I know plenty of "dumber than dirt" *.nix users too. Stupidity is not
limited to race, color, sex or operating system. Actually, they are
smart enough to get themselves an OS that actually works with virtually
all modern hardware and without having to spend countless [hours | days
| weeks] attempting to getting such hardware up and running before
eventually giving up in some cases. You might have heard about "N"
protocol wireless devices that until fairly recently FreeBSD didn't even
know existed. Even now the support is limited; however, that is another
story.

In any case, that is not the subject of this this reply. I have found
"HDDerase.exe" <http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml>
to be a useful and in the most important criteria to the FOSS crowd,
free.

Seriously though, isn't it about time to close this thread?

And exactly what alternatives _do_ you see for someone who DOES NOT HAVE
THE SKILLS, TOOLS, OR RESOURCES, to 'do it themselves'?

That's a serious question, not an attack.

If someone wants it done, but doesn't have the knowledge/tools/etc. to
do it themselves, it appears to me that they have precisely two realistic
alternatives:
   1) Trust "somebody" to do it, and do it right,
or
   2) simpl DON'T do it.

Putting together what is required to "do it yourself" _is_ out of the
question for _most_ Windows users.   They don't know _what_ they need to
know/learn/have to do the task. Heck they don't know how to find out *what*
they need to find out, to learn what is needed to do the task.

Yes, in theory, they _could_ learn everything they need to know to do it
themselves, but the list of things that a 'know nothing' Windows user has
to dig out, understand, and _use_, is incredibly long and daunting.

As I look, yes, PC-BSD does have such a thing, and it has a "network
browser" built into it, too.  It almost looks like it is designed to use
Samba even between BSD machines; does this make sense?

It is attractive, but I don't see any way to configure exported filesystems
other than going back to NFS, which is all right, but I'm trying to
understand what this other option might mean to me.

As you may know, PC-BSD has a system they call PBI (Push Button
Installation) to install pre-built packages via a "software manager" app on
the system.  Needless to say, it does not offer all 23K+ ports.  There is a
.PBI version of Samba; I wonder if it has Avahi enabled by default.

Thanks.  I am now happily running 9.0-PRERELEASE (!) and finally past
all those weird bsdinstall issues.  What a mess!  Thanks for all the
replies and help.  I didn't use anything other than what I view as the
"standard" (t/m) way to upgrade: csup-of-stable/buildworld/installworld
which method has always worked in the past for me, but had trouble in
the attempt to upgrade to a 9.x variant before it was ready for prime
time.  I would not normally have done this, but there were extenuating
circumstances that required the attempt.  Thanks again.  :-)

Regards,

If you still have trouble compiling, you could always do a fresh
install off one of the 9.0-RC2 images on a spare machine (or on
virtual machine; VirtualBox works well for this), and build the
sources there.  Once the make build{world,kernel} steps complete, copy
(or export over NFS) /usr/{src,obj} to the machine to be upgraded, and
do the usual make install{kernel,world} (and mergemaster) steps.

I just did this just yesterday to bring a test box up from stable/8 to
stable/9; worked like a charm.  YMMV.

Apparently freebsd-update(8) works for binary updates as well, but
I've never used it (check the release announcement on freebsd-current
or freebsd-stable from the 17th).

Good luck! ^_^'

Actually, "security through obscurity" is always bad.  The fact, however,
is that something that could be used for security through obscurity is
not automatically always a security through obscurity measure.  Are you
using a nonstandard port assignment for security, or just to make your
logs cleaner?  If you realize that moving SSH to a nonstandard port will
not in any way protect you from a targeted attack, and only do so to
clean up logs and reduce local SSH daemon activity from pointless
low-hanging fruit attacks, while using other (better) techniques to
actually properly secure the box, you aren't using employing a security
through obscurity plan at all.

"Security through obscurity" isn't the technique; it's the purpose to
which a technique is directed.  If what you're doing isn't intended as a
security measure, it's "something other than security through obscurity",
and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it.

If you have no specific need to keep SSH on 22, definitely move a
public-facing SSH server to a nonstandard port, for reasons unrelated to
actual intrusion security.

Security through obscurity is only really a bad thing if it's your ONLY
security. It doesn't hurt to make things harder for someone in addition
to your other measures (strong passwords, large keys, limited network
ranges etc)

You can do a lot of nice stuff just parsing the cvsweb. For example,
here's a very basic script for showing supported branches:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;

print "Supported branches of FreeBSD:\n\n";

my @content = split /\n/, 
get("http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/www/en/security/security.sgml";);
die "Couldn't get url!" unless @content;

my $line = shift @content;
do { $line = shift @content; } until ($line =~ /name="supported-branches"/);
do { $line = shift @content; } until ($line =~ /table class="tblbasic"/);

A simple solution would be for there to ALWAYS be a patch release on the
last day of support for a branch, that creates /etc/NOT-SUPPORTED or
similar. Then it's just a matter of adding an /etc/cron.daily job to
report on that, as long as you are following updates (and if you aren't
you don't care about this issue).

I can't think of any other OS that does this, either - they generally
just report that there are no available updates.

You can add to the tasks that the "xyz system Daily Run" report uses to
produce it's report.

Check out periodic(1) and /etc/periodic.conf - the scripts that it uses
live in /etc/periodic and /usr/local/etc/periodic

Hehe. Not really - for work it's CentOS. I decided to try Debian for

2011-05-12 Thread gs_stol...@juno.com
I had to do this same thing over 10 years ago, once at work and once at home.  
At home, I copies  ksh  and gave it root privileges so it could do the  suid .  
At work, a root person lent me the use of a binary program (with root 
privileges) that I used to execute  ksh  (I believe).  My memory of this is 
hazy, so I don't recall if that was a standard program there or it was a 
special one that he created.

nvidia-driver-173 doesn't work on amd64. If that's your issue then you
may be better-off with the i386 version of FreeBSD.

FreeBSD 8.x added the kernel features require by nvidia before they
would implement a 64-bit version, but nvidia-driver-173 was already a
legacy driver at that point.

Sorry.  I should have mentioned that I'm using a GeForce FX 5200 card.
 Because of it's "age", NVIDIA says that it need the the
"nvidia-driver-173...", but NVIDIA also says they do not have a
version that works for FreeBSD 8.x.  I was hoping someone in the
FreeBSD community might have ported it.  Unfortunately, I'm no video

2010-12-12 Thread Mark Terribile

Okay, per private correspondence, here's one that works for the rule (insert 
your
own upper limit):

(( s = -3, d = -1 )) ; while (( i = ( s += 2 + ( d = -d ) ),  i <= 12 )) ; do
    echo "Welcome $i times"
done

Yeah, this needs an explanation in the comments, and it might be tricky to
extend to other sequences.  But I think I could do it for most reasonable ones.

What's wrong with



for i in 0 1 4 5 8 9 ; do echo "Welcome $i times"; done



  ?



Or is there some rule that you want followed?  If there is, it's not

obvious to me.  (Sorry.)

How about a direct approach:

i=0;j=1
while true;do
  echo Welcome $i times
  i=`expr $i + $j`;if [ $j -eq 1 ];then;j=3;else;j=1;fi
done

Might want to pipe that to more or less.

Back in the CP/M and early MS-DOS days, similar doubts were raised
regarding display systems.

Fortunately, those doubts did not stop some developers from doing
what others thought impossible.  The results included X11, which
has been rather durable for a considerable time.

I wouldn't mind someone with more apache22-fu to elaborate, correcting the

My thoughts are this matters depending upon which mpm you choose to build 
into apache. The default is prefork, and it handles incoming requests by 
spawning child processes. The main shortcomi

I've received a response like that "awaiting moderator approval" when
I've inadvertently sent a message to a list from other than my
subscribed address. I don't recall ever seeing such a response from a
non-subscription list (like -questions).

Ok, well that message forged as if from you was also delightfully cc'd 
to postmas...@freebsd.org, so David has at least one direct copy to work 
with and should be able to block the source, as far as them reaching the 
freebsd list/s anyway.

Other participants may still have to deal with off-list copies, possibly 
forged as coming from:

Received: from dusk.parklogic.com (allmail.0b2.net [64.38.11.26])

Thanks to all, but let's not discuss this further on freebsd-questions?

Indeed. That's because noone had forwarded copies with complete headers

fraction of the freebsd lists (let alone -questions :)

I was really hoping not to start a bikeshed discussion :(  This is a 
spam / mail abuse issue, not one about content, and yes it's off-topic 
but needs dealing with.

This list is not moderated and is open to posting by non-subscribers; 
it's been that way for a very long time, and arguing for moderation 
won't change anything - who would have the time, anyway?  Some other 
freebsd lists are only open to posting by subscribers.

 > But, then I try to post something and I get a "you posting is awaiting
 > moderator approval".

There are some automatic checks; you can get that by cross-posting to 
too many lists (more than two or three IIRC); sending to too many 
recipients; posting to a list requiring subscription, maybe others.

Some list subscribers sometimes (try to) help by mailing people off-list 
about perceived off-topicness etc.  There's nobody here but us chickens.

The postmaster (and assistants), on the other hand, is/are the only ones 
who can do anything about blocking spammers and other abusers posting 
to freebsd lists, and that's generally best all dealt with off-list.

postmaster@ removed from ccs; this won't help him locate the problem.

cheers, Ian  (over and out on this topic)

Can some explain to me or know what criteria is used to determine 
when a posting to the lists need moderation?
I have read post in the past that say the list is not moderated or 
comments such as above.


But, then I try to post something and I get a "you posting is 
awaiting moderator approval". Then I get a email that
my posting was rejected with comments that state "I don't see what 
this has to do with FreeBSD". But, then we have
these junk mail and forged mail issues, not to mention I see replies 
that go way off topic of FreeBSD.

and it works excellently. In any case, I do have to familiarize myself
more fully with IP addressing.

CIDR ranges have to: (a) start on a 'power of 2' address, (b) be a 'power of 
two'
in size, and (c) be no larger than the 'power of 2' factor for the starting 
address.  This range is _not_ that way [fails (b)], so you'll have to do it with
multiple entries.

i.e., one for "219.128.0.0/13" which will catch 219.128.0.0 - 219.135.255.255
and a 2nd for "219.136.0.0/15" which will catch 219.136.0.0 - 219.137.255.255

Life can get messier, when rule 3 comes into play,  consider the block
219.130.0.0 to 219.139.255.255

219.130.0.0 is on a /15 boundary, so that's the max block size you can use
for tht starting address.
   219.130.0.0/15   catches 219.130.0.0 - 219.131.255.255
next, you can start with 219.132.0.0, which is a /14, and block a /14 wth
   219.132.0.0/14   catches 219.132.0.0 - 219.135.255.255
now, 219.136.0.0 is a /13  so you could block that big with just more rule,
if needed, (BUT, you only need another /14, to cover the remainder of the 
group of 10 /16s that the initial block includes.  thus, lastly:
   219.136.0.0/14   catches 219.136.0.0 - 219.139.255.255

This should help you get the syntax right.

Well, looking at the headers, it spent about 11 hours sitting at ms4-1.1blu.de.
Once it was accepted at freebsd.org, it went out to the list in about 2 minutes.

for ;
Thu, 7 Jan 2010 16:54:51 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from g...@unixarea.de)

Now, not knowing what the configuration of ms4-1.1blu.de is like,
I can only speculate that it tried to deliver to mx1.freebsd.org and, for
whatever reason, failed at the initial attempt.  [It's not greylisting by
the FreeBSD mailservers, because they don't use it.]  We can't see from this
trace how many times ms4-1.1blu.de retried sending the message during that
time -- typically it should try again after 15 or 30min and then keep trying
again at that sort of interval or longer for up to 5 days.  As they are using 
Exim, it's quite likely the message ended up in a stuck-message queue which 
would still keep retrying delivery, but at a much lower frequency.

Without looking at the mail logs on mx1.freebsd.org we can't know why the
message wasn't accepted.  We can tell that it was temp-failed -- ie. you
didn't get a bounce back with a permanent failure message.  There are several
mechanisms used with e-mail that might generate this sort of temp-fail response
(SPF, DKIM -- but there are no indications freebsd.org uses these in the
message headers) or else the problem might well have been a failure in the DNS
-- if mx1.freebsd.org couldn't look up ms4-1.1blu.de or sisis.de then it 
wouldn't accept the message.  This last scenario seems the most likely to me, 
especially since you say you've recently changed e-mail service provider.

Matthew

I too have a similar problem with my emails. They take about 30-45
minutes to be posted to the list. According to Thunderbird the mail is
sent (at least to my mail server @ Bluehost), and the time-stamp on the

Any delivery block to freebsd-questions list?

2010-01-07 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,
 
I have sent some hours ago a mail to freebsd-questions
which went out fine to the MX of my ISP (as I can see in
/var/log/maillog) but does not show up in the list and not
in the Archives. The Subject: was about sendmail and SMTP AUTH. 

I have changed the ISP today morning for outbound mail and it
may happen that this could be the cause, even if mails to
other recipients are working fine... 

Is there some kind of anti-SPAM protection for freebsd-questions
based on the IP of the SMTP origin? To whom I could contact?
 
Thanks in advance

2009-12-26 Thread Manish Jain


Hello,

I am looking a convenient way using C to retrieve the current CPU and 
memory utilization of a process of which I have the pid. Can somebody 
please give me a hint of which system-calls/library-functions to use for 
this ? I don't want to use the system() function or grep for information 
via the /proc filesystem.


I would be grateful if you could also please mention whether the 
suggested method[s] is/are FreeBSD-specific or would be portable to 
other environments like Solaris/Linux ?



Thanks for any help.

Subject: setlocale command is missing
To: 
Message-ID: <9ffca7e178c44c10994e4c52ac40e...@tocnet28.jspoj.czf>
Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="utf-8"

Hi,
 
I updated a mc port to the last one, version 4.7.0pre4 and wanted to run mc, but mc display a warning message that the selected display charset or source codeset does not match one set via locale. I have never seen this message since I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in this new version. The version 4.6.2 does not show you this message durring starting application.
 
I wanted to set my locale, but I found out that command setlocale is missing on FreeBSD 7.2.
 
Files in directory /etc:
 
login.conf, login.conf.db, csh.login and profile are set as HANDBOOK recommends for language localization.
 
My shells are bash, tcsh or zsh, csh for root user. The results are the same.
 
bash:

[u...@server ~]$ LC_ALL=ISO-8859-2; export LC_ALL
-bash: varování: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ISO-8859-2): No 
such file or directory
 
zsh:

server% setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
zsh: command not found: setlocale

tcsh:
  

setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2


setlocale: Command not found.

root csh:
server# setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
setlocale: Command not found.

So my simple question is why is setlocale command missing in FreeBSD 7.2 ? And 
if user could not use locale and setlocale commands like on Linux, how can I 
solve my problem with new version of MC ?
 
The mc message:
 
Confirmation
 
Chosen display charset (Settings->Display bits) or source codeset (in mcedit ctrl-t) does not match one set via locale. Set correct codeset manually or press <> to set locale default.
 
Or set 'don' task again' and press <>
 
[ ] don't ask again
 
[< Fix it >]   [ Skip ]
 
BTW in mc there is not any settings with display bits, there is only options menu with display bits. Wrong help dialogs ?
 
Thank you
 
Daniel

The model I have is the SS-4200EHW. Identical, save the lack of a DOM

This is actually how I got the amd64 build to recognize the port. These

Hm. This might be something to look into.

I checked previously, and Linux has the same limitations. The port is
recognized as a legacy ISA IDE port by the ide-generic driver, and maxes
out at a ludicrously low throughput. The official firmware gets around
this by preloading filesystems into RAM.

Ouch!

I thought the laptop I was "fixing" last week was bad: running Vista with a 
10MB/s transfer rate :P

The drive in my Pentium 166 gets 11-12MB/s.

I actually looked up both the PIO modes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_input/output

And the spec sheet (assuming Tom's hardware was wrong) before composing my 
original reply:
Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E
Technical product specification [PDF]
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/ss4200-e/sb/ss4200e_tps_11.pdf

I noted that the ATA port is not listed as a feature, which is not a good sign. 
It does appear in the block-diagram labeled:DOM
Glossary definition: Disk On Module

If I had to guess: Intel did something "weird" or "non-standard" to the port, 
so the standard BSD driver does not work properly.
Have you read the ata(4) manual page?
The following  /boot/device.hints are suggested for ISA:
hint.ata.0.at="isa"
hint.ata.0.port="0x1f0"
hint.ata.0.irq="14"
. . . port '1' probably not needed
I had a thought: it could just as easily be "pc98" if they don't intend for you 
to touch the "firmware."


The firmware has source code available under a GPL license.
EMCLifeLineOEMSW-1.0-GPLComponents.tar.gz
Ver:1.0 Date:9/24/2009  Size:125585 (KB)

EMCLifeLineOEMSW-1.1-GPLComponents.tar.gz
Ver:1.1 Date:9/24/2009  Size:244406 (KB)

If you are worried about license contamination, you may have to get somebody to 
look through that and document any changes (to the ATA interface). Hopefully it 
is based on a well-know code-base like Linux and the "diff" utility can be used.

Of course, the term "components" implies they only expose a HAL of some kind.

You are off by an order of magnitude (base 2 or 10):
Pio mode 0 is ~3.3 MB/s
Pio mode 4 is ~16.7 MB/s

http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/modesPIO-c.html

You can probably set PIO mode 4 for with:
# atacontrol mode ad0 PIO4

I am currently using ~ 159MB on my root partition,

At 16.7MB/s that is a 10 second load time; and as you said, frequently used 
files will be cached. (I have a CF card that has 15MB/s symmetric read/write. 
Don't know how special it is.)

With a CF card there should be no seek delay of ~ 10 ms (for reads anyway, 
deleting blocks probably takes 10ms).

Regards,

James Phillips

[FreeBSD Questions] Filesystem image as root

2009-11-14 Thread CyberLeo Kitsana
I have been thinking and experimenting for weeks, but I cannot figure
this out.

I have an Intel SS4200 NAS that I wish to use as a ZFS NAS with FreeBSD 8.0.

The device has 4 SATA bays, and I don't want to use one for a UFS root disk.

I don't want to use up hundreds of megabytes of RAM preloading an
mfsroot that can never shrink.

The single IDE connector is accessible via the legacy ISA ports, and is
thus limited to PIO modes (about 1.6MB/sec max, even with an actual hard
drive instead of a CF card).

Performance is acceptable when using a geom_uzip image from a CF card on
the IDE connector, as a lot of it ends up cached in RAM (and is
evictable in case of memory pressure, unlike an mfsroot).

Try as I might, I am unable to figure out how to use a uzip imagefile on
UFS as a root filesystem, without dedicating a slice/partition to it.
There seems to be nothing approximating GNU/Linux's pivot_root, and
using a stub init (which cannot be a shellscript...?) to mdconfig and
mount the image, then chroot to that to exec /sbin/init appears to lead
to instant deadlock.

I don't really like the idea of mounting the image somewhere below root,
and using symlink spaghetti to get everything proper; especially since I
wish to place such essentials as /sbin and /etc thereupon, which leads
to a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem with setting up and mounting an
image that contains its mdconfig and mount...

Am I missing something obvious here, or am I truly treading unexplored
territory?

The important question is: known by whom?
Every reviewer brings their own bias and experience. The code has not been 
"proven correct," so there is not reason to assume that a Black-hat will find 
the same bug/exploit. If there are more than about 3 unknown exploits, they are 
more likely to find a different one.

IMO, Mozilla is a bad example. I've been bitten by (non-security) bugs going 
back to 1.5 or earlier. Disclosure: I still prefer Lynx.

I'm planning on doing something like this once I get 2 more 1TB
drives.  I'm going to try out a zfs RAID-Z not RAID-Z2, but yeah.
I've been around openSolaris' docs on zfs & it seems to be really
robust, you can export it on one OS and import it on another (incase
your root dies, or you want to migrate your disks to another box), you
can take "snapshots" which are stored on the drive, but I'm sure you
could send those files somewhere to be backed up.  And if you have
really important files you can create multiple copies of them
automatically with ZFS.  If you set it up with multiple vdevs, you can
get a lot more speed out of disk I/O as well, because if you have like
2 raidz vdevs, it stripes them, so you can pull data faster from both.
 I can't remember if it was on this or another list, but there was a
great discussion about the performance abilities/issues of zfs & they
had some good points like not using more than 8 drives per vdev &
such.

Try it out both ways and see which is best.  there are pro's & con's
to both, but it all depends on what you need for your solution. &
remember raid is not a form of back-up.  so if this is for critical
information, make sure you back-up as well.

Cheers,
Bucky

modules that are required in the kernel: smb, smbus, intpm, ichsmb 


I used a TUSL2 board for a while for one of my servers and mbmon 
worked fine with it.  I did have to compile mbmon without SMB support 
though (just look inside the Makefile for the right thing to define 
to prevent smb support).  Then when you do a 'mbmon -d' it will tell 
you what it finds.   I never even tried adding smb support to the 
kernel until after I upgraded both the motherboard and BSD to 7.1 and 
was curious to see what it might give me.

Holy cahones de la... *skipping few languages* ...rear of Vyagrimukha

do not have ISA or I2C, so SMB seemed like the only way. But, with this 
support, it's completely impossible to read the temperatures (and -d 
says that, like, ICH found but there is hardware monitor on it...), and 
when you disable this support - it reads everything properly!! Thank you

If this is true - if this represents a failure to rebuild the
index, instead of a failure to accurately record when the index was
rebuilt - well, actually it's a problem in both cases just a much
bigger one in the former.  Please test to make sure (for example,
are these messages indexed within 48 hours?) and if true file a PR.
You may be on to something.  Messages I sent to ports@ on

The freebsd-questions Archives

2009-06-12 Thread Leslie Jensen

Hello list!

I try not to disturb the list unless I need to using the list archive to 
find answers.


I've never been successful in searching the archives it always returns

No matches were found for ...


Now I see that the search index is not rebuild for a long time

Note:The archive search index was last rebuilt at Thursday, 08 Feb 2007 
06:16:51 UTC. Any postings after that will not be found by a search. 
Index rebuild is usally done once every 24 hours for this list. You can 
use a "View by date" link below to access more recent postings.

How should I search the list ?

indeed it is as others have said.  However, if all you need is a 
bunch of disk space accessible over the network, then FreeNAS would 
be a lot simpler to setup and maintain.   Based on FreeBSD, iSCSI 
service built in, WEbGUI interface (but you can ssh in if you want 
to).  one caveat, don't use it with USB external drives as it will 
lose connections as soon as you mount the 2nd USB drive.

Seriously, please don't obfuscate URLs when there's no real need to.
Those of us who are careful prefer not to follow strange looking
links; it's counterproductive. is.gd and tinyurl are great if you have
to type in monstrous links like

http://port25.technet.com/archive/2006/10/13/Using-Vista_2700_s-Boot-Manager-to-Boot-Linux-and-Dual-Booting-with-BitLocker-Protection-with-TPM-Support.aspx

However, there's no need when it's either copy-paste or click, and
just confuses things.

Also, Torvalds talks about stuff like that far too much. It's only
fair to call it GNU/Linux; it IS GNU on top of the Linux kernel. It's
like calling Mac OS X Darwin, or NeXTSTEP Mach (or worse, FreeBSD!).

And in the end, the world almost never heard of Linux and would have had BSD 
everywhere. Linus stated that he prob would have never made Linux if the 
litigation around BSD 4.4 had ended earlier. 

But why he feels like he can take over the GNU OS just because he made the 
kernel never made sense to me. I'm glad the GNU project finally got Hurd going 
though, even though they too almost went with a BSD 4.4 based kernel before 
Linux came along

based on Linus Torvalds (which we ALL know is RIGHT) states that

when asked if the name GNU/Linux was justified:

Well, I think it's justified, but it's justified if you
actually make a GNU distribution of Linux ... the same way
that I think that "Red Hat Linux" is fine, or "SuSE Linux"
or "Debian Linux", because if you actually make your own
distribution of Linux, you get to name the thing, but
calling Linux in general "GNU Linux" i
I think is just ridiculous.

based on the wiki page (which we ALL know is NEVER wrong) states that 
GNU/Linux is the correct form and the ONLY reason for calling it just Linux 
is that its easier to say and that's how its known overall in mainstream 
media. There is additional in that it also runs non-GNU based programs such 
as apache, but the base of it all is that Linux by itself is not an OS, just 
a kernel. Debian Illustrates this perfectly as they have done several 
different distros using different Kernels to run GNU userland, including 
FreeBSD ( http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ ), NetBSD, and Hurd.

1. Surf to http://freebsd.org.

2. Notice that there are now two flavors of FreeBSD:

LATEST RELEASES

* Production Release 7.2
* Production (Legacy) Release 6.4

3. Click on 'Documentation' and then 'Handbook'.

4. Scroll down to the table of contents of 'Appendix A. Obtaining
FreeBSD' and review these possibilities. I suggest you try CVSup.
There are CVSup clients available for virtually all Unixen systems,
including Linux.

NB. Now, read carefully the section on CVSup:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

You can grab whatever source you want with this method.

5. RTFM!

to piggy-back a little more, FreeBSD is an entire Operating System whereas 
Linux is just a Kernel used to run the GNU Operating system (The true 
nomenclature is GNU/Linux when refering to a Linux based OS).
the GNU project is currently working on writing their own Kernel named Hurd 
based off the mach kernel.

My suggestion would be to download the latest ISO and install it on
a machine with full source.  Then you will have kernel and everything
to make a FreeBSD including the correct compilers and libraries.

Kernel is really dealt with differently in FreeBSD than in Linux.
Although there is a kernel, it is intimately part of the whole
operating system, not a kernel which someone grabs makes up a separate 
distribution with.

download the ssrc.?? files, cat them together, and then it's a tarfile that
needs these arguments to extract

tar -xpzf ssrc.tgz -C /preffered/location

Hopefully Linux can handle the permissions/paths correctly.

I'm likely missing something . . . I apologize if I am, but why can't
you use CVS on linux?

One of many examples found after googling "installing cvs linux":

Thank you very much!
I added the line in ipfw script, loaded the script,
and was able to send the email with attachment.
Then tried again without the line > $cmd 00151 allow icmp from any to
any icmptypes 3 (after reboot) and it didn't send the email.
So including the line did the trick .. Thanks & Bravo!

I think because you are set the option

to "Yes" when you are subscribe to this email

you can change it on your user page in from your second email from this

You're probably subscribed to the digest version of the mailing list,
where all the emails to the list over a given period of time are bundled
together into a single message, rather than each email arriving in your

Hi all:
 
What is the default CFLAGS if *no* CFLAGS has been specified in
/etc/make.conf ?
 
As an example, let us consider a FreeBSD 7.1 system running on a
Intel Celeron M.
 
thanks
Saifi.

Hello...
 
 
It is because the installation (the makefile is wrong, it install the
binary /usr/local/openoffice.org/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
as a copy of soffice.bin)
it must install it as a shell script that fixes the loader path.
here is the shell script (named soffice).
copy over the binary soffice and make it executable
here it runs fine...   FreeBSD amd64.
