FTP Problems with FreeBSD 5.2.1 RC 2 install
List, Would anyone have insight on problems accessing FTP installation sources for 5.2.1 RC2? I was installing just fine using ftp5.us.freebsd.org (mit.edu, I believe, one of the sources closer to me), and began to have the installation return to the menu for selecting my FTP source. Invariably the install would no longer return to the FTP menu and would ask me if I would like to retry the currently failing package. Replying Yes would produce no activity and replying No would skip that package and try the next one, exhibiting the same behavior. I restarted the install from scratch four times last night, and tried many mirrors from the main list and the USA list of FTP mirrors. My ISP had no network issues posted last night, and I could traceroute via my PowerBook on OS X with no issues. Does anyone know what my issue (besides ignorance) might be? Also, is there a way to gracefully get out of error issue with FTP without starting over with my install? Regards, -- Barry C.

Here is what I think you questions mean and what I think the answers are: Question: Is it available for my XP? (translated Is it available for my Windows XP machine?) Answer: In short, yes. Your Windows XP machine is an x86 PC. This list is for the PowerPC (i.e., Macintosh similar) port of FreeBSD. Please see http://www.freebsd.org and look for x86-related information. Question: What peripherals are supported? Answer: Lots of them; checking http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html will give you an idea of the available applications for FreeBSD, which may in turn give you an idea of which peripherals are supported. It's really too broad of a question to address. Queestion: How vulnerable to hackers is it? Answer: Much, much less than your XP. Question: Would it be suitable for a new organization? Answer: It depends. If the new organization is composed of mostly Windows users, there would be a bit of a learning curve involved. I am forwarding your question to the FreeBSD Questions list, which is a more appropriate location for this post. Regards, -- Barry C.

possible issue with pam
List, Hello. I have recently begun to encounter an issue with changing passwords on my 5.1 installation. I haven't touched anything on it for a few months, and the last change-related activity I had were some portupgrade tasks to rid myself of the libintl.so.4 issue solved with portupgrade -R gettext back around September 2003. I am wondering if anyone has experienced an issue similar to mine. When I attempt to use passwd to change my password, I get the following upon successfully re-typing the password: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module If anyone has insight on this I would be grateful. A search of the list for pam_chauthtok only revealed one person asking a similar question related to yppasswd. Regards, -- Barry C.

/tmp suddenly full - possible DOS hack?
List, I have a single FreeBSD server (5.1) that I run at home behind a firewall with ports open for ssh, dns, and http. I began having trouble with my DNS not responding, then noticed that ssh was not responding either. Upon logging in at the server, I noticed error messages about my /tmp filesystem being full. Issuing df revealed the following: Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a253678 72770 16061431%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1e253678 542 232842 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s1f 8209710 3440818 411211646%/usr /dev/ad0s1d253678 253106 -19722 108%/var Upon further investigation, I noticed a series of grossly bloated messages logs: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel43001 Oct 13 22:37 messages -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel196001815 Oct 13 17:00 messages.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel87398 Oct 13 16:00 messages.1.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel87096 Oct 13 15:00 messages.2.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 109446 Oct 13 14:00 messages.3.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 184596 Oct 13 13:00 messages.4.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel36822 Oct 13 12:00 messages.5.bz2 This is the first BSD box that I have had that allows DNS queries, and this is the first time I have experienced something like this.

It initially has no password, so mysql -u root without the -p should work for you. I have always installed from source code builds, so I am not sure as to whether or not the port does this for you. Have you run the mysql_install_db script to initialize the databases in MySQL? If not, you could potentially be seeing a situation where the permission tables for the daemon are not available, so you are being rejected out-of-hand. I would try the mysql -u root first, if you have run the script (or if the port runs the script for you; regrettably I do not know if it does). Regards, -- Barry C.

After downloading the file in question several times from different locations, including the FreeBSD ftp archives, I continued to receive the same messages regarding checksum failures. I came across one person's workaround, and was able to use that http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-July/ 002738.html. However, there are several old postings in various newsgroups about this problem, some dating back to October 2002. Why hasn't this MD5 checksum issue been corrected yet? Is there another dependent issue that justifies not fixing this?
