Re: Port 3306 -- Solved!! Thanks
Hi Keith, Since you are on the matter, I would also recommend using your firewall to stop unwanted requests to that port. For example, try instead of any, allowing your webserver (in case of webdriven websites) and only servers that need to have access to your database. You don't need anyone trying to play around with your database. :) Cheers Ricardo On Thursday 06 March 2003 07:30 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 7:12 PM Hi all, I have Found a rule in my ipf firewall rules file. it allows in my agetway machine running webmin etc etc. to port 3306 from any.

faxrcvd problem solved THANKS, now next (long)
Thanks to you kind people on the list I learned how to debug and fix the
bin/faxrcvd script with Hylafax.
The solution was to use /usr/local/bin/ps2pdfwr instead of
/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf. Apparently some enviroment info got lost during
script execution, something that I think I've seen before with scripts
written under Linux and then used with FreeBSD?
Now the next one:
We want to use a script from http://www.purpel3.com/sambafax/ to extract
a fax number from a print through CUPS like:
app---cups---sambafax script---sendfax
The problem here seems to be a mysterious permission denied error that
can be seen in the CUPS error log below (which is probably going to look
weird). A tmpfile is created ok then not much more happens.
Then follows a stripped version of the script with just the necessary parts.
CUPS log:

There are so many different types of UNIX. If freeBSD is so great why won't natural selection begin and let some of these Unix flavors die? Really, wouldn't it be a better world if we had just a couple open source OS? I've been doing some background reading and correct me if I'm wrong. But I came across of at least 30 active different open source and commercial Unix flavors (and I'm sure that's a drop in the bucket)? And my last comment is about the commercial Unix flavors. If they cost so much - are they more bug free, better support, more people working on it. $12, 000 for a licence is alot of money. Well, I just like to say that I think FreeBSD is great.

Re: Thanks guys
Cliff writes: Ok, 20 flavours of Linux and at least 3 of *BSD; well...that's the way it goes... Actually, it's not the number of versions that exist that is important, it's the degree of similarity among them. Twenty operating systems that are 98% compatible is much less of a problem than two operating systems that are only 5% compatible. Something that runs in an X environment on one version of UNIX will often run on several other versions of UNIX as well, but a program that runs on Windows will not run at all on the Mac without being rewritten. All OS'es should be Open-Sourced..especially in these dangerous days ! A nice wish, but developing operating systems costs an incredible amount of money, and the money has to come from somewhere, and the easiest way to raise the money is by making the OS proprietary and selling it. Open operating systems are nice when they exist, but since nobody has the resources to support them in a totally reliable and responsive way, choosing them for mission-critical applications is risky, unless one has on-site experts to maintain them if required. For many other purposes, they might be quite suitable, however. In the olden days, mainframe vendors would sell the hardware and almost throw in the OS as an afterthought, since the hardware was useless without the OS, and since the OS couldn't be used on any other hardware. They'd even provide source code so that customers could modify the OS. It worked well, but that is not a a viable model for smaller systems, because it makes it easy to take a proprietary OS and use it on different but compatible hardware (much harder for Macs than for Windows or UNIX, though). Also, customer modifications were a nightmare for support organizations--and that would be a million times worse with smaller systems, given that there are so many people of limited skill and high motivation tweaking so many smaller systems. Mind you I am not sure how many volunteers there would be who would wish to wade through what is rumoured to be 30 million lines of code that constitute Windows2000. Exactly. Writing an OS like that costs several billion dollars, and supporting it costs millions more. How would you find the money for open-source code? Then again, one might argue that 30 million lines is too much for an OS (and I tend to agree), but that's a separate issue. One nice thing about UNIX--in part because of its history, I suppose, and in part because it is largely open-source--is that it doesn't suffer from the extreme bloat of Windows or Mac operating systems. This applies only to the OS itself, though, not to bloated GUI environments that might run on top of it, which seem to have the same problem as Windows and the Mac. Well I think it's jolly good as well :) So do I. FreeBSD is a great operating system. Simple, performant, secure, reliable, accessible, and free. It would be nice to see a desktop OS with the same characteristics one day, but for various reasons, I question whether that will ever even be possible.

If all software was open source, there'd be no jobs to support the volunteers writing open source, and so open source would destroy itself, and you'd be back to proprietary software. This effect will keep open source in check. You incorrectly assume that all those day jobs involve writing software. That is not necessarily so. It is quite possible for a volunteer writing open source code to have a day job that does not have anything at all to do with computers. You also incorrectly seem to assume that all proprietary software is written to be sold at retail. This is not so. A significant fraction of the proprietary software written is intended for in-house use. (Consider for example the computer systems of many government agencies and large companies and instituitions. Much of the code in those systems is developed in-house and never sold.) You can also consider all the software for embedded systems, where the software is not the primary product, but some physical device utilising the software. Of course, software companies could write software and then distribute the source, but no company that wants to survive can afford to do that--it would be giving away its only source of revenue. Not necessarily. You could develop software on order for some customer that needs some special software that is not available off the shelf. Then, after they get the software they wanted and you got paid, the source is released. You get paid, your customer got the software they wanted, anybody who wants to can get the source. Everybody is happy. None of the above means that all software necessarily should be open source, just that your arguments against it doesn't hold. One kind of software where proprietary off-the-shelf software does have a place is software that the average open-source programmer finds boring (since nobody will write boring code without being paid for it) and where no single entity is prepared to spend a large amount of money to have it developed, yet there still are many people who need that kind of software. Examples of this class of software is things like spreadsheets, word processors and presentation programs. There do exist some open source programs of this kind but they are mostly not quite as good as their commercial counterparts and there are very volunteers working on them, yet there are lots of people who need them. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Gnome2 build problem SOLVED! Thanks Joe!
All - I'd like to thank Joe Marcus Clarke for his assistance in getting past the fact that a repeated error building gconf-editor was keeping me from getting to Gnome2. The culprit was yet another outdated /usr/X11R6/include directory (gdk-pixbuf, to be precise). Thank you Joe. I hope I have learned something in this process.
