For me the section that seemed to be most relevant was "29.3.3.1.4 WEP". So I chose the example as a template to configure my device. In the hindsight, after spending a few hours in correctly configuring my wireless device, I realized that the document could have saved me those hours if only it had used wep key index of 1 instead 3 in the example. I would like to raise the following concerns 1) A novice would not know that WEP access points can use any of the four keys it uses for encryption and that all these keys have to be set correctly. I got to know this only after reading the wikipedia page on WEP at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy . Further that most access points only use one key and I believe the index of this key is mostly 1. This discussion could be added to some subsection. 2) The above discussion can be deemed to be too technical to be included in the document. However changing the wep key index from 3 to 1 would save many more novices like me hours of searching, reading, agony etc. The bottom line is "Is the wep key index most likely to be 1? If so the document should use that number in the examples." Please let me know if I should file a document bug about this. regards, Krishna.

Ideally, they should all be listed in the man page. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Aug 11 11:06:08 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9CFF71065682 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:08 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::28]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87CC18FC18 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:08 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (gnats@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.2/8.14.2) with ESMTP id m7BB68TG046252 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:08 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.2/8.14.1/Submit) id m7BB67kl046249 for freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:07 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:07 GMT Message-Id: <200808111106.m7BB67kl046249@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: gnats set sender to owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org using -f From: FreeBSD bugmaster To: FreeBSD doc list Cc: Subject: Current unassigned doc problem reports X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:06:08 -0000 Current FreeBSD problem reports The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users. These represent problem reports covering all versions including\nexperimental development code and obsolete releases.\n Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The problem is understood and a solution is being sought. f - feedback Further work requires additional information from the originator or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a proposed solution. p - patched A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or confirmation from originator) are still open. r - repocopy The resolution of the problem report is dependent on a repocopy operation within the CVS repository which is awaiting completion. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended. c - closed A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated, documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.

I'm not sure it's a bug since we clearly mention what key we use and that people have to be sure what key they use.

[...] Sorry I misread, you talked about the "index". The same remark can be done, the text following the command line explains the "3": - The wepkey means setting the selected WEP key. It should in the format index:key, if the index is not given, key 1 is set. That is to say we need to set the index if we use keys other than the first key. I'll stop to pasting, the rest of the text also invites the read to look for more information inside ifconfig(8) manual page and the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf config rings bells one this points. -- Marc From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Aug 11 12:05:02 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7FDE310656E0 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:05:02 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gkmohan@gmail.com) Received: from yx-out-2324.google.com (yx-out-2324.google.com [74.125.44.29]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 258F28FC16 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:05:01 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gkmohan@gmail.com) Received: by yx-out-2324.google.com with SMTP id 8so585990yxb.13 for ; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:05:01 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:to :subject:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type :content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; bh=PWNtFONPyl5fjlJX0X6jjrFd5td9PVk/Wrv40jF+qEY=; b=wEZoE4HtcDMf7nj4KlI2FRWOBS+cukdWKS5rCVqVWP7DOtLPqPmvB0QXutZ34nybps FVT5w2u+RAQanPbeyYC8zyHq02mlDXiLCnQa9d4MFp+tUOrVnP4D7RCZBCqYNc30YB6W +B/5nUUtoklsWYJJJebTZ9cFFkpvvy4AiOJew= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=message-id:date:from:to:subject:in-reply-to:mime-version :content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition :references; b=cPDzHmgtgnfIRSlqF9dZgru2qSUJCdDvGWtlZjL6/MU+8LdV+X8YSySqVH0gCqzS3F K736Z+UgxBFznmXVXN/o+LQUgshRpOrZ3/TE0U59pGX5GKPwNyfqtrhIjOoKQ4XyCA7f frvrkp4haJqJnzq7uJ0dLue5ue+kwitSchWm4= Received: by 10.150.12.3 with SMTP id 3mr12192104ybl.18.1218456301225; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:05:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.65.254.17 with HTTP; Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:05:01 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <70ec82800808110505r4b2840c7tfab4ff456e890653@mail.gmail.com> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:05:01 -0700 From: "Krishna Mohan Gundu" To: "Marc Fonvieille" , freebsd-doc@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <20080811103525.GA1022@gothic.blackend.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <70ec82800808110235g293bd777i647e13873d640f35@mail.gmail.com> <20080811103525.GA1022@gothic.blackend.org> Cc: Subject: Re: wep key index in examples of section 29.3 in handbook X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:05:05 -0000 Hi Marc, At the outset let me just say that I understand the perspective of your argument.

I did read this note. My wireless router configuration has no mention of different keys. It simply takes a key for encryption. So I was immediately thrown off this key business. Third key did not make any sense to me. The fact that some access points have provision for only one key is not clear from any documentation. Probably it helps here if a note like this is added "Some access points take only one key, in which case use 1 for key index" >> 2) The above discussion can be deemed to be too technical to be >> included in the document. However changing the wep key index from 3 to >> 1 would save many more novices like me hours of searching, reading, >> agony etc. >> > > The same will happen for people who have a config with a different key > from the number 1 :) In this case, I believe people will be aware of the fact that access points use multiple keys. If they have configured the router themselves, they will be aware that for some reason they have chosen such and such keys. cheers, Krishna.

What do you think about something like: "Note: If you do not have any idea of what is the key used by your access point, you should try to use 1 for both of the key and the index." -- Marc From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 12 12:14:38 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 42DEA1065671 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:14:38 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from joseph.koshy@gmail.com) Received: from yw-out-2324.google.com (yw-out-2324.google.com [74.125.46.29]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F3CBB8FC25 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:14:37 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from joseph.koshy@gmail.com) Received: by yw-out-2324.google.com with SMTP id 9so761351ywe.13 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:14:37 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:to :subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type :content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; bh=tv3bW9TjpCaaYrEnMLS2qymb4KvDMWsxuBd7s7WYoeI=; b=hdl+1KsHTBTpsFZ08PjHcGWx4Dz+FpsfzbnK7LMbN/Frz3pz0DOiyevSoLdwiom3br W9My0t7BVa6F1d+8Ru47fWC6ynbfd1ZUjrqBgGMYkPBjHS4N9Oy9zWwaPwU4QiUgVOJC Jjuwuua0ew6IFsjEbfNfMASBoY/jaWwOl8DBg= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=message-id:date:from:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version :content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition :references; b=gXGWnd6gigUPGYkIbeMdHDqq521amungte8ASpiswBPbDGrjHRM9I78z/r1icPWH/x 6AIqgFj+H16hBwWwxOTCKKfy1k/ZmhdMNwjeHu/rRUdJJvnBvX0EZUTggNr8C/X3oaTX 1HqoajT+9+DSRheIGS7rziU1taxfK1IOcauW0= Received: by 10.150.97.19 with SMTP id u19mr14195589ybb.165.1218541801589; Tue, 12 Aug 2008 04:50:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.150.140.11 with HTTP; Tue, 12 Aug 2008 04:50:01 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <84dead720808120450pc7584c3je8c07a7ef7708c1a@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:20:01 +0530 From: "Joseph Koshy" To: booloo@ucsc.edu In-Reply-To: <20080807180823.GA50174@root.ucsc.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <20080807180823.GA50174@root.ucsc.edu> Cc: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: MarkMail indexing FreeBSD mailing lists X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:14:38 -0000 > There is an outdated link on > > http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists > > that points to GeoCrawler.

Note however that in the res_findzonecut2 function, the 7th parameter has type (union res_sockaddr_union *) rather than type (struct in_addr *) as for the original function, res_findzonecut. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: From owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 12 21:56:09 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@hub.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C5FA8106566B;

What do you think about something like: > > "Note: If you do not have any idea of what is the key used by your > access point, you should try to use 1 for both of the key and the > index." If I may correct "Note: If you do not have any idea of what key is used by your access point, you should try to use 1 for both weptxkey and index." I think using same formatting style and names introduces less ambiguity. cheers, Krishna.

 Man page now says:
 
 ERRORS
      The functions atol() and atoll() need not affect the value of errno on=
  an
      error.
 
 That line doesn't make sense, it should be replaced with:
 
 ERRORS
      The functions atol() and atoll() do not affect the value of errno on a=
 n
      error.
 
 or
 
 ERRORS
      The functions atol() and atoll() do not affect the value of
      errno in case of an error.

If it fails, the rest of the chain still runs, but the final result will be failure unless a later module succeeds. Nevertheless the chain isn't broken when there are modules with a "required" flag. Here is an example: auth sufficient pam_unix.so debug no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so debug Hence, pam_deny will be invoked even if pam_unix succeeds. If the above is changed to: auth sufficient pam_unix.so debug no_warn try_first_pass auth sufficient pam_deny.so debug then pam_deny isn't invoked as it has the "sufficient" flag now. I checked the manual page for pam.conf(5) in FreeBSD 8-current and it contains the same definition of "sufficient" as shown above. I checked it here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pam.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8-current&format=html Hence, it would be helpful if the definition be changed to: sufficient = If this module succeeds and the following modules are sufficient, the chain is broken and the result is success. If it fails, the rest of the chain still runs, but the final result will be failure unless a later module succeeds. Valeriu -- Valeriu Mutu Penn Center for Bioinformatics 215-573-8119
