mountd requests
Hey All, We have a shared nfs machine that is used between multiple client machines. While this in itself is ok, any client that issues a `showmount` command can see the other mounts that are currently established. I can't for the life of me figure out how this is a good thing. I big security related `no no` comes to mind whenever I see all mounts from all clients returned back to me from a client. Now, mountd doesn't have a `secure` option to turn this off, but I have developed an untested patch for doing this. I think the reasonable default behavior would be to return only mounts that the physical host making the request currently has established. I guess my real question is, has anyone ever been concerned by this? ~Paul This message may contain confidential or privileged information.

Polytropon free...@edvax.de wrote:
FreeBSD defines additional exit codes to specify the reason for
exiting more precisely in /usr/include/sysexits.h - for your
example, exit(EX_USAGE); would be a good exit code.
Actually, no. The purpose of the sysexits.h codes is for
communication between SMTP processes (e.g. between an MTA
such as sendmail and a delivery agent such as procmail), so
the MTA can determine the meaning (severity) of the error
and how to proceed.
The only standard exit codes for normal programs are
EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE. You should use these.
[where to put braces]
In fact, I'm sticking to the concept that only the highest level
of code groupers deserve a new line {: these are functions in
C and class methods in C++. Everything else has the { appended
(after a space) to the construct that causes the {. So if you find
a }, you only need to look up. It's obvious that a } is caused
by a {, but you want to know the construct that made it appear,
for example if(), while(), a struct definition or something similar.
With this concept at hand, looking up will make you find this
construct in question at the first glance.
Of course this is purely a matter of taste and personal
preference. My preference is similar to yours, but my
main reasoon is to save space. I think it is a ridiculous
waste of space if every third line consisted only of a
sole brace (opening or closing). To my eye, such lines
that are almost empty break the natural structure of a
piece of source code. I insert empty lines quite often
in order to group source lines logically, but brace lines
break that grouping visually.
That's probably one of the reasons why I like Python so
much: There are no braces for source structuring at all.
This allows me to write very compact code _and_ structure
it logically at the same time, making it easily readable
and comprehensible. Furthermore, Python gets rid of all
of the brace problems that C has, e.g. relating an else
to the wrong if when multiple if statements are nested,
and forgetting to add braces when you add a second line to
an if branch (unless you always use braces in C, even
when they're superfluous, but again that's a waste of
space and does not really improve readability).
I could go on for hours, but this is really off-topic now,
so we should take this to the -chat list (or to private
mail).

Use of libgd
I am trying to use libgd to create some images. They are creating properly except there are color changes that I can't seem to figure out. The initial image is basically black and white PNG. I have converted it to GD2 format. There are a number of secondary images that have a couple of colors (black, red, blue etc). Each of them has been converted to GD2 format. When any of these are converted back to PNG format they display properly. However when I load the initial image, and then overlay it with one of the secondary images, the colors in the secondary images change. For example, red can become yellow or black etc. I tried gdImageCopyPalette from the secondary to the primary before the overlay but that seems to have no effect. Clearly I am missing something but can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

You decide whether you are using spaces or tabs. If spaces, you decide how many spaces per indent level. You ask the programmers to submit code in that format. It doesn't jump around randomly from one line to the next. Okay, now I understand what you mean. Consistency refers to the usage of spacing / tabbing for a given project that is adopted by several programmers. Yes, I agree with that: It's a very bad idea to have many different styles within the same project. You are trying to make it sound like a big problem, but it isn't. When I need to read / work with other's code, it's can develop into problems. Natural habits like hitting the tab key are very hard to change several times, for each project a different rule. Just my view based on years of experience. Don't take it too seriously. Okay, understood. Better often depends on what one is used to, except it can be put into a standpoint-independent discussion of pros and cons. When I would compare both indentation forms, I'd say that tabbing is the better form because + you can set your individually preferred tab with using the settings of your editor, be it 1, 4 or 8, Why is this flexibility important? The more important thing is to have consistently indented code. There is no great benefit in letting different programmers see the code indented to different levels. They just want to be able to read it. But the ability to read it is not the only important thing. It's how you use it, because programmers usually do more than just reading, they continue developing. The tab approach allows them to have their individual viewing options without needing to reformat the code. While programmer A likes ^TD2, another might want to work with ^TD8 or even ^TD10. The code stays the same. + you can change the indentation while you're coding, e. g. when the indentation level makes the code exceed the right margin of your editor's window, So what? How many times have you actually done this in the past year? Be honest. I belong to the ones who like ^TD8. The ability of changing the indentation width wasn't meant to be an agrument *for me*, but *for me and others*. It's not that I change the width very often, and as I think you've already guessed, I don't do it on a regular basis. But maybe if I pass ^TD8 code to you, you would want to work with it in ^TD4. THIS is the ability of changing I wanted to refer to. + you need more keypressing to get through the indentation with the spaces, one keypress per space, while you only need one keypress per tab (which equals one indentation level), Not true. You set up your editor settings to automatically do this for you. Most editors have this capability. Not all editors have this ability. And especially under low level circumstances, e. g. editing with vi in SUM required in a maintenance phase, you'll be happy about every keystroke you can save. On my editor (vim) it only takes at most one keypress to indent. You still might use the tab key, or even have the editor automatically format for you based on syntax. Editors have done this for decades. Your objection is specious. I'd like to add that tab based indentation is independent from the functionalities of a specific editor. It's even handy for printing where the tab width can be set to a certain value. Okay, your counterargument could now be: Who prints today anyway? :-) Not every programmer uses vim, emacs or Eclipse. Some really like the old fashioned ways like joe. The tabbing approach allows them not to take the indentation spaces as what they are: space characters. + per indentation level only 1 byte is needed (tab = ASCII 9), while spacing requires more bytes, one per space (space = ASCII 32), Are you telling me that in an age when most cheap user workstations have hundreds of gigabytes of disk space, you need this kind of savings? This is a *very* weak point. Maybe, but it *is* a point. :-) + while you can convert tabs into spaces, you cannot easily convert spaces back into tabs, and finally Not true. It is extremely easy to convert both directions. The unix 'expand' command converts one direction, and 'unexpand' goes the reverse direction. These unix utilities have been around as long as 'cat' and 'ls'. Thanks for this advice, these seem to be really handy tools. It's worth mentioning that they will work only as ling as the internal guidelines for spacing / tabbing are followed, or else only rubbish will come out. Moreover the whole point is moot anyway. There are lots of high quality code formatters available. One called 'Artistic Style' is well known and very capable. On a lot of projects these days, people get sick of these kinds

hit the % key, it puts me onto the matching opening brace. However in
this scenario:
int foo( int x )
{
#ifdef SCENARIO_A
if ( x3 ) {
#else
if ( x2 ) {
#endif
// . . .
}
// . . .
}
matching the closing brace of foo() will fail, as the number of braces
no longer matches.
Putting the opening brace of the 'if' on another line solves this problem.

Re: Why?? (prog question)
Polytropon wrote: Okay, now I understand what you mean. Consistency refers to the usage of spacing / tabbing for a given project that is adopted by several programmers. Yes, I agree with that: It's a very bad idea to have many different styles within the same project. . . . When I need to read / work with other's code, it's can develop into problems. Natural habits like hitting the tab key are very hard to change several times, for each project a different rule. . . . Not all editors have this ability. And especially under low level circumstances, e. g. editing with vi in SUM required in a maintenance phase, you'll be happy about every keystroke you can save. Most of my work is in a setting where the development machine is different from the target machine. Usually on a development machine you have the luxury of setting up all the tools you want and configuring them however you want. If you spend more time editing on the fly on a target machine, then that creates a different scenario, similar to doing sysadmin work. I've made most of my main points, and I think we've got to where differences of opinion now rest mainly on taste, which in turn is often guided by what you're used to. Consequently it's not possible to get much further, especially with the I like 4 spaces because I'm used to them vs. I like 8-level tabs because I'm used to them argument. I find that as I move from project to project, indentation standards do change. I find that where people have the resources to fully configure their development machines, reasonably thoughtful people who have experience in both standards end up converging on spaces being better than tabs because they are neater. I also find that, given such a configuration choice, more people find 4-space indentation looks better on the screen than go with 2 or 8 or 3. Consequently I stick with '4 spaces for indentation' as my norm, and if I have to switch to something else for a given project because people are using that standard, then I will change my editor settings. I'd like to add that tab based indentation is independent from the functionalities of a specific editor. It's even handy for printing where the tab width can be set to a certain value. Okay, your counterargument could now be: Who prints today anyway? :-) I'm more concerned with things like diff listings, where lines are preceded with: which breaks the tab indentation because everything is pushed over by a space or two. Personally, I have the (maybe outdated) opinion that a programmer should not only care for his programs to be valid, correct, efficient, well structured, intended and documented, but also tidy and styled. What's to understand from these words can be very individual, I agree. We agree on this point, which is why we're having this discussion. There are lots of cases where it's hard to make code line up the way you want it with tabs. Often code that looks good with one tab length setting (say 8) doesn't look so good with another (say 4). It gets especially bad when there are a few space characters thrown in, which people often do. Okay, I didn't think of this. Taking this argument into mind, spaces can be useful for parameter lists that don't fit into one line, but should line up after the opening (, e. g. foofunction(data, %d,%d,%d, doodle.x, doodle.y, doodle,z, foo, bar, pups, furz, This is some stupid text., doom[dee].quoggle); This wouldn't be easy to achieve with tabs, especially when their width may vary. Even an 'if' or 'while' statement that spans more than one line can have problems like this. Nice discussion. -Will ___ 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
py24-gobject won't deinstall
Sorry if this is more appropriate for the newbie list, but that one seems to be inactive since 2005. I am trying to install py25-gobject from ports (/usr/ports/devel/py-gobject), but make complains that an older version (py24-gobject) is already installed. Deinstalling from that same directory returns a simple Deinstalling for ... and nothing else. And then make reinstall/install starts the cycle all over again. I tried pkg_delete to see what depends on py24-gobject and it's a hefty list; is deinstalling that entire list and then installing py25-gobject the only option for me?

So people using pkg_add -r php5 will not get mod_php5.
That's right, you haven't been able able to install mod_php5 from a

APACHE_MODULE pulls in apache as dep, while CGI and CLI do not. There is
not much difference in performance with the CGI version and mod_fcgid,
the major difference with the module is the ease of site/directory

No, I use apache22 and APACHE_PORT is set as ?=, so if set in env or

2) Can you please submit it? :)
Not in this form, I use it locally and change at will which options I need.
Provided here as example, that creating slave ports is not too hard ;) This is
actually a pretty complicated slave port as far as slave ports go.
I'll see what I can do, but it seems unlikely to me that this hasn't yet been

Energy use (was installing freebsd on windows)

On reasonable spec hardware it runs very well, the developers have done an excellent job of course. windows vista runs well too on overmuscled hardware. Just i don't understand the idea of wasting the power of good hardware just to waste. Ok this is getting a bit OT but I would like to say it as I think it is something that we should be having a lot of discussion about. There is a further reason for using PCBSD which is energy consumption. My computer used to run for hours even days upgrading the base system and my desktop ports. Now it's all done once (well more than once for testing but you get the point I hope). And fairly new hardware can be more energy efficient than quite old hardware.

Proxy to filter peer to peer connexion on port 80
Hello folks, I am looking for a good and simple proxy that will allow me to filter peer to peer on my FBSD box - knowing that I have a firewall that already does the job of filtering outside connexions, but people are still using port 80 to download using P2P software. As we have a very limited bandwidth - 512Kbps - and as the resources are very expensive - 5K$ / month - yes this is possible It is actually in Angola ! So considering these figures I would like to install a proxy to filter all port 80 requests. As I haven't been worknig with proxy since many years, I would like to follow good advice. The last memories I had regarding proxy was using Squid // I don't know if this is a good choice ?? Any pointer or how to will be welcome.

Re: make installkernel NDIS disaster
2009/4/1 Kayven Riese kay...@gmail.com
I was trying to get my DVD burner working on FreeBSD 7.0 and I followed
some advice about
installing a kernel and for some reason I got some NDIS errors. I don't
know why NDIS reared its
apparently ugly head, but it caused a terrible error. I was able to
make buildkernel .. well.. actually
I guess I wasn't. I think the attached file, makesplat.log which is a
typescript of the make buildkernel
command and should have at least one pwd in it, should show what happened.
I booted up and strange antimultitasking things happened. One application
at a time commandiered the
window manager or something. I lost the Gnome Applications Places System
window and it got
replaced with whatever app's menu system was File .. I tried make
installkernel which I guess was
stupid because the other make failed. makeinstallkernel.log is a
typescript similar to makesplat.log
but of a make installkernel KERNCONF=KAYVE_KERN (my kernel file)
Hence, I popped in my old clunky hard disk with 60 GB but reliably runs
FreeBSD. Here is a bunch
of pictures of that operation in case it is not completely clear:
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/swap/index.vhtml
I am running this disk now so I can mount the othere data. This 60 GB disk
runs

I had been trying to follow these directions:
gheist http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_1079061.html:
You have to install SCSI over ATAPI driver. GENERIC kernel does not have
one. Only burncd in base system can use acd driver for burning CD/DVD,
others do use SCSI cd driver
Create a file with following content in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf:
include GENERIC
ident KAYVEY

nocpu I586_CPU

--
Then run config NEW_FILE
Go into kernel build directory run
make cleandepend ; make depend ; make make install
The new kernel will let you use cd0 device.
acd0 is gone for good - update /etc/fstab accordingly.
Here is a bit of makesplat for that failure (I think this is the end of
makesplat.log)

WinPopUp type messages from FreeBSD to Mac OS X
Hi,
Anyone know of a command-line program that will pop-up a window on my
Mac with a message from FreeBSD?
If you ever used earlier versions of Windows, there was 'net
send' ('course, that was Windows to Windows).
I'd like to find something that I can script to send a lan IM, for
example: Filesystem /var is full!
Getting an IM lets me respond quicker than waiting to read the next
morning's email.

Some perusal of the svn manual and poking around in the repository may help you track current, but there isn't anything in place yet to let you track stable, for instance. I appreciate the URLs, but I think you're misinterpreting what I was asking. First, your comment about isn't anything in place yet to let you track stable,, That's not true. You could do this in cvsup, but seeing as I always cvsup the complete FreeBSD cvs archive, I would just do a checkout from my present archive using the stable branch I was interested. Do a cvs status -v of /usr/src/Makefile to get a complete listing of the names and numbers for all of the tags and branches you can checkout. In cvs, such things are sticky, so following a particular branch is no trick at all. Of course, clearing sticky tags/dates/branches that you set is equally easy to do. I can't figure out why you were telling me that stuff about HEAD and other branches. I think you my be wrong is what I *think* you said, you can branch any directory you want, at all. You can even branch a branch. Branches go against files, and cvs is rather stupid about directories. That's actually one of the things I like about svn, it knows about directories. I just need to know how to go about grabbing updating FreeBSD's entire subversion archive. Once I grab that archive, I can play at my will, affecting no one else, I think (like cvs). What I was really after was a way to fetch the FreeBSD subversion archive. I already have a correct cvs-supfile to use with cvsup, to allow me to do daily updates of my cvs archive. If I found out how to get the subversion one instead, I guess I would stop tracking the cvs archive. I don't know if I'd use something like cvs2svn to convert my present archive, or just fetch the new archive from scratch, I need to see what's the recommended way to go. But I do need to figure out how to get the subversion archive (not a particular branch of the archive, the whole kit and kaboodle).

I personally do upgrades over SSH all the time (by skipping the single-user step) but there are reasons it's not recommended. If your new kernel doesn't work or play nicely for some reason you don't want to be stuck with a world newer than your (reinstalled) old kernel. If the system doesn't come back up multi-user for any of a variety of reasons then you won't have SSH access, etc. You should have good backups and a way to get console access if it's needed. That said, it usually works--especially for small incremental upgrades (7.0 to 7.1 or just different points along the same -STABLE branch, etc). So in a nutshell there are no guarantees but if you have an adequate bailout plan it can be a timesaver.

If you want to mess with avimovies, thatn avidemux2 is your way to go... you can cut, copy, past, convert, movies using it To make or edit the subtitles, use gnome-subtitles.. to insert the subtitles in the mpeg stream use spumux (in the dvdauthor package) If you only want to copy a comercial DVD (that have 7GB) into an writeable dvd, thatn K9copy is your way...

Re: going from cvs to svnq
On Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:18:33 -0400, Chuck Robey chu...@telenix.org wrote: What I don't know is, I use cvsup all the time, but when I switch to svn, what does the cvsup job of tracking an archive (not tracking the sources, I mean the archive)? Does svn do it all itself? If so, I can find out how, I just want to know if that's how its done. If not, what's the general tool used to track the freebsd archive, so I can investigate it? Hi Chunk, CVSup does two things: * It can check out copies of all the files in a remote repository, using date- and time-based snapshot info, or just CVS tag names. * It can mirror the RCS metadata of a CVS repository. These two operations are replaced, in a Subversion world, by the svn(1) client and a utility called svnsync(1). The svn(1) client can check out a snapshot of the Subversion repository using a revision ID, a date, or one of the special tag paths we have in the Subversion repository. The syntax for specifying the revision is slightly different from CVS, but more on that later. The good thing about svn(1) is that its operation is actually 'safer' than cvs(1) or CVSup, because a revision is either fully committed into the remote repository or is isn't. You can't check out half of a change from a Subversion repository, because you were unlucky enough to run the client when only half of a commit had been stored into the repository. I expect this sort of 'transactional' property of the Subversion tree to appeal a bit to all the users. Those who run CURRENT will like the fact that they won't get half of a commit, spend a few hours chasing down build problems, and then realize they could have avoided all that by checking out a full copy. Even the users who run STABLE will probably be a bit happy about this sort of transactional behavior of commits, because it means that in periods of high checkout load (i.e. right after an important security fix), they know that they either _have_ the change that fixes the issue or that they _don't_ have it. Checking out sources: Checking out with svn(1) is currently supported by the online Subversion repository, which is read-only to everyone and is accessible at: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/ You can point an svn(1) client there and check out parts of the source repository. Please do *not* check out a full copy of the _entire_ tree though. It will contain dozens of branches and several dozens of vendor applications that you most certainly _don't_ care about, and it will put a huge load on the Subversion server for no useful purpose. Before checking out with svn(1) you should take a bit of time to browse the repository and see its structure and there each branch lives. There is a web interface for the repository at: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/ This should be a bit friendlier looking than the raw 'svn over http' pages of the `http://svn.freebsd.org/base/' URI. The branches that are most interesting for checking out source snapshots are: URI CVS-style name --- http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/ CURRENT http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/X.Y.Z RELENG_X_Y_Z_RELEASE http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/X.YRELENG_X_Y http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/X RELENG_X Examples: If you want to check out a copy of `7-STABLE', you can use the command: % svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/7 stable-7 This should create a local directory called `stable-7' with the full source tree of the CVS branch called `RELENG_7'. If you want to check out the security branch `RELENG_7_1', because you want to get the security bug-fixes of the 7.1 release, you can use: % svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/7.1 Finally, if you want to check out the sources at the time the release of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE was cut, you can use: % svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/7.0.0 Notes: Subversion is a bit wasteful with disk space. A full checkout of the `/head' branch takes more than *double* the space of a CVS checkout. This may, essentially, mean that on systems with limited disk space it may be sensible to stick with CVS checkouts (or NFS mount the `src' directory) for now. `svn update' is a bit faster than `cvs update'. For checkout trees that have no or very little local changes, it is almost blazingly faster than `cvs update'. Keeping a local repository mirror: == There is a tool called `svnsync' that can mirror the entire SVN repository to a local svn repository copy. I am not aware of any tool that can synchronize only *parts* of the repository history though. Its setup is a bit more convoluted than CVSup, and synchronizing into a completely `empty' local mirror will take ages. I will have to

qemu and kqemu - Version mismatch after upgrade
I just ran portsnap fetch update portupgrade -a and I've ended up with a complete disaster with qemu. Am I the only one? Firstly, I was under the impression that updates shouldn't (theoretically of course) upset a running server. I had 2 qemu vm's running which crashed during the process. Secondly, after the upgrade I normally run -kernel-kqemu options, (and I did ensure the install of the kqemu-devel port) but I'm getting the following error: Version mismatch between kqemu module and qemu (00010300 00010400) - disabling kqemu use The system still runs, but given the lack of this accelerator seriously impairs vm use especially with regards networking (ssh, etc). Also, just a note on the ImageMagick port: I've been getting ignore reports from portupgrade, I've done some investigationing into this and it seems that HDRI is broken as per the message (duh!), but in my config HDRI IS disabled, yet it seems the make still enters the define. So in my infinite lack of wisdom I commented out the defines for HDRI and left the config args to --disable-hdri - and hey presto! it installed. Any thoughts?

To explain: something guile needs is built with linux-threads yet this is not
correctly handled and the resulting binaries are flawed, most likely because
another library that guile needs uses FreeBSD native threads.
On FreeBSD threaded linking is done with -pthread linker flag which pulls in
the correct threading library (on 7.0 and above libthr, on 6.x and earlier
libpthread).
