Could some of you please send me an email telling me what OS you utilize on your laptop, and why? I'm not looking for anyone bashing any other OS, just why you use what you do.

Im using freebsd now because the comfort I have from just being able to make things work without having to think oh this works differently when I want to do anything. It has the comforting sameness of my servers and home machine. I can also rip down the latest sources from my cvsup mirror at work easily. Being the same as my servers I can trial stuff first on it before unleashing it on my unsuspecting users. Being always near power I have never thought about the power business so I cant say about it, likewise the modem. I never use it. With regards to the multimedia, what exactly doesnt work?

I am confused what I should install. Mutt,pine,fetchmail... All I need is Microsoft outlook functionality. I am more than happy to use curses/CLI based mail clients. mutt or pine are CLI e-mail programs (I prefer mutt as you can see from the headers of this message, but pine is possibly a bit friendlier to the beginner): both of those have the capability to read mail out of a POP mailbox. However, they expect to have a local sendmail (or qmail or exim or postfix or other MTA) instance that they can inject e-mail into for sending messages. Which MTA you use is pretty much a religious thing, but the quickest one to get working will be sendmail (as it's installed as part of the system by default) and all you need do is: # cd /etc/mail # make # vi `hostname`.mc -- find the section of the file that says this: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') and edit it to take away the 'dnl' commenting and insert the name of the SMTP server your ISP supplies: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.example.com') Nb. don't get confused by the quote marks: the left hand quote mark _`_ is different to the right hand one _'_. Just a feature of the way the m4(1) macro processor works. Then process that into a sendmail configuration file, install it and restart sendmail: # make # make install # make restart fetchmail(1) isn't a MUA as such -- it's a mail transport that can pull messages out of a POP or IMAP server and re-inject them into sendmail. Or it can hand the messages off directly to a program like procmail(1) for immediate local delivery. I'd not worry about fetchmail(1) until you've got your MUA setup first, and then only if you have a lot of POP mail accounts all over the place. If you want something a lot more like Outlook, then there are several full featured graphical MUAs. There's the Mail/News client which is part of Mozilla, or the more recent Thunderbird. There's Ximian Evolution (probably the closest thing to OE in the ports) and kmail comes as part of KDE. All of those should be able to speak SMTP directly to your ISP's server, so no need to bother with a local MTA on that score.

getnameinfo(3) called from sshd finds error in /etc/hosts?
The problem: when trying to login to an sshd server from 172.27.0.83 it
takes more than a minute for the password prompt to appear.
setup on the server machine:
OS: 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.10.253
(does not know anything about 172.27.0.83)
/etc/hosts:
kutelo2 172.27.0.83
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files dns
when started `sshd -ddd' sshd stops at the first:
debug3: Trying to reverse map address 172.27.0.83.
for about a minute. There is a second identical message a few lines after
that, but it causes no problems.
As I see the function sleeping that long is getnameinfo(3) called from
libssh from canohost.c
So I extracted the code into a separate file tmp.c:
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct sockaddr_in from;
socklen_t fromlen;
charname[NI_MAXHOST];
int errcode;
fromlen = sizeof(from);
memset(from, 0, sizeof(from));
from.sin_len = sizeof(from);
from.sin_family = AF_INET;
from.sin_port = htons(2379);
inet_aton(172.27.0.83, from.sin_addr);
if ((errcode = getnameinfo((struct sockaddr *)from, fromlen, name,
sizeof(name), NULL, 0, NI_NAMEREQD)) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, getnameinfo(): %d\n, errcode);
} else {
name[sizeof(name) - 1] = '\0';
printf(resolved OK: %s\n, name);
}
return 0;
}
which gives:
resolved OK: kutelo2
This is a mystery as the code in canohost.c is exactly the same, but returns
error code EAI_NONAME after more than a minute sending requests to the
nameserver. What work it has to do with the nameserver as 172.27.0.83 is in
/etc/hosts?
Than I changed nsswitch.conf to:
hosts: files [unavail=return] dns
In that case tmp.c's behavior does not change (resolved OK: kutelo2),
but sshd's first call of getnameinfo(3) fails immediately with EAI_NONAME.
It seems that according to this situation kutelo2 entry in /etc/hosts is
corrupted, but tmp.c does not think so, even when started as the sshd user.
Any ideas of what is happening?

I was wondering if the pcmcia SCSI card provided with the HP M802e
portable CD burner is supported in cardbus mode under 5.2. The card
used to work flawlessly under 4.9 in 16bit mode (it's got a dip switch
to change between the two modes) with this default pccard.conf entry:
# Hewlett Packard M820e (CD-writer)
card /KME */ SCSI-CARD-001
config auto nsp ?
On 5.2 I tried this entry in devd.conf:
nomatch 12 {
match bus cardbus[0-9]+;
match vendor 0x1145;
match device 0xf007;
action kldload nsp;
};
On insertion, the card is recognised and the nsp driver loaded but it
somehow fails to attach to the card:

Recommended USB 2.0 controller fr. 5.2+
Hello, I am planning on buying a PCI USB 2.0 controller for a machine running FreeBSD. The only experience I have so far is with my laptop which has some Intel controller that there are problems with, leading to controller shutdown when plugging in a USB 2.0 mass storage device. I read somewhere that there was a problem with that particular controller but I don't remember why. So - if I want a USB 2 controller that works fine with FreeBSD, which one shojuld I get / which chipset should it be using?

Welcome! I have always been a top poster and a bottom feeder, I have never known it was a big deal and every environment I have been in has top posted. Each community can certainly state it's own preferences, and it is polite to follow those preferences. It does tend to get hairy when you are part of many different communities, each with it's own style that you have to remember, lest you get chastised. I think the FreeBSD community is quite patient and understanding with new users, especially on this particular list (questions). On some of the other lists with more developer interaction, the atmosphere can become somewhat heated... it is sometimes fun to watch! I have been weary of posting as I dont want to irritate anyone by asking something that is most likely simple to many of you. I RTFM but just dont get it sometimes so I lurk here and see if there is anything that pertains to me or I go on the web and find it that way. So far it has worked. That is wonderful! It is truly amazing how much information can be found by searching the archives, googling, reading the FAQ, and just reading the daily emails. As I eluded to before, the 'questions' list is the most user-friendly of the lists that I subscribe to. Even so, once you have lurked here for a couple of years, you will see the same questions raised over and over again. Some get ignored, some get a FAQ pointer email, and some get a warm RTFM. Something struck a chord with me so I need clarification. On Sunday 21 March 2004 08:54 PM, Michael W. Oliver wrote: What I find comical about this topic (and it never ceases to recur every few months) is that the clueless who post, asking for clue, refuse to accept pointers on something so simple as email etiquette from the same people they assume will provide clue on so many other more complex issues! This seems arrogant to me, though it could be just that it is e-mail and I cant see the person typing on the other end. Also, if I am asking a question about something I am having a hard time with then I would like an answer to it, not pointers on something so simple as email etiquette from the same person that is providing me a clue on my complex issue. If I wanted to be instructed on e-mail etiquette I would have asked. I can see your point, but try to look at it from a less critical point of view. When you are provided with more information than you asked for, such as email etiquette in this case, then count yourself as fortunate that someone has taken the time to help you format email that is sent to this list in such a way that it will garner the most positive, helpful responses. Dont take that last comment out of line, I am sure with all of the same answers you give over and over again that trying to get things in an even format would be nice. But it is part of the reason I am uneasy about asking a question, not only do I feel ignorant because I am asking what is most likely an easy question but I might irk someone if I dont format it in the form of a question. Like I said, the 'questions' list is the most user-friendly of the lists that I am on. You should not feel uneasy about posting to this list, as long as you have done a certain amount of searching in the archives, Google, etc. beforehand. There are few things that get the 'questions' community riled up as much as people who refuse to search for information on their own, but would rather be spoon-fed. As stated earlier, you don't fall into this category. Secondly; In the end, why not just write like you speak? In a verbal conversation, each party speaks in turn (in-line replies), provided they have something worthwhile to say on the given subject (trimming what isn't relevant), otherwise they keep their pie-hole shut (don't reply at all). When I speak I dont give them back the same thing they just said to me and then my reply, I just reply to them. This means that in an e-mail I would click reply, delete everything on the page, type my response and send it. At least it isn't a top post though, maybe we should just only post. Ok, I see what you are trying to say, but think of it this way: When you reply in-line, keeping the context of the previous email, you aren't speaking the same text back to the original party, you are quoting what they said so that your email can be taken in context with the overall conversation, or at least the part of the conversation that you are participating in (trimming). Sorry for the book. By the way, I have gleaned something from all of you that have posted. Michael, I hope you don't feel like I am picking on you or calling you out.

Retaining relevant material and interspersing responses comes as close to a conversational, question and answer interchange as possible, given the medium of exchange. It also helps bring people in to the conversation who either are participating in numerous conversations and need to be reminded of which one it is or are new, but valuable, to the conversation. Anyway, what we have here are people coming to the list with questions and problems and being informed by those with some experience on those lists that it is easier to give help if add information if the responses are interspersed.If you want to make is easy for those more experienced people to get in to the conversation, you will do so.

Then, Start my reply above the quote, Start my reply below the quote, or Select the quote and place my signature below my reply (above the quote), or below the quote (recommended) If you select the first option in each category, then you could say that Thunderbird supports top posting by formatting new reply messages as: --- cursor is positioned here When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients. For more information, see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Note: I discard all HTML mail unseen.

Kirk Strauser wrote: I think the main difference between top- and interleaved-posting is one of latency. In an office environment, when you're replying within 2 minutes of receipt of a typically short message, top posting is reasonable. In other words, your new reply message is automatically layed out as a top posting message, and your cursor is positioned at the top of the editor and waiting for you to start inserting text at the beginning. You correctly state that posting style is not a function of the MUA, but in some cases the MUA can make it easier or more likely for the user to post in a certain manner. Well, I'll concede that it could barely be acceptable under such conditions. Let me give another example. Outlook 2003 can be configured so that when the user receives a new email, it opens a short-lived popup window in the bottom-right corner of the screen with the sender, subject, and first few lines of the messages. In my office, where many emails have message bodies no larger than What's Bob's phone number?, there's a good chance that the little preview popup will show the entire message being sent. If the sender is replying to a message you sent, and they top posted their one-line reply, then you can read their reply without ever switching from the program you're currently using to Outlook. Of course, I'm using Kmail and/or Gnus on a Linux desktop, so I'm the exception to that usage rule and haven't been lured into top posting. We also just rolled out a Jabber server that should replace most or all of those one-line emails with instant messages. Still, I think the pattern I mentioned above is probably extremely common in Microsoft-oriented internal office networks. On Usenet and mailing lists, where you see large, complex questions that get discussed over the span of days and weeks, interleaved posting is the only format that remotely makes sense. Sure. Now how do you know in advance to which category each message belongs? Where do you draw the line? And what's the advantage of top posting? If I'm typing in Gnus, then I'm reading newsgroups or mailing lists and reply the correct way. If I'm in Kmail, then I'm reading office email and top post. That's how *I* remember which method to use. See above for *an* advantage of top posting, that I grudgingly admit exists but only go along with out of consideration to my co-workers. -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Dell 2650 config for FreeBSD 4.9
We are in the position to have to replace an intel ISP1100 which has been running as our primary server for some time. As a potential replacement we are looking at a Dell 2650 dual processor raid5 server, specs below. Up until now, the ISP1100 with a P3 800 and 1GB of PC100 RAM has been handling the load like a fine workhorse, but anything purhcased now is well beyond those specs. Does anyone have any first hand experiences, caveats, warnings, or commendations for this server if it is to use FreeBSD 4.9 as a dns/radius/website with extensive PostgreSQL database usage. We had a 2650 for a while and I was using it for development with FreeBSD. It worked fine - until another group here stole it for their stuff so we had to come up with a different machine a 1550 and a 4650, both of which also run FreeBSD fine. The 4650 has a raid controller, but we haven't made much use of it for raid stuff yet. You might want to get larger disks. The 18GBs are already small in this world. I think they have 36GB that do 15k RPM, though I think that on the list I looked at last week at DELL the 72 GB disk only did 10K RPM. jerry PowerEdge 2650 Processor 2x Intel Xeon 2.4GHz Memory 1.0GB DDR, 2X512 DIMMS Hard Drive Backplane 5 Bay (1x5) Hot Plug SCSI Hard Drive Backplane Hard Drive Configuration On-Board RAID 5 1st Hard Drive 18GB 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI 2nd Hard Drive 18GB 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI 3rd Hard Drive 18GB 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI 4th Hard Drive 18GB 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI 5th Hard Drive 18GB 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI Primary Controller PERC3-DI, 128MB Battery Backed Cache, 2 Internal Ch- Embedded RAID Floppy Drive 1.44MB Diskette Drive First Network Adapter Intel Pro 100S NIC w/ or w/o IP SEC Encryption Optical Device 24X IDE Internal CD ROM Power Supplies Redundant Power Supply, without Y-cord Rack Rails VersaRails for Non-Dell 4-Post Rack Apprecite comments; Dave ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not just in various people's mail clients (I frequently search the ~13,000 messages in my archive when I encounter what might be a common issue) but on multiple websites around the globe. Indeed, the FreeBSD website itself holds searchable archives of all the lists, which I am sure it probably recommends somewhere that you scan before asking. So, when you have a problem, and you search the web for FreeBSD + your particular error message, you are very likely to come across a mailing list message. (I know I do anyway.) This could very have been written yesterday, or six years ago, and you have likely have no idea of context. Having the entire subject available in that first message you find - original problem, suggested solution, results of that solution, follow-ups, etc - means you have there an instant resource that is very valuable. Having to trawl through a poorly threaded web-based archive to try and find out if it was the same problem you had when your search only gets to to the solution, (when the posters trim too much) or through masses of intermediate junk (when a topic gets big like this, and it's ALL quoted) is pretty hard work. Certainly, interleaved or (at worst) bottom posted text makes life a great deal easier when coming across a post in isolation like this.

You need to read /usr/ports/UPDATING to see how to upgrade portupgrade so that it is using ruby-1.8. I only use ruby with portupgrade so it was simple to do a recursive pkg_delete of ruby and reinstall portupgrade. That upgraded ruby to 1.8 and everything was happy. You jumped into the middle of some massive updates. For example, everything that uses expat has to be updated to using the new version. The new portupgrade and pkgdb -F is your friend.

Re: Top posting
When you are posting to a list, there is a time lag and a distance that needs to be overcome. ... I'm more of a lurker on the questions list, although I chime in when I see something I can help with. I've been reading this through and I don't think anybody has pointed out one important topic so far, although touched upon by your point abut the time lag. It is that these messages get archived! ... So, when you have a problem, and you search the web for FreeBSD + your particular error message, you are very likely to come across a mailing list message. (I know I do anyway.) This could very have been written yesterday, or six years ago, and you have likely have no idea of context. Having the entire subject available in that first message you find - original problem, suggested solution, results of that solution, follow-ups, etc - means you have there an instant resource that is very valuable. Having to trawl through a poorly threaded web-based archive to try and find out if it was the same problem you had when your search only gets to to the solution, (when the posters trim too much) or through masses of intermediate junk (when a topic gets big like this, and it's ALL quoted) is pretty hard work. Certainly, interleaved or (at worst) bottom posted text makes life a great deal easier when coming across a post in isolation like this. You can read through and you get the questions and answers, in context, in time-line order.

As a potential replacement we are looking at a Dell 2650 dual processor raid5 server, specs below. Up until now, the ISP1100 with a P3 800 and 1GB of PC100 RAM has been handling the load like a fine workhorse, but anything purhcased now is well beyond those specs. Does anyone have any first hand experiences, caveats, warnings, or commendations for this server if it is to use FreeBSD 4.9 as a dns/radius/website with extensive PostgreSQL database usage. Well, back when I was in traineeship for school, we had an PE2650 running FreeBSD 5.1. It was a tad unstable, since we had frequent kernel panics. However, one day my mentor re-compiled the kernel with newer sources, and it was rock solid. Probably some problems with the RAID controller, he said. I don't have any experiences with 4.X though, but I think it will be working just fine. It's a production release after all. So if you run into any problems, it might be the RAID controller.

Substitue the name of the user that your web server runs under for apache in the command below: $ chown root:apache chpasswd $ chmod 4750 chpasswd /endquote but when i run ls -l it says -rwsr-x--- 1 root apache 9873 Oct 22 2002 chpasswd without the asterisk. Is that the same or am I missing something? What do you get with: % file /usr/local/www/data/webmail/plugins/change_passwd/chpasswd does it say something about Linux? If 'yes', then try: % kldload linux % sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand=3 sorry, before i read your message i compiled the chpass.c file and overwrote the original. maybe you were right. i did a #file chpasswd and it went: chpasswd: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped The error is gone although now i have another problem.

Also, if you have something like a Knoppix boot CD available, try it and run the same things you do and see if the same happens.

[...] Wow. Excellent report. However, you seem to have done everything correctly, so far. You need to enable 'portmap' on all your machines. Add: portmap_enable=YES If you don't want to reboot all those machines, you can just start portmap from the command line: # /usr/sbin/portmap Note that portmap enabled machines need extra care if they're exposed to the internet: you should set up firewalls to prevent external access to port 111 and the high-numbered ports that RPC based services use. You can also use tcp_wrappers to good effect to protect portmap: see the examples in /etc/hosts.allow, but be aware that portmap is a special case which you have to configure access by IP number rather than hostname. Once that has been enabled, you should be able to run: % rpcinfo to see what RPC services are available on your hosts, % ypwhich to show which NIS server that host has bound to, and: % ypcat passwd to download one of your NIS maps and prove that it's accessible from that host. After all that, the NIS userids should be accessible from your client machines, given that you've put the correct magic token in the /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group files. One thing that can help if the clients are refusing to bind properly to the server is to put: nis_client_flags=-S compulinux.org,freebsd1.compulinux.org,freebsd2.compulinux.org See ypbind(8) for more details. For setting up NIS users, use pw(8) rather than adduser(8). pw(8) has a '-V' flags which you can use to make it modify your master.passwd and group files in /var/yp rather than /etc. Unfortunately, and for reasons I don't really understand, this will also cause pw(8) to silently fail to create home directories. However, once the account has been created in NIS, you should be able to use: # pw usermod -n username -m to create the home directory for 'username'.

Re: Dell Servers
To whom it may concern. We need to install FreeBSD 4.9 on Dell server , and we need to find out on which Dell server it supports. Currently we have Dell Power Edge 1600C server it's a small business level server and on that same small business server we need to install FreeBSD but we don't know on which SmallBusiness server supports FreeBSD 4.9 os. We have quite a variety of Dell machines and I haven't found one that did not support FreeBSD. Probably 4.9 is the best place to start too. If your present 1600 is free at the moment, just try installing FreeBSD on it and see. Your main ifs are two. If the modem is a winmodem which is useless get something else.There may be some confusion if it has IDE disk and CD controllers. You have to get them arranged right - primary, secondary, master, slave - for things to be recognized. If you have SCSI disk, hurray because it will all work just hunky dory. Note: Turn off Plug-n-Play at the BIOS level. If that machine is available to completely dedicate it to FreeBSD, well, then go ahead and try it with no qualms. It won't wreck it to experiment. Dells tend (though not always) to have pretty mainstream stuff that is generally supported. If it has plenty of disk, and it already has some MS junk on it that you need to keep, make it a dual boot machine. You will need a utility to squeeze the MS slice down so you can put in a FreeBSD slice. I have had good success with Partition Magic which is about $69 in places like Best Buy and Circuit City. There are some freebie ones, but none that I know of can handle NTFS type file systems from MS so I just went and spent the money. You will need to make the floppies it tells you about in the PM manual and just use those and don't bother installing it on the machine from the CD. (unless you have to to make the flppies - I can't remember that tidbit) Enough disk would be greater than 20GB or more depending on how much you are already using. Give MS lots of room to expand 2 or 3 times what you are already using and then at least 10GB for FreeBSD. If you have more, that is better - after all, you want your DB and records software to have lots of room. Read and try to understand the handbook first. It wouldn't hurt to also have another plain language book on FreeBSD management on hand as well. Something like The Complete FreeBSD (someone walked off with mine, Grrr) or FreeBSD Unleashed.Onlamp has a couple of good tutorials on such things as configuring XFree86 client and server and there are other good sources on the net too. jerry Kind Regards, George Simonishvili ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Portupgrade mod_php4 problems.
Hello All, I am having hard time in installing php4 using portupgrade. First i have updated the port directory using cvsup. I am doing fresh installation of php so i gave the following command. portupgrade -NPRri mod_php4. I noticed mysql3.23.51 got updated to mysql3.23.58_2. All the other dependencies also had no problem in updating. However the php installation was not successful. At the end of installation i got the following errors. Command failed [exit code 1] /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade23698.1 make mysql-client-3.23.58 is already installed or may be older version blah blah blah... you can uninstall and reinstall mysql blah blah blah ...to install correctly. If you really want to override without deleting use FORCE_PICG_REGISTER blah blah I also tried to install php after doing make clean in /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-client but it did not help me. Any pointer would be very helpful. Thanks in advace. Thanks, Naveen. Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.

Error Loading kde3.2.1
Hello all,
I am getting the below error when trying to load the qt33 dependency as
part of kde3.2.1. Any ideas why this is happening?
I have cvsuped twice today, at one time deleting all ports folders
starting with x so that it would copy new files down.
Thanks in advance,

RE: FreeBSD 4.9 freezes
After doing a little more research, I found out that it is the GDT8546RZ SATA raid card causing the freezing within FreeBSD. I took out the raid card and used the onboard SATA controller and installed FreeBSD 4.9 on one hard drive. It has been running smoothly since I removed the card. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue? Thank you, Jesse A.
