Re: Certification Program

If there is, what is the procedure to make the exam(s)? I am in Salvador/Bahia/BRAZIL. The short answer is no. Some other people may wish to give a more comprehensive answer. Anyway, the FreeBSD organization is not a company in the same sense as Sun or Microsloth, etc that can set up a program to certify people in its wonders.The FreeBSD organization is a group of volunteers from all over the world that contribute to make the system. Although there is a core group that steers the project and tries to make sure additions and modifications are clean and meet standards, there is nothing that specifies the official way you must use the system. But, I have heard of some organizations that have undertaken to make up some training for FreeBSD and for UNIX in general. It seemd even like one might be in Brazil. But, I do not remember names or addresses. You might do some Google searching for FreeBSD training or something like that and see what you get. jerry The longer answer is yes :) NJIT offers open source unix certification (and it's recognized/endorsed by the FreeBSD Foundation) http://cpe.njit.edu/noncredit/#opensourceunix avaiable both online and in classroom.

more of DAT
I'm currently trying to use a pair of Dell Powervault 120 tape drives. The drives have a changer magazine in which I load 8 cassettes, one of which is the cleaning tape. I've scripted a dump 0, dump 1 progression for a backup rotation that runs for 2 weeks, then a full dump 0, then again with the incremental dumps. When the changer hits the cleaning tape, everything gets stupid. The script/computer/scsi interface can not longer communicate with the drive; I can't eject the tape or do anything until I manually select tape 1 (the cleaning tape is in position 8) and start the process over. Is there some mt command I am missing or some other way to communicate with the drive while it still has the cleaning tape in it? I'm trying to get this to work without removing the cleaning tape from the magazine, but I don't know if it's possible.

libXi.so.6 missing?
After portupgrading linux_base-8 to the 02 revision, neither I or my linux binaries can find the /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 file, or the /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 file. I know that these files can be 6.0 and/or 6.2, but they should live in the above paths, too, and they just aren't there. After creating a package of the 01 version of the linux_base-8 port and installing it, the above files are back in their place and linux-mozilla-devel works once again. Those missing files also broke my Linux OpenOffice 1.1 installation (and probably others, but I haven't checked); the reinstall of the older package fixed OO, too. Fortunately, I had a 4.9-STABLE machine that I had not yet updated to the latest linux_base-8 02 version (still 01), and I created a package from that machine and installed it on 2 other 4.9-STABLE machines. I also have 2 afflicted 5.2-BETA machines that i need to roll back to the linux_base-8 01 version. Reinstalling linux_base-8 02 did not restore the missing files, so I don't think something else hosed my installation, but I could be wrong. Will the linux_base-8-8.0_1.tgz package I created on the 4.9-STABLE machine install (and work) on 5.2-BETA? I suppose I could try it and see if it works, but I haven't had time to, yet.

On just one of my servers, apache stopped portupgrading (within the past several weeks); it hadn't really grabbed my attention until a power failure in Newark on Wednesday made my operating version of apache+mod-ssl unrunnable (or so I thought) and I actually had to pkg_delete apache from the machine and then do a pkg_add -r apache+mod_ssl to get a working version back. The upshot of the apache blasting power failure was that it wasn't apache at all that was the actual culprit. When the machine rebooted and came back online, for some odd reason, portsentry grabbed port 80 and wouldn't let go. While apachectl startssl didn't return a command line error, the /var/log/ httpd-error logfile recorded that the port was already in use. ps -ax |grep http only returned grep http. I found the problem with netstat or sockstat (I forget now, it was a Real late night, that night), killed portsentry, restarted apache, and restarted portsentry. All has been well since. Now, though, I know what to do to properly portupgrade apache next time.

Re: how to stop resolv.conf from being updated
A sledgehammer approach to make it work:
Comment out the following lines from /sbin/dhclient-script
make_resolv_conf() {
if [ x$new_domain_name_servers != x ]; then
if [ x$new_domain_name != x ]; then
echo search $new_domain_name /etc/resolv.conf
else
rm /etc/resolv.conf
fi
for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
echo nameserver $nameserver /etc/resolv.conf
done
fi
}
This will prevent dhcp from making a new /etc/resolv.conf file (on boot,
re-boot). Whatever nameserver you enter in /etc/resolv.conf will stay put.
(I had to take this approach some years ago when I was using an apple airport
basestation as my gateway, and the dhcp server software kept assigning
10.0.1.1 as my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.)
Check the dhclient.conf man page, too, for less drastic measures.
