Hi,
again, a strange question: I'd like to know if there is a builtin
means to let the csh's (or bash's) prompt show an information if
the current dialog session has been opened via SSH from another
system. The obvious is:
m...@sys1:~% ssh m...@sys2
m...@sys2:~% _
I'd like the second prompt that I've been logged into sys2 by
sys1, such as
m...@sys1sys2:~% _
or reverse
m...@sys2sys1:~% _
or something similar, like the complex form with different user
names, such as
m...@sys1:~% ssh b...@sys2
m...@sys1b...@sys2:~% _
Is this possible with the means given by the shell? I read man
csh, but found nothing that would fit.
Maybe it's not possible (because not intended)...
In tcsh there's the REMOTEHOST env variable. Don't know about bash.
Something like:
set prompt = ${us...@${host}${REMOTEHOST}
should do it?

That's an approach, it it makes the upper stage visible;
it works in bash, too.
For interactive shells, I would include a test if $REMOTEHOST
is set, and if it is, then it's a SSH session, so a different
prompt has to be set.

If you decide to recompile the ports using portupgrade, portmaster or a similar tool, rather than, as Pieter suggested, deleting them and re-installing, make sure your ports are up to date before upgrading the system. That way you are less likely to run into problems when recompiling them after upgrading. After running mergemaster, do a make delete-old to remove any 7.2 binaries remaining (libraries still in use won't be deleted). I usually do this while still in single user, but I believe it can be done in multi user as well. After upgrading the ports, cd to /usr/src and do a make delete-old-libs. If you upgrade them using portupgrade, portmaster or a similar tool, do the delete-old-libs AFTER all ports are successfully upgraded. The reason for this is that the ports you have installed are still linked to the 7.2 libraries. If you decide to delete all ports, delete them before upgrading the system, then do the delete-old and delete-old-libs before installing any new ports. I usually delete all ports and re-install the essential ones after upgrading, but I've tried the portupgrade approach too, and both have worked well for me. The latter approach is more time consuming, but ensures you have all your ports after the upgrade, while the former approach takes less time and may help get rid of ports you no longer need.

I have about a dozen FreeBSD boxes serving a dedicated function. Among other things these machines run a local copy of Firefox, which is updated rapidly by a CGI script. These machines were at 6.2 STABLE, and Firefox 1.x. I am upgrading them to 7.2 STABLE, and Firefox 3. Historically memory leaks in Firefox cause us to have to write a watchdog script that killed it an restarted it about once a day, based upon it's active memory set. One of the new machines has been up for several days without having to do this. This is not totally unexpected,as I thought that this had bee improved, if not fixed in newer versions of Firefox. However, I have been keeping a close look on memory utilization using cricket (which acquires it's data using SNMP) and I am blown away by what I am seeing historically ucd_sys free ram has hovered around zero on these systems, Now it grows over time! These machines do have a stable set of applications, and I can rationally see how a well designed kernel might be aggressively freeing RAM given this.

As someone else said -- that depends on how you define a paragraph in the file. If any time there's a newline you've got a new paragraph, you can just use a simple substitution regex to replace all instances of one newline with two newlines. If some of your paragraphs are already separated by two newlines, you could just use \n+ in the matching part of your substitution regex to indicate that you want any instance of one or more newlines in succession to be replaced with exactly two newlines -- if that doesn't screw up some other formatting you have in the file. In order to answer this question properly, we'd need to know more about how you define paragraph in this context, and whether there are special cases of non-paragraph formatting that might cause conflicts with paragraph formatting while doing a substitution. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgph68SyEyeB2.pgp Description: PGP signature

As someone else said -- that depends on how you define a paragraph in the file. If any time there's a newline you've got a new paragraph, you can just use a simple substitution regex to replace all instances of one newline with two newlines. If some of your paragraphs are already separated by two newlines, you could just use \n+ in the matching part of your substitution regex to indicate that you want any instance of one or more newlines in succession to be replaced with exactly two newlines -- if that doesn't screw up some other formatting you have in the file. In order to answer this question properly, we'd need to know more about how you define paragraph in this context, and whether there are special cases of non-paragraph formatting that might cause conflicts with paragraph formatting while doing a substitution. precisely. in this case, every paragraph that is not on a newline wraps. so anything that has an EOL is a new paragraph. there are a few places that require different formatting; these are easily re-done thanks to OOo! -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ 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

pf nuttyness
I'm at the end of my rope here with PF. I have a ruleset loaded, that is long and complicated...but I've shortened to to a pass all rule. The box has 4 interfaces, one for pfsync, one for me to connect to it, and two bridged interfaces. The only traffic on the bridged interfaces is STP and IP multicast traffic from my EIGRP routers. When I run pfctl -s rules -v, the EIGRP multicast traffic never hits any rules...yet it's allowed. I'm on FreeBSD 7.1. Has anyone else come across this before? I'm ready to throw out FreeBSD 7.1 and try OpenBSD for pf use...which would be a shame since I use FreeBSD for all my other servers, and having 2 OpenBSD boxes would just be... weird... --Brian -- _-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_-=-_ Brian McCann I don't have to take this abuse from you -- I've got hundreds of people waiting to abuse me. -- Bill Murray, Ghostbusters ___ 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

It is - oh big surprise - the Compose key that acts quite the same way that you described. It enables the user to compose a new character by pressing its components one after another. I'm almost sure that this functionality can be forced upon other modifier keys, such as press shift - now shift mode is on for the next character, press '1', and you get '!'; now shift mode is off again. The same could work for the other modifiers (ctrl, meta, alt, alt-gr). In fact, Meta just works this way, e. g. in the Midnight Commander. For Meta-c, you press Esc, then c. The PC keyboard usually does not come with a Meta key, so this solution is very welcome. It can even emulate PF keys when the terminal emulation doesn't support them, e. g. PF2 = Esc, 2. everybody on this list has learned that forethought and planning beat typing speed! You are so right with that statement.

rTorrent and XML-RPC
Hello. I am ultimately trying to install rtgui 0.2.7, which is a frontend for the rtorrent bit torrent client. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2, and I've installed apache22, mod_scgi, xmlrpc-c-devel, and rtorrent-devel from ports. rtorrent works great on the CLI as-is; I've been using it for downloading torrents for months with no problems. However, to make rtgui work, I have to get XML-RPC working within rtorrent first, and that's the entirety of my problem - this post isn't actually about rtgui at all. Instead, it's about a problem I'm having with XML-RPC, either in rtorrent itself, or in Apache or mod_scgi... I can't actually tell which. Here's what I've done so far: I've added this line to .rtorrent.rc: scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000 Now, when I start up rtorrent, it logs this information: (17:07:59) XMLRPC initialized with 517 functions. (17:07:59) The SCGI socket is bound to a specific network device yet may still pose a security risk, consider using 'scgi_local'. I assume that this means that XML-RPC is working properly with rtorrent, but I have no way to test this. I'm also running Apache 2.2, and I've added the following lines to httpd.conf: LoadModule scgi_module libexec/apache22/mod_scgi.so (...snip...) SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000 However, when I restart apache, I get the following message in the error log, repeated once every few seconds: [Tue Nov 24 17:15:56 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/htdoc/default/RPC2 I have tried to use the xmlrpc command line binary[0] to test Apache's XML-RPC connection to rtorrent[1], but it gives me an error message. m...@box cd /usr/ports/net/xmlrpc-c-devel/work/xmlrpc-c-1.18.00/tools/xmlrpc/ m...@box ./xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods Failed. Call failed. HTTP response code is 404, not 200. (XML-RPC fault code -504) And now I'm in over my head. Has anyone successfully installed rtorrent + xmlrpc support on FreeBSD before, and, if so, would you be willing to steer me in the right direction? I feel like I must be missing something simple (in large part because I could find nothing useful on Google when I searched for that Apache error message, of course replacing /usr/local/www/htdoc/default with an asterisk), but I've been banging my head against the wall for quite a while and I could use some help. Searching for the xmlrpc error message has also turned up nothing. One thing in particular I'm confused about is where it's actually broken. Is XML-RPC support working in rtorrent, but failing in Apache/mod_scgi? Or is it broken in rtorrent despite the messages that rtorrent is presenting, such that when Apache tries to connect to rtorrent via XML-RPC, it doesn't work through no fault of Apache's or mod_scgi's? If someone knows a way to test this, I'd also appreciate hearing it. Thanks very much. - Micah [0] I can't tell if I'm missing something or what, but the port for xmlrpc-c-devel doesn't seem to install the xmlrpc binary anywhere, even though it does build it, so I'm just calling it from the build directory. [1] This procedure is outlined on rtorrent's XML-RPC wiki page: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide. In particular, the system.listMethods call is a valid function, per that page.___ 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

Tunning 8.0 for multiple VMs (VBox)
Hi to all; I have a system where I will be running 5 VBox VMs (3 W2K3, 1 XP 1 Linux) for a lab simulation (work obligations). I have already ran the 5 VMs with a regular load on each and everything went fine. I think VBox is truly a great VM Manager, and it runs better (smoother and faster) in FBSD than in any other OS I tried it (Ubuntu, Winblows and OpenSolaris (!) ). Along the years, I've been running FBSD, picking up info from any Tuning FreeBSD guide I could find, starting with the handbook of course, going through articles and mailing list archives, trying to find a balance that would fit my desktop, among the several roles FreeBSD is used for. I would like to expose the hardware/settings I have now to the list, to see if what I've done is appropriate, over or under rated (or simply stupid), to squeeze every drop of performance FreeBSD can give with what I have. It is pretty fast as it is but it never hurts attempting to make it even better. Please bear 2 things in mind: 1) I am trying to learn here; 2) This is a Desktop machine (not a server!), sitting on my home LAN, behind a properly configured (again, to the best of my modest ability) firewall. It is used for everyday tasks, plus developing and music production. I am posting what I believe to be most relevant. Thank you all before hand for any advice.

I use xterm and the browser and the files we created ourselves for storing info. The GUI is a HP thing and I dont like it. It has too many photo features and other things we dont need since my wife has a dedicated Box she uses for photos and videos. Our mini is for using while traveling and keeping up with finances while were on the go etc. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + email: n...@hdk5.net All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ 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
