Re: Typical times installing from ports via 56k modem?
Hiya, speaking from experience on this one ( I have moved all the way from freeBSD 4.4-4.7 all with my trusty dial up modem) It is realistic to tackle all of this from your own modem, it just takes time. It took about 1.5 hrs for the CVSUP from 4.6.0 to 4.7, and another 2 hours for the build (on a P3-500 with 128MB RAM). That seems a little bit long, was that the only CVSUP you did between the two? you might be able to speed things up by trying to find a cvsup server that is closer to you. My question is... Is it realistic to upgrade via ports with a 56K modem? I tried installing a few small things via ports, and it worked well, but I'm wondering how long it will take to download and build things like the XFree86, or GNOME. Do these things take days, or might I be able to accomplish it overnight? some tips to use that I have found helpfull, * find a download server that you get good ping times off (search the mirror archives and then ping the closest ones to you) * Run all of your downloads overnight, I find I tend to get better download rates from local servers when the network is less congested. * When downloading ports to install, do make fetch-recursive this will fetch the tarballs for the port and for all of the dependecies.. simply a make or a make install will download a package, then build it before going onto the next one. Once the make fetch-recursive is finished you should be able to go through and do a simple make install and the port should build without needing to download anything else. * when upgrading ports, get a copy of portupgrade, and use portupgrade -raF - this should go through and download the tarballs for the ports you want to upgrade. Then later when your off the net do a portupgrade -ra to build them.

Re: DHCP and an internal web server
Hey, I understand that there are hardware solutions that allow a host to run a web server thu DHCPD, but is there a way of configuring one of my behind-the-firewall server to serve pages. there are two ways actually, * get in touch with the person managing your dhcp server, supply them with the mac address of your machines network card and have them reserve a specific IP for your machine. Then have your dns admin point your domain name to that IP. This way whenever your machine requests an IP via DHCP it will get the same one. * email the admin of your dhcp/dns servers and have them setup dynamic dns updates. This is a lot more complex then the above suggestion, but it means that whenever your machine gets a new IP it automatically updates the dns server with your new IP. zen.thought.org is an example; i is an older 4.7 system hardwired as 10.0.0.247. Is there a way of configuring things to let http://zen.thought.org serve miscellaneous essays and references, e.g., for my profs. the only problem you will hit depends on how willing your dhcp/dns server admins are to reconfiguring your server. otherwise you should be fine. =) Michael Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Before, ive been an Debian/OpenBSD guy, and ive only used my obsd box for redundant firewalls and networking. Ive not been running any services off the boxen. The reason I decided to go for FreeBSD is because of the Jails. Ive looked around a bit, but I can not find anything about how to limit what interfaces that ifconfig shows. I would like it to hide pretty much everything so that _no_ information about the host systems networking leaks into the jails. I dont want jails to know anything but their IP-numbers and which computer to use for DNS lookups, essentially. Is there any good text out there that describes how to do this? Ive searched a bit for it, but Ive been unable to find anything but the basics. Maybe you can remove the ifconfig binary from the jail. Works for me.

Or I could grep ifconfig or dmesg output for ethernet interfaces and dhclient these. Both sound like a very messy solution.

Pardon me if this may seem like a stupid question, but this is
something that's been bugging me for a long time, and none of my
research has turned up anything useful yet.
I've been trying to understand what the deal is with regards to the
displaying of the extended 8-bit character set, i.e., 8-bit characters
with the MSB set.
More specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the ls command
to properly display filenames containing characters in this extended
set. I have some MP3 files, for instance, whose names contain certain
European characters, such as the lowercase u with umlaut (code 0xfc
in the Latin set, according to gucharmap), that I just can't get ls to
display properly. These characters seem to be considered by ls as
unprintable, and the best I've been able to produce in the ls
output is backslash interpretations of the characters using either the
-B or -b options, otherwise the default ? is displayed in their place.
Unsure if I understand you correctly.
(extended 8-bit character set with MSB? utf-16?)
I'm confused by this charset stuff in general.
Assuming you want \0xfc displayed as ü,
cat test.py python test.py ls -l
#!/usr/local/bin/python

Re: eliminate character with sed

Hello list,
I have a few php config files that have the windows delimiter
character in them ('^M') that I would like to get rid of. I'm trying
to use sed to do it, and for some reason I am not having any luck.
Here's the line that I'm trying to use:
#sed -i '.bak' 's/^M//g' config.php
However when I have a look at the backup file that's been created with
this command, it looks like there was no effect:
?php ^M/* Global Variables */^Mif(!defined('DS'))^M
define('DS',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);^M^M
if(!defined(_MAINSITEPATH_))^M
define(_MAINSITEPATH_,dirname(__FILE__).DS);^M
I was wondering is someone had a tip on how to run this command
effectively in this situation.
Thanks!
tim
Maybe you can use /usr/ports/converters/dosunix.
Usage:
dosunix INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE
DosUnix converts files from DOS text format to Unix text format
by replacing each carriage return newline pair with a single
newline character.
does not do backups, though.

And it also makes sense what you say about the I/O. i will start another to see the results. Maybe try higher settings. Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html ) says: However, since much of the compiling process is I/O bound rather than CPU bound, it is also useful on single CPU machines. On a typical single-CPU machine, run: # make -j4 buildworld make(1) will then have up to 4 processes running at any one time. Empirical evidence posted to the mailing lists shows this generally gives the best performance benefit. On a multi-CPU machine using an SMP configured kernel, try values between 6 and 10 and see how they speed things up.

Does any software not having a copyright statement or any license comments included in the source mean that it's public domain? I would assume this. Imagine a snippet of code with no author mentioned in it (or in the source it comes from, or any file it is accompanied by), how would you be able to conclude something _else_ than this is public domain with _no_ copyright holder? I think you are wrong here. quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_software: Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed, an author automatically obtains the exclusive copyright to anything they have written, and local law may similarly grant copyright, patent, or trademark rights by default. The Berne Convention also covers programs. Therefore, a program is automatically subject to a copyright, and if it is to be placed in the public domain, the author must explicitly disclaim the copyright and other rights on it in some way. Note the wording explicitly disclaim. While German law has something like a triviality threshold which may well apply to very small code snippets, i'd say no included license by default means all rights reserved.

Re: MySQL hangs server completely

Nevertheless, even though you can see in top that it's only 1 CPU in 100% (out of 8) the server eventually becomes useless and stops responding completely. So my question is, how does a user process hang the whole server? What system resources could MySQL be draining to make the server stop responding completely? In laymans terms - can't do better - MySQL racing itself to obtain a ( table | memory | file ) lock? I know I can death-stall the MySQL server at a customer's site if I give it a big enough query ( like, DROPping a table, recreating it and pushing backup data inside ) while cron's hourly backup-dump is running on the database. Just the MySQL server, the machine itself hasn't stalled yet - but I'm sitting at the console while doing this, so I don't know what would eventually happen if I'd let it sit for a while.

Re: NATD: net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 vs firewall_type=OPEN

Section 31.9.3 suggests net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 during the first attempts to setup a firewall and NAT gateway. Section 31.9.5 suggests I specify a predefined firewall ruleset that allows anything in with firewall_type=OPEN Question: What is the difference between these two configurations (or where can I go to learn the difference between the two)? Thank you, Chris Hello, ipfw always has one default rule, standard is 65535 deny ip from any to any If you set net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1, you get 65535 allow ip from any to any instead. Specifing firewall_type=OPEN gives you an additional rule 65000 allow ip from any to any Now, if for example you execute ``ipfw flush'', thus deleting all rules, this deletes rule 65000, but the default rule stays in effect. With ...default_to_accept=0 ( standard setting ) you now have disabled all network connections and locked yourself out if you're working remote.
