No $ uname -r 8.2-RELEASE-p4 In the above 8.2 is the release and p4 means that it's the fourth update on the 8.2 security branch. freebsd-update is warning you that your release will soon be unsupported, so there will be no more security updates.

Presumably you mean 8.2-RELEASE. http://security.freebsd.org/ says that the estimated EOL (end-of-life) for 8.2-RELEASE is February 29, 2012. Looking at the source code to freebsd-update, the EOL date is fetched from the metadata hosted by the freebsd-update servers.

If this is true, you may have a separate (possibly additional) problem, but on my 8.2-RELEASE-p4 system, freebsd-update sees I have p4 installed. I still see the above message you describe. uname -r shows p3, however. I understand this is expected behaviour on account of there being no kernel patches between p3 p4.

Is that possible or it's a delirium? Sure you can do that. Remember the rule though, that the first IP from each different network configured on an interface must use the natural netmask for that network. Second and subsequent addresses from each different network can either use the all-ones (/32) netmask, or the natural netmask. This only changed a few years ago, so there's still a lot of advice going around saying you should use the older all-ones style, but in actuality you can do it which ever of those ways you want and it won't make any functional difference.

Re: run radius in debug mode with screen
Hi, Alan
while using this verion

I can run radius as

What is /r/radiusd debug ?
radiusd - is rc script in freebsd.
actually it is /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd debug

FreeBSD Gateway, Crossover
Hello, I'm trying to setup a small home network, It consists of my FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 box connected to my modem (just a modem, not modem/router) and two other systems connected directly via ethernet to the freebsd box. I'm able to connect to the internet with the FreeBSD box. I can get an IP via DHCP from my ISP. However, I can't seem to figure out how to setup the gateway routes and the IP addresses for the other system. I'd like to have the internal network be on 192.168.1.0/24. I have 2x 2-port NICs in the freebsd box. em0 - Internet - 1.2.3.4 em1 - System1 - 192.168.1.1 em2 - System2 - 192.168.1.2 I'm kindof lost here. I've played with it a bit, trying to set 192.168.1.0/24 on em1 and em2, then setting the specific IP address on system1 and system2 respectively. I've also tried manually adding routes from 192.168.1.0/24 to 1.2.3.4 (my external IP) to no avail. The system1/2 boxes cannot ping the freebsd box, nor vise-versa. That implies it's not a routing problem, but a problem with the systems getting a proper IP address. Anyone have any tips?

Even if I forced the deinstall without letting the dependencies get in the way, wouldn't that break the dependency registration (+REQUIRED_BY) for all of those packages in the future? Yes. I've been planning a very similar update -- postgresql 9.0 to 9.1 -- and what I've come up with so far is this: 0) Backup *everything* 1) Stop postgresql daemon and any services that depend on postgresql 2) Move the postgresql data directory aside: # mv ~pgsql/data ~pgsql/data-9.0.5 3) Optional. If you have WITH_PGSQL_VER defined in /etc/make.conf, or similar update it at this point. Or delete it -- ports will pick up the new version automatically once you've updated to it. 4) Now for the updating bit. I'm going to use portmaster's '-o' functionality to swap out the postgresql versions. (portupgrade has very similar functionality if you prefer that.) postgresql is trickier than most, because there have to be both -server and -client ports to deal with. I also have postgresql-contrib-9.0.5 installed, which isn't critical but needs similar treatment. Everything depends on the -client port, so we start with that: # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-client \ postgresql-client-9.0.5 # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-server \ postgresql-server-9.0.5_1 # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-contrib \ postgresql-contrib-9.0.5 5) Now rebuild everything that depends on the new postgresql client port. Use '-x' and '-R' to avoid rebuilding the ports already updated # portmaster -R -r postgresql-client-9.1.1_1 \ -x postgresql-server-9.1.1_1 -x postgresql-contrib-9.1.1_1 6) Re-init the postgresql cluster # su - pgsql % mkdir ~/data % initdb -D ~/data -E utf8 --locale C (or use the rc.d script) % vi ~/data/postgresql.conf(etc...) 7) Restart the postgresql database # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start 8) Reload databases from backup. Restart all dependent services. 9) ??? 10) Profit! This does require an appreciable period of system downtime, but as that's fine for my purposes, I haven't put any effort into thinking about how to minimize that. A good thing to do if downtime is a big deal for you would be to build updated packages of everything postgresql related off-line and use portmaster's '-P' package mode to install them. Similarly, make backup packages of everything you're updating (pkg_create -b pkgname) so if you need to back everything out you can just swap those packages back in rather than doing a full-scale recovery from backup. Using this method for a very big database is not amazingly practical -- in that case, using pg_upgrade(8) would probably be preferable, but that's not going to entirely simple given the constraints of the ports system. You'll need to have both the previous and target versions of the postgresql-client and postgresql-contrib installed simultaneously, but those ports all conflict with each other. You'll also need to have two separate data directories -- the original one and one for the new version. The default layout on Linux nowadays includes the postgresql major version in the data directory path and in the names of most conflicting applications, but this capability hasn't come to the ports yet.

Re: Major version changes using portupgrade?
On 2011/12/04, at 14:13, Matthew Seaman wrote: 4) Now for the updating bit. I'm going to use portmaster's '-o' functionality to swap out the postgresql versions. (portupgrade has very similar functionality if you prefer that.) postgresql is trickier than most, because there have to be both -server and -client ports to deal with. I also have postgresql-contrib-9.0.5 installed, which isn't critical but needs similar treatment. Everything depends on the -client port, so we start with that: # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-client \ postgresql-client-9.0.5 # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-server \ postgresql-server-9.0.5_1 # portmaster -o databases/postgresql91-contrib \ postgresql-contrib-9.0.5 This is the problem bit. The -o doesn't work with the ones I'm dealing with because of conflicts between 8.4 and 9.1. 9.1 *won't even build*. If you can find a way to get around that, then you can make life even easier for yourself by doing a recursive build of all of the things that depend on the client. It's getting around the conflict that I'm trying to figure out... the rest is handled. And by the way, if you're not already doing a recursive build then you can do the server upgrade more simply.. there are no dependencies attached to the server (normally) so you can just pkg_delete it and install 9.1. ___ 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: FreeBSD Gateway, Crossover
From: APseudoUtopia apseudouto...@gmail.com Hello, I'm trying to setup a small home network, It consists of my FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 box connected to my modem (just a modem, not modem/router) and two other systems connected directly via ethernet to the freebsd box. I'm able to connect to the internet with the FreeBSD box. I can get an IP via DHCP from my ISP. However, I can't seem to figure out how to setup the gateway routes and the IP addresses for the other system. I'd like to have the internal network be on 192.168.1.0/24. I have 2x 2-port NICs in the freebsd box. em0 - Internet - 1.2.3.4 em1 - System1 - 192.168.1.1 em2 - System2 - 192.168.1.2 I'm kindof lost here. I've played with it a bit, trying to set 192.168.1.0/24 on em1 and em2, then setting the specific IP address on system1 and system2 respectively. I've also tried manually adding routes from 192.168.1.0/24 to 1.2.3.4 (my external IP) to no avail. The system1/2 boxes cannot ping the freebsd box, nor vise-versa. That implies it's not a routing problem, but a problem with the systems getting a proper IP address. Anyone have any tips? Other than don't do it that way, you mean? grin Having two different interfaces with the same 'network' configuration, Where either address -cannot- reach *every* host on that 'network' Recommendation: IP addresses: Assign em1 192.168.1.1/24 Assign em2 129.168.2.1/24 Assign System1 192.168.1.2/24 Assign System2 192.168.2.2/24 Routing: System1; default route 192.168.1.1 System2; default route 192.168.2.1 Server: default route 1.2.3.4 (should have auto routes for 192.68.1.0/24 and 192.68.2.0/24) If you _really_ want everything on the same internal network, the easiest way is to put in an ethernet hub/switch, and connect everything to that hub/switch -- only 1 interface per device. ___ 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
