Setting up FreeBSD i386 in a jail seems to do the job for most people. You can
have a whole i386 system in a jail and it won't even recognize it's running on
an amd64 kernel.

Just start cdcontrol and enter play.

You don't need any entries in /etc/fstab to play audio CDs. Only the rights to
access the device /dev/acd0 have to be set. If other applications cannot play
CD-audio, you just have to configure them to use the right device.

No, door is closed and there is only one device.
Actually cdrecord works ok. So I guess this is is some bug with burncd.
burncd is obsolete anyway.

It's wrong that handbook still recommends to use cdrecord on ATAPI cd-writer.

Well, live 'n' learn. Of course, then mmore you think aboutit,
the CD's and DVD's are read-only.   No need to mount them.
One of these decades, I'll write up a long article on how-to use
these disks; and how to copy  them as well.  It alll works; 
it's just more autoomated under the Ubuntu fork of Debian

Pioneer DVR-112D/1.21 refuses to write CDs, only writes DVDs

[Yuri]

I bought the new DVD writer -- Pioneer DVR-112D.

But every time I try to write data CD or audio CD it gives Input/Output error.

It can read CDs and write and read DVDs no problem.

Anybody else has this problem? What is the solution?

I know I should submit PR to the bug database but since PRs are processed so
slowly I decided to ask here first.

acd0: DVDR  at ata0-master UDMA66
cd0:  Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
I use FreeBSD-6.3-PRERELEASE.

I had Sony DVD writer before, it wrote CDs on the same system w/out problems.

With 4GB and a E6850 (P35/IHC9(R)) almost all the pci devices I had
where reconized *EXCEPT* any nvdidia card under i386 this was
instantly "fixed" as soon I switched to amd64.   Even though I don't
feel like rehashing all the stuff that I had to go through to get some
stuff working (do a search for threads started by me) suffice it to
say that when  I first got the box 90% of the devices that the machine
came with either where not functional and/or had driver issues.
After working with the people on -current (and learning a fair amount
about the guts of FreeBSD) there are only 3 issues left:

1. The NIC slowly dies (see "re(4) slowly dies")

2. Problems reading/writting from dvd/cd (see the many threads on
ihc9 issues on -current [note to Jeremy the Phillips just arrived but
I am in the process of doing a portupgrade -afk so will test it tommorow])

3. The issues with nvidia kernel module on amd64 (alternativelly
does anyone know how hard it would be to get bettern 1024x768 with nv?)

Hello:
I have installed Cyrus23 from ports and then read
the pkg-message and it has references to
/usr/local/cyrus and usr/local/etc/imapd.conf
both of which do not exist.
FreeBSD 6.2
Wouldn't the install have created these?
I have lots of docs on Cyrus and Postfix
but none specific to how ports does this.
I have postfix installed and running. Do I
have to redo it with cyrus support. One of

I do not see anything specific in the

You just boot the 386 install disk and install it, the same as you
do on any other 386 box.  Works great for me.

If you want to run some 386 applications on top of an amd64 kernel,
I agree that's a lot trickier.  If I had more time, I would work on
getting cross-compiling ports to work properly.

That's odd.

The laptop I'm typing this is amd64-capable, but installing from the
FreeBSD/i386 release CD-ROMs worked like a charm.  Which methods have
you tried?

BTW, the i386 kernel module of nvidia should run fine on FreeBSD/i386.

Closer, perhaps, but the stderr is 

Plaaying cdda://1.
File not found: '1'

So whatever it's looking fo r  with "cdda://" is missing.

You are not trying to _mount_ an audio CD-ROM, right?

If you are, then please read carefully the Handbook chapter about
multimedia and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM disks.  It will help a lot :)

You don't mount audio CDs. They don't carry a cd9660 filesystem.

Try something like this with a CD in the drive;

Gary, I've watched for this to go awhile before i went and jumped in, to

that's been 100% reliable for me, I used it regularly under linux with 
k3b to burn stuff.  Now, under FreeBSD, k3b won't even recognize it as a 
ro or rw cd drive at all.  I can coax burncd to burn bootable disks 
successfully with it, but after the command completes, all further 
accesses to the drive return "device busy", and I have to reboot FreeBSD 
in order to even eject the cd.  The only way I even knew the disk was ok 
was because afterwards, it tried to boot the machine from the disk image 
of a FreeBSD boot disk (which is what I was burning, for a different 
machine, an AMD64 next to it).  Lucky that this machine is even binarily 
compatible (the Intel box is a 64 bit processor, so it boots AMD64 fine, 
but I didn't install it that way).


Anyhow, how could I either coax k3b to recognize it, or get burncd to 
let the disk go after it's finished with it?

   Even though audio CDs use the ISO-9660 standard, they aren't really 
mountable (depends on how you look at the problem, i.e. what OS you use, 
and what audio playing app you use).
   Specifying the /dev node or mount point (via the application / 
plugin preferences), without trying to mount the actual disk, will most 
likely yield the results you want.

ssh-agent and your ssh public key is in root's

practice with most long-running daemons exposed to the network:
it limits the damage that can be done by remote compromise of
the software.

and this accept, I know that MySQL has a separate set of user/passwords
and various levels of access privilege, When I built and installed 
MySQL I had
to create a mysql user as a normal user with password, unless I 
misunderstood.

Someone who knew this password would be able to log into the system as
user mysql (or the name that was given to mysqld to run as)

The best way to configure MySQL in that situation is to

* use 'skip-networking' in the configuration file.  This
  forces all connections to mysql to be via the unix domain
  socket in /tmp/mysql.sock

* Run 'mysql_secure_installation' to remove remote root access,
  set the root password, get rid of wildcarded logins etc.

* Review all user IDs and GRANTS carefully -- if you aren't using
  networking, then all your MySQL users should be
  'userid'@'localhost' Adopt a polict of *minimum privilege* --
  allow only the necessary access required for things to keep

* In order to prevent the MySQL root password being used routinely

  file /root/.my.cnf with contents like:

user = root
password = yourpassword

  Make sure the file is mode 600: read-write only for the owner
  With this in place, then once you've become the Unix root user
  you can then just type 'mysql' and get a root MySQL session
  without having to type any passwords.  ie. you rely on the
  security of your Unix root account to protect your MySQL
  root account.

Unless you're running a particularly heavyweight Cyrus
installation (ie. lots of users + lots of e-mail) or you've 
got really weedy hardware, then you're better off running 
MySQL on the same machine as the rest of the mail system.

Remember that there is a completely separate set of logins
and passwords *within* MySQL -- nothing to do with the system
logins from /etc/passwd.

The best way to configure MySQL in that situation is to

* use 'skip-networking' in the configuration file.  This
  forces all connections to mysql to be via the unix domain
  socket in /tmp/mysql.sock

You can hook into mergemaster, using shell scripts.  See the manpage of
mergemaster for more details, but here's a short description of what I
use on my laptop for some time now:

1. A `.mergemasterrc' file in the HOME directory of the `root' user,
   which contains:

STRICT=no
MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT=/root/mm-pre-compare.sh

2. The `/root/mm-pre-compare.sh' script contains the following:

#!/bin/sh

# NOTE: No PATH needed, because mm's PATH is already
# draconian enough.

# If TEMPROOT is not set, or it is set to a path which
# resolves to the real root filesystem, abort early, before we
# trash the config files of the installed root filesystem.

if test -z "${TEMPROOT}" ; then
echo >&2 "$0: error: TEMPROOT is unset or empty."
exit 1
fi
p=`realpath "${TEMPROOT}"`
if test "${p}" = '/' ; then
echo >&2 "$0: error: TEMPROOT is the real root filesystem."
exit 2
fi

case "${PRE_WORLD}" in
'')
# The following files always have local changes.
# Remove them from ${TEMPROOT} to force mergemaster(8)
# to ignore these files when comparing /etc directories.

rm -f "${TEMPROOT}/.cshrc"
rm -f "${TEMPROOT}/.profile"
rm -f "${TEMPROOT}/root/.cshrc"
rm -f "${TEMPROOT}/root/.profile"

Not really.  When *mounted* even DVD-RW disks are read-only.

That's because they are not written ``through the cd9660 filesystem

I have seen slowdowns as well.  You can speed up start time by disabling
unused plug-ins as Evo spends a lot of time in the linker when starting.
As for the rest of the slowdowns, please report them using GNOME
Bugzilla.  My research indicates that there is nothing FreeBSD-specific
to this problem.

Same here on sched_4bsd.
Also I can say, that problem appears earlier than last release of gnome.
And it becomes worse with last update.

(same bits: startup, right-click on attachment, move message to folder,
change sort order /that only on last evolution/).

Never mind. It's my careless. I created other supfile with . in it and cvsup

OpenEXR portupgrade failure

[Alain G. Fabry]

Hi,

Apparently OpenEXR needs to be done as dependency for kde. But my portupgrade

sysutils/etcmerge vs mergemaster

[Peter Schuller]

Hello,

etcmerge, with three-way merging, has been available for a while, but the man 
page still warns of it not being extensively tested, and of course 
mergermaster still seems to be the officially supported tool.

In spite of this, etcmerge is attractive since, to be honest, manually 
saying "yes update" to a bunch of files that mostly have only CVS revision 
changes is a waste of time. (In addition even files with local changes would 
be easier to handle with etcmerge)

Given the obvious benefit to etcmerge's fundamental algorithm I have to wonder 
why it does not seem to be more wide spread in use. Are there problems with 
it that I don't know about? How many people use it in production? Are there 
advantages to mergemaster that causes mergemaster to even be preferred over 
etcmerge as the default tool in base?

What version of pixman do you have installed? I experienced the same
problems under pixman 0.9.5, and found that they are fixed in 0.9.6.
FreeBSD has since updated the related port to match the new version.

In my case, evince and swfdec were causing the crashing pretty reliably.
I originally attributed the problem to swfdec, but after some GDBing, I
found that it was happening in pixman.

Hi there,

I've checked what I'm using and it is:

 pkg_info | grep pixman
pixman-0.9.6Low-level pixel manipulation library


So I'm already using this version while experiencing those problems. I'm so 
glad I removed everything because now my workstation is stable again and that's 
a huge relief for me.

Brgds

Set the system immutable and undeletable flags (as root);

chflags schg,sunlnk /etc/aliases /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow \
/etc/manpath.config

There is an option you can set in /etc/mergemaster.rc to ignore
/etc/motd, and the -P option to preserve replaced files.

Of course you can always hack it to ignore some files.

you should use root mount it.


Or set vfs.usermount to 1, if I remember right.  I can't recall what's 
the proper method for setting it at boot, rc.conf or loader.conf.  The

security(personal server behind a buggy router/firewall).


I have a dvd-rw and cd-rw in the same box, and I haven't recalled any

As far as I know it's not possible to write a CD/DVD by copying stuff to the
mount. cd9660 are always read-only. CD/DVD burning always goes right through
the device /dev/acd0 or the CAM interface /dev/cd0.
