Re: FreeBSD 4.9 and TCP

Good Morning,
My name is Brian Wilson and I am currently studying computer science honours
at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa. As part
of our honours course we have to conduct some small scale research projects.
A number of us are in the position of having to use your FreeBSD product. We
are however having some difficulties in finding out whether or not it is
actually the correct product to be using and we have been unable to find the
necessary information in our numerous searches of the Interent.
Well, of course it's the correct product ... for me, anyway ;)
We have to run tests on different versions of TCP, to measure performance
issues and the like.
What I would like to know from you is the following :
1) Which versions of TCP does the FreeBSD 4.9 distribution support and
implement -- we need to use TCP Reno, NewReno, Tahoe, SACK and T/TCP in our
experiments.
2) How exactly do we change the installation of FreeBSD to enable each of
these TCP types -- if you tell us where to look and what we need to change it
would be great
Essentially, what we need your help for is to find out exactly which versions
of TCP FreeBSD 4.9 is capable of using (seding and receiving) as well as how
to implement each of them separately.
If you could tell us what to do or at least where to look to find this
informaiton, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Hi, Brian ...
First, I think I'm supposed to give you an obligatory tweak on
the nose, something to the effect of do you really want us all
to do your homework for you, so you have more time to drink
and chase women? :-D
Secondly, I must admit to being first and foremost a (GOAM)
Geek Of Another Major, and therefore not qualified to answer
very many of your well phrased questions.
However, note the following message, entitled backport of
TCP SACK to -STABLE posted to the freebsd-stable
mailing list about 36 hours ago by Marko Zec and quoted
in near entirety here:
I've prepared a more or less blind backport of the TCP SACK code which was
recently introduced in -CURRENT. Didn't put the patch through lots of
testing, but it just seems to work... The patch is available from the URL
bellow and should apply cleanly against both 4.10-RELEASE and -STABLE.

[[Please note that discussion has ensued about whether or not
this code should be used in this way (ie, merged into the -STABLE
tree, which for a little while is still the 4.x branch. But maybe
you could test it for him, eh?]]
I'm not much of a programmer, but a quick perusal of this diff
clued me in on at least some of your questions in regard to 4._10_
vs 5-{{NEARLYSTABLE}}*. I'll leave the rest of the exercise up to you;
as you are studying 4.9**, it may be a simple exercise in exclusion
And, of course, there really are some good hackers reading these

crontab question involving cvsup
OK, I have searched the archives, and I can't find that my question has been answered previously, but please forgive me if that's incorrect. I'm using (or rather trying to use) cron to update my ports tree daily. I've tried several different combinations without success, and lately this is what I have in my crontab file: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /home/krinklyfig/supfiles/ports-supfile /usr/local/bin/portindex /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u It runs as root once a day. What appears to be happening is that the cvsup is happening, but portindex is not, and because of the latter portsdb -u doesn't either. The reason I know cvsup is working is because portindex indicates that the ports tree has been updated if I run it manually later, but running portversion before manually running portindex will not indicate any changes. The cron log doesn't show anything but the commands being executed. So, my question is: is this type of command valid, or should each command be separate?

Re: crontab question involving cvsup
First of all, you need to read the manual page for cvsup. It is clearly stated that the option -L shows the amount of verbosity cvsup maintains. If you are running it from inside a script, then either you have to reduce the verbosity to 1 ie, the command will be cvsup -g -L 1 supfile OR redirect the output to some file (if you want to look into it later) or to /dev/null to discard it. Secondly, You can always set up multiple crontabs. But since you are using (ie doo only if prev was successful), that would works if the output of cvsup is properly dealt with. Regards S.

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system
Hello, I am trying to run both FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system and had no success yet. The system is a rather old PIII-400 with one 4 GB IDE hard disk (recognized by the BIOS) as master and one 40 GB IDE hard (where I have to disable the BIOS recognition) as slave hard disk. So far I managed to run Windows XP on that box, when I put a little start partition on the master drive and the XP installation on the slave drive. Windows XP was able to work with the 40 GB disk, while the BIOS hangs while autodetecting it. Then I tried to install FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE in another partition of the 40 GB disk. Sysinstall complained about the geometry of the 40 GB disk, saying that the values it read were impossible and it would continue with something more appropriate. Except for that bit the installation went as usual. However booting the system was not successful. The boot manager installed by sysinstall was neither able to boot Windows XP nor the FreeBSD installation. Is it possible that the standard FreeBSD boot manager doesn't work with Windows XP? Yesterday I tried to just install FreeBSD on that system, and maybe after that doing a new installation of Windows XP. But even this didn't work. So I now think that FreeBSD has big trouble with my disks. Perhaps the on board controller of the PIII-400 board is too old for 40 GB IDE drives? It is a bit frustrating that I managed to get both Windows XP and some older SuSE linux running on that system and not old faithful FreeBSD. :( I also bought the complete FreeBSD recently, it has really progressed from my old Walnut creek edition, but it doesn't cover systems running both FreeBSD and any Windows = Windows 2000. Any idea what is going on? Help would be very welcome!

Re: Error When Attempting to Use portmanager

OK, I am not that knowledgable about compiling programs, etc. Exactly how
do I recompile with (-g flag on cc). Does this cause it to get a

To compile a program from ports with '-g' you should be able to use
the CFLAGS make variable from /etc/make.conf (ideally, you should be
able to override it from the environment or the command line and avoid
having to fiddle with that file at all, but YMMV). Taking portmanager as the
example:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager
# make clean
# make CFLAGS='-g -O' all
This will leave you with a copy of the portmanager executable in
${WRKDIRPREFIX}/sysutils/portmanager/work/portmanager-0.2.0/portmanager
(${WRKDIRPREFIX} will be /usr/ports, unless you've deliberately changed it)
% file portmanager
portmanager: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for
FreeBSD 4.9.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
That 'not stripped' part is important: it means that this copy of the
executable contains all of the debug symbols the '-g' puts in.
However, if you go ahead and install the port, all of those symbols
will be stripped out -- debug symbols generally take up a huge amount
of space, and that's a waste unless you are actually debugging things.
All is not lost though: go ahead and install the portmanager port, and
do whatever it was that you did which caused it to dump core. Do
*not* run 'make clean' in the port directory.
You should have a file portmanager.core To obtain a stack trace with
useful information, run:
# gdb
${WRKDIRPREFIX}/sysutils/portmanager/work/portmanager-0.2.0/portmanager/portmanager -c
portmanager.core
(ie. tell gdb to use the unstripped copy of the program, and match it
against the core dump.)
Then when it has loaded all of the symbols etc., type:
where
Cut'n'paste that output into your e-mail report to the developers, but
make sure you keep the corefile and the unstripped version of
portmanager to hand, as you may well be asked to run some other gdb(1)
commands to extract further information.

Re: 4.8 4.10 successful. Now 5.x?
On Wed, Aug 25, 2004 at 04:32:18PM -0700, Curtis Vaughan wrote: Whereas I intend to run this server as a Postfix server w/ Courier IMAP, authentication through PAM/LDAP it would seem that I should stay at 4.10 then. Is this correct or not? Correct. 4.x doesn't support nsswitch.conf, so you can't use LDAP for your local machine accounts (well, not without pain). However, it does support PAM/ldap, and postfix+cyrus has been written to take advantage of that combo, so you can certainly use LDAP to provide virtual user accounts for your e-mail users. Not having your e-mail clients being able to log directly into the server would probably fall on the side of feature rather than bug in most installations. Also, if this server goes into production, then how much of a pain in the ass is it going to be to move to 5.x when it's stable? There should be an officially sanctioned route to upgrade from 4.10-STABLE to 5.3-STABLE once 5.3-STABLE is released. However, all upgrades over a major version bump are painful, and as many people on this list have said, just doing a re-install is probably your best bet. One very good reason for doing that is that 5.x has a new default filesystem type: UFS2 -- of course, it can still use UFS1, the default from 4.x; but there's no way to change a filesystem from UFS1 to UFS2 without a wipe and reinstall. If the continued reliability of this server is important to you (ie. your job or your income depends on it) then I'd be even more cautious about switching from 4.x to 5.x: since 5.2.1 came out there have been some quite significant changes to vital parts of the 5.x kernel, and it's likely to take a bit of time (even accounting for the 5.3 release process) before everything works in the way intended. Monitor the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list for news of any showstopping problems, and if you can, experiment with 5.3-STABLE on a scratch machine before attempting the upgrade. 4.10-RELEASE and the upcoming 4.11-RELEASE will be supported by the FreeBSD project for quite some time (typically 1 year after the release date), so there's no need to be in a great hurry to update everything.

Unless you've got a good reason not to, I'd choose linux-sun-jdk13 out of those. Actually, if I was going to use a Linux JDK, I'd tend to choose java/linux-sun-jdk14 nowadays, as that's the current stable release version of Java. However, on FreeBSD, you are generally better off using a native JDK. With 5.x, that really boils down to installing java/jdk14 from source. It's a monumental pain in the bottom, having to jump through all of the hoops that SDSL forces you to just to download the sources, and then the actual compilation step is a bit monumental as well, but in the end it's all worth it because of the improved stability and speed of native java 1.4.x over other JDKs. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgpvkYsTcXQ3n.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system
Well FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 is running on my box with Windiws XP in dual boot. So the installation definitely works. Now in your case there may be a few posiblities. First of all, have u fixed the master drive at the end of the cable and the slave drive in the middle connector?. FreeBSD has been very fussy about hardware. The other probability you have already guessed. Yes it may be the BIOS. Its a good move to search the manufacturer site for updated BIOS and flash it. However be careful. Thirdly, I would say put the 40G drive as master as olders drives have buggy controller firmware and they *may* create troubles in case of newer slaves. Fourtly, Jumper the drives explicitly to be master and slave. Do not rely on the CS. S.

The system is a rather old PIII-400 with one 4 GB IDE hard disk (recognized by the BIOS) as master and one 40 GB IDE hard (where I have to disable the BIOS recognition) as slave hard disk. So far I managed to run Windows XP on that box, when I put a little start partition on the master drive and the XP installation on the slave drive. Windows XP was able to work with the 40 GB disk, while the BIOS hangs while autodetecting it. Then I tried to install FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE in another partition of the 40 GB disk. Sysinstall complained about the geometry of the 40 GB disk, saying that the values it read were impossible and it would continue with something more appropriate. Except for that bit the installation went as usual. However booting the system was not successful. The boot manager installed by sysinstall was neither able to boot Windows XP nor the FreeBSD installation. Is it possible that the standard FreeBSD boot manager doesn't work with Windows XP? Yesterday I tried to just install FreeBSD on that system, and maybe after that doing a new installation of Windows XP. But even this didn't work. So I now think that FreeBSD has big trouble with my disks. Perhaps the on board controller of the PIII-400 board is too old for 40 GB IDE drives? It is a bit frustrating that I managed to get both Windows XP and some older SuSE linux running on that system and not old faithful FreeBSD. :( I also bought the complete FreeBSD recently, it has really progressed from my old Walnut creek edition, but it doesn't cover systems running both FreeBSD and any Windows = Windows 2000.

I've not used FreeBSD for anything like this before and frankly am not sure what changes from default I should use, if any. Should I stick with 4.10, or is 5.2.1 OK? Any sysctl changes? Default kernel OK? I'd consider quota's (see the Handbook) and adding the firewall (with a default ACCEPT) just in case you later need to block something abused. stick with 4.10 for now.

There is an entry in /etc/hosts for the router. I originally made both router/ and router/zyxel 644 root/wheel but have also tried changing the perms to 777 and changing the group to network. Can anyuone suggest why this is not working? Thanks.

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system
Well FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 is running on my box with Windiws XP in dual boot. So the installation definitely works. Ok, that is already a good hint. What boot manager do you use for that dual boot system? First of all, have u fixed the master drive at the end of the cable and the slave drive in the middle connector?. I need to check that. I did not know about such a preference, and assumed both connectors are equal. probability you have already guessed. Yes it may be the BIOS. Its a good move to search the manufacturer site for updated BIOS and flash it. However be careful. Perhaps I better try to get a newer board.. but then I need newer ram, newer proc.. the usual upgrade madness. :) Thirdly, I would say put the 40G drive as master as olders drives have buggy controller firmware and they *may* create troubles in case of newer slaves. OK, I'll try that. Fourtly, Jumper the drives explicitly to be master and slave. Do not rely on the CS. I hope, I did that. But I check. Thanks a lot for the hints!

Postfix thinks there isn't enough disk space in a jail
This problem seems to be affecting Postfix in a FreeBSD jail, and I haven't seen this problem outside of a jail, so I'm trying questions@ first.

We should clean some things up, but we do still have 1.9GB of free space. (And we often linger around this anyway.) Postfix is set to accept mail as long as there is 25MB of free space: main.cf:queue_minfree = 2500 Anyone seen this happen? Postfix should not be returning '452 Insufficient system storage' to clients at this point. It doesn't happen for all mails. Just around 5% of so.

I'm using (or rather trying to use) cron to update my ports tree daily. I've tried several different combinations without success, and lately this is what I have in my crontab file: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /home/krinklyfig/supfiles/ports-supfile /usr/local/bin/portindex /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u It runs as root once a day. What appears to be happening is that the cvsup is happening, but portindex is not, and because of the latter portsdb -u doesn't either. The reason I know cvsup is working is because portindex indicates that the ports tree has been updated if I run it manually later, but running portversion before manually running portindex will not indicate any changes. The cron log doesn't show anything but the commands being executed. So, my question is: is this type of command valid, or should each command be separate? Or is it not working for some other reason? man cron gives: crontab [-u user] file 'file' being the important part, methinks. ;) I'm not sure what you mean ... If you're wondering, I'm using the main crontab file (/etc/crontab), as right now there's no need for me to use multiple ones. Just an aside, but a rather important one: /etc/crontab is the *system* crontab and shouldn't have your jobs in it. It may in fact be this issue that is causing the problem, but I've not looked into it enough to say unequivocally... Since your job needs root privileges, you should put this in root's crontab, either by su'ing to root and running crontab -e at the prompt, or if you have sudo installed, sudo crontab -e will get you there. Unlike the system crontab, user crontabs, including root's, are under /var/cron; the file format is slightly different, and misuse of the system crontab for regular jobs is the cause of several FAQ posts we see here every few months or so; one of these goes something like, why do I get an email from cron saying it can't complete my job, unknown user, etc. ??

Re: Can you e-mail me the minimal requirements for FreeBSD?
Douglas Blancahrd wrote: Yes, I need a list of minimal requirements for FreeMSD, Do you mean FreeBSD? ;-) including amount of video card memory or whatever it's called, Well, video card memory is video card memory. It sounds as if you're expecting a Windows-like recommended minimum hardware configuration list; you won't find one, because FreeBSD is extremely flexible; there is not a standard application model necessarily. If you want a headless firewall box, for example, you don't need hardware that is anywhere near as hefty as you would for, say, working as an animator at Pixar just as an example. The short answer---depends on what you want to see. You can probably run a base system on hardware from 1988 if you want to. If you want to see graphics and pretty colors or pictures, something more modern is needed. Video card memory isn't usually as important as the type of video card; I've run FreeBSD+XFree86+ GNOME on SiS, Savage, Trident, Nvidia GeForce, and a few other types of hardware. hard disk space, etc., Again, it depends on what you want to do; AAMOF, you can run FreeBSD without a Hard disk (assuming you have a second machine to read from via the network) You could get by with as little as a few hundred megabytes if you just wanted a little system; if you intend to make it your desktop machine, you'll want as much as you can reasonably afford, if you're much like the rest of us. The machine I'm using ATM has a 40 GB HDD, and I'm constantly guarding against getting it too full; it serves as a desktop computer, LAN web/mail server, LAN gateway/DNS/firewall, RSync backup server, web development environment, LAN mp3 storage, etc., etc., etc... needless to say I'm always on the lookout for storage bargains and also will it support SoundMAX integrated sound cards? Does it use the AC '97 protocol? If so, I'd say yes. Check the organization's web site for a Hardware Compatibility List, which might list your device. In general, I've found the pcm driver to be rather flexible. Hardware from the windoze world that gives more trouble are usually things like internal modems and certain USB devices, along with the odd archaic peripheral that just never got a driver written for it... Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. P.S. You may or may not have noticed; in the context of replying to you, I caused your lines to be broken into smaller lines (around 72-80 characters is best). As FreeBSD users run the gamut from a graphics guy working with a dual 21 inch display at some goshawful resolution to someone reading from a 80-column serial console, it's good practice to hit enter whenever your lines get about as long as these; that way we can be nice to the 80-column guys ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using (or rather trying to use) cron to update my ports tree daily.

What appears to be happening is that the cvsup is happening, but portindex is not, and because of the latter portsdb -u doesn't either. The reason I know cvsup is working is because portindex indicates that the ports tree has been updated if I run it manually later, but running portversion before manually running portindex will not indicate any changes. The cron log doesn't show anything but the commands being executed. So, my question is: is this type of command valid, or should each command be separate? Or is it not working for some other reason?

Re: Postfix thinks there isn't enough disk space in a jail
adp said: This problem seems to be affecting Postfix in a FreeBSD jail, and I haven't seen this problem outside of a jail, so I'm trying questions@ first. I am running postfix-2.0.18,1 (from ports) in a FreeBSD 4.10 system in a jail. Everything was fine until recently I moved NFS services over to this same server. (This may be a red herring.) Now, every few mails I get an email to Postmaster like this: In normal operation, Postfix makes a system call to check to see if it can create a file of a certain size. Inside a jail, this call will not succeed as per the very design of jails. Thus, you must use the following one-line patch to make postfix work. You can use the `patch` command, but it's probably just easiest to insert the line manually.

Particular problem with ftpd
Hi everybody, My name is Pedro and I'm having some troubles with ftpd. I'd like to ask you for some help. I'm a complete beginner at FreeBSD, my distribution is FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE and I've been configuring it as I read things on the internet. I'm running FTPD in stand-alone mode, with a single line home-made initialization script (on rc.d) # ftpd -D -ll I adjusted the config files /etc/ftpusers and /etc/ftpchroot, to give a particular group the priviledge to read the folders of the FTP home and obviously root the group to this directory. After that I configured my TCP Wrapper to allow (and generate a log) with all the requests made to the ftpd deamon (/etc/hosts.allow) ftpd : ALL : spawn (/usr/echo %c /var/log/ftpconn) : allow ALL : ALL : deny I execute the FTP program from command-line and then it goes well. I just log on with a valid user and proceed. #ftp localhost But the problem comes when I ask a buddy to test my ftp... everyone tells me the same thing: My client says your server is busy. I've already looked for a log at /var/log, but I didn't find anything that even register a connection request. If you could give me a single sparkle of light... I didn't find anything on the documentations or over the internet that tells me a thing about that...

Odd performance with FreeBSD 4.10 and Compaq 317453-001 dual ethernet NIC
Hello, I recently decided to swap out the 3Com 3C905-TXM board in my router for a dual port Compaq NC3122 (317453-001) dual port NIC so I could avoid using the built-in NIC (the Intel ICH2 integrated fxp device) Ironically, I was told that this board would perform well for this application. The board has a Intel/DEC 21152 PCI bridge, and two Intel S82558B ethernet controllers - all of which are found and initialized. The board shows up as fxp0 and fxp1 under pcib1. Both ports indicate a link to the switch, and show activity. The problem is that performance for both ports is, shall we say, extremely lacking. I will see normal performance for a few seconds, then the board will disappear for several seconds, then reappear. In some cases, the board will quit responding so long that services will time out. When I ssh into the router through one of the ports on this board, I can see the remote end stop responding to my typing in mid-stream. Other than the fact that remote hosts are having a devil of a time talking to the router when this board is used, there is nothing in the logs to indicate trouble, and the machine is stable. The original NIC works fine - and I use it to log in and halt the box when I am testing. Is this just a bad board, or is something else going on? If anything, I would suspect the bridge chip, as both ports exhibit this behavior.

Alternatives to CVSUP for Security Updates and Errata
Hello. I am a systems adminstrator for large multi-national firm, consisting of approximately 90,000 employees. I currently manage several FreeBSD 4.9 and 4.10 servers that serve as high volume web servers to several of our employees worldwide. As you can imagine, in firm the size of ours, various teams are reponsible for various aspects of our technology infrastructure. With that said, I have requested to have our security team create a policy that will allow traffic to and from my servers via port 5999 for CVSup, so that I could synch my source. My request has been flatly refused, due to the fact that FreeBSD is not a firm-standard operating system. The security team will not open up the firewalls for this purpose. CVSup is not an option. My question is what would be the best possible method of keeping up-to-date with security patches and errata? I have tried Colin Percival's FreeBSD-Update in the past, but I'm not sure that this is the best method, since I am using some SMP custom kernels. I've also heard that CTM is a very error-plagued and archaic method. Please advise. Thank you. - Post your free ad now! Yahoo!

Maximum Transfer Size, ATA, and UFS2, was lowered? How?
I have been watching the maximum KB/t for devices using systat -v. A week or two ago prompted by other messages here experimented with tunefs -m 5 ad0s1f and very shortly thereafter restored it to the original value of 8. Previously 127 KB/t was often seen for large file actions. Currently seems that the limit has been dropped from 128k to 64k. All I can think that I did was flip the minfree percentage using tunefs from 8 to 5 and back to 8. How can I restore the fs characteristics back to normal? System is 5.2.1-p9.

If you're wondering, I'm using the main crontab file (/etc/crontab), as right now there's no need for me to use multiple ones. Just an aside, but a rather important one: /etc/crontab is the *system* crontab and shouldn't have your jobs in it. It may in fact be this issue that is causing the problem, but I've not looked into it enough to say unequivocally... I don't think this is true. For one thing, as suggested, directing output of cvsup to /dev/null worked, and now my cron job is working. Another is that neither the handbook nor the /etc/crontab file itself warn about editing it. In fact, the handbook section 11.6 says, Important: You must not use the procedure described here to edit/install the system crontab. Simply use your favorite editor: the cron utility will notice that the file has changed and immediately begin using the updated version. This is what I did. I didn't use the crontab command to edit/install it, I just used an editor. Since your job needs root privileges, you should put this in root's crontab, either by su'ing to root and running crontab -e at the prompt, or if you have sudo installed, sudo crontab -e will get you there. Unlike the system crontab, user crontabs, including root's, are under /var/cron; the file format is slightly different, and misuse of the system crontab for regular jobs is the cause of several FAQ posts we see here every few months or so; one of these goes something like, why do I get an email from cron saying it can't complete my job, unknown user, etc. ?? Again, I see nothing in the documentation warning against editing the system crontab file, only that it can't be installed/edited with the crontab command. - jt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're wondering, I'm using the main crontab file (/etc/crontab), as right now there's no need for me to use multiple ones. what you might want to do, is simply write a shell script and feed that into your crontab. in case you're not sure how to make a script, it is very simple and google will return many tutorials. I had considered this, and eventually would like to do so, as I'd like to add the output of fastest_cvsup to the server listed in the supfile. in a nutshell, you put the commands you want into a file, make that file executable (chmod), and away you go. the first line of a shell script has an obligatory format and invokes the shell that will be used. #!/bin/sh the leading # is required /usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 2 /foo/path/to/your/ports-supfile; # comments are allowed portindex; exit Is verbosity of -L 2 allowed in a script without output? IOW, should that first line be: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 2 /path/to/supfile /dev/null 21; Or does it matter if the output has nowhere to go? note: you might also prefer to end commands with rather than ; i'm new to scripting myself so please forgive my feeble explanation. I'm pretty new to scripting as well. Does ; allow the next line to run, even if the previous one didn't, as opposed to which would only allow the next line to run if the previous one was successful? (This would be similar to how a one-line command works outside a script.) about the commands which you are planning to include, why the 'portsdb -u'? is that not doing essentially the same work as 'portindex' ? (http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/portindex/) No, portindex doesn't update the database. The command portsdb -U generates an INDEX, which is what portindex does (although portindex does it faster), while portsdb -u generates the INDEX.db from the ports INDEX file. However, the database is generated automatically if need be when it's looked up, so it's not necessary - man portsdb mentions this - but I like to have my ducks in a row, so to speak ;) anyhow. hope this helps.

Troubles with PPP
Hello FreeBSD Team! Please help me! I have some problems with internet connection. I'm using internet by a modem (dial-up). My Internet Service Provider uses Microsoft CBCP callback protocol. How can I setup my FreeBSD to work with this callback? Phone number to call back to I shouldn't enter, it's stored on Internet Service Provider's Server. My FreeBSD release is 5.1-RELEASE. Can't you send me example of a /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file, which contains settings for dial-up connection with Microsoft CBCP callback.

Re: Alternatives to CVSUP for Security Updates and Errata
In the last episode (Aug 26), Kenneth A. Bond said: I currently manage several FreeBSD 4.9 and 4.10 servers that serve as high volume web servers to several of our employees worldwide. As you can imagine, in firm the size of ours, various teams are reponsible for various aspects of our technology infrastructure. With that said, I have requested to have our security team create a policy that will allow traffic to and from my servers via port 5999 for CVSup, so that I could synch my source. My request has been flatly refused, due to the fact that FreeBSD is not a firm-standard operating system. The security team will not open up the firewalls for this purpose. CVSup is not an option. You don't need to allow incoming connections to port 5999; cvsup by default will multiplex traffic over the one outgoing connection. You can also connect through a SOCKS proxy server (but not an HTTP proxy) if your company has one. If your firewall blocks all outgoing TCP connects, then you are probably stuck. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm glad you posted this, as in searching the archives I noticed you've posted it before, but it's changed since the last time. After I sent it, I noticed that in the past I had used fetch. I would now use make fetchindex instead. With fetchindex, you don't have to modify the permissions on INDEX to use it as a user. When index builds are dying, it is a kind of moot point because I would resort to one of my backed up versions and not fetch from FreeBSD anyway.

That way only one machine spent the time creating INDEX. At this point, the test machine is using xorg-* and I have dropped my normal machine back to using XFree86. So, I have to create INDEX on both machines. There is a situation when xorg and KDE loses track of what keyboard and layout you are using. KDE switched into using some form of Greek.

apache port ignoring datadir variable

Issuing env DATADIR=/var/www make install clean doesn't do it either. I went so far as to editing the Makefile itself and I *still* end up with everything in /usr/local/www. Why? On a related note, while looking at the Makefile I noticed line 148 disregards the $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable and instead uses $PREFIX/www/data; which as far as I can tell is incorrect.

I want to run a command tar czf - / | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd of=tarball.tgz I need to run tar as root. However, I need to run ssh as user 'id'. I tried sudo tar czf - / | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd of=tar.tgz but am unsure if ssh was launched as 'id' or as root. Any way to be certain that sudo is doing what I want? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Messed up port updating (Was Re: Updated to 4.10, now portupgrade?)

What you want to do is cvsup the ports collection, and probably the src-all collection. There are many ways to do it but here's how I do it. Here's my /etc/make.conf. Notice the lines regarding the three sup files: # LIGHTNING: /etc/make.conf # # CPUTYPE doesn't work in 4.x yet, except openssh #CPUTYPE=p4 # X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xfree86-4 # BDECFLAGS= -W -Wall -amsi -pedantic -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align \ -Wcast-qual -Wchar-subscripts -Winline \ -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith \ -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings # # To avoid building various parts of the base system: NOPROFILE= true # Avoid compiling profiled libraries # # If you're resident in the USA, this will help various ports to determine # whether or not they should attempt to comply with the various U.S. # export regulations on certain types of software which do not apply to # anyone else in the world. # USA_RESIDENT= YES # # CVSup update flags. Edit SUPFILE settings to reflect whichever distribution # file(s) you use on your site (see /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README for more # information on CVSup and these files). To use, do make update in /usr/src. # SUP_UPDATE= yes # SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup #SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.FreeBSD.org SUPFILE=/root/cvsup/stable-supfile PORTSSUPFILE= /root/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE= /root/cvsup/doc-supfile # # Documentation # # The list of languages and encodings to build and install # DOC_LANG= en_US.ISO8859-1 # cups-lpr requirements #CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes #NO_LPR=yes # # -- use.perl generated deltas -- # # Created: Sun Aug 8 11:13:32 2004 # Setting to use base perl from ports: #PERL_VER=5.8.5 #PERL_VERSION=5.8.5 #PERL_ARCH=mach #NOPERL=yo #NO_PERL=yo #NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo You can use find to find these files on your machine: find / -name ports-supfile You should also use find to look for an example make.conf. There's knowledge in there. Don't be offended if you're familiar with find, I have no idea about your expertise. And within the ports-supfile, you'll probably let it say ports-all. So then you go to /usr/src and say: make update And if you have if set up right, it'll connect to the cvsup server of your choice and download the latest changes. Please refer to the handbook for more details for what I've discussed so far and/or ask questions. After cvsupping the ports skeleton (a collection of Makefiles, etc.) you need to run portsdb -U. All the preceeding requires at least two ports already be installed, cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui if you don't have X windows installed) and portupgrade. Once you've cvsupped the ports skeleton, you'll be able to install the latest version of any port (on occasion they're broke though). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, first off I didn't follow the instructions above verbatim. What I did do is copy ports-supfile, edited it, and perform a cvsup using it. All it seemed to do, however, is delete everything in the ports directory. Here's how I edited my ports-supfile *default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-all Did I do something horribly wrong? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
