Hi, > What is the best way of migrating users from one machine (FreeBSD > 6.3) to a new machine (FreeBSD 7.2)? > I need to migrate their user account settings (shell, password, > expiry etc) and also their data that they have in their directories. Basically: - you need to vipw on both machine and copy the user accounts from the old machine to the new machine, that is fast; - you need to copy the home directories of your users from one machine to the other, that can take long time if you have a lot of users with a lot of data. To be sure that there is no change being made by the users while you are copying the data/accounts, you must disable any login during the copy process. You can practice copying the accounts while the machines are online (login enabled); but be certain to do a final copy with the machine offline (login disabled). If copying data would take too long time and you cannot afford to put the system offline for such a long period, you could install rsync on both machines. - keep machines online and rsync the users data from the old machine to the new one. - repeat rsyncing indefinitely, this will continue copying file that has changed. - put the machine offline and do a last rsync: that one should not take too long as it will only copy what has changed since the very last run of rsync. Another way regarding the users' data, if they reside on a separate hard disk, you can simply physically mount that hard disk in the new machine.

I hate to replay this whole issue from the beginning, but apparently there is no other way. The author orginally contacted us with a legal threat because we were not in compliance with the 28-day clause. A long, acrimonious disucssion ensued. In that discussion, the author was asked "if we agree to meet that condition going forward, would you guarantee that this would remove any further legal threat?" and he said yes ... for now. But that he reserved the right to change his mind later. *depending* on what we did or did not do in the future -- not just in adhering to the *existing clauses* like the "significant" clause or "renamed" clause -- both of which he mentioned would be part of any lawsuit. Legally indefensible? Of course. Would that prevent a lawsuit being filed? No. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Summary: What you see as "keeping a useful piece of software out of the port collection", I see as "protect the interests of a project that I have put a great deal of interest in time to." Again, I *emphasize* that this author has changed his mind in the past, mid-debate, on the interpretation of his ... unusual ... license. I also believe that it's quite likely going forward. mcl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
jail - unable to print from inside jail
I'm trying to setup CUPS (in a jail) using a USB printer on my host machine. My host was built with as a minimal FreeBSD 7.2-Release install. I added ezjail and created two jails.

Hi David,
If a port requires a certain file to build or run, and it's included in
another port that isn't listed as a dependency, please file a PR
(http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html) so the port can be fixed.
In the mean time, you can find port files by grepping /usr/ports like so:
find /usr/ports -name pkg-plist -exec grep -l {} \;
or
grep -rl /usr/ports
Keep in mind that not all ports have a pkg-plist file, so this will not
work in some cases.
Hope that helps,
Greg

More memory can > never hurt, but it doesn't seem like it's urgently needed here. I don't know about that, Dan. Especially considering it's a mail server he's talking about, there's no RAM left for disk cache on that machine. We've seen performance gains on our mail server by putting obscene amounts of RAM into it. After a bit of use, FreeBSD ends up having 6.5G of inactive RAM, which I assume is cache of mailboxes. The result is that while watching gstat, the amount of disk reads is very low (since a lot of data is already in RAM) and the IO is available to do fast writes when new mail comes in. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The amount of used swap is much less important than whether you are actively swapping (if there are In/Out values on the Swap line in top, or if "vmstat 1" shows nonzero values in the pi/po columns). 160MB of used swap is fine if it's just unused daemons (getty, idle webserver, etc). More memory can never hurt, but it doesn't seem like it's urgently needed here. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a web page and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their preferences via the web. Even a list manager can administer his or her list(s) entirely via the web. Mailman integrates many common MLM features, including web-based archiving (though it also has hooks for external archivers), mail-to-news gateways, bounce handling, spam prevention, Majordomo-style email-based list administration, direct SMTP delivery (with fast bulk mailing), digest delivery, virtual domain support, and more. Mailman is written mostly in Python (with a smattering of C where necessary for security purposes), and includes hooks to make it easily scriptable and extensible. It is compatible with most web servers and browsers, and most mail transfer agents (mail servers). Mailman's documentation may be found on its website.
