Ah seems like FTP as well as Samba is blocked after the upgrade.... I have ran FreeBSD 7 to 7.2 using the freebsd upgrade process painless in the past, however..
Have followed the instructions for upgrade 7.2 to 8.0-P3 from the FreeBSD website. As I am not a FreeBSD guru all I can say is the update process is NOT a smooth process as per EVERY OTHER O/S in the open source market. I appreciate the support you have given but whatever you suggest just doesn't work. I am very angered being lead in to believing freebsd-update will be the able to update your OS - this isn't the case. Does FreeBSD want to be a "fanatics only" OS? No other OS's seems to have no such problems updating. I have even offered access to my server to sort out the problem but no one has offered. I just get cut/copy emails in reply that doesn't work. After 5 years of painless usage perhaps I ought to look at another better support OS? ________________________________ From: "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> To: Andy Hiscock <andyjhisc...@yahoo.com> Sent: Thu, 3 June, 2010 22:02:05 Subject: [#24536008] Re: UPGRADE TO RELEASE 8.0-P3/SAMBA HELP REQUIRED Hello, This is an automated response to inform you that your question has been entered into our system, and will be reviewed shortly.

Surely thats what "Inspecting system" is meant to be doing.

[snip rest of useless rant] Never come across this myself til now, but it seems there's a problem in ports that touches Samba. Probably related to your Samba install complaining. From a ports tree updated just a while ago: bash3-3.2.51 Dependency: gettext-0.17_1 gettext-0.17_1 Information for gettext-0.17_1: lynx-2.8.7.1_1,1 Dependency: gettext-0.18_1 mutt-devel-1.5.20_5 Dependency: gettext-0.18_1 popt-1.14_1 Dependency: gettext-0.18_1 samba34-3.4.5_1 Dependency: gettext-0.18_1 wget-1.12_1 Dependency: gettext-0.18_1 I guess it's a choice between bash working, or everything else working. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ============== _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
