It's Sendmail's brother:-) At least Postfix is fully RFC compliant, as opposed to Exim. SEE: RFC 2034 (SMTP enhanced status codes), RFC 3461-4 (delivery status notifications), RFC 1652 (8-bit MIME including 8-7bit conversion) among others.

Re: system hangs on; Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...
Any ideas anyone ? I'm stuck. Cannot install FreeBSD on my computer. Every other OS besides FreeBSD boots up and installs. What else can I check? I offered my admittedly cumbersome force-fitting suggestion. Maybe start with a minimal installation, possibly base and etc only, or as little as possible to get something to start with. If this can be booted, then continue with sysinstall from the hard drive with the downloaded FreeBSD sets on CD or an msdos/vfat partition. But then if you can untar the base and etc sets in accordance with the sysinstall scripts, the same could be done with the other installation sets. Possibly, booting a live-file-system FreeBSD CD, you could have the installation CD image on an msdos/vfat partition, and mdconfig and mount that. You could bsdlabel, newfs, and hopefully be able to proceed from there. I wonder if FreeBSD is the only OS with Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)... Nothing like this occurs in NetBSD or Linux; I've also installed various DOSes (MS-DOS 4.01 and upgrade to 5; DR-DOS 7.03 and FreeDOS; OS/2 1.3 through (Warp) 4) although MS-DOS 4.01 (back in 1990) and OS/2 had their own problems.

Strange filesystem problems
Hello. I'm experiencing a strange problem on a 7.2p8/i386 box. This is not critical, since I have a workaround, but it's annoying and I'm also curious :-) Let's say I have directory foo; under foo I have bar which keeps thousands of files (in several subdirectories). I do: %cd /xyzzy/foo %pwd xyzzy/foo %rm -fR bar %pwd pwd: .: Permission denied %cd .. %cd foo %pwd xyzzy/foo This is a local UFS filesystem, so it shouldn't be a network problem; no error shows up in the logs; in bar I don't have any symlink or special node, only plain files and directories.

Do you have another one-liner that will reproduce it? A simple
/usr/bin/getent group doesn't return dupes for me. Oddly enough, the
*grent code doesn't use an internal counter, so the bug you found in
endpwent doesn't exist in endgrent (afaik; the nsswitch code isn't that
easy to read).
Not really a one-liner:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'setgrent; my %dupchk; while( my ( $name, $grpass,
$gid, $members ) = getgrent() ) { print $name is returned more than once
(No $dupchk{$name} comes here)\n if( $dupchk{$name}++ ); print Dumper( [
$name, $grpass, $gid, $members ] ) };'
setgrent() doesn't work here.
I ran that and got dupes for group entries that exist both in /etc/groups and
my LDAP source, but that's expected.
You can see here
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f5100ac6-9418-11df-9ebc-c4a68065c34d
the typical error picture. FreeBSD is the only system, where this error
occurs.
I rate it as a bug - but I will write merge code for the duplicated entries.

Any hint?
You got any output from wpa_supplicant and console?
You could check this NDISulator code:
http;//gitorious.org/NDISulator
I did some work on new state switching on net80211 layer, so if
connection get lost for any reason it will try to reassociate (code on
HEAD fails badly in this scenario almost always).
I also did support for wep and wpa(2) via bsd driver (you can still
use ndis driver - I'm talking about wpa_supplicant _drivers_) but I
did not tested it much.
You should also run ndis_events(8) so that events from ndis driver are
passed to wpa_supplicant(8).
What version of driver are you using? Newest ones (=5.1 API) I tested
exibit at least one bug in NDISuator which I did not resolved yet.

Bash logging: two questions
Hello, I would like to run a bash script but to log output and exit codes. Essentially I would like to run the script with bash -x, but for that output to the log to go to a file, and the normal output as from running a normal script to go to the terminal. That's my first question :) My second question is about history. Bash has a -h option to remember the location of commands as they are looked up. Is it possible for this to be recorded in the history? e.g. if I run ls, it would record /bin/ls to the bash history file. Many thanks.

They are a mixture of exim, postfix, qmail, and sendmail, and quite often are in a poor state when we first get our hands on them. I have to say when you are getting mail routing issues exim is by the far the easiest to debug mainly due to the -bt option. When you combine it with the debug flag it produced a very detailed output on the mail routing. I have never found such a feature in all the other MTA's above.

Do you have another one-liner that will reproduce it? A simple
/usr/bin/getent group doesn't return dupes for me. Oddly enough, the
*grent code doesn't use an internal counter, so the bug you found in
endpwent doesn't exist in endgrent (afaik; the nsswitch code isn't that
easy to read).
Not really a one-liner:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'setgrent; my %dupchk; while( my ( $name,
$grpass, $gid, $members ) = getgrent() ) { print $name is returned
more than once (No $dupchk{$name} comes here)\n if( $dupchk{$name}++
); print Dumper( [ $name, $grpass, $gid, $members ] ) };'
setgrent() doesn't work here.
I ran that and got dupes for group entries that exist both in /etc/groups
and
my LDAP source, but that's expected.
You can see here
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f5100ac6-9418-11df-9ebc-c4a68065c34d
the typical error picture. FreeBSD is the only system, where this error
occurs.
I don't know how to read perl's test output; what part of that report
failed, and how do you know it was due to getgrent returning duplicate
values?
BTW - I ran your one-liner above on a SLES 10.2 Linux box and a Solaris 10u7
box, and got duplicate entries where groups existed in both /etc/groups and
LDAP, just like on FreeBSD. I think you may be relying on behaviour that
getgrent doesn't guarantee on any OS.

This is not critical, since I have a workaround, but it's annoying and I'm also curious :-) Let's say I have directory foo; under foo I have bar which keeps thousands of files (in several subdirectories). I do: %cd /xyzzy/foo %pwd xyzzy/foo %rm -fR bar %pwd pwd: .: Permission denied %cd .. %cd foo %pwd xyzzy/foo This is a local UFS filesystem, so it shouldn't be a network problem; no error shows up in the logs; in bar I don't have any symlink or special node, only plain files and directories. What should I check? I note that /bin/[t]csh uses the external /bin/pwd whereas /bin/sh has it as a builtin. I know (virtu- ally) nothing about bash nor zsh. I would, in any case, suspect the shell, and try at least one other variation.

Zfs was left out because its over kill. Sparse image jails gives the same protection at a 10th of the overhead. You didn't factor in slowness due to having a file-backed filesystem. While probably pretty low, it's definitely there and not good in an io heavy jail. Also, the host will have to mount a UFS based FS, and cache it so you're going to have increased memory usage. Ideal setup for an io intensive jaill(eg database) is to be bound to compressed ZFS file-system, not a sparse image located on such a setup. I'm not sure what overhead you're referring too. If it's hard to tie into your application, you are probably correct, but from a host perspective you are increasing overhead. There are advantages to sparse or raw file as well, it would be nice to have a choice. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Since the IP address assigned to the jail is the only one the jail is seeing, Apache will only bind to that IP address. So you can have as many jails running Apache on port 80 as you like, because they only will bind to the IP address belonging to the jail. The only 'challenge' will be configuring Apache on the host itself to only listen to one IP address, instead of *, which is piece of cake.

remote syslog program specification question
Hi, I've set up remote syslog, and want to have a program specification that will send some messages to the remote server. Right now, I've got the usual 'send everything to the loghost' in syslog.conf: *.*@loghost and what I want to do is: send everything from any facility.level to the loghost EXCEPT things from $program that's level .info or lower. (so anything that's from $program.notice or higher goes to the log server. This is probably blindingly obvious, but I'm too sober to figure it out.

Is software update in a working state yet?
I've noticed software update pop up on the screen quite a bit lately. Initially it popped up and did nothing. Now in 8.1-RC2 it pops up and shows me that I actually have updates. When I click update, it seems like it's actually attempting to upgrade the listed packages, but the entire process always ends with command 'update-packages' is not known.
