If you're replacing the system sendmail with the version from ports,
then you need to update /etc/mail/mailer.conf -- something like this:

# $FreeBSD: stable/9/etc/mail/mailer.conf 93858 2002-04-05 04:25:14Z
gshapiro $
#
# Execute the real sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases  /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
hoststat/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
purgestat   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

Also, don't confuse the version of the sendmail from the config file
with the version in the binary -- both of them show up in the SMTP banner:

% telnet localhost smtp
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.5/8.14.5; Fri, 3 Aug
2012 09:34:40 +0100 (BST)
   ^
The first one is the version of the binaries, the second is the
configuration version, which you can easily change by modifying the
DZ8.14.5 line in sendmail.cf

Cheers,

installing rt40 from ports

2012-08-03 Thread Roby Sadeli
Hi.

I am planning to deploy rt40 (sqlite backend) with nginx (fastcgi).
(nginx-devel and rt40 from /usr/ports)

After installing rt40, I setup the initial database by executing
/usr/local/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init

I have no problem using the standalone server:
/usr/local/bin/standalone_httpd and rt40 works as expected.

I have tried setting up rt40 using nginx with no success.
I try running fcgi from command line: /usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -n -u
www -g rt -p 9000 -- /usr/local/sbin/rt-server.fcgi
but always starts for a moment, then crashes.

My nginx.conf is as follows:
location /rt/ {
root /usr/local/share/rt40/html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING   $query_string;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE   $content_type;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO  $fastcgi_script_name;
} # location /rt/

location /rt/NoAuth/ {
alias   /usr/local/share/rt40/html/NoAuth/;
} # location /rt/NoAuth/


Please help me.
Thanks.

Fyi, my system is:

Sqlite is really only suitable for development usage: RT expects a more
fully featured database that supports concurrent usage by several
instances simultaneously.  This may well be the problem you're seeing
when trying to fire up spawn-fcgi, if that is trying to run several fcgi
threads.

Personally I prefer and recommend postgresql as the backend to RT.

 www -g rt -p 9000 -- /usr/local/sbin/rt-server.fcgi
 but always starts for a moment, then crashes.

Does it generate a core file?

Is there anything relevant in the Log?  If necessary, try turning up the
log level in ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rt40/RT_SiteConfig.pm --

Set($LogToSyslog, debug);

and possibly enable the 'all.log' by following the instructions in
/etc/syslog.conf

Cheers,

Matthew

Right!

Let's also hope that most patents that could harm us (should there

And you think this is surprising, why?

Have you ever read the actual U.C. Berkeley License for, say, the
BSD 4.4-Lite software source-code distribution?

Do you know that Microsoft has a *PAID*FOR* license, for using, AND
redistributing, Unix; -both- from the  University of Calif. (for BSD),
_and_ from what was then ATT Bell Labs (for Sys V)?

Do you think MS is doing something 'improper' by preserving the copyright
notice in _licensed_ code that they are *LEGALLY* using?

BTW 'copyright' and 'patent' are two _very_ different subjects, with 
different rules, and governed by different laws.

True. As most technology that ever microsoft invented is a quickly
reengineered or just stoled things that was already done many years 
before in many other systems, very often BSD, then it is not a problem



Unless Congress
pulls a Mickey Mouse Protection Act-lookalike on patents by extending

then it will still hit USA users only. FreeBSD master site can simply be 
moved.

No government is known for that. but that's off topic.

Re: Cant boot 9-RELEASE on Intel L440GX+ based system

2012-08-03 Thread Sergey Listopad
2012/8/3 jb jb.1234a...@gmail.com:
 Sergey Listopad psychosensor at gmail.com writes:


 Hi.

 I try to boot topic on retro dual PIII Intel L440GX+ based system. It
 is onboard AIC-7896 SCSI controller with 1 COMPAQ HDD. CDROM is IDE.
 When I try boot from installation CD, boot stuck on

 CD Loader 1.2
 ...
 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
 Consoles: internal video/keyboard
 BIOS CD is cd0
 BIOS drive A: is disk0

 If I remove HDD, system (/boot/loader) boot from CD just fine. Then I
 insert HDD (hotswap) and able to install on it. But after reboot (with
 installation CD disk removed from drive) system unable to boot. And
 stuck on the same place, after
 ...
 BIOS drive A: is disk0

 Maybe anybody can help me to resolve this issue. I can post any
 additional information which may be helpful.

 Thanx.


 This has been reported for FreeBSD and PC-BSD for quite some time.

 The booting sequence always looks like this:
 ...
 BIOS drive A: is disk0    last message seen
 BIOS drive B: is disk1    or this
 ...

 Based on Google search results:
 - solved by disabling SATA in BIOS
 - combination of IDE (ATA) and SATA disks caused a problem, disconnecting
   either one solved it; it could also mean a problem with hd device driver
 - old/buggy firmware; BIOS update solved the problem
 - disable ACPI, or Firewire, or USB emulation, or ... in BIOS :-)
 - A wild guess could be that there's something on the RAID volume that's
   keeping the boot loader from working. Maybe the partition table is wrong
   in a subtle way? If you can get the RAID array to work *after* you boot
   from a FreeBSD installation CD (i.e. boot the machine without the
   drives, add drives later), try clearing the first megabyte of the array
   (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdrive bs=1m count=1).
 - With my rocketraid somethingsomething PCI-SATA2 card with disks
   connected crashes the BTX loader. Connecting the disks to the internal
   via epia motherboard solved the problem ...
   I have a feeling that it might be some combinations of BTX, BIOS and
   RAID firmware that causes these crashes.
 - CC'ing John Baldwin on this, as he has knowledge of BTX's internals.

 For those of you who are adventurous:
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/boot/i386/loader/


I'he updated BIOS and now all works as expected.
System is bootable from installation CD with HDD connected, system
bootable from HDD.

Thanks for help.

Bacula on FreeBSD Concurrent Jobs

2012-08-03 Thread dweimer
I am trying to set-up my FreeBSD Bacula server to run concurrent jobs, 
however it only runs one job at a time, and doesn't report why its 
waiting to execute the second job.  I have contacted the Bacula-Users 
mail list, and know one there seems to have an idea why my configuration 
isn't working.


Thought I would check here and see if anyone else is running concurrent 
Bacula jobs on their FreeBSD servers.


I have Bacula 5.2.10 installed from ports on a 9.0-RELEASE-P3 system, 
my backups are being written to a eSATA disk volumes.  I have added the 
Max Concurrent Jobs entries everywhere that the Bacula tips and tricks 
manual page says to add them.  Even though I am running backups to disk 
I went the extra step of adding a spool directory, after it wasn't 
working and still no dice.


If anyone has this working and knows of any special tricks required on 
FreeBSD to do this, and could pass those on that would be great.

I believe the literal answer is downgrade.  :-(
The more useful answer is it has been replaced by
'boincmgr'.  hich, unfortunately, does not seem to pick up
