Re: unable to build -current from 5.2 beta
* Ivo Chutkin open...@bgone.net [2013-01-20 15:43:22 +0200]: Hello, I am trying to build -current from 5.2 beta from Jul 1 but getting Yes, the recommended way and documented way to upgrade to current is to download the latest snapshot. I persoanlly, as i'm sure many others do also, boot from bsd.rd. So open an ftp session to a local mirror, making sure it's the snapshot directory, copy *.tgz files and bsd* - I also download INSTALL.amd64 and SHA files; copy bsd.rc to / : cp /path/to/snapshot/files/download/bsd.rd / then reboot the machine and enter `boot bsd.rc` at the boot prompt and select upgrade. When it asks for the location of the file sets select disk and enter the path to the files you downloaded using the ftp session. Then once it's finished, update the system configuration files using sysmerge(8). There's lots of info on the OpenBSD website and contributors have written some good tutorials also.
named error from /var/named/etc/root.hint
Hi I recently upgraded my system to the Dec 21 snapshot, will be updating again to the Jan 09 snapshot; but, I noticed an error message in /var/log/messages yesterday when I rebooted my machine: Jan 13 21:16:43 kontrol named[23666]: checkhints: d.root-servers.net/A (199.7.91.13) missing from hints Jan 13 21:16:43 kontrol named[23666]: checkhints: d.root-servers.net/A (128.8.10.90) extra record in hints I managed to fix it by downloading a new file from ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache and copying it to /var/named/etc/root.hints. I Just thought I would post that in case anyone else has/had the same issue. Cheers, Jamie -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38

I did run sysmerge(8) after the upgrade as documented. It must have been something I did wrong then. Sorry for that.

Re: Terminal emulators can't read .profile
* MERIGHI Marcus mcmer-open...@tor.at [2012-12-10 12:48:26 +0100]: f...@zhou.es (Feng Zhou), 2012.12.10 (Mon) 12:02 (CET): I was trying out st and urxvt as a replacement for xterm, and it turned out that all the settings I put in ~/.profile are not recognised when I use either st or urxvt. Is this a bug or an expected behaviour that I need to do something about to use other terminals? The shell was not changed, it was the default ksh. At first I thought it was a problem of st, but it happened to urxvt too. So I thought it's best to ask here. Any help is much appreciated. I am guessing here, but from the times I used rxvt there's still: Rxvt*loginShell: TRUE in my .Xdefaults. Bye, Marcus I use urxvt with cwm. You need to to use the ~/.Xdefaults file as others have suggested: URxvt.loginShell:true ... This will solve your problem. BTW, it's documented on the FAQ I believe. Jamie

At least give it a shot since you're planning on reinstalling anyway. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! For a long time I did fresh installs too since my average OpenBSD box is a router with ~15 files changed from default and little to no packages so it was trivial to recreate, and even then I should have been upgrading in hindsight. Yeah sure i'll give it go. It would make life a bit easier anyway if all goes to plan. Thanks for your comments. Jamie

Please read the start of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html Nick. Will the 5.2 downloads be available tomorrow? I read 1 Nov is the release date for 5.2. I will be doing my first OpenBSD upgrade as i've only been using the OS for a few weeks now. Is it best to remove all packages prior to upgrade and then reinstall them or should we simply upgrade the packges using pkg_add -i once the upgrade has been completed?

I've just read the upgrade document and as I don't have that many packages installed I think i'll just back-up some config files and install from scratch. Probably the easiest and quickest method in my case. cheers, Jamie
Re: Donations
snip pointless rant But things are not free. It takes commerce to produce nearly every material good, as distasteful as that might be to some people. It is called business. No one is forcing anyone to use ebay or paypal. If anyone wants to play in their marketplace, however, they must play by the established rules. of course all things are not free, we're not bloody idiots. the point is their charges, in my opion, are excessive.

Re: (mailx) How can I alter From header
For a global change in Gmail: Settings Accounts and Import Send mail as: edit info Otherwise add different accounts and send as them (although smtp authentication will be via the username and not the added accounts). Google Apps makes this more flexible as you can alias users. I don't think that's what he's looking for. There are command-line mailers that are better suited to changing the From: header, otherwise If you really want to use mail(1) then i think your best option is to look at using the mta to re-write the From: addressi as suggested earlier, which is typically sendmail, otherwise the closest thing you can get to it is by using the -r option (i think). -- Jamie Paul Griffin GPG Key: DF52D9B0 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]

When it comes to using Sendmail features the only thing you can do is spend time reading about them. There is lot's of information out there. It is quite a complex system which requires a certain level of understanding.
