Re: [munin-users] Munin crashing : p5-Net-Server

As a workaround, if you comment the munin-node line in /etc/newsyslog.conf, munin-node will stay running, but you'll have to figure out another way to rotate the logs, if you care about rotating those logs. This is probably a bug somewhere. I haven't debugged further than this due to lack of time, but maybe this will help you determine the root cause, and a fix. It looks related to trying to start on an ipv6 interface ( which is not there) and i suspect this is a default from the perl Net-Server module rather than munin?

I think this is exactly what Mac OS X does with its FileVault feature. I was just reading this column by Kelly Martin http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/393 when I wrote this, but the FreeBSD solution may not be so simple as the OSX. Now, the FileVault according to the article encrypts the entire home partition which is fine for single user laptops, but on multiuser systems, each home directory should be distinct encrypted partitions in order not to disclose data to other users. In this case, you would also like the ability to dynamically grow the filesystem when more space is needed, unless ofcourse you simply say, that's the hard quota limit. Actually, the article says FileVault encrypts a user's entire home directory, settings and all data. I have a PowerBook and I used to use FileVault on it. From my observations, it works by making an encrypted Disk Image file of your home directory which is mounted and unmounted at login and logoff. It is a special disk image called a sparse image which can grow, but can't be shrunk while the image is mounted. This is mostly why I stopped using FileVault--doing a lot of I/O in my homedir caused the sparse image to gradually grow, then I'd eventually have to logoff and let it recover all the gaps in the image, a slow process. There is a different image for each user, so it works in multiuser environments. OS X keeps your unix passwd and the disk image decryption passphrase synchronized if you use the OS X GUI to change your password. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Where is $PAGER defined?
The subject says it all - Where is the environment variable $PAGER defined?
If I define PAGER myself in /etc/profile, it is still set to more
upon login. I've done grep -R PAGER /etc and got nothing (except
/etc/profile of course, which apparently is being overridden).
Thanks!

(tip-toeing around) i installed the port a few weeks ago on a different install, and it required 9gb. is there a way to find out how much space the package needs / uses? i got the impression that the package route for large-ish installs such as openoffice used less, but i've definitely been wrong before. 9 GB is quite excessive. That is probably 9 GB including all the unpacked source, the tarball, the left over build tree, etc, all stuff you can delete after the build completes. Still seems like too much though. Anyway, certainly the precompiled binary package will use less space. For comparison, on my Linux box openoffice.org-2.0.2 only takes about 270 MB installed. I don't know how to determine sizes and such yet on FreeBSD though, as I'm still new to it.

Unfortunately it doesn't, no matter what the BIOS setting is. I'll make one attempt at modifying the ISO. If that doesn't work I'll just borrow a PS/2 kbd for the installation. Thanks.

Installing FreeBSD with undetected USB keyboard
Howdy, longtime Linux user here, finally starting to play with FreeBSD. Having a problem getting it installed... I have a USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard connected to an Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard. The keyboard works fine in the BIOS setup and in Linux booted from a CD. Booting with a 6.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso CD gives me no keyboard functionality at all. I've tried enabling and disabling legacy USB support in the BIOS; no difference. I'm thinking that maybe if I set ukbd_load=YES in /boot/defaults/loader.conf.local, the keyboard might work. But there is no mention of modifying the installation media (either floppy or CD) in either the Handbook or the Installation Instructions. Obviously I can't press a key during the boot sequence to enter commands. I've searched the mailing lists but can't find anybody with a problem like this before. Anybody have any ideas, besides get a PS/2 keyboard? Thanks!
