Okay, that makes sense.  Thanks.

If anyone has more information about planned BSD Unix ports to Raspberry

someone would let me know (perhaps with URIs or contact information for
people and projects working on this).



There was a discussion about it over on hackers@ last November. The 
thread starts at


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2011-November/036742.html

TL;DR summary: some are wildly in favour of it, others are completely 
negative. I.e. the usual network response to anything :-}


Unless someone capable and willing to do the port managed to get one of 
the first production batch, the next lot won't be available for 7-8 
weeks at the earliest. My order is currently expected to be delivered 
the second week in May.

I guess you're trying to install something to do with X.org, as
ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk is only listed under MASTER_SITE_XORG.

It seems that server may be down -- for the time being at least --
however, there are several other mirrors around the world that the ports
could use instead.  For most 'site down' type errors, if you just wait
patiently, the ports should eventually try the next server in sequence.
 However, if that doesn't work, you could try adding[*]

MASTER_SORT=.uk
RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES= yes

to /etc/make.conf -- this should cause the ports to try and download
from a different server initially.  The '.uk. MASTER_SORT probably won't
help very much here, as although ftp.mirrorservice.org is on the
MASTER_SITE_XORG list, as you can see, it doesn't have '.uk' in its URL.
 The obvious substitution to get mirrorservice.org to sort first is left
as an exercise...

Cheers,

Matthew

   Subject: Still having trouble w= ith package upgrades
   I still have yet to find a resolution to= the problems I have had
   with
   binary packages and upgrades on FreeBSD= . Binary upgrading is
   broken with
   every tool I have tried.
   = 
   There is no real reason why FreeBSD should not provide a facility fo   r 
users
   to be able to binary upgrade to the most recent version of al= l
   packages
   with a simple upgrade command.
   
   One faulty arg= ument I heard was that it is often not a good idea to
   upgrade
   to new = software release. The whole purpose of having a release cycle
   for
   pro= grams is to provide stable, tested releases for the public to
   install
   that will will work properly, and improve upon and fix problems with
   older= 
   releases. This is why mainline release are differentiated from betas   and
   the CVS downloads which are experimental. So you really do want = the
   most
   recent release, especially for corrections to any security p= roblem.
   Making
   upgrades more difficult actually makes the system more= insecure by
   exposing
   people for a long time to security problems tha= t were fixed in
   software but
   making it difficult for people to upgrad= e.
   
   
   As for the security issues of downloading binary pac= kages. The fact
   is
   source packages are not safer than binary packages= , more on that in
   a bit.
   I am astonished that people here would not r= ealise the obvious,
   having safe
   binary installs is do-able from mirro= r sites, just have the
   package
   management software download MD5s from= many mirror sites, compare
   them and
   test the downloaded package, is = they are off, then the package will
   not be
   installed the user will be= prompted to allow a notification of the
   problem
   to be sent to the Fr= eeBSD administrators. The fact is, binary
   releases are
   no more danger= ous than source releases, someone could just as easily
   insert
   bad cod= e in a source code package on a mirror, you need automated
   MD5
   checki= ng anyway, for both binary or source upgrades. So the idea
   that
   sourc= e upgrades are safer is false, just dead wrong.
   
   As for compile= options, the solution is simple, compile in all
   feature
   options and = the most commonly used settings into the binary
   packages, for
   the sta= ndard i386 CPU. If people want customisations then they can
   build
   the= software for themselves.
   
   A good software philosophy is to all= ow software to work out of the
   box with
   as little configuration as po= ssible, but allow everything to be
   configured
   by the user if they wan= t, by shipping software with reasonable
   defaults
   which can be overrid= den by the user. Make simple things easy and
   complicated things doabl= e. In GUI, by default, complexity can be
   hidden
   from users, but if pe= ople want fine grain control, they should be
   free to
   use advanced scr= eens of the GUI to get complex, fine grained
   control. In
   GUI design, = more commonly used settings can be provided more upfront
   while
   advanc= ed features for use by experts can be placed deeper in
   advanced or
   ex= pert screens oft the GUI. Everything should be able to be
   configured or
<= br>accomplished by both GUI and CLI and API.
   
   A good user frien= dly model for a useable OS is to allow for binary

   of the ent= ire system to be upgraded with a single upgrade command.
   It

Capturing Information About PANIC

2012-03-08 Thread Dean E. Weimer
I am having problems with my system panicking and crashing during 
Bacula backups.  Is there any way short of enabling full memory dumps to 
log the output of the crash?  After a reboot there is no information in 
the messages log, and dmesg generally only shows the information since 
the reboot started.


The system is running FreeBSD9.0-RELEASE compiled from source, I had it 
running bacula backups for close to 2 weeks without a problem, but now 
it consistently crashes every night.  The system is running the client 
directory and storage daemon, oddly enough it never crashes when backing 
up itself, but instead crashes when backing up one of the two remote 
systems.  I was beginning to think that perhaps my recompile using clang 
was the problem, so I rebuilt the world and all ports without clang but 
the problem persists.


I have tested my external eSATA drive on another system, and 
temporarily connected the drive to the internal SATA ports to rule out 
the eSATA controller and the backup drive as the source of the problems. 
This is the only drive in the system that is setup with GEOM_ELI 
encryption, so I can't rule out that the encryption process is causing a 
load that the motherboard/CPU/RAM is failing to cope with for hardware 
reasons.  Though this system shouldn't have a problem keeping up.

question about SMTP-authentication

2012-03-08 Thread kamolpat

To whom it may concern:

Hello, may I need your help about SMTP authentication?

Problems:
=
SMTP-authen  doesn't functioning, when I use ThunderBird I try to set 
authentication method as Kerberos/GSSAPI or Encrypted password, it 
doesn't work.


Background:
===
I'm intermediate FreeBSD sysadmin. I used to run only normal mail 
service in my company, which use POP3 on myserver and SMTP from ISP. Now 
my ISP always get problem, so I prefer to set SMTP service on my server 
and provide to staffs in company. However to set pure SMTP is not safe, 
then I prefer to use SMTP-authenicate.


Setup Reference
==
1. I read the how to setup from  FreeBSD Handbook (online)-> Chapter 29 
Electronic Mail -> 29.10 SMTP Authentication  from freebsd.org

2. setup for cyrus-sasl2 was fine (setup via usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2)
3. setup for openssl was 90% fine (setup via port) reference to FreeBSD 
Handbook (online)->Chapter 15 Security -> 15.8 OpenSSL
accept the "STARTTLS" line doesn't appear  as mention on the last 
part of article.

Mouse disconnecting and reconnecting ...

2012-03-08 Thread David Walker
Hey.

I've recently installed 9.0 amd64 and X11 and Gnome.

Here is my rc.conf mouse stuff:

moused_nondefault_enable="NO"

Originally I'd bump the mouse and see it "doing stuff" on the console
and although it's a common mouse (a few weeks old) apparently it's
regarded as a "non-default" mouse.

I notice on the console (ttyv0) the following message repeated over
and over (say once a minute or so):

ugen4.2:  at usbus4 (disconnected)
ums0: at uhub4, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected)
ugen4.2:  at usbus4
ums0:  on usbus4
ums0: 3 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=0

I don't use mouse on the console so no problem.

Anyway, when I use Gnome, if I hover over something that can be
clicked or selected ... it will be clicked or selected without me
presing the left mouse button - this happens consistently and takes a
few seconds.
I'm not sure if those two things are connected (the message on the
console and the automatic mouse in Gnome) but I'm interested in
finding out.

dmesg follows.

Best wishes.

Did you rebuild sendmail with the right flags so that it would enable
all the SASL bits?  Apart from that you seem to have done all the right
stuff that I can see.

You need to add this to /etc/make.conf:

SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2

and then rebuild sendmail -- assuming you have system sources installed:

# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make clean
# make
# make install

If you haven't got the system sources installed, then you can get them
easily enough with csup(1) or freebsd-update(8) or several other ways.
Or you could just install sendmail from ports -- obviously, make sure to
choose the option to enable SASL in the config dialogue.  If you use the
ports sendmail, so long as you set up mailer.conf(5) to point to the
ports version -- like so:

lucid-nonsense:/etc/mail:% cat mailer.conf
# $FreeBSD: stable/8/etc/mail/mailer.conf 93858 2002-04-05 04:25:14Z
gshapiro $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases  /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
hoststat/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
purgestat   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

and put the following in /etc/make.conf so it uses the latest
configuration file bits:

SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf
MAKEMAP=/usr/local/sbin/makemap

then the ports sendmail is pretty much a drop-in replacement for the
system one, and you can use all the config bits in /etc/mail in exactly
the same way as normal.

Cheers,

Matthew

The complaints seemed to center around a lack of docs, but I don't
think this is still relevant.   The fact that several Linux variants
are ported suggests plenty of available doc.  Also, there is a detailed
doc on the Broadcom chip on the RP website.

Now, if we could just actuall GET the silly things it would be nice :)

You can enable all.log in syslog.conf (follow the instructions there); 
this will provide verbose logging of everything at all levels.

libc regex word-boundary support fallen-off?

2012-03-08 Thread RW

I've noticed for some time that claws-mail and less (which I think use
libc's regex(3)) don't support word boundaries in searches. I might be
delusional, but I think I've used \b in the past in both of those
applications in FreeBSD.  

According to regex(3) it's an implementation POSIX.2, so the feature
needn't be supported, but at the bottom of the page it says
"word-boundary matching is a bit of a kludge", so presumably it has
been.

Does anyone know what's going on?


I switched from i386 to amd64 last year so it might be something to do
with that. I'm currently using 8.2p6.

realpath(3): a curiosity question

2012-03-08 Thread Conrad J. Sabatier
I'm just wondering if anyone knows the rationale behind the differing
return codes from realpath() for non-existent paths, depending on
whether the non-existent element of a path is at the end of the
path or if it occurs somewhere further up the chain.

Not asking that it be changed, mind you.  Just wondering why it was
decided to distinguish between these two cases.  From the programmer's
perspective, this is something of a minor annoyance, as running a
non-existent path through realpath() may or may not return NULL, and
therefore still requires additional code to further validate the path
returned in the non-NULL case.

Granted, the stated purpose of this function is not to verify a path's
existence, but nonetheless, having a function that might be called
non-deterministic in the results it returns just seems, well, *bad* to
me (for lack of a better word at the moment).

Does anyone have any idea what the reasoning is behind this design?

imap server performance benchmarks

2012-03-08 Thread Da Rock
I'm reconsidering my current setup (postfix/courier) for imap and I was 
doing some research on performance comparisons between imap server 
setups. I stumbled on this article just just about fell of my chair 
laughing when I read the last article on future benchmarking tests to 
perform:


research.microsoft.com/pubs/138302/lisa.pdf

Considering I have close to a hundred folders or more, and an average of 
50,000 emails in each (yes, not good, and I am working on archiving but 
it won't help _that_ much) with nearly 200,000 in just one! I got a real 
kick out of the comment that "no sane email user would have more than 
21,000 emails in a folder" - that would make me certifiable :D Oh, and 
that most email wouldn't be more than a GB or so... mine's edging 6GB 
already...


So, all jokes aside, I contemplated that I would make an ideal test case 
to the extreme for benchmarking imap servers. Anyone have any 
suggestions on what to test/how? Anyone have some tools they have 
created for a similar challenge? I have my own ideas, but if anyone 
wants me to try something I'd be willing to give it a shot.


If anyone has a better idea on which list this should be posted to as 
well - I considered the lists available (I'm hooked up to most) and

No IMAP test is as vicious or as thorough as a real life company 
deciding to change its mail client from one day to the next and counting 
on IMAP to automagically restore local archives. If the company more or 
less uses IMAP folder as a share drives it is even better.
It happened to me once. Postfix/Dovecot did handle the change quite 
well, yet some mailboxes took days before the local copy was in sync 
with IMAP folders.
There was about 200GB of mail to download (35 users company) the load 
average was under 0.25 all the time on an i5 dual core with 8GB of ram.


Duplicating a mailbox X times and having X clients doing a local copy of 
the entire mailbox sounds like a good first test, with mailbox size and 
number X on par with what you expect to find on your network.

to the extreme for benchmarking imap servers. Anyone have any suggestions
on what to test/how? Anyone have some tools they have created for a
similar challenge? I have my own ideas, but if anyone wants me to try
something I'd be willing to give it a shot.


--As for the rest, it is mine.

No idea, but as someone who recently had to trim one of his mail folders 
(same setup) as it was having trouble with over 210,000 messages, I'd be 
interested in your results.  ;)

Had an old Micro Soft USB mouse that would simply
cease working after an indeterminate amount of time
(15 seconds to 40 minutes).  Unplugging & re-plugging
made it come back.  Eventually I mashed it with a
hammer, which made me feel immensely better.

Also recently bought a wireless USB mouse that
worked exactly once.

I don't know about anyone else's experience, but USB
mouses seem to be pretty hit&miss.  I blame george w.

The only way I have found to do it is [[:<:]] and [[:>:]].  That is very
awkward, so I't love to hear of a shorter way.  I found them in the
re_format(7) manpage.

Suggestion

2012-03-08 Thread Bruno Comerci

Hi guys.


Instead of wasting your time and man power, why wont you join to the ReactOS 
project?
It would be more beneficial to the internet community and to the users around 
the world who wants a free OS with similar looking and functions than Windows, 
if you just throw away your FreeBSD and join forces with the ReactOS team to 
accelerate their process.

Actually there isnt any single free OS that can be fully trusted, but ReactOS 
seems to be that one that we all are wating for.


Sincerely,
Common world's citizen who dont have money to pay Windows and dont trust Linux 
and any other Unix-based OS.

I agree.  I've had a bit too much to drink myself. *hic*

Isn't it illegal to emulate windows OS? I trust FreeBSD by now, though
ReactOS is worth researching.
