Gerard,
	I am having a similar issue logging in on 5.2.1-RC2, and it seems to 
have happened around the time I added a user and some groups using the 
KUser utility in KDE.  All accounts, including root, are "expired".  
My error message is:

login: pam_acct_mgmt(): user accound has expired
Login Incorrect.
Then, a bit later, I receive messages like the following:

kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0008 != )
kernel: psmintr: discard a byte(1)
	On a side note, the message really does display "accound" instead of 
"account"; it's not a typo of mine.  Searches on the following phrases 
within the questions and newbies mailing lists produced no leads for 
me to research:
	'pam_acct_mgmt(): user accound has expired'
	'pam_acct_mgmt():'
	'psmintr'

I booted into single-user mode (I was amazed to find that 
Ctrl-Alt-Delete shutdown the server from the login prompt.) and took a 
look at /etc/master.passwd.  At the end of one user's entry for shell, 
which was /bin/sh, there was "swd 91%" appended to the end.  I wonder 
if something happened to the file and that's why I am seeing this 
password expired issue?

Being schooled,

FTP Problems with FreeBSD 5.2.1 RC 2 install

[Barry Hawkins]

List,
	Would anyone have insight on problems accessing FTP installation 
sources for 5.2.1 RC2?  I was installing just fine using 
ftp5.us.freebsd.org (mit.edu, I believe, one of the sources closer to 
me), and began to have the installation return to the menu for 
selecting my FTP source.  Invariably the install would no longer return 
to the FTP menu and would ask me if I would like to retry the currently 
failing package.  Replying "Yes" would produce no activity and replying 
"No" would skip that package and try the next one, exhibiting the same 
behavior.
	I restarted the install from scratch four times last night, and tried 
many mirrors from the main list and the USA list of FTP mirrors.  My 
ISP had no network issues posted last night, and I could traceroute via 
my PowerBook on OS X with no issues.  Does anyone know what my issue 
(besides ignorance) might be?  Also, is there a way to gracefully get 
out of error issue with FTP without starting over with my install?

Davje,
	I am one of the most junior members on this list, but I can tell you 
that your post in its current format is not likely to get much 
feedback.  Here is what I think you questions mean and what I think the 
answers are:

Question: Is it available for my XP? (translated "Is it available for 
my Windows XP machine?)
Answer: In short, yes.  Your Windows XP machine is an x86 PC.  This 
list is for the PowerPC (i.e., Macintosh & similar) port of FreeBSD.  
Please see http://www.freebsd.org and look for x86-related information.

Question: What peripherals are supported?
Answer: Lots of them; checking http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html 
will give you an idea of the available applications for FreeBSD, which 
may in turn give you an idea of which peripherals are supported.  It's 
really too broad of a question to address.

Queestion: How vulnerable to hackers is it?
Answer: Much, much less than your XP.
Question: Would it be suitable for a new organization?
Answer: It depends.  If the new organization is composed of mostly 
Windows users, there would be a bit of a learning curve involved.

	I am forwarding your question to the FreeBSD Questions list, which is 
a more appropriate location for this post.

Regards,

possible issue with pam

[Barry Hawkins]

List,
	Hello.  I have recently begun to encounter an issue with changing 
passwords on my 5.1 installation.  I haven't touched anything on it for 
a few months, and the last change-related activity I had were some 
portupgrade tasks to rid myself of the libintl.so.4 issue solved with 
"portupgrade -R gettext" back around September 2003.  I am wondering if 
anyone has experienced an issue similar to mine.
	When I attempt to use passwd to change my password, I get the 
following upon successfully re-typing the password:

passwd: entry inconsistent
passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module
	If anyone has insight on this I would be grateful.  A search of the 
list for pam_chauthtok only revealed one person asking a similar 
question related to yppasswd.

/tmp suddenly full - possible DOS hack?

[Barry Hawkins]

List,
	I have a single FreeBSD server (5.1) that I run at home behind a 
firewall with ports open for ssh, dns, and http.  I began having 
trouble with my DNS not responding, then noticed that ssh was not 
responding either.  Upon logging in at the server, I noticed error 
messages about my /tmp filesystem being full.  Issuing df revealed the 
following:

Filesystem  1K-blocksUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a253678   72770  16061431%/
devfs   1   1   0   100%/dev
/dev/ad0s1e253678 542  232842 0%/tmp

/dev/ad0s1d253678  253106  -19722   108%/var
	Upon further investigation, I noticed a series of grossly bloated 
messages logs:

-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel43001 Oct 13 22:37 messages
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel196001815 Oct 13 17:00 messages.0
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel87398 Oct 13 16:00 messages.1.bz2

-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel36822 Oct 13 12:00 messages.5.bz2
	This is the first BSD box that I have had that allows DNS queries, and 
this is the first time I have experienced something like this.  Is it 
some sort of DOS attack?  I am sure there are a hundred variables that 
I am unaware of, but if some of the list sages could be so kind as to 
prod me in the right direction(s) I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,

Shawn,
	After you reset your MySQL root user password, did you reload the 
tables so that your new password would be recognized?  That is done 
using either of the following:

mysqladmin -u root reload
mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges
NOTE: The "-u root" portion is based on an assumption that prior to 
changing your password, the password had been blank.

I receive the following message:

	The kernel config file resides in ~/kernels/, and I have a symlink in 
/usr/src/conf bearing the name GENERIC_SND.  This is a Dell OptiPlex

Shawn,
	The user named root in MySQL is completely separate from your root 
user for your BSD installation.  It initially has no password, so 
"mysql -u root" without the -p should work for you.  I have always 
installed from source code builds, so I am not sure as to whether or 
not the port does this for you.  Have you run the mysql_install_db 
script to initialize the databases in MySQL?  If not, you could 
potentially be seeing a situation where the permission tables for the 
daemon are not available, so you are being rejected out-of-hand.  I 
would try the "mysql -u root" first, if you have run the script (or if 
the port runs the script for you; regrettably I do not know if it does).

BSDers,
	My own research via Google showed several places I could try to  
download the problematic Samsung-SmartGDI-all-GS.tar.gz.  After  
downloading the file in question several times from different  
locations, including the FreeBSD ftp archives, I continued to receive  
the same messages regarding checksum failures.
	I came across one person's workaround, and was able to use that  
.  However, there are several old postings in various  
newsgroups about this problem, some dating back to October 2002.  Why  
hasn't this MD5 checksum issue been corrected yet?  Is there another  
dependent issue that justifies not fixing this?	Here are some of the  
postings I have seen so far:
