I use tcsh as my shell. The following alias works nicely for me in
xterm, but would have to be adjusted for anything else:
alias highlight 'sed -E '\''s/\!:*/^[[1m&^[[0m/g'\'''
Replace "^[" with an escape character, twice. Put it in your .tcshrc if
you like. YMMV.

Right, I do very similar stuff. You'd use this like:
tail -F /var/log/maillog | highlight .*sm-mta-out.*
Quotes seem to confound this alias. I haven't bothered to fix that; as
long as what you're searching for doesn't glob a file, you should be
fine without quotes.
You can also do more complex things in either sed or awk, colour-coding
individual pattern matches. Here's one in awk that I use to highlight
the activity of milter-greylist:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
red="^[[31m"; green="^[[32m";
yellow="^[[33m"; blue="^[[34m";
norm="^[[0m";
fmt="%s%s%s\n";
}
/autowhitelisted/ { printf(fmt, green, $0, norm); next; }
/delayed for/ { printf(fmt, yellow, $0, norm); next; }
# /skipping greylist/ { printf(fmt, blue, $0, norm); next; }
{ print; }
Same deal with the "^[".
Enjoy.

messagebus user
We just upgraded to a new server (FreeBSD 7.0) and in our passwd file is the user "messagebus" (there's also a group). What's this for and can the UID be changed? It's got the same number as one of our oldest users and we're trying to determine which UID would be easier to switch. While this obviously has something to do with D-BUS (whatever that is), it's nothing we installed "on purpose". If it's not a part of the default system, it probably got bundled in as a dependency during an large port make. Any suggestions?

It'd be better if you post a few relevant lines of the log file.
Pending that, I suggest awk(1) in case the log file format is similar

Exactly. If I would have wanted that, my choice would be the tradidtional
way to use portinstall with its -p option, similar to "make package"
from a port's directory.

That sounds complicated...
But many thanks for your ideas, I found a way to achieve my goad.
As you will see, the solution is VERY ugly, but it seems to work.
It's a simple script that first downloads the requested package,
then the dependencies it needs are filtered out of the -v messages
of pkg_add. Afterwards, the script is called recursively on these
packages, to do exactly the same as with the requested package.
Here it is:
#!/bin/sh
#
# getpkg.sh 2008-08-19
#
# fetch a precompiled package as well as it dependencies
# for further installation
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "$0 "
exit 1
fi
echo -n "fetching $1 ... "
if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then
echo "$1.tbz already there"
exit 1
fi
pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1
echo "done"
for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d
"/" -f 2`; do
echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}"
$0 ${DEP}
done
rm $1.txt
exit 0
One problem that might occur: Do the depencency packages need to
include version numbering? The downloaded packages do not have
a version in their name. I will check if it works, or if the
versions need to be in the package file name.

Possible hardware damaging bug with halt/reboot!
I think this thing could break my fan if I left it running. The fan gets fast, really fast. Sounds like it's running faster than it can handle. This is using the halt command, during the message that say's, HALTED, PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. (not actual message) I am still looking in the source code hunting for this. I decided it was best to report now. I have not seen the loop, but adding sleep(1) in the halt loop, such as a while loop, I think that would make it easier on the cpu. However I do not know how it works, because I have not seen that source code. In Love in Jesus Christ, Or Lord and Savior.

Re: [ free_bsd_questions ] selecting a cpu heatsink / fan combo
If you haven't already bought your cpu you could check out how much heat different cpu's produce, they vary quite a lot. Lower power = lower heat production = less stress on heatsink/fan (and = lower electricity costs). Also the overclockers websites and forums usually have opinions about heatsinks. and of course - make sure then that your motherboard doesn't overclock by default. no, i'm not joking, it's true but it sounds like a joke. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
AD3RTLANG daughter card not detected under FBSD 7

DHCP and Encapsulating Vendor Options
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have a need to encapsulate option 125 for my phone system on my isc-dhcp
server.
Following is a snippet from my dhcpd.conf file.
option space MITEL;
option MITEL.Option-125 code 125 = string;
subnet 1.2.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 1.2.3.100 1.2.3.200;
option routers 1.2.3.1;
option domain-name-servers 1.2.3.1;
vendor-option-space MITEL;
option MITEL.Option-125 "Mitel hexadecimal data goes here"
}
Is this the right way to encapsulate the Hex data? I have not been able
to find any information from Mitel concerning how to setup this option on
an isc-dhcp server. The information I found was for a Windows 2003 DHCP
server, and the data type needed to be encapsulated. So, my assumption is
(I know, I know), the data will have to be encapsulated on the isc dhcp
server as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Fortune and games and even the latest Perl and some other things might be good candidates for that select list. I know there is a place where you can run through pretty much the whole list of ports and select, but that is really too overwhelming. I would suggest this be a separate list, mostly limited to those things that many people want (but others don't) in the base system. Some of these pretty much stand alone and shouldn't add complications of dependancies, but I suppose some might. jerry > > ___ > 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]"

fairly low level - ld-elf.so.1/rtld_verify_versions() question
I have a library that is failing to load. Eventually I managed to play
with ld-elf so I could figure out what was wrong (jail -> build the
ld-elf in the jail with some printfs)
Anyway, I have a lot of test cases that seem to compile/load fine, but
one compiles fine but always fails to load, I found /why/ it fails,
but I don't know what in my library would cause the issues.
It looks like a versioning failure for libc.so.7:
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2807e000)
What would cause this, but not cause failures on other libraries I've
built on the same system?
* Between successes and failures I have not rebuilt anything other
than the successful and failing libraries.
Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton
In case it might be useful, below I have an output from my modified
ld-elf, Anything starting with ">>>" comes from the
"rtld_verify_versions" function, anything starting with ">>" comes

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying here, but it's certainly not related to what Mr. Exupery was saying. You can't sell someone a new car full of obsolete parts, saying "now you have the freedom to choose what parts _you_ want to keep", that's just ridiculous. Next thing you know the person will die in a car crash. Let me give you another quote. I trust you'll be able to track down the author for this one as well: "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell." I understand you're saying that people are free to pick apart excess weight from their systems. But only a small percentage actually needs this excess weight. So wouldn't it be better to take it out, and instead, give the ones who need it the freedom put it back in? > We also understand that it is often very difficult, even outright > impossible to satisfy _everyone_ with one flavor of beer, so we try to > give everyone a BSD flavored brew that seems to have worked nicely for a > lot of people and all the tools to build your own custom flavor.

I got it tracked down to the reference to 'games' in the mtree files we use to populate the installation tree with directories before installing programs and data in them. By looking at the differences from 7.0-STABLE to 8.0-CURRENT the same problem exists in both branches. >>> I don't see why the FreeBSD team has to insist on keeping this, pardon >>> my language, bullshit.

This is the same old argument about ``what should be in the base system and what should be a port''. I'm almost sure we can find people who like fortune(1) in the base system, and I can certainly understand that some people don't really care if it goes. Making it easy to disable stuff in `src.conf' is sort of a middle-path approach. I can live with that for now. If someone else comes along and moves fortune(1) and the other src/games/ stuff in a port, I won't really object either :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ok, think I got it...
Here's the patch I am testing now. If this works locally, I'll post it
for review to our Makefile gurus and commit it when we get it into shape.
If things work without problems in CURRENT for a few days, I'll backport
it to the STABLE branches too.

Adapter to hook SCSI tape drive to SATA?
I have a Seagate DDS-4 tape drive hanging off a Tekram SCSI card. I was starting to get random hard resets whenever accessing the drive - as in "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sa0" would get me to the BIOS POST screen in under a second - so this morning I swapped out an unused card of the same model from another system. Hopefully this was just a hardware glitch and the "new" card (which is also 9 years old) will be OK. This got me thinking, though: has anyone used any of the SCSI-to-SATA adapters to hook a tape drive to their FreeBSD system? More importantly, did it work? I'd just as soon use one of the on-board SATA connectors as an aging boat anchor of a SCSI card if I could get away with it. I mean, I still use SCSI a lot elsewhere, but I'd like to ditch it in this one specific application if possible.

I just reproduced this a few minutes ago, by deleting the `games' group and user from my password file and installing a userland compiled with WITHOUT_GAMES=yes.

Grease off your skin will detract from the efficiency of the Thermal Bond, and seeing as the TIM bond accounts for a HUGE proportion of a processor-cooling-solution's c/w rating, it's better to pop finger in a bag, and then apply compound. 2 - Best of the best is still Thermalright, but there is a price premium as always. I generally go with their Ultra120 Extreme as it supports all sockets and all CPUs on the market, so you won't have to bin it if you switch to something else at a later date... And partner it with a decent 120mm fan of your choosing according to your noise preference. Personally I stick with Nexus fans as they're nice n' quiet... The above combo is currently sitting atop a Q6600 cpu in my recording studio system and keeps it at 40 deg C full-load in total silence. If you want better cooling, then find a more powerful fan. 3 - Meh - Thermal Compound performance is much debated, and any testing done on it isn't done to a sufficient quality to give reliable results. Either way, the Thermalright Heatsinks all come with goop that is plenty good enough for most purposes. L8rs!

OK, I will. I got taught, in extremely clear fashion, about the direct linkage between keeping the temperatures low and even, and the ultimate reliability of your system. I won't go into the war story, but most everyone knows this is true, anyhow. I won't go into the fan either, because it's my personal opinion that there are a large selection of good fans. The item I want to extoll is the Ultimate 120 heatsink from Thermalright. Huge heatsink, and the 120mm fan that you get separately mounts on the _side_, not the top, like you might be used to. One look at this, at the great engineering ... well you might possibly find something else as good, but I bet you'd not be able to find anything better.

Ok, this may be a bug in the makefiles then. My apologies if you have already written all that. I caught the email thread some time after it started, and I replied while being offline on a trip. A few bits of information which may help us track down what you are seeing and try to reproduce it are: * Which branch/version of the source tree are you building? * How did you build everything? Please list all the command line options, any environment variables and any `make.conf' or `src.conf' options you are using. * What was the _exact_ error message you saw? I have just fired up a buildworld + buildkernel run of 8.0-CURRENT here, to see if I can reproduce this. The build runs with: # export WITHOUT_GAMES=yes # mv /usr/games /usr/games.old # rm -fr /usr/src/games AFAIK, this should work fine, but I will have to wait a bit for the build to finish and report back. I'll post my results in a couple of hours, because that's roughly how long it takes for my laptop to go through a full build & install run. In the meantime, if you can repeat the build and email us with the branch, the source version, the environment you used to build and the last 200-300 lines of the error messages you are getting (the full build log would be even better), it would be quite useful as an extra bit of info to track down what is broken for you. With a bit of help from you, to test-build everything and report back with any findings, I'm sure we can at least understand what's different in your local setup :-) > I don't see why the FreeBSD team has to insist on keeping this, pardon > my language, bullshit. If some sorry guy actually needs this, why > can't he load it as a module, or install a port? Insist on keeping what? The fortune cookies and `/usr/src/games'? I don't think anyone insists on *forcing* you to use something you don't want to have around. That's precisely the idea behind WITHOUT_GAMES and similar options. If it doesn't work, we'll fix it. If it does work, on the other hand, we have to find out how to make it work for you too. > To quote some Frenchman: "Perfection is achieved, not when there's > nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away." This is one of the nice quotes of Antoine de Saint Exupery, but in our case perfection is also achieved when FreeBSD empowers you to choose the bits that _you_ want to keep. As a team we value the freedom `to pick and choose' and providing a reference body of source code that others can use under the friendly terms of the BSD license is an explicit goal of the Project as a whole. We also understand that it is often very difficult, even outright impossible to satisfy _everyone_ with one flavor of beer, so we try to give everyone a BSD flavored brew that seems to have worked nicely for a lot of people and all the tools to build your own custom flavor. > I worry slightly as I watch FreeBSD become bigger and bigger, fearing > that some day it'll all come tumbling down! Well, there's a very good way to avoid this. You can *help* us keep BSD in shape. Reports about bugs, problems and issues like the one you are reporting in this thread are an _excellent_ way to do that. If nobody reports a bug, then it won't get solved... By reporting it and helping us track it down, find the fix and commit it to the source tree you are doing everyone (including the FreeBSD Project and yourself) a great service :-) Cheers, Giorgos pgphp0R2zaaCm.pgp Description: PGP signature

Have you tried building with an src.conf file that includes: WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' It' not a matter of `kindergarten or not', but a matter of providing a predictable `base system' by default and all the knob and documentation to customize it at will. That's why you can find a lot of customization options in the manpage of src.conf(5). For example, on a `production server' that is a bit limited in space, and doesn't really need compilers, debuggers, profiling tools, or three different firewalls, I would probably build with: WITHOUT_CVS=yes WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' WITHOUT_GCOV=yes WITHOUT_GDB=yes WITHOUT_IPFILTER=yes WITHOUT_IPX=yes WITHOUT_OBJC=yes WITHOUT_PROFILE=yes WITHOUT_SHAREDOCS=yes I would also use WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN=yes during `make installworld' runs, to skip installing all the gcc, g++ and debugger tools.

Note that this is a job for cut(1):

Interestingly, the fastest way to do that job is to use
a regular expression with Python. This is about twice
as fast as the proposed perl solution:
$ python -c 'import re; print re.sub(" .*\n", "\n", file("input").read())'
(Of course, in a script you would write that command in
a more readable way instead of trying to squeeze it all
on a single line.)

I assume the convention you are referring to is from the Porter's Handbook [5.2.5, Package Naming Conventions]: Otherwise, the PORTNAME should not contain any version-specific information. It is quite normal for several ports to have the same PORTNAME, as the www/apache* ports do; in that case, different versions (and different index entries) are distinguished by the PKGNAMEPREFIX, PKGNAMESUFFIX, and LATEST_LINK values. There is no violation of this convention in this case: % make -C /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261 -V PORTNAME autoconf In any case, the conventions are not followed strictly. For instance, the above section of the Porter's Handbook says, "The first letter of the name part should be lowercase."

Yeah I actually tried that, but I got the same error. I don't see why the FreeBSD team has to insist on keeping this, pardon my language, bullshit. If some sorry guy actually needs this, why can't he load it as a module, or install a port? To quote some Frenchman: "Perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away." I worry slightly as I watch FreeBSD become bigger and bigger, fearing that some day it'll all come tumbling down! -- http://www.home.no/reddvinylene ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Have you tried building with an src.conf file that includes: WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' It' not a matter of `kindergarten or not', but a matter of providing a predictable `base system' by default and all the knob and documentation to customize it at will. That's why you can find a lot of customization options in the manpage of src.conf(5). For example, on a `production server' that is a bit limited in space, and doesn't really need compilers, debuggers, profiling tools, or three different firewalls, I would probably build with: WITHOUT_CVS=yes WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' WITHOUT_GCOV=yes WITHOUT_GDB=yes WITHOUT_IPFILTER=yes WITHOUT_IPX=yes WITHOUT_OBJC=yes WITHOUT_PROFILE=yes WITHOUT_SHAREDOCS=yes I would also use WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN=yes during `make installworld' runs, to skip installing all the gcc, g++ and debugger tools. The default `base system' still installs all these parts, but you are definitely *not* obliged to always install all of them. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to best communicate with my users
Hello hello! Pardon me for asking such a simple questions, but what is the best way of 1) messaging offline users on my system? No e-mail please, I want something more concrete, something displayed immediately upon login, no need to go via a third party app. 2) talking to users logged onto my system? I find ntalk too frustrating, and ytalk too ASCII artsy. Anything else out there under the sun? Much obliged, ladies and gentlemen.

ports AUTOCONFxxx
Why does the AUTOCONFxxx change the suffix between Freebsd releases? In 6.2 it was called AUTOCONF259 in 7.0 its called AUTOCONF261. Is this not a violation of the naming convention?

OpenLDAP amd64/i386 weirdness
Hello, I made some strange experiences in running OpenLDAP 2.4.11 on both i386 and amd64 architectures of the most recent FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE. I already setup and run three servers (fourth is coming soon). Two of them are based on FreeBSD amd64, one is based on i386. The do have almost the same configuration, the same portrevision of both nss_ldap and pam_ldap I need to use (nss_ldap-1.257, pam_ldap-1.8.4), and, of course, the same OpenLDAP port (openldap-sasl-client-2.4.11,openldap-sasl-server-2.4.11) an the same SASL2 libraries taken from port (cyrus-sasl-ldapdb-2.1.22). So, this is the base on ALL boxes! Also the changes in /etc/pam.d/system, /etc/pam.d/sshd, /etc/pam.d/other and /etc/pam.d/passwd are exactly the same. So, now the weird thing. On all amd64-boxes I can config /etc/nsswitch.conf this way and it works: passwd: compat passwd_compat: ldap group: compat group_compat: ldap The manpages do not reveal anything about 'ldap' is allowed (FreeBSD is in this case far behind anything else out the server market, a shame), I tried it and had success on all of my amd64-boxes. But using the same on the third i386-server fails. And now I'm asking myself what I've done magic or wrong or have overseen (a small piece in the chain of configurations) or is there indeed a difference between amd64 and i386 in handling this? Thanks in advance, Oliver P.S. Please respond to my email also, I'm not subscriber of the 'questions' list. Thank you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

XML) or just run on the CSV datasets for summarizing / counting informations Yes, ugly suggestion, I know.

I have an Intel 965 board which has similar settings. I had no trouble installing 7 Release using the RAID setting. There is a ctrl+F10 or somesuch keypress during boot which takes one into the BIOS RAID setup, where you can choose which drives go into the RAID, and what form of RAID it is (mine is RAID5 across 4x400Gb SATA drives). The machine boots off 2x80G IDE drives in a gmirror arrangement. Strangely, FBSD still recognizes the 4 SATA drives as individuals, and then loads the ar driver for the raid array. > 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. RAID mode is what you want to make work. As to speed. my home machine runs Fedora Core and under FC5 I could not set to anything but 'IDE legacy mode' where it mapped all the SATA devices into the IDE space. This severely affected access speed. Since I use the box for multitrack sound recording, this was a big problem. As soon as I could I upgraded to FC6 which has support for native SATA mode and now I get 50MB/s sustained write speed. much happier writing 8 tracks at 48khz (-: So, I suggest checking the BIOS for setup options that allow you to spec the RAID config. oh, and replace the onboard lan with an Intel card. they rock -- DA Fo rsythNetwork Supervisor Principal Technical Officer -- Institute for Water Research http://www.ru.ac.za/institutes/iwr/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Joy stick not being detected!

Try the one-line perl example in joy(4) to see if your joystick works, for some value of 'works' .. ie actually logs changing axis values and button press/release status. I don't think there's any specific support for joysticks, you pretty much have to write your own. With what program did you hope to use it? Years ago I wrote a little rexx program that read (pseudo) joystick X,Y values and button (actually relay switch) values for detecting and controlling shutdown conditions for a simple-interface Liebert UPS, using the standard joystick / MIDI port on a couple of ISA cards. >From memory it only worked right when device joy was compiled into kernel, not kldloaded - but that was way back around FreeBSD 3.3 .. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
