Depending on exactly how and when (and from where) a process is started this might not work, but is probably the best that can be done without hacking the kernel source code. A process normally inherits the environment from its parent process. When a process calls some of the exec(3) functions to start a new program it can also provide a completely new environment which can be completely independent of the parent's. The settings in login.conf(5) only (AFAICT) affects processes whose ancestry can be traced back to a login(1) instance, and where the environment hasn't been changed along the way. This should cover most of the processes you are interested in but perhaps not quite all of them. If you really want *all* processes to have a certain environment variable set to a given value you will have to modify the execve(2) system call. I don't recommend doing this unless you know *exactly* what you are doing and the possible consequences thereof. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

By default, FreeBSD should be configured properly if you don't include _any_ of the above lines in your /etc/rc.conf at all. Grep for 'sendmail' in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and you'll see what is already configured. On a new system, all you should have to do to set up mail is (if in single user mode you have to set hostname first): cd /etc/mail make edit your.host.name.submit.mc make install make start If you are running 'make' on a running system after editing freebsd.submit.mc you won't actually be installing the right file cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
SMTP stupid question
Hi all Well I've very classic question but google/mail-archive don't give me a answer. I want to configure a FreeBSD box without sendmail-daemon but I want all all mail sent to my smtp-server. For that I put sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" I'm change in my /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc the ligne FEATURE(`msp', `[the_adresse_of_my_smtp_server]')dnl use make;make install to build the good sendmail.cf But I think that's not a good solution. Because : 1/ It's work only for root (I'v got a message about permission when I try to send a email when I'm not root) 2/ My smtp-server try to re-send to me the email to root (example for cron message etc. is send to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I forget to tell I'm not controling the smtp-server.

Ignore that. I didn't realize two filesystems were mounted on top of each other. This shouldn't be a problem, but unless you unmount the /dev/ad0s2 device, the 13 GB of /dev/ad0s1g will remain forever "hidden".

You can easily enough create a new mountpoint and edit /etc/fstab accordingly, as you have been given carte blanche to do what you will... As it stands, I think ad0s2 will get mounted on top of ad0s1g, rendering it invisible and inaccessible.

It's quite possible to mount two different (or even the same) disk partitions on the same mountpoint. It would certainly be a valid thing to do if the union flag were specified. Otherwise, I strongly suspect that only the last disk mounted will be written to, but you could create a file under /home and see what grows with df. I suggest pointing ad0s1g at /home2 (which you'll have to create) then umount /home twice, then mount /home and /home2. Or, instead of /home2 perhaps /usr/local, but you'd have to go via a temporary mountpoint and copy existing /usr/local to it. Finally (or do nothing but) complain! I've seen worse. The last (Linux) colo we got, had 60+Gb for /var and 5Gb for /home - completely backwards! --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

But, in any case, I have tried with the three, and the result is the same. My system is set as: Primary channel: Main HD (160 Gig) as master, and a CD-RW as slave Secondary channel: A 60 Gig HD as master and a DVD-ROM as slave. All the above in a ULTRA ATA card.

Re: Stupid question
Gerard Samuel wrote: How does one send a message to another logged in user on the same box via the command line?? Thanks No such thing as a stupid question, it's the answers you have to worry about that make it seem stupid. Dictionary.com defines stupid as: 1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse. 2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes. 3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid mistake. 4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied. 5. Pointless; worthless: a stupid job. From bottom to top, 5 - Your question was not pointless or worthless. 4 - Hopefully it wasn't any of these. 3 - Hmmm, we're getting dangerously close to questions being stupid, but unless some previous life experience exposed this to you then nope. 2 - It certainly wasn't a poor decision or careless mistake that you asked a question. 1 - Being slow to learn or understand a given problem isn't really that bad. With all the different commands, software packages, utilities and what nots for any given OS, unless you encountered it through a life experience or learned it then that wouldn't make one a slow learner. At most it is getting close to obtuse. But even then unless you encountered the concept of your question it really doesn't count. You can start with /man write/ then go from there, being sure to review the SEE ALSO section for other commands that might do what you want as well.

I believe that some of the ports that use interactive settings can't be changed this way as well, though I may be wrong. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Quoting the comments in my copy of that file: # MAKE_ARGS: hash # # This is a hash of ports glob => arguments mapping. portupgrade(1) # and portinstall(1) look it up to pick command line arguments to # pass to make(1). You can use wildcards ("ports glob").

Why not? What did you put in /etc/make.conf? I just tried rebuiding textproc/ispell with ISPELL_FR=yes in my make.conf file. Ports correctly tries to build ispell with French support by typing: # cd /usr/ports/txtproc/ispell # make > For exemple, if I want to build imapd with drac support, I go "make > WITH_DRAC=yes install", but I would love to go like "make install", > putting WITH_DRAC=yes in some configuration file somewhere so I > don't have to write nor remember it all the time (especially when > upgrading). > > Is that even possible ? Another possibility is to create a metaport, that depends on other ports. I call mine my-workstation, and I have created it under /usr/ports/misc/my-workstation. The purpose of this port is not to build anything or install anything of its own; just to have proper dependencies for all the programs I usually want around. The Makefile of that port includes: # Feature customization for the `contained' ports. .MAKEFLAGS+=WITHOUT_X11=YES \ ISPELL_FR=YES \ ISPELL_IT=YES \ WITH_SSL=YES These flags are passed down to all the dependencies of the port, when it's installed. This way, all the ports that my-workstation pulls in by dependencies will compile without X11 support, ispell will include both Italian and French support, Pine will have SSL support compiled in by default, etc. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Use portupgrade, from the ports tree. Then you can do "portupgrade imapd" to update it, and it'll look in $(PREFIX)/etc/pkgtools.conf to see what settings you want to use. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

stupid question
Hi ! I am sure it is a common question, but I can't find the answer: - how can I save my defined settings when building a port ? Putting them in /etc/make.conf does not seem to work. For exemple, if I want to build imapd with drac support, I go "make WITH_DRAC=yes install", but I would love to go like "make install", putting WITH_DRAC=yes in some configuration file somewhere so I don't have to write nor remember it all the time (especially when upgrading). Is that even possible ? Thanks in advance. -- Antoine Jacoutot [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lphp.org "Unix is user friendly. He's just very picky about who his friends are..."

Stupid Question time
Kpp, I opened it up to set up, and then clicked on Don't ask this question again, where it asks to use wizard or dialog. Wizard can't help me, so how can I go back? Is there no going back?

Urgent, but stupid question
I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, and after ripping 10 CDs to bring with me on the trip, I noticed that the software I used (abcde) put all the ID3 tags in under version 2 ID3. My problem is, my car stereo only reads ID3v1. Does anyone know of a script/program that will copy ID3v2 to ID3v1?
