SpamAssassin and country-specific blocking

2006-02-19 Thread Dave

Hello,
   I just installed the latest SpamAssassin port and noticed it had 
country-specific spam filtering as well as spf and ssl support. Does anyone 
have a howto on getting all this going with an mta in a production 
environment? I'm not looking for anything like a manual, but practical 
experiences.

Thanks.
Dave.

Re: Removing BOM from UTF-8

Hi,

 OK, then that is the problem. I need it to actually write the file. It
 could either rename the old file and then rewrite it which would be nice,
 or just over write the old file. The BOM is just the first three
 characters in the file. I am assuming that it would not be removing
 anything else in the file.

use a for-loop in your shell:

# bash
# cd to/your/directory
# for i in *; do 
#  nobom.sh $i  $i.new
# done

this will take all your files in your directory and proceed each one it 
with nobom.sh, which then will write it to new file. 

Be sure that your perlscript points to your perl installation on your
system. You can use 'which perl' to get the location of your perl
installation.

Cheers Erik

incorrect superblock error when mounting partition

2006-02-19 Thread Dave

Hello,
   I've got a 10 gb ide drive that has critical data on one of it's 
partitions /dev/ad1e. This drive was originally gmirrored in another box it 
worked fine, it was the master drive. Now i've installed this drive as a 
slave in another 6.0 box, and now it shows up as ad1 with the partition i 
want being ad1e. I did a mount -o ro /dev/ad1e /mnt and i'm getting an error 
Incorrect superblock from mount. I then tried fsck /dev/ad1e and got the 
same error msg. These partitions were formatted with ufs2 as their 
filesystem. I then ran bsdlabel ad1 and got a printout of my label, this 
showed up which gives me hope that this data can be retrieved. An error i'm 
getting says that the c: partition does not cover the entire disk and that 
may result in utilities not working. Any help appreciated.

   Some urgency!
Thanks.

country-specific spam filtering as well as spf and ssl support. Does anyone

mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

That list is quite handy for solving SPF problems if you have any. (It
should work outa the box.) It can also help you setup the trusted_network
concept. It's not quite what you might think it is. It simply means that
this network is one I trust not to falsify header information. Usually
SA can figure this out for itself. But if you see ALL_TRUSTED as a spam
rule that got listed for all or most messages then it needs to be setup.

The ssl support is something I've not looked at. (I am still running a
tweaked 3.04 brought up to 3.05 for bug fixes. I have some special
debugging crammed into my spamassassin install.)

Interesting places to look for ideas is the /usr/share/spamassassin
(in Linux speak - my install's on linux for now) for the common rules.
You can search for score for scores and look at the rules to get some
idea of what's going on with them.

The users's list, though, is generally the best help. Folks with LARGE
ISPs are there as well as my ISP For Two setup.

Are you sure you don't want ad1s1e?

Also, posting the output from the following commands would go a long 
way in helping you figure out what to do:


fdisk /dev/ad1
bsdlabel /dev/ad1
bsdlabel /dev/ad1s1

And possibly:

depending on what fdisk shows.

shutdown not shutting down :-(

2006-02-19 Thread Matias Surdi

Hi, Linux-user, FreeBSD-newbie posting here.

I've a recent installation of FreeBSD, and when I do

# shutdown now

It starts the shutdown process but it hangs promting for the shell path.

I think that this could be something related to the order in which 
partitions are unmounted.


Any idea?

Hi Matias,

no, everything is OK. 'shutdown now' brings the system to 'single
user' state. If you want to restart or power down the machine have a
look at man 8 shutdown (especially '-p' or '-r' options).

Also:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-shutdown.html

Best regards,

Karol

that's exactly what shutdown now is supposed to do.

If you want the machine to power off you can use
shutdown -p now
or if you just want it to halt but stay on you can use
shutdown -h now

the shutdown(8) man page has all the details.

You MUST'NT force speed and duplex if the switch is in autoselect !
you will lost 20 to 30% of packets !!

Try autoselect, if you get 100 full, stay in autoselect. (If you force
100 full and the switch is auto, then the switch will be in 100 half
!)

try this:
ping -c 1000 -s 1500 IP_TO_PING

wait for the 1000 ping to go trough. You should not have more than
0,5% of loss (is the servers aren't overload). If it's more or equal
than 0,5%, it comes from the network (cables or switches fault).
Each host would be in 100 full (via autoselect to be sure the conf is
ok on the switch).

3Ware Escalade Issues

2006-02-19 Thread Don O'Neil
Hi all,
  I've been experiencing some problems with my 3ware Escalade 6000 array
lately that has been causing spontaneous reboots of the system.

There appears to be a bad sector on one of the drives according to smartctl,
but nothing serious. 

However, every time the system tried to write to that sector in the array,
the system would freeze, and then reboot, and of course it would say the
file system isn't clean, etc...

Since the file system is 1 TB in size, it would take 8+ hours to FSCK it.
The array is only striped, and not mirrored or built with redunancy. I'm
basically using the card/driver to make one large volume for a web server.

I have a few questions:

1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility
issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future)

2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue?

3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system
into thinking the file system is clean?

4) Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks all!!!

It seems unlikely that he'd get  good throughput

Re: 3Ware Escalade Issues

Don O'Neil wrote:
 There appears to be a bad sector on one of the drives according to smartctl,
 but nothing serious. 

What that may mean is that there have been many bad sectors, which have been
corrected using the spares, until no more spare sectors are left for 
replacements.

That drive may well fail catastrophically, soon.

 However, every time the system tried to write to that sector in the array,
 the system would freeze, and then reboot, and of course it would say the
 file system isn't clean, etc...
 
 Since the file system is 1 TB in size, it would take 8+ hours to FSCK it.
 The array is only striped, and not mirrored or built with redunancy. I'm
 basically using the card/driver to make one large volume for a web server.

OK.  Well, if this data is important to you, you should give consideration to
using a RAID-1, RAID-10, or RAID-5 configuration to gain redundancy.

 I have a few questions:
 
 1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility
 issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future)

Normally, the OS will only kill the affected processes using that sector, but
without knowing where it is, perhaps it's affecting some important file like the
kernel itself, /bin/sh...?

 2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue?

Shut down the system.  Replace the failing hard drive.  Use dd to make an exact
copy onto the new drive on some other system. and put the new drive back into
the array.  Note that the replacement drive must be an exact match for this to
work, otherwise you will have to backup your data and rebuild the array.

Speaking of which, do you have known-good backups available?

 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system
 into thinking the file system is clean?

If you update to 5.x or later, you can use background FSCK rather than having to
wait for the FSCK to complete the way it does under 4.x.

 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Also, if you update to 5.x, you can run the smartmon tools, which will let you
do a drive self-test using SMART, this will give much better information about
what is going on with the drive, and also give an estimate of its remaining
lifespan.

How old are the drives, if you know?

cp -p comes reasonably close, but will duplicate files rather than creating
hard links.  If you need to preserve hard links, consider using tar or maybe
rsync to do the copying instead.

Well, for one thing, it's the way master/slave ports work.
Many slave ports just set a flag (like WITH_GTK2). If
you already have this flag enabled in make.conf the
two ports are effectively identical.

In general, such slave ports only appear because of
the inflexibilities of the ports system. Their presence is
not really a Bad Thing in the absence of a better
solution.

 Hi,

 I am looking for some advice. I have a network which is based on a

 internal network, I have setup a DHCP server with a Dynamic DNS (Bind 9)
 on one of the servers. That server is handling the LDAP side of the
 domain.

 There appears to be a fair bit of DNS Traffic which leads to a secondary
 DNS being required to take some of the load as DNS lookup are slow. The
 question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server
 using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail
 server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper
 secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from the
 primary.

 Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I have no experience in this area.

A secondary server using the primary as a forwarder is
generally a better idea if the primary is stable enough.
The secondary will share some load without taking up
extra bandwidth.

In case the primary is not stable enough, or if you really
need to scale by 2 (i.e. share the load evenly between
the servers), you'll have to use the ISP's dns servers as
forwarders instead. This will cut the efficiency of your
DNS cache by two.

At our place (3000+ hosts) we have our primary on a
rock-solid box and secondaries using it as forwarder.

RE: Sendmail - IMAP-UW - Cyrus-SASL2 - SMTPAUTH problems

2006-02-19 Thread Greg Groth

First, thank you for your reply.

Second, I have figured out the problem of not being able to delete IMAP 
folders in Thunderbird.  Apparently this is a client-side issue, not a 
server one.  The answer is to unsubscribe the trash folder in Thunderbird.  
After unsubscribing, it still appears and operates normally, and you are 
then able to delete folders.  I found the answer in forums regarding older 
versions of Mozilla Mail, which is why nothing turned up on a search for 
Thunderbird.  Not sure of the exact cause, or if this indeed a bug or just 
something I missed in the documentation, but it works now.

Subject: RE: Sendmail - IMAP-UW - Cyrus-SASL2 - SMTPAUTH problems
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 04:11:15 -0800

Hi Greg,

  It is true there's a lot of software available but I have found
over the years that a lot of the packages are good, and will work
equally well on the back end.  Most of the older ones have matured
to the point that a rather common selection criteria is I chose
that because that's what all my friends are running

  You really won't know what works the best unless you try all of
the packages, and nobody has the time for that.  So what you have
to do is just pick one based on whatever sketchy research you turn
up and spend some time on it, after a few months you will know if it's
going to work for you or not.  Most times it will work OK for you
so your choice becomes one of which is better: knowing a few packages
well, or a lot of packages not very well.

  A hobbiest/amateur is better off knowing a lot of packages not
very well, because their fun is in trying out new things and learning
how different things are done.  But a manager of a production system
is in the other boat, they need to know a few packages very, very
well.  You need to be aware of which kind of person your taking advice
from.

  IMHO RedHat isn't much good unless you go the full meal deal
and buy a support contract from RedHat.  If you are upgrading from
old 7/9 RH and you want to keep the RH universe, and you don't
want to buy into support, then go to CentOS.


RedHat was becoming a pain to deal with.  It seemed to me, and this is just 
my opinion and worth the paper this email is printed on, that a lot of the 
software had been tweaked to where common solutions to common problems 
didn't work, and solutions had to be found for the specific version of 
RedHat I was using.  Not that there's anything morally wrong with RedHat 
doing this, I just found it a pain when looking for answers to problems.




  Frankly I feel that one of the big problems with Linux right
now is they are missing the boat on SATA RAID big time, and I
mean really, really big time.  Most server-quality motherboards
these days come with RAID0/1 SATA chipsets, and disk drives are
so cheap now that even people putting together little crummy servers
are going mirrored SATA disks.  But Linux has ignored this, claiming
it's the responsibility of the manufacturers to write drivers, and
most of them haven't.  The Linux people all seem to think it's
perfectly OK to go buy an Intel motherboard with onboard ICH7R
RAID and disable that and drop $200 into a 3ware RAID card and
plug that into the motherboard if you have the nerve to run
RAID on anything other than a Real SCSI RAID array.  Fine, let
them delude themselves, it just puts Linux further and further
away from the server arena.  Most Linux distros have terrible
or nonexistent support for Promise RAID cards as well, once again,
really short-sighted.


I don't know much on this subject I'm afraid, but I'm about to get into this 
because KnoppMyth apparently has issues running a SATA drive as a primary 
boot device.  (Off the subject, but I tried getting MythTV running on RedHat 
FC4, and ran into too many issues getting it running to continue on that 
route).




  Anyway, getting back to your situation.  We run SSL imap and
pop3, with uw-imap.  I recommend this route since it allows
people to hit their maibox with both pop3 and imap and not
get a lot of funny messages about popping down the placeholder
message.  uw-imap used to have a problem with really big e-mails
years ago, it would swap itself to death building the tempfiles,
this was fixed years ago.


I did solve my SSL problem by recompiling UW-IMAP and Sendmail without SSL, 
and installing stunnel.  Everything is working the way I want it configured. 
 Hopefully there won't be any scalability issues, but I don't expect any in 
our tiny environment.




  We run SMTP AUTH but we don't run SSL SMTP.  Why?  Because
way too many customers out there still run elderly versions of
e-mail clients that can't handle SSL SMTP.  If I was doing up a
mailserver for a corporation I might consider SSL SMTP, but
frankly, I think the idea that someone's going to sniff your
password is highly overrated.  Most people set their e-mail

I'm trying to compile openoffice and I get the following dependency 
issue.  I have applications that depend on the 1.75 version of bison.  
How do I resolve this.


Thanks.

Tim,

The default location crontabs are stored in is /var/cron/tabs/username/,
and yes they can be edited manually.

Take a look at:

No, since it's a build dependency only.  The package system wouldn't
let you delete it if it was truly in use.

 It sounds like a hardware issue. Install

I installed 'smartmontools' but haven't used as yet. I've been waiting to
see what happens -- the problem simply stopped. There've been no ad0:

The only thing done outside of the ordinary, prior to the messages
stopping, was to set the date. It's probably a coincidence but setting
the date was also the last thing done before the the messages started.

The errors get logged in the drive so you dont have to wait for more
errors to happen.  Start it running now so you can see if any of the
bad counters are changing as well as to ask the drive what it was.
My guess is you have some bad sectors the drive remapped.

hostname

2006-02-19 Thread eoghan

Hello
Im wondering what the hostname value should read in my rc.conf... I  
booted to gnome and it was complaining it couldnt find myhostname...

suggested adding it to /etc/hosts
So i added
127.0.0.1 nathaniel
also in here was:
127.0.0.1 localhost
reboot and i was getting errors about not being able to bind to nathanie
Check my rc.conf and hostname now read nathanie (without the l)
I changed it to localhost and im still getting these boot errors and  
message when i startx.

What should this read. I has been long since i have edited my rc.conf...

Re: Issues with new soundcard

2006-02-19 Thread David LeCount
Okay, I've almost got this sound issue figured out. I
am able to get my volume back by unloading and
reloading snd_ich. However, any time I restart X,
there is no volume again. I can't figure out what in
the hell X has to do with my sound driver. It occured
to be that artsd might have something to do with it,
but if I disable and reenable artsd, I still have
volume, whereas if I disable it (still having volume)
and then restart X, I lose volume. Again, my main and
pcm volumes are turned up, so I don't really know what
it's doing. Does anyone have any clues before I file a
bug report?

 assuming you are using Apache, you can use * for Ip address and let it
 be name-based virt host.
  

 Already running thus. DNS seems to be the problem, then. (Which I'll
 poke at later assuming hosting alternatives don't work out.)
(sorry for the delay in replying)
One thing you want to make sure you have off is the reverse dns lookup
setting in your httpd.conf - it's rather useless and it will add a
dependency on DNS to your web services.


 WAN. People have tried pinging and browsing, with no success.
   

 then I would review the rules...
  

 Relevant rules text(and based on both startup text and behaviour of
 the firewall for other tasks, I know the rules file is being parsed)
 excerpted below:

for proper diagnosing, it'd be better to have the whole thing :)
hopefully it's already fixed...
---
 cmd=ipfw -q add
 pif=rl0 #Interface which opens to the WAN; NAT interface

Is your NAT properly configured?
 prif=ed0 #LAN interface, private-side
 ks=keep-state

 # More stuff here...

 $cmd 400 allow udp from 24.226.1.121 to me 68 in via $pif # DHCP server
 $cmd 401 allow tcp from any to me 80 in via $pif # Apache
 $cmd 402 allow tcp from any to me 22 in via $pif # SSH
 $cmd 403 allow icmp from any to me in via $pif # For testing;
 low-traffic, not worried about ping floods at this time
 ---

 The firewall's DHCP requests are working fine, so #400 is working
 properly.
ok
 Other machines, however, cannot see it.
what do you mean by this? the fact that #400 is working doesnt mean that
#401 will :) (there's nothing particularly wrong with #401..just saying
you are making the wrong assumption)


 That's one problem. The other is DNS. I'm still looking through the
 named.conf file and poking at the settings given for a secondary
 server... all I really want is a caching server that will first look
 at my own /etc/hosts file (where the domain names which refer to this
 machine are specified by their private-facing address).
hmm .. why would named.conf look into /etc/hosts ?
If this is your main DNS server for your zone, then make sure that it's
properly delegated, that all the relevant hosts are defined IN YOUR BIND
config , (well, /etc/hosts can't hurt, but you are just adding extra
variables that can muddle things up).

There's lots of good docs on BIND out there. If you want a rather easy
UI, why not install webmin from the ports?

good luck,
Beto

Try something similar to nathan.localdomain if you don't have either  
an NIS or DNS domain, since localdomain's kind of like a special

If no then how can I go about doing that.

1) Go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/

2) Download the file 6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

3) If you want to, burn a CD of that file, boot from it, and install 
FreeBSD.


For versions other than 6.0-RELEASE or architectures other than i386 
(e.g. AMD 64-bit), browse around the ftp site; they're not hard to find.

 followed the instructions below found on the fulxbox site but it does not 
 quite work

 http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_add_fluxbox_to_wdm

 I get the wdm ok beasty is there, very cool backgound i might add, seen it 
 used in a theme somewhere. No matter what i pick for a windows manager i get 
 the stock Freebsd one wmaker i think? u know the one with the terminal and 
 green menu bars very vanilla.
green menu bars  = twm
wmaker = much better, check it out @ http://www.windowmaker.org
   An exception to this kde still works and failsafe gives me control of the 
 terminal window bottom right.

 Also i removed a bunch of managers out of the wdm-config file as i was not 
 using them like this.  

 DisplayManager*wdmWm:   wmaker:enlightenment:gnome:kde:fluxbox

 I still get failsafe and wmaker where do us suppose these come from.  Kde 
 still works but not enlightenment gnome or flux box 

   

After editing the wdm-config, you need to restart wdm.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill the X server and re-read all the configs.

can you please post your wdm-config and a list of your package installed
? (or make them available online)

the relevant section in my config:
---
! It will run .xsession
!DisplayManager*wdmWm:   None
---
which means it will read .xsession in my home.
my .xsession is :

$ cat ~/.xsession
## RUNNING bbkeys from Blackbox because it feels more powerful
## to avoid conflicts with fluxbox's key mgr, I emptied .fluxbox/keys
bbkeys

fbpager -w 
#wmwifi 
sleep 1  gkrellm -w 
#fbdesk

portupgrade avr-libc error

2006-02-19 Thread Steve Pauly
Greetings,

I am running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0

I am attempting to upgrade my avr-libc port. (/usr/ports/devel/avr-libc)

pkg_version -v shows:
avr-libc-1.2.5,1   needs updating (port has 1.4.3,1)
Note: all other ports show current except kde related items.

So, I updated my port collection:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 2 ~/ports-supfile
pkgdb -vF

Next, I try to upgrade the port:
portupgrade avr-libc

I get:
** Port marked as IGNORE: devel/avr-libc:
is marked as broken: Incomplete pkg-plist

Opening the /usr/ports/devel/avr-libc/Makefile, I see this line:
BROKEN= Incomplete pkg-plist



What should I do to fix this error? 

Thanks.

ps
On a related note, I see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=91145 
mentions a problem, but it appears to relate to 7.0-CURRENT so I do not know if 
it applies.

FreeBsd Help

2006-02-19 Thread Kris Wieschhaus


  I am a college student at HLG college. I am a Computer Information
  Systems major and I have chosen to present FreeBSD to my class as a
  final project. I downloaded version 6.0 from the freeBSD Site. I made
  a bootable CD-ROM from the ISO image disc one. The installation seemed
  to have went ok, but when I go to put a password in for the root user
  nothing happens. When I type letters the insertion point (cursor) just
  stays in the same place as if no letters are being typed. When I turn
  it on now it seems to boot up fine. After I type in my login name and
  password I am unsure of how to install or run an application, which I
  am required to do for the project. I have tried finding a basic
  tutorial on the internet, but have been unable to do so. Please
  Help!!!

Dear Developers:


I have been trying (FOR A LONGTIME) to download a FreeBSD Unix OS

wondering if your company/team/crew have disabled it.

If no then how can I go about doing that.

Many weeks ago I succeeded in downloading 6.0. But if you don't have 
broadband it's nearly hopeless. When I first learned of FreeBSD - years 
ago - I tried downloading the ISO disks by modem. I would start a 
download at bedtime but it never worked for me. I had to do it with just 
the boot floppies and let the rest of the distribution packages download 
as they installed. I had a lot of restarts to get the whole thing.


But even if you've got broadband it will probably take a while. I don't 
know if there are traffic shapers installed on the server or if it 
always fairly busy but you are likely to get an average speed lower than 
your broadband max speed.

Check out the documentation on freebsd.org. You want to specifically
pay lots of attention to the handbook.

The password part is suppose to work that way. It does not show what
is being typed nor does it show how many characters are present. This
feature makes it in possible to guess the number of characters by
watching the screen.

Kris,
I added TRYBROKEN=  yes
in the Makefile and ran portupgrade avr-libc (getting further than 
before) with the following results:

As expected pkg_version shows the old libc still there.

Looking at this line: install  -o root -g wheel -m 444

I notice that that the first two file parameters specify files, while 
the last one specifies a directory. Is that the issue? Just guessing, 
newbie here. The other parameters seem okay I guess.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Steve.

Resolution Problem

2006-02-19 Thread Kyle Addis
Dear FreeBSD,
I installed freebsd with kde as my environment, but when I start kde, through 
the kdm command, my  
resolution is stuck at 640x320 or something like that, when I go into the 
desktop configure menu, in kde.  My laptop can do up to 1600x1400. Is there 
anything I can do to make my resolution go higher.

Thank You,

Re: portupgrade avr-libc error

2006-02-19 Thread Steve Pauly
Kris,

/usr/local/share/doc/avr-libc is a good directory. Should the 
parameter to install be files or directories?

Do you think I should pkg_delete avr-libc ?

Also, avr-libc was built from ports as part of avr-gcc, not that long 
ago. The whole install is but a few weeks old.

Thanks.

Re: portupgrade avr-libc error

2006-02-19 Thread Steve Pauly
Issue was resolved.

in 
/etc/make.conf
I had added a line
NOPORTDOCS=yes

to keep from building the docs, which would require Latex, etc. 

Once I commented out that line, the port upgraded without issue. At least one 
87MB file had to be downloaded though!

Thanks for your help.

You can get a printed manual both user and admin volumes from 
www.freebsdmall.com.
Also No Starch Press publishes a book titled 'Absolute BSD' by Michael 
Lewis.
It is available through the O'Reilly publications site, or from stores 
like Barnes and
Noble. There is also a book called FreeBSD Unleashed, but it may be out 
of date
as it seems only to cover versions up to 4x. None of these cover 
changes in v6,
specifically xfree86 has been replaced by x.org. This might throw you 
off, it did me
but I learned that there doesn't seem to be a significant difference. 
The only difference

I found was the X windows configuration script name, xorgconfig.
Hope this helps;
JK

Re: fresh install, portupgrade fails on xterm

2006-02-19 Thread Xn Nooby
I did a pkg_delete and I think a 'make deinstall clean', then re-did my
update process - which worked.  All these months experimenting with FreeBSD
I never saw anything in the UPDATING that effected me, and the first time I
didn't look, it had the answer to my question, lol.

thanks!

  i followed my normal fail-proof slow method of updating a fresh

  I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1.  I hadnt even gotten to
  configuring with X, so I was surprised there was a problem there.
  the command tat generated the error was:
 
 portpgrade -arR
 
 
  I'm guessing other people will also be getting this error soon.


 Maybe they read /usr/ports/UPDATING where

 20051113:
   AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients
   AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   Xterm no longer installs with '-static' prefix. Users should upgrade
   XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before
   attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions
 remove
   xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly.

 It worked for me back in November :).

or try desktopbsd. www.desktopbsd.net
pcbsd and desktopbsd both very easy. Freebsd is just easy, demo-wise that 
is.

 PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD, but is easier to install.  Maybe demo that.

WinSCP mega-slowness

2006-02-19 Thread Xn Nooby
For about a year I have noticed that whenever my Windows boxes talk to my
Unix boxes, they communicate at about 1/10 normal speed. I copy lots (300GB)
of large files back and forth between machines as I try different OS's, and
I always see this.

Specifically, if I copy from FreeBSD to FreeBSD, files transfer at 11 megs
per second.  Between FreeBSD and Linux, at about 8 megs per second.  Between
FreeBSD and Windows, about 1 megabyte per second.  This is on identical
hardware.  I've told other people about this, and they usually say I must be
doing something wrong, but recently a friend of mine upgraded a Windows box
to SP2, and now they are getting this same slowness.  When I copy from
Windows to WIndows (XP or W2k), I get 11 megs per second.

My machines are two P4's with gigabit NICs, and I'm using WinSCP and
(somtimes) pscp.exe on WIndows to talk to sshd on FreeBSD.  It's always a
shock when I have to copy my data to WIndows, and it takes 30 hours instead
of 3.

Does anyone else ever see this slowness when copying files between FreeBSD
and Windows?

Is Windows maybe capping the transfer speed when it talks to Unix?
