Mirror Freebsd - Doubts

2010-08-29 Thread Felipe Agnelli Barbosa
I am wanting to mount a mirror, to place repositories of debian / ubuntu,
because many machines in my company update the repositories and doing so
will improve the process performance.
However, I do this in FreeBSD (with spegla, ftpmirror ...), and was
wondering if it is possible, if not I will take issue with that.
I'm new here on the list, so excuse me if the correct place to ask that is
not here.

Grateful for the cooperation,


Felipe

 Grateful for the cooperation,

Sure, this is certainly possible with FreeBSD.  You can run a FTP mirror
on it quite happily.  That's the sort of thing that would work pretty
well on any unixoid system to be frank, so your choice of FreeBSD might
need justifying by some external criterion: FreeBSD runs ZFS, We get
better network performance with FreeBSD or even I'm the sysadmin
around here, and I like FreeBSD, so nyer.

Check the ports for ftp mirroring programs.  Both the ones you mention
are available.

Another approach is to use a caching proxy -- squid will do this for ftp
URLs, as will apache (using mod_proxy).  You can even be completely evil
and set it up as a transparent proxy with a little work.  The advantage
of using a caching proxy is that over time it will pretty much auto-tune
itself to contain the distfiles your users are interested in without
your having to have any prior knowledge.

Cheers,

Matthew

doubts regarding System Initialization working (SYSINIT)

2009-01-14 Thread Mehul Chadha
Hello all,
I have been browsing through the FreeBSD kernel's source
code trying to understand its working .

In the mi_startup() in /sys/kern/init_main.c all the SYSINIT objects are
sorted using bubble sort and then they are executed in order.

My doubt is that we have declared the pointer to the struct sysinit as const
pointer to a const in the macro definition of SYSINIT ie  when the macro

SYSINIT(kmem, SI_SUB_KMEM, SI_ORDER_FIRST, kmeminit, NULL)  is expanded
completely we get the following

static struct sysinit kmem_sys_init = { SI_SUB_KMEM, SI_ORDER_FIRST,
(sysinit_cfunc_t)(sysinit_nfunc_t)kmeminit, ((void *)(((void *)0))) };
static void const * const __set_sysinit_set_sym_kmem_sys_init
__attribute__((__section__(set_ sysinit_set))) __attribute__((__used__))
= kmem_sys_init;

Here we see that the pointer is of type const and to a const but when we
sort
and swap using
  *sipp=*xipp;

We are trying to change the address of const pointer to a new address in
which case it should segfault but it works fine.

Why does it not segfault it seems I have not understood the concept behind
using const *const... I will be very thankful if you can help me with it.


Regards,
Mehul

There is so much history it would take you several days to read it all.
Just look for stuff on 'Beastie' or 'Bsd' or other variations of
spelling on it and also look for BSD daemon.There is stuff in
the list archive and on the FreeBSD web site and on various online
publications.   There are links to information and copyright information
on the FreeBSD web site.

There will also probably be loads of people replying to tell you
that it is not a devil but a character representing a daemon that
is a helpful sprite and that it is not a logo, but a mascot.

You can also buy stickers and plush toys, etc at bsd mall and
probably other places.

Hi guys
This is Anirban. I have a doubts on the following question.

How to write a shell program that will check whether a server is up or down
(on ping) and log the report to a file.
 

You may be wondering why no-one is replying to you and the main reasons 
would be:


   1) You show no evidence of even having *tried* to write something.  
If you'd said I did X but it didn't work then maybe some kind soul 
would have helped you out.  All you are asking is for someone else to 
write your script for you.


   2) It's pretty clear that you know next to nothing about shell 
scripting, in which case you should do what everyone else who has needed 
to write shell scripts has done:

  a) Buy a book or
  b) study some examples of which there must be hundreds on your 
FreeBSD installation or

  c) get someone to teach you or
  d) search google for tutorials

   And always, always, always read the manual pages.

Here's a quick sh script for you.  You can figure out how to do the 
redirection and how to run it from cron.
 


$ for host in host1 host2
 do
 if ping -c 1 $host 21  /dev/null
 then
 echo $host: UP
 else
 echo $host: DOWN
  fi
 done
host1: DOWN
host2: UP


You might also consider nagios from the ports but it may be far more 
than you want.  With the limited information you provided about why you 
want to do this, no-one will ever know.

Hello Anirban,
What exactly do you want? You want a shell script to take tar backups of 
all the user directories or that of a particular user? I also do not 
understand why you are providing login information to your system. 
Thirdly that IP is a non routable IP address and is not accessible from 
outside. So that is of no use.


Thanks
S.

 2- For instance if I'm just interested in

 commenting the ports-all line and comment out

 3- I don't have the /usr/ports/net-im folder, Can
 I add the line ports-net-im, to download his

FWIW I suggest you keep the whole collection because once you have it set up
it does not take much time to keep the collection up to date because the
ports does not include the pkg.

I STONGLY suggest you read the handbook. Then, read it again.
Then once more for good measure.

CVS is NOT hard IF you take the time to READ and LEARN.

If however you don't want to take the time to read, learn and understand
- then stick with the packages.

You are the type of user that will download a tarball, try to install
it, then complain that it don't work. Never mind the fact that you have
packages and ports.

You will be the user that EXPECTS everything you download, to run
automagically without an ounce of knowledge of how to use the powerfull
OS and it's tools you seemed to have muddled through installing, right
at your fingertips.

I hate users looking for the shortcuts.

Funny. I didn't see that at all in the original email.  What I saw was a 
genuine misunderstanding.


He was asking about using CVSUP to track ports on a one by one basis. 
What he didn't understand is that a person really wants to CVSUP the 
whole ports tree.  It's a fair misunderstanding if one starts with an 
FTP-ish RPM-ish mindset.  John Chen's answer was appropriate.


To Efren I add the following.  You may also want to read up on 'refuse' 
files as documented in the cvsup(1) man page.  I don't recommend using 
them though.


Later,

Strange as his style may seem, he is 100% right about one thing:
You should definitely take the time to read the relevant Handbook
sections.  Especially the parts that describe The Ports and the
Packages.

If you still have questions after reading the relevant Handbook
bits, then please feel free to ask here for any details.

Only the ports skeleton is updated. If you want to update/upgrade
your installed ports, you have to use something like
sysutils/portupgrade.

 2- For instance if I'm just interested in

It's always safer to use ports-all, as most ports have dependencies on
ports outside its immediate tree. If you don't update all dependancies
you almost always have trouble building your desired port.

Cheers.

I don't quite understand what you want.  The format of a line in a
crontab file is as follows.  There are five columns that specify the
time to run the job at:

Minutes  Hours  Day of Month   Month  Day of week 

59   23  *  *  *   /path/to/script  

Would run /path/to/script every day at 11:59 pm.  If what you want to
do is only run it on tuesday, 

59 23   *  *  2   /path/to/script 

The utility to install crontabs is called crontab.  The format of
entries is defined in the crontab(5) man page.  'man 5 crontab' will
allow you to read that.

IE: if you need to cat the /var/log/auth.log

/bin/cat /var/log/auth.log

Same as any other *nix operating system. Basically just follow the
installation instructions with the program. Common basic ones are...

untar it
tar -zxf file.tar.gz
cd into the extracted dir
cd file/
run the configure script if there is one.
./configure
and compile it with make or if necessary gmake
make


But, if a program is in the ports tree you are better off using 
that unless
you have specific reason not to.


Most of the time - there are some ports that the authors make
very strange decisions on, though.  (ever tried the dspam port?)

RE: doubts on FreeBSD

2005-11-22 Thread simon butsana
Hi,
   
  copy the tar ball somewhere, and decompress it using
   
  tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
   
  Usually a directory with name filename will be created and you need to go 
there using
   
  cd filename
   
  There you usually find a file README or INSTALL with all necessary 
instructions. You can read the README or INSTALL file by typing 
   
  cat README | more   (or cat INSTALL|more)
   
  Basically the minimu set of instructions will be (after the cd filename)
   
  make
  make install
   
  Enjoy
   
  Simon

Some doubts to start

2005-07-05 Thread Efren Bravo
Hello list, 

How you will realize I'm new in unix. I've been reading about freeBSD 
and I wish to know what is the meaning of: 

1-Font Server. 
2-NFS Server and NFS Server 
3-Ports 

From freeBSD can I start a graphical environment like KDE and GNome. 
Which of them would be recommended? 


Best regards

A font server is what it sounds like.  It is a daemon that runs in a
centralized location where you can install fonts and serve them out to
multiple networked clients.

A NFS server is a file server similar to MS Windows file sharing.  NFS
is in common use on Unix.

Ports are a collection of 3rd party packages that you can compile and
install via pre-written scripts on BSD.  Generally you download a
ports tree which is a directory tree full of these scripts.  You
find the one you want to install, cd to it's directory and type
something like make  make install and it is downloaded compiled
and installed in an automated fashion.

There is more information on all of these things in the online FreeBSD
handbook found here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Enjoy!

In FreeBSD 5.4, Gnome contains more localization features than KDE, at
least for my native language. For example in Gnome I can tell it to
display menus etc in my language whereas in KDE I can't.

read

You will also need to edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment this line:

You may want to look at 'ssh' - it is used in the same
way as telnet; i.e. 'ssh hostname' and is more secure.

For telnet; edit /etc/inetd.conf - and uncomment the line with telnet
(remvoe the #) and either send a kill -1 to the inetd application (ensure
rc.conf contains inetd_enable=YES) or reboot.

See the chapter on inetd in:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

for more details.

 2. How to use ethereal to capture network packet on freebsd 4.7 ?

See the chapter 'packages and ports' in

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

for details on hwo to install etherreal and then do a

man ethereal

for details on ethereal its use. See the chapter on Network Interface
cards in

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

for details on your network cards (the interface you are referred to in
the above 'man ethereal' page).

Configuring a Kernel (doubts)

2003-08-10 Thread Paredes Sánchez Martín A.

Hi:

When installing FreeBSD, in the Kernel Configuration Menu I select the
full-screen visual mode because I want to disable all the SCSI
controllers (only have IDE drives) and the PC-card controller (it is not
a lap top). 

am I building a new kernel?, so the next reboot I have the same
configuration.

What files are modified? Since I don't see this changes reflected in
/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

As you can see, I want a personalized kernel, also want this PC to have
X-Windows and the ability to be upgraded.

The question is:

Do I need to install kernel sources or full sources?

No, you're not.  You could do that if you wanted, so that the unused
drivers would not be in the kernel at all, but it doesn't matter much.

 What files are modified? Since I don't see this changes reflected in
 /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

You're not modifying the kernel itself; you're configuring the one you
already have.  If you do this through the system install, the changes
should get saved to /boot/kernel.conf.

 As you can see, I want a personalized kernel, also want this PC to have
 X-Windows and the ability to be upgraded.

I don't think you really need a personalized kernel, although it might
save a bit of wasted RAM.  Running X and upgrading should be
unaffected either way.

 The question is:
 
 Do I need to install kernel sources or full sources?

For an upgrade, you need full sources.  For a customized kernel, you
need the kernel (system) sources.  To disable the devices mentioned,
you don't need either.  And to make matters even simpler, you probably
don't even need to configure your kernel -- it will probably work fine
as it comes right out of the install.
