Future development of xorg port

If you want to know about ports subscribe to the ports list or check the archive for that list. The particular question you ask seems to be addressed in a very recent discussion subject Ports tree : Xorg-7.2 release freeze, ETA? Now for xorg 7.2 the major change is that it has been modularized which I suppose means that you won't see such monster upgrades in the future - for that port.

Some of these are also answered in various online publications that I don't have time to look up for you right now, but you can easily find them. Onlamp is one that has covered FreeBSD features and comparisons with several OSen. Google is your friend. - Do the FBSD developers work for free? Generally yes. They are not paid by the FreeBSD foundation although some of them are fortunate enough to work for companies who view their contributions to FreeBSD as relevant to their company work and so allow them to consider the portion of their time spent on FreeBSD as part of their company work. - What advanced features it has that for example Windows, or MacOS dont have? It is reliable. MAC can claim that to a great extent too. MS cannot. It is relatively secure. Networking is fundamental in FreeBSD and a crowbar-ed addon in MS so it is inherently better in networking. It is truly multitasking and MS is not. There are many others. - What well knows companies use FreeBSD as servers? (I know that Hotmails used fbsd servers like 5 years ago). Last I knew Yahoo was using FreeBSD. THere are others. Many companies use FreeBSD for their network and backend service even when they have MS on people's desktops.

I have looked at /var/log/messages, and there is nothing right before the reboot of the system. Is that proof this is a hardware and not a software issue? Is there any other log file or diagnostic that might confirm my suspicions? I'd rather not reset the heatsink, etc., if the problem is really something else :) Thanks in advance guys!

kill won't kill
Hi,
I'm running a python script which has stopped responding. Killing off
the process doesn't work:
# ps -ax | grep nzb | grep -v grep
48426 p1 TLs 136:51.62 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/hellanzb.py
# kill -SIGKILL 48426
# ps -ax | grep nzb | grep -v grep
48426 p1 TLs 136:51.62 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/hellanzb.py
The only tip I could find seems to reference the 'wait for lock' flag
('L' in ps output). A lock could come from samba but restarting the
daemon doesn't solve the problem.
Anyone any idea's?
Greetings,
Remko

Typically unkillable processes are the result of hanging on some file or
device that's waiting on kernel services which never return.
Using ``lsof -p pid'' to see that the process is using at may give a hint
as to what it's hanging on.
On Linux systems I frequently use ``strace -p pid'' to see what a process
is doing. I don't know the FreeBSD equivalent of strace.

Question about ps display
I'm trying to figure out why courier imap ssl refuses to display the status of the process. I've tried adding both check_pidfile and check_process to the startup script, but neither works.

Even though courierlogger (the parent process) is located in /usr/local/sbin/courierlogger, ps displays it like this: 21842 p2 S 0:00.00 [courierlogger] Why does ps display the process like this instead of displaying the full path?

Check to make sure that /usr/local (i.e. ${LOCALBASE} = /usr/local) is

And, Mac OS X uses a non-BSD kernel, but most of the userland programs were taken from FreeBSD 4.X. some time back. The GUI stuff is original Apple, I believe The real issue, though, is that FreeBSD is about as modern a Unix[like] as you can get, and Windows and Unix like aren't apples and apples. With a BSD you get historically sound, useful software, along with other stuff. With other systems, you get sexy GUI apps that do some stuff, but doesn't jive with most of the UNIX paradigm, and, really, was mostly developed for reasons no one knows anymore and marketed in order that some executive could buy another house in Tuscany or on the Riviera.

I think the majority of developers have FreeBSD involved in some manner in their jobs, and a lot of times they need something put into it, or they need a tool to run on it. Not that their job description specifically lists working on the FreeBSD system but that they are given a lot of leeway as to how they come up with solutions to their employers problems. If I was, for example, an employer paying a developer a salary to write code to keep my business running, I would expect that whatever OS he preferred to use to run the programs he's writing for me, he would have source for it. Microsoft in fact has a specific program for developers to be able to access Windows source. Furthermore, I would also expect that if my developer ran into a problem that was due to a bug in the OS source, that he would have a channel to get this corrected. If it was a Windows platform, I would certainly inform my MS sales rep that continued payment and purchase of MS os licenses was absolutely contingent on them taking bug corrections from my employee that needed fixing in their code, bugs that were preventing my developer from building software that I needed. At least, that is what I think/hope/sincerely want to believe :-) - What advanced features it has that for example Windows, or MacOS dont have? Windows, even the server versions of Windows, are fundamentally desktop software operating systems that are at times pressed into being servers. FreeBSD and the other UNIXES are fundamentally server operating systems that are at times pressed into being desktops. Remember, UNIX came out of the multiuser environment, where you had a lot of people connected via dumb ASCII terminals to a single mainframe. From the beginning, concepts like reentrant code, and separation of user authority, have been ingrained in it. Consider for example the extreme difficulty that Microsoft has had with the simple concept of a superuser. A superuser is, as you may know, a userID on the system that has authority to do anything, change anything, and that the normal security mechanisms do not apply to. Under UNIX this is the root user ID. Well, with Windows, in the Win 3.1/win95/win98/winME series, anyone who booted the Windows system was automatically the superuser. This causes a lot of problems as you might imagine with programs, as if a program has a bug or goes out of control somehow, since the user it is running under has no security, the program can destroy anything on the system. With UNIX, normally, programs are not run under the superuser ID, they are run under a normal user ID. Thus programs cannot normally damage the system. Microsoft observed the value of this paradigm and so put it into Windows NT - although, under NT, they called the superuser the administrative user most likely, because they didn't want anyone to realize they were just copying how UNIX does things. But, administrator under Windows, and root under UNIX are essentially the same thing. The problem, though, is that because the concept of the superuser ID was grafted onto Windows, if you setup Windows so that when it boots, a person logs into it as a regular user, they have a lot of problems. They cannot install software, they cannot run a lot of different network software, they cannot make changes in simple things like the screen resolution, and so on.

This I think is one of the best illustrations of the different approaches of Windows and UNIX. With a server, since a lot of people are affected if an errant program crashes it, the security is never disabled by default, and the installer must deliberately choose to do it. With a desktop, nobody is really affected if it crashes except for 1 person, so since usability is more important than security, by default this is why security in Windows Vista is subverted this way, out of the box. There are a very great many people out there walking around who have setup Windows systems as servers, and not understood this, and as a result, caused their company to lose hundreds if not thousands of dollars of time and labor due to the Windows server crashing as a result of a virus knocking it down. A virus, I will say, that IF the Windows security had been properly enabled, would NOT have been able to take the Windows server down. Ted Not to change this to Windows vs Unix thread. But I think they are two different ball games. I work with both servers and have seen advantages/disadvantages in both security and non-security related. The SYSTEM user is considered to be the superuser on Windows. This is why many malicious codes that exploit a high risk vulnerability in OS automatically grant their application a service or run it as a system process. On the other hand, Windows has the ability to change the administrator user or completely disable it. Something not available in Unix systems. For example, a cracker or hacker targeting UNIX system will automatically try to compromise the root user. It is 100% guaranteed to be there. On the other hand in Windows, good sys

Thanks. I'm certainly not an expert, but Google your error message, and you will find that you need to work some magic with your kernal to access a fat32 partition bigger than 128GB.

PPPoE equivalent?
Greetings all, I regularly find my computer is bumped off the net - on the Windows OS I see a regular notification of re-connection. On My linux box I need to 'sudo pppoeconf' to reconnect. The FreeBSD handbook deals rather scantily with PPPoE, and I can find nothing much on googling. Any ideas how best to a) prevent being kicked off and b) reconnecting. At the moment I simply do 'sudo ppp -ddial internet' to be reassigned and all works well ... for a while. The best response is to leave FreeBSD and connect on re-entry into the OS. There has to be a better way. Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you checked the ppp FAQ? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ppp.html What does 'regularly' mean? Any special circumstances (for example, a heavy load)? Please send your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, the relevant portion of /etc/rc.conf (cat /etc/rc.conf | grep ppp) and some logs (see ppp(8) how to enable it).

On the other hand in Windows, good sys admins will rename or complete disable the administrator user hence making it more difficult to know the administrator user. Actually . . . technically, root users can be renamed and can, in many ways, be disabled. They can certainly be made inaccessible remotely. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] W.

I'm not sure there is, I've had a similar problem like this before, and I got around it by writing a simple script that would try and ping a local site 4 times, and if no responses got back it would killall ppp and delete the default routes and tell ppp to reconnect. It worked quite well when put into cron to run at 1 minute intervals. You could also try Roaring penguin PPPoE and see if you have any success with that.
