Re: UPDATE -- Re: PHP 4.3.11 core dumps
Hello, Mike. You wrote 29 àïðåëÿ 2005 ã., 21:57:18: I recently upgraded to PHP 4.3.11 from Ports on my 4.9-RELEASE system, and I'm suddenly having troubles running PHP. Whether we're talking a web app or running from a command line, I get core dump errors. Specifically: su-2.05b# php -i Bus error (core dumped) And in /var/log/messages when accessing a PHP page, even one with just phpinfo() in it: Apr 29 12:41:31 jules /kernel: pid 28369 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 10 I've seen the bus error/core dumps there too. Any ideas what could be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I downgraded to version 4.3.10 with a downloaded tgz package, and that got me back up and running. I noticed an error talking about rc_subr and expat not being current enough, so I upgraded both of those and recompiled/reinstalled php4-4.3.11, but still no joy. Went back to 4.3.10 again and everything is working normally. I had apache core dumps after upgrading to php 4.3.11 too. What I did is uninstalling/deleting everything related to php, I mean all extentions, zend optimizer, some libraries... After that I reinstalled apache (probably not needed) and then php. After that everything is working. -- Regards, Cezar mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
New Site: sysctl.enderunix.org
Hi EnderUNIX.ORG has debuted a new site that you can add sysctl's on related OS (Currently FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux) In sysctl.enderunix.org you can add a new knob and the description of related knob. There is also a mailing list that you receive email when a new sysctl knob added. Examples are in the website ( http://sysctl.enderunix.org ) Since we can't enter all the knobs available we are requesting support from all *BSD and Linux users. We also want to thank nyi.net for sponsoring us. Especially to Dina and Phil Koblence. Best Regards. I hope this site be usefull to all Open Source users. --- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.EnderUNIX.ORG Software Development Team @ Turkey http://www.Faruk.NET For Public key: http://www.enderunix.org/ofsen/ofsen.asc First Turkish FreeBSD book is out!

backup with tar: Which dirs
I have a large usb harddisk with a 60GB freebsd slice that I want to use to backup the FreeBSD 5.4 installation on my laptop once in a while. I think that tar is the right tool for this purpuse.

Re: creating a local cvsup mirror.
Hi Derrick, I want to create a local mirror for my internal freebsd systems. I seem to be confusing articles that are 'how to mirror' and 'how to be a mirror'. Is there some details/info out there that could be of help? I would have thought it would be enough to be running ports/net/cvsup- mirror would be enough on the server, and then the clients here would use 'cvsup -h my_cvs_server ports-all' but I end up seeing: May 2 12:40:49 cvs cvsupd[57822]: =3 Unknown collection ports-all So if someone can clarify/point/whatever, much appreciated.

Re: How does one bootstrap DNS
* Jim Freeze [2005-05-02 15:31 -0500] Suppose I own two domains: abc.com and xyz.org. I want to host these domains myself and have them provide the primary and secondary name servers for each other. Is this possible? Seems kind of circular. In theory I would have ns1.abc.com to map to the IP of abc.com and ns2.abc.com to map to the IP of xyz.org. This will give me my primary and secondary name servers. I currently only have one computer on my domain, and it provides dns lookups for itself (and virtual servers)[1] So if you ask the dotorg root name servers what is the address of the name example.org, it would respond ns.example.org. So how do does that help you? Enter the world of glue records! The root servers carry a copy of the a-records for your ns-records in case your name servers are self-hosted. Your registrar should offer you the option to register nameserver or something like that. Then, you could easily enter the name of your newly registered nameserver as the nameserver of your domain. Svein Halvor [1] One could argue that I should have at least two name servers, but why should I need greater redundancy on my name servers, than I have on my other services? If my dns is down, so is my mail, and am in the mercy of the sender to keep retrying anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: QPL vs GPL for QT and derivatives
On Tue, 3 May 2005 03:16:17 +0200 Danny Pansters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: QT and derivs have either the GPL (2) or QPL license but we have and use the GPL one. First question: do they differ in distribution, eg x11-gpl versus the qpl version? I never tried but I'm sure someone did/knows/asked. No, it's what the developer chooses. If you're going to develop a closed source app like Opera you have you purchase a license. If you intend to write a GPL'd app then you abide by the GPL, and if you want to write a BSDL'd program you abide by the QPL. The source code is the same. Second question: if they are the same source wise, the QPL seems a lot more BSD-like: it basically says: can use if not commercial without disclosing source, should one want to. In essence any BSD app under QT should live happily under that, the burden is on the person who would want to use that code next _and_ it could be GPL'ed at any time if she wants to, with the original being left QPL'ed which for us basically means BSD'ed as long as not commercial (and it's not like the fees will starve you if you want them). Yes, you cannot take a BSDL'd QT app and close the source without buying a QT license. WRT licensing, if your code is going to be BSD you have no choice but use the QPL version, since the GPL one would force you to release your code under the GPL as well. Another interesting point, and something some GPL advocates fail to understand a lot of times, is that you cannot relicense code you didn't write. If a GPL zealot takes a BSD app and tries to 'save it' by releasing a derivative under the GPL, only his modifications will be under said license, the original (C) and license still remain. Third: if they are not the same source wise, does anyone have any idea if it's a huge leap and perhaps (implied) a regression, in that case it's likely out of the question for practical reasons alone. The source code is the same. Thus I'm wondering, are there technical problems or philosophical ones with using the QPL rather than GPL with qt? Perhaps it just never came up, or people don't find it important. I personally think the QPL is rather fair and generous. From a BSDL standpoint it may be preferred over GPL2 (If GPL3 gets as bad as some fear it will never be widespread adapted, we shouldn't worry about GPL3 IMHO, and neither will it be so bad). What are your opinions/added knowledge or facts or thoughts on this? I don't see any technical problems, i.e. the QPL version is not crippled in any way. On the philosophical side of things, it's up to you. If you want to release your code under the BSD license you have to abide by the QPL. The GPL2 vs GPL3 is a can of worms I'm not going to open :) Some may find it nitpicking, and perhaps it is, but I'd still like to hear some opinions on this anyhow. I could get the bare info by (quite a long) google probably but I'm also interested in hearing opinions. This is an opinionated subject anyway, I know. Considering that you've asked in a FreeBSD mailing list I'd expect the BSD license to be favored here. FWIW, there are several QT apps in the ports tree released under the BSD license. Off the top of my head, sysutils/barry, x11-themes/qinx and sysutils/thefish's QT frontend. Surely there are more out there. ISTR some parts of KDE are under the BSDL as well.

VPN through a FreeBSD firewall?
Hello all! I have a small network at home which I am upgrading speedwise, i.e. I am about to go from 8 Mbit to 24 Mbit (ADSL2) on the WAN side. I intend then to use my FreeBSD 5.3 box as a firewall/NAT/proxy server. Two questions: First, the big one: I sometimes work from home. Then I connect to the office from my XP laptop via a VPN tunnel (today I have a ZyXEL G2000 as fw/nat/router). So, if I put the FreeBSD box in place of the ZyXEL and the FreeBSD does ipfw/nat, will it still work with the VPN stuff? N.B., the FreeBSD box will not do the VPN stuff, just pass it through! I am using the Cisco client on the laptop if that matters. Like this: laptop with vpn - FreeBSD with two network interfaces - ADSL modem - NET Anyone knows what happens if I put the ZyXEL as a wireless router between the laptop and FreeBSD; would VPN work then? VPN passes through the ZyXEL today without problem but can it pass through the two boxes? Second question: someone told me that the ZyXEL cannot handle 24 Mbit, therefor I want to use the FreeBSD box instead. Can FreeBSD handle 24Mbit from the ADSL modem? I think it can, anyone against? ;-) TIA! -- Per Berger /\ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ /No HTML/RTF in e-mail http://www.stortsett.se/ X No Word docs in e-mail http://hav.just.nu/ / \Respect for open standards ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

createing users homedir on first login
Hi, I have set up some FreeBSD 5 Workstations and configured nss to get the accounts from ldap. Pam is also set up to work with ldap. Everything so far is runningnperfectly smooth. The problem is the workstations don`t have a shared filesystem. Each user should have an seperate homedir on every workstation. I tried to use pam_exec to create the homedir on the first login. But it seams there is now way of knowing who is logging. I've even tried to use pw usershow -a to get all users and create all homedirs but pw usershow -a don't report any users when started from a shellscript called by the pam_exec module.

As I've indicated on some other related postings I've made, networking is probably my weakest side and I need a little help.

Using that name, I've managed to get Samba working and a local web server, but when I come to mail, I get confused. The network is made up of a bunch of XP Home Machines, the FreeBSD 4.9 machine, and a Netgear Router/Firewall that also runs DHCP. I don't think it's relevant here, but the workgroup name I use for Samba and Windows Peer Networking is olympia. The router is called schrout, if that helps. If the router can do DNS as well as DHCP, that will help you out a lot. When I come to configuring postfix, there are entries for myhostname and mydomain. I believe myhostname should be schbsd.

Re: [Mimedefang] Installing on FreeBSD

Ok but this basically sucks. I'm sure I should be installing from ports. But
I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source
files.
When I try to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang port that I've

pkg_add: unable to fetch

So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and ran
make. That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo

At this rate it'll be forever before I get mimedefang installed and in the
meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving unacceptable
levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with installing mimedefang
from source and getting this sendmail stuff I have questions about working.
Of course, if someone wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong in trying to
install this as a package and howe to do it right, that would be OK too :-)
I'm going to CC this to the FreeBSD list in case someone on that list might

Hi,
I need to install Mimedefang on a FreeBSD 4.6 system as the Redhat
system I was running my mail server on crashed. I've upgraded perl to
5.8.6 (it was 5.001 or something like that) and installed the
necessary perl modules for mimedefang. I have a couple of questions
though about installing on FreeBSD (this is different from the way my
Red Hat system was).
I have Sendmail 8.13 on here. According to the Mimedefang instructions
I need to make sure I have a queue runner. Does anyone know if
Sendmail 8.13 will do this automatically? In the mimedefang
instructions I was reading it said to do this by adding sendmail -Ac
-qp5m to the init script for Sendmail. On my Red Hat system this was
in /etc/init.d. I can't find where I should specify this on FreeBSD.
When I installed my radius server on this FreeBSD system, I put the
init script for it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (there's no sendmail script
therre). Is this where I should put my mimedefang init script? How
will I know if this stops starts mimedefang at the right times? I
believe mimedefang should start up after Sendmail does and should be
stopped before Sendmail is.

Hi lisa,
You should use the port system to install it on freeBSD, think of it
like the rpm for redhat... :)

If you have decided to install from source tarball, you should perform
the installation outside the ports tree.

You are probably trying to run BSD make against a GNU makefile. If you

installing mimedefang from source
At this stage I'd still recommend using ports. Just read 'man ports', as
well as Section 4.5 of the Handbook, to get your confusion cleared up :-)

Re: OPEN SOURCE MASTERPLANS
Fafa Hafiz, Pardon the top post, but master plans are for totalitarian governments and bureaucracies. Their sole purpose is to assist in perpetuating established institutions. (No institution is going to plan it's own demise. Oh, and how well they serve their purpose is a subject of some debate.) Maybe what you should be asking for is examples of business plans, although those are all too often used by the powers that be to keep small businesses from growing and threatening the status quo. Informal operating policies and such might also be of interest. On 2005.5.4, at 01:05 AM, Fafa Hafiz Krantz wrote: Timo, please stop posting this! Get your weak wood out of my wheels!

mail/sendmail submit question
Hi I am trying to allow mail submission and sending on a 5.3-RELEASE box from inside a jail, but not a running MTA... I have the following in the rc.conf sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO# Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission sendmail_outbound_enable=YES # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO). sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO). Since you cannot bind to localhost only in a jail I have that set to NO. The /etc/mail/README file says to change the freebsd.submit.mc file and remake things so that it submits to another host. I have done that by doing the Change the FEATURE(msp) line to FEATURE(msp, hostname) where hostname is the fully qualified hostname of the alternative host. and then 'make install-submit-cf' in /etc/mail/. When I try to do a mail on the command line, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/chad# can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser. Where do I set this TrustedUser and how do I make the mail program work as a TrustedUser?

OPEN SOURCE MASTERPLANS
Hello Joel! Pardon the top post, but master plans are for totalitarian governments and bureaucracies. Their sole purpose is to assist in perpetuating established institutions. (No institution is going to plan it's own demise. Oh, and how well they serve their purpose is a subject of some debate.) I meant the sort of masterplans that are for people to follow. And maybe, in some cases, democratic governments in countries where there is no such thing as established institutions. 3rd world governments have by now realized that it is wiser to privatize rather than to perpetuate -- which again brings up plans for people to follow. Maybe what you should be asking for is examples of business plans, although those are all too often used by the powers that be to keep small businesses from growing and threatening the status quo. Informal operating policies and such might also be of interest. Right now any example will do.

swap space
Hi, Simple question really... Can you ever have to much swap space? We're sitting with quite a nifty P4 System with 1GB Ram. We will more than likely add another 2 or 3GB in the month to come as our applications (mainly perl) are consuming vast amounts of memory and swap. We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not know accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are going to be (especially not that it would be this high). Obviously reinstalling the entire OS / Applications is not really a option. We may want to install a dedicated 40GB just for swap... Would this be advisable, or will it actually slow the system down?

We will more than likely add another 2 or 3GB in the month to come as our applications (mainly perl) are consuming vast amounts of memory and swap. You might want to look at your application architecture as to why you are using all that virtual memory and whether you could change something so as not to be using so much at once. We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not know accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are going to be (especially not that it would be this high). Obviously reinstalling the entire OS / Applications is not really a option. We may want to install a dedicated 40GB just for swap... Would this be advisable, or will it actually slow the system down? And to what extend? Having lots of swap space shouldn't slow a system down. However, *using* it will. If your applications are hitting the swap any more than occasionally under peak load, you should assume that your system is running a good order of magnitude slower than it needs to (i.e. at least a factor of 10.) A traditional rule of thumb is to have 1x - 2x the total RAM size in swap space. This assures that you can do a crash dump and that you can deal with peak load of 2x the normal maximum number of processes by swapping them out. Beyond that, you are probably better off with the system just refusing to fork more processes or allocate them memory. Sometimes unbounded swap usage reflects the system falling off a cliff as the result of an inbound transaction request rate which exceeds the transaction service rate. If the outstanding transactions build up to the point that the system starts to swap a little bit, then the system performance drops dramatically as the system needs to page data out/in to run some processes. This causes the transaction service rate to drop sharply (e.g. by an order of magnitude as I mentioned above.) As a direct result the number of outstanding processes shoots up and the VM and swap usage goes through the roof. If this is the scenario, you should definitely add more RAM before worrying about adding more swap. The swap won't hurt, but the RAM is what will actually benefit your system. (Depending on your application, software changes may have the most benefit of all.)

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 I'm a new BSD user installing the OS for the first time. Everything is running well except the firewall.

Re: swap space
We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not know accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are going to be (especially not that it would be this high). A traditional rule of thumb is to have 1x - 2x the total RAM size in swap space. This assures that you can do a crash dump and that you can deal with peak load of 2x the normal maximum number of processes by swapping them out. Beyond that, you are probably better off with the system just refusing to fork more processes or allocate them memory. i.e. 4GB Ram, approx 8GB Swap? In that case we'll need to install a secondary HDD in any case. The current drive is already partitioned and what not, so reinstall isn't a option. Having 2 or more swap partitions should also not be a big deal? And this might be a extremely stupid question, but both are used at the same time right? Some of our other high end perl systems use allot of memory as well. We normally use stuff like SYSVSHM, SYSVMSG and SYSVSEM (Plus allot of parameters / options for it which I do not currently have with me unfortunately). Me personally, are not 100% on what the drawbacks or benefits are, but would this make a difference? In some of our production environments, we have applications terminating within seconds of reaching peak load without SYSV + magic options in the kernel. This is not because of bad code, but because of severe load (thousands of concurrent connections). The server in question right now is basically a high end anti-spam / anti-virus solution (which by nature is extremely resource intensive - look at big SA installations for example). We are already running with MAXUSERS 512 and NMBCLUSTERS=65535 as advanced features in the kernel currently. I suppose I should recompile and add SYSV (after I got the magic options again). Those two options are also so far the only options I found to tune for a high performance FBSD config... If anyone have additional resources, please feel free to share... :) I'm talking under correction, but I believe the magic options to the SYSV stuff is related to specifying the ammounts of ram to use, etc. Thanks for all the answers and suggestions!!! -- Chris. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: swap space
Actually having a separated disk for swap should increase your performance. But my opinion is that if you really need *all* the 40 GB of swap when your system's ram is 3 GB, you won't see the difference: most of the data your system needs is swapped out! You could add a partition to your new disk (let's say 2 or 3 times the amount of ram), and leave the rest unpartitioned. You could use that extra space later for nightly backups, emergencies, etc. without loosing your performance gain. Hope it helps.

Re: pkg_info output? 'homework' clarification sought...
hello, sorry: clicked wrong icon, truncated my reply/question. i think. i hope my lame-ish attempt at 'homework' doesn't screw with the list charter. i offer it in a spirit of open-source newbie encouragement. [note from previous message, orphaned by my mistake: [a] In a context address, any character other than a backslash (``\'') or newline character may be used to delimit the regular expression. ] pkg_info | sort | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' | uniq -c | grep -v '^[[:space:]]*1' 1),2),3)... in previous mis-sent message. 4) grep -v '^[[:space:]]*1' ... deletes lines where only 1 version exists, e.g.: grep -v, --invert-match # Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines. A bracket expression is a list of characters enclosed by [ and ]. It matches any single character in that list; if the first character of the list is the caret ^ then it matches any character not in the list. ... Finally, certain predefined named classes of characters are ... [:space:] The caret ^ and the dollar sign $ are metacharacters that respectively match the empty string at the beginning and end of a line. i'd assumed [bad!] that the '-v' represented 'verbose' as it does with several other commands. but the overall structure, if that's the right word, of the grep part of the tip seems a bit like a double negative, what with the '^' HOMEWORK portion: the script is not quite correct because these two packages are counted as two versions of xorg-fonts: xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2 xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2 pkg_info | sort | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' | uniq -c | grep -v '^[[:space:]]*1' so 2 hits out of 360 odd packages compromise otherwise informative results? and assuming, for the moment, that everyone here understands that the ideas expressed *here* are coming from about as far out in left field as is possible... ? as i understand things, so far: sed gets a list of sorted stuff that looks like: autoconf-6.8.2 borg-6.8.2 ... perl-6.8.2... xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2 xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2 and uniq counts instances of duplication so the list now looks like: 3 autoconf-6.8.2 1 borg-6.8.2 ... 2 perl-6.8.2 2 xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2 the tip asks sed to look in a sorted list of installed packages for instances of hyphens followed by numerals between 0-9. i'm guessing that sed either needs to incorporate a check within its own results (maybe a set of brackets with a second sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' |)?, *before* uniq gets its hands on it, or some sort of if/then condition programming wizardry to scarf up potential stragglers. of course, at this stage in my travels in unix-land, i have no idea, clear or unclear how such twickery might occur. nonetheless, the natives appear friendly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Language/codepage trouble
Hello, I've been having alot of problems with encodings/language etc. In short, there's no such problem on winXP - in control panel/Reagional and Language Options I set this options: Standards and Formats (locale): English Language for non-unicode programs: Russian and I'd like to get the same functionality on my freebsd, but I only got a ton of problems :) In short, all I want is to have a usual english freebsd (with kde in english etc) but all 8-bit texts would be trated the same way they are treated on russian freebsd. It's easy to get the second thing - set lang=ru in ~/.login_conf or some other way to set env[LANG], but it makes everything f**ked up - all kde and other apps become in russian, which I don't need! It seemed like setting default charset would solve the problem, but setting charset=CP1251 in ~/.login_conf doesn't solve this problems - it doesn't have any effect. Is there any way I can do what I want? I tried to hack default locale files in en_US.ISO8859-1 long time ago and I think I made something bad. Is there a way to remove entire directory /usr/share/locale and then reinstal it?

RE: make installworld (remotely)
Doing a remote buildworld is just too dangerous for an production box and expensive in backups because you have all the source files to deal with. The more popular method of updating a remote system is to have an local development box that has same components and do a fresh install to a empty ata hard drive and them ship new HD to remote site and swap for old one. If needed, you recover by swapping old one back in. Or another popular way is after populating new HD, build an bootable system on a cdrom then ship cdrom to remote site and swap that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lauri Anteploon / ctrl-L Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 5:30 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: make installworld (remotely) Hi.

lines:
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = no ] exit 0
Everything else in the script works okay, but this one bombs with the
following error:
line 35: [: =: unary operator expected
Can anyone help with suggestions or an alternate statement that will
work on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE?
Thanks,
Chris

IPFW uid filtering (UID)
I have OpenVPN listening on an interface on UDP 1194. It drops to openvpn:openvpn after it opens the socket. sockstat confirms this. When I add a rule to allow packets in on udp 1194 with uid openvpn, they don't match. The rule is: 1340 allow udp from any to me 1194 in recv dc0 uid openvpn When I take out uid openvpn, the packets match. When it's there, they don't. Am I doing something wrong? BTW, the same goes for the outgoing rule. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mutt working throu NFS only in read-only
You can also omit the client-side lockd and statd options if you include the `-L` option when mounting the NFS export (man mount_nfs, nfsd) - bpk On 3/8/05, Doug Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Mar 08, 2005 at 11:37:19AM +0300, Eugene M.

I don't think it's a Linux/BSD issue. This line won't work in sh if
NETWORKING is unset. Then you get (after parameter expansion)
[ = no ] exit 0
which fails the syntax check.
I suspect NETWORKING always happened to be set in the Linux
environment you were running it under, or perhaps you were using a
different shell.
Can anyone help with suggestions or an alternate statement that will
work on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE?
One time-honored idiom is:
[ X${NETWORKING} = Xno ] exit 0
or you can just make sure that NETWORKING always gets set to some
value.

php4-4.3.11 Port Question (mime_magic)
Newbie question, apologize in advance if I missed something obvious. I also apologize if this is not the best forum for questions on specific ports. I installed the port php4-4.3.11. The purpose of using this port to ugprade my working php4 install, was to be able to the horde 3.0 framework (www.horde.org). Everything looks fine, but a test.php file in my horde setup reports that mime_magic is not installed. Everything I read says that mime_magic is installed by default with recent versions of php4. I'm not sure why the port version of php4 hasn't installed it, or how to specify it as a make option (I'm not even sure if this is possible via the ports). Any help or general guideance would be very much appreciate. Thanks in advance. - John HERE IS THE REPORT FROM MY HORDE TEST.PHP FILE: Horde Version * Horde: 3.0.4 Horde Applications * Horde: 3.0.4 * Imp: H3 (4.0.3) (run Imp tests) PHP Version * View phpinfo() screen * View loaded extensions * PHP Version: 4.3.11 * PHP Major Version: 4.3 * PHP Minor Version: 11 * PHP Version Classification: release * You are running a supported version of PHP.

The FreeBSD Handbook, in Wiki form.
Is there anything being done to help keep the handbook just a little more updated? It's a great handbook, if it's content wasn't so out of date. A wiki would be a great way to acheive this. If there isn't a project like it yet, I'd like to propose we set one up. I can contribute quite a bit of time and resources towards this.

Properly umounting a USB HDD
Hey all, I've noticed that a 'umount /mnt/portable' properly umounts the drive like it should, but when I hold the drive in my hand and give it a very gentle horizontal spin with my wrist, the reading head / platter.. something, sounds loose, as if the arm wasn't properly docked. Is there any command in BSD that will allow me to properly shutdown a portable disk? System disks don't have this sound at all but I'm not sure what commands do it. Maybe it's a APIC/APM thing? That stuff is greek to me. Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
