Loading kernel modules twice
I was using 5.0 as my NAT router and everything was fine, then I upgraded to 5.1 and I get this error, and I can no longer ping the computers, it has two intel etherexpress cards in it, and the first one still works dialing the dsl: module_register: module pci/if_fxp already exists!

is this a FBSD printf bug?
FBSD 4.8
i hope this isn't a question based on extreme
ignorance - i haven't programmed in C in a
long time, and i don't have another machine
to test this on. i can't understand why
the output of the following code produces
"ints" when given variables of type "char",
so it looks like a bug to me ...
#include
///
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
#define LEN_ARRAY 16
char a[LEN_ARRAY+1];
int i;
a[0]=0x00;
a[1]=0x11;
a[2]=0x22;
a[3]=0x33;
a[4]=0x44;
a[5]=0x55;
a[6]=0x66;
a[7]=0x77;
a[8]=0x88;
a[9]=0x99;
a[10]=0xaa;
a[11]=0xbb;
a[12]=0xcc;
a[13]=0xdd;
a[14]=0xee;
a[15]=0xff;
for ( i = 0; i < LEN_ARRAY; ++i ) printf("[%02i]%02x\n", i, a[i]);
}

Nope -- this is a C language FAQ (See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/C-faq/faq/, particularly section 15). Neither is it FreeBSD specific. If you pass arguments to a varargs function, like printf(3), then they will get type promoted. In this case 'char' is promoted to 'int'. The reason the results you're seeing don't match up to your expectations is that the 'char' type is signed, and you seem to want to be using an unsigned type.

Re: is this a FBSD printf bug?
Hrrm... your question and the code seem to contradict each other.
Firstly, you are assigning hex values to the characters in your array.
Secondly, you are printing the values stored in the array as hex values by
specifying %02x.
I think you meant to ask why you are getting the preceding trail of
...'s. If that's the case, it's because you are assigning values to
signed character variables and printing them as unsigned hex values. Thus,
when you assign values greater than 127 (starting with 88), you are
overriding the sign of the character. To get the output you would expect,
simply declare a as an unsigned character array.
e.g. unsigned char a[LEN_ARRAY+1];

Re: Packages
Where did you download the package from? Judging from the name of the file, it's not an official one. Try: # pkg_add -r BitchX And it will automatically fetch the package for you.

Well, for starters, this is the wrong list. You are supposed to ask question about 5.x on -current. You are also supposed to subscribe to the commit list and etc. If you don't want to do this, then 5.1 release may not be the appropriate choice of OS for you.

newbie: procmail question /var/mail
Hi, Okay I have read some tutorial sites on procmail but want to make sure I have some things clear here before I move everybody plus some things I dont quite understand are happening and I cant find relevant infromation. /var/mail is filling up quickly. I am attmepting to migrate /var/mail/ files to a new scheme that places the DEFAULT local delivery to something like $HOME/Mailbox . I am using procmail for local delivery and sendmail is the agent. in sendmail I have the following from the .mc file. --- snip --- define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/local/bin/procmail')dnl FEATURE(local_procmail,`',`/usr/local/bin/procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl --- snip okay but I have a few users with $DEFAULT defined to /var/mail/ so I am trying to figure out a way to gracefully handle this without creating the need for a flag day and have the need to have every user redefine their $DEFAULT . I thought I could just have a soft symlink from /var/mail/ to $HOME/Mailbox . but every new message delivery replaces /var/mail/ and then generates a /var/mail/BOGUS..ca I guess this can be asked somewhere else like a procmail list but well this list has a lot of good information in the past. Should I go to the procmail lists for support or can somebody help me here? - Noah ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: [rofug] Re: (Fwd) mountroot>
Hi, Please use english. Try inserting the following in /boot/loader.conf: root_disk_unit=1 From loader(8): root_disk_unit If the code which detects the disk unit number for the root disk is confused, eg. by a mix of SCSI and IDE disks, or IDE disks with gaps in the sequence (eg. no primary slave), the unit number can be forced by setting this variable. Alternatively you can try creating a file "boot.config" in the root filesystem containting: 2:da(1,a)/kernel See boot(8).

System not e-mailing ROOT anymore
Hi All, According to this FreeBSD handbook I should be able to turn off Sendmail ability to recieve e-mail but still be able to send mail. My FreeBSD box is a Samba backup server and I don't require Sendmail service, but I would still like to recieve the e-mails to root from the system. When setting sendmail_enable="NO" this seems to kill all email services, even the system e-mailing root. From Handbook: == 20.4.2.1 FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE before 2002/4/4 and earlier (including 4.5-RELEASE and earlier) Enter: sendmail_enable="NO" into /etc/rc.conf. This will disable sendmail's incoming mail service, but if /etc/mail/mailer.conf (see below) is not changed, sendmail will still be used to send e-mail. 20.4.2.2 FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE after 2002/4/4 (including 4.6-RELEASE and later) In order to completely disable sendmail you must use sendmail_enable="NONE" in /etc/rc.conf. Warning: If you disable sendmail's outgoing mail service in this way, it is important that you replace it with a fully working alternative mail delivery system. If you choose not to, system functions such as periodic(8) will be unable to deliver their results by e-mail as they would normally expect to. Many parts of your system may expect to have a functional sendmail-compatible system. If applications continue to use sendmail's binaries to try and send e-mail after you have disabled them, mail could go into an inactive sendmail queue, and never be delivered. If you only want to disable sendmail's incoming mail service, you should set sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf. More information on sendmail's startup options is available from the rc.sendmail(8) manual page. == Thank You, Joseph S.

I use the /var/mail directory for the mail that is waiting to be fetched. Users that read there mail localy have a .forward file in there home dir. The users who have a .forward file also have a .procmailrc file. This causes the mail not to be send to /var/mail but to one of there own directories (usaly in /home). The users who don't read there mail localy use pop or imap to fetch it. They have a quota on the /var filesystem. I can as root use the /var/mail system to resend mails by moveing there mailboxes from /home to /var/mail, but they have to use fetchmail or getmail to do this. This way the can rerun there mail though there procmail filters. I don't have the feature included in sendmail. I hope this is helpfull. Contact me if you like this alternative and i will send you come config files if needed.

rc.sendmail
Could someone please explain rc.sendmail to me? I am unclear why it does what it does. I currently have everything enabled in rc.conf: mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail" sendmail_enable="YES" (1) sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" sendmail_submit_enable="YES" (2) sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" (3) sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" (4) sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" With the above settings, when I do a 'make start', only (1) and (4) get started. If I set sendmail_enable="NO", then only (2) and (4) start. If I set sendmail_enable="NO" and sendmail_submit="NO", then only (3) and (4). This doesn't make any sense to me. For starters, why would I ever want just (3) and (4) running? Furthermore, I can't seem to get (1), (3), and (4) to all start together. I imagine people would want those three since you need your main sendmail running, and you could have a need for an "always-on" queue runner for mqueue and clientmqueue. Thanks.

If the flash plugin is making direct calls to pthread functions, you'll probably have to provide some sort of compatibility wrappers for those as well, as the pthreads interface make use of lots of implementation specific data types supplied by the caller. These types are not likely to have the same definitions in Linux and FreeBSD. Check the documentation of all pthread* functions referenced in the plugin, then find out the definitions of the types of their arguments from pthread.h on each platform. For example: pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex, const pthread_mutexattr_t *attr); On FreeBSD, pthread_mutex_t and pthread_mutexattr_t are pointers, on Linux they are structs. $.02, /Mikko ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Start by reading the Porter's Handbook -- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html This will tell you how to create the port directory with it's Makefile, pkg-descr and pkg-plist (and possibly other) files. Once you've developed a port skeleton that works correctly and that portlint(1) is happy with, you can submit it via send-pr(1) -- see section 2.6 of the Porter's Handbook for details.

sendmail config for desktop
I am running 4.7-RELEASE. When I installed freeBSD I made the localhost
name fuzz.
I am now attempting to get mutt running on this computer.
I cannot send email to the outside world. My email is rejected because
the doamin part of the address includes the localhost name "fuzz". So
instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which is what the ISP expects, mail
is sent out as being from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
In one attempt to get things working, I edited freebsd.mc in a couple of
places. I defined 'SMART_HOST' as my isp, and included a line
MASQUERADE_AS('socal.rr.com'). I did make cf, and make install. After
running sendmail -q it gives me an error message in sendmail.cf "line
66: unknown configuration line "\n"
I used ee editor to go to line 66 and deleted what was apparently blank.
Now when I run sendmail -q it's as though nothing occurs, I don't even
get a mail message telling me my email was rejected.
How can I remove fuzz from my address? Dynamite? I have very little hair
left, and this day has been really rough on what is left. It's being
ripped out in big chunks. Sendmail documentation seems to be setup for
server configuration. I have not been able to find anything for a
standalone desktop that answers these questions. I've spent two days
studying about and configuring mutt. Should I just stick with kmail?
Thanks, I really needed to vent!

Yes.
It's raining in Saskatoon. Feels like a rant coming on. :-)
Fully define the requirements before choosing the technology.
MySQL *might* be overkill. I could recommend anything from flat files to
Oracle, though, and be wrong, depending on exactly what it is you want
to accomplish. For a simple key/value hash that you might encounter in
the decades old "album catalogue" problem, Berkeley DB, or maybe Perl's
built-in %hash functions would be the way to go.
Consider your requirements. What is the system for? Who will be using
it? What hidden and evident features must it have? What *tasks* (a.k.a.
"use cases") will the users carry out? What other less tangible goals
are to be accomplished by the system? Which constraints and standards
must the system adhere to?
Once you have the above, you can begin to consider the architecture of
your system, and, once you've done that, choosing a specific technology
might be appropriate.
Requirements specification is *never* overkill.
As far as defining less tangible goals, though, "I want to learn ${X}"
is a valid goal.
Hope this helps,
- Ryan

gnome2 running issues
Okay, I have gnome compiled and running and for the most part, things seem to function okay. However, on startup, there are several dialogs telling me it cannot load certain applets (clock, tasklist, etc). They all reference the same missing file of: /usr/X11R6/lib/libgen_util_applet-2.so and what I have in that directory is libgen_util_applet-2.a. Is it just a matter of finding that .so file and dropping it in (doubt it), or did a dependancy fail and somehow everything finished without error msgs? Also, has anyone gotten /usr/ports/mail/evolution to work with current /usr/ports/x11/gnome2? Anytime I start it is fails out, the first failure being it can't find libgnome.so. I double checked, and evolution 1.4 is supposed to be gnome2 complaint, so I am not sure why it would be looking for gnome1 .so's.

Looks like you have quite a few missing libraries. libgen_util_applet-2.so comes as part of x11/gnomepanel. Evo is a GNOME 2 app, and should depend at all on libgnome.so, but rather libgnome-2.so. You might want to reinstal x11/libgnome, then reinstall Evo.

There is info on what hardware is supported and a list of various

From my experience FreeBSD is far simpler to get up and running than
windows is.
It is much quicker to install than windows is, too.

Even if you don't see your hardware listed, why not make a partition
("slice" in FreeBSD parlance) and try to install it? If something doesn't
work, well, you haven't lost any money. At that point you might try Linux
(Gentoo, while not necessarily the easiest distro to install, is probably
the one most similar to some aspects of FreeBSD), because the larger Linux
user base tends to result in quicker availability of drivers.

Re: rc.sendmail
Okay, before people send more responses... Yes, I have looked at man rc.sendmail and I do understand how everything works. My question is WHY was it designed to behave they way it does? Why isn't rc.sendmail setup such that you can start the listening daemon for inbound, queue runner for outbound, and the msp queue runner. (Currently, you cant start that config with rc.conf and rc.sendmail due to rc.sendmail's logic) Obviously, you can't run the localhost submission daemon AND the port 25 remote daemon listening for inbound. For that case, it is either one or the other - so that part of rc.sendmail makes sense. But if I select "YES" to enable both the mqueue runner and the clientmqueue runner in rc.conf, the rc.sendmail script will not perform this. The logic of rc.sendmail will only start mqueue if sendmail and sendmail submit are set to "NO". Likewise, if you select sendmail "YES", then the only other thing you can run is the clientmqueue runner. In my case, I need to run the sendmail daemon, the mqueue runner, and the clientmqueue runner. In other words, I need the following at startup: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1h /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mqueue -qp5m /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-clientmqueue -Ac -qp5m rc.conf and rc.sendmail cannot startup what I want. As a result, I have to do sendmail_enable="NONE", and then from rc.local startup what I want manually. Why can't rc.sendmail be designed such that whatever has "YES" in rc.conf will get started?

And there is nothing quite as motivating as a task *you* want to do.
Especially compared against "class assignment" or something the boss
thinks should be done.

cvsup src-all fails on new, local cvsup repository (trying to cvsupRELENG_4_8)
We have ~50 freebsd servers here where I work. Rather than cvsup'ing all of 'em from geographically local sites, I've built a box to house a cvs repository. I built net/cvsup and net/cvsup-mirror, and installed both. It's done the initial cvsup of the entire repository, and everything looks fine on that end. Tonight, I wanted to test it, so decided to have the box cvsup itself from it's repository. It failed. Here's the cvsup output: mirrorbox# cvsup -g -L 2 ~/stable-supfile Parsing supfile "/root/stable-supfile" Connecting to localhost Connected to localhost Server software version: SNAP_16_1h Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Server message: Unknown collection "src-all" Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection Running Skipping collection src-all/cvs Shutting down connection to server Finished successfully /var/log/cvsupd.log gives the same information, as does syslog. I've been working on this most of the evening, finally decided to post a question to -questions. I'm using the supfile that net/cvsup-mirror provides, and I'll paste it in at the bottom. Please e-mail replies, I'm not a member of the -questions list.
