Hi, before I begin write my problem, sorry for my english(if anyone speak russian it would be good). So, here is I want to install on my gw/router FreeBSD 8.1 release in the next week. And in my home net I have torrent clients, how can I do speed limiting for only torrent connections. I'll use ipfw firewall and nat.

I suspect the best results can be had from an approach in between these; details below. ... being up-to-date with the ports tree generally *does* give you better results than not. Ports are a moving target, dependent entirely on upstream changes. This last is an oversimplification. Not all ports even _have_ an upstream, and those that do (granted, the great majority) depend not only on upstream changes but also on the maintainer's and committers' ability to keep up with those changes. Expecting that a snapshot taken months or weeks ago will work just as well as one updated in the last hour is plain daft ... ported software generally does improve over time. Updates that fix problems are way more common that updates that introduce them ... Couldn't this as well be said of FreeBSD itself? If it were universally accepted, there would be no need for the stable or security branches and the considerable effort that goes into maintaining them: everyone would just run -CURRENT. One _huge_ advantage of starting with a release _and its corresponding set of ports packages_ is that everything is self-consistent. This tends not to be true of snapshots taken between releases, if only because no one has time to do that much release engineering for every update of every port. I tried to follow the OP's approach a few years ago, and got burned rather badly. By the time I had the system working well enough to start on the project I had intended to work on, the time budgeted for the setup _and_ the work had been almost entirely consumed in setup! I get the impression that M. Talon may have had similar experiences. I've recently started on a new system, and am planning to install 8.1-RELEASE, including the corresponding ports tree; then install what ports I can from packages and also fetch the corresponding distfiles; and finally build -- from release-corresponding ports -- any that aren't available as packages or where I want non-default OPTION settings. That approach should avoid most nasty surprises while getting things set up and working. _After_ everything is installed and configured properly will be plenty soon enough to consider whether any ports need to be updated -- and the already- installed-and-working package collection will provide a fallback in case of trouble trying to build any updated versions. ___ 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 problem is if/when you need to update a port as a result of a security advisory. If your ports tree is very much out of date then it's likely that updating that one port will require a number of dependencies to be updated as well, sometimes all the ports depending on one or more of the updated dependencies need to be updated as well and the resultant bag of worms can take quite a lot of sorting out.

Re: port upgrading
On Sunday 26 September 2010, Roland Smith wrote: If you are upgrading to another major version of FreeBSD (say 7.x to 8.x), make a list of all used ports with `portmaster -l ports.list`. Then delete all ports before updating the system. After the update, re-install the 'root' and 'leaf' ports from ports.list. A more convenient approach is to run 'portmaster --list-origins' which produces a list of root and leaf ports which you can feed back into portmaster when reinstalling the ports, all the other dependencies should sort themselves out.

OT. Duplicating Disk.
Hello all. This is kind off topic. U have and old laptopn, an Acer Travelmate 4670. It has a sata disk, 120Gb. It has been working fine in all these years. I have installed Freebsd with its boot manager and inside has Windows and a distro linux. I choose what OS to use depending on my needs every time I boot. I have decided to give it fresh air and I bought a disk of 500GB. Instead of installing everything again I would like to duplicate entire disk, as is, with its MBR and all partitions for all the different OS's. I bought an USB enclosure that is working fine. The machine recognice the new disk if I attach it as a USB disk (in all OS no problem on that). As a test also I decided to change disks and install somethig, no problem at all. My question is. What would be your advice on what tool to use to duplicate entire disk? (the adjust of size for the partitions of each different OS can be done later, no problem I guess). I was recommend to use DiskImageXML, booting alone and copy the disk but it does not work. Not yet. I guess the problem is that the original disk still has a 4Gb partition with all the Acer tools , the first partition, to recover teh Windows XP origibal system (type or partition EISA). Not sure on that but that program is not working. I receive an error when booting. On my desktop I used to use old Norton Ghost 2003 with my IDE disk and still work fine, but here does not work at all since the USB ports are not recognized.

I used the sample configuration file available on

After a few tests, it appears that the gate has fully access to the
internet, but I can't open connections from clients to distant servers
(web, ssh, ...).
Checking pflog log file, I can't see anything about those timeouts,
even
if I added the log directive in every block/pass command.
Everything else seems to work, I can talk with my DNS from the
internet,
ssh redirections to another pc also seems to works.
I just can't access the Internet from a client of my network...
For debugging, I commented out the options and the 'block all in/out'
directives.
Here's my config file http://pastebin.com/Nim2zBCx
Is there someone understanding what I'm doing wrong?
The firewall ruleset is a trifle overly complex for a quick glance;
study
and analysis would take some doing. However, if you can reach the
internet
from the firewall box and other client computers behind your NAT can't
(which is what it sounds like you're describing) it may be just that you
are
missing gateway_enable=YES in your /etc/rc.conf.
Turning this ON makes your firewall box into a router. The status of
this
can be checked with: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding - a 0 means no
gateway
and a 1 means gateway.

Re: freebsd-update 8.1 to 8.1-p1
Is not p1 compiled in kernel during make buildkernel operation? If yes, /boot/kernel of 8.1 and /boot/kernel 8.1-p1 must be different. So binary diff of /boot/kernel also must be installed during freebsd-update. It's my opinion. Why not?

Re: Free BSD 8.1
Quoth Mike Clarke on Monday, 27 September 2010: On Monday 27 September 2010, per...@pluto.rain.com wrote: I've recently started on a new system, and am planning to install 8.1-RELEASE, including the corresponding ports tree; then install what ports I can from packages and also fetch the corresponding distfiles; and finally build -- from release-corresponding ports -- any that aren't available as packages or where I want non-default OPTION settings. That approach should avoid most nasty surprises while getting things set up and working. _After_ everything is installed and configured properly will be plenty soon enough to consider whether any ports need to be updated -- and the already- installed-and-working package collection will provide a fallback in case of trouble trying to build any updated versions. The problem is if/when you need to update a port as a result of a security advisory. If your ports tree is very much out of date then it's likely that updating that one port will require a number of dependencies to be updated as well, sometimes all the ports depending on one or more of the updated dependencies need to be updated as well and the resultant bag of worms can take quite a lot of sorting out. The little and often approach of keeping the ports tree up to date could be less traumatic. -- Mike Clarke That's the maxim under which I operate. Furthermore, if something does break, it's a lot easier to narrow down what broke it if you updated one or two ports instead of twenty or thirty. I use the same principle in following STABLE -- frequently update/build so if anything goes wrong, the number of culpable commits is small. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden| sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com| http://chipsquips.com pgpYFGtRRPCCb.pgp Description: PGP signature

What would be your advice on what tool to use to duplicate entire disk? (the adjust of size for the partitions of each different OS can be done later, no problem I guess). Resizing partitions can be difficult. FreeBSD's ufs has growfs(8), but otherwise resizing is usually done by dumping, resizing, and restoring. Since you have Linux familiarity, I'd suggest http://www.clonezilla.org. It will make a backup of an entire disk, including binary copies of filesystems it doesn't understand, to 2G compressed files. It can also copy device to device. Later versions even recognize and understand UFS filesystems. FreeBSD can also duplicate a disk byte-for-byte with dd(1). Be warned: it will take a while, copying blank space as well as used. Important: make a backup of the original drive somewhere else first (see above). When using dd for this, it's critical that the source and destination devices are correct. To copy ad0 to da0 (make sure the source and destination devices are correct): # dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/da0 bs=1m The same thing can be done with Linux (Clonezilla provides a shell), although the bs parameter has to be 1M (case sensitive). ___ 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

Subject: sudo anomaly
I have a userID, admin, that I add to my systems to use when I
perform system admin functions. I also use this ID when using
X-windows, never starting X as root user.
So I needed to check my mail for daily run outputs and so I tried to
use su then mail, but I got admin's mail. So I exited su, and tried
sudo mail. I got root's mailbox nd I deleted all but two emails.
When I q(uit) mail, it said it saved 2 messages in mbox. But when I
try to go back in it says I don't have any mail. There is no root
directory in /var/mail.
All that is correct.
Did sudo lose my mbox?
Nope. _you_ did.
The good news is that you merely misplaced it -- it _is_ were it's
always been, you're just looking in the wrong place for it.`
'mbox' != 'incoming mailbox'
Can anyone verify this anomaly?
no anomaly. simple *USER* error.
Look in root's _HOME_DIRECTORY_. You'll find a file called 'mbox'
=there=.
That's where 'already read' mail is saved.
When logged in as root, use 'mail -f mbox' to see your old mail.
BTW, if you 'su root' and _then_ set evnrionment variable 'USER' to
'root', mail(1) _will_ fetch root's mail.
Thanks. I used mail under unix eons ago, and I don't remember ever having
to use a switch to get saved mail, but perhaps I've simply forgotten. I
use KMail and Thunderbird (under Winblows), but I needed to check daily
output scripts...
did you use 'su root' or 'su - root'? the '-' makes a humongous
difference.
Thanks, I had forgotten about that...

I'm wondering what folks are doing when setting up multiple (more than 1, but less than 10) machines.

Short of enabling root ssh logins or writing makefiles, what would be the best approach to handing the above? Every configuration file that I want to change, I copy first to ~/setup/hostname/, each of which is a git repository. (Of course you can use any revision control system you like.) For managing files, I use list files combined with a couple of perl-scripts, called check.pl and install.pl. The list file details where each file is to be copied to and what permissions it should have. The check scripts checks for differences between the files in the repository and the installed files. The install.pl does the obvious. :-) You can find this elaborated on one of my webpages: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/unix/configfiles.html I tend to use rsync to copy these setup directories from my workstation to other machines (which also backs them up!). Then I log in by ssh to run the check and install scripts. It should be possible to extend the check and install scripts to work over ssh directly.

Personally, I've used FreeBSD in a laptop in a few occasions but after trying out PCBSD, this path requires the least effort to setup a Desktop. The installation setting up of hardware is too easy. The kernel that comes with it, does a good job in recognizing the wireless chip, sound card, NIC, display other stuff. Even though it uses the PBI format to install software on PCBSD, one can still use port to install additional softwares on it by using the portjail console. Both PBI port works together well. In short, it definitely worth a try! :) I have tried to install PC-BSD without success. In the process, the screen turned black and i had to turn the CQ10 off.
