postgresql7 server with 8 client, and XML
Hiya, I'd like to build databases/postgresql74-server. When I try to it say that it cannot install as long as i have databases/postgresql8 installed. The thing is, i don't want to install 7.4, i only want to build it,and the reason i want to build it is because i want to build work/postgresql/contrib/xml 8.x comes with contrib/xml2 which is not what i want. --- I tried just downloading postgresql 7.4 from the pgsql site but when I go try to make contrib/xml i get the following http://www.suite2101.com/help/pgsql contrib/xml is preferrable to me over contrib/xml2 as i need to support a pile of legacy applications that use 2 specific functions in contrib/xml that are not in contrib/xml2 Help please. -- Unless otherwise indicated, anything I write is either garnered from experience or pulled out of my ass, depending on situational needs..

Server applications are the same. There are, however, a lot of desktop applications that are still flaky on 64-bit -- mostly non-mainstream ones. We got in a crunch and had to reinstall a workstation back to i386 because of it, or I would have filed some bug reports. Yeah, that's likly true what you say about server vs desktop. I'm going to slap a 64 bit copy on now and see how it does.

You're using the 32-bit version, right? The design of x86 architecture (i.e. it's not FreeBSD's problem) is such that a part of memory addresses needs to be set aside for hardware uses, such as the PCI bus, AGP memory & others. This manifests as "holes" in memory that are not accessible to OS. There are two possible solutions: you may try compiling a 32-bit kernel with PAE (but not all drivers support PAE), or install the 64-bit version of FreeBSD. Well I hate when people say this, but I'm going to say it.. :) When I did a default install of ubuntu, it saw all 4 gigs without a hitch. So does that mean it already includes PAE, or something else ? Aside, I will read up on PAE.

Re: Does Firefox 1.0.4 suck, or is it just me ?

It doesn't support all JS and we're a web shop. You can argue with me "yes it does" but i'll say "no it doesn't, i've seen first hand" Fresh BSD System : 5.4 - Yup. did a cvsup, then install firefox , then portupgrade Re profile issue : I wasn't running thunderbird, maybe you meant .mozilla RW: glad to hear it works for you, that's no help to me tho. Eric : wasn't memory usage, i have a gig of ram and the system was not being heavily taxed at all. Thing is, I'm a perl programmer in a web-app shop. So using the opposite of what most of my clients use, I guess wasn't that great of a plan. Maybe some day they'll release a WinXP with FreeBSD running the underbelly. HA ;) Thanks tho guys. Jeff.

Backups / Dump etc
Hi, I'm looking around at backup solutions. Currently we are using bacula, but according to it's docs it only does a bare-metal restore for linux and solaris. I know that dump is the bees-knees for backing up, so I'm looking for any pre-made scripts for doing scheduled incremental backups with dump.. or articles about dump etc.. I've also been told that dump lacks network support and tho you can use -f and ssh, it's very slow. We could use amanada, but it barfs [or used to] on disks that are over 100 gigs. My issue here is software, not hardware, have a tape drive as well as a few 120gig drives kicking around.

Re: which linux? (not flame bait, thank you)
Gentoo. Period :) I started out with slackware about 7 years ago, ran it for 2 years, then ran freebsd for 5ish, but i wanted something with a bit more "main stream/weird hardware/software" support so i decided to give a Linux a try. I must say that Gentoo is probably one of the most pleasurable linux experiences i've had to date, the package management is pretty sweet. Jeff.

RE: Mail Server
I think you should also ask yourself, why are you so desparate ?
Is there a deadline or did you bite off more than you could chew ?
Things in UNIX take time, and a lot of reading. If you are feeling
desparate, the best thing you can do it get a cofee, find some
documentation and just take a nice read thru it.
I'm speaking from experience, last week I hosed a qmail installation
really good, but after reading docs for about an hour without
touching a computer, my head was much clearer and I solved my problem.
For what it's worth..
Jeff.

Hi, I run proftpd which aready allows jailed processes in a matter of speaking that is, it chroots particular users. but i have a spare sparc laying here, that is gonna do nat just fine, so i might as well use it as a dedicated firewall as well. jeff. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Dan Pelleg > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:08 AM > To: Jeff MacDonald > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Another Jail Question > > > "Jeff MacDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Hi, > > > > I have been thinking about running 2 jails on my home server > > one for "work sensitive" data, the other for personal fun stuff. > > > > However i only have 1 ip at my house [static]. > > > > Could i take the server taht will have jails on it, put it behind > > a natd box so it has 2 ip's [192.168.0.1 and .2] and just make > > the nat box, forward packets to teh appropriate jail based upon > > what port they come in on ? > > > > Yes, and you don't even need a separate box to do NAT - the jail host can > do it by itself.

Another Jail Question
Hi, I have been thinking about running 2 jails on my home server one for "work sensitive" data, the other for personal fun stuff. However i only have 1 ip at my house [static]. Could i take the server taht will have jails on it, put it behind a natd box so it has 2 ip's [192.168.0.1 and .2] and just make the nat box, forward packets to teh appropriate jail based upon what port they come in on ? also, if i have host machine with 2 jails in it, i know i can't run PostgreSQL in the jails, can i run it on the host environment and make the jails access it via TCP ? server is a dual PII 300 with 512 megs of ram, this should be fine to handle 2 jails, right ? thanks. jeff.

rndc-conf is freezing..
I've read a few threads that say rndc-confgen may freeze because /dev/random isnt' random enough. I've set the rand_irqs in rc.conf, as well hammered on the keyboard some while rndc-confgen is runnning and it still sits there. anyone know what can be done? I have bind9 running fine, but if i update anything i have to do a kill/named to read config changes. which is less than elegant ;) thanks.
