Re: sysrc -- a sysctl(8)-like utility for managing /etc/rc.conf et. al.
I think that this script might also fill a void with using Puppet as a configuration tool. Currently Puppet, as its default behaviour, uses files in /etc/rc.conf.d to set variables. I've found this approach really lacking because you cannot do things like: nfs_server_enable=YES via a /etc/rc.conf.d file because multiple things (like lockd, mountd, nfsd, nfsserver, and statd) all need nfs_server_enable set, as one example. This script would provide an easy method for puppet to edit lines in /etc/rc.conf. I have a feature request though: How about a switch like -c config-file to change which file sysrc_set adds the line to. We use both /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local on some systems, and it would be nice to be able to specify that this particular knob should be placed in /etc/rc.conf.local. I'm unsure what should happen if -c is specified and the knob you want to change already exists in another rc.conf file: Should it be moved to the new location, or changed where it is? (Maybe that'd be yet another option to sysrc.) ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Warren Consider also the docs that tell the user to Warrenecho 'something_enable=YES' /etc/rc.conf Warren which can produce duplicate and possibly differing entries. Yup! Which is exactly why I like the idea of this tool. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Nagios Linux Threads
I'm running Nagios 2.0 on FreeBSD 6 and I occasionally experience the problem originally discussed http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=165398+171880+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-hackers/20050821.freebsd-hackers (That is: a forked nagios process that consumes as much CPU time as it can.) Living with this problem while annoying isn't the end of the world. I was looking for workarounds. One solution for a work around was to use Linux threads. I was wondering if anybody had managed to get Nagios 2.0 to use Linux threads successfully. And if so, what changes to the port were required. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD boot manager, where is latest version?
I've recently switched to Smart Boot Manager which I noticed on freshmeat awhile ago. You can find it at http://www.gnuchina.org/~suzhe/ I found it easiest to download the DOS .exe and put it on a floppy and install it that way. For fitting in the boot block (no seperate partition required) it has quite a number of features.

Re: several NFS mounts within a filesystem

However.. Peter Am I right in thinking that the kernel won't let me export more Peter than one subdir of the same filesystem? If so, how do I get Peter around this? What you want to do is either include the -alldirs as "Kenneth D. Merry" [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggests, or list the directories you want to export on the same line. From my /etc/exports: /usr/ports /usr/src /usr/obj-network=x.x.x.0 -mask=255.255.255.0 -maproot=root /usr/ports, /use/src, and /usr/obj are all on the /usr file system, and this exports only those directories.
