While your offer is made with the best of intentions, I doubt the project would feel able take you up on it. The problem is simply one of security -- while crowd-sourcing package compilation would be a pretty sweet technical solution to much of the scaling and resource cost problems, it offers far too much opportunity for people up-to-no-good to be able to introduce trojans, spyware and so forth. Setting up your own package build system and ftp site -- well, there's nothing preventing you from doing that, but again, it's a trust thing. Unless people can believe in the provenance of the packages you provide, it's not going to be sensible for them to download from you. So it's only people that know you personally, friends, relations, workmates and people that know and trust people willing to trust you; they would be the initial audience for your new package building and distribution thing. Even if you had an enormous social circle all of whom happened to be avid FreeBSD users, I doubt that would actually provide enough demand to make the whole venture worthwhile. The best ways to contribute are (a) to make a donation via the FreeBSD Foundation and (b) take up maintainership on some ports. As ever in any project of this type, most of the work goes through smoothly and it's that minority of problem ports that eat up so much of the time. Maintained ports have fewer problems. Some of the more paranoid amongst you may be asking yourselves if, in the light of what I say above, you really can trust packages from anywhere other than the official ftp.freebsd.org server. Locations like (for example) ftp.uk.freebsd.org (which, although blessed as an official mirror site, is run by a completely different set of people.) The answer is somewhere on the 'probably -- maybe' continuum. Can you actually trust the people running the mirror site? (In the case of ftp.uk.freebsd.org, as of a day or so ago that's the UK mirror service run by the University of Kent who are clearly of unimpeachable reputation.) Implementing digital signatures on packages would go a long way to removing that uncertainty.

Serial Console activation causes system freeze (8.2-Stable)
Greetings,
Ι have followed the guide about setting up the serial console:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html
Ι have done this many times with no problems to other servers.
For the first time I have a very strange problem in this particular server:
After seeing some kernel messages, Ι see garbage characters, the machine hangs
completely and only a hard reset can be done.
The garbage characters appear just before the uart initilization.
The last messages that I can see in the serial console:
atapci2: Intel 6300ESB SATA150 controller port
0xa800-0xa807,0xa480-0xa483,0xa400-0xa407,0xa080-0xa083,0xa000-0xa00f irq 18 at

== at this point the whole machine freezes! (notice that
in the previous case the kernel hangs before any getty is initialized)
If I disable the serial console in loader.conf and boot.config then I have
normal boot:

zip to exe utility
Hi All I have spent a good while looking for a utility that needs to perform a very specific task, I need to take a zip file and convert it in to self-extracting archive that can be distributed to Windows client machines. There are some specific requirements that it has to fulfil:- Specify the extraction location when the file is created e.g. e:\foldername The extraction process needs to be able to operate silently with no end user interaction.

Re: FreeBSD license vs /usr/bin/true license
You might have to re-write it from scratch. It's still copyrighted by the university. I'd say write it in c++ to dispel all doubt that you didn't copy. Then true and groff will be c++. There's still software in the tree that uses the four clause license. But because of the advertising clause, you can't really talk about it or else you have to list it.

I typed locale and it shows LC_COLLATE and LC_ALL are set to C thought that was enough to work, however when i type metacharacters: set character; any character, something like this: ls [a-cx-y]* bash does not sort in dictionary order; file Binarc does not list. *OF*COURSE* it doesn't. Unix is _case_sensitive_. You specified a lower- case only (in the C locale) pattern. Naturally, it doesn't match a file with an upper-case character in it. Note: in the 'C' locale, characters are sorted on the underlying byte value. Thus you will get all the upper-case matches before any lower-case match. To get upper-and-lower case files in the C locale, you will have to use: ls [A-CX-Ya-cx-y]* IF you speciy a different charset for collating, you _may_ get upper/lower case characters sorted adjacently. See the specifications for the charset in question. Thanks for reply! I meant LC_COLLATE being set to en_US.UTF-8 not C. linux and solaris shows both upper and lowercase when set characters like [a-cx-y] and others are used. when LC_COLLATE is set to en_US.UTF-8.

no borders with firefox, terminal (xfce on FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 STABLE)

Securely sharing directories between jails
L.S., I want to set up my system in a way where applications are clustered over jails, e.g. a httpd, smbd and dbmsd jail. However, in most cases I need to share data over the jails, which is stored on the host. Often, nullfs and mounting ro is suitable, but I need write access in some cases. As nullfs rw over multiple jails can be considered insecure, I was wondering what would be a secure way. The only thing I could come up with was having both a NFS server and client running on the host and mounting such that all access is mapped to an account with less privileges. However, it seems like a waste to NFS with yourself. Thus, are there any better ways to achieve this? (I also thought of using nosuid flags, but I'm not sure if this is enough.)
