What do es "since installing FreeBSD 8.0" mean here? Why did you install
FreeBSD 8.0?? What were you running before?

You must also show us the server logs showing the timeouts. Please enable
debug logging on vm-pop3d if possible.

I hope you do realize that in this forum, we mostly handle questions about
FreeBSD and not those related to the daily running of apps (like vm-pop3d).
so you'll bear with us since some of us run other pop3/imap4 servers
different than vm-pop3d.

Or am I?

Once I found the `ping' worked on a rarely-used remote server, 
I cp'd Robert's nslookup line and got:


round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 82.973/84.510/85.005/0.773 ms
vhost %  nslookup -type=any thought.org

Non-authoritative answer:
thought.org nameserver = ns1.thought.org.
thought.org nameserver = ns2.everydns.net.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
thought.org nameserver = ns1.thought.org.

ns1.thought.org internet address = 209.180.213.209
ns2.everydns.netinternet address = 208.76.62.100

vhost % 


What is left?

If I knew how to fix this I would.  The only IP that is
pingable is 209.180.213.209; this is "cd0" of my WAN on my 
pfSense computer.  I changed ns1.thought.org to the prev IP
on my registrar and a few minutes ago edited my
master/thought.org.*files.   If this doesn't work in a few days,
let me know.  

I loggged into my only outside account on a server in the
SouthEast, I  pinged ns1.thought.org, and it echoed the above
IP.

You're overlooking the fact that ns2.everydns.net refuses to respond to 
queries about thought.org, though it is happy to respond to queries 
about everydns.net.  When half the servers for your zone refuse to 
answer, things work less than 100%.  On the other hand, I don't think 
things are completely broken.  Actually they're less broken than Gary's 
DNS frequently is; it gets discussed on a regular basis for a reason.


So is the last octet of ns1.thought.org's address 209 or 210?  ;-)

portsclean -CDD oddness

[Jimmie James]

After doing a portupgrade, I've always run portsclean -CDD
[for reference]
-C Clean out all the working directories of the ports tree. (cf. 
WRKDIRPREFIX)
-D Clean out all the distfiles that are not referenced by any port in 
the ports tree.  Specified twice (i.e.  -DD), clean out all the 
distfiles that are not referenced by any port that is currently 
installed. (cf.  DISTDIR)


This time, fresh csup and a few ports updated, it wiped out EVERY 
distfile for reasons I don't understand. Anyone have a clue as to why, 
or what the frak is going on?


Now I know it's not a huge deal, unless there's a bug somewhere, 
nothing's changed in my /etc/make.conf or my pkgtools.conf in... about 6 
months.

Good choice - here on a long-running regular workstation.



> However, this does not seem to be enough to get X working.

Three steps:
1. Get X (itself) working
2. Install WindowMaker and its dependencies
3. Make your user account a .xinitrc or .xsession
   (depends on if you use xdm or startx command)

See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html

Example for ~/.xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $
[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
xrandr --fb 1400x1050
xrandr --size 1400x1050
xsetroot -solid rgb:3b/4c/7a
xset b 100 1000 15 &
xset r rate 250 30 &
xset s off &
xset -dpms &
exec wmaker

The last line will "transfer control" to the WindowMaker program.

Then, configure WindowMaker to your needs.

Any dependencies should be recursively by portmaster (as it does
per portmanager, port's make install, and even pkg_add -r).

Douglas Adams believes the answer to be "42", but I don't vouch for the

This has been discussed before here are some excerpts:

- Some have said it's the same as Linux : ECCN# is 5D002.

- If the ECCN for the computer hardware won't suffice, then use NLR in block 27
of the Shipper's Export Declaration, and use EAR99 in block 28.

Here are some of the references:

From what I can find, it itself does not have one.  The encryption 
software within does and that would depend on the administrator which 
encryption method is used.  By default it uses MD5 which I understand 
does not need an ECCN.  I definitely can be wrong.

Not really, as Mr. Mahol has pointed out, NDISulator is not working in a 64
Bit environment (which I am  am using) and I can't mix 32bit and 64bit
drivers. So it's great that it's working for you and I am glad it does (and
continues to) I still need to get it working in a 64bit environment. I tried
installed FreeBSD32 by mistake and it refused to boot, so I am limited to
the 64bit version. Does ndiswrapper work in FreeBSD? I couldn't find any
documentation for it. I do remember using it in linux but I don't remember
what I did, so I am basically starting all over again.

You don't need to fill either one in.  The optional label will show up just
above the interface name in the display, and entering a command string turns
the interface name into a button you can click to launch that command.

If you right-click on one of the charts, you can change the scale, and the
drawing style for TX/RX data.

Just check the "Enable lo0" checkbox in the config tab for the lo0
interface, in the Builtins->Net category.

FreeBSD - POP3 timeouts

[Grant Peel]

Hello all,

I have serveral servers setup with FreeBSD 8.0.

Each of these servers are running vm-pop3d, which has worked well for many 
years now.


Since installing FreeBSD 8.0, the number of timeouts on port 110 have 
skyrocketed on all the servers.


Some clients connecting (checking thier email) 200 times a day, may be 
seeing as many as 50 timeouts.


Is there any tuning somewhere I have missed?

Each server has about 200 domains on it, and each domain has an average of 5 
pop accounts.


-Grant

I think this little gadget is neat!  Not much on the network
section, tho.  The Config window/dialog has a space to type in
a  string for "Net" ...   I have "NIC" for the "Optional label";
what command string should I enter below?

I did some googleing (is that even spelled right?) on this over the last few
days and I saw posts about NDISulator being broken, but it wasn't in
reference to AMD64. In fact the archived e-mail I read referenced FreeBSD5.x
and I assumed 32-bit given the version number, I was also left w/ the
assumption that NDISulator was new w/ that release of FreeBSD.

Can anyone else shed some light on this subject (even enough light for a
solution :D)

NDISulator support for amd64 is currently broken.
You can try http://gitorious.org/NDISulator but note that amd64 does
not work for me too.

'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'

[Chris Brennan]

I figured the general users list was a good place to start. I'm somewhat new
to FreeBSD still, I have one fbsd7.3 home server and it serves it's purposes
quite nicely. I decided to installed FreeBSD64 on my laptop. For the most
part, things went very well. I got X/Gnome/OOo3 (for school) installed and
am trucking along quite nicely. My Hiccup as the subject suggests is about
my Wireless Card. I have been following the handbook (
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/config-network-setup.html) on how to use
64-bit Windows drivers coupled w/ ndisgen to get my wireless card working. I
got ndisgen to generate a kernel module but it immediately caused my laptop
to reboot when the kernel was loaded. This left me scratching my head. I
think I might need firmware (I remember having to extract firmware from the
driver for linux).

pciconf shows the following:

[r...@blackdragon [~]# pciconf -lv | grep -A3 0x4315
no...@pci0:8:0:0:   class=0x028000 card=0x137c103c chip=0x431514e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
class  = network
[r...@blackdragon [~]#

The laptop is an HP dv2845SE and it's running FreebSD64-8.1. Let me know if
I missed anything.

Did you know...

OT: apache+ssl question _off-list_

Would any folks with experience in Apache/SSL be willing to
help with a (probably novice) problem off-list?
(My search-fu is inferior: I've found the problem mentioned,

For Xorg all I did was pkg_add -r xorg and Im using Awesome WM, very 
lightweight and quick.. But its not your typical WM.. Its a tiling WM, you 
cant resize your windows.. really.. you organize your desktop window by 
clicking in the right hand corner of the desktop.. This WM has grown on 
me... give it a shot.  The purpose of it, i guess, is to elimiate wasting 
your time resizing your windows..

Building windowmaker should be enough.

However, do you really need to run the X server on your server machine?
Usually, what I do is just run the applications on the server, and
display them on another machine.  ssh makes this easy and secure.

Even WM is heavy compared to Blackbox ! I use Gnome in FBSD via binary
install out of laziness. Maybe blackbox binary install will solve your
problem quickly or portmaster blackbox may get it working as well.
Just speculation though since I've never used blackbox in FBSD but the
port is there and blackbox really rules when it come to light and
flexible WM.

Best,

Starting with the obvious, did you create a sogo userID with adduser(8)?
You want to give it nologin as a shell. It will also want a group.

rc startup script - daemon: failed to set user environment

[Valentin Bud]

Hello community,

 I am trying to build a startup script for an application built from source
code. The application name is SOGo (sogo.nu).

I will attach the rc  script and the error I receive when I run it.

#!/bin/sh
#
#
# PROVIDE: sogod
# REQUIRE: memcached
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable sogod:
#
# sogod_enable (bool):  Set it to "YES" to enable sogod.
#   Default is "NO"
#
#

. /etc/rc.subr

name="sogod"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

load_rc_config ${name}

: ${sogod_enable="NO"}
: ${sogod_user="sogo"}
: ${sogod_workers="-WOWorkersCount 1"}
: ${sogod_command="/usr/local/GNUstep/Local/Tools/Admin/sogod"}
: ${sogod_logfile="/var/log/sogo/sogo.log"}

pidfile="/var/run/sogo/sogo.pid"
command="/usr/sbin/daemon"
command_args="-f -p ${pidfile} -u ${sogod_user} ${sogod_command}
${sogod_workers} -WOPidFile ${pidfile} -WOLogFile ${sogod_logfile}"

start_precmd="${name}_prestart"

sogod_prestart() {
if [ ! -d `dirname ${pidfile}` ]; then
mkdir `dirname ${pidfile}` >/dev/null 2>&1 && chown
${sogod_user} `dirname ${pidfile}`
fi
if [ ! -d `dirname ${sogod_logfile}` ]; then
mkdir `dirname ${sogod_logfile}` >/dev/null 2>&1
touch ${sogod_logfile} && chown ${sogod_user}
${sogod_logfile}
fi
if [ -z ${GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT} ]; then
. /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
fi
}

run_rc_command "$1"

 The sogo daemon requires memcached running to start and the
file ${sogod_logfile}
to be readable by ${sogod_user}. I also requires the
directory /var/run/sogo/ to be read/write
by ${sogod_user} so it can write the PID file. The GNUstep.sh makefile must
be loaded
so it can run properly.

 The other command_args are the startup arguments sogod takes.

memcached is already started:
sogo# sockstat | grep memcached
nobody   memcached  71167 16 tcp4   172.31.32.6:11211 *:*
nobody   memcached  71167 17 udp4   172.31.32.6:11211 *:*

sogod is enabled is /etc/rc.conf
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sogod rcvar
# sogod
#
sogod_enable="YES"
#   (default: "")

This is the error I receive when I try to start sogod
sogo# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sogod start
Starting sogod.
daemon: failed to set user environment
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sogod: WARNING: failed to start sogod

 This is the first rc script I write. What can I do to debug the problem
further?

Thank you and have a great day,
v
