So you have to go there if you want to print color. Over the years I've had a couple of inkjet printers, starting with a Deskjet 500. All of them had trouble with ink cartridges drying out after a couple of weeks non-use. This is a thing of the past with the new Epson inkjets that use the durabrite ink. And with that ink being rediculously expensive, I decided not to bother with inktjets anymore. I had a Laserjet 5L for about 6 years, I think. It was still on the original toner cassette when I gave it to a friend. Those are rated something around 5000 prints. I go through that in a year and a half on my HP 4+ Another department of a company I used to work for designed and manufactured parts for (consumer) inkjet printers for HP and others. According to the people who worked there, those printers were definitely not engineered to last. This really depends on the printer. If your talking the HP Deskjets 5xx that whole 5xx model line - then yes. If your talking the earlier Epson ESC printers, then no. The big problem with those in fact was that they were designed to be used in business that was printing all the time and without enough printing they would dry up, and if that happened since the print head was separate from the ink, it would ruin the printer. But, they worked forever as long as you kept them printing. This also wasn't true for the HP deskjet 1600 as that was also an industrial printer - it took HP printserver cards, and also came with a postscript option. Today though things have changed a lot - HP and the other printer manufacturers have definite lines that are business and that are consumer, and inkjets are in both lines. As for winprinters, I decided not to buy any printer if it doesn't understand postscript. Life's too short to go hunting after obscure drivers. To all my other FreeBSD systems, the Epson C84 IS a color Postscript printer. It's only a winprinter to the FreeBSD system that is doing the conversion from Postscript to Epsonspeak. And color laserprinters are coming down in price. I recently bought a Color Laserjet 2550L for ¤ 439,-. Installing it amounted to feeding the ppd file to CUPS. And it works every time. The colour output might not be up to six-colour inkjet with special photo paper, but It Works For Me. If it lasts as long and trouble-free as my old 6L, I consider it money well-spent. That's a 600 dpi print engine. And the 5000 page print at 5% for each cartridge means 250 pages at 100% coverage per cartridge. Thus, if your thinking of printing pictures - forget it. You might get 500-1000 pages of pictures then all 3 color cartridges will be exhausted, and that's a $300 bill to replace them all. These kinds of color laserjets are good for businesses where they are printing graphs and reports that make use of color. The image quality isn't really good enough for photo or high quality picture and the cost per page for printing pictures is pretty high. By contrast the HP 1200 inkjet is a 1200 dpi printer. Ink cartridges are rated at 1750 pages at 5% and cost $34 per cartridge, which puts them comparable to the HP color laserjet cartridges in price. The printer itself is less than half the cost of the 2550L.

The procedure in UPDATING is followed strictly. I have done many installations on different machines and never had trouble with optimizations in make.conf (except when I specified the wrong CPU once :)).

Ted Mittelstaedt writes: Your missing the point. It's far more cost-effective for a business to not hire a bunch of whiners in the first place. They aren't whiners. It's perfectly logical for them to want to work with software for which they are already trained, No, it isn't. When they are punching my clock they work the way I tell them to. That is why -I- am paying -them-. If they want to work their own way they are welcome to start their own business and work for themselves however way they want. and it's equally logical for a company to let them work with software for which they are already trained. There's no reason at all to retrain them on something completely different. For starters, as I already indicated, expectation levels are different for different levels of employees. Someone who is getting paid a lot of money should not be dependent on the company training them, they should take responsibility for their own training. If they go to work for the company and the company uses Brand X software, well then they know this when they go to work for the company and they better take responsibility for training themselves using the manuals, or finding a class somewhere and expensing it to the company. But to expect that I'm going to go out and arrainge training and schedule these people is rediculous. These are grown people they can arrainge their own schedules and training. For God's sake, we pay their expenses, the least they can do is set it up for themselves. Prior training that an employee brings to the company may or may not have value to the company. Quite obviously, companies try to make an effort to hire people who have some prior training that is useful. But, with the wide variety of office equipment and other technical systems these days, it is much more important to hire someone who has the QUALITIES that will help your business. For example, I go to hire a salesman, I'm looking for someone who has a good rapport with people and who can close a deal. I really don't give a crap if he knows Excel or not, and I am certainly not going to make a hiring decision that would take that into account. The miniscule amount of money it would cost for him to take a training class in Excel would be paid back 100fold if he has the magic of sales in him. But I don't expect this kind of whining from someone I hire at $30K a year to actually do some real clerical work that requires some responsibility, and I am not going to stand for it for the $60K and above grown up adult that I hire for a managerial or ops position or some such. I guess you can spend another $60K on training them to use something else and hope they don't leave until you amortize that additional expense (if you ever do). But that doesn't seem to make very good business sense. It actually makes a lot of business sense depending on what they are doing. If I am hiring a financial controller who is responsible for a 10 million a year operating cost, if I have a system that tracks that 10 million better than any of my competitors systems track their 10 million for their operating costs, then $60K is cheap insurance to prevent a mistake that might cost a million. Most of the big company financial systems, no matter WHAT platform they are built on, are quite complex, so your going to spend the same money training them on either a MS system or a UNIX system. But in any case, $60K for training is a rediculous figure to begin with. Very little Microsoft or Sun desktop training that is out there costs anywhere near this amount, and what does cost this takes place in Vegas or Hawaii, and is effectively a way for a company to pay for someone's vacation without it showing up as income to them, and allowing it to be written off for the company. Unfortunately, there's still too many upper managers in business today who came of age before the computer became integrated into business, and chose to be lazy and not learn how to use them, and as a result today cannot themselves operate the things, so it is not possible for them to hold their employees to any kind of standard in this area. They already _know_ how to use computers; they just aren't familiar with the software that you personally prefer. They know the most popular software on the market and how to use it; they can get their work done with that software alone, without any need for anything else. No, Anthony, no. I'm not talking about upper managers that know Windows and Office applications well and don't know UNIX applications. When I said there's too many that cannot operate the things that is exactly what I meant. There is no reason for them to look elsewhere for software, nor is there any

They write a few memos in Word, and a few incidental uses of perhaps PowerPoint or Excel. They are self taught. They use Office through institutional inertia. I have worked in both large and small organizations and this is true across the board. Very few people have had specialized training using MS Office, and very few people use it for more than writing memos, simple spreadsheets of their budget (adding up stuff), etc. If they were given some other program that they could write memos with, and were told to use it, they would. This happens quite a lot with Lotus Notes deployments, as a matter of fact. There are no massive costs involved in retraining the major mass of employees. There may be a couple of power users who use Office to a large percentage of its capabilities and who would need to be retrained. Or not. To a large company with, say, 2000 employees, if 20 of them are in the users of Office to a large percentage of it's capabilities category, then let 'em alone. It's far worth it to get the other 99% of the users switched over. What needs to change in these organizations is the tail wagging the dog situation. To many of these organizations have 20 power users who aren't in the IT group and yet think they should be able to set policy for the other 1,980 employees, and these people propagandize the high-level managers who are so hidebound they never touch a PC, into setting Orafice as the standard. Then 6 months later the CEO who was asleep at the switch is demanding to know why the IT budget went over by a half million for the year.

generally?
You basically want to run portaudit -a and portupgrade each Affected
Package. You could probably script this quite easily:
for i in `portaudit -a | grep Affected package: | awk '{print $3}'`
do
portupgrade $FLAGS $i
done

Firefox hanging problem
Hi, Firefox seems to be hanging for a period of time before working again.

Re: Portupgrading - portauditing
I wouldn't bother trying it like straight out if you're trying to get the Firefox update. It still lists firefox as a vulnerability for some reason. I had 1.7.5_1,2, which is the version it listed, but it wouldn't let me upgrade to 1.0.1,1. I even tried listing the vulnerability listed in portaudit.conf, but no change. I finally gave up and deleted the db at /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz and then did the upgrade. It still flags firefox as a vulnerability, even though the problem it references is supposed to be explicitly fixed in the version I have installed (window injection vulnerability). Of course, you can the method described by another poster to get that list, but I haven't been able to get portaudit to actually let me upgrade. Even the portupgrade -f flag won't work and simply building the port manually is also disabled for flagged ports. Portaudit seems more a hard lockdown than a warning system. I think either I am not understanding how to manage it yet, or it has a couple issues that have not been hammered out yet. Manpages don't have much detail about this issue. I haven't had a chance to check on the existence of a bug report yet, because I want to hunt down all the docs I can first.

Are you after a way to do this automatically or just a way to do it
generally?
You basically want to run portaudit -a and portupgrade each Affected
Package. You could probably script this quite easily:
for i in `portaudit -a | grep Affected package: | awk '{print $3}'`
do
portupgrade $FLAGS $i
done
Hope this is what you were after. :)

Constant mysterious SCSI errors
I get constant streams of messages concerning my disks on the console whenever I have a lot of disk activity on my system (2x SCSI disks, no IDE or other disks).

How to downgrade perl from 5.8.6 to 5.8.5?
I need to downgrade the perl port from 5.8.6 to 5.8.5 at least temporarily in order to install Plesk on a 5.3 system. I see the 5.8.5 files on the ftp.freebsd.org/./distfiles server but I have no idea how to go about doing a downgrade. I checked out the ported applications link on the main freebsd.org page and I couldn't even confirm that 5.8.5 was ever installed as a port.

What's wrong with getting the index from the FTP site when I run sysinstall? Seems to me that it would guarantee that the ports are always up to date. Well, I've been under the impression for a while that sysinstall is not necessarily reliable in terms of getting the most current information; not because of its design, necessarily, but because of some details about layout, building world, etc. Keep in mind that this is my take on the question, and I'm basically nobody (and will mention that fact again.) A crunched binary version of sysinstall exists in /stand. A couple (or 3?? - I knew this once) of years ago sysinstall was moved to /usr/sbin in -CURRENT and now lives there in the 5.X branch. On a 5.X machine, then, you have two sysinstalls that may or may not be the same date, (and most likely aren't) and certainly may vary in some way: [668] Sat 26.Feb.2005 14:14:01 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ll /usr/sbin/sysinstall ll /stand/sysinstall -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 411336 Feb 12 10:34 /usr/sbin/sysinstall* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2148964 Apr 23 2004 /stand/sysinstall* Now consider the following note Murray Stokely writes in /doc/en/articles/releng/ (he's discussing preparatory steps for building a RELEASE): Sysinstall should be updated to note the number of available ports and the amount of disk space required for the Ports Collection. This information is currently kept in src/release/sysinstall/dist.c. So, it's my best guess (as I said, IANAE) that /usr/sbin/sysinstall will not know about anything later than the date obtained by uname -a (last system rebuild, whatever), and /stand/sysinstall may have hoplessly out of date information (unless you are in the habit of crunching new binaries for /stand every time you upgrade the system; most people probably don't?). Now, I'm not saying I'm right, because I don't even know the exact procedure you're describing in using sysinstall for getting the index, but most of my experiences using it to try and do anything in terms of packages/ports seem to indicate that it has basically one idea of where to look, and that idea isn't the newest ports tree.

Re: Portupgrading - portauditing
I finally gave up and deleted the db at /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz and then did the upgrade.

Of course, you can the method described by another poster to get that list, but I haven't been able to get portaudit to actually let me upgrade. Even the portupgrade -f flag won't work and simply building the port manually is also disabled for flagged ports. Portaudit seems more a hard lockdown than a warning system.

The procedure in UPDATING is followed strictly. Some people don't follow it and strange things happen. FWIW, my upgrade worked as expected. I have done many installations on different machines and never had trouble with optimizations in make.conf (except when I specified the wrong CPU once :)). I just can't link problems with GCC optimization flags, to the fact that the path to uuencode is not set in a Makefile in some directory. I was just curious, thanks for the reply. You never know but when something strange pops up. If you aren't using the defaults, killing the CPU and FLAGS are a place to start. It is too easy to add the # and then delete if nothing changes. For example, my 5-stable is an athlon-xp and somewhere in time, I commented the CPU out. The default FLAGS is -O -pipe and so, I don't supply them either.

Re: Trouble Compiling 4.3.10 on FreeBSD 5.X
Kirk, well, yes, there is...first, the apache port has very few changes. most of the patches are things that the FreeBSD community wanted to change to fit defaults (.i.e different log file names, mostly cosmetic). I think there are a couple of su_exec tweaks in it, but overall, the port is not much different than the source. And php is not the latest version in the ports either. Not to mention that I use a lost of custom configuration parameters. It also doesn't look like any of the patches in the port of 4.3.9 would do anything to change my issue... Not that I don't think the ports collection is good. There are just some things that you need to do manually... Tim.

big snip
I need to add, in order that my previous post not go into the archives
as absolute fact, and that I not be considered by the general public
as more of an idiot than I might already have confirmed, that I
don't use sysinstall for much, and did just go back into that
program to the location Configure Options, where you can set
an {environment?} variable for sysinstall to look for a certain
release.
Now, if that can be set to CURRENT (or, more likely, HEAD),
then sysinstall might well grab you a current ports index ... if
it can do *that* at all.
I am sure that if your sysinstall is set to, say, 5.1-RELEASE (which
is no longer supported), it's not likely to find any packages at all.
Sorry for the FUD, if it's considered thusly.

su from root
I have encountered an unusual issue where the behavior is different between FreeBSD 4.6 and 5.3. If I login and then su to root successfully, then do a su to a non-root user I get: pam_login_access: pam_sm_acct_mgmt: user-id is not allowed to log in on /dev/ttyv0 In chasing this down it appears that the restriction is coming from login.access which does have a limitation to prevent the non-root user from logging in. Only members of the wheel group are permitted to login. That restriction is essential to this system. However, I don't understand why su is concerned about that. I need su to switch me to that user. I suspect this may be controlled by PAM but haven't been able to figure out just where that would be.

Received mail timestamp is off by 7 hours
I've been having a weird problem lately...when I download an email from my mailserver, the time is off by 7 hours. For example, if I receive an email at 9:30pm, it lists the time as 2:30pm in my mail client. I've determined that it's just a problem on received messages, because if I use my client with a different mail server, the time is fine, and if I send mail to another server, the time is fine. It's annoying to me because messages will show up somewhere in the middle of my 300+ message inbox, and users have been complaining about it. What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Re: Received mail timestamp is off by 7 hours
I forgot to give a bit of info. My local machine has the correct time of 10:05PM, and the server has the correct time of 11:05PM. If I send an email from a mail account on the server to gmail, it has the correct time. If I send an email from gmail back to the server, that's when it has the weird time offset.

Re: Installation instructions for Firefox somewhere?
On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 15:41:51 +0100, Anthony Atkielski wrote But I figured that if I always pull the index from an FTP site, it's guaranteed to be up to date. Isn't that true? It guarantees that the index will be up-to-date [0]. The index is not the port skeleton. To be honest, I don't know the depths of how make index works. I just know that make readmes or portupgrade will complain if I use a refuse file in /usr/ports/sup and tell me to make index [1]. Beforehand, I used the refuse file so I didn't have to cvsup stuff I wasn't going to install. I'm never going to install more than a small fraction of the ports, so putting the entire tree on my site seems wasteful, especially if I have to constantly update it. I suppose I'm nit-picking here, but you would cron it rather than running it by hand. I do have the tree on my production server, but only because I had a lot more disk space to play with. How much space have you got to play with? If space is tight, running make distclean after make install helps, as does periodically deleting the contents of /usr/ports/distfiles A refuse file would have helped you. Can anyone explain or point to a reference as to why this no longer works? [2] [0] if you mean, by pull the index from an ftp site cd /usr/ports make index [1] this behaviour started happening at 4.10 or thereabouts. I don't know why, and I haven't had the time to research it. [2] well, the refuse file works. But the fact that the ports tree has been altered makes 'make readmes' complain. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Constant mysterious SCSI errors
In the last episode (Feb 26), Anthony Atkielski said: I get constant streams of messages concerning my disks on the console whenever I have a lot of disk activity on my system (2x SCSI disks, no IDE or other disks). I'd very much like to know what's going on (there's nothing wrong with the hardware, so either it's a configuration problem, or it's a bug). There doesn't seem to be any data loss or corruption occurring. I've had one or two panics, though (which may or may not have caused data loss--it's hard to tell). While recompiling the kernel, the system stalled periodically (at least anything involving disk I/O stalled) and generated several hundred kilobytes of messages looking like this: Feb 26 20:09:23 contactdish kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queue Full Feb 26 20:09:23 contactdish kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): tagged openings now 64 Feb 26 20:09:23 contactdish kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Retrying Command Try lowering the max tags for that drive: camcontrol tags da0 -N 32. If that works, you can stick it in rc.local, or add an entry to the xpt_quirk_table[] in /sys/cam/cam_xpt.c . It probably needs something similar to the quantum quirk lines. In addition, I sometimes get bursts of much longer messages, looking something like this: Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: ahc0: Recovery Initiated Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: Dump Card State Begins Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: Dump Card State Ends Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: (da1:ahc0:0:2:0): SCB 0x49 - timed out Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: sg[0] - Addr 0x1309b000 : Length 2048 Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: (da1:ahc0:0:2:0): Queuing a BDR SCB Feb 25 20:09:29 contactdish kernel: ahc0: Timedout SCBs already complete.

The problem was caused by during the 4.11 development the ports people decided it was to cpu intensive to do nightly builds of the INDEX file. So they stopped doing it. Later on when the release was done what should have been done wnen making up the CD is they should have done a make index first, then copied the files to the CD.

Yes, after the cvsup and portupgrade you will have 1.0.1 There is no ports tree on the machine, so it cannot be out of date. Isn't the index downloaded from the FTP site each time I start sysinstall always up to date? Yes, but THAT index your looking at is only for the PRECOMPILED programs - the packages. These are not updated except right before a release. The ports uses a different INDEX. If not, how can I update something that isn't even on my system? For the absolute vast majority of software packages that are covered by the ports tree, the ports tree that is installed from the FreeBSD cdrom's or distribution is adequate. You can just make install right out of that tree with no problem. Firefox is different because it has not been out long and still is undergoing a lot of development by the Mozilla people. As a result the port for it changes quite a lot.
