Re: aterm, screen, and backspace
Ok, please ignore my question. I'm still not 100% sure what happened, but somehow a version of aterm was left in /usr/local/bin/aterm from when I edited the Makefile and removed the entries for --enable-utmp and --enable-wtmp. That version seemed to be messing up screen, and I'm not sure why. When I removed that version manually and did a make deinstall and then make clean, and then make install (inside the aterm port dir) everything seems to be working fine again. This brings up another question I had however: Say I see a configuration in a ports Makefile that I want to change. What is the proper way to go about doing this? In this example, I saw the following line in /usr/ports/x11/aterm/ CONFIGURE_ARGS+= \ --enable-transparency --enable-background-image \ --disable-delete-key --disable-backspace-key \ --enable-fading --enable-utmp --enable-wtmp I wanted to get rid of the utmp and wtmp features, so I erased that line as well as the preceeding \. I had tried using: make install CONFIGURE_ARGS=, but the others seemed to be added no matter what (I believe due to the fact that in the makefile it's using += rather than just =). Anyways, what would be the best way of going about this? Thanks again for all your help.

aterm, screen, and backspace
Howdy, I just recently got into freebsd and everything has been running great. Tonight I decided to change the compile time options that I set aterm up with and ran into some problems. Before doing this I went ahead and ran cvsup to make sure I had the latest and greatest port of aterm. I don't know if anything got updated, but I only built my machine about a month ago with the latest ports. I haven't seen any changes to the aterm port, but maybe I'm using the port changes search engine wrong. Anyways, after making sure I had the latest port info I then de-installed my copy of aterm, and then did a make install clean to re-install it, using the standard Makefile. Everything seemed fine till I went and ran screen. When I ran screen, I found that I could no longer use backspace. Instead of backspacing, it would instead simply cause my terminal to beep. I hit ^V then the backspace key and this is the code it's returning: ^[[3~ . I looked around the newsgroups and couldn't find a whole lot of answers in regards to this. I found something about .inputrc, a file which I use to give me vi bindings in the python interpreter. Here's the extent of my .inputrc file: set editing-mode vi I wouldn't imagine this would cause many problems, yet when I went ahead and moved the .inputrc to .inputrc.old and started up screen, then my backspace key printed a ~ and would cause my terminal to beep. Hitting ^V backspace now reported ^[[3~ as well. Anyways I quite plainly 'don't get it'. Nothing else has changed on my system. I am running the following software: Screen version 3.09.13 (FAU) 5-Sep-02 aterm version 0.4.2 Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

new pw(8) feature - home directory permissions.
(I apologize in advance if this is too mundane for -hackers...)
After seeing multiple people on IRC ask how to specify the permissions for the home
directory
adduser(8) creates, I went in and added that feature to pw(8).
A diff is attached. As this is my first FreeBSD diff ever, comments from veteran
hackers are
highly requested. If this is something people find useful, I will also go into
adduser(8) and
add support for the new flag there, and of course, edit the man pages.
In particular, I want someone who knows what they're doing to make sure I have my
types and
signs and such correct. I also don't like 'f' as the name of the option but the
obvious ones
('m' and 'p') are taken.
Thanks,
--Mike Edenfield

Once I successfully built a 4.7-RELEASE userland (which I needed to keep as a failover installation, in case my upgrade to 5.0-CURRENT didn't quite work) the problems went away.

It's probably easier to grab a CDROM image for 4.7-RELEASE and install that, if you want to be 100% sure that everything your system runs can be trusted. Having written that, there's really nothing wrong with interrupting the buildworld process after it passes the stage of the "libraries" and continuing the process later on with -DNOCLEAN. The userland programs that are built after that stage will use the already compiled binaries of /usr/obj and the `critical' parts of the system have already been built.

Possible, but not ideal. Be sure, in that case, you familiarize yourself with the assorted locking mechanism in question -- especially that of qpopper, for instance (if that is what you use to retrieve mail, of course), or mail may become lost. > It looks like the format of the file is very simple. Yes, standard mbox format. > Why wouldn't that work? It would, if done properly. :) > I don't know that calling sendmail again would be _that_ hard. Certainly possible (as has been suggested already, be careful you do not wind up in a loop, though). Like so, for instance: $mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; open (MAIL, "| $mailprog -f$sender $recipient") || die $!; print MAIL "$header$body"; close (MAIL); The -f override is so the envelope sender will remain the original sender. Then you need to work a few things out with trusted users and all, to avoid "authwarnings" within the message. But a second invocation of sendmail from your Perl-script is sure possible. > After all, > I'm mostly just copying the input to the output. I guess all I'd have to > do would be to change the recipient address to avoid a loop (?). > Right? Can't I just leave all the headers intact otherwise? Headers are all part of the DATA stream, so they have no bearing on where sendmail delivers mail (unless you run sendmail with the -t option, which is generally ill-adviced anyway). The recipient given to sendmail as parameter (see above) is what will be used for delivery. No need to change the headers for that (as, like I said, they are part of the DATA stream). - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

You may even want to clean out the Cc: and To: lines of anyone and everyone you didn't want getting another copy (I'm not 100% sure this is the case, but it seems to me that if there's a long list of people Cc:'d, calling sendmail again without stripping them out will send them another email).. Someone else mentioned it, I think it's worth mentioning again. I'm not 100% sure what you want to do, but I'm 99% sure you'd be better off using Sendmail's Milter interface than trying to mess around with aliases and .forward files. Check out http://www.samag.com/documents/s=7178/sam0206l/.

Re: Getting Perl scripts to work as mail filters
What about appending directly to the mailbox file under /var/mail/$USER with
the script? It looks like the format of the file is very simple. Why
wouldn't that work? I've tried writing to it, but I can't, at least not
when the script runs from the aliases file (works fine when I run it myself,
though).
Procmail is exactly the sort of bloated tool that I'm trying to avoid.
I don't know that calling sendmail again would be _that_ hard. After all,
I'm mostly just copying the input to the output. I guess all I'd have to do
would be to change the recipient address to avoid a loop (?). Right? Can't
I just leave all the headers intact otherwise?

It needs to be done during system startup. I have code to do it, I

Ah. Yes, that's partially the correct approach, but it requires you
to know *all* Vinum drives; otherwise Vinum will mark the missing ones
down. Jörg Wunsch already has functional code which does things this
way. I'm in the process of rewriting vinum_scandisk to find the
drives itself.

A bit too simple, perhaps. :)
STDOUT is irrelevant to sendmail here; because, as far as sendmail is
concerned, your message has already been delivered, namely to the alias
"mymail". And your log says so:
"to="|/usr/home/mymail/mailman", ctladdr=mymail (1/0)"
Indicating that the "controlling address" (ctladdr) is "mymail". If your
recipient ("mymail") decides to output something, good for him, but sendmail
is long since done with the delivery.
If you want to use filters, more or less like you describe, have a look at:
Sendmail::Milter

For that to happen, in a set-up where the alias is to deliver mail for
"variable" users, you might, for instance, take a look at the "plussed
users" facility in sendmail. But why re-invent the wheel? A program like
procmail will more than likely do what you want. But even procmail, run from
a .forward scheme, suffers from having difficulty extracting the intended
recipient. Only if you define a Perl mailer can you solve that problem
entirely, as you can parse sendmail variables like $f and $u to your
delivery agent.

You also get the full list when you use "make index". Make will die at the first port that is missing and so you can't have ports in your refuse file.

Re: Going from Windows to X - suggestions

Initially the old laptop was for a friend of mine, who doesn't know much about computer, so I thought that perverting one more to FreeBSD was a great idea... But it had to be good looking... twm, well... well... ;) In fact I did install WMaker on it, definitively not a good solution. But what was surprinsing is that it was XFree86 that was grabbing much of the memory, not wmaker itself... If I use twm, then do you think that it would reduce X consumption ?

SMP kernel on Compaq DL380 G3.
Has anyone gotten the FreeBSD SMP kernel to boot on a Compaq DL380 G3? There was a known problem in the G2s where you had to set the OS option to "Linux" in the Compaq BIOS for the SMP kernel to boot correctly. However, this does not appear to work on the G3s. There are two BIOS options which I have adjusted, one is for "OS" and the other is for "Advanced/MPS Table". I have tried every combination between the "Linux" and "Other" OS option along with "Full Table APIC", "Full APIC Memory Mapped", "Disabled", and "Auto Set Table" MPS Table options. I have also tried disabling hyper-threading support for the Xeon processors but still no avail. For now, the system is happily running on the non-SMP kernel. When booting the SMP kernel, the system hangs on "APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery". This is on FreeBSD4.7-RELEASE. Thanks, J.

How do you expect sendmail to know which user to deliver to?
By altering the aliases file, you have said to sendmail:
Don't deliver to localuser 'mymail',
Instead deliver to the script 'perlfilter'
If you don't need your script to modify the data that get's sent,
then you could just add another recipient in the aliases file:
mymail: "| perlfilter", myusername
If you want to modify the message before sending it elsewhere,
you could do something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -bm";
$MYADDRESS="me\@mydomain.com";
open(SENDMAIL, "| $SENDMAIL $MYADDRESS") or die "Can't open $SENDMAIL";
while ($inputline = )
{
$inputline =~ s/18 Dec 2002/29 Dec 2013/;
print SENDMAIL $inputline;
}
close(SENDMAIL);

Older versions ran as root - current recommended setup is not to run as
root.
But that's another issue.

cvsup question
This is more of a minor annoyance, but I can't seem to fix it. I'm tired of portsdb -Uu spitting out errors regarding not finding japanese ports. I initially had all of the non-english ports in my refuse file, since i have zero use for them, but i've removed these entries with the thinking that 'I have ample space and it doesn't hurt for them to be there if i can quiet the output of portsdb -Uu' but using 'ports-all' in my ports-supfile isn't grabbing the japanese, or any other language for that matter (except portuguese and hungarian). Like I said, this is more of a minor annoyance, but if anyone knows a fix, that would be great. thanks. .daniel.schrock To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

RE: Slow network - ed driver, Realtek 8029
Hello, Well, perhaps it's my assumption, but I thought that the SIMPLEX message on the ed0 driver from ifconfig means half-duplex. Am I wrong here? I assume the hardware is set to half-duplex because in windows it was when I switched the driver from full to half-duplex that I got a big performance jump. I don't know who I would set one or the other either. the ed(4) manpage talks about flags to set 8/16bit modes, transmit multibuffering, and using AUI as default. Thanks, Mark V.

Re: Getting Perl scripts to work as mail filters
*** Well it looks like your script is being run - what should your script

Heck, it's so simple I can list it here:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl
while ($inputline = )
{
$inputline =~ s/18 Dec 2002/29 Dec 2013/;
print STDOUT $inputline;
}
---
The s/// stuff is just to give me some proof that the script saw the
message. I'm not getting anything at all now, though.
I assumed that writing to STDOUT would somehow get the message delivered,
but maybe not. But if that's not the way to get it delivered, what is? The
sendmail manual is not at all clear on this. I looked in sendmail.cf for
the name of some program to which perhaps I should pipe STDOUT in the
aliases file, but couldn't find anything. When the aliases file does not
specify piping of messages to some special program, who normally delivers
them?
*** sendmail doesn't do anything with the STDOUT from your script. I'm nut

To my mailbox. I want the script to see incoming messages just before they
get deposited in my mailbox on the server. From what I can understand of
how this works, some program actually receives the messages from sendmail
(?) and deposits them in my /usr/home/$USER mailbox, which appears to be
just a simple text file (I can't find any reference giving the format of
that, either).
*** sendmail is should not be running as root (probably 'mailnull'). ***
It's running as root on my system. I thought it _had_ to run as root (?);
doesn't it have to access mailboxes that have only 600 access or something?

I name them for the short name used in /etc/hosts and I can "buildkernel KERNCONF=CORAL" on RUBY and do the installkernel and installworld on CORAL. If you have all 3 config files on ruby, you can add "KERNCONF=RUBY GENERIC CORAL" to ruby's /etc/make.conf, all 3 will be built on ruby.

I have modified a computer and mismounted 2 IDE drives when I was reassemblying it. There were links that were apparently broken. I swapped them back but still couldn't do a builds after that. So, I just mounted the the 2 file systems from a running system and did the installs. I could do builds once more. I think I needed 15-20 minutes from the time I figured out what was wrong and had done the buildkernel for the sick computer to having a consistant running system.

Slow network - ed driver, Realtek 8029
Hello, I'm having a problem with slow transfers to my FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE box using a D-Link 528CT (Realtek 8029 chipset). When I try to upload files to this machine from a windowsXP box, I only get about 30KB/s on the 10BaseT cat 5 network. This identical machine previously was able to receive transfers of 1000KB/s when it was running under windows 98. I'm only getting 3% of the windows receive performance. My best guess is that this is a driver issue. I had possibly similar problem with the same card under win98. The issue was if you set the driver to full duplex when the card hardware was not setup for full duplex (it is capable of full duplex, but you need to tell the hardware in some way), the transfer rate would be ridiculously slow. I'm guessing this is a similar problem, however, ifconfig shows: ed0: flags=8843 so I don't think it's the full/half-duplex problem. I've googled the net and searched the mailing list, and found some others have had similar problems with the Realtek 8029, but I never found a solution. Can anybody help here? Mark V.

Let me say in advance that it is lacking any form of error checking. I should
also find some way to determine which disk we're booting from, since that is
the only disk that makes sence to read the config from.
{
char *bootdev[]={"/dev/da0","/dev/da1",NULL};
start_config(0);
lock_config();
vinum_scandisk(bootdev,sizeof(bootdev)/sizeof(bootdev[0]));
unlock_config();
finish_config(0);
save_config();
}
I've added this bit to the end of vinumattach() which seems to be working.
However the routines in kern/vfs_conf.c are unable to mount a vinum volume. Haven't
had time to really look into that.

RE: compact flash use
Randall, I took a look at the adapter, and it appears to support multiple formats. This could be the source of your problem. I use a much simpler CF -> IDE adapter for programming FreeBSD images to CF devices for use in embedded systems. My adapter has an IDE header, CF slot and LED - that's it. CF devices can operate in true ATA mode. Perhaps your adapter is operating it in some other mode? Anyway, I have a copy of FreeBSD 4.7R booting from a CF card. I even NFS mounted the kernel source, and installed a new kernel last night. IOW - it should work. If it doesn't, I would tend to suspect your adapter. Unless you really need the other formats, I would go for an adapter that operates the CF device as a true ATA device. I got mine from Mesa. One thing to note, CF is not terribly fast. On my systems, it shows up as PIO1. It is also possible that the controller is getting hosed because your system is sending data too fast.

RE: My Cisco Problem
I set up several of these every few months (I teach at a college where we teach students to configure serial lines on 2500s). The most common problems I see are encapsulation mismatch, no clockrate set or set wrong, and I've even seen line protocol down when there is no IP configured...but I think that was a PEBKAC problem. Chances are your line is fine, and you have to take this up with your ISP. I'd email them or read them your config for that interface and have them confirm that it's right, and have them double check theirs.

Re: Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 w/ WOL
The Wake on Lan functionality operates below the operating system level. It's actually a signal to the mainboard that simulates the power button (though it can only turn a system "ON" as far as I know). This feature should work fine for any system whose BIOS supports it, though I can't imagine turning a *BSD system off? ;) The onboard management stuff is a mixed bag. Some of that is just renamed functionality (it has a boot NVRAM that can be programmed through the card, etc). Other things, like the ProSet software is windows only. Even so, it's still a good card. The controller chip on that card is widely used on motherboards that have integrated ethernet, so it enjoys widespread support by practically every PC operating system.

Because "make installworld" will find any compiled programs under that path, and copy them to their destination. /usr/src doesn't contain executables or libraries[1]. The sources from /usr/src are compiled to executables and saved under /usr/obj. If you don't have machines of completely different architectures, you can buildworld once, then mount /usr/obj and /usr/src as many times as you want and install the same userland/kernel to a lot of machines. - Giorgos [1] Not 100% true, but if you follow the recommended instructions for doing upgrades through source, this is what happens.

'Are you sure there is no error - did you check the sendmail log?' Yup. maillog mentions the message being sent, but indicates no error. 'You will need to ensure the script is listed in your sm.bin directory (man smrsh).' I thought smrsh was not enabled by default (?). Also, if it couldn't find it at all, wouldn't I get an error or something? I even tried changing the script to write directly to /var/mail/mymail to append the message to the actual mailbox, but that does nothing--no effect. Works fine from the command line, though.

I believe that sendmail will consider the e-mail to have been delivered if it can pipe it into your script and the script returns a successful exit code. It won't treat the script as a filter: that is, it won't read the script's output and treat that as a message to deliver. Anything your script writes to stdout will be silently discarded. If you want that re-mailing effect then you're going to have to make the script fire up another instance of sendmail, and pipe the output message from the perl script into sendmail yourself. Beware of mail loops though --- make sure you modify the 'To:' header of the message as it passes through the filter sufficiently that it doesn't hit the alias expansion again. Alternatively, take a look at procmail(8) which can be used to pass a message through a filter program and then re-send it to a new address.

If you mean "how can I delete each instance of 5 characters starting
with /aaa from a file", then something like this should do it:
perl -pi.bak -e 's:/aaa.::g;' filename
which deletes the /aaa and the following (fifth) character. If you
mean to delete the 5 characters immediately *following* /aaa then:
perl -pi.bak -e 's:(?<=/aaa).{5}::g' filename

Hi Wayne, That line in the "sh int" shows the results of Layer 1 and Layer 2. The first part indicates that the hardware (layer 1) is working. The second part indicates there is a problem with Layer 2. Which could be: clocking mismatch, keepalive mismatch, frame mismatch, wrong signalling type. Did you change the default serial encapsulation of HDLC to something else? Cisco HDLC is proprietary to Cisco and will only let you connect to another Cisco device.

net.inet.tcp send/recv question
I noticed that the recent version of Freebsd (4.7) has changed this: net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 32768 net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 57344 these values I think used to be 65536 While I think I read that this was due to better compatibility with firewalls and IPFILTER...if one does not have issues (or never had them) should these values be brought back up to 65536 ? I am looking for maximum throughput and performance, but wanted to ask about this PRIOR to making any changes... anything WRONG with using the higher values? thanks in advance :) Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

My current favorite for lightweight graphical browsing is dillo. Not too many features, and it occasionally fails to load a page, but at least it starts up immediately and doesn't take up all of your RAM.

Derrick, you'll want something lighter. KDE or Gnome is not really needed: I survived the switch straight from W2k to AfterStep (which I quickly left behind, but that's another story), and if such a lamer I am hasn't dropped dead neither will you. you have one fundamental problem: you won't want to build ports on that slow box, but packages are often compiled with the kitchen sink option turned on, which makes them somewhat bigger and slower. My recommendations: window manager: OpenBox. Light, fast, supports the NETWM hints. terminal: rxvt. not as fancy as xterm, but half the size. web browser: w3m. IMO the best text only browser. text editor: vim. this may be pretty hard for a beginner, but the help is really extensive, and you can practise in windows! -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Installation of 4.7 on Sony NoteBooks
Hello, I have been fighting with this for about about 2 weeks now. So any help is appreciated. The long and short of it is that I am not happy with windows XP. I am a MAC OS X user for the most part and I am enjoy it. So you would think that if someone hands you a windows box, FreeBSD would be the best bet... I have attempted to install it on 2 notebooks. 1st was a Sony 505 and the 4.7 install couldn't see the CD-ROM drive, but it could boot.. Strange, 2nd ~ PCG-NVR23 And a heavy notebook, but the install goes just great. The problem is the Video. If I set up the XWindows server the video gets all messed up and all I can do is restart. When I test my xf86handleConfigFile I get an error and it states something to the extent that I should d/l 5.0 or a later version of FreeBSD (doh! just picked up some Oct 2002 hard copies) Fatal Server Error : no screens found Is this the best/only way to do it? Is there a place that I can change the video settings? Has anyone got FreeBSD up and running on this laptop? Will 5.x fix my problem? I am a bit of a neb to FreeBSD, but I don't mind reading...
