/etc/passwd and char
Hi, Question: What is the purpose of the char in GECOS fields, e.g. user's name field, in /etc/passwd file ? $ grep /etc/passwd root:*:0:0:Charlie :/root:/bin/csh operator:*:2:5:System :/:/usr/sbin/nologin svn:*:1002:1002:User :/home/svn:/usr/sbin/nologin The field containing char represents -c comment option in pw(8), which sets up GECOS fields (user's full name, etc). The pw(8) states further: ... The pw utility allows 8-bit characters in the passwd GECOS field ... ... Using 8-bit characters may also affect other programs that transmit the contents of the GECOS field over the Internet, such as fingerd(8), and a small number of TCP/IP clients, such as IRC, where full names specified in the passwd file may be used by default. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand ...

Maybe this can be used/ajdusted? Probably to copy from an existing portto create a new one isn't a best idea but prehaps it is a good start to get the things done. About the what I know to be exactly a 'metaport' is lang/php5-extensions. Why not just keep a list of ports or packages? I believe the modern management tools (portmaster/portupgrade) can install them smoothly in one command. If the what you want is a binary package then what if the 'pkgng' stuff has or will have such a feature: to bundle a metaport in a package? And, the pc-bsd (http://www.pcbsd.org) seem to have such an AMP package out of the box (or downloaded via its package manager) -- Peter Vereshagin pe...@vereshagin.org (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: A0E26627 ___ 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

It will install the packages without compiling. BUT we can not tell you which php modules you need. So it could be that you later on need php-gd or some other option. Then pkg_add -r php-module name will install the missing module. You could install all the php modules, but i think (know) it is not wise to do so. regards ___ 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 iSCSI client ?
On 2012-10-29 08:29, John Levine wrote: I'm trying to set up a freebsd image under vmware, but I need more disk space than the vmware hosts offer. So the guy who runs the hosting place suggests getting a 1U disk server and using iSCSI over gigabit Ethernet so I can build zfs volumes from the iSCSI disks. Poking around, the reports say that FreeBSD is a pretty good iSCSI server in such forms as freenas, but a lousy iSCSI client, with the first problem being that that kludges are required to get iSCSI volumes mounted early enough in the boot process for ZFS to find them. Is this still the case in FreeBSD 9? I'd rather not use NFS, since the remote disks have mysql databases, and mysql and NFS are not friends. An alternative is to mount the iSCSI under vmware, so zfs sees them as normal disks. Anyone tried that? TIA, John I don't have an answer for you at the moment, but I can tell you that I just started a new server build this morning with the intent of using it as an iSCSI client and running ZFS on the drive. In my case however its going to be a file server that doesn't have very much heavy I/O, with the intention of using compression on the ZFS file set. In my case a script ran after start up to mount the drive would work if it fails. I will let you know what I find out, server is in the middle of a buildworld to get it updated to the p4 release. Yes you can mount as a drive through VMware and use ZFS just fine, I have done a lot of recent tests using ZFS as the boot volume under VMware. This new server will be my first production server to use what I have learned from those tests, as its system drive mounted through VMware (ESX 4.1) and is booting from ZFS. Once the install of the buildworld is complete I will add a 150G ZFS data set on our HP Lefthand Networks SAN, run some tests and let you know the outcome of them. -- Thanks, Dean E.

PXE tftp - double boot
Hello! Tell me please, how can i boot from tftp server (throught pxe) several copies FreeBSD from different path (For example: /pxeroot/freebsd1 and /pxeroot/freebsd2)? I see variale rootpath at source sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.c. I compiled several pxeboot files (there i changed variable rootpath from / to /pxeroot/freebsd[1-2]), and i booted this files throught pxelinux. Booting stoped at boot kernel. -- Respectfully, Stanislav Putrya System administrator FotoStrana.Ru Ltd.
