Re: How do I set up an IRC site?
On Thu, 4 May 2006, Gary Kline wrote: Folks, I'm thinking of setting up an IRC page on my website so I can chat (live) with just a few people. Are there any tutorials on this? Othr than using GAIM and ymessenger, the last time I did live chat was circa 1991 with the write utility. So beyond that, I'm clueless. I use hybrid (http://ircd-hybrid.com/) for the ircd - I chose that for its reputed stability. Hybrid's not the most featureful ircd out there, but it's been great to me. I added on hybserv (http://www.hybserv.net/) for services. For the web front-end part, I've tried several, from java clients to a cgi gateway. pjirc (http://www.pjirc.com/about.php) is a very sweet java applet. It's free, slick looking, very configurable (on the back/admin end) and very featureful as java clients go. Some limitations of java clients is that your clients need network access to the irc server (some sites/networks/companies/etc. block irc access) and you need java (which not all browsers/OSes support). That's why I also offer a cgi-to-irc (http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/) gateway. It's a bit clunky, but it allows people who can't use the java client (for one of the above reasons) to still connect to irc via the web. /-/ Who made the world I cannot tell; 'Tis made, and here am I in hell.

wlan on lowend laptop
i have a litlle problem with all these wires running here and there in my flat, and as i got a woman living here with me.. i cant stand her complaining about those ugly wires allover the house. One beautiful day, i decided to get involved with wlan. But this one linux-dude said that my p233mmx/64ram couldnt run wlan. I dont know if he ment WAP/WEP-encryption as he couldnt be any spesific and that got me thinking if he even knows anything. My setup these days is following: 1Ghz/256ddr (Desktop mahcine, with ssh Xforwarding) via 10Mbit LAN, and my laptop just happens to get a lot faster when i run all apps on that desktop-pc. My desktop is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and laptop has NetBSD 3.0 with standalone X few apps just to survive if my desktop-pc is down. I'm planning to change into FreeNX if it gives any advantage, but that would require to replace my laptop with freebsd as it is my favorite OS that has FreeNX client. Is it possible to keep up with this setup with changin all the wires with wireless-future. If WAP/WEP is the problem, couldn i just leave it out and use IPsec, or ssh instead? Or is WAP/WEP mandatory, or is it just enough if i set tight firewall-rules on both ends of wlan with IPsec, so no one could intrude into my system. If all goes well, my next sted would be to include one windows-pc also.. and that would need firewall for local wlan-crackers but somehow i dont believe that as a minor threat :) Lasse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kris Assuming you have an updated ports collection, it should work fine It does on my system. I would recommend that you update your ports again and then run 'portmanager -u -f -y -l' and see if that fixes the problem. At the very least, a log file will be created '/var/log/portmanager.log' that might help track down the problem. HTH Hi, thanks for the advice. I tried that command and it's been updating for a couple of days (takes so long because of the prompts that come up that stop the installs). Anyway, now portmanager always gets to a certain point and my computer reboots. I looked in the logfile and there isn't much there, this is at the end of the file: Sun Apr 30 16:36:17 2006 kdelibs-3.4.2_1 /x11/kdelibs3 OLD kdelibs-3.5.2_1 /x11/kdelibs3 Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks again for the help /Brian I did the same update without incident. You might want to place BATCH=yes in the /etc/make.conf file to stop those pesky prompts from appearing. It won't correct the reboots however. Are you sure it is being cause by a software problem and not a hardware situation? Is this just a spontaneous reboot or is a message of some type displayed?

i remember when i first started using freebsd about 2 months ago, the first kernel i built, i did the ULE (at some articles recommendataion). but, ive not done it since. i guess i have been noticing a bit of lag on my system (amd 1800mhz 512rdram, u160 scsi raid0), but nothing unacceptable. however, since i didnt have a problem with my first kernel that i did, and your positive response, i decided to go ahead and change out the specified scheduler in my kernconf, and let 'er rip. is your system a desktop? were your prevously running the same desktop configuration on the same box, with the 4BSD? is the ULE scheduler suited for a server setup as well (my server is also SMP), or is this something that should be kept to a desktop? thanks, jonathan horne On Sunday 07 May 2006 04:43, Duane Whitty wrote: Hi, I decided to give the ULE scheduler a try a while ago (April 28). when I last built 6-STABLE Anyhow it seems great.

20 Ierrs/sec on ath0 (no traffic)
I've recently installed a D-Link DWL-G520 PCI card in my Soekris Net4801. It's configured to use ipsec and seems to work very well except 'Daily' reports an ever increasing number of 'Ierrs' far in excess of 'Ipkts' and 'Opkts'. Without any traffic on the card the counter seems to increment by about 20/sec. I also notice the two LEDs on the card are flashing at about 0.5 c/s. It's my first experience of wireless so I have nothing to compare it with. Should I be worried? Is this common for wireless cards? grep ath /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_ath0=inet 10.10.20.1 netmask 255.255.255.252 channel 7 ssid skew_wifi mode 11b mediaopt hostap ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::211:95ff:fe91:8cdf%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 10.10.20.1 netmask 0xfffc broadcast 10.10.20.3 ether 00:11:95:91:8c:df media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b hostap status: associated ssid skew_wifi channel 7 bssid 00:11:95:91:8c:df authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 0 protmode CTS dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 netstat -i -I ath0 NameMtu Network AddressIpkts IerrsOpkts Oerrs Coll ath0 1500 Link#4 00:11:95:91:8c:df 0 1685321 2 0 0 ath0 1500 fe80:4::211:9 fe80:4::211:95ff: 0 -4 - - ath0 1500 10.10.20/30 10.10.20.1 0 -0 - - 10 seconds later: netstat -i -I ath0 NameMtu Network AddressIpkts IerrsOpkts Oerrs Coll ath0 1500 Link#4 00:11:95:91:8c:df 0 1685515 2 0 0 ath0 1500 fe80:4::211:9 fe80:4::211:95ff: 0 -4 - - ath0 1500 10.10.20/30 10.10.20.1 0 -0 - - -- John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One beautiful day, i decided to get involved with wlan. But this one linux-dude said that my p233mmx/64ram couldnt run wlan. Lies, all lies! My P200/32mB RAM with 6.0-RELEASE acts as an AP or a client with WEP, WPA, etc with no issues. Thanks for your opinion :) I dont know if he ment WAP/WEP-encryption as he couldnt be any spesific and that got me thinking if he even knows anything. My setup these days is following: 1Ghz/256ddr (Desktop mahcine, with ssh Xforwarding) via 10Mbit LAN, and my laptop just happens to get a lot faster when i run all apps on that desktop-pc. Good idea, does it lag at all? I'm thinking of configuring that. Yes it lags a little, but nothing compared for opera running natively on laptop. Normally, websites renders pic by pic.. but with this configuration, it all just jumps on the screen instantly after short period time of 'thinkin' which is about 1sec. I think that 100Mbit would be a great improvement. My desktop is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and laptop has NetBSD 3.0 with standalone X few apps just to survive if my desktop-pc is down. I'm planning to change into FreeNX if it gives any advantage, but that would require to replace my laptop with freebsd as it is my favorite OS that has FreeNX client. Is it possible to keep up with this setup with changin all the wires with wireless-future. If WAP/WEP is the problem, couldn i just leave it out and use IPsec, or ssh instead? If you're really having issues... then yeah. Or is WAP/WEP mandatory, or is it just enough if i set tight firewall-rules on both ends of wlan with IPsec, so no one could intrude into my system. Depends if you live around people or in the middle of nowhere. The latter is the case for me, so I don't worry about security. If all goes well, my next sted would be to include one windows-pc also.. and that would need firewall for local wlan-crackers but somehow i dont believe that as a minor threat :) It'd be fine, you just need proper firewalls, anti-virus, etc. Lasse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X11 6.9 issue -- options AGPMode and AGPFastWrite
hello list! i've just upgraded X11 from 6.8.2 to 6.9.0 and run into the following issue: after starting x11 for the first time the screen went black and console was inaccessible (i had to reboot). when i tried the generated xorg.conf (`Xorg -configure`) it worked. so i started comparing my old config file with the new one and found out that the following two options i had been using are the root of the problem: Option AGPMode 4 # ++ 2005-02-11 mato Option AGPFastWrite # ++ 2005-02-11 mato they just cannot be set both at the same time now. and i wonder why. and also i wonder which one to comment out and which one to keep (if any at all). note that i'm running freebsd 6.1-rc, after just reinstalling all my ports from scratch. for details on my graphics card pls see below. any thoughts or suggestions pls ?? cheers, martin -- $ grep -i radeon /var/log/Xorg.0.log (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd000/27, 0xff8f/16, I/O @ 0xc800/8, BIOS @ 0xff8c/17 (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP), ATI Radeon QE (AGP), ATI Radeon QF (AGP), ATI Radeon QG (AGP), ATI Radeon VE/7000 QY (AGP/PCI), ATI Radeon VE/7000 QZ (AGP/PCI), ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LZ (AGP), ATI Radeon IGP320 (A3) 4136, ATI Radeon IGP320M (U1) 4336, ATI Radeon IGP330/340/350 (A4) 4137, ATI Radeon IGP330M/340M/350M (U2) 4337, ATI Radeon 7000 IGP (A4+) 4237, ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 IGP 4437, ATI FireGL 8700/8800 QH (AGP), ATI Radeon 8500 QL (AGP), ATI Radeon 9100 QM (AGP), ATI Radeon 8500 AIW BB (AGP), ATI Radeon 8500 AIW BC (AGP), ATI Radeon 7500 QW (AGP/PCI), ATI Radeon 7500 QX (AGP/PCI), ATI Radeon 9000/PRO If (AGP/PCI), ATI Radeon 9000 Ig (AGP/PCI), ATI FireGL Mobility 9000 (M9) Ld (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lg (AGP), ATI Radeon 9100 IGP (A5) 5834, ATI Radeon Mobility 9100 IGP (U3) 5835, ATI Radeon 9100 PRO IGP 7834, ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 IGP 7835, ATI Radeon 9200PRO 5960 (AGP), ATI Radeon 9200 5961 (AGP), ATI Radeon 9200 5962 (AGP), ATI Radeon 9200SE 5964 (AGP), ATI FireMV 2200 (PCI), ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 (M9+) 5C61 (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 (M9+) 5C63 (AGP), ATI Radeon 9500 AD (AGP), ATI Radeon 9500 AE (AGP), ATI Radeon 9600TX AF (AGP), ATI FireGL Z1 AG (AGP), ATI Radeon 9700 Pro ND (AGP), ATI Radeon 9700/9500Pro NE (AGP), ATI Radeon 9700 NF (AGP), ATI FireGL X1 NG (AGP), ATI Radeon 9600 AP (AGP), ATI Radeon 9600SE AQ (AGP), ATI Radeon 9600XT AR (AGP), ATI Radeon 9600 AS (AGP), ATI FireGL T2 AT (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 (M10/M11) NP (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (M10) NQ (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (M11) NR (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (M10) NS (AGP), ATI FireGL Mobility T2e (M11) NV (AGP), ATI Radeon 9650, ATI Radeon 9800SE AH (AGP), ATI Radeon 9800 AI (AGP), ATI Radeon 9800 AJ (AGP), ATI FireGL X2 AK (AGP), ATI Radeon 9800PRO NH (AGP), ATI Radeon 9800 NI (AGP), ATI FireGL X2 NK (AGP), ATI Radeon 9800XT NJ (AGP), ATI Radeon X600 (RV380) 3E50 (PCIE), ATI Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) 3150 (PCIE), ATI FireGL M24 GL 3154 (PCIE), ATI Radeon X300 (RV370) 5B60 (PCIE), ATI Radeon X600 (RV370) 5B62 (PCIE), ATI Radeon Mobility M300 (M22) 5460 (PCIE), ATI FireGL M22 GL 5464 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 5A41 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5A42 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 5A61 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5A62 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 5954 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 5974 (PCIE), ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5975 (PCIE), ATI FireGL V5000 (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (M26) (PCIE), ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (M26) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X700 PRO (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X700 XT (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X700 (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X700 SE (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X700 SE (RV410) (PCIE), ATI Radeon X800 (R420) JH (AGP), ATI Radeon X800PRO (R420) JI (AGP), ATI Radeon X800SE (R420) JJ (AGP), ATI Radeon X800 (R420) JK (AGP), ATI Radeon X800 (R420) JL (AGP), ATI FireGL X3 (R420) JM (AGP), ATI Radeon Mobility 9800 (M18) JN (AGP), ATI Radeon X800XT (R420) JP (AGP), ATI Radeon X800 SE (R420) (AGP), ATI Radeon X800 (R423) UH (PCIE), ATI Radeon X800PRO (R423) UI (PCIE), ATI Radeon X800LE (R423) UJ (PCIE), ATI Radeon X800SE (R423) UK (PCIE), ATI Radeon X800XT (R423) 5D57 (PCIE), ATI FireGL V7100 (R423) (PCIE),

Re: ULE Scheduler and overall performance on 6.x - Wow
Jonathan Horne wrote: i remember when i first started using freebsd about 2 months ago, the first kernel i built, i did the ULE (at some articles recommendataion). but, ive not done it since. i guess i have been noticing a bit of lag on my system (amd 1800mhz 512rdram, u160 scsi raid0), but nothing unacceptable. however, since i didnt have a problem with my first kernel that i did, and your positive response, i decided to go ahead and change out the specified scheduler in my kernconf, and let 'er rip. is your system a desktop? were your prevously running the same desktop configuration on the same box, with the 4BSD? is the ULE scheduler suited for a server setup as well (my server is also SMP), or is this something that should be kept to a desktop? thanks, jonathan horne My system is a desktop and yes I was previously using the 4BSD scheduler. As for whether it is suited for a server environment I would say that depends. From what I understand it is an experimental scheduler meant to bring better performance to SMP machines but that UP machines may also show some improvement. If I was using this box as a server for mission critical applications there are a whole bunch of things I am doing now that I would not be doing. Before I would use any relatively new configuration on a production server I would have to do some reliability testing and benchmarking on a test machine that I had configured to test a particular harware/application mix. I would also be reading what other people had to say and I would first choose to use something that was known to generally work and for which issues were generally know and mostly understood. Also, go where the support is. :) This is basically a test box and a learning platform. There are way too many applications loaded on this machine and they are far too varied in nature for me to single out one aspect of my configuration and say whether or not it is suitable in a server configuration. In addition I wouldn't be able to say whether ULE is suitable for a server after testing it on hardware that is definitely not suitable as a server, in my opinion. I am willing to say that for desktop use the ULE scheduler --seems-- to work great. But do keep in mind Mr. Kennaway's comments per this thread. Of course the 4BSD scheduler works great so I wouldn't switch unless I had a reason to. --Duane On Sunday 07 May 2006 04:43, Duane Whitty wrote: Hi, I decided to give the ULE scheduler a try a while ago (April 28). when I last built 6-STABLE Anyhow it seems great.

I would expect a question like this is somewhere in the FAQ. It is typical that you only see a couple of hundred kilobytes of free memory on a (at least a little used) FreeBSD system. The system allocates 'physical' memory as needed (as long as there is some free) and only when there is no free memory, it starts to reuse some of the 'almost' free memory. 'Almost' free memory is mainly disk cache (your buffers). This is nothing to worry about. You can see there is a memory shortage when there is some swapping during normal workload (in top there appears kb in/out on the swap line). It is neither anything to worry about when you have some swap space used - FreeBSD is rather aggresively copying parts of memory to swap when it feels to. As long as it doesn't need to use the data in the swap often it's an optimization - even disk cache is better usage of your memory then inactive parts of your programs' memory.

This was my fault because earlier I wanted expat2, built it from the 'ports' collection tarball current (at that time) from ftp2.us.FreeBSD.org, and apparently broke the dependency for libexpat.so.5. Following the advice given to another user on freebsd-questions, I did pkgdb -F then portupgrade -a in order to fix the dependencies and get Xorg 6.9.0. Little did I know that it would take over a week to upgrade and rebuild 119 installed packages on my PII-200 SMP Proliant. Other than a couple of burps with boost-python and postgresql, the upgrade has kept chugging along. Today, I am almost to the end and the Mozilla build flaked out. No worries on that yet, but the script suggested doing pkgdb -F again and restarting portupgrade. I dutifully followed and when portupgrade restarted it tried to build bash31aborted with the following error which I do not understand. When the 'make bash31' stopped on error the first time I manually downloaded the whole bash31 file set again to /usr/ports/distfiles/bash from ftp4.us and re-ran portupgrade -a.

If you are still going to use portupgrade, then definitely run the pkgdb -afFuv. It will give you a better idea of what is happening. You might also consider running portsdb -Uu if you have the time. It couldn't hurt. If you decide to use portmanager, those last two steps are not required. Good luck!

I downloaded over them so I will take both suggestions and delete the whole mess and rebuild. The Handbook and The 'Complete' book are not too clear on the advantages of portupgrade over portmanager. Right now the build(upgrade) got to 'gimp-print' and is freaking out with: 'warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions' for every .c file in the package due to not hiding #pragma's from traditional C in the header files. Ho-Hum. Maybe a problem with autoconf and friends??? Soldiering on. Thank You for the help.

DRI and linux compat...
Hello, I'm trying to get a game running. The game in question is NeverWinterNights though I don't think the problem is related to the game specifically. The game does actually run. It is just that it is so unbelievably slow. It would appear as though I have no DRI within my linux-compat. DRI is working outside of linux-compat. I have been unable to find much on the web regarding this. Basically this is as far as I've gotten: [/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin] root# setenv LIBGL_DEBUG verbose [/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin] root# ./glxinfo libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 5.0.3 radeon (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so drmOpenByBusid: busid is pci::01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci::01:00.0 libGL error: DDX DRI driver expected Radeon version 4.0.x but got version 5.0.3 libGL error: InitDriver failed display: :0.0 screen:0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_hyperpipe, GLX_SGIX_swap_barrier, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig client glx vendor string: SGI client glx version string: 1.2 client glx extensions: I'm guessing the my linux libGL does not like my radeon driver's version? Any way to fool it? (Since I'd rather not downgrade my radeon driver.) I am running 6.1-Something as of yesterday. I have never had this game working. Just installed it today.

I would expect a question like this is somewhere in the FAQ. It is typical that you only see a couple of hundred kilobytes of free memory on a (at least a little used) FreeBSD system. The system allocates 'physical' memory as needed (as long as there is some free) and only when there is no free memory, it starts to reuse some of the 'almost' free memory. 'Almost' free memory is mainly disk cache (your buffers). This is nothing to worry about. You can see there is a memory shortage when there is some swapping during normal workload (in top there appears kb in/out on the swap line). It is neither anything to worry about when you have some swap space used - FreeBSD is rather aggresively copying parts of memory to swap when it feels to. As long as it doesn't need to use the data in the swap often it's an optimization - even disk cache is better usage of your memory then inactive parts of your programs' memory. Michal well, i guess my system's top confirms what you say: Swap: 4071M Total, 4071M Free and, i wasnt experiencing any lack in performance, i was just curious. but i admit that i must be forgiven for almost doubting! thanks again, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, foremost, **IANAE**, YMMV, #include disclaimer.h and so on. Really. This tangled mess of dependencies is exactly what the ports system was designed to solve.

In the event that you prefer to use pre-compiled packages (and it seems as if you have thus far), pass -P to portupgrade as well, and it will do its best to avoid compiling software during the upgrade process.

I'm wondering in which way I can know all the URLs of the sources to download it with a download manager an port it manually later on the installation progress. Might something like: portupgrade -NFR pkg_name do the trick? It will install a 'new' port (one not already on the system), fetch only, and grab dependencies as well. You say your not connected all the time. But you could run the above command (or something similar I would think) when connected and it would grab a distfile and place it in /usr/ports/distfiles for you. If you don't finish while connected just run the command next time you are, and it will pick up where it left off. HTH Thanks in advance...

Re: Can't build bash3.1 during portupgrade -a
Michael D. Norwick wrote: freebsd 6.1 RELEASE Compaq Proliant SMP PII-200 (smp modified kernel) Over a week ago I was trying to rebuild Xorg and ran into an issue with libexpat.so.5 not found for 'fc-cache'. This was my fault because earlier I wanted expat2, built it from the 'ports' collection tarball current (at that time) from ftp2.us.FreeBSD.org, and apparently broke the dependency for libexpat.so.5. Following the advice given to another user on freebsd-questions, I did pkgdb -F then portupgrade -a in order to fix the dependencies and get Xorg 6.9.0. Little did I know that it would take over a week to upgrade and rebuild 119 installed packages on my PII-200 SMP Proliant. Other than a couple of burps with boost-python and postgresql, the upgrade has kept chugging along. Today, I am almost to the end and the Mozilla build flaked out. No worries on that yet, but the script suggested doing pkgdb -F again and restarting portupgrade. I dutifully followed and when portupgrade restarted it tried to build bash31aborted with the following error which I do not understand. When the 'make bash31' stopped on error the first time I manually downloaded the whole bash31 file set again to /usr/ports/distfiles/bash from ftp4.us and re-ran portupgrade -a. It stopped again with the same error. What is happening here? = MD5 Checksum mismatch for bash/bash31-010. = SHA256 Checksum mismatch for bash/bash31-010. ...snip And then; = Attempting to fetch from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-3.1-patches//. fetch: bash31-010: local modification time does not match remote ...snip stop Michael Switch your ports cvsup server in your cvsup file, delete the patch file, re-cvsup, then try portupgrade again. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, Take a look at the 'ports' man page (man 7 ports). make fetch-recursive sounds like it should do the trick for you. -Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
resetting clock after power outage
Hello; I have a problem that I can't, so far find and answer to. How do you reset the system clock after a power outage has caused it to loose time? I have a machine that went down a month or so ago and since have noticed that the time stamp on such things as mail to the root account, and log entries is way behind what it should be. The system is FreeBSD v6.0 and does not have Xwindows installed on it. So I need to find out how to reset the clock from the command line. I thought I could do it with sysinstall but I don't see an option for actually setting the time, only the time zone. I presume that it is important, now, as I am running named on it as a master server and I believe it is important that it be in sync with the slave server running on another machine that was off at the time of the outage. I thought maybe the bios had something to do with it but haven't seen a way to reset the time in the bios either.

if you have ntp setup you may need to do a single ntpdate -b or ntpd -q to get the clock within a reasonable limit so ntpd can run properly man (8) ntpd man (8) ntpdate Murray Taylor Special Projects Engineer Bytecraft Systems P: +61 3 8710 2555 F: +61 3 8710 2599 D: +61 3 9238 4275 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
