Edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and add ENV['PKG_FETCH'] = '/usr/bin/false' portupgrade will look for a local package, then try and fetch a package remotely using false(1) - which will fail because that's what false(1) does - and portupgrade will then build the port.

Re: BSDstats Project v2.0 ...
While I'm definately interested in the statistical reporting, I do have one suggestion: Add a random "sleep" time to the update. Otherwise, the reporting server is gonna get HAMMERED once a month, assuming this project gains any kind of momentum. A random sleep timer at the beginning of the script over (for example) a 3 hour window could make the load bearable for the checkin server.Just something to consider. > > I've now committed v2.0 of the 300.statistics periodic script ... this one > adds the device reporting that we'd talked about previously, and the > summary reports now reflect the driver(s) in use for those deciding to > report ... > > This Phase of the script is optional, and not enabled by default ...

SAMBA as Domain Controller on FreeBSD 6.1
Hello everyone! Good Day! I am using FreeBSD 6.1/6.x version of Operating System. I plan to switch my existing PDC Win2k Advanced server to FreeBSD with the power of Samba. Anybody may I know of how would you setup SAMBA as PDC in FreeBSD 6.x? I know this is not good question for asking HOWTO but the good procedures and right samba configurations might lead me up during installation process. I am hoping for your kind consideration and favorable response. Great many thanks. Regards, James G.

Hello, Note that the files contents itself are still on the disk if they haven't been overwritten by later disk operations. If you do not have a backup and you know what you are looking for, you can use commands such as "grep" or "strings" over the disk partition. You can find explanatory pages on the Internet about that, such as http://bluesmoon.blogspot.com/2004/08/undelete-in-freebsd.html.

GVINUM Configuration file Quickie -- Swap and Var on Raid-0 striped
I have a simple quick little question for somemore more familiar with gvinum then myself. I've read through examples and what not and have come up with the following config file. I basically want 3g of swap space on a striped RAID-0 for swap space, tmp will use some of the swap space through an md device. Var will get the remaining space for its thing. I have set the stripe size for swap at 4096 to match the block size of swap memory and mazimize output across devices. I've set the stripe size of var at 64k so it can handle small logs and what not. I don't know if those values are the optimal though. I selected the subdisk size for my swap partition and left as 0 for var, as my reading suggests this should take whatever is left. # gvinum.conf.RAW drive foo device /dev/da0s1a drive bar device /dev/da1s1a volume mem plex org striped 4096 sd length 1534m drive foo sd length 1534m drive bar volume variable plex org striped 64k sd length 0 drive foo sd length 0 drive bar # EOF gvinum.conf.RAW after creating the partitions I need with: fdisk -I /dev/da0; fdisk -I /dev/da1 bsdlabel -we /dev/da0s1; bsdlabel -we /dev/da1s1 I should be able to gvinum -f gvinum.conf.RAW to make the volumes I want correct? also I know the fdisk command uses the whole drive but does that command switch dangerouly dedicate the drives? these drives will not be used for booting so I don't care about anything but capacity and output speed.

Why would that? The port trees themselves are synchronized; just the set of installed ports ain't. The packages generated on the different machines are absolutely identical AFAICS; including their dependencies. There's no point in recompiling them separately if the result is the same on all machines. That's why I'd like to reuse the newly created packages. > In any case according to the man page -b means "Keep backup packages of the > old versions." >From portmanager(1): -bu or --back-up Make packages of updated ports The new/updated ports are being created with pkg_create(1) (after compilation).

As far as getting SSL up and running, I had better luck using stunnel instead of compiling SSL into each service. With one certificate to manage, I now have SSL encryption on IMAP, POP3, SMTP & HTTP. Of course the sites that are being protected are for internal use at our company, so no one complains that we're using a self-signed certificate and the names don't match, YMMV. If Sendmail does return the right AUTH parameters, and you're still having issues, test saslauthd. Make sure you have the following in Sendmail.conf: pwcheck_method: saslauthd I have not needed to add "'mech_list: login plain'" to Sendmail.conf to get this to work. Make sure saslauthd is running. If not then: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/./saslauthd start test the authentication: # /usr/local/sbin/testsaslauthd -u username -p password 0: OK "Success." If you get an error with saslauthd at this point, the problem is there. If this works OK, but you're not getting the right AUTH response during your telnet connection, your problem is probably how Sendmail was compiled. HTH. If all seems to be in order, and you're still having issues, what other ports do you have on the machine? I've run into problems the same as yours with both Postfix and Sendmail after installing quite a few other ports. During my last rebuild, I installed Postfix and sasl2 out of the gate, and have had no issues. I think in my case, something else I installed before the MTA & SASL2 screwed something up, but I could not determine where the fault was and ended up reinstalling.

It will screw up your ability to do 'make buildworld', but other than that, is generally harmless. In order for something like that to be effective though, you'ld have to ensure that there weren't any world writeable directories on your system on partitions that allowed processes to be exec'd from them. Similarly you'ld have to ensure that any account liable to compromise does not have any directories around where it can write files and execute them from. Which is actually quite reasonable to do for most of the UIDs that exist solely to own network server processes. However, at that level of paranoia, judicious use of chroot(2) or jail(2) would be indicated -- so banishing network servers into corners of your disk space with no /tmp accessible on them at all.

FYI: USB wireless on FreeBSD 6.1 Release via ural driver
Given the occasional question regarding wireless adapters on this list, and that I didn't see this in the hardware notes, I thought I'd post a message: The D-Link DWL-G122 version B1 is compatible with FreeBSD 6.1 Release on the i386 architecture. This is a USB, 802.11g adapter. Please note that the hardware version number is important as some manufacturers like to change chipsets without changing model numbers. This adapter uses the ural driver. When I plugged the adapter into the USB port, it was identified correctly as ural0. Network configuration using ifconfig was standard, except that the wlan_wep module had to be loaded manually before the adapter could be configured with a WEP code. You can find a list of compatible, adapters in the ural man page. Remember to pay close attention to hardware version numbers. Best regards, Andrew L.

Some (many) years back when I was looking at preparing a book-length doc for the web with HTML I actually did use the style-sheet method. IIRC, it worked well with HTML-2.0. But with my Jotting stuff it got a little fancier, bit-by-bit until I had at least two jpegs/*php plus very light blue formatting [15%, 70%, 15%], and a textured.jpg "paper" bg on the 70%. That's 3 jpegs. I don't know if you can do something like that with CSS. I wound up creating *one* html/php template, and mouse cut-and-pasting my segue, then the meditation and after a few hours it was good enough... .

In the instances I had a screwup in which I could not resolve, I've made the following bonehead moves: 1. Ran make installworld without dropping to single-user mode 2. cvsupped to the wrong source tree due to my ignorance of the tags in the cvsup file. My latest misadventures with getting PLAIN LOGIN working were on systems where I did everything correctly, but installed a number of ports prior to messing with the MTA. This included Apache, PHP, MySQL, Squirrelmail, XOrg, KDE-lite, and whatever dependencies were needed. The same issue occured with trying to get PLAIN AUTH working with Postfix, and on a second box with Sendmail. I ended up reinstalling, and focused on getting the MTA and SASL2 working immediately after getting the system up to date, and had no issues. IMHO, worry about getting PLAIN LOGIN working before messing with compiling SSL support into Sendmail. In my experience, configuring SSL can be a pain, making sure everything is where it's supposed to be.

Thin terminals for FreeBSD
Hello, I need to setup an environment where some users (10 to 20 employees) will use terminals to run programs. They need to run a few popular programs: thunderbird, firefox, adobe acrobat, openoffice and gaim. This site will be a customer service. We decided to reduce the costs by using Open Source software and cheap terminal computers. This is a good solution because most of the users will read messages and images on the screen and they can share the same processor and memory easily. I know that I can setup cheap computers and use its X server as a terminal for another central computer. This solution still requires new (or used) computers. I would like to reduce the costs to the minimum. Here are some key questions that I could not answer: - Is there a more cost-effective solution? (Something that I did not think of) - How much RAM will I need? Will FireFox Thunderbird and OpenOffice load shared objects and reduce the overall memory usage? Or should I reserve 256MB of memory for each client? - Do I need to use gigabit ethernet? Or is it enough to use a normal 100 Mbps wired network? I heard that there can be bandwidth problems when using many terminals, but I do not have experience. - Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of? It would be perfect to provide links to some articles or manuals - I do not need anyone to write detailed instuctions and do my job. I'm asking for help because the handbook was not very useful in this case. I only found this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/term.html#TERM-X It does not help too much, and there is no know-how. I really need to know what hardware I need to buy.

Re: Thin terminals for FreeBSD
In these days of commodity PC pricing running X-terminals isn't really cost effective. You'd be better off buying 10 - 20 identical PC's loading and configuring one, and then clone the drive for the rest. Using X-terminals will likely cost more per unit, and produce more load on the server, the only positive to X-terminals is in configuration and maintenance. That's my 2 cents anyway. -Derek At 02:19 PM 8/7/2006, =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Nagy_L=E1szl=F3?= wrote: Hello, I need to setup an environment where some users (10 to 20 employees) will use terminals to run programs.

Great project idea, and glad to see it's growing :). Every time I refresh the page to check a host I add, I see several more since the last refresh just a few minutes before. The new percentage display added in the last few minutes is nice too. I haven't followed the whole thread so I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet or not, but my idea would be to make another table of just the major releases. Like an easy view on who's running 6.1-RELEASE regardless of patch numbers, or 5.5-RELEASE, or 4.11-RELEASE, just so people can get a quick idea on who's running which releases without having to look through every one including patch levels (kind of a quick summary). Or maybe even numbers and percentages for "4.x", vs "5.x", vs "6.x", etc, and another table for "i386", "amd64", "sparc64", etc, so companies providing drivers or closed source binaries can quickly see the numbers for those.

/etc/fstab error and I can't start the system normally
Hello. PROBLEM I tried and configured FreeBSD 6.1 for many days and I mounted my FAT extended partition to exchange my files between Windows and my new Operating System. That was OK. After I tried to mount automatically at boot this partition and I make an error (grammatical error): I wrote acd0s5 instead of ad0s5 in /etc/fstab. Now, when I start the system, I receive this message at the end of the boot process: "Can't open (No such file or directory) /dev/acd0s5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_msdosfs MANUALLY.

Mount Point permissions
Hi All: This is week 3 on a new freebsd 6.1 install. I LOVE it! I am having a silly problem using my floppy drive. I can successfully fdformat a new floppy, I can newfs it, I can mount it OK what I can not do is write to it! My fstab line is: /dev/fd0 /usr/home/bob/floppy ufs rw,noauto,user 0 0 After a format, lable, and newfs, I can: "mount -t ufs /dev/fd0 /home/bob/floppy" ok. The permissions on mount-point /home/bob/floppy are 770 with bob:bob After the mount operation I see: ls -al floppy drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Aug 7 11:22 . drwxr-xr-x 60 bob bob 4096 Aug 7 11:03 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 root operator 512 Aug 7 11:22 .snap And of course, bob can only read, but not write. $ touch floppy/test touch: floppy/test: Permission denied How can I correct the post-mount permissions?

Cheap terminals for FreeBSD
Hello, I need to setup an environment where some users (10 to 20 employees) will use terminals to run programs. They need to run a few popular programs: thunderbird, firefox, adobe acrobat, openoffice and gaim. This site will be a customer service. We decided to reduce the costs by using Open Source software and cheap terminal computers. This is a good solution because most of the users will read messages and images on the screen and they can share the same processor and memory. I know that I can setup a computer and use its X server as a terminal for another computer. This solution still requires new (or used) computers. I would like to reduce the costs to the minimum. Here are some key questions that I could not answer: - Is there a more cost-effective solution? (Something that I did not think of) - How much RAM will I need? Will FireFox Thunderbird and OpenOffice load shared objects and reduce the overall memory usage? Or should I reserve 256MB of memory for each client? - Do I need to use gigabit ethernet? Or is it enough to use a normal 100 Mbps wired network? I heard that there can be bandwidth problems when using many terminals, but I do not have experience. - Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of? It would be perfect to provide links to some articles or manuals - I do not need anyone to write detailed instuctions and do my job. I'm asking for help because the handbook was not very useful in this case. I only found this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/term.html#TERM-X It does not help too much, and there is no know-how. I need to know what hardware I need to buy.

Well, I assume that it's more a style change. An "@" may be prepended at all those ${XX} commands. But it's up to author. While the change I propose will work on some non-default settings.

No other known > pitfalls here so far. Just one addition: instead of running firefox and thunderbird locally on the diskless nodes, you can also run them remotely on a box with locally mounted filesystems (using DISPLAY, which is set automatically when you use 'ssh -Y'); the thr_*() hangs disappear then. They must be NFS-related somehow. Oh, if you run X apps remotely, you don't need more than 256 MB RAM on the thin clients; perhaps even less, but you'll have to test this yourself. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: SAMBA as Domain Controller on FreeBSD 6.1
Hello, There are quite a few guides to setting up Samba out there. For the most part you can check out the guides even if they are for Samba on Linux, since the procedure outside of actually installing Samba through the package manager will be the same. Here is one for setting up Samba as a PDC on Ubuntu http://howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 And if you want to know how to setup Samba with an LDAP backend follow this guide. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166108 As far as getting the packages, all of the above are available in ports. If you wish to use the same LDAP database for your local user authentication, then you can follow this guide: http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/ Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_nss_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html I am running a PDC at home on FreeBSD 6.1 and Samba/LDAP which works pretty well.

Re: Thin terminals for FreeBSD
> - Is there a more cost-effective solution? (Something that I did not > think of) We used to build (well my colleague did that) X terminals based on a thin configuration of freeBSD (must have been version 2 at that time) that we ran on diskless computers booting from floppy. At that time we ran it on pentium 100 MHz, with something between 16 and 32 MB RAM, over a 10 MB shared Ethernet. All applications ran on the cental server, and X terminals were just that: display devices. It was a bit slow, you could not look at a video, but otherwise it worked. Of course you need more horse power on the server, but if you have a set of old PC with similar video adapters, that's an easy solution to deploy once one machine is up.
