multimedia/ffmpeg was recently updated, and portupgrade
is not always great about ordering dependencies well: per-
haps upgrade ffmpeg and then transcode?


NB: I do not have transcode installed and honestly don't
know what good it would do.

PS:  If that didn't work, I would try:
# portupgrade -rRf transcode
and if that didn't work I would throw something and work with
# portupgrade -Rrf
somewhere else in transcode's depandency tree and hope
that it got sucked in correctly (it usually does).

I suppose we still haven't actually answered the original
question, as to why it would abort with:
"Unable to find device node for /dev/ad4s2b in /dev!"

The only thing I can think of is that sysinstall was
expecting a swap partition and wasn't given one,
although that sysinstall should be so brittle does not
agree with my general experience.

If the space to be installed in is greater than 6G
(or so) the defaults should work without a problem,
so assuming the defaults were used it should see
a /dev/ad4s2b as swap.  Of course we haven't asked
which version of FreeBSD or if there might be some
sort of buggish controller.

If there are PATA channels on the motherboard (which there are on most 
motherboards, I believe) they're most likely the primary and secondary 
ATA channels, making the SATA channels the third and above. If you have 
the ATA_STATIC_ID option in the kernel, the SATA drives will then show 
up ad ad4 and above, whether or not there are any PATA drives connected. 
With the ATA_STATIC_ID option the primary master is ad0, primary slave 
is ad1 and so on, whether or not there are any drives connected. If you 
remove the ATA_STATIC_ID option, the ATA drives (PATA and SATA) will be 
assigned the lowest number not in use, so with no PATA drives connected, 
the first SATA drive will be ad0, the second one will be ad1 and so on.


This is my experience, but I'm not a developer, so there may be some 
twists that I've missed, and if so, I'm sure someone will correct me. :)

It may have to do with how the SATA controller is setup in the bios. In
some cases there is something like an "emulation" mode where the SATA
controller actually replaces the PATA one rather than augmenting it. In
these case you may get an ad0 for the first SATA drive. If you are
running SATA in native mode, the first drive is ad4. I have two machines
with single SATA drives and they both show ad4 disk names.

Make install will always compile from source. You could however use:

setenv PACKAGESITE 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/

or

export
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/
  
(if you use bash)

and then do pkg_add, will get you latest packages build from the -STABLE
ports. You don't even have to worry about specific version numbers (i.e.
pkg_add -r bash instead of pkg_add -r bash-3.2.17_1) so this is a close
to a "port tree simulation" as possible. The package may still be
lagging a few versions behind the port however (or in some cases may not
even exist).

It certainly liable to get a better answer, because it has a higher
density of programmers hanging out there. I'm not sure it's a better
place to ask programming questions, as it's meant for discussing the
development of FreeBSD, as opposed to development on FreeBSD. On the
other hand, there doesn't seem to be a list for the latter on the list
of freebsd mail lists.

The answer depends on what your goal is. If you want to write portable
code, both strive to be Posix systems, so if you follow the Posix
guidelines, you'll be ok. Since I develop on several different Unix
platforms including FreeBSD for clients running GNU/Linux (among other
things), that's what I do, and it generally works.

However, if you start straying outside Posix, you'll find
differences. My experience is that Linux tends to be missing features,
but more lenient about transgressions of the standard, than
FreeBSD. On the other hand, my sample set is sufficiently small that
this may not be a good indication of what it's like for others.

Hello,

Pthreads is a standardized interface available on both Linux and FreeBSD, so 
there should not be any differences between them. Likewise for sockets. The 
only really minor difference I can think of right now is the sa_len member of 
struct sockaddr which is available on FreeBSD but not on Linux.

The cool thing about FreeBSD is that everything you need to program is already 
installed :)

Cheers,

Pieter de Goeje

linux-flashplugin7 security issue

[Anton Galitch]

Good day.
Well I wanted to install linux-flashplugin7 but it says that it has a
critical vulnerability:

# make install clean
===>  linux-flashplugin-7.0r69 has known vulnerabilities:
=> linux-flashplugin -- critical vulnerabilities.
   Reference: <
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/b42e8c32-34f6-11dc-9bc9-001921ab2fa4.html
>
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7.

I updated the ports with portsnap fetch/extract/update but it still says the
same. I suppose there is no fixed version yet? or there is any way to
install the fixed version?
Thanks.

[panic]page fault while in kernel mode

[ytriffy]

Hello.
Trap 12 occured when I rebooted PC. Sending you backtrace.
My system: amd64 3200+ Venice, MB ECS nForce4 A939,Samsung 250GB and WD
250 GB, 2 memory banks 512MB each, videocard: Geforce 6600gt 128MB,
NIC on realtek chip, sound card cirrus logic cs4281. It's very unstable,
crashes happen every day, so I'm hoping you would say why(any hints what
hardware may cause it).
How to repeat it? I don't know. It happened once during reboot process.

network/multithreaded programming on FreeBSD

[Michael S]

Good day all,

I am not sure this is the correct list for my
question, I am still going to ask though. 
I am a 3rd year computer science student and in the
fall I am going to be taking courses in network and
system programming (with pthread). As a lot of
universities do, mine also teaches these courses on
Linux. I was wondering if there was a lot of
difference in socket and multi-threaded programming
between Linux and FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Re: Binding dhclient to a particular network interface

[Jasvinder S. Bahra]

Chuck,

Oddly enough, after the system has finished starting up, running "dhclient
ed1" on the command line does work (though "sockstat -l4" still shows local
address as "*:68").  I could I have sworn that when I tried doing this the
first time I added the dhclient_flags line, it failed.

One thing I noticed as the system was starting up (after adding the
dhclient_flags entry into /etc/rc.conf), was that dhclient completed too
quickly.  Normally when dhclient runs, it usually takes several seconds to
do its thing (i.e... a noticeable delay between the "Starting dhclient"
message appearing and the message immediately after it), however there was
no delay between the appearance of the two messages - dhclient fails
instantly.

I doubt its relevant, but keep in mind this is a very old machine - an Intel
Pentium 120MHz, 48MB RAM equipped with two ISA network cards, running
FreeBSD 5.5.

I'm afraid I cant run the command you suggested on the DHCP server, as the
DHCP server in this case is built into the cable modem (to which I do not
have shell access, if it even provides such).  As for sticking a switch in
between and connecting an a third PC to monitor - i'd prefer to leave that
as a last resort for the time being as finding and setting up the additional
hardware will be a bit of a pain.

If you (or indeed anyone else) has any other suggestions, please do share.

Thanks,

Jazz

Good!

Now the good thing to do would be to create diffs for both files, and
submit them for inclusion in 6-STABLE with send-pr. That way everyone
with the same hardware can enjoy them.

And you'd have your first contribution to FreeBSD under your belt. :-)

The simplest way if you're new to FreeBSD would be to use sysinstall. 
Just type sysinstall at the promt in the console. In the menu select 
Configure, then Fdisk. If you know the device name of the disk in 
question, you need only select that one in the list that shows up, 
otherwise select all. You will now see a screen with info about the each 
disk you selected, one at a time. For the disk(s) you do not want to 
change, just hit ESC and select None in the list that appears. When you 
come to the disk you want to use as secondary, select the slices one by 
one and press D for each one. When all slices have been deleted, just 
press A, then W.
When you're done, go back to the main menu and select Label. Then you 
will see a screen with all the slices you configured, and available 
space in each one. Select the one in the secondary disc and press C to 
create a partition. You'll be asked to enter the desired size of the new 
partition, and if you want just one partition on the entire disk, just 
press enter. If you want more than one partition, repeat this until 
you're satisfied, then make a note the device name(s) created (for 
instance ad1s1e) and press W. The partition(s) will be formated.
I don't think this will make the disk automount, so you'll have to edit 
your /etc/fstab file, which contains info on all the filesystems to be 
mounted on boot, one line per entry. This is what an fstab entry looks like


/dev/ad1s1e  /usr   ufsrw22

First is the file system's device node, then under what directory you 
want it to be mounted, third is the filesystem type (should be ufs for 
native FreeBSD partitions), fourth is options (rw means read/write, see 
man fstab for other options). The last two columns should be set to 2, 
except for the root filesystem (should be 1) and swap, procfs and other 
specialities (should be 0). Once you're done, save the file and reboot, 
and you're disc should be automatically mounted.

That is pretty well documented in the handbook, FAQs and online 
publications.

A brief rundown is:
  You don't have to literally "reformat" it.   That is a low level
  process done at the factory and normally not redone.   But, we
  know what you mean - you want to do whatever is necessary to use
  it in FreeBSD and don't care what the process is actually called.

NOTE:  If it is SCSI the name is da1:  if IDE/SATA it is probably ad1:

ALSO NOTE:  I am presuming you do not intend to make this disk bootable.
If you do, add a -B flag to the fdisk and to the first bsdlabel

NOTE too:  This all must be done as root.

  First:  use fdisk to create one slice (da1s1) of FreeBSD type on it that
occupies the whole disk.
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=1024
  fdisk -I da1
the dd wipes out old stuff.  It might not be needed, but is easy
just to make sure.

  Second:  use bsdlabel to write the partitions in that slice.  Partition
layout Depends on how you want to use it.  For example, I will use
one chunk of extra swap and two mountable partitions d & e.
  bsdlabel -w da1s1  [this puts the base label there]

  bsdlabel -e da1s1  [this puts you in mode to edit partitions]
you will then see something like this:

  8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c:3355443200  unused   0 0  # "raw" part, don't edit

Edit it to look something like:

  8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
b:  20971620swap
c:3355443200  unused   0 0  # "raw" part, don't edit
d: 33554432*  4.2BSD2048 16384 8
e:**  4.2BSD2048 16384 28552

This will give you a 1 GB swap partition, a 16 GB da1s1d partition
and a da1s1e partition that takes up all the rest of the disk.

NOTE:  The numbers under size and offset are in 512 byte blocks.
   You can use values like 16GB, but this was is consistent.
NOTE too:  When you use * for offset and the final size, bsdlabel
   calculates them for you - correctly.   But you can specify
   them yourself if you want - if you are doing something weird
   like leaving a hole in the middle or whatever.

  Third:  You must run newfs on the two mountable partitions
  newfs /dev/da1s1d
  newfs /dev/da1s1e
Nowdays the defaults are generally good for most usages, but there
may be times you need to adjust them to get more inodes if you
have a large filesystem with lots of vary small files.

NOTE:  newfs seems to want the full device name still, even though fdisk
   and bsdlabel now will fill in if you just give them da1  without /dev.

  Fourth:  You must create mount points for the mountable partitions.
   Say you want to mount them as /work and /scratch, then
 mkdir /work
 mkdir /scratch

  Fifth:  You must edit /etc/fstab to add lines for each of the three
  new partitions.  The swap should look like your existing swap
  line with the new device name, something like:
/dev/ad0s3b   none swapsw0   0
  The mountable partition should look about like one of the
  other mountable partition lines but with the new names:
/dev/da1s1d   /workufs rw2   2
/dev/da1s1e   /scratch ufs rw2   2

Thereafter, it should all work just fine and dandy.   Again, note,
these examples are for SCSI.  For IDE/SATA the device names would 
be ad  in place of da
  such as bsdlabel ad1s1  and  /dev/as1s1d  for mounts.

The documentation is quite complete on this.  You should do
some reading.

Hi,

 

When I start a deamon running under linux emulation, the root of the
filesystem '/' seems to be in fact '/usr/compat/linux'

 

Is there a way to mount something like "/freebsd" pointing to the real
filesystem ?

 

If so, where would I put the mount command so that it is loaded when the
deamon starts ?

 

Thanks

Cancel my last, I did a symlink and it worked great.

Does running "dhclient ed1" from the command line work?
Is the DHCP server providing the right answer?

Running "tcpdump -s 0 arp or port bootps" would give you insight into what the 
network is seeing, at least.  Doing this from your DHCP server or a laptop on 
a hub with the interface in question would be useful vantages, or a "trunk" or 
"span" port on a smart switch, depending on what you might have handy.

my machine has a 40gb seagate disk for o/s, and a 160 gb WD disk for

I do agree though - the man page explicitly says that this should work.

Oh, and i'm absolutely sure that the interface is configured to use DHCP.
i.e...

-- /etc/rc.conf snippet ---
network_interfaces="ed1 ed2 lo0"
ifconfig_ed1="DHCP"
ifconfig_ed2="inet 10.1.0.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
--

I added the dhclient_flags line you suggested, after the ifconfig_lo0 line
shown above, though as far as I know the order does not matter.  Thanks for
the suggestion though.

Anyone have anymore ideas?

"man dhclient" suggests that the interface needs to be specified on the

sudo and env gotcha (or is it just me?)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

After blithely upgrading everything else, I at-
tempted rebuilding jdk15 and, crumbs! my nfs
mounted /ports (4.7G) filled up and the build
barfed although I have WRKDIRPREFIX set in
/etc/csh.cshrc

Barbara Streisand! I thought, what could be the
prob-lem now?

% cd /ports/java/jdk15 && sudo make extract
puts the work/ directory right there in
/ports/java/jdk15/
Hooray(?)! well, it's not portupgrade's fault,
since make is also not using $WRKDIRPREFIX

And then it occured to me that I had upgraded
sudo.  Oh ho!
% sudo env
gave me quite a short list, which certainly didn't
include WRKDIRPREFIX.

A not very quick perusal of man 8 sudo and then
man 5 sudoers and I finally found the env_reset
flag and a host of others besides.  Boy, was that
ever a fun auuenture!

Lesson:  be observant when upgrading
important things.

Heimdal/kerberos and DNS?

[Reuben A. Popp]

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm trying to setup a testbed here for a Kerberos server so that XP clients 
can authenticate.  I have been following the handbook for the server 
configuration and a few other sources for configuring XP as the client.  So 
far I have had good success as I can see the request for a ticket and can 
login just fine.  However, right after logging into the XP client, I see the 
following in the logfile for Kerberos (/var/heimdal/krb.log):

2007-07-30T12:51:12 Server not found in database: 
DNS/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: No such entry in the database

Can someone please explain this to me?  I can resolve the nameserver just 
fine, whether through nslookup or by consulting the hosts file.  Do I need to 
add an entry for the nameserver using kadmin as well?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Re: Binding dhclient to a particular network interface

Terry,

I tried adding the interface line to the dhclient configuration file (and
then rebooting), but it had no effect.  Entering the "sockstat -l4" command
showed that local address was still "*:68".

I had a look at the man pages for the configuration file, but other than
trying again with the word "interface" (as opposed to "Interface"), couldn't
think of any other approach.

Thanks for the suggestion though, and if you (or indeed, anyone else) has
any other ideas, please do share.

/dev/ad4 is probably his first SATA drive, the integer
following "s" is the slice number (partition in the magical

Try adding a macro for the correct device ID to
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. In this file it is listed as GUILLEMOT
instead of Hercules, though.

You should be able to see the device-id with 'usbdevs -v'. You're
looking for the first hexadecimal number (preceded by 0x). The second
one is the vendor, and should be 0x06F8.

Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs: 
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254 0xe000  HWGUSB2-54 WLAN

Then add

product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254V2 0x  HWGUSB2-54-V2 WLAN

Replace the  by the correct device ID. :-)

Add it to the usb_devno ural_devs array in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c, and rebuild your kernel.

Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254 },

Then add
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254V2 },

Rebuild and install your kernel, reboot and try again.

Using a Hercules HWGUSB2-54-V2 wifi usb adapter

[beni]

Hi,

System : 6.2-REL p4.

I'm trying to use this usb wifi adapter. It is based on a Ralink RT2500 
chipset and should thus be useable with the ural-device according to "man 
ural" (actually it speaks of the Hercules HWGUSB2-54, without the "V2").

The problem is that I only get a detection in dmesg like this :
ugen0: Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3
and that I don't get a "ural0" device.

All the devices needed according to man ural are in the kernel too.

How can I get this wifi adapter working ?

Thanks for any hints/pointers.

One of the good things about the design of FreeBSD >>IF<< you
install with separate file-systems, is that the OS fully resides
in /, and /usr is for all non-OS default programs.

You should be able to change the OS by only installing the / 
system, and do NOT make a new filesystem on /usr

Too many seem to advocate the idea of using the whole disk
and not using separate filesystems, and if that is what you have
done you have to backup all your /usr and then redo the install.

So many who advocate only one filesystem seem to come
from the Linux and/or MS world.

Hi,

I recently purchased a new USB keyboard, since my old PS/2 one has 
seen its best days. This has caused me annoying problems with my 
ELI disks, though.


I have four SATA harddrives, all of which are encrypted using ELI 
encryption. I've encrypted the raw disks, ad0, ad1, ad2 and ad3. 
The resulting devices ad0.eli, ad1.eli, ad2.eli and ad3.eli, I've 
concatenated into a large device, cc0, on which I have several 
partitions. To get this working, I of course need to boot from a 
separate device, and for that I use an SD card, which holds a boot 
directory. With my old PS/2 keyboard, this worked like a charm, but 
it seems to me, the ukbd driver isnt activated until after the ELI 
encryption, which means I'm unable to enter the passphrases for the

prompt.


Currently I have both the old keyboard and the new USB one 
connected. I use the PS/2 one to enter the passphrases, then I put 
it on the floor under my desk and use the USB keyboard. As you may 
very well understand, this is quite annoying. Is there a way to get 
the USB keyboard to work at the point where I enter the passphrases?


I've tried to change the keys for the disks to not use a 
passphrase, but only keyfiles and load them from loader.conf, just 
as described in the GELI man page (yes I did set the -P option), 
but that simply will not work (and to be honest, it's not a 
solution I'd favour); if I set the -b option (ask for passphrase on 
boot), it still asks for the passphrase, though there is none, and 
if I set the -B option (don't ask for passphrase on boot), the 
computer ends up at the "mountroot>" prompt.


I'd appreciate any help.

Sincerly,

Try setting hints.atkbd0.disabled to 1 in the loader, or in the 
device.hints file. Your usb keyboard may work in early stages with 
that device hint.


Erm, set the hint in the loader _first_, and then only put it in 
device.hints if it works!

Reid: No problem. Thanks a lot for your time anyway. :)

Anyone:
I read in the ukbd man page, the the USB keyboard will be detected after 
the console driver initializes itself. However, I also noted a macro 
named UPROTO_BOOT_KEYBOARD in the the /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ukbd.c file. 
I'm not a kernel hacker either, and my C skills date back to the late 
90's, when I created various simple apps for Windoze, so I can't really 
see what the macro does (it's obviously a flag of some kind; it's 
defined as 1). Though its name suggests to me, that it might be possible 
to make it work when the ELI passphrase is supposed to be entered. If 
its not possible ( in that case, I hope it will be made possible in a 
near future release), I'd be willing, as a fallback, to accept a no 
passphrase solution, but as I also mentioned in my original post, I 
can't make that work. I did exactly what the geli man page says (I 
substituted the device names of course). Is the man page complete? 
Should there be some flags set, that tells the kernel not to ask for a 
passphrase, and only use the loaded keyfiles? I have ELI support 
compiled into the kernel, but I've also tried it with the geom_eli KLD, 
with the exact same result.

Obviously take good backups before you try anything.

I recently downgraded one of my machines using sysinstall's binary "upgrade" 
feature. Goes something like this:

Download the .iso image for the relase or snapshot you'd like to downgrade to. 
(Skip if you already have a CD.)

Use mdconfig to create a device entry for your .iso image. (Skip if you 
already have a CD.)

Mount the cd image to /cdrom or /mnt. (Skip if you already have a CD.)

Run /usr/sbin/sysinstall (from your running system, don't boot from a CD).

Go to the options screen and set the Release name to match the .iso image or 
CD you're using. e.g. 6.2-RELEASE or 6.2-STABLE-200706.

Go back to the main menu and choose the "Upgrade" option.

Follow the prompts. If you're using a CD then use the CD media option. If 
you're using a .iso image use the local directory option and give it the 
directory where you mounted the image. Be sure to install the src 
distribution.

Check that the sources in /usr/src match what just got installed and then run 
mergemaster to fix up /etc.

Reboot.

These instructions come with no warranty, your mileage may vary, not 
responsible for items left in vehicle or data loss, etc etc. Good luck 
though. :)

Hi,

I recently purchased a new USB keyboard, since my old PS/2 one has 
seen its best days. This has caused me annoying problems with my ELI 
disks, though.


I have four SATA harddrives, all of which are encrypted using ELI 
encryption. I've encrypted the raw disks, ad0, ad1, ad2 and ad3. The 
resulting devices ad0.eli, ad1.eli, ad2.eli and ad3.eli, I've 
concatenated into a large device, cc0, on which I have several 
partitions. To get this working, I of course need to boot from a 
separate device, and for that I use an SD card, which holds a boot 
directory. With my old PS/2 keyboard, this worked like a charm, but 
it seems to me, the ukbd driver isnt activated until after the ELI 
encryption, which means I'm unable to enter the passphrases for the 
disks, thus I can't get the computer passed the first passphrase 
prompt.


Currently I have both the old keyboard and the new USB one 
connected. I use the PS/2 one to enter the passphrases, then I put 
it on the floor under my desk and use the USB keyboard. As you may

I'm not at all worried; the OP was. I was merely pointing out that most
auditing solutions have issues that can be worked around by a malicious
user; sometimes you just have to trust someone.

Re: ISC bind9 with dynamic DNS update (chroot problem)

[Reid Linnemann]

Thanks for reply.

Yes, your method works.
But I wonder why /var/named/etc/named/master directory permission
always reset to root at starting the daemon.

Hi

I use FreeBSD 6.2 and the base bind9.
For dynamic DNS update, bind9 automatically generate the journal

file

(end in .jnl).
The default config is to use chroot and the running user as 'bind'.

The problem is that after named is started (/etc/init.d/named

start),

the default chroot directory /var/named/etc/named permission will

be

reset to own by root. So the named daemon (run as user 'bind')

cannot

create the journal file and complain:

Jul 27 21:06:54 fbsd62 named[2862]: general: localdomain.db.jnl:
create: permission denied

One temp fix is to use chroot and run as root, any suggestions?

Regards
Patrick



When I did ddns, I had my dynamic zone files in a subdirectory off of

the named chroot- i.e. /var/named/etc/namedb/dynamic - and chowned it
to 
bind, allowing the bind user to read/write anything inside.




I forgot to CC: questions@ on my original reply

This is because /etc/rc.d/named auto-updates the chroot to an expected 
state defined by the mtree at /etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist


P.S.
Please do not top post, so the conversation order progresses from oldest 
to newest.

If you're really all that worried about this, don't give them root

IIRC, they're a contractor, not an employee.  Your presence during such  
operations wouldn't be abnormal for a contractor.


I don't have the original post of this, so I don't know the details, but  
this sounds like a good project for remote audit logging. Or is that only  
in FreeBSD 7?

Or use accounting: accton(8).

Is it possible to setup an accounting file as an named pipe, to log to a  
remote host?

what way to update named?

[Zbigniew Szalbot]

Hello,

I am using named version 9.3.3 which comes with FreeBSD system (i.e. was
not installed from ports). 

I know that in order to upgrade bind, I should cvsup sources and then go
through the entire procudure of updating the system, installing kernel,
etc. However, I tend not to use cvsup any more but I usually go for
freebsd-update tool. 

My question is: should I wait till freebsd-update tool includes an update
of bind to 9.3.4 or should I update the system from sources? I can wait but
I am just not sure what is the preferred method given that I use
freebsd-update on regular basis. This is FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #2

Thank you in advance!

sudosh (sudo shell) is an idea here. It gives them a root shell they can
do anything in, but everything is logged. It can even play back the logs
at any speed up you like (I like to watch.)

This seems great in principle, but of course, you just gave them a root
shell, and so they can delete their log file easily enough...

I have followed the indication provided in /usr/ports/UPDATING

Extensive reworking of the autotools ports has occurred, putting  
them in

the canonical locations, along with a suitable wrapper port to make
developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports)
considerably easier.

Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade, substitute the appropriate
commands if you are using portmaster:

   1.   portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*'
   2.   cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install
   3.   portupgrade -a


But as the first steps (portupgrade -f) gives the error reported before…
I don't know what to do…


Any help will be very apreciated.

mount_smbfs utf-8

[Khairil Yusof]

mount_smbfs -E UTF-8:UTF-8 //server/path /mnt/tmp

UTF-8 filenames do not show up at all on the FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE client.

They show up just fine using smbclient and mounted as nfs, files also
show up fine on Windows clients.

Is there a limitation with smbfs in handling UTF-8 samba mounts?

Or am I giving the wrong options to mount_smbfs?

Best way to upgrade mysql-server?

[Andreas Widerøe Andersen]

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 3.23 to 4.027. My steps were:

1. Stopped the mysql server
2. make deinstall in mysql-server 3.23
3. make deinstall in mysql-client 3.23
4. make install clean in mysql-server 4.0.27
5. Ran the mysql_fix_privilege_tables
6. Started the mysql server again

(and ofcourse backups before step 1)

Things seem to be working fine.

In regards to the existing database files, are there more "correct" ways of
doing an upgrade on a production server?

Also, does anyone have some good advice on optimizing tables, correcting and
speeding up things after an upgrade?

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas
