There are other options (a WITH_X11 variable, that sort of thing) that various people on irc have suggested as well. Not being a prolific porter, I'm going to go with whatever's easiest for me to implement (viz, a slave port) unless people have specific objections (or they want to write the code). Thoughts?

Its something I already thought of especially for laptop people or printer server ... Do you need NO_X11 to be the default if BATCH or portbuilding is set ? Or do you only want a switch for interactive portbuilding ? If its for portbuilding, then please be careful, since then the apsfilter port needs some finetuning. Currently apsfilter port relies on ImageMagick, since convert knows about so many filetypes. For a print server who possible runs without X11, this might be not a good default. I don't know, I only know, that I didn't get complaints so far ... If you change gs port not to include X11 on package building, then you should perhaps take into consideration, to include some other conversion utilities, which don't require X11 somewhere in the dependencies .... Currently I personally saw no demand in doing this, since regarding todays harddisk capacities, its no string demand to exclude X11... > I'm happy to do the work for this. I'd appreciate this if its possible.

Attached is a patch to ports/print/ghostscript6 which conditionalises its use of the X11 libs on the NO_X variable, which is documented in make.conf(5). It works as far as I can tell. ldd(8) on the generated binaries shows no dependencies on the X11 libs, and the binaries work well enough for use with eps2png and the rest of the docproj. But I don't have a system handy that doesn't have X on it, so I can't test this to my complete satisfaction. [ For those of you not familiar with applying diffs to the system, do this. 1. Save the attachment somewhere (say, /tmp/gs.patch) 2. Make sure your ghostscript6 directory is clean. # cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6 # make clean 3. Apply the patch # cd /usr/ports/print # patch < /tmp/gs.patch 4. Build ghostscript6 without X11 support # cd ghostscript6 # make NO_X=true install 5.

A slave port would have the advantage to offer two different gs binary packages, one with and one without the requirement for X.

First off, if I remember correctly then in my case the rc.conf was not pre-filled like this. I don't know why, probably because I took the easy route. Meaning either by install or later by way of /stand/sysintall. It's only when a box is halfway there that I whip out vi or whatever. My guess would be that by that time those texts will be long gone. So my preference would be to include that snippet into the named manpage. Or if there's space into /stand/sysinstall as well. I've just now actually glanced at security(7) and that actually does not say *how* the sandbox needs to be build. It refers to the rc.conf example. Now if those indeed can be overwritten... Another thing that deserves mentioning is the inclusion of something like "pid-file "s/named.pid";" like so: options { directory "/etc/namedb"; dump-file "s/named_dump.db"; pid-file "s/named.pid"; }; Else you get all those people wondering about them error notices as well as how to get rid of them. Which brings me to another thing, namely the lack of a howto. All one can find by searching is nisse:~$ whereis howto howto: /usr/ports/print/freetype/work/freetype-1.3.1/howto and then only if that's installed . So I was thinking that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to both have a manpage called howto(?) as well as a script called howto that displays that manpage. This manpage could then just give some common tips as in a FAQ but more in the sense of pointers. Like howto run bind in a sandbox, well rtfm(?). Wondering about security, see security(7). So both a more verbal and organized apropos as well as a bit of FAQ. Something for people who see all these trees but can't find the forest. And it's a well known name that happens to be unused. (bash already has help covered, guess that's too common :). Any, just some musings on my part. Roelof PS my rc.conf preference would be: #named_flags="-u bind -g bind" # Flags to sandbox named, see named(8) PPS I am of course also the Top Nisse at nisser.com ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Feb 25 15:42:57 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk [193.237.89.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9819437B6AE for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2001 15:42:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk) Received: (from nik@localhost) by nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f1PNTH242945; Sun, 25 Feb 2001 23:29:17 GMT (envelope-from nik) Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 23:29:17 +0000 From: Nik Clayton To: Francisco Reyes Cc: FreeBSD-Doc List Subject: Re: Can't build docprojc Message-ID: <20010225232917.A42927@canyon.nothing-going-on.org> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from lists@reyes.somos.net on Sun, Feb 25, 2001 at 05:54:33PM -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Sun, Feb 25, 2001 at 05:54:33PM -0500, Francisco Reyes wrote: > When I try to make the docproj I get a series of errors while building > jadetex: > > >!

That's what I was referring to - what > were you referring to? :) Docs are available as packages in as much as you can do pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/packages/mumble and get a document installed in the specified format. There are currently 316 packages to choose from, which is what you get when have 21 different documents available in seven different output formats in half a dozen languages. As we add more documents (and translations of existing documents) that number is going to go through the roof. I submit that simply having one big "documentation" category is not the way forward here, and that sysinstall is going to have to ask the user something like STEP 1 Please choose from this list of documents: [ ] FAQ [ ] Handbook [ ] Porter's Handbook ... STEP 2 Please select the language and character sets you want your documentation formatted in. [ ] US English (ISO 8859-1) [ ] Spanish (ISO 8859-1) [ ] Japanes (eucJP) ... STEP 3 Please select the format you want [ ] One big HTML file (great for searching/printing) [ ] Lots of small HTML files (better for web browsing) [ ] Postscript [ ] PDF [ ] Plain text ... Even that's not perfect -- what happens if the user selects a document at step 1, and selects a language in step 2 that the document hasn't been translated to yet? You could swap steps 1 and 2 around, but it's still an ugly interface for the user to have to navigate through. I don't have the headspace at the moment for this sort of UI problem. Would libh, with it's UI primitives, make any of this easier? I also have no idea how our other operating system brethren solve this problem. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month.

Which version of tex do you have installed? Lucky me. :-( latex2e-99.12 TeX macro package tex-3.14159 TeX and METAFONT When you sent that email I did a search for "tex" and noticed the following packages. latex2e-99.12 TeX macro package tex-3.14159 TeX and METAFONT I deleted them both and that seems to have fixed the problem. I had only installed latex in the past to learn it.. but never actually got to do anything with it. :-) Doing make on /usr/doc as I type.

Well, I think as a stop-gap measure the best we're going to manage is to somehow get these things into the INDEX and put them into a Doc category. I agree that material and ${LANG}uage should be broken out into subcategories but until such time, I think "en-Handbook" and "jp-FAQ" will have to be acceptable substitutes. This would, again, require no changes to sysinstall and given the degree of pain and inertia involved with changing that, I think that's an important part of the selection criteria. > I don't have the headspace at the moment for this sort of UI problem. Neither do I. Neither does anyone else I could point to.

There are a host of issues regarding even using libh on the installation floppies and we're a ways off from making it even work for installs, much less doc selection. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Feb 25 21:23:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from femail4.sdc1.sfba.home.com (femail4.sdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.95.84]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EAA5D37B491 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2001 21:23:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from paulbeard@mac.com) Received: from pink ([24.176.79.249]) by femail4.sdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.00 201-229-121) with SMTP id <20010226052121.TCUV29648.femail4.sdc1.sfba.home.com@pink> for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2001 21:21:21 -0800 Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 21:20:28 -0800 Reply-To: pkdbeard@yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.337) From: paul To: doc@FreeBSD.org Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v337) Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Subject: This seems unhelpful Message-Id: <20010226052121.TCUV29648.femail4.sdc1.sfba.home.com@pink> Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs/en/books/faq/networking.html#CREATE-DEV-NET I'm stumbling thru an install of freeBSD and I came across what looked = like a helpful FAQ response.

You should place your changes in /etc/rc.conf. This makes it possible to see, at a glance, what you have changed in your system's configuration, without having to hunt through a myriad of small files. > Of course, /etc/rc.network says not to edit it without telling someone > about it. /etc/defaults/rc.conf says not to edit it, but instead the > specific rc.* file needed. /etc/defaults/rc.conf says Put any overrides into one of the ${rc_conf_files} instead and you will be able to update these defaults later without spamming your local configuration information. As you know, ${rc_conf_files} is a variable reference, and if you look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf you'll see it contains the line rc_conf_files="/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local" so you can put your overrides in either of those two files. For example, to set your system hostname you might be accustomed to doing something like # hostname foo.example.com # echo `hostname` > /etc/myname or similar. On FreeBSD you would run the hostname(1) command, and then edit /etc/rc.conf and make sure it has the line hostname="foo.example.com" in it. See the rc.conf(5) manual page for more information. > I'm used to a simple direct syntax like ifconfig ed0 192.168.2.6 up. Is > that not possible here? That will work.

Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated. f - feedback The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state pending a response from the originator. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do.

I might be using "out of date tools" (though I've updated docproj to include the support for graphics of last week).

Hi Nik-- I just tried this and it allowed me to build a PDF handbook, whereas I wasn't able to before (some complaints about running out of string space). I'm running openjade on the machine in question, if that makes any difference.

There are really several problems here: 1) The program should check whether catman is actually being run by root before issuing the warning. 2) If an error has occurred, the program should exit, rather then going on to write root-owned files in /usr/share/man/cat* (or wherever...). 3) The program should be clever enough to _do_ the necessary work, rather than telling the user how to do it. Basically, the programmer has gratuitously broken the method of operation for a command. 4) The programmer's instructions to the user make use of an undocumented feature of man(1). What, exactly, is going on when we pipe this text string into man? In passing, I will note that the warning messages emitted by this command string: Unknown FreeBSD version ``),'' at line 320 Unknown BSD version ``'' at line 5 Unknown BSD version ``'' at line 5 are essentially useless, as the user has no way of knowing which man page is being discussed. >How-To-Repeat: % su # catman >Fix: Recode catman, as described above. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Tue Feb 27 1:29: 1 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from ty.media3.net (ty.media3.net [206.67.50.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0E7A837B719 for ; Tue, 27 Feb 2001 01:28:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Support@Inner-Smile.com) Received: from fellner.Inner-Smile.com (dialin4191.xpoint.at [195.2.4.191]) by ty.media3.net (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id EAA28983 for ; Tue, 27 Feb 2001 04:26:33 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.2.20010227102653.030c6be0@inner-smile.com> X-Sender: inner@inner-smile.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 10:28:03 +0100 To: mailto:@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Richey / Inner-Smile.com" Subject: url moved.

Two choices (I think). 1. Use something like ps2pdf to convert the Handbook to PDF. Nice, simple, and means that we lose all the hyperlinks in the PDF file, which I'd rather avoid if possible. 2. Split the Handbook up. I've been wanting to do this for a while anyway. The easiest way to do this would probably be to turn each in to a book in its own right. The more complicated way would be to hive out certain chapters, "The FreeBSD Printing Book", "The FreeBSD Security Book", and so on. Thoughts, everyone? N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month.

Just as config hints "Don't forget to do a 'make depend'", it could hint "It would be safer to have the kernel config be a symlink to outside /usr/src". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Tue Feb 27 18:37:14 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from cfcl.com (cpe-24-221-169-54.ca.sprintbbd.net [24.221.169.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C735137B71B for ; Tue, 27 Feb 2001 18:37:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rdm@cfcl.com) Received: from [192.168.168.205] (cerberus [192.168.168.205]) by cfcl.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA84471 for ; Tue, 27 Feb 2001 18:36:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rdm@cfcl.com) Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 18:34:14 -0800 To: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG From: Rich Morin Subject: missing man pages in section 4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Several devices were added to MAKEDEV in FreeBSD 4.2, including: urio, uscanner, usio (USB RIO, scanner, and serial I/O) ar* (ATA RAID) tap* (Ethernet Tunneling device) I found tap(4), but I can't find man pages for any of the others (ar(4) describes the "synchronous Digi/Arnet device driver").

IF anyone has a push in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. On a simelar note, is it possible to install DocProj on a machine without installing the DocProj port and compiling it on the same machine (i.e. get all packages from the FreeBSD FTP site which the port lists as being required in the README.html file, and installing the packages on the desired machine)?

I'm wondering...heck, it's only software, right? So if there's some hardcoded limit, we can figure out what it is, and patch it to Do The Right Thing (TM). Of course I haven't looked at the code so what do I know? And I'm not volunteering to do it either. :-p > Two choices (I think). > > 1.

My first reaction is that we'd lose the ability the hyperlink between the different books, and that references between sections/parts of the different books might be kind of hard. I'm actually leaning towards #1, since I can't remember Acrobat Reader handling the hyperlinks in PDF correctly anyways (well, it doesn't for RELNOTESng).

A lot of people seem to set securelevel without knowing its implications, then send queries to -questions, and sometimes -stable, asking why they can't unset the schg flag. Amazingly enough, this doesn't appear to already be in the FAQ; from a quick grep it looks like it might be mentioned in the handbook, but if it is, it isn't obvious. The root of the problem is actually sysinstall's failure to notify the user of the implications of securelevel. I saw a thread about this about a week ago, and it looks like progress was made, but if there was a commit about it, I must've missed it. In either case, these questions aren't likely to cease any time soon. >How-To-Repeat: Read -questions. >Fix: Apply the following to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.

It is not my native language. Recently I was reading the main documentation of FreeBSD project - the Handbook and met the very funny mistake. URL то this chapter is http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/routing.html & name of this chapter is "Gateway & routes". "The next thing that stands out are the 0:e0:... addresses. These are ethernet hardware addresses. FreeBSD will automatically identify any hosts (test0 in the example) on the local ethernet and add a route for that host, directly to it over the ethernet interface, ed0. There is also a timeout (Expire column) associated with this type of route, which is used if we fail to hear from the host in a specific amount of time. In this case the route will be automatically deleted. These hosts are identified using a mechanism known as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which figures out routes to local hosts based upon a shortest path determination." Looks like the author don't know the difference between RIP & ARP. :-) FreeBSD is my favorite OS and I want to see errorless documentation.

I'll also need to update the docproj port to pull in www/links instead of w3m/lynx as necessary. I'd be grateful if people could test this out. The output from links is slightly different to the output from w3m, but I think it's a bit more readable. However, I have done *no* testing on the translations. Please could the translation teams check that this does the right thing for them. Cheers. I'd like to commit this by the end of the week. N --=20 Internet connection, $19.95 a month.

In theory you can do this with the olink element. I'm not entirely sure how it's all supposed to hang together though. There are about 350 intradocument links in the Handbook. I don't know how many of those cross chapters though, or how many of them would cross any sectional boundaries that we might want to put in place. > I'm actually leaning towards #1, since I can't remember Acrobat Reader=20 > handling the hyperlinks in PDF correctly anyways (well, it doesn't for=20 > RELNOTESng). If you've got a table of contents that should be nicely hyperlinked (I use acroread4, and it works there), and any internal document links should work as well -- it's always worked for me.

Granted, it's been about 18 months since I was doing web work professionally, but that's not a view I've heard expoused with such vehemence.

I can't seriously believe that that's what you mean. None of my changes to date (or changes planned) render any existing URLs invalid, nor will they. > Your changes are not thought through.=20 I beg to differ. But any time the topic of restructuring the website, or anything remotely like it has been bought up on -doc, as it has been periodically over the past few years, you've never commented. Should you want to start, and participate in, a discussion on -doc about the website, and the various ideas and plans people have for it, that would be great. I know that at least nbm and asmodai have been thinking about this, and I'm sure jkh will have some input as well. Let's continue this on -doc. It would be great if you could start by outlining what your plans are for the website for the next 6-12 months, what you think it's shortcomings are, and how you are planning on getting them fixed. If you can't do this (lack of time, or whatever) then I respect that. But I also think it would be a good idea if you would let those of us who have got the time to think on these problems and try and implement solutions to them go ahead and do so.

I support this proposal entirely. While I think all of us appreciate the work that Wolfram has done over the years, I've also fielded a number of complaints during the same period that he's a "write-only webmaster" and doesn't appear to generate much in the way of strategic roadmaps or guidelines. You only hear from him when he's angry about something. That's perhaps understandable given the constraints on his time, but hardly helps to make FreeBSD's web presence more of a group effort and hopefully also advance the state of our content. I think we've definitely reached the point where we need to move beyond the centrist webmaster view and into a broader working group. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Wed Feb 28 20:34:42 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from harmony.village.org (rover.bsdimp.com [204.144.255.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F316437B718 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:34:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from imp@harmony.village.org) Received: from harmony.village.org (localhost.village.org [127.0.0.1]) by harmony.village.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) with ESMTP id f214Yed45288 for ; Wed, 28 Feb 2001 21:34:40 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from imp@harmony.village.org) Message-Id: <200103010434.f214Yed45288@harmony.village.org> To: doc@freebsd.org Subject: Request for review Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 21:34:40 -0700 From: Warner Losh Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've just committed two man pages to the FreeBSD tree. src/share/man/man9/resource_int_value.9 src/share/man/man9/resource_query_string.9 I was wondering if folks here can look them over and tell me what I've done wrong with them.

That's not what you're doing, you're passing the text string into 'su', which simply runs a shell as user 'man' which then executes the command /usr/bin/catman as that user. That's not to say the other points aren't valid, but I'm a bit busy at the moment, sorry. :-( Hopefully someone else can deal with it. -- Ben Smithurst / csxbcs@comp.leeds.ac.uk / ben@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Mar 1 4:12: 4 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from csunb0.leeds.ac.uk (csunb0.leeds.ac.uk [129.11.144.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id DB0B237B719; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 04:12:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from csxbcs@comp.leeds.ac.uk) Received: from cslin.leeds.ac.uk (csunc0.leeds.ac.uk [129.11.144.3]) by csunb0.leeds.ac.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA18766; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 12:10:35 GMT Received: from cslin002.leeds.ac.uk (cslin002 [129.11.146.2]) by cslin.leeds.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/) with ESMTP id MAA06401; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 12:10:35 GMT Received: (from csxbcs@localhost) by cslin002.leeds.ac.uk (8.11.0/8.11.2) id f21CAZK04891; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 12:10:35 GMT Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 12:10:35 +0000 From: Ben Smithurst To: doc@FreeBSD.org, developers@FreeBSD.org Subject: chmod +X Message-ID: <20010301121035.B2447@comp.leeds.ac.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org According to http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/basesrc/bin/chmod/chmod.1, the 'X' mode specifier is specified by POSIX.2, but our manual page says it isn't.

We should avoid symlinks as much as we can. This breaks search engine's result by returning same contents with multiple URLs. We now have good consistency for layout of documents and translated ones. We can get English Handbook via /handbook/ and Japanese Handbook via /ja/handbook/. One point we should consider is we have much documents than good old days ((c) Wolfram :-)).

But we should avoid beginner's confusion which may be caused by "same contents which can be refered by multiple URLs".

Way, way, way too late: http://www.freebsd.org/news/ http://www.freebsd.org/news/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/news/news.html and other examples (commercial/, copyright/, docproj/, gallery/, internal/, projects/, search/, security/). I'd like to=20 1. Agree that all documentation installs in the website under a single point. Currently, I prefer docs/ (or doc/). 2. Use symlinks to grandfather in existing shortcuts (/FAQ, /handbook, and a handful of others) so that existing URLs work. Then our mirrors can be true mirrors, without having to see our httpd.conf (or even run the same server software that we do). 3. Establish a policy that no new documentation should install=20 directly under the document root. Much, much, much longer term I'd like to consider moving the documentation= =20 off on to its own subdomain, doc.freebsd.org or similar. That's a sufficiently big project that I don't want to go anywhere near it at the moment, as we'd just get bogged down. > We now have good consistency for layout of documents and translated > ones. We can get English Handbook via /handbook/ and Japanese Handbook > via /ja/handbook/. Is that appropriate for the foreign languages? On the Japanese web site shouldn't /handbook/ default to the Japanese Handbook? I don't know the answer to this question. I can see the point in having the same URLs go to identical content on the different language web sites. But it also makes sense that some URLs are just shortcuts, that select a particular default. And that on the translated web sites, the defaults should be for the content in the local language. I'd be interested to hear what others think. > Problems like web server's load can be solved easily by upgrading > machine for web server.

The idea is that all documents move under a common namespace on the webserver. Old URLs continue to be supported, but we don't introduce any new URLs like that (so, for example, http://www.freebsd.org/design-44bsd/ should never, ever be working URL). We should also periodically monitor the error logs, as people learn and bookmark the new URLs. Suppose that, right now, .../FAQ/ gets 10,000 hits a month (I've got no idea what the true figure is). Eventually that'll drop, as the new URLs become commonplace. We could agree that when the figure drops to something like 50 hits a month (which could take a year or more) we replace .../FAQ/ with a message that says "This content has moved to...". I am *not* talking about an overnight change.

Could you pass this on to the appropriate individual(s)? Thanks! We partner with RedHat. Rackspace offers customized dedicated webservers to anyone who wishes to move up to the power, reliability, and security of a dedicated server. Our state-of-the-art network is fully switched using Cisco network gear. The Rackspace network is multi-homed with DS3 to OC12 connections through Time-Warner, Uunet, SBC, Digex, and Intermedia providing fast, reliable connectivity. Upgrading is fast and easy giving you the ability to adjust your server according to your needs. You are given the root password so you have full control of your machine, no hassles or security issues that come with sharing. Reliable, flexible, affordable. Our technical staff is on hand 24x7 to assist with any technical issues and ensure that your server is on-line and functioning according to your needs. There is never a charge for calling outside of normal working hours. If you would like additional information about our "fanatical" customer support, please visit http://www.rackspace.com/support/index.php3. You can also access a Flash version of our Spheres of Support there. The Spheres of Support outline everything that Rackspace offers in the way of support that is free as well as fee based. I think you will agree that we offer a large amount of support for free that our competitors charge for. There are no bandwidth restrictions, your traffic will be burstable beyond what you sign up for. If you exceed what you sign up for you will be billed at the overage rate, $4 per 1GB. You can upgrade bandwidth at any time to avoid overage fees and would then only pay the incremental price difference. You will have access to a Stats area which will provide information on exactly what your server has pushed to date as measured at the switch. We will also install the stats program Analyze2.2 to track bandwidth use per domain (mail traffic not included) at no additional cost. Your server will be monitored 24x7 with staff on-hand around the clock to ensure your server is on-line and functioning as you need it to be. We use a standard ping monitoring system to ensure the servers are up and running. Should a server fail to respond, the entire support team is paged and emailed. Since they are located on the same floor as the data center, you can be assured they will respond quickly to resolve the issue. We are 100% responsible for the functioning of all hardware components and will replace any failed component immediately at no cost to you. Rackspace offers Unix (RedHat Linux / FreeBSD / Sun), NT, and Cobalt Raq platforms. All Unix servers will come with a standard install of RedHat Linux 6.2, FreeBSD3.3, or Solaris7 which will include the latest versions of Apache, Sendmail, Bind, and Perl. Rackspace Support will assist with initial configurations for your first 5 sites and first 5 mail accounts to help get you up and running (you will be responsible for uploading files and making updates at Internic). Unix servers will also have the program "Webmin" installed free of charge. Webmin is a browser-based program that allows for point and click administration to add domains, mail, ftp, DNS and perform other administration all through a web based interface. For more information please visit our knowledge database at: http://support.rackspace.com/cgi-bin/racksup/search You will have root control of your Unix server with full Telnet and FTP access and can add as many domains as you like, as many mail accounts as you like, and can install any additional software you like on your server without restriction or limitation. NT servers will come with a standard installation of NT Server 4.0, IIS 4.0, VNC, and PCAnywhere 9.0. Windows 2000 will come with a standard installation of Windows 2000, IIS 5.0, VNC, and Terminal Services. You will have full FTP access to your server with root control and are welcome to install any additional software you like on your server(mail, database, commerce). If you need assistance with installations from disk you may forward us the disks and we will place the information on the server for remote install at no additional cost. Rackspace also offers the Cobalt Raq3 servers. The Raq interface allows for point and click administration for adding domains, mail, ftp, and other administration through a web based control panel. The control panel is re-distributable so that multiple accounts can be setup where users will have access to their own control panel with restrictions set from the top down. The Raq is recommended for hosting 200 sites and is ideal for reselling accounts due to its hierarchical control panel. Raq servers come with a Linux kernel which includes installations of Apache, Sendmail, Bind, and Perl. Rackspace also offers such advanced services load balancing, firewalling, e-commerce, and web based email. For more information on our advanced services please visit: http://www.rackspace.com/products/ To price a server to your specifications please visit our on-line pricing tool at: http://www.rackspace.com/goconfigure/pricing.php3 *You may submit the configuration you are interested in using the pricing tool, a contract will be forwarded for your review. Rackspace provides next day setup. Your server will be on-line the next business day from the time we receive the contract. Rackspace offers 24x7 technical support, 24x7 server monitoring, 99.999% up-time guarantee, and fast, reliable connectivity for your server needs.

Now, looking at the list you just spammed and what you are trying to sell here I really am starting to doubt the integrity of your company. You offer FreeBSD services but decide to direct the documentation(!) list for FreeBSD with this, which I can only call, spam. You just did your company a great amount of damage since your potential clients who might have had interest in you might be taken back due to the spam you just sent to this list, since most regard spam like this a bad attitude for a company. I seriously hope you will refrain from further likewise tactics to reach your salestarget and get your revenue.

Well, I actually did RTFM, but I saw nothing that seemed to describe the behavior I encountered. Certainly, the su(1) man page says nothing about taking input from standard input. It does say "A shell is then executed.", so perhaps I should have figured it out by considering the behavior of sh: echo ls | sh This calls for a bit more reading between the lines than I would wish, however; perhaps some explanation and an example might be in order. -r -- -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm email: rdm@cfcl.com phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Mar 1 12:33:15 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net (mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C1F5837B718 for ; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 12:33:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from clinton.roane@worldnet.att.net) Received: from mahlon ([12.78.216.124]) by mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net (InterMail vM.4.01.03.16 201-229-121-116-20010115) with SMTP id <20010301203310.GZYV25433.mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net@mahlon> for ; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 20:33:10 +0000 From: "Clinton Roane" To: Subject: Getting More Users Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 15:33:28 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org This is just a suggestion for future BSD releases.

This has been brought up repeatedly over the last 7 years, and there have been a few people working on a new installer, but nothing ever seems to come of it. Besides, FreeBSD's installer isn't *that* bad. Go install Debian sometime if you want to see a horrible installer. It makes sysinstall look like it's the best thing since sliced bread. > Also, I see alot of magazines about Linux but not a FreeBSD specific > magazine.

Daemon News now publishes a magazine about BSD, but chances are you'll never see anything mainstream like Linux Journal or Linux Magazine simply because FreeBSD isn't a buzz word like Linux :-) The fact also remains that these things cost money -- usually lots of it if you plan on succeeding -- and unfortunately it still doesn't grow on trees. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Mar 1 16:40: 6 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 41F9437B719 for ; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 16:40:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gnats@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f220e3j16529; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 16:40:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gnats) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 16:40:03 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <200103020040.f220e3j16529@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Cc: From: "Dan Langille" Subject: Re: docs/25376: Let's not be hemispherist in our release schedule Reply-To: "Dan Langille" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The following reply was made to PR docs/25376; it has been noted by GNATS.

I expanded on the securelevel description quite a bit in hopes of answering as many questions as possible; as always, references to the man pages are still there. Thanks Dima Dorfman dima@unixfreak.org P.S. The / thing is still broken (no ": "), and it doesn't look like nwlash is going to fix it any time soon (well, 1.62 is on his web site, and I don't see any mention of this in the change logs; perhaps I missed it?).

Like everyone else you're expected to test your changes before you commit them, but apart from that. . . -- I tend to jump quickly on PRs with patches that have problems, but if it's been languishing in the PR list for more than a week it's a good sign that the patch is fine, but that I haven't got round to committing it yet. Feel free to tackle these :-) And, of course, if you see a PR with a patch that you think needs improving, improve it!

Symlinks _are_ evil. The alternate paths will (eventually) get linked somewhere. This will induce more load by the Webspiders which find everthing twice. These alternate locations will pollute the caches, too. The pages will show up in duplicate. And last of all, you can't tell its a symlink which means this breaks down when mirroring via wget/webcopy. In the worst case even the mirrors will have all the pages twice and thrice. I'd strongly advise against using a single symlink on a webserver. You really don't want to do this. If you really must do it, put rules in the webserver config to disallow acces to all the alternate paths except one.

I am afraid this is not quite correct. Conspectus, us, m. (cf conspicio; conspicio < specio). It belongs not to the second declension (pl. nom. ending in -i), but to the fourth (ie pl. nom. ending in -us, but u is long here). In Latin, the word has both active and passive senses; it has concrete meanings as well as figurative ones. The core sense is (approximately) "notice", "look". Examples of figurative senses (relevant to... FreeBSD Conspectus): in hoc conspectu (viz "consideration", or rather "study") et cognitione naturae, Cicero; aliquid ponere paene in conspectu animi, Cicero (~ "as if before the eyes of one's mind" if I may say so in English). Another (particular) figurative meaning, related to the first, is ~ survey ;-) Incidentally, "specio" is related to "species" (cf Greek "idea" and (v)id (v)eidon) and "spectrum" (cf Greek "eidolon", image).
