About suidperl in FreeBSD
Hi, I'm using 8.2-RELEASE I need suidperl for openwebmail. I include ENABLE_SUIDPERL=true in /etc/make.conf and compile with make -DENABLE_SUIDPERL"TRUE" install clean Even so there is no /usr/bin/suidperl anywhere. Any advise? I'm missing something?

I compiled 5.10 and now I have /usr/local/bin/suidpperl. The big problem is: everything I compiled depending on perl is linked against 5.12 and some apps are broken (spamassassin, for example). How could I find every port that depends on 5.12 and recompile with 5.10? thanks Alberto Mijares ___ 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"
HRL in FreeBSD Stable
Hi list, Where can I see if resource limits for jails is included in FBSD 8 STABLE or any plan to include it in 8.3? It'd be great if you don't need to apply the patch[1] manually [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2009-May/000866.html Thanks in advance.

GPIO in 9.1-RELEASE
I'm moving this thread from hardware@, I think this ain't the rigth list, is it? Hi list, I have a net4801 Soekris board. It has 12-pin GPIO interface. An almost GENERIC kernel doesn't show any /dev/gpio* device. I tried including device gpio and I see the module with # kldstat -v | grep gpio but still no /dev/gpio* device. Could anyone point me to the steps to follow in order to enable such interface? And taking the opportunity for a second shot, any recommendation for a Perl module to work with? Thanks in advance Regards.

Identify USB device with devd
Hi list, I have 3 USB GSM modems and I want to trigger some actions when they are plugged to the system. Each modem must trigger a different action, the problem is how to identify each modem because 1) none of the modems have a serial number iSerialNumber = 0x 2) two of three modems have same idProduct, so I can't rely on this 3) I don't know how to get the exact USB port where the modem is plugged. I can get the bus with the variable port # Hub port number (USB) // man devd.conf but this is not enough information. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

wlan0 + hostap + rc.conf
Hi Hackers, >From man rc.conf: If a wlans_⟨interface⟩ variable is set, an wlan(4) interface will be created for each item in the list with the wlandev argument set to interface. Further wlan cloning arguments may be passed to the ifconfig(8) create command by setting the create_args_⟨interface⟩ variable. One or more wlan(4) devices must be created for each wireless devices as of FreeBSD 8.0. So, this is my rc.conf ifconfig_sis0="up" wlans_ath0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode ap" ifconfig_wlan0="ssid nombre channel X mode 11g up" cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="addm wlan0 addm sis0 inet A.B.C.D netmask W.X.Y.Z up" However, when I run /etc/rc.d/netif restart, an error says: ifconfig: create: bad value the create command fails and everything related to the AP initialization. When I run the command in the CLI it works fine # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode ap What could be wrong? Thanks in advance.

You could make a copy of graphics/sane-backends to graphics/sane-backends-devel, fix the source in the new port's directory and install it as a regular port.

I think that Sendmail is exclellent if you like > it, but Postfix is excellent as well, and we should be eventually able > to install FBSD with Postfix as default MTA. I could be wrong, but I think you can build the world without sendmail passing the propper flags to make. In the other hand, sendmail is a piece of the operative system; so you could end up with some broken features. There are some other apps that belong to the OS as well, like bind9 for DNS, sh and csh for the shell and so on... It would be very difficult to let the user choose their favorite applications in an OS install. As I see it, FreeBSD is, in fact, a DNS server or a mail server by default, between others and if I want. And since Postfix has some limitations vs. Sendmail, I'm glad that is sendmail the choice of FreeBSD. I also must say that I frecuently use Postfix for Mail Servers, if I don't need exotic features. My point is that Sendmail doesn't hurt anyone as part of the FreeBSD Operative System; unlike some Linux based distros, which really impose default MTA's without the need. Best regards.

However, Sendmail has many more predefined macros, which can be used in rule sets for handle dynamic routing, headers-rewrites, queues, milters, MDA's, etc, for example. That's what I meant when said "limitations and exotic features". Not saying that Postfix is "bate quebrado" ;-) Without being a fan, I rise the flag for Postfix; I just know the power of Sendmail too.
