This file can easily be fed into a batch-process command / script. It does *not* offer any other features, such as sharpening, crop, red-eye, color adjustment, etc. If you use the dcraw in ports, it does not do 'auto orient', so if your wife is shooting with this feature disabled on her camera the images _may_ appear sideways. I have an updated dcraw-m that reads the orientation information and rotates the preview image, but otherwise it works fine, it's perfectly usable without it. :) Also might check out this 'beenie' program that I use to automatically download cards onto the computer. Basically after a shoot I can stick in 4 SD cards at once and the software automatically creates folders with the date, and copies the contents and pre-processes the files. (I use it for video, I realized I was spending alot of time loading one card after another and copying the contents, etc).

I'm not sure if you've taken it too far, but I'm not entirely sure if you're getting any advantage over using rsync or similar for this kind of thing. First two things that spring to mind: Do you have any legacy stuff on the receiving machine? Things like physically removed old zpools, that are still in zpool.cache, seems to slow down various operations, including creation of new stuffs (such as the snapshots you receive). Also, you don't mention if you're deleting old snapshots on the receiving end? If you're doing an incremental run every 15 minutes, that's something like 3000 snapshots pr. month, pr. filesystem. Terje hi, i have a similar situation. its better to only rsync new stuff in this case, because you should know when somebody ads something new. for example, a user uploads 200 new images, these are marked 'to sync' and are transferred to the other servers. letting rsync figure out what's new just isnt practical. an idea, works for me. hope it helps.

Also provide web based convenience service. I am not convinced that a ssh tunnel is going to be easy for my users. We do provide a web based mail client, but I wouldn't describe it as convenient. I find it a pain in the neck, but so many users requested it that we provide it. It is password authenticated but so slow it will never be attacked with password guessing. One idea is to run a different server process on 25 which does not do SMTP AUTH,, then run SMTP AUTH on 465 or 587. I don't really see a reason to advertise SMTP AUTH on 25, for some reason all mail servers seem to do AUTH on all ports or none. Maybe there is a way to configure SMTP AUTH only on certain ports, one way I can think of is to run two processes with two configs. If some people are specifically attacking your service this may not be optimal, but if it's script kiddies scanning servers on port 25 this might discourage them. Another thought is to modify the SMTP server to allow one or two failed attempts then lock the account. IRL people set up their password into their email program and don't type it in all the time, or in the case of web mail they make their browser remember it. There isn't a good reason I can think of to allow 100 failed SMTP AUTH attempts. This concept would have to be tweaked a bit to balance customer service demand. You could also use the age of the account to determine the number of failed attempts, newer accounts might get 10 failed attempts, for example. Or you could disable SMTP auth altogether and make a little program that sets up a tunnel. Here's an ssh library that's BSD licensed http://www.libssh2.org/examples/tcpip-forward.html I think you can decide how much user intervention is needed for port forwarding. IT could be something like the user has to have the service installed on their machine, or it's a 'click for email' type thing. A little program that sets up the tunnel behind the scenes. It takes a day or two of front end programming but might be a good solution that works on unix/mac/linux/ms machines. You can have your SMTP AUTH service listening only on localhost. Handheld devices might become a challenge. It might be interesting to encrypt mail to the user's cloud service that operates in a gpg zone. I think this operation could be mostly transparent to the user, so kids and granpamas can use it without concern. This one I don't understand. Can you provide pointers to this type of service? Sorry I don't have any pointers, it was an idea last night. The concept is that users have 'cloud' accounts, email is encrypted to their account, perhaps (off the top of my head) in a fashion similar to the way friendica works.(it's not working with cloud systems, but it encrypts information to individual users, this could be analyzed for ideas for a cloud based system). This kind of solution might take a week of programming to set up, so it's more work on the front end. If you have some archival requirement or need to parse/key or otherwise analyze messages, in that scenario you would have to copy the message I think. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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 also don't have any such disc handy, but does FreeBSD still create the individual nodes for tracks (a la /dev/cd0t1, /cd0t2, . . .)? You may be able to dd(1) the track see if it has anything resembling text in it, or perhaps is mountable as an iso. -- -- ___ 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 Thanks for the reply. it does not appear to create the device nodes for each track, the manual says it does that for atapi devices. I did notice that cdda2wav created a txtinfo file resembling the data track, but it appears to be mostly unintelligible with bits of recognizeable english words mixed in, file cmd says its binary. I suppose I'll need to do some research and experimentation with the cdda2wav program to get at the meats.

Older D-Link dongles use RALINK chipsets, but it seems that newer ones use the BC chipsets and are not supported. You should be able to chose from a selection of RALINK based devices on ebay for around $10 US. If you want to connect to 'wireless n' I recommend finding a device with an Atheros chipset (however I do not believe there is presently a driver for Atheros based USB dongles, there is one in the OpenBSD source which could be ported.)

Hi,
But what happens when, like in my 'md5 file' tinkering example above,
there's one or more identical files along the path which may or may not
exist in both hierarchies? For example, the BSD License file. In my
previous message I purposely made a 'testdir' and copied a file into that
dir... they have the same hash.
Anyway I was thinking if I had proceeded with the tinker example, using
sys/tree.h and creating an associative array and using the relative path
and filename, along with the md5 hash, as the key. So the keys would be
like
[8d3986a5e8747ae89b3c5f82f22bc402 ./find.c]
[8d3986a5e8747ae89b3c5f82f22bc402 ./testdir/find.c]
then you'd have path A and path B to compare, which i think basically add 1
for A and 2 for B, so you'd know a 1 would be in A only, or 2 would
be in B only, and 3 would be in both A and B.
[e406e4422cf29f3b42484596524b71c1 ./find] = 1 //A only
[e3ea95347aa5efd7030103536c23a8d3 ./find.1.gz] = 3 //OK
[4b1fd4eb69577f53bd97d8cd2159c8eb ./md5find] = 3 //OK
[03d161fcb84fb38aad6ccd8ce0cafeaf ./testdir] = 2 //B only
But again I have to say that mtree already does this very well...
Here's an example of mtree for Gary to compare two paths, hopefully helpful.
set up two things to compare, A and B
# mkdir A B
# touch A/1 A/2 A/3 A/4
# find A
A
A/1

# rsync -av A B

I think I tried something like your second example last night.
I think I did

it was tiresome to check each of dozens of files tho. I was here

if there isn't anything that can compare entire dirs, it looks
like
it's time to hack a small program. tx, polyt.
Unix was originally created to do text manipulation. No need for a new
program when you can do it from the command line.
cd dir1 ; cksum * | sort /tmp/dir1-cksum
cd dir2 ; cksum * | sort /tmp/dir2-cksum
diff /tmp/dir?-cksum
Don't forget to remove temporary files when you are done.
Other useful commands:
cut
paste
You can use awk to pull out and rearrange columns:
cksum * | awk '{ print $3, $1, $2; }' | sort
This gives you a little easier diff in case you do have changes.
Friendly tip: if you did comparisons by hand for 12 hours then you
may have missed something.
no, it was several other tasks that I had t o do very carefully
by hand. I was going to write an awk script. I figured there
were others ways.
my desktop is a flavor of linux that i don't know. it seems to
be
lacking in many common unix binaries; md5 is one that I spent
an hour checking. zero.
your first way works very well and will serve. many thanks.
now I can listen to:
/Lectures on the Critique of Pure Reason
which is now safely in my home directory in several mp3 files.
It's a real shame Unix doesn't have a really good tool for comparing
two directory trees. You can use 'diff -r' (even on binaries), but that
fails if you have devices, named pipes, or named sockets in the
filesystem. And diff or cksum don't tell you if symlinks are different.
Plus you may care about file ownership, and that's where the stat
command comes in handy.
right. these are things you only discover the hard way.
Not that I'm volunteering, mind you. I ended up instead writing a
Python script to do copies of filesystems off of old machines I'm
putting to pasture. It's amazing how badly old versions of dump and
tar behave.
REmember CP/M and MP/M? I started out with a dual 8085/80888 box
with MP/Mand wrote notes and letters that were stored on 8
twin floppies. circa mid-1980's I transferred a boatload of
floppies
onto my 386 with SVR2 with uucp and others C programs on the 8088
box.
it took forever and things keep faulting, but I got it done.
eventually.
oh yeah, I remember the Kaypro «portable» which was as big as a sampsonite,
and despite being built like a tank probably couldn't handle a wrangling by

One that I was playing around with *failed* and I'm trying to figure out why. - How can I uise my FBSD floppy drive to copy files to it (in this case, at work), and retrieve the files on my FBSD systtem at home. So far I've only seen examples that used floppies with a filesystem on them. Is there a simplr, more direct way? You can treat the 'raw' floppy device as if it is a tape drive, and use typically UNIX tape tools to read/write, such as tar and cpio. For instance, to copy the current directory onto a floppy to take home at night: (put the floppy in the drive, and cd to the directory where the files are; then ) % tar -cvf /dev/rfd0 . To read it when you get home: (put the floppy in the drive at home; and extract the tarball wherever you want the files) % tar -xvf /dev/rfd0 The flags -c and -x indicate create and extract mode, the ``v'' specifies verbose mode, and the ``f'' tells tar that the following argument is the file or device that tar acts upon. Here, it is the floppy devide. With cpio: (chdir to the directory where the files are) % ls | cpio -oc /dev/rfd0 To read a cpio archive from a tape drive: % cpio -icd /dev/rfd0 The flags -i and -o indicate copy-in or extract mode and copy-out or create archive mode. The ``c'' tells cpio to use the old, portablr ASCII archive format. And the ``d'' flag tells cpio to create directories where necessary. Do a % man cpio for much greater detail on this utility. - There are another one or two of the simpler Q/A's and one or two more involved.

Also, modifying things a few layers down the filesystem hierarchy won't have any effect either. Generally I find the best test for differences between old and new copies of a filesystem is 'rsync -avx -n ...'

where, Sir, is the header?!
which header?
this example I just copied /usr/src/usr.bin/find/ (entire directory
contents) to my home directory then added.
#include md5.h to the top of function.c (with the other includes, order
/may/ matter.. i did after the sys/ includes but before the others)
md5.h is in /usr/include, it's basically a wrapper around
/usr/include/sys/md5.h
then changed the function int f_print, added two lines
char * md5sum[32];
(void)printf(%s ,MD5File(entry-fts_accpath,md5sum));
then changed the two lines in Makefile, PROGNAME so i don't end up with
'find' executable and the other is -lmd so i get the library with md5
routines.
I think maybe I wasn't clear that i was editing function.c, and that there
is more to function.c than my example code.
I can put the source on git if you want, but it's pretty basic. Also i'd
have to research the second parameter in MD5File function, i don't actually
think that's what i thought it was. it is returning the correct hash, and
printing it out, as returned from the function.

sounds reasonable. if you have this compiler on fedsora, I'd like
to
see it for myself. I think I have gcc* installed.
so, whenever you have time... .
I'm not sure it's a good use of time (?) considering, as someone mentioned
previously, mtree is already working. In the case of doing the find/md5
tinkering project on Fedora or other GNU/Linux distributions, it would
likely IMHO be best to use non-BSD, ie Liinux 'find' and 'md5' sources.
I do think mtree (already mentioned) is the best way to go You dump the
checksum, etc into a file and use the file to verify the other path.
example:
$ mtree -K sha256digest,uname,gname -c -p . structure.mtree
$ cat structure.mtree

Please do not think i'm trying to be rude or get rid of new member, but sometimes one needs to know the better way to find necessary information. 3) PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD since this deep knowledge of it basically (i suppose) should begin with FreeBSD's Handbook which carefully explains what ports are and how to use them. This page is a good start (it's in Russian ;) ) -http://www.freebsd.org/doc/ru_RU.KOI8-R/books/handbook/ .

I have not played around on it a whole bunch, so I'm definitely not an expert. They really did a good job with it, PC-BSD has a more compelling visual experience. For a novice computer user it's a great way to have the experience of true Unix without ending up resorting to angry language on the mailing lists. For more experienced users it seems like it would be a robust platform for such as scientific research, medical systems developers, manufacturing control, process coordination and shop floor machine operation. On my Eee Pc Netbook I had some difficulty with the X configuration tool, which must be run in order to launch the desktop. I chose to install the Xfce desktop suite of the several choices available in the selection. The prompt display was pristine, yet the X test suffered some malfunction no matter which setting I tried. When I was able to launch the desktop, the display was off kilter and extremely difficult to navigate. This obstacle was overcome by manually updating the X configuration file. There are numerous resources available online for troubleshooting these kinds of problems. The system seems to be solid, so I'd be surprised if it offers the thrill of compiling your own operating system. But there are compiling tools available so one could presumably pull the source and do a build. Building a PBI package does indeed seem to be much more involved than making a package. A package build is straightforward and takes little effort to create a Makefile in the case that your intended software does not happen to already be in the ports collection. Also, the package system offers a way to easily synchronize software updates across many machines. After a package is built and verified on one machine it can be rapidly transferred to machines in a large global cluster. I found the idea intriguing

I've noticed occasionally it will take 75 seconds or so for a USB 3.0 drive to 'connect'.. at first I thought the drive was not being 'recognized'. Someone has posted here that they believe it could be b/c a USB 3.0 uses 2x the power of 2.0 (i've not confirmed that) and it could be due to some kind of power management on the computer.. I've not yet taken the time to sort that out. anyhow this issue initially led me to believe there was some problem with the driver, but it seems likely not the case.

After that, I tried to operate on the stick on a Notebook, FreeBSD 9, and another station, FreeBSD 10. But FreeBSD didn't recognize the USB drive anymore - sometimes, but this seems to be a gambling issue :-( Trying Linux on different hardware platforms and even those machines prior not recognizing the USB drive do recognize the drive as Lexar USB Flash drive with 64GB.

So, since the USB drive won't work with three different FreeBSD boxes (one running 9-STABLE, two 10-CURRENT, all systems most recent sources and buildworld from a day ago).

If I use either of these ports with a USB 2.0 device while running the ports in USB 3.0 mode (using xhci(4)), I can't reliably get a device to properly attach. I say reliably, because every once in a while, I can plug a device in and it works fine, even multiple times and after reboots. If I configure these ports to run in USB 2.0 mode (using ehci(4)), all of my USB 2.0 devices seem to work without fail. However, USB 3.0 devices do not attach on these ports when they are configured as USB 2.0 ports. So, at least on my notebook, these ports must be configured at either 2.0 or 3.0, depending on which device I plan on using :( I have one other port on this same system that is USB 2.0-only, and it works all of the time :) I'll have to try and add a hub into the mix to see if perhaps it is a power issue (although with a recent Linux kernel and Windows 7, all is well no matter what configuration I provide). It may be that FreeBSD's USB subsystem lacks some extra bit of code required to configure the ports properly in regard to power. -Brandon ___ 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 There are 3 drivers, one for 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0, and they are associated to corresponding devices at boot.

Re: New to FreeBSD - Some questions
to rebuild all installed ports which doesn't include base, I assume? make world is always wrong. make buildworld is closer. In source land world is everything but the kernel. Ports are not related. q) The files in /etc/rc.d are all executable, from my understanding, those files will get executed and it is their duty to check the variable `rc-script-name_enable' for whether they should start or not. Wouldn't it be more efficient to chmod -x or +x them to disable/enable? For a variety of reasons, no. They do more than just check *_enable in complex cases. q) Is there a tool that can test a set of mirrors for connection time and speed (for packages and ports)? Analogous to Archlinux's rankmirrors? looks in ports-mgmt/ there is fastestmirrors or something like that. I ran it once and forgot about it ;) q) Is it possible for the pkg_* tools (especially pkg_add -r) to display progress? no. q) I noticed in the ports collection that there were some outdated packages (skype-2.2, gimp-2.6), should I report that and where? (A PR?) skype is out of date cause the newer ones don't work. Generally, reporting out of date ports as PRs with patches (or to po...@freebsd.org without patches might help) is a good thing. Larger ports tend to be actively maintained. For gimp try asking gn...@freebsd.org for progress. q) Is it possible to have the ports system compile into an mfs (to avoid disk access)? Yes.

I am quite new to FreeBSD (though fairly experienced at Linux). Almost everything in FreeBSD is fine, except that no matter what I try I cannot get the (USB) mouse to work. I have scoured the handbook, and Googled, but to no avail. This is 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 - fully updated. I don't need the mouse in consoles, but I do want it in X. The clue here is 'fully updated'. The latest hald has a bug that keeps the mouse from working. If you look in your X.org.0.log you may find a section which says that /dev/ums, configured by hal, is busy, and unloads the mouse. If you don't find that, then ignore the rest of this email :) There are various solutions to this, one is to disable the auto configure, and add the configuration for both keyboard and mouse to the .conf file. Another is to restart dbus and hald. You can switch to a console window from X and run this command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart If that fixes it, then you can automate it by putting something like this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d , call it haldfixbug or something like that: -- #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: HALD_FIX_BUG # REQUIRE: hald dbus # [ $1 = start ] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart echo DBUS HALD BUG FIX ATTEMPTED [ $1 = faststart ] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart echo DBUS HALD BUG FIX ATTEMPTED sleep 5 exit 0 - This might not work if you use startx, but should be ok with xdm or gdm.

Updating packages
I have tried the available package update methods. It occurred to me to experiment with a different way. I am working on a package update script in Python as an alternate way to update installed packages with latest available on the FreeBSD web site. It parses the index page of the web site and compares the versions of installed packages. If their is a difference it downloads the package tbz file and performs an MD5 checksum, then writes the corresponding pkg_delete and pkg_add for the package into a file which can be edited and executed from the command line. It does not automatically update the packages, for example in some cases the script reports that an older version of Perl is a suitable replacement for the latest version. Also on my system there are like seventeen versions of doc_book package so it writes the pkg_delete for each installed version and pkg_add for the latest version. (in which case we would not really want to install it seventeen times). Does anyone have recollection of a negative experience using 'pkg_delete --force' to the old version and 'pkg_add' the replacement? Would you say it's generally a bad idea to first delete the package before adding the updated package, and instead recommend to install the updated package on top of the existing installation?

Hi, I think I finally got to the bottom of my instant rebooting issue. I did a csup and rebuilt world/kernel, but doing a pkg_add or running xfce4 would still reboot the machine. This morning I scoured my logs and found one message that lead me to solution: bad dir ino AT OFFSET xxx: MANGLED ENTRY. It looks like on my machine that /var/tmp got wrecked, the fsck on boot wasn't catching it. I booted into single user mode and ran fsck -y a few times, the second time it skipped the journal to do a 'regular fsck' (maybe there is a switch to force it to skip the journal anyway?). w/o Journal it picked up the inode problems and fixed.. then mounted drive rw and deleted stuff in /var/tmp pkg_add works fine now, i haven't tried xfce4 yet but i bet it's going to work.

Re: umount device busy
On Sun, Jun 3, 2012 at 7:59 AM, Gary Aitken free...@dreamchaser.org wrote: Something I'm overlooking here and a lot of questions I can't seem to find the answers to... I mounted a usb drive mount -t ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/goflex Then, as nearly as I can remember... I then poked around a bit using the xfce4 browser. I tried to mkdir from the mount point as a normal user: cd /mnt/goflex %mkdir breakaway mkdir: .: No such file or directory After checking write premissions, which I didn't have, I did an su -l and tried again, with the same results. I then tried to unmount the drive, believing it was mounted read-only: #umount /mnt/goflex umount: unmount of /mnt/goflex failed: Device busy As nearly as I can tell, I don't have anything pointing at that drive. Questions: 1. What does the No such file or directory mean from mkdir? It's a relative dir name, and I'm sitting at a valid dir. 2. How do I find out how the file-system was mounted? mount (noargs) does not show read/write status 3. I tried lsof but I don't get any output from it: lsof +d /mnt/goflex -x -- /mnt/goflex Where does it go if not to stdout? 4. lsof has a *long* man page, so I'd like to save it temporarily so I can search it in an editor. If I do man lsof temp.tmp the output contains backspace sequences which screw up searching. How do I get man to produce plain text without the control sequences? 5. The lsof man page references a faq which is supposed to be part of the distribution. find . -ls | grep lsof doesn't show any faq. 6. And finally, any idea why umount says the device is busy? Seems like I should have been able to find the answer to at least one of those but I'm coming up short.

Re: Question regarding SPF records
On Feb 18, 2012 8:53 AM, Jonathan Vomacka juvi...@gmail.com wrote: I am inquiring about how to setup a proper SPF record. I know there are SPF wizards/generators available but each seem to have a different opinion of what should be included and what should not be included. Let me give you a scenario of my setup, and hopefully someone can help me out. My domain is: test.com My mailserver hostname is: mail.host.com which also has a MATCHING PTR record mail.host.com (for example) resolves to 50.1.1.1 and 50.1.1.1 resolves to mail.host.com This is a STANDALONE mail server which will receive and send email without any VIP's or load balancing. There is however one additional host that will send out mail from the domain but it wont be receiving mail, it will only be used as an SMTP (outbound only) server attached to a website automailer which is on a seperate webserver... It only generates error reports and sends them out... so technically it isn't a full mail server but it will be sending (outbound only) mail on behalf of the domain. The additional host is: mail2.test.com which resolves to 50.2.2.2 and there is a Matching PTR. These are the ONLY mail servers and IP addresses that will be sending out mail from the test.com domain. Some websites say I should use -all and others say -all will cause some MTA's to reject and ~all is better to use even if those are the only two hosts sending out mail.
