Re: enable fetchmail system-wide mode
Hello Bob, I want to run fetchmail enabled for system wide mode. The command line cmd fetchmail -q issued from user root gets meaningless error msg. The error message may be meaningless to you, but without it cannot help you here. Reviewing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail has comments talking about system wide mode running under user fetchmail. How does the system admin control fetchmail when user fetchmail needs password to logon and no where is password given during install. In daemon mode, the password is supposed to be stored in the config file. Fetchmail also supports more advanced authentication mechanisms like Kerberos, but I do not have any experience with it, and without support from the mail server it seems useless. Also /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc which is suppose to be the config file is empty. Even fetchmailrc.sample is empty. Fetchmail supports literally dozends of configurations. IMO the port must try and duplicate fetchmail's documentation. You can use the fetchmailconf program to create and manage fetchmail configurations (must not build WITHOUT_X11 then). The port pkg-message file is absent so there is no information describing how to configure fetchmail in system-wide mode or individual user mode. These are unique run modes to freebsd and are not covered in the fetchmail manual. The port pkg-message file should be created with instructions about how to configure it. Users are supposed to read the 'fetchmail' rc script (this convention is also used by other ports). You are right in that a short pkg-message that contains a pointer to that file is usefull for novice fetchmail users on FreeBSD. Did you have a look at the /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc file? Do you have suggestions how to improve the documentation provided at the beginning of that file? Please update your ports tree and rebuild the port -- I will commit some small improvements now. Before in 4.11 through 5.4 I started fetchmail using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh and /root/,fetchmailrc and had root admin control of fetchmail. How do I achieve admin control now that fetchmail has been converted to use rc.conf fetchmail_enable=YES to start at boot time? Simply copy your previous fetchmail config file (presumably /root/.fetchmailrc) to /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc), put fetchmail_enable=YES into /etc/rc.conf and issue /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail start. Btw.: Are you sure that you really need one system wide daemon? In my experience, a per-user daemon makes things a lot easier for the administrator since users can update their email configuration on their own. If you still have problems, please give me as much detail as you can. -- Best regards / Viele Grüße, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Simon Barner[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0XTI0x7lJo.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Firefox 1.5

Re: filtering HTML tags from email
Mike Hauber wrote: Mutt saves to a temp file then calls the following command: lynx -localhost -dump %s where '%s' is the temporary file you saved it to. You could also just pipe it to the following: lynx -localhost -dump -stdin the -localhost argument prevents lynx from simply following links external to your machine - helpful to avoid generating hits for unscrupulous spammers that get paid for hits on a URL. Just make sure lynx is installed. Lou Okay, so to be sure, there is no filter (as of yet) to simply open an email file, strip the HTML tags, and resave it? I'm not complaining, as this may actually be something I'm capable of creating myself. (I'll make this my first python project. :) ) I'm just making sure I'm not missing anything obvious before I start working on it. It's irritating to spend time on something only to find out that it's already been done. You probably could do it also with procmail + lynx (or w3m) during the delivery process. Another possibility is to have the following entries in your ~/.mailcap file, which converts html, doc and rtf to plain text. text/html; w3m -dump -T text/html; copiousoutput; application/msword; antiword %s; copiousoutput application/rtf; rtfreader %s; copiousoutput As for your python script: I don't think that just stripping everything matching the following expressions is correct because they might appear in non html emails, too: .* \/.* (perl syntax). At least, you'd need a list of valid html tags, i.e. a regular grammar for html: b | /b | i | /i | ... (BNF notation). While this is not too hard to implement (and possibly a good project to learn a new programming language), this would be too much work for something that can be achieved easier with existing tools (that is, for me, personally ;-) Simon pgpgUlVMmAaoT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Patching ports
Hi,
How do I add a patch to a certain port? Usually I would use the patch
program to add the patch to the source code. But when using ports the
system begins compiling right after rewtrieving the source. Thus not
giving me a change to apply the patch. I've seen a folder named files
in which patches part of the port seem to be located. But just adding
the patchfile here apperently wont do much good. I've tried using the
PATCHFILES variable in the Makefile but then the system complains the
my patchfile does not have a matching MD5 hash. Does anyone know how to
handle this issue?
You can use ``make patch'' to extract the port and apply existing
FreeBSD patches to it. Now you can create your own local patches
(relative to ${WRKDIR} which is
/usr/ports/category/portname/work/portname-version-mumble by
default), and put them into into the files subdirectory of your port.
Please note, that the FreeBSD port system will ignore patches that do
not start with the ``patch-'' prefix (you could use the EXTRA_PATCHES
macro to work around or exploit that fact) (``grep'' the ports
tree for examples)
You can find more information on how to work on the ports collection in
the porters handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
file:///usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
One last side remark:
If you think that your patches are useful for either the FreeBSD or the
whole open source community, it would be really nice if you sent them as
a problem report (send-pr(1), see the porter's handbook) or to the author
of the software.

The following instructions assume that you have the system sources in

# patch /path/to/fstab-vis.patch
Now either do a full buildworld cycle, or use the following commands
(untested):
# cd /usr/src/lib/libc
# make depend make make install clean
# cd /usr/src/share/man/man5
# make depend make make install clean
Now you can encode the spaces with the vis(1) utility:
vis -w

See also the updated fstab(5) man page.
If you try this patch, please tell me, whether it works for you, perhaps
someday I can get it committed.

This is what the so-called security branches are good for: Just CVSup your source tree, do a full buildworld cycle, and you should be fine. Valid security branches (for use in your supfile) are for example RELENG_4_9 or RELENG_5_2. If you prefer binary updates, there is a special port (security/freebsd-update), but it will only work on an unaltered installation (i.e. you did not do any buildworlds), and of course, you can run the freebsd-update port incrementally.

But my situation is pertty typical; I believe many people are like me to rely on ISP's authenticated smtp server. Must things be so complicated for those people like me, as said in that article? Isn't there a replacement of sendmail to do simple mail transfer by just asking a smtp server to do everything? Postfix + SASL + TSL/SSL. (There is a nice article on that combination on http://www.postfix.org) When I wrote the article, my goal was to use FreeBSD's base system for as many task as possible. That's why I chose sendmail over postfix. Simon pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
