Hi list,

I have server running postfix + courier-imap, and I'm looking for 
someway to add possibility to exchange calendars/contacts/meeting

Can someone recommend calendar, that is compatible with windows

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please CC me on reply as I'm not subscribed to -questions.


Hello Cheffo,
I wanted to do what you asked and after a lot of research I was able to 
achieve this by installing on the FreeBSD server openldap for the email 
addresses and a WEBDAV folder in Apache for the calendar.
My setup has my email address in the ldap server and these addresses can 
be accessed by Outlook and Thunderbird.

I use Sunbird as the calendar and publish the calendar to the webdav folder.

The ldap server can be maintained by phpldapadmin 
http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/


This setup allows all users to have access to a common email address 
book and a common calendar.


The only thing I was unable to do was setup an imap server to allow 
access to Common emails.


I am interested in being able to set up an imap server.

Regards,
Ivan

Re: apache13 apache13 with ssl support

 Hello,

Hi,

 I installed apache13 once upon a time and would like now to try out https.
 My question is how do I go about it? Should I uninstall apache and then
 install apache13-modssl or apache13-ssl?

You may try:

# portupgrade -f -o www/apache13-modssl apache

(modulo ports' names, it's straight out of my head :)


Or 'manually':

# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl  make
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13  make deinstall
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl  make [install|package]

(so that apache can run while apache-modssl port is compiling)

First method keeps backup package, so it may be better.


 Is there a better way like installing the missing ssl modules?

IIRC, Apache must be patched to use mod_ssl, recompilation is required.

HTH,

gvim can't find a valid font

2007-06-27 Thread Neil Gruending

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to get gvim 7.0.224 working. Every time I 
try to start it I get the following error:


E665: Cannot start GUI, no valid font found|16H|8H|4H|31H

and I get the console vim instead. I think I've messed up my xorg fonts 
somehow after upgrading to 7.2. I followed all of the steps in 
/usr/ports/UPGRADING, but I didn't have the xorg metaport installed so I 
installed it after upgrading. The first time I started it there was an 
error message that said I needed to run a program in the fonts directory 
(I forget which one), but I'm pretty sure I didn't fix the module path 
before running the command. I'm using the terminal in Xfce 4.4.1 to try 
and start gvim.


Here's part of my xorg.conf (now) in /etc/X11 that seems to be related 
to fonts:

  Concerning ports, I would install them from an _updated_ ports tree

  add things if you miss them. If you build a high-level port like
  e.g. firefox, it will built the stuff it requires automatically. But
  I would start with building the xorg meta-port, to get X sorted
  first.

 Is it considered OK to update the ports and build up your worktop
 *without* bothering with building world? Also, building a kernel
 but leaving world at release?

Yes.  The latest ports tree should work fine for the supported release
branches of FreeBSD.  There are ports which may be broken for versions
of FreeBSD which are too old (i.e. 3.X at this point), but in general
if you stick with one of the supported branches, you should be fine.

 Can you clue me up on xorg 'meta-port' ???

The ports which are called 'meta-ports' don't really have sources of
their own, but they have a list of dependencies which pulls in a set of
tools, libraries or other programs.  The /usr/ports/x11/xorg port is one
of these 'meta-ports'.  It doesn't really have anything to 'build', as
can be seen by the NO_BUILD=yes assignment of its 'Makefile':

$ cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
$ grep NO_BUILD Makefile
NO_BUILD=   yes
$

But if you try to install this port, it will pull in lots of other ports
as 'runtime dependencies'.  This way, by asking the Ports Collection to
install x11/xorg for you, you essentially end up with a full install of
all the ports needed for a very basic X11 desktop.

Ok, it depends on which version of php do you want. I can't remember
  exactly where is the port, but you can search for it on /usr/ports
  and make search:
  
# cd /usr/ports
# make search name=php4
# make search name=php5
  
If the port is in lang
  
# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
# make config install clean

Yes, remembering to turn ON the Apache module during make config; it's
been turned off by default (for some bizarre reason) a couple of years.

The php extensions are installed separatelly.

Yes, but not the Apache module, which can only be installed from ports.

If you want binary packages, look for the available package version
  at the Makefile in the port directory and install with pkg_add:
  
# pkg_add -r 'php5'

Which, because building the Apache module is not enabled by default, as
above, will only provide PHP CLI and CGI support, but not the desired
Apache module .. presumably the reason most people install PHP at all.

This will keep on bamboozling folks expecting pkg_add php5 (or php4) to
provide PHP support for Apache, until either default build options are
changed, or a specific php5-apache port (thus package) is created. 

   thanks,

Good luck...

Exactly.  This will keep on coming up on -questions regularly.

Because that's a different crontab. Each user (including root) has their own

The message stating root's crontab for freebsd in /etc/crontab is kind of

 looking at the cdrecord manpage, blank=fast or one of the other

That won't work for CD+RW DVD's /CD's They can be rewritten without

Burncd is OK, but if you want 'more', then cdrecord is unbeatable, I

Re: device polling on 6.2-stable..use? yes/no?

2007-06-27 Thread Pieter de Goeje
On Tuesday 26 June 2007, JD Bronson wrote:
 Anyone using device polling on 6.2stable (i386) ?
I have been using it.
 I have been reading up on this and seen some good and some bad but
 nothing definitive.
Basically you improve efficiency at the cost of latency, so expect lower CPU 
usage. To reduce latency one can increase HZ.

 I have bge NICs in these machines and they are running as routers,
 and  running pf.

 When I enabled it in the kernel and then via rc.conf (since sysctl
 use is depreciated now) ...I can see a difference in vmstat -i
 presuming thats the correct way to check.
Yes that would work.

 With polling DISABLED...vmstat shows ever increasing values for example:

 vmstat -i
 interrupt  total   rate
 irq4: sio0 3  0
 irq6: fdc010  0
 irq14: ata012210  0
 irq15: ata178834  2
 irq22: bge0   430416 11
 irq23: bge1   917826 24
 cpu0: timer 75098549   2000
 cpu1: timer 75092636   1999
 Total  151630484   4038

 and when I do a large network operation (like ftp an ISO) it
 increases and increaseshowever, with device polling compiled and
 configured (all default values though in sysctl) - I do not see an
 increase in vmstat numbers for the nics...I figured thats good...but
 I might be wrong?
Yup that's good. With polling off, you should never see it increase much 
beyond ~8000 interrupts/sec, the theoretical limit for an 100mbit connection 
with 1500 mtu while doing a big transfer. You can also check with 
systat -vmstat 1.

 I dont do anything higher than WAN(10MB) and LAN(100MB).

 But if anyone has any suggestions or comments  -especially values to
 adjust in sysctl, please chime in.
If you want lower latency (or if you experience packet loss) you could set
the kern.hz tunable (in loader.conf) to something higher than the default 
1000. I believe that people have been using 1 for busy routers. Note that 
this will increase CPU load when the system has no packets to process.

Installing linux libraries not in /usr/ports

2007-06-27 Thread Norberto Meijome
Hello all,
I'm testing the latest skype beta for linux from skype's site (1.4 ), ideally 
viewing to update the port while learning in the process.

I've resolved all dependencies so far (listed after my sig), except for :

libsigc-2.0.so.0 = not found

I do have libsigc++ 2. installed in my system, but I believe I need the linux 
version , correct?

Now, linux-libsigc doesn't exist in ports. I'm faced with 2 options:

1) installing libsigc from FC4 (the linux subsystem version I'm using) via RPM 
, but it seems only 1.5 has been packaged - i can't seem to find 2.0 anywhere.

2) installing libsigc from source from chroot in /usr/compat/linux - does this 
make sense? advisable?  What ports would be needed to build? i cant seem to 
find linux-gcc or similar?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

TIA!!

Gradual move to own mail server - strategy for noob

2007-06-27 Thread Barnaby Scott
Hi, I'm trying to replace my current arrangement for email, and though I 
have read as much as possible on it, I just want to check if I am on the 
right lines with what I'm planning. (Is that a legitimate use of this 
list?) It's the same old story, when you're a beginner it is very hard 
to take even small steps until you have a grasp of the 'big picture', 
and know what direction you should be going. So I'd be glad of any 
opinions, pointers, or How-Tos that I may not have spotted.


If you read the rest of this, you may think that I'm trying to implement 
something way too heavyweight for what I need at the moment, and you'd 
be right! However, I want to learn, and enjoy trying to master the big 
boys' toys.


OK, so here's where I am:
8 users
3 or 4 Windows machines including a laptop - users may use any/all of these
New FreeBSD server so far only operating as a Samba server (PDC).
Email is downloaded by individual clients from ISP via POP3 - user must 
be at specific machine to access their local mail folders. If elsewhere, 
they must use webmail, but of course sent messages, replied flags etc 
are then inconsistent, besides which messages are only left on the (ISP) 
server for a limited time.


Here is where I want to get to:
IMAP server on my FreeBSD box (and using Maildir is my instinctive 
preference.)
Ultimately, but not yet, I want to start using the FreeBSD machine as a 
proper mailserver - i.e. get a static IP address and point the MX record 
hosted by my provider at it. For now though I am happy to fetch from the 
existing mailboxes that they host for me.
Again, not necessarily now, but when I am fully up and running, run spam 
and virus checking (that's done for me now, but inevitably could be 
improved on.)


What I _think_ I want to do is this:
Install Fetchmail to get mail from my various hosted mailboxes
Configure Sendmail, which I accepted as the default mailer
Install Procmail to deliver messages in Maildir format (to users' home 
directories?)

Install Courier IMAP as the IMAP server

Ultimately, then drop Fetchmail and reconfigure Sendmail for receiving 
mail directly, and add anti- spam and virus tools.


Have I got this about right? Do I really need 4 separate tools to do 
this? Have I overlooked something more obvious/elegant? Where are my big 
pitfalls going to be?


If replying, please keep in mind my embarrassing level of inexperience!!

 Install Fetchmail to get mail from my various hosted mailboxes

Yes. For testing purpose, why don't you create a temporary mail
account at your ISP, at yahoo, gmail, etc. provided they have IMAP,
and try retreiving emails from that account.

 Configure Sendmail, which I accepted as the default mailer

Does fetchmail need sendmail? I never used fetchmail, so I am not sure
about that one.

 Install Procmail to deliver messages in Maildir format (to users' home

Yes and yes, Courrier IMAP expects the mailbox to be in the user home
directory in ~user/Maildir and procmail is a good place to plugin
several features for sorting emails.

 Install Courier IMAP as the IMAP server
 
Yes

As I said, test everything on a temporary email account.

When you start deploying it for your users, do not delete the messages
from the ISP server while you fetchmail them to your local server,
that will avoid messages getting lost: users are very touchy about
lost mail.

Try to keep long time log of everything, so you can show them thy are
complaining for no good reason. One month of /var/log/mailog may be a
good start.

 Email is downloaded by individual clients from ISP via POP3 - user must 
 be at specific machine to access their local mail folders. If elsewhere, 
 they must use webmail, but of course sent messages, replied flags etc 
 are then inconsistent, besides which messages are only left on the (ISP) 
 server for a limited time.

This would not change, only displace the problm. If you read your
email with POP3, you better always use the same machine, because the
sent folder is local to the POP3 client machine.

 Again, not necessarily now, but when I am fully up and running, run spam 
 and virus checking (that's done for me now, but inevitably could be 
 improved on.)

Don't wait too much, especially for anti-virus, if you have the
feeling that the service provided to you so far is leaking some
viruses. If the architecture is Fetchmail/sendmail/procmail, install
the amavid plugin while you are building the new
infrastructure. Improved antivirus may be a good way to sell the new
email procedure to your users (users don't like to change the way they
read email, you need incentives :).

Spam is touchy question, no one like spam, but every one may have a
very different definition of what is spam or not. On this issue, when
I started with SpamAssassin, I let the system running for a couple of
months, just tagging the spam messages, so people get used to it. Only
after that period, I started to quarantine the spam messages.

Good luck, email is certainly a big and touchy subject.

if you havent made your UPS purchase yet (and as long as you dont have a

cheers,
  

I haven't purchased a UPS yet.
Does apcupsd send shutdown messages to Windows users logged into the 
server via Samba or does it only send it to users logged directly into 
FreeBSD?
Reading the apcusbd manual I noticed it said that to access the 
RETURNCHARGE setting in the ups you need to be connected via a serial 
port. Do you use a Serial or USB connection?


I am thinking of purchasing an APC  SUA1500I model.

UFS2 optimization for many small files

2007-06-27 Thread Nguyen Tam Chinh

Greetings,

We're going to build a server with some 1Tb of over 500 million small
files with size from 0,5k to 4k.  I'm wonder if the ufs2 can handle
this kind of system well. From newfs(8) the min block size is 4k. This
is not optimal in our case, a 1k or 0,5k block is more effective IMHO.
I'd be happy if anyone can suggest what does fragment (block/8) in the
ufs2 mean and how this parameter works. I know It's better to read the
full ufs2 specification, but hope that someone here can give a hint.
Please advice with optimizations or tricks.
Thank you very much.

Re: patches for the 6.2-RELEASE kernel

2007-06-27 Thread Albert Shih
 Le 26/06/2007 à 19:40:29+0200, Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez a écrit
 Hi Folks.
 
 I am FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE user. i'm learning FreeBSD.
 
 Some times, i see people have a system named 6.2-RELEASE-pxx, where
 xx is a number. I know that -pxx are security patches, or not only
 security and too are patches for solve bugs?.

You must update you source tree by using csup (it's integrate in FreeBSD
now), with some config file like 

*default host=cvsup5.fr.freebsd.org compress
*default release=cvs
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=RELENG_6_2
src-all

After that you can read the file

/usr/src/UPDATING

wich containt the problem each patch level fix. And it's your «job» to
known if this problem affect you.

 
 My dude is: is very convenient have upgraded the kernel to this
 patches. I'm a home user, not a bussiness. Nothing important
 depend on my system.

I think you're Linux user ;-) 

The source tree containt all systeme. What's mean the kernel and the
userland (like cd/ls/etc.). 

Well you need to known if the patch-level is affect the userland or/and
kernel.

But if you've a modern PC, you can make world. For that you can do:

cd /usr/src
make -DNO_PROFILE buildworld
make buildkernel (add KERNELCONF=you_config_name, if you've custom 
kernel
  config)

make installkernel (add KERNELCONF= etc)
reboot

when you'r in boot menu choose item 4 for boot in single mode

when you obtaint something like shell press Return, you are in single mode
with only / mounted.

Type :

mount -a -t ufs

cd /usr/src
make -DNO_PROFILE installworld (this thing install all userland)
mergemaster (this thing make all etc_file in /tmp and do a big diff
and ask you if you want install the new file or keep the
old one).

logout

After that you have a fresh kernel, and fresh userland. 

Hope that's help 

Regards.

 Check out csup (previously called cvsup) in the handbook.
 Then csup your system to  RELENG_6_2  or even  RELENG_6
 and your ports to the latest.

For the ports it's better to use portsnap. It's work very fine.

Be carreful with RELENG_6 it's stable version (something like unstable in
Debian). But if it's for your home computer you can use-it.

Hello Neil,

This is strange because gVim uses built-in X fonts (i.e. 7x13) if can't
find anything else; and your X is running normally, which couldn't be
without any font available. So:

(1) 'xlsfonts' gives what?

(2) Could you please send here a relevant part of ~/.gvimrc? (Also
try to start gVim without it.)

(3) How did you compile gVim, with WITH_GTK2, or?

It's certainly not related to your gVim problem, but as of your
xorg.conf, do you have any special reason for commenting out RgbPath
and Type1 FontPath?

 Thank you very much.

Read the newfs man page.

Based on your assessment of your files, I'd go with a block size of 4K
and a frag size of 500 bytes.  Blocks are broken in to frags when a file
doesn't fill an entire block.

Make sure to set -i to about 250 or so.  An inode is needed for each file
or directory on the filesystem, so you're liable to run out of inodes
with the default values.

Make sure your files are organized in a directory hierarchy.  No filesytem
that I know of performs well with huge numbers of files in a single
directory.

Please don't cross-post.  I see no reason to copy stable@ with this message.

If you're wanting to add system include paths permanently to gcc, AFAIK 
you'll have to edit /usr/src/contrib/gcc/cppdefaults.c and add the paths 
you want to the cpp_include_defaults array. However, cpp already has a 
non-invasive way of supplying extra include paths with the -I flag, or 
you can set the CPATH environemtn vairable to the paths you would like 
to search (its form is exactly like that of PATH).

Wine users ... unite! (Wine, as in Windows Emulation, of course)

Over the past few weeks, a group of have been plugging away in relative 
obscurity to fix the world .. or, at least, the world as revolves around WINE. 
We have a few kernel hackers involved, some members of the wine group, some 
members of PC-BSD, and at least one DragonflyBSD developer ... a truly rounded 
group.

In order to avoid having this all mixed in, and lost, with other software 
discussions, the work is happening on a private list, but if anyone feels that 
they can contribute *programming knowledge* to the effort, email me and I'll 
add you to the list ... we aren't looking for testers on this list, see below 
about that ...

To the real reason for this post, we have been slowly making headway ...

If you go to:

   http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine

You will find several patches, both against FreeBSD and wine, that get the 
latest wine working under both 7.x and 6.x ... under 6.x, the only 'gotcha' is 
don't apply the signal patch yet, as it does break things ...

For testing, Tijl is running 7.x and I am running 6.x ... in my case, with all 
patches applied, except the signal patch, I can get Freecell running ... in his 
case, with all patches applied, he can get MT4 running (MT4 is an online 
financial trading piece of software) ...

For those that are interested in Wine, and are going to test the above patches, 
please subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by sending a message to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... it will also let us gauge how 
big/small the 'wine users'  population happens to be ...

 obscurity to fix the world .. or, at least, the world as revolves around 
 WINE. 
 We have a few kernel hackers involved, some members of the wine group, some 
 members of PC-BSD, and at least one DragonflyBSD developer ... a truly 
 rounded 
 group.
 
 In order to avoid having this all mixed in, and lost, with other software 
 discussions, the work is happening on a private list, but if anyone feels 
 that 
 they can contribute *programming knowledge* to the effort, email me and I'll 
 add you to the list ... we aren't looking for testers on this list, see below 
 about that ...
 
 To the real reason for this post, we have been slowly making headway ...
 
 If you go to:
 
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine
 
 You will find several patches, both against FreeBSD and wine, that get the 
 latest wine working under both 7.x and 6.x ... under 6.x, the only 'gotcha' 
 is 
 don't apply the signal patch yet, as it does break things ...
 
 For testing, Tijl is running 7.x and I am running 6.x ... in my case, with 
 all 
 patches applied, except the signal patch, I can get Freecell running ... in 
 his 
 case, with all patches applied, he can get MT4 running (MT4 is an online 
 financial trading piece of software) ...
 
 For those that are interested in Wine, and are going to test the above 
 patches, 
 please subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by sending a message to 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... it will also let us gauge how 
 big/small the 'wine users'  population happens to be ...

You can set environment variables to help GCC find include files and
libraries in your shell's startup script. For include files you can set
CPATH, for libraries you'll need to set LIBRARY_PATH. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html

Both can contain different paths separated by a colon (:).

How to set environment variables depends on the shell you use. csh uses
the 'set' command, while sh and bash use 'export'. See your shell's
manual page for details.

That's your POV. I've run sendmail, postfix and courier for quite some
time and lately I've returned to sendmail. I just like it.
Working with mc files is a breeze. You don't hack a cf file unless
you're a hacker. But _IF_ you are, hacking is easy too.

 I've heard it said that it's easier and less painfull to amputate
 your own leg with a pocket knife then to hack sendmail.cf. :)

Depends on your hacking skills..

Exabyte VXA tape drives - anyone using?

2007-06-27 Thread Rob

Hi All,
We have an Exabyte VXA-2 tape drive that I'm planning to hook up to a FreeBSD 
server.  It's been on different box running linux for a few years.

Wondering if anyone has tried to run the vxaTool utility for this drive using 
Linux emulation on FreeBSD?  It's just a simple utility for operating  running 
diagnostics.  Unfortunately, source isn't provided, nor a BSD binary.

 Hi list,

 I have server running postfix + courier-imap, and I'm looking for

 Can someone recommend calendar, that is compatible with windows

 Thanks in advance.

 P.S. Please CC me on reply as I'm not subscribed to -questions.

Hello Cheffo,
I wanted to do what you asked and after a lot of research I was able to
achieve this by installing on the FreeBSD server openldap for the email
addresses and a WEBDAV folder in Apache for the calendar.
My setup has my email address in the ldap server and these addresses can
be accessed by Outlook and Thunderbird.
I use Sunbird as the calendar and publish the calendar to the webdav folder.

The ldap server can be maintained by phpldapadmin
http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/

This setup allows all users to have access to a common email address
book and a common calendar.

The only thing I was unable to do was setup an imap server to allow
access to Common emails.

I am interested in being able to set up an imap server.

Regards,
Ivan


While I don't have this kind of setup myself, I usually see either
Cyrus or Dovecot mentioned for IMAP on the Postfix list as being one
of the better choices.

Hi, I'm trying to replace my current arrangement for email, and though I
have read as much as possible on it, I just want to check if I am on the
right lines with what I'm planning. (Is that a legitimate use of this
list?) It's the same old story, when you're a beginner it is very hard
to take even small steps until you have a grasp of the 'big picture',
and know what direction you should be going. So I'd be glad of any
opinions, pointers, or How-Tos that I may not have spotted.

If you read the rest of this, you may think that I'm trying to implement
something way too heavyweight for what I need at the moment, and you'd
be right! However, I want to learn, and enjoy trying to master the big
boys' toys.

OK, so here's where I am:
8 users
3 or 4 Windows machines including a laptop - users may use any/all of
these
New FreeBSD server so far only operating as a Samba server (PDC).
Email is downloaded by individual clients from ISP via POP3 - user must
be at specific machine to access their local mail folders. If elsewhere,
they must use webmail, but of course sent messages, replied flags etc
are then inconsistent, besides which messages are only left on the (ISP)
server for a limited time.

Here is where I want to get to:
IMAP server on my FreeBSD box (and using Maildir is my instinctive
preference.)
Ultimately, but not yet, I want to start using the FreeBSD machine as a
proper mailserver - i.e. get a static IP address and point the MX record
hosted by my provider at it. For now though I am happy to fetch from the
existing mailboxes that they host for me.
Again, not necessarily now, but when I am fully up and running, run spam
and virus checking (that's done for me now, but inevitably could be
improved on.)

What I _think_ I want to do is this:
Install Fetchmail to get mail from my various hosted mailboxes
Configure Sendmail, which I accepted as the default mailer
Install Procmail to deliver messages in Maildir format (to users' home
directories?)
Install Courier IMAP as the IMAP server



I'd suggest dovecot over courier. Courier's not exactly under active
development


Ultimately, then drop Fetchmail and reconfigure Sendmail for receiving

mail directly, and add anti- spam and virus tools.

Have I got this about right? Do I really need 4 separate tools to do
this? Have I overlooked something more obvious/elegant? Where are my big
pitfalls going to be?



IF you can just redirect the MX record it's easiest to get everything
working first them the fetchmail won't need to run for long after you've
moved DNS records. Depends if you can do this.

yes you will need some sort of anti spam. I  use Spamassassin and
MailScanner at work - which BTW ain't that far from you (
www.solidstatelogic.com)..if want some one-to-one help drop me a line.

If replying, please keep in mind my embarrassing level of inexperience!!

Very much so ... one of the biggest problems that we've been addressing is that 
FreeBSD's threading doesn't allow for cross process signally of threads ... we 
have a 'thr_kill()' function, but it only allows signalling a thread within the 
same process ...

Wine uses a two process model (not sure when they changed to it) where there is 
a 'master' (ie. NT kernel) with chid processes that get started up for the 
applications ... current FreeBSD model has no way for the master to signal the 
children ...

Tijl has created a patch for both FreeBSD and wine that adds a 'thr_kill2()' 
function that takes process id as an argument, allowing wineserver to talk to 
the application processes themselves ...

Now, I'm not 100% certain in which cases this is needed ... Tijl would be able 
to explain better ...

There are several other problems we've been able to address ... check out the 
URL I posted, Tijl explains what we've been able to accomplish so far ...

Hello Neil,

This is strange because gVim uses built-in X fonts (i.e. 7x13) if can't
find anything else; and your X is running normally, which couldn't be
without any font available. So:

(1) 'xlsfonts' gives what?

(2) Could you please send here a relevant part of ~/.gvimrc? (Also
try to start gVim without it.)

(3) How did you compile gVim, with WITH_GTK2, or?

It's certainly not related to your gVim problem, but as of your
xorg.conf, do you have any special reason for commenting out RgbPath
and Type1 FontPath?

For a new person, Sendmail and Procmail is a difficult mail system to
learn (IMO). If you want to use Courier IMAP, you might look at using
the full Courier suite it has the simplicity of doing everything in one
package. I currently much prefer using Dovecot for IMAP, and Postfix for
MTA. They are both quite easy to set up and customize to fit changing

gmirror

2007-06-27 Thread tradigan
Quick question, I am configuring gmirror to mirror certain slices on my
hard drives.. I want to mirror /dev/ad0s1 (700M) to another drive.. I am
fine with configuring gmirror and getting it running but I am unsure of
how I create the BSD slices with bsdlabel -e..

When I do a bsdlabel -e /dev/ad0s1 I get:

# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   40960004.2BSD 2048 16384 25608
  c:  14297220unused0 0 # raw part,
don't edit
  d:  1020122   4096004.2BSD 2048 16384 63760

When I initially create the mirror on the backup disk, I run a bsdlabel -e
/dev/mirror/gm0s1 and this is what it shows:

# /dev/mirror/gm0s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:  1429705   16unused0 0
  c:  14297210unused0 0 # raw part,
don't edit

My initial instinct was to mirror the bsdlabel output from ad0s1 but with
just the 16 offset for the 'a' slice coming out with:

# /dev/mirror/gm0s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:  409584164.2BSD 2048 16384 25608
  c:  14297210unused0 0 # raw part,
don't edit
  d:  1020122   4095844.2BSD 2048 16384 63760

Is my assumption correct?  Or am I missing something here?

  Hello Neil,

  can't find anything else; and your X is running normally, which
  couldn't be without any font available. So:
  
  (1) 'xlsfonts' gives what?
  
  (2) Could you please send here a relevant part of ~/.gvimrc? (Also
  try to start gVim without it.)
  
  (3) How did you compile gVim, with WITH_GTK2, or?
  
  It's certainly not related to your gVim problem, but as of your
  xorg.conf, do you have any special reason for commenting out RgbPath
  and Type1 FontPath?
  
  Nikola Lečić
 
 Hi Nikola,
 
 xlsfonts gives:
 [...]

Looks good, gVim's last choice (7x13) is there.

 and here's my vimrc (running without a vimrc doesn't change the
 error):
 [...]

Not ~/.vimrc, but ~/.gvimrc. However, I'd say this is window$ version,
('behave mswin' etc.). You should carefully rewrite this file.

 I compiled gvim from ports with the default options I think. I'm not 
 sure how to get the options used for compiling after installing a
 port.

You might want to recompile the port with gtk2 support, for example:

  # portupgrade -f -m 'WITH_GTK2=yes' vim

(BTW, your vim is 7.0.224, whilst the last version is 7.0.241 -- not a
bad idea to upgrade your ports first and then to upgrade vim.)

There is gvimrc example, /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/gvimrc_example.vim.
You can copy that file to ~/.gvimrc and edit it. Additionally, I
attached the stripped version of my gVim config (gvimrc-nikola). You
will see there several if clausules for default font setting since the
syntax depends on how you compiled vim. In your case (with default
options), gVim should read x11 section.

 As for the RGBpath and Type1 font path, that's how xorg made the
 file. Since I don't know much about configuring X, I figured it was
 smarter than me and it knew what it was doing.

Ok. So,

(1) try to use gvimrc I sent (of course, check if you actually have
fonts that are listed there), or try the official example;

(2) try to upgrade vim, consider enabling gtk2 support (gVim will
behave as a full gtk2 app then)

(3) try to remove all old config files you have, including system-wide
ones. ':version' should show you where they are.

Upgrading from an old athlon to a new 64 bit one.

2007-06-27 Thread eculp
I have just stuck the disks from an old AMD Athlon(tm)  (1333.39-MHz  
686-class CPU) into a new box with an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor  
3800+ (2387.78-MHz 686-class CPU).  I am still building a daily kernel  
with the old configuration and all is well.  Of course the old  
configuration was/is i386.  Now I need to compile for 64 bit apps.  I  
have configured a slightly modified sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC kernel and  
was going to build it as a test only to find out that a simple make  
buildkernel KERNCONF=AMD doesn't find /sys/amd64/conf/AMD.  There is  
an old reference in UPDATING from 5.0 that didn't work either.


The other question is on today's make world all seems to still be  
compiled ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386 so I am sure missing  
something very simple.


I'm actually going to update serveral machines, both Current and  
RELENG.  All of which are up to date.  Hopefully there will be no  
major problems.  I also plan to recompile all ports once I am able to  
build and install an AMD64 world and kernel.  Right now all is working  
fine with todays, sources and kernel except they are compiled for Intel.


Any other suggestions appreciated.  Maybe someone might recommend  
upgrading the RELENG boxes to CURRENT first?

It is possible to cross-build for amd64, but you'll need a seperate
partition to put the 64-bit environment on. Look at the mailing list
archives. This question has come up before.

But to keep things simple, I'd advise you to backup your files,
configuration files from /etc and possible /usr/ports/distfiles,
reinstall from an amd64 CD and then rebuild your kernel, world and ports
to your liking.

Re: Starting again from Scratch

2007-06-27 Thread Graham Bentley
Special thanks to Roland, Nikola, Manolis, Peter, Giorgos, Jonathon
for some great replies on this thread.

I have now done a re-install from scratch. Essentially I have done
a 'minimal' install (no ports/pkgs)- wow, this took literally just 
a few minutes.

Next I 'portsnap fetch' and 'portsnap extract'

I then did 'make install' first for Xorg then next for Xfce4 metas.

And, yes, this took quite some time :)

Afterwards I have used the fetched ports for adding all the dekstop
stuff I like / use.

And on advice I will use portmaster to track events on these softs.

So, now I am happy with my new FreeBSD desktop. There are a few
small glitches though.

audacious - where did the plugins go? The site seems down as do the
alternatives. I tried the plugins src from OpenBSD altho slightyly
behind by 0.0.1 but cant get any sound?

I am using xmms now, I mainly play audio streams (www.somafm.com or
www.swissgroove.ch)

Is there any other player I 'should know about' ie is more actively
developed / supported? Beep? Zinf? Suggestions invited :)

And ... I cant mount my (other os) msdosfs as a user, Im sure I have
done this before, driving me nuts, cant think what I havent done?

--fstab entry--
/dev/ad0s5 /mnt/dosdmsdosfs rw 22
/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/doscmsdosfs rw 22
/mnt etc is 666 owned by root:wheel and my user is part of wheel group?

And lastly, cups webmin:631 refuses my root password ... is this a
cupsd.conf setting ?

As usual any advice on above greatly appreciated.

Greetings from not so sunny North West UK !

Nice :) But you still might want to create a separate .gvimrc since
there are options you don't want in plain terminal vim. Also, your

Hi Roland.

Boy am I glad that I asked.  That is probably the last thing I would  
have done.  Plus thanks for the answer, I must not have done a proper  
search.


I hope that the apps will run after reinstalling.   I assume that the  
source tree will somehow recognize that I will be building world and  
the kernel on a AMD64.  I'm downloading a copy of disk2 from FreeBSD  
now.


Have a great day.

 3800+ (2387.78-MHz 686-class CPU).  I am still building a daily
 kernel with the old configuration and all is well.  Of course the
 old configuration was/is i386.  Now I need to compile for 64 bit
 apps.  

Are you sure about that? there are few compelling reasons to go to
64-bit, if you already have a working system. As far as performance is
concerned, it may go either way.

 Right now all is
 working fine with todays, sources and kernel except they are compiled
 for Intel.

They are compiled for i386; Intel and AMD both produce CPUs for both
platforms.

  I do have libsigc++ 2. installed in my system, but I believe I need the

  Now, linux-libsigc doesn't exist in ports. I'm faced with 2 options:
 
  1) installing libsigc from FC4 (the linux subsystem version I'm using) via 
  RPM , but it seems only 1.5 has been packaged - i can't seem to find 2.0 
  anywhere.
 
 Well, it really simple here, just use http://www.rpmfind.net . And
 using libsigc-2.0.so.0 as a search pattern will give you an
 answer: it is an extra for FC4 (libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.i386.rpm).
 
 And here is the link at kernel.org:
 http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/extras/4/i386/libsigc++-1.2.7-2.fc4.i386.rpm
 
 PS. Seems that you have missed an extra category while searching. ;-)
 

oops thanks!!! and sorry :)
Anyway, my actual problem wasn't with the rpm or not
rpm (I was going to end up finding it anyway...it's been a while I *had* to go
into rpm world), but what is the best approach to installing this - chroot to
the linux subsystem and install from there? It seems rpm is already installed
in my system (BSD, not linux subsystem) ... should I use that ? 

thanks , and sorry for waisting your time w/the rpm:)

It may not be sufficient to get a static IP address. If you wish to
send out mail directly, you really need one with control of reverse
DNS, since that's the criterion for getting out of dynamic
address blocklists.

Help getting apache 22 working

2007-06-27 Thread Andrew Falanga

Hi,

I've installed apache 22 on my churches web server and am having some
difficulty getting it working.  I've figured out that I need something
call accept filters accept_filter(9) for this as the server was
complaining about a missing file named httpready (or something like
this).  I found from the Apache site linked in the handbook that I
need to have a kernel module named accf_http loaded, which I have
done.  This has actually eliminated that error.

However, the server still isn't working as a lynx localhost is
denied and sockstat doesn't show any listening sockets on port 80.
What else needs to be done to get apache 22 working?

accf_http is not compulsory for apache to work.

did you add  the enabling line in /etc/rc.conf? For version 2.2 it should be

apache22_enable=YES


( you actually need to check the startup script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, in
this case /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 to see what _enable line is needed )

then you start the webserver with 

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start

( or 'forcestart' instead of start if you don't have the _enable line in
rc.conf)

Also, make sure you have no firewall in place stopping the traffic.

Ah, ok.  That's good to know, though I did put the module to autoload

Not yet.  I was just trying to start it via /usr/local/sbin/apachectl.

Thanks for the info.  I actually found that, apparently, apache 22 is
much more of a stickler for an IP address to hostname than is apache
1.3.  I did a little bit of slight of hand in /etc/hosts and then
started apache and it actually started for me.

I didn't think this was the problem because on my personal machine I'm
running 1.3 and I get this same error, but the server still starts.

Thanks everybody.

Re: OT: how to increase RAID space

2007-06-27 Thread akruijff



  Quoting Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


that's what a volume manager (such as LVM2 in linux, Veritas Vol Mgr , and
vinum (I think) in FBSD 4 ) do  - they abstract the hardware storage layer.


That is hardware RAID.


It depends on what you have. If you have a 5/6 RAID setup then you  
might get away with simply adding a disk. This will work from the RAID  
point, I just don't know how FreeBSD will feel about this. Perhaps the  
manufacture has special tools for this.
