Xmodmap (or .xinitrc?) broken after xorg upgrade
About a week ago, I updated my ports, including xorg. Now xmodmap isn't running from ~/.xinitrc like it used to. My .xinitrc is the same as it's been for years, so it includes the lines if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi After some experimenting, I find that if I run $ xmodmap .Xmodmap $ xmodmap .Xmodmap ...twice, as shown, in an xterm after X gets going - then my .Xmodmap takes effect.

In case my recycling attempt is doomed to fail, I would be glad to get a suggestion for similar harware that can be found in France/Europe.

Actually, I think your perception is incorrect here. If you want sendmail-8.14.1 on a FreeBSD 6.x system, then installing it out of ports really is the best and easiest way to go. There's no need to overwrite what the base system installs -- because of the way mailwrapper works, /usr/sbin/sendmail will refer to the ports version automatically. The ports version of sendmail is a pretty seamless drop in for the system version. You don't even need to use the startup scripts the port installs in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Instead, if you add the following to /etc/make.conf you can use the standard /etc/rc.d/sendmail start/stop scripts and all the machinery in /etc/mail for turning .mc into .cf files: SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf MAKEMAP=/usr/local/sbin/makemap Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Investor Alert, Our biggest stock pick to date is Chanaral Resources,Inc. - OTC PINK: CRLR. Chanaral might be the biggest Junior Exploration Stock Pick of 2007 - PERIOD. Call your stock broker or your financial advisor or go online to your favorite online broker and add CRLR immediately. Chanaral Resources, Inc. is becoming a significant independent presence in the multi-million dollar iron exploration and production market. As the demand for steel skyrockets, emerging markets like China and India are putting companies like Chanaral in a huge position for explosive growth. CRLR is very thinly traded right now so it can be extremely volatile - we are expecting this one can go to 2.50 by Friday of this week and up to 4.00 in the next 30 days. Make sure you do your own research and use limit orders if you choose to trade it!! At the time of this writing it is at 1.01 per share. This is why we believe CRLR could see huge upside in the near term: CRLR has started an aggressive media investor relations campaign and will soon be featured in numerous publications and venues and CRLR has incredible news out, the appointment of Carl O. Windels as chairman of its advisory board. Mr. Windels has 39 years experience as a Geophysicist and has been involved in major explorations projects in North and South America, Australia and Europe. - Though CRLR has a market cap of approximately USD Value of 168,000,000.00 (at the time of this printing), we are convinced that CRLR is strongly undervalued!

Why? I can afford the time to start/stop sendmail here and there, but I have to schedule the maintenance window to upgrade this particular machine. I see.

So where do I find that? I took those instructions from previous FreeBSD Security announcements against sendmail. The process is described in `/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/FREEBSD-upgrade', but it takes a certain amount of experience with CVS and merging. Even if you don't really want to use CVS to merge the changes yourself, the list of build/install/runtime infrastructure files near the end of this file will prove veery useful. Quoting from a recent copy: % The following files make up the sendmail build/install/runtime % infrastructure in FreeBSD: % % Makefile.inc1 % bin/Makefile % bin/rmail/Makefile % contrib/sendmail/ % [...] You are also missing some parts of Sendmail above, like: /usr/src/bin/rmail /usr/src/usr.bin/vacation /usr/src/etc/sendmail rmail - 99% of delivery is procmail, but good point. vacation - Not used etc/sendmail - I don't use default mc's, and don't mind running older cf's on a newer version. The change between 8.13 and 8.14 wasn't enough for us to need to. Interesting bits of that list are: lib/libmilter/Makefile lib/libsm/Makefile lib/libsmdb/Makefile lib/libsmutil/Makefile libexec/mail.local/Makefile libexec/smrsh/Makefile usr.bin/vacation/Makefile usr.sbin/editmap/Makefile usr.sbin/mailstats/Makefile usr.sbin/makemap/Makefile usr.sbin/praliases/Makefile usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile usr.sbin/mailwrapper/Makefile For future upgrades of Sendmail, it would probably be a good idea to upgrade the libraries *first* and only when you are done building the new libraries to install everything. It may be possible to build everything with MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='/usr/obj', and install in one go when you are done with everything, but that's something you should probably experiment a bit with -- preferrably in a test machine, before you do the same on a live system.

Change this in /etc/ssh/whichever ssh config file it is OR you could alternately decide that root logins are *the spawn of satan's loins* via ssh, and do something different. Specifically, if you add your local user account to the wheel group then you can su to root. vi /etc/groups Add yourself to wheel (which is the root group on FreeBSD, a name I believe it inherited from earlier BSDs, but I've no idea what the justification for choosing 'wheel' is; any BSD historians here - you'd be welcome to let us know!) Tada! If you need root logins for something like a running process that wants to communicate via several computers as root, then I assume that: a) your program's broken ;) b) you wouldn't be using putty.

Xen howto: inexplicable Kernel image does not exist error

Install on new INTEL motherboard, can't find ATA devices

The machine can boot from the disk drive, but then after the kernel is up-and-running - it can't find the drive to mount the root file system. It seems this board has 8 SATA connectors; so I'm guessing that they comprise the first 8 drives.. and the older ATA line is the 9th (or more.) So - I ran out to the store and bought a SATA drive Sure enough, if I plug it into the proper SATA connector - it shows up as drive ad0. Phew - I think.. I can do a clean install and just be done with this. But - after the kernel boots (the 6.2-RELEASE install CD), and I start to install things.. it wants to pick a media... and, I pick CD/DVD... FreeBSD promptly tells me it can't find any CD (which is on the legacy ATA line.) I'm sure this has got to be something that is known - but I can't seem to find my answer with a web-search...

Re: oflag option in GNU dd - equivalent in FreeBSD dd ?
In the last episode (Oct 22), Juri Mianovich said: I am used to using this command in Linux, using GNU dd: dd if=/blah of=/bleh oflag=append conv=notrunc The problem is, FreeBSD 'dd' does not understand the oflag argument. Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ? Why not cat /blah /bleh ? dd is usually used on raw device nodes, and appending doesn't make sense there. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipfw keep-state + IPv6 on FreeBSD 7
Hello, I'm having problems with ipfw + IPv6 keep-state rules, if I use a keep-state rule on IPv6 it will only work intermittently (eg. I can connect to an FTP site with IPv6 and start to grab a file, but it will stall after a few seconds). I am using deny all by default on ipfw, my ruleset is as follows (em0 is my external interface): add check-state add allow all from any to any via lo0 add allow all from any to any out via em0 keep-state The keep-state works fine for IPv4 traffic, but IPv6 traffic connectivity will only work intermittently with the above ruleset.

can't upgrade - catch-22
I posted this about a month ago, but haven't heard anything, so I'm
trying again:
When trying to re-install ruby on my system, I receive this error:
On FreeBSD before 6.2 ports system unfortunately can not set default
X11BASE by itself so please help it a bit by setting
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in make.conf.
On the other hand, if you do wish to use non-default X11BASE, please
set variable USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE.
However, even if I edit /etc/make.conf and add either
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} or X11BASE=/usr/X11R6, I still get this
error.
Any suggestions or recommendations on how to get ruby installed? I
think once I have that installed, I should be able to get port-upgrade
fixed and then maybe be able to get some patches downloaded... I would
really appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Well, your DNS needs to be authoritative for both forward and reverse.
If you are trying to do this for less then a /24 block the zone files
get messy quick because of the 8bit boundaries. You seem to be trying
to do this for a /16. I'll bet you're missing the named.conf entries

Odds are you'll want to have zones:

notify yes;
}
zone 255.30.172.in.addr.arpa {
;; or slave config since you'll have more than 1 ns
type slave;
file slave/255.30.172.in.addr.arpa;

}
Or some larger splits of that.

I'm not a sh or bash syntax expert, but isn't this a standard fork
bomb type command? If so, it should be possible to mitigate it with
sensible login tunings set in login.conf (in this particular case, I
think maxprocesses is the one to focus on).
Executing this command on my workstation does not result in any
(noticeable) bad side effects under sh or bash login shells - just
notifications of Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable as
the max process limit is hit.

Re: oflag option in GNU dd - equivalent in FreeBSD dd ?

Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ? Why not cat /blah /bleh ? dd is usually used on raw device nodes, and appending doesn't make sense there. I have a long, boring (but good) reason that I can't use 'cat'. I need to use 'dd'. The syntax above will work perfectly if I use GNU dd, but I'd like to simplify the setup and use the built-in n'dd' if possible.

Re: Want to upgrade sendmail in next OS release

Actually, I think your perception is incorrect here. If you want sendmail-8.14.1 on a FreeBSD 6.x system, then installing it out of ports really is the best and easiest way to go. There's no need to overwrite what the base system installs -- because of the way mailwrapper works, /usr/sbin/sendmail will refer to the ports version automatically. The ports version of sendmail is a pretty seamless drop in for the system version. You don't even need to use the startup scripts the port installs in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Instead, if you add the following to /etc/make.conf you can use the standard /etc/rc.d/sendmail start/stop scripts and all the machinery in /etc/mail for turning .mc into .cf files: SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf MAKEMAP=/usr/local/sbin/makemap Cheers, Matthew Agree completely as I've been doing that for the last couple of years at a smallish ISP. Never a problem. And the install script tells you how to update the 'mailwrapper'. It will also let you set options for other MTAs and not modify programs that call sendmail, which will then use the MTA of your choice. The mailwrapper is a nice concept. As to the OP's worry [in the original post not included here] was the concern about shutting down the system when doing this. Certainly it would problematic if he built from the system as in an OS upgrade, but for an application such as sendmail that's not needed. If he uses the ports and modifies the mailwrapper correctly, after that all he has to do is restart sendmail. That means his MTA will be down for only a very few seconds, depending upon the speed of the machine. On a fast machine it may be totally transparent.

user ppp and PPPoE bridging
I'm attempting to change a DSL link from using PPPoE in the DSL modem to doing PPPoE on 6.1, with the modem in bridging mode. I've put the DSL modem in bridging mode, and it brings up the link properly -- or at least it reports it as up (DSL led steady; modem status report shows it as up, rfc 1483. Using user ppp, when I attempt to establish the PPPoE connection, I never get very far -- ppp dies when it tries to acquire carrier. I don't understand this, as there isn't a carrier signal to acquire on an ethernet. I tried disabling cd in ppp.conf but as noted in the doc, it's required for a PPPoE connection and is forced on. Also, how do I know know which interface it is attempting to connect to? The debug log shows it found five interfaces, but doesn't indicate which one it is trying to connect to.

Then, just download the latest RELEASE install CD, burn it and following the Handbook, do an install. It is structured a little differently and some names are different. What Microsloth calls primary partitions are 'slices' in BSD and then slices are further divided in to partitions on which you build file systems.

I don't see what you are getting at here, why would Ultradns return A-records for slashdot.org when they don't provide that domains DNS? but if you're asking why it doesn't provide A-records for the domain's nameservers, then presumably it's because the nameservers themselves are using a different TLD. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I see ultradns failing to return A records for slashdot.org and openoffice.org as well others. Is anyone else seeing this? No, but I use dig, not dnsstuff. Are the missing records visible by: dig slashdot.org @ns1.ostg.com dig openoffice.org @ns1.collab.net Dig works here as to be expected. Not a problem. ...? I don't see why ultradns.net would be involved...? Because dnsstuff is the only service where I can see the full path of the query. Dig does not show me how/where it queries, it simply provides the answer. I cannot see the output of the +trace command due to my network. I think it is an ultradns issue because they are the only TLD server that doesn't return a SOA record. I am thinking, maybe dangerous, that our client's AD install doesn't handle a query response properly for that reason. One look at my DNS logs tells me AD is rarely configured properly.

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
