Very suspicious stack trace
We had an app crash and the resulting core dump produced a very suspicious/confusing stack trace: #0 0x0008011d438c in thr_kill () from /lib/libc.so.7 #1 0x0008012722bb in abort () from /lib/libc.so.7 #2 0x0008011fb70c in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7 #3 0x0008011fbb95 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7 #4 0x0008011fdaea in _malloc_thread_cleanup () from /lib/libc.so.7 #5 0x0008011fdc86 in _malloc_thread_cleanup () from /lib/libc.so.7 #6 0x0008011fc8e9 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7 #7 0x0008011fccc7 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7 #8 0x0008011ffe8f in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.7 #9 0x00080127374b in memchr () from /lib/libc.so.7 #10 0x00080125e6e9 in __srget () from /lib/libc.so.7 #11 0x0008012352dd in vsscanf () from /lib/libc.so.7 #12 0x000801220087 in fscanf () from /lib/libc.so.7 This trace resulted from a call to fscanf, as follows: char sensor[21]; fscanf(in, "%20s", sensor); We've verified that the data being read was correct, and clearly the buffer in which fscanf is storing the string it reads is valid (i.e., it's not NULL). So what would lead malloc() into calling abort()?

Wait one hour :) I had a stange behaviour with some release of FreeBSD (around 7). We are 7 hours ahead of UTC; after a fresh install I usually do a system upgrade to be sure to be up with every patches. It occured to me a couple of times that the installworld would not work, even though I adjkerntz before. The only way I had was to change the CMOS clock to the local time and change it back to UTC after installing world. Of course, after 7 hours the problem would disappear.

Please avoid cross-posting without a good reason, or at least ask pardon for it. msynctool and/or fetchmail might be an option. In any case you need an agent who can pop the mail and push it to another place, it has nothing to do with your MTA. It's more like MUA to MUA, pardon my french. That is precisely whet fetchmail was created for, but I don't know anything about the Exchange ActiveSync protocol(s) to know if fetchmail could directly use it. AFAIK the Exchange ActiveSync protocol was built for high latency low bandwith networks, so maybe you need something more specific and _perhaps_ you can interface _that_ to fetchmail somehow. Maybe something that sits in between Exchange ActiveSync and delivers an off-the-shelf protocol such as imap (if you want to manage folders you will need imap or better), somthing like: [ Exchange Active Sync ] <--EASP--> [X agent]<--IMAP-->[fetchmail] Now all you need to find is that X agent ;-) Best, Alejandro Imass > > Thanks for your time! > > Jack Raats > ___ > 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" > ___ 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"

Re: Compiling kernel with gcc43
-Wnoerror should disable it, but I don't know enough about the FreeBSD build infrastructure to tell you where it needs to go. Worst comes to worst you can just delete all of the -Werrors. Disabling -Werror will not cause any problems. -Werror means "treat warnings as errors". It's very useful for development but in your case, where you're starting with a known good source tree with no warnings with earlier compilers, it's not necessary to have the option enabled. If the warnings are pointing to legitimate bugs, those bugs also exist in a kernel built by gcc 4.2, so your kernel can't be any worse than what you already have. ___ 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"

Thanks Jerry. I am looking into a Openvox A400p01 FXO board but dunno if it's supported in FBSD. Being that a list run by Digium I dunno if it's wise to ask questions about competing cards?

You could check by running xrandr in a terminal window. It should list the different outputs of your graphics card. In my case: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1280x720 59.9 1152x768 59.8 1024x768 60.0 59.9 800x60060.3 59.9 640x48059.9 59.4 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) This means I have outputs "VGA-0", "LVDS" and "S-video". All you need in xorg.conf is a monitor section for each of these outputs with the Identifier string matching an output name.

Less to restore, less risk of stuff being out of date or corrupt. So less risk than a stripe. Marginal maybe i agree, but less all the same.

Telephony Hardware Support in FBSD
Hello, I have searched the Hardware FAQ and Release Notes on the main FBSD portal and I can't seem to find a list of supported Telephony devices for Asterisk sucha as those produced by Digium, Rhino, Sangoma, Voicetronix, Pika, etc. Does anyone happen to know if there is a FBSD Telephony group/page/list/forum where I can find a list of compatible HW for FBSD?

Can't tell for sure from the small snippet of output you've given there though. Are you trying to build apache from source outside the ports?

None of the above, probably. As you're using a custom firewall initialisation script, you don't need to worry about the variables for controlling the various pre-canned scripts. The text in UPDATING seems fairly clear to me: for the 20090926 update, various rc.conf variables prefixed by ipv6 are deprecated in favour of similar variables *suffixed* by ipv6 -- this is a simple matter of editing to sort out. There is also a new overall control knob for turning on or off IPv6 capability entirely. The new thing here is that it allows you to make that change per-interface rather than for the whole machine. Given you want IPv6 capability on all interfaces, just use ipv6_prefer="YES" You need to look at the ifconfig_ifX* or ipv6_addrs_ifX variables. Given that you've said your machine is a router for ipv6, you can't use rtsol(8), so you should be manually configuring addresses on your interfaces. You may not need to make any changes there: even so, shouldn't be too hard to debug. For the 20091202 update, again it is pretty much a replacement of variables with an ipv6 prefix, to ones with an ipv6 suffix. All the variables mentioned just detail the local IP addresses and networks, and let you select which firewall script you want to use. As it says, the ipv6 configuration exactly parallels the ipv4 configuration now.
