E.g. say that I enable gateway_enable="YES" or maybe dhcpd_enable="YES", how does FreeBSD associate this simple line to the associated action? I've had a theory that adding e.g. test_enable="YES" to rc.conf would trigger the execution of the file /etc/rc.d/test.sh at boot time but it seems like this isn't how it's done.

A lot of the time these are connected to scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for ports you've installed, a lot of the time they are just handled natively by the system's supplied rc scripts. For example you can see the gateway_enable variable used in /etc/rc.d/routing. Having said that, I can't see where sshd_enable is used anywhere on my system, although OpenSSH starts at boot...

I think init just runs /etc/rc on bootup; I'm not sure, but that's certainly one of the things it does. In any case, /etc/rc then runs each of the scripts in /etc/rc.d: files=`rcorder ${skip} /etc/rc.d/* 2>/dev/null` for _rc_elem in ${files}; do run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot} done It seems that the scripts in /etc/rc.d then look at the various configuration files. For example, /etc/rc.d/sshd will only actually start sshd if the sshd_enable option is set in /etc/rc.conf. rc.conf doesn't do anything itself; it merely contains options that other scripts read. - James Cook james.cook@utoronto.ca From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 13 08:10:17 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 10F6616A4CE; Sun, 13 Mar 2005 08:10:17 +0000 (GMT) Received: from nezlok.unixathome.org (nezlok.unixathome.org [66.154.97.250]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BB62443D1F; Sun, 13 Mar 2005 08:10:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dan@nezlok.unixathome.org) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nezlok.unixathome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A8E8B5597; Sun, 13 Mar 2005 00:10:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from nezlok.unixathome.org ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (nezlok.unixathome.org [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 11793-02; Sun, 13 Mar 2005 00:10:06 -0800 (PST) Received: by nezlok.unixathome.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id D643F5564; Sun, 13 Mar 2005 00:10:03 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Langille To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-Id: <20050313081003.D643F5564@nezlok.unixathome.org> Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 00:10:03 -0800 (PST) X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at unixathome.org Subject: The FreeBSD Diary: 2005-02-20 - 2005-03-12 X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 08:10:17 -0000 The FreeBSD Diary contains a large number of practical examples and how-to guides.

I am keen to setup a FreeBSD 5.3 Release box (in the next few days) as = print server for various clients in the network. The parallel port printer lpt1 is directly attached to the FreeBSD 5.3 = box. I have read the printing section in FreeBSD handbook online. The topic = of filters seem to be too complicated. As a step-1 in my endeavour, I am more interested in printing from the = FreeBSD box particularly pages/images from Firefox. I require following info : (1) Do filters have to be installed to print graphic image ? (2) What filter should I use with Kyocera FS-680 mono Laser printer ? (3) Any simple step by step instructions for FS-680 setup ? Any info or pointers is well regarded...

If your printer can do post script, you need a filter only to print text. There is a program called ghostscript that turns post script into something printers can understand. I didn't see you printer listed on its list of compatible printers but I wasn't looking very hard. I think there is more about this in the hand book HTH -- /Xian "Go the extra mile.

I do some php programming and I'm working on a project and for the first time I want to use CVS. CVS is installed on my box, but I don't know how to run it. Does CVS run as a service like apache or mysql? If so, how do I start it? Also, where do people typically install a project cvsroot? The programming project has it's own user account on the box where the latest version of the code runs as a webpage. So for example: /home/st4nk/st4nk-www/ <- (apache virtual directory to serve up latest php code) so could I just create a directory: /home/st4nk/cvs And make that the master respository for the project? When I work on the project files I may or may not log into the box as user st4nk...that shouldn't matter, correct?

Actually, unless you're planning on giving anonymous CVS access to everyone in the world, it's safest not to run the CVS pserver daemon and just use ssh to access your CVS repository remotely. Now, for setting up your repository... For a simple setup, I usually create a new user and group on the server to host my repitory such as user cvs and group cvs. I have the CVS user's home directory set to /home/cvs and I add any users who will need write access to the repository to the cvs unix group I just created. Set the permissions on the cvs home to allow all users read access, but only cvs group members write access and make the group bit sticky: # chmod 775 /home/cvs # chmod g+s /home/cvs After that, you don't need to be root anymore. Just login as a regular user who you've included in the cvs group (may need to log out and log back in for this to take effect). Now, set your environment variables to point to the cvs root (assuming bash): $ export CVSROOT=/home/cvs Initialize the repository (this only has to be done once): $ cvs init You're CVS is now set up. Assuming you use SSH to access your server, you can also use CVS remotely on another host by setting the following parameters: $ export CVSROOT=:ext:username@hostname.domain.tld:/home/cvs $ export CVS_RSH=ssh If you need some info on using CVS, head over to CVS's home page: https://www.cvshome.org/ or check out this good book: http://tinyurl.com/6tvvq (link take your to Amazon.com).

I believe I will be using CVS in it's most simple sense. Myself and the few other people working on my project will either SSH under their own accounts to the box and edit project files there, or "check them out" I guess and ftp them to a windows box, edit them, ftp them back and "commit" them after SSH'ing in again. I'm reading "Open Source Development with CVS, 3rd Ed." by Bar and Fogel and from what I gather so far, what I just described above should work.

19:10:03 -0000 FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list. It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html 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. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD 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. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. 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/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/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. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

You can check out from a Windows box directly. WinCVS works fine for this purpose. It's setup and making it use an SSH key is always a bit confusing for me, but that's because of my little experience with Windows software. It can be done though...

True. But it was described "below" because your reply was top-posted. Top-posting is annoying in many little ways, so I manually fixed it. Good luck with CVS :-) Oh, and another thing. If you have more technical questions like this, please post them on freebsd-questions. That's the proper list. - Giorgos From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 19 15:59:59 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CDBF316A4CE for ; Sat, 19 Mar 2005 15:59:59 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mallaury.noc.nerim.net (smtp-106-saturday.noc.nerim.net [62.4.17.106]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0650E43D49 for ; Sat, 19 Mar 2005 15:59:59 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from ptitoliv@frenchsuballiance.cjb.net) Received: from [192.168.1.1] (gatekeeper.ptitoliv.net [213.41.155.97]) by mallaury.noc.nerim.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE0B662DAE for ; Sat, 19 Mar 2005 16:59:55 +0100 (CET) Message-ID: <423C4D86.4010900@frenchsuballiance.cjb.net> Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 17:04:22 +0100 From: ptitoliv User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206) X-Accept-Language: fr, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Enigmail-Version: 0.90.1.1 X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Change the Install Directory for a php application port X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 15:59:59 -0000 Hello Everybody, I am writing here because I have a problem finding an information about installing a port. I would want to install a php application using ports system but I would like that this application would be installed in a particular directory on my system. So I am looking for the command line parameters that allow me to make the installation in another directory. Thank you for your answers Best regards, Ptitoliv
