Install the IP::Country perl modules (port: net/p5-IP-Country) and uncomment the lines in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre to enable Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::RelayCountry plugin, which causes the Bayesian filters to learn which countries relay most spam to you. Look for the discussion on 'ok_locales' in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf perldoc. Set that to 'en' and messages in character sets other than anything based on the Latin (and possibly Greek) alphabet will get a higher spam score. You can put that into /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf for a site-wide effect or into per-user ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs config files.

Every time I attend a trade show at which VMware has a booth, I always stop by to ask about any plans for supporting VM hosting on FreeBSD, and to encourage the thought. No one has ever given the slightest indication that this is even remotely likely to happen in the foreseeable future. The usual reason given is that FreeBSD's market share does not come close to justifying the VMware company resources that would be required to support it.

The convention is, indeed, that users get UIDs from 1000 up. This doesn't seem to be explicitly described anywhere I can find at the moment, but it is implemented in adduser(8) -- and the porter's handbook requires hard-coded UIDs and GIDs to be under 1000 (but strongly recommends using pw(8) unless there is an important reason not to do so). A lot of your problem, though, is that you're trying to combine the UID (and GID) space of different machines, that have collisions. The fact that some of those were created by ports isn't really important; the problem is that the UID maps were created independently and now need to be combined. Even if the ports and user spaces had been kept separate, there would have been conflicts between ports installed on different machines adding different uids on each, and unless you were planning ahead, with users being created likewise. I'm not sure there's a perfect solution, other than planning ahead. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

External touchpad?
Hi, running a Thinkpad T23 on 6.1-RELEASE. Happy but for the 'stickmouse', finding it tediously unproductive after using a nice touchpad for years.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

I followed this link - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/kernel-resources.html#SYSVIPC and used the proposed values in a test installation FreeBSD 5.5, PostgreSQL 8.x, with 96 MB RAM (a VMware guest) - I added - kern.ipc.shmall=32768 kern.ipc.shmmax=134217728 kern.ipc.semmap=256 to /etc/sysctl.conf kern.ipc.semmni=256 kern.ipc.semmns=512 kern.ipc.semmnu=256 to /boot/loader.conf And I changed max_connections = 40 to 100 in postgresql.conf. Rebooted and all works OK. Now I want to do the same on a production machine FreeBSD 5.4, PostgreSQL 8.x, with 2 GB RAM. Are there any dangers I should have in mind?

Took a good while to finish, but everything passed. I keep using my old certs, btw (the ones I paid good money for). Geez, I really hope I don't need to upgrade those.

Re: Changing Hostname = Reboot machine?
David Schulz wrote: i wasnt asking how to change the hostname, but if there are any things i should be aware of or have to do if changing the hostname. You can just change it, and it will take effect immedeately. However, there may be some server software you have running that needs to be restarted. But there is now reason to reboot you system (there seldom is on freebsd). Also (even though I see you're not asking how to change the hostname) remember to put your changes in /etc/rc.conf lest you want to have your changes discarded when rebooting.

What's wrong with your email? I got a bunch of HTML at the end? Anyway, VMWare is a special case. It's got hooks deep into the Linux network drivers that (as far as I know) are a showstopper that prevents VMWare from running under the Linuxulator.

All RS-485 devices should be connected to one line (2/3/4/5 wires possible). Maximum number of those devices depends on their chip properties. Maximun line length (as for standart) is 1200 meters at maximum speed. The line should be terminated with 120 Ohm resistor at both ends.

moxa multiport serial cards
hi, I am a long time user of freebsd but have no -NO knowledge of moxa multiport cards. I see there is great support for moxa on freebsd so I put my question forth. i have acquired Moxa Model cp-114 and am trying to figure out its usages. The CP-114 Series of multiport serial boards is designed for RS-232 and RS-422/485 industrial communication. The CP-114 Series has 2 ports for RS-232 or RS-422/485, selectable by jumper, and 2 ports for RS-422/485, with each RS-422/485 port able to control up to 32 devices in a multidrop environment. so does this mean I can wire up one of the rs-232 ports to a patch panel and then split that into 32 rj=45 connectors which would in turn be connected to various serial devices (pc/router/switchers). or do i need another box that translates these signals. I assumed the card did all the processing. thanks for any input ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: MySQL and Roundcube Problem - db won't start!
Hi, could you please try and run this: # /usr/local/libexec/mysqld -u root you probably want to add an ampersand '&' at the end of the line. and let me/us know if it works. I am sure this is not the appropriate way to do this, but maybe it will get you started. I am also curious for the response from experienced people for the above command which i think will work. All these provided that you have the mysql server installed..

You say too little about your system to allow proper help. How did you install MySQL? Fro the source? From the ports? From package? If you installed MySQL through FreeBSD mechanism, it should be started with the comand: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh start provided you have put mysql_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf Else youmust locate your MySQL log file and see why it is not starting, if it is failingbecause of some error. mysqladmin is a command to MySQL database server, so it suppose that MySQL is running beforeyou can issue any mysqladmin command.
