I have no problem installing or upgrading OpenSSH from ports. Indeed, that's all I know how to do. My question is how to upgrade OpenSSH as included with 5.2.1. If a ports install will do this, great. The more general question is how to upgrade system software, especially in cases where it's not included in the ports collection. --- "greg@grokking.org" wrote: > Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this but I > believe rkhunter is > just checking the version 3.6.1 and doesn't account > for the 'p1' part > which refers to a FBSD patch that corrected the > vulnerability rkhunter > is referring to. > > IOW, I don't think you need to update ssh on 5.2.1 > if your motive is > merely that rkhunter flagged it. OK, that's a relief, thanks. Same question holds, though. If some system software is actually vulnerable, what's the procedure to update it? thanks /wsbs __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

For example, if I receive an email at 9:30pm, it lists the time as 2:30pm in my mail client. I've determined that it's just a problem on received messages, because if I use my client with a different mail server, the time is fine, and if I send mail to another server, the time is fine. It's annoying to me because messages will show up somewhere in the middle of my 300+ message inbox, and users have been complaining about it. What's going on, and how do I fix it?

If I send an email from gmail back to the server, that's when it has the weird time offset.

Isn't that true? It guarantees that the index will be up-to-date [0]. The index is not the port skeleton. To be honest, I don't know the depths of how make index works. I just know that make readmes or portupgrade will complain if I use a refuse file in /usr/ports/sup and tell me to make index [1]. Beforehand, I used the refuse file so I didn't have to cvsup stuff I wasn't going to install. > I'm never going to > install more than a small fraction of the ports, so putting the > entire tree on my site seems wasteful, especially if I have to constantly > update it. I suppose I'm nit-picking here, but you would cron it rather than running it by hand. > I do have the tree on my production server, but only because > I had a lot more disk space to play with. How much space have you got to play with? If space is tight, running make distclean after make install helps, as does periodically deleting the contents of /usr/ports/distfiles A refuse file would have helped you. Can anyone explain or point to a reference as to why this no longer works? [2] [0] if you mean, by "pull the index from an ftp site" cd /usr/ports && make index [1] this behaviour started happening at 4.10 or thereabouts. I don't know why, and I haven't had the time to research it. [2] well, the refuse file works. But the fact that the ports tree has been altered makes 'make readmes' complain. -- lists@reiteration.net From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 07:12:59 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DA4D116A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 07:12:59 +0000 (GMT) Received: from dan.emsphone.com (dan.emsphone.com [199.67.51.101]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 73E6443D2D for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 07:12:59 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dan@dan.emsphone.com) Received: (from dan@localhost) by dan.emsphone.com (8.13.1/8.13.1) id j1R7CrLA052960 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 01:12:53 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from dan) Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 01:12:53 -0600 From: Dan Nelson To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050227071253.GD8778@dan.emsphone.com> References: <738952320.20050226202358@wanadoo.fr> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <738952320.20050226202358@wanadoo.fr> X-OS: FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE X-message-flag: Outlook Error User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.8i Subject: Re: Constant mysterious SCSI errors X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 07:13:00 -0000 In the last episode (Feb 26), Anthony Atkielski said: > I get constant streams of messages concerning my disks on the console > whenever I have a lot of disk activity on my system (2x SCSI disks, > no IDE or other disks).

The problem was caused by during the 4.11 development the ports people decided it was to cpu intensive to do nightly builds of the INDEX file. So they stopped doing it. Later on when the release was done what should have been done wnen making up the CD is they should have done a make index first, then copied the files to the CD.

There's many of the core team that make a living consulting with FreeBSD and that has been going on for years. What you really mean to say is that they will never get any CHEAP help from anywhere else, whereas with Windows since it's common as dogshit, there's enough activity in the huge number of Windows forums that your bound to run across the answer to your question, for free, if you fish around for it long enough.

Yes, but THAT index your looking at is only for the PRECOMPILED programs - the packages. These are not updated except right before a release. The ports uses a different INDEX. > If not, how can I update something that > isn't even on my system? For the absolute vast majority of software packages that are covered by the ports tree, the ports tree that is installed from the FreeBSD cdrom's or distribution is adequate. You can just make install right out of that tree with no problem. Firefox is different because it has not been out long and still is undergoing a lot of development by the Mozilla people. As a result the port for it changes quite a lot.

I found references to SCSI "quirks" on the Net, but not knowing much about SCSI, I wasn't sure which might apply to my situation. Can you explain what all these messages are actually saying?

Reseat all the plugs :) Well, there haven't been any cabling or termination problems in the past eight years, so it seems unlikely that they've appeared today. I think I can safely rule out any type of actual hardware problem. It's either a software configuration problem or a software bug (which might mean a quirk, I suppose). (Note also that these two drives and the controller are on the internal connector of the controller, and although the controller provides an external connector, too, there's nothing connected to it--which further makes cabling or termination problems unlikely.) -- Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 09:24:03 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DAA6716A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:24:03 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mta5.srv.hcvlny.cv.net (mta5.srv.hcvlny.cv.net [167.206.5.78]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 940FD43D55 for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:24:03 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsdnooby@optonline.net) Received: from [192.168.0.25] (ool-43532b7b.dyn.optonline.net [67.83.43.123]) by mta5.srv.hcvlny.cv.net (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004)) with ESMTP id <0ICK00EGKCS2UU@mta5.srv.hcvlny.cv.net> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 04:24:03 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 04:24:16 -0500 From: bsdnooby To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <422191C0.3030007@optonline.net> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Accept-Language: en-us, en User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (X11/20050226) Subject: Which app to watch movies?

So the solution is to set the time and time _zone_ correctly on your machine. For a UNIX machine, the CMOS real-time clock should be set to UTC (what many people still call GMT), and then your time zone should be set to whatever is appropriate for your location (CET would correspond to most of Europe outside of the UK--here in France we are on CET). Are you by any chance running a dual-boot configuration? Windows expects the CMOS RTC to be set to local time. UNIX expects it to be set to UTC. If you are running only FreeBSD, you can just reset the CMOS to UTC and fix your time zone to match your location. If you are also running a boot of Windows or something like that, you'll have to leave the CMOS clock set to local time, and make appropriate adjustments. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which variables to change in FreeBSD, as I've always just set the time at installation time (when I'm asked if the local clock is UTC and what time zone I'm in). Maybe someone else can explain what needs to change in your FreeBSD configuration to set it to the correct time. In general, setting the time incorrectly on a local client machine in the SMTP protocol will produce seemingly random errors in the time on received messages, depending on the path they follow on their way to you (this is true even for messages you send to yourself). The local machine is almost always the one with the time set incorrectly (incorrect time on mail servers tends to be noticed by users very quickly, especially if more than one time zone is involved). -- Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 09:44:36 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D2BE016A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:44:36 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp11.wanadoo.fr (smtp11.wanadoo.fr [193.252.22.31]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F72843D3F for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:44:36 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from atkielski.anthony@wanadoo.fr) Received: from me-wanadoo.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mwinf1104.wanadoo.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id C32B91C0009A for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:44:35 +0100 (CET) Received: from pix.atkielski.com (ASt-Lambert-111-2-1-3.w81-50.abo.wanadoo.fr [81.50.80.3]) by mwinf1104.wanadoo.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id AA98D1C00090 for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:44:35 +0100 (CET) X-ME-UUID: 20050227094435698.AA98D1C00090@mwinf1104.wanadoo.fr Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:44:35 +0100 From: Anthony Atkielski X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <966377856.20050227104435@wanadoo.fr> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: References: <1938293259.20050226172919@wanadoo.fr> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Is Yahoo! moving from FreeBSD?

Well, no, time zone isn't arbitrary, it needs to be chosen carefully. Normally you set it to the time zone the machine is actually in (though for remote servers one can set it for the time zone the machine actually serves). Time zone can also influence the changeover dates and times for Daylight Saving Time, if that is used (if you're in Arizona, it's not). I'm not sure how this is handled in FreeBSD, but it always seems to magically set itself on my machines at the appropriate time. Even more important, however, is setting the real-time clock to UTC. > Thanks for pointing that out to me.

This is pretty annoying since it cost a lot of money. I was really stupid, in that, I had a years technical support from Mathwords, but kind of gave up because their suggestions got me nowhere and it was quicker just to use a pirated copy on windows than follow their suggestions when really that was the perfect opportunity to continually badger them; since I was paying for it they were obliged to respond... The problem is the license manager as far as I can tell, I can't seem to get it to start. OK, there are a lot of different pieces of information I could post at this point, but I'm not sure which are most relevant. So, first of all, I think a sensible question I should ask is this: Has anyone on this list got Matlab 13 (aka 6.5) running on FBSD5.3? If so, did you do this by following the instructions in the handbook verbatim, or some other way? thanks cali From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 11:53:20 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E83DA16A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 11:53:20 +0000 (GMT) Received: from vsmtp1alice.tin.it (vsmtp1alice.tin.it [212.216.176.144]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5D15343D31 for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 11:53:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from nobody@localhost.it) Received: from localhost (82.55.192.25) by vsmtp1alice.tin.it (7.0.027) id 420B283900196DF3 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:53:17 +0100 Received: from localhost (unknown [127.0.0.1]) by localhost (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3AB5613D for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:53:17 +0100 (CET) Received: by localhost (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 0D6E0613B; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:53:16 +0100 (CET) Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:53:16 +0100 From: Santo Natale To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <002701c51cc0$d1e806f0$0201a8c0@SPECULUSHX1THE> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <002701c51cc0$d1e806f0$0201a8c0@SPECULUSHX1THE> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Message-Id: <20050227115316.0D6E0613B@localhost> Subject: Re: Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 11:53:21 -0000 Hi, I managed to install matlab 6.5 on a freebsd 5.3, but I can't tell you exactly how I did now, since I have no matlab here. I remember that I played a bit with scripts regarding the detection of architecture ( I just edited these scripts and forcely set environment variable to i386 or so ) and did few other modifications, but they were quite simple. You should manage to get it running, however. hope this gives you one more hope :) regards, santo natale On Sun, Feb 27, 2005 at 11:37:04AM -0000, cali wrote: > I've tried installing Matlab 13 on FBSD5.3 according to the handbook but I > can't get it to work.

I however get the message WARNING: sysctl net.key.preferred_oldsa does not exist when I put net.key.preferred_oldsa=0 in sysctl. I take it that this new variable has not yet been integrated into this version of FreeBSD.

I read about address space division of recent operating systems like Linux and Windows XP. In both cases, the whole address space of the 32 or 64 Bit system is divided into halfes, 2GB for kernel, 2 GB for process(es) (speaking in 32Bit words). The same in 64bit systems like AMD64. Those who happily utilize an AMD64 based machine are not (yet) involved by this problem, but on recent 32 Bit architectures someone can run out of process space, like me! Some geophysical modelling software needs more than the allowed 2GB address space and therefore I would like to ask whether FreeBSD (my preferred OS) has a 'knob' to change the kernel/userland parity of the address space like it is done in Windows with a special knob at boot time (/W3GB I think, but I'm not sure about the exakt syntax but I know someone can change the half by half parity towards 1 to 3 in XP). I'm not sure whether FreeBSD divides kernel/userland address space this way, I know Linux and Windows does and on Windows we changed this (not yet on Linux and not yet on our FreeBSD machines (OS version >5.0, mostly FreeBSD 5.3-R or 5.4-PRERELEASE). Any help is appreciated.

Being somewhat of a newvie, I should probably not be saying anything, but that's the assumption that nailed you. If I understand the situation correctly, what you got was information on *packages* available when the OS version was released, a subset of available ports. And this time around, that list was not in a totally self-consistent state. My own experiences have given me a definite bias toward using the ports system to compile stuff to be added to my system rather than going with the binary packages. I get the impression that many port maintainers who are fairly careful about keeping their port versions workable and patched only give a relative lick and promise to their packages. -LenZ- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 13:54:50 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C687816A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:54:50 +0000 (GMT) Received: from web54002.mail.yahoo.com (web54002.mail.yahoo.com [206.190.36.226]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 31F3643D4C for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:54:50 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from spamrefuse@yahoo.com) Received: (qmail 63997 invoked by uid 60001); 27 Feb 2005 13:54:49 -0000 Comment: DomainKeys?

I need to change the MAC address of my PC. I know it can be done like this: ifconfig rl0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66 So I guessed I could make life a little easier by adding this in my /etc/rc.conf file as: ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.123.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66" However, this does not seem to work. No IP address is assigned to the LAN card after bootup. Apparently something is wrong here. Any idea how I can do this at bootup?

I just thought that CET was central time :) Yes sysinstall's as good a way as any, it'll set your timezone and also let you choose between running with a UTC or local time CMOS clock. Or you can manually tun tzsetup(8) and create (or not) /etc/wall_cmos_clock .. see adjkerntz(8) Take little notice of people opining that you must or even should run CMOS UTC time; that's entirely up to you. I've always preferred local time CMOS clocks personally; sysinstall creates /etc/wall_cmos_clock and cron runs 'adjkerntz -a' halfhourly at times when daylight savings time might come or go in your zone, and that's always worked fine here. The only thing to watch running wall_cmos_clock is that if you boot to single user mode, before /etc/rc has run 'adjkerntz -i' the system will assume CMOS is UTC, so any files then modified show timestamps in UTC (discovered the hard way in Jan 2000 on a box with a broken y2k BIOS :) Cheers, Ian From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 13:59:35 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 794C916A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:59:35 +0000 (GMT) Received: from lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (mail.bathnetworks.com [84.92.24.252]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2956A43D5E for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:59:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsd@bathnetworks.com) Received: (qmail 25962 invoked by uid 510); 27 Feb 2005 14:00:25 +0000 Received: from 192.168.0.30 by lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk (envelope-from , uid 508) with qmail-scanner-1.24-st-qms (clamdscan: 0.83/710. spamassassin: 3.0.2. perlscan: 1.24-st-qms.

I have a new install of FreeBSD on a single IDE drive. I have backed this up so I am not too concerned about drive failure. I have now added 2, 250 Gbyte drives (ad3 and ad4) to hold data. I would like to mirror them using sofware raid and mount them as /home to hold the users data which is critical. I have read the manual and searched the web for a simple way to do the above. The manual seems to cover complex solutions and may be somewhat behind the times. I guess what I am looking for is a howto couched in such a way that even a windows user can understand :-). Any suggestions please.

FreeBSD divides the 32bit virtual address space with 1GB for the kernel and 3GB for user processes. This can be changed with some kernel compile- time constants (primarily KVA_PAGES, however NKPT may also need to be increased if the kernel address space is increased). -DG David G.

I would suggest you ignore the section that describes 'ccd'. It is easier to set up than vinum but I have found the current implementation of ccd to be unreliable. If you are using FreeBSD 5.x (hopefully 5.3), use gvinum instead of vinum. It works the same way (commands and options) as vinum but (from what I understand) it has some improvements. > I guess what I am looking for is a howto couched in such a way that even a > windows user can understand :-). I assume you have physically installed your two disks (ad3, ad4). If you have not done so yet, use fdisk(8) to create a single slice (what Windows calls a partition). This can also be done through sysinstall Also, if you have not done so yet, use bsdlabel(8) to create a FreeBSD partition (no Windows equivalent). Be sure to set the 'fstype' to 'vinum'. At this stage I will assume that you have set up your two disks so that you have ad3s1a and ad4s1a as the slices you wish to use for vinum. I think you can do this with sysinstall as well. NOTE: you do not need to use newfs to create the filesystem, that would happen after you have setup your RAID volumes. Create a file, we will call it gvinum.conf and put the following into it: # Define the FreeBSD Partitions to be used for Vinum drive a device /dev/ad3s1a drive b device /dev/ad4s1a # # Define each volume/plex/subdisk volume home # home volume plex org concat # concatinated plex (1st half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive a # 1st subdisk of concatinated plex plex org concat # concatinated plex (2nd half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive b # 1st subdisk of 2nd concatinated plex Now, use the vinum(8) 'create' command to set things up using the configuration file. You should now have a /dev/gvinum/home device. You can newfs it, mount it, and add it to your /etc/fstab. newfs /dev/gvinum/home mount /dev/gvinum/home /home > Any suggestions please. Do read and try to understand chapter 17 of the FreeBSD handbook if you want to get into software RAID. Rob, you really need to understand how software RAID works if you want to take advantage of it. When you have a disk failure, you need to know what to do to recover your data. In order to do that you really need to understand how the software RAID works. You may want to consider setting up a seconds FreeBSD partition on each of your two new disks so that you can fiddle with RAID and figure out how to recover from a disk failure. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 27 15:33:08 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B264116A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:33:08 +0000 (GMT) Received: from rwcrmhc12.comcast.net (rwcrmhc12.comcast.net [216.148.227.85]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 650B243D54 for ; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:33:08 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from andy@firman.us) Received: from music (pcp0010742749pcs.howard01.md.comcast.net[69.243.82.98]) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc12) with ESMTP id <2005022715330801400hksj0e>; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:33:08 +0000 Received: from andy by music with local (Exim 4.43) id 1D5QOS-0005vI-6P for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:31:40 -0500 Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:31:40 -0500 From: Andy Firman To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050227153139.GA22766@music> References: <200502271359.36162.bsd@bathnetworks.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200502271359.36162.bsd@bathnetworks.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040907i Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.3 - Raid X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Andy Firman List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:33:08 -0000 On Sun, Feb 27, 2005 at 01:59:35PM +0000, Robert Slade wrote: > I have a new install of FreeBSD on a single IDE drive.

Someone else already recommended GEOM which I also recommend. I just setup gmirror for the fist time and I am very impressed with it. I did drive failure simulations for both ad0 and ad2 and was able to reconstruct the mirror each time.

It's generally the best option for people who need to upgrade to the latest version string, such as for satisfying corporate security "experts". Beyond that, the only real use of ports upgrades is for people who insist on staying with older base versions. > My question is how to upgrade OpenSSH as included with > 5.2.1.

There are several answers, but the usual one is to update the entire base system. FreeBSD is designed to be a complete operating system, rather than to be updated piecemeal; the advantage is that you don't have to worry about dependencies between the pieces, but the disadvantage is that, well, you have to update everything at once. In the case of people still running 5.2.1, I'd definitely recommend updating the whole thing -- after all, 5.2.1 wasn't recommended for production use at the time it was released, and 5.3 was. Another answer is the FreeBSD-update port (security/freebsd-update), but it doesn't support custom kernels. If you're updating because of a security problem that had a security advisory issued for it, then the advisory will generally include patches and directions for applying and building them. Doing this for arbitrary sets of code updates is usually possible, but difficult for anyone who doesn't have developer-level understanding of source code control. Good luck.

It's the number of page table pages that are assigned to the kernel address space. Each page maps 4MB, so 256 (the default) provides for 1GB of kernel virtual address space, leaving 3GB for user space. -DG David G.

Theoretically, one could use 'fsdb -r' in a scripted manner, to generate a mapping of file names to blocks (relative to the partition of the file system you are mapping). Once you have the blocks, you'll need to do so artithmetics to map those blocks to LBA address ranges (perhaps via GEOM or using data in disklabels). Finally, you'll have to locate the range for a particular LBA address and work backwards up to the inode #, and then to the filename(s) that link to that inode. Perhaps there's already a system utility or port for this?

Something at the dump/restore stage went wrong or your /etc/fstab is wrong. Delete /boot.congig an boot from the initial disk, btw. is your second driv= e=20 really on primary slave? That's why I hate how-tos, people just type it wor= d=20 by word without knowing what they do. If your disk ist secondary master, it's not ad1 but ad2, in GENERIC ata is= =20 compiled with ATA_STATIC_ID. =46orget the howto and read the man pages, it's the shorter way if the howt= o=20 doesn't work for you.

Actually, several questions!!!! First let me explain what I have, then what I want to do. I have 2 machines which I want to run FreeBSD on. So far I have set one of them up, a P-II machine, as a file & print server. Next set up a P-III machine for day to day use as a workstation. Since neither of these machines are particularly powerful I want to be able to optimise the performance of them both. I don't mind sitting and waiting for compiles now it if means better performance later. Particularly on the workstation as I will be doing some fairly intensive things on it (eg multimedia). So on the P-II machine I installed 5.3-RELEASE with no problems. I then re-built the kernel with the I686_CPU option set and a load of unnecessary drivers removed. This saved about 4MB right away. I then used CVSup to update the ports and installed Samba and one or two others. I thought I was doing pretty well since I can print and read files from both Windows and other *NIX machines, but I have since realised that I probably don't have the best optimisations in place. Having spent some more time reading the handbook and various bits on the web I think I know what to do, but would really appreciate some independent confirmation. First, I think I need to edit the /etc/make.conf file. This is what I think I should have in place: CPUTYPE ?= p2 # or p3 on my workstation CFLAGS = -O -pipe # O2 and above not recommended? COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe I am not sure I understand the difference between CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS. Am I right in saying that COPTFLAGS is used for kernel builds and CFLAGS is used for everything else? If so, should they be set the same, or can I safely increase the -O setting in CFLAGS? Is there anything else I need to set? Assuming the settings above are right, now I guess I can rebuild my kernel again without changing the configuration but I should now have p2 specific code? Is there anything in the kernel config file I need to check? Do I even need to rebuild since I had the I686_CPU setting? Next I guess I need to re-build the rest of the userland apps. Is it simply a case of building world, or do I have to go through the whole upgrade procedure as described in the Handbook? I want to stick to -RELEASE, does this change (bug/security fixes)? If so, how do I update? I can see CVSup config files for -CURRENT and -STABLE, but not for -RELEASE. I guess the last step is to recompile the ports I have installed. Is there a quick way to rebuild just the ports I have installed or do I need to go through them all one by one and 'make install clean' them? Anything else I have missed? Sorry for so many questions in one go!
