Maybe it would be better if you strip the ending number from the
driver, so the page will list total number of driver usage not fxp0,
fxp1 totals and so on.

Seems like some people are already trying to be funny, because
according to the page there are already people running (~40)

SAMBA as Domain Controller on FreeBSD 6.1

2006-08-07 Thread James G. Corteciano

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. Corteciano

[bad form to reply to my own post, etc.]

Doh! You want to *insert* the string, not (just) find the ones that 
don't have it. My ed/ex chops blow, so with sed:

sed -i '' 's///' file_name

eaccelerator hit: log msgs

2006-08-07 Thread dick hoogendijk

Installing eAccelerator with apache2.2.3/php4 was easy enough.
It is indeed a lot faster, BUT,

However, my httpd-error.log very fast with lots and lots of rules like:

EACCELERATOR hit:"/usr/local/www/horde/imp/config/servers.php"
etc, etc..

I don't want these lines to appear.

How and where can this be disabled?

2006-08-07 Thread Vesselin Peev


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.
(And if you don't want to take any chances, there are companies specialising 
in data recovery.)

Vesselin.

GVINUM Configuration file Quickie -- Swap and Var on Raid-0 striped

2006-08-07 Thread backyard1454-nospam

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.

I can handle the rest of the configuration but I want
the raid building experience to be relatively
painless.

thanks

That's a great idea for portupgrade! Thank you!

A key design feature of portmanager is that everything is built with 
up-to-date dependencies, having this kind of feature would, in general, 
defeat that.

In any case according to the man page -b means "Keep backup packages of the 
old versions."

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.

  -bu or --back-up
  Make packages of updated ports

The new/updated ports are being created with pkg_create(1) (after
compilation). It's not about old versions...

There are good examples on the Samba site. You just have to be aware that
file locations are different on Freebsd and some commands don't exist.

Also check out The Official Samba 3 HowTo and Reference Guide.

I used to do it on every install and only had issue
once, which was more and issue with mergemaster and
going line by line and not knowing to answer l and
r... with the merge option, something another
installworld fixed for me... But like yourself I never
have anybody but myself logged in. I got some old
serial multiplexors with a 10-base2 ethernet
connection for a serial console. for when I need to
actually worry about real users.

Has anybody had SERIOUS problems installingworld with

bad idea, and have since started going to single user

Don't use "reboot", "halt" while in multi-user mode.
Use "shutdown -{r,h} now", instead.

But it would be very complicated for portmanager to determine whether a 
package file meets it's exacting standards for "up-to-date", especially since 
most people that would want to use such a feature, would want to get 6-stable 
packages. 

The developer always said that he wanted it to be a simple way of keeping a 
system up-to-date from source, and not general purpose ports/package tool. 
And AFAIK he's lost interest in it.

What you might do is compile your collection of packages, install them with 
portupgrade and optionally run portmanager after to clean up any problems.

You may just want to use CSS as well instead of hardcoding in HTML

Make sure you have the following files in /etc/mail setup:

domaintable
mailertable

These last two need a database file too which is make by:
/usr/sbin/makemap hash domaintable < domaintable
/usr/sbin/makemap hash mailertable < mailertable

/tmp permissions

2006-08-07 Thread dick hoogendijk

Today I read that /tmp always is "noexec".
That should probably be on linux, because on my fbsd-6.1 box it's "rw"
and that's it.

Question: should I change /tmp to "rw,noexec" to be safer?

Telnet to port 25 on the mail server. Once connected, issue an EHLO

220 mail.servername.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.4/8.13.4; Mon, 7 Aug 2006

250-DSN
250-ETRN
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-DELIVERBY
250 HELP

If you don't see PLAIN LOGIN, you have a problem in how Sendmail was
compiled. 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.

Dick,

Yes, noexec is a good this security wise.  You could also add nosuid  
depending upon what you may need /tmp for.


Most "kiddie scripts" will attempt to run items out of /tmp, by adding  
noexec you prevent items from executing out of the applied directory.

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.

Cheers,

Matthew

FYI: USB wireless on FreeBSD 6.1 Release via ural driver

2006-08-07 Thread Andrew Gould

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.

Need help! Apache core dumps when running startssl

2006-08-07 Thread Andreas Widerøe Andersen


Hi,
I recently upgraded one of my production servers to FreeBSD 4.11 p19 and
then upgraded all ports. I'm now running Apache 1.3.36 mod_ssl and Php 4.4.2
.

I had Squirrelmail running on https and now I can't start Apache with ssl.
Every time it coredumps. I've tried snakeoil and my own cert. Same thing
happens.

This is the error message I can see from my httpd-error.log:

[Mon Aug  7 20:20:03 2006] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

That's it. I can't find any other logs and I can't tell what's wrong.

What could it be and what can I do? I have checked the httpd.conf file and

Good thought, indeed.  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... .  

I'll check into the style sheets; thanks!

gary

PS:  I also checked out Don Knuth's TeX stuff, but that's way
 overkill :-)

While I'm definately interested in the statistical reporting,  I do have

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.


To be totally honest, 'load n the checkin server' isn't something I'm 
terribly worried about ... right now, we are at ~200 hosts checking in, 
from various time zones (see http://bsdstats.hub.org/bsd_statistics.php 
for countries that have checked in so far) ... so, even at month end, 
taking into consideration time zones, I don't expect a major hit ... now, 
if we get to 10's of thousands of hosts, which I'd *love*, then I may 
worry, but by then, I'll have a Dual-Core Dual CPU server in place that I 
can move the whole thing over onto ...


IMHO, its going to be a slow ramp up over a long period of time, but, as I 
mentioned earlier ... it has to start somewhere, and we've accomplished 
that ... now to get everyone actually checking in, now that will be a feat

I've also contacted folks @ NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD about

can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to report it, but just in
case someone feels it poses a problem, its an opt-in report ...

pkg-message updated to reflect the extra line you need to add to
/etc/periodic.conf:

Regards,



Need more info.  How did you recompile Sendmail?  For instance, I did a 
minimal install, updated my ports, installed cvsup-without-gui & 
fastest-cvsup, cvsupped my sources, ran a buildworld to get the base 
system up to date, then added the following to make.conf:


SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2

installed sasl2 by compiling from the ports

then I recompiled Sendmail as follows:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
make clean
make obj
make depend
make
make install

Once that was done, I went into /etc/mail and added the following to
freebsd.mc

define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl

After saving the file, I ran the following in /etc/mail:

make all
make install
make restart

After which a telnet session showed the correct AUTH paramenters.

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.

Greg Groth

Maybe it would be better if you strip the ending number from the

fxp1 totals and so on.


Agreed, I have to clean that up, but I can do that one the server side, 
without affecting the client side at all ... the only thing that I'm not 
sending across the wire is the none#@ entries, since, as far as I could

Seems like some people are already trying to be funny, because according

Yup ... but, two things ... in most cases, finding 'funny ppl' won't be

Thin terminals for FreeBSD

2006-08-07 Thread Nagy László



 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.



Thank you

Are other programs crashing with signal 11 too?  This may be a hardware
problem.  I've been running Sendmail on FreeBSD for ages without any
sign of signal 11:

# cd /var/log
# ( bzcat $( ls -d1 messages*bz2 | sort -r) ; cat messages ) | grep

This shows a lot of Sendmail Signal 11 errors.

Re: Thin terminals for FreeBSD

2006-08-07 Thread Derek Ragona

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.

How to filter the contents of two text files ..

2006-08-07 Thread Odhiambo Washington


Hi

Some little help is needed here ...

I have two text files, each has just a single column of data

FileA has 2798 entries, while FileB has 4242 entries;
There are entries in FileA that are also in FileB... 

I'd like to filter against the two files, so I only get those entries in FileB
that don't occur only in FileA 

I am thinking about using `diff` but again it doesn't look quite straight to me.

How do I get the data from FileB that isn't in FileA ?

There could be many possible ways but I am simply brain dead at the 
moment.

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.

Just an idea :)

Hi, and thanks for the info. SATA and network are big ones since the
primary drive will be SATA and the onboard ethernet is the one that
will need to be used.

I ordered the server and am having the datacenter put FreeBSD 6.1-R on
it now. They also confirmed it should work based on their experiences.
I'll post a follow-up when everything is all good.

Thanks again.

Refresh the page, I've add a new table since, which I believe is what you 
are asking for :)

/etc/fstab error and I can't start the system normally

2006-08-07 Thread micman

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.
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
msdosfs: /dev/acd0s5 (/mnt/win)
Automatic file system check failed; help!
Aug 7 20:08:07 int: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single 
user mode
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:"
 
QUESTIONS
Can I rewrite the file /etc/fstab in text mode?
If it's possible, how can I do this?

I tried fsck_manually and also to boot by option '6' ("Escape to loader") but I 
was not able to resolve the problem.
If someone can help me, thank you.

get into a console maybe by booting single user.
remote root as read/write you may or may not have to
remount root as write but...

mount -u /
ee /etc/fstab

fix the error hit [esc] cc [esc] a and you should be
good to go. 

hope that helps

Run 'wine' once from the shell for it to generate the .wine directory

However, so far I have not been able to get anything more complex than

I agree - another note:

After the install, better documentation might be add. Meaning, it needs
to be defined that the 2 lines

To enable the port, edit or create /etc/periodic.conf and add this line:
monthly_statistics_enable=yes

To enable device reporting, add this line:

monthly_statistics_report_devices=yes

Should reflect the proper location:

/etc/rc.conf - assuming the knobs are needed here.

  sorry, but you are wrong here; the correct location is

I think it would help uptake if when the bsdstats job is first run, it
issues you with a 'registered system number' -- then all of the folks with
low numbered systems get bragging rights...

Mount Point permissions

2006-08-07 Thread Bob Richards

 
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?

TIA Bob

I do have a question tho -

What happens when one of wishes to upgrade. Say for example on my Sparc
- I want to go from RELEASE to STABLE.

At that point - is the port smart enough to remove old listings and put
forth the newer?

If not - having these status can and will be deceiving in a short time.

Cheap terminals for FreeBSD

2006-08-07 Thread Nagy László Zsolt


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.


Thank you

 Laszlo

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. And may be the author
wants to show an administrator what is installing to the system.

I'm using EPIA 5000 mini-ATX boards with 512 MB RAM, diskless booting
from an NFS server. They load X.org and everything else on demand.
Compared to local HDDs, there's a small performance hit when loading
programs [and those boards are not the fastest, though 100% silent ;-)],
but users here are happy enough with them.

For a diskless setup, 100 MB switched on the client side is enough; but
you'd definitely prefer gigabit ethernet on the NFS server.

> - Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of?

Locking over NFS is a bit buggy. I had some trouble running thunderbird
and firefox, as they seem to hang on some thr_*() call, and gconfd can
be a bitch too over NFS, if the permissions on an NFS-mounted /tmp are
not set correctly (/tmp as md ramdisk is fine though). No other known
pitfalls here so far.

Why not tackle this in a similar manner to the Postfix port - after 
installing (provided we're not in a non-interactive build), we prompt:


Do you wish to activate stats reporting in /etc/periodic.conf [n]? y
Do you wish to report your installed hardware?
Would you like to submit your systems stats now?

or something along those lines. This would make it much easier than 
people installing the port and neglecting to set the appropriate lines,

Thanks. I found my problem. (Sysinstall, aka fdisk, won't do more that 1.2TB.)

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.

Re: SAMBA as Domain Controller on FreeBSD 6.1

2006-08-07 Thread Pramod Venugopal


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.

Hey,

After playing with Samba through the years, reading tidbits of documentation
and howto's, nothing compares to the documentation in the Official Samba
Howto. I was having plenty of problems and decided to have a look in this
book, before I did anything more with Samba I simply read it from start to
finish (only skipping the sections relating to Active Directory due to it
being expiremental and likely to change, and I wanted something stable and
tested well).

So, read the Official Samba Howto:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
It's the best.

For those of us who can't read minds, what's the port to install, and
the website where we can view the stats? :)


As a side track on this, it'd be nice if the port installation message
said something like "got to http://bsdstats.hub.org to see current stats"


Good point, and done ...

Re: Thin terminals for FreeBSD

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.

Actually, there is no "registered system number", as there is no 
"registration process" ... that was the key requirement for doing this, 
was that it was as "hands off" as possible, and having to go to a web site 
to register each and every host was just too onerous of a task ...

I've only heard from Matt @ DragonflyBSD ... if anyone knows other using 
the other BSDs, encourage them to join in ... we're going to put a proper

I do have a question tho -

What happens when one of wishes to upgrade. Say for example on my Sparc
- I want to go from RELEASE to STABLE.

At that point - is the port smart enough to remove old listings and put
forth the newer?


Its smart enough to know you've updated, and updates the record ... but, 
it will only update the record for the *current* month, not past months 
...

Great, thanks Marc.
