pkg_updating -d
Hello, I am new to using pkg_updating -d to look at new entries in /usr/ports/UPDATING. From what I have read I should be able to just use: # pkg_updating -d 20130301 (for example) And that should give me everything in /usr/ports/UPDATING newer than that date. When I run that command I get: root@monitor:/ # pkg_updating -d 20130301 root@monitor:/ # When I try # pkg_updating -d 20130201 root@monitor:/ # pkg_updating -d 20130201 root@monitor:/ # When I try # pkg_updating -d 20130101 root@monitor:/ # pkg_updating -d 20130101 root@monitor:/ # When I try # pkg_updating -d 20121201 root@monitor:/ # pkg_updating -d 20121201 20121211: AFFECTS: users of devel/pcre AUTHOR: bdrew...@freebsd.org The pcre library has been updated to version 8.32.

Some GMirror questions.
Hello All, There are a number of gmirror resources available online but there are a few discrepancies. I thought someone here might be able to shed some light on them. Also, this is on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE. Does creating the mirror need to be done from a Livefs CD (in Fixit mode) or can it be done directly from the OS? The Handbook makes no reference to things like: # Install FreeBSD on to ad0. # Reboot with the Install CD. # Enter Fixit mode. chroot /dist mount -t devfs devfs /dev gmirror load gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0 mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt echo geom_mirror_load=YES /mnt/boot/loader.conf It just indicates jumping right in with gmirror label from the OS (at least it seems to). Also, these next 2 entries in /etc/rc.conf. The Handbook does not make any mention of them. The way the authors state their purpose it would seem as though that should be done in all cases of disk mirroring. Is that true? # tell the system that the swap file will be on a mirror, not a raw drive. echo ’swapoff=”YES”‘ /mnt/etc/rc.conf # need to do this to make dumping cores happy since it won’t use a gmirror’ed drive dumpdev=”NO” Lastly, I know at one point the 'load' algorithm had some performance problems and people were saying to only use 'round-robin'. It seems as though some code was committed back in Dec 2009 to fix it's this. Is there a practical rule of thumb to using 'load' vs 'round-robin'? Is this an accurate way to look at it? Round-robin because if you have two disks in a mirror, they’re both under the same 'load' constraints, and it is best to KISS.

Livefs/fixit
Hello, I have a amd64 8.0-RELEASE-P2 FreeBSD box. I was building a spam/av gateway. Something has happened and there seems to be some OS corruption. I am not sure what did it but symlinks all over the system seem to be gone. Links like /home pointing at /usr/home. The data is still there in /usr/home/user_blah but the link pointing there is gone. There could be more issues that I have not discovered yet. I would like to repair the base os from the 8.0 DVD. I believe I should use the livecd/fixit method. Is this the right way to go about doing this? Are there some concise instructions for this? Will this affect the installed ports, ie. things like getting rid of all the configs in /usr/local/etc, rc.conf, passwd, /etc/groups ? I imagine I will need to reinstall all the ports like one would do after a buildworld. Any help would be appreciated.

Dependency confusion
Hello, I have a number of ports installed on my 7.2Release box. When I issue pkg_info I see that I have both db41-4.1.25_4 and db46-4.6.21.4 installed. Is there an easy way to see which program is linked to which db? Is this some sort of redundant listing and I really only have db4.6 installed or can you have both side by side? My real concern is about which db backend my cyrus-imap-23 is linked against.

All the db* ports install files with the version number embedded in them, so you can have multiple versions installed without conflicts. ldd /path/to/exe will tell you which library a given binary is linked with, and you can run pkg_info -R 'db4*' to determine which ports depend on which versions of db. Thanks Dan and Bill. Dan, ldd and pkg_info -R did the trick. I really appreciate it.

Crusty upgrade (was Make Question)

I realize that the short answer to my question is more than likely to upgrade the OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but I do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows: 5.1 (in fact all 5.X) has reached EOL. The latest ports tree won't compile stuff for 5.X. Use the following line in your ports-supfile to get the last ports tree that was supported in 5.X: *default release=cvs tag=RELEASE_5_EOL instead of *default release=cvs tag=. Still, since this is going to be really old you may still have problems (missing distfiles and so on). But is worth trying if you must stay with 5.X for whatever reason. One thing it won't do is get you any of the bug fixes to the ssh port. As a number of people have pointed out this is turning into a bigger headache than it needs to be. The good thing is that allowed me to get the ok to upgrade the system. This box will be taken out of service in the near future but I do need it to remain functional for a couple months. Is there a recommended upgrade path? I know about cvsup and whatnot. What I mean is are there some blatant gotchas when making this big a jump (5.1p18 - 6.4)? Are there some recommended stops along the way or can it be done in one fell swoop. Is Colin Percival's freebsd-update.sh a viable way to approach this? http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html This is a production box so I want to cover my bases before I jump into this.

OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but
I do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on
this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was
from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree
and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows:

It routinely rejects 50 to 70% of incoming mail with no false positives. It took *very* little tweaking to get it to this point, and it rejects the mail before postfix even deals with it. I use spamassassin as well, but policyd-weight does the heavy lifting. We used to use numerous features in postfix to block mail during different phases of the SMTP handshake, requiring strings meet RFC standards, comply with being FQDNs, resolve, blah blah... It worked great... until... One day, one of my users mailed me stating they were in a lot of trouble: they hadn't been receiving any mails from eBay, specifically contact from buyers/sellers (to negotiate payment means, etc.), and outbid notifications. I went digging through logs, and sure enough found the cause: eBay's HELO strings were what pedants would call absolutely preposterous. They violated 3 or 4 different checks postfix had. At first I tuned postfix to allow certain IP blocks through that check, only to find that it's nearly impossible to determine all of the IP blocks eBay has -- in fact, some of their mail gets siphoned through a third-party mailer, and it looks like that mailer uses IPs all over the place. Meaning: administrative nightmare. There is nothing worse than telling your users Okay, I've fixed it, only to get mail from them 24 hours later stating Umm, no you didn't, and this is really starting to piss me off. I went through the same ordeal with other users and their LiveJournal mail notifications being blocked. The point I'm trying to make is that all this overly-aggressive filtering might work great if you're one guy maintaining your own box only used by you -- and I have a feeling a lot of people who post on this list are exactly that. It's a **completely** different game when you've got other people reliant upon your mail filtering decisions. The problem with blocking mail early on (meaning before it's queued, e.g. SMTP 5xx or 4xx rejections) is that the end-user has no knowledge of this. They simply do not get the mail. They're left in the dark, wondering Did person send the mail? Are they lying to me? What's going on???. It's a very sensitive thing when you're a hosting provider. In the case of my users, they would much rather get the mail and have it incorrectly flagged as spam, than not get it at all. I personally believe this directly reflects on the state of anti-spam affairs: we've gotten so aggressive that *who KNOWS* what kind of legitimate mail we're blocking. That's why it's critically important that whatever tools you use be highly configurable. In the case of policyd-weight, you can configure it so that it passes *everything* through but marks it in such a way that you can filter it appropriately. In my case, I run a small hobby website with a minimal number of email addresses. When I first installed policyd-weight, I watched it closely and discovered it was blocking legitimate mail from sbcglobal because they didn't have their mail servers' dns properly configured. The result was a score just slightly higher than the threshold for rejection (a tenth of a point or two.) I decided to make that particular check worth less overall, and that solved the problem. I have yet to receive a single complaint about mail not getting through, and, although there's only a handful of accounts on the server, we get mail from our website users constantly. I fully understand where you're coming from, Jeremy. We have the same issues at UTD. But for many smaller sites, policyd-weight would be a godsend Is there an opinion on the end of policyd-weight? Specifically on the alternative listed on the main page, postfwd.

boot -s hangs
Hello, I have a FreeBSD install that will hang when trying to enter single user mode. If I use shutdown now from the console the system will return System shutdown time has arrived as expected but it will just hang there indefinitely. If I use option 4 (enter single user mode) from the boot options menu everything seems to boot properly until: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mfid0s1a and that is where it hangs. In both cases it never returns a cursor or the expected enter path statement. In both cases I can ctrl-alt-delete the box once and it synchs disks and nicely reboots. If I go through standard booting it boots just fine. I am a bit stumped by this. Is this some weird raid card issue? I am not sure how to really trouble shoot this. /var/log/messages and /var/log/console do not even show the hung boot as having happened. # uname -a FreeBSD greed.mtmary.edu 7.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Wed Jul 23 14:19:22 CDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/PETE-GENERIC-AMD64 amd64 # dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2008 The FreeBSD Project.

Gmirror Load vs Round-Robin
Is there a best practice usage for these 2 balance options. In reading the man page, freebsd handbook and various how to's I see no clear usage. Or at least it isnt clear to me. When should you use either one? I am setting up a Raid 1 in FreeBSD 7.0-p2 Release with some SCSI drives.

Default path.
Hello. I have a FreeBSD 7.0 p2 box. I have upgraded openssl by installing the latest port. When I use openssl version I am still calling the base /usr/bin/openssl. How do I change my default path to use /usr/local/bin/openssl instead? I am the only one (for now) who logs into this box but would it be better to make this a system wide change or just a per login? I and all subsequent users use tcsh. I have tried adding /usr/local/bin/openssl to path variable in /etc/login.conf. I logged out and back in but it did not work. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: dependencies in portmaster
I am trying to figure out what-all would happen if I were to install
a particular port. IOW I want to do something like
# portmaster {some set of options} name-of-port
and have it report something along the lines of
name-of-port vn #.## requires:
port status
--
dependency-1 OK
dependency-2 need vn 2.22, current 1.05
dependency-3 not installed
...
dependency-2 vn 2.22 requires:
port status
--
dependency-4 OK
dependency-5 need vn 5.03, current 4.57
...
dependency-3 vn #.## requires:
port status
--
dependency-6 not installed
...
I do not want it to actually build or install anything.
If I am understanding the portmaster manpage correctly this is close
to what -n would do, but I don't even want it to do 'make config' --
I just want a report of what would have to be added or upgraded in
order to install the port in question. (I imagine portmaster has
to already be collecting this sort of information internally, the
question is how to get it reported externally.)
BTW I am looking for a solution that does not involve portupgrade,
because I do not have portupgrade installed and before attempting
to install it I would want to see this sort of report regarding it.

If you truly are just looking at the dependency list and do not wish to
have make do anything, wouldn't this do the trick:
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portdependencytree.py
I guess you would need to have an up to date ports tree for this to be
accurate.

Build part of a port.
Hello, I am building a 7.0-RC1 FreeBSD LDAP server. I have installed OpenLDAP from ports and now want to move on to the wed front end. I am using Litespeed as the webserver (built from source), PHP-5 (built from source and customized) and would like to install phpldapadmin. There is a port for it but the port (and some of it's dependencies) will try to install the php5 port and the apache port. Is there a way to install phpldapadmin from ports while telling it (and it's dependencies) I have php5 already installed and not to install apache?

Updating Ports
Hello, Is there a better (I realize everything is relative) option when looking at portupgrade vs portmanager? From what I am reading it seems that portmanager will upgrade and reinstall a port and all it's dependencies no matter if the dependency needs it or not and portupgrade will only do the port specified (unless certain flags are present to do all depend). I am using FreeBSD 6.2-p7.

I am using FreeBSD 6.2-p7. Ca you describe the behavior you would like to see? Robert Huff Now that I have reread what I wrote, it seems a bit unclear. I have not used either service before. Seeing as I am looking at using this in production server environment I would not look at frequently making changes as one might in a desktop application. I am looking for an elegant way to update ports when it is required to. Are there more concerns about one updater over the other? Maybe this is a moot point. If you installed a port with some additional config args can you either supply them the upgrade program or can it be reread from the previous install somehow? I really am just trying to find a relatively simple way to make sure that a port gets upgraded and that I do not lose any of it dependencies in the process.

Extending a slice
Hello, I have and existing FreeBSD 5.4 box with 2 6GB hard drives in a RAID 1 mirror using gmirror. Due to physical space restrictions I cannot put more drives into this box and yet I need more physical drive space. I have 2 blank 40GB drives to replace my 2 current 6GB drives. I broke the mirror and inserted one 40GB drive into the mirror and removed the remaining 6GB drive. So, now I have a 40GB drive with only 6GB's of space on it and 34GB's of unused space. I have and existing mount point in the 6GB of space called /data. I would like to extend the slice and add the 34GB of unused space to the current /data mount point. Does someone even extend an UFS slice? Or do I create a new slice in the unused section and somehow merge the existing slice's /data with the new one? Or am I missing something rudimentary? Any direction would be appreciated. Thank You.

Device Busy
Hello, I am installing a FreeBSD 6.1 i386 machine and using IPF. When I apply some variables to sysctl for IPF I end up with a device busy response. the variables in question are: net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed=1 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosewait=60 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcphalfclosed=300 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpidletimeout=7200 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcplastack=20 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcptimeout=120 net.inet.ipf.fr_udptimeout=120 The problem occurs both on startup with these in sysctl.conf and if I try do enter it manually: imap# sysctl net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed=1 net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed: 120 sysctl: net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed: Device busy These are the same variables that I have been using successfully on other versions of FreeBSD (5.x and 4.x) so I am inclined to think that I am missing something obvious in this latest version. I am running: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2 with: ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.8 (416) Any pointers?
