buildworld failes on 7.0-RC1

[nollan]

Hi all,

I get a buildworld error on 7.0-RC1, and I'd appreciate some help.

I've tried the following:
-

* Built w/o /etc/make.conf

* 'rm /usr/obj/*' - 'rm /usr/src/*'

* Tried RELENG_7 and RELENG_7_0.

* Done 'mergemaster -p' before build.


My 'uname -a':

i think it uses kemu, but its really a simple installation process,  
the whole thing is just a package, contained in the iso image i linked

Hey,

to download it:

I think you can try the trial for 30 days, after that, its 29.99USD

Thanks,

This can be done by setting "pam_check_host_attr" in ldap.conf for
pam_ldap.

QEMU Windows and X forwarding

[David Schulz]

Hello,

my Goal is to setup a FreeBSD Server that hosts about 5 Images of  
(licensed) Windows XP, which i made either using QEMU or Win4BSD.  
Those Images then i want to make accessible to old Macintosh PowerPC  
Machines, so the Users can access one or two Applications that only  
run under Windows XP. I would like to know from anyone in a similar  
situation how to accomplish this best.


Currently, I pretty much have it setup for myself, so when i open X11  
on my PowerPC Machine, and type in ssh -X server_address windows_xp ,  
i do get an instance of Windows XP on my PowerPC Machine.


The trouble here for now is server and network performance. I would  
like to know if anyone of you has any suggestions for me on how i can  
make the network load as little as possible. I read that freenx is  
offering really good responsiveness, but unfortunately it is marked as  
broken on my System using FreeBSD Version 6.3.


Thanks and best regards,
David Schulz

I read through the link you gave. My first impression is:

- pam-ldap is used for authentication: allow the user to login to the
  machine

- nss-ldap is used by the system when it needs to resolve things like
  gid<->group name, user home directory, etc.

I will give it a try soon.

Though I am looking one step ahead, how to allow a user to
authenticate to this machine and not that machine, using the same ldap
directory.

Bests,

Olivier

Via EDEN Chipset?

[Karl Denninger]

Hi folks;

I have an interesting little box here that *SHOULD*, in theory, look 
like an i386 PC to FreeBSD.


It is using the VIA EDEN Chipset.

I can PXE boot it and get as far as loading the kernel - it goes and 
gets the ACPI module.


It never prints the banner however.

But - I do know the code is starting, because it clears the keyboard - 
so it is definitely beginning execution, and it sets the cursor to a 
block - so it IS starting up.  At that point, however, its mostly "dead" 
- the keyboard is still active (num and caps toggle properly, but I have 
no video beyond that point)


I'm not sure what I'm looking for here - if I have a machine that is 
actually up but has had a heart attack with the built-in video (which 
allegedly is a VGA like thing), or what?


It WILL boot and run Windows NT 4 and XP without anything "special", so 
in theory, I should be able to at least boot FreeBSD on it I'd think.


Anyone tried one of these monsters?  Its one of the "mini-ITX" boards

Would some sort of backtrace help (and if so, any ideas how to get it 
from HERE?)


Sent to both -Questions and -Embedded because its not really an embedded 
system (it supports a regular IDE hard disk, etc)


Thanks in advance.

Please explain what you mean by "local accounts".




If I'm not mistaken from reading your reply, this implies one of two
things:




1. That I have two IMAP servers, one where I get all my mail, and a
   second one where I push mail after I have filtered/archived it.
   The first one should only by used by fetchmail, the second one is
   read by my various IMAP MUAs.




2. That I somehow have write access to the backend of my IMAP
   server, so I can pull all the mail from INBOX, do my
   archiving/filtering, and then repush to various folders and read
   from there.




Is that correct?


This isn't how I have it, I suppose Jack has a similar setup to mine,
I'll detail my setup:

First I have postfix installed with sasl/mysql backend, in MySQL I
have all the virtual accounts for various domains, for example I have
an entry for [EMAIL PROTECTED] which states that it's a normail
Mailbox, not an alias it also guides postfix/courier-imap to the
folder where the e-mails are stored.

When you send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the vmail
folder, Now using the package courier-imap which BTW provides both
IMAP and POP3 Server, the email received by postfix can be checked
using POP3 and the username [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full username because
this way I can have virtual domains, and the second most important
reason is below)

Now I have a normal UNIX user account 'wael' which has fetchmail that
downloads emails from many accounts, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and local
accounts (Which Jack mentioned as well and it's [EMAIL PROTECTED]
for my case), fetchmail spits the mail out to procmail which do all
the filtering and deliver the email to /home/wael/.mail folder (If
you left the courier-imap config files as they are then you should
deliver to Mailfolder instead of .mail, check /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/*)

For the IMAP part, When I Use 'wael' instead of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
it doesn't use the vmail but the UNIX user instead (see below) so it
delivers whatever is under /home/wael/.mail :)

The trick is that courier-imap has authlib backend (authdaemon) , and
authlib has mysql/pam backends, so when u request mails for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it matches mysql qnd goes to virtual mail dir,
when you send wael it matches pam and so mail on home folder

If you need more assistance don't hesitate to ask...



   By local accounts, I mean mail that is delivered directly to the
   server (instead of getting pulled in via fetchmail).
   And yep, that is basically my setup to.
   I use sendmail and don't have a mysql backend, but the concept is the
   same.
   Have one imap server and then pull/push all emails from all accounts
   into that imap account
   The benefits of this, is that all your email is in one location and
   you have access to it all, regardless of what workstation or client
   you are using to connect to that server.
   Once place to filter, backup, search, etc.
   It can take awhile to setup if your not familiar with mail server
   software, but once it's working it's very easy to manage a lot of
   different email accounts/addresses.

I've been meaning to get this started for awhile now, but time never is what

Is a *very* basic start ... right now, its just a pointer to Arla (client) and

NetBSD specific setup instructions.  I'm going to work on FreeBSD specific
ones, using that as a base, that will be on the Wiki itself ...

If anyone else does start working through the NetBSD instructions and wants to

something that I've *never* setup, so I'm starting from complete ground zero on

To sourceforge or not to sourceforge

[Danny Pansters]

Hi folks,

II would like to sollicit opinions and advice on whether or not to put a 
project on sourceforge or perhaps somewhere else (better?)

I have put kbtv1 on sourceforge as well as on my own website. Apart from 
getting to use sf.net as the first download location in its port I can't 
really say that it has been useful in any way. And updating it is a pain.

Now that I'm starting to distribute kbtv2 (beta) I find myself wondering 
whether I should continue to use sf.net or just use my own site (and possibly 
some secondary location in one of our committers' webspaces under freebsd.org 
(easy to add to port).

My primary objective with hosting my source (and to a lesser extend docs) 
elsewhere is availability (and to a lesser extend offloading data traffic). 
You know, just the simple thought "what if I drop dead tomorrow".

Are there better/simpler/faster alternatives to SF that people recommend?

One thing I noticed with SF is that there's all sorts of "me-too" (that is 
marketing) websites that just scrape SF and then forever have outdated info 
and downloads. I don't find this desirable at all. And besides, if you're 
using FreeBSD you're going to use ports not some external stale copy of the 
source. BUT it appears that there *are* people downloading old crud from such 
sites.

I tend to have the feeling that simply hosting it my damn self will work 99% 
of the time and cause fewest headaches, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Cheers,

Dan

how can i save IMAP indexed mail via username?

[Gary Kline]

About two months ago my mail system fell apart and a thoughtful network fellow 
helped me re-organize things.  Everything, including using a small server as 
a firewall.   We set up three services on another box, that included using 
IMAP (with sendmail).   IMAP indexes things on my mailserver logically, by an 
integer scheme.  When I look for an old file I have to scp to the server and 
grep through the entire list before I find what I'm looking for.  Previously, 
I  [[ usually ]] remembered the sender's name so that here, in ~/Mail, I 
could easily view the file with vi + a few keystrokes.

S, is there a way to make symlinks or copies of all  of my *saved* mail--
wherever?   In other words, if the message is in a file called
144567912456777878.556778990-67812989900 sent by user jqs, I would be able to 
view that message by just typing

% vi jqs. 

thanks,

gary

Have you tried gvinum(8)? Try loading geom_vinum.ko and see if any
devices appear in /dev/gvinum. IIRC, the on-disk metadata hasn't changed
between vinum and gvinum.

And you would like to serve what you have archived via IMAP? Or you
would like to forward what you have archived to another email(s)?? For
IMAP you're looking for courier-imap if forwarding then you're looking
for a small procmail configuration. If neither are the case you're
looking for then please expand your 1st e-mail, I couldn't

MIDI with snd_cmi.ko in FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE

[Mario Lobo]

Hi;

I know this has been asked here before but all the answers I could find 
referred to older freebsd versions. 

I have a pcm0:  port 0xac00-0xacff irq 19 at device 5.0 
and it has a midi interface (which is fully functional).
When I had 6.2, MIDI was working fine. I had /dev/sequencer, etc The 
devices showed up, but now they're gone.

Peeking through cmi.c, I found  TODO: MIDI. 

BUT i also found:

static DEFINE_CLASS(cmi_mpu, cmi_mpu_methods, 0);
static void cmi_midiattach(struct sc_info *sc)

and mpu init functions.

After a long googling session, I found that some people managed to get it 
working  by "loading a separate module (midi.ko ?? or mpu401.ko??)" but I 
could not find any info on how they compiled those separetly or made them 
work. Nor any other specifics on the subject.

I tried both device midi and device mpu401 on the kernel but none was 
recognized.

The reason for that is that I use Ardour (great studio) but I am unable to 
record midi, which is the only thing missing to use it fully.

Would anyone have a direction for me to research further?

If I rewrite this driver with a new name, what should I do include it in a 
kernel compilation?


Thanks

I personally have not needed to do much converting from flv, however I
installed the current version of the multimedia/p5-FLV-Info port (0.18)
and tried flv2swf out on your file which seemed to work fine.

I would suggest making sure you have an up to date ports tree and
then try again with the latest version of p5-FLV-Info as it completes
without error here.

Actually, I can now mount my old 4.x boot drive cleanly when I hook up this 
drive in a 6.2 machine.

However, I think I need to get the old boot drive to be able to boot, so I 
could then get to my other old drives, which are Vinum RAID-1.

I don't know if and how could I mount 4.x Vinum partitions under 6.2...

The first thing for you to do is to set up your LDAP tree, with your
users using objectClass=posixAccount, and your groups with
objectClass=posixGroup.

Then make the following changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf:
group: files ldap
passwd: files ldap

You then have to install the ports net/nss_ldap and security/pam_ldap.
The strategy you should adopt is to first get nss_ldap working before
looking at pam_ldap.

To configure nss_ldap:
cp /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf

When editing the nss_ldap.conf, the entries of particular interest
are "bind_timelimit" and "bind_policy", which will need to be changed
so that the system will still allow you login locally even if the LDAP
server is not running. I've got mine set to:
bind_timelimit 3
bind_policy soft

Make sure your "nss_base_passwd" and "nss_base_group" are set correctly.
I foudn that I didn't need have to set "rootbinddn" or provide a ldap.secret
file, YMMV.

You can then test with "getent group" or "getent passwd". However,
getent(1) is only available with FreeBSD-7 onwards. If you aren't
using FreeBSD-7, the simplest way to test is to create a file whose
user and group ownership refers to the LDAP entries, and then see if
a simple "ls -l" displays correctly.

Once you've verified that this is working, you can then configure
pam_ldap:
cp /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf.dist /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf

Again, set the bind_timelimit and bind_policy to ensure you don't hang
your system if the LDAP server isn't up.

To configure PAM, you have to add a reference to pam_ldap in the
appropriate PAM files in /etc/pam.d. Here's my snippet in
/etc/pam.d/login to allow a console login:

# auth
auth sufficient  pam_self.so no_warn
auth sufficient  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so  no_warn try_first_pass
auth include system
...

The pam_ldap.so reference will need to be added to other pamd.d files
as required, eg: imap, gdm, kde, xdm.

Hope this helps.

Another possible path:  Boot Freesbie or PC-BSD from CD-ROM and mount your

get this all to work).  'Just a thought - I take no responsibility if you

Maybe it could be useful for you too. Obviously, I haven't had the

I have the following problem when using screen sessions between

I know NIL about curses.  How would I go about debugging this? I would
need something like "xev" for curses to see what keys I get from the
different consoles and then I'd need something to find out what a

Where do I start looking?

Also, I see screen on FreeBSD emit line noise on a regular basis, both
when attaching before the session comes up and after deattaching.
Dunno whether this helps.  Example:
# session running, press detach key
[detached]
-en \033]0; grisu:ttype:~\007

Martin,

In the past I have had issues with reading some keys with curses too.

I would read the keys and if they were unknown I'd print out the value.  I 
used a large case statement and if the key fell through I printed out the 
value.


You also need to remember in curses most of the extra keys, function and 
movement keys are compound sequences where first ESC is sent, then the 
actual keycode is in the next two bytes.  You have to get those two bytes 
and put them together to decode the actual keycode.


You can debug your program in any debugger, I used xxgdb from the ports.

Thanks a lot. That might be interesting. TLS might not be that vital,
since I'm mostly thinking of a solution on my own servers and
primarily only on the central one. When I was on Linux, PAM was almost
a most, but I think it is different on FreeBSD, so I guess I would
prefer the solution with nss_ldap.
Your are right, nothing severe will happen if I try to get the LDAP
server and client up and running in the first place. As far as I
remember, the most critical issue was how to initialize the database
and how to make a reasonable structure suited for both user
authentication, Samba and some mail server. Right now I have to
parallel structures, one for Samba/system users and one for (virtual)
mail users.
I still wonder why a "universal" implementation of LDAP authentication
on FreeBSD is not described anywhere. But if I find the time and
energy, I migth try to experiment on my own and might also return to
you if a have more specific issues.

Curses problem with keymapping in screen and debugging curses

[Martin Cracauer]

I have the following problem when using screen sessions between
FreeBSD and Linux:

The pageup/pagedown keys stop working when I re-attach a session that
was started under FreeBSD to a console that is Linux driven and vice
versa.  All other keys, including alt/meta and some supposedly more
complicated keys continue to work.  I haven't verified this in detail
but it seems that while programs like mutt seem affected often emacs
seems to be happy.

I know NIL about curses.  How would I go about debugging this? I would
need something like "xev" for curses to see what keys I get from the
different consoles and then I'd need something to find out what a
given session expects.

Where do I start looking?

Also, I see screen on FreeBSD emit line noise on a regular basis, both
when attaching before the session comes up and after deattaching.
Dunno whether this helps.  Example:
# session running, press detach key
[detached]
-en \033]0; grisu:ttype:~\007

If you use fread to read the stream, you can test using feof or ferror and 
conditionally keep reading depending on the condition.


You should add signal handling so the program is only killed when you want 
it to be.




The data from the switch is ASCII with carriage
return/linefeed sequences so nothing really harsh goes on, but I
need to make it as bullet-proof as possible.

In addition, the actual data are 7-bit, odd parity with
1 stop. I basically ignored that fact last time and masked off
the MSB of each character and that's how it has been for 5
years.

Now, I am writing a similar program to log different
data from that same telephone switch and I want to do better
this time, but not reen vent any wheels I don't have to.

What is the best way to use as much of the existing UNIX
environment as possible to listen to /dev/ttyd[x] with no
interpretation of incoming data?

The data will be dumped at the end of each line, stored
in a file, and other action may be taken but normally, the
program will just be in a receive-blocked mode, waiting to hear
something new.

About the only thing I am doing differently this time is
trying to set the tty such that it doesn't look for any EOF or
other control codes in the data. The data will be treated as raw
and what ever comes across is okay. The program will clean it up
to make it good for the file.


You still need to handle when the cord is unplugged, or put the server in a 
secure location away from other people.



As I stated, the standard /dev/ttyd device has done
amazingly well in FreeBSD4.7, but some of that has been dumb
luck. We shouldn't have to warn people in the area that they
could kill the logger by unplugging the cable since they
wouldn't be aware that they stopped it until we found out later
when there was nothing in the file.

Searching archives dealing with serial communications
produced good information about dialup lines and terminals, but
this is actually less complex.

Many thanks for any good advice about stty or anything
else that will allow one to use standard devices for this
project.


If you want the program to be more capable of staying running you can have 
the program fork a child and if the child dies, fork a new child.  This is 
the method used for many running services.  Just be sure if the child dies 
the log file is closed and that same file is opened by the new child.

That sounds very unlikely because /dev/ad1, /dev/ad1s1 and /dev/ad1s1c
overlap each other in naming/identity.   

My first question would be which FreeBSD version was used to create
that disk?   If it is not too old 2.xxx or later, then there should 
be no problem.

Use fdisk to find out how it sees the drive.  Do fdisk ad1
and check out what it says.   Especially look to see what slices
that fdisk thinks it has.   Maybe there is only an  s1  active
with anything in it.  That would be easiest and very common.

Then use bsdlabel to look at what partitions are defined in any 
of the slices. do baslabel ad1s1  (for slice 1,  ad1d2  as well
if there is a slice 2 being used, etc)
>From root, do  bsdlabel ad1d1 and see what partitions are defines.
Remember that partition 'c' is not a real partition, but a label to
define the whole slice to the system (it will have a type of 'unused')
and that in most cases partition 'b' is used for swap (and will have
a type of 'swap'), though it does not have to be swap.
The other partitions; a, d, e, f, g, h, could be real partitions with
something on them.   Almost certainly the 'a' partition will be root
on a bootable slice.

Do an fsck on each real partition.  'fsck /dev/ad1s1a'  etc

Then create a mount point and try to mount it.

  mkdir /olda(the name is arbitrary, just needs to be unigue)

  mount /dev/ad1s1a /olda

If this all doesn't work, then problems are more serious and you may
not be able to recover the data.   Anyway, you will need to try more
extreme measures.

portupgrade -o databases/mysql50-client mysql-client-4.0.26_1
portupgrade -f php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 

should be all you need, I think.  You'll probably want to portupgrade
anything else linked to the old mysql client libs too, just to keep
everything at the same version.  Why not upgrade mysql-server, too?

Doe anyone have experience upgrading the mysqlclient-4.0.x to
mysqlclient-5.0.x while retaining mysqlserver-4.0.x and linking
php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 against mysqlclient-4.0.x.

How would I do this? I got some clue about setting PREFIX and
configure option but not much.

If your switch this system is connected to is managed, you can check the 
ports these connect to for collisions of other issues.


When ethernet throughput degrades it can be caused by many factors like the 
stream sending the packets slowing down, or transmit errors causing 
retransmission of packets.  Often once there are errors, they grow 
exponentially because of retransmission etc.


You should try to isolate the exact conditions you have when you see the 
traffic flow degrade.

I'll answer my own question.  When I installed php4, I failed
to select build apache module from the config screen.  Once I did this,
libphp4.so was built.  Copied it to the correct location
(/usr/local/libexec/apach) and apache was happy again.

As you have found -I which is the same as -T will read the file, and in 
create mode add those files to the tar volume, but then the next param is 
read as another pattern to archive.  Why not do just:

tar cvf /usr/local/backupScript/files/www-client-files.tar -I

Alex,

What I meant to say was that you can:

But you can't:

Replying to myself I've solved with

ln -s libmozjs.so.1.0 libmozjs.so

This is because I realized in the ld manpage that the linker when invoked 
with -larchive looks for a library libarchive.so But a question remains. How 
could I link a library which name is libarchive.so.1.0 ?

You specified /usr/local/www/data-dist on the command line, so you get
the directory and everything in it.  The -I command *does* add just
the files in the include file, but then specifying data-dist
explicitly gets everything in it.

I believe the -T switch in tar is for "include the files in {file}"

tar cvf myfile.tar -T path/to/include

llmozlib fails to build (unofficial port)

[Aline de Freitas]

I'm triyng to build llmozlib (which is a dependency for secondlife viewer) 
from the port provided in 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_viewer_(FreeBSD).

The build fails in a way that looks very easy to solve, but I couldn't manage 
it.

The error message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmozjs

c++ is invoked with:
-L../../dist/bin -lmozjs

and in the ../dist/bin directory we have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
/usr/ports/local/llmozlib/work/llmozlib/build_mozilla/objdir-mozilla-freebsd/dist/bin]#
 
ls -lh libmozjs.so.1.0 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel28B 14 Fev 10:30 
libmozjs.so.1.0 -> ../../js/src/libmozjs.so.1.0

The link is not broken and the permissions looks right to me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
/usr/ports/local/llmozlib/work/llmozlib/build_mozilla/objdir-mozilla-freebsd/js/src]#
 
ls -lh libmozjs.so.1.0

Does any one have any idea about what may be wrong here?

SACK retransmit single packet although ack announces multiple gaps

[刘真]

HI; 

thanks in advance!

I am doing my test with SACK on FreeBSD 7.  When the sender receives ACKs with 
sack information, even if there are multiple gaps in the sack information, 
after 3 duplicate ACKs, the sender only retransmit 1 packet during that RTT.  
there are something may need to be set properly :

net.inet.sack.maxholes(default value :128)
net.inet.sack.globalholes(0)
net.inet.sack.globalmaxholes(65536)

but i found no instructions on how to set them, so i just keep their default 
values. is the performance related to these parameters, how can i set them... ? 
if not, who knows what would be the problem...

thanks!

Nope, I have had machines that I upgraded from 4 to 5 and 6 without

With no old disk installed, what is your mounted disks/partitions?
Result of mount -p.

If you have it what was the result of mount -p on the old machine.

What is the result of "fdisk /dev/ad0" ?

Install the old hard disk, what is the result of "fdisk /dev/ad1" ?

> Is that correct?

This isn't how I have it, I suppose Jack has a similar setup to mine,
I'll detail my setup:

First I have postfix installed with sasl/mysql backend, in MySQL I
have all the virtual accounts for various domains, for example I have
an entry for [EMAIL PROTECTED] which states that it's a normail
Mailbox, not an alias it also guides postfix/courier-imap to the
folder where the e-mails are stored.

When you send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the vmail
folder, Now using the package courier-imap which BTW provides both
IMAP and POP3 Server, the email received by postfix can be checked
using POP3 and the username [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full username because
this way I can have virtual domains, and the second most important
reason is below)

Now I have a normal UNIX user account 'wael' which has fetchmail that
downloads emails from many accounts, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and local
accounts (Which Jack mentioned as well and it's [EMAIL PROTECTED]
for my case), fetchmail spits the mail out to procmail which do all
the filtering and deliver the email to /home/wael/.mail folder (If
you left the courier-imap config files as they are then you should
deliver to Mailfolder instead of .mail, check /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/*)

For the IMAP part, When I Use 'wael' instead of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
it doesn't use the vmail but the UNIX user instead (see below) so it
delivers whatever is under /home/wael/.mail :)

The trick is that courier-imap has authlib backend (authdaemon) , and
authlib has mysql/pam backends, so when u request mails for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it matches mysql qnd goes to virtual mail dir,
when you send wael it matches pam and so mail on home folder

If you need more assistance don't hesitate to ask...

I believe its under system->file or utilities. And yes, it is few levels deep 
so look for it carefully.

Please explain what you mean by "local accounts".

If I'm not mistaken from reading your reply, this implies one of two
things:

1. That I have two IMAP servers, one where I get all my mail, and a
   second one where I push mail after I have filtered/archived it.
   The first one should only by used by fetchmail, the second one is
   read by my various IMAP MUAs.

2. That I somehow have write access to the backend of my IMAP
   server, so I can pull all the mail from INBOX, do my
   archiving/filtering, and then repush to various folders and read
   from there.

Is that correct?

Re: Trying to recover data from FreeBSD 4.11 system

[Wojciech Puchar]

So, I installed this drive as the second hard drive in a FreeBSD 6.2 system
and I tried to mount it, but I got "incorrect super block".

Looks like I have /dev/ad1, /dev/ad1s1, /dev/ad1s1c, and /dev/ad1s1e.


no ad1s1a?



Is there a way to mount these filesystems?


possibly try fsck - i don't know (my first FreeBSD was 5.*) but maybe UFS 
changed a bit?

This is exactly my setup as well, Except I use Mutt for a client, or
If I'm not on my PC I use horde which is on my server as well, so
whereever I am, my e-mail is always organised, I never lose an email,
plus the whole .mail folder is rsynced to another server so that's my
extra backup.

Thanks that actually worked out nicely...

I see you have the same problem I used to have, your e-mail has not
been sent to the list at all :)

Re: archiving all IMAP mail?

[Jack Barnett]

This is the setup I use:

external accounts (pop, imap, etc) <->fetchmail -> procmail -> 
filter&archive -> imap

local accounts -> procmail -> filter&archive -> imap

Then my imap clients connect to the imap server.

The imap server I use is courier-imap (has ssl which is nice)
then use Thunderbird for the clients (runs multiply platforms)

This setup works well, everything is auto-archived and also can get 
access to my mail from anyplace and it's the "same".
It scales well too, fairly secure and have once place to back up all my 
emails.
