Yes, CTRL+ALT+DEL will reboot the server cleanly,
but it does not shutdown the previous session nicely, it shuts it
down catastrophically, and it can be done by anyone with access
to the system keyboard.  Robin asked for a way to allow one specific
 non-root user  to be able to shutdown the system.

The usual procedure if you want to make webmail secure is to field the
webmail server on a separate box.  (that is what we do)  Just about all
webmail interfaces I've tried use IMAP or POP3 to communicate with the
mailserver, in fact, very few can read the mailboxes directly.

There are other reasons you might want to run a webinterface on the
mailserver, however.

Just a quick nit to pick here - delivering to virtual mailboxes is
the job of the local delivery agent, not Sendmail.  Many people have
written scripts that deliver mail to mySQL databases, etc. to support
virtual mailboxes, that work with Sendmail just fine.

The IMAP server also has nothing whatsoever to do with sendmail, or
any mail transfer agent for that matter.  By definition, it's a 
completely separate server.

Wait, you do not install ports from the disc, you install packages from 
the disc. This is a small difference. Ports are source based, packages 
are binaries.



One of the things which caused me to wonder about this was that some
time back I tried FreeBSD out for a while and ran into some oddities

and because of it I always had a suspicion that I had broken the
system with my out of whack updates (I did not move up to stable at
that time) but I just never could really find out if that were so.

Never forget, the ports tree is a live object. It can happen that you 
upgrade now and find a ruined system, then upgrade a minute later and 
the system is fine again.



One last newb question is concerning cvsup itself.  In reference to
ports is there a difference, in the end, between this and portsnap?


There should be no difference at the final end.

Newbie questions about updating

[cothrige]

I know this is going to be a very dumb question, but I just can't seem
to get my mind around exactly what is involved and what I should do
regarding this issue.  I understand from reading the handbook that the
ports system is completely separate from the OS itself, and that these
can be upgraded or updated separately.  From what I can see this seems
to most often involve CVSup, and I have been operating under the
assumption that one must run two cvsup operations with two separate
supfiles to update both the core OS and the ports.  Am I understanding
this correctly?

be required to keep the ports as they have installed from the disc?

One last newb question is concerning cvsup itself.  In reference to
ports is there a difference, in the end, between this and portsnap?
Do they result in the same ports?  I am sure this is answered
somewhere, but the handbook and other sites seem to take a somewhat
ground-eye view of how to use them but don't dwell much on the
mysteries behind what they do and how they may differ.

Many thanks for any clarification that can be offered to me on these things.

Note that this may well be hardware related: without acpi you are  
only

using one CPU, etc, so if one of the others is bad it will only fail
when you have ACPI enabled -- even if ACPI itself is not to blame.



Easily testable by running that Other Operating system on the thing
which I would have expected Chad to have done.


Sorry to be MIA for the last day.

No, I did not test it with that OS which shall not be named.   
However, I did attempt to install Sol10 on it.  Sol10 also relies on  
ACPI btw.  Anyway, the same error happened a good way through the  
installation -- it rebooted itself during the high IO of installing  
the system onto the system array.  Sol10 uses a 32bit kernel for the  
installation and I think, but am not sure, that it only activates 1  
CPU core.


I do not think, however, that it is a bad CPU.  I can boot the system  
with ACPI and activate all 4 CPU cores and I can run CPU intensive  
things, so far, as long as they do not generate lots of IO, and  
processes run fine on all 4 CPUs and will run for hours.  However, if  
I do something that generates IOs, like a build world on the FreeBSD  
source, about 75% of the time it does not make it all the way through  
with the build.  It takes me about 45min on this system to do a "make  
buildworld" and it usually will happen 10-30 minutes into the build.   
25% of the time it will make it through 1 build world, and once or  
twice has made it through 2, but always fails in the same way on a  
subsequent retry of the build. (Ie, I just keep doing builds over and  
over until it fails, which is 75% of the time in the first build, 24%  
of the time in the second, and 1% of the time in the third, roughly  
speaking).


I also do not think it is the memory.  For one, that would show up  
even with ACPI disabled, and 2, I ran multiple complete passes of the  
standalone memtest86 program without error.


I do not think it is thermally related as the temperature never got  
very high and I had additional fans temporarily blowing or I also  
stuck it directly over my A/C floor register with the A/C on blowing  
cold air directly at the intake of the system.


I monitored the Areca system while it was building and its  
temperatures never got anywhere near the limits Areca sets for their  
boards.  (The Areca has its own ethernet port and I was directly  
attached to that from my powerbook during several tests when it failed).


This machine is now in production with only the 1 CPU core.  I cannot  
do extensive testing but I can get pieces of info or do a reboot with  
ACPI if there are data items for me to grab if people want to take a  
look at what it is doing etc.


Thanks!

This looks like a umask problem.
What are you using to upload the files? For example proftpd FTP server
has a setting to control umask which by default will create world and
group readable files (umask 022). If you are using something else, you
may want to check the configuration file for a similar setting. If this
is a user's home directory, you may also wish to check umask settings in
the shell startup files.

Uhhh... it's a long time since I've used CGI.pm. But if I remember
correctly, the DTD was hard-coded in CGI.pm itself, and output by
start_html(); but you could override it with a value of your own.

From /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm:
---

use constant XHTML_DTD => ['-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN',
  'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'];

...

(And further down)

...

# > Here are some globals that you might want to adjust <<
sub initialize_globals {
# Set this to 1 to enable copious autoloader debugging messages
$AUTOLOAD_DEBUG = 0;

# Set this to 1 to generate XTML-compatible output
$XHTML = 1;

# Change this to the preferred DTD to print in start_html()
# or use default_dtd('text of DTD to use');
$DEFAULT_DTD = [ '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN',
 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd' ] ;

...

(scroll down again)

...

 Method: start_html
# Canned HTML header
#
# Parameters:
# $title -> (optional) The title for this HTML document (-title)
# $author -> (optional) e-mail address of the author (-author)
# $base -> (optional) if set to true, will enter the BASE address of
this document #  for resolving relative references (-base) 
# $xbase -> (optional) alternative base at some remote location (-xbase)
# $target -> (optional) target window to load all links into (-target)
# $script -> (option) Javascript code (-script)
# $no_script -> (option) Javascript  tag (-noscript)
# $meta -> (optional) Meta information tags

# $style -> (optional) reference to an external style sheet
# @other -> (optional) any other named parameters you'd like to

'start_html' => <<'END_OF_FUNC',
sub start_html {
my($self,@p) = &self_or_default(@_);
my($title,$author,$base,$xbase,$script,$noscript,
$target,$meta,$head,$style,$dtd,$lang,$encoding,$declare_xml,@other)
= rearrange([TITLE,AUTHOR,BASE,XBASE,SCRIPT,NOSCRIPT,TARGET,
   META,HEAD,STYLE,DTD,LANG,ENCODING,DECLARE_XML],@p);

$self->element_id(0);
$self->element_tab(0);

$encoding = 'iso-8859-1' unless defined $encoding;

# Need to sort out the DTD before it's okay to call escapeHTML().
my(@result,$xml_dtd);
if ($dtd) {
if (defined(ref($dtd)) and (ref($dtd) eq 'ARRAY')) {
$dtd = $DEFAULT_DTD unless $dtd->[0] =~ m|^-//|;
} else {
$dtd = $DEFAULT_DTD unless $dtd =~ m|^-//|;
}
} else {
$dtd = $XHTML ? XHTML_DTD : $DEFAULT_DTD;
}

(etc. etc. etc...)

So you may want to change stuff in initialize_globals or use
default_dtd("your own DTD") or change the constant XHTML_DTD
itself, if nothing else works.

But are you sure that CGI.pm will generate *strict* XHTML
for you? They're setting the DTD to transitional for some
reason, I think.

Regarding the relative order in the header, try playing
with the parameters of start_html.

Good luck!

Dumb question about DES/MD5 in /etc/master.passwd

[João Carlos Mendes Luís]

   This question must be really dumb, but I cannot find its answer.

   In a somewhat recently updated RELENG_6 FreeBSD, whenever I run the 
program /usr/bin/passwd to change an users password, it encrypts the 
password using DES.  I have already configured /etc/login.conf for MD5, 
but it still goes with DES:


*$ grep passwd /etc/login.conf
   :passwd_format=md5:\
#   :passwd_format=des:\
$*

   What could I be doing wrong?

   If that matters, this system has been receiving system and /etc 
upgrades since Sep/2003.  Maybe some old configuration has been left 
around...


   Thanks in advance,

   Jonny

Re: astronomy

[Predrag Punosevac]

I am a "former astronomer" turn hardcore mathematician but just by 
looking at the graphs it seems to me that you are trying to port 
something for which you could use existing software.
Even generic programs like SciLab of FreeMat can do it let alone 
graphics software.


My guess is that you would have to do the port by yourself. I am not 
saying I would not like to be in the ports, all I am saying is that if I 
do port my first priority would be powerdot class (replacing obsolete  
class prosper and far superior to bemmer in performance and in 
particularly in simplicity of use) of presentations for Latex which is 
unfortunately not in the port tree.

Sincerely,
Predrag Punoseavac

Thanks Volodymyr, I appreciate it. Where would all of the FastCGI parameters
go, such as # of children, timeout values, etc.

Hi
 s2plot from astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot seems like quite an 
interesting program and has
linux, darwin and cygwin downloads. Would anyone from freebsd be 
interested in adding it to

ports?
   Thank's
Damon

Did you reinstall/upgrade X after having installed nvidia-driver?
X actually overwrites libraries that nvidia-driver installs so you have
to reinstall nvidia-driver every time you upgrade X.
I remember having had some bad crashes some time ago because X overwrote
nvidia GLX libraries.

Best regards,
Jona

Cause I checked 3 working nvidia xorg configs for 3 different cards and none 
of them has Section Display in them, let alone 20 of them :p

Run nvidia-xconfig, it'll generate a much cleaner xorg.conf file, enable nvAgp 
and load a few less extensions. If that one works, you can start diffing and 
adding things again to figure out the cause (if you're interested :p).

Also check /boot/device.hints and disable Agp there. A GeForce 6200 for 
instance, insists on it, while other cards don't, but I never had one reboot 
the machine. I just get:

agp0:  mem 0xf800-0xfbff at device 0.0 
on pci0
NVRM: detected agp.ko, aborting NVIDIA AGP setup!

echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >>/boot/device.hints should do it.

Commenting BusID has the same effect - prompt reboot.

The Display subsections are pretty standard for every X configuration
I've ever used; why would they cause a problem in this case?

> And anything /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Using nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp?

No, nothing gets to the log before reboot occurs.

Not using either of nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp, that I'm aware of. I did not
enable FREEBSD_AGP at build time.

Running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 SMP i386.

I installed nvidia-driver-100.14.11 from ports (Sep. 5 snapshot),
Linux compatibility enabled. After loading modules 'linux' and
'nvidia', I do:

# X -configure
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

At this point the system spontaneously reboots. 'X -configure' runs
fine and produces a configuration without issue, but the reboot
occcurs when launching X. Nothing is output to screen (it flickers as
if starting X), and nothing is written to /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I do
get the same behavior if running 'xorgcfg'.

Card info:

"NV41 [Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] rev 162"

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x029b10de chip=0x00cd10de
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
class= display
subclass = VGA

I've tried an alternate version of the binary driver
(nvidia-driver-96xx) to see if there was any change, and it also
reboots on X startup.

sysctl.conf, dmesg, and Xorg configuration included below.

why not ask them to do CTRL+ALT+DEL which will reboot the server cleanly and 
once it hit does the intial reset, turn it off.

What I would do is develop a script (owned by  root ) and
callable by everybody which then checks the  user-id  of its caller,
and if it is an acceptable one, the script will issue a warning
(to wall) and then shutdown the system.

Have you tried adding hint.fd.0.disabled="1" and hint.fdc.0.disabled="1" 
to your loader.conf (or device.hints)? I don't know it it will work, 
it's just something you could try.




I have not.  If I do this, will it actually disable the floppy/controller?
The issue for me is that I want to be able to actually use the floppy
when I need it, I just don't want to have wait multiple minutes while
the kernel figures out there is not floppy in the drive at boot time...

Re: FreeMAT fails to compile

[Predrag Punosevac]

Thanks I am doing portsnap fetch && portsnap extract && portsnap update
I hope to get newer port three (I got this one 20 days ago I thought I 
would be OK)

I will change the make as you outlined
Thanks a LOT

Removing BusID do anything? All those Displays sounds a bit much too. I 
*strongly* recommend using nvidia-xconfig (x11/nvidia-config).

And anything /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Using nvAgp or FreeBSD Agp?

thanks for this, and for the other replies that I've received. It looks
as if I won't be able to avoid a big overhaul if that machine is to keep
the benefits of the ports system,

Sounds cool indeed. And it's in ports (good to know).

Good to know too. Makes it easier to help you, when we know what you're 
familiar with.

OK, I just installed it, pkg-message said:
NOTE: A set of sample configuration files have been installed:

  /usr/local/etc/smokeping/config
  /usr/local/etc/smokeping/smokemail
  /usr/local/etc/smokeping/basepage.html
  /usr/local/etc/smokeping/tmail

You *MUST* edit these to suit your requirements. Please read the
manpages 'smokeping_install' and 'smokeping_config' for further
details on installation and configuration.

Looking at that by man smokeping_install it looks very detailed, but if you've 
never set up anything with apache can be quite hard.

A quick glance tells me that the port took care of most of the installation 
already. The only thing that's left is configuration of above mentioned 
files, which only you can do.

To get it working fast:
in /usr/local/etc/smokeping/config, change line:
cgiurl   = http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
to:
cgiurl   = http://your.web.server/cgi/smokeping.cgi

Then edit /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Add the following line:
ScriptAlias /cgi/smokeping.cgi /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/smokeping.cgi

(There's another ScriptAlias line in the default httpd.conf, so you can put 
this line right below or above that).

Now things *should* work. If not, read the manpage smokeping_config carefully 
or report any errors you get to the list.

nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup

[Darren Spruell]

Wondering if this is a known issue, or if anyone has suggestions to
get it working...?

Running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 SMP i386.

I installed nvidia-driver-100.14.11 from ports (Sep. 5 snapshot),
Linux compatibility enabled. After loading modules 'linux' and
'nvidia', I do:

# X -configure
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

At this point the system spontaneously reboots. 'X -configure' runs
fine and produces a configuration without issue, but the reboot
occcurs when launching X. Nothing is output to screen (it flickers as
if starting X), and nothing is written to /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I do
get the same behavior if running 'xorgcfg'.

Card info:

"NV41 [Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] rev 162"

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x029b10de chip=0x00cd10de
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
class= display
subclass = VGA

I've tried an alternate version of the binary driver
(nvidia-driver-96xx) to see if there was any change, and it also
reboots on X startup.

sysctl.conf, dmesg, and Xorg configuration included below.

sysctl.conf:

Re: Encrypting mirrored device with geli fails

[Wojciech Puchar]

beastie_disable="YES"

geom_mirror_load="YES"

Swap space is encrypted by appending '.eli' to /dev/mirror/gm0s1b in
/etc/fstab. According to the ouput of swapinfo that works fine.

/dev/mirror/gm0s1a is mounted on /
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d is mounted on /var
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e is mounted on /usr
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f is mounted on /crypt

I was trying to encrypt /dev/mirror/gm0s1f but a "MD5 mismatch" occurred:

As you could find out in under 10 seconds by STFW, smokeping is a
program that monitors network performance by sending ping packets
around the place at regular intervals and then graphing the
round-trip-time.

FreeMAT fails to compile

[Predrag Punosevac]

Does anyone know why am I getting this message when trying to compile 
freemat. I do have scilib installed so I hope it is not related to
the conflict of libraries. I also made same choices when asked on 
interactive screens instead of using BATCH mode. Did I make wrong 
choices? How can I undo this and start with fresh installation in which 
I will just keep default options.

Try finding the rescue directory, there's statically linked df and ls in there 
that should help you locate why /libexec/ld-elf.so isn't found. I don't 
recall where it is on the installation cd-rom, after it's booting and don't 
have one handy at the moment.

Encrypting mirrored device with geli fails

The port tree is no longer supported for anything less than version 
5-stable. The last working tag is RELEASE_4_EOL.

Going from 4.x to 6.x, you are probably much better off doing a clean 
install. Change the HDs from ufs to ufs2. Without the clean install, 
you have too much crufty stuff left behind, such as the thread change. 
In addition, there was a massive change at 5.1 +/- that building and 
installing in the wrong order would leave your system unusable. I think 
you could recover with the fixit disk but doing a clean install 
bypasses all of the problems :). 

I don't think going to 6.x is supported, so, going to 5-stable and then 
6-stable will take a lot of time. Even a 6.2-release CD has the old 
version of xorg on it and rebuilding everything to 7.2 is a massive 
enterprise.

Install 6.2 and get all of the packages from freebsd.org.

4.x has been dropped from support by the ports tree.  Several months
ago now.  It's never going to work,

For a 4.x to 6.x upgrade, your most effective route is generally to
backup your important files and data, and then nuke and repave your
server -- ie. just do a clean install of 6.2 overwriting the old
system -- then use csup(1)[*] to grab the latest RELENG_6 source and
buildworld in the usual way.

Given the price of hard drives nowadays, you could just buy yourself
a new one and install 6.2 on that -- gives you an easy back-out
route to 4.11 if it all goes horribly wrong...

Cheers,

Matthew

[*] That's a replacement for cvsup, written in C and part of the
base system in 6.x.

can't `make index` on 4.11-STABLE

Hi,

I have a problem trying to `make index` on a machine running 4.11-STABLE
after cvsup-ing the ports tree.

I'll paste the error in below. It is with a multimedia package. If it

Alternately, any links to a howto about ugrading this to 6 STABLE would
be appreciated.

Thanks, here is the error:

How do you determine they're broken? Like which error messages you get with 
what command, that makes you decide to trash them.

Cdrecord (or burncd for that matter) doesn't know what bootable cd-roms are. 
The iso file determines if they're bootable or not. Cdrecord/burncd just 
tells the cd writer what bytes to burn in which sectors.

man mkisofs should tell you about making an iso file bootable.

However one day I decided to see what all the hoopla over qmail
was about.  So I went into the ports and ran make.

Much to my suprise, qmail installed 6 separate accounts in the
pasword file.  This was just with a make and NOT make install.

That at the very least is very rude behaviour. And another problem
with qmail from what I've read is that if you send mail to
several people on the same server, instead of doing what all
other MTA's do - and send ONE mail with all addresses, qmail
will generate a separate email for each user - putting un-needed
loads on your server and the recipients machine.

And the last time the qmail tar file that you get when you run
make has been changed was March 4, 2001.  Anyone who even thinks
that a piece of software that it 6 years old has no flaws had best
re-think this.  The last patches were in 2003.


Don't wonder if qmail has flaws, go to CERT.org and search first for 
Sendmail, then Postfix, then Exim, then qmail. To say "Anyone who even 
thinks that a piece of software that it 6 years old has no flaws had 
best re-think this.", is simply FUD.




ISTR that I heard DJB speak at a Usenix conference many years ago
and I was less than impressed with his "I'm better than any of
you" attitude.

Many seem to share that feeling - so consider me prejudiced.


We have run qmail for several years on FreeBSD quite well with few 
problems, none of which where related to the software, it's design, it's 
configuration, always it was Clam or SpamAssassin binding things up. It 
is stable, fast, secure, and provides abilities other MTAs do not. It is 
our first choice for a toaster or a mail list server.


We use Sendmail on our gateways for it's excellent milter support and 
versatile configuration. It has more knobs than a recording studio.


If we had a client with just a few domains and the need for their own 
MTA, we would install Postfix for it's ease of use. It's rock solid and 
easy to remember when you come back to it six months later.

Re: Canon A620, FreeBSD and gphoto2

[Predrag Punosevac]

Eric,
Some cameras can be mounted without any software on FreeBSD. Yours is 
not one of those so be it.

No we are going to use gPhoto2.

If you play (ON THE MENU OF CAMERA) with the options on YOUR CAMERA in 
particular options for USB connector you will see that the following 
options likely will be displayed

Pict Bridge
PTP
Mass Storage
Auto

By default the camera is in Auto mode which is good enough for Windozzz 
but FreeBSD might want you
to put camera in PTP  mode usually used when camera is directly 
connected to PRINTER via

USB.
Then just follow the steps I gave you.
I am 99% sure that your camera DOES work with FreeBSD.

Installing FreeBSD using a PPPoE connection

[asdf]

Does the FreeBSD 6.2 installer support a network install over an ethernet 
interface
connected to a DSL modem using a PPPoE connection?

I am switching ISPs from a cable-based provider to a DSL-based provider and 
would
like to install FreeBSD on an old PC to set it up as a router/firewall for my 
home
network. And since this old PC does not have a CD-ROM drive I'd like to a 
network
install using PPPoE.

But I haven't been able to find any current information on how to accomplish 
this.
There used to be an (unofficial) page by Randy Pratt:

"Installing FreeBSD Using PPPoE":


but it's no longer there.

Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

man bash, section INVOCATION:
   A  login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or
   one started with the --login option.

   An interactive shell is one started without  non-option  arguments  and
   without the -c option whose standard input and error are both connected
   to terminals (as determined by isatty(3)), or one started with  the  -i
   option.   PS1 is set and $- includes i if bash is interactive, allowing
   a shell script or a startup file to test this state.

...

   When an interactive shell that is not a login shell  is  started,  bash
   reads  and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists.  This
   may be inhibited by using the --norc option.  The --rcfile file  option
   will  force  bash  to  read  and  execute commands from file instead of
   ~/.bashrc.

Ssh is a login shell.

For most practical uses:
cat ~/.bashrc >> ~/.bash_profile && rm -f ~/.bashrc
and live happily ever after.

About five or seven years ago when sendmail was having a lot of
security problems and people were looking for alternatives, qmail was
reasonably well established and was widely recommended. So a lot of
people switched to it (including the place where I now work),
including several Linux distros. We were never very happy with it
here, and I suspect that the reason it has such a following in the
Linux world is either that they have never used an alternative (same
reason Windows has so many fans), or to abandon it and move to
something else would cause a sort of cognitive dissonance that
prevents it from happening.

For those people I recommend Courier.  It was designed to be a drop-in
replacement for Qmail, but without most of the flaws. The
configuration files, for instance, are mostly the same. The biggest
problem I've had when configuring Courier is that it tends to be
overly determined to enforce RFC compliance and thus will not be
friendly toward a lot of mail from various MS products. Find the
configuration flag that turns off that behavior or users will complain
about the results. The author makes a reasonable case for the default
behavior (to do otherwise forces Courier to be non-compliant itself),
but in the real world you have to be able to accept mail from MS
products.

I have used Courier at my previous job (about 200 users) and at home
and I have no significant complaints. If you just need a basic server
that will handle your personal email without requiring you to learn
what amounts to a new programming language (as with Exim and a few
others), it's a good choice. The full distribution includes a POP/IMAP
server and a webmail system. Just be sure not to skip the README file,
and follow the instructions for testing your installation
step-by-step. I have NOT tried to set up intensive anti-spam measures
on Courier, so I don't know what problems may be in store there, but
I'm sure there is info at http://www.courier-mta.org

I'm not really as evangelistic for Courier as I sound. As long as you
stay away from Qmail you will probably be happy with whatever you use.
I do recommend that you use something that supports Maildir style
mailboxes, though.

SSH runs bash as a login shell and in that mode, bash doesn't execute 
.bashrc (see man 1 bash).


One solution is to put the following in ~/.bash_profile.
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc

Because .bashrc is not loaded by login shells.  Read the manpage of
bash(1) for more details, and make sure you pay A LOT of attention
to the ``INVOCATION'' section:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads
and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that
file exists.  After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that
order, and reads and executes commands from the first one
that exists and is readable.  The --noprofile option may be
used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.

When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if
that file exists.  This may be inhibited by using the --norc
option.  The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and
execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.

> But if in the bash session I type «bash» this time the .bashrc is use.

Yes.  This is no longer a login shell.  It's merely an interactive
shell, so bash ignores .bash_profile and reads .bashrc instead.

> How can I make the .bashrc file is read when I connect by ssh ?

My preferred setup uses both files.

The .bash_profile file acts solely as a 'delegation script', which loads
all my preferences from .bashrc.  The full contents of my .bashrcc file
are something like this:

test -f ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc
true

All my preferences, options, environment variables, and other bash
configuration is stored in ~/.bashrc.

This way both login shells and interactive shells use precisely the same
environment.

What does the top of dmesg (generated during boot) tells you about the

SSE should be supported. It says:

What they are trying to do is reduce the chance that a SM will
create a system where anyone in the world can upload stuff and
then, without any checking of the stuff, anyone in the world
can download it.Eg.  They are trying to force you to at least
notice the file before making it available for download.

This is to reduce the incidence of evil minded creatures using your
machine for their despicable plots of distributing dangerous files
and software around the net.

So, what you are supposed to do is make two separate directories - 
one for upload and one for download.   Then you check each uploaded
file for mal-ware before moving it to the download space with
the needed permissions.   You can use the same directory, but do
not leave out the step of checking the file content before setting
permissions to allow download.

But, it is better to use separate directories so people doing a 
download don't have to wade through the swamp of uploaded, and
not approved/checked stuff.

Of course, some people will point out that FTP is on the outs now
anyway and will recommend other ways of doing things.  Pay attention
to that.   But, sometimes FTP still fills a need.

Re: Canon A620, FreeBSD and gphoto2

[Erin McNew]

Thank you for the suggestions.  I did try mounting the camera, but since I
had to use gphoto2 in linux, I figured I'd probably need to do so in freebsd
as well.  It gave me the message saying it required a block device.

I do not quite know what you mean about switching my camera to PTP mode.  I
did not need to do anything special under Linux, but I will google a bit to
see what I can figure out related to that.

I will look into your suggestions a bit more closely tonight when I get back
home.

If I'm understanding your explanation correctly, the fact that my camera is
showing up as ugen0 instead of usb0 is not a problem, correct?

Thanks!

I haven't seen enough production FreeBSD systems set up by others to have
any impressions about whether Linux admins are more likely to use Qmail
than FreeBSD admins.  I do get the impression, however, that the Linux
admins who choose Qmail tend to do so for much the same reason that MS
Windows admins choose Exchange: they think it's easier, that setting it
up is just a plug-and-play, point-and-click sort of exercise.  The fact
that it's sending and receiving emails within a couple hours (starting
from a clean box) seems to be the sum total of their metric for ease of
setup, and all the hassle and annoyance that follows doesn't even enter
into it.

Just as MS Exchange basically requires its own admin, but nobody cares
for purposes of judging how "easy" it is as long as the thing is
minimally running within a couple hours, Qmail is an invitation for
disaster -- but nobody cares as long as they can judge it by its security
and stability statistics in a default (if essentially useless)
configuration, and as long as they can configure it via some kind of
point-and-click web interface.  That's my experience, anyway.

If Qmail is more common among Linux admins, I tend to guess Webmin
probably is as well.

The idea here is to stop your FTP server being used as a warez site.  So
the script kiddies cannot upload their cracked software and dubious
copies of this that and the other and then send all their little friends
along to download that stuff from you.  Leave a mis-configured FTP
server on the net and it will be discovered and used for this purpose
within a week or so.

The best approaches are these:

  i) Don't use FTP at all.  FTP is an archaic protocol, hard to firewall
correctly and that sends passwords across the net in plain text.  The
secure version 'FTPS' is not supported by the ftpd in the base system.
Instead consider such things as SFTP (which is an SSH client which
behaves like FTP), WebDAV over HTTPS (HTTP PUT) or a form based upload
CGI script (HTTP POST), rsync over SSH. etc.

 ii) If you have to use FTP, then create individual user FTP accounts
so you have some accountability as to who is doing what.  Run the FTP
service in a chroot or jail and make sure the FTP password file is
distinct from the normal password file.

iii) If you have to provide incoming anonymous FTP then don't
automatically make any uploaded files available for download.  Task a
person with reviewing what was uploaded and then moving it into an
appropriate place in your filesystem where it can be downloaded from.
Again, be sure to run FTP chroot'ed or jailed.

Cheers,

Matthew

Actually, if you just issue "gphoto2 --list-cameras", you will see:

I can't think of a way to be automatically notified, so you would need
to check the file periodically.  cron is a good way if you're not
checking too often; otherwise you're better off with a daemon (a

Hi,

Have you seen the manual for ftpd(8)? It's available at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ftpd

You can change the flags passed to ftpd in your inetd.conf (if you 
enabled ftpd this way) or in rc.conf (which is another, but different 
way to do it). If you don't know these config files, see the respective 
manuals.

Roundcube has an interesting Macalike interface (Mac users love it) but
it has it's problems.  For one thing it doesen't display properly on
many web browsers.  Unfortunately, with webmail interfaces, you have
to pick the problems you want to deal with, none of them are without
warts.

Arrogance is in the eye of the beholder, my friend.

Lots of people think the current President of the US is an
arrogant SOB.  Lots of others think the people that think
this are utter morons.

Nope, but it was good for a chuckle.  Thanks!

Perhaps the silence might give you pause to consider?

Very likely no one else considers themselves offended.

Very likely that is because it was obvious to everyone else
that no offense was ever intended.

Very likely because everyone else also assumed that the idea
of permitting non-nuclear states to buy nuclear warheads was
universally regarded as a bad idea, and thus grasped the
mailserver comparison instantly.

Very likely because nobody understands what the problem
is in the first place.  That would include me, by the way.

Now that I read the OP post again, maybe I misunderstood his question...
All in all, problem solved :)

If you have xorg+KDE(or GNOME,xfce,etc..), all you have to do is install the 2 
ports above and you will be able to do what you want. Believe me !

k3d is an excellent app. It will burn ANYTHING. Dvds (any kind), Cds (any 
kind), data, audio,vcd,svcd,dvd movies, etc...

Hello

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Dear list members.

I just wanted to say hi to all of you. My name is Gabriel, and I have  
just been setting up a FreeBSD server at work, having moved from Linux.


There are just a couple of things that aren't working quite as I  
would like, and I was hoping someone might be kind enough to help me  
out. I've been using the FreeBSD handbook, and I must say it is quite  
superb, and makes starting with FreeBSD much easier.


Using sysinstall I enabled anonymous FTP, with uploads allowed in the  
folder /incoming. Uploading works a treat, however the files don't  
have permissions to be downloaded again (by anon user). I know I  
could change this by executing a cron job every two minutes that  
would chmod the files in /incoming. But surely there must be a far  
better way...? The FreeBSD handbook says it doesn't recommend  
allowing anon users to d/load files uploaded anonymously, however I  
would still like to implement this.


I'd be very appreciative for any help.

Best regards

Gabriel Dragffy

RE: RAID Controller Recommendations: ARC-1210 or 9650SE-4LPML

[Johan Hendriks]

Do not go for the adaptec 1210!
I have the same model, and it always give errors on /dev/ad6 

First I thought it was the drive itself but after swapping that one with  
another one still /dev/ad6 errors.
Also swapping ad4 to ad6 /dev/ad6 errors out and freezes the system.

Long story short  it is an unstable product under FreeBSD Current and 6.x

I use a 3ware card now and no problems what so ever.


Regards,
Johan

You're absolutely right !

Of course we do. Sorry if I didn't refer to you answer to Tsu completely. It 
was because i was focused on solving his problem first, but yes, you were 
right from the start. That is exactly what the  monkey audio plugin does.
