Re: 4.6 > poppassd fails
Thanks Calvin,
That was easy enough ;-) Another strange thing for you, this seems to
have been corrected in the qpopper port.
/usr/ports/mail/qpopper/files/extra-patch-password::poppassd.c
static char *P4[] =
{
+ "passwd: updating the database...\npasswd: done ", /* FreeBSD */
+ "nis password has been changed * ", /* FreeBSD NIS */
"password changed. ", /* shadow */
"password changed ", /* smb */

Re: tracing a crash
Jano, If you aren't seeing anything extraordinary in the logs, this is an indication that the crash was caused by a w/r error. You may have a problem with your disk drive, controller card, cable, etc. Unfortunately, when your machine quits writing to the disk, there will be no log entries. You will only see the errors from the console. -- Jim Weeks On Wed, 2 May 2001, Jano Lukac wrote: > Hi, > > My freebsd 4.3-release (cvsupped to stable a few days ago) box stopped > responding to everything except ping yesterday.

Ok, I have been following the list for a long time and the only time I have seen this happen it has been a sync problem. Maybe once top itself was broken.

If you have done a typical install you probably only have 20mb for /var so I suggest you use /usr for the temporary files. As in the following command. mergemaster -t /usr/tmp/root -d which will also add a date to the directory in case you need to save it for some reason. You know better than anyone else which files you have made changes to that should not be changed during upgrade.

Re: strange named behavior in 3.4-STABLE
Your problem is most likely sendmail. It will always issue a request when booting and if you have the standard "sendmail -bd -q30m" set in /etc/rc.conf it will cause dial up every 30 minutes. You could change the command to "sendmail -bd" to stop the 30 minute dialing, but it will still dial during boot.

I didn't get any response to this post and have since tried numerous things
to correct this error. I have now installed 3.4-19991219-STABLE from

Everything seemed to install ok and make depend went well, but when doing
make I get this error.
