What am I missing?

 The name of the config file should be /etc/mail/local-host-names,
 not /etc/mail/local-host.names

 Now [EMAIL PROTECTED] works!!!
 But [EMAIL PROTECTED] is returned to sender with the message:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: host sexy.la3sg.net said: 550.1.1
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... user unknown

This is because there is no local user called 'tina'.

 Then I removed the la3sg.net entry from local-host-names, and the
 message changed to
 [EMAIL PROTECTED].. Relaying denied

Why did you remove la3sg.net from local-host-names?  It *is* your
local host's name after all.

Try adding it again and removing the rest of the stuff you have there.

Not sure if this is responsible for some or all of the difficulties you 
had, but there is no native FreeBSD version of some of the plugins you 
mention.  This has also resulted in complaints of some plugins not working 
with the native FreeBSD version of Opera.  I haven't tried FreeBSD's flash 
plugin wrapper because I'm using the Linux version of Opera, but IIRC 
others have reported happy results.

Re: log rotation

2003-03-03 Thread Chad Kline

for i in /var/run/*.pid; do kill -1 `head -n 1 $i`; done

Thank you, this seems to have solved my problem nicely :)

 Since I upgraded to FreeBSD 4.7, I notice the
 following problem:

 Once a month when my log files rotate
 (simply gzipping the old, and the creating a new empty log file
 via a cron job) the log files stay empty.  all permissions and
 ownerships are correct.  it takes a reboot - then the
 daemons are able to fill up the new log files - but not
 until a reboot.
Daemons write logs to a file descriptor (fd) without a syscall it can't
change fd.
using mv on a local file system use rename(), so fd is the same, and
daemon fills this fd. Usually you can send a kill -HUP to the daemon to
make him look for a new fd.
tipically :
mv current.log old.log
fills old.log
kill -HUP pid of daemon
fills current.old
gzip -9 old.old
and it should work

Not a flame, but this is just hard because all those plugins are only
available for Linux. Complain to Macromedia  Real.com.

FWIW, www/flashpluginwrapper works beautifully for Flash 5, and
www/mplayer-plugin handles all my video needs, which does not include Real,
granted. But that is only a matter of time.

   Flames to /dev/null, gentlemen.  I know that RH is commercial.
   Still, wouldn't it be allowable to check out their ports
   system??

And get into RPM hell? No way.

Portupgrade should be able to upgrade older systems just fine, but the fact of
the matter is that cruft tends to accumulate, even when using only ports. One
faulty pkg-plist and something gets left behind. Most of the time this is no
problem, but it can cause strange behaviour, for example when a header file is
left behind but the corresponding library is not. This is why staying on top
of things helps you out, because when plist errors get fixed, you also have
the correct registered information in your /var/db/pkg.

And of course, as others already pointed out, just complaining without
providing error messages or helpful output will of course get you
nowhere. Saying 'Red Hat is better because it works there' is only an
indication that somewhere along the line something on your system
became broken to the point that it broke other things. You need to find
out what it is (and that goes to the OP as well).

Internal Lan Card

2003-03-03 Thread Jesper Hald

Hey there...
I have a question that I dont really know where else to have this 
answered...
I'm having a IBM NetVista machine running freebsd (4.7) on it.
It has a built-in soundcard and LAN card
before i recompiled the kernel with device pcm, I had two unknown devices
both from vendor=0x8086 (intel as far as I know :)
now I've got these two lines in my dmesg instead:
pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2443) at 31.3 irq 9
pcm0: Intel 82801BA (ICH2) port 0xf400-0xf43f,0xf000-0xf0ff irq 9 at 
device 31.5 on pci0

as we can see, the soundcard is found - and it works just fine.. but the 
other unknown card would be the LAN card as far as I can see...
I have no idea how to make freebsd actually find the card / install the 
correct drivers for it - somebody out there who knows what to do ?
from IBM's page I get this (very helpful) info:  Intel 10/100 onboard 
ethernet
Anybody have any ideas?
/Hald

this is part of my dmesg, don't think it's useful, but might as well have 
it included just in case...
I have a 3com (xl0) in the computer, but it would be nicer to have the 
built-in working.

Fragmentation Avoidance Code

2003-03-03 Thread Audsin

Respected Sir

I am currently working in the fragmentation avoidance technique caused by 
the overhead introduced by MIP6. I am using FreeBSD 4.4 and Kame Snap.
I have introduced some code in netinet6/ip6_output.c code and 
netinet6/in6_pcb.h and netinet/in_pcb.h so that length of the MIP6 
extension header if present is taken into account, when calculation the 
ipoptlen() and hence frag is avoided. Below i am pasting the code to which 
i have made changes. The lines starting with @ symbol shows the code 
introduced by me. Please go thru the code and let me know whether this 
takes account of the Extension header length introduced by MIP6. Since, 
this is my first research project, i kindly request you to go thru the code 
and help me.
I have explained my code under the heading Implementation in the last ie. 
after the codes

Please let me know, whether this code will take into account the length 
occupied by MIP6 Ext header. If any changes is required pls let me know.

Thanks and sorry for the disturbance

Hi  yall!

I too, would like to see similar colours to what I used to, when I was

The TERM setting isn't the only thing you need to do.  ls doesn't use colors
by default, so you need to configure it to use colors.  vi is the same
(as far as I know).  See the man page for each program that you want to see
colors with, to see how to configure it for color.  Most of these programs
will let you set an environment varialbe in (in your case) the .zshrc file.
For example, in ls you set CLICOLOR and LSCOLORS.

Re: Ok, KDE/Help .. after my moans what now ?

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Cliff Sarginson [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed:
 The tag for ports should always be ., since the do not follow any kind
 of upgrade system like the release does.

Correct.

 Why does portupgrade try to find 4.8-PRELEASE ports ?

Because you're running a system with a uname of 4.8-PRERELEASE. It's
probably trying to find packages, since for ports it just uses what
you have installed. But without knowing what commands you issued or
the exact error messages, there's no way to tell.

 This is nonsense.
 From where is it getting this idea ?

From uname -a, or the same source.

 I draw a parellell here, because *none* of the documentation of ports
 explains what can go wrong.

That's because they can go wrong in so many interesting ways. Most of
the times when I see problems, it's because I run with
LOCALBASE=/usr/opt, and someone failed to fix a reference to
/usr/local. Generally, the maintainer is responsive to fixing that.
One of these days I'm going to build everything with
LOCALBASE=/usr/opt, and report what breaks.

 I regard portupgrade as a useless, time-wasting tool. If you have had
 luck with it. Then consider yourself blessed.

All protupgrade does is some nice things around the standard
commands - like bundling up the old port to reinstall if the install
fails. If portupgrade fails, then issuing the same commands will fail
without portupgrade.

The real problem is that the ports system is fragile. Changing
LOCALBASE causes about 10 perent of the ports to fail.  I tried
running portupgrade with a -B -j 5 argument for all port builds, and
something like a fourth of the ports refuse to build with those
arguments. Problems ranged from files not being in place to looping
doing the config. Removing those flags fixed everything. kde, being a
huge port, is probably particularly sensitive to minor glitches in the
environment.

You can either alias ls to ls -C, or install the gnuls port and make
sure that ls is first in your path. You may need to find which vi -
there are at least three - you were using on mandrake, and install
that. Other than the system one, there are vim and nvi in the
ports. Hopefully, a vi user will chime in with which ones do syntax
coloring.

 My favoured shell is zsh (it's what we use at work, so I am sticking

 joy I'm afraid.

zsh does colors just fine if you set the term type to xterm-color.
You need to do:

autoload -U colors
colors

in your .zshrc to enable them, then you can use them in your
prompts. I set my RPROPMT like so:

RPROMPT= %{$fg_no_bold[magenta]%}%~%{$reset_color%}

to have it display the current directory in magenta.

As an aside, one of the things I *hated* about a couple of linux
distributions was that they enabled colors for things by default. In
three differente places. Turning that stuff off was a major pain. I
can understand having it on by default, but I ought to be able to turn
it off by editing my .bashrc (or similar), without having to edit two
system files as well.

DVD burner suggestions

2003-03-03 Thread Brian J. Kirk

All,

For some backups at work, I'm thinking of getting a DVD burner.  I was looking at the 
Sony dru500a, since its compatible with all the various dvd media out there.  Has 
anyone had any luck/experience with this drive (or any dvd burner)?
I found only a few hints on the net, including:
http://www.whiterose.net/~mrpink/freebsd/dvdr.php

but it seems like its a bit of a hack.

I'm running 5.0 release on a box with both scsi and ide capability.

thanks in advance,

Doesn't sound like a FreeBSD issue.  Sounds like the command-line client having

on %USERPROFILE%\.cvspass to ensure that it's writable by the user who's running

 We obviously test the ports on a wide variety of systems, but we can't catch 
 everything.  For example, there were recent changes on -CURRENT that 
 completely broke in kdebase, and we've been asking for people affected to 
 test a patch that very likely fixes it.   As a further example, a recent 
 upgrade to libxine changed it's API so much that kdemultimedia stopped 
 building.  Of course, updating the ports again with cvsup would fix that one, 
 since we fixed it rather quickly, and posting the build error to kde@, we 
 would have immediately recognised the problem as the one we just fixed, and 
 advised you accordingly.
 
 I guess I don't see your posts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (clearly listed as the 
 maintainer for all KDE ports) with your build/runtime problems, symptoms, and 
 logs that would help us diagnose the problem.  They must have slipped under 
 one of my filters.   Perhaps, since I can obviously see your posts here, you 
 could repost them and I can forward them to kde@ for you.
 

Ok, mea culpa. I should use the right list when I have a problem.
I will do so from now on.
I do realise that KDE is one complex beast.
I apologise.
I still don't have KDE, but my next message about it will be to the
right list.
I do appreciate everyone's efforts...

  Hello,
  Ok so portupgrde did not work in installing the latest KDE.
  I cannot get KDE to run at all.
  I get errors about libintl being missing.
  Plus a mysterious and new requirement to tell make I have a Matrox 450
  card.
 
 That's not a requirement, it's an option, if you want special support for that 
 card from something that offers it.   Probably X itself, certainly nothing 
 related to KDE.
 
Ok, but no choice in portupgrade.
Matrox cards are common as muck, even I know how to find out how a
system has one or not.

 *What* says libintl is missing? which binary? there is no binary called KDE, 
 something specifically must be giving these problems.  
 
I am aware of that. It is startkde that is complaining.

 Does upgrading gettext help.  You *need* to keep your dependencies up to date 
 as well as the port you're trying to upgrade, these things are not developed 
 in a vacuum.
 
Yes, that is why I did try to do a massive dependent upgrade, following
tips given in the Portupgrade manual page. Unfortunately the tips
failed.

  Plus the fact I cannot even re-intall KDE from the 4.7 ISO CD's.
  I get the highly useful message Error -1.
 
 From what? The CD-Rom drive? KDE? What KDE binary? From pkg_add? from 
 Portupgrade? from tcsh?  From Raelian clones?
 
 Who knows.
I know. I tried to restore the status quo ante. This, in my mind, was
not so very unreasonable. The information about ports given out is that
they are not dependent on a release. They clearly are. This is a fault
in the system, not in yours truly.

 
  Now, correct me if I am wrong.
  The tag for ports should always be ., since the do not follow any kind
  of upgrade system like the release does.
  Why does portupgrade try to find 4.8-PRELEASE ports ?
  This is nonsense.
  From where is it getting this idea ?
 
 uname -a
 
Ok, see above. It should not be caring about my release. Ports,
according to all information sources I have read, are not RELEASE
dependent. Of course they may have dependencies, but that is not the
same thing.

 Because you are trying to make it install packages, for a branch that doesn't 
 exist yet.  I honestly could explain this, but it would take more time than I 
 have this precise minute, and wouldn't help you fix anything anyway.  
 
No, no. This is *NOT* what the documentation says. I am trying to
install ports. And the impression given is that this has *nothing* to do
with the release. Does, for example, spamassassin, depend on whether
you are running 4.6, 4.7, or 4.8 Release ? Of course it doesn't. The
tag for ports is ., not the release. 

 So here's my Lauri's rules to upgrading ports and stuff
 
 1: Don't mix pkg_add -r and portupgrade, you *will* have problems.  You can 
 mix make install and portupgrade, in most cases.  
 
Ok, very well documented..NOT. Do you think I went into this blind ?

 2: Run pkgdb -F before you try to do anything.  Follow it's instructions to 
 the letter.  *Fix* your pkgdb before you continue.  If you don't understand 
 what it's asking you, cut and paste what it says into an email and ask.  
 Don't give anecdotes or paraphrase the errors, if you do we *cannot* help 
 you.
 
Done it, been there. I have read all the documentation, and followed the
email threads. I am not alone in having problems with portupgrade.

 3: Have an up to date portsdb -u.  Run it after every cvsup.  Most everyone 
 will advise you do portsdb -Uu and it won't hurt if you do, but it will 
 take exponentially longer.  You'll have a shiny up to date index out of it 
 though.  portsdb -u is the one that portupgrade needs to be up to date to 
 work effectively.
 Ignore the complaints it makes about anything, you only have an actual problem 
 if it fails to complete it's run.
 If it actually fails, cut and paste what it says into an email and ask.  Don't 
 give anecdotes or paraphrase the errors, if you do we *cannot* help you.
 
I run it every time. I am not paraphrasing errors.

 4: Don't try to upgrade piecemeal if other ports are out of date.  The problem 
 you describe above probably relate to a out of date dependency ports, but I 
 can't be totally sure without the info from pkg_info -Ia.   Don't 
 paraphrase that output, cut and paste it into an email, or I can't help you 
 (are you seeing a pattern here?)
 
No. Because you are assuming I am an idiot. I tried, following the
bouncing ball, not assuming I knew better, to bring a system up to date.
It failed.

 *ALL* dependencies must be up to date, before you try to upgrade something 
 like KDE.It probably won't build with an old version of anything that it 
 depends on, and if it does, it might not work.  If you really have your 
 system in such a mess as I suspect, it's amazing anything is working. 
 
It is working, because gaving worked with UNIX since Edition 6, I do
know a few things. My system

 Now, what *exactly* does the portupgrade command you've been typing look

Yes and yes.
Name calling is a waste of time. I agree.
And yes, I have run -F until I do it in my sleep.

getting images off a digital camera...

PPPoE IPv6 address autoconfiguration

2003-03-03 Thread Rafa Marín López

Hello all.

I am trying establish a PPPoE (using IPv6CP)  connection between a 
FreeBSD PC client and a CISCO router 3600

After PPPoE connection I got link-address connection, but tun0 interface 
is not configured with prefix address sent by CISCO router

If I execute a tcpdump in FreeBSD client over tun0 interface,  I can see 
router advertisements but tun0 interface is no configured.

An error is shown :

/kernel : in6_ifaddr:  wrong prefixlen for tun0 (prefix=64 ifid= 0)
/kernel : nd6_lookup = failed to lookup fe80:0007::0207:ebff::fe3a:1161 
(if = tun0)

These errors are always shown when I also execute rtsol -d tun0

Could someone give an advice?

Thank you very much.

 Or you could consider helping find a way to re-enable
 the www to send-pr while preventing script kiddies from
 abusing it.
 
 Why not have a pr-moderator for each category (i386, kern, doc, etc), who
 approves each incoming PR.  Basically this person would act as a front-line
 defense against spammers, but it would also allow them to assign PRs to
 developers as they are submitted, rather than letting them sit in the PR
 database for weeks/months before anyone picks them up.
 
  I believe something like this is being considered.

 Have you considered a 'confirmation' system that sends mail back to the
 originator for confirmation before actually submitting the PR?

 This way, if someone does manage to spam the GNATS database, we'll have
 their email address and can officially complain.

 Most ISPs would have
 such abuse be grounds for cancelling their account.

That is exactly what would happen at this ISP :o)

I've had this. I found that with xterm I couldn't get DEL to work. There
are a couple of things to do. Firstly use a different terminal. rxvt and
aterm work. Also if you press CTRL-H that will work as the backspace.

Also try stty erase del key and see if that helps

 Not sure if this is responsible for some or all of the difficulties you

Right.  They are.  Only package installs will care about the OS.

  3: Have an up to date portsdb -u.  Run it after every cvsup.  Most

  If it actually fails, cut and paste what it says into an email and ask. 
  Don't give anecdotes or paraphrase the errors, if you do we *cannot* help
  you.

 I run it every time. I am not paraphrasing errors.

You are paraphrasing errors, or cutting them short.  One single line of error 
output from gcc is useless without knowing what it was trying to compile or 
link, and knowing what other packages are installed so we can guess why it's 
not finding the files it wants.  So you need to paste at least several 
complete lines above the actual error message before we are able to help you.

You seem to be feeling very hostile, but there are several of us out here 
*trying* to help.  You're not making it very easy.  If you want the problems 
fixed, we need more information.  If you just want to rant, then this 
conversation is done, I won't participate anymore.

  4: Don't try to upgrade piecemeal if other ports are out of date.  The
  problem you describe above probably relate to a out of date dependency
  ports, but I can't be totally sure without the info from pkg_info -Ia. 
   Don't paraphrase that output, cut and paste it into an email, or I can't
  help you (are you seeing a pattern here?)

 No. Because you are assuming I am an idiot. I tried, following the
 bouncing ball, not assuming I knew better, to bring a system up to date.
 It failed.

I'm assuming no such thing.  I'm telling you that I need specific information 
that you have not so far provided. If you provide this information, I can 
help, if you don't, I cannot.  It's up to you.

 Ok, point taken.
 I don't paraphrase.
 I can cut and paste Error -1 or type it in. It still remains Error
 -1.

And you still haven't told us *what* command gave that reply.   Or any of the 
other information you have been asked for.

  - The ports system is supposed to be independent of the OS/Release, it
 is not.
It is.  The packages are not, they cannot be, because the OS itself is an 
evolving thing.  Packages are not ports, they are single snapshots of a port 
built on a single snapshot of a released version of the OS. 

  - KDE is unbuildable.

KDE is entirely buildable, very many people have built it successfully on very 
many versions of this operating system, and on many other operating systems 
(even HP/UX).  If it's not buildable on your system, we still don't have 
enough information to even begin to diagnose why.  As I've asked already, 
start with posting uname -a, pkg_info -Ia, and the configure results of the 
first port to fail (that'd be arts, if Qt 3.1 is ok - I haven't seen you yet 
complain about Qt, so I'll guess it is.) Then we might well be able to start 
fixing the problems.  

  - Shoving latest releases of KDE (and Gnome) into ports without the
 binary install of them is bad news. I have a fast high speed ADSL

Right way to update configuration arguments for a port ?

2003-03-03 Thread Sean O'Neill

I want to build apache2 with the configuration option --enable-dav.  I've 
looked at the Porter's Handbook and to be honest - I'm a bit overwhelmed at 
the moment.

What I want to do it make it so that apache2 port on my machine will always 
include --enable-dav when apache2 gets upgraded, built, etc and I don't 
have to always remember to tweak something.

What's the right way to do this ?

Re: Problems using screen

2003-03-03 Thread Nigel Soon

try,
# stty erase ^vpress backspace key right after typing ^v 

The ^v (control - v ) is the quote character. It keeps the shell from
interpreting the next keystroke. This is necessary because some shells 
are smart enough to realize that either ^H or ^? should be treated as the
backspace character, but some programs don't (like mail, vi...). 

You can put the stty erase command right into your shells startup script.

Re: FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-03:04.sendmail

2003-03-03 Thread Oscar Ricardo Silva

Anybody know how we should approach this for older versions of FreeBSD? Is
upgrading source and rebuilding the only way? I was wondering if there
were binary versions or patches for older versions so we don't have
upgrade, rebuild and reboot.

At 09:11 AM 3/3/2003 -0800, FreeBSD Security Advisories, you wrote:
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
=
FreeBSD-SA-03:04.sendmail Security Advisory
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: sendmail header parsing buffer overflow

Category: contrib
Module: contrib_sendmail
Announced: 2003-03-03
Credits:Mark Dowd (ISS)
Affects:All releases prior to 4.8-RELEASE and 5.0-RELEASE-p4
FreeBSD 4-STABLE prior to the correction date
Corrected: 2003-03-03
FreeBSD only: NO
I. Background

FreeBSD includes sendmail(8), a general purpose internetwork mail
routing facility, as the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).
II. Problem Description

ISS has identified a buffer overflow that may occur during header
parsing in all versions of sendmail after version 5.79.
In addition, Sendmail, Inc. has identified and corrected a defect in
buffer handling within sendmail's RFC 1413 ident protocol support.
III. Impact

A remote attacker could create a specially crafted message that may
cause sendmail to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running sendmail, typically root. The malicious message might be
handled (and therefore the vulnerability triggered) by the initial
sendmail MTA, any relaying sendmail MTA, or by the delivering sendmail
process. Exploiting this defect is particularly difficult, but is
believed to be possible.
The defect in the ident routines is not believed to be exploitable.

IV. Workaround

There is no workaround, other than disabling sendmail.

V. Solution

Do one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4-STABLE; or to the RELENG_5_0,
RELENG_4_7, or RELENG_4_6 security branch dated after the correction
date (5.0-RELEASE-p4, 4.7-RELEASE-p7, or 4.6.2-RELEASE-p10,
respectively).
[NOTE: At the time of this writing, the FreeBSD 4-STABLE branch is
labeled `4.8-RC1'.]
2) To patch your present system:

The following patch has been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.0, 4.7,
and 4.6 systems.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:04/sendmail.patch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:04/sendmail.patch.asc
b) Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
# make obj make depend make
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
# make obj make depend make
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make obj make depend make make install
3) For i386 systems only, a patched sendmail binary is available.
Select the correct binary based on your FreeBSD version and whether or
not you want STARTTLS support. If you want STARTTLS support, you must
have the crypto distribution installed.
a) Download the relevant binary from the location below, and verify
the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:04/sendmail-4.6-i386-crypto.bin.gz

I think the only place this is documented is in the source.

However, the states seem pretty obvious:

nanslp = sleeping in nanosleep

kqread = waiting on a kqueue read event
piperd = waiting on a pipe read
accept = waiting on accept
ttyin = waiting for input from a TTY

etc.

What you see in the advisory is all that is provided by FreeBSD.  If
you're on an older release, it's not supported any longer and you need
to figure out how to fix it on your own.  That may involve upgrading
to a supported release, or manually fixing the problem described in
the advisory.  In this case you can probably disable the base system
sendmail and use the sendmail port.

Thanks again. That helps. In another post David Kelly suggest gphoto2 in

perhaps it will work with the F717, too. Also, it supports your camera.
I think I will try both approaches and see how they compare. Of course
(doesn't it figure) I compile my kernel without USB mass storage
support. Oh, well. It's about time for another kernel compile :-)

Thanks again.

My father has a Sony camera as well.  I don't know what model, but I'd
guess that if the F707 shows as a SCSI disk, the F717 will as well.
It's far preferable to use standard interfaces than special software.
Once you have the device, you can mount it as a disk and copy the
files to where they belong.  First create a directory /camera and put
the following entry in /etc/fstab:

/dev/da0s1  /camera msdos   rw,noauto   0   0

Then, after connecting the camera, you can do things like:

 # mount /camera
 # mkdir Photos
 # cp /camera/directory/* Photos
 # rm /camera/directory/*

Most cameras don't store the photos in the root directory.  For
example, my Nikon camera stores them in /camera/dcim/100nikon.  You'll
have to find out the name of the directory on your camera and replace
the text directory with the correct name.

Re: DVD burner suggestions

2003-03-03 Thread oremanj

[Sorry - forgot to CC the list...]



 For some backups at work, I'm thinking of getting a DVD burner.  I was
 looking at the Sony dru500a, since its compatible with all the various
 dvd media out there.  Has anyone had any luck/experience with this drive
 (or any dvd burner)?

I have the Sony DRU500a drive (internal IDE version).  It works well:
$ mkisofs -r -o dvd.iso /some/large/tree/no/bigger/than/4.4g
[snip]
## You might not need to do the next command more than once
## per DVD. Substitute dvd-rw for dvd+rw if you're using that.
$ burncd -F -f /dev/acd0 format dvd+rw
$ burncd -f /dev/acd0 dvdrw dvd.iso
You might need to be root for those burncd commands; I'm not sure.
I think there's a cdrecord look-alike called dvdrecord, but I have no
experience with it. I'm not sure what the commands look like if you're
using DVD-R or DVD+R, but I assume something like `burncd -f /dev/acd0
data dvd.iso fixate' would work.

DVD+RW and DVD-RW work great for backups. For example, `dump 0uf
/path/with/big/space/dump_of_root.dump /' and burn it like an ISO. To
restore, `cd /  restore rf /dev/acd0' -- man restore for details.

I also had good experience just making an ISO of a directory (/usr/local
for example). To fit more than one of these on a DVD, you can do `mkisofs
-graft-points etc=etc var=var usr/local=usr_local usr/home=home' from the
root directory (this example makes an ISO of /etc, /var, /usr/local, and
/home and puts each one in a separate directory on the ISO.) Then `burncd
... dvdrw backup.iso'.

Here's a good backup command to get you started:
# cd / 
 mkisofs -graft-points usr/local=usr-local usr/home=usr-home \
 var=var etc=etc -o usr/backup/DVD.current.iso 
 burncd -F -f /dev/acd0 format dvd+rw 
 burncd -s max -f /dev/acd0 usr/backup/DVD.current.iso 
 mv usr/backup/DVD.current.iso \
 usr/backup/DVD.`date +%m-%d-%y`.iso 
 echo *** Backup Done! ***
This assumes that you have a DVD+RW in the drive, that the drive is
/dev/acd0, and that you want to back up /usr/local, /usr/home, /var, and
/etc. Depending on your setup, this may not all fit on one DVD.
As always, YMMV.

 I found only a few hints on the net, including:
 http://www.whiterose.net/~mrpink/freebsd/dvdr.php

 but it seems like its a bit of a hack.

 I'm running 5.0 release on a box with both scsi and ide capability.

I would get the IDE one: that's the only one I have experience with. I
don't know about SCSI. 5.0-release has the capability right out of the
box. (Note that with IDE you can emulate SCSI, if you have a program that
wants it.)

/usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs is the only port you'll need.

 thanks in advance,
 Brian

Hope this helps,
Josh

sendmail 4.6 fixed binary on 4.5-RELEASE ?

2003-03-03 Thread Josh Brooks


Hello,

I am using:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:04/sendmail-4.6-i386-crypto.bin.gz

as a binary replacement for my sendmail binaries on my 4.6.x systems.  It
is working fine.

But what if I use this binary replacement on a 4.5-RELEASE system ?

Has anyone tested or tried this ?  I would assume it would work because I
notice many apps moving gracefully between 4.5 and 4.6, but I wonder if
anyone has any official word - or even a prediction ?

thanks!

 What you see in the advisory is all that is provided by FreeBSD.  If
 you're on an older release, it's not supported any longer and you need
 to figure out how to fix it on your own.  That may involve upgrading
 to a supported release, or manually fixing the problem described in
 the advisory.  In this case you can probably disable the base system
 sendmail and use the sendmail port.

Or the postfix port, or the qmail port, or the exim port. At least two
of those three have had zero security problems, and it's probably true
for all three of them.

No, you haven't. You have as yet to provide the information that has

 I stil do not have a working KDE, 

You have no one to blame but yourself.

Sendmail update from ports

2003-03-03 Thread Tommy Forrest - KE4PYM

On a FBSD 4.2-RELEASE system - I build Sendmail 8.12.8 from the ports
collection.  It builds and installs just fine.  I follow the directions
in pkg-message.  I set sendmail_enable=no in rc.conf.  

And because my system is  4.6 I put sendmail_flags=-L sm-msp-queue
-Ac -q1m'

Set the sendmail.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and reboot.  I see sendmail
start as a local package.  I see sendmail running as a process.  I
cannot, however telnet to localhost 25.  Connection refused.

The one thing that throws me off in pkg-message is the statement about
adding stuff to sendmail.mc.  I do not have a sendmail.mc file on my
sysytem.  Where would that live?

What am I missing here?

 Hello,

 while pressing e.g. backspace or del in a screen session, the
 'vbell'-message appears.

I'm using xterms exclusively as screen windows here for quite some
time.  I'm not sure I understand what the problem you are trying to
describe is though.

What do you mean by the 'vbell'-message appears.?

 These Keys seems to be non-functional, thats very ugly.  (Freebsd
 4.7, ports/misc/screen) I read the manpage but couldn't find a
 workaround, maybe its terminal specific.

Not sure.  You'll have to provide more details.
