Dear FreeBSD doc'ers,
The description of the Unix directory permissions in this section
might be a little confusing:
The executable bit for a directory has a slightly different meaning
than that of files. When a directory is marked executable, it means it
can be searched into, for example, a directory listing can be done in
that directory. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following examples may illustrate my (little) point.
235 1:12pm ~ >=3D=3D=3D=3D> mkdir foo
236 1:12pm ~ >=3D=3D=3D=3D> cd foo
237 1:12pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> mkdir bar
238 1:12pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> chmod 100 bar #make it searchable into =
by owner
239 1:13pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> ls bar
ls: bar: Permission denied #can't list!
240 1:13pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> chmod 400 bar #permission for listing
241 1:13pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> ls bar
242 1:13pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> #no complaints
242 1:14pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> chmod 100 bar
243 1:14pm ~/foo >=3D=3D=3D=3D> cd bar #can cd
244 1:14pm ~/foo/bar >=3D=3D=3D=3D>
An equivalent description to that quoted above is found in chmod(1).
Am I missing something ?
If not, you may wish to consider the following
The executable bit for a directory has a slightly different meaning
than that of files. When a directory is marked executable, it means
you can cd, ie "Change Directories", to it. In particular, in order
for you to be able to cd to a subdirectory, the parent
(sub)directories must have the executable bit set.
N.B. a directory with ONLY the executable bit set allows you to
perform NO other operations: you can neither list the directory
contents nor create/modify/delete its file(s) or subdirectories.
Best regards,
Salvo

Still cc'd. I think I've got a more elegant approach to the problem.

Fourth way:
Alter all the gentext-* functions so that as well as checking the
appropriate ---sep list, they check an additional
list, local----sep list. Check the local-* list
first, and use it's contents in preference.
Attached is the patch to dbl1en.dsl that does this for title
labelling. There are another 11 functions in that file that would
need modifying in the same way.
I've also attached a patch to our freebsd.dsl, showing how
declarations in the customisation layer would need to change.
Norm, comments? Could we get something like this in for 1.61?

>Description:
It seems that for some reason a lot of people have been having
problems running X because they start it as a non-root user. Most
probably, this is due to the general public starting to upgrade to
XFree86 4, which doesn't install its servers setuid to root.
The attached patch adds an FAQ entry describing the need to either use
xdm or Xwrapper if one wishes to run X as a regular user; which one
should.
>How-To-Repeat:

Apply the following patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.

+ I used to run XFree86 as a regular user, but now when
+ I start it it says I must be root!
+
+
+
+ All X servers need to be run as root in order to get direct
+ access to your video hardware. Older versions of XFree86
+ (<= 3.3.6) installed all bundled servers to be automatically
+ run as root (setuid to root). This is obviously a security
+ hazard because X servers are large, complicated programs.
+ Newer versions of XFree86 do not install the servers setuid to
+ root for just this reason.
+
+ Obviously, running an X server as the root user is not
+ acceptable, nor a good idea security-wise. There are two ways
+ to be able to use X as a regular user. The first is to use
+
+ xdm or another display manager
+ (e.g., kdm); the second is to use the
+ Xwrapper.
+
+ xdm is a daemon that handles graphical
+ logins. It is usually started at boot time, and is responsible
+ for authenticating users and starting their sessions; it is
+ essentially the graphical counterpart of
+ getty and login. For
+ more information on xdm see
+ its manual page, the XFree86
+ documentation, and the the FAQ
+ entry on it.
+
+ Xwrapper is the X server wrapper; it is
+ a small utility to enable one to manually run an X server while
+ maintaining reasonable safety. It performs some sanity checks
+ on the command line arguments given, and if they pass, runs the
+ appropriate X server. If you do not want to run a display
+ manger for whatever reason, this is for you. If you have
+ installed the complete ports
+ collection, you can find the port in
+ /usr/ports/x11/wrapper. If you have not,
+ follow the previous link for information on how to obtain just
+ this specific port.

If someone has not answered your question, then
perhaps you should be aware that your message
has reached a FreeBSD mailing. For questions related
to Linux, I would recommend a Linux mailing list.

No objections from me, and it would certainmly make things more consistent.
We should also be consistent about not starting with a capital letter...

They should be lowercase, IMO.
...
I'm tempted also to change things like ".Nm Foo" to just ".Nm" at the
start of sentences, when the name really is "foo". IMO even at the
start of a sentence we shouldn't capitalize things wrong. There's a lot
more of these to change though, so there may be stronger objections. I
don't feel that strongly about it, it just seems "wrong" to capitalize
things wrong.

I want to upgrade a clients FreeBSD machine from 3.x stable to a 4.2
stable remotely.
1. Can I do this? (I see that the upgrading from source tutorial is
gone).
2. Can I do just the Kernel, or how much of the source tree should I get
or update.
2. Can some one point me to comprehensive docs to do this?
I've installed and secured FreeBSD a few times, customized and combined
some ports, rebuilt the kernel, patched and rebuilt core binaries for
security, but never upgraded kernel (or run cvsup --my connection here
is not very fast).
Note: I'm not on any mailing lists except the security announce ones, so
you may have to reply to me directly to reach me.
I really need a competent mentor some where to chat with occasionally
about FreeBSD... I've been working with computers since my mom taught me
to program fortran at age 8 in 1965 --mom was an innovative math teacher
in the public schools.... The university loaned her a key punch.... I've
used UNIX machines for over 10 years, and I've been pressed into service
as a unix system administrator (first on Solaris then Linux now on
FreeBSD) the last two+ years. I've been working alone here installing,
securing, and putting on line, internet webservers for a couple of small
local companies, and it would be nice to have some competent people to
talk to occasionally about this kind of work; but hey, point me to some
documentation. I've read and experimented my way here. I can read on.
(I'm a longtime Deadhead with a BS in biology that is heavy on physics,
chemistry and math but without much emphasis on biology.)

Hello,
We're writing you from a small country named Latvia. We want to register at
our local NIC the domain name "freebsd.lv", so we can do our own local page
and mirror freebsd.org for local FreeBSD community. But NIC says that we
can't do it without a permission from trademark holder -- freebsd.org. Can
it be settled ?
Best regards,
arni.

No big deal, but you must have missed:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html
You'll want to read the whole chapter and follow it carefully. FreeBSD
is an integrated system and you have to upgrade the whole OS along with
the kernel.
Also see /usr/src/UPDATING that file has the final say. Most people
seem to say it is best to upgrade to the newest 3.x stable and from
there to 4.2-release or 4.2-stable. That way you get the newest 3.x
toolchain and will have the best chance of the upgrade working.
Also questions like this belong on freebsd-stable or freebsd-questions.
If you're running -stable, it is recommended to be on the -stable
mailing list.
If your bandwidth is too low, you may have to buy a 4.2 cd or
reinstall by another method. The handbook has several methods of doing
that that can be gotten to from the main freebsd page.
The -questions mailing list can reallt provide a lot of support to
someone that is willing to do some of their own work.

This message was forwarded to the FreeBSD documentation project,
though I don't know why. The FreeBSD Core team needs to decide about
this. This is your official notice that -core has received your
request, and we'll try to get you an answer within a week.

I would say "yes". Can we please come up once and for all to some rule
about this?
So, readers, please answer this short questionnaire.
1. Should the short manual page description be in lower case (except
registered (trade) names like TCP? (YES, NO)
2. Should we consistently change all occurrences of ``.Nm Foo'' to
``.Nm foo'' where the command name is actually ``foo''? (YES, NO)
I will collect answers till and publish the results on the next Monday.
Thanks,

Everything just should be changed in one way. If we have most manpages
lowercased, others should be also lowercased, IMHO. Same for dots at the
end of sentences.

Yes, of course, but it just should be changed to construction like
The command/utility/etc
.Nm

I disagree with this, putting "the ... command" around something is just
unnecessary IMO. But perhaps grammatical correctness means more to some
people than it does to me. :-)

Please arrange to have this put wherever it'll do the most good...
Adding Your new Disk Driver, Mini-Howto r1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) 2001 Michael Smith
Adding a disk driver to FreeBSD is relatively easy, but there are a
number of non-obvious steps that must be followed for it to all work
right. We assume here that you have already successfully developed and
tested your driver, and that you're ready to commit it to the tree. If
you're not committing it, you can still generate diffs for the various
files to make the actual commit process move more quickly.
1) Commit the driver. This part is obvious.
2) Commit the module Makefile. All drivers should build as modules.
You probably built as a module while you were testing, so don't forget
this part. Don't forget to add your module to the parent Makefile as
well.
3) Commit the manpage. All drivers should have manpages. The manpage
should try to list all the hardware your driver supports, as well as
all the diagnostic messages it might print and their causes. Don't
forget to add the manpage to the list in the Makefile. Don't put your
manpage in an arch-specific directory unless the driver or device is
*absolutely* architecture-specific.
4) Update the list in sysinstall/devices.c. For a disk device, the entry
should look like:
{DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "foo%d", "FOO disk", , 65538, 8, 4},
Where is the cdev major number of your driver.
5) Update libdisk/create_chunk.c, by adding a line to parse the disk
name in MakeDev():
else if (!strncmp(p, "foo", 4))
cmaj = , p += strlen("foo");
6) Update libdisk/disk.c, by adding an entry for your disk driver's name
in the device_list[] array.
7) Update MAKEDEV to create disk devices for your driver, and (optionally)
a control device. You should update:
- The 'Disks:' comment at the head of the file.
- The 'Individual slices.' conditional.
- The (unmarked) 'whole disk' conditional.
Use one of the other disk device entries as an example here. The
'name' and 'chr' variables are set to the name and character major
number of the disk respectively. The subconditionals exist to deal
with the different name lengths (to parse the unit number), and you
should add your driver to the appropriate case.

FWIW, that's my opinion as well. However, out of the depths of my
somewhat rusty memory I think I recall Greg Lehey having some compelling
reasons for doing the opposite (i.e., what Alexey is suggesting). I
can't for the life of me remember what they were though, hence the cc:,
in the hope that Greg can remind us.

Hmm. I can't recall a compelling reason. Obviously a sentence
starting with a lower-case letter looks funny, so if we can avoid it,
we should. I've just checked vinum(8), and I find a number of
sequences like this:
Exit the
.Nm
program when running in interactive mode.
Terminate access to the objects, or stop
.Nm
if no parameters are specified.
On the other hand, I also have:
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a utility program to communicate with the \fBVinum\fP\| logical volume
manager.
This rather confirms my recollection that I'd like to avoid putting
lower-case letters at the beginning of a sentence, but that I'd do it
rather than bloat the style. I think that's what you're saying as
well.

Subject: Help with documenting device names?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"
Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
I would like some help in determining the parsing rules for device names.
For instance, there is obviously a naming pattern at work for
ad0 ad0f ad0s4 ad1e ad1s3 ad2d ad2s2 ad3c ad3s1
ad0a ad0g ad1 ad1f ad1s4 ad2e ad2s3 ad3d ad3s2
ad0b ad0h ad1a ad1g ad2 ad2f ad2s4 ad3e ad3s3
ad0c ad0s1 ad1b ad1h ad2a ad2g ad3 ad3f ad3s4
ad0d ad0s2 ad1c ad1s1 ad2b ad2h ad3a ad3g
ad0e ad0s3 ad1d ad1s2 ad2c ad2s1 ad3b ad3h
rad0 rad0f rad0s4 rad1e rad1s3 rad2d rad2s2 rad3c rad3s1
rad0a rad0g rad1 rad1f rad1s4 rad2e rad2s3 rad3d rad3s2
rad0b rad0h rad1a rad1g rad2 rad2f rad2s4 rad3e rad3s3
rad0c rad0s1 rad1b rad1h rad2a rad2g rad3 rad3f rad3s4
rad0d rad0s2 rad1c rad1s1 rad2b rad2h rad3a rad3g
rad0e rad0s3 rad1d rad1s2 rad2c rad2s1 rad3b rad3h
but what is it? Ultimately, I would like to mechanize the result, so
that I could take a name such as /dev/rad1c and say useful things about
it, as:
/dev/ad1c corresponds to partition "a" of unit "1" of the raw "ad"
(ATA disk) device. See ata(4) for more information.
If anyone out there is very familiar with the /dev entries and would
like to help with this effort, please contact me.

Well, it certainly reduced the number of variables I had to keep track

Yeah, I see the problem. Ugh. I think in the short term, you should
redefine the hash.

Greetings,
I'm new to this mailing list but I have been involved with using FreeBSD in
a System Administration and a desktop capacity for the last couple years. I
am also the MAINTAINER for a couple ports.
In addition I have also written documentation for other projects, and being
an avid FreeBSD user I would like to contribute what I can. I was wondering
what needs to be done, or helped with.

Hi, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html
Choose an installation method, follow the directions and you will have
FreeBSD. Read a lot at the website www.freebsd.org and follow a lot of
the links, and if you don't understand something you read, then ask
questions at the mailing list freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
Good luck,
Tim

A month or so back I sent a message describing O'Reilly's gmat
package, which is what they use for creating their books. It converts
DocBook into troff and then formats it. Until yesterday, it sort of
limped, but it wasn't really useful enough to do anything with. Now
I have found the bug and fixed it, and I think it's reasonable to say
that it produces good quality output. It doesn't understand the
FreeBSD extensions to DocBook, of course, but it's possible that it
could be done.
Documentation is sparse; there's no man page, but one of the patches
creates a file /usr/ports/textproc/gmat/work/gmat-0.2.4/gmat.sgm,
which describes how to use it. I don't much like the interface:
instead of using Makefiles, they have a thing called a BOOKFILE, which
is administered with various perl incantations. Actually running the
formatter is relatively complicated, but you can get an overview with
the 'gmat' command and no arguments.

in http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/dialup-firewall/kernel.html, it is
explained what options to add to your kernel before recompiling to enable
things like firewall support, and IP stack restrictions like
TCP_RESTRICT_RST. in the next page,
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/dialup-firewall/rcconf.html, you mention
that you have to modify /etc/rc.conf to enable those options, but it is
not mentioned that if you actually used the additional options like
TCP_RESTRICT_RST in your kernel you still have to also turn them on in
/etc/rc.conf.
it would probably be nice to mention that on that second page -- one of my
friends pointed out i needed to do a little additional work in
/etc/rc.conf to enable the new SYN options in my kernel, instead of me
finding out from this tutorial.
just a suggestion, thanks for your time. ;)

So, I now submitted a patch as you had asked, but didn't get any response
at at all (and the page has not been updated either).

Hello,
the link to ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/packet_filtering has
changed to
http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/packet_filtering.html
They have shut their ftp server.
