PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
Hi, Since I upgraded to KDE 3.5.5 the other day, I've been getting the following messages after KDE starts: kernel: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC I've noticed the system seems a bit unstable, it often locks up when KDE starts and I guess that is the reason for the instability. I did a bit of hunting on the mailing list archives, but could only come up with one question that didn't shed much light on the matter. Does anyone know what I should do to increase PMAP_SHPGPERPROC? I'm running 5.5-RELEASEp9 on i386.

Cups USB workaround was working but now fails
Hi,
When CUPS 1.2.0 came out, I had the same problem as others with port
permissions and the USB backend, so I changed my usb device permissions:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root cups 227, 0 Aug 5 22:36 /dev/ulpt0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root cups 227, 64 Aug 5 22:39 /dev/unlpt0
I also edited printers.conf and changed the URI from usb: to file: and I was
able to print without any trouble.
Today, I tried to print something and my printer printed a small amount of the
page and then just hung with it's power/status light flashing. CUPS reported
the printer was printing.
After trying to get it going, I checked printers.conf and found the URI line
was set back to usb:, so I changed it to file: again restarted cupsd, but it
wouldn't start.
Looking at the error log, I see:

It seems that cups now won't recognise the file: setting, yet previously it
did. I checked back through my logs to see if a newer cups port had come out
& I'd inadvertently upgraded to it, but it seems that's not the case - it's
still 1.2.0
Using the usb: URI always gives the same result - the job starts printing but
stops after about 12% and won't go any further.
Any ideas as to why my cups no longer accepts the file: URI?
I'm running FreeBSD 5.11-Release-p2 and my printer is an Epson Stylus C61 on a
USB port.
Cheers,

This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to update your KDE installation without interruptions. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo) . 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \ kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3. The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE. KNOWN ISSUES: = Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact. If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl, make sure to use security/openssl-stable. You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically make ports depend on that rather than on security/open

Thanks for your help in sorting that out, I knew it was something more than just not using the recursion switches with portupgrade.

A portupgrade question
Hi, I've got a question about portupgrade and something that's happened with it a couple of times now. The last 2 times libgda has been upgraded, I've run portupgrade -a to upgrade a bunch of ports, including libgda. The libgda upgrade has caused a re-install of mysql-client-4, but when portupgrade has tried to install mysql-client, it's failed because mysql-client is already installed. The workaround for this is simple enough, delete mysql-client and then run portupgrade again, but I'm wondering why this situation occurs - portupgrade should see that mysql-client is already installed and not try to install it again (or if it needs upgrading, it should deinstall the old version and build & install the new version). /etc/ports/UPDATING doesn't seem to help, there's no mention of either port in it. Perhaps my ports db is screwed up? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpw2ttWn06DJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

CVSUP & Portupgrade or portupdate makes this process very simple, they manage all the intricacies for you. Check out Dru Lavigne's article on protupgrade for a simple portupgrade how-to: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html I update my ports with it all the time and rarely have problems. If you only want to track security vulnerabilities, just portupgrade the ports that have vulnerabilities - that would be roughly equivalent to tracking a security branch. > Debian > GNU/Linux has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately > maintained "errata" ports branch (it's very likely you still get to > download a newer release of the software, though). > > Sorry if this is a bit OT.

Patching a port
Hi, I'm having some trouble with the www/sarg port. The writer has sent me a couple of .patch files to apply and I'm wondering if there's some way to apply those patches and still use the ports system to build & install the port. I know the source code installs stuff in places that aren't the standard FBSD locations - I assume they are the norm for Linux. The port fixes that and puts stuff where we expect it to be. It would make life easier if I could apply the patches and then build the port in the normal way so everything ends up in the same place & I won't have stuff left over when I update next time.

Removing a port without upsetting dependencies
Hi, I have mplayer installed and at one stage I installed the mplayer-skins port as well. Then I got sick of dealing with the skins port being broken a lot because the source files are often unfetchable, so I removed the port (I can't remember what method I used to do that now). Ever since, when I do a portupgrade & mplayer or various ports that it is a dependency of get updated, my ports database gets upset because those ports are marked as having mplayer-skins as a stale dependency. For example, today I have: Stale dependency: mplayerplug-in-3.17 --> mplayer-skins-1.1.2_1 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. I generally either delete the dependency or link it to mplayer-gtk-esound, but the dependency comes back next time mplayerplug-in gets updated. I assume I've just used the wrong method for deleting the mplayer-skins port & I need to re-install & delete it the correct way. If I'm right, how should I do that? If not, is there a way I can permanently remove the mplayer-skins port and not have it appear as a dependency of other ports?

I had considered ACLs as one possible workaround and I'd said to a mate of mine "gee, it'd be really good if you could make a group a member of another group", not thinking you actually could do that!

Changing maximum number of groups in FBSD - is it feasible?
Hi, I'm toying with the idea of increasing the maximum number of groups a user can belong to on one of my servers - we have a rather complex organisation and we're hitting the 15 group limit for some people. There seems to be differing opinions on how to do this and if it's actually feasible. One post I found said: > in src/sys/sys/syslimits.h there is a constant named 'NGROUPS_MAX'. > change it to however many you need (within reason), rebuild/install world > and kernel. Another said you have to change all sorts of things in the source, modify a kernel parameter, rebuild world and rebuild any port that uses NGROUPS - which probably means a portupgrade -fa. There is talk of a maxgroups() parameter in the kernel, but NOTES makes no mention of this. I wonder too if some apps would need their own configuration altered to allow them to work with the higher limit. So I just wanted to ask if anyone has successfully raised the NGROUPS_MAX limit, especially when running samba & nfs on the system? If not, I'll work around the problem a different way. (BTW I'm running 5.4-RELEASE) Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpX2ngKgxYU9.pgp Description: PGP signature

xine / kaffeine core dumps with bus error
Hi, I went to play a video file today & with kaffeine and it crashed when trying to open the file. I decided to do a portupgrade -fR kaffeine\* to rebuild it and it's dependencies in the hope that would fix the problem, but it made no difference. Then I tried running xine by itself and found it gave a bus error and core dumped every time I tried to start it (not opening a file or anything). The splash screen appears, then the GUI, then both close and in the xterm I start it from, I just bus error. I've tried doing a portupgrade -f xine just in case, though it should have been re-built along with kaffeine. None of the above seems to fix the problem. I'm running FBSD 5.4-RELEASE p6 and my ports tree was updated last night. Port versions are: kaffeine-0.7.1 xine-0.99.4 Xine/Kaffeine used to work, evidently a recent portupgrade has broken it, though I'm not sure exactly when it last worked. Just hoping someone can suggest a fix! Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpHdsvsqpzVP.pgp Description: PGP signature

When I update my xserver, I have to rebuild my nvidia driver or x will crash when any opengl app runs. So in your case, it may be some part of X causeing the crash.

Getting session details from a dump tape
Hi, I've done a level 0 dump of a server which is spanned over several tapes. Somehow, when I was labelling the tapes, I did something wrong and have an extra tape in there. I'm wondering if there is some way to find out what is on the tapes? I know I could do an ls to look at the files, but that won't really tell me what dump level it was and when it was dumped. Things I've tried: 1. On the first tape, I can just run #restore -i #what and that gives me the info I need for that tape, however, when I do the same for the next tape, it just says it's not the first tape of the set. 2. Try to read from /dev/sa0 directly: #head /dev/sa0 That didn't give any output, except in the log file, where is says: 10240-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer.

Thanks, that allows it to build now, but it falls over during the install:

numpy.pdf is actually in /usr/ports/math/py-numeric/work/Numeric-23.8
By editing line 48 of the Makefile to:

the port installs correctly.

Unlike most linux distributions, FreeBSD doesn't install X by default, so you need to install X and configure your choice of window manager/desktop environment. You can do this from the install program (/stand/sysinstall), but I'd recommend reading the handbook - it will tell you how do do all of this. You can access the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Once you have a web browser installed, you can also use the local copy at /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html Section 5 tells you how to install & configure X (you should use Xorg, not XFree86 if you are using FreeBSD 5.3 or later). > 3) Whether means that the system is established presence: > login: root > # Yes, the # prompt mean you are logged on correctly as root.

Check out the handbook - it's a great source of information on most aspects of installing and running FreeBSD. If you still have trouble, you can always ask on this list. Good luck!

Perl problem upgrading net-snmp
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade net-mgmt/net-snmp-5.2.1_1 to net-mgmt/net-snmp-5.2.1_2 I'm running 5.4p2 on this machine, which started life as 5.2.1-RELEASE & has been tracking 5.3-RELEASE & now 5.4-RELEASE. My perl version is 5.8.6 I update my ports tree every night and update my installed ports at least once a week. I've had this build problem with net-snmp ever since it was updated to 5.2.1_2, but I've only just got around to trying to solve the problem. The build output is very long, so I've only pasted the last bit below - I can post the whole thing if required though. I assume it's a perl problem and have tried googling for a solution. I found some stuff about the Undefined symbol "perl_get_sv" error, but haven't found anything that's helped me fix it so far. A possible solution I thought might be to pkg_delete perl, delete everything in /usr/local/lib/perl and then rebuild perl. Or is that not a good idea?

Problems with recording since upgrading from 5.4-release to 5.4p2
Hi, I've got a strange problem with recording on my system. The problem appears to have started since I upgraded my 5.4-Release system today to 5.4p2. I'm using a Vibra128 soundcard & have the following devices: daemon:~ % ll /dev/dsp* crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Jun 10 20:12 /dev/dsp0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010003 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dsp0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00020003 Jun 10 20:37 /dev/dsp0.2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00030003 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dsp0.3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 5 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dspW0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010005 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dspW0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00020005 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dspW0.2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00030005 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dspW0.3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 11 Jun 10 19:23 /dev/dspr0.0 Also, I have the following in /boot/loader.conf: snd_es137x_load="YES" #ESS1370 (VIBRA128) sound card driver hw.snd.pcm0.vchans="4" hw.snd.maxautovchans="4" Sound playback is working fine - I use kde & have artsd set to use /dev/dsp0.2 I use Audacity to record with and this is where I have trouble - playback in it works, but today, I can't record. Starting it from the commandline, it gives the following output: PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDWR PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -1 PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDONLY PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -1 and the record device selection is disabled & no recording is possible. In the audacity preferences dialogue, you can only ever choose /dev/dsp as the device for playback & for recording. However, in my .audacity file, I had: PlaybackDevice=/dev/dsp0.1 RecordingDevice=/dev/dsp0.1 Until today, this has always worked, now suddenly I can't record! I noticed there is no /dev/dsp file - I thought there was one before. So I tried the following: #cd /dev # rm /dev/dsp rm: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory # ln -s /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp ln: /dev/dsp: File exists # sudo rm /dev/dsp rm: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory # sudo ln -s /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp ln: /dev/dsp: File exists That doesn't seem to make any sense at all! I guess this might be an audacity issue (I have tried rebuilding it, but it made no difference), but I'm pretty sure it's only since I upgraded to 5.4p2 that the problem has occurred. I can use the artsdsp audacity command to run audacity & record, but I prefer not to because the waveform display misbehaves when I do that & it worked just fine the other way before. Any suggestions? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpnNifu7miEZ.pgp Description: PGP signature
correct make switch syntax for Hylafax
Hi,
I want to build Hylafax with a default page size of A4. The Makefile says:
# Defaults to "North American Letter". Use "ISO A4" for A4.
.if defined(PAGESIZE)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-PAGESIZE="${PAGESIZE}"
.endif
So what exactly should I put after make to get A4?
Usually these options are straightforward ( like -DWITH_)but
sometimes I find it really hard to figure out what to use. I've tried various
options but they don't seem to be correct.
Cheers,

This can explain why you didn't create it. Actually, I've just checked a 5.4 system I'm building from scratch at the moment and it has host.conf & nsswitch.conf on it. host.conf says "Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf" Is this a circular argument? :-) Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpAAaYBTIjXV.pgp Description: PGP signature

NSSwitch settings on 5.4
Hi, I'm trying to configure an openldap server on 5.4 and I'm unsure of what the correct settings in nsswitch.conf should be for a 5.4-Release system, since the default seems to be different to previous releases. Perhaps someone here might know? I've been using the guide at http://books.blurgle.ca/read/chapter/1 as a reference. This document says you have these lines in your nsswitch.conf: passwd: files ldap group: files ldap On my 5.4-Release system, the default nsswitch.conf is: group: compat group_compat: nis hosts: files dns networks: files passwd: compat passwd_compat: nis shells: files So should I have group: compat ldap passwd: compat ldap or group: files ldap passwd: files ldap or some other combination? Using the 'compat ldap' version, I get errors in /var/log/messages: May 13 22:42:26 daemon -csh: NSSWITCH(nsparser): /etc/nsswitch.conf line 1: 'compat' used with other sources May 13 22:42:26 daemon -csh: NSSWITCH(nsparser): /etc/nsswitch.conf line 5: 'compat' used with other sources Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpfcufap6TdC.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well that sort of works - cron jobs get sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] except for the periodic jobs, which are still sent from root@.hamcoll.sa.edu.au. Perhaps periodic sends the emails itself instead of cron, though looking at it's source I can't see how. Also, I still need to adjust my sendmail config on the server that is our local smtp server. It seems to be putting the hostname back in cron's emails. Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpMM3BdU9mV8.pgp Description: PGP signature
Problem re-compiling ogmrip
Hi, I'm trying to complete the update of perl on my 5.3R system and I'm having trouble with multimedia/ogmrip (ogmrip-0.6.2). When I ran the portupgrade command as specified in UPDATING, it all went ok until it got to ogmrip, where it just hung. Eventually I pressed Ctrl+C and it skipped it and continued with the upgrade. At the end several ports had failed: ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) removed ! print/teTeX-latex2e (teTeX-latex2e-1.0.20031201) (port directoryerror) ! www/firefox (firefox-1.0_7,1) (unknown build error) * www/flashplugin-firefox (flashplugin-firefox-0.4.12) ! graphics/librsvg2 (librsvg2-2.8.1_1) (unknown build error) * x11-fm/nautilus2 (nautilus2-2.8.2_1) ! multimedia/ogmrip (ogmrip-0.6.2) (interrupted by user) * graphics/gimp (gimp-gnome-2.2.3,1) * sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter2 (gnomecontrolcenter2-2.8.1_2) ! misc/xfce4-panel-themes (xfce4-panel-themes-4.0.6_1) (invalid package name) * x11-wm/xfce4 (xfce-4.0.6_1) So I then tried to update those by hand.

Hi,
Sorry, I'm still having trouble with this - my changes don't seem to
have had any effect, cron is still sending mail as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon)
I think I've done something wrong!
What I did was:
#cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron
#ee config.h:
and I changed the line
#define MAILARGS "%s -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t" /*-*/
to
#define MAILARGS "%s [EMAIL PROTECTED] -odi -oem -oi -t" /*-*/
(I assume the # at the beginning is correct?)
then I did:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron# cd ..
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron# make
===> lib

(Are the warnings are harmless?)
Then:
# /etc/rc.d/cron stop
# cp /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/cron /usr/sbin
# chmod 555 /usr/sbin/cron
# /etc/rc.d/cron start

Yes, if you update your kernel, you can't load it except by re-booting.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
BTW, using C{E} instead if C{E}root plus the MASQUERADE_AS macro doesn't seem
to work. I didn't try the MASQUERADE_ENVELOPE macro with it though.
Actually, even sending mail as my own local user on the system ends up with
the hostname added in. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
Anyway, from what you've both said, rebuilding cron sounds like a better
solution. Once I've modified the source, do I just do a make install from
the /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron directory?

It's mail from cron, periodic etc. that I want to redirect to my work email account, so i can tell if my server is still alive when I'm on holidays.

Sendmail masquerading configuration
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I want to make sendmail (on a 5.3-Release server) leave the host name out of
the sender address when sending mail from that machine.
I.E. mail from root currently has a sender address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I
want it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
I need to do this because our "smart host" mail server (over which I have no
control) rejects mail from our domain if it has a hostname in it. Since my
server is in a VPN, I forward root's mail to my own account on the 'smart
host' server to make it accessible from outside the VPN.
I think that the masquerading settings have changed somewhat since I last did
this. I read http://www.sendmail.org/m4/masquerading.html, it suggests
MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') but when I tried that, it didn't work.
I believe it used to be just a matter of adding Dmfoo.bar to sendmail.cf &
restart sendmail, but that doesn't work.
I have commented out the C{E}root line so that doesn't override the Dm setting
for root.
Sorry this OT, I did try to find somewhere else to ask this question, but the
newsgroup listed on the sendmail site doesn't seem to exist (according to my
news reader) so I'm asking here instead.
Cheers,

The man pages says: If directory arguments are not given, fc-cache uses each directory in the current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which contains proper- ties of each font and the associated filename. This cache is used to speed application startup when using the fontconfig library. So it must look at your X config file & finds out where the font directories are from that.

Are you using the native firefox or the linux version? I would suggest you use the native version (and mybe remove any linux versions you have installed to avoid any confusion).

This is a great idea, since you don't have to go through the agony of building the linux jdk again to bootstrap the compile on the other machine(s). One caveat - if you have make options that optimise the build for a particular processor, you may run into trouble running it on other processors.

That was how I was considering doing backups in DVD sized chunks until I found out the -P option in 5.3. I've just tried doing it in 5.3 & works. Here's what I actually did: %sudo dump -1 -B 5 -f /mnt/backups/var.dump /var When prompted for tape 2, in a second xterm I did: %sudo mv var.dump var.dump.1 Then back in xterm1, I said yes to the continue prompt. The dump completed. To restore I did: %restore -Nxvf /mnt/backups/var.dump.1 When asked which tape to use, I said 1 When prompted for tape 2, in xterm2 I did: %sudo mv var.dump.1 var.dump.a %sudo mv var.dump var.dump.1 Then back in xterm1: End-of-tape encountered You have read volumes: 1 Specify next volume #: 2 Mount tape volume 2 Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /mnt/backups/var.dump.1) none extract file ./db/entropy/saved-entropy.6 extract file ./tmp/kdecache-root/ksycoca Add links Set directory mode, owner, and times. set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] n So it works in 5.3, maybe there is a bug in the old dump or restore program? NB, I didn't need to use -b 2 in the restore command. Perhaps you should try it without that switch.

I figured I should be able to fix it by renaming my home directory, then use rmuser to delete my account & create a new account with the same uid. Well I figured wrongly! I still couldn't ssh to my new account. Then I tried deleting that account & creating a new one with the same name but a different UID - still no joy. I just get "error: PAM: authentication error for imoore" every time. So why does it work for new user with a different username? Is PAM somehow keeping the old password somewhere?

Looking at what's been happening in this thread since I last checked my mail, I gather you are now faced with doing this. I'm no expert, but I'd say cd to each of the ports directories and do a make deinstall. Do all the kde ports, leaving the kde3 metaport till last. Then make deinstall quanta, arts & qt. Now set your PACKAGESITE env. variable as per the instructions on fruitsalad. Then pkg_add qt, arts, kdelibs, kdebase, kdenetwork, then the other kde ports, quanta & finally the kde metaport. Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Ian Moore GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc pgppFbzLaYG1X.pgp Description: PGP signature

You could try removing the kde packages & install packages instead - the FreeBSD-KDE people seem to suggest that's the prefered method for KDE. See http://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/index.html for the correct PACKAGESITE setting to use with portupgrade. Having said that, the latest ports have some more recent updates, so kdenetwork & one or two others will still need to be compliled from ports to get you fully up to date.

I open up my old backup tapes & use a cutting blade to cut through the tape spool in a couple of places, to you end up with hundreds of pieces of tape, no more than a couple of centimetres long. Then I generally throw them in a couple of different bins. Tape de-gaussers usually aren't much good - they were mostly made for erasing open reel tape that used ferric oxide particles. Backup tapes normally use metal particle tapes that need a much stronger magnetic field to effectively erase them.

SSH suddenly giving pam error for existing user
Hi, I can normally ssh to my home computer (using password authentication), but today it's stopped working. The last time I did it was about 9 days ago from work & it worked then. The console log shows: Jan 19 17:04:25 daemon sshd[61084]: error: PAM: authentication error for imoore from firewall. I've tried connecting from 2 different remote hosts, one at work & another elsewhere - same result. When I got home today, I tried creating a new user & then ssh'ed to a remote machine & ssh'ed back to mine with the new username. I was able to log in OK as the new user. I then changed the password for my normal user & tried to ssh back with the new password, but I still can't login. I'm running 5.3-RELEASE-p2. I have upgraded a few ports since ssh last worked - openoffice and a few bit & pieces - I'm not sure what exactly. I haven't altered my ipfw config in that time, nor have I upgraded the base system or kernel. Can anyone think what might have caused this?

It sounds like you might be using /bin/sh, the Bourne shell, which doesn't support those functions, but is the default for non-root accounts. The root account by default uses /bin/csh (actually the tcsh) which does what you want. So all you need to do is change the chell of your user. The easiest way is to login as your user & type chsh On the line than starts with Shell:, change /bin/sh to /bin/csh Save the changes and then logout & login again & you should have command line completion & job history. To make auto-completion better, edit the file .cshrc in your home directory and add the line autolist = ambigous after the set prompt = line. Alternatively, you could install & use another shell like bash or ksh... Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc pgpk59ALZi3it.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, I think I've found the problem - the error message I get with ntpq is "write to localhost.foo.com failed: Permission denied". My machine's hostname is daemon.foo.com, something I assumed was safe to use. Well it turns out that localhost.foo.com actually exists, it resolves to 216.234.246.150, as do lots of others like localhost.foo.org, foobar.org, example.org etc. So ntpq must do a reverse name lookup for localhost. and in my case it doesn't reslove to 127.0.0.1 but to 216.234.246.150, to which ntpq has no access - hence the Permission denied error! Now I'm not sure what the best way to get around this would be. I run a caching name server on the machine, so I guess I can tweak it to force localhost.foo.com resolve to 127.0.0.1 Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc pgpNlb5tuOeDC.pgp Description: PGP signature

ntpd problems since upgrading to 5.3
Hi, Ever since I upgraded from 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE, I've been getting the following error on boot: ntpd[380]: bind() fd 7, family 28, port 123, addr fe80:1 ::204:61ff:fe46:be89, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0 fails: Can't assign requested address ntpd seems to be working from what I can see in it's log file, but I can't do anything with ntpq to check it. Wether I run it as my normal user or as root, running ntpq -p always gives: ntpq: write to localhost.foo.com failed: Permission denied I can run ntpq without any flags (and get the ntpq> prompt), but as soon as I try to run commands in it like associations or peers, it just comes back with that same error message. I assume this has something to do with the first error message & that ntpq is trying (& failing) to bind to ipv6, but I'm unsure why that's the case. Here's the output of ifconfig in case that helps: vr0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::204:61ff:fe46:be89%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:04:61:46:be:89 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 I've tried disabling my firewall and running ntpq -p again, but I still get the same response. I've tried googling for a solution, but haven't found anything as yet so I hope someone here can help! Here is my ntpd entries in rc.conf: ntpd_enable="YES" # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO). ntpd_program="/usr/sbin/ntpd" # path to ntpd, if you want a different one. ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid" and the contents of ntp.conf: server 210.48.130.204 server augean.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au driftfile /var/db/ntpd.drift logfile /var/log/ntpd Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/imoore/imoore.asc pgp6RektuyCqN.pgp Description: PGP signature

You need to have device ATAPI_CAM device scbus device cd in your kernel in order to do this. That will allow the gui cd burning apps like k3b & cdbakeoven to burn cds using cdrecord, though you can still use burncd if you prefer.

Hi Vince, I bought the same DVD drive a few weeks ago & it works just fine on my 5.3-RELEASE system. I can watch DVDs, mount a DVD-ROM & I've burnt a DVD-RW successfully. There's nothing special in my kernel except ATAPICAM support. I mount it as a SCSI device, so maybe it's worth trying that on your system?

Just force delete all old versions of mod-php4 and then install the new version of php4 or mod-php4 (whichever one you actually want). The other ports shouldn't need to be reinstalled, because the new version of php installs to the same location as the old version. Hence the ports that use it will just use the new version automatically. You may also want to clean up the duplicate gallery versions by using pkg_delete -f to remove both versions and then install just the latest version of gallery. To avoid this problem in the future, always use portupgrade to upgrade your ports. That way you won't get multiple versions installed!
