keep track of a text file
Hi to all. --- I'm using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p17 Just wonder about one catch: is it possible to keep track of any text file's contents in a real time? For example, I open ttyv1 and via some magic command :) I get my file's contents updating in real time if any modifications occured. Any advices will be very much appreciated. -- Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Sound troubles with high res modes in console
Hello, everybody! The system is ASUS "A3500L", old laptop on Intel Montara platform, running 7.1-PRERELEASE I have one trouble while listening music with console players. Sound became crippled when I have output to STDOUT or whenever I use text-scrolling in editors or switching between consoles. This trouble appeared right after I changed vidcontrol setting to 1024x786 mode. In order to get VESA modes I recompilled my kernel with these additional options: >cat /sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM # not sure if I should use these actually :) ... device drm device i915drm device acpi_video options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VESA ... Also I put 'allscreens_flags="-i mode MODE_279"' in /etc/rc.conf to have 1024x768 mode in my consoles. >vidcontrol -i mode ... 277 (0x115) 0x000f G 800x600x32 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k 279 (0x117) 0x000f G 1024x768x16 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k 280 (0x118) 0x000f G 1024x768x32 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k I'm loading sound module for my Intel ICH4 chipset: >cat /boot/loader.conf acpi_video_load="YES" snd_ich_load="YES" # Intel ICH > kldstat kernel snd_ich.ko sound.ko acpi_video.ko acpi.ko atapicam.ko pflog.ko pf.ko logo_saver.ko When I'm switching vidcontrol mode back to default setting, playback becames smooth again. So, is there any way to get smooth playback in console with high res settings? Any advises will be much appreciated.

Re: freebsd7 & kde4 & performance
Agreed with t-u-t. I tried new pc-bsd7 on my old laptop (Celeron 1,6GHz/1.5G RAM/15GB dedicated on HDD/Intel GME video) and it runs rather good (with almost all desctop effects disabled). Not so blazing fast of course, but still enough for doing everyday stuff. -- Best regards, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

cyrus-imapd spawning multiple processes
Hello, list. I'm trying to set up cyrus-imapd on my host running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. The troublemaker is the cyrus. It starts and opens it's sockets, but whenever I try to establish a connection to pop3 or imap ports (i.e. via telnet or cyradm) cyrus goes nuts and spawns child processes in endless manner, trashing logs with this: >tail /var/log/debug.log Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[49269]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49269 exited, status 1 Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[49270]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49270 exited, status 1 Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[49271]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49271 exited, status 1 Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[49272]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49272 exited, status 1 Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[49281]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d Jun 2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49281 exited, status 1 ... ...until I stop the master process.

Hi, Kirk.
I had the similar issue with forward type zones yesterday.
Though I'm not quite sure, but it started to work after I put 127.0.0.1
to /etc/resolv.conf on our bind server.
My named.conf entries look like this:
...
zone "need2.frwd.zone" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 10.xx.xx.xx; 10.xx.xx.yy; };
};
zone "10.in-addr.arpa" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 10.xx.xx.xx; 10.xx.xx.yy; };
};
...

Jeff

linux_base installation - missing rpm binary
Hello, I've just installed the emulators/linux_base-f10 port in order to run some rpm-based applications. Various online manuals told me that one should not use the native freebsd rpm binary (archivers/rpm), but instead use the /compat/linux/bin/rpm. But there's no such rpm binary under /compat/linux tree. What am I doing wrong? XD I'm running vanilla FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE, fresh ports tree.

I cvsup'ed to RELENG_6_4 and buildworld went ok, but buildkernel fails ait this stage: [skipped] -- >>> stage 2.3: build tools -- cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL; MAKESRCPATH=/usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm make -DNO_CPU_CFLAGS -f /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/Makefile Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL yacc -b aicasm_gram -d -o aicasm_gram.c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_gram.y yacc -b aicasm_macro_gram -p mm -d -o aicasm_macro_gram.c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_macro_gram.y cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -nostdinc -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm -c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm.c cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -nostdinc -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm -c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c: In function `symbol_delete': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:91: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:91: error: too few arguments to function /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c: In function `symtable_open': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:135: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c: In function `symtable_close': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:151: error: structure has no member named `seq' /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:151: error: `R_FIRST' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:151: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:151: error: for each function it appears in.) /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:157: error: too few arguments to function /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c: In function `symtable_get': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:176: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:176: error: too few arguments to function /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:189: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:189: error: too few arguments to function /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c: In function `symtable_dump': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:486: error: `R_FIRST' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:487: error: structure has no member named `seq' /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c:524: error: `R_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this function) *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. My config is the same as GENERIC, but with pf and altq options included. Is it possible to use freebsd-udate on this old system? Any help will be much appreciated. -- Best regards, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: how to run task periodically

I would like to make sure that some tasks (like updating the ports tree) run weekly/monthly etc. As the system isn't on 24/7 the cron job I usually run for these tasks doesn't work as the machine isn't always running on the scheduled time. So I need a utility that enable me to say: "if a week has passed since the last run, run this command". Is there such a utlility? Cheers, Mark Maybe @reboot action of standard crontab will suit your needs. Also it wouldn't be that hard to write a simple shell-script which will check dates and perform needed actions. -- Best regards, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
freebsd.org maillist mx discard policy
Hello list, My question is regarding official maillist smtp servers. I'm trying to subscribe on "security-notifications", but (for some reasons) our outgoing MX has no PTR record and mx1.freebsd.org rejects my message: >Reporting-MTA: dns; xxx >Arrival-Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:18:39 +0400 (MSD) > >Final-Recipient: RFC822; freebsd-security-notifications->requ...@freebsd.org >Action: delayed >Status: 4.7.1 >Remote-MTA: DNS; mx1.freebsd.org >Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [x.x.x.x] >Last-Attempt-Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:24:36 +0400 (MSD) I have the SPF record set up for our domain which designates our external IP as a valid sender address for the domain, but I still get rejected. So, the question is: do the freebsd.org maillist servers follow SPF records or PTR record is mandatory? TIA. -- Best regards, Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
