Try this as a crontab entry: 0 3 * * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap cron update Two points to note: 1) The 'cron' verb is important for anyone setting up an automated job like this. It causes portsnap to wait for a random number of seconds (but less than 1 hour) before connecting to the portsnap server. Since the tendency is for people to schedule cron jobs to happen on the hour, this helps to avoid everyone connecting at once and smooths out the server load. 2) This assumes that you have previously run portsnap fetch extract to get yourself a portsnap-ready copy of the ports tree. You only need to do that once, but you should move aside any pre-existing copy of /usr/ports obtained by any means other than portsnap(8) before you do (but keep anything under /usr/ports/distfiles and maybe /usr/ports/packages). Something like: cd /usr mv ports ports.old mkdir ports mv ports.old/distfiles ports/distfiles mv ports.old/packages ports/packages portsnap fetch extract Although this may be complicated if any of /usr/ports, /usr/ports/distfiles or /usr/ports/packages are on a separate partition or ZFS. I say 'move aside' due to the caution imbued by having been a professional sysadmin for more years than I care to remember.

There's been some discussion about this, but it hasn't happened yet. If it did, the imported version would be fairly minimal, and anyone wanting to use it for serious development would probably just grab the ports version anyhow. If all you want to do is pull down a copy of the sources then you can turn off most of the options to reduce the fairly large dependency tree to something more manageable: BDB=off: Berkeley Database BOOK=off: Install the Subversion Book ENHANCED_KEYWORD=on: Enhanced svn:keyword support FREEBSD_TEMPLATE=on: FreeBSD Project log template GNOME_KEYRING=off: Build with GNOME Keyring auth support KDE_KWALLET=off: Build with KDE KWallet auth support MAINTAINER_DEBUG=off: Build debug version MOD_DAV_SVN=off: mod_dav_svn module for Apache 2.X MOD_DONTDOTHAT=off: mod_dontdothat for Apache 2.X NEON=off: WebDAV/Delta-V repo access module (neon) P4_STYLE_MARKERS=off: Perforce-style conflict markers SASL=off: SASL support SERF=on: WebDAV/Delta-V repo access module (serf) STATIC=off: Build static version (no shared libs) SVNAUTHZ_VALIDATE=off: install svnauthz-validate SVNMUCC=off: Install Multiple URL Command Client SVNSERVE_WRAPPER=off: Enable svnserve wrapper TEST=off: Run subversion test suite There is the new devel/subversion-static port which does all that, and compiles subversion with static linkage so it has *no* runtime dependencies on anything else. The disadvantage here is that if there is, say, a security hole discovered in the one of the libraries subversion links against, you won't secure the statically linked copy of subversion simply by updating to a fixed version of the shlib. subversion-static is really only intended for providing a one-off binary package that people can download and install in order to bootstrap a more standard FreeBSD environment. 1) Choose a SVN mirror close to you. Currently there are two choices: svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org -- Western USA svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org -- Eastern USA Use whichever one gives you best performance. Certainly from Europe at the moment us-east seems to be the best choice. The number of SVN mirrors and their global coverage should increase over time, but it will never need as many servers as the old cvsup network. The canonical list of SVN mirrors is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn-mirrors.html 2) Choose a protocol for access the SVN servers. Your choices in order of preference are svn:// https:// http:// Use svn:// for best performance. If you're concerned about MITM attacks injecting trojans into the FreeBSD sources, then use https and be sure to verify the certificate hashes on first connection. Otherwise, if you're stuck behind a restrictive firewall, use http:// 3) Choose which branch you want to mirror. It's relatively easy to switch between branches and doesn't involve downloading the entire contents of /usr/src all over again if you change your mind. However right now, the viable choices are head --- Current, the bleeding edge, really only suitable for development purposes stable/9 --- 9-STABLE Still a rapidly changing development branch, but not quite so close to the edge, and with less bleeding involved. stable/8 --- 8-STABLE Ditto. releng/9.1 --- 9.1-RELEASE This tracks any security patches to version 9.1. However, in this case you would be better advised to use freebsd-update(8) to maintain your /usr/src directory tree instead. Similarly releng/9.0 releng/8.3 releng/7.4 for other supported release versions. Don't be fooled into pulling down release/9.1.0 or the like -- this is not a *branch* but a *snapshot*. If you think you want release/9.1.0 then you really want releng/9.1 instead. 4) Make sure /usr/src is empty. Pre-existing files can cause you grief at some unexpected later date even if they don't cause the initial checkout to fail. 5) Put it all together. Run a command like so to check out the content of /usr/src for your chosen branch from your chosen

start with man devd.conf
You can add your own devd files in /usr/local/etc/devd/
Something along the lines of -
attach 200 {
device-name cuaU[0-9]+;
match vendor 0x067b;
match product 0x2303;
action sleep 2; cd /dev; ln -s ${device-name} upsmonitor;
};
use usbconfig to get info. I am thinking with the similarity of the
two
you may need to rely on bus and hubaddr or devaddr to keep each
device
identified by usb port location.
OK, so I was looking in the wrong direction, which might explain why my
searching wasn't finding anything.
However I might still be out of luck, after doing some checking, and a
reboot the only difference I can find is below.
dev.uplcom.0.%location: bus=1 hubaddr=1 port=0 devaddr=2 interface=0
dev.uplcom.1.%location: bus=1 hubaddr=3 port=0 devaddr=3 interface=0
The devices have switch at this point, all info from usbconfig, dmesg,
looks identical, these two lines from the sysctl -a | grep uplcom
output is all that changed, the hubaddr=1 and hubaddr=3 have switched,
however the man devd.conf has a variable list, to use, and doesn't seem
to have an option to match agains that hubaddr variable.
Variable Description
bus Device name of parent bus.
cdev Device node path if one is created by the devfs(5)

cisproductCIS-product.
cisvendor CIS-vendor.

function Card functions.
interface Interface ID (USB)
intclass Interface Class (USB)
intprotocol Interface Protocol (USB)
intsubclass Interface Sub-class (USB)
manufacturer Manufacturer ID (pccard).

notifyMatch the value of the ``notify'' variable.
parentParent device
port Hub port number (USB)
product Product ID (pccard/USB).
release Hardware revision (USB)

slot Card slot.
subvendor Sub-vendor ID.
subdevice Sub-device ID.
subsystem Matches a subsystem of a system, see below.
systemMatches a system type, see below.
type Type of notification, see below.

But the action line above does give me an idea though, I should be able
to write a script to run at startup to find the line, and create the
link to the device. The only one I care about is the UPS monitor, as
the other is only occasionally used, and I can easily check which com

If all you want to do is pull down a copy of the sources then you can turn off most of the options to reduce the fairly large dependency tree to something more manageable: BDB=off: Berkeley Database BOOK=off: Install the Subversion Book ENHANCED_KEYWORD=on: Enhanced svn:keyword support FREEBSD_TEMPLATE=on: FreeBSD Project log template GNOME_KEYRING=off: Build with GNOME Keyring auth support KDE_KWALLET=off: Build with KDE KWallet auth support MAINTAINER_DEBUG=off: Build debug version MOD_DAV_SVN=off: mod_dav_svn module for Apache 2.X MOD_DONTDOTHAT=off: mod_dontdothat for Apache 2.X NEON=off: WebDAV/Delta-V repo access module (neon) P4_STYLE_MARKERS=off: Perforce-style conflict markers SASL=off: SASL support SERF=on: WebDAV/Delta-V repo access module (serf) STATIC=off: Build static version (no shared libs) SVNAUTHZ_VALIDATE=off: install svnauthz-validate SVNMUCC=off: Install Multiple URL Command Client SVNSERVE_WRAPPER=off: Enable svnserve wrapper TEST=off: Run subversion test suite There is the new devel/subversion-static port which does all that, and compiles subversion with static linkage so it has *no* runtime dependencies on anything else. The disadvantage here is that if there is, say, a security hole discovered in the one of the libraries subversion links against, you won't secure the statically linked copy of subversion simply by updating to a fixed version of the shlib. subversion-static is really only intended for providing a one-off binary package that people can download and install in order to bootstrap a more standard FreeBSD environment. 1) Choose a SVN mirror close to you. Currently there are two choices: svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org -- Western USA svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org -- Eastern USA Use whichever one gives you best performance. Certainly from Europe at the moment us-east seems to be the best choice. The number of SVN mirrors and their global coverage should increase over time, but it will never need as many servers as the old cvsup network. The canonical list of SVN mirrors is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn-mirrors.html 2) Choose a protocol for access the SVN servers. Your choices in order of preference are svn:// https:// http:// Use svn:// for best performance. If you're concerned about MITM attacks injecting trojans into the FreeBSD sources, then use https and be sure to verify the certificate hashes on first connection. Otherwise, if you're stuck behind a restrictive firewall, use http:// 3) Choose which branch you want to mirror. It's relatively easy to switch between branches and doesn't involve downloading the entire contents of /usr/src all over again if you change your mind. However right now, the viable choices are head --- Current, the bleeding edge, really only suitable for development purposes stable/9 --- 9-STABLE Still a rapidly changing development branch, but not quite so close to the edge, and with less bleeding involved. stable/8 --- 8-STABLE Ditto. releng/9.1 --- 9.1-RELEASE This tracks any security patches to version 9.1. However, in this case you would be better advised to use freebsd-update(8) to maintain your /usr/src directory tree instead. Similarly

But the action line above does give me an idea though, I should be
able to write a script to run at startup to find the line, and create
the link to the device. The only one I care about is the UPS
monitor,
as the other is only occasionally used, and I can easily check which
com port its on before connecting to it.
This probably wouldn't work for anyone else, but here is my solution in
case it does help someone else.
Created a new script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nutusblink
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: NUTUSBLINK
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# BEFORE: nut
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name=nutusblink
start_cmd=nutusblink_start
stop_cmd=nutusblink_stop
rcvar=nutusblink_enable
find_comport() {
grepstring='uplcom.*hubaddr='${nutusblink_hubaddr}
comnum=`sysctl -a | grep ${grepstring} | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F .
'{print $3}'`
}
nutusblink_start() {
find_comport
echo
echo ...Creating USB Serial Adapter Comport Link for NUT UPS
Monitoring...
ln -s /dev/cuaU${comnum} /dev/${nutusblink_link}
echo/dev/${nutusblink_link} Linked to /dev/cuaU${comnum}
echo
}
nutusblink_stop() {
find_comport
echo
echo ...Removing USB Serial Adapter Comport Link for NUT UPS
Monitoring...
rm /dev/${nutusblink_link}
echo/dev/${nutusblink_link} No longer linked to

echo
}
load_rc_config $name
: ${nutusblink_enable=NO}
: ${nutusblink_hubaddr=}
: ${nutusblink_link=}
run_rc_command $1
Added these lines to /etc/rc.conf
# Create NUT USB Link
nutusblink_enable=YES
nutusblink_hubaddr=3
nutusblink_link=nutusblink
End Result,
I now have a link /dev/nutusblink pointed at /dev/cuaU#, where # is the
correct port number. I have tested on a couple of reboots, and
configured NUT to use the link instead of the actual com port. Using
the BEFORE: nut in the script ensures that it gets ran

ZFS - whole disk or partition or BSD slice?
I have a 9.1 system with some SATA disks in RAIDZ, upgraded from 9.0. The disks are all the same type, and I formatted them for FreeBSD and put ZFS in a slice covering most of them. I have seen suggestions for OpenIndiana etc that it is better to let ZFS have the whole raw disk and that this can control the way it manages the disk writeback mode. Does this apply to FreeBSD and ZFS too? Presumably the disks are currently FreeBSD-specific. If I used raw disks instead of slices, could I read them from a Solaris system too? ___ 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

I recall reading that using partitions for zfs on FreeBSD was as good as full disks. For a boot zpool we need to at least have a partition for the boot-code and one for zfs preventing the use of a full disk. ZFS is meant to be compatible between different endian systems (x86 and sparc) From what I have read and heard it sounds like zpools are expected be compatible between different OS's as well - as far as zpool versions are compatible - but I do expect it would depend on the partition tables being readable - while full disk usage should work I would also think GPT is compatible. OSX 10.5 (x86 and ppc) included a read-only zfs kext (before Apple canned the project) so it must have been able to read Solaris or FreeBSD created zpools which does indicate a fairly high level of compatibility. I believe the way ZFS marks disks/partitions with the zpool data is so that the zpools can be recognised between systems and controllers - it would be interesting to know if and under what conditions a zpool can be accessed, both between different FreeBSD machines as well as the possibility of reading on a Solaris/Indiana machine.

You may try this ugly emergency fix and see if SML starts at least in a temporary jail. In your home, or wherever you have some space available... (400MB should be fine) snip It's alive!

I only checked out the kernel source using svn and yeah, what source tree? It seems that you do not have one. # freebsd-update -r 9.1-RELEASE upgrade This is very much a binary upgrade. You might have a source tree for 8.3 which is not very helpful now. I do not know if this program is able to fix your problem. I wanted to run it tonight, but since I don't know where my source tree is, I can't continue. I think that you simply do not have one. At least not a current one. Read the handbook how you can get the source tree and then download and compile it. I believe that all other options will end in a re-installation.

NcFTPd on 9.1 64-bit
I have found that on the two machines which I installed 9.1 on, NcFTPd fails system logins for non-root attempts with Password wrong for user from 192.168.1.51 These are logins which previously on 9.0 worked as expected, and now fail on 9.1. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Re: ZFS - whole disk or partition or BSD slice?

There's one other good reason to use partitions when mirroring. When the time comes to replace a drive in a mirror it is necessary that the new drive be the same size (or larger) than the one it replaces. Given that drives of nominally the same capacity (and even of the same type and brand bought at different times) tend not to be exactly the same size using a partition a little smaller than the whole drive makes it certain that a replacement drive will be big enough to use in the mirror when it arrives. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith st...@sohara.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: jails bind ip
Hi, First of all usage of 127.0.0.1 as second address is nothing but wrong, as this is the loopback address :) For the second part of the question - I suppose it has nothing to do with the BSD and the jail subsystem. I am not sure why you have eth1 tbh, you should only have eth0, maybe because of this binding to 127.0.0.1, which fails as you already have this address on lo0. But from your logs: INFO 2013-01-26 16:03:03.085 Created socket: /127.0.0.1:5001 [main] ERROR 2013-01-26 16:03:03.186 A serious error occurred during PMS init org.jboss.netty.channel.ChannelException: Failed to bind to: /127.0.0.1:5001 Obviously you have error in your config, as you are not binding to address, but on local socket at the root of the system. So my guess is you must eighter change your software configuration or you should giva access to root folder to the user running the application.
