I'll commit above message and to fix .texi's typos. Yes, there
are still typos in these ports's .text file. So there is still
a problem.
Now I'm waiting for portmgr's approval.

Hi, how can I specify what ftp mirror my system will use when
downloading distfiles during a port installation? I'm using 6.0.

I tired running the latest dvd-slideshow in slackware 10.2, and after
adding all of the required packages, it runs flawlessly. Very frustrating.

It is possible that you have sshd running standalone already and you
also have inetd trying to start sshd.

It means that you are running sshd as a daemon _and_ starting it from
inetd. You can't do both.

Acutally, I had the same problem the other day.
I found out that there where multipule copies of inetd running on my
system...
ps aux | grep inetd
If you kill em all and restart it, it should fix the problem. That's how I
fixed mine anyway's.

This is a little bit obscure but you basically didn't follow the generic
instructions on updating your system. You can get away without doing
the
mergemaster -p
most of the time but when you see a message about a missing user or
group, you have to add them to the appropriate file and carefully
running mergemaster -p will let you fix the problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Postfix SMTP server on my machine (FreeBSD 4.11). I
read the cheat notes here <http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/mail.html>
and I can get Postfix running. However, when I try to telnet in or connect
with Mozilla Thunderbird nothing happens.
Here is an example:
tom@killdozer$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.angrycoder.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
[some time goes by here...]
[I get angry and mash the escape character like a monkey] ^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
Here is some [hopefully!] useful info:
tom@killdozer$ ps auxw | grep post

I do things different. I run portupgrade, followed by buildworld installworld
and then kernel update and since i started back with 4.x i havent had any
problems doing it that way, untill this minor problem when trying to do
installworld :)

Either you forgot to do the command /usr/local/bin/newaliases

Hi fbsd_user,
Happy to help!
The tools I used were:

In terms of literature I read a great deal, all of which was helpful.

You might also like to look into the tool "gpart", the last link in the

Good luck!!

Hi Edwin, have you tried installing it while being chrooted
in /usr/compat/linux
also make sure to have /usr/compat/linux/proc mounted.
this has usually helped me with some linux software. Haven't tried with
your software in particular.

I don't get it. I'm trying to switch from a custom kernel named SERVER to a

Why isn't the GENERIC kernel taking effect? The make installkernel does say
generic.

I have been having a problem as of late with programs not running at
startup. When I finally goto to my local startup directory and call the
scripts directly I get an error of: "Network: not found". I can ping
properly out to the Internet, traceroute etc. The only firewall I have
on my box is IPF version 3.4.35 . Sudoing and also SUing produce the
same error message. More specifically I am getting the error message the
ports package 'milter-greylist'. I have also got this error message from
other programs in the past; although off the top of my head I can't
think of what these binaries are. This leads me to believe that it is
some esoteric network config issue.

grep KERNCONF /etc/make.conf yields what? Also, are you making your
kernel via a script?

Is there some extra magic to making install.cfg work when rolling a
release? I spent a fair amount of time this weekend preparing a custom
release based off releng_6_0, and it works great but for one tiny
detail..
After the installation is 'finished' and I reboot the system without
the CD, it hangs with the bios complaining that it can't find anything
to boot, which sounds suspiciously like the MBR wasn't written out
correctly. The disk part of my install.cfg says:
=====
disk=da0
bootManager=boot
partition=all
diskPartitionEditor
da0s1-1=ufs 524288 /
da0s1-2=swap 2097152 none
da0s1-3=ufs 524288 /var
da0s1-4=ufs 524288 /tmp
da0s1-5=ufs 0 /usr 1
diskLabelEditor
=====
The disk itself is setup absolutely correctly, the partitions are made,
and the instally goes according to task up to and including the package
installation... it just doesn't appear to Do The Right Thing when it
comes to actually making the hdd bootable.
Does this look like it should work? I've fiddled with various changes
to the "bootManager" and "partition" lines, so far to no avail. Am I
missing something here or should I start trying to figure out if the
test system will boot off *any* hard drive?
On a related note, when I make a change to this file, can I get away
with something less than a new full "make release?" Is make rerelase
or something else suitable when everything else is done and I'm just
fiddling with this file?
Thanks for any pointers. When I'm done with this I think I'm going to
submit a doc patch for the 'make release' instructions. They are
woefully inadequate for doing anything other than making a copy of your
own release (unautomated) installations, and the example install.cfg
still dates back to 4.x and jkh's laptop.. heh.

(Resending, didn't get the mailing list in the last copy)
No script, just running those commands manually.
%grep KERNCONF /etc/make.conf
%
All make.conf contains is a few WITH_ and WITHOUT_ switches for some ports
and the perl stuff. I commented out the optimization stuff a few tries ago.
%env | grep KERNCONF
%
I don't think its a KERNCONF issue because the "Installing kernel" output
starts with cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
Full output of make (about 2.6MB)

I'm afraid the only way to get comprehensive knowledge
at this time is to carefully study /etc/rc and /etc/rc.subr.
/etc/rc.d/* are nice examples.
It takes a couple of hours of reading the sources, in case
you're pretty familiar with sh.

Maybe you set your ident to something else:
$ grep ident /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
or whatever your arch is.

Looks like this script is expecting to find the GNU util, and that
they be installed in the usual GNU locations. On FreeBSD GNU wc is
installed as gwc (from ports).

These I don't know. But it might be that the interpreter is set to
/bin/sh, which on Linux is aqtually /bin/bash. I don't know, however.

These are probably because of some of the other errors. I think you
are far beter off trying to get the port to run on your FreeBSD
system, that to try to fix all these things yourself.
