You can try ports/net/mldonkey. It comes in different flavours :  
with or without GUI. You can install it without GUI (mldonkey- 
core), and then use another software as graphical interface, or the  
integrated telnet/web server to control it.


MLDonkey lets you use different p2p protocols in addition to  
bittorrent. , as ed2k/kademlia, gnutella, fasttrack...


There's also overnet as well as mldonkey. However, the problem  
is that many non-standard clients are seen as bad clients by servers  
and I assume the same applies for trackers, so I would assume that if  
there isn't anything being done for the trackers yet, there may be  
something done in the future to prevent them from using the tracker  
since they don't follow the prescribed rules for connecting/downloading.

postfix as nullclient on 5.4

[dave]

Hello,
I've got a central mailserver, and four machines acting as nullclients.
Their only job is to send the central server emails of cron output. This
isn't working, logs on the clients show nothing, the message just
disappears, it's like it doesn't enter the queue. I'm assuming i have a
configuration issue. Here's my config, i'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

I've not noticed any difference with ACPI on or off. I just leave it
on so I have access to the features it provides.
Make sure hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest is set to C1.

In the area of APIC I remember finding some devices on my system not
properly detecting with out it, on my Nforce2 board. No clue about
that chipset.

I've never any speed differences though.

#fsck -f

My guess is that you have not down properly and your disc/discs need fixing

The basics are there: kde, gnome, firefox etc, but  Open-office and the 
majority of the ports are not.

For your purposes you either want 5.4, or to wait for 6.0 in a few weeks.

The downloadable disks on the FreeBSD site are 2-disk sets for both 4.x and 
5.x. I'm not quite sure what the status of 4.x, 4 disks sets are - it may 
have been a one-off experiment.

As in Gentoo the best way to maintain a FreeBSD system is through building 
from source through the ports system. That's why FreeBSD doesn't come with a 
pile of package disks, unlike debian.

It's perfectly feasable to use the ports system or remote package fetching 
with dial-up, I did it myself for a year or so.

/usr/ports/pdflib Version

[Vizion]

Hi

I note that from
http://www.pdflib.com/products/pdflib/download/index

there is a free version of:

PDFlib-6.0.2-FreeBSD5.tar.gz

Does anyone know if this a later version of /usr/ports/pdflib4 or is it an 
entirely different product?

In any case does anyone have any comments about this one and is there any 
reason not to put a copy in the ports tree?

what tweaks for stable-supfile in RELENG_6 ? (update after initial install)

[WOB]

Hi,

I'm going to try in to install FreeBSD 6.0-Beta3, and am curious how I 
should tweak the stable-supfile. Actually I did an install from CD, I 
usually immediately update from the net after a CD install, so I can get 
the latest stuff.


When I installed 5.4 I made these changes to the stable-supfile:

 nano -w stable-supfile
   host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
   *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
   ports-all tag=.
   doc-all tag=.

For 6.0-Beta3, I plan to only change to RELENG_6, like this:

 nano -w stable-supfile
   host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
   *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
   ports-all tag=.
   doc-all tag=.

I thought I had read somewhere that I am not supposed to put the 
ports-all and doc-all lines in to the stable-supfile for 6.0, but I 
cannot find where I saw it.  I think some guy got ports from RELENG_7, 
or something like that (though I later read there is only set of ports).


Is it okay to put them in like this?
   ports-all tag=.
   doc-all tag=.


Thanks!



(below are my instructions I usually try to follow)

cd /usr/src
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile .
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse .

nano -w stable-supfile
host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile

tuning(7) has a good section on disk partitioning too, that may be of
interest.  I recently read it again, and I can say that a lot of what it
contains is still valid and useful, years after the initial manpage was
imported by Matt Dillon.

I would recommend putting /usr/local as well as /usr/home on

Re: IPFW lockout.

[James Bowman Sineath, III]

Hi all,

I have a small problem on one of my dev boxes. I have a bod bootup ipfw 
rulset and I find myself locked out of the machine.


There will be a technician at the NOC on Tuesday that will be able to 
assist me.


My question is: Will he/she be able to simply reboot, logon as root as 
normal?


- and then -

disable IPFW in rc.conf ... or will the loopback rule not being present 
cause more mahem than I think it will?


-Grant


He should be able to login without any problems.

On another note, in the future whenever you make changes to your system that 
could potentially lock you out, use crontab to disable them after a short 
amount of time. For example, when I was reconfiguring sshd, I crontab'ed 
'killall sshd && sshd -f /root/sshd_config_old' and moved the default config 
file to my /root directory. Also when playing with my ipfw rules, I 
crontab'ed 'ipfw disable firewall' for every 15 minutes until I got it 
working the way I wanted too.


Be VERY careful with this though. Don't use it and then forget to remove the 
lines from your /etc/crontab. Remove them as soon as you get it configured 
the way you want too. This is obviously a serious security risk, so don't 
use it very often. If you are worried about disabling your firewall, then 
create a small ipfw script to deny all connections except from your IP 
address and crontab that instead of 'ipfw disable firewall'. Also keep in 
mind to enable your firewall again you will need to type 'ipfw enable 
firewall'.

Of course you can. Just edit /boot/device.hints on one machine so that it 
uses sio1 (com2) as console:
--- /boot/device.hints  Thu Aug 18 05:55:08 2005
+++ /tmp/device.hints   Mon Sep  5 01:55:36 2005
@@ -36,10 +36,10 @@
 hint.sio.0.port="0x3F8"
-hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
 hint.sio.0.irq="4"
 hint.sio.1.at="isa"
 hint.sio.1.port="0x2F8"
+hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
 hint.sio.1.irq="3"

The tell the btx (on both machines) to use the serial device (with flag 
0x10) for console:
echo "-h" >> /boot.config

loader will recognice the serial console and use that, if not also set in 
loader.conf:
console="comconsole"

Now you can go into single user mode on one machine and cu/tip from the 
other one. (regarding speed see BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= in make.conf, in

what tweaks for stable-supfile in RELENG_6 ? (update after initial install)

[WOB]

Hi,

I'm going to try in to install FreeBSD 6.0-Beta3, and am curious how I 
should tweak the stable-supfile. Actually I did an install from CD, I 
usually immediately update from the net after a CD install, so I can get 
the latest stuff.


When I installed 5.4 I made these changes to the stable-supfile:

  nano -w stable-supfile
host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

For 6.0-Beta3, I plan to only change to RELENG_6, like this:

  nano -w stable-supfile
host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

I thought I had read somewhere that I am not supposed to put the 
ports-all and doc-all lines in to the stable-supfile for 6.0, but I 
cannot find where I saw it.  I think some guy got ports from RELENG_7, 
or something like that (though I later read there is only set of ports).


Is it okay to put them in like this? 


ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.


Thanks!



(below are my instructions I usually try to follow)

cd /usr/src
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile .
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse .

nano -w stable-supfile
 host = cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
 *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
 ports-all tag=.
 doc-all tag=.

cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile

If you run conserver ( ports/comms/conserver-com ) on all the machines,
you can even set it up so you don't have to remember which machine is
controlling which machine's console (it will chain to the correct
machine).  A multiport serial card in one master console box does let
you consolidate the logs on one machine though.

Optimizing FreeBSD

[jesse]

Hi all,

Is there any performance gain when using Standard-PC HAL over ACPI-PC 
HAL? I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE on a abit KR7A(KT266A) motherboard. 
I currently have APIC disabled in the bios, ACPI disabled at boot and I 
feel like my system is snappier. Just wondering if there is any truth to 
this.


over and out,

Re: How should I partition 2 80 gig drives?

I've been happy giving my two 80 GB disks 4 equal-sized primary
partitions so it's easy to back one up, esp. before doing an upgrade,
etc.  Or use one or more for extra storage, etc.  Maximizes
flexibility and I seldom fill one anyway.

I only regret that I let the first pri.part. be oddly sized because it
can't have the first track.  I told myself I'd use those for Linux or
data.  I've always tried to partition on cylinder boundaries, but the
partitioner didn't obey for the first pri.part.  I plan to try
partitioning my next disk on track boundaries, with all four the same
size.

As for FreeBSD divisions, I have something like:

subpart  CylsApprox MBUse
a16  125  /
b70  549  swap
e70  549  /var
f11388926 /usr
g11388926 /home

/:
I'm using 71 MB on / with by far the biggest user being three
versions of /boot/kernel/, so 125 seems about right.

swap: Swap should be big enough to hold all the programs you plan to
run at the same time, minus your RAM size.  Except, if you plan to
make OS "crash dumps", swap should be at least as big as your RAM and
another MB might be safer.  500 MB - RAM seems a good minimum these
days, except the installer probably requires >0.  (I seldom use any
swap with 512 MB RAM, but xosview can show a broken program filling it
up, so it's good to have more than the minimum.)

/usr, /home:
Use your own judgement on the size ratio. I'm using 3 GB in /usr
and I've got a lot of stuff not needed for ports and system
re-building.

/tmp:
Maybe have the following in /etc/fstab so /tmp files are kept in RAM.
(Use /var/tmp for files you don't want to go away when OS halts.)
md  /tmpmfs rw,-s128m   0   0


With a similar setup, I've tried mounting "/" read-only and observed
no problems.

Then I suggest you don't try to update your ports, if azureus is important to 
you.

Azureus now depends on Java 1.5 (or higher), although the problem is due to 
Azureus depending on some files that it assumes to be installed by eclipse,

frequency is out of range

[dick hoogendijk]

Lately I experienced a couple of times a *freeze* of my X session. The
computer does not respond on anything anymore. The OS has not died. I
can login (SSH) and force a shutdown -r now, but this is annoying.

What happens is that somehow my X (xorg-server-6.8.2_4) sneds a
frequency to my monitor which is out of range (monitor states: 105K /
234 Hz).

I wonder what can be the reason of thsi wrong freq. I have used DCC in
xorg.conf and also commented it out. It has happened in both occasions.
I also am pretty sure it ONLY happened when I was surfing the net with
mozilla (not sure of the relevance here).

I like to get rid of this issue asap. Or at leat want some info how to
deal with it. so, who can help me?

If you haven't already done so, you might want bring your ports tree up to

The defaults are usually fine for "general purpose".  If you're not

extra space.

Lame.  Care to actually _back up_ your statement with something substantial?

cvsup and ports is the best package management system I've seen yet in 
it generally 'just works right.'  That statement is made with 12 years 
of Linux experience, as well as Solaris and other *nixes.


For a server system, FreeBSD is really hard to beat.  The closest might 
be Gentoo, but their portage (based on BSD ports) system isn't as 
consistently stable as BSD ports (meaning things break more often).


As it's not a _great_ idea IMO to even have build tools (gcc and 
toolchain) on a production server, it's not a bad idea to have a 
seperate build host somewhere, but that applies equally to any system, 
and you also have the option to go with binary packages.


Let me know how the following goes for you with Deb or other Linux 
distro besides gentoo- install PHP or apache with _only_ the options 
that you want/need.  Oh rightyou can't, without compiling from 
source, at which point you've lost your 'package management.'  Oops?


Read the Handbook, try to get enough of a clue to understand it, use it 
for a month, and then come back with a statement you can back up. 
Otherwisepiss off.


The only 'real' gripes I've got with FreeBSD are:
a.  thread performance - from what I've seen, still lags behind Linux 
(mysql benchmarks show this to be true at leat for 5-STABLE).


b.  desktop BSD 'out of box experience'- mixed, as BSD is primarily a 
server OS, but with 'roll your own' capabilities...oh, and there are now 
two 'desktop BSD' type projects.  So not really a gripe, but can see 
someone complaining about it a bit, if they don't find the Dekstop BSD 
project.


c.  security patch notification system (may exist now?).  Yes, you can 
get emails from the security ML, but now quite the same as for example, 
'smpatch analyze' on Solaris 9/10.  This could be argued that's 
_exactly_ what rel-STABLE is, however, so again, not a real issue, 
although a user friendly (for people using as a desktop OS) tool would 
be of benefit.


Geeze, compared to my gripes against Linux and *nix distros. these are 
really pretty damned trivial.  If thread performance comes up to par 
with Linux, FreeBSD has a very good chance of becoming my choice for 
'personal *nix' (ie, my primary workstation, laptops, etc) over Gentoo.

expat with php configuration

[Vizion]

Hi
Practical ignorance is driving the following question:

I trying to configure php5 with expat (using latest port expat2 (version 
expat-1.95.8_3)) and have no experience with expat. I am a comparative 
newcomer to php.

I have compiled and installed expat2 and about to configuring php.

An example configure command option for php with expat (taken from pro Apache 
by Peter Wainwright) is:

--with-expat-dir=/usr/local/expat \

I cannot find any reference to the function of this expat-dir.  
Is  is this option there to create a working directory? 
If it is meant to be a working directory what security issues are involved?

or 

Is it intended to point to the expat libraries?
If so would appropriate dir be /usr/local/lib/ where libexpat.a and 
libexpat.so.5 are located?

I am also confused because there seems, in the port a need for some clarity 
about the role of the files when on considers the following man page entry:
-
NAME
 libbsdxml -- eXpat XML parser library

SYNOPSIS
 #include 

DESCRIPTION
 The libbsdxml library is a verbatim copy of the eXpat XML library version
 1.95.5.

 To avoid version and autoconfiguration issues, the library has been
 renamed to libbsdxml rather than retain the original eXpat library and
 include file names to prevent confusion and autoconfiguration issues for
 3rd party software.
-
It was only after installing expat that I found the only man pages is the 
brief reference page under libbsdxml. 

It seems that in addition to the expat libs  I mentioned there are also the 
libbsdxml libraries:
dns1# locate libbsdxml
/lib/libbsdxml.so.1
/usr/lib/libbsdxml.a
/usr/lib/libbsdxml.so
/usr/lib/libbsdxml_p.a
/usr/share/man/cat3/libbsdxml.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libbsdxml.3.gz
/usr/src/lib/libexpat/libbsdxml.3
/usr/src/lib/libexpat/libbsdxml.3,v

Can anyone please clarify things for me
thanks
David

What about rigging up wireless web-cams that send info to a web page on

I know most of them already have a built-in "notify" feature that will 
email you a warning and usually take a few minutes of video footage if 
motion is detected.


Unfortunately they cost something like $200, but it saves on having to 
rig up some other way of doing auto-notify and email as well as getting 
a reliable wiring setup.  You could set up the FBSD box to act as a 
data repository so it collects information from the cameras and then 
you go to the FBSD box for information (or have it collect and send 
info to you) in case your Internet connection to the house goes down.  
Having the cameras independent also means less chance of 
failure...i.e., if the FBSD box goes down you may still be able to set 
it up so the cameras can still work in your absence until the machine 
can be rebuilt/repaired.

Pulsar ADSL Drivers for FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.4

I have found this site:

There is a driver for OpenBSD, but the file names are slightly different to
FreeBSD.  Reading through the mailing list archives, there were some people
working on a FreeBSD 5.4 driver patch.  
 
Does anyone know what the status is on this?  Has anyone got the OpenBSD
drivers going on FreeBSD 4.x or 5.4?
 
I would be interested in giving this a go.

Query on building world

[Stuart Chalmers]

Hi,

I have FreeBSD 5.4 installed on both my main PC and an
old PC.  I'm looking to do a 'buildworld' on the old
PC, but I expect that this will take a very long time
as it is only a Pentium 166 (rememeber them?!).

I'm intending on using the main PC to do this
buildworld after transferring the old disk into the
new pc.  As I have the sources on the main PC's disk,
I would like to use these rather than copy them to the
old disk and boot the new PC from the old disk, which
will be a bit of a headache as the machines are very
different (but both i386 architecture).

I was wondering if there was something that one could
pass to the make buildworld command to set up a
different target to build the world to?  If I had
mounted the old disk under /mnt, maybe something like
'make -j4 target=/mnt/ buildworld'???

Any pointers much appreciated ...

Thanks.

Amusing but that isn't actually my purpose! 
Actually I was speaking of using some anti-burglar device for our  little 
family house house at the seaside resort placing in the garden cameras 
"sensitive" to people moving in it when my family and I are absent, that is 
10.5 months per year.
Asking around for (anti-burglar)  alarm systems they asked me a mere fortune. 
Having a spare old pentium and a much older  would like to use it for the same 
purpose but a very cheap price.
That's all!
Any idea?

Many thanks for all the helpful replies, I feel I have something to work 
with now. Queuing sounds like it might do the trick, I'll give it a try.

ugen is not ucom! ugen is used if nothing apropriate was found, your kernel 
needs ucom and uplcom, you can also load uplcom as module!.

At this moment I've a strange error.
inetd is not started after a reboot, but after entering inetd on the 
commandline, the deamon is started

Can anyone give me a clude to look for?

OpenPGP Public Email Keyservers
---

There are OpenPGP public email key servers which allow one to exchange 
public keys running using the Internet and UUCP mail systems.  Those 
capable of accessing the WWW might prefer to use the WWW interface 
available via http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/www-key.html and managers of 
sites which may want to make frequent lookups may care to copy the 
full keyring from the FTP server at ftp://ftp.pgp.net/pub/pgp/keys/


This service exists only to help transfer keys between PGP users. 
It does NOT attempt to guarantee that a key is a valid key; 
use the signatures on a key for that kind of security.


Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.
The commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.
--  -
Note that they should NOT be included in the body of the message.
- === ---

   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Subject: help

Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your 
key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.


For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key 
if it is already there, send a message similar to the following to any 
server:


   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Subject: add

   -BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-
   Version: 2.6

   
   -END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-

COMPROMISED KEYS:  Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP 
docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again, 
with the ADD command.


Valid commands are:
