Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVTLOG_CFLAGS and EVTLOG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. It is strange, because previous build (on August 27) works without problems ... Any idea?? Probably because syslog-ng relies upon pkgconfig, but assumes it will be installed by one of the dependent ports so doesn't explicitly declare the dependency. Poudriere has a habit of only installing the immediate dependencies of the package it is currently compiling, so exposes such issues when a port is updated, but none of its dependencies are. Bug ports/181098 is another I found like this. Add this to the port's Makefile after the include of bsd.port.options.mk: USES+= pkgconfig If that corrects the issue you're seeing, submit a pr.

I don't think you ever said if this was two links from the same provider, or two different providers. That's a huge factor in what your options are. You'll have a hard time doing BGP-based failover with a /26. It's just too small a route to be announced globally. This stuff isn't just a technical question, but also one of policy and politics. In order to get to a proper solution, your best option is probably to give the provider(s) a call, and explain what you'd like to do. Depening on a lot of things, one option could be to have the provider owning the IP(s) tunnel it over the other link durin fault. Hard to say if they will, so you really nedd to talk to them. In the meantime, DNS-failover is a lot better than nothing. Did the OP say he was running servers at all? If there are no servers, then any of a number of dual-wan routers will handle the problem with no difficulty and minimal expense. If he is running servers, these routers generally come with built in software to do dynamic updates of DNS, that I understand works, provided you don't have unreasonable expectations about reliability.

Okay... 4U Disk Enclosure, has 2 physical compute nodes, each physical compute nodes has 2 LSI 9211-8i controllers, so thats 4 total controllers across 2 nodes the box is enclosure is zoned and FreeBSD can see the following nodeA 16 daX devices 16 sesX,passX devices NodeB 16 daX devices 16 sesX,passX devices there are 32 disks in the box, so the numbers are good, however each LSI card only has a total of 8 SATA drives assigned to it hence 4 x 8 = 32 drives... for gmultipath and zfs shouldnt each controller see 32 drives? or 16 drives for HA basically im thinking the enclosure shouldnt be zoned at all so each LSI controller can see every SATA drive, with gmultipath in the mix, i should be able to label 32 devices, and have both nodes recognize them... correct??? or am I chasing the rabbit down the wrong hole? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm looking to set up some sort of revision control system at work. Simple enough, except that our situation is approximately the reverse of what most revision control systems are designed for. Unlike, e.g., FreeBSD kernel development, we have dozens or hundreds of small, rapid-fire projects that are created at the rate of 3 to 20 per month. They last a few days or a few months and are (usually) not developed afterward. Each project has one to three developers working on it, sometimes simultaneously. Usually it's one guy per project. Since my programmers are not necessarily UNIX-savvy, I'd like to deploy a web interface for them which will allow them to create new repositories (projects) as well as the normal checkin, checkout, etc. I want to set this up once, and from there on have the programmers deal with managing their own repos. And heaven forfend exposing them to the horrors of the shell. I've built a test server (9.0-RC3, amd64) for experimenting with this stuff. So far I've installed and played with: - fossil. I like the simplicity and light weight, but it doesn't seem to allow creation of new repos at all (let alone multiple ones) from the web interface, and the documentation is meager. I've pretty much given up on it. - subversion, which looks like the heavy hitter of RCSs, but it's not at all clear to me how to handle the multiple-project scenario. Still working on it. - git looks promising, but I have not installed it yet. If anyone can point me to a tool that might be suitable, I would be most grateful. I'd suggest subversion. It allows individual files to be versioned, you can setup a webdav interface, and there are other tools that can help maintain it. Forget the individual repositories. Setup a single repository and have directories for each project. in each directory you can then setup trunk, branches, whatever, as per best practices in the Book.

Also, Tortoise svn is a very nice graphical utility that will allow your developers to manage there svn folders without even needing a web interface (most non unix people that I know like tortoise), so there is less maintenance for you :) Finally, kudos to moving towards using version control, its an important step for a software company. git or mercurial - best choices ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I was wondering if something like PC-BSD + CPanel would be the way to go. Would there be other BSD-based alternatives? I always do upgrades and configure services through the shell and I am not aware too much about the GUI alternatives... FreeBSD and ISPCP do wonders and its not bloated like cpanel, source available and it just works, webmin is junk, and cpanel is resource intensive There are webbased configuration tools that run on common service combinations (like Apache + MySQL + PHP) that can be installed. However _installing_ them requires a skilled person who is able to administrate a server, which in turn traditionally implies the ability to use the command line, even if it's just for that abstraction job. FreeBSD can be the OS running such a combination. PC-BSD primarily aims at desktop usage, so for example it defaults to KDE, office applications, multimedia stuff and all the things you traditionally won't want on a server. Software solutions that come to mind are CPanel or WebMin. Maybe there are others? I'm not sure as I void those mostly inflexible, error-prone, overcomplicated and dangerous piles of bloat whenever possible. :-) For managing installed applications (ports), there are KDE tools for that (at least _have been_ in the past, not sure if they are still being maintained). The system cannot be updated by a GUI tool (why should it?), but it should be a job of max. 30 minutes to create a Tcl/Tk GUI wrapper for those things. And firewall configuration: I'm quite sure PC-BSD has something for that, except that it probably won't give you the flexibility to automatically change firewall rules depending on different kinds of attacks the server will encounter. Please keep in mind: If you're running a web server, you're part of the target group of thousands of villains across the Internet who will happily exploit any weakness you are presenting to them, depending on the services and software you run. What's possible to run will also depend on what kind of server you have. For example if you run a server without any GPU, but PC-BSD depends on hardware-accellerated 3D graphics for managing the firewall, then... you know. :-) There still is a question that your friend should give an answer to himself: Wouldn't it be worth investing in basic UNIX skills and command line operations to gain knowledge and experience to professionally administer a server instead of relying on abstracted layers of abstracted abstractions that GUIs provide here, maybe paying with speed and security loss?

Supported versions of Linux such as RHEL, Suse, etc. seem to have made more headway into the enterprise computing environment in the last ten years than *BSD did in the last 30. I think the explanation is rather simple, Give the user what he wants, not what you think he wants. I would highly advise against doing such a thing. So much evil in Ask me what you want, I will give you what you asked. I did this only once, some stupid foe in management asked me to activate and send him every little warning of anything that would happen to the production servers. I advise against it, but he insisted, I then stubbornly refused and he threaten to have me fired. So I activated the every thing SNMP trap I could think of and forwarded him. In the first hour, even before any backup or maintenance operation, he received about 10 000 mails. You are never going to satisfy every conceivable user, so concentrate on the core users. Microsoft has done that extremely well. On the latest Windows 7, getting wireless up and running is the most effortless thing I have done in awhile. Keeping it up is a different beast, not even mentioning the constant disconnect/reconnect operations if by any chance you sit between two AP, you will learn new meanings for pain if your wifi is not natively supported by windows. Most of the time Windows wifi management, and closed vendors wifi management do not get along too well. True there were huge progress made in Windows 7, but honestly I still do prefer the FreeBSD approach were I can choose my AP once and for all. Windows does everything but fill in the password. On FreeBSD, well lets just say if that even if they had a driver for the wireless card I have installed, getting it up and running would be another matter. Correct me if I am wrong, but even network manager is not available on FreeBSD is it? I never saw the use of the tool network manager under Linux. Very honestly I turn it off and remove it as soon as I can. The only thing it ever did to me is giving headaches. FreeBSD forces you to pick your wireless card carefully. But it is not a huge problem. I have not checked in awhile. I know that there are some programs listed, but none of them work as seamlessly as Microsoft's. It is a basic truism in any business that in order to beat your rival, you have to produce a better product or one that costs less and still maintains the same basic usability. FreeBSD users are expected to be able to read and to use this ability. Sure this does cut FreeBSD from quite a lot of potential users, but then again making an OS for people who do not want to read the manual is a very bad idea. Simply creating a free product that is not as usable is not enough. If you cannot accomplish that, then at least try to create the illusion of it. FreeBSD has failed at the goal also. From my personal experience - which is relatively limited - it seems applications just work on Linux? When I need to compile an app, it takes a few mins on Linux - but may take me a few weeks on FBSD. Granted someone more knowledgeable with FBSD, Compilers, etc. could do it much faster than I. Anyway, if someone has a brief explanation of why Linux has apparently triumphed (in so far as installed base, desktop penetration, etc.) where so many others have failed (including IBM with OS/2) I'd be interested in hearing those thoughts. OS/2 was IBM's fault from the beginning. They insisted that it be tied to the 286 processor. Gates attempted to talk them out of it in a famous meeting in Armonk, NY. IBM refused and effectively wrote it's own death sentence with OS/2. As with any product, first impressions are crucial. Their first one failed. Unfortunately, so many FOSS pundits have not learned this simple lesson. From Wikipedia: OS/2 1.x targeted the 80286 processor: IBM insisted on supporting the Intel 80286 processor, with its 16-bit segmented memory mode, due to commitments made to customers who had purchased many 80286-based PS/2's because of IBM's promises surrounding OS/2.[16] Until release 2.0 in April 1992, OS/2 ran in 16-bit protected mode and therefore could not benefit from the Intel 80386's much simpler 32-bit flat memory model and virtual 8086 mode features.

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Just take some advice from the owner of a WISP... and a FreeBSD user. if your only trying to get connectivity a less then 500 USD this is easily accomplished buy a couple high end radios with built in antennas, Ubiquiti PowerStations come to mind, place 1 at each end of the link if line of sight is close to good, your done.

For the RF transmission part, you will need antennas (yagí type ideally) with a good signal gain and narrow radiation. It's possible to build them, but I'm sure they're sold, too. Optionally, a power amplifier (PA) may be added on both ends to strengthen the signal if it's too low.

Then we have the discussion of interoperability. If it stays as in his game plan and doesnt encounter scope creep (not like it doesnt happen) at some time, he might wish to choose the best overall design to implement, again my vote would be LDAP. it is the most globally scaable, relocable and interoperable once its deployed allowing for future growth without a serious amount of pain. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Linux for freebsd admins

Notice i said in my opinion. I did not say it wasnt functional, but there is a learning curve to becoming a serious Gentoo administrator, where with FreeBSD ports/packages, and Debians APT that curve is far less. case in point, give a windows admin 3-4 systems, one Debian, one FreeBSD, One Gentoo, One SLackware, one RPM based for 60 days, in the end youll see which they prefer because they find the learning curve far less and get more accomplished in productions with, trust me, this has been tried and proven many times, its great for finding employees potential capacities. and in the end... I have found all people tested choose FreeBSD, then a Debian based derivitive, why because maintenance capabilities on these systems far out stretches the rest. its just easier to do. lreaving more time for focusing on production efficiency. i may be painful for them but in the end, your employees will get more accomplished when you choose the right OS.

Re: Linux for freebsd admins
I also find ot quite funny nobody asked about the heart of the matter before

its not a complex equation here, problem, app wount run... solution change

resolving the original issue
problem, app wount run

Redhat sucks, you have to pay them monies, it's dependancy hell, AND you
have to do things their way - otherwise your system will be shizz. Yeah,
what are your goals for this system?
On the other hand, Gentoo is very clean and the next best thing to FreeBSD.
If you look up their history, Gentoo is a Linux deritive of freeBSD it has
many things in common if you ask me (thanks to Gentoo I am now on freeBSD).
so... i wonder why this app wouldnt run on Ubuntu Server or Debian for

most
sensible from a mmanageability aspect
Why do you want to dumb down? I don't want to talk down any Linux system
(EXCEPT RED HAT) but Gentoo is more stable, and the footprint is quite
small, more manageable, and they don't put out release after release. Gentoo
is more of a server system but makes a great desktop as well.

Jon, you should be able to get most if not all of it working though. --Tim I would like to see the documentation as well. -- Cheers, Trey The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. --Antoninus, Marcus Aurelius Linux valkyrie 2.6.22.17-0.1-bigsmp i686 GNU/Linux 9:10am up 11:11, 7 users, load average: 0.98, 0.98, 1.06 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: A general purpose LDAP solution?
GOSA is another nice feature full LDAP manager in PHP, does samba, dns, mail, web, asterisk etc etc etc On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 12:02 AM, Christopher Sean Hilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mar 24, 2008, at 6:40 PM, Jon Theil Nielsen wrote: I asked this on freebsd-net@ but got no replies. So now I ask the same question here. Hi list! I have speculated a lot about implementation of (Open)LDAP on my sever. By I haven't yet found the right (and logical) way to do it. I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-Release with some different server applications - Samba PDC - Virtual mail server (Postfix, MySQL, Courier-IMAP) - VPN (currently with mpd4) - Apache-2.2.8 web server (with PHP and MySQL) I would like to implement LDAP for: - authentication of UNIX/login users - authentication of Samba users - authentication/authorization of virtual mail users For the first part, I got useful information from a previsous thread ( http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2008-02/msg01047.html ) and for the second part, i guess there is sufficient howtos to make it work. Tim Judd's advice is good for a start. I'm currently using ldap for authentication of: Jabber (directly) WebDAV (through Apache2's mod_auth_ldap) inbound email (imap/pop) outbound email (smtp+auth) As a general rule the experience has been very positive. The biggest issues that I've run into are maintenance of the underlying ldap database which involves keeping tiny ldif files scattered around. Certainly the biggest hassle is in doing ldapadd and ldapmodify from the command line with all the torturous options that you have to provide (BindDn, BindPassword, TargetDN). Nonetheless it's been a generally positive experience. In looking at your list of applications it seems that most of them will support ldap authentication directly. Mpd4 doesn't but it does support Radius so it looks like you'll have to build radius to authenticate against LDAP and then have mpd4 authenticate against radius. SMTP is similar. It doesn't support authentication via LDAP directly. It uses SASL which can also authenticate against LDAP. My biggest question right now is if is possible to combine all three things in one data structure. And which in which order I should make the different implimentions. Excuse my total lack of understanding, but is it possible to have a structure with a superior unit such as OU=some organization which could contain several virtual domains and the actual doamin for my PDC? The answer to this question would be a set of non-conflicting ldap schemas to support the functions that you need. If your needs are simple authentication the schemas that ship with openldap will provide fruit. If you want to make ldap your database for delivering mail to virtual users there are a few path's out there. Courier had/has a schema for supporting virtual users that could be banged into shape but if I recall correctly it's support for keeping virtual domain information in ldap is lacking. Phamm, /usr/ports/net/phamm completely supports virtual domains and virtual users including delegation of user management. E.g. the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] can reset passwords for user@example.com. Phamm also has a neat web interface for administration. However, when I was setting it up I found it more overly complex for my needs. Like using a Formula 1 car for a grocery run. However I think that it even works with the Samba schema so it may be exactly what you want. -- Jon Theil Nielsen Oh, i forgot one more thing: I would also like to be able to authenticate VPN users the same way. mpd4 + radius + ldap should get you where you want to be. -- Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
