tweak it as needed.  It doesn't have to be authoritative.  Also 
you are likely also running DHCP, which I'd recommend you move from your 
external DNS server to the new internal DNS server (if that is your current 
setup).

Usually 2 cents, but free for you!

You can make your FreeBSD servers your DNS servers and configure them to 
look upsteam to your ISP's DNS servers for servers not known.


I prefer to buy and use printers with built-in networking that support PCL 
and Postscript.  So clients can just send jobs to those printers directly.

desktop application for cataloging books, DVD, ...

[Matthias Apitz]

Hi,

I need a small desktop application for cataloging my books and DVD at
home in FreeBSD. I tried to port mcatalog from the ports in 6.0R,
which is old and marked as broken; I've fetched the sources from the
master side, which has version 0.2 already, but this does not configure
on my 6.0R depending on newer gtk stuff, the 0.1 is broken in
the Makefiles and sources aswell;

So, is there any other small cataloging application for FreeBSD?
Thx

Re: Good networking books for a beginner?

[James Long]

Somewhere I seem to recall having read an RFC which is a primer
on IP basics.  I remember especially liking the sections where
it described the the inter-relationships between the network mask,
the role that ARP plays, and the use of routing.

Darned if I can find such a thing now, though.  If anyone knows
what this was, I'd appreciate a pointer.  The plain-text, Courier-font
layout sticks in my head, which is what makes me think it was an
RFC that I saw, put I can't find it in a brief search on rfcs.org.

Thanks, Although it seems to get mixed reviews...
Everyone says it isn't for beginners and some flat out
blast the book. The biggest problem they say is it
reads like a specification manual. I write specs at
work so thats not a big deal to me, and nothing is
more fun then looking through the IBC or NEC...

I understand the basics of object oriented
programming, classes, constructors, destructors but
the syntax and semantics keeps me from writing C++
now...

Does the book read like a specification manual or a
tutorial? Honestly I would almost prefer the
specification manual, I hate getting talked down
too... But on the other hand incomprehensible specs
aren't too good either.

When I did an ADA course, Barnes's "Programming in Ada 95" was the standard 
text. That was about 8 years ago, but it's gone to a second edition since 
then.

that is one of the things I wanted to know how to do
properly... This is Just O'Rielly; Bind or is it one
of those in a nutshells books. Just want to make sure
before I pick up the wrong one. I trust it covers
version 9? if you don't mind and can remember when you
get back to the office can you send the ISBN just in
case I need to order it.

or a quick search on Amazon came up with
DNS and Bind 5th edition
by Cricket Lui and Paul Albitz
O'Reilly Publishing

is this the one your refering too?

I'm pretty sure it does, but my copy is at the office so I can't say for sure. 
However, the book  is VERY detailed about all aspects of bind. It really is a 
must read for anyone serious about running nameservers. For example, it shows 
you how to split the nameserver so you can resolve your entire inside lan, 
but outside it will only resolve the servers you choose. It's also is very 
detailed about how to set up dynamic hosts.

thanks, thats the one I was looking for and certain
I'd scene before but no luck tonight. ofcourse I had
no trouble finding the complete freebsd tonight which
is what took me hours to find last time amungst the
books on bind...

the luck of the irish is a lie...

does that book cover running bind within a jail? or
just the general configuration of the service?

I can't help you with ADA, but the O'Reilly book on bind is the best one. 
Borders can order it and get it to you in a couple of days. They even get 
them that fast up here in Alaska.

Good References and or Books for learning ADA

[backyard]

Hello All,

I'm looking to teach myself ADA using the Gnu Compiler
Collection and GNATS as my compiler under an i386
FreeBSD 6.X system. I'm just curious if any ADA
programmers out there can point me to some decent
books/online resources for learning the basics and
more advanced aspects of ADA. They would be most
useful if they referenced ADA95 as that appears to be
the standard gnats supports.

 I would also be interested in resources that describe
integrating (I guess linking is more appropriate of a
term) C/C++ libraries with ADA. This would mostly be
for basic use with X Windows and Motif, GTK, or
whatever makes the windows looks nice when I get that
far, and OpenGL rendering, and likely ATLAS for
crunching numbers. Unless there exists some ADA
libraries for any of the above.

I went to Borders today and couldn't find anything and
a search online would comes up with millions of books
that may or may not be useful. 

I guess I shouldn't be too supprised I couldn't even
seem to find a book on Bind at Borders...

thanks,

-brian

An online article that I found quite helpful was Daryl's TCP/IP Primer
http://www.ipprimer.com/overview.cfm

I was quite surprised by how much detail was there when I started actually
following along with its tutorial style.

For me, the old standby is "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig Hunt 
(aka the "crab book"). Published by O'Reilly. I learned a lot from it.


Seconded.

This is probably the single most useful O'Reilly book for general 
networking/sysadmin tasks, and it includes some chapters or appendices on 
NFS/NIS, BIND, sendmail, and other common services that are very informative 
in addition.

Internet Core Protocols : The Definitive Guide is pretty good too for a
more quantifiable analysis of networks than the Computer Networks : A
Systems Approach book is in some ways. Maybe you should read this book
after you read Computer Networks : A Systems Approach?

I found "Computer Networks: A Systems Approach" a really good reference (still 
use it from time to time). It's a bit pricey, but you can probably find a 
used copy on Amazon.

Right.  The -M option isn't compatible with compression.  I get around
that by making a backup to a staging area on disk, and then using
split(1) to chop it into pieces.  If you're keeping it on the server
anyway, there's no reason to break it into pieces.

I suspect I don't understand quite what you were trying to say; if I'm
too far off, please ask a more specific question.

Just read the script; it is quite clear about needing Gnu tar.  
In FreeBSD 5.3, that's available as /usr/bin/gtar, but in the future
you may need to install it as a port.

i found this document to be both particularly helpful and extremely free. 
the ideas are clearly expressed and the text thoughtfully written.  it was
one component of the training given to internet technicians at a canadian
telco for which i once worked.

http://www.3com.com/other/pdfs/infra/corpinfo/en_US/501302.pdf

you can get through this document in 1-2 days, if you apply yourself.  it
also includes several exercises, which i highly recommend doing (and more
than once).  what is it again, adult learners tend to retain:

 10% of what they read
 20% of what they hear
 30% of what they see
 50% of what they see and hear
 70% of what they talk over with others
 80% of what they use and do in real life
 95% of what they teach someone else to do

whatever.

hope this helps.

Here are a few...

This one covers the OSI model, media and others...looks interesting:

and this to due with subnetting etc...subnetting is the most confusing, so
if you use it extensively in your environment, it may be a valuable asset

I would have trouble picking just one.  I have four plus print out
chunks of the handbook at times.Each has something going for it
such as friendly readable language, or higher definition detail
or structuring for task oriented layout so you can look up what
thing you want to accomplish and find a fair explanation of what
different steps are needed.

The Annelise Anderson book, FreeBSD an Open Source Operating System,

Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas

The FreeBSD unleashed book from SAMs 

Someone has walked off with my copy of The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey
but it has good man page/handbook kind of detail.

All have their value.   I rummage through all of them for some things.

But, none of the books, handbook or stuff I get from the search 
engines (Google and whatever) does a good enough job on the disk
access, formatting (why not?) slicing, partitioning, superblocks -
why so many, isn't just a waste of time - MBRs, boot blocks, the
detailed step by step process of booting,  and since all that stuff 
is really at a low lever, bit and byte fields in those things and 
how the system really uses them and which ones if doesn't bother 
with, etc.Some of that including a little bit of the bit and byte
stuff is in various of the books and in the handbook, but nowhere 
have I found a complete definition of the whole thing.

If someone who really understands that stuff cold could write a
readable description of the whole thing it would be very helpful
to me.   From the frequent questions I see on the lists about
these things, I think some others would appreciate it too.

First, you the handbook available both via www and on your local 
FreeBSD-installation (/usr/share/doc). If you feel like getting a printed 
book, I can recommend "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. 
It is rather expensive for my taste ($ 45,-), but if you plan to work with 
FreeBSD professionally or for a longer time, it's definitely a worthy 
investment. 
I for one just like having printed books handy, in case my computer really 
freaks out and leaves without access to the handbook in html-format.

The handbook.

Best part is, it's free. And it's up-to-date. And it's official.

Yes, we announced that on this list (doc@) about a year ago.  I worked
with them for about 6 months, sent them the artwork for the English
edition, etc.  Bob Bruce met with Tommy Liu of PT Press in Beijing,
and I even got a nice Christmas card out of the deal. ;)

The Handbook translation is half as thick as our English version
because they used thinner paper.  The book is available for
approximately 5 USD in Hong Kong and the mainland.  If you haven't
seen a physical copy I can show you one at BSDCon.

If you are really interested in C++, I would recommed Stanley Lipman's 

C++ Primer 

as a place to start. Also, for more advanced examples,idioms, etc... I would 
definitely recommend Scott Meyers books as well as anything by Jim Coplien 
and Lipmans Inside the C++ Object Model.

I have both of these books and they are excellent for people new tp 
programming. The most recent edition of the C book is not recommended, 
though, as they piled a bunch of Java crap in the end of it. Also, the 
earlier editions of the C book wasted chapters at the end with a C++ 
intro. Given that you'll always resort to K&R (below) once you know the 
language, I would save your money and either (1) buy the K&R book alone or 
(2) buy a cheaper intro like one of the SAM's C in 21 Days books. I liked 
the Dietel books when I got them in college, but have found them to be 
less than useful since I've been working. 

> and:

K&R is indispensible. Can't comment on the C++ book as I do mostly 
embedded work and have no use for C++ :-)

Also, never underestimate the power and utility of the (excellent) FreeBSD 
man pages.

Books (OT)

[Frank Heitmann]

Hi.

I have used FreeBSD for about 6-7 weeks now (great system; I have
to admit that I like UNIX much more than Windows) and now that I
got a little better with the system in general I wanted to start
to program for it, so that I will hopefully be able to help.

But as I read through some code I noticed that my C/C++ needs some
refreshment and improvement (especially OOP) first. (I haven't really
programmed for a year or so, because I first started to study Physics,
before I realized that Computer Science (or "Informatik" here in
Germany) is what interests me much more. Before that I have programmed
a lot for Windows.)

The books I have looked at are:
C How To Program
C++ How To Program (both from Prentice Hall/Deitel)
and:
C Programming Language (K&R)
C++ Programming Language (Stroustrup)

The two from Deitel look very good to me (I like the summary and
exercises at the end of each chapter and I like the whole layout).
The last two also seemed to be very good, but I believe they are
more useful as a reference than for learning?!

Maybe someone has them on his/her bookshelf and can give a comment?

Oh, and sorry for being off-topic, but these mailinglists have
rapidily become my only connection to the outside world :)

P.S. I have just seen in the handbook that there is a book "The
Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Unix Operating System".
Is it useful in connection with the "Developers Handbook" to
understand kernel internals?
(Hey, I am at least not absolutly off-topic now :)

Cheers,
Frank
