SASL2, Subversion and LDAP authtication
Sirs, I already setup a working subversion server and need to autehnticate accessing users against a LDAP server. The LDAP serving machine is located on another box and compiled against cyrus-sasl2-port. OpenLDAP (2.4.11), Subversion (1.5.X as taken from the ports) are capable of handling SASL2, so I double checked this. I followed the instructions to setup subversion connecting/authenticating users via sasl2 but I do not have any success. It is said that for subversion I need to create a config file 'svn.conf' in the place were sasl2 expects plugins, so this /usr/local/lib/sasl2. There resides a chmod'd 755 file named svn.conf with this content: auxprop_plugin: ldap pwcheck_method: auxprop ldapdb_uri: ldap://my.ldap.server/ ldapdb_id: anonymous ldapdb_pw: ldapdb_mech:EXTERNAL ldapdb_rc: /usr/local/etc/sasl2/ldaprc ldapdb_startls: yes mech_list: EXTERNAL log_level: 7 The file /usr/local/etc/sasl2/ldaprc containts LDAP specific parameters like TLS_CACERT file etc. Well, someone would complain about ldapdb_id and ldapdb_pw, they ar set to bogus values at the moment as I try to figure out how things work (the documentation is more than bad in this subject). My problem is as follows: whenever I try to access the repository which should authenticate against LDAP I get a SASL error complaining about non-accessible Berkeley db /usr/local/etc/sasl2db not accessible (permission denied). Well, this confuses me. That means subversion is NOT accessing the LDAP path, it seems it uses authd (sasl2) directly. I try to log the console and slapd output, both do not show up anything execpt console log shows the mentioned Berkeley db issue. My LDAP server is configured not to autheticate clients via there own SSL certificates, so the bogus 'anonymous' tag and empty password is simply I try to get LDAP's and subversion's log messages triggered - if subversion will ever contact LDAP. I guess subversion never looks for a config file 'svn.conf' in /usr/local/lib/sasl2/. Well, I'm a little bit desperate about less knowledge about sasl2 and how it works, so if there is someone out here with a working subversion.ldap configuration on FreeBSD (I use everywhere 7.0-STABLE) I appreciate any comments, tips and hints.

bootable FreeBSD on USB-Flash-Drive [SOLUTION] ???
Hello, It is relatively easy to produce a FreeBSD 7.0 booting USB key (for example for the installation of FreeBSD 7.0 if the target machine has no CD but only USB externals), if one follow more or less the description in http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22 I said 'more or less' because the problem is that the procedure at certain point assumes that you have the installation data (which is on FreeBSD CD1) accessible, but you have at this moment the LifeFS CD mounted); I helped myself doing the process based on my running FreeBSD 7.0 laptop, mounted the CD1 and built the USB key.

The short version is, the machine will not enter multi-user mode after we followed the instructions or directions within /usr/src/UPDATING . the SECTION entitled: To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to 5.x - While we are able to enter single-user mode with no apparent issues, attempting to enter multi-user mode yields the following: date init can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0: The above line takes place for all the ttyv's listed in /etc/ttys. We've checked the entries in /etc/ttys as-well-as checked to be sure /usr/libexec/getty was in fact in its proper place with correct permissions. Because this upgrade went sideways we are only soliciting help to reboot into multi-user mode to retrieve the data which our level.0/9 dump(s) failed to get .thereafter we'll do a fresh install and return this machine to service. What can we do at this point to accomplish our goal of booting in to multi-user mode? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

KDE4 system utilization in FreeBSD vs. SuSE 11
The system that I'm doing this on is a Thinkpad T23 with 1GB ram and 1Ghz P3. I've tried KDE4 as the ports tree now has packages for 7-STABLE and found that plasma+xorg is a resource hog. When I look in top I see xorg + plasma each using 20% of the cpu and a large portion of the ram. Opening up konqueror for kde4 slows the system very noticeably and closing konqueror leaves a zombie process. Konqueror for kde3 does not have the same effect and is quite useable. The laptop is unable to go to the lower cpu frequency and is almost unuseable. I've now booted from the SuSE 11 KDE4 livecd. X + plasma + konqueror + konsole + networkmanager is using less than 20% cpu and 70% of the ram. 512K ram is being used as a ramdisk and the other 200K is being used to run KDE4. SuSE has many services running and seems to have no issues doing so as the cpu frequency is at the lowest setting. In fact, the cpu frequency has not budged from the lowest setting. The system is as responsive running from the livecd using KDE4 as FreeBSD using KDE3 from the hard drive. Here is a comparison of memory use between KDE4 and KDE3, http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3138. The conclusion from that is KDE4 applications require less memory than KDE3 applications. Am I doing something wrong that causes such a discrepancy? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The read does not create name, surname and age variables. Any idea why? Appreciate your reply. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unga: I think your problem is that each element of the pipeline runs in a separate process, so has no access to the variables from other processes. You could try something like: echo Name:Surname:10 | ( IFS=: ; read name surname age ; echo $surname) Thanks for the reply. Your statement prints the Surname but the variable $surname disappear after that and not available for further processing. I'm referring to two sources for this: 1. Learning the bash shell, 2nd Edition. O'Reilly publishers Where on page 170, under read section The basic syntax is: read var1 var2... This statement takes a line from the standard input and breaks it down into words delimited by any of the characters in the value of the environment variable IFS. The words are assigned to variables var1, var2, etc. 2. http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/29202-perl-lik e-split-function-bash.html It looks like it works for others but here on FreeBSD 7.0, bash 3.2.33(0)-release, I find it difficult to get this syntax to work. Unga: The variables in the read command are only available in the same shell process as the read command. In my example, that would be the commands within the () brackets, as the () cause a subshell to be spawned. In the most common situation, a read command is going to be part of a shell script, so the variables will be available within the script. Most often, a read command is going to read from standard input, so you'll have something like: - myscript.sh -- #!/usr/local/bin/bash IFS=: while read var1 var2 var3; do echo The values are $var1, $var2 and $var3 done - myscript.sh -- Then call the script: echo apple:orange:banana | ./myscript.sh Or, maybe use the values from a file. ./myscript.sh mylist.txt where mylist.txt contains one or more lines -- mylist.txt -- apple:banana:orange aea:coffee:milk green:blue:red -- mylist.txt -- - Barry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Cloning a gmirrored hard drive

Is it mandatory to create a *new* gmirror ? There is no way to resize a gmirror provider without creating a new one. You could possibly insert the new large drive into the mirror, deactivate it, make a new gmirror on it (clobbering the old one), THEN use growfs.. but that's a lot mor ecomplicated and error-prone than doing it the right way using dump/restore.

Considering the amount of RAM in the box, AMD64 would prob be best for your needs. If you need 32-bit software or features go with i386 instead but you wont have access to all the RAM ia64 is for Itanium-based systems only Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:39:07 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: Subject: For this hardware amd64, ia64 or i386 to install?

We have no interest in save this UPGRADE. We just want to be able to boot in to multi-user mode in order to get some files that dump, for some reason or another, was unable to get on a level 0 or 9. On the other hand, if we can find another network, we'll try and configure the box for LAN access (single-user) and scp what we need, thereafter doing a fresh 'Dangerously Dedicated' install. That is, if we can't get this getty issue temporarily repaired. Your thoughts ... ? I wanted to add, it would probably delete all your configuration files, such as your groups and users. Which is why I did it. For completness, we aren't interested in saving this install, just the files that our dump 0 and 9 failed to get.

greetings, all --- this isn't exactly a free_bsd question, --but--, since free_bsd is popular w/ the i386 crowd and there are many rugged individualists on these lists who like to roll their own, i figure i'll get way less hyperbole and more practical experience here, than at some of the places i've visited today. i had always been able to find the cpu / heatsink / fan as a sub_assembly, so, i didn't have to deal with this issue. i'm making some new boxen to replace some 800mhz_p3, 256mb units which will be re_assigned. i found a mobo i like; d_ram just keeps getting cheaper; etc., etc. i even found a processor that appeals to me, but, it's oem. it's the p4 641 which is 3200 mhz, 65 nm, 775 case. the mobo maxes out at 2048mb, which is just fine. these are probably the last single_core boxen that i will build. now, back in the day, i had acquired the skill of using my index finger to properly apply that white_stuff, from the good folks at wakefield, to the tops of uhf pa transistors, from the good folks at motorola. no, this isn't a case of fear. it's that i don't recognize so many of the manufacturers names. some look familiar, but they might just be similar to something i remember from long ago. q: would anyone care to wax rhapsodic about any manufacturer with whose heatsink / fan combo product[s] they have had good success ? q: is there a short list of manufacturers who are generally accepted as producers of reliable products [ as is, e. g., antec, for cases and power_supplies ] ? q: conversely, are there any manufacturers with justifiably bad reputations ? i have seen several diameters described as appropriate for the 775. q: should i prefer any particular size ? wakefield is still around, but there are other names. q: are there any opinions, pro or con, about thermal compounds ? noise_level is not a criterion in this situation. i'll err on the side of more cf/m. money doesn't appear to be an issue. i've seen a range of $_10 to $_130, so far, but, most are $_15 to $_30 or so. thanks in advance for any advice. please cc. rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
script to assist ASCII text
People,
This had eluded me for years and it may not be possible, but here goes.
I write using vi or, less frequently vim. Is there any sh script that
would make sure that there were exactly one space ('\040') between
words, and three spaces between sentences? My definition of a
sentence is a string of words that ends in a period or question-mark,
exclamation-mark, or ellipse (... . || ... ? || ... !) Also, any dash
-- could not have any whitespace around it.
Anything except these would print an error.
thanks for idea or input,
gary

Re: Realtek RTL8111C and re(4) driver

The web link is: http://driverscollection.com/?H=RTL8111CBy=RealTekSS=FreeBSD%205 Andy This has just been suggested here, but it looks like it wouldn't support FreeBSD 7. Have you actually tried it? Which version of FreeBSD are you using? If you can use that machine you've just put together for a couple of tests (i.e. not yet being into production), could you please try the patches on kern/123123: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123123 I don't have the hardware yet to test myself. I would be great to have at least basic RTL8111C support in re(4) soon. ;) Regards, -cpghost. I have not yet tried it. I was hoping to hear that some talented person here had already gotten it working. Fortunately, I have some breathing room for this as the church has a functioning server that this is intended to replace. I just started back in school this semester today, so time is limited but I will give it a try time permitting of course.

SATA, RAID and AHCI
Hi, As I mentioned in response to a thread started by someone wanting drivers for a Realtek 8111c NIC, I'm building a server for our church. We purchased an ASUS motherboard, M3A78 PRO (in case it matters or anyone cares). Everyone is already aware of FreeBSD's lack of driver support for the RTL8111c NIC which, unfortunately, is embedded on this MOBO. This question is about the storage settings for this board (ASUS' name for it is Storage Configuration). In the CMOS (or whatever it's called these days, just out of curiousity, will FreeBSD support things like OpenBoot or UEFI on i386, sorry for the digression), I found where to turn the Storage Configuration, as ASUS calls it, from IDE, to RAID, or AHCI. It's currently set to IDE because when set to RAID the MOBO apparently kept trying to put the SATA DVD drive as part of the RAID and when set to AHCI mode the install had hundreds of, can't create symlink, no inodes free, during the copying of the files into the newly created file systems. Now, I'm a complete neophyte to making these SATA RAID systems. What's the magic to making it work, and how do you keep the DVD drive from being part of the RAID? Also, what should be done for AHCI mode? It looked as though in this mode the drives would perform *much* faster.

Re: MTA advice ??

You will need to use a dynamic DNS system. Also do consider uptime and reliability. In the old days, if one MTA couldn't reach another it would hold stuff in its queue for four or five days. Now, most MTAs appear to be configured to give up after 24 hours. So if your mailserver is down for a day, mail will be bounced and never delivered to you. In which case those mail systems are not in compliance with the RFCs. RFC 2821 Section 4.5.4.1 says: Retries continue until the message is transmitted or the sender gives up; the give-up time generally needs to be at least 4-5 days. The parameters to the retry algorithm MUST be configurable. ie. 4-5 days is the /minimum/ time to hold messages in the queue and keep retrying. It doesn't say that. The only concrete requirement there is the last sentence about the retry algorithm, the rest is just friendly advice. There are cheap backup services that will avoid this kind of problem though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
