Re:Re:Re: Cat a directory
Read my first post before reading this thing so you'll be on the right track Warren Block wrote (19.9.2003 17:41): Says who? cat works fine on binary files. The problem you are having is that people are using cat to *display* files. Fixing that problem could break cat for its more standard use: cat binaryfile | filter | etc. No, that's not exactly my problem as I wrote in my first post my problem is people using cat on directories. But then another guy came in with the binary files. And as the problem is both I went with binary files. Other *NIX systems seem to have done this to their cat program so why can't FreeBSD? See above. Try to run for example cat /bin in Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and other *NIXes and I'm 90% certain that they will not show the directory but an error message saying something. But then FreeBSD spits out crap which I can't see the point of ever using anywhere even when piping a tube up your ass! But since newbies do this frequently it shouldn't be possible to do so. and why is this already done to less and not cat? less is made to display files. It's the correct tool for the job. And you mean that cat is built to show directories and that's the right job for cat. Man I must of mised that in school as I thought ls was meant to show directories, but hey that's my problem, right? So you mean you use ls to show file contents and cat to show directories which workes fine, Or? Ruben de Groot wrote (19.9.2003 13:34): So why don't you for example alias cat to cat -v in your system profile and login scripts? This will display non-printing characters so they are visible and don't mangle terminal settings. So it's better for a newbie to get understandable jibrish from cat when run on directories then an error message stating that they are trying to run cat on a directory like ls says when they try to run ls on a file. But as I said earlier who cares, right? Other OSs have only had this for a couple of year so why would we!!! Why not? I regularly use constructs like this: cat somebackup.tgz | ssh someserver cd /somedir; tar xzf - Yes, but do you regularly pipe cat /bin to another program. If so, why? Because isn't cp ment to copy files and directories! Because less != cat. It has a completely different functionality. I'm aware of that! But as less doesn't show directory contents like ls doesn't show file contents I thought it would be a good example. Dan Nelson wrote (18.9.2003 17:33): I find that hard to believe. Do you also want to block catting of executables, gzipped files, jpeg files, database files, and audio files? No OS does that by default. Maybe you should teach them how to reset their terminals when they cat binary data; ^Jreset^J should work, assuming your TERM variable is set right. No, I don't necessarily want to add all of that but the directory part would be a good start. And while we're on the subject of different file types why doesn't ls support coloring of different file types like in Linux. As it would make finding certain files easier by coloring them differently depending on their ending. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hmm! I couldn't move the old kernel over! during upgrade

I don't have a recent backup of /home either (it's a hardware RAID-1, so I'm slacker than I should be about backups...) so I don't want to do a fresh install. I tried to do an upgrade from the original CD I used to install it. Things go pretty smoothly, I'm able to identify the fs partitions, and select what I want to install, but after the partitions are fscked, the install spits out the message Hmm! I couldn't move the old kernel over! And asks if I want to reboot. On the Alt-F4 shell, I can see my partitions mounted under /mnt, and I can see the kernel and modules. I can move them around (and renamed them: kernel - kernel.x) but still I get the same error message. Has anyone had this sort of trouble before, and if so, what's the fix?

Re: Cat a directory
I hesitate to step into the fray; it appears that the phrase `more heat than light' now applies. But ... Says who? cat works fine on binary files. The problem you are having is that people are using cat to *display* files. Fixing that problem could break cat for its more standard use: ... (One of my favorite bugs: the key-bug: ``If the complex hyperbolic arctan2 routine didn't give the wrong answer for arguments of ( -1, -1 ), ( -1, -1 ) the operating system scheduler would lock up.'') ... my problem is people using cat on directories. Is your problem that people use cat on directories, or that your purpose is to cater to people who, for want of training that you are yet to give them, don't know not to use cat on directories? Try to run for example cat /bin in Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and other *NIXes and I'm 90% certain that they will not show the directory but an error message ... But then FreeBSD spits out crap ... One program's crap is the file system's meat. My recollection, which I cannot test at the moment, is that on at least some of those OS's it is the OS itself which refuses to allow cat(1) to open the file, giving an EISDIR on the attempt. One could argue that Linux found it necessary to do so because Linux supports so many file system types that you couldn't interpret the directory contents anyway; they all have different internal structures; and that this indicates that Linux is, in this area, more advanced. It's certainly a plausible argument--when applied to this part of the OS's interface. (Aside to the BSD team: does the Linux personality module get this right?) ... which I can't see the point of ever using anywhere even when piping a tube up your ass! Why do we call it blue language when it is in the deep infrared? It really looks bad in print; let's please just avoid it. But since newbies do this frequently it shouldn't be possible to do so. If you're providing the accounts to them, then put the appropriate alias in their .profile or .login files, or add a path component pointing to a nubi-bin. When they take off the training wheels, they can remove the alias or the path component. Until then their safety is your concern. If someone else is providing the accounts, perhaps the someone else is open to suggestions, especially if they also have to deal with this problem? and why is this already done to less and not cat? less is made to display files. It's the correct tool for the job. And you mean that cat is built to show directories ... Man I must of mised that in school ... right? Please, this is something about which reasonable people can disagree. Linus and his team obviously disagree with the FreeBSD team; I think they are all reasonable people, even though I sometimes disagree with one or another of them. There, you see: several proofs-by-example. [Ruben de Groot] So why don't you for example alias cat to cat -v in your system profile ... So it's better for a newbie to get understandable jibrish from cat when run on directories then an error message stating that they are trying to run cat on a directory ... The case CAN be made both ways. If these are CS majors, they probably should get used to learning by picking up clues from their environment; that's how most programs are debugged and they have to learn the skills. If they are admins-in-training, the case is even stronger. So long as the terminal doesn't lock up, this is a good chance for them to develop trained curiousity. On the other hand, if you are serving accounting majors or paralegals, they would probably be better served by the error message. (Race car drivers and taxicab drivers go to different schools, except in NYCity and Boston.) It's easy to write a script that runs file(1) on the targets and cat(1)s those when the output includes [tT]ext but puts a message on 2 (standard error) otherwise. Install that as an alias, or in a path component, and the job is done, probably in less time than we've spent writing these essays. Now think about having to do that on a non-UNIX OS. It might be very hard. It might even be impossible. ... And while we're on the subject... why doesn't ls support coloring of different file types like in Linux. As it would make finding certain files easier by coloring them differently depending on their ending. Well, I think it's the file type, not the suffix, that determines the color, but my only concern is to shut the frotzenglarken color off whenever I meet a Linux system, since it makes it harder for me to read the screen rapidly. I don't deprive all users of it, I just free myself from it. You see, reasonable people can disagree. Unreasonable people argue, fume, fulminate and fester. And yes, from time to time I get unreasonable, too. Not that I'm proud of it. It's putting immediate satisfaction ahead of reaching my goals. And it looks really bad in print. Mark Terribile === The

When a client wants to send mail and authenticates properly with SMTP auth but gets an ip address listed in dsbl.org sendmail refuses to send the mail (relaying denied).

XFree86 configuration process
Hello! I would like one of two things (inclusive OR, down below!): - A pointer such as an URL to a resource where the details of the X server and configuration is explained in an understandable way, Or - An explanation as to how to use the xf86cfg tool so the end product is a usable graphic interface. I have installed FreeBSD now for about 5 years on different machines, and I find that later it has become increasingly difficult to configurate X. For me, it's more or less a trial-and-error process (if this doesn't work, then does *this*?, etc...) I admit that I don't understand X very well. I don't see why I would have to, either. This is the *only* thing I hold against FreeBSD, and I know that probably it isn't very easy to make a point-and-click configuration program for X, it seems to be a client-server thingamajig of unfathomable depths. Cthulhuoid. One of the Great Old Ones, what whith tentacles and all. Nevertheless, an understandable configuration interface would be great. A *bit* self-explanatory, maybe?

I have built kernels without 'options NFS' before without any problems, and it certainly is supposed to be possible to build a kernel without NFS support, and later load the NFS code via the module. AFAIK all the modules built can be used as modules, otherwise, as you note, there wouldn't be much point in having them as modules and the developers are generally not that stupid. In some circumstances it is necessary to have code built into the kernel rather than loaded from the corresponding module, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. One example is the ipfw.ko module. All modules are built with a fixed set of options and this module is built without 'options IPDIVERT' which is required to used natd. So if you want to use natd you need to have both 'options IPFIREWALL' and 'options IPDIVERT' in the kernel config, while if you just want a firewall without NAT support you can compile the kernel without either option and load the ipfw.ko module at runtime. Another example is if you want to boot from an NFS-mounted filesystem, in which case you need NFS support in the kernel, since otherwise the system canät load any modules. What seems to be happening during the kernel compile process is that a certain number of modules are always compiled, regardless of config file settings - the settings only determine if a given chunk of code makes it into the kernel itself. If the module is compiled into a .ko file, and if the code isn't present in the kernel, then it can be loaded by kldload. Is this correct? Yes, that is essentially correct. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Mozilla-firebird port question
Hello! I am trying to add the package mozilla-firebird, the latest version, I guess. I downloaded the package mozilla-firebird-0.6.1_1.tgz from the www.freebsd.org/ports page (well, I followed the link to www first, of course...), and another package that was missing, obviously: nspr-4.3_2.tgz. Fine, I did # pkg_add mozilla-firebird-0.6.1_1.tgz, which chugged along nicely, but complained; the output follows. When I tried to fire up the browser, nothing happened. No error, nothing. I guess this is due to the version conflicts that pkg_add complained about. Do I need to use a package *specifically* put together and pre-compiled for FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE so that the påackages don't end up in conflict? Should I take the full port? I really *would* like to use Mozilla-firebird, it's my favourite. Output of uname follows at the bottom of the page. Thanks for any help or explanations at all. /Fredrik, Stockholm.

have no idea what's going on in 5.x these days.)
Anyway, why not write a script for these users along the lines of:

KERNCONF is in caps. If you include your KERNCONF parameters in /etc/
make.conf. You can simply make kernel.
please help ...as i need to update a whole bunch of systems because

I am one of the people that think ports-all shouldn't be updated at the
same frequency as src-all. The reason is that updating ports is most
easily accomplished using portupgrade. This requires that you update
/usr/ports/INDEX and INDEX.db with every cvsup or ports-all. I update
INDEX and INDEX.db on a fast machine and ftp the INDEXes to the slower
machines. I use 2 scripts. One updates the INDEXes and the other
doesn't. I run the one that doesn't on the slower machines.

Re: CVSUP and Make World help !?!?
On Mon, Sep 22, 2003 at 11:41:23AM -0400, Brent Bailey wrote: i found this how to ...is this the correct way to update via CVSUP and make world ?? It's mostly right: probably goes a bit beyond what you actually need to do. The problem with it is here: Drop to single user mode: # shutdown now This is not right: the point is that you have to shut the system right down and reboot with the *new* kernel you've just installed. Just dropping to single user doesn't do that. Or reboot into single user mode: # shutdown -r now This is the correct version. Note that the point of rebooting into single user is two-fold. First of all, it lets you test the new kernel -- it's relatively easy to back out a duff kernel and reboot with the previous version. However, if you were to just blindly install both kernel and world together, and something went wrong, you would be without a reasonable way to back out to a previous, working system. You'ld probably have to go into complete disaster-recovery-from-backup mode. Secondly, it avoids having to boot all the way up with your new kernel and your old world. You need kernel and world to be synchronised on FreeBSD, and it's generally good practice to make sure the system is a quiescent as possible while you're updating all of the vital bits of it. As far as testing the new kernel: since you're using a well tested, release version of a stable OS (except for those of you running -CURRENT, that is) not a great deal is required. Generally if the kernel will boot up far enough to get you to single user mode, that's good enough that you can confidently carry on with the rest of the upgrade. The new kernel may still not be quite right (eg. you may have missed out some important driver from the configuration), but nothing so vital should be wrong that it can stop you fixing the problem from the upgraded system.

RE: apache error
Normally when I've seen this error in the past, it's been because of a module for php that isn't too happy with the state of affairs. What you might do is rebuild php without any modules and see if it still coredumps. If not, keep adding them back one by one until it dies again and then you'll know which module is killing it. I've had problems time and time again with libmcrypt being the culprit. I've yet to find a cure other than reinstalling libmcrypt and trying again. Once to the extent of pkg_delete'ing everything on the machine and building it back up to restore php functionality.

Printing with Samba an a HP Deskjet 870Cse
Hello, I've been struggling with this problem for the last week and I am close to getting it to work, but I seem to be missing something. I currently have a HP DeskJet 870Cse hooked up via lpt0 to FreeBSD 5.1 i386 machine. I can print text files via lpr with no problem. This is done through apsfilter. I have been able to print from other BSD machines on the network. However, when I try to print from my Windows 2000 Server machine, it fails. I have Samba installed on my print server and I can see the printer from explorer on my windows box, but any attempt to access them gives me a security error. I have tried using the wizard for setting up printers and it would complete successfully, however the test page would not print. The windows queue would state that the printer is either busy or was not allowed to print there. I suspect that there is some security protocol in Samba that I need to remove, but I don't know what that is... The logs from samba and the spools are empty. my /etc/printcap file: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL hp|hpdj/unspec;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp870:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hp870/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/hp870/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this lp|windows|raw:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/samba:\ :lf=/var/spool/samba/log:\ :af=/var/spool/samba/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sf:\ :sh: my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = WORK server string = printer hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = bsd guest account = root log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m max log size = 50 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY interfaces = 192.168.1.45 domain master = yes preferred master = yes dns proxy = no load printers = yes use client driver = yes show add printer wizard [homes] comment = Home Directories public = no browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = HP DeskJet 870Cse path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes public = yes printable = yes I have tried multiple combinations of variables in my smb.conf but have been unsuccessful.

I do have noticed quite a few of those filename-dist things on my system, like in /usr/local/www/data which is the apache root folder. You didn't say if you installed PHP from the ports collection, or from downloaded source. I use the source, so you may need to adjust my advice if that's not your situation. PHP initializes itself from a text file by default named php.ini. When you view the phpinfo() page, it will tell you in what directory PHP is expecting to find that file (it's adjustable at compile-time, and the default changes, depending on whether you're using the ports or the source). The -dist file is an example of a good php.ini file, which you will normally copy, and then modify to suit your purposes. E.g.: cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-dist /usr/local/etc/php.ini vi /usr/local/etc/php.ini In general, -dist files are intended to give you an example of a good configuration, and should be preserved unmodified, so you can compare your configuration to something known to be good, in the event you need to troubleshoot, reset to a more basic configuration, etc. HTH.

Then there's the old standby for the impatient of trying other cvsup servers. I looked at the CVSup home page and so did the following: bash-2.05b$ netstat -na |grep 5999 tcp4 0 0 *.5999 *.*LISTEN Hmmm... This suggests that you are running a cvsup server on your local system. That's all very well and good, but it doesn't really help you, running a cvsup client, to connect onto a remote cvsup server. The fact that there's no established connection is, well, exactly what cvsup told you itself already. Two bits of information: * I am accessing via a firewall. I able to browse the web, send/get mail etc. This, I suspect is the cause of all of your problems. I'd be fairly certain that the firewall config is preventing you from connecting to remote hosts on port 5999. Presumably this firewall is not under your control (or else you'ld have given us some clue about what sort of firewall it was and how you have configured it)? In which case the best thing to do is talk to the firewall administrators: they may be willing to change the config permit you to access a cvsup server once they understand what that is and that it's no threat to their network. Or they may run socks or other proxy servers which are available for you to use. You can try using telnet(1) to test connectivity, but this doesn't really tell you much more than using cvsup directly: % telnet cvsup.uk.freebsd.org 5999 Trying 195.40.122.239... Connected to cvsup.plig.net. Escape character is '^]'. OK 17 0 SNAP_16_1f CVSup server ready ^] telnet q Connection closed. If the firewall is filtering out connections to port 5999 then you'll hang before the 'Connected to cvsup' line is printed out. Unfortunately, you'll probably see exactly the same effect if the remote server isn't actually running cvsupd(8) so it's not a 100% reliable diagnostic test. * I can ping to hosts in the internal network, but not external hosts. If your firewall includes a NAT gateway, then it's often the case that you can't ping through it. Or your firewall administrators may just not like you to ping internet hosts. However, this is unlikely to have any direct relevance to solving your cvsup(1) problem.

Re: Re:Re: Cat a directory
Read my first post before reading this thing so you'll be on the right track Other *NIX systems seem to have done this to their cat program so why can't FreeBSD? See above. FreeBSD has a better view of the world than some of the kiddie OSes. Try to run for example cat /bin in Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and other *NIXes and I'm 90% certain that they will not show the directory but an error message saying something. But then FreeBSD spits out crap which I can't see the point of ever using anywhere even when piping a tube up your ass! But since newbies do this frequently it shouldn't be possible to do so. and why is this already done to less and not cat? less is made to display files. It's the correct tool for the job. And you mean that cat is built to show directories and that's the right job for cat. Man I must of mised that in school as I thought ls was meant to show directories, but hey that's my problem, right? So you mean you use ls to show file contents and cat to show directories which workes fine, Or? You need to review your thinking. Cat's job is to take the contents of a file and send it to STDOUT. It has a small number of options as to for form of the output, but otherwise, that is it. It is not intended or designed to care if the file is a text, binary, directory, etc file. Just to copy file's contents to stdout, period, done, end, get a life! Ruben de Groot wrote (19.9.2003 13:34): So why don't you for example alias cat to cat -v in your system profile and login scripts? This will display non-printing characters so they are visible and don't mangle terminal settings. Yah, do that. It is a reasonable pervsion of cat's mission. So it's better for a newbie to get understandable jibrish from cat when run on directories then an error message stating that they are trying to run cat on a directory like ls says when they try to run ls on a file. But as I said earlier who cares, right? Other OSs have only had this for a couple of year so why would we!!! ls writes a formatted display of file information. That is its purpose in life. It doesn't dump contents of files to stdout. Just because another OS takes the wrong road doesn't mean that FreeBSD should also get lost. Why not? I regularly use constructs like this: cat somebackup.tgz | ssh someserver cd /somedir; tar xzf - Yes, but do you regularly pipe cat /bin to another program. If so, why? Because isn't cp ment to copy files and directories! Different thing. Yes, cat is very often used to pipe file contents to other programs. Because less != cat. It has a completely different functionality. I'm aware of that! But as less doesn't show directory contents like ls doesn't show file contents I thought it would be a good example. They are very different things from cat. They both are intended to created formatted displays. Dan Nelson wrote (18.9.2003 17:33): I find that hard to believe. Do you also want to block catting of executables, gzipped files, jpeg files, database files, and audio files? No OS does that by default. Maybe you should teach them how to reset their terminals when they cat binary data; ^Jreset^J should work, assuming your TERM variable is set right. No, I don't necessarily want to add all of that but the directory part would be a good start. And while we're on the subject of different file types why doesn't ls support coloring of different file types like in Linux. As it would make finding certain files easier by coloring them differently depending on their ending. Doesn't it?How many file types do you want to make different colors? Anyway, that seems to depend on shell. I can get color differences. jerry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ethereal port - problems linking with libnetsnmp
Hi all: I am trying to install ethereal from ports. But I always get the same error at the link stage: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_cbc_encrypt' /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_key_sched' /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_ncbc_encrypt' It seems that ethereal port expects another libnetsnmp which is really curious because I have the lib version which ports requires: big:/usr/ports/net/ethereal $ make pretty-print-build-depends-list ... net-snmp-5.0.9 ... big:/usr/ports/net/ethereal $ portversion -v | grep net-snmp net-snmp-5.0.9 = up-to-date with port So it seems that ethereal requires a library which when linked with ethereal sources doesn't offer the necessary simbols. Anyone can help me with this topic? BTW, My ports are up to date. I have tried to deinstall net-snmp-5.0.9 but I get the same error as well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The kernel has pcm support compiled in and the sound card works mostly, but occasionally the soundcard will not work properly. For example: - xmms will be playing fine for an hour and then stop with the generic error about the soundcard being unavailable - I'll pause mplayer and unpause it only to have it crash due to the soundcard being unavailable - snes9x will stop playing the sound after a short amount of playtime Most of the time, I see an error along the lines of an illegal error. With mplayer and xmms, usually a couple of tries and the sound will work again. fstat | grep dsp will never output anything when the sound isn't working so I don't think anything else is blocking the soundcard plus I have 4 virtual channels set up so that shouldn't be possible anyway. The problem is hard to cause or predict so I can't really provide more specific situations, but I'm hoping that this has happened to someone else before. I think this has something to do with malloc(9) returning NULL. (with M_NOWAIT flag) Therefore dsp operations which requires memory allocation or realloc will fail if there is not enough memory free to immediately fullfill the alloc requests. The driver will then return ENOMEM.
