RE: courier confusion
From: Mauricio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: courier confusion Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 15:02:07 -0500 I installed the courier mail server using portupgrade in this freebsd 5.1 box. pkg_info reports it as courier-ldap-mysql-pgsql-0.44.0 Courier SMTP IMAP POP3 HTTP mail server suite For starters, I would suggest upgrading the port to 44.2 which is the latest. so, I then decided to confiigure it so I can actually use it. From the documentation, most of the files I need to access are in /usr/lib/courier. But, when I look for the "courier" directory, I find it in many places but the one that is mentioned above: Courier is designed so you can install it basically anywhere and what you have found are the FreeBSD default location. daffy# find / -name courier -print /usr/local/etc/courier This is where you will configure courier. I suggest you read /usr/local/libexec/courier and /usr/local/libexec/authlib is also courier :) /usr/local/sbin/courier See Install - post installation checks. /usr/local/share/doc/courier This are the docs for courier. You certainly want to read INSTALL and FAQ at a minimum and that should answer most of your questions. They exist in both this and the html directory. /usr/local/share/courier Mostly configuration executibles for configuring Courier. /usr/ports/mail/courier /var/mail/courier /var/spool/courier daffy# Now, that makes me feel a bit concerned. I have no problem with it sitting on /usr/local, but since the docs mention a lot the lib directory, and I cannot find it, I get concerned. Further down in the documentation, there is a mention of the file /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail. Looking for sendmail, I found it everywhere but inside a courier directory: See: /etc/mail/mailer.conf should give courier paths also you might want to do a ls -l `which sendmail` should help understand. daffy# find / -name sendmail -print /usr/libexec/sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail /usr/local/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/share/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/file/Magdir/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/include/sendmail /usr/src/etc/rc.d/sendmail /usr/src/etc/sendmail /usr/src/share/sendmail /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail /usr/ports/mail/sendmail /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/sendmail /usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail /var/tmp/temproot/usr/libexec/sendmail /var/tmp/temproot/usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail /var/tmp/temproot/usr/share/sendmail /etc/rc.d/sendmail /etc.old/rc.d/sendmail daffy# Am I missing something here? Because, it does feel like courier's sendmail may have been installed wherever it felt doing so. Or nowhere at all. =( Courier's sendmail in in /usr/local/bin/sendmail. I suggest you read the courier docs and you might want to do man mailer.conf I'm running courier from the 44.2 port every since it was updated with no problems what so ever.

"How can I delete all lines from /^PATTERN to EOF??" I think that I read it wrong. Either way he has a solution ;-) Unless I'm reading it wrong, he wants to *keep* everything from the beginning of the file to /^PATTERN/ and NOT keep everything else all the way to EOF. The diff. between what I suggested and the what other suggested is that using 'q' would be inclusive, while the others are exclusive of the line matched by /^PATTERN/. However, it wasn't clear which he wanted.

But I'm still trying to come up with good habits/methods/instructions for updating routines for both myself and my colleagues who also want to switch to FreeBSD. I now understand how to use cvsup to keep my src and ports tree current. I know how to use pkg_add -r to install new sotware, or go into /usr/ports/whatever to make install. I know how to do portupgrade to upgrade my installed ports, how to pkg_version -v to see what's out of date with my tree, and how to cronjob cvsup to keep my trees current. (I still need to play more with make world and whatnot) But what do you all out there in BSD land do to stay current as a practice? I'm looking at this on two fronts: FreeBSD on our laptops (There will be at least 3 of us with T23's, and I also plan on migrating most, if not all of my servers from Linux to FreeBSD). If you have the resources, you should consider using a dedicated machine for compiling. With ~10 laptops, a bunch of workstations and about 20-25 servers running FreeBSD we use 2 dedicated machines that does nothing but download sources and compiles them. One is tracking 4.x-STABLE and the other 5.x-RELEASE. Anyone can nfs mount choosen directories from these machines and install the pre-compiled software. It works extremely well, once the users have learned the correct process. I'm doing something very similar with a dedicated server and for ports I do a daily upgrade with portupgrade -Rruap to upgrade and build a package that the users can then install because I have some very slow machines that would take days to build some of the larger ports and by just having the server's /usr/ports nfs mounted on their machines they can upgrade quickly by just using the -P option to portupgrade. I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it but it has worked well for me for sometime. Good luck, _ There are now three new levels of MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!

Note that portupgrade(1) and pkg_deinstall(1) do this automatically whenever you update a package containing share objects or libraries -- check out /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and the output of 'ldconfig -r' for details. There's also the sysutils/libchk port which will help you find binaries that link against those old library versions. Thanks, Matthew. In this case the box and installation are new and the programs are old. I'm going to check out libchk. In fact, I'm installing it as I write. It sounds like something very useful that is missing in my took kit. Thanks again, les _ Has one of the new viruses infected your computer?

No. The version number on shared libraries is changed when the ABI (application binary interface) presented by the shlib changes. Your application can only load a shared library of the same ABI version as the one it was compiled against. Including the ABI version number in the shlib file name makes this explicit and helps weed out these sort of problems. The ABI can change independently of the API (application programming interface) -- so that exactly the same source code can be compiled and linked against either shlib version. Or, at least, that's the theory: not all shlib producers get it right, confusing the shlib version with the software version -- ever wonder why libjpeg.so (part of the graphics/jpeg port) is at libjpeg.so.9 ? Some producers will only update the number when there's a change that breaks backwards compatibility but not when it breaks forwards compatibility. (The FreeBSD system libc.so works in this way: there were some important functions added to libc somewhere between 4.0 and 4.2 which means that some programs compiled under 4.3 or greater won't work on 4.0-4.2, but compile the same programs under 4.2 and they'll still continue working under later system versions.) This problem is why you should always take any advice to solve shlib incompatability problems by making sym-links to differently named versions of the shlib with a huge grain of salt. It might work, but chances are various stuff will fail in inexplicable ways. The only real cures are either to keep multiple ABI versions of shlibs around, or to recompile everything that uses that shlib. THanks a lot, Matthew. I assumed as much. I think I am going to start backing up some of my more frequent libs to a compat directory. That seems to be the least bad solution.

results of compiling with -lmysqlclient
I just realized that when I compile with -lmysqlclient I am adding the current version to my program or in my specific case libmysqlclient.so.10. When I upgrade, as I just did, to libmysqlclient.so.12, I have to recompile. Is there not a way to use libmysqlclient.so that is a link to the current active version or is there some reason why that would not be a good solution. I seldom see problems with backwards compatability and I have been know to create a link from the current library to the missing name without problems when I haven't had the source handy.

This company and > every user, uses Office daily, especially excel. I've never done this, but OpenOffice is such a large application that this might not be such a swell idea. On my Athlon 750 with U2W SCSI, OpenOffice 1.1 takes 20 seconds to load from the hard disk. I couldn't guess how long it would take trying to pull it over the network, but I'm sure it would be a lot longer. Also take into consideration the fact that, unless your office is very well funded, you're probably don't have the newest equipment. If this is the case, you could consider running all the desktops as local thin clients. When a user logs in, they're really just logging in remotely to an application server where all the real work work is done. I would love to do that, but I have no idea where to start although Adrian was kind enough to send be a couple of links, I'm not sure I get it yet. If you have any other tips/links etc. they would sure be appreciated. Advantages: - you only have to regularly maintain the application servers - "outdated" hardware works just fine for the thin clients as everything is run on the server - users access their data and do their work from any machine (also reduces "my machine" syndrome common in some workplaces) Sounds great to me in my ignorance.:-) Disadvantages: - Allowing users to save things to floppy or CD could be slightly problematic (ditto for playing video and sound) - if all 40 desktops are in the same office/area, you'll probably have to set up more than one application servers and work out a solution for load-balancing and keeping them in sync - if your users use large apps like OpenOffice, you might need pretty hefty servers, especially in the memory department. However, it will still be less memory than what would be required to run OpenOffice locally on all 40 machines The client/server approach may not end up being the best solution for your specific situation, but at least it's something to think about. I've always heard good things from those who've implemented similar solutions in their organizations. Thanks, Charles. It is certainly something to think about and test. lee _ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account is over limit?

The local hard disk has a much higher respond rate. Personaly, i would go for the independed workstation. Yes, Alex, I think you are probably right.

Changing a company from 100% Windows to 100% FreeBSD.
I am switching about 40 desktop's running different versions of windows over to freebsd. One of the primary requirements is OpenOffice-1.1 and I've always run it locally on my laptop. I'm considering running it over the LAN which would mean that I suppose that I would NFS mount the binary and do the network install.

This company and every user, uses Office daily, especially excel. Also if anyone has any other suggestions that would simplify anything in the chain from the initial installation to periodic upgrading, it would be highly appreciated. I'm planning on having a central server that will be cvsuping updated sources and ports daily, making world and portupgrade -Rruap periodically. I plan to NFS mount /usr/ports and not have local copies to not have to update them. I'm thinking that I could then, fairly easily upgrade the other machines by just installing the packages when needed. It could also serve as a local repository for updating the operating system or I suppose that I could also NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj and do an installworld to upgrade, too. Again any opinions, observations or suggestion are highly appreciated.
