Portupgrade problem
Hi I am having the following problem when I try to upgrade my ports: portupgrade -arR cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/multimedia/nautilus-media Port directory not found: multimedia/nautilus-media !multimedia/nautilus-media (nautilus-media-0.8.0_4) (port directory error) I checked in /usr/ports/multimedia and of course there is not such directory. Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FTP server on 5.3

I was using the handbook and was instructed to make a new user ftp. So that worked fine and I was able to upload to ftp's home dirrectory but wanted to know if I can safley delete the .* files in his home dirrectory. Yes. I was also curious, if I change the permissions on /home/ftp to 755 then people will be able to read but not write to the dirrectory (do they need x permission to download a file?). But how do I make it so everyone can read but only certain users can write. My goal would to not use local accounts but pull usernames and passwords from a MySQL database. I would rather not transfer the username and password in clear text. If you want to permit certain users to write, the normal way of doing so is to create standard Unix user accounts for them, and use a shell of /usr/sbin/nologin. However, if you care about account security, do not use FTP. SSH and scp are the way to go -- -Chuck ___ 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]
Why not?
Hello everybdody I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interview Linus mentioned the following: On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things. I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very valid point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different directions. My question is this: Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version? At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounded BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version that is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good Destop solution (FreeBSD). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Freebsd firewall
Hello: I am trying to set up a FreeBSD 5.3 firewall. I have an old P I with 64 KB of memory. When I try to install FreeBSD, the PC hangs just after showing the deamon screen and showes the following message: stack overflow I am thinking maybe the PC is too old for FreeBSD because I managed to install Debian in it. Does anybody know what does stack overflow mean? and is there anything I can do in order to install Freebsd in this old PC?

I normally do: # cvsup -g -L2 /usr/ports-supfile .. .. # cd /usr/ports # make fetchindex # portsdb -u and then I would try reinstalling it using the method above. I don't think that would keep him from installing the newer version after he cvsuped, system might complain or manually rebuild the index but thats it. After the portupgrade problem with index and how long it takes to rebuild the index I now do this now too. also I run pkgdb -F or pkgdb -Fu and portsclean -C before running portupgrade -arRwW and after I run portupgrade I run portsclean -CDD and then clean out the old libs, that is...if portupgrade had no errors. He emailed me and said he was installing it for the first time, I think he just didn't do the cvsup part correctly. Okey, I just updated my ports following your instructions. I saw in the Makefile file that the port version is equal to 1.0 ( before was equal to 0.9). Now, what should I do next:: Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb or First run pkgbd and then install Firefox ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
