make.conf and USA_RESIDENT
I have seen references to a USA_RESIDENT make.conf entry. However, I cannot find any reference to this variable in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, or the make.conf man page.

pkgdb error
I am having a problem with pkgdb and I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I was trying to update some of my out of date ports with portupgrade and when I get a pkgdb error. Now whenever I try to run any portupgrade command, or even and pkgdb command (like pkgdb -Fu) I get the following error message: [Rebuilding the pkgdb format:dbm_hash in /var/db/pkg ... can't convert String into Integer: Cannot update the pkgdb!] Anyone have any ideas or links to some information on how to solve this?

portsnap question
I have a question on what the handbook says about portsnap. According to the handbook: Adding the following line to /etc/crontab will cause portsnap to update its compressed snapshot and the INDEX files in /usr/ports/, and will send an email if any installed ports are out of date: 0 3 * * * root portsnap -I cron update pkg_version -vIL= My question is what part of that crontab entry sends an email? Is it a function of cron, because I didnt see any reference to an email getting sent in the portsnap or pkg_version man page.

CVSup/Ports Question
I just have a quick question on some of the documentation I have read about FreeBSD and it's ports collection. I read in the handbook that the cvsup tag for the ports-* collection should be .. In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections. However, when I was reading the ports(7) man page I saw: It is possible to download and use ports from the FreeBSD repository that are newer than the installed system; however it is important to install the appropriate ``Upgrade Kit'' from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ first! The portcheckout(1) (ports/devel/portcheckout) script (also a port, of course!) will help to download new ports. When I went to the webpage that the man page referenced I found a paragraph that stated The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection. Over time, changes to the ports collection may rely on features that are not present in older releases. Wherever convenient, we try not to gratuitously break support for recent releases, but it is sometimes unavoidable. When this occurs, patches contributed by the user community to maintain support for older releases will usually be committed. My question is should I keep tag=. in my ports supfile even though I am running the RELENG_6_0 and from my understanding that is different from the -STABLE branch. Or, am I just mixed up on the branching structure?

Re: How to Stop Bruit Force ssh Attempts?
I second that. I have been doing the same thing (except running an OpenBSD firewall that blocks the offenders via pf) and it works like a charm.

If you are using PF, you can use source tracking to drop the offenders in to a table... perhaps after a certain number of attempts in a given time (say, 5 in a minute). Once you have the table you're in business... you can block based on it... and then set up a cron job to copy the table to disk every so often (perhaps once every two minutes). It works very well for me, YMMV. If you don't want to block permanently, you could use cron to flush the table every so often too...

Blob and FreeBSD
I have been using both Open and Free BSD for a few years. Here is a Quick question about FreeBSD and the use of third party closed source binary drivers (known as blob to the OpenBSD community). I was just doing some reading on the OpenBSD website about their views on third closed source drivers (they are completely against them).

Re: Blob and FreeBSD
What about drivers that are not part of the ports collection? Nvidia I can understand because the code is not in the kernel to the best of my knowledge. If you want *the* nvidia driver, you install the port. What about drivers for something like raid controllers that would exist solely in the kernel?

make.conf Question
All: I have been playing around with make.conf and I see that it is possible to to use the NO_OPENSSH variable to not build openssh when updating fbsd from source. I also noticed in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file that there is a sshd_program entry that can be used to adjust where the installation of sshd is. I am assuming that this means that I can install openssh from the ports exclusively and use the rc.conf file to launch the ports sshd on startup. Here are my questions about this: 1. Is my assumption correct? 2. Does this also apply to things like kerberos and openssl 3. Does this impose any notable side effects to the system (possibly with stability/security)?

Re: CVSUP
No, that was fine. I understand what you are saying. I was actually thinking that myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any easier way. It's not a big deal really, I just change the default install dirs on one port. That means that I change all of 4 lines in a Makefile, I was just wondering. Thanks anyway man. Cheers If you have lots of disk space, you can try using CVSup to mirror the CVS repository and let CVS merge your changes: * Omit the `tag' in your cvsupfile. Just don't put one in. * Change the `prefix' to a place where you have a lot of space, such as /usr/local/portcvs. (Do NOT use /usr!) * Cvsup as normal. * You should find a lot of files in /usr/local/portcvs/ports/* with names ending in ,v. These are the CVS files. * Back up your ports tree (mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.old). * cd /usr cvs -d /usr/local/portcvs checkout ports * If all went well, you have a ports tree. Now, always cvsup this way. To update your main ports tree, do `cd /usr/ports cvs -d /usr/local/portcvs update'. This will try and merge your changes.

I downloaded the source, and in the docs it tells me that I need a C# compiler installed in order to build the compiler. Since I am trying to build the compiler for the first time, this poses a bit of a problem. Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: mounting a dos file system
I thought that he was talking about mounting drives from distant machines Adam Stroud wrote: Instal Samba. I have a silimar situation, and Samba works great foe me. I have small network at home, my system running freebsd and two other systems running windoze. I would like to be able to mount one of the logical dos drives on one of the windoze systems so I can transfer files to it. Is it possible and how do I go about doing it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

All it needs is a command such as mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /mnt where ad1s1 is the name of the partition holding the DOS file system, and /mnt is a valid, empty directory. You need Samba if you want to work the other way around; ie to read and write a FreeBSD filesystem from a Windows machine.

Re: kazaa on bsd
The Kazaa client for Linux was discontinued. There is however a client for Linux that uses the Fast Track network. I forget the name of it, but I am usre that it can be found on sourceforge.net. It took some configuration and time, but I did have it running at one point. It seems to me that the name was gIFT Maybe?

I remember reading about the Linux client some time ago but when I searched I found little. It seemed that KaZaA had discontinued the Linux client. Do you have any more details (or even a copy of the original Linux client)? Many thanks, -lewiz.

Disable Mozilla profile
Does anyone know how to disable the profile in Mozilla? I have tried re-building the port with the --disable-profile option, but profiles are still active. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Disable Mozilla profile
Thanks for the reply, I am seeing the profile manager when I try to open a second instance of Mozilla. I cant open another instance until I create another profile. I understand that these profiles can be useful, but they can also be a sole reason not to use Mozilla.

FreeBSD Handbook NIS/YP Instructions
I am tryin to setup a NIS/YP domain. I just get done reading that chapter in the FreeBSD handbook and I just have a quick question. Since NIS uses RPC, do I need to configure inetd.conf to allow RPC on the NIS server and clients? The handbook does not make any mention of editing the inetd.conf file.

vsftpd and samba problem
I am having some problems with vsftpd and I was wondering if someone could offer me some insight. I have an ftp server (using vsftpd) that mounts FAT32 shares from another machine via Samba. I can mount the shares with no problem and access the files if I log onto the machine with SSH. However, when I logon to the FTP server using an FTP client I am not able to transfer files with vsftpd. I get an error that states 426: failure writing network stream. I am able to change into the directory that I mount on and get a file listing. Another interesting thing is that when I use another FTP server (such as ProFTPd) everything works fine; I am able to transfer files from the samba shares. I have not been able to find much documentation involving a problem similar to mine. Any ideas/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Samba Problem
I am relatively new to FreeBSD. I have been using Linux for about a year and I have decided to make the change to FreeBSD. I currently have one computer running Win98, one running RedHat Linux and one running FreeBSD. I am having trouble connecting to the smb shares on the Linux box from the FreeBSD box. From the BSD box, I can connect to the windows shares, but when I try to mount the Linux shares I got smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error. What really has me puzzled is the fact that the FreeBSD box originally had Linux on it and I had no problem connecting to the other Linux box with samba. Any insight would be appreciated.
