I'm sure the FreeBSD team makes sure all official packages have correct dependencies set. But, they have no control over unofficial packages others have put together. That's one drawback to using unofficial packages. When I installed OpenOffice from the ports tree, there were a few packages it depended on with licensing restrictions, like diablo-jdk for example, that had to be manually downloaded and put in /usr/ports/distfiles before the ports in question could be built. That might have something to do with there being no official binary OpenOffice package available. Even if you don't install from ports you could cd to the /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-??? directory for the version of OpenOffice you installed and issue: make missing which should give you a list of missing dependencies that need to be installed. You could then install via either ports or packages depending on what you prefer, and what's available.

man sh on Solaris for instance:
${parameter:+word}
If parameter is set and is non-null, substitute word;
otherwise substitute nothing.
In the above, word is not evaluated unless it is to be used
as the substituted string, so that, in the following exam-
ple, pwd is executed only if d is not set or is null:
echo ${d:-`pwd`}

The shorthand version would work too:
if ${foo+set} = 'set' ; then
bar
fi
The interesting bits in the Autoconf generated code are, however, the
side-effects of the expression:
* ${ac_var} is set to the name of the variable to check.
* The `ac_var' variable is expanded *twice* in the check. It is
expanded once before eval runs, to get the _name_ of the variable to
check, and then eval sees something like ${foo+set}.
* The assignment to `ac_var' is done inside a { ... } pair of
brackets; not in parentheses. This means that the rest of the
script can keep using ${ac_var} to find the name of the `autoconf
variable' this part of the script has set (the assignment to ac_var
happens in the current shell, and not in a sub-process).

Looks like your supposition is correct. I dug out an old DEC Ultrix manual
which ducuments an 'sh' shell and a 'sh5' shell the 'sh' being the normal
bsd version of the Bourne shell and 'sh5' being a compatibility version
for system V scripts. The former (bsd version) does not use the ':' in
parameter substitutions. But the system V version does.
Autotools claims to create
portable shell code, though they
also claim to make software developer's
lives easier.

Ldap NSS PAM Samba
I am trying to setup a FreeBSD server with samba that uses OpenLdap. I have installed everything and was doing some configuring. I set this all up once before on a Linux box, but I basically just went through the motions and really was not sure what all I did...but it worked. Now I want to understand everything so that I know exactly what all I did. :) I have the following: I installed OpenLdap which put ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc/openldap. I installed PAM which put ldap.conf.dist in /usr/local/etc. I installed NSS which put nss_ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc. From looking at them I assume that the last two are the same file and one of them just needs to be renamed to ldap.conf and configured for PAM and NSS, is that correct? The ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc/openldap is a different config file even though it has the same name? It is used for openldap and the other is used for PAM and NSS?

This syntax is certainly legitimate, and it is covered in the sh(1)
man page. However, the relevant section talks mostly about the related
form:
${parameter:+word}
which means 'evaluate to null unless ${parameter} is unset or null, otherwise evaluate to
word'. Then there's a very small and easily
missed note to the effect:
In the parameter expansions shown previously, use of the colon in the
format results in a test for a parameter that is unset or null; omission
of the colon results in a test for a parameter that is only unset.
So ${parameter+word} means 'evaluate to null unless ${parameter} is unset,
otherwise evaluate to word'
Cheers,
Matthew

Will there be an update through freebsd-update to upgrade to bind 9.4.2-p1, or is there some other process I need to followcompile source and replace?. I recommend you install one or other of the bind ports: dns/bin9 dns/bind94 dns/bind95 All of these were updated last night to include the UDP port randomization stuff in the latest security patch. (There's not much point in installing dns/bind9 though, as that's a downgrade to bind9.3 from the system supplied bind-9.4.2) You don't need to overwrite the base system bind -- the vulnerability works on the cache of a running instance of named when configured as a recursive resolver. So as long as you start up the patched daemon, everything should be fine. To start up the version of bind you just installed from ports, add named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named named_flags=-c /etc/namedb/named.conf to /etc/rc.conf and then run: /etc/rc.d/named restart and check your system logs for a line saying something like: starting BIND 9.X.Y-P1 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -t /var/named -u bind where the 'P1' bit shows you're running the patched version. There may well be a security notice and a patch for the base system generated in the next few days: the security team is looking into the matter and will respond in due course. D-day for having everything properly patched is the presentation Dan Kaminsky is doing at the Blackhats conference on August 6th (or possibly August 7th) The patches ISC have produced will have an adverse effect if you're answering something in excess of 10,000 DNS queries a second, which is rather more than most people would get to deal with, but are otherwise innocuous. http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/bind-security.php To test if a recursive nameserver is potentially vulnerable, grab the perl script from this site: http://michael.toren.net/code/noclicky/ Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Which VIA CPUs have hardware RNG support?

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. If you have a need for a lot of entropy, you can also use the kernel RC4 generator via sysctl kern.arandom. A couple of other hardware sources are implemented as yarrow entropy sources rather than using the hardware generator directly. I think the support for AMD Geode LX, will be of this form. I suspect that this is more secure than the nehemiah support since it doesn't actually rely on on the hardware alone. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install failure for 7.0-RELEASE (Need help!)
This is drivin' me nuts. I hope somebody can pass me a clue. I have an older system that I've been running 6.1-RELEASE on for a long long time now. I want to upgrade it to run 7.0-RELEASE. (CPU = AMD Athlon XP 2000, Motherboard = ASUS A7N266-VM/AA.) OK, so I install a new hard drive (known good /practically new) and I'm ready to do a fresh install of 7.0-RELEASE onto this fresh new blank drive. The problem is that the bleedin' *[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7.0-RELEASE install disk (#1) seems to be trying to do some new and fancy schmancy stuff as regards to reading stuff off the installation CD that prior releases did not do. (I've checked with the exact same hardware, and I can still boot/install from an old 6.1-RELEASE CD with no problems. So the software has changed, obviously, and not in a good way.) Basically, I get down past the so-called Stage 3 boot loader prompt and then I'm actually booting the 7.0 OS from the CD ROM drive and regardless of which CD ROM drive I use... I've already tried several... and regardless of which burned copy of 7.0-RELEASE install disk #1 I try to use (I have tried at least two... one know to be good from a prior install on a different machine) I always get the same results... acd0: CDROM ATAPI CD-ROM MAX 58X/Ver9.05N at ata1-master UDMA33 acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is iso9660/FreeBSD_Install. acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 ... whreupon the install process dies with some other messages that I doubt are of any importance to what is happening here. The real problem seems to clearly be the failure of these big reads off the CD that this new 7.0-RELEASE is trying to do as part of the install process. Can anybody help? I've been Googling around for acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST for half the day already and I'm no wiser about this problem than when I started. What the bleep does this message actually mean? And what the devil is actually causing it? More importantly, how can I get it to go away so that I can just simply complete my install of 7.0-RELEASE onto this system? A little help would be appreciated. Regards, rfg P.S.

How to submit a patch to FreeBSD project?
Hi all Recently I have submitted a patch to the FreeBSD current mailing list, it seems the patch is not applied yet.
