Wow! dunno what i would do without a tool like this.  it
uses three templates for C/C++, fortran, and pascal[?].
builds neat auto makefiles that seem to work anywhere.  i.e.:
bsd and linux.  probly all nixes.

well, i'll spend a few hours for the weekends ahead and port
to ubuntu.  --note that i do not know how to add anything to
the linux packages and wont even try.

tx, polyt, appreciate it

Anything like mkmf for foo linux?

2011-11-02 Thread Gary Kline

i asked the seattle linux group and the mkmf they have on/for ubuntu
was fine.  not by me.

i started to port our mkmf which is non-trivial at best.  so:: are
there any other kinds of makefile creators in ports that i can use
on my FBSD server AND SEE IF UBUNTU HAS A SIMILAR PACKAGE?

fwiw,i HAVE PORTED A FEW THINGS ACROSS.  dunno what id do w/out the
src!!

thanks,

gary

Folks (mostly Adam),

Hang on a sec.  I think I misread what my friend said.
Following is a snip of what he said was good; that this was among
the stuff he installed a few years back and now was much better::



ALIX.2D13 system board - $115
CompactFlash card 4GB SLC - $20
Enclosure - $9
AC adapter - $13



Is this the same board and so forth that Arthur pointed me at below?
My friend's name is Noah; what he saw was that the boad was not in
stock and that it would not be restocked until 20dec.   Because the
15th is better for Noah to drive down, I would like to have the
stuff here when it's best for him.   Figure ther have to be other
vendors that sell this.


OK, I'm in the UK as are these people I buy from, but they do prices in 
dollars as well as pounds and euros, and will ship to the US. They don't 
have a 2d13 at the moment but do have 2d3s in stock (the 2d13 has a 
battery and RTC extra, that's all).


http://linitx.com/index.php

They've got enclosures, but the power supplies are european plugs. 
However, they are universal (100-250V), so an EU-US adapter would work. 
I use a SanDisk CF card in mine, and the pfSense install worked like a 
dream. The only wrinkle is remembering to change the serial line speed 
from 19200 to 9600 baud before installing pfSense, as the serial 
bootloader likes 9600.


I'd recommend getting pfSense: The Definite Guide as well

I _will_ order the Guide since I rely on pfSense ...  

What I ordered last night was the 6e1. The pcengines.com site
pointed me to a netgate website here in the States.  So: the
entire kit is enroute; or will be soon.

What I don't understand is the CF card and howto install
pfSense.  I'll re-read wherever I have to but some clues would 
certainly help.  I installed pfSense by CDROM initially and
figure this time the install would be done by thumb-drive.

If you're installing onto a CF card you want the embedded version. You 
download the version that matches the size of your CF card - there are 
512M, 1G, 2G and 4G versions. I went for 4G because I had a convenient 
card lying around, but it's overkill. You decompress it and simply dd it 
onto the card (presuming you've got a normal Unix box). This link will help


http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_pfSense

This is the embedded category page on the doc wiki

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Category:Embedded

Then all you do is insert the card into the CF adapter on the Alix 
board, fire it up and point your web browser at it to do the initial set 
up. (Don't forget to change the serial line speed to 9600 beforehand.) 
The initial address is 192.168.1.1, username/password are admin/pfsense. 
Have fun.

I just took a second look at what I have coming in my ALIX.6E1
Kit.  (Also found that 'CF' == Compact Flash; we've got enough 
abbrvs, all right.  )  At any rate, here is what is in my 6e1
kit:

* ALIX.6E1 system board (2/1/1/256/LX800)
* Laser etched black aluminum enclosure with USB and antenna cutouts
* Blank 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II CF Card
* Standard 15V 1.25A 18W power supply (US plug style)
* Ships unassembled

If your 4G CF card was overkill, will my 2GB card be enough?  If
not I'll order a slave chip; or maybe a 4G flash card.

Pasted immediately below is what I was pointed last last night. 
There were links like your URLs to the pfSense site.  Hm.  I
have more research to do (looks like) to learn enough to 
__know__ was I'm doing.  Or my friend and I.  But then I've had
pfSense going for about three years on severely antique
hardware, no problem.

Last question[s]: is there a toggle somewhere to change the
speed to 9600?  When a friend helped save my network in JAn,
2008, we did it all my chat and maybe one phone call, so my
memories of the details of getting pfSense set up the first time
have faded ... .  I have a 10.* internal network!  Oboy.  Well, 
here's hoping that a few FreeBSD types are around on 15th dec.

FWIW, My chat is gdk98188 [at] yahoo

PS: before my almost-disaster in 12/07 I used ifp and ifpw for
years.  The server also handled DHCP.  THe reason I went with 
pfsense was to offload that stuff somewhere else; it seems 
apropos of the Unix philosophy: simplicity is better.

I don't know if your requirement for an Atom CPU is absolute, or you're 
just looking for a low power solution, but if it's the latter and 
100Mb/s networking is fast enough, I use one of these

measured at 5W. The alix2d2 is the 2 network port version.

Thanks to everyone indeed.  The long-story-short is that just a 
few months ago I thought I *had* found a low-power [Atom] box
with a dual-NIC for around $300.  So I figured that since there
was at least that one there might be others.  Late last night my 
friend at the University figured that it wouldn't be that hard
to build one from parts.  [[ Sure, if you've got two good hands
and a several hours, etc.   ]]

An Atom CPU is only the means to the end of finally having a low
power config.  Right now I'm probably burning 100w using the
Kayak and an '05 40G drive.  Any low-power box will work. 

Appreciate the help!

Well, it looks like this one is it; it has the enclosure and so

fellow computer geek.  Since I'm doing this as-if from scratch,
what's the best way of getting pfSense installed?  Can I do it
somehow over the wire or use a thumb drive?  

What I understand is that the board won't be in stock until Dec
20th and I need it by the 15th, so  should I just google around?
(I'm imagine all the tens of millions of peiople who are
shopping for a board that runs a firewall integrated with 
FrreeBSD:-)

Anybody?

Gary, in case you didn't catch it the pcengines link already given to you is
low power setup with comsumption comparable or better than an Atom.  It's
also been tested with FreeBSD and pfSense according to the manufacturers
site.  There's nothing wrong with Atom, but different models have different
chipsets/NIC's and there may be a possibility of unsupported hardware.
Perhaps it might be easier for you to go with a known commodity.

pfSense documentation is offered on their website as well as community
support.  I suggest you start there.

Hang on a sec.  I think I misread what my friend said.
Following is a snip of what he said was good; that this was among
the stuff he installed a few years back and now was much better::

  
 ALIX.2D13 system board - $115 
 CompactFlash card 4GB SLC - $20   
 Enclosure - $9
 AC adapter - $13  


Is this the same board and so forth that Arthur pointed me at below?
My friend's name is Noah; what he saw was that the boad was not in

15th is better for Noah to drive down, I would like to have the

Yes, but if you browse the manufacturer you'll see that there are other

You'd probably have to build one yourself out of parts.  Any respectable

another NIC to that along with memory/drives and you're done.

 If you're starting service foo, then you should be able to define command
 arguments by setting foo_flags=-a -b -c.  This is a convention, and
 particular
 services may use several more specific variables to build a command line
 or may simply ignore any flags variable completely, so you'll have to check
 each case individually.

 for example, how does one start sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd and pass it
 '-o X11Forwarding=no' without touching a config file?
 In this case, setting sshd_flags will work as sshd uses the default rc
 start function.
 
 hi matthew,
 
 i tried this and couldn't make it work before i emailed my question. then
 mel answered that the /etc/rc.d/foo scripts ignore environment. and then,
 looking closer at man pages, i got the impression that perhaps only /etc/rc
 uses the foo_flags variables when it invokes /etc/rc.d/foo scripts.

Uh, yeah.  My tortured mental processes had somehow concluded that /etc/rc.conf
*wasn't* a config file and then I pretty much forgot to add 'in /etc/rc.conf'
at the crucial point in what I wrote.

I don't think your request is possible without editing at least one file
under /etc

Cheers,

Matthew

By adding this to .profile of compromised wheel account and waiting for him to

Yes, it's an unlikely path.

More to the point, it defeats having ro mounted /etc + secure level, since no 
reboot is required to modify the running sshd, so you're compromising your 
failsafe.

passing options thru '/etc/rc.d/foo start'

is there a general shell syntax that can be used to pass arguments to a

for example, how does one start sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd and pass it

You don't. Defaults are set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, overridden in 
/etc/rc.conf. Unless you add the logic yourself in /etc/rc.conf, the 
environment is not looked at.
So this means a one-time edit of /etc/rc.conf:
if test -n ${SSHD_FLAGS}; then
sshd_flags=${SSHD_FLAGS}
else
sshd_flags=${sshd_flags}
fi

Then start with SSHD_FLAGS=-o X11Forwarding=no /etc/rc.d/sshd start

But this is specific for sshd, as it supports _flags. There's no generic way 
to do this.

 Then start with SSHD_FLAGS=-o X11Forwarding=no /etc/rc.d/sshd start
 
 But this is specific for sshd, as it supports _flags. There's no generic way
 to do this.

thanks, Mel, that's good to know.

i think your suggestion of modifying rc.conf will turn out to be a tidy
solution for me.

You could also just put:

sshd_flags=-o X11Forwarding=no

into your /etc/rc.conf file.

Pretty much all of the rc.d scripts support the use of NAME_flags being
defined in /etc/rc.conf, which are passed as extra commandline arguments
to the daemon. You should generally check /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see
what you might be clobbering. A small number of scripts may override
this feature from the library, breaking this method, but it's pretty
widely supported.

that's right.

when i read in 11.7 of the handbook: Since the rc.d system is primarily
intended to start/stop services at system startup/shutdown time, ... i
thought: maybe i'm making things hard by trying to use rc.d scripts when i
could just execute the daemon's binary.

an advantage i imagined of using rc.d is it starts the service with the same
config as at boot so i don't have to remember any config items that might
not be in the daemons config files. maybe all config _should_ be in the
daemon's config files but then i _might_ have been both lazy and forgetful.

If you're starting service foo, then you should be able to define command
arguments by setting foo_flags=-a -b -c.  This is a convention, and particular
services may use several more specific variables to build a command line
or may simply ignore any flags variable completely, so you'll have to check 
each case individually.



for example, how does one start sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd and pass it
'-o X11Forwarding=no' without touching a config file?


In this case, setting sshd_flags will work as sshd uses the default rc
start function.

Cheers,

Matthew

hi matthew,

i tried this and couldn't make it work before i emailed my question. then
mel answered that the /etc/rc.d/foo scripts ignore environment. and then,
looking closer at man pages, i got the impression that perhaps only /etc/rc
uses the foo_flags variables when it invokes /etc/rc.d/foo scripts.

Foo***-lite ?

2007-02-18 Thread Gary Kline

People,

I hope there are some kde or gnome wizards around to give me a
few clues about tuning my gnome|kde- lite window managers.  So far
I have the regular gnome2 and KDE3 desktops going on my test box
quite well.  kde at least gives users the opportunity to set the
level of eye-candy from low to high.  I have not seen anything
equivalent for gnome.  How do I test gnome2-lite and kde-lite?
I've found startkde, but no startkdelite.  I've found the
gnome-session binary, but no gnomelite-session.

If I need kde|gnome2- lite.desktop files, please clue me in.
Otherwise,  how do I instiantiate these lite flavor desktops?

thanks much,

gary

I think you've misunderstood what the -lite versions are. From
ports/x11/gnome2-lite/pkg-descr:


This metaport installs the pieces of the GNOME 2 desktop that
are needed to provide a functional desktop.  x11/gnome2
contains the full version of the GNOME 2 desktop environment.


In other words, it's the same GNOME, but installing the gnome2-lite
port doesn't install extras, like games. GNOME is invoked the same
way regardless of which port is used.

I believe that the kde-lite port is the same.

   thanks much,

I see (*now* :-).  Well, since I'm not much of a gamer, it's
not a problem.  I did see that gnome-light installed only part
of the suite.  That should've been a clue.  I was expecting some 
kernel/apps wizard to tune things so that, say, the calender
would be niced down to a lower prio and the xterm/terminal/
and-or vi and broswers would have been set to a higher priority.

That is my next task, hopefully without getting too deeply into 
the C/++ code.   I've test added things like xload and xclock
and will see if the session managers are savvy enough to accept
a nice -17 /usr/bin/program line in there.  gnome2 at least has
a run priority from 0 to 50 or the like.  That may be worth
looking at.

tx for your insights,

gary

make world DESTDIR=/foo
or
make buildworld DESTDIR=/foo
does not work on either my i386 or amd64 systems after a cvsup to  
5.3-RELEASE and native build.  If you leave off the DESTDIR and build

 under beta7 (and possibly under RC1)

I haven't tried make world in a long time, but I recently installed a
clean snapshot of CURRENT using a slightly different approach:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld buildkernel
# make DESTDIR=/mnt installkernel installworld

I guess I will try this... Thanks.
make buildworld DESTDIR= shows the same problem btw.  This is for 
creating the jail system...

Thanks

Unfortunately, I still get an error.  A different one.  I can do it  
without DESTDIR= and update my actual system, but to make a jail, which  
requires DESTDIR, I get this error (when splitting up buildworld and  
installworld DESTDIR=)

Re: set fnord foo

In the last episode (Oct 01), Roman Neuhauser said:
 yeah, i figured out i made a complete fool of myself after a bit more
 rtfming and googling (FOLDOC). now if i only knew why oh why is
 mkinstalldirs written this way.

I believe it's a workaround for shells that remove empty ``
expressions.  Fnord guarantees that the set command sees at least one
argument.

set fnord foo

2002-09-30 Thread Roman Neuhauser

hi there.

could anyone tell me what $subject does? i can't find any explanation.
man pages for sh(1) (freebsd) and bash(1) (linux) don't mention fnord.

what does it do?
