Re: who do I report this to?
Can you please STOP cross posting to various mailinglists all at once? It is causing all kinds of unneeded messages to various addresses (yeah I am now guilty of that as well); stop it. If you have issues with if_re, please ask it's maintainer for support, and rule that out first and then proceed to the next item if the problem still continues, generating loads of emails with "my " content which includes "but this and this and this and this might also be the combination" etc is NOT going to help resolve this because the options are too legio (could be the software, could be your hardware, could be a user flaw, could be the remote switch etc). Please do it step by step with the maintainers as much as possible, and where possible please try to avoid overloading the mailinglists with things you run into on a day by day basis, personally I find it not very interesting to read them anymore because "its just another thing", that might not be the thing we are persuing here, but with all of your emails, I do get this feeling. //Remko On Tue, November 20, 2007 8:11 am, Aryeh M.

There might be reasons for packages not being built, sometimes it's an license issue, sometimes the package does not build etc. It's not something that you can demand that you need a package that it gets there.

Then apparantly there is no need for your idea and it will not get implemented. Stating that a package is missing, soit, we build packages all the time and as said there are reasons for some ports not being build into packages etc. First investigate that before complaining this loud.

Re: FreeBSD weakness.
Lloyd Hayes wrote: I finally decided that I needed to get more information on FreeBSD. I got it up and running, then I did something else and I start getting errors again So I just ordered 3 books on FreeBSD from Amazon. In most of the reviews posted there about the books, people were complaining about weak documentation, too much information about things that they were not interested in, and errors in the in the books which seems to be the most common complaint. In my very short recent history with FreeBSD, I've formed the opinion that documenting FreeBSD is it's greatest weakness. FreeBSD needs someone who can actually type to write a good book for beginners who have never seen UNIX code. A book is needed with examples that actually WORK! Examples that are explained in plain English. There seems to be very few books on FreeBSD around. I have decided that it is a very good operating system which I need to learn more about. And yes, I have all of the links that everyone sent me. Thanks for all of the info. Hi Lloyd, Welcome to the FreeBSD Questions Mailinglist! We try to help persons who have issues with their installations, etc. And you are one of those persons we want to try and help. However, we can help you if you give more information, what errors do you get? Do you perhaps know what you did which caused those errors? From what moment did those errors arise? What links did you get? Did people refer to the handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html or the faq? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html or where? And what books did you order? Perhaps they are outdated, or not very up to date anymore. What version are you running? Oh, and you can contribute, read the handbook and faq, and create some articles, which you think need to be linked with freebsd so that anyone can use them. You can find more information for that here: http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/index.html I hope this helped a little, Cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reporter DSINet|[EMAIL PROTECTED] Projectleader Mostly-Harmless |[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Partition sizes for small harddisk
Hi Mark, 852 MB should be enough. Go with a "Custom" installation, and you'll need to be utterly ruthless about not installing unneeded distribution sets. "Custom" installation scares me a little, as I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I will try and read docs and probably start over lots of times (which is fine with me). When I really get stuck can always ask again :-) regards Mark I installed a custom NetBSD version on a 420megabyte harddisk, and installed numberous FreeBSD installations (from 4.3 if i recall correctly) on a 1.2gb harddisk. With those two numbers i can figure you can install a minimum install of FreeBSD on your disk, and add some nice little features (the 420mb disk was running a firewall,dnsserver and a passthrough mailserver (With some low end checks that i didn't want to have on the actual mailserver behind it). This box also was a Sniffer in my network for extented period of time, logging everything to a SQL box behind it (on the management network ofcourse) , it had a lot of traffic passing through but it managed to work. So, the install size will be ok i think, your only issue might indeed be running into steps that might confuse you, reading the docs and asking us are good options.

However i am running FreeBSD 5.x as production server in 2 colocated boxes without any problems. So it does not mean that it's crashing all the time, but there might be bugs that can cause downtime for your customer, and he should be willing to risk that problem if you want to upgrade to 5.x. If he prefers stablitity, and little downtime you do best to upgrade to the latest 4 release with patches.

OT: Postfix virtual setup with procmail delivery for one specific virtual domain
Hello,
I know that this question is OffTopic. Still i want to ask it to you
guys since the host system is FreeBSD.
I have implemented Postfix/SASL2/MySQL/Courier-Imap/Amavisd-new on my
FreeBSD mailserver.
Now i am migrating my mailserver to another host {still my own host} and
i take the maildomain of a friend along. So that means my current setup
will be expanded by his domain.
Currently i am using virtual delivery (transport elvandar.org virtual:)
so it gets dropped in the mailpath i designated in the MySQL backend.
Besides that i have mailman running on my machine, providing
mailarchives {no subscriptions etc} for $internet (local delivery).
So far so good..
Now the new maildomain used procmail as delivery agent and he wants to
use that again (filters and so on). With the current virtual setup that
is not possible i think, so i think i need to create a master.cf line
using procmail delivery..
Since i make use of the maildir format , procmail should be doing that,
and get his information from the MySQL db which tells it where to put
the email for that domain { i dont want that email to get in local
homedirs etc. }, and it should run as the postfix user since that is the
only one permitted to read from the maildir's specified in the named
MySQL db.
Does anyone know if that is possible?
Oh Procmail is used since it has some filters for the guy so his mail
gets sorted into some folders...

Re: BigApache for Windows - Why doesn't BSD have an installerpackage like this ???
n comment on lack of functionality of Cmd line whereis/search/find In gnome there is a find option that enables you to find files. And then there is find, which can do a lot more then you probably think now. I can tell you that 95% of people who use computers want "EASE of USE" - This INCLUDES easy installation of the Operating System Following the handbook makes FreeBSD installable by nearly anyone. - This should INCLUDE a default setup that HAS: a Default FAST GUI/File Manager/Find Files/Editor .. this is all that is needed to get a user up & going to installing & configuring the OS to thier tastes ... did I forget to mention as default AUTOMOUNT !! You should not shout that much, that's bad for your heart. FreeBSD has features that enable you to pick what you want as X-client (window manager), follow the handbook.. I cannot tell you the shock & disappointment I had in finding out that Windows 2000 runs FASTER than FreeBSD with any GUI/Windows Manager/Desktop Environment ... :((( Opinions, again i dont agree, and if you do find this i suggest you have some benchmarks with what applications run faster, etc. Since then you made a good point with some proof. ...damn I have gone way off track here... sorry for the ranting people... but after 6 days straight of messing around trying to install Apache/MySQL/Mod_Perl/Mod_SSL/PHP..

If you still think that it can be done better, you are free to alter things so that it can do what you wish, since you tell us that you are an experienced coder that should not be that hard.. Besides that: just ask us if something is weird for you, perhaps that's the same for others and we should improve our documentation, instead of ranting you can actually help us and others, in despite to windows in which that is very hard to do so.

You can however let your windows2k box route the FreeBSD machine to the internet so that it can obtain the latest revisions of the ports and sourcetree, as described in the handbook. This is probably not why xfce doesn't work though. The sysutils/xfce4-utils package installs a command called "startxfce4". AFAIK, this is the program that fires up xfce. When you install that package (as part of the dependency list of xfce4) you should be able to use xfce4 as your desktop by editing your ~/.xinitrc file and making sure that the last command it runs is: exec startxfce4 my .xinitrc file contains only the one line: -- exec startxfce4 -- & it still won't start. As I can't get it to start, I just delete this line using VI(I am getting better :) & replace it with "exec wmaker" which starts OK. Did you try to execute startxfe4 manually? Is it actually there? isn't it a glitch in a old version (Which you seem to refuse to update since it's not secure) ? check it out ! 3)I am trying to install Apachetoolbox-1.5.70(it may well be a BigApache for BSD :)) - but I get the errors "Command not found" trying to run it: This is not the proper way to install ports or packages in FreeBSD. Please, refer to the Handbook section on ports and packages for details. [snip irrelevant attempts to force bash to do something mysterious] Apachetoolbox is not an official freeBSD port/package(www.apachetoolbox.com). Its a script/ports pack that you run which creates all the scripts needed to install a large array of Apache & other www stuff(eg. MySQL etc). It's no ports pack, it's a set of scripts, which is not supported by FreeBSD, so when there is an leak, you should find out yourself and update it (instead of enable-ing one tiny little feature of the weekly scripts (400.status-pkg) which gives you an overview of outdated packages) besides that you should install portaudit which daily checks whether your applications are vulnerable to known issues. But that would be your own free choice. The install file that comes with it says to install it by running install.sh.

Re: private subsubdomains
The major exception is HTTP (and the various things that layer on top of it) which carries the target hostname as part of the protocol. Unfortunately, HTTPS leaves you back at square one since it uses SSL directly rather than via some form of STARTTLS negotiation that might be able to send the desired hostname. No it's not, HTTP points to a ip adres, the ip adres can have virtual hosts, it cannot send the request to pc1.my.domain.com if that matches or to pc2.my.domain.com This can be done if you use a Reversed Proxy or an Gateway which can make the decision to send it to host x when the HTTP/1.1 request is Host: host x Cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl A Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The kiddie had installed a new ls which didn't allow any switches. I imagine '-l' is needed for the suid check, so it fails and reports all the files as changing. I ran chkrootkit and it turned up nothing. The kiddie had also replaced several other programs (login and ps were among them) and turned off syslog.I'm lucky to have several other systems, so i was able to copy over known original versions of the system tools that were changed and get the machine secured before moving all the accounts and reinstalling. Bad move, backup important data and reinstall your host, you cannot tell which applications are affected or not (just spotted the obvious ones). If you intend to keep it running, well thats a security incident imho.

Re: have i been hacked?
Clint, I think you misread my message. Did "moving all the accounts and reinstalling" imply that I didn't do a reinstall? I simply copied over known original programs so I could make my backup and do some postmortem before reinstalling the system. As you say, who knows what other program were changed. I wanted to use known good binaries. My apologies, i indeed misread that part. I read it as "Overwritten the binary's with versions from other systems before i wanted to reinstall" with me that implied that you did not reinstall. Again, my apologies, Good job to reinstall (: -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl A Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hey Luke ooh ok well you don't have _any_ networking setup by the looks of things. Are you on cable or a LAN of some description? If so you will need to give your box some basic information edit /etc/resolve.conf and enter your NS details. Edit rc.conf and add information about IP address and default router and reboot and you should be good to go.

Re: What happened after gnome upgrade??
Thanks Mark - but I did run the gnome-upgrade.sh script provided off their site. It left a temp log file, which got erased when I rebooted. I'm wondering if I should try and run it again, and keep all the debug info this time? Maybe that would help me debug this problem... Has anyone else had this sort of...weird...glitch? Ralph I had also troubles upgrading gnome using the script. With me the /var/tmp files where saved (Why? dunno). It showed me what ports whacked the installation (wait 8 hours to see them, then wait another 8 to recompile everything again). I updated the offending ports manually with portupgrade, and deinstalled kopete which gave headache (2 times). After that, the install went smooth, took about 24 hours to run all the updates, manual portupgrade's remove the offending one, and startup gnome again.

Go to /var/log and check which files are a bit big and "rotate" them. You can do that by entering single user mode, mount the /var, go to /var/log, type `ls -lh' it gives you the filesizes Some file has to be what bigger then the rest, so we need to clean it a bit. Mount the /usr drive and create the directory /usr/tmp (since that drive has a lot of space left), now mv /var/log/$bigfilename /usr/tmp/ and touch /var/log/$bigfilename (So that it does exist). If you reboot now the system will come up and i guess that the things are starting to work again. The Failure of gnome is too less space on /var i think, The portsclean package? What's that?

Hey Roman, Roman Kennke wrote: Hi list, One thing, that is making me _not_ using FreeBSD is, that I see no way to easily upgrade from, say 5.1 to 5.2 (just an example), over network. I mean, I have a server running, to which I have no physical access. The only way to maintain it, is over SSH. The upgrade instructions in INSTALL.txt suggest putting in the CD, and using sysinstall for a binary upgrade. That is no option for me. What I am looking for is an upgrade method which - can be used over an SSH connection - is not too difficult (like manually placing each piece in the right place) - does not leave old stuff on the HD (like the sysinstall method does, AFAIK) ... to make it short, something like the ports system (especially portupgrade) does with non-system apps would be cool. I use CVSup to update my system and then rebuild as described in the /usr/src/Makefile file, (yeah yeah there is a UPDATING file on should follow), the only thing that i am not doing, since i dont have physical access as well, is boot into single user mode and run mergemaster, mostly i am keen of knowing what changes , so far on my 5.x servers there weren't any issue's requiring mergemaster to run. Apart from that i updated my systems many times, without being in single user mode, with an ssh connection. Hope this helps a bit.. ow yeah /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui is where the cvsup lives :) Cheers Is there a way to achieve that? This would be the one bit, which would make me switch to FreeBSD. /Roman -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: cvsup vs portupgrade
Stephen, Stephen Liu wrote: Hi folks, I am still not very clear on the function between # cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile and # portupgrade -aRr I have following questions; 1) What will be their diffenece in function 2) If having run # cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile # cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile Whether I still need to run # portupgrade -aRr Yes you can do this, since cvsup retrieve's the latest sources for the ports and basesystem, while portupgrade actually uses those sources and installs them on your system.. Thus: You should first update your sources through cvsup, and then install them , or upgrade them via the ports system, or using portupgrade (For the upgrade).

But i do know that postfix can change it's mailqueue dir..It's a setting grep '/var' main.cf :-) and change that to your new directory. At least that is what i did and it worked. Since i am at work i cannot provide a example, but if you wish, i can send you that later today.

Re: can I reinstall make?

At the moment the machine is still fulfilling its main function as a gateway to the Internet for the Windows machines in our student computer lab, but I fear for the future. How can I be sure the problem is really with 'make' and how can I fix the problem if it is? It seems that it can't interpret the Makefile enough, or that there is a dependency which has a missing }. Did you try updating the ports sources via cvsup? If not, perhaps you can try that so you will have latest ports sources, which might have this issue corrected. If not, you can also go to the ftp servers of freebsd, and download the /distfile you need (automake and autoconf for example) and install them with pkg_install That way you have a precompiled binary, which you can use, so that perhaps the issue goes away.
