Re: Shared IMAP folder (off)
There's some directions at http://www.flatmtn.com/computer/Linux-Imap-UW.html (found by googling uw imap shared folders) but I'm not sure I follow them. It looks like it's just setting up another IMAP account that happens to be shared I use cyrus-imap, and it seems to have fairly straight-forward support for shared/public folders from what little I've played with them. Okay, I think you are right. I should switch to cyrus-imapd. But there is a big difference between the two. Here is what the package description says: A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on sealed servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. I already have some users with many e-mails (created with uw-imap). How can I migrate between the two? I believe that I'm offtopic here. :-( Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Alt Gr key troubles in FreeBSD
Hi I was afraid you wouldn't understand how the problem works. The chacters work on this computer, or i wouldn't be able to work daily with it, but at times they just get stuck and refuse to work temporarily until i let go of the alt gr key and try again. At rare times i can let go of the alt gr key to try again but they wont work until after two or three attempts. I doubt this is happening at random so i would like to say it happens when i type fast and change key combinations fast but sometimes it happens when i type slower to. I think it has something to do with me using shift just before i switch over and use alt gr, i think i'm simply switching over too fast. Actually, now that i said that, i just tried it in the thunderbird application where i'm writing this e-mail and i was able to reproduce the problem by typing a bunch of uppercase characters holding the shift key down and then directly trying to type [ using alt gr+8 on my keyboard. What happened was i got no character output for the [ character and after holding it for a while i heard a beep, then i let go of alt gr and 8 was output. It's probably because shift+8 is supposed to produce the ( character while alt gr+8 produces the [ character so there's some kinda conflict when i don't let go of shift fast enough. My theory is that i was so used to Windows after years of using it that this happened to me a lot. I also suspect that the Windows driver that handles this is more developed in the sense that you can hit shift+alt gr+8 but if those keys have no kombination in that order it simply takes the last keys which had a combination and uses them, alt gr+8 that is. I'm just guessing of course.

FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE fails to reboot system
I just built a new server based on a Celeron 2.53Ghz with EM64T extensions on an ASUS P5S800 motherboard and 256 DDR ram and install FreeBSD-6.1 using the amd64 version. Everything is running fine, but when I tell the system to reboot, it just hangs with the line Rebooting... Both halt and power off commands work as expected. Disabling ACPI did not change anything. This system is also running with a serial console, but the reboot problems happened even at the end of the installer. I had to hit reboot after the installer exited, but the filesystems came back clean everytime so they had been synced properly. -- Loren M.

DWL-650 Revision M
Hello All, If someone could help me out that would be great. I currently own a wireless card Dlink (DWL-650 Revision M) and I am not able to get FreeBSD 6.1 to load the wi driver. I perused the wi man pages and found that the D-Link DWL-650 is on the list of supported cards. I question whether or not this includes all revisions of the DWL-650. Can someone please confirm that the DWL-650 Revision M is or is NOT supported? Maybe I need to purchase a new wireless card that will be supported. Is this perhaps the best way to go at the point?

termcap problems

I don't think it's a permissions problem since both termcap and termcap.db are readable to all users (- r--r--r--). I rebuilt the termcap.db file (in /usr/share/misc/ termcap) by running cap_mkdb termcap, but this didn't fix the terminal. I also tried rebuilding and reinstalling the termcap source from /usr/ src/share/termcap, but I am still getting this error, and it's making my box pretty unusable. Any thoughts?

Re: Re[2]: Mounting a drive
Keep in mind here without special device drivers (I've heard they exist but have never installed any of them) you will not be able to mount a Linux (linux uses several different file systems) partition under Windows XP. Disk Manager will allow an NTFS filesystem directory mount an arbritrary Volume (a file system windows supports, fat, fat32, ntfs, maybe hpfs) on your system to overcome the DOS (it is not a Windows limitation, Microsoft is still running a 16 bit world) limitation of 26 drives, 24 of which can be harddrives. Mounting isn't really a function of the filesystem (maybe in Linux it is???) but of the vnode system. It allows a device (any specially configured file) with a known structure to be referenced within the context of a root directory structure, superceding (non-destructively...) whatever was in the mounted directory prior to the mount. In other words it lets the partition (I'll keep the spcial files simple) be seen on a filesystem to people with the appropriate credentials, and by mounting say /foo with say the special file /dev/da0s1a anything in /foo will no longer be seen by the vnode system and instead anything on /dev/da0s1a will be displayed in it's place. It would seem that unless you are installing Linux on an Fat32 filesystem those partitions would be useless within windows. You wouldn't be able to even edit configuration files with Windows (the editors that come with windows) editors because they will add line feed (maybe it is carridge returns I always mess this one up) to the text and Linux won't like that. Any further help with Linux should be in another mailling list, but if you want to put FreeBSD on one of those memory sticks I'm sure we would try to help... Windows is just about useless, it doesn't even support the now 5 year old or so 64-bit processors...

We recently switched from POP3 Outlook Express to IMAP using IMAP-UW Thunderbird. Personally I have had no issues with IMAP-UW, but the users in our office have had issues with the mbox format itself. Specifically they cannot store messages subfolders within a folder (referring to the Thunderbird definition of a folder). In mbox, since a given folder is not a directory, but a file, you cannot place a subfolder within that file. Outlook Express' POP3 implementation did not have this behavior. Right or wrong, my users have requested that I attempt to restore this functionality in IMAP. Am I correct in assuming that if I switch to a mdir format server, it will operate in the manner they are requesting? My next question is in regards to scalability, not so much in the way of users, but in the amount of mail they store. Currently we have about 20 email accounts, and for the most part the users keep their email to a reasonable amount. However I do have 5 users that insist they save everything, and do not clean out their InBoxes. Currently they retain email going back 5 years, and have mail folders in excess of a couple of gigs apiece. Since one of these people is the owner, I have little chance of changing this policy. However they are asking that I attempt to increase the response time of the IMAP server, which can be somewhat slow for them - especially through SquirrelMail. Would the mdir format help in this situation as well? Last question, how difficult is it to back up the mdir format? Currently I cron a tar job, nightly, to backup the mboxes to another server to allow for tape backups (the tape unit on the server in question doesn't want to play nice with FreeBSD), and have had no difficulty in accomplishing this. Can I accomplish the same style of backups when moving to mdir? I'm in the middle of setting up a server to try out various IMAP servers to test which would provide the best response for our specific needs (low number of users - high volume of saved email), and would appreciate any opinions on the matter as it would probably save considerable time picking the right software to begin with.

On my video hardware, mode 346 is: 346 (0x15a) 0x000f G 1600x1200x32 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0x8800 8000k That gives me a 1600x1200 raster display using an 8x14 font, for a console size of 85 rows and 200 columns. You can experiment with different modes (and font sizes) until you find a combination that a) works and b) you like. Use vidcontrol from the command line to experiment before modifying rc.conf, so you can switch to another virtual terminal if you switch to an unsupported mode.

I perused the wi man pages and found I believe this is the WiFi card I have. The SuperMMimo or whatever extension 108Mbps throughput and all that good stuff... Use the Windows XP driver file and inf and use the NDIS emulation driver builder to generate a kernel module for that card. I know this makes the driver, I have not verified that I can connect yet with it, but I have heard this is the best way to do it. I know it tells me a file is missing /compat/ndis/Reg?? something or other. I have not looked into the man pages for this file but I would have to guess it is just a registry layer for tweaking the driver. However the module loads without errors and ifconfig says the device is detected, and all the lights on the card start blinking. I just have a nasty WPA key that I've been too lazy to copy from my Windows partition to verify that everything is indeed working (and I refuse to leave my connection insecure even for a second or three.) Also haven't had time to address the missing Registry compat file. This assumes your are using Rel_6 (which you are, if one can read one has a fortune...) I know there is a nice simple script file that does all the work for you, the name just escapes me but the ndis manpage is a great place to start. good luck -brian I knew I was forgetting something... the .INF file has some anomalies in it that will make the script file not make a kernel module out of the box. There is a line which the script will spit out for you that won't compile correctly. This line has something to do with switching the credentials of an unkown user to that of an administerator user or some such thing along those lines. This line has to be commented out of the INF file for everything to work correctly. I do not think this line effects the driver but nobody becoming root is something FreeBSD doesn't seem to like and justifiably so...

We recently switched from POP3 Outlook Express to IMAP using IMAP-UW Thunderbird. Personally I have had no issues with IMAP-UW, but the users in our office have had issues with the mbox format itself. Specifically they cannot store messages subfolders within a folder (referring to the Thunderbird definition of a folder). In mbox, since a given folder is not a directory, but a file, you cannot place a subfolder within that file. Outlook Express' POP3 implementation did not have this behavior. Right or wrong, my users have requested that I attempt to restore this functionality in IMAP. Am I correct in assuming that if I switch to a mdir format server, it will operate in the manner they are requesting? I do this with Thunderbird and Dovecot using maildir for IMAP users. My next question is in regards to scalability, not so much in the way of users, but in the amount of mail they store. Currently we have about 20 email accounts, and for the most part the users keep their email to a reasonable amount. However I do have 5 users that insist they save everything, and do not clean out their InBoxes. Currently they retain email going back 5 years, and have mail folders in excess of a couple of gigs apiece. Since one of these people is the owner, I have little chance of changing this policy. However they are asking that I attempt to increase the response time of the IMAP server, which can be somewhat slow for them - especially through SquirrelMail. Would the mdir format help in this situation as well? I saw a dramatic improvement in speed with both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail after switching from mbox to maildir. Last question, how difficult is it to back up the mdir format? Currently I cron a tar job, nightly, to backup the mboxes to another server to allow for tape backups (the tape unit on the server in question doesn't want to play nice with FreeBSD), and have had no difficulty in accomplishing this. Can I accomplish the same style of backups when moving to mdir? I rsync both mbox and maildir message stores with no problem. Tar should copy your maildir folders with no problem. You might be slightly surprised when you realize each message is a separate file with maildir. I'm in the middle of setting up a server to try out various IMAP servers to test which would provide the best response for our specific needs (low number of users - high volume of saved email), and would appreciate any opinions on the matter as it would probably save considerable time picking the right software to begin with. Dovecot was simple to install (from ports), has sensible defaults, lets me seamlessly support POP and IMAP users (about 100), with inboxes (/var/mail/username) still in mbox format, but all other folders in maildir format for IMAP users. Dovecot's developer, Timo Sirainen, is active and extremely helpful on the mailing list.

It did bomb once, about 4 hours into the compile, and demanded I do a kldload linprocfs, followed by a mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc, claiming it needed a proc fs to compile. I assume this was needed for the compile-time, and not for the run-time??? Anyway, java now works in all browsers. My next task here is to upgrade another workstation to freebsd. The woman I live with wants to dump her Linux, and have what I have as well :-) My question: I will be installing her machine mainly from pre-compiled packages, as it is not a dual-processor fast box like mine is. Java, and other packages are not available in pre-compiled form. Since I already compiled Java, is there a way to produce a binary-install on my machine, and install it on her machine? Simply tar up the dir perhaps? We have limited bandwidth (DSL) and so it would make sense to do a basic install for her over the net, and then do the rest of the install locally from stuff I compiled. Not everything, just BIG stuff like Java, KDE, Gnome the browsers TIA Bob There is a binary of Java at http://www.freebsd.org/java/, but I haven't tried it. Otherwise doing a 'make package' after the port has been installed will create a package for you. You should then be able to install the package on the other machine using pkg_add.

Re: IMAP server alternatives
It seems that dovecot wins the votes - but does it support virtual domains?
I think it does not, but I do not need it. I can use postfix and
mydestination, virtual_maps. This is enough for me.
Any tips on migration?
Yes, it looks easy. I created these namespaces in dovecot.conf:
namespace private {
separator = /
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
prefix = #mbox/
location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = oldsystem/
location = mbox:/home/%u
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
}
The first one allows the old mbox format inbox to be used from
/var/mail/username. (I could have recompiled procmail in order to
deliver to maildir...)
The second one allow the users to view their old mbox style folders.
They can move the messages to the new maildir format, if they wish.
(Drag and drop in thunderbird...) Later I can delete the old mbox folders.
The third one is the default namespace (without name) and it has the new
maildir format.
Best,
Laszlo

How did you handle the transition from mbox to maildir? -jav For my POP users, I didn't. I leave everyone's 'inbox' in /var/mail in mbox format. If a user connects via IMAP (Squirrelmail, etc.), folders in /home/%u are created and stored in maildir format, but their inbox stays in /var/mail in mbox format. See Multiple Mailbox Locations: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces Dovecot also comes with convert-tool. For the users who had mbox files in their home directory, I used it to convert those to maildir format. I don't think the port installs convert-tool; I got it by doing 'make' in the dovecot port directory and manually copied it from there.

Just running portupgrade tcl should be all you need to do. Whether
or not it will fix the problem you're describing I'm not sure but give
it a try.
I'm running a portupgrade tcl right now (without the -rR options) but I get
the same output back :

So removing the recursive/upward-recursive options doesn't seem to be doing
any good. Btw, until now I've always upgraded my ports with the -rR options
without any problems.

The dovecot is currently just for testing and the courier is in production (for the last 4 years or more). We store the domain as part of the user name in a custom ldap database and courier and dovecot have no issues interfacing with it with the proper config.

Re: Producing a binary install
Otherwise doing a 'make package' after the port has been installed will
create a package for you. You should then be able to install the package
on the other machine using pkg_add.
HTH,
Micah
If you've already done make clean... you're going to end up rebuilding if you
use make package. Since that's not what you're looking to do, use pkg_create
instead.
pkg_create -b jdk-1.5.0p3_1
Obviously, replace with the package name in your system. By default, the
package will be created in the directory you are in when you run the command.
I maintain a computer for my step-mother and, since I want to avoid actually
building on her computer as much as possible, I use the following script to
package every binary on my system and then I can just copy them over to her
computer (or setup my computer so pkg_add can get them over the internet) and
use them to install.
#!/bin/tcsh
foreach file ( `pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'` )
echo Creating package for $file
pkg_create -b $file
end
This script is not smart... it doesn't check to see if a package of the same
name already exists -- which it should... hmm, I'm going to add that to
mine... to save time if you run it frequently, and just build packages you
need.
Anyway, pkg_create is very useful in saving time when you maintain a bunch of
computers and want to keep them all up to date and only want to commit one to
building and testing.
