Somebody should have mentioned this by now: http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200308/courier-imap.html I don't fully understand it but found instructions somewhere in the courier-imap package to add this line to /etc/rc.conf: courier_imap_imapd_enable=YES In short I did and it does.

Where can I go to find upstream newsfeeds? I'm working on setting up a local news server and I want to obtain a few specific blocks of newsgroups for local users. I don't know what they're going to want to access at this point, but I think you get the idea. Thanks. _______________________________________________________ Eric F Crist "I am so smart, S.M.R.T!"

The basic problem is that upon reboot, two of my vinum drives show up as "referenced" and thus create the associated chaos. I've tried many things and fiddled around quite a bit so I can't say exactly what I've done. I can include all of the entries in the history file since Oct. 31 if that's a help but it would be a long list. So prior to digging that deep, I will describe where I stand currently and where I want to finish. Currently, I have one vinum volume that I use for /usr. Fortunately this volume is up and running or I would really be in a mess. Here's the 'vinum list' output in this state: blacklamb# vinum vinum -> list 2 drives: D disk1 State: up Device /dev/da0s1h Avail: 0/8383 MB (0%) D disk2 State: up Device /dev/da1s1h Avail: 0/8383 MB (0%) 1 volumes: V usr State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 16 GB 1 plexes: P usr.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 16 GB 2 subdisks: S usr.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 8383 MB S usr.p0.s1 State: up PO: 256 kB Size: 8383 MB I want to add another volume and mount it on /ftp. After creating the volume, vinum sees it and it appears OK as indicated in this output: vinum -> list 5 drives: D disk1 State: up Device /dev/da0s1h Avail: 0/8383 MB (0%) D disk2 State: up Device /dev/da1s1h Avail: 0/8383 MB (0%) D ftp1 State: up Device /dev/ad0s1h Avail: 0/76319 MB (0%) D ftp2 State: up Device /dev/ad1s1h Avail: 0/76319 MB (0%) D ftp3 State: up Device /dev/da3s1h Avail: 0/114473 MB (0%) 2 volumes: V usr State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 16 GB V ftp State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 260 GB 2 plexes: P usr.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 16 GB P ftp.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 3 Size: 260 GB 5 subdisks: S usr.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 8383 MB S usr.p0.s1 State: up PO: 256 kB Size: 8383 MB S ftp.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 74 GB S ftp.p0.s1 State: up PO: 74 GB Size: 74 GB S ftp.p0.s2 State: up PO: 149 GB Size: 111 GB Next I 'quit' the vinum command line and fsck my newly created volume.

The system continues to run fine until the next reboot where the same problems start all over again. I also have the same problem with another volume I wish to run called "backup". How can I fix my vinum volumes so they survive reboots? Thanks for your help and Happy Holidays!

Well, as far as hardware goes for my tri-monitor, I usually have a Radeon 7500 and an geforce2 mx400 (or some other cruddy pci card) though I'm using a matrox G450 for the primary right now. Really, any combination of supported video cards will work about equally well. > Second, what is the support for something like this in > XFree86, or x.org ?

I'd like to say that this is a trivial thing to do, but I kind of doubt that it is. I know of no easy way to do this because X as it is now, assigns a "head" to a screen (where by head I mean a video card output) and in doing so, makes the "head" atomic in a sense. What it sounds like you'd like to do is create something smaller than this and assign it to a screen. It might be substantially easier to just purchase more monitors or learn to use virtual desktops. Good luck finding something that suits you :) -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.

Ah, I guess this is a place where the documentation hasn't yet been updated. I didn't think to check the manpage until just after I sent my message. FWIW, as a layman/FreeBSD newbie, I'd make a suggestion that the manpage for MAKEDEV make it a bit more clear that having 'devfs' means that MAKEDEV commands are no longer necessary because devfs will take care of it automatically. I found myself trying to read 'man devfs' to figure out a way to manually make cuaa0.

I was thinking Rendezvous would be easier than setting up lpd, but I might be wrong. I'm not even sure that my printers (Brother 1240 and HP Deskjet something) support Rendezvous or how it works.

I am installing FreeBSD 5.3 on a hp netserver LC2000r. The box is a dual processor P3 with three scsi2 drives running in a raid1 configuration with one hot spare. We have six of these boxes. Three of them are running FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 without a hitch. I decided to install 5.3 from CD on a fourth box and I am having a problem. I go through the install process. When it goes to write the file structure to the drives it does this in a around 1 second - this seems very fast. Then it starts copying from the CD and I quickly get the following error: "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)" I click ok and the next error message is: "unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0, do you want to try to retrieve it again?". So this has started me troubleshooting the possible causes of the problem: 1) First stop was to suspect the freebsd iso I had burnt was suspect. So I re burnt the cd and the problem persisted. I then suspected the ISO I had downloaded was corrupted. So I downloaded it again, burnt the cd but the problem still persisted. 2) I then suspected the second copy could have come from a cache and therefore may have the same problem as the first copy - so I checked the md5 signature but it lines up with the original from freebsd.org 3) I suspected the CD Rom drive - so I swapped it with one of our other Netserver boxes - problem still persisted. 4)I suspected a drive formatting problem - so I went back into the SCSI software, redid the raid drives and reformatted them - problem still persisted. 5) I suspected another hardware problem - so I pulled out FreeBSD 4.9 to see if that would install - and it did install without any errors. That sort of discounts there being any hardware problems. It points to something specific to freebsd 5.3. So this is where I have got to - FreeBSD 4.9 will install without errors but 5.3 will not install. I suspect the problem has to do with the initial setting up of the file structure - 5.3 is doing this in about one second whereas 4.9 takes closer to a minute to do this. Any thoughts or suggestion?

I believe FreeBSD 5.3 does support using UFS 1 in the install, just check the option in the disklabel program, but if the partitioning also fails then that may not be the problem. > > Lino > Webzone > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- I sense much NT in you.

I am a little lost on what you mean by virtual screen. But what you want is xinerama and a window manager that nicely supports it. Fluxbox last I checked did it nicely. Any ways, window placement and maximization and the like are a job of the window manager, not the X server. I eventually got annoyed with the xinerama part and went back to just letting them act like three seperate screens.

The configuration would be much like this: {Internet}--{Huge/NastyLAN}--{FreeBSDGate}--{SafeLAN} Most of what I see states that I should use a *minimum* of: 266Mhz processor 64MB RAM 1GB HD (actually ~2GB based on number desired security apps) 2 Compatible NIC's What I really had hoped to find, was more of an experienced networking guru's thumb rule equating the number of safeLAN workstations with the required gateway RAM/Processor; to enable all safeLAN users to experience a minimal network transaction time roughly equivalent to what they would see if plugged directly into a really good hub. Something maybe in the form of: Proc Speed = X*Users+Y RAM = W*Users+Z I am far too new at this to have a clue what numbers to use to even approximate. Any advice on this matter would be most appreciated. Thanks!

As far as the minimun amount of disk space is conserned the same thing as above goes, here is a FreeBSD router project that works on as little as 5MB: http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/ . Same thing goes for RAM and obviously you need to have at least two Network Interface Cards unless you wanted to route all traffic to /dev/null. >What I really had hoped to find, was more of an experienced >networking guru's thumb rule equating the number of safeLAN >workstations with the required gateway RAM/Processor; to >enable all safeLAN users to experience a minimal network >transaction time roughly equivalent to what they would see >if plugged directly into a really good hub. >Something maybe in the form of: >Proc Speed = X*Users+Y >RAM = W*Users+Z > > You would plug them into a switch not a hub.... if you did that then the router would be the least of your problems as the bottleneck is the hub now.

What you want, however, is something that has been on the wishlist for a little while now. Suspend-to-RAM has been around and works fine for a while, but Suspend-to-disc (which Linux currently has) is yet to be written. There have been suggestions of saving the RAM to swap space and shutting down. I hope to see someone put this into action soon. It'd be a great feature.

I'm specifically talking about freebsd on emulab.net. Yes, freebsd has had both corba and sun java for a long time. corba is needed by the gnome desktop which is very well supported on freebsd plus many gnome app even if you don't use the gnome desktop. Your pretty much guaranteed that freebsd will have corba already installed and running because of this. It uses ORBit, the same implementation used on linux and so all the same docs apply to freebsd, just check out orbits website. For java, freebsd can use ibm or sun's java implementation. ibm runs under linux emulation and sun can run under linux emulation or natively. There are also a few open source jvm's like kaffe available. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- I sense much NT in you.

Also, you have the blackdown-java project. AFAIK it's open source as well, and it uses the Linux compatibility. Last time I compiled Java you required a working Java enviroment before you were able to compile Sun's Java implementation. Might be handy to keep that in mind.

It uses a variable called MAILDIRPATH which isn't defined anywhere that I can find: =20 /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=3D$ADDRESS \ = -stderrlogger=3D${exec_prefix}/sbin/courierlogger \ -stderrloggername=3Dimapd \ -maxprocs=3D$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=3D$MAXPERIP \ -pid=3D$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \ $PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin $LIBAUTHMODULES \ ${exec_prefix}/bin/imapd ${MAILDIRPATH}" =20 If I delete ${MAILDIRPATH} and replace it with "./Maildir", then everything works fine. However, I imagine there is a better (i.e. recommended) place for me to put this information. This is a machine running 4.10REL. =20 Can somebody tell me where MAILDIRPATH is supposed to be defined within this new rc.subr scheme and also if anybody has any idea why the rc script uses a variable which is undefined? =20 Thanks! =20 Leonard =20 leonard@chung:/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap# more imapd.rc=20 #! /bin/sh # $Id: imapd.rc.in,v 1.26 2004/04/18 15:54:38 mrsam Exp $ # # Copyright 1998 - 2002 Double Precision, Inc. # See COPYING for distribution information. =20 =20 prefix=3D/usr/local exec_prefix=3D/usr/local bindir=3D${exec_prefix}/bin libexecdir=3D/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap =20 if test ! -f /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd then echo "/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd does not exist, forgot make install-configure?" exit 1 fi =20 if test ! -f /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl then echo "/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl does not exist, forgot make install-configure?" exit 1 fi =20 TLS_CACHEFILE=3D"" . /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl . /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd =20 case $1 in start) LIBAUTHMODULES=3D"" for f in `echo $AUTHMODULES` do LIBAUTHMODULES=3D"$LIBAUTHMODULES /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/authlib/$f" done =20 if test -x ${libexecdir}/authlib/authdaemond then /usr/bin/env - DEBUG_LOGIN=3D"$DEBUG_LOGIN" ${libexecdir}/authlib/authdaemond start fi =20 if test "$TLS_CACHEFILE" !=3D "" then rm -f $TLS_CACHEFILE fi =20 ulimit -v $IMAP_ULIMITD /usr/bin/env - /bin/sh -c " set -a ; prefix=3D/usr/local ; exec_prefix=3D/usr/local ; bindir=3D${exec_prefix}/bin ; libexecdir=3D/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap ; . /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd ; \ . /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl ; \ IMAP_STARTTLS=3D$IMAPDSTARTTLS ; export IMAP_STARTTLS ; = \ TLS_PROTOCOL=3D$TLS_STARTTLS_PROTOCOL ; \ /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=3D$ADDRESS \ = -stderrlogger=3D${exec_prefix}/sbin/courierlogger \ -stderrloggername=3Dimapd \ -maxprocs=3D$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=3D$MAXPERIP \ -pid=3D$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \ $PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin $LIBAUTHMODULES \ ${exec_prefix}/bin/imapd ${MAILDIRPATH}" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ;; stop) /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/couriertcpd -pid=3D$PIDFILE = -stop if test -x ${libexecdir}/authlib/authdaemond then ${libexecdir}/authlib/authdaemond stop fi ;; esac exit 0 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 2 12:42:24 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 8BE8616A4CE for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 12:42:24 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtprelay01.ispgateway.de (smtprelay01.ispgateway.de [80.67.18.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4B42843D45 for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 12:42:23 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd-listen@fabiankeil.de) Received: (qmail 31241 invoked from network); 2 Jan 2005 12:42:19 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO [192.168.2.48]) ([pbs]775067@[213.54.60.77]) (envelope-sender ) by smtprelay01.ispgateway.de (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for ; 2 Jan 2005 12:42:19 -0000 From: Fabian Keil To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 13:41:53 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.7 References: <20041231111916.86047.qmail@web50201.mail.yahoo.com> <200412310703.06294.algould@datawok.com> In-Reply-To: <200412310703.06294.algould@datawok.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200501021341.54023.freebsd-listen@fabiankeil.de> cc: babaloo munchies cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Production Release 5.3 Installation Won't Boot 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, 02 Jan 2005 12:42:24 -0000 On Friday 31 December 2004 14:03, Andrew L.

I'd be surprised, if the drive supported speed=1. "Low speed == better quality" is a myth, so I'd change the speed option with -sao (I believe -tao is still the default) and burn at maximum speed.

For connecting to internet I am using PPP via ISDN. One of my FreeBSD (4.10) boxes uses kernel sppp, the other one is configured with userland ppp. My isp charges the connection time in seconds resolution so I configured a very short hangup delay of 25 seconds after inactivity. This works fine for udp connections and also for smtp/pop/nntp, but not for http. After closing a web browser (I use konqueror or opera) "netstat -nf inet" shows a lot of active or closing connections. So I reduced all "net.inet.tcp.*" times I could find to not more than 15 seconds. This helped, but still from time to time I see a connection slowly dying in FIN_WAIT_1 state. That means, ppp disconnects and immediately dials again, disconnects again after 25 seconds without any traffic and dials again and so on... for about 3 minutes. I read through the tcp codebut, well, can't say, I really look through it. May be, there is still a hard-coded timeout, I could manipulate through an additional sysctl? I am rather sure that it is a problem of the tcp protocol (or its misuse), and not an isdn or ppp problem. (BTW, the windows software Fritz!ISDN, shipped with the AVM isdn card, does quite a good job with short hangup delays, but I don't know how) Any ideas? May be there is a way to RST a tcp connection in the ppp-down script? Or perhaps some stateful ipfw rule?

(i.e. I keep a backup drive unmounted, and mount it read-only when users need their data). The thing is, I have to mount it read-write in order to create the archive. Is there any way to make a file system read-only for normal users but read-write by root? This is a local filesystem. -Dan -- "It doesn't matter where I live, because I live in dataspace.

How much CPU/RAM you need is going to be dependant on more than just the number of computers involved. Two additional factors can play a large part: 1) The number of firewall rules and 2) the amount of traffic (such as UDP) that creates dynamic rules. Rules take time to process, and more traffic takes more time with more rules. UDP traffic usually requires stateful rules, and that generates dynamic rules, which increases the amount of time to process each packet. So it's important to design your ruleset carefully to avoid unnecessary processing. However, in my experience, the most critical hardware choice is the network cards themselves. Cheapo network cards will really hurt performance under load. So toss the cheapo Realtek cards into the trash and spend a little extra on an Intel or other name brand card designed for a server. As a general rule of thumb, I won't put FreeBSD on anything smaller than a 1Ghz with 128M of RAM and 4G of disk space. While you can get away with smaller, that's about the minimum before using the box for maintenance purposes becomes a terrible burdon.

In the first time, I don't want to recompile my kernel. So, I add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: if_fxp_load="YES" The driver loaded and the adapter identified as fxp0. But the system reboot every time while I tried to run ifconfig on fxp0. Did I do anything wrong using loadable module? Or loadable module support not stable on this release. The second time, I compile fxp driver to my new kernel and every thing seem work ok. This 82550 adapter has 3des support bulletin, how can I identify this function enabled? I alread use link0 parameter on ifconfig to load microcode as manual page instructed.

Actually, not really, as I've been unable to make modern versions of VMWare work on FreeBSD. But it's a great way to boot Linux under Windows, or FreeBSD under either, or have multiple OSes running simultaneously under a single computer. > What you want, > however, is something that has been on the wishlist for a little while > now.

When using tethereal to do captures, I found that nicing the capture process reduced the incidence of dropped packets to 0.

[...] Similarly to Mr. Foulk, I'm also in the market for a pair of NICs for a small organization's firewall/gateway (in this case using IPFilter). Per your plug for Intel, I'm browsing 3Com and Intel NICs right now on mwave.com. Intel 10/100 w 3DES - $63 http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=1562535 3Com 10/100 w 3DES - $92 http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=3387169 Why do you suppose that while the 3Com seems very similar to the Intel it costs $30 more? Perhaps because it specs more types of encryption than the Intel NIC? How would this hardware acceleration integrate w FreeBSD? Per some Linux binary compat (as both cards are compat w Linux kernel 2.2+)? Will the hardware encryption on these cards ever be useful in a firewall/gateway application?

Is this normal? I think it's rather impractical, since it prevents proper log rotation through newsyslog.conf (when using "file" logging in named.conf).

Here's what I did to determine the DNS that my ISP was assigning me. I changed the dhclient.conf back to empty and restarted the network. This then put the IPs of the two DNS servers assigned into my resolv.conf. I then took these two IPs and added them to my forwarders section in my named.conf. Rebooted and name lookup is much faster now. It only took my wife grumping about having to hit refresh 20+ times to bring up a web page in order for me to fix this since we've moved and changed ISPs.

Yes, this works here also. In the long run, it would probably be a good idea to make newsyslog understand arbitrary commands for restarting, instead of just sending a signal. mkb.

I need to write some very basic C programs under FreeBSD. I am new to Unix programming and not very good at C programming either, so I'm looking for documentation on some topics. The ones that are the most interesting for me now is how to write small daemons best and how to read ipfw info from a program. Man pages help me very much, but I really need some guide. The problem is that doc project doesn't seem to have released anything like it. I looked through dev-, arch-, porters- handbooks, read design-44bsd - but I didn't find what I want. Of course I can refresh my C skills and gain some Unix-coding knowledge by reading a couple' thousand pages, but I don't feel like it's necessary for what I want to write - just a basic statistics collector. Should I explore FreeBSD source code or is there some solid piece of documentation? Best wishes, Andrew P.

It's worked perfectly for months. As of a month ago, when I swapped the drive for another one, the drive has not worked properly. A few days ago, my employer went on-site (the server is colocated) to swap the drive. The new drive had the same problem, and rebooting the server did not correct the problem. It was also reported that the last time he unplugged the drive (the fs on the drive was not mounted) the system crashed; he has since not plugged in the drive. Now the details... dmesg shows that it found a mass storage device and properly identifies it, and usbdevs also reports the drive; however, attempting to mount the drive causes "mount: /dev/da0s1e: Device not configured" and the message "umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT" appears in the dmesg. The external drive uses device usb4, since usb0 through usb3 are reported as USB1. It was suggested that having both the USB1 (uhci) and USB2 (ehci) driver may be causing confusion in the kernel. I find this unlikely, though, since it's been working for months. Any thoughts or troubleshooting tips? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If that Brother 1240 is a b/w laser, you're going to need to setup apsfilter first. Then just make that printer accessible from the rest of the network.

Of course you could do that in C, but if all you need is a program that reads the output of other programs, and presents stats on some port as a daemon (and a client to read that out), why not just go for a scripted solution in Perl or Python? Both languages are much better than C when it comes to parsing strings, and they are very good at networking too. IMHO, the only reason (besides efficiency) to write a monitoring program in C is if you don't want (or can't afford) to install a perl or python interpreter on the nodes that you want to monitor. > Should I explore FreeBSD source code or is there some solid piece of > documentation? That's not necessary. If you want to write that in C, you'll have to familiarize yourself with the popen(3) call for executing a program and capturing its output. Then you need a few string processing functions like str*(3) sscanf() etc... to parse the output (that's the tricky part). Finally you will need a small example of a client and server in C that uses the sockets API (that's pretty generic and not FreeBSD-specific at all, just google for it). Combine all this and voila, you've got your nice monitoring app in C. Alternatively, you could extract the info directly from the kernel by performing exactly the same steps that your utility program (ipfw...) does, but it's overkill for such a simple app. But again, consider giving Python a try. It's well worth it for such basic tasks. > Best wishes, > Andrew P.

You're liable to get a LOT of opinion on this. Personally, the only thing I have against sendmail is that it's configuration makes me dizzy. I use Postfix, and I recommend it to most, as it does a nice job of being secure, yet easy to configure. > Furthermore, can someone recommend a decent POP3 and IMAP server? I've been using Dovecot for quite some time now. It's not even a 1.0 product yet, and I still find it excellent for both POP and IMAP. It includes support for both POP3S and IMAPS, which I find very important in this day and age. Postfix delivering to maildirs + Dovecot for POP3S/IMAPS makes a very reliable and secure setup in my opinion. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 2 20:30:20 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 B086816A4CF for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 20:30:20 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mx1.mail.ru (mx1.mail.ru [194.67.23.121]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4FA7643D1F for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 20:30:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from infofarmer@mail.ru) Received: from [83.237.208.152] (port=3919 helo=[172.17.0.69]) by mx1.mail.ru with esmtp id 1ClCMl-00084B-00; Sun, 02 Jan 2005 23:30:19 +0300 Message-ID: <41D859DC.5080400@mail.ru> Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2005 23:30:20 +0300 From: "Andrew P."

Considering sendmail's track record, the OpenBSD FAQ says something to the effect that the maintainers of sendmail are responsive to security issues, unlike many projects, and the code now appears to be as secure as anything else out there.

I've had bad experience so far with dovecot, including, but not limited to, lock file problems, hung imap processes in the bulk, and behaviour that neither matched the comments in the sample config file, nor the documentation (and both were contradictory), like the way to configure inbox and folder locations. Unless the OP has the time and resources to experiment, I'd suggest leaving that software alone for a while still until it has been stabilized, and go for proven alternatives like Cyrus or Courier (or even uw-imapd, if it's a one-person setup). mkb.

You have to make sure that your system is indeed using the proper executable and the proper libs. If you have things mixed you can have a serious problem. AFAIK everything is put in /compat/linux ... so deinstalling it wouldn't bring in too much problem. However, unless you have serious disk space problems, I can't see why risk to break stuff if it is not needed. Correct me if any of the above things are wrong, of course :) Cheers, Jorn From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 2 21:57:13 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 053C416A4CF for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 21:57:13 +0000 (GMT) Received: from ds.netgate.net (ds.netgate.net [205.214.170.232]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3DE443D2D for ; Sun, 2 Jan 2005 21:57:12 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from ctodd@chrismiller.com) Received: (qmail 3983 invoked from network); 2 Jan 2005 21:57:12 -0000 Received: from vp4.netgate.net (ibrew@205.214.170.248) by ds.netgate.net with SMTP; 2 Jan 2005 21:57:12 -0000 Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 13:57:12 -0800 (PST) From: ctodd@chrismiller.com X-X-Sender: ibrew@vp4.netgate.net To: Bill Moran In-Reply-To: <20050102100949.6d0822d5.wmoran@potentialtech.com> Message-ID: References: <20050102100949.6d0822d5.wmoran@potentialtech.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: Eric Kjeldergaard cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: write state to swap for multi-os boot 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, 02 Jan 2005 21:57:13 -0000 On Sun, 2 Jan 2005, Bill Moran wrote: > But it's a great way to boot Linux under Windows, or FreeBSD under > either, or have multiple OSes running simultaneously under a single > computer.

So have other MTAs, including one for Postfix not so long ago. Sendmail configuration can be charitably called "odd", but it's so widely used that answers can usually be found on google or groups.google.com.

Does anyone know of a good tutorial/howto for configuring sendmail on FreeBSD. My two books ('Absolute BSD' and 'The Complete FreeBSD') make little mention of sendmail configuration and focus on setting up postfix. The FreeBSD Handbook seems incomplete and glosses over details: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html 1.) How do I edit /etc/rc.conf to start sendmail at boot. 2.) Most of the configurations files seem pretty normal, but sendmail.cf seems quite obtuse. I guess I'm looking for a document that would walk a newbie through setting up sendmail on FreeBSD without being too arcane or not detailed enough. My experience with some of the other Oreilly books leads me to believe they're pretty generic; I doubt I'd find information on how to setup sendmail for FreeBSD.

I think you'll get this through the window manager. I'm only running two monitors with the Xinerama extensions (Xorg) but I use fvwm as my window manager. Just define your desktop to be a 1X2 area, and you'll have 2 screens for each monitor. I use 3X2, so I have 3 screens for each monitor. You can even use the pager to define multiple desktops, all using the same geography. If you want each screen to scroll individually of the others, meaning changing the screen on one monitor doesn't change the screen on the others, I'm not sure that's possible. Think of the monitors as a 3 paned window onto the desktop, and everything makes sense. Good luck.

I have been using the OS for over a year now and have become very familiar with installation/configuration but would like to be able to add some sort of certification to my CV. Also how much of a "threat" is Solaris 10 x86 to FreeBSD and how come FreeBSD is not as popular as RH/Fedora?
