Re: CTM update from mail
I'm preparing to take a computer on the road with me where I won't have direct access to the internet, but will be able to receive e-mail on a different computer through a webmail interface. I intend to keep up to date using CTM, and have looked through the handbook but there seems to be an important part missing. I'm trying to figure out how to use updates received in the mail. The updates are split into multiple parts and CTM doesn't seem to process them directly. I can't figure out how to reconstruct the original cvs-cur.*.gz file from the parts. I finally figured this out, so I'll answer my own question in case someone as stupid as I happens upon this thread while searching for their own answer. RTFM, ctm_rmail. It's also mentioned in the handbook, although I swear someone added it in the last couple of days because I didn't see it last week when I was looking for it. ;-) Joe. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Prior to problem with task 22, USB 0; it was the same fatal trap, task 25, USB 1. Then it indicates that there is no dump device. It seems to me that all I should have to do is define the dumpdev in rc.conf to obtain a dump; and in my case, since /var is smaller than RAM and swap, define /var/tmp/crash. So it looks to me as if I am experiencing what is described here: ...a kernel is crashing before dumpon(8) can be executed. taken from the kerneldebug.html page. Or am I missing something in the configuration of the dump device? If not, is my only option to put a dump directive into my kernel config?

Moused issues?
Or maybe USB; I can't tell. Background: Beginning around 5 PM EDT Sept. 21 I upgraded world and rebuilt my kernel; after rebooting to install the new kernel at about 9 PM, the system panicked and tossed something like this on the console (I'm working from memory; it was late and I was tired): Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode followed by a bunch of other text, no dump device, and then a reboot in fifteen seconds countdown. The process seemed to hang somewhere around initializing or querying the mouse, a Razer USB. I rebooted and chose kernel.old; it works fine; and it looks like the code (I'm working on an uninformed hunch here) for moused.c did change just before the time I upgraded source. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/moused/moused.c.diff?r1=1.70.2.5;r2=1.70.2.6;f=h Again: I'm guessing based on what I see failing in the boot process; and on the things I can find that changed in the source tree: I can see other things that changed at about the same time; for instance, kld.3, kld.c,libutil.h in /usr/src/lib/libutil/; it looks like these things are relevant to loading ums(4) bits. Any clues? If the only way to investigate further is to build a debugging kernel and configure a dump device, I'm afraid I cannot build any sort of debugging kernel; I am pretty sure it would render my machine unusable and given that I've just reinstalled it on June 16, I'd rather not risk it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But when I went to the BIOS and disabled Secondary SATA controller (in Advanced, Peripheral Configuration), the CD booted and the install began alright. [snip] Now that I figured out what was causing the BTX halted error, I'm going to complete the installation, and then try to enable the Marvell controller back. Let's see if that works. No one seems to have replied ...but I'll draw the summary, anyway. The installation has completed successfully with Marvell 88SE6145 SATA RAID controller disabled. When I go to BIOS and enable it back, the system still boots, but dmesg shows no sign of Marvell's presence. I'm still not sure if the controller is just not configured correctly or if it is not supported under FreeBSD at all, however, I'm leaning towards the latter. I ran into the same problem with my installation on the same mobo. I didn't have to disable the controller or anything, but there needs to be a SATA drive connected to port 0 of the controller or SYSINSTALL bombs with the BTX halted failure. I vaguely remember something on this list a few months back about that in general, not specifically with this mobo. I don't remember about the Marvell controller, if it showed up or not. It seems it did though, but I might have added something to GENERIC for it. I'm on the road for a while, but if you're still interested I'll look when I get home.

Re: undo geom mirror
Hi Craig (sending this to the list too, for the general interest of whomever): I tried this out on a test machine: 1) rolled back fstab to original (non-mirror version) 2) commented out automatic load of mirror in /boot/loader.conf 3) rebooted This worked fine, however, going back to the mirrored version of fstab would even allow me to boot the machine until I deactivated the mirrored drive, and reattached it (which forced it to rebuild).

So you claimed originally that it was due to kldloading some module, but now you're still getting the same panic when you're not kldloading anything? Can you please clarify exactly what is the situation? I suspect you're still actually kldloading something (modules are loaded on demand for some things): did you boot into single-user mode and confirm that all modules are up-to-date? I'm getting this error message during boot time, not during manual loading of modules. I'm getting this error message despite disabling all my third-party modules listed in /boot/loader.conf. I'm assuming that all modules stored in /boot/kernel are system modules, and it would be expected that they would all be able to run without kernel panicing during boot? Sorry for my lack of clarity! Where I became unclear was probably in saying some module. During boot time, once this panic is spewed onto my screen, it doesn't indicate which (system) module it is choking on.

clean reinstall all ports

Python port problems

nss_ldap and OpenLDAP client version
Hi, I'm about to setup my jails so they authenticate against the 'host' server using OpenLDAP and nss_ldap, pam_ldap and so on. I've done this before but wanted to repeat the process because last time it ended up being so much fiddling that when I finished I just left it alone - this time I'm documenting it :) I packaged up versions of the port for OpenLDAP 2.3 (well, actually 2.4 but that looks to just use 2.3 in any case) and then went to package up the nss_ldap port but its after OpenLDAP 2.2 stuff... I guess my question is whether this is intentional (i.e. security related), or just a port maintenance issue? I would've thought between 2.2-2.3 there's been a few security advisories... I only did a lazy lightning google and came across a few (http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/0947) is perhaps one. Anyway, just thought I'd check. As punishment, if this is a stupid question or has been answered before, happy to write up a tutorial as I go as penance.

Re: nss_ldap and OpenLDAP client version
Ansar Mohammed wrote: One of the more undocumented things here is to make sure that in your /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf to make sure that your bind_polcy is soft. If not, you will have no end of problems if you ldap server goes down. Basically if you have in your nsswitch.conf: Passwd: files ldap Group: files ldap If your ldap server is down; nss_ldap keeps trying to reconnect and allot of apps just hang; (like top, ls -la etc) Luckily I haven't had the problem of OpenLDAP going down much so I haven't tweaked this option yet (all clients are currently on the same machine). The [fail=continue] switches (can't recall the exact terms) might alleviate that for NSS stuff? When I first read about the parameter my initial reaction was that 'soft' and 'hard' weren't all that intuitive, but maybe thats just me (fail_immediately/retry_on_fail or similar make more sense to me). One area I wasn't too sure of at first is the permissions on /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf (and nss_ldap.conf)... because of the issues I was having, I figured I needed to configure the 'binddn' and 'bindpw' settings to get a proxy user account to bind to LDAP (I was thinking of Solaris' proxy account and Directory Server). But those params require an unhashed password in the file, so I tried to set it only to be readable by root, which doesn't work - it needs to be world-readable. From what I've gleaned you can do away with these settings, if the directory is setup to allow anonymous binds and reading of the required information via an anonymous bind, or otherwise you need to setup an account with very limited read-only privileges on the required entries. One thing I'm still not clear on with the pam_ldap interaction (not so much the name service switch stuff) - a limited user to read username/group name/hostname information etc is fine for NSS, but what about authentication attempts? I'm guessing pam_ldap doesn't use the 'binddn' proxy to compare the hashed passwords, or otherwise you'd be stuck in a situation where you have to have a world readable account/password, and that account can read all password information. I'll up the debugging on slapd and try it for myself, but I think when I last checked it wasn't using the 'rootbinddn' account I'd supplied for authentication attempts (might've been trying to bind anonymously and then as the user's DN directly with the supplied credentials, can't recall, though the latter would make sense to me).

OK, you just ran qrunner successfully without getting the error you
were getting earlier about getopt. Doesn't matter that all you got
was help, it found *everything* that it tried to import.
I missed the start of this thread. How did you run qrunner to get
your earlier error and where did the error appear? I think you
said the rc script. If it's not too big can you post it? Or
compare it against your working mailman?

What I said in my first response still applies. This same port works on another FreeBSD machine of mine. I've posed this question to the FreeBSD Questions list, but I seem to have baffled some, which is why I thought I would post this question here. I hope this appropriate to post here. You might compare the 'rc' file on this machine to the one on the working machine. That might provide a clue. This is the paragraph I was referring to above by what I said ... We probably can't be much help either. The output you posted seems 'interleaved' and is not too intelligible without knowing what is being run. In general, we are not able to help much with 3rd party packages when the problem is with the package rather than the underlying Mailman. Just in case you'd like to take a stab at this, I'm enclosing the full error message. I'd *really* appreciate your help if you are able to help me, since I'd really like to get Mailman running again on this computer somehow, and have reached the end of my rope... The full output really isn't any more help than the excerpt, since we still have no idea what's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh that's producing all these errors. This script is part of your FreeBSD port. It's not in our distribution. Also, we have no idea in what ways files we do know about have been changed in your package.

OK, you just ran qrunner successfully without getting the
error you were getting earlier about getopt. Doesn't matter
that all you got was help, it found *everything* that it
tried to import.
I missed the start of this thread. How did you run qrunner to
get your earlier error and where did the error appear? I

post it? Or compare it against your working mailman?
My Mailman rc script (exactly identical to the one on my
working machine):
You're getting your error when mailman starts at boot time; is
that right?
If so, what happens if you try as root (csh):
# sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh start
(you might have to check the exact name of the rc.d script).
If this starts mailman then something bizarre is going on.
If you get the same error as usual, then judicious snippets with
the error and prior context.
Running the RC script under sh, csh, and bash yields the same
error spew
I've attached the errors spewed out in their entirety:
Sorry, the csh/sh distinction should have been edited out by me - I
was redirecting the output in my first edit then took it out.
However, the point was to run with sh -x as that will trace
execution and might find where prefix has been written.
Can you try:
$ ls /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman*
# ls /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman*
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh
$ ls /etc/rc.d/mailman*
# ls /etc/rc.d/mailman*
ls: No match.
(in case some old script has hung around)
$ find /usr/local/mailman -type f -exec egrep -H 'prefix' {} \;
(to try to find prefix somewhere in mailman install)
# find /usr/local/mailman -type f -exec egrep -H 'prefix' {} \;
/usr/local/mailman/messages/ja/README.ja:% cd prefix/pythonlib
and if that finds nothing
$ sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh start
Same problem, would you like a copy of this output? I'm presuming the
lines prefaced by a + are of interest to you?
+ named_symlink_enable=YES
+ kerberos5_server_enable=NO
+ kerberos5_server=/usr/libexec/kdc
+ kadmind5_server_enable=NO
+ kadmind5_server=/usr/libexec/kadmind
+ kpasswdd_server_enable=NO
+ kpasswdd_server=/usr/libexec/kpasswdd
+ rwhod_enable=NO
Anything in particular you'd like me to pull from this output?
[from mailman list]
One wild guess - look at bin/paths.py. It should contain real
paths as
definitions for 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix'. If it's wrong, then so
probably are cron/paths.py and scripts/paths.py (and who knows what
else).
We tried looking in that first file a couple iterations ago :-
( Above I've tried looking in others but I don't think that will
be it. don't think it's the mailman install per se as you ran
qrunner from the command line and it worked. Try again to be sure:
/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner
and you' should get the help message and not an import error.
Indeed, I do!
Thanks again for your help! I hope that isolating and resolving my
problem will be useful for others too...

Drop in replacement for imap-UW?
I've been running imap-UW on FreeBSD 6.x STABLE for a while. Clients are mostly Thunderbird, TREOs and Horde (running on the same box. I'm having issues when multiple clients try to access the same user's mailbox. Typically the TREO will do a scheduled check for new mail while Thunderbird has it already open. Research indicates that this is a limitation of the UW imapd implementation. Can anyone recommend a good and secure imapd implementation that won't require a ton of reconfiguration? Mostly I'd like the replacement to be able to use all the existing end-user imap folders and mail spools. All users have accounts and mail spools on the box. There's no virtual users or database authentication backends to deal with.

Trying to recover data from FreeBSD 4.11 system
I have an old Cyrix computer which doesn't post any more. It had 3 hard drives. The boot drive had the / partition as well as /usr and /var, and the other 2 drives were configured with Vinum RAID 1 for /home. I hooked up what used to be the boot drive in a new system and it showed what looked like some hex numbers and then the error message BTX halted.

Installation sticks on probing
Hi, I was trying to install BSD 6.3. During the probing process, the probe sticks (forever) when it sees the HD controller which is an Intergrated Technology Express ITE IT8212 ATA. This happened in both a 1998 and 2007 era computer. The hardware manual says that the card is supported. Is there some keystroke or command that will make BSD skip pass the probing? The Linux Slax Live 5.1.7b disk will boot and see the Maxtor 6L200P0 disk drive that is connected to the controller. With Slax, I was previously able to format the Maxtor disk and write files to it, but I'm not able to get past the probing in BSD 6.3.

RE: Can't start MySQL 5.0.67
Yeah that was it... The chown -R mysql:mysql /var/db/mysql was what did it...

Try the following: chown -R mysql:mysql /var/db/mysql. The error is telling you that innodb can't create /var/db/mysql/ibdata1. After fixing permissions, you may need to do another initdb.

Firefox won't start
I recently did a ports update and after a bit of effort I got firefox3 to compile with no errors.
