I have a question about the ports collection. What are the possible
"arguments" to make, and what do they do. For example, I know the 
basic
make install and make clean, but I have heard of make fetch and 
several
others. Is there a way to have a port tell you it's dependencies
without installing them (so you  can tune the installation of each to
your needs)?
May I suggest you read the ports(7) manpage?  That should answer most
of your questions.  The file /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk also contains
useful information.

Thanks, will do.

(Never thought there would *be* a man page :-) )

Apology

2003-03-17 Thread Paul D . Lathrop
I am sorry for the recent slew of emails that hit the list - I was 
having trouble sending them and as you can see I hit send a few more 
times than I should have. Again, my apologies.

Sending mail to freebsd-questions

2003-03-17 Thread Paul D . Lathrop
I was attempting to send a different question to this list, when I ran 
smack dab into a more pressing problem. When I sent the mail, it never 
reached the list. Further investigation found this message in my mail 
logs:

Mar 16 22:10:32 rackspace postfix/smtp[28417]: 8B00131673: 
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mx1.freebsd.org[216.136.204.125], 
delay=11, status=deferred (host mx1.freebsd.org[216.136.204.125] said: 
450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [65.61.155.146] 
(in reply to RCPT TO command))

What exactly does this mean, and how can I fix it? I don't want my mail 
server to be crippled in this manner.

Only one PTR record per ip.  Applications don't know how to handle 
more than one.

, or will it suffice to have a single correct reverse pointer?
yes.

Right now, the reverse zone for the ip that was rejected is delegated 
to rackspace NS, not yours.

We use Rackspace's nameservers to manage our domains. Shouldn't that 
mean it's already configured properly?

Before I go bugging them about it, I want to be as learned as possible. 
Thank you all for your help.

I believe your mail is being rejected by the freebsd.org server due to
'65.61.155.146' not having a reverse pointer.
I run many domains off of this machine - does it have to have a reverse 
pointer that matches the domain name for every domain, or will it 
suffice to have a single correct reverse pointer? In short, I want to 
make sure my server is configured correctly to not appear as a spammer 
or some other nuisance - Web Media Works (the company I work for) is a 
valid (if small) hosting provider.
