Re: How to change all /bin/bash at /etc/passwd to /sbin/nologin?

However, it is not NFS and requries quite a bit more pocket money to setup as a SAN is required (unless you use iSCSI served off a spare box...). So building a reliable lock manager over multiple systems can be done.

Re: Cluster File System
Hi Christopher! GFS (Global File System) is for Red Hat Linux, but GPL, if you have the programming muscle to port it. http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/ But does MySQL support accessing one file storage from two separate servers? Even with GFS, applications must play along and do _proper_ filelocking without hanging on to exclusive locks unnecessarily. Also, if you really do need to go with a cluster file system, you probably easily have the pennies necessary for buying Red Hat and GFS subscriptions and do it that way, considering that proper shareable SAN storage is not (yet) available for a butterbread. The el-cheapo variant of SAN storage would be iSCSI. As for ftp; replication or NFS probably are the cheapest solutions.

Hello, Anybody ever tried to run one of the following usb-serial devices on a FreeBSD 5/6 box? Does it work out of the box, not work at all, work with some driver code adjustments?

Re: Free BSD and HP's Integrated Lights Out
As far as I know, basic iLO features are not OS dependent at all. But if you need a license, you're using advanced features; basic support is included with the server. Possibly you want to get to a graphic display? If you can do with access to a text terminal you should be fine. Switching to a text terminal via a SSH session to iLO can, for example, be done by assigning CTRL-ALT-F1 to say CTRL-T in iLO itself.

Re: apm device not configured ?!
Julian, Did you try to add the following line to your /boot/kernel.conf file? en apm and make sure the file ends with a q all by itself on a line. Unfortunately I have quite some issues with either apm or acpi on my Dell laptop as well when installing FBSD 5.2; it stops during boot when a battery is connected and ACPI not disabled. It crashes on resume and my 3Com PCMCIA ethernet card stops working sometimes, needing an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. Maybe the PC-card problem is not apm/ACPI related?

Re: Installing from ISO images
Sure, On a separate machine setup an ftp server, create a directories named 4.9-RELEASE and 5.2-RELEASE right where you will be placed when connecting with ftp. Then mount the iso image as follows (4.x syntax): vnconfig -e /dev/vn0 4.9-image.iso vnconfig -e /dev/vn1 5.2-image.iso mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/vn0 4.9-RELEASE mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/vn1 5.2-RELEASE Now you can boot from a floppy and select ftp for the installation.

ep driver problem in 5.2?
Today I installed FBSD 5.2 on my main notebook because I want to make the switch from 4.7. I have a 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN PC Card Model 3CCFE574BT. ep0: 3Com Megahertz 574B at port 0x100-0x11f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 Unknown ID: 0x201 ep0: Ethernet address 00:50:da:d3:6b:22 The default kernel is being used, no changes made. This card was working flawlessly all the time with FBSD 4.5/4.7, did autonegotiation perfectly, no problem at all, not even plugging the cable out on my 100 Mb switch and plugging it in on a 10 Mb hub or vice versa. With 5.2, however, the card works fine right right after ifconfig ep0 up, but: - it stops working if there has not been any traffic through the card for a while (have not yet been able to determine the exact time) - if there is traffic through the card all the time (eg pinging another host continuously) it does not stop working - broadcasts, arp requests and other packets going to all nodes on the network seem to do the trick as well as a constant ping - the autonegotiating switch, to which it is connected, still shows the card is there and in 100 MB full duplex mode - ifconfig ep0 down followed by ifconfig ep0 up brings the card back to life again - if connecting the card to a 10 MB hub, there are no problems, it continues to work properly, even if there is no traffic through it for some time Unfortunately the ep driver does not support setting the media, otherwise it might be possible to work around the problem. At the moment I'm at a loss, not knowing how to get this to work. Writing a startup script which does not return and pings another host on the network all the time is not quite the solution I'd be happy to implement...

Re: zmore for bzip2?
Adapting zmore for the case where you specify the files to display on
the command line is not problem at all:
diff kk zmore
5,14d4
get_decompressor ()
{
case `file ${1--} | sed s/[^:]*: *\([^ ]*\).*/\1/` in
compress*) DECOMPRESSOR=uncompress -c;;
gzip*) DECOMPRESSOR=gzip -cdfq;;
bzip2*)DECOMPRESSOR=bunzip2 -cdq;;
*) DECOMPRESSOR=cat;;
esac
}
56,57c46
get_decompressor ${FILE}
${DECOMPRESSOR} $FILE | eval ${PAGER-more}
---
gzip -cdfq $FILE | eval ${PAGER-more}
But when zmore is used as a pipe or with input redirection, things become
more complicated.
gzip -cdfq | eval ${PAGER-more}
In order to detect the type of data passed on STDIN, the get_decompressor
function or any other means of detection would consume STDIN. STDIN, however
must be passed to the decompressor after the type of data has been
detected. I don't have an idea hot to 'duplicate' STDIN, so it could be
consumed twice. Sure, writing it to a temporary file would be a
workaround:
38,53c28
FILE=/tmp/.zmore.${$}
touch ${FILE} 2/dev/null
if [ ${?} -ne 0 ]; then
echo can't create temporary file
exit 1
fi
chmod 0600 ${FILE}
cat ${FILE}
if [ ${?} -ne 0 ]; then
echo can't create temporary file
rm -f ${FILE}
exit 1
fi
get_decompressor ${FILE}
cat ${FILE} | ${DECOMPRESSOR} | eval ${PAGER-more}
rm -f ${FILE}
---
gzip -cdfq | eval ${PAGER-more}
But I don't like that. I myself sometimes work with compressed files
larger than anything I would be happy to write to /tmp or somewhere else
(even though those cases usually rather use zcat and its cousinds than
zmore...)

Yes, of course. But zmore is smart enough to figure out what to do with
several compression techniques, or even to handle non-compressed files
very trivially and without hassle.
'zmore' is a simple shell script which calls gzcat | ${PAGER-more}. One
solution to your problem, or at least a solution, would be to change zmore to
look for a trailing bz/bz2 or invoke bzcat instead. Another would be to change
the sources of gzip to recognize the bzip2 magic files bytes, extending the
detection of gzip versus classic LZH used by compress.

Re: fscking remotely
I have a couple of completely headless systems (some of them so far away it takes about 12 hours by direct flight). But I always make sure there are at the very least 2 systems at each location and they are together close enough to run serial cables between them.

PostScript UTF-8 fonts?
I do have a PostScript capable printer (Lexmark E310) and printing to it via lpr works fine. However, I do have the requirement to print Japanese. When the printer is being used from a Windows machine, this works fine. I guess the necessary fonts are being included in the print job itself. After lts of searching and trying etc. I finally also found a way to print from Mozilla on FreeBSD and get Japanese output. print from mozilla to postscript - run the postscript data through ghostscript to the pswrite device - send the output from ghostscript to the printer However, this only works when a webpage is encoded in Shift-JIS (possible EUC), if it is encoded in the UTF-8 charset, the Japanese characters again all print as squares, even though they are fine on the screen. I do have installed various CJK (ChineseJapaneseKorean 2-byte) fonts from the ports collection (FBSD v4.7). My guess is, that I need to get a complete UTF-8 font collection which includes the Japanese characters, installed for ghostscript. But I can not find anything. What can be found on the web lacks Japanese characters. - First of all, am I on the right way with installing fonts and pushing the whole stuff through ghostscript or was this solution working by mere luck and I should use a completely different approach? - If my approach is fine, where can a free complete UTF-8 font for ghostscript be found? - I'm also playing with the thought of buying a okidata C5300n color LED printer, which has PS level 3 support and quite a number of fonts installed by default (financing it is still a barrier, however). Does anybody have any experience with printing Japanese from FreeBSD on this printer (_NOT_ one bought in Japan, as the models sold in Japan usually do have a harddisk with the necessary fonts preinstalled)?

Re: shell script
Hello Brian,
First of all, your script will not run, you forgot a closing quote on
the third line from the end.
But not to your problem. I was pounding over a similar issue recently
and the solution I came up with was to replace the for loop with a while
loop combined with a read command.
not working:
for L in `cat inputfile`
do
echo the line read is: ${L}
done
works fine:
cat inputfile | while read L
do
echo the line read is: ${L}
done
Cheers,
Kurt
