Re: ttys file question
But I can not connect to my server with this configuration. But if I change ttyu6 to cuau6, everything works fine! I don't understand the difference, would you please explain the reason for me? In short the tty devices are for outgoing connections, the cua devices are for incoming connections. For more detail see sio(4), after all the detail about multi-port serial cards and their master ports comes a couple of paragraphs describing the devices associated with each serial port in detail. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith st...@sohara.org Thanks. Another question is how can I change the default values of e.g. databits, stopbits and ... for the device?

Re: using AWK
Hi Jack, HI How can I read a file which contains a number and assign that number to a variable via awk programming? By the way, I want to use this awk program in a shell script. I'm actually not sure what you're asking, exactly -- you want the number to go into an awk variable? Or a shell variable? Yes, I want the number to go into an awk variable. Assuming you want it to go into an awk variable, I would try something like this: getline my_number filename; close filename; That assumes the filename is stored in the variable named filename. It puts the number in the awk variable named my_number. To put that in context, let's say you're getting the filename from $0, and you want to multiply the number by 2 and print it. You might do: filename = $0; getline my_number filename; close filename; print my_number * 2; Or if I completely misinterpreted your question, let me know :-) ~Ben This is what i wrote: #! /bin/sh filename=$0 awk 'getline no filename; print no' But when I run this script sh /awk_no.sh /var/no.txt I have this error : awk: syntax error at source line 1 context is getline no filename; print no awk: bailing out at source line 1 Thank you :) ___ 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

you mean after building image, this function remove unwanted from WORLDDIR ?
i suppose this will not effect the image, because the image had been built

Re: pppoe configuration and dns name resolution
Hi This time I configured as simple as possible with minimal settings, and voila things worked. I successfully connected to internet in both cases - DHCP server disabled in adsl modem, and DHCP server enabled in adsl modem. Thanks all of you guys for helping. :) Here are config files: ## /etc/rc.config hostname=jacks_lappy ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP # The below line is to be used if DHCP server on adsl # modem is disabled. #ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 # This is assigned to telnet to adsl modem and configure it, # if you don't wanna communicate with modem, remove # this line. It doesn't affect ppp connectivity, in any way - # I tried removing it and got connected successfully. sshd_enable=YES moused_enable=YES powerd_enable=YES # Set dumpdev to AUTO to enable crash dumps, NO to disable dumpdev=AUTO hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES --- ## /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: default: set log Phase tun command adsl: set device PPPoE:fxp0 #MRU is optional too, you can remove it # w/o affecting ppp connectivity. set mru 1492 #set mtu 1492 # This was the cause of failure. # See man ppp for more info. # If MTU is set, ppp will not accept MRU values less than MTU. # e.g. MTU = 1492. Now if your ISP has MTU = 1460(my case), then # ppp on your PC, will not connect to ppp server at your ISP side. # So DO NOT set MTU explicitly. set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set dial set login add default HISADDR enable dns # a must, if DHCP server is enabled in adsl modem # and if you don't wanna edit /etc/resolv.conf # each time before connecting tp ISP's ppp server. #Now you don't need to touch /etc/resolv.conf - My /etc/resolv.conf is updated each time I start ppp, so I didn't needed to edit it. I simply started ppp via ppp -ddial adsl I also didn't start ppp at bootup, as it requires that your adsl modem must be powered on before FreeBSD begins booting, which is not the usual case for me. Also, as soon as I started ppp, an ip address is assigned to tun0 interface by ISP, while fxp0 was assigned its ip address via DHCP server enabled in adsl modem, even before I attempted to dial ppp. That is expected. I also tested this configuration with DHCP server disabled in adsl modem and it too worked successfully, except I need to chnage the line fxp0=DHCP to manually assigned ip address one, no other change was needed. The problem might be I was I trying to explcitly set MTU to be 1492, which ppp takes as minimum value - ie no MTU value less than 1492 is agreed upon by user ppp. My ISP's MTU was 1460, and since 1460 1492, so ppp was not agreeing upon MTU value and no connection was made. Thanks again all of you guys for sorting this out. :) Mean while I created a script to start and stop ppp service for a profile. This script is specifically written for csh/tcsh shell - the default one for FreeBSD, so some changes need to be made if it is to be run in other shells. Just go to c shell and type pppdo profilename start | stop where 'profilename' is the desired profilename defined in etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and either you 'start' ppp or 'stop' ppp. Here goes the script: pppdo.sh #!/bin/csh if ( $#argv != 2 ) then echo Usage: $0 ppp_profile start | stop exit endif switch ($2) case start: /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial $1 ; breaksw case stop: killall -INT ppp killall -HUP ppp ; breaksw default: echo $0 : Invalid Cmd ; breaksw endsw - NOTE: before executing this script make sure it is executable If not, type this at shell: chmod +x ./pppdo.sh After executing this script try pinging to a remote site to confirm connectivity, e.g. type this at shell: ping -c5 freebsd.org If you get 0.0% packet loss, then you made it! So, the only files that require modifications are /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/rc.conf No other file need to be modified to use user ppp, no matter whether DHCP server on your adsl modem is enabled or disabled, it doesn't matter - just use the configuration mention above. Then use the script as: ./pppdo adsl start to start the ppp profile named adsl(tun0 interface is created), and use ./pppdo adsl stop to stop the ppp. This will destroy the tun0 interface too. PS: The user account from which this script is to be run, must be a member of network group too, though network group need not to be the user's login group. This is the requirement of user ppp itself, and not of this script. Regards -- Jack ___ freebsd-questions
Re: pppoe configuration and dns name resolution
in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf that works, and others don't But what is that magic sequence? PS: In windows there is no problem connecting via ppp, even if I use DHCP server enabled on my adsl modem, and modem is in bridge mode. So, there must be some way in FreeBSD too, that works regardless of whether ip address of fxp0(the ethernet interface to which adsl modem connects to PC), is assigned via a DHCP server on modem or manually. I understand that if DHCP is enabled on adsl modem, and fxp0 is assigned the ip address via this DHCP, then the PPP server of ISP to which we are trying to connect, will also assign a public IP address to the PPP client, which in case of FreeBSD is tun0 interface rather than fxp0 . In other words, tun0 interface here should be PPP client, and PPP server is at ISP side. Ths fxp0 interface is used for both types of traffic - local LAN traffic and the PPP traffic. PC -- ADSL modem -- ISP fxp0 (LAN DHCP Client) LAN DHCP server doesn't know about 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1 LAN tun0 transparent to PPP traffic PPP client( in bridge mode) PPP Server So, from ISP's PPP server's perspective, the only thing it sees on customer side is PPP client ie tun0 interface. PPP server doesn't know anything about adsl modem in between and any LAN at customer side. adsl modem just acts as a PPP traffic forwarder - that's why it is called a bridge mode of modem. So, tun0 interface is the interface to which ISP's PPP server will assign the public IP address. From my understanding it shoud not matter whether fxp0 is assigned the ip address via DHCP server on local lan or via manually - at least this concept works on windows. But in FreeBSD, if I enable dhcp on fxp0, then /etc/resolv.conf is created each time I boot in FreeBSD, so the only nameserver being 192.168.1.1, ie adsl modem ethernet interface. Even if I edit it to include nameservers of my ISP or OpenDNS this file is created each time FreeBSD boots, and these entries are lost, with only entry being 192.168.1.1 Is this a FreeBSD design/bheaviour issue? Can anyone throw light on the issue I'm facing? Any possible tricks I might be missing, while configuring PPP interface?

Re: pppoe configuration and dns name resolution
Hi, Thank you guys for your suggestions, and sharing your experiences with me. This time I deleted old /var/log/ppp.log file, and I did modify /etc/ppp/ppp.conf - just the location of ifaddr line is changed and some more logging options set -nothing else is changed. .

Rewrite redirects
I thought I had this figured out but discovered I have a BIG flaw with my .htaccess redirects After days of searching and experimenting, I still can't get this to do what I intended. I have moved all of the content on a web site from the web root to a different directory. Now I need toredirect the URL requests from the old location to the new one. Instead of issuing a 301 error, I want to first redirect to an info page, let's call it info.htm. Here's what I have now in the web root's .htaccess. Here's the way it was/is: ~webroot/lots_of.html and now changed to this: ~webroot/content/lots_of.html Using the apache mod_rewritein .htaccess RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /~webroot/(.*\.html) /^info.htm [PT] which is supposed to redirect any page with the extension .html to the info.htm page. BUT, alas any *.html page in any directory will redirect back to the info.htm page!! What I wanted is that only the *.html pages in the ~webroot to be redirected to the info page. I hope this make sense and I hope someone can give me a tip on how to limit the redirects to only the webroot pages.

I've googled many times and tried some examples from there, but most appear pretty old and not running with php5.3x. Is it just that Horde doesn't work with fbsd-7.x and php5.3x or is it me? I am in the process of rewriting all the horde4 ports, as this is a very large project involving over 50 modules and libs it will take some time. Horde4 does work very well with FreeBSD and you can do a pear install if you really need it now. Do keep in mind that horde4 is not backwards compatible with 3.x and the update procedures are not trivial. That being said, this should get you started: http://www.horde.org/apps/webmail/docs/INSTALL Beech Hi Beech: Since I've never gotten horde 3 to fully work yet, I suppose I could give horde4 a shot. I liked its potention and thought it would be useful to some of our users. I re-installed horde-3 3 or 4 times and always got stopped when it would only loads the Welcome to Horde page requesting a login. I followed the instructions carefully AFAIK. Login failed every time even though MySQL backend and the horde conf.php files contained the login.

I was just overthinking it. Simply changing the doc root in the main httpd conf to match my exising one worked beautifully with any concern about moving content around and breaking the system path for scripts and things. By modifying the www/apache22/data back to www/data left everything as was. My production servers are now updated this way. My web serving was only down for a few minutes as I left apache2 running in memory. I simply uploaded copies of all of my tested .conf files from the test server before installing apache22. Also first made the minor changes needed to the main conf and vhost.conf. Killed the apache2 and voila! Thanks for your version of the process, but thought I'd post mine here too just in case there is anyone left on the planet besides me that hasn't already upgraded to apache22.

A note of concern was that apache22 changes the path to the document root by inserting ../www/apache22/data versus the previous ../www/data doc root. Of course my vhosts and a bunch of other things of importance now reside within the ../www path. I suppose I can change the doc root within the apache22 config file(s) but I can forsee some possible breakage in things on a production server when before, when moving from apache-1.3 to apache2, web things were put in the same path and without any modifications needed. I suppose this only affects the main host server stuff and things left in the ../www placement will still work as before according to the present setup. In examining the apache22 Makefile I see some places that the path might be changed, but don't know if that is the best idea vs maybe changing the doc root in apache22 config. A 3rd choice is to move stuff contained in the ../www/cgi-bin phpMyAdmin ...etc things that the main host needs to find in the new location. What did you fellows do about this issue that worked best for you assuming y'all had vhosts and similar stuff to worry about? Methinks this is my last question before moving to production servers.

Some pretty big projects including Drupal CMS are moving to PDO. I reckon that having other options without reinventing the wheel, than one certain Oracle controlled DB-backend is starting to gain momentum. Just as a sidenote, PHP 5.3.6 so far seems to be unaffected by extension loading order, but looks like that any upgrade of apache, apr, php etc. means that every dependent module downstream has to be recompiled as well. -Reko With upgrade to php5-5.3.6 is the first time ever (many years) I've had any problem with php. The order of the extensions never came up as an issue, nor did it once I found the extensions causing the seg faults and core dumps. Ryan's suggestion of commenting out all of the extensions and then adding back 1 by 1 enabled me to find the offenders quickly. The 2 sqlite extensions caused the problem for me there also was a 3rd one and I removed them all as I don't use that database. For ports, I usually go with the defaults on options unless I KNOW what they do or don't do. Have used the same options and didn't know why the sqlites were added this time. That further cause an install of the core sqlite port. Without removing it, I couldn't delete the inclusion of the sqlite extensions. Now, I wrestling with the apache2 and apr0 issue. The apache port Makefile wants apr0, but it now has vulnablilities. Ports UPDATING says to do this with apr: - remove apache2 and then: portupgrade -f -o devel/apr1 devel/apr ...and then reinstall apache2. That didn't work because the Makefile in apache still wants apr0. I changed the Makefile to apr1 but the build failed after it looked again for that apr0 later in the build. I didn't find another call for apr0. What have others done for this? This is about the last issue I know about after the major upgrade of the ports. Thanks for all the help so far -- just any other help on the apr thingy would be nice. Yes, I have googled and always do before going to the trough here. Thanks again! (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

Matthew:
Thanks for that suggestion but couldn't find the numerous discussions about
the wrong order of extensions. Using google I did find one post and a list
that poster used. I tried following his list with the sames ones I had plus
some 6-7 he didn't have. Still get the core dump.
Can you suggest the key word to search in the list archives. I used php5
extensions and php5 core dump which brought up some discussions which
didn't include the order discussions though.
I cannot do without ioncube as another post mentioned.
Thanks to all and any other ideas.

Pardon my answering my own post, but after reading the find manpage, I
think perhaps
find -d /path/to/start/deleting -type d -name _vti_\* -exec rm -Rd {} \;
would be better. The -d option makes find visit the contents of a
directory before the directory itself. The one without the -d option
deletes the topmost directory it finds and then tries to traverse
downwards, which of course causes a warning. It still works though.

While I could handle the change using a single directory within my abilities, I'm unsure how to do a search and replace throughout the many domains and their directories. Don't want to mess up. Here's what I'm trying to do: # find all of the same filenames (copyright.htm) and then replace the year 2010 with 2011 in each file. Once I have a working script, I should be able to add it as a cron job to run on the first day of each new year. Any help appreciated. Thanks! Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

Re: Recording from sound card

The last time I tried this was many releases ago, possibly 4.x-RELEASE. Back then I would do something like cat /dev/dsp file but now when I try it I just end up with a 0 byte file. I'm using a different sound card than before so maybe that has something to do with it. Or possibly I just don't know which device to use. Playing sounds using cat file.wav /dev/dsp0.0 works fine, but I can't get recording to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I sent in an email to support yesterday and all I've gotten back so far was the robot acknowledgement. Based upon this thread, I don't find that encouraging. I am locked out and I need access to the account so I can make a DNS change. My experience was also maddening and for several days, all I got was that ...we'll get back to you within 24 hours but they didn't respond at all for several days. They had sent me a link that was supposed to reset my password, but it returned an error as well. Thanks to this list, Dan of zoneedit responded and fixed things. I got in immediately thereafter using a fresh link to reset my password to the new platform. Glad Dan monitors this list. Alas, though now I'm getting an avalance of more robot responses to my many earlier cries for help. It makes me nervous that another on staffer may mess up things -- so, I keep logging in. All is still okay on the new platform so far. While the new platform looks a bit more flashy can't say I like it any better (yet). Another response to my post was from Pierre who said: ...The legacy platform seems to still work for me: http://legacy.zoneedit.com I had sent some money though to have free service for my existing domains forever Apparently Pierre's account just hasn't been migrated to the new platform and the old legacy sit still works. Mine had been migrated to the new but apparently with errors as it didn't recognize my email address which has been on the old site for 9+ years. The pay ahead didn't have anything do do with it. I've also carried a sizable advance paid balance of unused credits. Mike, maybe Dan will help you too. Also, perhaps my experience will be useful for others. For almost a decade, this is the first time I've had a problem, while I was alarmed and fummed at the lack of response this time, all is well again for me. I guess they are having growing pains with the move to the new platform??? All the best, Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

zoneedit.com
I have used zoneedit.com's DNS zone service for about 9 years and it handles a number of static IPs for my companies. Now, suddenly they have created a new platform and migrating accounts from the legacy platform to the new. The legacy site doen't work anymore, just confirms account and redirects to the new site. Are there any members here using zoneedit.com and having trouble with their login? I cannot get my login to work and they won't solve the problem. They say they have reset my password but it doesn't work. The legacy web site says my account has been migrated, yet the login doesn't work. The legacy site responds to my normal email address used for the entire 9 years, but the new platform only responds with an error that the email doesn't exist. The service still works, but no access to manage my zones. (Yes, I copy/paste the login so no typos.) I've sent numerous request for help since Jan 12th but only get the robot response with the same information about responding in 24 hours -- but, they never respond. Now, here I sit without access to numerous domain zones I need to edit with any way to access them. This is hurting my biz. So, anyone with this issue out there or know of an alternative company to replace zoneedit? Thanks for any response (no robots pls -- heh, heh) (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

Strange error
I have a strange error. Normally when you compile the complete system, the first line of /etc/motd is being adjusted telling you the time and version you just compiled. On one server this is not being done. What is the problem. Which programm adjust the motd file when compiling?

Memory leak and swapfile
It looks like that there may be a memory leak of my swap space with one of the processes that is running. Big question: How can I determine which process is responsible. Any suggestions?
