Re: clamd after upgrade to 0.83
I think the following section in /usr/local/amavisd.conf
should answer your question:
### http://www.clamav.net/ - backs up clamd or Mail::ClamAV
['ClamAV-clamscan', 'clamscan',
--stdout --disable-summary -r --tempdir=$TEMPBASE {}, [0], [1],
qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],
Basically if clamd is not running Amavis will execute the
commandline scanner version of ClamAV. That's the reason why
you are still getting log entries.
So to sumarize: ClamAV's daemon is not running, thus
there is neither a PID file nor a UNIX domain socket.
So if you want to use the daemonized version of ClamAV,
you need to elaborate why the daemon isn't started.

The FreeBSD was at an unbeatable price--I think it was only $10 or so, just a bit more than the packaging cost. That's not the case for Linux, which I see going for prices well in excess of $100 ... perilously close to the price of an OEM copy of Windows. You're confusing the boxed sets of Linux distributions with simply buying cds. Debian does not do boxed sets. There is not anything that prevents retailers from still selling the cd sets for cheap prices. There are still some retailers that sell just the minimal cd sets, it is just unfortunate that there are not any big chains doing this (that I know of). Boxed sets, however, usually come with a book and support- something that is worth considerably more than a few reusable plastic coasters. But the thing that disturbs me is that all of Windows was actually written by Microsoft or licensed from someone else who wrote it, whereas all of Linux (more or less) was written for free. So how can Linux distributors get away with charging $200 for software if Microsoft is charging only slightly more? The Linux crowd certainly didn't pay anyone to develop any of the software they're selling. Please see Chad's e-mail about the difference between free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-food. It doesn't matter how much they charge if it is still licensed as free-as-in-speech - because you or I could buy a copy, burn our own copies of it and sell it $10 cheaper than them and still be legal. Except that's simply listing the ways you can get Debian. But they list the money way first, like every other site. Yep, and FreeBSD lists the money way before the download way, too. See http://www.freebsd.org/where.html. Your point? Debian does not get paid for listing cd vendors, which I'm sure is the same way with FreeBSD. If that makes Debian non-free, then FreeBSD is non-free too (or used to be) - when you purchased version 4.3 from a computer store. True. But it was much more reasonably priced than Linux, and it was a very good buy in consequence. You're generalizing again - using other Linux distributions' boxed-set prices to prove that Debian is hypocritical. Please see http://www.easylinuxcds.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=49osCsid=62927e80e86dcc3defbb63e36a224a3d where they sell Debian (and other distributions of Linux) and FreeBSD for the same price per cd. Or you could look at www.freebsdmall.com and www.bsdmall.com where the bsd prices are closer to $10 per cd, instead of the $2 - 3 per cd price for Linux from www.linuxmall.com. Except you haven't proven that Debian has a trend towards commercialism. Fine. Wait and see. I'd rather not wait. Why let good software go down the drain? :-) snip And, by the way, if you look at www.debian.org and www.freebsd.org, you will notice that they are both owned by non-profit organizations. That's totally different from a Microsoft-style business model. Some of the wealthiest organizations in the world are non-profit. All that means is that they make sure they have no money left over after expenses (sometimes by paying high salaries to their employees). There's nothing magic or high-minded about non-profit organizations. But just because some non-profit organizations are wealthy does not prove that Debian is 1) wealthy or 2) hypocritical.

Creating a boot diskette that does nothing but boot from hard disk
Is it possible to create a boot diskette that does nothing more than boot from a specific hard disk? How would I go about doing so? If I can't figure out why my system won't boot from the hard disk on its own, I figure that perhaps I could create a diskette to pop into the machine that would simple boot immediately from the hard disk. It shouldn't require much code and should easily fit on a single diskette.

Which window manager is the closest to classic UNIX window managers (as opposed to wannabe Windows products)?

You could also get a look-see there... As for my own experience, I can't really answer your question, because classic UNIX window managers is somewhat meaningless to me as a newbie. Part of Free Software is freedom of choice as you well know. There are so many choices out there that your head can spin while looking. My experience: 1. BlackBox. Small, light, fast. To me, rather mouse oriented. Collapsing menus. A small app bar at the top, but no default icon support, etc. 2. FluxBox. BlackBox with more themes*. 3. Enlightenment. Larger then bb/fb. I didn't stick with it long at all, so I can't say much else. 4. XFCE. I liked it ... BSD licensed (IIRC), no larger than Enlightenment, certainly. One toolbar in default install, a few default tools. Icons on the toolbar (can't remember if you can put 'em on the desktop in default install). 5. GNOME. On my desktop now ... why? Curiosity, I guess. Lots of tools, takes lots of muscle. Probably a windows wannabe as you say (but it crashes less ... ;-). I wouldn't put a new KDE or GNOME on a very old box, but maybe I don't know how to go about that very well (I know there is a gnome-lite, and there is probably a corresponding light KDE). It seems a tad slow ATM, but this box runs as gateway/firewall, SMTP/POP3, http (development server), DNS, rsyncd, samba on the office network, plus currently 9 windows in Mozilla, 23 in Opera, mail client, Dictionary app, this compose window, 5-6 terminals running SSH to 3 servers across 4 desktops, the GIMP with a rather big photo open, and a small word processor document.) There are so many other WMs. It all depends on how you work. And, you can run some toolbars/docks, iconifying program, pretty much any X application, whatever, on just about anything -- tools, not policy after all. Greg Lehey, for example, states (~to the effect of~) I'm not into eye candy, and runs something rather simple (twm? fvwm?) that's all configured exactly the way he wants it across several monitors, at rather/very high resolution(s).

I'm different, I was a M$ user for quite a while, and apart from the differences in the toolbar at the bottom and the fact that I have top and right-side toolbars also, I'm not sure my desktop looks much different than it did back on Win98.

Eterm transparency problem.
Is anyone else having a problem with Eterm 0.9.3? I love its transparency ability and had it set up with the following user.cfg: Eterm-0.9.2 begin color foreground rgb:ff/ff/ff end begin attributes font fx none end begin image type background mode trans cmod image 100 end begin toggles itrans on buttonbar off xterm_select on end begin misc term_name xterm end Prior to the 0.9.3 update this shaded the terminal window a little less than 50%. Now it shades it a blue tint. Trying just the --O and --shade options yields identical results. However, if I don't use transparency the --shade option works correctly. Anyone seen a similar error? Slight tangent question: Is emailing the maintainer the only way to report a bug to a port? The FreeBSD PR system looks like it isn't intended for ports. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Different OS's? Marketshare
On Wednesday 23 February 2005 02:34 pm, Anthony Atkielski wrote: Mike Hauber writes: What kind of problems are you having with FreeBSD? There was a non-specific mention of errors regarding your hard drive, but said everything was working ok. I mentioned the main error in a separate thread: After successfully installing the OS, I simply cannot persuade the machine to boot from the hard disk. It just blanks the screen and stops. It must be booting _something_, because it normally puts up an error message if it cannot find the boot information it expects. So I presume it's passing control to garbage read from the disk and this is halting the system silently. If I boot from floppy, no problem. And if I boot from the install floppy and then enter the loader, unload the kernel, switch the current device to my boot disk (the hard disk), and boot from the loader, it comes up instantly. So there is some part of the boot process that's not working. I installed FreeBSD with a standard MBR on both disks, and I set the first disk to bootable, but this doesn't seem to help, although I'm still trying. The other problem I have is SCSI errors that generate massive streams of console error messages, although they don't appear to be errors that cause data loss. I got these while moving ports onto my machine. Now that I think about it, I think it might be a conflict with an old ISDN card that is still mounted in the machine ... hmm. Anyway, that's secondary. I'm sure there are no hardware problems on this machine; it has been running flawlessly for eight years. So anything that doesn't work is software. Found the thread... Have you tried installing an older version? (4.4, for example?) I've had a lot of issues trying to install FreeBSD =4.9 on pre 586s, but mostly they were setup for a quick showtell (latest greatest wasn't really necessary). Not saying that you should settle for an older version, but it may help in discovering what the issues are. (I like the drake, though... It's what I usually recommend for people who are wanting to try something other than windows and don't have the knowledge (desire to learn) necessary to build up a system of their own). I'm still quite ambivalent about it. I keep wondering if Linux is different enough and useful enough to be worth dedicating this machine to it ... or if I should just continue with FreeBSD and install X on the machine (and KDE, probably, since it seems to be popular, although I welcome suggestions). I came to FreeBSD first after deciding that I worked too hard to spend any more money on an OS I couldn't depend on (kinda like I won't spend money on certain types of video games because they ultimately do nothing but parse me off :) ). Frustrated, I bounced back and forth between anything I could get my hands on (legally, of course). I have an entire CD book filled with Linuses that I've tried, but ultimately settled with the BSDs. Some of the Linuses are great, but I've come to appreciate the BSDs more than anything else. Because of this, I make my investments in things that I actually appreciate. I only suggest Mandrake to people just coming out of windows as to to help minimize the frustrations that I went through (I guess I'm a symphathiser of sorts, but not so much that I'm willing to hold their hand :) ). If someone is comfortable enough that they'll actually use the man command, ask intelligent questions, and appreciate the documentation that's out there (ie, read), then I definately suggest a BSD. (ie, if you can install FreeBSD and setup X, then why bother with Mandrake?) Not that it's a bad OS, just that I've found that people who know how/where to learn will come to appreciate the BSDs over the other options. Which window manager is the closest to classic UNIX window managers (as opposed to wannabe Windows products)? Well... There's a lot of options available. Personally, I prefer something like blackbox for administrative logins. It's _very_ lightweight and (like all things should be), you pretty much build it from the ground up.

Re: get local sendmail to use MX records
No, that is not the solution. It could be, but it's not what I want. An example: domain: domain.com domain.com is hosted on server B. The MX record for domain.com says that server A handles the mail of domain.com. So [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be handled by server A. Do you mean that your /bin/hostname show domain.com and not machine.domain.com? Anyway, you may have the option to bury the problem by using smart_host and mail_hub: like this in sendmail.mc: define(`SMART_HOST',`serverA.domain.com.')dnl define(`MAIL_HUB',`serverA.domain.com.')dnl -- Hilsen Lars This works, but now on server B there runs a script that sends an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . What SHOULD happen is that sendmail on server B looks up the MX record for domain.com, sees that server A handles the mail for domain.com and sends the mail to server A. What happens is that sendmail recognizes the domain as hosted on that machine and uses localhost to deliver the mail. It looks for user gerard (in this example), which doesn't exist. I agree with you, a solution would be to set in the alias file of server B something like gerard: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . If this was about just one e-mailaddress, it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm actually talking about a little more then one address.

ISDN sPPP connection does not work
Hello everybody! I've been trying to get my internet connection back to work for five days now, but it still does not work. I am using FreeBSD 5.3 and I want to try to connect PPP over an ISDN connection - I use a AVM Fritz! PCI v2 as an internal isdn-adapter. It does not work, and I don't get error messages (at least none I can understand) so that I have to bother you :-) I want to ask a very general question: if I want to use PPP over ISDN, I need to add ``isdn_enable=YES'' and ``ppp_enable=YES'' to my rc.conf. The man pages of rc.conf say that if I add these lines, both the pppd and the isdnd will be started upon system boot. But if I try ``ps aux | grep isdnd'' or ``ps aux | grep pppd'', both these deamons are not started. Right now, I do really consider this to be the main (or at least one of the main) mistakes. Can you please help me? I'm really getting upset. The whole configuration of FreeBSD worked so good until now.

(via multiple syslog.conf entries) I'm pretty sure a log entry can go to as many files as you want. For example, my syslog.conf file currently has *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages security.* /var/log/security auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info/var/log/lpd-errs ftp.info/var/log/xferlog cron.* /var/log/cron *.=debug/var/log/debug.log *.emerg * *.* /var/log/all.log !startslip *.* /var/log/slip.log !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log All of my log messages end up in /var/log/all.log, even though they're also put in /var/log/messages. The only thing I can think of is that you might have a program or hostname specification that's messing things up (any line starting with !, #!, + or +!). Anything following such a line will only apply to certain things; for example, the only things that end up in /var/log/ppp.log in my configuration are ppp-related messages (even though the ppp.log line starts with *.*). That's all I can think of, anyway. I never touched my syslog.conf file before a few days ago, so I'm hardly an authority. It sure would be easier if in the log entry it said ftp.notice or some such thing so you -know- how it is being directed.

It works pretty good on the windoze boxes (networked printer) but I don't seem to be able to get any drivers to work with it on FreeBSD 4.9R I've got ghostscript and apsfilter installed. But when I select Lexmark in apsfilter, and try to print, I get an error about installing the lm1100 filter. I can't find any documentation that talks about installing this filter on FreeBSD.

Redistribution of FreeBSD 5.3
Hi, My name is Bryan and I am wondering if I can freely distribute FreeBSD 5.3. If I can redistribute it, is there anything I need to include with the ISO images when I distribute them? I read that I need to include the copyright notice. Do I need to include a seperate document for this copyright notice (text file or html document) or is the copyright notice in one of the ISO images (also, is the copyright notice that I would need to add the one found at http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html)? I know these might be pretty stupid questions, but its better to be safe than sorry in my opinion. Also, is there a limit on the amount I can redistribute?

Basically if clamd is not running Amavis will execute the
commandline scanner version of ClamAV. That's the reason why
you are still getting log entries.
So to sumarize: ClamAV's daemon is not running, thus
there is neither a PID file nor a UNIX domain socket.
So if you want to use the daemonized version of ClamAV,
you need to elaborate why the daemon isn't started.

Belkin PS/2 to USB converter, Not Pointing
In preparation for adding new box[1] to my stable[2] that uses USB for keyboard and mouse, I got a Belkin F5U119-E PS/2 to USB adapter for my PS/2 keyboard and old Trackman Marble FX. Since there will be a new USB KVM, I decided to try the adapter out with my FreeBSD 4.11-R server. I managed to get the keyboard to work through the adapter, but not the Trackman. I tried a grungy old Intellimouse in the adapter too, but no joy. A real USB mouse, off my laptop, works just fine. When I attach the adapter cable, I get this on the console/dmesg ukbd0: vendor 0x0d3d USBPS2, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2, iclass 3/1 kbd0 at ukbd0 ums0: vendor 0x0d3d USBPS2, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. Note that the Trackman is 4 button, and no Z, and it reported 5,Z for the Intellimouse, too. It also reports this when attached with no mouse, so it looks like there is a mouse emulator in the adapter, a la many KVMs. A new instance of moused starts on ums0, when the adapter is inserted. Figuring FreeBSD 4.11 and an AMD K6-233, on an Abit AX5 mobo, might be a little long in the tooth, I booted FreeBSD 5.3 off a FreeSBI 1.1 CD on an Athlon 1GHz (Abit KT7). Same things occurred. I'd get the dmesg entries, and a new moused process, but no input from the mouse or Trackman. The Trackman works with the adapter on the KT7 when it boots Windows ME[3], although the Logitech drivers can't even tell it's a Logitech device. Which is worse than the normal KVM[4], but at least functional. The Intellimouse works on the adapter under Windows as well, confirming the adapter isn't dead on arrival. My current KVM was out of the loop for this testing. I'm not running a GENERIC kernel, but one I stripped out for my hardware. I already added uhid, ukbd, and ums back in. I haven't tried ubsa(4), yet. It looks close to perfect, but not really. (Note that ubsa isn't in LINT.) I'm fairly attached to the Marble FX, so would like to get this to work. Questions: -- 1) Is it worth trying the ubsa device driver? 2) Any other devices I might need? 3) Should I remove psm? 4) Something in another *BSD? 5) Are there other PS/2 to USB adapters known to work? 6) Know any good USB Trackballs? 7) Anything else I didn't think of? 8) Send a pr?

Re: ssh, sftp, and public key authentication
Hello, I just read my message. I've confused myself a little here probably the rest of you too. Let me try it again. I have three machines, two fixed and one mobile laptop, which is a windows box. Machine3 is a server i remotely manage, machine1 is my fixed machine, machine2 is my laptop. When i'm at machine1 i have created a public key and can ssh to machine3, no problem, and no passphrase. When my laptop is on my local network it can also ssh to machine3 as well as to anywhere else, again no problem and no passphrase. When the laptop is offsite, i can not ssh directly to machine3 at all, even though i select public key authentication, so i ssh to machine1, on my network, then from there try to ssh to machine3. This does not work, i'm repeatedly prompted for a passphrase which i don't have. Hope that clarifies things. Thanks.

DLINK DWL-530 wireless a/b/g NIC and FreeBSD 4 and 5
Hi all, I've read 2-3 archived posts to the -CURRENT mailing list dating back to September about the atheros driver on FreeBSD not supporting the DLink DWL-530. I haven't seen much about it since, and a patch that was available then didn't work for this particular model either. Before I go out and buy a DWL-520 instead, can anyone tell me if this model is now supported on the atheros driver? My goal is to use this NIC in my FreeBSD gateway and use it as an access point as well. This card seems great because it's got great speed, backward compatibility and a detachable antenna that's more convenient than if it were hiding behind the tower.

I've spent about 3 hours fiddling with the current setup to no avail. Also note that the lm1100 isn't the 1185. The model numbers on these things are pretty meaningless - the entire printing command set of the 1185 could be completely different from the 1100. Any Suggestions? links? Let me put it this way. It sounds like your not that experienced with the ugliness of installing an unsupported printer under FreeBSD. I guarentee that you will be happier if you stay that way. Return the printer to the store and buy one that is well supported. By purchasing the Lexmark you are effectively rewarding companies that don't lift a finger to help us, and punishing companies that are bending over backwards to help the Open Source community. If you had got the printer from a dumpster, or free from someone, I would be more inclined to spend time answering your question.
