ANNOUNCE: 64 bit 8.0-RELEASE-p1 Custom XFCE build available
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, I have just completed the long awaited, first 64bit build of the 'Custom releases' project hosted here: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com You may download the ISO file immediately using the downloads page: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/downloads-page This release is based on the latest XFCE desktop and includes a wide variety of desktop-related packages, like OpenOffice, abiword, gnumeric, firefox35, gimp, inkscape, evince and so on. The base system is 8.0-RELEASE-p1 which includes the latest security fixes. Make sure to read the README file: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/amd64/README.TXT as it contains important information on installation and esp. a few steps that are required for a successful install. In particular note: * The 'doc' set (FreeBSD documentation) is not included in this release due to problems in the related package builds. We will include them in next releases when the problem is resolved. * The 'libchek-0.9.8' will have to be selected manually in the package selection dialog. This seems to be a problem with the INDEX file. * Installing linux related packages during initial setup needs a few more steps. This is due to differences in sysinstall between 7.X and 8.0 releases. A detailed explanation is provided in the README file. As always, please report any problems, success stories, comments and criticisms to mano...@freebsd.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAks1yCYACgkQZ/MxGm4PtJT1VACdGI9nn/MFWmvanW6L5gfqIe6W sS4AnRpLq2W+49upLFWyIKEV1pgU5Dj9 =vap7 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: location of discussion of lives
leeoliveshackelf...@surewest.net wrote: Good morning, dear FreeBSD enthusiast. Can you help me to negotiate the FreeBSD website? I am trying to find a general discussion about livefs. I have not been successful at entering the correct sequence of search terms to find a general discussion about this topic. I would like to know what this feature does, and the situation in which a user would wish to install it. My question would refer to either release 7 or release 8. Thanks for any and all enlightenment. Yours truly, Lee S. 'livefs' is not something I recognize that you can install like that. In fact, it's not something I heard of in exactly those terms. About the closest thing is 'live filesystem' -- which is usually used in the context of the .iso CD/DVD images used for installation. In this sense, the installation media contain a ready-to-run copy of FreeBSD, and it's 'live' in the sense that you can just boot up from one of the CDs and drop into a fully function copy of the OS running from the CD. ie. it's an ordinary filesystem, but presented so that it can be used live. To do this, boot from FreeBSD installation media, and select 'Fixit' mode from the main menu, then (I think) 'Live Filesystem' from the next screen. Note that although this is a fully functional FreeBSD system, it's *just* FreeBSD -- no add-on software. Which means: no X windows, no graphical applications. You will need to be capable with a Unix CLI to use it. If you want a Live-CD with all the glitz and windowing stuff, then search for Freesbie -- the projects main page should be at http://www.freesbie.org/ but it seems to have been down for some months. You can still get the disk images though. eg: http://ftp.uk.freesbie.org/sites/ftp.freesbie.org/pub/FreeSBIE/ 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

As it's an X windows thing, it should be available on any OS where you can run an X server, so any Linux or FreeBSD. Of course, you will need some sort of speaker in the machine to generate the noises, but that can be very rudimentary. If your machine can emit a beep, then it can probably do key click too.

That's why I think the XO is a win++ It can help, if properly used. Wrong use can lead into the opposite. I can only tell you from Germany where school and education are epically failing since 1990, even though they employ modern means of education... a joke from an educational (scientifical) point of view. Are there regional differences, still? East/west? whatever? Of course. First off all, basic education in the eastern part (GDR) is still a bit better due to better teachers who are still on duty. In the western part (FRG), education is worse, basically. Then, there are differences between the federal countries. There's no common educational concept. Schools are organized differently (different layers, different names, different degrees), horizontally and vertically. Degrees are not comparable inside Germany, so for example when you leave Gymnasium (high school) in Hamburg, you can join a university in Hamburg, but you cannot join a university in Munich because it doesn't recognize your degree from Hamburg. There are no common teaching plans. If you move from Leipzig to Hannover, you're doomed. The GDR didn't have those problems. Teaching plans were the same in every school. Same plans, same books, same speed. Results were comparable. Sweden has adopted the unified GDR educational system, with success. In the FRG, education selects the future of the children by the income of their parents. If you have rich parents, you can affort to go to Gymnasium (high school, 13 years) and go to university later on. If your parents are poor, e. g. unemployed, you have to go to Hauptschule (main school, 8 years), and maybe Realschule (real school, 10 years), but you cannot go to university with such a degree. You will even have major problems finding a professional education in order to get a job. The levels of how good schools are considered in society have lowered through the years. In approx. 1995, Gymnasium was over-qualified, Realschule was ideal for a very good job and Hauptschule was good for a normal job. 10 years later, in approx. 2005, everything was shifted , with Hauptschule now just for a helper job, e. g. carrying sand bags on a building site. Today, this is what Real- schule was, again shifted , and Hauptschule is the direct way to unemployment after school. And how does GErmany stack up compared to the rest of the EU? Quite bad. The reason is simple: Basal knowledge isn't taught in schools anymore. After 8 or 10 years, there are still massive deficites in reading and basic calculating. Other copuntries in the EU are already recognizing the development and are investigating about how to improve the educational system. The FRG, of course, can't do that. Today's educational system is the same as of Kaiser's and Hitler's time. So it CANNOT BE CHANGED. Period. A good comparison is Japan or China. The first stages of education are quite frontal. Basic things are repeated until you can rely on them. Later on, there's no repeatition anymore. And why? Because it isn't needed. Pupils and teachers can rely on their presence. The GDR had the concept of the Kindergarten, which prepared children for school, equipping them with basic knowledge and some handcrafting skills. And the States. I always considered the States to have not a very good educational system (this is due to how Americans are precepted here, especially on TV), but it has one advantage which I consider very modern: It gives you the right NOT to send your kids to a public school (where they have to wear weapons and are slapped into the face by classmates if they don't hand over their money or mobile phone),

Instead of a beep and a flash I get:
beep: 0./beepflash
flash: 0

That sounds about right, given the code shown above.
If you'd used just
beep();
refresh();
instead of the printf/fflush, it would clear the screen and beep - if the
terminal description says it can do the beep.
In the ncurses sources, progs/clear.c is a simple program which sets
up the terminal and calls the tputs function - something like what you're
trying to do.

I have never seen this message since I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in this new version. The version 4.6.2 does not show you this message durring starting application. I wanted to set my locale, but I found out that command setlocale is missing on FreeBSD 7.2. Files in directory /etc: login.conf, login.conf.db, csh.login and profile are set as HANDBOOK recommends for language localization. My shells are bash, tcsh or zsh, csh for root user. The results are the same. bash: [u...@server ~]$ LC_ALL=ISO-8859-2; export LC_ALL -bash: varovánÃ: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ISO-8859-2): No such file or directory zsh: server% setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2 zsh: command not found: setlocale tcsh: setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2 setlocale: Command not found. root csh: server# setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2 setlocale: Command not found. So my simple question is why is setlocale command missing in FreeBSD 7.2 ? And if user could not use locale and setlocale commands like on Linux, how can I solve my problem with new version of MC ? The mc message: Confirmation Chosen display charset (Settings-Display bits) or source codeset (in mcedit ctrl-t) does not match one set via locale. Set correct codeset manually or press Fix it to set locale default. Or set 'don' task again' and press Skip [ ] don't ask again [ Fix it ] [ Skip ] BTW in mc there is not any settings with display bits, there is only options menu with display bits.

Ssh: Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input
Hi, I am seeing a problem using ssh with a long-running job. After some time, it shuts down, reporting Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input. Sometimes it reports a checksum error instead. Sometimes it runs to completion (which takes about two hours). This is between two 7.2 machines; it also occurs between one 7.2 machine and a 5.4 machine (which I will convert as soon as I have all my stuff running properly on 7.2). I'm using ssh here because I need to pipe a large data stream from machine to machine. When it works--and it will sometimes work for days on end--it's great.

In fact, my firewalls/gateways only have /bin/sh and /bin/csh as scripting languages. It's one reason I switched from custom sysutils/grok rules to using security/sshguard - it got me rid of perl. That makes sense -- I'm using it on a general purpose server as opposed to a dedicated firewall box. Secondly, you have matching rules coded in the script. If there would be one reason to prefer this script over sshguard, it would be that I can add attack patterns more easily, in config file with a syntax that's not too obscure. Interesting thought, I will definitely make the matching rules configurable and potentially make possible to monitor multiple logfiles for attack patterns (potentially configurable per-logfile). Last but not least, you assume that once an IP is at fault, I want that IP blocked permanently. In practice you end up with an extremely large table that might eventually be too big for a default PF table and recurring scans from the same IP are not that common (you see the IP in a 12-24 hour window, then not again). You've misread the script. IPs are expired after a configurable number of seconds. Hope this helps.

On early 386 PCs where there was a real powerful speaker inside the box, I created a headphone out by removing the speaker and replacing it by a 3.5mm jack, so I could attach earphones.

Imagine the fun of connecting a PA. :-) This older computer was high end in 2003 but I don't remember seeing a real speaker, so if it's some IC that's producing the 'beep', I'm outta luck. In modern PCs, the speaker is often replaced by a kind of micro-speaker, a black cylindrical object with 0.5mm radius and a small hole in its top. It's a kind of piezo-speaker, sufficient for a friendly little Beep! at boot time. The development of recent PCs, as well as of notebooks and netbooks, makes me think that there won't be a speaker (a physical one) in the future anymore. On some systems, e. g. a Siemens-Fujitsu notebook I own, the speaker's functionality is given by the sound card and through its speakers, but the control for the speaker is still the traditional way. Maybe this way - simply sending 0x07 / BEL, or something like /dev/speaker implements - won't be possible in the future...

That we'd all be nerve-deaf by age 55.-- Teh computer does beep as an error sound. How adjustable it is other than just beeping, dunno. The kind of beep that is emitted (e. g. via BEL) doesn't seem to be adjustable. I had different systems, one of them just gave a clicking sound, where the other one made a long tone, and a third one made a normal tone. It seems to be determined by hardware. Should be a way to send the beep to my desktop speakers, then, right? I've got volume and power, treble/bass. If the PC speaker output is realized through the sound card (and its speakers), it will leave the computer through those speakers, or through the headphone jack. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

chroot SSH users.
Hello people, Im on FreeBSD 7.2-R P5 Its easy to chroot ftp users - adding users to /etc/ftpchroot -makes the job easy. How about if I want to chroot the SSH users (not ftp) any easy way? no need for jail installation or anything like this.. I saw sshd_config file and it has a chrootdirectory but not sure how to use it.. Anyone? any tips? any easy way?

The ISP is blocking all the emails unless it goes through their mail server, so I need my FreeBSD box to connect to the ISP's SMTP server for outbound emails. The client also needs to be authenticated as well. Fix your word wrap. Have you checked the Handbook? If not, start with Section 28.10 SMTP Authentication. Read that and follow the link to http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html where you'll find the rest of what you need to know. You're using sendmail as a client, so be sure to focus on the section entitled Using sendmail as a client with AUTH. Fairly straightforward stuff, but there may be a lot to take in at first glance.

Some laptops use the sound'card' for speaker, and provide a mixer level. Should be a way to send the beep to my desktop speakers, then, right? I've got volume and power, treble/bass. The short answer [Guess] is no, I dont think so. If getting the keys to have an auditory feedback with beeps or shorter clicks were that easy, it would have been done after 15 years. Even Linux lacks this--and I'd bet Minux too. What I've got to do is pick up where I kwit ten years ago with the kernel driver code and drop the the code to make the speaker-audio create tiny, brief clicks, preferably low, thunky sounds like ye ancient IBM Selectrics. You can do quite a lot with various tempos, intervals and frequencies; see speaker(4) and play around. Making a short click or thunk! should be easy enough, but spkrtest and echoing playstrings /dev/speaker are userland processes; I've no idea how much 'fun' it would be to invoke /dev/speaker ioctls from the kbd drivers.

Re: clicky driver
Anybody know how I can redirect the beep to my speakers? I miss the confirmation that vi/vim puts out. Outside of X, our kbdcontrol(1) offers pitch and duration (but not volume) control for the console bell via the -b flag. The volume is often dependent upon the hardware and/or the bios, and in some cases cannot be easily changed. Unfortunately, our keyboard-handling code does not seem to allow the remapping of individual keys to strings -- I think that can be done in Linux -- so we can't add a bel to every keypress by defining an alternative keymap via kbdcontrol, without hacking the code (but since ed@ is working on a new console driver, this might be a good time to request features...). However, at a slightly higher level, many shells and editors will allow you to rebind keys. And some will allow you to redefine the action taken when the bell is sounded: for instance, out csh(1) has the nifty beepcmd. You could customize this to play a sound file of your own choice through your sound card, where you presumably have more control over the sound, and then try to use bindkey to issue bels with keypresses. Of course, this will only take effect while you're in that shell or editor, but you could use the idea to hack the syscons(4) driver to redefine sc_bell() if a certain sysctl is set... b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
