Stupidly using the wrong tag (tag=.), I erroneously but successfully installed the CURRENT version. I could have used SYSINSTALL for the RELEASE 6.2 ports, but for the sake of learning and training myself I did not. You used the right tag. There is only a current tag as you only have a current ports tree to be used for all releases ie 6.2,6.3 7.0 (The ports might work with older releases too). Wrong. The ports tree is not branched, but it is tagged and it does have tags corresponding to each FreeBSD release. So if it's not branched but tagged, what's the difference between the ports tree I get if I use RELENG_4_8 compared to RELENG_7_0 as tags in my ports supfile? None whatsoever. Neither tag is a valid tag for the ports tree, so you will end up with an empty ports tree in either case. If you were instead to use the valid tags RELEASE_4_8_0 or RELEASE_7_0_0 you would get the ports tree that shipped with 4.8-RELEASE or the ports tree that will (barring last minute changes) ship with 7.0-RELEASE respectively. Problem: - I ran CVSup again with the correct tag but though everything in the process looked normal, the map usr/ports remains empty and nor with whereis nor with pkg_xxx any information about ports can be found. You ran cvsup again with the wrong tag. Questions: - What did I do wrong in the process?. Used the wrong tag second time around. - Is cvsup for installation of RELEASE 6.2 ports collection a bad idea anyway (technically) ? No. Although there is no 6.2 ports collection, just CURRENT. Of course there is a 6.2 ports collection. What else would you call the ports tree shipped with FreeBSD 6.2? A snapshot of the ports tree when the release was made. Proces: - I use the recently installed cvsup-without-gui, installed from ports Use csup(1) it's identical to cvsup but no dependencies as it's in base written in C. Not quite identical. There are a couple of features that cvsup(1) has, but which csup(1) does not yet have. To just check out a copy of the ports tree either should work fine though. Features that a newbie wouldn't use. It's also difficult to build cvsup when you don't necessarily have a ports tree. But you do not need a ports tree to install cvsup as a package. In either case csup(1) is not identical to cvsup(1) in functionality even if it can often be used as a drop-in replacement. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

mail from: field question
Hi all, I have a small shell script that does a backup to a usb drive and emails the results to a set of people. The script is triggered from devd (upon drive attachment) and runs as root. The problem is that the mail report is sent from an active system user and not user root. The user the mail is sent from is not referenced in the script. The mail line looks like this: cat $LOGFILE | mail -s backuptousb report [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find this rather confusing since I was expecting the email to be sent by the user running the script. How can this be? A little research told me that this may be because of something called envelope-from, but I found little explanation of what that actually means. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sendmail: exposed root, why?
Hello, From the sendmail documentation: There are always users that need to be exposed -- that is, their internal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade name. Root is an example (which has been exposed by default prior to 8.10). Is there actually any reason why root needs to be exposed? Root is set to an external address in aliases and it really needs to be masqueraded in order to for it to get delivered, but would that cause problems with anything? How do you stop sendmail from doing this, I don't see any directive to NOT expose root, only options to expose other addresses as well.. Perhaps there is a better way to send system mailed logs to an external address that doesn't send them from root? Thanks for any info!

Re: changing the postion of a partion in fdisk
Quoting Aryeh M. Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have my FreeBSD partition as partition 1 and my ntfs as partition 2 but Vista insists that there is no suitable partion to install to (even though the ntfs partition is big enough)... after some research I found that vista absolutely insists that the ntfs partition be partition 1... how do I swap them and/or delete the ntfs one and renumber it so freebsd is in partion slot 2 (with nothing in 1 and then I can use fdisk to make a new slot 1) You can probably just use FreeBSD's fdisk to swap them. Something along the lines of: 1) Verify your backups 2) Boot from a FreeBSD Rescue CD and enter the fixit shell 3) Type fdisk /dev/yourdisk. I'll assume ad0 from this point. 4) Write down the output. All of it. Keep a copy in a safe place (this is actually good practice even if you're _not_ intentionally messing with your partitions). If you're feeling clever and/or lazy you could of course bring up a line printer or a network interface and print the output or copy it to another machine (from which you should then print it), but a file on the local disk will not serve (and a file on the mfsroot will go away as soon as you reboot or if anything unexpected happens, which it usually does). 5) Type fdisk -u /dev/ad0 (or whatever your disk is). Manually enter the numbers (including explicitly setting the start/end sector, etc) for partition 2 as partition 1 and vice versa. Think about which partition you want to mark as active (probably 2, see step 10) and do so. Verify your changes against your printout, then commit them. 6) Type ls /dev/ad0* and verify that you see the devices you expect (including your FreeBSD partitions, probably something like ad0s2[a-d]). 7) Mount your root partition, e.g. mount /dev/ad0s2a /mnt. If it doesn't mount then abort. Run fdisk again and change the values back to what they were initially. 8) Edit your fstab to update the slice numbers. e.g. vi /mnt/etc/fstab or sed -e s/ad0s1/ad0s2/g /mnt/etc/fstab /mnt/etc/fstab.new followed by a sanity check and a couple mv commands. 9) Unmount your root partition, e.g. umount /mnt. 10) Reboot and verify that your FreeBSD installation is still alive. 11) Carry on... This information comes with no warranty. :) JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: jail on ZFS - Unable to mount devfs
hi patrick, If I remember correctly there was no password file for in the jail. I think you have to rerun a certain command. Of course I do not remember the command :( The command should create the master password database. using the ServiceJail model, after populating the jail skeleton and running mergemaster, the two commands i run are, /usr/bin/cap_mkdb /j/jSKEL/etc/login.conf /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -d /j/jSKEL/etc -p /j/j/etc/master.passwd which should take care of that. Also you have to run within in the jail newaliases to create the aliases file, do a touch /etc/fstab to stop complaints about unable to read mountpoints. hm. i did not do that this time around. i'd built my jail-world with *both* NO_MAILWRAPPER=true NO_SENDMAIL=true, so i mayhave caused myself a problem. rather than cp'ing bins, tobe safe, i'll just rebuild world ... and see in a bit if that helps. thanks.

Then, still using the fixit, use dump/restore to copy the contents of the FreeBSD filesystems over. Assuming the major slices are ad0s1 and ad0s2, then something like: mkdir /oldroot mount /ad0s1a /oldroot mkdir /newroot mount /ad0s2a /newroot cd /newroot dump 0af - / | restore -rf - That will get the root partition/filesystem. Do appropriately similar for the rest of the FreeBSD filesystems. Note that while in fixit, the running root (/) is in a memory filesystem which will go away after you reboot. So, those mount points you create (oldroot, newroot, etc) are temporary. Then use a utility such as gparted (freely downloadable as ISO) to convert the #1 slice into NTFS and install Vista there. You might be able to get FreeBSD's fdisk to do the convesion to NTFS, but I have never tried that. You would have to know the code number for it. jerry - -- Aryeh M.

There is no directive, but you can edit the resultant .cf file
and remove the line

or root from that line if more than one user.
Be warned, you _will_ break /etc/crontab and periodic scripts mail delivery.
The reason it needs to be exposed is probably these scripts because
other wise the from address for daily security scripts will be

that most of these e-mails have the machine name in the subject or what not.

No -- that's pretty much the way of it unless the rc file

You need to do more than just rename the file though -- you will
need to change the line:

to say

sshd2_enable=YES
sshd2_flags=-f /etc/ssh/sshd2_config
to /etc/rc.conf -- assuming you're happy to use the same keys as
for the other sshd instance that's pretty much all that's necessary.
In the general case though you'ld have to do a sweep through the
file and change any variables from sshd_foo to sshd2_foo -- usually
there are a number of references like that, and /etc/rc.d/sshd is
quite unusual in not having them.

Actually, you should to a full update of the OS and ports tree at the same time and then build and install all the system before installing the ports.It doesn't actually take very long any more on recently built 1,000+ MHz hardware which is so much faster than in the good old days of 80 MHz CPUs. jerry Willem Hendriks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to compile and install a new driver [for CP2101]
I thought a number of people would be interested in my experience with the CP2101 driver on FreeBSD, so here it is: -- Forwarded message -- From: Steve Franks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Dec 25, 2007 4:41 PM Subject: Re: usb/119002: add ucp driver support To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sucess! I have built and proven that the ucp.ko driver works with all my various work and hobby projects using the Silicon Laboratories CP2101, CP2102, and CP2103 devices. There are alot of other off-the-shelf OEM devices using this chipset, which allow for different VID's PID's (see the patch file) - I was obviously unable to test them as I only have the manufacturer's reference design style hardware, but there is no way to modify the operation of the chipset except for the VID PID, so I assume they will work fine if FreeBSD recognizes the VID PID - not a usb expert. Test was performed with Minicom talking to /dev/cuaU0; after kldload ucp, plugging in a CP210x yields ucom0 in dmesg, and cuaU0 in /dev. I think my earlier problem was due to the patch mucking the system - if run from /usr/src/sys, it doesn't create the modules/ucp folder like it should, don't know why. Here's what I did that worked: 1. /usr/src/sys/dev/usb# patch ~/ucp-0.01.diff 2. /usr/src/sys/dev/usb# mkdir /usr/src/sys/modules/ucp 3. /usr/src/sys/dev/usb# mv Makefile /usr/src/sys/modules/ucp 3a. Once you have proven it works, you might want to remove the -DEBUG line from this makefile (I did up front, never tested with debug symbols/code on my system) 4. manually edit /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs to fix the patch collision and add all the new lines (specifically vendor SILABS 0x10c4 Silicon labs) 5. manually edit /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile to add the line: ucp \ after the line ucom \ 6. build install kernel Incidentally, since I cvsup'd to clean up my previous mess, I am now on 6.3-xxx, but I don't think that was a factor in making it work. Also, note that step 5 is not in the diff file at all for some reason, as opposed to step 4 which simply didn't patch in automatically.

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?
Andrew,
I just set up VMWare Fusion with FreeBSD and have a problem that
might be related. Ascii art time:

|___|
The pointer appears normally on the screen. However, clicking around
the screen does not work except in a small area in the top left
corner. Moving the mouse within this tiny corner seems to scale up
and operate on the entire screen. Eg. if I click and drag across the
tiny corner, I can see the selection appear across the entire desktop.
Is this similar to your issue? Did you find a resolution?
Sam,
I ran into this problem on FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 with Xorg 7.3 using the
VMWare mouse driver (vmmouse).
Apparently, X server 1.4.0 in Xorg 7.3 no longer calls the conversion_proc
function in the mouse driver. The VMWare mouse driver depends on that
call to scale the mouse coordiates to the screen size.
As a workaround, I fetched the x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse port and
patched src/vmmouse.c by hand before installing it:

I'd like to learn the correct procedures, but I'm concerned I'll miss steps or take steps out of order. Try the FreeBSD handbook. It is online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ You should always look through that and the FAQs and search for other online publications before posting basic questions. It is all documented copiously. For this, the section: 23.4.1 The Canonical Way to Update Your System Will cover it simply. Unfortunately, the Handbook has not been updated to replace the old CVsup with the current csup. But, csup functions the same and you can just follow the old directions. This is a process for updating from one release to another, but you should do all of this with a new install if you are doing the install some amount of time after the release. That is needed to get the latest security fixes and to make sure the latest ports are in line with the OS. The basic process is to first make a backup unless this is a new install - when you have nothing to lose. Do the csup.I will include a typical supfile to use at the end. The csup command is as follows assuming supfile is in /etc/supfile_62 csup -g -L 2 /etc/supfile_62 Then reboot to single user. You might want to run this all underscript(1) to get a file full of all the messages and commands in case something fails. You can never follow it on the screen. Then, do: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel exit script # reboot to single user Then: Start another script # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot exit script A useful supfile to use with csup -- assuming Version 6.2 RELEASE This will get just the RELEASE and not current or stable which is better if you are just learning. Current and stable are for those wanting the far edge. I put my supfile in /etc/supfile_version.

Hello,
From the sendmail documentation:
There are always users that need to be exposed -- that is, their

The `root' user is no longer exposed, so the really *imporant* question
is ``why are you still running Sendmail 8.10?''
There is no directive, but you can edit the resultant .cf file
and remove the line

The expose directives were part of the default OSTYPE and DOMAIN macros:
OSTYPE(freebsd6)

NFS is a stateless protocol, except insofar as rpc.lockd in theory provides lockf/flock style locking over the network-- yet Samba/CIFS wants to allow extensive use of client side opportunistic locking, which means that Samba really, really wants to run off of a local filesystem. Yes, I agree, locking is a serious problem. The whole thing runs with Linux NFS servers for a couple of month now (though I want to migrate to OSX NFS servers), and I introduced fake oplocks = yes in smb.conf some month ago (which obviously improved stability) and did also some experimenting with the -L-option of mount_nfs. Thank you very much for reply!

From the sendmail documentation:
There are always users that need to be exposed -- that is, their
internal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade
name. Root is an example (which has been exposed by default prior
to 8.10).
The `root' user is no longer exposed, so the really *imporant* question
is ``why are you still running Sendmail 8.10?''
He isn't. That's a direct quote from /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README
as supplied with RELENG_7 -- ie. sendmail 8.14.2. It says that root
being a member of Class E has been the default ever since at least
sendmail 8.10. That is still the case:
/etc/mail:% grep 'C{E}' freebsd.cf
C{E}root
/etc/mail:% uname -r
7.0-PRERELEASE
and in fact, the OP's point was that the sendmail.mc macros which
exist for manipulating Class E don't let you *remove* the entry for
root. It seems the official way to do that is to define your own
DOMAIN() configuration -- starting by copying and editing
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/generic.m4 looks like the way to go.
Cheers,
Matthew

Thanks for your help. You could get the latest sources with svcup, and do a make, make install in ^ /usr/src/games/fortune Is that a new one on me or do you mean 'cvsup' -- which has been replaced with 'csup'? That would be the recommended way to update your ports tree. You want to use the directive: ports-all tag=. in your supfile to pull in the latest ports tree - which is the only one since it is not branched like the main OS. Actually, you should to a full update of the OS and ports tree at the same time and then build and install all the system before installing the ports.It doesn't actually take very long any more on recently built 1,000+ MHz hardware which is so much faster than in the good old days of 80 MHz CPUs. jerry cvsup, sorry typo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
