munin related
Hi everybody, Today while trying to install munin-node on 9.2 from ports I keep getting the following error: ===> Checking if sysutils/munin-common already installed ===> Creating users and/or groups. Using existing group `munin'. Creating user `munin' with uid `842'. pw: user 'munin' already exists *** [create-users-groups] Error code 74 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/munin-common. *** [build-depends] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/munin-node. *** [build] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/munin-node. Do you have any idea what can cause this? The ports are up to date. I've tried before installing munin-node via pkg_add, it installed successfully but didn't work properly so I uninstall and tried it via ports. Any suggestions? Thx!

ufs recovery
Hi, By mistake I forgot to edit my crontab on my FreeBSD 8.3 after I took out one of the hard drives. I had a little rsync script which I used to synchronise a directory between those two hard drives, because one of the hard drives were not present anymore and rsync had the --delete parameter I end up deleting the whole directory, of course with precious informations. I have ufs on the hdd, after the "accident" I've turned off the computer to avoid any writings on the disk. Do you have any idea how can I recover the lost directory? Thank you!

FreeBSD 8.2 as wifi client
Hi there,
Yesterday I've received a usb wifi card.
I've successfully connected to my home network with wpa-psk but I couldn't make
it to connect via boot.
This is my wifi interface:
run0: flags=8a43 metric 0 mtu
2290
ether 00:22:2d:47:12:10
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g
status: associated
And this is my wpa_supplicant file:
# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="*"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
scan_ssid=1
psk="*"
}
I've also added the following lines to my rc.conf:
wlans_run0="wlan0"
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
ifconfig_wlan0="192.168.1.201"
I've also added a script which eventually brings up the wifi link:
# cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wlan0_interface_up.sh
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
...but I don't think this is the proper way.
Do you have any experience with this?
Thx!
Laszlo
