Re: Alternative windowmanagers

Of course, It must run under FreeBSD. I sniffed into AfterStep, fvwm2 and fluxbox (I don't want to use KDE). I think, fluxbox is a nice wm and for my future, it will be the default wm for me. It's also very fast and easy to configure. Are there any other window manager worth looking? What is your window manager? If you want efficient window manager (i.e. can be operated using keybindings), and you're into tiling window managers, then you can try Xmonad[1], or awesome[2] window manager.

The above output looks perfect, and should match the top three lines in your

Well, OP is also invoking 'endpwent()' after every 'getpwent()' invocation
which according to GNU/Linux's glibc and NetBSD's libc (as OP mentioned)
should rewind the position in passwd database to the beginning.
To me it definitely looks like a bug in FreeBSD's getpw*() family of
functions.
As tested using sysutils/lsof, in the following program in FreeBSD, the
descriptor corresponding to '/etc/pwd.db' is closed on endpwent(3) but
position in database is never rewinded as shown in the output.

This Mac was upgraded to MacOS 10.6.4 today, and this workaround failed. :-( So I am back to trying to use CUPS on FreeBSD to talk directly to the network printer, but without the Kerberos feature, I am locked out. Upgrading to CUPS 1.4.3 is unlikely to give me Kerberos support. It seems FreeBSD has Kerberos support in base at /usr/src/kerberos5. But I don't see how to bridge this gap. FWIW, using CUPS 1.3.10 in the Fall of 2009, I did have Kerberos support (via GSSAPI) and I was able to talk directly to the network printer. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to consider trying? The best suggestion would be to ask MAINTAINER of the port, why he disabled Kerberos support, and maybe better mail him a patch with Kerberos support enabled in the port :).

Issues while trying to access an Ext3 partition successfully mounted on FreeBSD 7

If you are starting it from the standard rc.d script, you are using user ppp. I think kernel ppp is a legacy feature that was used before the kernel supported tun interfaces. I don't know of any reason for still using it. Won't you get any speed improvements with PPP connection in kernel-mode PPP as compared to user-mode PPP ? IIRC with kernel ppp you run pppd (note the d) as root, and the interface shows-up as ppp0; with user ppp, you run ppp as any user, and the interface shows-up as tun0. I use 'ppp -ddial my-adsl-provider' and it creates a 'tun0' interface. So this means I'm doing user-mode PPP.

Using gjournal + gmirror on 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) server
Hi list, I've two Intel Xeon dual core-based servers running 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64). Those servers are running a software raid-1 using geom_gmirror. Today, when I rebooted them twice with 'reboot' command, raid-1 running on both servers got degraded to 0% + filesystem check resulted in 4-5 lost non-critical files. Later I found out that 'reboot' is not a recommended way to reboot a system, and I should use 'shutdown -r now'. Anyways, I'm thinking to use gjournal (in addition to gmirror) on both servers to avoid such situation in future. I'm already using gjournal on my desktop (with no gmirror) running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64), with no issues. So, I wanted to know if gjournal + gmirror combo is stable enough to be used on a servers. And, if I go for gjournal, since I've an existing filesystem, I've to create a separate gjournal slice, so is it okay to create that gjournal slice on a non-gmirror backed storage, hmm...?

Manolis You should keep in mind that the space required for the journal Manolis depends on the usage load and not the size of the data provider. In Manolis other words, if you are using the default 1Gb journal size on your Manolis desktop, it may not be enough for a busy server. Okay. Manolis I've used gjournal+gmirror on a machine - not anything really heavy Manolis loaded, but it has given me no problems. I first created the journals, Manolis and the gmirror-ed the entire disk. It works as you should expect. I Manolis have not tried creating the journal on a non-mirrored storage. I Manolis suppose this would work too, but I have no idea how safe it would be.

LDAP is a real cool protocol offering a hierarchial directory like
facility. You can store anything in that directory, from user accounts,
to your GPG keys to address book to email aliases, anything for which
you're able to write a schema. You'll enjoy working with it :)

Install OpenLDAP server (openldap23-{server,client} or
openldap24-{server,client})
from FreeBSD ports. And follow administrator's guide[1] to setup your
LDAP server. The Building an OpenLDAP address book article [2] at
ONLamp will guide you with setting up address book with OpenLDAP.
And you'll also like to try out phpldapadmin for managing LDAP directory
over web :) .

Quoting from sudo.c of sudo-1.6.8p12 in init_vars(int) routine:
88
/*
* We avoid gethostbyname() if possible since we don't want
* sudo to block if DNS or NIS is hosed.
* host is the (possibly fully-qualified) hostname and
* shost is the unqualified form of the hostname.
*/
sudo_user.host_fqdn_queried = FALSE;
nohostname = gethostname(thost, sizeof(thost));
if (nohostname)
user_host = user_shost = localhost;
else {
user_host = estrdup(thost);
if ((p = strchr(user_host, '.'))) {
*p = '\0';
user_shost = estrdup(user_host);
*p = '.';
} else {
user_shost = user_host;
}
}
88
As you can see, it uses gethostname() to return the hostname. So, your
host won't be 'localhost' unless its not able to retrieve hostname or
your hostname is set to 'localhost'.
Why they did this probably because any entry for 'localhost' is valid
for execution on all machines, ;) .

Re: Anycast DNS - anybody?
Regarding Anycast DNS - anybody?; Ewald Jenisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] adds: Ewald Hi, Ewald Has anybody out there configured anycast DNS (where multiple instances Ewald of a DNS-server run under the same IP-address in different parts of Ewald the network) under FreeBSD? AFAIK, anycast requires magic at routing level. So that user will connect to the nearest DNS server (holding the anycast address). Ewald I'm looking for some hints to get started, but googling around didn't Ewald provide much info on that topic... It has do with routing so you need to investigate on routing protocols, like RIP, etc. 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.1network 10.0.0.2 192.168.1.1 [server1] --- [router1] =[router2] --- [server2] router1, router2 -- redundant routers connecting to different ISPs So if router2 receives packet destined for 192.168.1.1, instead of sending to server1 it'll send it to server2, since server2 is nearest to it, and vice versa. Above is a very simple configuration describing anycast. Since Anycast works only for connection-less protocols, you don't need to keep TCP connections synchronized between two servers, although both servers should behave identically, i.e. return similar records. BtW, I've never implemented anycast ever, so its fully based on my imagination.

No, I've not tried that. But, to me, it looks like filesystem is bad, and some of the files in use by services like avahi, pdns are corrupt, so thats why it is crashing. Is there any possiblity like such ? Anyways, I'll boot with ACPI disabled, or even boot in single-user mode, and repair my filesystem first. | | - | Eric F Crist | Secure Computing Networks | | Thanks Ashish Shukla -- Ashish Shukla Wah Java !! आशीष शुक्ल weblog: http://wahjava.wordpress.com/ ,= ,-_-. =. | The desire to be rewarded for one's creativity does | ((_/)o o(\_)) | not justify depriving the world in general of all or | `-'(. .)`-' | part of that creativity. | \_/ |- Richard M.
