Apache and Environment
Hello. I use apache13 and php5. When I do a phpinfo(), I can see in Environment sensibles datas when I launch apache in root. I see all my env variables (as MAIL, TERM, USER, PWD, LOGNAME, EDITOR, OSTYPE, LANG, etc, etc...). So, we see informations about user who launched apache. When apache is launched as boot (with apache_enable=YES), I don't see these informations. I only see: HOME/ PATH/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin RC_PID 39 PWD / This is OK. There is no critical informations. How could I launch apache and mask these informations? I must reboot to have this default datas, else I see environment data about the user who lauch it.

Xfce with graphical login
Hello, I just installed Xfce4.4 on FreeBSD 7.0. I have been trying to get it to directly give me a graphical login. The Xfce manual says this can be done using gdm. According to it, I need to copy the example file xfce44.desktop into /usr/X11R6/share/xsessions. The example file is supposed to be located in /usr/local/share/examples (since Xfce is installed in /usr/local.) But there is no such file. 1. Is there any other location this file could be? (`locate` cannot find it.) 2. Can I download it from somewhere? Googling did not give anything. 3. Will anyone be kind enough to send me a copy by email? It is strange why the file's not there. Xfce was installed using pkg_add (the port was giving some error in compilation which I could not solve) and is working nicely without any obvious problems.

Welcome to FreeBSD Onkar! ;-) While installing from CD, you have the option to extract the source code. If you've already installed FreeBSD and your /usr/src is empty or non-existent, you could always login as 'root', and re-run the installer with: # /usr/sbin/sysinstall Then go to Configure (Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD), then Distribution (Install additional distribution sets), and then check src (Sources for everything). You could figure out the rest yourself. ;) The sources you'll get will be unpacked under /usr/src and can be used to recompile the system (kernel and base system) as described in the Handbook. Later, you may want to upgrade your system. Typically, you'll use 'csup' (/usr/bin/csup) to fetch the newest sources from one of the FreeBSD CVSUP mirrors. This will update your sources in /usr/src. Then you'll compile everything into /usr/obj (a temporary holding area) as described in the Handbook (have a look at /usr/src/UPDATING, near the end), and move the compiled binaries from /usr/obj to where they belong (again: see the Handbook). regards, Onkar -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey, if you want everything riding on one password, more power to you, but you might want to refrain from using phrases like stupid myth unless you've got some hard data to back them up. simply use good passwords. Or a nice little key encrypted with a good pass phrase. Use ssh-agent right and you can make things even easier for yourself. having to log through 2 accounts doesn't increase security. actually increases mess. The only mess I can think of is all that logging that forces a bit of accountability onto all the admins who know the root password.

[ ] For security purposes, you should probably actually configure your Debian system to behave more like your FreeBSD system, with regard to SSH. Set the PermitRootLogin value in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to no to prevent remote logins over SSH as root. This behavior is intended as a security measure. To access root remotely, log in over SSH as an account that has su access, then su to root, rather than just logging in as root directly. I think sshd_config in Debian has PermitRootLogin to no by default (i.e., as part of default installation).

I may be not thinking straight due to a head cold- in which case just tell me so- but building Imagemagick-6.4.0.7 from ports is failing.

You can get a third party BIOS to upgrade your system. Or create boot floppies to start the install.
