Addition?
Hi there, Cheeky me!? I came across your page with grammar exercises at http://web008.pavilion.net/fr/gallery/npgallery.html and wondered if you might be interested in mentioning my grammar checker? It's located here: http://www.grammarcheck.net/ It's totally free, checks for grammar and spelling mistakes, and gives instant feedback. Please have a look at it before you decide. That would be awesome. Thanks!

Re: Addition to BSDstats
I was just thinking about it, and one point that I don't know if I've ever made (or haven't made in awhile) is that BSDStats looks at who is *using* a *BSD variant, not who *was* ... it relies on being run *at least* once a month for a server to be counted ... if you run it once and never run it again, you only count for that *period*, but fall off the radar relatively quickly. Basically, if someone installed FreeBSD 2 years ago, installed the port and then switched to Linux a year later, even though they are still listed in the system, they are not part of the 'current' states, as they are no longer reporting ... That is why the initial install puts it into /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly, so that it hopefully gets run *at least* at the beginning of each month ... it can be run more often over the month, it will still count as *1* install, but it needs to be run *at least* once a month for a machine to continue to be counted ...

The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in /etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ... The latter two are doable, but havin to do a pkg_add seems to be the part that is being frowned on ... Marc G.

Re: Addition to BSDstats
The backend to bsdstats.org is load balanced behind an haproxy backend, with only the IP of haproxy being passed back into it ... one of the key issues that was brought up from day one was security and anonymity(sp?) of those submitting, and we've taken that *very* seriously ... other then the tokens that are passed back to present individual systems, we do not record anything (or see anything) about the reporting servers ...

OOo3.1 binary addition makes firefox,evolution unlaunchable from desktop
fellow FreeBSDians, I am facinggnome2 issues in freebsd7.2 I installed freebsd7.2 in an IBMT60 lenova notebook,( coreduoe 2.16 Ghz, IGB ram, ATI graphics) I done pkg_add -r xorg, fine created xorg.conf and tested with -retro option, then got mouse detected with blank screen. I used hald and dbus in rc.conf. Then I installed gnome bypkg_add -r gnome2 , fine enabled gdm in rc.conf and able to login and can use Desktop . I can chage Desktop background with .jpeg files everything fine. But when Idownloaded OOo3.1 binaries for 7.2 release from http://lamarelle.lautre.net/OOo/ and pkg_add locally , then it failed , asking me to install python26.x , jbigkit,latest gnutls jpeg from ports instead of what I have in this box, then cups-base, cups-image, cups-client etc . I installed python26, jbigkit, cups-base, cups-image, cups-client. I deinstalled gnutls jpeg ports and installed again them. after this OOo got installed and working fine. But after I rebooted the machinebut issues 1) firefox browser can't launch , what I made wrong how to fix it? 2) Ekiga softphone , Epiphany webbrowser can't launch. how to fix ? 3)in SoundVideo Movie player , swfdec Flash player etch can't launch 4) Evolution Mail calender also can't launced. 5) I can't change Desktop background with .jpeg files , but .png wall papers worked for desktop backgroud. ? what I made wrong, how can I fix these issues, I really need a FreeBSD7.2 Desktop in my this notebook, Please help me with your suggestions expertise, All help much appreciated.

But after I rebooted the machinebut issues 1) firefox browser can't launch , what I made wrong how to fix it? It's possible that Firefox had been linked against the jpeg library you had installed before the upgrade. Upgrading Firefox now should fix this. 2) Ekiga softphone , Epiphany webbrowser can't launch. how to fix ? Maybe the same reason. Can you start it from a terminal session and show the error message? Please do the same with Firefox to check missing library dependencies. 3)in SoundVideo Movie player , swfdec Flash player etch can't launch 4) Evolution Mail calender also can't launced. See above. 5) I can't change Desktop background with .jpeg files , but .png wall papers worked for desktop backgroud. ? Yes, really seems to be the jpeg library. what I made wrong, how can I fix these issues, I really need a FreeBSD7.2 Desktop in my this notebook, As it looks to me, you upgraded the jpeg library to a newer version (to fulfill a requirement of OpenOffice), but the applications you have installed still require the older library that doesn't exist anymore on your system. To fix this, either re-install the older library version (this is what you surely do NOT want because of OpenOffice), or upgrade all applications that depend on the jpeg library. Tools like portmaster or portupgrade can help you with this, so you don't need to upgrade everything manually. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
Now problems with mouse and sound (Re: In addition to - 7.2 panic during installation : AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed !)
Hi, After 6-7 reboots, I managed to get the 7.2-RELEASE installation media to boot and install properly. 2 issues still remain however. 1) No sound : My Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H board has onboard Realtek High Definition Audio. Since I couldn't figure out which driver would work with this, I put sound_enable=YES and snd_driver_load=YES in loader.conf to load all available drivers. Gnome's Volume Control applet still remains crossed out in red, which would mean the system couldn't locate an appropriate driver. 2) No mouse : I am using a Logitech USB mouse and my rc.conf has moused_enable=YES, along with entries for the AUTO protocol and the /dev/ums0 device. However, at boot-time I get the message Module uhub/ums failed to load : 17 followed by a complaint by moused that /dev/ums0 does not exist. There is no mouse cursor on the console at the time I get to the login prompt. There is a wierd way however of getting the mouse to work. Change it from one USB port to another 1-2 times and finally the kernel picks up the mouse and creates /dev/ums0, after which the cursor appears and the mouse works okay. But I have to do this everytime I boot FreeBSD, which doesn't look an attractive option at all. Can somebody please help me with either/both of these issues ? Thanks in advance.

The only thing that strikes me as odd is that right-clicking on My Computer reports the amount of RAM as 768 MB, while the diagnostics above states 1024 MB. For the brief period of time the FreeBSD installer runs, it reports the amount of RAM as 768 MB too.

You haven't exactly told a lot about the network you want to setup. The
logic thing is to authenticate against the firewall connected to the
same subnet - and that will know the mac address. The same setup is
assumed in the scenario using pfauth (or is it authpf).
It sounded a little bit like perhaps he wants to dynamically allow
services temporarily, but firewall them off (using a local machine
firewall rather than a dedicated firewall) all other times. Hazarding
a guess, maybe this is due to the common SSH brute force attacks? :)
If the firewall is PF, it's simple enough to include a table of IPs
for which the service is allowed, and make the CGI on the webpage
issue a pfctl -t table -T add $ENV{REMOTE_IP} command. A separate
process could watch the logs for an ssh logout and remove the IP from
the table when a logout from that IP occurs.
It's a dirty solution. If the problem is specifically the SSH
attacks, there are better ones (denyhosts, or pf rules to block IPs
dynamically when they connect too frequently), but you're right--it's
hard to give good answers when the problem is so ill-defined.

rcng, addition to rc.subr
I am changing /etc/rc.subr. I can now use rc.env.d directories. Each file in the
directory becomes a variable. somewhat like daemontools envdir. It
seemed nice to
include it to rcng.
So with this we can do:
echo 'yes' rc.env.d/sshd/sshd_enable
Am concidering adding the $_command'
name to the variables if there is no _ in the file name.
Then we could do:
echo yes rc.env.d/sshd/enable
Here is the script:
#custom rc.env.d
#used to overide/configure last variables using rc.env.d
if [ -d /data/etc/rc.env.d/$_command ]; then
debug rc.env.d /data/etc/rc.env.d/${_command}
envd_vars=`ls /data/etc/rc.env.d/${_command}` #each file is a var
for envd_file in $envd_vars
do
if [ -f /data/etc/rc.env.d/$_command/$envd_file ]; then
export $envd_file=`head -1
/data/etc/rc.env.d/${_command}/$envd_file`
fi
done
#echo rc.env.d /data/etc/rc.env.d/${_command}
fi
Does this look ok to you ?

Broken apache after upgrade and addition of php4.
I am running FBSD 4.11 with Apache 1.3.33-ssl, now upgraded to 1.3.34-ssl after doing a cvsup plus portupgrade. All continued to work well, with the new 1.3.34 (but not sure if I had done a reboot to put new program into play). I then added php4 via the mod-php4 port. After rebooting, Apache would not run, claiming syntax error in the config file I had added a couple of lines to httpsd.conf as per instructions at the end of the php4 install (have since commented them out again), but httpsd refuses to run.Cannot find any accidental changes to the config file and am stumped.

can you give us `uname -a` outputs? try recompiling your kernel. config the kernel, and do a make depend and make install. that's the old school way of doing it.
