difference between cvsup and csup?
Hello guys, I notice FreeBSD is now using (and probably has been for a while) csup instead of cvsup. The parameters looking identical - at least from the no-gui perspective.

forcing TLS auth in /usr/ports/qmail-tls install
Hi all, Not sure if this is the right spot to ask, but it seems to be particularly pertaining to FreeBSD installations. So here I am. I'm trying to install qmail-tls. The installation is successful - almost right out of the ports. Now I'm trying configure qmail such that only TLS auth is allowed through from the mail client. Digging through the previous related forums, I hope to find the clean solution via this route: http://qmail.jms1.net/tls-auth.shtml It mentions that the config can be put in /service/smtp/run, which in the FreeBSD context it does not exist. I tried to set similar environment variables before calling tcpserver, but it does not work either. Can someone advise what is the equivalent in FBSD8.1? Much appreciated. ___ 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

getting mono/ asp.net on fbsd to reload modified files
Hi all, I'm posting this mail to the mono mailing list as well as the FreeBSD list: I'm trying to learn mono's asp.net on mod_mono + Apache22 + FreeBSD 8.1. I've been working on IIS7 + Microsoft's asp.net, so I'm trying to recreate a similar development experience. One of the things I'm stumbling over now, is that code files like .aspx and .cs files don't seem to get recognised by asp.net after the first time it's been auto-compiled.

simplest way to get gnome/ kde up and running
Hi guys, I've been trying without luck to get KDE/ Gnome configured. I've been reading and re-reading (and trying and re-trying) to get the window manager running, but it's been driving me nuts. - How far I've gotten: 1. Installing Xorg from the DVD package is easy. I've added the hald_enable and dbus_enable to /etc/rc.conf 2. Xorg -configure looks like it's working too: i get the skeleton outlined window manager that I believe is fwm 3. Xorg -configure xorg.conf.new -retro works too - Where I'm stuck: 1. So far ~/.xinitrc is missing. But I followed the Handbank anyway and did this: echo /usr/local/bin/gnome-session ~/.xinitrc 2. Running startx crashes now because it complains /usr/local/bin/gnome-session is missing - that's true. Am I missing something?

what is your programming language on freebsd?
Hi there, Earlier I was asking for some help getting XSP/ mod_mono on FreeBSD. I may be asking in the wrong mailing list, but my impression is that mono on FreeBSD is generally not a popular idea. To pose my questions to the developers in the FreeBSD community: 1. What programming language(s) do you deploy on FreeBSD? 2. Is FreeBSD more optimised in performance for any particular language? 3. Is FreeBSD even a popular choice as a development platform, or is it better suited as a special-purpose OS (eg. mail server, DNS server)?

Re: Shorten delay in sending mail to SMTP
Hello Lowell and Chuck, Thanks for the reply. What happens during the sending of any email, is that my Thunderbird will show 'Connected to mail.xyz.com...' for a couple of seconds. Bear in mind that my (test) mails are very short, so it can't be due to data transfer. After that the text says sending mail and stuff like that. All of which take rather insignificant time. The other thing that may be responsible is that my mail server does smtp authentication. But I don't really think this will be a culprit, as I have other mail clients that do local mail delivery only and hence do not need authentication. And these clients hit the same few-second wait as well. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

It's certainly possible to disable DNS lookups entirely, and that might help reduce the delay you see, but in that case you'll have to configure qmail to relay all mail to the equivalent of a sendmail SMART_HOST (ie, to your ISP's SMTP relay), which performs MX lookups and so forth instead of your local qmail doing so. It is only recommended to use an MTA spawned from inetd if your traffic volume is very low-- probably well under 1000 messages/day. If your traffic level is higher, you should run your MTA as a daemon and not through inetd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Shorten delay in sending mail to SMTP
Olivier, I have no visibility on the delay on which external smtp servers deliver mails to my mail server. Once a mail is sent out of my mail client, the mail can be received immediately through my imap client. To give a more detailed picture on load, my Qmail does not really a heavy load. I'd say at 9 times out of 10 there are no mails in the queue. Everything is stored locally so I have no reason to suspect internal network delays and all. My suspicion with the delay being related to dns lookups, is partially also because I wait a couple of seconds less when I am sending from within the same service provider. Yet when I (for example go home and) send from another service provider, the delay is longer (by a couple more seconds). Do note that I am on all tests on broadband, so we can assume network delay is negligible. Can anyone confirm that Qmail/ inetd/ FreeBSD does some form of dns lookup on it's SMTP? Do you receive email from outside world on this machine? Do you think there is the same delay? How do you notice the delay? After Thunderbird mentionned that the email was successfully sent, you immdiately try to get new email from your inbox and it takles time? How big is your inbox? What mailbox format are you using? Are the disk local or network mounted? How much loaded is your machine? How many emails do you receive at time? Do you read with pop or imap? Are pop/imap launched by inetd or they are daemonized? Do you have any anti virus/spam facility? Do you implement some fancy MDA like procmail? Remember that email is not instant messaging, but store and forward: it is a slow and batch processing, it is dessign to support delay and certainly the design should generate some. If the delay remains 5 seconds when your server process 1 or 1 messages per hour, then there is nothing to worry about. Authentication should effect only to sending, it deals with the communication between Thunderbird and qmail. It has nothing to do with reading your mailbox and should have nothing to do with the in between delay.

I've read some articles on mirroring on non-equal disks, notably: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ My question is: is there an easier way to do this? The example looks quiet daunting for a noobie FreeBSD admin like me. I would use gmirror. The example page you cite is very thorough and covers multiple scenarios. I have found gmirror to be extremely easy to use and set up; much more so than gvinum or even ataraid. Gmirrror allows you to use any geom provider as a member (consumer) of a mirrored set. That includes entire disks (e.g. ad4), slices (e.g. ad4s1), partitions (e.g. ad4s1a), or even other complex structures (such as a gstripe set). The only hard part is going to be labeling the 120GB disk correctly. You will most likely want to do it manually using bsdlabel. One approach would be something like the following. Assume ad4 is the 120GB disk and ad6 is the 80GB disk. Boot up using a FreeBSD install disk and go into Fixit mode. # fdisk -BI /dev/ad6 (it's safe to ignore the warning here) # bsdlabel -Bw /dev/ad6s1 # sysctl kern.module_path=/dist/boot/kernel # gmirror load # gmirror label -b load shared /dev/ad6s1a (shared is the name of your volume.. you can use whatever you want) # gmirror list (will show you details about your new broken mirror. Make a note of the Mediasize number listed under the consumer.) # fdisk -BI /dev/ad4 (it's safe to ignore the warning here) # bsdlabel -Bw /dev/ad4s1 (these are only needed if you don't like/don't know how to use vi) # EDITOR=ee # export EDITOR # bsdlabel -e /dev/ad4s1 Now comes the tricky part. The number shown on the c: line of the label is the number of 512-byte sectors on the disk. It's good practice to leave 16 sectors unused at the beginning of the disk; you can see this in the default whole-disk a: line. Figure out how big you need to make the slice for the other side of the mirror by dividing the Mediasize number you noted previously by 512. Then figure out how big you want your swap (if any--you didn't mention any above) and /temp partitions by multiplying out to the number of bytes then dividing by 512. Add all of that up plus the 16-sector space at the beginning and subtract from the size (c: line) to determine how much is left for /. Calculate all the offsets and put in the fstype (either 4.2BSD or swap), and put zeroes in the other columns. As a reference, here is one of my disks: # /dev/ad4s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 6291456 10485024.2BSD0 0 0 b: 1048486 16 swap c: 1563125130unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 117266625 390458884.2BSD0 0 0 e: 31705930 73399584.2BSD0 0 0 Save the label and exit the editor. Now to finish up: # gmirror insert shared /dev/ad4s1e (be sure to use the actual partition device you set up above) # newfs -U /dev/mirror/shared ( /shared ) # newfs -U /dev/ad4s1a ( / ) # newfs -U /dev/ad4s1d ( /temp ) Then exit fixit mode and do a Standard installation. Don't let sysinstall re-label or newfs anything, just specify the mount points for your / and /shared filesystems. You'll have to mount the mirror after you're done with setup (just put it in /etc/fstab manually). Obviously, you should understand what all of the above does before you do any of it, and may need to make changes. Good luck, and feel free to ask additional questions.

Hi guys, I'm using FBSD6.0. I've done the latest cvsup on the ports, installed apache 2.0.59 and mod_perl 2.0.2,3 and and trying to install libapreq2-2.0.08. Halfway through the compilation, I get this error: cc -shared .libs/util.o .libs/version.o .libs/cookie.o .libs/param.o .libs/parser.o .libs/parser_urlencoded.o .libs/parser_header.o .libs/parser_multipart.o .libs/module.o .libs/module_custom.o .libs/module_cgi.o .libs/error.o -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib/apache2 -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib/apache2 /usr/local/lib/apache2/libapr-0.so /usr/local/lib/apache2/libaprutil-0.so -lexpat -liconv -lm -lcrypt -L/usr/local -Wl,-soname -Wl,libapreq2.so.8 -o .libs/libapreq2.so.8 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat gmake[2]: *** [libapreq2.la] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libapreq2/work/libapreq2-2.08/library' gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libapreq2/work/libapreq2-2.08/library' gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I've tried recompiling expat, but that did not change the problem. Can any kind soul please drop some hints as to what may be the problem? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
why my daemon did not start
Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple RC script to run my little Perl script as
a daemon. The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
portal_enable=${portal_enable-NO}
portal_flags=${portal_flags-}
portal_pidfile=/var/run/portald.pid
. /etc/rc.subr
name=portald
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=/home/admin/perfectportal/portald.pl
load_rc_config $name
pidfile=${portal_pidfile}
start_cmd=echo \Starting ${name}.\; /usr/bin/nice -5 ${command}
${portal_flags} ${command_args}
stop_cmd=kill `cat /var/run/portald.pid`
run_rc_command $1
If I were to run this manually via
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/portald.sh start
it works. but in a reboot, it does not start.
Can anyone guide me where to find the error message, or (even better) what may
be the problem? Thanks.

Re: FreeBSD Support (Commerical)
FreeBSD offers non-commercial support through mailing-lists and doc-project (FAQs and Handbooks) which is probably the most comprehensive, active and effective support there is. It's a blame game as much as it is a genuine need for commercial help. As much as mailing lists and community support are strong and effective, that's not the kind of comfort level that corporates are going for, especially if they are betting their million-dollar product/ server on it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
