SSH2 question?
Hello I have two questions, please comment... 1. Can one user have more than one public_keys i.e. multiple public_keys? If yes to above, would all be stored at users path like /home/username/.ssh If yes, to above, would all public keys be written at the same line for option in ssh_config file "AuthorizedKeysFile"?

haldaemon User Not Created
I just did a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2 booting directly from CD 1 and when asked to see the packages collection on disc, I said yes and proceeded to install gnome2. After rebooting into the new install, I edited my rc.conf to turn on dbus, hald, polkitd, and avahi-daemon. After rebooting again I received an error message that the haldaemon user did not exist. I checked the install script for hald, and it does indeed include a command to create this user, but apparently it doesn't work when installing off the CD before rebooting into the new install. It is considered incorrect to install gnome2 in this manner? Or is this a bug? I worked around this by force deleting and reinstalling the hald package. This successfully created the user. A second question: the FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#full-gnome says to add gnome_enable="YES" to take care of dbus, hald, etc in one configuration line. This doesn't seem to work. It seems like you need a separate enable for dbus, hald, polkitd, and avahi-daemon. What am I missing?

Problems with custom kernel fbsd 6.2
Hi, Thanks for trying to help, but that didn't seem to be it. It did the same thing, with the same error. Can you think of anything else that may be wrong? I'm considering rebuilding it again with debugging on, and using script to output it to a log. It has to be something in my config though, simply because the only thing different between my generic and custom compiles is the config file. I don't know how to make it not compile certain things with make, which makes my compile take awhile on it because of its specs. I've read something on how to do that, I just don't 'know' how to do it yet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The options in pkgtools.conf only apply to ports that portupgrade builds directly. During an initial installation most of the ports get built as missing dependencies, so miss the options set in pkgtools.conf. A better way is to set the options in make.conf either directly or by using sysutils/portconf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How to catch a memory leak?
Dear Mailing List,
The application vlc (found in ports) when run on FBSD 5.x and 6.x
behaves as if there's a memory leak somewhere hidden in it. This is
appearing when starting vlc from shell playing a playlist and streaming
video over udp to LAN like so:
vlc --loop playlist.m3u --sout
'#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=192}:std{access=udp,mux=,dst=239.255.255.255}'
The memory of the machine slowly gets eaten until the application ends
with the message 'Killed' when the memory has run out.
I have adressed this on the vlc forum and I have begun glancing on the
massive source code of this very complex application.
Kris Kennaway has pointed out that it is most likely an issue with threads.
My question is how do I track down a possible memory leak and would
there be a tool to monitor (from outside the application) what process
that allocates memory and how much?
Running it through gdb breaks it and attaching gdp to it while running
breaks it.
Grateful for any pointers to get me in the right direction. Thanks In
Advance.

"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?

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.

You _should_ be able to raise the vm.pmap.shpgperproc sysctl to prevent the problem -- but there doesn't seem to be any such sysctl. I'm not sure what's going on here, but it seems to me that a PR is in order. Failing that, you could set the following in your kernel config: options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=250 and rebuild/reinstall your kernel. If you're not familiar with kernel building, the docs are here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html The default value is 200, so I expect 250 will be enough of a bump to fix the problem. If it's not, raise it a little higher and try again. I don't know of any way to tell exactly what this value should be other than trial and error. I've seen warnings that raising this value too high can result in an unbootable kernel, so take care to understand how to recover from the installation of an unbootable kernel. The research I've done seems to indicate that pv exhaustion is very rare, which is why you're having trouble finding reference to it in Google searches. That's the first reference I've seen to a sysctl -- usually the recommendation is to rebuild the kernel.

"Consent" in the legal sense has two usually omitted qualifiers: "fully informed" and "freely given". Duress negates the second; failure to provide adequate information can negate the first. That being said, it may wall be the case the working definition of "adequate" has expanded over time. How it changed, and why, is no doubt the subject of ongoing enquiry.

Re: Multi Boot Installtion FreeBSd+Fedora+Debian
Hello, I am sorry, actually it was working but taking too much time, and at that time I was unable to go to any tty, to avoid mishap I used knoppix qtparted and formated that partition (incomplete installation of BSD) back to fat32 file system. Now started my beastie installation , in fdisk utility I used "T" option giving it 165 and partitioned, I have one confusion according to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html says Table 2-2. Partition Layout for First Disk Partition Filesystem Size Description a / 100 MB This is the root filesystem. Every other filesystem will be mounted somewhere under this one. 100 MB is a reasonable size for this filesystem. You will not be storing too much data on it, as a regular FreeBSD install will put about 40 MB of data here. The remaining space is for temporary data, and also leaves expansion space if future versions of FreeBSD need more space in /. b N/A 2-3 x RAM The system's swap space is kept on this partition. Choosing the right amount of swap space can be a bit of an art. A good rule of thumb is that your swap space should be two or three times as much as the available physical memory (RAM). You should also have at least 64 MB of swap, so if you have less than 32 MB of RAM in your computer then set the swap amount to 64 MB. If you have more than one disk then you can put swap space on each disk. FreeBSD will then use each disk for swap, which effectively speeds up the act of swapping. In this case, calculate the total amount of swap you need (e.g., 128 MB), and then divide this by the number of disks you have (e.g., two disks) to give the amount of swap you should put on each disk, in this example, 64 MB of swap per disk. e /var 50 MB The /var directory contains files that are constantly varying; log files, and other administrative files. Many of these files are read-from or written-to extensively during FreeBSD's day-to-day running. Putting these files on another filesystem allows FreeBSD to optimize the access of these files without affecting other files in other directories that do not have the same access pattern. f /usr Rest of disk All your other files will typically be stored in /usr and its subdirectories. when I followed 100 MB for my root "/" it said 118MB is minimum requirement. So I gave 120MB for / 1024MB 2x Physical Ram 300MB /var 200MB /tmp and rest is for /usr. ^target is to use X over Freebsd. Problem I facing now is: 1:My debian is showing error dropping me to fsck, running e2fsck on hdc gives can not read superblock, ^I did some mistake with partitions.

RE: Hide ports make options/config
Ok so then in my
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
MAKE_ARGS
I put for individual ports.
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/php4' => '-DBATCH WITHOUT_CGI=1 WITH_APACHE=1 WITH_MAILHEAD=1
WITHOUT_FASTCGI=1 WITHOUT_PATHINFO=1 WITH_OPENSSL=1 WITH_ZLIB=1',
}
Or to affect all ports
MAKE_ARGS = {
'*' => '-DBATCH',
'lang/php4' => 'WITHOUT_CGI=1 WITH_APACHE=1 WITH_MAILHEAD=1
WITHOUT_FASTCGI=1 WITHOUT_PATHINFO=1 WITH_OPENSSL=1 WITH_ZLIB=1',
}
Will the second method work to hide the options on all ports?
Thanks very much. It should work but I'm rebuilding my world right now so I
can't test it.

For example:
make install -DBATCH [OTHER SWITCHES]
Hope this helps.
Windows 2003 probably has the driver for your NIC, but can't find because
your card is one revision higher, let's say Gigabit 123b, and windows only
has a driver for Gigabit123a or something like that.
Quite often (~90% of the time) this is the case on Windows 2000 and XP
when it can't find a driver.
One (or a few) revisions higher or lower doesn't matter for the driver.
although I don't have any experience with Windows 2003, I think I can
safely assume this is the case for windows 2003 to.
You will have to select the driver manually.

Nope. :-) The only thing I changed was /usr/home/christian from mode 770 to mode 750. Then it worked. I'm guessing it was the write-bit for the group which lead the sshd not to trust the key.

Dunno about your neck of the woods, but last time I checked around here Verizon was charging something like $5 or $10 a month more for just the DSL line to connect to a third-party ISP than for the whole package using their own ISP. Makes it difficult for independents to compete, at least on price :( ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
