I'm trying to use maildrop as MDA with sendmail, but I'm facing some troubles. That is, since some of my local users don't have defined a home dir, when maildrop is set to delivery mode (-d $u) in sendmail.cf, as shown in sendmail docs: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop -d $u') the following message starts to show: Aug 15 11:43:25 host1 maildrop[75586]: Unable to change to home directory. If, on the other hand, I set it in sendmail as in manual mode: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop /usr/local/etc/maildroprc') The maildrop processes start to grow, and the following message starts to show: Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: timeout waiting for input from host1.mydomain.com during client greeting Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: smtpquit: mailer local exited with exit value 75 It seems that no message body is sent to maildrop. Does any of you have successfully configured maildrop+sendmail in an scenario like that? I don't use the 'local_procmail' feature of sendmail so can't comment on those specific issues. I have a mail server using sendmail/maildrop and use /etc/mail/virtusertable and /etc/mail/aliases, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] user-alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] user-alias user-alias:| /usr/local/bin/maildrop -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know off-hand whether or how using the 'local_procmail' feature impacts on the use of aliases and virtusertable, but there might be a solution in there for you. If you can't find a solution you might also try asking on the maildrop users list.

Linux Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - no sound
Hello. I recently installed from ports (games/linux-enemyterritory). At first it complained about missing X11 lib, and I concluded that installing linux-xorg-libs should sort it out.

Anyway, I have never raised securelevel in any of my production boxen since I've never had reasons to. There must be reasons for it and I believe that is what you need to find out, and also find out if your situation warrants such actions.

Other than that, I have an external USB hard disk attached to my home server permanently. It is on all the time, it gets mounted / unmounted by scripts once or twice a day.

Re: Max. number of opened files, efficiency
How many files can I open under FreeBSD, at the same time? ... I tried to open 1000 temporary files and I could do so within one second. Another interesting (offtopic) question is that I could not open 10 000 files under Windows XP. Error was too many open file. How to overcome this? The maximum number of files is controlled by kern.maxfilesperproc in /etc/sysctl.conf. It appears (on my 7.0 system) that the default is 2599. The maximum number of files per process for Windows XP is controlled in stdio.h and is set to 512 (with three eaten by stdin/stdout/stderr). On earlier versions of Windows, this number was much lower. The way to overcome this is almost always to redesign your program. You're not spawning 1000 threads (I hope) to write to every file simultaneously, so you can probably move the open/write/close-file inside your 1-to-1000 for loop and only need one file open at once, which is much more reasonable. If the size of your temporary files is small, you might look at using in-memory variables instead of files.

Well, the article is right to the point that you will not install nvidia drivers on an ATI card ;) However as I understand 3D support in ATI is a hit and miss even in Linux (and ATI's proprietary driver is awful). The xorg.conf settings in the article have only been tested with nvidia, and may need some adjustment for other 3D capable cards. I've been told they don't work with Intel, but will investigate this on my eeePC soon. As for your ATI, a quick search shows that 3D with AIGLX is supported by the open source drivers in X300. I've found several xorg.conf samples, so it is probably a matter of doing a bit of research. If you do find the magic line that makes it work, I would be glad to hear about it and add it to the article.

[snip] It would also be helpful to know how you are trying to run KDE. There are two ways, the first being to have a line like: ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon xterm on secure in /etc/ttys which starts kdm as a graphical login at boot. The other is to boot and login as user, then do the startx command which needs startkde to be in .xinitrc and/or .xsession in your Home directory. Nothing else; what else neeeds cleaning? Not sure what got munged with your power glitch, but a couple of times in the past when I've had trouble getting KDE to start I would login as root (or su) without X running and delete some stuff. Look in your user home directory for something like .DCOPserver_hostname_:0; there will be two - one is a link to the other. Delete both of these and delete the ksocket-yourusername folder in /tmp. Also while in /tmp look for .X0-lock and delete. Look for the folders .ICE-unix and .X11-unix and delete all the sockets you find in these two folders. Make note both of these folders should have the sticky bit set. Also delete the /var/run/kdm.pid again like before. This is how I've gotten KDE to start in the past after an uh-oh. It also may not pertain to your particular situation. One thing you can do to troubleshoot X if you are using startx (ie not starting kdm at login with the ttys line above) is to have an empty .xinitrc and/or .xsession. Then when you run X the twm window manager should come up, as it is the default for X. This way you can drive a wedge between Is it an X problem or a KDE problem? Good luck and I hope you get it going. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: USB Drive Reliability

I realize that this is primarily a tech support forum. I wasn't asking for a solution to the problem. I was asking for other peoples experiences. If the USB support in FreeBSD was spotty according to other people, as has been reported, then I plan to not even try to work on it more until I install 7.1. Just for the record: - crashes the system on attachment - crashes the system on detachment - the system hangs on attachment but resumes responding if you pull the drive - installing the drive results in the little blue light coming on with dmesg reporting attachment, but attempts to mount fail with device not configured or somesuch - dataloss on the device that chkdisk in DOS couldn't save Basically, every possible bad behavior that you could ask from a USB connected drive has happened to me over time as I keep coming back and trying USB drives. That's OK. I'm not upset. I'm not complaining. I just want to know what to expect from USB drives in FreeBSD. BTW, I love Poland! My family hails from Poland several generations ago. I just watched you guys win gold in boat racing. Robert Kubica is my favorite driver. I've also been keeping on eye on Poland in the world scene. Don't let the bear get you down.

Shell scripts: variable assignment within read loops
I am writing a (Bourne) shell script that is intended (among other
things) to obtain information from a command, such as:
netstat -nibd -f inet
by reading and parsing the output.
However, the obvious (to me) approach of piping the output of the
command to the standard input of a while read ... statement turns out
to be not very useful; it appears that while
foo=
while read bar ... ; do
...
foo=$bar
...
done $filename
echo $foo
will assign to foo the value of the bar variable form the last record
read (in FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE, at least), the following fails to do so:
foo=
cat $filename | while read bar ... ; do
...
foo=$bar
...
done
echo $foo
Well, that's not *quite* accurate:the assignment is done all right, but
in the latter case, it appears to be done in a subshell, so by the time
we get to the echo statement, any variable assignments from within the
read loop have vanished.
Here's a cut/pasted, somewhat contrived example:
#! /bin/sh
foo=0
echo 0 foo: $foo
while read line; do
echo 1.0 foo: $foo
foo=1$line
echo 1.1 foo: $foo
done /etc/resolv.conf
echo 2 foo: $foo
echo
foo=2
echo 3 foo: $foo
eval cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep '.'
cat /etc/resolv.conf | while read line; do
echo 4.0 foo: $foo
foo=3$line
echo 4.1 foo: $foo
done
echo 5 foo: $foo
exit 0
and its output on my laptop:
0 foo: 0
1.0 foo: 0
1.1 foo: 1search catwhisker.org
1.0 foo: 1search catwhisker.org
1.1 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.12
1.0 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.12
1.1 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.11
1.0 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.11
1.1 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.1
2 foo: 1nameserver 172.16.8.1
3 foo: 2
search catwhisker.org
nameserver 172.16.8.12
nameserver 172.16.8.11
nameserver 172.16.8.1
4.0 foo: 2
4.1 foo: 3search catwhisker.org
4.0 foo: 3search catwhisker.org
4.1 foo: 3nameserver 172.16.8.12
4.0 foo: 3nameserver 172.16.8.12
4.1 foo: 3nameserver 172.16.8.11
4.0 foo: 3nameserver 172.16.8.11
4.1 foo: 3nameserver 172.16.8.1
5 foo: 2
Note that the 2 foo line shows a value read from the last line of
/etc/resolv.conf, while the 5 foo line fails to do so. (In a Solaris
9 environment, the output from each stanza is the same as the output
from teh second stanza in FreeBSD.)
Now here's a copy of the in-development script:
#! /bin/sh
cmd=netstat -nibd -f inet
ctr=0
clist=
hlist=`$cmd | head -1`
for f in $hlist; do
ctr=$(( $ctr + 1 ))
eval c$ctr=\$f\
eval h_$f=c$ctr
done
cmax=$ctr
t_file=`mktemp /tmp/X`
$cmd | tail +2 $t_file
while read $hlist dummy; do
if [ $Name = lo0 ]; then
continue
fi
for f in $hlist; do
eval val=\\$$f\
case $val in
-) eval ${f}_$Name=0;;
*) eval ${f}_$Name=$val;;
esac;
done
nics=$Name $nics;
done/$t_file
rm $t_file
echo (end) NICs: $nics
for n in $nics; do
for f in $hlist; do
eval echo ${f}_$n: \$${f}_$n
done
done
exit 0

As you see, I am circumventing the issue by writing to a transient file.
In the intended application, the script is to be used to gather
resource-utilization information; thus, I want its footprint to be
smaller, rather than larger. Granted, in my case, I would be writing a
tiny text file to a swap-backed tmpfs, but in production, I won't have
the luxury of knowing that in advance: the intent is that the script
must run on a minimal FreeBSD system, with no ports or other 3rd-party
software installed.
Is there some other -- possibly better -- way to do this (using Bourne
shell scripting)?
Thanks!

Hi David,
You are right that feeding data to a looping construct through a pipe
may run in a subshell. The ``Single UNIX Specification'' says
... each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a subshell
environment; as an extension, however, any or all commands in a
pipeline may be executed in the current environment.
You can read the online text of the Single UNIX Specification at:
http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/
A simple 'registration' is required, and you need a browser that
supports cookies. But after that, you can follow the links to the shell
command language page at
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/95399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html
Near section `` 2.12 Shell Execution Environment'' you can find the text
I quoted.
What I usually do in similar shell scripts is something like:
cat ${filename} | sed -n -e '/foo/ s/bar/baz/' | \
xargs -n1 blah
This isn't exactly the same as assigning $foo to the results of the
loop, but you can also use:
foo=`cat $filename | while read bar ; do \
stuff ...
echo $bar
more stuff...

Ah, that's much better. Now I see what you are trying to do. Would you
be ok with an awk(1) script instead of /bin/sh? It tends to be nicer
for this sort of thing, i.e.:
$ expand david.awk | cat -n

2 # Gather the field names if this is a header-line.
3 #
4 $0 ~ /^Name/ {
5 for (k = 1; k = NF; k++)

may run in a subshell. The ``Single UNIX Specification'' says
Ah; thanks for the confirmation.
...
What I usually do in similar shell scripts is something like:
cat ${filename} | sed -n -e '/foo/ s/bar/baz/' | \
xargs -n1 blah
This isn't exactly the same as assigning $foo to the results of the
loop, but you can also use:
foo=`cat $filename | while read bar ; do \
stuff ...
echo $bar
more stuff...
done`
Right; I had seen that type of construct in /etc/rc.d.* (which is where
I often look for samples of shell scripts that need to work reliably).
As you noticed, that won't quite do for what I'm trying to accomplish here.
...
As you see, I am circumventing the issue by writing to a transient
file. In the intended application, the script is to be used to gather
resource-utilization information; thus, I want its footprint to be
smaller, rather than larger. Granted, in my case, I would be writing
a tiny text file to a swap-backed tmpfs, but in production, I won't
have the luxury of knowing that in advance: the intent is that the
script must run on a minimal FreeBSD system, with no ports or other
3rd-party software installed.
Is there some other -- possibly better -- way to do this (using Bourne
shell scripting)?
Ah, that's much better. Now I see what you are trying to do.
:-)
Would you be ok with an awk(1) script instead of /bin/sh? It tends
to be nicer for this sort of thing, i.e.:
Yes, awk(1) would be OK. I'll be more inclined to use it if I can
figure out a way to use it instead of sed(1) for a very different part
of the script. :-}
$ expand david.awk | cat -n
1 #
2 # Gather the field names if this is a header-line.
3 #
4 $0 ~ /^Name/ {
5 for (k = 1; k = NF; k++)
6 tag[k] = $k;
7 }
8
9 #
10 # For all other lines, just print the tagged field values.
11 #
12 $0 !~ /^Name/ {
13 name = $1;
14 for (k = 1; k = NF; k++) {
15 if ($k == -)
16 $k = 0;
17 printf %s_%s: %s\n, tag[k], name, $k;
18 }
19 }
$ netstat -nibd -f inet | awk -f david.awk
Name_re0: re0
Mtu_re0: 1500
Network_re0: 192.168.1.0/2
...
Very cool; thank you very much! I will study that a bit
(I'd normally do this stuff in Perl, but in addition to the other issues
mentioned earlier, the script will be sleeping most of the time, but
wake up spit out results periodically. The usual case will be every 5
minutes, but I plan to make use of it with radically shorter periods in
certain specialized environments -- such as every 5 seconds. And I
still want it to be low overhead. I also note in passing that in its
production environments, the script's standard output will be
redirected to append to a file on a different machine via an SSH tunnel.)
With a bit of preprocessing, it may be possible to extract the network
names and print the (end) NICs: XXX XXX part too.
Right -- much of the output I demonstrated was strictly for debugging/
expository purposes.
Thanks again, Giorgos!
Peace,
david

The xorg.conf settings in the article have only been tested with nvidia, and may need some adjustment for other 3D capable cards. I've been told they don't work with Intel, but will investigate this on my eeePC soon. As for your ATI, a quick search shows that 3D with AIGLX is supported by the open source drivers in X300. I've found several xorg.conf samples, so it is probably a matter of doing a bit of research. If you do find the magic line that makes it work, I would be glad to hear about it and add it to the article. Thanks, Manolis Hi, I have posted a solution which works for my Intel 965G card on the x11 list in June. Here's the link: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=27348+0+archive/2008/freebsd-x11/20080615.freebsd-x11 Hope it helps you in updating your guide, which is a great help for the FreeBSD people.
