I have a new install of FreeBSD 6.2, and installed Gnome 2.16 and other things, including Firefox 2.0, from Ports. Firefox only runs as root. Every time. I Googled and saw that in an early version there was a problem that it had to be run the _first_ time as root but after that it was OK, but thats not the problem here--it ONLY runs as root all the time. If I type firefox on the command line it just immediately returns to the command line, no error messages of any sort, nothing in /var/log/messages. I had the same issue when I first made firefox, probability is the your $HOME/.mozilla directory is owned by root with only or no read permissions to other users. firefox read. creates all of its data in that directory by default, so you may want to login as root and do find / -name .mozilla -type d -exec ls -ld {} \; That will show all the directories that are .mozilla once you figured which your $HOME's .mozilla you can issue chown user:group .mozilla directory and then your firefox may start normally Best regards DAK When run as root it seems to be fine. The binary has execute permissions for everyone. What do i need to be doing? Thanks! Jen - Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

Choose the printer in question and click properties tab and on there would be box like , general, interface etc, scroll down to the bottom most there you will find users, once you choose those box you will see change on properties box Click change and choose allowed users and add that user in question.

I bet if you check the permissions you'll find the file has mode 0600, which means only the user running the script can read the file (at least that's what a test using the pdksh port does on my system). ksh93 does have a problem, though: it opens a file and immediately unlinks it, but the file is world-readable for a short time. Doesn't it (ksh93, etc) pay attention to umask? If it does, the script should use that feature. It does honor umask, but I think temp files should be created mode 0600 in all cases. A person may have a umask of 022 to allow normal files to be read by group members but still not want them to see here-document contents. They may not even realize that their shell is using tempfiles. Some shells use pipes (bash and ash do; zsh uses an 0600 tempfile that it immediately unlinks; Solaris sh uses an 0600 tempfile). Both ksh variants honor the TMPDIR variable, though, so if you create a ~/tmp directory, chmod it so only you can access it, then set TMPDIR=~/tmp , you will be secure even if you're using ksh93. relatively (it's not a given that people haven't opened up ~/tmp) I think if someone has gone to the trouble of creating a private ~/tmp directory, they probably know what they're doing and know the consequences of opening it up. I appreciate all your response. Thanks a lot for insight on unix fundementals The issue I had is solved by doing umask 077 at the start of the script, so what it did was it created the temporary files with read+write for owner of the file , and in my process I also create directories while RMAN backup is being run, so that umask 077 for directory gave rwx for directories while creation This problem I had is solved now, it is secure Thanks Dak -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi freebsd ers I am looking for any suggestion on using the right tool that I can use to perform the encryption/decryption for flat files. We have a requirement to encrypt 15 flat files and be dumped on tape and be stored in remote site facility for later business resumption. or in the crash/fire/emergency situation for the recovery purposes.

It doesn't matter where you put the redirects, so long as they're in order and you wind up closing the coprocess's standard output so that it exits. It's more a matter of style and taste than anything. Here are some more options if you're interested: As long as you haven't started any other background jobs, this would work in place of the final 'exec 5-': kill -INT %+ Or, after you start the coprocess, you can store its PID, and kill that later: copid=$! ... kill -INT $copid Again, it's a matter of style and taste.

It's a Good Idea(tm) when writing scripts that may be used on many systems to program defensively, for the lowest common denominator to avoid pitfalls like this. I kinda disagree with that because if you want to exploit capabilities of any given shell we should really stick to those shell For example , I doubt that we can expect Bourne Shell code to run in CSH given as such, if it is small piece of code, we just need to stick with its common capabilities . But then when you are writing fully functional script such as complete RMAN backup or restore and if you want to automate , you will need to exploit all capabilities of that give shell for the script to be fully functional. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Use of CVS
afaik, branching off for the minor changes would be thest way to go. so you could merge back these changes into main line easily. that is the way normal devel cycle or you could establish minor and major and merge them upon completion. On 1/11/07, Doug Hardie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a medium sized application where the source is all in a CVS repository. Basically it works great as I am able to retrieve any previous version of a module when needed. Most of the changes to the application are quickly resolved, CVS committed and the production system updated in less than a day. Recently, I made a fairly large update to the application that took about 4 weeks to complete. During that time I was not able to fix small problems as there was no way to update the production system without incorporating a large number of changes from the new update that were just not working yet. Basically all small corrections were made to the new system but not incorporated into the production system until the new stuff was completed. There were no real problems from this, but it was not really convenient. Now I am going to be embarking on a revision that will take about 6 months to complete. Obviously I will not be able to wait till the completion to fix minor problems. So I am going to need to do something with branches. I have dug through the man pages and believe that is the best approach. However, given that I need to maintain the current version with a probably small number of fixes during the development process what is the best approach? Should I branch off the production version as a new branch and keep the main one for the new development or the other way around. Will it be easier to merge the fixes to the production branch back in to the new system later or should those fixes be made to both branches at the same time? Any suggestions on these approaches will be appreciated.

Re: Dell PE 1950 - Only seeing 3.2 gigs of ram
if you calculate the 32bit addressing capability 2^32 -1 = 4294967296 - 1 = 4GB -1 you could counter I/O space, IRQ space for all the devices attached. I have heard something like parity interleave(I may be misspelling that word, but sounds close), you can knock off some more memory for this, and something like memory hole, you should knock off some more memory for this., sometimes video card also steal memory for acceleration, how much of it all depends. regards Dak On 1/10/07, Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, Jan 10, 2007 at 02:42:59PM -0800, Jay Chandler wrote: Jeff MacDonald wrote: Hi, I put a fresh install of 6.1-RELEASE on a dell poweredge 1950 server.

Jeff. Same platform, same error. Anyone else have a clue for me? Part of the 32-bit address space is reserved for various I/O-devices. This means that a 32-bit OS will not be able to use all 4 GB of RAM but only a smaller amount (usually around 3.5 GB.) If you were to use a 64-bit OS it would probably be able to access all of the RAM if some of it is remapped to above the 4 GB line. (There is usually an option in the BIOS to do this remapping.)

I've just noticed that there's a www/opera-linuxplugins port that appears to install Opera 9.10 with the necessary configuration tweaks to use Linux plugins.

Sierra Wireless Card AC860 how to get the working in freebsd.

Shell recommendations
Hi Freebsd I am using ksh93 shell as my login shell each and everytime I do set -o vi and perform some commands it simply dumps ksh93.core file and crashed whole terminal session, I have been having this problem everrsince I changed my login shell from /bin/sh to /bin/ksh which is symbolic link of ksh93 executable I compiled off the freebsd /usr/ports/ I wonder if anyone has similar issues with this ksh or am I doing something stupid I love using ksh due to the fact you can edit and scroll back and forth as in vi commands, if you have had this issue, what did you go about doing. Any suggestion here would be great help Thanks Dak ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Stuck on win32-codecs compilation.
Hi Bill,Juha , Josh and pabola Thanks for all your feedback, It gave the best insight and understanding. This is what I did , because even after I had removed the quick time using make config on win32-codecs directory It was giving me some more errors it it could not find file while downloading(when I issued make install in /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs), so I went ahead and downloaded manually download win32-codecs.tar.gz file from ports directory http://freebsd.org/ports/multimedia website, replaced with this new win32-codecs. That made the rest of mplayer successful. Then I bumped into the issue of sound /dev/dsp error I fixed with reading the http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html( this I felt is the good help for anyone having sound issues) did that # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 took care of the sound issue. (does anyone know how automatically download the current specific port, I know portupgrade -a runs, but it runs endlessly forever) Thanks Dak On 1/4/07, Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Juha Saarinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 1/4/07, Dak Ghatikachalam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Freebsd I was trying to make mplayer and it spat me on error, win32 -codecs, and went on trying the clean up the win32-codecs and try to make the codecs, it still errored out Has anyone faced the same issue, Please share your thoughts. I am scratching my head, what I should doing about this. Waiting until the remote code execution security hole is plugged would seem to be a sensible thing: The Apple Security Team reports that there are multiple vulnerabilities within QuickTime (one of the plugins for win32-codecs). A remote attacker capable of creating a malicious SGI image, FlashPix, FLC movie, or a QuickTime movie can possibly lead to execution of arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (application crash). Users who have QuickTime (/win32-codecs) as a browser plugin may be vulnerable to remote code execution by visiting a website containing a malicious SGI image, FlashPix, FLC movie or a QuickTime movie. You can get mplayer installed safely by deselecting the quicktime codec during the installation process. To change it now, do the following: cd /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs make config Then deselect quicktime from the menu and save your change. Then go back to building mplayer and it should succeed. -Bill ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to reset /dev/dsp ?
I am on same freebsd 6.1 I had the similar off kernel sound server , which it was pointing to null device I did this # kldload snd_ich and I had put the same entry /boot/loader.conf snd_ich_load=YES but I did not really compile the sound into the kernel, it still worked for me. I have to find out how to compile the sound server into the kernel. If you are not certain about the right driver knock off everything in the boot loaderr conf and simply run kldload snd_driver that will print the right quirks to use then use that alone in boot loader.conf and remove the rest. Good luck. On 1/3/07, Luke Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 2 Jan 2007, Lowell Gilbert wrote: Luke Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm running FreeBSD 6.1.

It's a game. Partway through the game, the sound stops working. The people who make the game have been aware of the problem for many months, but don't understand what to do about it. Okay, I can accept that. What I can't accept is that this java application breaks the sound in such a way that NOTHING can play sound anymore until I reboot the machine! If I attempt to play a movie with mplayer after the game has broken the sound, it says: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory However, the dsp device still exists in /dev: [0:/dev ll dsp* crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 51 Dec 29 21:36 dsp0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 54 Dec 29 21:37 dsp0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 52 Dec 29 19:24 dspW0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 55 Dec 29 19:24 dspW0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 57 Dec 29 19:24 dspr0.1 The sndstat device doesn't show any problem, if I'm reading the output right: [0:/dev cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH5 (82801EB) at io 0xfc001000, 0xfc002000 irq 17 bufsz 16384 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) Is there anything I can do short of rebooting the machine to get my sound working when this happens? I thought maybe there was something I could do with devd or devctl to reset the device, but I can't figure out how to do that. I'm not even sure how to see the problem except to attempt to play a sound. Well, it's hard to say, because the hardware could be misbehaving, in which case the software may not know what's going on. It might be interesting to see whether fstat(1) sees anything holding the dsp devices. You could also try using vchans, which would (in theory) let you access the hardware from another device node after the first one hangs. fstat reveals that nothing is holding the dsp devices after the sound breaks. I read a bit about vchans, then set up a few with sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4. I had to reboot first, because once the sound locks up, attempting to adjust this sysctl produces a device busy error. This produced some new dsp devices in /dev. I ran the java app again, broke the sound, and found that all of the vchans produce the same device busy error when I use mplayer switches to specify which vchan to use. (I was using commands like mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp0.1 blah.avi to test this.) Whatever this java app is doing to break the sound breaks it for all device nodes. Thanks for the idea anyway.
