Re: VPS FreeBSD Hosting
Hello, We at SmartServ Hosting, http://www.smart-serv.net/, have been offering VPS containers supporting FreeBSD for over a year and previously ran all our services from FreeBSD on bare metal before moving into our virtualization environment where we continue to use FreeBSD for our core services. We have hosts available in US and France currently.

At the time VPS looked like too many problems. Now, however, it looks like there are quite a number of mature VPS hosting services that are FreeBSD-centric at very attractive prices. Most offer KVM or VPS-instance access to allow rebooting and reinstallation. Can anyone comment on the providers and the technology in the context of having used them specifically for FreeBSD in the last few years? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Fairly modest duty - spam filtering, mailboxes, websites, storage, reverse proxy and the like. Oh yeah, some development.

Re: Root password not working on console
On 08/31/2012 03:37 PM, Walt Elam wrote: I recently *accidentally* removed myself from the wheel group, so I was no longer able to use su to root. To fix it, I hooked up a monitor and keyboard to my FreeBSD 8.2 box so I could login as root, but it kept rejecting my password. I restarted the machine in single-user mode, did the following: mount -u / mount -a passwd exit So it booted back in to multi-user mode. Once again, I tried to login as root, but got the same "Login incorrect" message. Puzzled, I repeated the previous steps using the password "pass" this time. However, I went ahead and added my user account to the wheel group while in single-user mode. Once in multi-user mode again, I still got "Login incorrect" (specifically, pam_acct_mgmt(): authentication error) when logging in as root. I SSH'd to the machine as my regular user, typed su, and entered "pass" which worked just fine. So, I have absolutely no clue why I am unable to login to my machine, on the console, as root with "pass", but it works when using su from a regular user account. I tried searching around but almost all of the hits are about resetting the root password in single-user mode. Does any one know what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks for any help in advance, -Walt The only thing that comes to mind would be to check /etc/ttys and see if the console ttys are set to insecure, which would prevent root login. ___ 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" ___ 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"

the lang/php5 (or lang/php52) port builds the apache module. you will
need to rebuild the php port.

nss_ldap leaving sockets open
I seem to have encountered a rather annoying and puzzling problem, I am running nss_ldap on 7.0-STABLE with openldap-server 2.4.11 on the same server. I have nss_ldap configured to connect over a unix socket. This works great except for the fact it seems the connections are never being closed. When I checked earlier today with (netstat -n | grep -c slapd.sock) it reported 441 instances. I have bind_policy set to soft and nss_connect_policy set to oneshot and this still seems to be occuring. Any hints or clues on what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: slightly OT. php5 breaks my hit-count....
Hi Gary,
I just tested this exact code on php 5.2.5 and I didn't receive any error.
For further help with this you are welcome to email me privately as this
is more of a php code problem :)
Gary Kline wrote:
guys,
i need some help from any of you who is current with php5.
in '05 i wrote myown hit counter in php4 using the "." operator
to write statements like:
$dir="countdir/"; $filename= $file;
if (! (file_exists( ( $dir.$filename) )))
{
// the if fopen cannot open, echo "Error" and exit(1)
}
this did work. with php5, however, i'm getting a "divivde by
zero" error on both lines. thebest thing, or easiest, would be
to compilr php4. but i'd like to know some better ways.
anybody clue me in?
thanks in advance,
