Hi,
I am looking to see if there a command or a script In BSD Os that will
allow me to ftp to a server automatically and get a file from another
server. User name and passwd will be already in the script so it will
run ftp and download a file or a JPG from that server. Like in Linux OS
there is a command using .netrc file and you can script that file and
will automatically do what is in the file at time interval that you
want. Thanks,
In FreeBSD, there's documentation on that; read man ftp and
see the -u option.
I'm often (ab)using a Makefile to upload (send) files per FTP to
a server, and I call this make install. You can put this into
a shell script (sh) and then call it, e. g.
#!/bin/sh
FTPUSER=my_account_name_on_ftp_server
FTPPASSWD=my_very_complicated_password
SERVER=ftp.where_my_stuff_is.foo.bar
UPLOAD=/path/to/files/to/upload
cd ${UPLOAD} ftp -u ftp://${FTPUSER}:${ftppass...@${server} *
Of course, you can utilize .netrc to contain FTP access data. Then,
you just need to call pure ftp with server name, and you can
replace * with any file name(s) you want.
However, be aware that FTP doesn't encrypt passwords. You should
take into mind that using FTP with an SSH wrapper, or even
better - scp - is a more secure way to send files.

You should probably use a shell command as recommended by others, but I
decided to write a Ruby script to do what you describe. It assumes you
have a plaintext file full of to-keep filenames with each filename being
an absolute path filename (e.g., /usr/local/bin/xpdf instead of something
like xpdf with no absolute path), one such filename per line, with
nothing else in the file. The script, which I saved as fkeep.rb, looks
like this on the inside:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# syntax:
# fkeep.rb filename [path]
#
# where:
# filename is the file containing paths for files to keep
# [path] is an optional path to where this program should
# start deleting files
losers= Dir[#{Dir.getwd}/**/*]
keepers = IO.readlines ARGV.shift
startpath = ARGV.shift
if startpath
Dir.chdir startpath
end
keepers.each {|filepath| losers.delete filepath.chomp }
losers.each do |filepath|
unless File.directory?(filepath)
File.delete filepath
end
end
I've done some cursory testing with this, and it seems to work just fine,
but use it only at your own risk.
Note that this will not delete directories, because it felt like too much
work to make it *safely* delete directories. You will have to delete any
empty directories yourself if you use this script as written.

Oops. Speaking of using at your own risk . . .
That line that reads `losers= Dir[#{Dir.getwd}/**/*]` should be
*after* the conditional block. Thus, the above quoted code should look
like this instead:
keepers = IO.readlines ARGV.shift
startpath = ARGV.shift
if startpath
Dir.chdir startpath
end
losers= Dir[#{Dir.getwd}/**/*]
. . . otherwise you might end up deleting a bunch of files in the wrong
part of the directory hierarchy if you execute the program from somewhere
other than where you want files deleted. I guess I shouldn't have gotten
fancy and tried to provide a way to execute it from anywhere in the
filesystem. Sorry about that.

I'm not sure why you would have lang/gcc42 installed on FreeBSD 8, unless you needed certain extra components that didn't come with the base system compiler, which is a patched version of gcc 4.2. Are you sure your toolchain isn't using /usr/bin/cc or /usr/bin/gcc, instead of /usr/local/bin/gcc42? And I'm not sure that it's a good idea to use lang/gcc34, either. In any event, if you are determined to do this, you could try defining: setenv CC gcc34 setenv CPP cpp34 alias cc gcc34 alias gcc gcc34 alias cpp cpp34 ... and so on, in the user's shell configuration file The location of that configuration file (e.g., $HOME/.cshrc, or $HOME/.profile) and the exact syntax will obviously depend upon the shell used. Or you could redefine the PATH variable of the user in question, so that, for example, $HOME/bin precedes /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, and set ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc34 $HOME/bin/gcc ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc34 $HOME/bin/cc ln -s /usr/local/bin/cpp34 $HOME/bin/cpp and so on. Of course the aliases and links above are just typical examples, and may not work in your specific case: you have to consult the scripts in your MIPS tools in order to determine which values to use. If your user still wants to have the flexibility of using the base system compiler in some cases, without having to undo changes like those above, and only wants to use gcc34 with the MIPS tools, you could try using a per-directory environment change with the sysutils/penv port. I don't mean to be impolite, but I would have thought that someone who will be doing cross-development for MIPS would have been able to figure this out, or patch the toolchain scripts.

This is the opposite of what I want to do, but it is in the order that one would likely do it so if it is going to work, it should. This gives a benchmark to start from.

Hi,
I am looking to see if there a command or a script In BSD Os that will
allow me to ftp to a server automatically and get a file from another
server. User name and passwd will be already in the script so it will
run ftp and download a file or a JPG from that server. Like in Linux
OS
there is a command using .netrc file and you can script that file and
will automatically do what is in the file at time interval that you
want. Thanks,
In FreeBSD, there's documentation on that; read man ftp and
see the -u option.
I'm often (ab)using a Makefile to upload (send) files per FTP to
a server, and I call this make install. You can put this into
a shell script (sh) and then call it, e. g.
#!/bin/sh
FTPUSER=my_account_name_on_ftp_server
FTPPASSWD=my_very_complicated_password
SERVER=ftp.where_my_stuff_is.foo.bar
UPLOAD=/path/to/files/to/upload
cd ${UPLOAD} ftp -u ftp://${FTPUSER}:${ftppass...@${server} *
Of course, you can utilize .netrc to contain FTP access data. Then,
you just need to call pure ftp with server name, and you can
replace * with any file name(s) you want.
However, be aware that FTP doesn't encrypt passwords. You should
take into mind that using FTP with an SSH wrapper, or even
better - scp - is a more secure way to send files.

Anyone know what this CAM error at boot means? CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR
I've got an Adaptec 2200S RAID controller in a server running 5.3-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel. (We're going to upgrade Real Soon Now, but I've got to keep things going until then.) It's been running fine for years, but a few days ago, it started taking about 3 times longer than usual to boot. The error is: (probe0:aacp0:0:0:0): Data Overrun (probe0:aacp0:0:0:0): Retrying Command followed a bit later by: (probe30:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Request completed with CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR (probe30:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying Command The system seems to run ok once it boots, but taking forever to boot concerns me. Anyone know what this error means, and what I should do about it?

clarification on polkit upgrade
In /usr/ports/UPDATING, I see this: Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit, and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order. First, upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6. Then, force a rebuild and reinstall of sysutils/polkit. If you do not do this, applications which depend on polkitd will fail. It's a little unclear about the requirement for the polkit upgrade. Does this mean that `portupgrade polkit` is enough after upgrading policy kit, or not? If not -- what's needed? Would a deinstall/reinstall be needed? Is `portupgrade -f` good? I've already used `portupgrade polkit` here, and I haven't seen any problems yet, but then I haven't restarted anything that relies on polkit for a while either. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpQ2knS5uOSl.pgp Description: PGP signature

Problem with sftp server, static linking, pam and nss_ldap.
Hello,
recently we moved our users database to LDAP server, but after that sftp stops
working on our students server.
We use:
- OpenLDAP 2.4.21
- nss_ldap-1.265_3
- pam_ldap-1.8.5
- FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT amd64
When I use sftp, it drops the connection:
{volt}-{~}% sftp localhost
Connecting to localhost...
Connection closed
{volt}-{~}%
After short investigation, I've found that problem is in
/usr/libexec/sftp-server program (which is our default subsystem in sshd):
{volt}-{~}% /usr/libexec/sftp-server
No user found for uid 5567
{volt}-{~}%
what was quite weird, because sshd works perfectly with users from LDAP server
(so I assume that PAM is configured correctly).
After that, I've tried to make a simple test with program below:
===
#include sys/types.h
#include pwd.h
#include stdarg.h
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct passwd *user_pw;
user_pw = getpwuid(getuid());
if ((user_pw = getpwuid(getuid())) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, No user found for uid %lu\n,
(u_long)getuid());
return 1;
} else {
fprintf(stderr, It works %s!\nYour uid is: %lu\n,
user_pw-pw_name,
(u_long)getuid());
}
return 0;
}
===
which is almost copy-pasted from /usr/src/crypto/openssh/sftp-server-main.c
I've build it twice. Once with dynamic linking:
{volt}-{~}% cc -o test test.c
{volt}-{~}% ./test
It works bulinskp!
Your uid is: 5567
{volt}-{~}%
another one with static linking:
{volt}-{~}% cc -o test -static test.c
{volt}-{~}% ./test
No user found for uid 5567
{volt}-{~}%
As you can see, it works great with dynamic linking, but if it's build with
static linking it can't get user information from LDAP database.
Could you be so kind and help me better understand this problem and find some
solution for it (I spend some time trying to find it, but this is probably
beyond my scope)?
I would be really appreciate for any tip.
Below are information about my PAM and NSS configuration:
{volt}-{~}% cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep passwd
passwd: files ldap

{volt}-{~}% cat /etc/pam.d/sshd | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$

I'm intrigued by its low-power, fanless operation. I already have FreeBSD running on one of the older Atom mobo's, so I know not to expect high-end performance from these inexpensive processors. But that older board has an annoyingly noisy fan, and I'd like to replace it. Has anyone already tried putting FreeBSD on one of these? Any problems? closing out this thread I did go ahead and buy one of these boards and can now report that FreeBSD-8.0/i386 boots and runs on it with no apparent problems. A user in the forums reports similar success running 8.0/amd64. Extremely quiet and inexpensive board. At around $80, it is one-third the cost of the Supermicro boards. Not much use as a space heater, however; I've had it running for more than 24 hours, busily recompiling ports, and the heatsink is just barely warm to the touch. Next time I reboot it I'm going to plug it into my Kill-a-Watt meter to measure its power draw... ___ 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
