Bug with tcsh? : if evaluating true instead of false
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Ok, so I tried to make a simple script to add users so I wouldn't have
to type in groups/pw over and over again... the problem is that it's not
behaving like it should =o.
Script:
#!/bin/tcsh -x
#
if ( ( $# != 0 ) ) {
set GROUPS="";
set USER="";
if( ( $# == 2 ) ) {
set USER=$1;
set GROUPS=$0;
switch($0)
case "-v":
set GROUPS="-G vip";
breaksw
case "-w":
set GROUPS="-G vip,wheel";
breaksw
default:
echo "bad argument(s) specified!";
exit(1);
endsw
} else if($# == 1) {
set USER=$0;
} else {
echo "bad # of args; exiting..";
}
`pw add user -N -d /home/$USER -s /usr/local/bin/bash $GROUPS
$USER && mkdir /home/$USER && ln -s /home/dud.bash_login
/home/$USER/.bash_login`;
} else {
print "Usage [-r|-v|-w] username"
}
Output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ./mkuser
if ( ( 0 != 0 ) ) {
set GROUPS=
set USER=
if ( ( 0 == 2 ) ) {
set USER=
set GROUPS=./mkuser
switch ( ./mkuser )
echo bad argument(s) specified!
bad argument(s) specified!
exit ( 1 )
Basically it should drop out at the first if statement due to 0 != 0
being true and go straight to the else block, but it's falling through
to the switch statement. Any ideas?
Also..

Re: Problems booting on a Compaq DL360 (P21 version)
Then you have a hardare revision difference on the controller or motherboard. I think the raid cards are in slots on that server, try exchanging them. If the problem follows the card you can probably pick up a replacement card from Ebay. Otherwise, install Windows on the server and sell it on Ebay as a running server, you will probably get back almost what you put into it. You could probably buy a dozen of these servers off the used market and a couple of them are going to have this problem. We noticed similar issues with the first generation DL360, the difference was although FreeBSD booted on all of them, Solaris only ran on a few of them. I never bothered to dig down and find out what the bad motherboard revisions were since I needed both Solaris and FreeBSD servers and I just swapped server hardware around. Like FreeBSD, Solaris is also not a supported OS on that hardware so we were in the same boat, supportwise. This is why you buy servers brand new, if you get these problems you can return the server. When you get them used, your playing craps.

Re: Copying binaries to new server
Ugh...my ssh session to the new (remote) server was killed, presumably when restore overwrote something sshd needed. I was able to telnet back in, restart sshd and get back in, but since I was doing the restore interactively, and not in the background, was the restore interrupted? I highly recommend screen (misc/screen) for this sort of thing. Then you can lose your connection without killing foreground processes, and even detach and reattach the terminal later ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Reading /dev/klog / log(9)
/dev/klog seems to be special in that, even in O_NONBLOCk, it:
*) Never blocks, but does(?)
*) Always returns read(2) = 0
*) Never returns EOF
I'm trying to read out the contents silently via a shell script prior to
starting syslog-ng. I.e., "drain it".
One would think any I/O manipulation utility (dd/pax/cpio/cat, etc.) would
work. The problem is that dd(1) w/ count=1 && bs=1 will always hang after
reading the last byte is read.
If I had some way of couting the bytes that could be read using stat(1) or
fstat(1), I could pass the correct count=$val
I've been staring at syslogd.c on FreeBSD for a while, but I'm still at a
lost as to the logic of how it even gets into klog_read(); I don't see
any select(2) or stat(2) logic.
Anyway, this perl script sort of explains where I'm trying to go:
$BUFSIZ=1;
sysopen(KLOG, "/dev/klog", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK);
$oldbuffer="init";
while (1) {
undef($rv);
$rv = sysread(KLOG, $buffer, $BUFSIZ);
if (!defined($rv) && $! == EAGAIN) {
# would block
print "$rv\n";
print "Would block";
exit;
} else {
#successfully read $rv bytes from HANDLE
print "No Block";
print "$rv\n";
print "Buffer: \"" . $buffer . "\"\n";
chomp($buffer);
print "Buffer Chomped: \"" . $buffer . "\"\n";
print "Old Buffer: \"" . $oldbuffer . "\"\n";
print "Old Buffer Unchomped: \"" . $oldbufferunchomped . "\"\n";
#if ( ($buffer eq "") && ($oldbuffer eq "")) {
if ($buffer eq "") {
print "match, exit!\n";
}
$oldbuffer = $buffer
}
}
sysclose (KLOG);

My personal opionion is that if you are using key-based authentication you are for all practical purposes invulnerable to brute-forcing. The only way someone is going to get in is via an exploit in ssh or by stealing the key and passphrase from a valid user. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

why not use packages? from the already installed ones .
I was agreeing with the dump/restore option, but doing it on top of a running
system is possibly not the best idea...specially if you are going to be
overwriting /etc and /usr/local/etc/...
If you *didnt* have a running system on your new box, then definitely,
dump/restore is great. Alternatively, you can get clever with dumping/restoring
to alternative partitions and then adapt /etc/fstab in the new box to use the
new files...
the issue with libarchive + tar is, maybe, that is heavily used by tar itself?
good luck

It is asking for the next "tape". You apparently left off the 's'
flag which you want to use when you write to a file. Otherwise it
assumes you are writing to a tape type of media and it tries to
guess how big the tape is based on other values you might give it - but
if you don't tell it anything, it uses very old very small values
for media size.
So, anyway, you need the 'a' flag for dumps to a file.

Ugh...my ssh session to the new (remote) server was killed, presumably when restore overwrote something sshd needed. I was able to telnet back in, restart sshd and get back in, but since I was doing the restore interactively, and not in the background, was the restore interrupted?

Slow boot from btx load to kernel.
Second try... I have a triple boot setup ( WinXP, FreeBSD, and Ubuntu Linux) on which I upgraded the Ubuntu from 6.06 to 6.10. Now, when I boot the FreeBSD slice, it will take tens of seconds to load /boot/loader and the sound modules I use. It used to go by so fast I couldn't even see what exactly was happening. I tried using "fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0" and "boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0", thinking that moving back to the FreeBSD booter might do it, but to no avail. Can anyone tell me what I might have hosed, and how I might regain the previous booting speed?

What volume? The one I'm dumping? If so, why does it keep asking whether
it's mounted? What are all these different volume numbers? I just want to
dump /usr to one file, compressing and preserving permissions and symlinks as
much as possible, so I can restore it to a new server.
i have never seen the volume messages when i backup.
this is how i do it:
Take a dump
dump -0uanLf - /var | bzip2 | dd of=/some/path/dump-var-level0.bz2
dump -0uanLf - / | bzip2 | dd of=/some/path/dump-root-level0.bz2
dump -0uanLf - /usr | bzip2 | dd of=/some/path/dump-usr-level0.bz2
Restore a dump
To Restore Interactively
* First bunzip, make sure you have disk space.
* restore -i -f filename.dump0
* or bzcat filename.dump0.bz2 | restore -i -f - without bunziping
first. By the way bzcat filename.dump0.bz2 | ssh computer.bei$
* Navigage using cd, ls, etc. Use the verbose command to make
things more verbose.
* use add to add to list of stuff to extract. Will extract in CWD.
* use delete to remove from list of stuff to extract.
* When ready use the extract command to restore.
Should look something like the following:
restore > extract
Extract requested files
You have not read any tapes yet.
If you are extracting just a few files, start with the last volume
and work towards the first; restore can quickly skip tapes that
have no further files to extract. Otherwise, begin with volume 1.
Specify next volume #: 1
Mount tape volume 1
Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes
otherwise enter tape name (default: filename.dump0)
extract file ./foobar/public_html/somefile.html
Add links
Set directory mode, owner, and times.
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] n
restore > quit
To Restore Entire Disk
* Plug in fresh drive
* /stand/sysinstall
* fdisk, add bootloader, disklabel
* Mount new drive somewhere, i.e. /mnt-root
* Mount backups
* cd /mnt-root; bzcat /backups/server/dump-root-level0.bz2 |
restore -f -

Some old fashioned assistance requested, and some oppinions wanted.
Ok, to start this off, and so you know where I'm coming from - I do a lot with comptuers and I'm visually impared. This makes notebooks a royal pain in the posterior - to the point where I NEED a few features in KDE/Gnome,a nd cannot use Windows. However, add to that a lot of manufacturers don't support their customers very well, not even if it is plain and simple hardware, and you suddenly have a *very* restrictive list. I I've had bad experiences with many companies, and good experiences with really only two. One of which, while BSD/Linux friendly, is out of the picture for reasons of exceptionally immoral and frivolous lawsuites (in my oppinion), the other, while their support is surperb, does not provide drivers for anything but windows, and does weird stuff to their hardware. The latter company is Toshiba. I'm putting this here on the questions and not the mobile forum because I believe that they also make non-mobile machines, and this is a slightly more wide ranging question that normally is found there. My question: 1) If Toshiba were to provide open source drivers for it's "weirdities", would you purchase their machines? 2) If "yes" to #1, would you join me in a snail-mail writing campaign to them to request they provide drivers for BSD and/or Linux - preferrably open source for one, or closed source for both, if it must remain closed for whatever reasons. 3) Off the topic of the main post, what are your top 3 vendors if your main consideration is the combination of (1) FreeBSD compatable hardware, and (2) Reliable/Honest/Intelligent and Customer Friendly tech support for hardware issues.

Escaping From
Hi: I am running a new install of FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 and went through the entire buildworld process. So I know this system is up to date as of a few days ago. This is a fairly new install replacing Linux. My MTA is Sendmail and I configured it with procmail as the delivery agent. Here is what I wish to do: I want to escape all ^From lines in the body of all inbound messages, with a ">" making them read >From. I wish to do this by editing the proper M4/MC file. I have read the faqs, and the install manual. I even have Oreilly's 1000+ page Sendmail book! I can not find a reference anywhere to what I want to do. Either I am not recognizing it or it's not there? Should I be looking at procmail piping to sed 's/^From/>From' ?? I shouldn't have to do that. I can swear I did this with sendmail on a Linux box some years ago. Can someone point me to right place, or give me a hint?

linux programs accessing non-linux programs
Hi all, I have been having trouble figuring out how to make linux programs (installed and running under /compat/linux) access other FreeBSD binaries that are *not* located under /compat/linux. For instance, I am running linux-thunderbird and when I want to open a *.doc file attachment, thunderbird asks me which application I would like to use: I would like to point it to /usr/X11R6/bin/abiword , but unfortunately when I chdir to /usr/X11R6/bin in the dialog box, it goes actually to /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin (and abiword is *not* there).

FreeBSD uses X-Windows to create graphics screens and windows. The current X-windows system used in FreeBSD is called X.org. You may have installed this during the regular installation if you selected that option, so it might already be there and just needs starting. If not you will have to install it. The FreeBSD Handbook covers this quite extensively. Go to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html As for which window manager you use, it is really a matter of taste and what you want to accomplish. I use AfterStep because it gives me good working screens and handles all the utilities I need to run without a lot of extra garbage or bloat. Some people prefer KDE or Gnome or others. You might, over time, want to experiment with each of the main ones to get your own ideas. Then you will need to learn something about running under UNIX. It is quite different than a Microsloth system or a MAC. You have your hands right on the system in FreeBSD and it makes very few assumptions for you. You need to decide what you want to do and then install and run the things you want.There are many books on using UNIX. But, start with the FreeBSD Handbook that is online. On useful section might be: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html and another: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/common-tasks.html There is no magic about learning FreeBSD. You just have to read a lot and try out everything. You should give yourself time to experiment with it as that will be the best way to learn. Once you get the hang of it, you will begin to discover the magic that is inside of FreeBSD. jerry > i am a new user to bsd > i will be very thankful to u if u help me plz... > contact me as soon as possible plz... > [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > - > Find out what India is talking about on - Yahoo!

What about dmesg? Does it report the device nvidia0 or anything else with nvidia chips? And are you running nvidia-settings? The port nvidia-xconfig solved some problems for me by modifying my xorg.conf.

Re: ACL: Default and other problems
Looks like noone is really using ACLs (and default ACLs) on fbsd. classic unix uid/gid is simplest and enough for MOST (or every - i think) cases. it just needs to be used right Please imagine this. We're running a web server and want each user to be able to modify/delete files created (owned) by Apache user if the file is in that particular users home directory. Maybe this is possible with just uid/gid if every new file created within this directory has the users group and the permissions 664 or even 775, how would this be done (forcing new files group identity and permissions).
