named: invalid rndc key
Hello! I just tried reloading my nameserver after adding a new domain (zonefile). But then this happened: $ rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid. I've tried using rndc-confgen to create a new rndc.key, as well as rndc.conf and references in named.conf, but the problem is still there.

Filesystem using tags, not folders?
Hello! Just a wild thought here ... After noticing how much simpler it is using tags, for instance with my bookmarks at http://del.icio.us -- compared to hours of frustration trying find the right combination of folders and sub folders in my Firefox' bookmarks.html, I was wondering if the same approach could be used to arrange the UNIX filesystem hierarchy, from the root and up.

All the best, Kyrre I suppose it could work, then again, folders also work, and having tags would basicly be the same as having folders. I don't really see any advantage... I believe microsoft is planning something like this for their new filesystem, winfs Cool, at least you're not asking me to seek help! Well, the thing about UNIX hierarchies is that they are overly complex. Different locations for similar things, same locations for different things, duplicates, unnecessary abbreviations and acronyms and so on and so forth. From an architect's (a real architect's) point of view the typical UNIX hierarchy looks to be structured by some kind of confused creature. Using tags to arrange files instead of folders, files could have multiple tags if they have multiple purposes. And one wouldn't have to design -- and most people don't know how to design -- a proper hierarchical solution everytime something new arrives. Maybe this would even clear up some of the hardships revolving around registries and libraries. Keep it coming!

Offcourse, non-repository development is possible, and I've done it myself without any issues whatsoever, but you're the one who decides what's best for your development.

Script to organize passwd and group
Hello! I was wondering if anybody out there share the same need as I do to better organize /etc/passwd and /etc/group. I would like to see chronologic ordering of UIDs and GIDs, instead of having them sorted by what ports their corresponding daemons run on. Look below how much more flow it all gets. Then, if possible, it would be cool to make 3 distinct classes: 01 Necessities, with 1 to 2 digit IDs (maybe keep nobody seperate) 02 Servers, with 3 digit IDs 03 Users, with 4 digit IDs I'm aware that when adding new users, one would manually have to rearrange, but this is not because you shouldn't, it's because adduser and pw doesn't yet support this kind of order. Here is my ideal setup: -- # cat /etc/.passwd root:*:0:0::0:0:Core:/root:/usr/local/bin/zsh daemon:*:1:1::0:0:System Processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin operator:*:2:2::0:0:Operator:/:/usr/sbin/nologin kmem:*:3:65533::0:0:KMem:/:/usr/sbin/nologin bin:*:4:4::0:0:Binaries:/:/usr/sbin/nologin tty:*:5:65533::0:0:Titty:/:/usr/sbin/nologin news:*:6:6::0:0:News:/:/usr/sbin/nologin man:*:7:7::0:0:Manuals:/usr/share/man:/usr/sbin/nologin nobody:*:5:5::0:0:Unprivileged:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin sshd:*:101:101::0:0:Secure Shell:/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin www:*:102:102::0:0:World Wide Web:/usr/local/www:/usr/sbin/nologin ftp:*:103:103::0:0:File Transfer Protocol:/home/websites:/usr/sbin/nologin mysql:*:104:104::0:0:MySQL:/var/db/mysql:/sbin/nologin proxy:*:105:105::0:0:Packet Filter:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin smmsp:*:106:106::0:0:Sendmail Submission:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/usr/sbin/nologin mailnull:*:107:107::0:0:Sendmail Default:/var/spool/mqueue:/usr/sbin/nologin postfix:*:108:108::0:0:Postfix:/var/spool/postfix:/usr/sbin/nologin cyrus:*:109:109::874400:0:Cyrus:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin spamd:*:110:110::0:0:SpamAssassin:/var/spool/spamd:/sbin/nologin vscan:*:111:111::0:0:Scanner:/var/amavis:/bin/sh clamav:*:112:112::0:0:ClamAV:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin kyrre:*:1001:0::0:0:Kyrre:/home/kyrre:/usr/local/bin/zsh nomad:*:1002:1002::0:0:Hednod:/home/nomad:/usr/local/bin/zsh polvott:*:1003:1003::0:0:Thomas:/home/polvott:/usr/local/bin/zsh nughaud:*:1004:1004::0:0:King:/home/nughaud:/usr/local/bin/zsh -- # cat /etc/group wheel:*:0:root daemon:*:1: operator:*:2:root kmem:*:3: bin:*:4: tty:*:5: news:*:6: man:*:7: nobody:*:5: sshd:*:101: www:*:102: ftp:*:103: mysql:*:104: proxy:*:105: smmsp:*:106: mailnull:*:107: postfix:*:108: cyrus:*:119: spamd:*:110: vscan:*:111: clamav:*:112: nomad:*:1002: polvott:*:1003: nughaud:*:1004: -- The script would rearrange passwd and group into classes, based on a predefined list maybe.

textproc: Typesetting holy content
Hello!
I hope this is not too off topic.
I'm involved in some studies here, on the authority of holy scriptures.
I am trying to transcribe The Noble Qur'an, by some said to be the
most elegant book
ever written, into LaTeX format. That way I can format it the way I wish,
and study it at my own premises.
I began to wget -m http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/
Which gave me 001.qmt.html all the way up to 114.qmt.html.
Next, I ran this:
for i in `find -s . -name *.html`; do w3m -dump $i
${i%.html}.txt; echo ${i%.html}.txt; done
And ended up with 001.qmt.txt all the way up to 114.qmt.txt.
Then, I took 001.qmt.txt, which looked like this:

Basically what I did manually on the first file is what I intend to
do automatically
with all the other files. The format remains the same, however the
quantity of text will differ.
The process, to be done on each of my now *.txt files, would look
something like this:
1
Cut out everything before line 27.
2
Take line 27, and embody it. So if line 27 says HELLO, it will become:
\chapter{HELLO}
3
Cut out everything preceding line 27 until a NNN.NNN (verse
indication) appears.
4
Join the NNN.NNN with the below line and cut out YUSUFALI:
5
Join all lines below the YUSUFALI: line ...
6
Until the PICKTHAL: line appears. Then, delete it and all below
lines until the next NNN.NNN appears.
The reason is that the University of California compilation displays
three different english translations and I'd only be interested in
the first one.
For instance, this:
--
004.054
YUSUFALI: Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty?
but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and
conferred upon them a great kingdom.
PICKTHAL: Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His
bounty hath bestowed upon them? For We bestowed upon the house of Abraham (of
old) the Scripture and wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom.
SHAKIR: Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace?
But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We
have given them a grand kingdom.
--
Would simply become this, in one line:
--
004.054 Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his
bounty? but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and
Wisdom, and conferred upon them a great kingdom.

When the next NNN.NNN appears, treat it like the rest.
Thank you! Really! For bearing with me so far!
Indeed, this is what I wish to

Note that zsh provides symbolic variables for color setting:
autoload -U colors
colors
echo $fg[blue]$bg[red]blue on red!
so you don't have to memorize the numbers. See the zshcontrib
manpage, OTHER FUNCTIONS section.
If the only difference between your root prompt is color, you can
also just set a1,a2,a3 to different values within your if block,
then set PROMPT outside of it.
if [[ $USER == root ]] ; then
a1=%{$fg[cyan]$bg[black]}
else
a1=%{$fg[red]}$bg[black]}
fi
PROMPT=$a1
Hey Dan!
I can't find a list of what colors are available. Besides I doubt
that mine are accounted for.
There are only so many ways to combine 8 colors :) From the manpage:
colors This function initializes several associative arrays to map
color names to (and from) the ANSI standard eight-color terminal
codes. These are used by the prompt theme system (see above).
You seldom should need to run colors more than once.
The eight base colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue,
magenta, cyan, and white. Each of these has codes for fore-
ground and background. In addition there are eight intensity
attributes: bold, faint, standout, underline, blink, reverse,
and conceal. Finally, there are six codes used to negate
attributes: none (reset all attributes to the defaults), normal
(neither bold nor faint), no-standout, no-underline, no-blink,
and no-reverse.
I'd be very grateful if you could at least try this prompt out so you
know my request:
PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;36m%}(%{\e[22;36m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%m%{\e[01;36m%})%{\e[01;36m%}%{\e[01;36m%}('

Just out of curiosity Dan, how does your prompt look like?
Mine's strictly functional. User, host, path in left prompt; error
status in right prompt. Within screen, I add the window number to the
left prompt and the datetime to the right prompt so I know how long
I've left a window idle.
if [[ $+WINDOW = 1 $TERM = screen* ]] ; then
PROMPT=([EMAIL PROTECTED]) %B%/%(#/#/)%b

Hey Dan!
Your prompt is truly wonderful.
It inspired me to grow up, as far as my shell is concerned.
Based on your design, I came up with this:
if [[ `whoami` = root ]] then
a1=%{$fg_bold[red]%}
a2=%{$fg_no_bold[red]%}
else
a1=%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}
a2=%{$fg_no_bold[cyan]%}
fi
if [[ $+WINDOW = 1 $TERM = screen* ]] then
PROMPT=$a1([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [$WINDOW] $a2%~ %{$reset_color%}
RPROMPT=%D{%H:%M} %D{%d/%m}
fi
PROMPT=$a1([EMAIL PROTECTED]) $a2%~ %{$reset_color%}
RPROMPT=%D{%H:%M} %D{%d/%m}
And I think I'm keeping it like that.
Unless you have any suggestions on how to simply its setup?
It takes up a lot of lines, maybe it could shrink a little.
I hope you don't consider me stealing your design.
If that's the case I'll revert back to my old one.
It's kinda nice though

Shell script cannot run on FAT32 partition
Hello!
I have this nice renaming script here.
It sanitizes badly named parts of files and folders.
But when I run it on my FAT32, dual boot transition partition (hehe), it causes
my computer (Pentium 4, 3,2 GHz) to freeze. I vaguely remember seeing some
message before it freezes saying Locking from myself or something like that,
this is not recorded into /var/log/messages.
It is very annoying actually because to rename a bunch of files I first have to
copy them to my UFS2 partition, run the script, and then copy them back to the
FAT32 partition.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks!
Anyway here is the script.

local b1=01;31m
local b2=22;31m

Note that zsh provides symbolic variables for color setting:
autoload -U colors
colors
echo $fg[blue]$bg[red]blue on red!
so you don't have to memorize the numbers. See the zshcontrib
manpage, OTHER FUNCTIONS section.
If the only difference between your root prompt is color, you can
also just set a1,a2,a3 to different values within your if block,
then set PROMPT outside of it.
if [[ $USER == root ]] ; then
a1=%{$fg[cyan]$bg[black]}
else
a1=%{$fg[red]}$bg[black]}
fi
PROMPT=$a1
Hey Dan!
I can't find a list of what colors are available. Besides I doubt
that mine are accounted for.
There are only so many ways to combine 8 colors :) From the manpage:
colors This function initializes several associative arrays to map
color names to (and from) the ANSI standard eight-color terminal
codes. These are used by the prompt theme system (see above).
You seldom should need to run colors more than once.
The eight base colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue,
magenta, cyan, and white. Each of these has codes for fore-
ground and background. In addition there are eight intensity
attributes: bold, faint, standout, underline, blink, reverse,
and conceal. Finally, there are six codes used to negate
attributes: none (reset all attributes to the defaults), normal
(neither bold nor faint), no-standout, no-underline, no-blink,
and no-reverse.
I'd be very grateful if you could at least try this prompt out so you
know my request:
PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;36m%}(%{\e[22;36m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%m%{\e[01;36m%})%{\e[01;36m%}%{\e[01;36m%}('

PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;36m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}\n%{\e[01;36m%}('
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;36m%}%~%{\e[01;36m%})'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '
How about something like:
autoload -U colors
colors
if [[ $USER == root ]] ; then
c1=%{$fg_no_bold[cyan]%} # base color1
c2=%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}# base color2
c3=%{$fg_bold[black]%} # punctuation

PROMPT+=$c2($c1%#$c3:$c1%~$c2) %{$reset_color%}

All you need to do is replace zsh provided format strings to that of
similar bash escape sequences. For example, zsh '%n' (for
username) corresponds to bash '\u', '%~' to '\w', and so on.
I personally put the color, bold, normal, etc. sequences in a
separate file, which is sourced inside the file setting prompt.
That gives less of gobbledygook to parse. For zsh, i have somewhere
in ~/.zshrc ...

Thanks for the tip of having /home as a seperate slice though, I'll treasure it for the rest of my days! Peace, Kyrre Not as you have it now. However, I read a possible solution that I think might work, to you from David Stanford. I think it will work, it just needs a couple of suggestions to flesh it out a bit. I'll requote it here: How large is your /var slice? If it's large enough to fit /home (or at least the files you'd like to save), maybe try booting into single-user mode, mount /usr and /var, wipe out /var, copy the files from /usr/home to /var, and just remember to document what slice /var was. Then you could just reinstall the base system around it using a 6.1-RELEASE CD, no? Just a shot in the dark... === Not a bad shot in the dark, I think it will work if you do it this way: 1) Follow what David said above, be sure to document what slice /var is. You're going to need that information when you reinstall with the 6.1-RELEASE disc. 2) boot up the release disc. Use the standard install method. The first thing you come to is fdisk partitioning. The only thing you're going to do here is make an existing partition bootable, don't change anything else, don't make any new partitions, don't delete any. Just make the one partition bootable, then go on to the next step and install the boot manager. 3) BSDlabel is the next step. Since you didn't change any partitions on your disc, the existing slices should come up. You can remove and recreate all of them except the one you had for /var. You're going to mount that one as /home. At this point, you can create your other slices and mount points. Make sure that the slice you now have as /home is not going have 'newfs' run on it, all the others need to have it done, but not /home. Then go on with the installation. Until you go through the disk label step, you haven't changed anything. Once you get through that step, you're committed, and what will be, will be. So, if you need any clarification, ask for it. Just remember, if you make a mistake, it's unpleasant and you'll be kicking yourself in the ass, but it's not the end of the world.

If you're looking to copy data from (or all of) /home to /var, it obviously won't be able to hold anymore than 248MB; and it seems like you have much more data than that. And avoiding the /usr slice won't help with upgrading as you will need to reinstall a new /usr slice anyway using the 6.1-RELEASE disc. Much of the system is located in /usr... If you have more than 248MB worth of data you need to save, and upgrading is absolutely necessary, I would suggest just ponying up the $40.00 and getting an external hard drive to back up the data. Then do a fresh install. I don't know where /var got into the picture, but what I'm trying to do is to reinstall FreeBSD while keeping /usr/home/awad on ad4s1f intact.

Reading UFS2 from Windows
Hello! I have an awkward setup right here. I have my first harddrive split into one NTFS partition which runs Windows, and one FAT32 partition which serves as a temporary docking station for all my files which I later secure into my 2nd harddrive running FreeBSD. Can I skip this temporary docking station somehow? I was thinking, since UFS2 is an open specification, it shouldn't be impossible creating a Win32 interface that will let me read and write to one. Does anyone know? Thanks, Kyrre ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Converting a zsh prompt to bash
Hello!
I have a real nice prompt in zsh however I feel its setting in /etc/zshrc might
be a bit too much to just specify a prompt.
This one, with a real nice color setting:

Some shell scripts; a more elegant approach?
Hello!
I have a bash script here to clean .txt files.
But I want to incorporate a feature where, if the .txt file is
less than 300 bytes, it will echo $file: Corrupt.
I'm very new to scripting, but I know that this method is not really nice:
--
for file in `find -s . -type f -name *.txt`; do
mv -f $file $file.tmp
tr -d '\r' $file | cat -s | sed -E -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' $file.tmp
echo blank
echo $file.tmp
cat blank $file.tmp $file
rm -f blank $file.tmp
done
for file in `find . -type f -name *.txt -size -300c`; do
echo $file: Corrupt
done
--
I also have another script here that I'm wondering some about:
--
echo Giving files to user $1, group $2.
chown -R $1:$2 *
echo Setting files to $3, folders to $4.
find -s . -type f -exec chmod $3 '{}' \;
find -s . -type d -exec chmod $4 '{}' \;
--
It mass sets permissions and ownerships.
In it, I have to specify $1, $2, $3 and $4. If I just specify let's say
$1 and $2, it will error out because the finds in $3 and $4 aren't
given anything.
How do I avoid this?
Thanks people, I apologize for my ignorance,

Re: Has the port collection become to large to handle.
At 20:28 13.05.2006, fbsd wrote: To all question list readers; Now with 14576 ports in the collection where do you draw the line that its too large to be downloading the whole collection when you just use 10 or 20 of them? The port collection is growing at a ever increasing rate per month. The mass majority of the ports are so special purpose that only a very few people have need of them. Sure there are ways to limit the categories you select to download, but still the size of the most used categories is too large and loaded with ports not commonly used by the general user. So people them use the packages. But the problem with the packages is they are not updated every time changes are made to the port they were created from. Also packages that have dependants like php4/php5 or mysql4/mysql5 are not being updated to use the newer versions of those dependants as they come out. I for one think the port/package collection has already grown to large to handle in it's present state. Users are consuming massive bandwidth to download and it consumes a very large chunk of disk space. Saying nothing about the wasted resources consumed to back it up repeatedly. I have gone to using the package version for everything and only downloading the ports config files for packages that I need to compile from scratch to change some add on function. This methodology has worked fine since FreeBSD version 3.0 as I used each new release of FreeBSD up to 6.1. Now in 6.1 there is problems with packages that have not been recreated using the new system make file. This problem is caused by there being no mandatory requirement on the ports maintainers to recreate the packages any time one of the dependants change or when changes are made to the canned make process or when dependants show up as broken. Yes I know what a large task this is and that it requires a lot of run time to accomplish. So my question is how do we users make our needs known to the ports maintainer group so that will seriously address the problem of the packages being outdated? Are there other people on this list who are dissatisfied with the packages and the problems associated with using packages and ports mixed together? What are your thoughts about requesting the ports group to create a new category containing just the ports most commonly used including their dependents and making this general category the default used to download. This would be a much smaller sized download containing everything necessary to build the most used ports. Many of the dependents are used over and over by many different port applications. This new category would them be given priority in keeping their packages up to date. Could even take this idea one step further and say that only ports in this category will have packages built and keep up to date. All ports not in this special category will not have packages built at all. I think this would help the port group to better manager their people resources and serve the needs of the user community better. Another idea I would like to throw out to the list is how about requesting the ports group to add a function to packages so the installer of the package can select what version of the dependent components should be included in the install. Much like make config does in the ports system? The packages system already automatically launches the download of dependent packages so why not give the installer the option to select which version of the dependent to fetch. Like in php4/5 or mysql4/5 or apache 13/20. This way the package is more flexible and the port maintainer does not have to build a different version of the parent package for each version of the dependant which is available. The whole idea behind this post is to give the general users who reads this questions list an opportunity to brainstorm about ways to make the ports/package collection better and easier to use. This may help the ports group in understanding the needs and direction we the users would like to see the management of the collection to take. If we don't speak up they will just think things are ok as they are now. FreeBSD is a public project. The ports group are not the only users who can give input about the direction and policies concerning the future of the ports/package collection. All feedback welcome. Hello! I would just like to direct you to one of my previous threads: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-March/115402.html It was not warmly welcomed though.

This problem is caused by there being no mandatory requirement on the ports maintainers to recreate the packages any time one of the dependants change or when changes are made to the canned make process or when dependants show up as broken. Yes I know what a large task this is and that it requires a lot of run time to accomplish. So my question is how do we users make our needs known to the ports maintainer group so that will seriously address the problem of the packages being outdated? Are there other people on this list who are dissatisfied with the packages and the problems associated with using packages and ports mixed together? What are your thoughts about requesting the ports group to create a new category containing just the ports most commonly used including their dependents and making this general category the default used to download. This would be a much smaller sized download containing everything necessary to build the most used ports. Many of the dependents are used over and over by many different port applications. This new category would them be given priority in keeping their packages up to date. Could even take this idea one step further and say that only ports in this category will have packages built and keep up to date. All ports not in this special category will not have packages built at all. I think this would help the port group to better manager their people resources and serve the needs of the user community better. Another idea I would like to throw out to the list is how about requesting the ports group to add a function to packages so the installer of the package can select what version of the dependent components should be included in the install. Much like make config does in the ports system? The packages system already automatically launches the download of dependent packages so why not give the installer the option to select which version of the dependent to fetch. Like in php4/5 or mysql4/5 or apache 13/20. This way the package is more flexible and the port maintainer does not have to build a different version of the parent package for each version of the dependant which is available. The whole idea behind this post is to give the general users who reads this questions list an opportunity to brainstorm about ways to make the ports/package collection better and easier to use. This may help the ports group in understanding the needs and direction we the users would like to see the management of the collection to take. If we don't speak up they will just think things are ok as they are now. FreeBSD is a public project. The ports group are not the only users who can give input about the direction and policies concerning the future of the ports/package collection. All feedback welcome. Hello! I would just like to direct you to one of my previous threads: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-March/115402.html It was not warmly welcomed though.
