Install Linux in FreeBSD
Hi again list, Is it possible to run a VM machine in your freebsd server in which inside that VM you are running on it a Linux environment? coul it be? You would rather want to know why do I want that set up? Simply because I want to install a Quickbooks Enterprise solutions Database manager in Linux, further, Freebsd doesn't support the Quickbooks (also vice versa) it only runs or support in Linux..thats the reason guys.. Could some one give me some idea how will I do that? Thanks..

A sed question
Hi all
I want to translate following GNU sed lines to FreeBSD sed:
1. sed -e '/\*address:/{n;[EMAIL PROTECTED]@replaceText @}'
2. sed -e '/\*address:/{n;[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Appreciate if someone could help with it.
Is there a good documentation about FreeBSD sed other than man page?
Kind regards

deciding we would be using zxtm load balancers
(http://www.zeus.com/products/zxtm/) which were better suited for us
overall.
Vince,
With a little TrafficScript, you can do exactly this with ZXTM, so perhaps
management made a good choice =).
Here's a simple TrafficScript rule I've used to connect POP3 connections to
two different groups of POP3 servers based on username:
$req = request.getLine();
if( string.regexmatch( $req, USER ([^\\s]*)) ) {
$user = $1;
if( $user == owen ) {
pool.use( local pop servers );
}
if( $user == owen.garrett ) {
pool.use( gmail pop servers );
}
# Otherwise, drop the connection
connection.discard();
}
The 'gmail pop servers' pool is configured to use SSL to connect to gmail's
servers on port 995, so you can use this technique to bridge between plain
pop3 (port 110) on the client and SSL-wrapped connections on the server too.
Talk to Zeus' support team - they will be more than able and willing to help
you configure ZXTM with a bit of TrafficScript to do what you need...

problem with sendmail and su
Hello. I use FreeBSD 7 with sendmail. I have a problem for sending email. More precisely, with the sender of the mail. When I'm logged to my machine in root, the mail is sent with [EMAIL PROTECTED] with sender. OK, no problems. When I'm logged to my machine in nicolas, the mail is sent with [EMAIL PROTECTED] with sender. OK, no problems. However, when I'm logged in nicolas to my machine, and if I do a su root or su - root, and I send a mail, the sender will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Re: quota and sendmail accepts 10k mail size
Hi Derek, It is good to hear from you. You are right about sendmail has only global option to limit mail size. However, my company wants to have 20meg mbox space per user. If the User exceeds, he/she should not recieved any mail. So, I use system quota to prevent sendmail from writing to mbox of a user which is under quota.Sendmail should bounce the mail and reply to sender with this kind of error: - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reason: 550 5.0.0 output error) Here is my configs: I enable quota to /var and /home filesystem /dev/ipsd0s1f /home ufs rw,userquota 2 2 /dev/ipsd0s1d /var ufs rw,userquota 2 2 # qouta -v user.underquota Disk quotas for user user.underquota (uid 1333): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /home 210 20480 20480 11 0 0 /var 62960* 20480 20480 none 1 0 0 As you can see here, user.underquota already exceeded the limit (soft and hard). If I try to send a mail to this user more than 13k mail size, sendmail cannot write to this mbox (since mbox of a user is located in /var/mail) and will reply with an error message. At first I thought it was working, however, when i try to send 10k, 7k, 5k or less mail size, sendmail can write to user.underquota mbox. User file permition: #ls -l -rw-rw 1 user.underquota mail 64413589 Jul 8 09:54 user.underquota So, what do you think? Do i missed some config? or this is a bug? Thank you.

What is wrong that FreeBSD sees only about 2.5GB instead of 6GB? (I ran into this question recently when buying a computer, and did some homework on it, however my understanding may be off the mark.) As mentioned in earlier replies, the problem isn't caused by the OS, but is a limitation of the i386 architecture, in which each byte of memory is indexed by a 32-bit integer. This means that an i386 machine can use only 2^32 bytes, i.e., 4 GB, of memory --- unless one uses pae(4). Some of the 2^32 addresses are used by devices like the video card, and by the BIOS. For instance, if the machine has a video card with 512 MB of video RAM, this means that less than 3.5 GB of memory can be used. It seems a safe bet in such a case to install at most 3 GB of memory.

That was indeed the difference between the GNU sed and the FreeBSD sed in this

require similar semicolon.

gvinum rename doesn't work on drive objects
I have been struggling with gvinum over the last few days, and have recently hit an interesting problem: the 'rename' command in gvinum doesn't appear to work on drive objects in 7.0-RELEASE. I initially created three drive objects to support my RAID-5 gvinum setup, named 'r0', 'r1' and 'r2'. Straightaway, I realised that this was not the naming scheme I had intended to use, but rather than deleting and recreating them, I tried renaming to 'rA', 'rB' and 'rC'. This appeared to complete successfully, I created the appropriate volume and plex, newfs(8)ed the filesystem, and mounted it as appropriate. However, on rebooting the machine (some days later) I discovered that the rename operation did not persist across a reboot. Thus, I have three drives named 'r0', 'r1' and 'r2', and a RAID-5 plex that looks for drives to attach to subdisks named 'rA', 'rB' and 'rC'. It fails to load successfully, and I am left without a running volume... especially irritating as it contains my /usr filesystem. No amount of booting to single user and issuing 'rename r0 rA', with or without 'saveconfig', results in a drive name change that persists across reboots. I have tried deleting and recreating the drive objects with the correct names, but all that manages to do is panic the kernel on the create step, with the attached panic message. I realise this is an entirely separate question. Any ideas? I have attached my dmesg, and I'm using 7.0-RELEASE-p2.

Which VIA CPUs have hardware RNG support?
I am trying to figure out which VIA CPUs support hardware RNG under recent FreeBSD. I've been looking at things on 7.0-RELEASE-p2. If there is something that else I should be looking at, please let me know. Based on 'man 4 random' I see: The only hardware implementation currently is for the VIA C3 Nehemiah (stepping 3 or greater) CPU. More will be added in the future. Poking around in the kernel I see that indeed nehemiah and yarrow seem to be the only random sources there. From 'usr/src/sys/i386/i386/initcpu.c': SYSCTL_UINT(_hw, OID_AUTO, via_feature_rng, CTLFLAG_RD, via_feature_rng, 0, VIA C3/C7 RNG feature available in CPU); Based on all this and some reading on wikipedia, my best guess is that C3 Nehemiah and later and all C7 support the hardware RNG.

snippet of configure script - explain please
I get errors building ports/graphviz on FBSD 6.3 on alpha.
It seems the error is due to configure script erroneously
deciding that there is no strncasecmp function on OS.
Based on config.log:
configure:9333: result: no
configure:9253: checking for strncasecmp
I think the following configure snippet is to blame.
Could somebody explain, at least in general terms,

Re: [freebsd-questions] Re: bind94 security update (UNOFFICIAL)
David, You are very wise to ask If you look at the changes, there are NO changes to what FTP site the binary is picked up from, there are NO additional files inserting patches, etc. I have only changed the PORTREVISION so that portupgrade and the likes will notice it, and the distinfo since there is a new binary and asc. If you check the make, it actually uses the .asc file to verify the contents. Had I added any FTP/HTTP sites, additional patches, etc I wouldn't have even published this. But in my opinion, since I only bump the revision and give new checksums for files that are taken off a previous distribution site, I don't feel people are in danger of taking them over. As dougb says, its just as easy to officially D/L it from the source site and compile by hand. I was just doing this in the hopes that people wanted a make;make install or portupgrade ... could have it quickly. Tuc For those like me who don't know any better.

PAE Compilation Error
Good Day, I suppose now I am paying for questioning TUC's credibility huh?!?!?

Re: Which VIA CPUs have hardware RNG support?
Joseph Gleason wrote: I am trying to figure out which VIA CPUs support hardware RNG under recent FreeBSD. I've been looking at things on 7.0-RELEASE-p2. If there is something that else I should be looking at, please let me know. Based on 'man 4 random' I see: The only hardware implementation currently is for the VIA C3 Nehemiah (stepping 3 or greater) CPU. More will be added in the future. Poking around in the kernel I see that indeed nehemiah and yarrow seem to be the only random sources there. From 'usr/src/sys/i386/i386/initcpu.c': SYSCTL_UINT(_hw, OID_AUTO, via_feature_rng, CTLFLAG_RD, via_feature_rng, 0, VIA C3/C7 RNG feature available in CPU); Based on all this and some reading on wikipedia, my best guess is that C3 Nehemiah and later and all C7 support the hardware RNG. Can anyone confirm this? If you don't get any answers here, try freebsd-hardware@ mailing list. AFAIK (I don't have the hardware), the source is correct and C7 is also supported.

User properties and how to make files with a specific group owner
Hi, I've not had to set this up and so far my efforts have proven less than successful. I'm working on a web project with my father and one other developer. I need to have it so that our user id's, when creating files in the directory we share the source code in, create the files with the group id common to the three of us. How do I do this? I thought that it would be that I change the primary group membership from the group ID equal to our userid's to the shared group name (in this case www). However, this doesn't seem to be doing it. I've done this on the three of our user ids, but when I checked it (checking out files from subversion), all of the files were still owned by, in my case, UID=andy and GID=andy. How do I get this to stop working like this and create files with UID=andy GID=www?

Re: snippet of configure script - explain please
On Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:55 am, Anton Shterenlikht wrote:
I get errors building ports/graphviz on FBSD 6.3 on alpha.
It seems the error is due to configure script erroneously
deciding that there is no strncasecmp function on OS.
Based on config.log:
configure:9333: result: no
This probably the result for the previous check; probably strcasecmp
configure:9253: checking for strncasecmp
I think the following configure snippet is to blame.
Could somebody explain, at least in general terms,
what this piece of code does.
many thanks

9250 for ac_func in strcasecmp strncasecmp
9251 do
9252 as_ac_var=`echo ac_cv_func_$ac_func | $as_tr_sh`
This is eqivalent to:
as_ac_var=ac_cv_func_strcasecmp
or:
as_ac_var=ac_cv_func_strncasecmp
depending on which time through the loop.
9253 { echo $as_me:$LINENO: checking for $ac_func 5
9254 echo $ECHO_N checking for $ac_func... $ECHO_C 6; }
These lines simplly write reports of one type or another (including to
config.log ?)
The $ECHO_N and $ECHO_C are to cater for different versions of 'echo' wrt line
feeds.
9255 if { as_var=$as_ac_var; eval test \\${$as_var+set}\ = set; }; then
I find this line somewhat strange as I've not been able
to find documentation for the expansion of ${parameter+set} under the Bourne
shell.
(nor bash, nor ksh)

Presumably someone out there knows where to find it?

But it seems that it returns set if parameter has been assigned a value and
null otherwise.
Unless strcasecmp, strncasecmp have already been checked one expects these will
fail
so the 'else' section is executed.
9256 echo $ECHO_N (cached) $ECHO_C 6
9257 else
9258 cat conftest.$ac_ext _ACEOF
9259 /* confdefs.h. */
9260 _ACEOF
9261 cat confdefs.h conftest.$ac_ext
9262 cat conftest.$ac_ext _ACEOF
9263 /* end confdefs.h. */
This is the start of the build of a C program to test if the library function
exists.
But we've barely started -- the guts of the check is still to come.
One would expect that if it does not exist the configuration would implement
some alternative action so even then I would not expect the built to fail.

as_tr_sh :
549 # Sed expression to map a string onto a valid variable name.
550 as_tr_sh=eval sed 'y%*+%pp%;s%[^_$as_cr_alnum]%_%g'

as_me :

ntpd(8) - bind only to specified interfaces?
Having read the man page (also, ntp.conf(5)), it is not apparent that there is a way to tell it to bind only to a particular interface (or particular interfaces). It would be nice if there is actually such a feature, so I figured I'd ask. Definitely not a major problem is this isn't possible right now, but I figure if it's only going to be receiving NTP requests on one interface, it may as well not listen on the others.

Your question could qualify as a FAQ, so it might help in the future to check recent posts or the archives first. Definitely not a major problem is this isn't possible right now, but I figure if it's only going to be receiving NTP requests on one interface, it may as well not listen on the others. The alternative is openntpd (available in ports). Fairly straightforward to set up and use. The caveats are the provided rc script could use some work (see my recent post with the subject of rc scripts), there's no logging (ibid), using it may result in occasional calcru errors (see my recent post on that subject), and reading the overbrief manpage requires remembering to run man -M /usr/local ntpd. I did say straightforward, right? ;-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
