Highly recommended seems a very strange thing for the FAQ to be saying. It's implying that FreeBSD base-system upgrades are a bit flaky. It even goes on Should you decide not to do a fresh install, as if to say you have been warned. Unless my experience is abnormal, we seem to be publishing our own FUD. When does a valid assessment of the difficulty of a certain course of action turn into an unjustified attempt to spread Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt? This is not FUD because it is absolutely true. You will get better results by making a new install on your new hard drive and merging over your data. Aside from anything else, the recommended partitioning has changed significantly over the years, and if you try and install 7.x into a disk layout originally designed for 4.x you will be a very unhappy bunny indeed[1]. Not to mention such things as the change from UFS1 to UFS2. Base system upgrades /across major version numbers/ are difficult. Unless you have guru-like capabilities, a fanatical level of interest in the OS internals and a great deal of luck, then it is entirely likely that you will run into problems you will be unable to solve. The 6.x to 7.x upgrade is really the first one that I've felt happy to do by re-compiling the system in-situ: even so, getting all the installed software correctly recompiled and linked against the new 7.x shlibs requires a deal of care to make work correctly.

the age old 3D hardware question
Hello. I'm looking to buy a new workstation that needs to be able to run in 64-bit (long) mode (working with large data sets). What are my options for 3D acceleration without binary drivers? My needs are quite minimal, I'm not running any games. As far as I can tell, only onboard Intel graphics and some ATI cards can provide acceleration without blobs. Is this really the case? I'm currently looking at the cheapest ATI cards as it seems that nobody makes a motherboard with the Intel onboard graphics that's compatible with Xeon CPUs. Am I going to be disappointed?

I'm coming to this discussion a bit late, and in general it's true that you can't limit root's ability to read files, execute programs, fiddle with settings etc. What you can do, which has limited usefulness but might fit your specific case, is temporarily prevent root from using su to log in as another user without knowing their password. If you comment out (or remove entirely, which may slow down the other user even more, if they're unfamiliar with pam) the line authsufficient pam_rootok.so no_warn in /etc/pam.d/su, root has to meet the same requirements as any other user before using su. Of course there's nothing to stop someone with root access from editing this file, but now the problem user has to actively subvert a measure that's been taken by another sysadmin - which may provide a better starting-point for a conversation about what they're up to.

That is WRONG anyway you look at it. And again, if it checked the arch type and skipped libutil.so.5 in /usr/lib32 it would fall back to checking /lib and things would work. Moreover, if /usr/lib had major number links just like /usr/lib32 has, this would again have worked without issue. I believe this will be fixed on the other side of the fence (not setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/lib32 to begin wtih) but still, my point still stands. -aps It doesn't. Stop feeding 32 bit libraries and it won't try to load them. It is as simple as that. For complex scenarious we do provide LD_32_ family of environment variables and if you refuse using them and insist on sticking with clearly broken configuration, it your problem, not rtld's. -- Alexander Kabaev signature.asc Description: PGP signature

sudo multiple commands at once without shell script
How do I run multiple sudo commands at once?

I could obviously write a shell script or something or do: sudo whoami; sudo whoami but is there a better way? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
