I remember a case where delayed replies from the DNS server were logged by the kernel creating noise and bloating the logs. Ofcourse YMMV... But we basically say the same thing...

Re: Two questions about UNIX(r) certification.
If I recall correctly, only the i386 version of Leopard is Unix certified, so if you're still using a PowerPC, you're out of luck for upgrading to a Unix certified operating system. But I believe a previous version was if you'd like to downgrade. As far as I know, Unix certification is more about interoperability than anything else, but there's still the public perception about security and stability. For Apple, it's probably more about bragging rights and propaganda than anything else.

Re: Updating Ports
RW writes: 3) It is possible to put port-related settings in /etc/make.conf. I discourage this, as that file gets used for /every/ make session and I consider it asking for trouble to clutter it with items that may accidentally overlap with another port. (The risk is very small ... but it's still not the right tool for the job.) People tend argue that the other way around, that putting port build settings in a configuration file that's specific to a single tool is wrong. And I agree in part. On the other hand, how many use multiple configuration tools? If there were something that applied to _every_ port - say a compiler flag - I'd probably be OK with putting it in make.conf. You don't have to set anything globally in make.conf, you can do it like this: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/net-mgmt/net-snmp} WITH_TKMIB=yes .endif That looks good. and that can be simplified by using portconf, which puts a single line in make.conf and reads in the settings from its own configuration file.

Re: Postfix woes
snip This insanity has nothing to do with Postfix, if you can't find the cron jobs, start scripts, management agents, ... that are doing this, go back the FreeBSD list and ask for help to find them. Aloha, I run Postfix/Dovecot under FreeBSD 7* since Jan 2007. I had trouble with postfix by itself on FreeBSD when I first set up a mail server. I then had one of the FreeBSD gurus on the list suggest I run Dovecot to make postfix behave nicely on FreeBSD. That solved my problems. If you havent tried this FreeBSD Postfix/Dovecot based install it may work for you. Also if you are running Dovecot remember just start it in /etc/rc.conf you dont need to start postfix in there as well. If you are just running Postfix you have to start it in /etc/rc.conf I strongly suggests the OP sorts his Postfix problems first, then move on. Installing more software that you are not experienced with woulod hardly help.

It is not strictly necessary to rebuild all ports, but I would recommend it and if you start to install any new ports then you should rebuild all the old ones first. Having some ports linked against 6.x libraries while some are linked against 7.x libraries can very easily lead to problems. (If one of your old ports (linked against 6.x libraries) provides some library which is used by one of the new ports (using 7.x libraries) then the new port can end up using two version of the same system library - both the 6.x version and the 7.x version.

Depending on exactly how and when (and from where) a process is started this might not work, but is probably the best that can be done without hacking the kernel source code. A process normally inherits the environment from its parent process. When a process calls some of the exec(3) functions to start a new program it can also provide a completely new environment which can be completely independent of the parent's. The settings in login.conf(5) only (AFAICT) affects processes whose ancestry can be traced back to a login(1) instance, and where the environment hasn't been changed along the way. This should cover most of the processes you are interested in but perhaps not quite all of them. If you really want *all* processes to have a certain environment variable set to a given value you will have to modify the execve(2) system call.

He said, simple, remark out postfix_enable=YES in your rc.conf. I did. Problem solved. Now I have neither postfix_enable, or sendmail_enable in my rc.conf, and everything boots without a hitch. This, of course, flies in the face of everything that I have heard or read about configuring this program. When I asked what was starting the program if those entries were no longer operating he said the shell script contained in rc.d. I need to give this a rest.

how to enable touchpad for DELL Latitude 100L laptop
Installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a DELL Latitude 100L laptop but cannot get its touchpad configured. By searching the handbook, it looks like PSM is the device for the touchpad, so enabled verbose during the boot and see some errors for psm0: kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0:current command byte:0065 psm0: the aux port is not functioning (-1) atkdbc: atkbdc0 already exists: skipping it That is all messsage for the psm0, which is in turn not being configured. Then, I tried this laptop under Windows XP and the touchpad works fine. Is touchpad not the device psm? or something else I need to enable to configure the touchpad?

flash drive question -- can it be incompatible with FreeBSD
Hi everybody, While looking for a new USB flash drive, I found that some of them come with: - U3 feature - ReadyBoost feature - security software, either pre-installed or zipped on the drive - hardware data encryption Some of them need partitioning/formatting. My question is: is there anything that would prevent me from using such drives on FreeBSD machine? Google shows that U3 can be uninstalled. What about other features? Thank you in advance.

ATM DSL - Firewall - Lan How to configure?
Aloha, Anybody on this list know of a how to for configuring a firewall for a 5 IP ATM DSL? I know that the firewall has to come between the DSL modem and the Switch/router for the 5 IP's assigned. However the gateway IP must be able to be seen through the firewall in order for the ATM circuit to work. So you cant use addresses for the nics. Is there a way to use incoming and outgoing nic cards in a firewall FreeBSD box for this purpose.

It is not strictly necessary to rebuild all ports, but I would recommend it and if you start to install any new ports then you should rebuild all the old ones first. Having some ports linked against 6.x libraries while some are linked against 7.x libraries can very easily lead to problems. (If one of your old ports (linked against 6.x libraries) provides some library which is used by one of the new ports (using 7.x libraries) then the new port can end up using two version of the same system library - both the 6.x version and the 7.x version. This will almost certainly not work correctly.) Thank you for the info, I think I'll rebuild my ports.

KDEWallet is only partially installed?
Hiya folks! On my Sun (this machine), I only wanted a base KDE with very few apps installed, as I wanted to choose the ones I needed instead of going with the big meta-port. So I just installed kde-base. The whole KDE wouldn't be run anyway, but instead usually only a single apps at a time and these would be displayed on a different computer. Most of that works fine so far. I'm a little fuzzy on KDE-Wallet though. It seems to be installed as other apps (like kopete) use it to save passwords but I can't start (or find for that matter) the manager to manage the stuff in save in the wallet. Is that part of another port that I have to install seperately or am I just missing the point here?

The same fellow is doing the port. I haven't corresponded with him for a while, so I can't really say what the current status is. Quite some time ago the issue was getting VMware to discuss what goes on in their kernel module (IIRC). It would be great if FreeBSD could be a VM-host. Agreed. For me it is the biggest problem with using a FreeBSD desktop. One other sign of hope: there has been intermittent work on a port of VirtualBox. When I checked last, the GUI environment would build.

Re: best way to run vista inside freebsd
I have heard that Win4BSD is really good. Your hearing is not good. Win4BSD is a terrible product when compared with the very old version of VMware. Its only advantage is that you can run it with more than one CPU (namely, APIC is enabled). Win4BSD is less stable, less responsive, and it appears to be dead as far as activity goes. FWIW, in my opinion qemu/kqemu is not particularly good, either. VMs in general are a problem on Free. There is an effort to port the most recent VMware Workstation by a very good man. I do hope this works, because right now things in the VM world on FreeBSD truly are bleak.

Hey, we are saying the same thing, aren't we?

Hm, almost the same thing. I tend to disagree with this. I prefer log_in_vain off because usually a server will live in a DMZ. And most of the time we donot bother runnning local firewalls one each server and some will say it's wrong to do firewalling on each/a server. Some will. And some run only one server, and must be extra paranoid :) Just one firewall protecting the DMZ. Other computing systems living in the DMZ can cause noise, irrelevant log messages. I remember a case where delayed replies from the DNS server were logged by the kernel creating noise and bloating the logs. Ofcourse YMMV... But we basically say the same thing... Use log_in_vain to see what passes your firewall and touches your servers. I prefer to turn it off afterwards, Ian prefers to let it on. Fair enough. I don't see any harm in leaving it on, as I tend to pay attention to any 'irrelevant' messages and fix the source of them, and if something slips by the firewall I want to know about it. Sometimes that means such as delayed responses from DNS being logged, it's true. In Michael's case in point it did indicate a problem though, or at least a deficiency in the lack of handling ident requests. As you say, YMMV.

It's evident that you obviously have some kind of hardware problem. But nobody here on this list can tell what hardware you're using, e.g. - mainboard - CPU - the card in question (as much as possible, including possible chip revisions, bus type etc.) - What devices are connected to the card (as it appears to be a SCSI HBA). The the question is, what software you're using. - What FreeBSD Version (6.0, 6.1, 6.2, latest Patchlevel, 7.0_PRERELEASE...) - Information about your kernel: Is it GENERIC, or did you compile your own? - Are you using i386 or arm64? And finally: - What did you try to resolve this issue? - Did you rule out any hardware related issue, e.g. a broken cable, a connector not being in place properly.

It is not strictly necessary to rebuild all ports, but I would recommend it and if you start to install any new ports then you should rebuild all the old ones first. Having some ports linked against 6.x libraries while some are linked against 7.x libraries can very easily lead to problems. (If one of your old ports (linked against 6.x libraries) provides some library which is used by one of the new ports (using 7.x libraries) then the new port can end up using two version of the same system library - both the 6.x version and the 7.x version. This will almost certainly not work correctly.) Thank you for the info, I think I'll rebuild my ports. I imagine I could then use # portsclean --libclean Shouldn't it remove only libraries from ports? to get rid of those 6.x libraries and have a nice *clean* system. If you want to get a clean system and to get rid of 6.x libraries from base system you may be interested in make delete-old[-libs|-dirs] at /usr/src.

Aloha, I run Postfix/Dovecot under FreeBSD 7* since Jan 2007. I had trouble with postfix by itself on FreeBSD when I first set up a mail server. I then had one of the FreeBSD gurus on the list suggest I run Dovecot to make postfix behave nicely on FreeBSD. That solved my problems. If you havent tried this FreeBSD Postfix/Dovecot based install it may work for you. Also if you are running Dovecot remember just start it in /etc/rc.conf you dont need to start postfix in there as well. If you are just running Postfix you have to start it in /etc/rc.conf ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + + http://internetohana.org - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* + All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

I discourage this, as that file gets used for /every/ make session and I consider it asking for trouble to clutter it with items that may accidentally overlap with another port.

People tend argue that the other way around, that putting port build settings in a configuration file that's specific to a single tool is wrong. You don't have to set anything globally in make.conf, you can do it like this: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/net-mgmt/net-snmp} WITH_TKMIB=yes .endif and that can be simplified by using portconf, which puts a single line in make.conf and reads in the settings from its own configuration file. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Strange perl script

Also, it is completely trivial to change the name shown by ps simply by changing the C equivalent of ARGV[0} which in perl is $0. Run the following and ps shows rubbish (perl) and not foo.prl (perl) foo.prl --- #!/usr/bin/env perl $0=rubbish; sleep 120; $ chmod +x foo.prl $ ./foo.prl $ ps 7274 p1 S 0:00.00 rubbish (perl) bar.prl --- #!/usr/bin/env perl sleep 120; $ perl bar.prl $ ps 7575 p1 S 0:00.00 perl ./bar.prl If sploger really was malware, then it was probably picking some name at random to show in ps.

No, you can't do MAC address based filtering with pf, I think other BSDs can tag frames with particular MAC addresses using if_bridge and then create filtering rules based on tags. But, it's even easier, you can do it with ifconfig when you operate as an AP. Search the ifconfig manual for mac: It can be argued that MAC address filtering enhances security. What I would like to find, if it exists, is an application that I can run on FreeBSD so that there is a user friendly interface to this, vs having someone have to muddle with flat files and reload rules ... Now, I just found 'Chillispot' in ports ... has anyone used this? Is there something else that is better that runs under FreeBSD? Pfsense is FreeBSD based and very user friendly. But it's not something you run on FreeBSD, it's a specialized version of FreeBSD. That said, you *can* ssh to pfsense and control it almost as it were a FreeBSD box. Perhaps you should give it a try, there is a live CD version.

Strange problem of ipfilter
Hallo, I got strange problem ipfilter on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. After uptime my machine running 7 days until 10 days, I can't access DNS, sometime SSH, and etc, to my box, but this happen randomly. For example I've rule like this: # SSH pass in quick on rl0 proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.100/32 port = 22 keep state # DNS pass in quick proto udp from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.100/32 port = 53 keep state Whereis: 192.168.0.0/24 my client block ip, 192.168.0.200/32 ip box running ipfilter. I try to create rule: pass in all pass out all Then reload ipfilter rule. Or I try to restart my machine with my default rule. So everything gone be alright. FYI, I use: root:~# ipf -V ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.13 (416) Kernel: IP Filter: v4.1.13 Running: yes Log Flags: 0 = none set Default: block all, Logging: available Active list: 0 Feature mask: 0xa root:~# uname -srm FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 I do compile ipfilter with default block in kernel configuration.

Whenever I've seen this happening, it is usually some sort of network setup error, broken routing, a misconfigured router in the path between the originating host (outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com) and Sendmail, or something similar.

ccache and DESTDIR for ports?
Hi! I'm installing a small set of ports into lots of jails, using the DESTDIR support recently added to the ports system. Each jail contains a unique CVS revision of FreeBSD. I'd like to speed up compiles by using ccache, but as I understand it, I'll have to install ccache into each jail since the DESTDIR implementation chroot's into the jail. Can I install ccache in each jail first and simply hardlink /somejail/root/.ccache to /root/.cache before continuing compiling the other ports? Or is that asking for trouble, since each jail might have a different gcc installed?
