mod_rewrite does not work with apache13-modssl and enabled modaccel
Hello I compiled apache13-modssl with WITH_APACHE_MODACCEL=YES. With enabled MODACCEL my mod_rewrite does not work as expected. I get this error message: [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] attempt to make remote request from mod_rewrite without proxy enabled: proxy:http://mysite/foobar/traffic System: Freebsd 4.11 Apache13-modssl port from 1.

Hey, if you're trying to ping the whole internet, then it's only logical to send the packet out via the default gateway... Seriously though, this is a difference in routing implementations. FreeBSD seems to be treating the 255.255.255.255 address just like any other IP address, matching it against the networks and masks it has in its routing table, and from that deducing that the default route is the appropriate destination. Linux on the other hand seems to have code to special case the all-ones address. Or perhaps it simply recognises 255.255.255.255 as the broadcast address complementary to the default network, which is 0.0.0.0/0. I have no idea if the all-ones IP address is meant to be special or not. It wouldn't surprise me if treating it that way was a Linux specific extension. The sort of case where this sort of thing would be appropriate -- such as dhcp clients needing to communicate on a network before knowing what the local IP network number is -- is handled perfectly well under FreeBSD using layer 2 (ethernet) broadcasts, plus there is already a reserved IP range specifically intended for contacting DHCP severs in situations where layer 2 alone won't cut it.

Re: Can you install packages from STABLE in RELEASE?
Am 04.08.2006 um 01:19 schrieb Henry Lenzi: Hi -- I'm currently running 6.0-SECURITY My portsnap tells me of a bunch of ports that have updates that, when I head directly for an ftp site, I find on a STABLE tree (like kde-3.5.3 - actually 3.5.2 until yesterday) For instance, ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ packages-6.0-release/x11/ lists kde-3.4.2.tbz Can I install these on RELEASE? If not, why does portsnap even suggest them? The ports tree has no branches (like RELENG_5 or RELENG_6). Portsnap get's you the current state of the ports tree into /usr/ports. You can install them from that source on a supported FreeBSD release (like 6.0-pX == RELENG_6_0), using the usual ways to build ports (cd / usr/ports/xxx/yyy; make install or portinstall). When a release is built, the binary packages that go onto the CDs are built from the then-current ports tree. The FTP servers carry what got included in the CDs, so those packages will never change. The stable packages on the FTP servers are regularly built with the current ports tree. Since they are built on a stable release (FreeBSD-6-stable == RELENG_6), they might work on an early release, but that is not guaranteed. If you want to use these packages, you should have a fairly recent stable release. To sum it up: you can install/upgrade the ports, but you cannot install the stable packages on a security release.

This is cool and all, but why are the concentration solely on PCI devices? pciconf output doesn't tell you directly what CPUs are in the system or even how many there are. It doesn't tell you exactly what sort of memory or disk drives the system uses -- all of which would be important information that might just persuade hardware manufacturers to provide more FreeBSD support. Surely a condensed version of /var/run/dmesg.boot is more to the point. It's not just about how many machines there are that might use a particular manufacturer's devices either, it's about how much money the users of those machines are prepared to spend. For instance, I could see that a manufacturer of, say, RAID controllers might well be more interested in providing FreeBSD support if they knew there was a pent up demand for using their models in top of the line servers rather than the same number of uses based on cheaper, small scale kit. I could take two identical motherboards stick 1GB of RAM, a single 40GB IDE drive and a low-spec single core processor in one, and in the other I could have two dual core top of the range processors, 8GB ECC RAM and a terabyte of storage using 15k rpm SAS drives. pciconf probably wouldn't distinguish between those two specifications.

Questions inregards to NATD
Hello, I apologize for taking your time, howevr I was unable to find an answer to my question inside the online documentation. I have installed FreeBSD 5.4 on P1 Super Socket 7 system (533 mhz.) I have installed 2 Adaptec Ana-6944 cards, these cards have 4 ports on each. I have a seperate D Link card, that is supported. My question is, all the online documentation has indicated the usage for the natd daemon is used for Network Address Translation, however it doesnt indicate weather I can use all 8 ports ( 4 from each card) as LAN ports, with the DLink's connection as the WAN port. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer me.

strange behavior webpages
Hello, I have a very strange problem with my served webpages. When I open the webpages from my server with my ibook, while connected to my wireless network, everything goes fine. But when I refresh a website or when Safari is not grabbing it from its cache the page returns corrupted. The page shown is a bunch of random characters. After each refresh the stream of charachters is changed. On my PC the page is still corrupted, but with a refresh the characters are still the same. When I open a terminal screen on my server and look at the file this happens: %less data/www/networkstats.html "data/www/networkstats.html" may be a binary file. See it anyway? and %file data/www/networkstats.html data/www/networkstats.html: data After some time (about a day or so) the file gets back to its normal state, being a html file and it is served well again. I thougth it would be a problem of my ibook, but when I connect to the website while using my wired network the problem does not occur. Also not when I am connected to a wireless network other than my own. Webpages served from my secure webserver don't get messed up, also dynamic pages (CGI/PHP) don't get messed up exept for the images that are on those pages. For my wireless connection I use a wireless PCI card (Netgear MA311 with latest firmware) on the serverside and the airport extreme from my ibook G4. The connection is WEP encrypted by standard FreeBSD modules. I already tried to use a different version of apache (currenty using apache-2.0.55_4), but it didn't fix the problem. I tried finding a useful error or things in my logfiles but I can't find anything. I suspect some of the drivers for my wireless device (wi) to corrupt the files, problem is that even if I chmod 000 a file it still gets corrupted. I use: FreeBSD 6.0 apache-2.0.55_4 some dmesg output: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar 8 19:48:39 CET 2006 CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz (2668.41-MHz 686-class CPU) wi0: mem 0xfafff000-0xfaff irq 21 at device 10.0 on pci1 wi0: [GIANT-LOCKED] wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.8.4) Can anyone help me on this, or does anybody has some kind of the same problems? cheers Guido Demmenie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Is this > possible? If you can configure all 8 ports with ifconfig, you shouldn't have any problems using them for NAT. If you want to use all internal ports in the same network, I suggest you only give on of them an IP address, configure it for NAT and then use if_bridge to connect it with the other ones. Otherwise you could run into routing problems. Note that you don't have to use natd for NAT, you can also use PF and safe some cpu time. If your system has other work to do and you have lots of connections, it could make a difference. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I'm using 6.1-STABLE. I'm confused as to why you would _want_ to have an IP on pflog0. It's just a pseudo-interface for using tcpdump to view pflogd's activity. I can't see any benefit to assigning an IP to it. If you do have a legit need to do so, you're going to have to assign it a static. Since it's not a real interface, it has no network connectivity, and thus can't talk to any DHCP servers. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It's trying to get a DHCP address because you have told it to, right

is a way to do it with rc scripts; feel free to investigate :-). Or
just try "ifconfig pflog0 down; ifconfig pflog0 up" but it may try and
remember your DHCP setting).

Building from source code is the standard way to update FreeBSD. By editing appropriate configuration files you can produce a fairly customized installation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html describes the basics. You also have the option of doing a minimal install in the first place, and then adding additional pieces as you wish. Another approach to a customized FreeBSD is the nanobsd project, which has tools to let you build a stripped-down FreeBSD that is small enough to run from a floppy disk (although these days a usb flash drive is probably a more common target): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nanobsd.html There are preconfigured nanobsd builds to make firewalls, routers, and other common tools. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As I understand it, Linux from Scratch is all about building a Linux box without using the packaging etc. provided by any of the various Linux distributions. The challenge is to take all of the source code from all of the various development groups and integrate it into a working system yourself. The concept doesn't really map onto FreeBSD. The OS -- kernel, system libraries, standard applications -- is developed as a unified thing. There aren't really any alternate distributions in the same sense as there are for Linux, although projects like Freesbie, pfsense and DesktopBSD are heading in that sort of direction. Once you've downloaded the system sources, done a make buildworld etc., installed everything and rebooted[*], that's it: done. You've got a working FreeBSD system. Which kind of takes away the point of the 'from Scratch' idea. It's too easy... Third party software installed from ports is literally compiling from source code as Linux from Scratch advocates -- OK, software installed from ports does get registered in the pkg system, and it can be bundled up into a pkg tarball and copied to another machine to be installed there (which is exactly what the packages are on the FreeBSD FTP sites).

amarok lyrics: proxy and ruby?
I have amarok-1.4.1 and works great... but i'm not able to fetch lyrics, I tried various ruby scripts but I got same results: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:562:in `initialize': Invalid argument - connect(2) (Errno::EINVAL) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:562:in `connect' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:48:in `timeout' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' . The same result occurred with the previous amarok version (I think it was 1.4.0a). Before that lyrics fetched ok. I'm behind a non transparent proxy, so probably the problem is http.rb don't knowing about my proxy. Should I try to hack the http.rb code to enable proxy? I'm asking here just in case someone shares this problem and knows a not so radical solution. :) Is there some place to define my proxy (besides env vars) for ruby? This would avoid problems for me in future ruby releases...

Cron is sending me output like: adjkerntz[33405]: sysctl(put_wallclock): Operation not permitted Is this entry needed in a jail's crontab to run adjkerntz and if so what setting do i have to alter on the host system to make it work?

.bash_logout and shutdown -- need ideas
Hi all, Have a bit of an issue here: Just started using a .bash_logout script to handle doing my unison commands whenever I logout at end of day so I don't forget to sync my local homedir to my server before I head home. Works fine as long as I just do a "# exit" when I'm done. But more often than not, I do a "# sudo shutdown -p now". The problem with that though, is that the shutdown process runs as root, and just drops the system, and I'm never actually getting logged out as much as booted out. So my .bash_logout doesn't run, and thus no unison unless I remember to run it manually first. Any ideas on how to work around this sitch?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

Thanks, DW Instead of using .bash_logout, why don't you create a script that runs all of your logout tasks and then ends with 'sudo shutdown -p now'? That's a good idea; I'll probably end up doing something like that; I was actually thinking of of just making bash aliases for reboot and shutdown, I guess that would do the same thing. The other problem though I just discovered is that that will work fine if I'm just in on a console, but if I'm running XFCE, and choose reboot or shutdown from xfce's exit menu, that won't work. If I can't find a way to get xfce to use my exit script(s), then I guess I'll just have to get into the habit of bailing out to a console first before shutting down. Andrew L.

You could write a script with your logout tasks followed by the command executed by XFCE's shutdown commands. (I'm sure someone on this list can address this part.) Next, create a button or menu option on XFCE's panel to execute your script from a terminal application. Andrew L.

It seems that this script, by means of /etc/rc.subr, will iterate all the files in (among others) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and call them with the "faststop" argument. Maybe you could just add a script in there? (Actually, only files with a "# PROVIDES" line are considered, it seems, so you should think about that).

cups problems
Like millions of other users, my printing capabilities came to an abrupt end when I upgraded cups to version 1.2. After weeks of wasting time on the problem, I'm still not printing. I've seen lots of hints and tips on this list and elsewhere, but they just don't work for me. I also get the sense they're not working for lots of other people either. I have a brand new (three months) laserjet printer, and I'll be damned if I have to reboot into Windows to use it! I can "downgrade" to an older cups, but that's not a permanent solution. Symptoms: Nothing happens when I print a file (or print test page). I've waited up to ten minutes. When I cancel the job and start a new one, I then get the following message in the cups admin page: "USB port busy; will retry in 30 seconds...". This message stays even after unplugging printer USB port. A restart of cupsd is necessary to make it go away.

SmartCard user authentication
Is anyone working on SmartCard user authentication in conjunction with Gnome? The company I work for wants to use SmartCards exclusively to logon to workstations, and has pretty much done so with Windows XP. My FreeBSD workstation is a Dell, with a SK-3106 USB keyboard with built-in SmartCard reader. I am thinking that PAM provides the hooks, but where do I find the middleware to read the card, request the PIN, and crosswalk a piece of data on the card to the local username? My card is labeled Oberthur Cosmopolic. The Oberthur web site describes an "ID One Cosmo" which looks about right. The write-up mentions Java and standards; anybody know what those are?

You have the permissions fixed, which was half the solution for me when I made the upgrade. The other half was to abandon cups' usb back-end for the time being, since it doesn't work (as well as it used to). The workaround suggested in an earlier thread on this subject was to stop cups and manually edit the printers.conf file (in /usr/local/etc/cups), replacing the "usb:" portion of the printer URI with "file:". This worked for me and several others, although I remember posts that it did not work for some.

That's what the port system came for. You cannot just put anything into the base system, even if it's lightweight. Perhaps many people love mc, but there are people who have never used it. (Personally, I prefer dired in Emacs.) And I believe you can always do much more with basic tools than you do with mc, right? ;-) Much more, given enough time/energy.

For them it is essential - they won't use csh. I regard Tcl as an "absolute necessary install" as that is my chosen scripting language. I put it on every box I use (even Windows). And that's the problem. As I personally don't use mc it's inclusion would be wasted on me. And if Tcl was included it would be wasted on many (most!) other people. I have to say I absolutely enjoy using FreeBSD, more so than any other OS. And part of that joy comes from the few minutes installation for the base OS. I used to use Redhat. My first outing with that was version 4.2. Then as time went on it no longer fitted on a single CD (after 6.2 IIRC.) And the clutter and junk it installed (presumably because someone thought it was essential or useful) was just appalling.

The printer "ready" light flashes as normal, but then the "attention" light flashes. Pressing the "go" button then prints out the job. According to the printer manual, this means either "manual feed" or "continuation error".

NIS and Kerberos 5 : is it possible / smart?
Hi all, Just wondering if it's possible for NIS and Kerberos 5 to work in tandem with one another, such that NIS would handle groups and configuration file management and Kerberos would handle authentication only. Also, is this sort of overkill perhaps, where NIS is not really needed? I basically have 3+ machines (2 desktops, 1 laptop, currently), and I want to keep my credentials and information uniform across the machines as much as possible. The network I would be implementing this on is a low-traffic, private network.

I would suggest that you try the following to see if you can pin down what the problem is. Run 'portsclean -C -D -L' to clean out any left over work directories and obsolete libraries. Then create a script of what actually happened when portmanager ran. This what I do: script -ak /PATH-TO-LOG/pm-update.log portmanager -u -l That will create a log file in the path you specify. If the same problem happens again, you could forward both that file and the one created by portmanager to the developer.

I am assuming that you attempted to start and configure MySQL manually after installing it. First of all, make sure you have : mysql_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf file. Now navigate to the /var/db directory. Either rename or delete the mysql directory. You have nothing in it since you did not get MySQL running. Now either reboot or navigate to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and as root type: ./mysql-server start It is possible yours is named different, so substiture the correct file name. That should create the directory with the proper permissions, etc. Now you can procede to configure MySQL for your users, etc. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] A person forgives only when they are in the wrong. pgpx5MJ9vnyQX.pgp Description: PGP signature

The problem I have is the following: I can get to the main admin page, but when I click on the add printer button it goes to a blank page. The same thing happens no matter what link I click on, they all go to a blank page. Has anything changed as far as configuration in the new version?

I am not a microsoft lover so i decided to use something else. my cdrom didnt want to read any of the iso's i downloaded before like ubuntu, dream linux and so forth. i went to the library and found a book tittled "freebsd in 24hrs" with companion cd. my pc read the cd and i was able to install freebsd i believe version 4 or something like that. I am very happy with it but would like to update the freebsd.I tried to get the freebsd to see the internet connection so that i can update from within freebsd but i havent been able to get it to see the dsl connection that is connected to a linksys router.I was hoping you can help me either set up the internet connection in freebsd or at least suggest which of the files I should download from this xp machine so that i can burn a cd and upgrade my freebsd machine. i dont know if its alpha, amd or which of the files. and also when i select the one you may suggest do i click iso link, and also..do i burn all the files shown for that option? i.e. bootonly, cd1, cd2, checksum and so forth.thank you. i hope to hear from you soon. i am very happy that my dead pc is alive again. thank you. - Yahoo!

Asus a8n-vm csm/nbp motherboard broken acpi workaround
Hi all A bit of googling suggested that the a8n-vm csm (without the nbp suffix) was an ok board, supported with FreeBSD after an acpi repair by Adriaan de Groot (http://people.fruitsalad.org/adridg/development.freebsd.php#a8nvm ), and on special in a local shop so I bought one. It turned out to be a variant called a8n-vm csm/nbp which also had a broken acpi and a slightly different bios so the repaired dsdt file from Adriaan didn't work. Here's what I got on boot: ACPI-0397: *** Error: NsSearchAndEnter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43045350 ACPI-0381: *** Error: Looking up [0x43045350] (NON-ASCII) in namespace, AE_BAD_CHARACTER Anyway I made my own dsdt file with his instructions and now it works. Just in case anyone was thinking of getting one of these boards, Adriaan has agreed to put my dsdt file on his site (I don't have web space) in the next week or so. If anyone wants a copy in the meantime let me know and I'll send it to you.

Both will boot you into a graphical interface and will configure your internet connection for you. I find PC-BSD a little easier to start with but both work well, both can use the ports collection and PC-BSD has a very easy install routine for commonly used programs.

Strange. I've checked on portsnap1.freebsd.org, and those files are definitely intact. Are you using an HTTP proxy? It's possible that it might have cached a broken version of those files.

BSDstats Project v1.0
'k folks ... the quick and dirty .. actually, not too dirty ... The attached script goes into /etc/periodic/monthly (and can be run from the command line) and is the *very* barebones ... it reports operating system and architecture ... it will return a unique id at the same time which will be used when we add in the pciconf output ... I have it recording two things: IP and hostname ... I figure it is highly unlikely for two hosts to ever have both identical, so a *fairly* safe unique key to work with ... and unless someone is running a whack of machines behind NAT with the same hostname, it gives us a safe unique counter for those behind NAT ... The backend is storing the data in a database right now, so what I'm curious most about is someone running behind NAT with a few servers, or behind a proxy, just to see what sort of results ... I'm going to try and get the pciconf output added into it later tonight, and will post a follow up, but this at leave gives something to test against ... Right now, there is no "output" on the web site, but I do have a link to, and daily run of, awstats, which will at least show some figures ... once there is data in the database, I'll start working up a stats page based on the #s there ... Note that once you've added this script, you need to add: monthly_statistics_enable="YES" to /etc/periodic.conf so that it will run monthly ... and, of course, you can run it manually, instead of waiting until the end of the month ... You can also run it as often as you like, it will only record one submission *per* month, but it will update the data based on the last submission (ie. if you upgrade, or add/remove hardware) ... Its a start ... will work on extending it to add the pciconf output next, and send a v2.0 script as soon as that is ready :) Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email .

In the not-quite-as-short term, hopefully nork can fix this. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Strange. I've checked on portsnap1.freebsd.org, and those files are definitely intact. Are you using an HTTP proxy? It's possible that it might have cached a broken version of those files. Could you look in /var/db/portsnap and tell me how large those two files are?

Re: portsnap oddities
I might just add that I had similar corruption issues using portsnap behind a transparent squid proxy. Not 100% of the time corruption, but fairly often. Changed the router rules to not proxy for this server and all has been well. Scott On Aug 4, 2006, at 11:49 PM, Gary Newcombe wrote: Yes, nail on the head methinks.

Everything seems to be working fine now. You can delete those two files; they were left behind because I forgot to handle the case of 'file download failed, portsnap gets run again, and then patch download succeeds'. The correct versions of the files are stored in the /var/db/portsnap/files/ directory. > Just clearing the cache > for the proxy didn't seem to solve the problem btw. It's possible that your cache gets confused by pipelined HTTP. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened...
