Being a cvsup server, I always have the freshest source, so for example, if I wanted to update sendmail, I could easily cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail, make install, killall -HUP sendmail and I am done. So, I am trying to do that for my good friend sshd. It works great, and puts the new fresh binary where its supposed to be. So whats the problem? For starters, and I think I know the answer to this one but please confirm in your reply, The port version of it puts a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ to start it with the system. Do I remove that, and simply add, sshd_enable=YES to rc.conf like almost everything else? (I think so.) And the REAL problem is when I do perform a make install for sshd, its putting the new binary where it belongs fine, but /etc/ssh is EMPTY. Thus, the server wont start. I have looked *everywhere* (except where I need to be looking.) Where can I get those config files from? Thanks! I think you have pretty much a workable plan. You don't say whether you've got console access to this machine -- I assume you do, by reading between the lines, and that makes doing this modification a lot easier. To answer you questions: Yes, you should remove the .../etc/rc.d script used to start up the port version of sshd. Generally a port will install a sample version of any sort of config file which you should copy into place and edit to enable the service. That's so that a package update *won't* trash your current setup, but if you're going to eradicate the package entirely, then you'll have to delete those files by hand. Yes, enable the base version of sshd by adding the variable assignments to /etc/rc.conf, like all system daemons. The contents of /etc/ssh can mostly be copied from the port's version in /usr/local/etc/ssh -- one thing that will be particularly handy to copy over are the host public and private keys. If you don't copy these from /usr/local/etc/ssh, then the next time you reboot the system new host keys will be automatically generated. That's fine and dandy, but any other machines that people have ssh'd into your system from will have cached a copy of the old public key, and seeing the new keys will cause them to emit all sorts of alarming security warnings. Once you've copied over what you want, run mergemaster to merge in any of the system specific differences in the config files -- I think that's pretty much just the 'VersionAddendum' in sshd_config.

JBoss3 Port on FreeBSD 4.8
Hello all, After searching for help/forums on the net, I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out why jboss3ctl start always gets stuck at the [WebService] Creating stage.

Re: dump, tar or pax?
Up 'till now I used dump/restore to make a backup of my system. Someone pointed out to me however that this was not the wisest thing to do, given the fact that is is a level-0 dump so it needs to be restored onto a clean (newfs) filesystem. Somebody is confused or confusing you. The man page is also misleading on this. You can restore a level 0 dump anywhere - preferably an empty directory.Just go where there is room. - do a mkdir - cd in to the new directory - do restore -xf restore_device where restore_device is wherever you will read your level 0 dump from. - answer no when it asks to set ownership of .. Or you can selectively restore any individual file directory or group of files or directories from a leval 0 dump. - cd to the base of the filesystem that was dumped such as 'cd /usr' for a /usr dump - do restore ivf restore_device - cd around to find the files and/or directories you want to restore - type add file_name for each file or directory you want restored NOTE: restores of directories are recursive and get the directory and all its contents - Answer appropriately when it asks which tape to start on - probably 1 Although with multiple tape sets it can be faster to start with the last tape in the set It is only if you are trying to recreate a whole file system that you should create a new file system and newfs it before doing the restore. So, dump/restore is generally the best way to do backups and restores. Other utilities have quirks. The only problem with dump is that it must act on a whole file system. So, if you want to copy only one directory or a few files on to some media to transfer somewhere, then tar can be more useful. But, once the dump has been made, you can restore any combination of files and directories anywhere from that dump. No problem. The only other reason to resort to tar is if you are going from one OS to another. In many cases dump/restore gets picky going from one OS to another - and I don't mean FreeBSD 3.4 to FreeBSD 4.8. That works fine. I mean from SunOS to AIX or something like that. Tar seems more forgiving in those circumstances. ## dump -h0 -0f - /usr | ssh host cat /usr3/pooh/fbsd-usr.dump I generally use dd instead of cat, but essentially right. jerry I always thought having this backup was safe.

It's exactly the fact that you don't have a name like 'foo.bar.int' with dots in it, funnilly enough. sendmail(8) really, really wants to be able to look itself up in the DNS -- after all, in order for anyone to send you e-mail across the internet, you've got to be able to be found in the DNS... Now, clearly this is an internal mail server, so you don't actually need to enter your servers' name into any sort of DNS. (Although running an internal DNS is actually a pretty useful thing to do, and not as hard as you might think.) But you will need to invent a domain style name -- something like 'bsdsrv1.mydomain.internal' and enter that into /etc/hosts. You should put it on the same line as the 'bsdsrv1' -- something like: 192.168.0.1 bsdsrv1 bsdsrv1.mydomain.internal This will mean that your internal e-mails will default to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', but that is something you can tweak the sendmail configuration to change. Note that the hostname on Unix systems is not case sensitive, and is traditionally all lower case. It's also the case that the Netbios name that a windows machine may use need have nothing to do with the actual hostname, although it does get very confusing if you don't synchronise the different names.

You should not need to edit the /etc/printcap file either, you should edit your printer settings from the cups web admin. The steps I did to get cups working well with my HP PSC 2110 are: 1. install cups, foomatic-rip, hpijs from ports 2. download foomatic ppd for your printer from www.linuxprinting.org 3. put this in /usr/local/share/cups/model 4. make symbolic link for foomatic-rip to /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter #ln -s /usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip \ /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip 5. cd /usr/bin and mv lp utils lpr, lpq etc. as lpr.bak or whatever you like. 6. restart cupsd 7. setup your printer with cups (eg black and white, quality etc.) 8. Ok set to go (hopefully) :) There is a PR patch around I think which automates this for hpijs port, but it wasn't committed and doesn't apply cleanly anymore. -- Optimized, readable, on time; Pick any two.

Any idea?
It's broken with xmms-1.2.8. The patch that fixes this was committed 10
hours ago by edwin. Update your ports collection and give it a new try.
But, rather than work around your problem, try to solve it. Are you sure
your CD-ROM drive and sound chip are connected by audio cable?
After multiple checks and handlings of the analog cable, sounds from my
audio CD magically came to my ears; I'll change it ASAP since it seems
seriously corrupted.

MBR problem

ARP Question - Maybe?

I had this problem recently. Turns out that ipfw when used in
conjunction with bridging (net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1) that your
default rule must be to allow all. You can mitigate this by making your
last rule something like:
deny { tcp or udp } from any to any
This should basically block pretty much any traffic that you are
probably worried about. To test that this is the problem, disable the
firewall temporarily, maybe with something like:
# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=0
then try your network. if it works, the re-enable ipfw by setting the
above parameter back to 1. then take a look at your arp cache expiry
with `arp -an' and make note as to wether the net breaks again as soon
as the arp entry expires.
you can set ipfw to use a default rule of accepting by adding this
option to you kernel config:
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT

I know the basic concept, booting via an MBR installed with boot0cfg on a FreeBSD 5.1 system with XP in the first slice works, works. I did it just a couple of days ago. I do see a potential problem. The boot0 MBR will by default use the legacy CHS int-13 BIOS services, even if the extended services are available. (At least this is how I read the source code. This is contrary to at least some of the boot0/boot0cfg documentation.) Your XP slice is just a teensy bit larger than 1024*255*63 sectors long, pushing the bootstrap program in your FreeBSD slice just beyond the point at which it could be successfully loaded with a legacy int-13 disk read. If possible, do boot0cfg -v ad0 and see if the packet option is set. If not, see if setting it with boot0cfg -v -o packet ad0 fixes your problem. I expect that you are using a modern motherboard whose BIOS implements the modern EDDS int-13 disk functions, perhaps the Asus P4P800 you just mentioned in a previous posting to freebsd-questions. Caveat: I have not yet tried the boot0cfg packet option and don't know for sure that it works. I also wonder how the boot0 program worked for you before you installed XP. I gather that it did and that suggests your problem is something else. Still, it is worth a try.

In addition, I can't see how format=flowed can distinguish between computer output (which should be quoted unchanged, possibly with very long lines) and text, which RFC 2822 recommends to be 78 characters or less. It also makes it almost impossible to quote. So yes, it's disallowed in the sense that it's discouraged, and that a number of people, myself included, tend to delete such messages unread.

I've added it to http://.lemis.com/email/email-rfc.html. I suppose there are other places where I should refer to it as well. The nice thing about correctly-generated format=flowed text is that it looks just like regular text, so a MUA that doesn't understand flowed text can still display perfectly readable output. Paragraphs are wrapped at 72 chars, and a trailing space is added at the wrap point as a hint that the next line is a logical continuation. Lines not ending in a space are not flowed, so it's easy to specify what text will be flowed and what won't. Yes, if the MUA (and the user) adhere to the conventions. I've taken a look at the messages I've received recently with format=flowed, and they're all 80 characters long.

But as soon as I move the machine back, everything started to work okay except syslogd error message still would appear Any hints?
