ext3 to ufs: filename character encoding woes
Hi all, Using rsync, I copied a collection of MP3s from an ext3 partition on my Linux F9 box to a UFS partition my FreeBSD 7 box. Many of the song titles had accented characters, which are now displayed as two question marks (??) on my FreeBSD system, like this: Toquinho Vinícius - Samba da Benção.mp3 -- Toquinho Vin??cius - Samba da Beno.mp3 Thinking that rsync might be interfering in some way, I checked the man page and found this option to use: -8, --8-bit-output leave high-bit chars unescaped in output but it makes no difference. I then tried copying a file with scp and then just cp across an NFS share. In every case, the accents get hosed. My Linux box is configured for UTF-8: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I would have assumed that this would also be the default setting for FreeBSD, but this appears not to be the case. Googling, I came up with instructions for editing /etc/login.conf, so I added :charset=en_US.UTF-8: under default:\ exited the shell and logged in again, but no change. What I am missing here?

network problem
After a recent change of ISP and hence our external IP address I find that our FreeBSD 6.1 apache http server appears to be invisible from outside our site. Port 80 requests just seem to hang whether done via a dns lookup or using the ip address. Checking the logs seems to indicate that no requests now arrive, but that we have seen some external requests since the ISP changed. The https/sshd/mysql etc servers are still visible externally and the http server is visible on its local address and if you visit the external address from inside the network. I suspect that either I've still got some misconfiguration on the server, gateway or or dns(although this seems less likely). Alternatively the ISP might have some other block in place. I've looked for the old IP address in /etc and found no usages the gateway appears to be correctly set up.

The server is listening to a local ip address which hasn't changed eg 192.168.0.x The external IP address was changed as was the external name server and the netmask. Our local net is provided by an ethernet router that has been configured with the new external IP address in exactly the same way as the old one. I've just reviewed the settings again and both https(443) and http(80) appear to be NAT'd to 192.168.0.x which is both the http https server. Https works http doesn't. The external IP is xxx.yyy.zzz.240 with netmask xxx.yyy.zzz.224 and gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.225 and I think that works. The dns server ip is setup in the gateway and it acts as both a dhcp server and static router. When I connect from the lan side to http://xxx.yyy.zzz.240 it seems to work fine. From outside it fails.

Re: network problem
Double check your network configuration. Double check your firewall configuration. Try to telnet the ip address from the outside on port 80. Try to nmap from the outside the ip address and see what is the result. -- paolo The external IP address was changed as was the external name server and the netmask.

If LIB32 is disabled in src.conf, only the first compilation takes place. If the generated hash values are the same, by some chance, then the actual problem is that the file is not compiled a second time when, in fact, it should be. This is only a guess, however. That collision isn't going to happen for several reasons, but it's missing the point I made earlier, that the build is failing on a cache miss.
