Hello,

I am presently using Mozilla Firefox as my Internet Browser and Mozilla
Thunderbird as my Email Client...
I used to be using Mozilla Internet Client Suite and it is still
installed...
I was wondering, should I desire to pkg_delete Mozilla 1.6 will it not
affect my Firefox and Thunderbird?
If it does, can I reinstall Mozilla without the Mail, Composer, and
other arguments available?
Thank you for any advice, answers, or anything...

Re: Well-supported gigabit cards under 4-stable?

[Craig Reyenga]

I have two Intel Pro1000MT's, and they work flawless. I can say with a
straight face that I have never had a problem with them. They have only been
used with one another over a crossover cable, so I can't speak for how well
they play with switches or other brands. I beleive NCI (ncix.com) has them
on sale for about the price you mentioned. I actually got one of them off of
ebay for $43 after shipping. I use an MTU setting of 9014, and it helps
performance sustantially. This testimonial actually applies to both -stable
and -current.

Hope this helps.

I find this is a bit tricky, and non-intuitive.  If I do:

rsync -var ./ system:dest/

Everything in the current directory is copied to the remote directory as it
appears in the current directory.

rsync -var subdir system:dest/

copies subdir to system:dest/subdir

rsunc -var subdir/ system:dest/

copies subdir/* to systems:dest

I often have use the ``-n'' option first to make sure it's going to do what
I want before doing the real transfer.

Incidently if one leaves off the trailing ``.'' for the destination when
copying from a remote system to the current directory, rsync will show what
it will copy if you have it set for verbose output, but won't do the copy.

rsync -vaP remote:/path/\*.sh

This will show which files it would copy

rsync -vaP remote:/path/\*.sh .

This will do the copy.

Well-supported gigabit cards under 4-stable?

[Tillman Hodgson]

Howdy,

I found a few threads on this topic in google, but they were from a
while ago (-stable and hardware are both moving targets, after all).

I'm interesting in seeing what low-cost gigabit cards are supported
under -stable and which cards might be recommended. I'm looking
specifically at the Linksys EG1032, D-Link DGE-530T, Intel Pro1000MT,
and the Micronet SP2612R. All are relatively cheap (Can$64 and lower),
are easily obtained in Canada via the popular online merchants, and
would be within reach a typical (though geeky) home network.

Most of my computers will remain 100Mbit, but I'd like to move my main
file server to 1000Mbit. All the other machines do full dumps to it
every night (which eventually end up on tape), so it spends a fairly
large portion of every day with it's interface completely saturated
(and it's worse on weekly dump days).

I'm primarily concerned with driver stability. For example, I noticed
some messages in the archives about the nge driver causing problems ...
that was some time ago, but I'd like to avoid that on a server which
handles my backups ;-) I'm also interested in nice vlan and jumbo frame
support, though I can get by without them.

So what's recommended by folks running gigabit gear these days?

"-P" is the same as specifying both "--partial" and "--progress".
"--progress" means to show a progress meter.  Normally, if you
interrupt rsync while it is transferring a file, rsync will delete the
partially transferred file.  If you give the "--partial" option, it
will not do that.

The advantage of specifying "--partial" is that you can interrupt it
in the midst of transferring a 1G file, and then you can resume the
transfer later.

> What will be difference between
> './ $remote:$directory'  and  '$remote:$directory/'

This question does not make sense.  You should ask for the difference
between './ $remote:$directory' and '$remote:$directory/ .'; note the
trailing period.

If you say "rsync a b" then this means copy from a to b, if you say
"rsync b a", then this means copy from b to a.  In the above case, "a"
was "." and "b" was "$remote:$directory" ...

Explaining the trailing slash is more difficult.  I just remember a
rule of thumb: if you want to copy directories with rsync, always
specify a trailing slash.  On both the source and the destination.  Of
course, "man rsync" has the full story...

Re: Two-way Sync of Directories - how? (rsync?)

[Steven N. Fettig]

-P appears to allow you to show progress graphically with the -v switch 
also chosen.

I think his example:

cd $directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP ./ $remote:$directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP $remote:$directory/ .
was meant to look like:

cd $directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP ./ $remote:$directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP $remote:$directory ./ <-- (dot)(slash) not (slash)(space)(dot)
a trailing slash copies directory contents whereas not having the slash copies that directory, too.  (I.E. if I am rsyncing /home/me on two machines, /home/me will copy everything including the me directory, whereas /home/me/ will only copy the contents of me.  This becomes important - as I have learned the hard way - when syncronizing two dissimilar directories - i.e. /home/me to /backup/me/date.)  

hth,
Steve Fettig
p.s.  I hope I got Bill's message correctly...

Better yet, set up the directories in the rsyncd.conf files on
each machine:
cd $directory
rsync -vaurP ./ ${remote}::dir_module/
rsync -vaurP ${remote}::dir_module/ .

pkg_update was removed a while ago..it was incomplete and no-one was

Deskjet 3320

[Owen Becker]

Greetings All,
Anyone managed to get an HP Deskjet 3320 working under FreeBSD 5.2.1?
It's nicely plugged in, previously recognised and printed upon by windows 2000.
It's also sadly not working.
Dmesg reports:
ulpt0: hp deskjet 3320, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
ulpt0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected

ulpt0: hp deskjet 3320, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
ulpt0: output error

Also, 
cat /home/foo/foo.txt > /dev/u[n]lpt0 

returns zilch. Anyone figured out how to get this cheap piece of crap^W 
hardware printing or is it on of these damn windows only printer I keep 
reading about?

[OT?] write C program with UTF16LE

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. Although I write some php/perl script, I don't write C program. Now 
I have a very large text file in UTF16LE format, the rule is strings are 
seperated by numbers. Say

0300 6100 6200 6300 0400 6700 5400 9800 7400 0300 

Leading 0300 means the following 3 characters (6 bytes) is a string, and 
the next 0400 means the following 4 characters makes another string.

I need to read the file and replace every number-style string seperator 
with a linefeed. I decide to use C, it is a good chance to start some 
practice on C. The old getc() I learnt from school is not my cup of tea, 
because I always need to do two getcs at once, and for the seperators I 
need to do getc()+getc()*256. What is the best practics to deal with such 
number/UTF16 mixed text? 

I googled around and find some tutorials, most i18n toturials think I'm 
already a C expert:( I find the glibc manual looks good learning resource, 
but I am the kind of newbie don't know if I am using glibc at all. When I 
just write 
#include 
Am i using the stdio.h from glibc?

I think simply point me a tutorial that fits me will do me more help.

Thank you.

Re: vinum messages

[Ben]

sorry i didn't use the proper format, and sorry for being a dumb user.
i eventually figured it out, i hadn't read the Gotcha's section of
your man page.

for those who are interested: i took the volume offline, reset the
configuration (somehow one of my subdisks had gotten into a state
where it was pointing to an invalid drive), redid the configuration,
and did the all important

vinum start

on the secondary volume.  it revived, and now i have a RAID-1 mirror.

thanks for the help,

Dear Chuck,

I would go for the NFS mounting. Is it posible that you didn't setup the

I used to do that, or include an actual newline in a script, but it just
seems wrong from maintainability and readability standpoints.

It seems slightly better to get a newline in a shell variable and then
use that.

This doesn't help.  See

The messages above are (for once) quite clear.  You have a plex down
on your drive local.  'vinum list' will show that.  You need to fix
it.  That's done with the 'vinum start' command, after you fix the
problem, which may be a simple matter, or it may indicate a defective
disk.

Re: ssh

[Robert Storey]

Can machine B ping the other machine? Even if it can, you might still be
blocking ssh (port 22) with your firewall (if you've installed a
firewall on B). If you do have a firewall, shut it down temporarily and
then see if ssh works.

Robert

I thought it was the other way around, that the gnu version of
sed accepts the standard ``C'' escape sequences, but the FreeBSD
version doesn't.  I always use the gnu tools configured with the
program-prefix='g' option, and referenced as ``gsed'' rather than
depending the the native ``sed'' doing what I expect.

This works with sed in /bin/sh and ksh:

sed -e 's/  */\
/g' my_test_text_document.txt

I.e., escape an actual newline. Two spaces before the '*'.

It doesn't work in csh. Don't know why...

log rotation

[Bart Silverstrim]

Quick questions:
I've run across some mumblings in the ClamAV lists about Clamd not
logging anymore (or not scanning anymore?) when the maximum
logfile size is reached.  Is anyone in FreeBSD running this, and if so,
are you using Newsyslog to rotate the logs?  What are your settings
(how would I set it up)?
Elaborations:
I didn't know what would be a safe way to do this, since I also have
an every-four-hour update running for the clamav and I didn't know
 what would happen if
A) the update for the database falls at a moment when the log is
 rotating
B) I didn't find the "proper" way to rotate the log so Clamd doesn't
have an open file handle on a log being rotated and/or have clamd
try writing to the file while it's being rotated
C) how can clamd have the file rotated without being "temporarily
disabled" running into problems because that disabled clamd may
be called on in that period by amavisd-new to do a virus scan on
a mail message...
Anyone got a good log rotation scheme in place to handle this
automatically without running into problems?
Thanks!

I think this is a BSD thing, and sed on other systems does handle \n and
other literals in substitutions.  It's annoying enough that I just use
Perl instead.

perl -pe 's/ /\n/g' my_test_text_document.txt

which actually would be better as

perl -pe 's/\s./\n/g' my_test_text_document.txt

sed(1) can do it, but it's cleaner and simpler to use tr(1):

% cat foo
I have just written five paragraphs of absolute jibberish and wish that 
I could get sed to work the way that I want.  Oh how this question has 
plagued me!
% tr -s ' ' '\n' < foo
I
have
just
written
five
paragraphs

absolute

and

sed

[OT] sed question

[Steven N. Fettig]

Sorry for posting an off-topic question to the list, but this is 
somethin that has been driving me nuts for weeks now and I can't figure 
it out.  I want to pass a text file through sed that replaces all 
whitespaces with a carriage return.  I.e., if I have the file 
my_test_text_document.txt that is a few paragraphs of writing, I want to 
take the following input:

I have just written five paragraphs of absolute jibberish and wish that 
I could get sed to work the way that I want.  Oh how this question has 
plagued me!

And have sed output:
I
have
just
written
five
paragraphs
of
absolute
jibberish
and
... you get the point.
I can't figure out what the newline character is... I've tried \n \r &\, 
etc. with no avail.  I run the following:

sed 's/[ ]/\n/g' my_test_text_document.txt

and the output never has a newline added regardless of what I have 
substituted \n with.  I have also used " instead of ' and that hasn't 
helped...
Sorry for the question, but I'd really appreciate the help!

Because not all OSes have login.access, openssh runs on many platforms
like linux which has no login.access.  Does openbsd have a login.access?
Since that is it's native os then that gives even more reason.  And, for
security reasons openssh uses it's own login procedure and doesn't trust
the systems login command.  By adding UseLogin true, it will use the
system login command which, of course, obeys all the system policies
like login.allow.

 (Data -- usually a RDBMS backend, Logic -- business logic middle
 ware: web based applications in Perl, Java or PHP are becoming
 popular in this role; and Presentation -- either a specialised
 'thick' client application or more and more often nowadays a web
 browser (the ultimate 'thin' client)).
   * Generally require a degree of bespoke work for each client -- if
 not writing the entire system from scratch, then assembling it
 from a library of modules and customising various parts to the
 clients specific needs.
   * Very rarely done as Free or Open Source projects.  About the
 only good example I can think of is the 'RT' Trouble Ticket
 management system: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ Usually such
 projects are done on a contract basis for each specific client.
 Most companies supplying such software will have a generic
 version available more as a shop window than as a serious sales
 proposition -- RT is towards the generic end of the spectrum.
This sort of software business is huge, and lucrative.  Up at the top
end, this is where the likes of Oracle and SAP make the majority of
their money.  But businesses of all scales need these sorts of
applications, and there are certainly opportunities for people willing
to exploit the freedoms (and lack of licensing costs) of open source
software.  If you can provide an effective and cost effective solution
to a small business, they aren't going to quibble too much about it
running on some weird system like FreeBSD that they've never heard of
before.  And you aren't going to have too many worries about costs and
OS problems and dealing with viruses etc. making it uneconomic to take
their money in order to provide a support service for a system running
on our favourite OS.
While such applications need not be 'free' in the free-beer sense, or
even generally published to the 'net at large, there's no overriding
reason for them not to be open source between the customer and vendor
-- in fact, that would generally prove a great selling point at the
low end: even if the vendor goes bust, the client is not left entirely
high and dry if they have access to the source code.
This is perhaps the next great opening where Free software can make
in-roads, after the 'generic server' market and the network appliance
market.  It's certainly a much more tractable proposition at the
moment than attempting to conquer the desktop market.
	Cheers,

Excellent post, Matthew; and this is most certainly
what I was hinting at. I currently have lots on my
plate, but one project I'm excited about, if not quite
worked up enough to finish (!) is a web-app for a
particular warehousing niche.  Many retail business
are utilizing web-based/browser apps on the sales
floor; I see no reason why this shouldn't hold true
in the warehouse.  Almost every job seeker in most locales
within a few more years (if not already) will be at least
"passing" familiar with the interface
I already have created a grotesque monster in
PHP that tracks my appointments, submits my
worklogs to my billing service, calcs my checkbook,
manages customer data & domains, monitors
my servers, reports my yearly income/diem, holds a
document repository for FreeBSD, PHP, MySQL, etc.
As you've noted, the real issue is that anything
generic enough to apply to "most any" niche is
not specific enough to be useful to the average
user, (e.g. nola, dea, etc., well, possibly!)

I would do this with two rsync runs from one machine

cd $directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP ./ $remote:$directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP $remote:$directory/ .

Better yet, set up the directories in the rsyncd.conf files on
each machine:

cd $directory
rsync -vaurP ./ ${remote}::dir_module/
rsync -vaurP ${remote}::dir_module/ .

Is NFS an option? It does mean that the client will have slower file access,
but it would appear to do exactly what you are after...

Hope this at least partially helps.

Two-way Sync of Directories - how? (rsync?)

[Steven N. Fettig]

I have two workstations I use (one at home and one at work) connected 
via a private DSL link that each have the directories /home/me.  I want 
to run a cron job to sync the directories (bi-directionally).  Rsync 
seems to work only in one direction (I know I could set up the script on 
both machines), but I wanted to see if I could run the script on one 
machine and simply copy new files over to the lacking machine or update 
files via checksums (where a file has been updated on one machine and I 
want that updated file to be copied over the old file on the other 
machine).  I am not worried about the case where I might update a given 
file on both machines at the same time - it doesn't happen.
Any advice and scripts that you use to accomplish this?

Put the following line in /boot/loader.conf:

You shouldn't need to compile pcm into your kernel -- there's a kld for it.

Re: Pernicious problem with vfork / qmail / qmail-scanner (RESOLVED)

[Justin Baugh, KSC]

Happen to catch this, this morning... Good dig on this..

Tcpserver *defaults* to a maximum of 40 simultaneous connections, so 
this could very well be where your problem is.. Sorry, should have 
thought of this earlier.

You can raise this limit with the -c n (n=number) option..

Please see


Nope, I'm aware of that limit, and -c was set to 120. The problem
would arise with any number for n...no matter what, it would still get
caught up at 40 connections.
The fact that I couldn't replicate the problem with the exact same setup
under 5.2.1R makes me think it's something related to the version that
came with the machine.
Thanks,

Yes, being able to install security updates is a cool thing.  I've now
installed it and read the freebsd-update(8) and freebsd-update.conf(5)
man pages.

Alas, I don't grok it, yet.

  - Is the intent that I can make my own server?  Or is it "just" a
convenient way to receive binary upgrades for releases?  (I put
the quotes there because I think it is not a small feat.)

  - If I'm supposed to be able to make my own server, how to put stuff
there?

  - What does it do with config files during the upgrade?  (Actually,
I think for me it would be sufficient for the thing to install
default config files -- I've got cfengine to handle the rest...)

  - Can it upgrade from one version to another, or is it for security
fixes only?

Regardless of the answers, however, I can already see that it will
help us tremendously: we just install a release, then let
freebsd-update handle the rest for the base system.  And for the
ports, we think of another way, such as the "portupgrade -avRPP"
command that I mentioned before.

Now the only thing missing is my ability to convince them ;-)

so i can't tell if i'm being paranoid but is everything OK?  here's my
vinum.conf:

drive backuplocal device /dev/ad2s2e
volume local
 plex org concat
  sd length 55487111s drive mainlocal

it's important that this RAID-1 setup be fault-tolerant, after all
that's why i want software RAID!

Need to reboot to restart apache after crash

Subject: Need to reboot to restart apache after crash

this is a strange situation i thought i'd post and try to get some
expertise on.

the short version is, i do something to get mod_python to crash.  i
then try to clean up all the tmp files, look for open files, sysv ipc
stuff, etc.  but even after all that i can't get apache to run again
without a full reboot.  it seems very strange that the runs of apache
should be any different!  i'm looking for ways to clean up the system
without rebooting, ala ipcrm, etc.

the details:

i'm debugging something right now which seems to crash apache 2.0.48
(pre-fork) and mod_python 3.1.3 on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE x86.  i'm not
terribly worried about that.  but after i crash it, when i try to run
it again i get log msgs like:

[Thu Mar 11 10:08:51 2004] [notice] mod_python: Creating 32 session mutexes
based on 50 max processes and 0 max threads.
(24)Too many open files: mod_python: Failed to reinit global mutex
/tmp/mpmtx84815.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
[Thu Mar 11 10:08:52 2004] [error] make_obcallback: could not import
mod_python.apache.
ImportError: No module named mod_python.apache
[Thu Mar 11 10:10:38 2004] [error] (24)Too many open files: apr_accept: (client
socket)

i've cleaned up /tmp/mpm*, /var/run/httpd.scoreboard, etc.  i've also
verified that in fact

kern.openfiles: 68
kern.maxfiles: 12328
kern.maxfilesperproc: 11095

and raised the openfiles limit on the www process, and checked lsof
which says there isn't much open.  so it looks like some kind of
shared memory / locking thing, except that ipcs tells me not much: i
guess it's not a sysv ipc thing.

does anyone know how to clean house for this kind of stuff?

thanks in advance, B

Data recovery.

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

I've just had a disk (pretty much) fail on me.

  I'd been suspect of it for some time now, but finally confirmed it
with a reinstall to 5.2.1 when GEOM started removing it for me ;)  Some
more tests with smartmontools (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/)
indicate read failures at the same position on the disk.

  This problem is made worse by the fact that this is a 100GB disk, part
of a Vinum RAID-0 array (together with two more 120GB disks).

  I have managed to get my hands on a 123GB disk for backing up the data
to to.  I know I am going to have to use dd for this, but this is
something I've never done before (short of a quick flirt with floppy
images, etc.)

  Since GEOM has previously removed the volume when it hit the bad area
I need to know if I can disable this to recover as much data as possible
(some is better than none).  If this requires installing 4 then that's
how I'll have to do it.

  Basically I would like to ask -questions if anybody has any advice
(other than ``you should have made backups'' -- I was in the process of
buying a 3Ware RAID card for this purpose ;) as to how I should go about
this.  Anything at all... I'm pretty desperate at this point!

  Thanks very much,

-lewiz.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly: 

You want to pkg_ add a package but it needs additional software you
have already installed "by hand" (configure, make, make install)

or do you want to install (register?) "hand-built" software as
a package via pkg_add?

http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update

It's still in development, so it hasn't been adopted yet as an
official FreeBSD thing, but that surely is just a matter of time.
Works exceedingly well, and because of Colin Percival's binary diff
tool, it's really very light weight in the bandwidth usage stakes.

It's available from ports, of course:

security/freebsd-update

The 'binary upgrade' option in sysinstall is a different thing: it's
essentially a mechanism for wiping and replacing your current system
with that release version, backing up various important config files
as it does so.  You still need to repopulate your /etc directory by
merging the updated default contents with the saved versions, and it's
generally not as smooth to do as the more usual means of
{build,install} {world,kernel} and running mergemaster. (Unless you're
upgrading over a large number of versions or across a major version
number change).

Cheers,

Matthew

Hello FreeBSD gurus!

I have a question for you.

I have two computers, both of them running FreeBSD 2.5.1-RELEASE.
Let us call them A and B.

Computer A receives ssh connections from computers running
Linux, Solaris and even Windows; it also receives connections
from FreeBSD 4.x and 5.1  but it does not receive
ssh connections from B.

A ask for password and then it takes a long time to say
"Operation timmed out"
"Connection to A closed".

Enabling "sshd" in rc.d or using it from inetd makes no difference.

Strange, isn't it?

Hope you can help me.

Binary upgrades?

[Kai Grossjohann]

I'm trying to convince my cow-orkers and my boss to switch to FreeBSD
from Debian GNU/Linux.  The systems we are talking about are
workstations (desktop or laptop PCs), our servers are running Solaris.

So far, my experience with FreeBSD has been running on my home
computer.  There, I use "portupgrade -avR" for upgrading the ports,
and the procedure described in /usr/src/UPDATING for upgrading the
base system.

Some of us will want to just use the machine, without bothering about
the configuration.  Others will act as sysadmins, tweaking the
configuration.  I've already pretty much decided that cfengine will be
our friend -- it allows us to tweak the configuration incrementally,
and all those who don't want to think about it will get the config
changes automatically.

Now comes the issue of upgrading the system.

I understand that this will be fairly easy for the ports collection:
just nfs-mount the right directories, and pass "-pP" to the
portupgrade program.  Maybe those who don't want to think about it can
say "portupgrade -avRPP".  (Is this the right command?)

But for the base system, I'm not so sure.  I've read the chapter in
the handbook talking about nfs-mounting /usr/obj and /usr/src.  But
that still requires people to do

shutdown now
cd /usr/src
mergemaster -p
make installkernel installworld
mergemaster

Is this correct?

I wonder if this could be made easier.  I'd be surprised if there
wasn't a method of doing binary upgrades already.  For example, if we
decided to track releases, would that enable us to do binary upgrades
using sysinstall, say?  I vaguely remember having seen an upgrade
option in there...

I guess I just haven't read the right documentation, yet.  Normally,
with FreeBSD, one doesn't need to ask the community, one just reads
the documentation ;-)

That is exactly what I'm trying to do.  I did find the login.access
file, but it didn't seem to work.

I set the user up as follows:
-:userid:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL

which I understand is the correct syntax.  Problem is how to get it to
take effect without a reboot.  The manpage doesn't say anything about
restarting or HUPing a process - like you would inetd after changing
inetd.conf.

A quick Google revealed that sshd doesn't honor the login.access by
default.  I set UseLogin to 'yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, HUPed sshd,
and it seems to work fine.

Seems to me this should be cause for concern.  Why would sshd ignore
login.access by default?  Shouldn't all shell access methods honor any
form of access restriction by default?

Thanks.

"BranchPoint" -- it's a baseline for creating a set of release tags.
Normally, those tags will only be of interest to release engineers.

The former.  RELENG_5_2 is the tag for the patches.
[The update may not be that "minor," depending on your particular

Well, there are some ways to do this, but you're almost certainly
wrong about wanting to do it at all.

See the FAQ entry

This is how I understand the problem:

Home connects to vpn1 at work, creating a tun1 device.  Problem is
that vpnc doesn't create a default route to vpn1.  Point is that I
don't want EVERYTHING going through tun1, because that would cause
problems with mail traffic coming from other places (this is my home
network gateway).

Once I set up routes to the vlan that Work belongs to, setting up the
IP given to tun1 as the gateway, Home can connect to work.

Problem is that the default route still goes to tun0 (my dsl device)
which cannot change without interfering with all other traffic into
the box.

The question is can I set things up so that Work will come through the
VPN pipe to get to Home?

I'm starting to think I can't.

Essentially yes.  However, you should 'pkg_delete -f' the old version
of pkg-B first, and then pkg_add the new one.  (Mostly because the
different versions of pkg-B will have a large number of files in
common, and pkg_delete will delete them even if they really belong to
the newer version.)

You'll still find that pkg-A says it depends on the older version of
pkg-B -- you can either ignore this, as it has no effect on the
functionality of pkg-A, or you can delete and re-install pkg-A after
you do pkg-B, or you can go into /var/db/pkg/pkg-A/ and edit the
+REQUIRED_BY file to correct the version numbers.

Or you can install portupgrade, in which case all you need to do is
copy the pkg-B-1.2.tgz file to /usr/ports/packages/All and then run
the command:

# portupgrade -f -P pkg-B

and all of the necessary deleting and re-installing and fiddling with
the /var/db/pkg/ files will be done for you.

Cheers,

Matthew

Don't know about the time zone issue, but if the time offset is too

note that the ntpdate is to be retired in favor of ntpd.

There is no error involved here, just warnings.

You could update your compiler, and the warnings should go away.

Not really.  Note, however, that it's the actual free space that can
cut into performance, rather than the minimum free setting.  You will
only take the hit when the disk is getting close to full.

They are supported but not out-of-the-box. I'm assuming you already know about 
the ports collection. If you haven't installed it yet, you should. 

For Flash you'll probably want to install www/linux-flashplugin6 and the 
www/linuxpluginwrapper ports. Make sure to read the blurb about 'libmap.conf' 
that shows after it installs and follow the directions (basically you just 
copy and paste the example, it's not that hard). This stuff is needed to make 
the FreeBSD browser able to work with binary plugins for linux. I take it you 
want it to work in Konqueror. Go to Settings -> Configure -> Plugins. Make 
sure it has the correct path to libflashplayer.so, then tell it to scan for 
plugins and itt should be found. You may also need to go to File associations 
(mimetypes) and explicitly select the Netscape plugin for embedded playing of 
the types application/futuresplash and application/x-shockwave-flash. 

For Java, you'll need to install it first. Unfortunately, it's not legally 
possible for the FreeBSD people to distribute a binary Java package yet for 
5.X, that's JDK 1.4). It involves dowloading a Linux JRE to be able to 
bootstrap the build, as well as the source and some FreeBSD specific patches. 
If you follow the directions you shouldn't have much trouble, except that it 
takes a long time to build (once it's compiling you can leave it unattended). 
It can take a day or longer depending on how fast your computer is. Once 
that's all done, you'll only need to tell Konqueror where to look for java, 
just give it the full path, something like /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.

>Other languages? how to enable it? Turkish/Arabic?

There are ports for a lot of the available language versions of KDE. 
See /usr/ports/misc/kde3-i18n* and for KOffice /usr/ports/misc/koffice-i18n*
If you install any of them, they will appear as a language choice in your KDE 
wizard. At least there's Turkish: kde3-i18n-tr. I had a quick look at 
i18n.kde.org and there's also an arabic (i18n-ar) but it's not in ports yet.

You're getting a plain twm with xterms. Look at /home/you/.xinitrc, it's in 
there. To have KDE start when you type 'startx' as a user simply do this:

% echo startkde > ~/.xinitrc

There are niches like this for all sorts of business applications --
Customer Relationship Management, Payroll, Account Books, Billing
Systems, Business Development Information Management, Trouble Ticket
Management.  The common characteristics seem to be:

* That they are or can be generally structured as 3-tier systems
  (Data -- usually a RDBMS backend, Logic -- business logic middle
  ware: web based applications in Perl, Java or PHP are becoming
  popular in this role; and Presentation -- either a specialised
  'thick' client application or more and more often nowadays a web
  browser (the ultimate 'thin' client)).

* Generally require a degree of bespoke work for each client -- if
  not writing the entire system from scratch, then assembling it
  from a library of modules and customising various parts to the
  clients specific needs.

* Very rarely done as Free or Open Source projects.  About the
  only good example I can think of is the 'RT' Trouble Ticket
  management system: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ Usually such
  projects are done on a contract basis for each specific client.
  Most companies supplying such software will have a generic
  version available more as a shop window than as a serious sales
  proposition -- RT is towards the generic end of the spectrum.

This sort of software business is huge, and lucrative.  Up at the top
end, this is where the likes of Oracle and SAP make the majority of
their money.  But businesses of all scales need these sorts of
applications, and there are certainly opportunities for people willing
to exploit the freedoms (and lack of licensing costs) of open source
software.  If you can provide an effective and cost effective solution
to a small business, they aren't going to quibble too much about it
running on some weird system like FreeBSD that they've never heard of
before.  And you aren't going to have too many worries about costs and
OS problems and dealing with viruses etc. making it uneconomic to take
their money in order to provide a support service for a system running
on our favourite OS.

While such applications need not be 'free' in the free-beer sense, or
even generally published to the 'net at large, there's no overriding
reason for them not to be open source between the customer and vendor
-- in fact, that would generally prove a great selling point at the
low end: even if the vendor goes bust, the client is not left entirely
high and dry if they have access to the source code.

This is perhaps the next great opening where Free software can make
in-roads, after the 'generic server' market and the network appliance
market.  It's certainly a much more tractable proposition at the
moment than attempting to conquer the desktop market.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hello again, all.

Consider a bad package management system... or .. I don't know!

1) Why, if the package P depends on A-1.2.3 and I manually `pkg_add 
A-1.2.3_1`, the package P still look for A-1.2.3 and don't want to install?

Suppose version of A-1.2.3_X includes the minor patches to version 1.2.3. So 
why such an issue is held?

2) Why If I have pkg_add-ed packages C-1.2.3 and C-1.2.4 and later hoped to 
pkg_update C-1.2.4 ... it found dis-MD5'n in +CONTENTS's files (I 
understand why) but deletes any way them and C-1.2.3, then pkg_add (in 
script) C-1.2.4,... but _does_not_ resign +REQUIRED_BY file for C-1.2.4 from 
C-1.2.3 and does not resample their (pkgs from +REQUIRED_BY) +REQUIRES files?


Or I have wrong seeing of the packages world?  Direct me right.

I don't think there was deliberate sabotage.  It was a programming
error that led to some early versions of NT4 having a counter
roll-over every 42 days, causing the system to crash.  The greatest
irony of all was that Microsoft were touting NT4 at the time as a
"Unix killer" and promising that five-nines uptimes could be achieved,
at the same time as officially advising all users to reboot their
systems every 30-something days.  Somebody calculated that meant that
NT4 would have to be able reboot in well under a minute...

Cheers,

Matthew

Checking hard disks for bad sectors?

[Chad M Stewart]

I've wiped Linux from my older server and am going to be putting 
FreeBSD 4.9 on it.  I've got 4 drives of various sizes and some are 
quite old.  I'd like to run some sort of utility on the drives to check 
for and mark bad sectors.  Is there something in the ports collection 
to enable me to do this?

Thanks,
Chad

This shouldn't be an impassable obstacle to making a tn3270 port --
there is precedent in the ports tree for having the port require
various parts of the system sources to be present in order to build.
See, for instance, the net/ng_netflow or the devel/linuxthreads ports.

Having a good, well maintained port available will go a long way
towards persuading most committers that the tn3270 application should
be restored to the base system.  Not all the way, but it will make a
difference.

Cheers,

Matthew

Subject: Changing configuration options for ports
I've posted this question about building GSSAPI into my Cyrus-SASL port
On principle to compile any port with kerberos support (if the port has
such) it is enogh to set KRB5_HOME variable in /etc/make.conf. For
illiustration I use MIT Kerberos and in my make.conf I have:
...
KRB5_HOME=  /usr/local
...
According to sasl2 Makefile that will do the trick, but I'm not sure
because I don't use sasl2.
installation a couple of times, but not receiving any response to how to
make the changes to the port install. I just need to confirm what I'm
doing is correct, can't seem to find anything in the Handbook related to
re-installing the same port to enable support options.
Right now, I am just editing the Makefile and adding the config options
I need and then 'make deinstall' and 'make reinstall'. But this doesn't
seem to work. The port builds OK, but no support for the option enabled.
For instance, Cyrus-IMAPD, I add to the Makefile
'--with-krb=/usr/local/lib' under the CONFIGURE_ARGS section, but
afterward, no support for Kerberos. Can someone just tell me what I'm
doing wrong.

Hi all,... 
have a question: suppose I've pkg_add'ed a pkg-B-1.1 on which a pkg-A depends, 
later I've pkg_add'ed the next v. of pkg-B-1.2 now `pkg_delete pkg-B-1.1` 
says that pkg-A depends on it

May I use ``force'' to deinstall oldest version... or I must keep all the tree 
for old dependant pkgs to work fine?

Just recently I read somewhere that there were a couple of guys working on 
porting the ATI Linux FireGL drivers to FreeBSD. Apparently they hang out in 
#ati on irc.freenode.org. I dropped by there and was unable to find out who 
they were, but they do show up.

Also on OSNews or Rage3D some time ago there was talk of an ATI employee (I 
think) who was having problems with the FreeBSD kernel module development of 
the FireGL driver.

Lets hope something comes from all of this.
