roundcube security bug
hello, I strongly advise anyone who has the mail/roundcube port or software installed to be careful as it has a security bug (and I do not know where to report it). It allows people to remotely place a trojan on /tmp and use it.

The config menu should give option to select apache 13 or apache 22 not force apache 22 on the user community. Is the maintainer going to change the config menu before php5 8.0 is released for production? If you want a different version of Apache, all you have to do is install Apache first, then PHP will use the version you have installed. It's always been that way. It's just that up till now the default was 1.3. It's _LOOONG_ past time when the default should have moved to 2.X. I had Apache 13 installed before installing php5 and it did install php with files for apache22. It did not default to using apache 13 which was all ready installed. ___ 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

Hello Everybody, Since several days ago I get a segmentation fault on a FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE/AMD64 box when invoking 'pkg_delete' on installed packages to delete them. This box has been most recently 'built-world' and I did a 'make delete-files' and sibblings as a precaution - but I still get this error. I suspect a DB47 issue (if this is possoble, but I don't know). How can the database be repaired without loosing informations about the installed packages and is this shown degmentation-fault issue a well known issue?

Your typical small ISP would rather save the bandwidth it takes to transfer all articles, esp. if only a fraction of them are accessed by their customers. It simply doesn't make sense for them to host binaries, unlike dedicated news providers which have enough customers to justify the expenses. That's essentially correct, but it's worth noting that an ISP can provide a news feed to their customers through one of the major news providers. It wasn't unusual not so long ago for dialup ISPs to offer a full alt.binaries hierachy this way. As for client suggestions, that typically depends on whether the person is interested in text, binaries, or both. Most clients are capable of doing both, of course. That's not to say that all do both equally well. Right tool for the job and all that. For text, I'd recommend slrn. Gary is already using mutt, so I'd suggest he go that route, or alternatively, try mutt's nntp patch and use mutt instead. Works perfectly well and it's what I use. If reading news is going to be a regular thing, then setting up a local server of some sort (to pull down feeds from one or more providers) may be a useful addition, though slrn does does provide a companion program to do something similar. Binary groups, on the other hand, are generally best handled by a GUI client. If you know what you're doing, command-line programs like nget, nzbperl, etc. may be preferrable or useful additions. The thing to keep in mind is that irrespective of what client one is using, it's the quality of the feed that matters most. At least for non-casual use. For a top notch feed, expect to pay out a few extra bucks per month. That typically gives you a host of other benefits that would include a complete hierarchy, high retention levels, unrestricted download speeds, web access, multiple connections, multiple servers, NNTPS, HTTPs, Clarinet, and a direct line to customer support. If you think you are or can get most of those for free (from your ISP, for example), you haven't looked carefully enough. Still, I think a subscription to a pay provider is worth every cent, even for text groups. -- George ___ 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

Busy disk and page fault
Hi all, I'm asking myself about a problem I have with a Postgresql server on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. The server is overload, the disk is 100% busy with 250 write operations per second and a throuput of 6MB/s. My first idea is because of mass random access/write on the disk. But I also see the server can make 20k page fault per second. So, did you think I really have a disk contention or this high number of page fault can be a problem (and if it can, how to resolve it).

FreeBSD 7.1R on laptop
Hi all, I am using FBSD 7.1R on PC. But yesterday (8 Mar 09) my hard disk was physically broken. My machine is very old anyway. So I want to buy a new laptop (notebook). I have some questions. 1. Previously I use ADSL but now I go back to 56k serial modem. The problem is new laptops do not provide COM port (/dev/cuad?). I must use internal modem built with the laptop. I'm not sure whether this internal modem can be found by FBSD 7.1R or not. If not, how to do? (Sorry I never used laptop.) 2. Previously, I used LILO boot manager (from Linux) for selecting FBSD, Linux or WinXP. But nowadays most of the time I use only FBSD and don't use Linux at all. So I don't want to waste the space installing linux on my new laptop. But I use XP occassionally. I need to know whether FBSD boot manager can select and boot XP or not? How to do it? I didn't find it in the handbook. Note that I know grub. But I really want to know the way, the system provide. Because I have a long story of this problem. Once (5 years ago) I installed FBSD success but without caution. I rebooted then I could not run the freshly installed system. Because there was no options for selecting the new system. :-( That time I ended up with LILO to fix the problem. But this time I just don't want to install Linux. So I want to use only what, the system provides.

Re: Warning: KLD '/boot/kernel/linux.ko' is newer than the linker.hints
Probably you installed that files _after_ linker.hints is generated,
just make sure that they are still compatible with /boot/kernel/kernel
Perhaps its a matter of the process we're using. I first install the GENERIC
kernel into the image I am creating:
export DESTDIR=${IMAGE_DIR}
export DIST=/mnt/7.0-RELEASE
pushd ${DIST}/kernels
./install.sh GENERIC
popd
and then I apply our custom kernel:
cd ${IMAGE_DIR}/boot
mv kernel kernel.orig
cd ${IMAGE_DIR}
gzip -d /mnt2/CUSTOM.tgz | tar xvpf -
The CUSTOM.tgz file was created for me by one of our kernel guys, and I checked
the archive and there is a new linux.ko file in the archive but no linker.hints
file. We don't make any changes to linux.ko but it is likely being recompiled
when the custom kernel is created. So I suspect I can ignore this warning but
am I missing something in the process. When a new kernel is created, is there a
new linker.hints file that should be included in the tarball?

RE: FreeBSD 7.1R on laptop
Some laptops do come with COM ports still. Usually they are the business models. For example, the Dell Latitude 820's have them. -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Pongthep Kulkrisada Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 11:35 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD 7.1R on laptop Hi all, I am using FBSD 7.1R on PC. But yesterday (8 Mar 09) my hard disk was physically broken. My machine is very old anyway. So I want to buy a new laptop (notebook). I have some questions. 1. Previously I use ADSL but now I go back to 56k serial modem. The problem is new laptops do not provide COM port (/dev/cuad?). I must use internal modem built with the laptop. I'm not sure whether this internal modem can be found by FBSD 7.1R or not. If not, how to do? (Sorry I never used laptop.) 2. Previously, I used LILO boot manager (from Linux) for selecting FBSD, Linux or WinXP. But nowadays most of the time I use only FBSD and don't use Linux at all. So I don't want to waste the space installing linux on my new laptop. But I use XP occassionally. I need to know whether FBSD boot manager can select and boot XP or not? How to do it? I didn't find it in the handbook. Note that I know grub. But I really want to know the way, the system provide. Because I have a long story of this problem. Once (5 years ago) I installed FBSD success but without caution. I rebooted then I could not run the freshly installed system. Because there was no options for selecting the new system. :-( That time I ended up with LILO to fix the problem. But this time I just don't want to install Linux. So I want to use only what, the system provides.

Re: USENET?
On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 07:14:26 -0700 For text, I'd recommend slrn. Gary is already using mutt, so I'd suggest he go that route, or alternatively, try mutt's nntp patch and use mutt instead. Works perfectly well and it's what I use. If reading news is going to be a regular thing, then setting up a local server of some sort (to pull down feeds from one or more providers) may be a useful addition, though slrn does does provide a companion program to do something similar. Binary groups, on the other hand, are generally best handled by a GUI client. If you know what you're doing, command-line programs like nget, nzbperl, etc. may be preferrable or useful additions. The thing to keep in mind is that irrespective of what client one is using, it's the quality of the feed that matters most. At least for non-casual use. For a top notch feed, expect to pay out a few extra bucks per month. That typically gives you a host of other benefits that would include a complete hierarchy, high retention levels, unrestricted download speeds, web access, multiple connections, multiple servers, NNTPS, HTTPs, Clarinet, and a direct line to customer support. Even though this has nothing to do with FreeBSD, its worth mentioning that pulling down headers for a news group can use a lot of disk space and consume a lot of time. The OP might consider using one of the NZB aggregator sites and using a client that is NZB capable. This, of course, is most useful for binaries. The other tools usually required for these multipart postings are also in the tree. A little bit of Googling will cover learning how to use them.

Do I have to do anything to enable multi-processors in Freebsd ? Yes - the Prestonia is from before EMT64. Some while back FreeBSD went to having SMP enabled as default in the GENERIC kernel. I haven't looked at the 6.x series as I went to 7.0-Release when it arrived. I did take a quick look at the GENERIC conf file on a 7.1-Release box and it has SMP in there as default. On older hardware you might try both/either 6.x and/or 7.1 releases and try and see if one works better. I'd try 7.1 first as it will have a better long term upgrade path, and fall back to giving 6.x a go if 7.1 gives trouble. Most likely what you'll see is whether or not the disk controllers are properly supported. SCSI and/or IDE can give problems with boot ordering sometimes. If it doesn't hickup on the disk controller(s) everything else will most likely be fine. As old as it is there is a pretty fair chance it will be OK. -Mike ___ 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

If that's exactly how you ran portupgrade, then I'm afraid you won't have any log info anywhere. You need the -L flag to portupgrade, which takes a printf(3) style format string (see man portupgrade for an example of how to use it), or you can run portupgrade in a script(1) session, something like this: # script /var/log/portupgrade.log portupgrade -fa Note that this approach will log ALL output generated by portupgrade, stderr and stdout, so the log file will get large.

iSCSI initiator lockups
I'm running into some odd headaches regarding what looks like iSCSI initiators going to sleep for approximately 30 seconds before returning to life and pumping a ton of information back to the target. While this is happening, system load climbs up alarmingly fast. Looking at tcpdumps in Wireshark, it shows what appears to be a nearly exact 30 second delay where the initiator stops talking to the target server, then abruptly restarts. Currently 8 machines are talking to 2 servers with 4 targets a piece, and while its working, we get good throughput. Activity is moderately high, as we are using the iSCSI targets as spool disks in an email cluster. As it appears that iscsi-target is a single-threaded process, would it be valuable to put each target in its own process on its own port? At any rate, this is causing serious problems on the mail processing machines. -- Jason T. Nelson j...@jtn.cx GPG key 0xFF676C9E pgpAAGlC6hiog.pgp Description: PGP signature

Probably you installed that files _after_ linker.hints is generated,

Perhaps its a matter of the process we're using. I first install the GENERIC
kernel into the image I am creating:
export DESTDIR=${IMAGE_DIR}
export DIST=/mnt/7.0-RELEASE
pushd ${DIST}/kernels
./install.sh GENERIC
popd
and then I apply our custom kernel:
cd ${IMAGE_DIR}/boot
mv kernel kernel.orig
cd ${IMAGE_DIR}
gzip -d /mnt2/CUSTOM.tgz | tar xvpf -
The CUSTOM.tgz file was created for me by one of our kernel guys, and I
checked the archive and there is a new linux.ko file in the archive but no
linker.hints file. We don't make any changes to linux.ko but it is likely
being recompiled when the custom kernel is created. So I suspect I can
ignore this warning but am I missing something in the process. When a new
kernel is created, is there a new linker.hints file that should be included
in the tarball?
You can ignore warning or make it go with already mentioned command.
Your kernel guys should already take care for possible ABI breakage :-/
Even if ABI breakage happen, which can cause panic, above warning will not
try to save you from crash.
