Hello folks:
No doubt this will be easy for those with scritping abilities.
I have a gazillion files by the same name and each contains the same line
requiring the same change. But the problem is that they are in many
different directories on a server with numerous domains. 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!

Re: qmail or postfix?
Calling qmail more secure is pretty much just echoing conjecture at this point. Sure, it was designed to be secure (years and years ago) and the original author even held a contest with a monetary reward for anyone who could find a vulnerability -- that said, AFAIK that person no longer maintains the project. It requires lots of third party patches to be as functional as postfix, so to what extent these patches counteract the original coder's (apparent) secure coding practices is open to debate. If you know of any specific problems with postfix that would substantiate your claim I encourage you to inform the project's maintainers. From personal experience I can say that I've run a postfix config for years without problems. Also, in most networks I don't think the MTA is a very prominent attack vector; people are probably much more likely to get in through that old wordpress installation you've been meaning to upgrade for 6 months (for instance).

Further, that company probably has a list of supported software and won't vouch for their product's ability to run anything outside of that list.

You may be executing two instances of bind at startup as another respondent suggested.

We currently use gmail for our three email accounts. One is internal, and the other two are not. Seeing as how gmail doesnt sync with the other addresses, we have to constantly use gmails fetch settings to retrieve mail from the other two addresses. Im in the midst of setting up FreeBSD POP3 and IMAP4 for retrieving e-mail, and (LDAP) for directory services. I need advice on how to configure the clients to retrieve there 2 email addresses from there XP machines using FreeBSD. There are so many ports and packages to use Im not sure which ones to pick, and where to start. Ive got Procmail & Fetchmail installed on FrreBSD. I want to have Exim to hand off the email addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to procmail , which in turn will run it thru SpamAssassin. Then to send a copy to GMail and deliver one locally. Also archives a copy on the server in monthly mbox files as a secondary backup I got 5 days to have it up and running! Any configuration ideas for Postfix, Procmail, Fetchmail The setup will only be used for retrieval only, with no need to use it as an SMTP relay server. Im not looking for a large response, but if anyone could give me some info on what to install (in what order) and how to configure the protocols would be greatly appreciated. There is no registered domain for our company, so my goal is to just receive emails, and store them locally Resource recommendations would help too.

SSL and Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 on FreeBSD 6.0
Hi All, Can anyone tell me whether they have experienced any problems with SSL under Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (20070612) on FreeBSD 6.0? I used portupgrade to download and install the pkg the other day, along with Firefox 2.0.0.4, I might add, and I am now unable to use SSL to connect to my mail server. Fortunately, I can use a normal connection, so it is not a major issue, but all the same... Initially I thought it might be caused by the same problem which stopped the new Firefox from being able to access sites using https. I solved this, after much digging around on the internet, by adding the path: "/usr/local/lib/nss" to the ldconfig setup in my rc.conf. Unfortunately, Thunderbird remains broken. Has anyone experienced something similar? Alternatively, does anyone know how Thunderbird goes about finding the nss package? Would it be possible that even with ldconfig ok, Thunderbird still can't locate the nss libraries? I actually have another issue, quite possibly connected, which is that since the upgrade I haven't been able to set Thunderbird's master password. It is storing my account passwords fine I should add. I've tried every trick I could find on the internet, including using "modutil" to recreate the .db files and things, but nothing has worked so far. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Dear All, Just a quick one for the benefit of anyone who might be using Thunderbird to send emails to the freebsd mailing lists. Thanks to the postmaster for his/her help on this one. It seems that in order to have your replies to a topic threaded correctly you need to add a second field to your message header block labelled "Reply-To". This can be selected from the drop down list that appears if you click "To" on the left side of a header block entry. (Same as making CC, BCC fields, etc.) On the right side of the "Reply-To" entry, paste the "Message-ID" of the message you wish to reply to. This is present for every message when receiving in the "digest form". (Not sure about receiving messages one-by-one. You might need to go View -> Headers -> All in order to see the Message-ID?) Be sure to include the leading and trailing angle brackets (ie. the less-than and greater-than signs) !!

Help with lost MBR on USB HDD
Hi All, I have a dual boot system going with WinXP and FreeBSD on my laptop. Just before I installed FreeBSD I bought a USB HDD to plug in so I could transfer some files off my laptop's internal HDD and make space for it. Alas, even with doing that I could only get a measly 7 GB free, which I used up pretty quickly building the JRE for OpenOffice. When I got my USB HDD I split it into 4 x 60GB slices (partitions), changing one of them from the default NTFS to FAT32, so I could share it with FreeBSD. While the sharing was ok, unfortunately FAT32 doesn't support symlinks and this led to errors when I tried to use that slice for building stuff in ports. I decided I needed a native UFS2 slice instead of a FAT32 one and set to work. Firstly, I have "Acronis PartitionExpert Personal" and according to that, all the slices apparently existed (past tense!) in a single logical partition. I used the program to change my *THIRD* slice (between 120GB and 180GB) from existing in the logical partition to being a physical partition in its own right. Was this a bad move, not being at the end of the disk? Acronis never complained and it all seemed to work ok. I then proceeded to try to change its type from 7 (NTFS) to 165 (FreeBSD). Acronis said it needed to reboot to do this, you know that odd, special WinXP (safe?) mode? When it did so though it said my drive was not present. Was this because the USB drivers aren't loaded in that odd WinXP pseudo-DOS "blocky character" mode? Or was this because I had my USB drive on auto power-off and it took too long to windup? Anyway, whichever it may be, PartitionExpert said that it couldn't find the drive so it couldn't change the type. I then thought well surely if I can't do it under XP then I can do this under FreeBSD. I looked at the MBR under fdisk and it had 2 entries, one for the logical partition and one for the new physical partition I had setup with PartExp. I must admit I was more comfortable with the fdisk in sysinstall, since I had used that when installing FreeBSD, so I changed to that one. The display seemed a little odd because it had about 8 entries, my four 60 GB slices, plus four other very small slices between each 60GB slice. A couple were "63" in size, but the one just above the partition I wanted to change (da0s2) was "7" in size. I wrote down the lines around the partition I wanted to change, but didn't write the whole table out as it was rather long winded. Aerrr, bummer! Anyway, I changed the Type from 7 to 165. And that's ALL I did. I then Wrote the table out and exited. I went into the labelling tool (also in sysinstall) and set the slice as one big FreeBSD partition. The labelling tool automatically newfs'ed it for me, and things were good to go. Next I exited sysinstall and mounted my partition under FreeBSD. Everything was great. Past tense. When I next booted into WinXP a few minutes later, all my NTFS drives were gone. A quick look under Acronis told me only my FreeBSD slice remained. Ummm, so what had gone wrong? Any ideas? I went back into FreeBSD and had a look at the MBR under fdisk (the command line version this time) and now there was no entry 1, just an entry 2, pointing to the FreeBSD slice. So I had lost my 3 other slices, from 0 - 60 GB (NTFS), 60 - 120 GB (NTFS), and 180 GB - end_of_disk (FAT32). Can anyone please tell me what happened when I ran sysinstall's fdisk? Can anyone also perhaps tell me where the slice (partition) info is kept for a logical partition? Since the MBR only had 1 entry for the other 3 partitions their info is obviously not stored there. Where and how is it stored? And last but not least, I really hope someone can tell me how I can salvage my MBR & other 3 partitions. If that is not possible, then perhaps you can point me in the direction of a tool which will salvage the files on the lost slices? There's not heaps of data there, only around 20 GB or so across all three. But if I can, I'd really like to get it back. I'm hoping NTFS is robust enough to allow salvaging like this? Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!!

Re: user account changes lost on reboot
Hi Lowell, yes the home directory is intact. I built and installed a new kernel, and after the reboot the accounts are now staying intact. So it's a mystery.

user account changes lost on reboot
Hi, I just setup a new 5.4 install, which went fairly well. I added some accounts - I used adduser to do one account, and logged on as the user OK. The other account was created when I installed gdm as the display manager. On rebooting the root password is missing, the user account I created is also gone (but the home directory and files are still there). gdm won't start, complaining that the gdm user doesn't exist. I recreated the user again but it vanished after the next boot. Does anyone know what might cause these account changes to be lost?

Where does your script live? You can use rcNG style scripts in /usr/

without the rcorder and stuff (unless you write your own ueber-

I battled this for a long while before I figured out the /usr/local/

yea i've figured it out. this really should be better documented
though... i'll be sending all the info to the documentation mailing
list. here's the proper way to do it. the filename is 'httpd_start.sh'
with 555 mode. rc scripts, both rcNG and the old *.sh styles must have
the .sh extension to be recognized (source: bsdforums.org). the script
was placed in '/usr/local/etc/rc.d'. and here is the code:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: httpd_start
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
. /etc/rc.subr
name="httpd_start"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/var/www/bin/apachectl"
args="start"
start_cmd="${command} ${args}"
stop_cmd="/var/www/bin/apachectl stop"
httpd_start_enable=${httpd_start_enable-"NO"}
httpd_start_flags=${httpd_start_flags-""}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
[/code]
the line 'httpd_start_enable="YES"' was added to rc.conf and this fixed
everything.

RE: referencing in files
Ok sorry. Precisely. I have a file (actually a script, sorry) that has a lot of the settings for a client in, eg IP addresses, interface they connect on etc. and I use the motd to keep all this together, just to make things easier when I log into my server. Now I want the motd to update (if at all possible) to the settings in this file when I change it. Maybe a script IS the only way to go. Here is an example: Say i have a file /root/setup.client.sh, and it has this line: IFACE=ng10 Now I want to have the motd, when it is displayed after login, to go fetch the current value of that IFACE, and display that value. Is it a bit clearer?

What I meant was, kinda like if you have a changing value in one file, right?

Does anyone know where I can just find some info on this? Thanks for the help in advance -- If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. J. R. R.

referencing in files
Just a quick question, is there a way to tell a normal text file (for instance: /etc/motd) to get a value from another file when it displays? And what would be the syntax if this is possible?

RE: usingh ssh
On the remote system, set in the /etc/rc.conf file the line "sshd_enable="YES"" Does that work? ---- Jarrod Meyer | Technical | C Y B E R T E K Tel: 031-2075287 Fax: 031-2082210 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.cybertek.co.za > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bhaban Singh > Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 9:32 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: usingh ssh > > i try to connect freebsd system from another freebsd system by using > ssh command. but the connect refuse in port 22. i try using port 21 > but it also fail. > > please suggest me how to connect to another freebsd system > > i have install freebsd 5.3 (kernel development, port collection) and i > also compile my kernel. > > thanks > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
portupgrade -a question
Hello, I have a freebsd box I just set up and I am wondering about some things. I just ran `make buildworld` installworld and all that after an extensive cvsup. I still have perl version 5.6 something. The new version according to perl.com is 5.8 I ran portupgrade -a and it didn't upgrade anything. Do I need to move to the CURRENT source tree to get these new packages installed? It seems I have many dated packages on this freebsd box. Here is the steps I take to update... cvsup -g -L 2 I am using the stable tree. portsdb -Uu portversion -l "<" (nothing ever returns) portupgrade -a (this says something like: No need to upgrade fvwm-blahversion) (according to a freebsd site I found off of google, this is the proper way to go about updating) pkgdb -Fu My kernel is updated, my source tree is updated. But perl is an old version, openssh is an old version. Maybe I do not understand how the stable tree works, or ports in itself works, are the security and bug fixes patched and the version numbers maintained? That seems a bit odd to me. Anyhow I am a noob. Thanks for your time and patience.

portupgrade problem
when running portversion -v -l "<" Nothing returns so I assume this means no errors, but, after cvsup -v -L 2 updating the index and the database of ports, and then running portupgrade -a (which after reading the man page I assume that it updates all out dated ports) nothing happens, ssh -V returns 3.6p1 which is an old version, and nothing else will update. I have read through the ports guide in the handbook and after reading through that and following the steps I get to make buildworld and I cannot make buildworld. I want to test the freeBSD evironment and it's serving capabilities and I have heard nothing but good things about it. Thanks for your time.

Re: Why would drive run at UDMA33? (Segate 80GB)
As some others said, put both the hard drives on the same channel and see what that does, also to change the speeds it is 'atacontrol mode (number of channel ie 0 or 1) UDMA(#) UDMA(#)' if you have 2 things on the same channel. But switch the cd-rw and the hard drive and put the 2 drives on the same channel and you might not have to mess with setting the speeds. and another good command to check what speeds are on the same channel 'atacontrol mode (number of channel)' of course dont use parenthesis on any of that, and if you already know about what i said oh well, spreading my limited knowledge Jarrod [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 17:07:29 +1100 JacobRhoden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > JacobRhoden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have just purchased a new 80GB drive, howerver i noticed it is running > > > significantly slower than my current 80gb drive. > > On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 04:38 pm, Jarrod wrote: > > Try 'man atacontrol' > > I typed 'man atacontrol' and it didnt seem to help!
