You're sending from a hotmail.com address, without using a hotmail.com server 
as outgoing mail relay.

Someone who's reading this list (and thus gets your messages delivered, even 
though you're not explicitly sending it to them) is boucing your messages 
because of the SPF record for hotmail.com in place, which lists the outgoing 
mail servers that messages from the hotmail.com-domain is allowed to come 
from (and the one you use isn't among them).

Read up on SPF (Sender Policy Framework) to know what's going on behind the

Ugh, I should have checked your mail headers before posting this. You are 
sending from a hotmail.com server. So, either hotmail has their SPF-records 
misconfigured (which I would guess isn't the case, because lots of people 
would complain in this case), or the final recipients SPF setup on their 
mailserver (mail.163.com) is broken (which I guess is most probably the case

My /home is a GELI encrypted partition. I've never had problems running
scripts from it, although my scripts are usually sh, not csh.=20

What does the script do? Are you running it as root?

 The script displays a bunch of pictures as separate xv(1) windows.  No,
I was running it under my own userid.  It is quite simple:

% cat show
#! /bin/csh
set delay=2
set pixlist=(09 08 07 05 04 03 02 01)
foreach i ($pixlist)
(nice xv $i.jpg )
sleep $delay
end

The delay is simply to ensure the windows get opened in the sequence that
I want them opened.  The photos are in the same directory, and I run it by
typing ./show in the directory.  If I type, for example, xv 01.jpg, it
works fine in either the old location or in the GELI partition.  If I type
./show in the copy of the directory that is in the GELI partition, FreeBSD
reboots immediately.  When it first happened, I thought maybe the machine
had had some other problem, perhaps thermal, although I thought I'd dealt
with its thermal problems.  After it restarted, I thought nothing of it and
typed ./show in the directory in the GELI partition again.  It rebooted
on the spot.  I was shocked, to say the least.
 I may do a little more experimenting the next time I decide to shut
down my tor server, but I doubt I will before then because I hate to crash
the system with a server running.
 Maybe I should try GBDE instead of GELI.  I chose GELI for the 
partition in question mainly because I was already using it for the swap
partition, but maybe it's still a little too green to be reliable yet.

Recommendations? Small Department IM server

2008-02-12 Thread B. Cook
Hello All,

I am looking for an im server that runs on FreeBSD (preferably from ports)
for ~20 people with SSL/TLS.

I see there is jabberd and ejabberd (anything else to consider?)

It seems that ejabberd needs java and all sorts of other things.. and that
jabber needs mysql ;)

Am I missing something here?

I think I should use jabber (usr/ports/net-im/jabberd).

Anyone have anything they would like to share?

Thanks in advance

 Ah.  Okay.  I had set it to 8 KB for better performance.  I'll try
it again with it set to 4 KB.

- fs sector size any than 512 sometimes caused hangs/watchdog reboots
try setting up a kernel with debug-flags and integrated debugger

 Well, that's a hardware feature I can't change.  AFAIK, it's stuck
at 512 bytes/sector on the drive in question.

I've run your script on a batch of photos on a GELI encrypted partition
without problems. This is on FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE amd64

I would look at the X server. Since it runs as root and has access to
/dev/mem and /dev/io an X bug could potentially screw things up quite nicely.
I'm running xorg-server-1.4_4,1.

If you have it installed, try display(1) from the ImageMagick suite
instead of xv. See if it makes any difference.

I presume you've checked for the obvious things such as out of memory or
filesystem full?

  Maybe I should try GBDE instead of GELI.  I chose GELI for the 
 partition in question mainly because I was already using it for the swap
 partition, but maybe it's still a little too green to be reliable yet.
 
I've used it on my /home for years without trouble.

From what I've read, GELI is supposed to be more secure.

  If anyone has seen this happen before, please let me know.

This is absolutely not a common problem, and it's unlikely that the
shell script is the direct cause of the reboots. Are there any messages
written on the console juse before the reboots? Are the reboots actually

 None.

kernel panics? If so, you'll need to track down the messages and report
them
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html),

 The kernel panics I've seen in the past all hung the system cold and
required powering it down in order to reboot it.  The current situation
involves a pause of one or two seconds, followed by a black screen, then
the Dell startup splash screen, and then the screen displayed by my boot
manager, offering a choice of Windows XP or FreeBSD.  It's all very fast.
I'm not at all sure that a final sync(2) is even done.

if not, it's maybe a hardware problem. Is there something unusual about
your hardware?

 I don't think so.  It's a Dell Inspiron XPS w/1 GB of memory, a
Mobility Radeon 9800 card, and several devices attached to USB ports.
The CPU is a 3.4 GHz P4 w/HT enabled in chipset, BIOS, and kernel.
There is also a Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS PCMCIA card in the slot.  There
is no software support for 3D acceleration on the graphics card and no
software support for the sound card.  There is a builtin sound setup for
which there does seem to be some limited software support.

Aloha Matthias,

I am having the same ftp problem on  servers that are on  an ATM 5 IP 
circuit.  There is no NAT involved with one of these. The outbound FTP 
goes out but I cant get the files to list when I go  inbound  from 
outside on an recognized IP.

SSH on the same box works fine.
It would make my day to get this working.

Followup :

I found what the problem was with ftp on my ATM line setup finally.

In order to pass data as Jonathan Horne suggested you have to add a 
special line to identify the ports used passively.


Add the line below to the pf.conf below the ftp port 21   or 8021

pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port 49151

I found this buried in the middle of an  article I searched on PF self

I have a question that I haven't found an answer to in the man pages or

is it only accessable if I restart the torrent? (Keeping in mind the

Unable to write any audio CDs with the current 7.0 (both burncd and cdrecord)

Hi,

Anybody able to write audio CDs with the current 7.0?

I have Pioneer DVDR-112D/1.21 drive.
Burncd breaks for a long while: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/118207

So I used cdrecord from cdrtools-2.01_6 which worked well.
Now command 'cdrecord -v -dao -force dev=1,0,0 speed=4 
driveropts=burnfree *.cdr' finishes but produces unplayable CD.


I tried the older SONY drive and cdrecord produced unreadable CD with it 
too.

  Just to provide a counterpoint to this sweeping generalisation, I browse
  without a Flash player and it's never caused me any problem at all.
 
  There are a few sites which don't work without Flash. Having checked on
  a number of occasions, I've found (and I stress this is a personal
  opinion) that heavy use of Flash is a fairly reliable marker of a site I
  wouldn't be interested in whatever publishing techniques were used.
 
  It's rather like the old saying in the British advertising industry:
  only sing in an ad if you have nothing to say.
 
  How does Flash fit in with accessibility guidelines? In many countries,
  a commercial site which doesn't degrade gracefully when viewed with (eg)
  Lynx may fall foul of legislation protecting people with disabilities
  such as visual impairment.
 
  You know, there are some folks out there who are still using their old
  M32 TTY's, and they can't understand why any folks would need mouses. 
  Those of us who have successfully made the move to the 21st century can
  tell them, but honestly, most of us are very tired of hearing the same
  hoary old excuses why things aren't necessary.  The majority of folks
  doing browsing today aren't impressed that maybe some 3rd world country
  is unhappy with flash sites, they just want their flash sites to work,
  and ours don't.  Why don't they?  Because everytime someone comes up with
  a workable plan, all the real cave-men out there trot out there
  war-stories, and bore us all to death with their memoirs, and endlessly
  recursive arguments.  Everytime they get proven wrong on one item, they
  just move the clock back a few months, grab the previous
  self-justification, and start the argument all back up again.  You can't
  out-last them.
 
  I personally tried to fix things, got soundly beaten to death over it
  (and I WILL NOT try that one again, under pain of death, sorry!).  MY
  flash works here and that's all I will worry about.  I can't predict when
  things will finally improve, maybe when enough folks realize they don't
  have to put up with this.
 
  In short, I think ``half of the entire Web using Flash'' may be a bit of
  an overstatement even if you count Flash ad banners (which frankly I can
  do without), and the small number of Flash-only sites I encounter hasn't
  caused me temporary inconvenience, never mind ``a huge problem''.

 That was a right pretty speech there, and I agree with the sentiments of
 moving forward with technology. However, I disagree that this is merely a
 case backward compatibility. Are you aware that the w3 consortium has web
 accessibility drafting committee?

 Consider also the facts that I have brought forward that Adobe has singled
 out OS's that are not allowed to run Flash Player.

 Consider also the fact that most designers simply use flash because they
 can't design properly and use other more accessible methods to achieve the
 same thing.

 I agree that a fix needs to be found, but this is not a cave man
 mentality, and we're not bringing up old war stories. The fact that this
 has not been all that successful given the larger number of sites now
 designed with flash player 9 which has been the number one problem here. If
 you have a fix I am sure we would all welcome the knowledge and use it- I
 certainly would. I merely point out (hopefully reaching some web designers
 and other flash fans) that flash is not the only way to go, and is
 certainly not preferable.

Let me be the one to point out the (next) controversial thing: here's a 
perfect example why using linux binaries for stuff like this is a dead end.

First you should update this system to 6.3 release.

Also you should post how your interfaces are configured, you can copy and 
paste the output from:

ifconfig -a

You also need to better explain the topology of your network.  For instance 
are all 13 systems on the same subnet?  or are you running multiple subnets 
with a switched backbone?  How many switches are you using?  Are you 
checking the throughput across a LAN segment or across multiple subnet 
segments?

NIS in a jail?

2008-02-12 Thread Eric Osterweil

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hey everyone,

I've been struggling with something, and I'm starting to wonder if  
this is even supposed to work.


I have a 6.2 box (haven't moved to 6.3 yet) running a set of jails,  
and all has been well for quite a while.  I recently tried to get one  
of the jails to be a NIS slave and it seemed to come online and get  
maps OK, but no other servers could use it.  I've set up NIS before,  
so I think I've got that part ok.


Anyway, I tried to make it a master today for other reasons, but also  
so I could repeat the setup process.  In doing so, I tried to change  
it's nisdomainname.  I've found that it wants to use the host's  
nisdomainname instead of its local value (in the jailed rc.conf).   
This made me realize that maybe the problem is more fundamental and  
that this is not supported.


Does anyone have an guidance for me?  My most pressing question is  
can you setup a NIS master or slave in a jail at all?  If yes, then I  
can keep plugging away (help is appreciated).  Maybe I just need to  
have a consistent nisdomainname.  if not, then so be it, at least  
I'll know.

That was a right pretty speech there, and I agree with the sentiments of moving 
forward with technology. However, I disagree that this is merely a case 
backward compatibility. Are you aware that the w3 consortium has web 
accessibility drafting committee?

Consider also the facts that I have brought forward that Adobe has singled out 
OS's that are not allowed to run Flash Player. 

Consider also the fact that most designers simply use flash because they can't 
design properly and use other more accessible methods to achieve the same thing.

I agree that a fix needs to be found, but this is not a cave man mentality, 
and we're not bringing up old war stories. The fact that this has not been all 
that successful given the larger number of sites now designed with flash player 
9 which has been the number one problem here. If you have a fix I am sure we 
would all welcome the knowledge and use it- I certainly would. I merely point 
out (hopefully reaching some web designers and other flash fans) that flash is 
not the only way to go, and is certainly not preferable.

linux program only runs from /compat/linux/usr/lib

2008-02-12 Thread Steve Franks
If I cd to /compat/linux/usr/lib, and start nameless linux app, it
runs fine.  If I start it from any other location, I get
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 : wrong ABI. So the app is finding the
FreeBSD lib instead of the Linux one.  I tried putting
/compat/linux/usr/lib at the very front of my path and it doesn't seem
to fix it.  Brandelf looks correct (SRV4) for both the app, and
fontconfg.so.1.  So, how does FBSD figure out what lib to grab, and
why is it grabbing the wrong one?

Re: Promise RAID array and mounting questions

2008-02-12 Thread Caleb Flynn
I've been using ZFS for several months now and it's been very good.
There were some problems in the beginning which have since been
remedied by using info from the following link:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide

The setup has is 5 x 320GB drives and 5 x 200GB drives both in RAID-Z
configuration and aggregated into 1 pool.

There was a PSU failure which destroyed the motherboard/proc running
this machine and recovery of the array in a new box was amazingly
easy.

 You will not be able to use sysinstall for this, the array is too big.
 You should use gpt instead.

 Do you want the entire array as one partition?
 # gpt create /dev/da0
 # gpt add /dev/da0
 # newfs -O2 -U /dev/da0p1  (or 'newfs -O2 -U -i 524288 /dev/da0p1' if
 you have mostly multi-megabyte files)

 If you want multiple partitions you will have to pass a size (in
 sectors) as a parameter to 'gpt add'.

 Beware that you might not be able to fsck the filesystem because of its
 size. I'm not sure how well gjournal handles fsck of large filesystems.
 Personally I'm going with ZFS for my next large array (8x750GB).

Unfortunately the port doesn't really offer any alternative to using the
port's version of PHP as a dependency.  There isn't really any alternative
way to do that sort of thing given the current structure of PHP in the
ports tree.

You've got two choices, basically.  Either give up on the idea of compiling
your own PHP stuff, or install phpldapadmin outside the ports system.  Given
you've undertaken to maintain your PHP environment without the advantages
provided from ports, maintaining phpldapadmin outside the ports as well
is just a little extra work.

On the other hand, examine well the configuration you've generated for
your custom PHP install -- dollars to doughnuts you could generate something
as near as dammit by a suitable combination of php-related ports and judicious
application of build flags via /etc/make.conf.  Doing it all the ports way
makes the maintenance a lot easier over time.

That is most likely because it is not in your path.

The better thing is to put /usr/sbin in your standard path.

Could someone please help me building this address book, I really need
it but I have no idea how to do it on my own...


LDAP, despite the Lightweight part, is not that easy to understand first 
time, it took me quite some time before I finally got hand of it. There 
is a book from O'Reily on the topic.


One thing I found for an address book, is that you should make sure all 
contacts have:


objectClass: person
objectClass: extensibleObject

The first sets some minimum for the entries, they must be persons. The 
second means that you can add anything you like. Otherwise you will be 
restricted in your choice of attributes depending on how object classes 
nest.


In my case, I have friends on three continents, and I like to have their 
address with country specified.


I can't do that when the extensibleObject is missing, because person or 
inetOrgPerson assumes a hierarchy with country on the top, and that just 
doesn't make sense in my case: Then I have to search differently 
according to country. I need all on the same branch. extensibleObject 
solves that, now I can add the country attribute for each, as well as 
preferred language etc...


Cheers, Erik

Sounds like your path doesn't include /usr/sbin, or /usr/sbin or /usr is 
mounted without exec.


Have you tried executing with the complete path:
/usr/sbin/chown

Hi there.

Dell server running FreeBSD 6.3.

I can see the promise array, it shows us as DA0. The problem is what is

I know that there is a technique for using targets, etc, but I cannot find

Trevor,

I've used promise's hardware in the past.  When I have, I defined the array 
outside FreeBSD.  When I installed FreeBSD it saw the array as just a 
single disk volume, which I partitioned in the sysinstall process.


Do you have the array already created?  What are you seeing in sysinstall 
when you go to partition the volume?

usb devices don't wake up

2008-02-12 Thread Michael S
Good day all,

I got hold of an old Dell laptop and decided to
install FreeBSD on it.
I managed to install it after a few retrials, and this
is due to the installer  not
being able to write out partitions, complaining that
there was no device entry in /dev for the swap
partition.
Now everything works as expected, except after putting
the laptop to sleep with acpiconf -s 3, upon wake up,
the USB devices (network card or flash drive) wouldn't
work anymore.
I tried to restart usbd and devd, and that wouldn't
help.

Anyone has an idea? Here are the dmesg and kernel
config.

Regards,
Michael

Re: projectm questions

Chris Whitehouse wrote:

Hello

Sorry for the long post, this is my first try at installing from source 
and I'm not sure how much info I need to give. I'm trying to get 
projectm (http://projectm.sourceforge.net/) working on FreeBSD. First 
step is install libprojectm. The INSTALL file said install glew, ftgl 
and cmake so I did them from ports. I then ran cmake which ran with no 
errors so I ran make. I got:


In file included from /home/chrisw/Desktop/libprojectM-1.01/MoodBar.cpp:22:
/usr/include/malloc.h:3:2: error: #error malloc.h has been replaced 
by stdlib.h

*** Error code 1

I replaced #include malloc.h with #include stdlib.h in MoodBar.cpp 
and that allowed make to continue.


Question 1: did I break things?

Next I got
Linking CXX shared library libprojectM.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLEW
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/chrisw/Desktop/libprojectM-1.01.

After a bit of poking around I found
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libGLEW.a /usr/lib/libGLEW.a
fixed it. I also had to do
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftgl.a /usr/lib/libftgl.a
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a /usr/lib/libfreetype.a

Well that's alright for a fix but
Question 2: what do I have to do to get that to work automatically?

So the above fixes got libprojectm installed. Next job is install 
projectm itself. README says read INSTALL. INSTALL says

Install libprojectM 1.0 and XMMS, then:

cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE
make
make install

You may need to type ccmake . and change the PREFIX if your system 
prefers /usr instead of /usr/local.


But there is also a file called README~. This has extensive instructions 
which boil down to

./configure
make
make install

Question 3: Which instructions do I use?

However README~ also says I need to firstly install SDL-1.3.0 or later.
Question 4: How do I install this in such a way that it doesn't 
interfere with the installed sdl-1.2 but can be found by projectm in 
/usr/local?

It is definitely fun, but why won't you use www/lighttpd instead?

Lighty is an excellent super fast web server with an extremely small
memory footprint. I fell in love with it a few years ago, and migrated
most Apache-based sites I manage to it, because they don't need all
the extra bells and whistles.

 things got much nicer than using apache+cgi, it's 100 times simpler and 
 faster to have it all in single program
 
 when it will have this tested, i will make cutdown version just to serve 
 static pages, to replace apache in 95% of cases :)

That's exactly where lighttpd excels at: serving static content
very efficiently, even for very high bandwidth sites. ;)

LDAP is a real cool protocol offering a hierarchial directory like

to your GPG keys to address book to email aliases, anything for which
you're able to write a schema. You'll enjoy working with it :)

Install OpenLDAP server (openldap23-{server,client} or 
openldap24-{server,client})
from FreeBSD ports. And follow administrator's guide[1] to setup your
LDAP server. The Building an OpenLDAP address book article [2] at
ONLamp will guide you with setting up address book with OpenLDAP.

And you'll also like to try out phpldapadmin for managing LDAP directory
over web :) .

My /home is a GELI encrypted partition. I've never had problems running

This is absolutely not a common problem, and it's unlikely that the
shell script is the direct cause of the reboots. Are there any messages
written on the console juse before the reboots? Are the reboots actually
kernel panics? If so, you'll need to track down the messages and report

if not, it's maybe a hardware problem. Is there something unusual about

the problem is limited to /bin/csh scripts.  After several crashes in just
a few minutes, I decided I had had enough of that for one night.)
 If anyone has seen this happen before, please let me know.

 All you folks who are focussing on YouTube are (purposefully?  I don't
 know) the fact that with just about half of the entire Web using flash
 in one way or antoehr, not using Flash is a huge problem, as anyone who
 browses without a flashplayer knows.

 Just to provide a counterpoint to this sweeping generalisation, I browse
 without a Flash player and it's never caused me any problem at all.

 There are a few sites which don't work without Flash. Having checked on
 a number of occasions, I've found (and I stress this is a personal
 opinion) that heavy use of Flash is a fairly reliable marker of a site I
 wouldn't be interested in whatever publishing techniques were used.

 It's rather like the old saying in the British advertising industry:
 only sing in an ad if you have nothing to say.

 How does Flash fit in with accessibility guidelines? In many countries,
 a commercial site which doesn't degrade gracefully when viewed with (eg)
 Lynx may fall foul of legislation protecting people with disabilities
 such as visual impairment.

 You know, there are some folks out there who are still using their old
 M32 TTY's, and they can't understand why any folks would need mouses. 
 Those of us who have successfully made the move to the 21st century can
 tell them, but honestly, most of us are very tired of hearing the same
 hoary old excuses why things aren't necessary.  The majority of folks
 doing browsing today aren't impressed that maybe some 3rd world country
 is unhappy with flash sites, they just want their flash sites to work,
 and ours don't.  Why don't they?  Because everytime someone comes up with
 a workable plan, all the real cave-men out there trot out there
 war-stories, and bore us all to death with their memoirs, and endlessly
 recursive arguments.  Everytime they get proven wrong on one item, they
 just move the clock back a few months, grab the previous
 self-justification, and start the argument all back up again.  You can't
 out-last them.

 I personally tried to fix things, got soundly beaten to death over it
 (and I WILL NOT try that one again, under pain of death, sorry!).  MY
 flash works here and that's all I will worry about.  I can't predict when
 things will finally improve, maybe when enough folks realize they don't
 have to put up with this.

 In short, I think ``half of the entire Web using Flash'' may be a bit of
 an overstatement even if you count Flash ad banners (which frankly I can
 do without), and the small number of Flash-only sites I encounter hasn't
 caused me temporary inconvenience, never mind ``a huge problem''.

 That was a right pretty speech there, and I agree with the sentiments of
 moving forward with technology. However, I disagree that this is merely a
 case backward compatibility. Are you aware that the w3 consortium has web
 accessibility drafting committee?

 Consider also the facts that I have brought forward that Adobe has singled
 out OS's that are not allowed to run Flash Player.

 Consider also the fact that most designers simply use flash because they
 can't design properly and use other more accessible methods to achieve the
 same thing.

 I agree that a fix needs to be found, but this is not a cave man
 mentality, and we're not bringing up old war stories. The fact that this
 has not been all that successful given the larger number of sites now
 designed with flash player 9 which has been the number one problem here. If
 you have a fix I am sure we would all welcome the knowledge and use it- I
 certainly would. I merely point out (hopefully reaching some web designers
 and other flash fans) that flash is not the only way to go, and is
 certainly not preferable.

 My /home is a GELI encrypted partition. I've never had problems running
 scripts from it, although my scripts are usually sh, not csh.
 
 What does the script do? Are you running it as root?
 
  The script displays a bunch of pictures as separate xv(1) windows.  =

 I was running it under my own userid.  It is quite simple:

 foreach i ($pixlist)

 sleep $delay

 The delay is simply to ensure the windows get opened in the sequence that
 I want them opened.  The photos are in the same directory, and I run it by
 typing ./show in the directory.  If I type, for example, xv 01.jpg, =
it
 works fine in either the old location or in the GELI partition.  If I type
 ./show in the copy of the directory that is in the GELI partition, Free=

I've run your script on a batch of photos on a GELI encrypted partition
without problems. This is on FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE amd64

I would look at the X server. Since it runs as root and has access to
/dev/mem and /dev/io an X bug could potentially screw things up quite nicel=

I'm running xorg-server-1.4_4,1.

 I'm still running xorg-server-6.9.0_5, I believe.  Haven't yet felt like
wading through the swamp of troubles that seems to await those who upgrade
to 7.x, but will probably have to suffer through it soon.

If you have it installed, try display(1) from the ImageMagick suite
instead of xv. See if it makes any difference.

 There's a thought.  However, I think first I'll try setting the GELI
sector size to 4 KB to see whether that evades the bug.

I presume you've checked for the obvious things such as out of memory or
filesystem full?

 What do you mean out of memory?  And I only had the file system loaded
to about 45% after minfree.

  Maybe I should try GBDE instead of GELI.  I chose GELI for the=20
 partition in question mainly because I was already using it for the swap
 partition, but maybe it's still a little too green to be reliable yet.
=20
I've used it on my /home for years without trouble.

=46rom what I've read, GELI is supposed to be more secure.

 Well, if I can get it to work and not cause instant reboots, I'll stick
with it.  Otherwise I'll have to play around with what works.

Maybe you ran into the same thing as I did a few days ago:

Cups comes with its own lpr, /usr/local/bin/lpr.
The apps try the base system lpr in /usb/bin.

You may have to adjust your $PATH to have /usr/local/bin first,
or backup /usr/bin/lpr and ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr
Last method has to be repeated after any installworld.

 LDAP is a real cool protocol offering a hierarchial directory like

 to your GPG keys to address book to email aliases, anything for which
 you're able to write a schema. You'll enjoy working with it :)

 Install OpenLDAP server (openldap23-{server,client} or 
 openldap24-{server,client})
 from FreeBSD ports. And follow administrator's guide[1] to setup your
 LDAP server. The Building an OpenLDAP address book article [2] at
 ONLamp will guide you with setting up address book with OpenLDAP.

 And you'll also like to try out phpldapadmin for managing LDAP directory
 over web :) .

Thank you for your reply, I have already installed openldap23-server
and client, I still have to configure it and create the address book.
could you please take a look at the this guide[1] before I start
walking throught it, it seems kinda complete for an Addressbook
installation.

Also Do you by any chance use mutt with LDAP, if yes how did you do
that?

Bug in PF (PF+ALTQ+CBQ, FreeBSD 6.2) ?

but on upload it works only at half of asigned bandwidth, with packets 
dropped.


Here is my pf.conf

I would suggest that since adobe have specifically stated that is not licensed

Microsoft have done the same with ASP - can't run ASP and PHP on IIS together 
and ASP is not meant to run anywhere else (I know apache has something, but a 
lot of direct support has been outlawed it seems) so there is active warfare on

Console escape code

2008-02-12 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi,

I am upgrading an application that was runinng on 4.11, and I try to
port it to 6.3.

The application is using a couple of escape control sequences to
modify the cursor on the console.

On 4.11 it was OK, but on 6.3 the cursor changed from block type to
overscore (? same as underscore but abov ethe character).  This is not
a big issue, but I am failling to remember where I get these escape
control sequences in the first time.

printf(  ESC[7mESC[1m string1 ESC[0m);

This one is OK, reverse and bold

printf(ESC[=2CESC[=18;20C string2);

It prints OK, but the cursor is overscore instead of block

readline(ESC[=2;0C string 3);

It prints OK.

Thanks in advance,

This is unfortunately[1] false :)  keep-state and limit are both forms
of specifying dynamic rules.  limit implies keep-state, which is the
unlimited form.  Does it hurt to add keep-state to limit?  Let's try: 

paqi# ipfw add 3 allow tcp from any to me 80 in via dc0 setup limit 
src-addr 1
3 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 80 in via dc0 setup limit src-addr 1
paqi# ipfw add 30001 allow tcp from any to me 80 in via dc0 setup keep-state 
limit src-addr 1
ipfw: only one of keep-state and limit is allowed

  Thank you for carefully reading the text, and most of all for taking the
  time to report this.

 You're sending from a hotmail.com address, without using a hotmail.com

 Someone who's reading this list (and thus gets your messages delivered, even

 Read up on SPF (Sender Policy Framework) to know what's going on behind the

 And the person bouncing the mails should check its settings : SPF must
 NOT be applied to header sender address but o enveloppe sender

  rc.subr and rc.conf will be sourced first, so errors in those could

 That's a good point, but I just tried it with an rc.shutdown script
 that contains only the touch statement, and the file wasn't touched

 I should also add that this problem has survived a world+kernel
 rebuild to 7.0-RC2, which included the use of mergemaster. All the
 scripts under /etc should be the ones in the repository.

 And now I come to think about it, I was tinkering with a random number
 script at the exact time the entropy file was written-out, and I'm
 pretty certain I wrote it myself. That means I have no evidence that
 rc.shutdown has worked at all since I installed FreeBSD 7 in early
 December.

So rcorder isn't being run on rc.d either?  Weird; I can't see what
could cause that.

Kernel Panic with heavy disk i/o while running on battery

2008-02-12 Thread Nathan Alan Souer
In advance, I appreciate any help that anyone has to offer. When my laptop
is running on battery and there is heavy i/o on the disk The machine
kernel panics and reboots. I have updated my base system to current
(7_releng) just a couple days ago in an effort to resolve this issue, to
no change.


Here are the last few lines of the kernel panic (as read through strings):

panic: initiate_write_filepage: dir inum 1576702754 != new 0

Subject: Darwin Calendar Server not starting - Kerberos problem

 
I've just been trying to get a calendar server running for my network, and have 
tried a couple of options including webcalendar, and an apache calDAV module 
(this won't build due to a lack of xattr.h.
 
I ended trying to build the Darwin Calendar Server based on these instructions 
(http://www.royhooper.ca/blog/articles/2007/07/07/installing-the-darwin-calendar-server-on-freebsd)
 which were quite reasonable, and which I finally worked out (see freebsd-ports 
list). But it won't start. It loops saying that kerberos is not supported.
 
According to the instructions, kerberos needs to be there, but not configured. 
So I didn't configure it originally, but when it failed I tried configuring it. 
I started it, but it fails again saying its incorrectly configured, and I have 
no idea whats wrong. Apparently the database is not operational or something 
which I can't work out as I have no idea about kerberos and I followed the 
instructions in the handbook.
 
Any ideas? What info do I need to post? Thanks in advance guys

  There are a few sites which don't work without Flash. Having checked on a
  number of occasions, I've found (and I stress this is a personal opinion)
  that heavy use of Flash is a fairly reliable marker of a site I wouldn't
  be interested in whatever publishing techniques were used.
 
  It's rather like the old saying in the British advertising industry: only
  sing in an ad if you have nothing to say.
 
  How does Flash fit in with accessibility guidelines? In many countries, a
  commercial site which doesn't degrade gracefully when viewed with (eg)
  Lynx may fall foul of legislation protecting people with disabilities
  such as visual impairment.

 You know, there are some folks out there who are still using their old M32
 TTY's, and they can't understand why any folks would need mouses.  Those of
 us who have successfully made the move to the 21st century can tell them,
 but honestly, most of us are very tired of hearing the same hoary old
 excuses why things aren't necessary.  The majority of folks doing browsing
 today aren't impressed that maybe some 3rd world country is unhappy with
 flash sites, they just want their flash sites to work, and ours don't.  Why
 don't they?  Because everytime someone comes up with a workable plan, all
 the real cave-men out there trot out there war-stories, and bore us all to
 death with their memoirs, and endlessly recursive arguments.  Everytime
 they get proven wrong on one item, they just move the clock back a few
 months, grab the previous self-justification, and start the argument all
 back up again.  You can't out-last them.

I don't think there's any need for gratuitous rudeness. I did stress that this 
is a personal opinion. Just to reiterate: I **personally** have not found any 
site that I /need/ to visit which /requires/ Flash to operate, and I suspect 
that may well be because, under legislation such as the Americans with 
Disabilities Act and similar laws in other countries, this would amount to 
discrimination and is officially frowned upon.

I still maintain that your claim that ``half the entire Web'' requires Flash 
is hugely overstated.

Your comment about third world countries is one of the most narrow-minded, 
ignorant and arrogant statements I've heard in many years of listening to 
petty bigots - quite apart from the fact that you're extending what I stated 
was a personal opinion to an entire country and continent based on your 
personal prejudice. (Not that it's important, by the way, but I wasn't born 
here: I chose to move to Africa from Europe, and I didn't like Flash much 
before I got here. I still don't, and I have better - though more expensive - 
bandwidth available to me here than I would in many rural parts of the US).

And finally: ``The majority of folks doing browsing today aren't impressed 
that maybe some 3rd world country is unhappy with flash sites, they just want 
their flash sites to work''.

Stop press: since 90% of the world is using Microsoft operating systems and 
just want their .exes to work, the FreeBSD project is closing down - it's all 
been a huge mistake and we're just cavemen standing in the way of progress.

Clown.

 I've run your script on a batch of photos on a GELI encrypted partition

 I would look at the X server. Since it runs as root and has access to
 /dev/mem and /dev/io an X bug could potentially screw things up quite nicel=

 I'm running xorg-server-1.4_4,1.
 
  I'm still running xorg-server-6.9.0_5, I believe.  Haven't yet felt like
 wading through the swamp of troubles that seems to await those who upgrade
 to 7.x, but will probably have to suffer through it soon.

The base system upgrade was painless as usual for me. To prevent
problems with ports, I had portmaster make a list of 'leaf' ports. Then
I deleted all ports, installed the new base system and re-installed the
leaf ports, which took care of the dependancies. Other than that it took
a long time I didn't have problems with the upgrade.

 If you have it installed, try display(1) from the ImageMagick suite
 instead of xv. See if it makes any difference.
 
  There's a thought.  However, I think first I'll try setting the GELI
 sector size to 4 KB to see whether that evades the bug.

That makes sense. I've never used anything but the default settings for newfs.

 I presume you've checked for the obvious things such as out of memory or
 filesystem full?
 
  What do you mean out of memory?  

Physical memory completely used and swap almost full. 

 And I only had the file system loaded
 to about 45% after minfree.


   Maybe I should try GBDE instead of GELI.  I chose GELI for the=20
  partition in question mainly because I was already using it for the swap
  partition, but maybe it's still a little too green to be reliable yet.
 =20
 I've used it on my /home for years without trouble.
 
 =46rom what I've read, GELI is supposed to be more secure.
 
  Well, if I can get it to work and not cause instant reboots, I'll stick
 with it.  Otherwise I'll have to play around with what works.

The only trouble I ever had with GELI was to try and use encrypted USB
mass storage devices. But those were apparently caused by a buggy
USB-ATA chip. And there seems to be a workaround in the driver on 7.x
because I haven't seen the problem since the upgrade.
