[stupid question] setting env variables globally
Is there any way to set the default value of a enviromental variable globally. Specifically I want JAVA_VERSION to default to 1.6 unless the user sets it other wise. By global I mean no matter how something is invoked (command line, script, GUI, IPC trigger, etc.) if it checks the value of the var it gets the same value (and I want to do this system wide) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Depending on exactly how and when (and from where) a process is started this might not work, but is probably the best that can be done without hacking the kernel source code. A process normally inherits the environment from its parent process. When a process calls some of the exec(3) functions to start a new program it can also provide a completely new environment which can be completely independent of the parent's. The settings in login.conf(5) only (AFAICT) affects processes whose ancestry can be traced back to a login(1) instance, and where the environment hasn't been changed along the way. This should cover most of the processes you are interested in but perhaps not quite all of them. If you really want *all* processes to have a certain environment variable set to a given value you will have to modify the execve(2) system call. I don't recommend doing this unless you know *exactly* what you are doing and the possible consequences thereof. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

SMTP stupid question
Hi all Well I've very classic question but google/mail-archive don't give me a answer. I want to configure a FreeBSD box without sendmail-daemon but I want all all mail sent to my smtp-server. For that I put sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES I'm change in my /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc the ligne FEATURE(`msp', `[the_adresse_of_my_smtp_server]')dnl use make;make install to build the good sendmail.cf But I think that's not a good solution. Because : 1/ It's work only for root (I'v got a message about permission when I try to send a email when I'm not root) 2/ My smtp-server try to re-send to me the email to root (example for cron message etc. is send to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I forget to tell I'm not controling the smtp-server.

It's quite possible to mount two different (or even the same) disk partitions on the same mountpoint. It would certainly be a valid thing to do if the union flag were specified. Otherwise, I strongly suspect that only the last disk mounted will be written to, but you could create a file under /home and see what grows with df. I suggest pointing ad0s1g at /home2 (which you'll have to create) then umount /home twice, then mount /home and /home2. Or, instead of /home2 perhaps /usr/local, but you'd have to go via a temporary mountpoint and copy existing /usr/local to it. Finally (or do nothing but) complain! I've seen worse. The last (Linux) colo we got, had 60+Gb for /var and 5Gb for /home - completely backwards! --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is that even possible ? Another possibility is to create a metaport, that depends on other ports. I call mine my-workstation, and I have created it under /usr/ports/misc/my-workstation. The purpose of this port is not to build anything or install anything of its own; just to have proper dependencies for all the programs I usually want around. The Makefile of that port includes: # Feature customization for the `contained' ports. .MAKEFLAGS+=WITHOUT_X11=YES \ ISPELL_FR=YES \ ISPELL_IT=YES \ WITH_SSL=YES These flags are passed down to all the dependencies of the port, when it's installed. This way, all the ports that my-workstation pulls in by dependencies will compile without X11 support, ispell will include both Italian and French support, Pine will have SSL support compiled in by default, etc. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

First, next time choose a better subect. Nearly every original post is a question. Sorry about this. Use portupgrade, from the ports tree. Then you can do portupgrade imapd to update it, and it'll look in $(PREFIX)/etc/pkgtools.conf to see what settings you want to use. Hum I can't find anything to resolve my problem within that file. Thanks anyway. ANTOINE To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Well, besides some settings, I put WITH_DRAC=yes... I just tried rebuiding textproc/ispell with ISPELL_FR=yes in my make.conf file. Ports correctly tries to build ispell with French OK, I'll give a nother try... Another possibility is to create a metaport, that depends on other ports. I call mine my-workstation, and I have created it under /usr/ports/misc/my-workstation. The purpose of this port is not to build anything or install anything of its own; just to have proper dependencies for all the programs I usually want around. The Makefile of that port includes: Well, this does not sound like an easy solution to deploy. Thanks a lot.

Quoting the comments in my copy of that file:
# MAKE_ARGS: hash
#
# This is a hash of ports glob = arguments mapping. portupgrade(1)
# and portinstall(1) look it up to pick command line arguments to
# pass to make(1). You can use wildcards (ports glob). If a
# port/package matches multiple entries, all the arguments are
# joined using the space as separator.
#
# cf. -m/--make-args of portupgrade(1), ports_glob(1)
#
# e.g.:
# MAKE_ARGS = {
# 'databases/mysql323-*' = 'WITH_CHARSET=ujis',
# }
That looks like exactly what you're looking for.

Sorry, I didn't see it... Well, this is great ;-)
It only work for portupgrade though, right ? There's no other place to save
those args... like an /etc/make.ports.conf ?
Thank you so so much...

/etc/make.conf
will work, but it will define whatever you set for *everything* you do
with make... works for me though (I set all the various LITE and
WITHOUT_X11 stuff that ports seem to check for)
