Question on the IFS variable (not a FreeBSD question)
Hi, This isn't really a FreeBSD question. But I figure most people on this list would know the answer and so I'm asking. I've tried to get the answer out of Google, but I guess I am not asking it the right question and so not getting much hits. I understand that the default value of the IFS variable in bash is space, tab, newline. For a script I am playing around with, I want to change IFS to be just newline. I tried the obvious like IFS=\n -or- IFS='\n' but that doesn't seem to do the trick coz then the letter n ends up being the separator. A bit of Google searching got me the solution too. That I must set IFS this way: IFS=$'\n' I did that, and sure enough things work the way I want! So my question is this: how come things work when I set IFS to $'\n' instead of just plain '\n'? I don't recollect seeing such a way of setting variables before, and so I'm curious about it.

Yes, FreeBSD is Unix in all but name (the name is owned by someone else). Is is BSD UNIX as apposed to SVR4 or Linux family. 2. Can I install FreeBSD on Pentium PC that has 2 partition 1 has windows XP and 1 will have FreeBSD. Yes, that is called 'dual booting' and is covered in the FreeBSD handbook and in several FreeBSD books. By the way, each has to be what Microsloth calls Primary Partitions and FreeBSD calls slices. (Most of the FreeBSD correctly uses the term slice, but there are some parts that use the word 'partition' incorrectly where slice should be used) In FreeBSD a 'partition' is a subdivision of a slice. I just recently wrote a whole long response on this questions list about that and Jonathan Arnold posted it on his blog at: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/archives/000786.html 3. Is installation process easy? It is actually easy, but at first a little hard to get used to the process and terminology. So, the best thing to do is to read the FreeBSD Handbook and possibly get copies of one or two good FreeBSD books such as The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Leahy (available online) or FreeBSD Unleashed by Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann. The books cover the same material as the FreeBSD Handbook, but use some different ways of explaining things and examples so combining them can help understand the whole thing better. Then, just try it a few times. After doing it and seeing the process work and possibly making a few mistakes and recovering from them, the process begins to make more sense. Have fun, jerry - Yahoo!

You can learn about installing and using FreeBSD by reading the online handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Chapter 23 has sections for both FTP and Apache Web Server.

Yes, you can put ftp accessible areas and web pages on separate hard drives. This may get a little complicated if you're allowing users to both ftp to/from their home directories and have personal web pages in a public folder within their home directories.

You must have come accross the FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ when you visited the freebsd site and subscribed to the list - it tells you everything you need to know - or at least get started. Second, is it possible for me to use one hard drive and use it as a ftp server, and while using a secondary hard drive as a webserver for my niece on one computer? You can use one hard disk or as many as you can fit into your box. You don't need to keep the ftp server and web server on separate harddisks unless you don't have enough disk space. But, take it easy, don't try and do everything in your first install. I recommend you take one step at a time and get comfortable with where you got - it is easier to locate where something went wrong.

Postfix and FreeBSD question
Hello everyone. I am in the process of setting up a Mail server that will be running FreeBSD 4.9 and postfix. My question is that, by default, FreeBSD has sendmail up and running. I seem to vaguely remember that there were a few extra steps that were needed to remove and install postfix correctly. I quickly read a README_FILE for postfix, but it was not really clear. Thus, I was hoping to ask some questions here and get some additional feedback about this particular setup. I appreciate the help. Jason P.S. I am planning to install postfix through ports. :) mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I seem to vaguely remember that there were a few extra steps that were needed to remove and install postfix correctly. yes, there is. in /etc/rc.conf, disable sedmail by including this line: sendmail_enable=NONE this will disable sendmail's incoming and outgoing mailing functions. once you have postfix installed, my personal preference is to symlink /usr/local/sbin/postfix to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix (postfix binary accepts start/stop args in compliance with freebsd's rc architecture) rather than using the rc.conf to start postfix at boot time. you can use rc.conf by enabling sendmail but with different startup flags. during postfix port installation, you'll be prompted for the correct usage. the former method is perhaps more cleaner and less convoluting. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Postfix and FreeBSD question
P.S. I am planning to install postfix through ports. :) Fine :-) The port will do all the FreeBSD specific things for you (some are automated, for the others you get detailed instructions which you can re-read in either the pkg-message file in the port's directory). For the rest of the setup, you should consult the Postfix documentation and have a look at the example files: Pretty much everything is already there and merely needs to be modified or enabled by you.

Yes I believe the port does the correct things for you, but changing your MTA is also documented in the FreeBSD Handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html Cheers Andrew ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
