DarwinStreamingServer
Hey there folks, Is anybody using the port DarwinStreamingServer? Got the beast installed, easy enough. Problem is that when creating mp3 playlist it reports an error has occured. Check the error logs and there's no entry. Tried converting the mp3s to mp4s (using Nero's media converter) and use Media playlist but it doesn't like that either. Help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Reprocessing sendmail failed messages
--- Tim Traver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kris, thanks for your attempts, but I'm not sure you understand what I mean... I understand, you have a lot of files in clientmque and you want to send them out. Thus the submission of what I found in google. I cannot run a queue manually on these messages because sendmail thinks they are permanent errors. So any queue runs on these messages produce nothing. Check your maillog by the way and see what it says about the messages. Found something else (It talks about requeuing things and offers a script)- http://www.patoche.org/LTT/daemon/0073.html On this box we don't run a sendmail daemon. We only relay mail to another server when the sendmail daemon gets called. That is why those messages are in the clientmqueue dir instead of the regular mqueue dir. My real issue is that I now have these bunch of messages that won't get processed, because sendmail assumes they are permanent failures. The q files are named with a capital Q in front of them, is this why they are ignored ? I happen to have a stuck message. So I'll see if I can get the bugger sent off. Okay, I renamed the little beast from Qf to qf and sendmail whined about it being invalid or something. So I poked around in the mqueue directory. In it I found two files: dfk2VKp7im043605 (This is the body of the email) qfk2VKp7im043605 (This is the sender stuff) Unless you have the associated df file then it's lost. But to veryify look inside a Qf file and see what turns up. If you don't see the body of a message then it looks like it is lost. Is there any one who knows how to revert and re-submit these messages ??? YAY! I did it! backup your files first! I took the above files, hopeing that the df Qf pair were there, in this case they were. If not already shut down, turn off the queue from /etc/mail with a make stop-mspq Did I mention that it's a good idea at this point to backup your queue? Back it up. Rename all the Qf files to qf (or to test, just a df qf pair) ensure that group permissions are rw (I don't know if it is important but my guess it is because they are going to have be erased by the queuer) Start the queue back up with make start-mspq Something you might want to try (again back your stuff up and I didn't try this by the way) rename all the files, move them to the mqueue directory, chown them to whatEverUserAlreadyOwningThem:daemon (they are probably :smmsp Or something like that, but basicaly make the group match the same group of a given directory). then try and tickle sendmail to sending the items off. Probably sendmail -bp might kick it. Anyway, hope something there helps. BTW, I looked through sendmail source at queue.c and there's a flag called bogus and if it's not true then sendmail stucks an ugly message in your maillog about uid/gid not matching. I think that has to do with the particular group owner of a given queue directory and if things aren't kosher then BAM! you get the ugly message. I know I did.

Kiffin, Interestingly enough I was glancing at one of the FreeBSD books and it said (I'm paraphrasing here) Uptime isn't something one should be proud of. If uptime is, for example, 350 days then darn it something probably needs updating. It just becomes more of a in-your-face sort of thing because then packages have to be fetched, compiled, installed and all that. Do the research to see what a portupgrade is going to touch and see what fixes there are. A good example for upgrading would be finding out that (I don't recall which program reports that a port has a given security issue and briefly tells you to either upgrade or uninstall) if a given port has a security fix for it. Did a smidge of research and I think it is portaudit found in security/portaudit. Alrighty, back to your question. If, for example, portaudit says there's a security issue and you are worried about it then upgrade (perhaps have portaudit run every night).

I can't help you; and I wouldn't help MSN if I could. I know I first bought a (used) modem that was guaranteed to work with Qwest and a non-MSFT ISP, but I later learned that it would only work with Qwest+MSN and had to pay a restocking fee to get most of my money back. Grrr. I found what seems (in about 5 mo) to be a good ISP at opusnet.com . Relatively good contract terms and in actual practice, so far. And about as cheap as they come. Note that _almost_ all ISPs have indemnity clauses whereby you agree to pay their legal and other costs if some third party makes claims against the ISP which involve you in any way, whether or not you've done anything wrong in most such clauses. Another facter is how far away the courthouse and your lawyer would be. Last time I looked, Quest had no indemnity clause for their pure DSL service, but they had one in their ISP contract and, of course, MSN does too. I say of course, but I should note that MSN.net is one of increasingly-few web sites that has no indemnity clause in the site-use contract. Even such open source sites as Slashdot have them these days. I assume the risk of using such sites in read-only mode, but seldom, if ever, post anything to them. BTW, my insurance guy knows of no personal insurance against such indemnity risks. I bought a DSL modem at Fry's for about 10 $ more than Qwest's, mostly because Qwest has given me many reasons to dislike and distrust them and partly because my modem has a 2-yr guarantee. It is a Zoom ADSL X5 and seems to work fine and was easy to configure once I got past some problem that I had with Mozilla not accessing the modem's configuration web forms correctly. (I've already forgotten the cause.) Beware that the Zoom modem package says in big print that it comes with DSL filters and in fine print it says how many it comes with, which I didn't notice was _zero_. Grrr.) With the Zoom modem, at least, you may configure it to run DHCP and give the modem a fixed (eg, 10.something) IP address or run DHCP on whatever you connect to the modem. The Zoom X5 is also a 4-port router, but this one was not wireless like the Qwest modem. Finally, beware that a few weeks ago DSL providers like Qwest got permission (from the US gov) to refuse to do business (after 2005, IIRC) with good ISPs like opusnet.com, so don't be suprised if your choice in 2006 is between Qwest+MSN and Comcast+Comcast.

Windows computers happily sharing the connection. Just to confirm, my guess is that this would not be the service to go with since I would love to have my spiffy Linksys Router (WRT-54G) hook to the DSL. And to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD, and misc Windows computers. If the above isn't going to work then I'm stuck with a different bundle (a few bucks more) that would allow me to do the same thing. I hope. I'm not familiar with the way in which DSL does its connectivity thing. Okay, I saw in a previous question that PPoE is needed with DSL. And I noticed that I could set my WRT54G to utilize PPoE, so maybe MSN ISP Qwest service will work? So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to work with MSN as the ISP? Most appreciated. Gah, that means I'm probably not going to be needing my little WRT-54G router then. :~( Hope I wasn't to confusiong there. ~Mr. Anderson __ Yahoo!

Oops, I don't think this got to the list. So I'm sending just in case. --- Steve Camp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Where are you located? Oregon. I'm in Denver. I use Qwest DSL, but Dimensional Communications / Forethought (www.dim.com / www.dimensional.com / www.forethought.com) is my ISP. No way in hell that I'd use MSN for my ISP. So I take it that my little eutopia wont work then. :( I'd inquire about using a 3rd party ISP. That has not been a problem with Qwest here in Denver. At one point phone companies were required to open their DSL networks to 3rd party ISPs. Not sure if that is still the case or not. But I'm pretty positive that 3rd party ISP is not a problem, at least in the Denver area. You might not get the killer monthly deal, though. But you can get things like static IPs, possibly a /29 or /28 network if you have a good reason / multiple machines. You can typically also run other protocols (e.g. ftp, smtp, telnet, www etc) on a 3rd party ISP / DSL setup. I think they have another deal that doesn't use MSN. Not the killer 19.99 deal though. :( Hope this helps. It did a little, I got a good laugh from your comment about MSN. Alrighty, I'll do more research then work on the logistics of getting service of some kind (maybe that clear wire gizmo). -- Steve Camp Centennial, CO [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, Oct 24, 2005 at 08:47:30PM -0700, Kris Anderson wrote: Hey folks, I'm getting off cable (Comcast and 6 megabits) and either looking at Qwest DSL w/MSN premium or a service called Clear Wire (Wireless internet).

Re: Strange problem with MacOS 9 and isc-dhcpd
Grrr, darn Google, sorry for the top posting. Check is out and read about the dhcp bug and see if it affects you. http://www.macwindows.com/MacOS9.html J. Seth Henry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I realize this is probably not really a FreeBSD question, but I was hoping someone had seen this before. I am running isc-dhcpd 3.0.1.r14_6 on a FreeBSD 4.11-REL machine. This box also serves as the primary gateway router and firewall (and general network services machine). All of my *nix and Windows machines get IP's just fine from the DHCP server, but for some reason, my G3 Mac running Mac OS 9.2.2 won't get its reserved address. Although I use DHCP, I have assigned each machine (MAC address) a fixed IP DNS entry. The DHCP server is to simplify maintenance. So, for example, the file server uses DHCP, but is always mapped to 192.168.1.2. The Mac, however, is either refused, or refuses to take its preset address, and ends up obtaining one in the guest pool. I can upgrade to Mac OS X.2, but have been hesitant, as this is an older machine with only built-in video. I also hate to sink any more money into such an old system. I could just statically map the address, but that would defeat the purpose of the DHCP server - which was to avoid hardcoding network settings. Is there a way to sweet talk either the DHCP server, or the Mac, into taking the reserved address? - Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.
