Re: Newbie Experience
On 9/11/06, Bob Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I have always wanted to better understand Unix, and so I finally made the decision to switch some of my office PCs over to either a Unix or Linux system. With office suites like OpenOffice, I felt that I would be able to transition away from Windows with minimal disruption to my business. So, I downloaded the .iso images from FreeBSD, Suse, and Fedora. I initially favored FreeBSD, since it seemed to have the closest lineage to "pure" Unix, and that was important to me, but after many, many attempts to install both the OS and Gnome desktop environment, I threw up my hands. In brief, the installation process is just awful. After multiple attempts on an admittedly older machine (Pentium II 266Mhz, 256KB ram, 30GB hard drive, S3 Virge graphics card), I was able to get the FreeBSD OS installed, but could not configure Gnome or KDE properly. The documentation is sketchy at best. I had to learn about X11, Xorg, XFree86, and all of the gory history of X before I could even begin to use ee and know to edit the /etc/rc.conf file. The installation process did not recognize my graphics card or Ethernet connection, and all I could get was a crude 600x800 display. And DesktopBSD was even worse. I then repartitioned my drive and sequentially installed Fedora Core 5 amd then Suse 10.1. Both were EASY to install, Fedora in particular recognized all of my peripherals, and I was up and running with it in about two hours. Conversely, FreeBSD took me multiple days and has still left me bewildered. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I feel that FreeBSD will never achieve broader acceptance (even with momentum building for alternative OS) among people with modest technical proficiency and fairly simple requirements (i.e., spreadsheets, word processing, presentations, email). FreeBSD has an awful "out of the box" experience. It's too bad, because I think FreeBSD is probably a better OS, but I'll never really know. Regards, too bad, you experienced that, the FreeBSD sysinstall is not that really hard, it may seem daunting at first because of its text mode but it is very straight forward, i guess you have to read the handbook over and over again to fully comprehend the things you missed why things like X is not working, it will also help if you will include the error messages as to why you can't run/install gnome or kde. imo you missed some dependencies that's why you're having a hard time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yeah. I used to do Solaris admin (Jesus, you'd never know it...), and usually prefer installing software the ./configure --> make && make install route. Especially since a ports install doesn't tell you anything about where the software is put D. use the whereis command to know where it is installed.

I've been saving these instructions for weeks and just installed
squirrelmail. I tested it with
http://www.thought.org/squirrelmail/ and by pointing at the
src/configtest.php. I get a 404 return. I have added your mods
intp my httpd.conf; I have stopped and restarted apache; I have
run ./configure. Still nothing. Any clues?
gary
you apache build doesn't have that module installed so even if you put it
there explicitly, you will still see the codes instead of the actual page,
you have to recompile apache with php support.

Re: Port redirection troubles with natd/ipwf
On 10/18/06, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, I have set myself up a nice FreeBSD router, but im having trouble getting my firewall and NAT configured. I have a basic setup at the moment that is working well, using IPFW for a firewall and also running natd because i have a few computers here on my LAN that want Internet access. However i cannot seem to work out how to get port redirection through NAT working correctly. Currently i have it setup (as i hope my configs bellow show) that all incoming traffic from the web is blocked, unless it was initiated by a host on the LAN; then the check-state and keep-state rules allow the traffic through for that session. My problem comes when i want to so say, "its ok for traffic to pass through this port to a target on the LAN". As far as i can make out that is done with the "redirect_port" setting in natd.conf -- my conf has ports 113 and 3002 redirected to 10.0.0.11. 113 for IDENT, and 3002 as a custom port for a windows ftp server. Take an IDENT request for example, i can see the traffic coming in on port 113, getting nat'd to the correct LAN ip, and even mIRC registering the IDENT request. But it never gets back out. The same with FTP on 3002, if someone attempts to connect they get a message in their client that the request timed out, but i can see a login attempt in the server logs. I have a feeling there is a simple answer to this, but im stuck. Any help is appreciated. My config is bellow, i can provide logs of the behavior if a fix is not obvious.

When was the last time you did a cvsup? Portupgrade was hosed for a few days there, if your ports tree previously installed the hosted version, portupgrade won't work. If this is the case, the solution is: 1) cvsup ports 2) pkg_delete portupgrade 3) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade && make install clean Portupgrade will then start working again. i always do a cvsup before upgrading the ports but i got the same problem, pkg_delete did not work coz it can't see the portupgrade version that is installed so i did a make deinstall and make reinstall instead but with the same result, any idea how will i solve this?

Presumably you're talking about an Apache server using SSL where the SSL key requires a password? Requiring a human to enter the password is more secure, but if you want the system to reboot without manual intervention, you'll have to remove the password or put it into a script... yes, i'm talking about apache with ssl/tls encryption, is that passphrase going to be a security issue in the internet or locally at the machine level? if it's machine level, i have no problem getting rid of it coz nobody here knows anything about unix/bsd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Depends on how good your control of access to the server is. In my case for example, I control physical access to the machine. That could be, and has been a problem when I was away and power went out, to get things back up, so I got rid of the passphrase. Now, as long as the fsck-s clear at boot time, the server makes it all the way back up without intervention. But, if you have a lot of people running around, even if ignorant, then you might want to think again about eliminating it. It is less likely to be a concern for remote access, but could come up, especially if someone gets root to your server. Of course, then all bets are off anyway. yeah there are lots of ignorant people here in our organization :D, that is why all my nix servers are headless since we don't have room to secure them physically. thanks for your all your opinions :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hmmm... this will take a little more effort than is usual when dealing with the ports. But not a huge amount more. First, identify all of the ports that use php -- you want anything that is a dependency of the core lang/php4 port. You need a command something like the following, except you will have to alter the version number to match what you have installed: % pkg_info -R php4-4.X.Y Something like this: % pkg_info -R php4-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-4.4.2_1: Required by: oscommerce-2.2r2 pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 php4-bz2-4.4.2_1 php4-gd-4.4.2_1 php4-mbstring-4.4.2_1 php4-mcrypt-4.4.2_1 php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 php4-pcre-4.4.2_1 php4-session-4.4.2_1 php4-zlib-4.4.2_1 phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 This will get you the right list of ports to deal with. Now, you need to replace each of those ports called 'php4-something' with the equivalent 'php5-something' port. You need to do the base php port first: % cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 % make config (Note: make sure 'Apache' is checked here) % portupgrade -f -o lang/php5 php4-4.4.2_1 Remember to tweak that version number to match what is on your own system. After you've done that, there should be a file /usr/local/etc/php.conf that contains the following: % cat /usr/local/etc/php.conf PHP_VER=5 PHP_VERSION=5.1.4 PHP_SAPI=cli cgi mod Now go ahead and replace all of the php4 modules with their php5 equivalents. You need to find the origin of each php4 module, and then translate it into the php5 equivalent. eg: % pkg_info -o php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-mysql-4.4.2_1: Origin: databases/php4-mysql % portupgrade -o databases/php5-mysql php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Do that for each of the php4-something modules. Next, and somewhat optionally, reinstall all of the PECL libraries and PHP applications you've installed. ie. anything on that list of dependencies without the php4- prefix. This isn't strictly necessary for anything that is pure PHP code and that involves no compiled stuff, but it shouldn't hurt. eg: % portupgrade -f pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 % portupgrade -f phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 % portupgrade -f oscommerce-2.2r2 > Is it necessary to mess with Apache too ? Yes. You should stop apache before starting on this whole exercise, obviously. Before you fire it up again, you need to make sure that it is loading the PHP5 module rather than the PHP4 one. Check for lines like this in the apache config files: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so (Again, mutatis mutandem depending on the version of Apache you're running) The Apache config files may well be automagically edited for you, but the 'LoadModule' line could well have been put in commented out, which you'll want to uncomment. Then fire up Apache and test, test, test until you're sure everything is working OK. or you can have both php4 and php5 in your box. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As for the OS installer, ok, it's not pretty to look at, and it's far from perfect (fdisk needs a lot of work for one - it has issues with some hardware, but it's well beyond my skill level to work on sadly). As for the disk imaging technology... Do you have _any_ clue about what goes into installing an OS? To my knowledge, no variant of Linux, Windows, etc. uses disk imaging technology. There is a very good reason for this - it doesn't allow for a lot of necessary customisation without a lot of extra complication in the installer. However, while a GUI installer would be nice, as stated to me in a previous email, a lot of people know this would be useful, but the manpower required for such a project is immense compared to what is available from people with the required skills. > 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. > > PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world.

No offense, but, it doesn't even integrate BASH. I had to install the bash package so I wasn't stuck to CSH, and BASH is much more popular than any PHP shell. (Wait, is there a PHP shell? I know there is a CLI interpereter, but that's different). Regardless, if it's in ports (which it probably is if there is such a thing), then just install it, not very difficult at all. Also, PHP is extremely large and slow compared to things like CSH and BASH. Thus, if only one is being chosen, PHP would be a pretty low choice: the idea of BSD is to start with something relatively minimal and build it up to what you need, so you aren't stuck with excess clutter you don't need, as you often see in most other operating systems. Integrating such a shell would be very contradictory to this philosophy, and waste a lot of resources for people who don't want that waste, or don't have them to spare. Also, just because you can't see a reason to use/learn SH doesn't mean others can't. I knew PHP long before SH, and I still prefer it for a lot of things, but SH has a lot of important advantages that cannot easily be chaned (for one, it is almost ubiquitous, except in windows and Mac OS < X). Also, can you actually pull numbers to support your statements about popularity and lack thereof? There are less popular languages than SH (which, by the way, is the glue of UNIX), and to be honest, last I checked, C and Perl were more popular, by far, than PHP. Oh, and I use PHP for my websites and run some on BSD without issue. All I had to do was take one trivial step after syncing ports, which is the first thing I do in FreeBSD: $ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 $ sudo make install clean VIOLA, PHP in no time! > 3.Content Management Website > > Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for > anyone visiting your site for the first time. Yeah, it's great, I don't have to deal with a lot of crap and clutter to find what I need. Personally, I think it could be simplified more, but hey, nothing is perfect. No matter what the website is, it will always have some people that don't like it. To be honest, I think it's far enough away from the BSD philosophy as is, and your suggestion would only move it further. To be honest though, the simplicity and lack of crap made an impression on me and a few that I know, and a good one. Remember, not everyone is like you, and just because something doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it won't appeal to others. One thing to remember, I've been in BSD for only about 6-8 months, but I figured it out pretty quickly: the idea behind BSD is to have a minimal and functional operating system that allows a user to easily build up to what he or she needs to do a task effectively. You do have to put some effort in, but this helps keep machines s

One thing I would say is that FreeBSD installs a complete operating system far faster than any other OS out there. This does matter to some people, though not everyone. A few years ago I was new to FreeBSD (and UNIX/Linux in general) and I went through the installation. The only thing that caught me out was adding a user (me) but not putting myself in the wheel group. After the installation completed I removed the monitor and plugged it back into my usual desktop machine. I could SSH in but not su. It really was the only thing that caught me out. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. > > PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world.

That's big, and for many people unnecessary. Why would I need it for my (10) mail servers. It wouldn't serve any purpose. Also PHP "syntax" is not consistent. Take a look here: http://tnx.nl/php. sh scripting is a low level "standard" across other Unices. The only thing I wish I had learned so much sooner was "set autolist" in my .cshrc. I didn't know it was there, and I have no idea why it is not in the default dot.cshrc file. No doubt good reasons, but I "got by" for months before I found this out. All that time I was going "bash can do it, why can't csh?"

Features over speed is generally the right equation, yes. But I think you're being too generous to Danial. The quote of his above was in direct response to my assertion that many people refuse to listen to him because he frequently engages in cheap demagogy[1]. His response? Another whole boatload of cheap demagogy, questioning the intelligence, aptitude and moral character of anyone who doesn't listen to him, by way of accusations that are wholly unsupported by facts. I could probably rest my case right there, but I think his perception (and yours) that people are not receptive to claims of FreeBSD performance problems is quite simply false. Every time a performance question is brought up, I see a flurry of calls for clarification and for the formulation of repeatable tests which are generally agreed to be an accurate gauge of the problem. People with performance problems then /sometimes/ get upset (I think because the questioning and testing tends to assume they're wrong and they get defensive about it). The problem is, scientific testing of an assertion must try to prove the hypothesis is false, and must posit (and also try to disprove) any plausible alternative explanations. There's just no reason to get upset about that. Raising questions about a claim, and trying to explain an outcome's root cause by alternative hypotheses, is in fact the /required behavior/ of critical thinkers. When the OP of a performance problem does follow through with testing, and is willing to engage civilly in a logical debate, then generally there is a successful outcome to the thread. When the OP of a problem gets emotional about it and starts spouting cheap demagogy, then other users and developers quickly will walk away from the table. Walking away from trollery is in no way equivalent to these users and developers sticking their heads in the sand on the issue. It's the predictable response of critical thinkers who recognize demagogy as a tool of /antitruth/. Those who consistently use demagogy are always more interested in winning an argument than in finding the truth, and any critical thinker either sees right through the murk of BS being tossed at them or least has enough intuitive sense to recoil from it. And that is /the only reason/ why people ignore Danial. His brand of cheap demagogy is so potent that the smell of /antitruth/ emanates from his posts in a field so strong that it might as well be a physically repelling force. He might do better in politics or religion where these trollish "debating" tactics are the norm.

I realize once I start installing apps that I will probably wind up installing something that uses Gnome or KDE libraries so I am going to wind up bloating my system any ways right? gnome and kde are both bloated, why not xfce or fluxbox, they are both lean and fast. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If the technical specifications are open, there is *zero* support cost for the hardware vendor. They don't even _have_ to make a driver for their hardware. What they *can* do though is reply to requests for an open source driver with: ``Piss off! We have you the technical specs, so you can write your own. Our development and support costs would not be justified, but here's the spec... give it your best shot.'' *This* is the point Darrin is trying to make :) and if i may add, if they don't provide FreeBSD drivers for their products, its their loss, they won't earn anything from FreeBSD users coz we won't buy or stay away from their products. and i also think the reason they are discontinuing support for FreeBSD 6 onwards coz they feel we are just few and won't make a significant increase in their profit driven company, one way of making us heard is by letting them know how many we are, why not bombard them with request for support, IMO once they notice how many we are, i'm pretty sure they'll give in. just my 2 cents worth. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any help is appreciated. Normally, your mail client will keep track of all Sent messages if you configure it properly. That's a better choice than having the MTA do it, but you can look into the content_filter mechanism to archive mail which passes through if you really want to do so. also make sure that your isp allows mail forwarding. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is expected behavior. The ports system will let you upgrade a vulnerable port without complaint. It will however complain if you try to install (or upgrade to) a version that has vulnerabilities. Since portupgrade complained, it's no surprise that portaudit also complains after the forced upgrade. This means that either the version in ports aren't fixed yet (the existence of a vulnerability of a prior version does not imply that said vulnerability is fixed in the current version), or that your ports tree is out of date. Seeing that the latter is not true, I would say you just have to wait for an updated version to appear in ports. You can create an account at freshports and ad ruby to your "watch list". That means you'll get notified when new versions arrive. i portupgrade the previous version ruby-1.8.4_8,1 to the current version which is ruby-1.8.4_9,1 and i also saw from the portaudit complaint that the new version is not anymore affected by the vulnerabilities of the old version meaning the maintainer already fixed this, however portaudit is still complaining. and how about the portsdb output? why is it complaining of stuff i don't have installed?

Dave. i had these warnings too, just use portupgrade or portmanager to upgrade your ports, there is a vulnerability in ruby-1.8.4_8,1 and it was fixed with ruby-1.8.4_9,1. update the portaudit database so you won't see the warning message again.

I do have one question though. The rc.d file has 'pam' listed rather than sasldb for the '-a ' flag. I changed it there although the directions said not too. Is there any reason that changing it in the rc.d file is a bad thing? I could not figure out what it meant to do otherwise. Was I suppose to create another file that would override that one? If so, what was the syntax of the file suppose to be? Anyway, it works, so that is all I am really interested in at the moment. try putting this in your rc.conf: saslauthd_enable="YES" saslauthd_flags="-a getpwent" HTH ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

mysql version question
i recently upgraded the mysql 4.1.20 ports (both client and server) via portmanager to version 4.1.21, however as i login to the mysql prompt or phpmyadmin what i see is the old version, does this mean i still run on the old version? is there a way to fix these?

Re: Needing a guide/tutorial please
On 8/18/06, Steve Lake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Looking for a guide online somewhere that will walk me through setting up a mail server with the following items on it. SpamAssassin Postfix (pop3 and smtp setup) MySQL (for database driven mail user administration) MyPHPAdmin (to visually admin the database) Squirrelmail (for webmail) Apache (for squirrelmail) Dovecot Imap (for squirrelmail) Postfix Admin <- this is the reason for the need to have a mysql driven mail user database. It's apparently required for this to work. Plus database driven user management tends to be easier. Of course, if you know of a better way to graphically admin mail users without using a database, I'm all ears. :) And lastly, some kind of web based server admin page that's similar to webmin, but more secure. I want to setup a mail server with all these elements, have postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot be database driven and somehow create a mailbox tree for the webmail users for saved, spam, sent and trashcan folders. Also, lastly, which format for mail is better? Maildir or Mbox? I'm partial to Mbox, but I've heard some others say Maildir is better. The server is only going to host about 30-40 users for a realty company, so security is priority, plus it needs to have ease of administration because the guy who's going to admin this in the end (I'm just building it, he's maintaining it) isn't unix savy. I've already done a lot of google diving, but with little luck. Hence why I'm asking here. If someone knows of a good guide or series of guides that'll help me through all this, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm used to doing this the hard way with sendmail and the regular freebsd users through the console. So I'm really new to postfix, but I'm using it because it's supposedly more secure. I'd have the guy who's admining it do the same, but he's too green in the console to risk it. ;) try using google, it will point you to the tutorial's url but since you already posted that question here, the postfix website has lots of howto in setting up a mailserver, i for one used the howto's in postfix' website. but if your too lazy to google :D this url's might help: http://freebie.miraclenet.co.th/server/install_fbsd/ http://www.astro.ufl.edu/it/install/freebsd.html here a suggestion, instead of using squirrelmail try using roundcube, we use it here in our office. roundcube's ajax like interface's absolutely awesome compared to squirrelmail bland interface, you can install it via subversion. dovecot is a good choice for imap and pop3 service. postfix can support both mbox and maildir but i prefer maildir. you can secure your box by chrooting postfix or putting it behind a firewall. there are so many ways to make it fully secure, those i mentioned are just a few of them.
