Cool...
Exactly that will be the main use...IRC serversi will redirect the
port to one box where i will keep that liedent server...

Sahil,
The problem is that i have few boxes behind a NAT so IRC servers
asking for identd are blocke in the FWand i cant redirect/forward
port 113 to all boxes...i can only to one...so i need an identd that
would fake the response cause the process being asked by the identd
will not be in that box...So if its a common identd it will respond
with ERROR-USER UNKNOWN or sthg similar...

Thanks for sharing,
Agustin

sound card and freebsd v7.0

[jonathan michaels]

greetings, freebsd-questions,

i recently got a handme-down box, some sort of hp desktop machine ? not
sure what it is called, the source was more or less vague about its
name/configuration ??? i put in a freebsd v7 cd and these bit fell out,

after pluging some speakers there was no sound, i suppose ?no driver
attached"  line explains that one ??

sorry for the lack of informations, this is my forst time with freebsd
v7 i had used freebsd v6.2 for the previous 6-7 months and for teh
previous 10 plus years freebsd v2.2.5-7 had looked after all of my
networking requirements pppd/mail/ethernet/x11 desktop/and so on. this
v7 world is completely new (and somewhat foreign) to me.

i do not know what else to provide to help with this ..

apart from teh 
no sound' problem the only other oddity that this machine displays is
some mild confusion about the hard drive.

the drive is a 120 gb hitachi deskstar .. linux (several of teh most
recent distributions, ubuntu/centos/fedora sees it as a 120 gb, as
dose solaris v10/v11 but freebsd calls it a 114 gb drive and no
fiddling with teh geometry altres that outcome (several combinations
make it even less than teh 114 gb .. some come down to 85 gb.  i don't
have a freebsd v6 box anymore to test this drive in, it died, this is
why teh new (to me) box and teh sudden/abrupt move into freebsd v7.

if it helps .. this is teh details

The BSD license -is- a free software license as defined by the FSF.
It is not copyleft like the GPL, but it is satisfies the four essential
freedoms.  RMS agrees.

I think that monowall (or pfsense) do that for you.

Once they've been authenticated, the firewall will allow them to connect out

So, it seems to me that I need to use natd again to do a silent proxy of
traffic from certain IPs on the private net to the server box.  But, since
I'm already using natd, I'm a little perplexed about how to set this up.  Do
I need to run a second instance of natd on a different port, and then update
the firewall rules to divert to one or the other based on the user's
authentication status?  Or can this all be configured in one natd instance?

Re: X server crashes on exit

I should note on my last message, that I specified Linux because some
don't install the proper drivers by default.  With FreeBSD + Xserver
on this box, it was always a habit for me to compile the drivers -- so
I never noticed if I would experience this undesired behavior in *BSD.

No, a 2 minute startup of Xorg is not normal.

What kind of video card?  Do you have the proper drivers for your
video card installed?  I've noticed on several flavors of Linux with
my particular card (nVidia Geforce 8600 or something) that if I do not
have the correct nVidia drivers, exiting X results in a system lockup.

NATD Reverse Proxy

[Tim Gustafson]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a server that will act as a gateway between my wireless
network and the rest of the world.  Here's an overview of the current setup:

1. FreeBSD 7.1
2. isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.5_2
3. natd configured to connect fxp0 (public network, dynamic IP) to fxp1
(private network, static IP)
4. ipfw
5. bind
6. apache 2.2
7. php 5.2.6

Right now, when someone connects to the private net, they get an IP address
and can connect to the Internet no problemo.  So, this is all working so
far.

What I'd like to do next is this:

When someone obtains an IP address, I'm going to configure DHCP to block
that IP using IPFW initially, and I'd like to redirect any requests that
come from that IP to port 80 or 443 to be silently redirected to the local
Apache installation, where the user can enter their login and password.
Once they've been authenticated, the firewall will allow them to connect out
to everywhere else.

FreeBSD and ISCSI, Strange Problem

[Daniel Dias Gonçalves]

I'm with a very strange problem in the FreeBSD 7.0R
I use the iscsi_initiator to mount two devices of a Dell MD3000i, the 
file system is UFS.
The problem occurs when I make a copy of a great directory for inside of 
the /data/email directory, passed some minutes of beginning of copy, the 
SSH connection stops to answer, when trying to open a new connection " 
Password: " it isn't requested, in the console, when typing the user 
"root" e to press enter, " Password: " also it isn't requested. The only 
way to come back is restarting the FreeBSD.


When press CTRL+T during the freeze it is shown:
# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
load: 0.76  cmd: ssh 86930 [sbwait] 0.00u 0.01s 0% 2076k

In another freeze it showed state [ufs]
During freeze, send and receive pings work fine, but no service runing work.

I already verified for some related LOG, however not see nothing related.

Thought so.

> Do you know if there is a way to "reset" the unionfs? I did notice this:

It is called "whiteout". When you delete the file which is on lower layer
in unionfs, you actually create a file of type "whiteout" on the upper layer,
which tells you that the file is not there. So it is a mark for a deleted file.
To "reset" it, you just need to delete the whiteout. You can do this via
"rm -W". Actually whiteouts seem to be a nice solution but sometimes you'll
run into interesting problems. When you try to upgrade jails, for example.
Also, the problem is, because very few programs "support" whiteouts, for
example "find" utility doesn't know about them, so you have to reimplement
it (we made a shell script).

We have created a lot of scripts which can do a lot of stuff with jails and
unionfs on our server. If you are interested, let me know.

sysctl kern.msgbuf changed in 7.0?

[snott]

On my FreeBSD 6 box, "sysctl kern.msgbuf" shows the same content as "dmesg"

But on FreeBSD 7, kern.msgbuf is empty.

Has something changed?

Thanks,

Well, it turns out that my problem was due to a typo in my host systems
rc.conf.

I had duplicated the jail block and used a regex to rename it to the unionfs
jail, but missed the directory...

Right now, I am just testing things, but if it works, I'l use it. It seems a
lot more elegant that other solutions, as long as it actually works. 

Do you know if there is a way to "reset" the unionfs? I did notice this:

fsserver# mkdir dir1 dir2
fsserver# touch dir1/basefile.file
fsserver# mount_unionfs -o below dir1 dir2
fsserver# ls dir2/
basefile.file
fsserver# rm dir2/basefile.file
fsserver# ls dir2
fsserver# umount dir2
fsserver# ls dir1 dir2
dir1:
basefile.file

dir2:
fsserver# mount_unionfs -o below dir1 dir2
fsserver# ls dir1 dir2
dir1:
basefile.file

dir2:
fsserver#

seems useful, but where does it store that info in case you need to make
stuff show up again?

I have the same setup and it works for me.

> Is my mount_unionfs syntax wrong, is this a bug in unionfs (man page says

It shouldn't be wrong. I have this in my fstab:

/jail/base   /jail/spl/nejcspl   unionfs rw,noatime,below 0   0

(noatime option is completely optional, of course.)

But, if I were you, I would update the RELEASE to STABLE. This will also fix
some bugs in unionfs. However at least some other bugs still aren't fixed in 
7-STABLE
to this day (most notably the socket bug, which prevents mysql from running in 
a jail
and writing socket file to /tmp/mysql.sock), so we had to MFC the patch from
HEAD manually. If you need the patch, let me know.

However, I don't suggest running jails on top of unionfs where you need
decent stability (i.e. in production). I am writing thesis at the moment which
also covers this topic. We also stumbled upon these issues:

- socket file bug, mentioned before, still present in 7-STABLE, no ideas
  when it will be MFCed;

- "mv" bug (see freebsd-fs archives for August 2008, me and my friend posted
  a few posts there) which causes troubles when moving directories (files
  would appear as gone and then reappear again) which exist or don't exist
  on lower and upper levels;

- another "mv" bug which I discovered yesterday and seems to be very strange
  and hard to replay - I didn't even mess with the lower level, it seems that
  also just the upper layer can behave strangely sometimes (erros like
  "mv: invalid argument" when simply trying to move a big (>10 GB) directory -
  the error was gone after I restarted the jail (i.e. also remounting the
  unionfs);

- strange behaviour of some applications (apache in my case) not "seeing" the
  lower layer (/etc/hosts most notably) - we had to do "touch" (and then copy
  to all jails on change) on files we _really_ need to be visible. However,
  after we "fscked" our partition with unionfs directories, we weren't able
  to reproduce this error;

- UFS filesystem would get to inconsistent state (we don't know exactly when)
  so some commands would behave strangely and fsck (see above) is needed in
  single user mode;

- _most notably_: there hasn't been a single reply to our unionfs related
  problem reports and posts to freebsd-fs list. So I guess that people who
  are in charge for unionfs in FreeBSD aren't really responsive and that
  the future of unionfs in FreeBSD isn't really bright. It's a pity, though,
  since this is a very useful feature, especially for jailed systems. However,
  hope remains, that things will be fixed at least in 8.0 if not in 7.1.

So, you can see that there are (still) many issues with unionfs on FreeBSD.
Please let me know if you are able to solve your problem. Or else we can make
this list a little longer. :)

HTH,
Nejc

installing 7.0-release from .isos: endless mfi status msgs on console

[Jacob Yocom-Piatt]

am setting up a new fileserver on a poweredge 1950 and installing from 
the freebsd 7.0-release .isos but can't read anything on the console 
since the PERC 5/i or 5/e card(s) are dumping status messages to the 
console non-stop (~1000 lines / minute).


is there any way to disable these status messages so that i can get 
freebsd installed? AFAICT there is nothing broken with the battery on 
either of the PERC 5/i or 5/e cards installed.

As I pointed out to Ross Cameron, you don't have to rewrite BSD licensed
code to release it under the terms of the GPL -- and, in fact, you kinda
made the same point yourself without apparently intending to.  If you
include it as part of a larger package that's GPLed, there's no rewriting
needed.

Ironically, the intent to enforce sharing of code has in this case
prevented sharing code with another open source project such as FreeBSD.

You don't have to rewrite something BSD-licensed to distribute it under
the GPL, though.  Just wrap it in a larger package with a GPL license
over the whole thing, and contribute development effort to the BSD
licensed code if you want it to improve.  That would have been a win for
everyone, as far as I can tell -- rather than trying to enforce sharing
code improvements by rewriting something from scratch and distributing it
under a license that prevents its code from being shared with the BSD
licensed version.

Result of long lines broken. Join line 8 and 9 and also a few lines down, that 
starts with sizeof(char *).

Additionally, found out why CC := ${CC:C,^cc...etc} works and without does 
not. The culprit is that CC is defined as:
CC="${CC} ${LIB32FLAGS}" in Makefile.inc1

Not sure why they don't mangle CFLAGS instead, but there are probably good 
reasons for it.

kern.random.sys.seeded is just a flag that gets set to 1 on each

Re: ccache on amd64

[Brian]

Ok, cracked it. ccache will dump core, if the argument list >255 arguments, 
most likely because the page size is 2048 bytes, but I'm guessing here. What 
happens in x_realloc is that it wants to copy the 2048+8 from the old pointer 
to the new, yet the old pointer is only 2040 bytes big.
I think it goes ok, till 2048, because 2048 is allocated regardless. You won't 
see this on 32-bits, because you don't hit this size as the pointer size is 
only 4 bytes. Most likely, you will hit this bug with argument list >510 
arguments.


The patch inlined below my sig will fix the problem. I'll file a PR so that 
ahze@ can fix it properly. Save it

mount_unionfs for jails

[David Polak]

Using freebsd 7.0-release, I am trying to use unionfs to simplify my jail
setup.

Here is what I am trying to do:

mount_unionfs -o below /usr/jails/basejail /usr/jail/jail1

after I do that I edit /usr/jail/jail1/etc/rc.conf and add the appropriate
entries to the host system rc.conf, but when I start the jail it starts
using the settings from /usr/jails/basejail.

Is my mount_unionfs syntax wrong, is this a bug in unionfs (man page says
unionfs is broken, but doesn't specify how its broken) or is this expected
behavior?

The Walls of Auschwitz

[Jahanshah Rashidian]

The Walls of Auschwitz
A Review of the Chemical Studies by Nicholas Kollerstrom, PhD

In his essay, Dr Nicholas Kollerstrom argues that the alleged massacre of 
Jewish people by gassing during World War II was scientifically impossible.

The distinguished academic was dismissed on April 22, 2008 without any 
explanation and a Holocaust conference held on 16-18 May in Berlin refused his 
article and warned that he would be arrested if he attended the conference and 
presented his essay.

The West punishes people for their scientific research on Holocaust but the 
same western countries allow insults to prophets and religious beliefs…


I. The Leuchter Report, 1988

In February 1988, Fred Leuchter came to the Auschwitz crematoria ruins, with 
his wife and a team, and took 32 samples chiseled out of the wall. His Report 
published in April of 1998 contained five maps as appendices which indicated 
where the samples had been taken from, and in addition a film was made of his 
sampling'. The locations are important, because some of the 'gas chamber' 
locations are postwar-reconstructed, and the obtaining of original brickwork 
was essential for his purpose.

Leuchter in effect tested the hypothesis, as to whether or not certain large 
rooms, designated in the Auschwitz design-plans as either morgues or washrooms, 
had in fact been used for large-scale human cyanide gassing on a daily and 
lethal basis. As America's only professional cyanide-gas execution expert, 
Leuchter was primarily concerned with whether it would have been feasible to 
perform such executions using the designated rooms; this however will not 
concern us here, our concern being solely with the wall samples he took. These 
were analyzed in March 1988 by Alpha Analytical Laboratories Ltd, in ignorance 
of their source.

He managed to take one one sample of a 'Disinfestation Chamber,' by breaking 
and entering a locked building: but prowling guards and snowy blizzards 
prevented further sampling from a second such chamber at camp Majdanek . His 
swiftly-published 'Report' in effect grouped his data into two, that of the 
sample 32 which he called perhaps unfortunately his 'control,' and all the 
others, as the graph shows. The latter came from five 'Crematoria' sites in the 
Auschwitz complex.

Duality of the 'Gas Chamber' concept in Leuchter's Report

The terms that will here be used, that are as far as possible non-judgmental, 
are AHGCs or alleged human gas chambers for what Leuchter called 'Crematoria' 
and DCs or disinfestation chambers for what in the German design-plans were 
called 'gas chambers' (gaskammers). The latter had been used in Germany since 
1924, much as we would ?nowadays use DDT, for killing the flea that carried the 
typhus bacillus.

They were operated using 'Zyklon-B' granules, composed of liquid hydrogen 
cyanide (boiling-point 27° C) that would evaporate over a couple of hours from 
its clay substrate. In the German labor-camps, clothing and bedding were 
repeatedly fumigated in such chambers. Prior to Leuchter's work, pro - 
Holocaust books had not acknowledged such chambers, and had rather carried the 
message of the Nuremberg trials, whereby any use of Zyklon-B was merely 
presumed to have been for human extermination.

After Leuchter, Pressac's magnum opus reproducing design-plans of 
Auschwitz-Birkenau located and described the 'Gaskammer' or DCs . These were 
quite a lot smaller than the AHGCs, and designed by the industrial-chemistry 
firm 'Degesh.' Pressac also observed that their walls tended to be blue: they 
had gradually developed that hue after the War, owing to their saturation with 
iron-cyanide.

Fred Leuchter found one thousand -fold difference in residual cyanide levels 
between these two types of 'gas chamber' - that designated in German 
design-plans as gas chambers but whose existence was ignored at Nuremberg, and 
the much larger rooms alleged to have functioned as gas chambers. Together with 
Pressac's acknowledgement of the DCs, this meant that all future pro-Holocaust 
books had to work with a duality: that the very same cans of ' Zyklon-B' were 
used for two extremely different purposes on the same campsite: for taking 
lives via the extermination procedure, whereby millions died, in the 
extraordinary manner described at Nuremberg, and also for saving them by 
combating the typhus epidemic.
This did not make a great deal of sense and some noted that one could more 
readily have not bothered and just let the typhus epidemic do its work.

There was controversy over the extent to which all of Leuchter's samples had 
indeed been taken from walls of chambers allegedly exposed to the cyanide, 
given that much of the 'gas chambers' are now acknowledged to be 
postwar-reconstructed; as likewise there was disagreement over the extent to 
which exposed walls may have had any cyanide leeched out from them over six 
decades, a theme we return later on with the work of Mr Dan Desjardins.

Bad choice of words on my part. It won't rebuild openssl, if you still 
have /usr/obj/usr/src/* from last time. But it will go through the motions to 
see if stuff needs to be rebuilt. It will only rebuild libssh and anything 
that uses libssh:
# find . -name 'Makefile' -exec grep channels.c {} \+
./secure/lib/libssh/Makefile:   canohost.c channels.c cipher.c cipher-acss.c 
cipher-aes.c \

# find . -name 'Makefile' -exec grep -l 'DPADD.*LIBSSH' {} \+
./lib/libpam/modules/pam_ssh/Makefile
./secure/libexec/sftp-server/Makefile
./secure/libexec/ssh-keysign/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/scp/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/sftp/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-add/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-agent/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-keygen/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-keyscan/Makefile
./secure/usr.sbin/sshd/Makefile

The pam module is the only one outside secure that depends on libssh.

I have no idea what a command would be to stop receipt. Cutting off the
original generation of the emails being spoofed is more to the point.

You may want to look at SPF (openspf.org). If your domain is listed  
with an

spf entry in DNS, you become less tempting as a domain to spoof. Over
time, it will all but cease. Once you've created an SPF DNS record, many
servers receiving mail spoofed for your domain will begin to drop it  
rather

than backscatter emails back to your server.

You should study the information on their site but in a nutshell, you  
create
a TXT record in DNS that lists your servers IP as the only valid  
machine to
send mail for your domain. This tells the others to drop emails from  
other

IPs using your domain. It's relatively effective and painless.

a) You run the relay_host in a jail, don't have inet_interfaces hardcoded to 
the main IP, and postfix sees the jail IP on the local interface (that's the 
tricky one).

or

b) Your /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport is not as correct as you think

Flooded with emails to root -- URGG

Hi

I am running postfix.

Am receiving a flood of  emails that appear to emanate from Servers who have 
received spam that has masqueraded [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the email source. 

Could anyone please suggest the best way of dealing with these. Please bear in 
mind I am not all that familiar with postfix so if anyone feels treating me 
like an idiot and spoonfeeding the actual command s to use I would be most 
appreciative  

I have just installed procmail but not yet activated it. (Incidentally I do 
have a number of virtual domains but the only one that seems to get flooded 
is the primary hostname.

There have also been numerous failed hacking attempts on to the system but as 
they keep trying to get in using services that are not actually running they 
have got nowhere (so far!!)

All those vars are available through sysctl. For an example, look in

I've not found a directory called mailq. /var/mail/root does not exist either.

I've also checked in /var/spool/postfix/* and all directories are
empty or have zero-length files with dates from the installation of
postfix.

And, now I think I've found the problem - in /var/log/maillog, I find
the following:

Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: D92DB1A4C67:

delays=0.11/0.01/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for
loki.mycompany.com loops back to myself)

All I have to do is figure this out, and I think I've got it.

More research...

netstat -i still digs into kernel memory to get those stats, I think,
so you can't directly access those numbers as a regular user.  You can
shell out and parse the output of "netstat -i", or do some snmp queries
to your local net-snmp daemon.  Checking the dev.em.0.stats sysctl node
is another option, and gives you some more hardware status counters
than netstat, but not all drivers support it (em does so you're okay).

Openssh/ssl is distributed accross the source tree. crypto/openssh only 
contains the imported sources, not the files that FreeBSD actually uses to 
build them.
cd /usr/src/secure && make all install should work for you (but will also 
rebuild openssl and sendmail).

Normally the kernel limits this response so the connection is not

Jonathan,

  Submit a patch but rewrite the script as well as include use of
the nc utility.

  It is important that when possible the handbook contain solutions
that are portable to other UNIX variants.  Everything in the handbook
is indexed in search engines and we want people looking for solutions
to be able to use the Handbook, this can help them get interested
in FreeBSD.

Can't build all in /usr/src/crypto/openssh

[Andrew Falanga]

Hi,

I've just updated my sources for 6.2-RELEASE.  It took me from p11 to
p12.  The changes were quite minor.  Only changes were to UPDATING
(obviously), channels.c in the openssh directory and a newvers.sh file
in /usr/src/conf.  So, instead of rebuilding world, since the UPDATING
notes say that the changes only affect sshd, I'm following the
instructions in the handbook for section, "23.4.14.1. Do I need to
re-make the world for every change?."  The instructions state, "... go
to the appropriate sub-directories and make all install."  However,
when I do this I get, "make: don't know how to make all.  Stop."

So, what do I tell it to do?  Especially, considering that the
Makefile.in in this directory (/usr/src/crypto/openssh), appears to
have a default rule of "all."

Andy

Re: Wrong Build Environment

[Martin McCormick]

One of many greatly appreciated suggestions Boris Samorodov wrote:

> % grep  /var/db/pkg/p5-*/+CONTENTS

While looking in that directory, I noticed the good
system had net-snmp-5.2.2_1

The broken system had had the wrong version of net-snmp
earlier in the week but  I remember doing a deinstall which left
no net-snmp distribution at all, possibly the problem.

The broken system is newer and the net-snmp5x port there
is net-snmp5.3x so I installed that. It did lots of things to
perl5.8 but when done, I still had the same problem of wrong
files in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8.

The make all-depends-list output from both systems was
identical.

Finally, more out of frustration than logical procedure,
I got an un-updated port of mrtg whose Makefile was dated in
2007. Next, I went to the broken system and for the
ten-thousandth time, did make deinstall. A ls -l of
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 verified that mrtg-related
files were gone.

I then did rm -r on the mrtg port I had been building
with and un-tar'd the older mrtg port.

make install ran and low and behold, the 5.8 directory
in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl now had the proper list of
files.

I then put back the newer port of mrtg whose Makefile is
dated in June, did a make deinstall and make install cycle and
expected to see the problem again. Instead, the perl library
changes, most likely based upon the installation of the proper
net-snmp package survived and all now appears to be well.

Thanks to everybody who helped. This was one of the most
puzzling UNIX trouble-shooting adventures I have been on in
years.

command line tool to format or display tab-separate-value?

Hello. (to read this email you probably need to have a font that can

I wish to be able to glance over my datasheet in tab-separate-value

Is there a tool to output the "properly formatted" version?

I guess I could easily write one with awk or C, but just in case someone
already wrote such tool...

Ok, cracked it. ccache will dump core, if the argument list >255 arguments, 
most likely because the page size is 2048 bytes, but I'm guessing here. What 
happens in x_realloc is that it wants to copy the 2048+8 from the old pointer 
to the new, yet the old pointer is only 2040 bytes big.
I think it goes ok, till 2048, because 2048 is allocated regardless. You won't 
see this on 32-bits, because you don't hit this size as the pointer size is 
only 4 bytes. Most likely, you will hit this bug with argument list >510 
arguments.

The patch inlined below my sig will fix the problem. I'll file a PR so that 
ahze@ can fix it properly. Save it 
as /usr/ports/devel/ccache/files/patch-args.c and reinstall ccache.

Others have mentioned other tools. One that will do what you want is
graphics/xv 

Fire it up, right click on the splash screen and click "Grab".

xv is also a bit more lightweight than Gimp or ImageMagik.

The answer is simple. The BSD license does not guarantee freedom as
defined by RMS.

 * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
 * The freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to
   your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition.
 * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
   (freedom 2).
 * The freedom to improve the program and release your improvements
   to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3).
   Access to the source code is a precondition.

For example, Microsoft uses many of the TCP applications and drivers
from BSD, but will not allow access to their source code as required by
freedoms 1 and 3.

Not really its quite simple,... much like the *BSD camp prefers all their
tools to be BSD licensed, the GNU camp want all their tools to be GPL
licensed.
They have their reason's for wanting to enforce the sharing of code
improvements.

I personally find that for different projects I prefer to use different OSs
as a base, some are GNU/Linux based and others are *BSD based.
Depends on the client and intended roadmap of the project.

Common practice to handle naming was to use "computer.network.TLD" such as 
"workstation1.freebsd.org" for the internet facing side of your network. 
Internal, if you were not running a split-horizon DNS setup would be to use 
"network.local" or simply "local" for the effect of 
"workstation1.freebsd.local" or "workstation1.local". therefore if for some 
strange reason it ever did get the FQDN outside the local network, nothing 
would be able to resolve it to make it an issue since there is no TLD of .Local 
on the internet but could easily be added to an internal DNS server for 
personal use.

Ok - I can reproduce this, but not even the LIB32_COMPAT libs, but already 
earlier. The core dump shows an error in memcpy(). I'll rebuild ccache with 
debug symbols and see if I can figure this out.

Yes. But not PATH. I'm worried about PATH, not CCACHE_PATH.
From ccache-howto-freebsd.txt:
For Korn/Bourne shells Add the following to /etc/profile:
 export PATH=/usr/local/libexec/ccache:$PATH
 export CCACHE_PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

I never set this bit as I don't want my path globally mangeled and still 
ccache works correctly for ports:

cache directory /var/db/ccache/root

cache miss 62348

Yeah, same here. The only difference is that they look for ccache binary and 
write the CC variable more fancy.

Well, you can use world-cc for ports, like I do:
.if 
(!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*) || 
!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*)) 
&& !defined(NOCCACHE)
CC=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc
CXX=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-c++
.endif

The only things that choke are things configured by devel/scons, tho I have to 
find out why. I have it patched now by echo NOCCACHE=yes 
>cat/offending_port/Makefile.local.

1. Make sure that you really have only one perl version and all
dependent ports use the same version. A simple command may help:
-
% ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5:
total 6
drwxr-xr-x  46 root  wheel  3072 23 sep 19:06 5.8.8
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   512 23 sep 19:06 site_perl

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  512 24 sep 13:53 5.8.8
-
You should get directories only for one perl version. If there are
others than find out which perl dependent ports were not updated.

2. Make sure that you really don't have that file at your system.
Find(1) may help here while locate(1) may have a stale database.

3. Make sure your pkg database doesn't register the meeded file as
installed. The following command may give some info:
-
% grep  /var/db/pkg/p5-*/+CONTENTS
-

4. Compare an output of the command "make all-depends-list" at both
systems for the mrtg port.

5. Not using "make clean" may give one a trouble. Ex., someone
deletted a port by a pkg_delete command but $WRKDIR contains a flag
that this port had been installed -- here is a problem!

6. Examine configure.log file for the mrtg port to find out what this
port is looking for to determine an existance of the needed port. My
customer got a problem after cancelling a port installation at a
middle of the process: header files were installed but libraries
were not and a port was not registered at a pkg database. But those
header files were used by other port's Makefiles to detect if a port
is installed...

They are in not in mailq? How about /var/mail/root then?

Kris, thanks for confirming both GNU cmp and FreeBSD cmp are compatible with 
FreeBSD.

I wish FreeBSD guys can finalize the "Porting BSD-licensed text-processing 
tools from OpenBSD" soon.

Oops, I didn't know GNU restricted the **truely free** cmp and sugar-coated it 
as "Free" :)

It's also ugly (and very old-fashioned) Perl. Starting at (and replacing) the 
require 'sys/socket.ph' line (which is Perl 4, I think), it should look more 
like this (with appropriate error-checking added):

use Socket;
my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
socket(my $socket, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
my $sock_in = sockaddr_in($printer_port, inet_aton($printer_host));
connect($socket, $sock_in);

Although this rewrite removes the need, if you want in general to ignore some 
of the return values of a function returning a list, the usual way is to 
assign to undef:

(undef, undef, undef, undef, $address) = gethostbyname($printer_host);

Although when you're throwing away that many, it makes more sense to index the 
returned list in the same way you would index an array:

$address = (gethostbyname($printer_host))[4] # returns 5th element

I really should submit a doc patch for this (incorporating Dan's sterling 
suggestion of nc $1 $2).

Both simply are compatible with FreeBSD.

I was wondering why FreeBSD wrote their own version of cmp. If it just the license, then that's fine. I prefer the BSD versions of diff, etc. when available. 


You are asking the wrong questions: why did GNU write their own version 
of cmp?  FreeBSD's dates to 1987.

Re: Syslogd - Different Files

[Laurence Mayer]

This sends the logs of local and remote machines to both the 
/var/log/message AND TO /var/log/remote.


So it actually duplicates /var/log/messages.

Does this work in your environment?

Can you clarify the -a IP1/mask1 etc?

Thanks
