I don't know why in the first one is reported 2.26 as in fact it seems the procedure to upgrade to 2.12. Maybe some parts are dynamically (but wrongly) generated. I thought so too. Anyway the correct procedure is described in the 2nd link. Sorry again and good luck for the upgrade! Thanks. It's what I am using, since the upgrade script seems to have been obsoleted.

Building file server for multi-tera capacity
Hi we plan a FreeBSD server which can host at least 20 Terabyte of data. The system will be shipped with FreeBSD 7 or 8 and will be based on a NexSAN SAS Beast. We would like to know if anybody has tried FreeBSD with NexSAN products and particularly if he has a suggestion about a solid HBA. Also we would like to hear your opinion about ZFS with this configuration.

Question about amd64 tier1 status.
Hi, I´m a FreeBSD user from 4.0 version to Current (i386 arch). I've recently switched to a amd64 machine and consecuently to the amd64 version of the OS. You claim the amd64 version enjoys Tier 1 Status, but in the page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html under the point 12.2 Tier 1: Fully Supported Architectures i read: Tier 1 architectures are expected to be fully supported by the ports system. All the ports should build on a Tier 1 platform, or have the appropriate filters to prevent the inappropriate ones from building there. The packaging system must support all Tier 1 architectures. To ensure an architecture's Tier 1 status, proponents of that architecture must show that all relevant packages can be built on that platform. At this moment is not possible to run Wine on a amd64 version of Freebsd due to problems of the amd64 kernel handling segment registers, ldt segments or something like that (too technical for me to explain right but the point is that it doesn´t work). No matter which way you try (port, 32 bit package, etc) there is no report of success as far as i know. My question is: Is Wine a non relevant port (I don't thik so) or the amd64 version of FreeBSD doesn't meet the requirements to be considered a Tier 1 Architecture ? Hope you will excuse my poor english. Greetings and best wishes.

If you switch to another major version of FreeBSD, the best course is to remove and reinstall all ports. All ports depending on libc. Which is everything except scripts. Removal isn't necessary. ports-mgmt/portmaster is one of those scripts that doesn't need recompilation and can be used to force recompilation of all ports that need it. Two for one deal. I personally do make delete-old-libs /before/ recompiling ports this way, because 1) I'm sure a port doesn't link to an old library and 2) the ports that failed will complain more loudly. However, when you're doing this for the first time, it's not a bad idea to make a seperate slice for current and cross-install on there (the procedure is documented in /usr/src/UPDATING). It's trivial to look at the stable slice's /var/db/pkg and install all those ports, then copy over configuration files. /home can be share without problems, providing you create the users again with the same uid. The advantage is that you have a workable system to fall back on whenever -current breaks something you need. -- Mel ___ 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

Or a port? I tried ports-mgmt/pkg_tree but it only seems to work with installed ports. I don't care if I get duplicates as long as every dependency is listed at least once. Thanks Chris make all-depends-list Two things: 1) It surpresses config target and if a port has OPTIONS set, then you may get surprised once you've configured the port and ticked/unticked an option 2) It includes EXTRACT_DEPENDS, PATCH_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS, which typically don't end up in run dependencies. Looking at the subject this may not be what you need. make -C /usr/ports/category/portname -V LIB_DEPENDS -V RUN_DEPENDS will list the dependencies that will be registered in /var/db/pkg. Recurse through the list, take the second field split by : and run the above for each origin. Something like the script below, which calls the config target if not configured, remembers already visited dependencies and then prints the runtime dependency list. Thanks Mel and Tim. I am trying to determine how much disk space the distfiles for a port would use. I can get the file size from the distinfo file in the port directory. So I need to list dependencies for which a distfile would be downloaded. I guess my question now is which targets or variables need to be included to achieve that. (I know it includes build dependencies. I didn't include build deps in the subject because I figured replies would give me the principle and I could expand from that.) I took a guess at the existence of BUILD_DEPENDS and added it into the script. Running the modified script on multimedia/vlc I get the same number of dependencies as make all-depends-list so make all-depends-list is the same as make -V LIB_DEPENDS -V RUN_DEPENDS -V BUILD-DEPENDS for vlc. Is that all I need for any port? EXTRACT_DEPENDS can matter when distfiles are delivered in formats for which you don't have an unarchiver installed (7zip/zip/cabextract being the most common).

That's what I suspected you were saying yesterday, and it seems to be wrong. Try this (assuming you haven't already configured/installed net/freeradius2 and security/krb5) cd /usr/ports/net/freeradius2 make all-depends-list make config# select Kerberos make all-depends-list make -C /usr/ports/security/krb5 config# unselect documentation for krb5 make all-depends-list make -C /usr/ports/security/krb5 rmconfig make rmconfig You will get three different lists of dependencies: in the first case, the main port (net/freeradius2) has the default OPTIONS and doesn't depend on security/krb5 or its dependencies. In the second case you will find teTeX and its dependencies in the list as they are dependencies of krb5 in its default setting. In the third case, you have changed an OPTION of security/krb5 to remove its dependency on teTeX, and net/freeradius2 correctly removes the teTeX dependency from its all-depends-list. This certainly looks like all-depends-list correctly taking account of the changed OPTIONS in the target port and all its dependencies. What *is* a problem is make config-recursive, which doesn't take account of any dependencies added as a result of OPTIONS changes made during the config-recursive process. This is relatively easily fixed, as make config-recursive actually runs make config-conditional for everything in all-depends-list, so if you keep running make config-recursive until nothing happens you can be reasonably sure you've dealt with all the unexpected dialogues that might otherwise pop up. This is worth knowing if you like doing overnight unattended installs and don't want to accept default settings (so can't use BATCH=yes). Until I discovered it I had immense frustration setting an installation/upgrade running only to come back the next day and find a dialogue sitting on the screen.

Re: firefox3 gets stuck/freezing for 30 seconds every 30 seconds
Since a week now my firefox3 got stuck and freezing for 30 seconds (approx.) every 30 seconds. I'm running a SMP box with FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64, OS is most recent. I also recompiled firefox3, dbus, libX11 and xcb (maybe senseless since I do not know what causes the freezing/hungs), but without success. By the way, perl-5.10 is installed and every port has been recompiled depending on perl. So ... I'm floating like a dead man in the water. What can I do? Something like this happened to me. I have i386 CURRENT cvsup'ed yesterday. Do you have flash support with nspluginwrapper ? Do you have linux-f8 and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 ? If both are true, please try compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 and switch back to f4. With these settings problems vanished in my case, may be they will work for you too.

If you switch to another major version of FreeBSD, the best course is
to remove and reinstall all ports.
All ports depending on libc. Which is everything except
scripts. Removal isn't necessary. ports-mgmt/portmaster is one of
those scripts that doesn't need recompilation and can be used to force
recompilation of all ports that need it. Two for one deal.
Unfortunately, no port management tool deals completely with this

Yes, that's right. However, portmaster is capable of ignoring ports for
updating using +IGNOREME files in the corresponding /var/db/pkg/pkgname
directory. You can invest a little time before the upgrade which ports you can
skip this way. On the other hand, reinstalling script only ports, probably
takes less time then figuring this out. YMMV.
I tend to make a list of all installed ports (with portmaster -L), wipe
all ports and remove any remains from /usr/local. Then reinstall all
ports listed as 'root ports' and 'leaf ports' in said list. This makes
sure you have a clean and consistent set of ports.
I guess I'm just anti-redoing-configuration, since there's so many formats out
there. One can of course backup ${LOCALBASE}/etc --exclude rc.d, but the
number of exceptions grows over time (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, /usr/local/squid/*,
/usr/local/pgsql/data/*, /usr/local/hybserv/*).
I also see an advantage to your method. I've been running into incorrect
PLISTs more often, which can leave traces of old files.

Disabling touchpad on USB keyboard
Hi, I have a Lenovo USB keyboard with trackpoint and touchpad (UltraNav), but I really want to get rid of the touchpad as it just gets in my way. But I can't find a way to do this in FreeBSD (using 7.0-RELEASE). I've seen the question asked in a couple of places but I've found no answer so I figured I'd try here. Since it is not a laptop-internal keyboard, I cannot change any BIOS settings, and since it is USB, I cannot use the psm-based synaptics driver settings in xorg.conf (or related utilities). The UltraNav-related parts identifies as follows in in dmesg: uhid0: Lite-On Tech IBM USB Keyboard with UltraNav, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.16, addr ums1: Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.20, ad ums1: 3 buttons. ums2: Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.20, addr 6 on uhub6 ums2: 3 buttons. So my guess is that one of ums1/ums2 is the touchpad and the other is the trackpoint. In which case I feel that I should be able to get rid of one of them. moused detects both immeditely, so both units work fine under X. So I'd like to just tell moused to somehow ignore one of these devices, which hopefully would get rid of the touchpad while keeping the trackpoint intact. But I can't figure out how to do that. Is there some setting somewhere for moused or something more general for USB devices that lets me do this? Or if that approach is doomed, are there any other tricks I can do to accomplish this?

What you want is'Xorg -configure' Note the uppercase 'X' on Xorg and in the 'X -config' command below. Then, after it makes the xorg.conf.new file in the home directory (root's - hopefully you are doing this from root) you run 'X -config xorg.conf.new' to check it out. NOTE: that Xorg and X are also in /usr/local/bin. That needs to be in your path. After that, edit the xorg.conf.new file and add in a subsection Display under the screen section to give the resolution for the monitor screen under the correct depth level. Looks something like: SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes 1280x1024 EndSubSection but with your correct depth and Modes. Then, get rid of (comment out) all the other subsection Display blocks that don't apply to your machine. You could have more than one, but generally not on an LCD screen. Finally, copy that xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf After that, it is a matter of playing around with your window manager and desktop utility. jerry kenneth ___ 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 ___ 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

Just open(2) /dev/tty. If tty is invalid, then you don't have to expect a
user either.
Thanks for this hint. I tried to implement an example. Good someone take a
look at it and tell me if I did it right. Well, at least it works...
The code is here:
http://gist.github.com/95320
It is really much simpler, see below for code:
% cat tty.c | ./tty
1: #include stdio.h
1: #include err.h
snip
Hello!
2: Hello!
quit
(Don't focus on the 80char linebuf, I just know for this example I don't need
more).
/dev/tty is the controlling terminal input. Stdin is the standard input,
which is either the receiving end of a pipe/redirection or the controlling
terminal in it's absence.
To avoid further spamming of the freebsd-questions mailing list: Could
someone point me to a good place to ask C programming questions?
O'Reilly has a few good titles (Practical C programming is a good primer,
followed by Algorithms with C), other then that, comp.lang.c newsgroup.

Re: Problem: FreeBSD 7.x ssh v2 nss_ldap

When someone logs on using ssh protocol version 2 the session will not be initialized correctly. The user will only get his primary group affiliation but no affiliation to other groups (memberUid attribute in LDAP group entries). On 7.1 the ssh login process hangs forever with open ldap queries, on 7.0 the group list is incomplete. On several 6.x systems, all works correctly. I have used the configuration for years now. There are some workarounds I found: a) use ssh protocol version 1 b) set UseLogin to yes in sshd_config c) avoid ssl encryption in communication to ldap server (ldap://... uri instead of ldaps://... in ldap.conf) Does anybody see similar problems? Does anybody have an idea what may couse the problem? I recently submitted ports/133501 regarding this issue, but I have not yet received a response. My workaround was to disable pthread_atfork support, so the problem might be related to the change from libkse to libthr in RELENG_7. I tried your patch to see if it made any change for the nss_ldap UNIX socket leak, but sadly no change. I never observed the SSH2 problems you guys mention, but then again I'm usually using key authentication. I'll run with the patch anyway and see if it makes any change to the problem where login(1) is only able to authenticate me after 30s of idling.

Re: passwd file transfer
In the last episode (Apr 16), gahn said: we have a linux based system and it will be replaced with freebsd based system. but i would like to reuse users' password. is there any better way to do this? There's an awk script at the bottom of the passwd(5) manpage that will convert a non-BSD passwd file to BSD's master.passwd format. Make sure you run pwunconv on the Linux box to merge your passwords from /etc/shadow back into /etc/passwd before running the awk script. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=passwdsektion=5 -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ 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

PDF Authoring tool, suggestions?
I'm looking for recommendations for a BSD-friendly, PDF authoring tool (Not a viewer, see below.) I have an image of a signature that I need to put into a PDF document. I converted the original, un-signed PDF document to a raster PNG, then used GIMP to place a photograph of the signature where I need it. I then converted the PNG back to a PDF using ImageMagick's 'convert' utility. The problem, is the PDF is now HUGE. Both in dimensions as well as file size. It went from 28kb to 292Kb.

If you are happy with rsh authentication, then have you looked at plain old rcp? I reviewed carefully all feedback I received, and since then, I loosely benchmarked my options.

I was using a Windows binary version of SCP that is clearly lacking somewhere in the stack. FBSD to FBSD produced the above results. The 100Mb infrastructure hops one router and two switches, and the gig makes a hop across one edge router, a core router, and three switches.
