seem to require the kernel module like Robert does, as the driver  
attaches and initializes when compiled right in.  The files to look

That is exactly what I did.

In my case, using 6.1 Xorg, the only automatic modes suppressed
were those whose resolutions matched one of the explicit modelines
(and this is consistent with my reading of the 6.1 xorg.conf(5)
manpage).  Perhaps this behavior is different than earlier releases.

The primary problem is that the highest-resolution automatic mode
(1280x960) does not work:  the (LCD) monitor displays a message
to the effect that the input sync frequency is out of range, and
goes into standby after about 20 seconds.

This bad mode is used as the initial mode since it has the highest
resolution, and there is no correct modeline that I can provide
to override it because the resolution exceeds the monitor's
capabilities; so the server always starts up in a non-working
mode.  I can get to a working mode with CtrlAltPlus, but then
the desktop (which was sized according to the initial, invalid,
resolution) is too big for the screen.

I suspect I may have run into an Xorg (or driver) bug -- the
probe did correctly identify the monitor as a Gateway FPD1530,
and this should have caused all resolutions exceeding 1024x768
to be discarded -- but how do I get around it?

Except, possibly, lines that begin at the first byte of the buffer, 
such as the first line of the file, and any other lines that happen to

Re: driver source compilation question

Re: "Hostile" vs. "Friendly" instances of Sendmail

I've been looking at an IPFW "limit" rule to do this. The only issue
here is that turning on "statefulness" in IPFW introduces extra
overhead, and the last time I tried a "limit" rule (admittedly, it
was in FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x), it didn't seem to work correctly.
Besides, I want to do more than set a connection limit.

>You could also configure an external and an internal mailservers,  

That's sort of the idea. But I'd do it on one machine. And the
advantage would be that I could have very different Sendmail 
options (not just connection limits) on the internal and external
server processes. For example, the external one could have REALLY 
heavy safeguards against spam.

I don't want to set up many queue groups and queue runners,
necessarily. I really just want two SMTP servers: inward-facing,
for outgoing mail, and outward-facing, for incoming mail. If
the messages dropped into a single queue for delivery, that 
would be OK; I just want the SMTP server that faces internal
clients to have different settings than the one that faces the
slime pit known as the Internet. ;-)

I don't. But the man page for ANY daemon should always include certain
basic things, such as a list of the command line arguments and options; 
information on how to get it to listen on a specific address, port, or
interface; and how it responds to signals. Other things can be in
other documentation, but these are essential in the man page for a
daemon, IMHO.

Thank you very much.  That was the problem but the text
of the error message threw me off.  I did not have w3m installed
but it all worked as soon as I did that.  I have lynx installed
and maybe some experimentation is in order to see if lynx would

Again, many thanks.  That will certainly save some

It looks like mha-mhedit tries to run the www/w3m browser to dump a
text-only version of the HTML document, and then quote this as the
original.  Do you have the w3m port installed?  If not, there is probably
an option to tell mha-mhedit to use another browser with similar
capabilities.

FWIW, I use a similar trick to let mutt(1) handle HTML-only messages posted
by Outlook users.  In my ~/.mailcap file I have (all in one line):

text/html ; /usr/local/bin/elinks \
-dump -dump-charset greek '%s' ; copiousoutput

Maybe mha-mhedit can use a similar trick?

csup of ports failing

[stan]

I just set up a new cvsup server. It has ginished it's inital update, and
the base system, crypto and doc all seem to work fine when I try to cvsup
from it. However, the ports cvsup keeps failing like this:

 Edit ports/emulators/qemu/Makefile
   Add delta 1.56 2006.08.25.21.16.20 miwi
   Detailer failed: Premature EOF from server
   Will retry at 20:38:47

This is repeatable on 2 client machines (one of which is the cvsup servr
itself).

Any sugestions?

When will KDE4 be in the ports tree?

[Steven Lake]

Just curious when to start expecting to see KDE4 in the ports tree for 
Freebsd.  From the reports I've been seeing, it's pretty close to being 
released soon.  So the curiosity bug bit me and I decided to ask here.  :)

6.1-RELEASE-amd64 portsnap fetch fails

[Charles Bacon]

8/25/06
I have tried to use portsnap; it seems like a good way to get my feet wet into
the world of incremental updates.

I don't know if there is an easier way, but I just copy the modelines

the "Monitor" section.


To address your second paragraph: in my case at least, including
explicit modelines suppresses the automatic modes. I only get the ones
explicitly listed. This has worked in both XFree86 and Xorg.

KDE Help index file missing

[doug]

If I try to build an help index for the application manual I get the following
error message:

   INDEXDIR: /home/doug/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/
   Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals'
   FINDCMD: find /usr/local/share/doc/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook

In checking the packing lists for kde there is no index.docbook in the

This comes from /usr/local/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl, lines 92-100

  my $findpath = "$kdeprefix/share/doc/HTML/$lang/";
  my $findcmd = "find $findpath -name index.docbook";

The setup looks okay and the file is really not there. Anyone else with this
problem. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the file? Thanks

a bit OT, but stumped

[Chris Knipe]

Hi,

Just a quick question - especially valid in regards to VPN (L2TP / PPTP).

I know this will depend solely on the NAS, but considering a normal *nix 
pppd process, and a windows based RAS client... Is it at all possible to get 
PPP to assign static routes to the CLIENT during the authentication process?


Let's say I have a DMZ with 10/8 and 20/8 used for addressing.  A client 
connects to a VPN server on a.b.c.d  Unless I tell the client to use the VPN 
as a Default Gateway, the client will not have routes to route 10/8 and 20/8 
over the VPN link... What needs to be done to tell Windows this?


Sure, I know I can always add these routes manually, but I'm trying to avoid 
it :)


Just a general q... Sorry for OT


Regards,
Chris.

That machine is -CURRENT, and was at the time of the hardware

automagically connect the card to the re driver; however, forcing
the loading of if_re.ko did the trick.

I use modelines that give 60Hz vertical sync because there is a
transformer sitting next to my monitor, and at 70Hz sync rate the
display wiggles at 10 Hz.

Has Anyone Else Tried mha-mhedit?

[Martin McCormick]

I use nmh and recently wanted to not have to manually
clean up all the garbage that gets in to the quoted text if you
quote a HTML message or one that has a lot of 8-bit junk like
Microsoft OUtlook messages do.

It looked like I needed  mhonarc so I installed the port with
no problem.  Each time I try to use mha-mhedit to reply to a
message full of mime and 8-bit characters, I get the following
error:

open2: exec of w3m -dump -cols 76 -T text/html failed at 
/usr/local/etc/mha-mhedit line 104

mha-mhedit is a perl script.  The results form a
blankrepl form that looks like:

Any constructive suggestions are much appreciated.

You gotta be more specific with what you do and what you have: Did you
update sources? when? have you tried to load the load modules? (should
be in /boot/kernel.old/). Version of X? updated? did it work before
updating?

It might be a passing error, try to update again and see if it has been
resolved. Things can also be related to xorg. Versions? updates?

I use i915/drm xorg loads the modules automatically, I don't even need
to think, it just works, from a fresh install of 6.1 and since then
regular updates - to solve other problems. I don't know about 3D
accelleration - I don't even know if it is enabled, but things look
good... and supposedly I can share memory to make use of RAM, I don't
know if I have that - really I don't care as long as things look good...

Cheers, Erik

After doing some digging, I've found that there was a patch applied to
RELENG_6, modifying the sk driver to ignore my revision of card, and
instructing the re driver to attach.  This is probably why it works for
Robert and not for me; he's probably running 6 , while I'm
still on 5 STABLE.

Applying the patch to these drivers myself is not a problem, but I'm just
wondering if this can / will / will ever be pushed into the RELENG_5
branch.  Does anyone know, or at the very least, who I should be talking
to?

Thanks.

my code does not handle multi-line comments at all. They may look

What's the best way to set things up so that more trusted, internal

outside world sees an instance of Sendmail with blacklisting,  
process limits, connection limits, load limits, etc.? Will there be  
problems with file locking, queues, etc. if a third instance of  
Sendmail is started on a standard FreeBSD install (which normally  
runs two)?


You should consider configuring a firewall to limit the number of  
incoming SMTP connections permitted to something less than the max  
number of sendmail processes you want to run in parallel, so internal  
users will always have some sendmail instances available to service  
their requests.


You could also configure an external and an internal mailservers,  
have the internal mailserver be entirely firewalled from outside so  
that internal users and internal email are handled there without  
issues, and just worry about tuning the external mailserver which  
will then only need to do SMTP relaying and anti-spam stuff for the  
external mail traffic rather than serve dual-duty as a reader box.


There is no issue with setting up as many additional queue groups and  
queue runners as you need to; there are some significant advantages  
to switching to deferred delivery mode and using queue groups tuned  
for legit internal mail and for mail that they exchange with well- 
known places like MSN or AOL and with their main clients.


And where's the option that tells Sendmail to listen only on a  
particular interface? (This should be on the man page, but isn't.)


The complete docs for sendmail don't really fit into even the 1044  
page O'Reilly book; surely you jest if you expect to find complete  
docs within the manpage.  Wander by /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/ 
README, and look for the DAEMON_OPTIONS() section or perhaps the  
confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES config options...

Mailgraph on free 6.1

[Aguiar Magalhaes]

Hi list,

My email server has postfix 2.2.10 + postgrey + amavis
+ uvscan + mailgraph 1.12

During the mailgraph instalation on debian exists the
question "Count incoming mail as outgoing mail?". So,
If we have integrated a content filter like amavisd
(for spam and virus scanning) into Postfix, then we
answer "No" to avoid that Mailgraph counts our emails
twice (because Postfix delivers emails to amavisd
which then - after successful scanning - delivers the
mails back to Postfix). 

On free how can i do it ??

Thanks,

Aguiar

That's the "Port" line in sshd_config.  From the manpage:

I915 3d acceleration - picture shifts

[vvp]

Hello!

I use FreeBSD 6.1 on HP nx6110 laptop. After fresh installation the drm module 
for i915 didn't work.
I've found a patch for i915 to make it work. After that 3d acceleration is 
works, but I've got another issue:when running KDE screensavers, picture is 
shifted up. That is probably not a drm driver issue as I saw similar thing on 
a SuSE linux box with i810 graphics chipset.
Have anyone ever seen a solution?

Yes, I guess, with some minor modifications. I don't do Sed, so I

They are different for a reason, I guess:

The first one matches lines that only have spaces (it fails
spectacularly with lines that have a mix of TAB vs. SPACE characters
though, unless you pre-expand TABs).

The second one only removes trailing SPACEs from a line.



Yes, you are correct.

However, the latter of those regexps should do the job of the former,
so Kyrre was also right.

I just play safe with regexps.

Yes, you can.
You should define smart host for your sendmail, if I understand your task
right.
The standartd way is to include

define(`SMART_HOST', `smart.host')

where smart.host is your mail server
into the .mc file in /etc/mail (by default), recompile .cf file with
new .mc source, and restart sendmail.

Then your sendmail will send all outgoing mail through smart.host.

You should also set up proper authentication data, if your mail server wants
you to authenticate youself.

Elisej Babenko

In your script, do these comments look alright then?

(I simplified them a bit)

inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?\n\{', ') {', inbuffer) # Move curly brackets

closing brackets and opening curly brackets
inbuffer = re.sub('else *?\n{', 'else {\n', inbuffer) # Fix curly

inbuffer = re.sub('{ *?(.+?\n)', '{\n\g<1>', inbuffer) # Break up the
content of curly brackets
inbuffer = re.sub('(\n.+?)}', '\g<1>\n}', inbuffer) # Take care of
closing brackets from the above rule


Looks OK, except...



inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # Strip trailing whitespace


This will strip spaces at the _beginning_ of line (leading spaces).



inbuffer = re.sub('\t+', '', inbuffer) # Strip trailing tabs


And this will strip _all_ tabs. This is important to remember. More of
that later...




And also, I noticed you put <'\n +', '\n', inbuffer> twice,
is one enough like in the above example?



Yes and no. I have used to do this operation in two steps. First,
before anything, I'll strip all leading spaces from every line of
code. Then I'll apply all other rules. And after everything else in
place, I'll strip all leading spaces _again_, because some of my rules
will produce spaces that will mess up the indentation process later.




After that, I can't wait to run it over the FreeBSD codebase and watch
the added value it gets. Then I can start selling the script to governments.
Just kidding :) But it would be nice to reverse engineer all those commercial
code parsers that hunt for bugs and create my own that I'll eventually
hook up with some artificial intelligence.



Well, it's good to have ambitious goals...

A word of warning. Above, I mentioned that it's important to remember
that my example will remove _all_ tabulator characters from text. This
means that - for example - all lines with indentation inside the code
comments will be messed up (remember, usually a tab character equals 8
spaces and I'm removing tabs all together). This leads me to my point:
my code does not handle multi-line comments at all. They may look
messed-up. A single curly bracket inside of a comment will throw the
indentation code out of sync. Also the code does not address line
breaks "\", so for example the macro definitions will not be indented
correctly. So, it will take some additional work to be able to run the
script without any side effects.

The script was meant to be run on a source code with poor style and
with no (or very few) comments.

If someone was to re-write a step by step guide for Sendmail on FreeBSD,
it would take far more than a single email response.

You should definitely start by reading, at least, the following:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sendmail.html

For available configuration options and the functionality they
implement, you can also look at: /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README

The Sendmail FAQ is also a valuable resource, and it is available online
at: http://www.sendmail.org/faq/index.html

In general, what you have as a goal is something that works like this:

  work
+--+  related+--+
|  |  messages   |  |
|   Sendmail   |  >  |  Company's Mail  |
|  | | Gateway  |
|   Running| |  |
| as   | +--+
|   a local|
| MTA  |
|  |  ==.
|  || other  +--+
+--+| messages   |  |
||   Mail Gateway   |
`=>  | of your  |
 | Internet |
 | Provider |
 |  |
 +--+

This is very easy to do in FreeBSD.  You just have to run `make' once in
the `/etc/mail' directory.  This will create two files, called:

HOSTNAME.mc
HOSTNAME.submit.mc

where `HOSTNAME' is your local host name.  You can configure Sendmail,
by following the instructions in the Handbook, the help in the README
file of the Sendmail macros, at `/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README', and
making configuration changes to `HOSTNAME.mc'.

You can direct all outgoing email from `localhost' to the mail gateway
of your ISP, by reading the comments in `/etc/mail/HOSTNAME.mc' and
enabling the `SMART_HOST' feature.

Extra bonus points, if you don't want company email to pass through the
MTA of your ISP, if you set up a `mailertable' entry to direct all
company-related email to the mail gateway of your company, you can use
the `mailertable' feature.  Note that some ISPs do not allow outgoing
connections to port 25 of any random host, so this may not be always
possible though.

Attached below are two descriptions of the steps I took to set up
Sendmail, from two of my older posts to the list.  See if these are of
any help too.

The second one describes the configuration I use on my workstation at
work, to do something similar to the "two-way output" (work email to the
email gateway of work, all the rest to the default mail gateway) which
is shown in the ASCII-diagram above.

I think that what you need is something similar to my setup at home,
where sendmail doesn't listen on any public interfaces:

$ sockstat | { read head ; echo "$head"; grep :25; }
USER COMMANDPID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
root sendmail   458   4  tcp4   127.0.0.1:25  *:*

Delivery of local messages is handled nicely by the "submit" daemon
that I run, and mail submitted by local programs into the clientmqueue
is pushed along by an msp_queue daemon:

$ ps xa | grep -v grep | grep sendmail
  458  ??  Ss 0:01.17 sendmail: accepting

Subject: A webhosting script?



Hello!

Does anybody run a webhosting business, where they've written
a simple Bash script to add new users to the system and set up their
domains, Apache virtual hosts, databases etc. all in one go?

I am looking for inspiration for my own script.

Thank you!

I truly wish to keep it real and avoid solutions like cPanel or
Webmin.

All the best,
Kyrre

Yes, of course :-)

This is what I usually do.

They are different for a reason, I guess:

The first one matches lines that only have spaces (it fails
spectacularly with lines that have a mix of TAB vs. SPACE characters
though, unless you pre-expand TABs).

The second one only removes trailing SPACEs from a line.

Which is very unfortunate, since none of the, so called, word "processors"
can get it right(TM).  Only TeX is a typesetting program that I have found
smart enough to deal with properly spacing sentences, without the need for
this doubled space character :-(

A lot of people still use non-proportional fonts; especially when reading
and/or writing program sources ;-)

You really hit the mark with typewriter habits vs. word processors though :)

There are many control panels that do these sort of things. Some are free, 
others are not.

Check WebMin, cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, H-Sphere, RAQdevil.and tons more.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF
form.  Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to
download the entire book.  See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ 
for more information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

[Greg Lehey]

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to

Re: rubygems in ports

[Philip Hallstrom]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while... what is the motivation for
including individual Ruby gems in ports?  It strikes me as unnecessary
duplication, as the gem tool works well on its own, even for gems with C
code.  Are there many gems with FreeBSD-specific extensions or dependencies?

And which is preferable - pure gems or ports+gems?


I was just wondering the same thing.  I don't think it hurts to have both 
though...  I would assume that the port version has been a little better 
tested to work with the rest of the ruby world as well as make sure it 
picks up any c extensions (mysql, gd gems for example that need external 
libs) automatically...


maybe?

Re: (no subject)

What that statement means is the network daemons will be running.  If you 
don't have a NIC in the box, they won;t do much.


Yes you can run dumb terminals if you want, but make sure if you use a 
mutliport serial card it is supported.  You may also need to enable the 
gettys to run on those ports.

Hi,

I have been reading on FreeBSD 6.1 with a view of installing in our 10

The book is: FreeBSD 6 Unleashed, by Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann (SAMS).

On Page 93: BSD VS SYS 5 RUN CONTROL , I quote

"There is no multiuser mode without network support (in FreeBSD 6.1)  as 
there is in SYS V  run levels". Is this correct? This would mean that I 
can not install FreeBSD in a small 10 user office without network support?


I have work with all versions of unix (ATT, SCO, AIX, SUN) etc and they 
all have multiuser mode without network support. It should be possible to 
get an Intel processor and 10 dumm terminals, hook them up by wire and 
you'd be in business. This is true for the unix I mentioned above. Is it 
also true for ANY version of BSD (free or otherwise)?


Thank you.

XML transformation and processing with Zope -- or something better suggestions welcome

[backyard]

I have a client who wishes to automate their order
processing system for their online business. presently
they download reports from their business frontend and
upload them manually to their shipper.

Both systems can use XML and a precursory look at the
document tags suggests a simple XSLT transform should
be able to translate the tags fairly simply.

I was thinking of using Zope to setup a server that
will get the orders from the website, transform them,
and then upload them to the shipper. I built Zope3
last night and went to bed...

In the morning I tried to build the zope-xml*
pluggins. However they start building python 2.3.5-1,
despite python 2.4.x that was built for zope3. I'm
fairly certain I can't have more then one version of
python but maybe I'm mistaken. I didn't want to deal
with it when I woke up so I stopped the builds.

Just wondering if anyone has any familiarity with
Zope, its pitfalls and merits, or if there is an
easier way to do what I described above. My client
doesn't care about keeping a local copy of the orders
but I want to for error control and checking purposes.
I was going to use xmlcatmgr for this purpose. I would
setup two catalogs one for raw and processed orders.
At this point I care more about keeping each order
processing unit if you will in its own little
compartment, perhaps a simple db by date would be more
in order with XML as the content.

any kind of pointers would be appreciated as this is
my first real task building a system that does
something real...

There's no comments in the code, because usually my scripts are
disposable. As I said, I do those case by case.

The code should be quite clear for most parts, but the bunch of
regexps at the beginning of the code do the following things:

inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # This strips all spaces
from the beginning of every line of code.

inbuffer = re.sub('\t+', '', inbuffer) # This does the same for tab 
characters.


inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?\n\{', ') {', inbuffer) # This moves all curly
braces where I want them to be, i.e. at the end of the line.

inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?{', ') {', inbuffer) # This removes all extra
spaces between the closing bracket ) and the opening curly bracket {.

inbuffer = re.sub('else *?\n{', 'else {\n', inbuffer) # This fixes
curly brackets in the else clauses.

inbuffer = re.sub('{ *?(.+?\n)', '{\n\g<1>', inbuffer) # Sometimes
there is code where curly brackets are all in the same line and the
contents of the brackets are between the brackets. This moves the
contents to new line.

inbuffer = re.sub('(\n.+?)}', '\g<1>\n}', inbuffer) # This takes care
of the closing bracket at the above case.

inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # This just cleans up all
spaces that may appear when arranging the code.

The rest of the script is just a simple indenting machine, which
indents the code using four spaces as a single level of indentation.
The indentation will be placed after every newline character and
indentation will be increased and decreased based on the occurrences
of curly brackets.

So, basically (and now I'm just trying to remember from top of my
head, it's been some time, I dealt with this particular source code)
the script will do the following steps with the code:

step 1) the original piece of code

int main()
{
   char *c = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

   print("hello, world");
   if (true)
   {
 printf("ok");
   }
   else
   {
   printf("umm...");
   }
}

step 2) stripping all indentation

int main()
{
char *c = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

print("hello, world");
if (true)
{
printf("ok");
}
else
{
printf("umm...");
}
}

step 3) applying the rest of the regexp rules and indenting with the for loop

int main() {
   char *c = {
   'a', 'b', 'c'
   };

   print("hello, world");
   if (true) {
   printf("ok");
   }
   else {
   printf("umm...");
   }
}

Hope this clears my script a little bit.

Very amazing man, I'm impressed by your enthusiasm for correctness.

In your script, do these comments look alright then?

(I simplified them a bit)

inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?\n\{', ') {', inbuffer) # Move curly brackets 
to the end of lines
inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?{', ') {', inbuffer) # Remove spaces between 
closing brackets and opening curly brackets
inbuffer = re.sub('else *?\n{', 'else {\n', inbuffer) # Fix curly 
brackets in `else' clauses
inbuffer = re.sub('{ *?(.+?\n)', '{\n\g<1>', inbuffer) # Break up the 
content of curly brackets
inbuffer = re.sub('(\n.+?)}', '\g<1>\n}', inbuffer) # Take care of 
closing brackets from the above rule

inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # Strip trailing whitespace
inbuffer = re.sub('\t+', '', inbuffer) # Strip trailing tabs

And also, I noticed you put <'\n +', '\n', inbuffer> twice,
is one enough like in the above example?

Thank you man, your script has taught me a lot already about Python.

I brought this case up at the OpenBSD mailinglist as well
and they pointed me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_Normal_Form

So now I have two more steps in my search for the perfect tools to 
beautify all my code:


01 Design a normal form for all my languages
02 Convert your script to Ruby

After that, I can't wait to run it over the FreeBSD codebase and watch
the added value it gets. Then I can start selling the script to governments.
Just kidding :) But it would be nice to reverse engineer all those commercial
code parsers that hunt for bugs and create my own that I'll eventually
hook up with some artificial intelligence.

Nice wording Matti :)

Indeed, we are seeking total control over multiple languages.

So yeah, we do it ourselves for simpler and faster solutions.

A webhosting script?

Does anybody run a webhosting business, where they've written
a simple Bash script to add new users to the system and set up their

I am looking for inspiration for my own script.

Thank you!

there are even more possibilities :

- 1 host, 1 "build-jail", 4 apache-jails
- 1 host, apache with virtual hosts

do you have different ip-addresses for those websites ?


No for different IP's. Each will share a common IP. Apache would do

Yes, we went back and forth with the supplier, cables, connections,

within a few months. We since replaced the Maxtor and Fitzy drives with 
a specific model Seagate which seems to survive.

Suggestions for Recovering from messed up upgrade

[Malcolm Fitzgerald]

When I upgraded from 5.x to 6 I messed things up. The first problem 
that I had was that I couldn't access localhost in my web browser. I 
made changes to many config files as I followed suggestions. Now it is 
worse, the NIC is disabled at startup, so I have to pop into KDE 
control center and enable it if I want to access the net.


Everything else works nicely.

What is the easiest way for me to start with a clean slate?

No doubt :)

There's no comments in the code, because usually my scripts are
disposable. As I said, I do those case by case.

The code should be quite clear for most parts, but the bunch of
regexps at the beginning of the code do the following things:

inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # This strips all spaces
from the beginning of every line of code.

inbuffer = re.sub('\t+', '', inbuffer) # This does the same for tab characters.

inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?\n\{', ') {', inbuffer) # This moves all curly
braces where I want them to be, i.e. at the end of the line.

inbuffer = re.sub('\) *?{', ') {', inbuffer) # This removes all extra
spaces between the closing bracket ) and the opening curly bracket {.

inbuffer = re.sub('else *?\n{', 'else {\n', inbuffer) # This fixes
curly brackets in the else clauses.

inbuffer = re.sub('{ *?(.+?\n)', '{\n\g<1>', inbuffer) # Sometimes
there is code where curly brackets are all in the same line and the
contents of the brackets are between the brackets. This moves the
contents to new line.

inbuffer = re.sub('(\n.+?)}', '\g<1>\n}', inbuffer) # This takes care
of the closing bracket at the above case.

inbuffer = re.sub('\n +', '\n', inbuffer) # This just cleans up all
spaces that may appear when arranging the code.

The rest of the script is just a simple indenting machine, which
indents the code using four spaces as a single level of indentation.
The indentation will be placed after every newline character and
indentation will be increased and decreased based on the occurrences
of curly brackets.

So, basically (and now I'm just trying to remember from top of my
head, it's been some time, I dealt with this particular source code)
the script will do the following steps with the code:

step 1) the original piece of code

int main()
{
   char *c = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

   print("hello, world");
   if (true)
   {
 printf("ok");
   }
   else
   {
   printf("umm...");
   }
}

step 2) stripping all indentation

int main()
{
char *c = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

print("hello, world");
if (true)
{
printf("ok");
}
else
{
printf("umm...");
}
}

step 3) applying the rest of the regexp rules and indenting with the for loop

int main() {
   char *c = {
   'a', 'b', 'c'
   };

   print("hello, world");
   if (true) {
   printf("ok");
   }
   else {
   printf("umm...");
   }
}

Hope this clears my script a little bit.

Re: Hardware Recomendation

[Shane Ambler]

The hardware requirements for the web server can be quite low, you can run a
pretty busy website from on old PIII.

Some more info would be needed to predict the sort of needs you may expect
for your database. Will it be a forum (such as phpBB) or a banner exchange?

Is this to replace an existing server (with a known amount of traffic) or a
new setup for a new site?
 
What size database do you expect? (you may have 2-5K per record and
anticipate 100 records a day or you may have 2GB of data that you want to
share)

Is reliable (RAID) storage a necessity? Or will you have automated backups
to another machine that would be sufficient to restore when needed?

Is this an internal database for 10 users or a busy website that you hope to
have 1000 users accessing at the same time?

Some indication of the amount of data that would be read/written to the
database and how many users will access it can help give an idea of  what
would be needed to keep up with the traffic.

A good plan is to have some idea of a budget and necessary components (such
as raid) and go with the fastest CPU you can get with what's left.
You may have something faster than you need now but will be adequate in 3
months time.

phones with USB and TAPI

[Matthias Apitz]

Hi,

When I am in my office I have next to my laptop a phone device
of German Telekom, type T-Octophon. This comes with an USB
connector and some TAPI software to integrate it in the Windows
crap. Plugging it in into my 6.0-REL it says:

Aug 25 14:00:12 rebelion kernel: ugen1: Deutsche Telekom AG T-Octophon F, rev 
2.00/1.09, addr 2

and a usbdevs shows the device as:

 port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, T-Octophon F(0x001f), 
Deutsche Telekom AG(0x0681), rev 1.09

Of course it gets attached to 'ugen' because there is no driver
claiming the device. Does anyone know of support for this in
FreeBSD? It would be nice to dial directly from the command line
or even from the browser where you see some number to call.

Thx

panic: driver error: busdma dflt_lock called

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could explain this error message, and where I 
should look for a resolution.


I installed FreeBSD 6.1, configured my NIC, and was using it for a 
couple days without problems.  Now, even after a fresh install, I keep 
getting this error.  The only resolution I've found is to login in 
Single-User Mode, run fsck, and mount -a.  Unfortunately, this 'fix' is 
temporary as the problem occurs again with a reboot.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thank-you.

Back in the Jurassic era, when typewriters still roamed the earth, it was a 
convention to leave a double-space following a period so that the reader 
could more easily distinguish the end of a sentence. With the advent of word 
processors (and proportional fonts) this double-spacing convention lapsed.

My guess is that the code for SSH was written by someone who learned to type 
on a typewriter, or was taught by someone who learned to type that way.

How to change kernel version tag?

[Yuan, Jue]

Hi all.

Could I change the kernel version tag manually? say, I have a kernel which is 
7.0-CUREENT, but for some reasons I wanna it be something like 6.1-RELEASE, 
while the kernel itself does't change from 7.0-CURRENT to 6.1-RELEASE. All I 
want is the change of tag. For example, if this works, then when I 
type "uname -a" in console, I would get "6.1-RELEASE ..." instead 
of "7.0-CURRENT ...".

I guess some config files in src/sys/ could take care of this. But I cannot 
find it out. Anybody knows how to get this job done?

Any ideas are really appreciated. :-)

Thanks for the info. :-)

I need a kernel with mfsroot embedded in it so that I could have the ability 
to install FreeBSD after booting from that kernel.

The vim port compiles both vim and gvim. Gvim is the graphical version 
of vim, for use with x. It has ogot some menues and stuff... vim-lite is 
only the cli-part of vim.

TCL/Perl/Python scripting, "devel/cscope" support, I18N features
and GUI are missing in "vim-lite".

there are even more possibilities :
- 1 host, 1 jail, apache with virtual hosts
- 1 host, 1 "build-jail", 4 apache-jails
- 1 host, apache with virtual hosts

do you have different ip-addresses for those websites ?

Hello!

I am just wondering why it says:

 "The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved."

when I log in locally, but:

 "The Regents of the University of California.  All rights reserved."

when I log in via SSH? The difference for you with untrained eyes is the
double spacing after the dot instead of the standard single spacing.

I was just curious if there's a reason to this or not.

Thanks,
Kyrre

Re: apache & Jails

[Ivailo Tanusheff]

Yes, it's better to have 4 jails for each system with their own apache, 
php and mysql.
You can also install the same in the base system and then create on the 
base system packages for all updates needed by ports installed on the 
jails and just update with those packages.

apache & Jails






I want to build a FreeBSD webserver to replace a M$ IIS web server.
I've started researching using Jails but am a little confused.

Given I am hosting four(4) websites, would I have four separate jails.
each jail having a separate install of apache + php + mysql ?

or would I be installing apache + php + mysql at the base system, and
then have four separate jails for each web site and database files ??

Thanks
