Since they will install the program in the right directories. 2nd Usually all sources have a README file and a INSTALL file, that should be read before installing the program. 3rd Unless you really want a custom installation (i.e. maybe unstable) most files go into /usr/local/bin. It just depends on what you want in that program. You also can make a /bin in you home directory, but that is way far in advance of a newbie. Again I stress that you should use the ports/packages when installing a program. It is the best way to keep track of your programs, and make upgrading a lot easier. Rolling you own, should be left up to the gurus, or at least it is not for newbies.

From a Linux kernel hacker, who says that FreeBSD performance is better. http://www.byte.com/documents/s=558/BYT20010130S0010/ A nicely written article from WebTechniques with your exact question in mind: http://www.webtechniques.com/archives/2001/01/infrrevu/ Both of these are from the headlines on the freeBSD home page headlines. Having taken a path similar to yours (tried Linux, then got interested in FreeBSD), I'd highly recommend FreeBSD. I made the switch and haven't looked back. brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Tue Sep 4 16:32:51 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mail5.bigmailbox.com (mail5.bigmailbox.com [209.132.220.36]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B780D37B403 for ; Tue, 4 Sep 2001 16:32:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: œby mail5.bigmailbox.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA28672; Tue, 4 Sep 2001 16:32:48 -0700 Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 16:32:48 -0700 Message-Id: <200109042332.QAA28672@mail5.bigmailbox.com> Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary X-Mailer: MIME-tools 4.104 (Entity 4.116) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Originating-Ip: [213.137.32.200] From: "petko popadiyski" To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: local-host-names for dynamic IP Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org i wanna configure sendmail to receive emails , but i must set my host in the file /etc/mail/local-host-names. i have dynamic IP so i have triied to use * but it didn't work.

One of the reason for running apache as a separate user/group (such as www/www, as I do) would be that certain CGI scripts expect to be read by the webserver, and not anyone else, and there are quite a few processes that run as nobody by default.

A quickie lesson (I don't know them all), but man might... .login = login file for csh, tcsh .profile = login file for sh, bash These files are read when a user logs in. Typically they set the path, etc. .cshrc = shell file for csh, tcsh .shrc = shell file for sh, bash (sometimes named .bashrc for bash) These are sourced every time you start a new shell. .history = command line history for use with bash history.

This is what happens when I reply to messages that have more than one question in them. Remind me not to fall in this bear-trap again... Your original mail had more than one question. It's unedited text is shown below. I chose to reply only to the question that I *did* know the answer at the time. Let's answer all of them, one at a time: > I use the standard sh shell. root can use the arrows to browse the > history, but other users cant. Can I make it so that all new users > have this feature, or shuld I make it so that all users share this > feature (whitch is best, and how is it done)? According to you, root can use the arrow keys in /bin/sh (the standard sh, as you call it) to browse through history entries. This is because his .shrc file contains: set -o emacs If you 'dont want emacs' as you very kindly pointed out, you can go read through the manpage of sh(1) to find out what this changes, and either use this or `set -o vi'. It's up to you to choose. BUT FIRST, read the manpage to understand what I'm talking about. *sigh* Yes, you can make it so that all users have this feature turned on by default. Edit the .shrc file in the HOME of the existing users and add this line. Then, edit /usr/share/skel/dot.shrc and add it there too. First read the manpage of adduser to find out what the files in /usr/share/skel are for. > Can I make autocompletion work in sh (either on tab, or with > duble-click on esc)? No you can't. Period. Install another, more featureful shell, to have autocompletion. > The reason I use sh, is that I don't want to get "bad" habbits with > more powerfull shells, since I'm working differet "old" Unix systems, > that dosn't have "powerfull" shells. Is this a bad excuse/idea? No, it's neither an excuse, nor an idea. It's a matter of taste. -giorgos PS: Next time you post, try to post *one* question in each message, please.

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.
