to those interested, I finally solved this problem, it turns out that the path wasnt correctly set for /usr/local/bin, and adding this line fixed it PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/startup---shutdown-script-%28rc.d%29-tf3848895.html#a11496394 Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Colin, Thanks for your reply. What makes you think that the crypto code is missing?

Zbigniew Szalbot I would take a look at cvsweb.freebsd.org and find out when PHP 4.3.10 was in ports, then roll back your ports tree to that date with cvsup and install it from ports. So in this case the commit that updated the port to 4.3.11 was on Mon April 4 2005, so if you roll back the ports tree to April 1 you'll be fine. You'll need cvsup for this. In your ports-supfile add the following line: *default date=2005.04.01.00.00.00 If you have the current versions of gettext, libtool, m4, perl, and expat installed you can simply roll back the lang directory with cvsup, saving you from rolling back the entire tree by commenting out ports-all, and uncommenting ports-base and ports-lang Otherwise, if you want to install the versions of the dependancies that were current at the time of php 4.3.10 you'll want to roll back the entire tree. After you run cvsup you can just portinstall it or cd /usr/ports/lang/php4 make install clean HTH -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel pgpIcvWLKOPvE.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's always wise to back up /etc before running mergemaster to cover just this type of mistake. In this case I'm guessing you replaced your /etc/master.passwd with the default one. From single-user mode, set the root password using the passwd utility. You will probably need to re-add your user account and any others that aren't part of the system default. I would grab /etc/master.passwd from your backup and do a line-by-line comparison with the file currently installed on your system. When re-adding users, be sure to use the same UID's and GID's so that file permissions will be correct. See man pw for details. Alternatively, you could replace /etc/master.passwd with the copy from your backup and run mergemaster again. This time pay attention and actually merge the file.

Installation woes with 6.2 release

I've put in an Addonics ADSA2 PCI SATA card, which sports the SiL 1352A chipset, but the install blows up when installing to a 74GB Seagate drive - the kernel panics and it reboots while copying files to disk.

Hello, I would take a look at cvsweb.freebsd.org and find out when PHP 4.3.10 was in ports, then roll back your ports tree to that date with cvsup and install it from ports. So in this case the commit that updated the port to 4.3.11 was on Mon April 4 2005, so if you roll back the ports tree to April 1 you'll be fine. You'll need cvsup for this. In your ports-supfile add the following line: *default date=2005.04.01.00.00.00 If you have the current versions of gettext, libtool, m4, perl, and expat installed you can simply roll back the lang directory with cvsup, saving you from rolling back the entire tree by commenting out ports-all, and uncommenting ports-base and ports-lang Otherwise, if you want to install the versions of the dependancies that were current at the time of php 4.3.10 you'll want to roll back the entire tree. After you run cvsup you can just portinstall it or cd /usr/ports/lang/php4 make install clean All clear but when I go to install this particular version of PHP I am (rightly) warned about its multiple known vulnerabilities. I read man portinstall but don't think I have seen information how to temporarily switch this security check off when installing a port. Many thanks in advance!

Re: NTFS-3G: mount at boot
On 7/8/07, Novembre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Okay, here's an update:
Creating a symlink from /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g to /sbin/mount_ntfs-3g
does not work (as posted before on the ntfs-3g forum message below).
I, then, added the following ntfsmount startup script to
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/:
--
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
. /etc/rc.subr
name=ntfsmount
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
--
Then, chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntfsmount (to make it executable),
then added ntfsmount_enable=YES to my /etc/rc.conf, then rebooted. I
did not see any error messages during boot, but the partition was not
mounted ('mount' returns nothing after logging in).
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt to mount the
windows partition, 'mount' now shows /mnt/windows THREE times, like
/dev/fuse1 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse3 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse5 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
and 'ls /dev/f*' returns
/dev/fuse0 /dev/fuse1 /dev/fuse2 /dev/fuse3 /dev/fuse4
/dev/fuse5
It seems that since the 'ntfs-3g' command ran twice in the ntfsmount
script, running 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt makes the
third mount point. But if its two runs in the startup script were
successful, why would 'mount' not show the mount points until I run it
again from the command prompt?
I even tried removing one of the 'ntfs-3g' commands in the ntfsmount
script, i.e.
--
command=ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8
--
Rebooting with this, still 'mount' shows nothing after logging in.
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' from the command prompt now, I get TWO
/mnt/windows mount points (instead of three). So it seems the all the
runs in the script are successful and the partition is mounted, but
the mount point is not available until I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the
command prompt.
I am using
fusefs-kmod-0.3.0_5
fusefs-libs-2.6.4
fusefs-ntfs-1.417_2
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks :)

I have the same problem. A little search got me to
http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=292 where a solution is posted. It seems
that using /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS partition at boot time is not working
since the mount command is being executed before the 'fuse' kernel module is
loaded. However, on my 6.2-RELEASE machine, I see the following message when
booting:

I'm assuming that this late mount (the last line above) is being done after
loading the 'fuse' kernel module, so the OS should be able to mount the file system now, but
it can't! It's looking for mount_ntfs-3g and that file does not exist.
My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g
rw 0 0
I also used the /etc/fstab entry suggested in NTFS-3G's own website ( http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ -
scroll down to the end of the page), where defaults is being used instead of
rw, but that gave me this error:

Xorg 7.2 and FreeBSD 6.2-p5 VMWARE vmmouse problem
Howdy, I was successfully able to get Xorg upgraded to 7.2 by just installing them from scratch as opposed to trying to upgrading an existing system, BUT I’ve run into a problem… While running VMWare Server 1.0.3 with FreeBSD 6.2-p5 and Xorg 7.2, the mouse pointer behaves very oddly. The pointer appears in the wrong place on the screen for where the system actually thinks that it is. I’m using the vmmouse driver part of the Xorg system, as the regular mouse driver doesn’t appear to work at all, unless some settings are amiss. I really like the vmmouse drive because you can move the pointer in/out of the window as you do with regular windows guest OSes. Has anyone experienced similar problems and/ or know of a fix for this?

NFSv4 server
Hi all! I've been running my home file server on Linux for quite a number of years, but ever since I started running FreeBSD on my laptop, I've been itching a bit to start looking into reinstalling the file server with FreeBSD as well. There's just one show-stopper: There seems not to be any Kerberized NFS server for FreeBSD. Does anyone know if there's one in the works or just hidden from my sight somewhere out there? I've noticed that FreeBSD's errno(3) man page includes error codes that seem to be for authenticated NFS access, but grepping through /usr/src for them yields no hits outside of errno.h. I'm just wondering if there are any plans.

RE: reboot in single user
I'm curious to know if there is a command to reboot into single user mode- * more importantly* if I do reboot in single user mode can I still SSH in? My box is not physically near me and I'm upgrading 5.5 to 6.2 - so it this possible- or do I need to go get the box and attach a keyboard monitor and mouse to it? Thanks Shutdown now goes into single user mode, but it will close SSH ! Better is to manually shutdown al daemons through /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /etc/rc.d to only have sshd running. If you using natd do not stop it either, because it will disconnect you. Then you can finnish the make world cycles. That is the way I do it from a remote shell, it it only failed me once. Else try on a spare machine install 5.5 and update it to 6.2 through a ssh version, then you know what to expect. Also install the main ports you have running on your remote 5.5 box and try if they still work. How long will this take- as stopping the daemons (spamd/clamd etcc..) will cause a halt in my incoming mail? Weel it is only the make installworld and mergemaster part so I guess about a minut or 10 You can do the buildworld and buildkernel steps and let the machine do its work, Then you can install the kernel do a mergemaster -p and then shutdown all services. Then do the make installworld and mergemaster part. Also if you go from 5.5 to 6.2 you can do make delete-old it will remove files that are not part of the base in 6.2 And after that make delete-old-libs (WARNING) this can mean you will need to recompile some ports that use the old 5 libs, like bash If your shell is bash and you reboot the machine the possibility is that bash need an old 5.5 lib, so no access to your machine anymore. Well again install 5.5 on a spare machine, install the ports you have running on the remote location (or create packages from the other machine) and do the cycle on that spare machine, this way no unexpected things should happen.
