For instance with my /usr/home partition mounted -o noatime, I always kept seeing in Mutt that my mbox folders contained new mail! The realization that Mutt uses atime as a quick check to see if the file contains new mail came a few hours and a lot of test mail afterwards. Since a lot of people might find this piece of information useful when they're trying to use noatime, I thought I'd just drop a note.

I finally got my FreeBSD box hooked up to the internet via @home and the rest of my network (okay, two other machines) can use it as a gateway! Thanks to all those worthy soldiers who hurled their knowledge, experience, and patience at the sturdy walls of my ignorance. My reach now exceeds my grasp as I don't understand all the implications of WHAT I've done but I know HOW I did it! Many books are on the way from Amazon and they should correct this imbalance. From my vantage point of experienced internet hacker (I've run ping AND whois!) I can now report with certainty that all of the instructions were incomplete and the so called manual "The Complete FreeBSD" is seriously flawed. Not once in all the web pages, archived letters, and helpful e-mails was I instructed to check my spelling when editing /etc/rc.conf! This major oversight cost me many frustrating days! And the manual just ASSUMES that I know which NIC is fxp0 and which one is fxp1! Stupid Manual! Well let bygones be bygones! I'm sure now that I've pointed out these errors a crack team is at work to correct them. Enough said! Now, who wants to help me set up my e-mail? Thanks again, John Purser P.S. If you reply please replay just to chat. I only posted to questions because that's were the people who helped heard my cries!

Put ppp.conf into /etc/ppp. It once was there anyway, but now its somewhere else, find / -name "ppp.conf*", and edit it, means put your phonenumer, username, password in the proper place, into the right "label". There is also the right com port to choose and speed for your modem, see the "default" label. If you have big problems, ask man ppp. The right label is, where you have pap, if you need it, for exemple.

The other day I wanted to get gnome gedit and 2 other packages via sysinstall/ftp.freebsd.org and besides the ones I needed I also got a whole bunch of libraries and so as dependences which I must have already installed originally. Although the directory was 3.3 these packages must be newer then the ones I installed from the cd which is fine. The questions I have are: a) if all packages in 3.3 directory are "current" including the kernel, and b) are the original libraries and stuff *replaced* by the new ones or I end up with 2 versions of the same. Also is there support for usb keyboard and mouse in 3.3 kernel?

In order for this to be useful for -newbies, I think it's better to discuss how one might determine the answer to this. One approach would be to look at the man page -- "man tcpdump". Unfortunately (in this case), the "synopsis" line doesn't show the full pathname. (That might possibly be worth sending a PR about, if a patch is included.) As a system administrator, though, I tend to include some directories in my "execution search path" (defined by the shell variable PATH) that aren't put in folks' paths by default... so I can do: pau-amma[15]% which tcpdump /usr/sbin/tcpdump pau-amma[16]% So on this system (pau-amma), it's in /usr/sbin. And that actually makes some sense -- and finally, here's a resource that folks might not know about, but that can be useful: man hier The name may seem obscure; it's short for "hierarchy". But that "man" page describes the intended purpose of the directories generally present in a FreeBSD system. And the line for /usr/sbin says "system daemons & system utilities (executed by users)".

I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and I've run into this problem. I like to use the "locate" command, but it's dependant on building a database of files on your system. In order to use it, first run: /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb (be forewarned that this takes awhile) This builds the search database.

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

Using /stand/sysinstall and/or pkg_add are a good way to quickly get the additional software packages you want installed after a fresh install of FreeBSD. However, more experienced users generally favor using the ports collection for the added flexibility and control it provides. There are some cases where you will, in fact, end up with more than one version of a set of libraries installed on your system. This is especially likely to occur if you continue adding new packages or new versions of existing packages without first removing the older ones. Unlike Windows, for example, where new apps are constantly overwriting older DLLs and such, leading to all sorts of trouble, in FreeBSD, libraries are named with their version numbers, so it's quite possible for multiple versions of a library to peacefully co-exist on the same system. While this won't do any real harm (the older packages will just continue to use the older libraries, while the newer packages will use the newer ones), it can lead to a lot of unnecessary clutter and wasted disk space. The general rule of thumb is that installing new packages will *not* remove the old ones, although some files in a particular package may have the same name in both versions, causing the new package to overwrite parts of the older one. So it's usually best to remove the old version of a package before installing a new version. As to your question as to whether the packages in the 3.3 directory (I presume you're talking about the ftp sites) are "current", the answer is "yes and no". :-) We have to be careful about using the word "current" here, as this term is also used to refer to the absolute latest, cutting edge version of FreeBSD, which most newbies will definitely *not* want to use. You seem to be slightly confused, also, about the kernel. Unlike Linux, where people talk about which kernel version they're running, we here in FreeBSD-land take a rather different approach. When you upgrade your version of FreeBSD, you don't just upgrade the kernel alone; you upgrade the entire system as well. This has the major benefit of avoiding the types of problems Linux users see so often, where a new kernel causes problems with existing user (system) programs. So then, to answer your question, the "kernel" under any particular RELEASE directory is "current" FOR THAT RELEASE ONLY. The packages under any particular RELEASE directory may be considered "current" in the sense of being the latest ported versions of those packages AT THE TIME OF THE PARTICULAR RELEASE. In addition, there are also the STABLE and CURRENT packages (are you getting confused yet?). :-) The STABLE packages are the latest versions of the packages for the STABLE branch of FreeBSD (basically, the last RELEASE version with whatever additional modifications have been made since then), while the CURRENT packages are specifically for the CURRENT branch, and should NOT be used if you're running anything less than FreeBSD-CURRENT, as there are often significant differences in low-level system stuff that will cause them to fail. The STABLE and CURRENT packages, rather than being "frozen" like the RELEASE packages, are constantly being updated as well, just like their respective branches. Again, once you're comfortable finding your way around your system, you would do well to look into using the ports collection in combination with cvsup to keep your local ports tree up to date. I update mine nightly, so whenever I'm looking to add a new package, I always have the latest Makefiles and patches, ready to build and install. See the handbook for all the details. Not sure about the USB stuff; my system doesn't have a USB port, so I've never had the need to look into it. I'm fairly certain there's USB support in CURRENT, but possiblly not in any 3.x version. Hope this helps. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Fri Feb 25 19:17:47 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from cx344940-a.meta1.la.home.com (cx344940-a.meta1.la.home.com [24.6.21.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C84E237BD43 for ; Fri, 25 Feb 2000 19:17:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from conrads@cx344940-a.meta1.la.home.com) Received: (from conrads@localhost) by cx344940-a.meta1.la.home.com (8.9.3/8.9.2) id VAA01503; Fri, 25 Feb 2000 21:17:35 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from conrads) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.0 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <38B6932E.6AD5E30@adelphia.net> Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 21:17:35 -0600 (CST) Organization: @Home Network From: Conrad Sabatier To: Spencer Plantier Subject: RE: tcpdump Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On 25-Feb-00 Spencer Plantier wrote: > Where do I find TCP dump for Freebsd? If the directory where tcpdump is located happens to be in your PATH, then "whereis tcpdump" or "which tcpdump" will provide the answer. If it's not in your PATH, then you might try "locate tcpdump" (assuming you have an up-to-date locate database). Then, of course, there's always good old reliable "find". Not the quickest way, but sure to do the job: find /usr -name tcpdump -type f -print We start searching at the top of the /usr directory in this example, as it's most likely to be somewhere under /usr. We also use the "-type f" option to tell find only to list regular files, not directories, in its search results (so you won't find, say, the source code directory for tcpdump, if you have the sources installed). If you're *really* unsure where it may be, then start the search at the root directory: find / -name tcpdump -type f -print Some man pages will also show where a program is located, but this is not consistently done. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Fri Feb 25 20:22:26 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from zagnut.hotpop.com (zagnut.hotpop.com [204.57.55.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AB06C37BC99 for ; Fri, 25 Feb 2000 20:22:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kamidesu@hotpop.com) Received: from default (unknown [216.72.93.101]) by zagnut.hotpop.com (Postfix) with SMTP id 31103639D4 for ; Fri, 25 Feb 2000 23:21:55 -0500 (EST) From: m To: newbi Subject: Re: ports ?

Tcpdump provides a running, realtime display (or "dump") of all of the networking (TCP/IP) traffic on your machine, allowing you to see what remote machines are talking to yours (and vice versa), as well as what they're "saying", among other things. The output is fairly dense and not very human-friendly. In fact, there's at least one package in the ports collection that will take the output of tcpdump and render it in a more useable fashion.

Do you want to setup anonymous ftp, allowing anyone to use the server, or only allow access to those with user accounts on your machine? Or both? If all you want is restricted, user account access, there's really nothing to it. Just make sure the ftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf is not commented out. Inetd will automatically spawn a server process whenever someone tries to connect. Anonymous ftp is slightly more involved. The simplest way to set this up is via /stand/sysinstall. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Sat Feb 26 9:20:16 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mplspop4.mpls.uswest.net (mplspop4.mpls.uswest.net [204.147.80.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7C61137BDC1 for ; Sat, 26 Feb 2000 09:20:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nitebirdz@uswest.net) Received: (qmail 27521 invoked by alias); 26 Feb 2000 17:20:09 -0000 Delivered-To: fixup-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG@fixme Received: (qmail 27511 invoked by uid 0); 26 Feb 2000 17:20:08 -0000 Received: from adsl102.mn.uswest.net (HELO toledo.uswest.net) (209.181.254.102) by mplspop4.mpls.uswest.net with SMTP; 26 Feb 2000 17:20:08 -0000 Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 11:19:29 -0600 (EST) From: Nitebirdz To: m Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: tcpdump ?
