You don't normally need to specify DHCP for the interface. I'm now totally confused. I tried this configuration also, but the connection still drops in every 3 hours.

Re: automatically starting PostgreSQL

Re: automatically starting PostgreSQL
For reasons having to do with our particular operation, it is our custom to build many packages from source code no matter the operating system, so I don't want to install from the ports tree. Did you know that when you install from the ports tree, it will actually download the sources, make important patched for freebsd, and install from that source? In particular, you can give CFLAGS, makefile defines etc. In addition, when you install it from the ports tree, it gets recorded in the package database so you can install other applications that depend on postgresql. (For example, pgadmin3). Why do you want to install it from the sources? If you only want to optimize for your CPU and compile some contrib/extension modules, then you do not need to install from a source tarball yourself. Using the port will be enough. The script I used is one which is part of the PostgreSQL package and is specifically for FreeBSD. As I said the script works as expected. '/etc/rc.d/postgresql start|stop|restart' all work. I also have a duplicate script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which also works as expected when run manually. Neither of these start the server at boot time. First of all, since postgresql is not part of the base system, you should put its rc script under /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead of /etc/rc.d. The rc script won't be execute unless the following criterion are met: 1. The script is executeable (chmod +x filename) 2. The script has a .sh suffix, OR it uses rcorder. (See: man rcorder). Using rcorder is the better because you can define when to start your service. (Obvious example: you need to start networking before starting postgresql...) 3. If the script supports rc variables, then probably you need to adjust some variables in /etc/rc.conf. However, it depends on the script itself. Most ports work with rc scripts. Custom programs installed from source may not need this. I have an apache2 installation also built from source code, and also with a script from an external source, also placed in /etc/rc.d and referenced by the line 'apache2_enable=YES', and this *does* start at boot time. I guess because it is named apache.sh instead of apache, am I right? So I am a little confused as to what I need to do. If I add .sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql, in my /etc/rc.conf do I change my reference line to 'enable_postgresql.sh=YES'? Of course not. The rc variables can be set in rc.conf. They will be checked by the postgresql.sh script. E.g. it is not the base system that checks these variables. Putting variables in rc.conf for programs like postgresql is good because usually you want to disable/enable services in rc.conf. Configuring postgresql is another story. However, it is the startup script of your program that needs to have support for rc variables. I hope this helps.

Re: Invisible process killing the CPU
Possible hardware problem perhaps? Are you able to run a burn-in test on the machine? What is that? How can I perform that? (Tomorrow the machine will be free, I can play with it.) I can imagine that the processor is overheated and so the frequency was reduced by the BIOS. But that does not explain why I cannot see the process using the CPU. An invisible process eating up CPU time cannot be a hardware problem, can it? Stabbing in the dark really.

Re: Invisible process killing the CPU
One possibility is that your CPU fan has failed, in which case newer machines would downclock itself extremely in order to avoid burning out-- that might be an explanation for why your performance has decreased so much. The cpu fan is not failed. This was the first thing I checked before I wrote to this list. The fan is spinning. In my understanding, if the freq goes down then each program will use more of the total CPU time because of the less computing capacity. So, having two processes, instead of 10% + 10% (total 20%) it would be 50% + 50% (total 100%). But this is not the case. On this computer, everything is at 0% but the total CPU is at 100%. Otherwise, try using ps auxw to show all of the processes which are running and see whether there are surprising things, I do not know enough about FreeBSD to tell what is surprising. :-( Would it help to send the output here? or perhaps try top -o time to sort by accumulated CPU time and look at what's consuming the most... Most CPU time is for the ppp daemon: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATETIME WCPU COMMAND 244 root 1 960 3404K 2084K select 1:40 0.00% ppp but I don't think that ppp is causing the problem, since it is at WCPU 0%.

Ouch, that's pages freed by exiting processes, not process forks (gotta get some sleep). Anyway, if this is persistent, then some processes are exiting all the time, and they have to get created somehow, so the scenario is the same... Yess! That was it! Thank you so much! :-) There was a program that forked another in a loop. The forked program was working for days, but now it is throwing an error. You were right. The parent process was starting the child process at an incredibly rate. And you were also right in that, since the child processes were running only for some msec, they where not recognized by top and so they were not shown.

It is always good to update to the latest minor before you update to a different major version. By the way, updating a system from 5 to 6 is a headache. (Updating from 4 to 5 is much easier.)

Re: Fonts on X.Org...
Ne'Bahn írta: Hi list, how can I add some fonts to the system, for instance: Arial, Courier New, and so others. I know there are some fonts that cost to acquire them, but isn't an implementation of these fonts for the open source arena ??? Please read the documentation for xorg.conf. I'm using several TTF fonts from my Windows system. All you need is to create a new directory, place your fonts there and add the new font path in xorg.conf. Be aware, some font files are not in ttf. AFAIK the Xorg server cannot use .fon files. PS: I've some docs made in a Windows environment that use fonts I don't have on FreeBSD, the replacement is very bad, so OpenOffice offers system fonts rather than their fonts (if it has a set), a problem for portability/compatibility but indeed better for availability. For some reason, I also cannot read some documents because of font problems despite that I have those fonts installed. I used to do select all and the change the font to something else; that will make all text readable.

However, if you have misconfigured your keyboard, then you might not use your arrow keys. Try to look at the documentation of xmodmap(1). If you are not sure how to change this in xorg.conf, you can first try to download an xmodmap file for your keyboard layout, and execute this command: xmodmap filename Then you can try to use your arrow keys. Another problem might be that you are using the wrong TERM environment variable inside your xterm. Well, this is very unlikely. You can also try this: setenv TERM xterm-color # c shell set TERM=xterm-color # bash shell export TERM I hope this will help.

Re: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/eel linker error
20061014: AFFECTS: All GTK+2 and GNOME users AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GNOME has been updated to 2.16. All GTK+2 and GNOME components have been moved from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE (/usr/local). To upgrade your GNOME desktop or/and other applications you will need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster. To use portmaster, make sure you have least 1.9 version to have the upgrade succeed. Portupgrade users: pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -rf pkg-config\* I did this, but I still get the same error. I thought this was a problem with my ports tree, but it is not the case. I did not want to reinstall everything again. Fortunately, I had another FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE machine. I did exactly the same things there ( portsnap fetch ; portsnap update; pkdb -Ff ; portupgrade -rf pkg-config\* ) and I got the same problem again. I cannot install ee1 because of the same linker error. I also tried this: messias# portupgrade -a Stale dependency: gail-1.9.3 -- gnome2-fifth-toe-2.12.3 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. messias# pkgdb -F --- Checking the package registry database messias# Although the dependency error was different on the other machine, it is the same kind. I think I did everything right, and now I have two machines where I cannot move forward. Can this be a bug in portupgrade, or FreeBSD?

Re: simple question...how to show packages which depend upon
Graham Bentley írta: And ... how to remove a package and all the packages it sucked in ? All I get from pkg_delete that it isnt even installed when I know it is because that was the previous command I just ran !!! Can you please send us the commands that you have executed? If you used pkg_add -r package name then the name of the package can be a general package name, without version number. This is useful since usually you are not sure what is the latest version, you just want to install it. Here is an example: messias# pkg_add -r mc Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/mc.tbz... Done. pkg_add: package 'mc-4.6.1_3' or its older version already installed However, if you add a package that is saved locally, you need to type in its full name (or path): pkg_add mc-4.6.1_3.tbz or something similar. Once you have the package/port installed, you can lookup its full name with pkg_which: messias# pkg_which mc mc-4.6.1_4 When you need to delete a package, you need to specify the full name (including the version number). The reason for this is easy: it is possible to have different versions of the same package installed at the same time. (Well, this is not true for some packages, but it is true for others...) So instead of doing: pkg_delete mc you should use: pkg_delete mc-4.6.1_4 I hope this answers your question. If it does, then probably reading these man pages will help you a LOT: portupgrade(1) pkg_add(1) pkg_deinstall(1) pkg_delete(1) pkg_glob(1) pkg_info(1) pkg_sort(1) pkg_update(1) pkgdb(1) ports_glob(1) portsclean(1) portsdb(1) portversion(1) pkgtools.conf(5) ports(7) Best, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheap terminals for FreeBSD
Hello, I need to setup an environment where some users (10 to 20 employees) will use terminals to run programs. They need to run a few popular programs: thunderbird, firefox, adobe acrobat, openoffice and gaim. This site will be a customer service. We decided to reduce the costs by using Open Source software and cheap terminal computers. This is a good solution because most of the users will read messages and images on the screen and they can share the same processor and memory. I know that I can setup a computer and use its X server as a terminal for another computer. This solution still requires new (or used) computers. I would like to reduce the costs to the minimum. Here are some key questions that I could not answer: - Is there a more cost-effective solution? (Something that I did not think of) - How much RAM will I need? Will FireFox Thunderbird and OpenOffice load shared objects and reduce the overall memory usage? Or should I reserve 256MB of memory for each client? - Do I need to use gigabit ethernet? Or is it enough to use a normal 100 Mbps wired network? I heard that there can be bandwidth problems when using many terminals, but I do not have experience. - Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of? It would be perfect to provide links to some articles or manuals - I do not need anyone to write detailed instuctions and do my job. I'm asking for help because the handbook was not very useful in this case. I only found this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/term.html#TERM-X It does not help too much, and there is no know-how. I need to know what hardware I need to buy.

Re: LDAP Thunderbird and security (OFF)
Nagy László írta: Hello, I would like to create an LDAP server, for storing address book information for Thunderbird. E-mail clients will be connecting remotely with IMAPS (over the internet). Is there a secure way to do this? I know that samba can create an LDAP server but it is not secure, is it? I also know that I could create a VPN connection, but for my users, this is too difficult to setup. :-) Do you know a solution, definitely for FreeBSD, that is relatively easy to setup on the client side, and secure? I could setup openldap, and my thunderbird can connect to it. But I cannot add persons to that address book. I also asked this on the openldap mailing list, but I had no answer since two days. I read somewhere that Thunderbird requires a special schema to be present on the LDAP server. Anybody out there who could use openldap with thinderbird?

Re: LDAP Thunderbird and security (OFF)
First, OpenLDAP isn't easy to set up; but it's worth the trouble. You should probably move this to the openldap list, or the thunderbird list, since it really has nothing to do with FreeBSD. Yes, this is (OFF), see the subject. Unfortunately, the openldap mailing list is not active. I could hardly subscribe, and then nobody answered. I have Thurderbird reading my directory, but I haven't worked on getting Thunderbird to write to an LDAP directory. You need to set up your LDAP with TLS and the proper ACLs; and depending on your situation you may want a seperate ou for the address book. Maybe even a seperate ou for each user (ouch). No special schema required, it should read the standard mail, phone, etc attributes. Check the LDAP RFCs for a complete list. Well, after a day messing with these, I tried to find other solutions. Here is what I found: http://www.gargan.org/extensions/synckolab.html It is not perfect, because you need to press a button to synchronize. But it is easy to install, and it uses the already existing IMAP server.

Re: Shared IMAP folder (off)
There's some directions at http://www.flatmtn.com/computer/Linux-Imap-UW.html (found by googling uw imap shared folders) but I'm not sure I follow them. It looks like it's just setting up another IMAP account that happens to be shared I use cyrus-imap, and it seems to have fairly straight-forward support for shared/public folders from what little I've played with them. Okay, I think you are right. I should switch to cyrus-imapd. But there is a big difference between the two. Here is what the package description says: A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on sealed servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. I already have some users with many e-mails (created with uw-imap). How can I migrate between the two?

Shared IMAP folder
Hello, I would like to share some IMAP folders between users. I'm currently using postfix and uw-imap. Is this possible? How should I do this? (Hard links between IMAP files?) The basic problem is this: we have a company and we have some employees, doing help desk service. There are cases with different e-mail threads. When an employee goes on holiday, the others should be able to continue his work. The best was to do this is - I believe - a shared IMAP folder. Our employees are using Thunderbird. That wonderful program can display message threads. It is very nice, but how can these users share their e-mails? Is it possible to do this with FreeBSD and Thunderbird?

Re: Postgresql Autovacuum how?
Nick Withers írta: I've created a .pgpass file in /root (which is read only by root) containing the password for the pgsql user.

This file should have the format: hostname:port:database:username:password Any of these may be a literal name, or *, which matches anything. The first match will be used so put more specific entries first. Entries with : or \ should be escaped with \. The permissions on .pgpass must disallow any access to world or group; achieve this by the command chmod 0600 .pgaccess. If the permissions are less strict than this, the file will be ignored. Thank you, I'll try this. _ This is my pg_hba.conf file: # TYPE DATABASEUSERCIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # local is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all ident sameuser hostall all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 hostssl all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5 The autovacuum script was packaged for FreeBSD, so I assume this is a FreeBSD specific thing. My question is: why ident/sameuser not working here? How can I enable auto vacuums without storing the password in the periodic/daily/502.pgsql script? I'm not familiar with the sameuser directive, presumably this prohibits a system user from logging in as a user in the database with a different name? Ident sameuser means that the user will be identified with the IDENT protocol. Then if the unix user name matches a postgresql user name, the user can connect without providing the password. Without giving 'sameuser', the unix and postgresql user names will be matched through pg_ident.conf.

Re: gmirror and partitioning
Hi Laszlo, No bugs; I think this is normal. Both the BIOS and the OS are only going to see the blocks the hard drive thinks are useable. Bad sector information is also stored on the disk, and only the OS can interpret this information. Or is it possible that the manufacturer produces the hard drive first, then measures its real capacity and finally burns this info into a flash memory on the drive? :-) Even though the drive geometry is fictitious, most people still recommend defining your slices to begin and end on cylinder boundaries. I assume this makes accessing blocks in the slice a few nanoseconds faster, but I'm actually not sure. Perhaps someone on the list knows more detail. In any case, if you do this for as10s1 gmirror will replicate this property to the other disk. You'll also most likely have a few blocks left over. As for units of MB, I'm not sure. Could be rounding. Can we assume your gmirror is now working? Oh yes, it is working. I do not care about that one lost MB. The lesson of the story: I'll leave 10MB empty space at the end of the disk whenever I need to use gmirror.

You could do the install on the smaller disk first, or you could make ad10s1 smaller. Okay, I did this. But I'm still interested in the topic. The size of a hard drive is determined by the manufacturer. It depends on how many sectors, heads and cylinders present in the device. The actual available size can be smaller because of bad sectors on the disc. But the BIOS (or FreeBSD) should detect the full size, including all sectors. These devices are identical. Then how in the hell could it add one more MB to the second device? I presume if I swap drives between ata4-master and ata5-master then still ad10 would be bigger. Is this a bug in FreeBSD?

Did you do a custom newfs? No. What's you partition layout? First slice is a Windows NTFS, 45GB Then I have a 35GB slice for FreeBSD (type 165). Inside that slice, I used automatic partitioning. What did you install (only the bare base? or also additional distributions/packages) I selected the 'All binaries and doc but no games, kernel sources only' option. But the problem occurs while it displays: extracting base into / so probably it has nothing to do with the selected distros/packages.
