portupgrade 'upgrades' ports that are not installed

2007-08-02 Thread User Nocturnal
Hi

First of all i just went through the UPDATING instructions to upgrade my xorg 
to 7.2. It did not go very well because i can't finish the upgrade process. 
When i try to pkg_delete xorg-manpages it says they're required by the xorg-6.9 
port. 

Now as far as i can see everything i'm running is in /usr/local and X -version 
says 7.2 everywhere. But there are still some 6.9 ports left and i can't tell 
the difference between which ones i can delete and which ones i'm supposed to 
keep. 

 # pkg_info | grep xorg
 xorg-6.9.0  X.Org distribution metaport
 xorg-apps-7.2   X.org apps meta-port
 xorg-cf-files-1.0.2_2 X.org cf files for use with imake builds
 xorg-clients-6.9.0_2 X client programs and related files from X.Org
 xorg-docs-1.3,1 X.org documentation files
 xorg-documents-6.9.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org
 xorg-drivers-7.2X.org drivers meta-port
 xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
 xorg-fonts-7.2  X.org fonts meta-port
 xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
 xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0_1 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
 xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.9.0_1 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
 xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 X.Org TrueType fonts
 xorg-fonts-type1-6.9.0 X.Org Type1 fonts
 xorg-fontserver-6.9.0_1 X font server from X.Org
 xorg-libraries-7.2_2 X.org libraries meta-port
 xorg-manpages-6.9.0 X.Org library manual pages
 xorg-nestserver-6.9.0 Nesting X server from X.Org
 xorg-printserver-6.9.0 X Print server from X.Org
 xorg-protos-7.2 X.org protos meta-port
 xorg-server-1.2.0_2,1 X.Org X server and related programs
 xorg-server-6.9.0_1 X.Org X server and related programs
 xorg-vfbserver-6.9.0 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org

This is what it looks like after the upgrade. 

Also i'm not sure where to go for help with portupgrade but here seems like a 
good place to start. 

Now after i've run portupgrade -aP for the first time i tried to run it again 
just to see what it missed because i can't say the process progressed without 
errors, there were tons of them. Though this time i starts with a port i don't 
even have installed, gutenprint-base. 

It does not exist in /var/db/pkg, pkg_info doesn't find it and i can't make 
deinstall in the ports metadir because it's not installed. Yet portupgrade 
insists on 'upgrading' it by installing it for me. I'm thinking maybe it's a 
dependency of some newly upgraded port but i don't know how to make portupgrade 
show me that information.

Re: Which file to request SIOCGIFMAC on?

2007-02-21 Thread nocturnal

Hi

Well that's weird, is MAC defined by default at all? I tried searching 
for the definition but couldn't find it.


I never thought it would be this hard just to get the ethernet address 
from an ethernet interface in FreeBSD. I think i'll take a look at the 
netlib source next, something tells me it will be easier to just 
plagiarize their method than going through the kernel source any more.

So far i've been trying to look at the source for ifconfig to figure out
how it gets the hardware address. Of course it uses SIOCGIFMAC but i
can't find the socket it opens because i can't find where it uses the
maclabel_status function.


The problem isn't with the socket type or options.
If you debug ifconfig, you'll find out that the ioctl call always
returns -1, and the program goes on to the "goto mac_free" line.

Take a look at /usr/src/sys/net/if.c, line 1258

Should we deduce that the particular ioctl isn't supported?

P.S. I'm forwarding this to freebsd-hackers@ too, so sorry for cross

Which file to request SIOCGIFMAC on?

2007-02-20 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I'm trying to get the ethernet address and from the manuals i understand 
that i need the ifreq structure for this. So i'm trying to request 
SIOCGIFMAC with ioctl on a socket of type SOCK_DGRAM.


Now i couldn't figure out from the manuals which format but i've tried 
PF_LOCAL, PF_INET and AF_INET. With PF_LOCAL i get the error "Operation 
not supported" from ioctl but with AF_INET or PF_INET i get "Invalid 
argument".


This is a snippet of code that i use to get the ethernet address. 
Earlier code has already verified the char *ifname which contains the 
interface name.


[..]
int if_socket;
struct ifreq ifr;

memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
[..]
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifname, sizeof(ifr.ifr_name));

if((if_socket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) {
perror("socket: ");
exit(-1);
}

if(ioctl(if_socket, SIOCGIFMAC, &ifr) < 0) {
perror("ioctl: SIOCGIFMAC: ");
exit(-1);
}
[..]

I know the rest of the code works fine because this is something i'm 
adding to a working program. Also it's obviously stopping at the ioctl 
since i get the error "ioctl: SIOCGIFMAC: : Invalid argument".

Re: packet destination from pcap

2007-02-14 Thread nocturnal

Hi

After i wrote the e-mail to the list i figured out how to get the 
ethernet destination address of the packet. I'm not sure but this might 
help me because i need to figure out if the packet is moving towards me 
or away from me on the interface i've chosen. So i can compare this with 
the ethernet address of my chosen interface and figure out where it's 
going.


Stop me if i'm wrong. :)

This is a decision made by the routing table, so there's no good way to

the IP layer.


I'm thinking i need to open two pcap sessions with two different
filters because the application i'm writing has a need for
distinguishing between packets going to a specified ip-address and
those going from it.


Well, the destination IP address should be easy to grab.  Even if you do
get hold of that though, you may have to listen to multiple pcap
connections to find out where the routing decisions send the packet on
its way out.

packet destination from pcap

2007-02-04 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I'm sniffing packets with pcap but i need information about where the
packet is going. So far i haven't found any structure or any other way
to get this information from looking at the pcap(3) manual and the
pcap.h header file. I have not had a chance to go through the source for
pcap yet because i have been offline for a while with no source on my
laptop.

I'm thinking i need to open two pcap sessions with two different filters
because the application i'm writing has a need for distinguishing
between packets going to a specified ip-address and those going from it.
 I doubt it should have to come to that though so that's why i ask here
first.

I could not reach the tcpdump list so i thought i'd ask here since it
uses the bpf. Might be a long shot.

LSI MegaRAID 1068 mfi(4) 6.1-RELEASE

2006-12-18 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I'm trying to boot up a Dell PE 860 with what dell claims to be a LSI 
MegaRAID 1068 controller using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. I've found listposts 
claiming that this worked as soon as FreeBSD 4.11 using the mpt driver. 
It seems as if the mfi driver is the one to use these days.


I can't get it working though, it constantly says no disks were found. 
This driver should be compiled into GENERIC right? Has anyone else on 
the list tried using this driver for the LSI card?

Network dies after a while with high torrent load

2006-10-07 Thread nocturnal

Hi

This is the second time i've posted this to the list and explaining why 
will also explain some of the background for the problem. The last time 
i was having these problems was when i was downloading a certain thing 
each week using torrent, rtorrent running as a user. I stopped doing 
this for a while this summer but now i'm at it again and the problem is 
back. I think it's because this particular torrent has a lot of seeds 
and transfers a lot of data, very fast to me. I'm limited to 10Mbit/s 
here at home and ifstat -b reports over 1 constantly for a while 
before my network just dies and no data at all gets sent. At this point 
i can fix the problem by running dhclient on my network card again. 
During one transfer of around 300MB i had to run dhclient at least 15 
times.


I have a IBM ThinkPad R40 laptop with a Intel Pro 10/100 ethernet card 
using the fxp driver. Right now i'm running 6.1-RELEASE but i've been 
running FreeBSD on this laptop since i had 4.9-RELEASE. I can recreate 
the problem anytime i find a torrent that has enough seeds so that i can 
maintain the maximum speed for 10-15 seconds. The time it takes for my 
network to die is very random. Sometimes my net doesn't die at all if 
the torrent can't maintain over 1bit/s, it only has to drop once in 
ifstat for the network to handle it.


I'm about to call my ISP and complain because i doubt this is a FreeBSD 
problem but i would like to have some confirmation from others on the 
list that it is possible to transfer 10 or more Mbit/s with much torrent 
traffic using the fxp driver in FreeBSD. Another reason i suspect 
something with my ISP is the fact that it dies at the speed i pay them 
for, it could be some error in the equipment they use to cap my bandwidth.


I have no messages to show and i'm afraid i forgot to check ifconfig 
while the network was down but ifstat which is running constantly in a 
small window on my desktop reports 0.00 in and out while the network is 
down.

Re: Alt Gr key troubles in FreeBSD

2006-07-17 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I'm sorry for the late reply but i thought i had sent you an e-mail when 
actually i had not.


I tried all the things you mentioned and i discovered that the problem 
can easily be reproduced in any application. It's simply a matter of me 
not letting go of the shift key fast enough. I reproduce it by typing 
any number of characters in caps with the shift key down and then 
directly switching to pressing the alt gr key and hitting the 8 
character for example in order to produce the [ character on Swedish 
keyboards. This is when the output becomes silent and nothing happens.


I tried on a co-workers computer which runs Windows and it's the same on 
that system. It's been a while since i properly used the Windows system 
so i had forgotten that it was like that there to.


No reply is required to this thread as i have found out that this is 
just the way the driver works on both FreeBSD and Windows systems. So i 
have my answers.

2nd: Try to type all these characters with the correct key-combinations,

Then maybe someone can point you closer to the solution.

Re: Alt Gr key troubles in FreeBSD

2006-07-11 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I was afraid you wouldn't understand how the problem works. The chacters 
work on this computer, or i wouldn't be able to work daily with it, but 
at times they just get stuck and refuse to work temporarily until i let 
go of the alt gr key and try again. At rare times i can let go of the 
alt gr key to try again but they wont work until after two or three 
attempts. I doubt this is happening at random so i would like to say it 
happens when i type fast and change key combinations fast but sometimes 
it happens when i type slower to. I think it has something to do with me 
using shift just before i switch over and use alt gr, i think i'm simply 
switching over too fast. Actually, now that i said that, i just tried it 
in the thunderbird application where i'm writing this e-mail and i was 
able to reproduce the problem by typing a bunch of uppercase characters 
holding the shift key down and then directly trying to type [ using alt 
gr+8 on my keyboard. What happened was i got no character output for the 
[ character and after holding it for a while i heard a beep, then i let 
go of alt gr and 8 was output.


It's probably because shift+8 is supposed to produce the ( character 
while alt gr+8 produces the [ character so there's some kinda conflict 
when i don't let go of shift fast enough. My theory is that i was so 
used to Windows after years of using it that this happened to me a lot. 
I also suspect that the Windows driver that handles this is more 
developed in the sense that you can hit shift+alt gr+8 but if those keys 
have no kombination in that order it simply takes the last keys which 
had a combination and uses them, alt gr+8 that is. I'm just guessing of 
course.

Dead keys AFAIK refers to the keys you normally use to compose other 
characters with, such as ^ which you normally use to write a character 
like â or ~ to write ñ. The keys you refer to, {},[] are not "dead" keys.


While I have had problems with _dead keys_ in some programs, I have 
never had problems with the characters you mention (I use a danish 
keyboard).


One thing I have noticed is that this may be application specific, you 
may be able to write the character in one program under X but not in 
another. I had for example a problem writing ñ with eterm while it 
worked perfectly in xterm.


Some programs allow or require you to set these things separately, for 
example xemacs and thunderbird.


I'd love it if someone could point me in the right direction because i 
suspect this could be something i need to take up with the x.org people.


First check if this problem occurs in all applications or just some 
applications, do also try xterm and vi under xterm. Also, try on a plain 
console without X. And check your keyboard setting in your XF86Config.


If the problem is specific to some applications, post which.

Alt Gr key troubles in FreeBSD

2006-07-10 Thread nocturnal

Hi

These problems have been going on ever since i first started using 
FreeBSD frequently with 4.10-RELEASE. Before that i used Windows to 
write software and would usually upload it onto a FreeBSD ftp server. 
This was no problem for me in Windows but as soon as i made the switch 
to FreeBSD at work and started actually writing code in FreeBSD 8 hours 
a day, 5 days a week, i noticed major issues with Alt Gr keys. I think 
they're called deadkeys in the X.org configuration. It's mainly because 
i'm from sweden and have all the important characters like {, [, ], }, 
among others, on keys that require the Alt Gr key to be pressed for me 
to use them. It's hard to reproduce the problem as sometimes i can type 
at very high speed and still not have a problem when i hit an alt gr 
character and other times i type really slow but get stuck on the alt gr 
characters.


What happens is that the character just doesn't work, once the problem 
happens i can very often just hold the alt gr key and keep hitting the 
other key multiple times without anything at all happening, at those 
times i actually must let go of the alt gr key in order to continue 
typing. Even if the problem is very hard for me to reproduce i am 100% 
sure it is a problem because like i said, i do this every day of my life 
and i know this happens. My boss has discovered it to, he does not write 
as much code as i do but sometimes he writes a perl program or two and 
he has the same problems. I think maybe one of the reasons i haven't 
heard much about this problem could be that i use a Swedish keyboard 
layout and require the deadkeys, this combination along with someone who 
writes as much code as i do and cares enough about the problen to solve 
it might be rare so i haven't been able to find anything at all about 
this problem on search engines like Google.


I would love to solve the problem though, even if i've learned to live 
with it, it's the most annoying thing ever when you get a good flow 
going in your code writing and suddenly it all gets stuck on some damn 
alt gr key.


I'd love it if someone could point me in the right direction because i 
suspect this could be something i need to take up with the x.org people.

Yes i suspected a bug when i first saw this because of what you say.

You said it doesn't seem to affect the web server, That everything

In cases where interrupts reach 25%, the load is very easily noticable,
that means you have trouble typing...I would say that such a percentage

Please turn off word wrapping on your mail program when
you send such output. Or send as attachment. Well, normal
number of interrupts, a lot of time in kernel, quite a few context
switches

send as attachment  "top -n -S -I -d 10" please
There is also a -m in 6.x, don't know about 5.3-R, but it would be
interesting if it exists

from top manual:
   -mdi

Re: Interrupt using all the CPU

2006-07-04 Thread nocturnal

Hi

The -m argument exists in 5.3-RELEASE, thank you. I've attached one file 
with -mio and the other without. With -mio it just output some extra 
stuff at the beginning so i don't know how much it matters or maybe i 
did something wrong.

Hmm.. There seems to be nothing wrong with these numbers. If you were
suffering from an interrupt storm I would have expected much larger 
numbers

in the "rate" column. The column "rate" shows the average number of
interrupts / second. In total your system handles about 120 interrupts /
second, so that shouldn't be a problem.


I have the feeling that rate is calculated like this:
number of interrupts since boottime / seconds of uptime


OK.


so, this won't help if his is having now an interrupt storm
while most of the time the system is interrupted ~ 120 times
per second


An interrupt storm on what, though?

The ~100 interrupts per second from the clock on IRQ0 are absolutely 
normal with HZ=100; the only other candidate seems to be the combination 
of vr0 & USB controller on IRQ 12.


If it's possible to disable the USB controller for a bit in the BIOS, it 
would be interesting to see whether that makes any difference.  You can 
probably kill the parallel port, too.


It's also interesting to note that IRQ 8, the RTC, seems to be mostly 
idle-- normally that fires at stathz=128...check "sysctl kern.clockrate".


systat -vmstat $time shows interrupts per second regarding the last 
$time seconds


Right, although the output from "vmstat 1" would survive being pasted 
into email better, I suspect.

Are you using "powerd" perhaps? Could it be that your system goes into a too

Re: Interrupt using all the CPU

Hi

No powerd running and i've never heard of that daemon. It's a pretty 
basic noname machine acting as a small scale webserver and a non-public 
nameserver. I've asked aroung and nobody can remember how long it's been 
like this so it's very possible that it's been acting like this since we 
installed it but i highly doubt it because we've had problems with it in 
the past and usually when something happens you check top at least once. 
It doesn't have much traffic either, if you shutdown the webserver the 
traffic is almost none, mostly arp and DNS traffic.


CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  100% interrupt,  0.0% 
idle

Mem: 130M Active, 355M Inact, 108M Wired, 22M Cache, 73M Buf, 5668K Free
Swap: 329M Total, 316K Used, 329M Free

This is what it usually looks like, or here in an iostat view, in case 
it helps.

Try "vmstat -i" to show you what device is causing the interrupts.

Re: Chrooted ftpd users can't access system time.

2006-06-29 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I use /etc/ftpchroot to chroot the users but i don't think i should be 
forced to link a file into each users home directory. That's not only a 
lot of users but there will also be questions from users about what kind 
of file it is and what it's doing there. I would appreciate any other

I believe you merely need to copy or link the system's /etc/localtime to 
the effective /etc of the chroot tree.


But that's from memory, could only be theory too.

Re: Net dies after many torrent packets, BUG?!

Hi

Not sure how to answer your question but the network dies in a way that 
i can't send any packets out or recive any packets in. What usually 
helps is to run dhclient fxp0 on my card again. My friend said he used 
to bring the card down and then up again and it would solve the issue.

One thing i should have mentioned is that this only happens with

Using scp, i have not tried with ftp and very large files. When i
transfer large files from work with scp i can maintain a speed of
10Mbit+ for long periods of times without problems. This problem has
only happened because of rtorrent using a lot of bandwidth. And as i
said earlier it happens when using less bandwidth to.


Is you computer behing a dsl modem/router which does NAT?
Sometimes modem/routers cannot handle the number of connections
torrents do and die. And most of the time you cannot have a clue, everything
will look normal, but it won't do NAT.

Also, what do mean when you say "net dies"? Do you mean internet dies
or your LAN dies?

Not sure if this is already posted or already reported as a bug

I have reproduced this problem a few times but it has some special
requirements. For example i download a torrent from a very fast peer
in the rtorrent client. I have reproduced this with both rTorrent
0.4.5 -
libTorrent 0.8.5 and two earlier versions which i don't remember. My
friend is using the same versions as i am now and reported no problems
in the latest development versions, he only started using them
today. I have a 10/10Mbit connection at home and this happens when
rtorrent is downloading at max speed. It varies somewhere around
7-10Mbit but never over 10Mbit by much. My friend only has a capacity
of 1Mbit but got the same problem.

This is why i'm reporting this because if it turns out that this can
be reproduced by sending speciall crafted packets or packets in a
special order then i guess it's pretty serious. I highly doubt this
but still, a user process should not kill the net like rtorrent has
done.

Both me and my friend were running FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE when this
happened.

I was not going to report this but a friend just told me he gets the
exact same results on FreeBSD 6.0 so i felt i should tell someone.

Re: Net dies after many torrent packets, BUG?!

2006-06-01 Thread nocturnal

Hi

One thing i should have mentioned is that this only happens with 
rtorrent. For example i can transfer in 10Mbit+(not much plus) from 
work, where i have no bandwidth restriction, for hours without problems. 
Using scp, i have not tried with ftp and very large files. When i 
transfer large files from work with scp i can maintain a speed of 
10Mbit+ for long periods of times without problems. This problem has 
only happened because of rtorrent using a lot of bandwidth. And as i 
said earlier it happens when using less bandwidth to.

I have reproduced this problem a few times but it has some special

0.4.5 - 
libTorrent 0.8.5 and two earlier versions which i don't remember. My

friend is using the same versions as i am now and reported no problems
in the latest development versions, he only started using them
today. I have a 10/10Mbit connection at home and this happens when
rtorrent is downloading at max speed. It varies somewhere around
7-10Mbit but never over 10Mbit by much. My friend only has a capacity
of 1Mbit but got the same problem.

This is why i'm reporting this because if it turns out that this can
be reproduced by sending speciall crafted packets or packets in a
special order then i guess it's pretty serious. I highly doubt this
but still, a user process should not kill the net like rtorrent has
done.

Both me and my friend were running FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE when this happened.

I was not going to report this but a friend just told me he gets the
exact same results on FreeBSD 6.0 so i felt i should tell someone.

How to get the login class name from a uid?

2006-04-12 Thread nocturnal

Hi

Reading the login_cap(3) manual i thought i would get default returned 
if no other login classes are found but it's possible i misunderstood 
the manual. A sample of code i'm using is below. The user running the 
application is in a login class other than default, i've verified this 
in the master.passwd files class field. I have also rebuilt the termcap 
database for login.conf after adding the class. Right the new class only 
has a simple :tc=default: to test if it works. The code below outputs 
only (null).


 uid_t uid = getuid();
 struct passwd * pw = getpwuid(uid);
 login_cap_t * lc = login_getuserclass(pw);
 printf("%s\n", lc->lc_class);

Thank you in advance for any help.

List & Description of process STATE modes

2006-03-13 Thread nocturnal

Hi

I'm looking for a list with descriptions of all the modes that appear in 
STATE when running top(1). I'm talking about kqread, select, nanslp, 
piperd and so forth. Someone on Freenode IRC told me to search for 
msleep and tsleep in the kernel source but i found nothing i could use 
in the results. If someone could help me find a list of all the 
available modes i could put together a description for them myself.


I've tried searching the kernel source code for these different modes 
but they are used in so many places.

Hosting a mirror?

Open tty limit of 32?

2005-04-27 Thread nocturnal
Hi
Recently, helping a friend setup a shellserver, i noticed some kind of 
limit on the number of open ttys. I count 32 open ttys by remote users 
before users start getting locked out. Any user trying to login after 
"ls -la /dev/tty* | grep -v wheel | wc -l" starts returning 32 get the 
following message along with a distorted terminal that is completly locked.
"Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor)."

There are random users using ttys, some two ttys and others maybe more 
but it's always 32 open. I almost wanted to post this on hackers because 
i've searched the net like a maniac without answers and no one on irc 
could answer me. I've also tried searching through the src/sys for 
anything defined to 32.

Unexpected swap unmounts

2005-04-16 Thread nocturnal
Hi
I'm running a FreeBSD 4.11 system on my laptop, before that i had 4.10 
and it's always worked great, i can't think of any new major changes 
i've made or things i've done in the last months. Just recently it 
started unmounting my swap partition for some reason, i get no warning 
but i have started checking dmesg and see it happen. Only a reboot can 
fix it, i've tried doing swapon /dev/partition as listed in fstab but it 
returns invalid argument. One warning signal which i can see if i 
continue using the laptop like usual for a while after the unmount is 
that firefox gets killed, or any other heavy application. Of course this 
is a cause of not having any swap mounted and dmesg tells me that.

As i had recently switched to XFCE from fluxbox i suspected it was too 
heavy for my laptop but switching back to fluxbox made no difference. 
One thing that did happen just before the problems was a lib issue after 
a portupgrade, it forced me to map a few libs to their current versions 
in libmap.conf but i had it running for at least a few weeks after that 
without problems, it is hard to tell though.

This is my libmpa.conf file.

sysctl.conf values reseting

2004-10-30 Thread nocturnal
Hi

While i had one value(kern.ps_showallprocs) in sysctl.conf all was fine
but then i added a few extra values and now each time i boot i see the
sysctl values in sysctl.conf being reset to their defaults.

This is my sysctl.conf:

kern.ps_showallprocs = 0
kern.ipc.shmmax = 67108864
kern.ipc.shmall = 32768
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans = 4
hw.snd.maxautovchans = 4

sendmail just wont work

2004-10-28 Thread nocturnal
Hi
I don't think i'll be lying when i say that i've setup close to a 
hundred FreeBSD servers(or 100 times) and the last one i setup was for a 
dedicated server customer but it has me stumped cuz sendmail just wont 
work on it, i used to get some localhost related errors in 
/var/log/maillog which i did not save.
It did say something about Connection refused by localhost. In rc.conf i 
have sendmail set to NONE since it's not a smtp server, only a webserver 
and i have other webservers which have the sendmail option in rc.conf 
set to NONE but on them people can use the php mail function just fine. 
The issue is mainly that they want to use the mail() function in PHP but 
i've also tried just sending mails from the command line with sendmail 
and with the t argument but it never works.

I don't know what else to say, if you need more info about the system 
then ask me. It's FreeBSD 4.10 and here are some config files.

/etc/hosts

Binary/ASCII File upload issues

2004-10-18 Thread nocturnal
if i do file index.php on a file i uploaded that works just
fine with php ran as cgi i get "/path/index.php: a
/usr/local/bin/php script text executable" and if i do file
index.php on a customers index.php file which i think they
uploaded using binary transfer mode i get "script text
executable/bin/php" only, the second file doesn't work using
php as cgi, i get an internal server error, i know how to
fix this but i'm wondering if anyone could explain why this
happens on freebsd and if it's related to the ftp transfer
