problem when building dovecot-sieve with the new dovecot port

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sbin/setkey.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sbin.
I have narrow down the issue. The issue is with /usr/src/sbin/setkey/token.l .
The relevant section from token.l:
{quotedstring} {
char *p = yytext;
while (*++p != '') ;
*p = '\0';
yytext++;
yylval.val.len = yyleng - 2;
yylval.val.buf = strdup(yytext);
if (!yylval.val.buf)
yyfatal(insufficient memory);
return(QUOTEDSTRING);
}
The variable yytext is declared as follows inside the token.c:
extern char yytext[];
But the variable yytext is not declared in any file in /usr/src/sbin/setkey/.
Comment out yytext++; line cleanly compiles the token.c.
Similar use of token.l is there in /usr/src/sbin/devd/. The variable yytext is
used but no increment operator is used on it and it is also not declared in any
file in /usr/src/sbin/devd/, but that token.c get cleanly compiles.
Is it an error/mistake to have an yytext++; line inside token.l? What should
be the correct fix for this?
KInd regards
Unga

FreeBSD single user?
Hi BSD Gurus. I am in dire need of your help today. I purchased an iomega NAS device which runs on FreeBSD. I happened to incorrectly change root password and now I am stuck. I am not a FreeBSD expert to figure this out. This device does not have a USB connecter nor a cdrom drive. It only has Keyboard, Video and RS232 connector along with a couple of RJ45's for network access. Having said that, I have tried the following after doing a lot of researching on the internet: I could get to to this stage, bootloader stage 2: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: At the boot: prompt I am trying to get into single user mode by typing boot: /kernel -s It does go into single user mode, I think and I get the following display: Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: At this point when I type RETURN or /bin/sh nothing gets echoed to the screen. I think if I could get to proceed from this point, I could be saved. However when I type ? at the boot: prompt, I get to see a number of options: . .. dev kernel etc cdrom proc dist bin boot mnt modules root sbin tmp user sys .cshrc .profile COPYRIGHT model compat u3 lost+found markversion home cgi-bin share1 share2 share3 share4 ... share 16 I none of above options work at the boot: prompt. The only things that work are /kernel and /boot/loader. Any any ideas to get me to type something here at the single user prompt would be helpful or any other suggestions you might have...like be able to use the RS232 to connect an external CDRom drive or something so I could boot off the cd in rescue mode or any other ideas. iomega is not giving me any support since this product is out of warranty and they don't support it any more...not even for a price. Appreciate any of the FreeBSD experts helping me out here.

PPS and thunderbird
Hi, I'm using thunderbird to read my mail and I'm not able to open directly the attachments .pps. Actually I get a lot of file like this for my work, and it's quite boring to have to save them in a directory and then read them with openoffice. When I try to read them zith tunderbird, the mime type is not recognized, this is an unknown type and the application proposed is mplayer (don't ask why...). Then i could choose the right application and open it, but the button remember the choice is not available, so I have to choose manually the program evertytime, this is also quite boring. So my questions are: Why pps file are not recognized as powerpoint file? Why am I not able to keep remember the choice to open .pps file with openoffice?

You could transfer files in multiple ways other than copying files to a usb stick and mounting it in freebsd. To mount a fat32 volume in freebsd use 'mount -t msdos /path/to/device /mountpoint' and simply copy the files from the mountpoint.

second pre-emptive raid: stripes and the os
based on the excellent ideas from the first pre-emptive raid thread we have been considering raid1+0 or raid5 for our server, but we need to gain a better understanding of striping. the mirror concept was easy particularly through dru's Using Software RAID-1 with FreeBSD: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1 the stripe idea is creating some issues. having gone through both geom and vinum sections of the handbook, we are confused as to just how stripes fit in with the os. what we have found on the web sofar is this article on the freebsdwiki: http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/RAID0,_Software,_How_to_setup both this article and the geom docs require an installed os, from which you create the striped device. so if we had 4 drives da0-3, we could install the os on da0 and then create a stripe /dev/stripe/st0 with da1-3. however, there would be no os on there (and most of da0 would be empty). (i suppose you can dd stuff onto st0, but that seems a bit strange.) so in a straight striped situation with 4 physical drives, how can you get the os on there? where does it reside? is it supposed to be striped across the 4 drives? or is this the wrong way to look at it. should we be directing our thoughts to striping across partitions that we create over various drives after the os has been installed on a small part of the first drive? is raid only for data or does the os get raided too? -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm the webmaster for www.marssociety.org, which is a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE box running on a dual-core AMD Opteron setup with 4GB of RAM. The box is reasonably busy, as it's the sole piece of hardware running web, database, and mail operations for the Mars Society, an international nonprofit group dedicated to space exploration. We regularly send out newsletters to ~10,000 members, and our web site is averaging ~50,000-100,000 hits/day. The main portion of the web site is run via the Zope/Plone CMS system (Plone 2.5, for anyone who may care). Recently, it's been slowing down dramatically, and our Plone guy (not me -- I inherited the system and can't stand it) can't figure out why. I've been diving into OS-related issues, and in so doing, I ran across what appears to be a very high number of context switches going on. Here's some sample output from vmstat 2: procs memory page disk faults cpu r b w avmfre flt re pi po fr sr ad4 in sy cs us sy id 2 5 0 1311980 410176 702 1 0 0 587 9 0 544 3194 954 49 2 49 2 5 0 1311980 4101722 0 0 0 3 0 6 316 3599 3749 51 2 47 2 5 0 1313804 409348 659 0 0 0 480 0 12 381 9903 8141 52 4 44 2 5 0 1311188 4099083 0 0 0 81 0 0 430 12153 9019 53 4 43 2 5 0 1311188 409904 140 0 0 0 123 0 14 462 11912 8323 50 4 47 2 5 0 1311700 410224 76 0 0 0 113 0 1 612 6791 5749 53 2 46 1 5 0 1311532 409936 721 0 0 0 597 0 0 207 851 531 54 1 45 2 5 0 1308908 4105082 0 0 0 80 0 6 382 10527 8253 50 4 46 1 5 0 1307084 411344 10 0 0 0 115 0 0 398 13087 8903 48 4 48 2 5 0 1307112 4112886 0 0 0 7 0 3 440 11023 8619 54 2 44 2 5 0 1313604 404780 883 0 0 0 80 0 10 480 13711 10526 52 4 44 1 5 0 1315320 404468 37 0 0 0 0 0 0 629 1651 2509 50 1 48 2 5 0 1360792 367620 4926 0 0 0 315 0 14 346 7631 3078 60 2 38 2 5 1 1371172 366348 268 0 0 0 103 0 0 527 9903 8926 51 3 46 2 5 0 1361772 372800 1002 0 0 0 1807 0 0 571 11340 8572 54 6 40 3 5 0 1356132 373348 135 0 0 0 198 0 0 884 11792 9699 50 4 46 1 5 0 1344928 380692 78 0 0 0 986 0 0 552 15652 13671 50 5 45 Unfortunately, this is the only busy FreeBSD box I have access to, so I have no good way of telling if the values I'm seeing are abnormal or not. Can anyone tell me if these numbers look high, or if anything from the vmstat output above looks abnormal and should be followed up on?

Re: Error kio_media_mounthelper cdrom not accessible for normal users

I have changed permissions on the device. And I still cannot access it as a normal non-root user. How do I make it work? Try this. 1) as root: add the following line to the end of your /etc/sysctl.conf file vfs.usermount=1 2) as root: Invite your user to the operator group 3) as root: chmod 660 /dev/acd0 4) as root: add this lines to the end of your /etc/devfs.conf file own /dev/acd0 root:operator perm/dev/acd0 0660 5) as root: edit your /etc/fstab to add a line like this: /dev/acd0 /home/youruser/media cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0 6) as root: issue the following command: /etc/rc.d/devfs restart 7) as user: create a media folder inside your home folder (the thing is that users can only mount on folders they own ...)

Hope it works your you. That's the way it works for me :) -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
