Read the documentation on the meaning of the various 4.X tags, and am not sure what is meant by this: "The release branch for FreeBSD-4.6 and FreeBSD-4.6.2, used only for security advisories and other seriously critical fixes." Similar descriptions are used for the other RELENG_4_X tags. If I specify RELENG_4 will cvsup also include RELENG_4_3 to RELENG_4_8? Sorry folks - I'm

Some time ago there was an announcement that people should not use 5.0 for critical production systems. Now that 5.1 is available, what is the consesous on it? Should it be used for critical production systems yet?

Has anyone ever come across general-purpose tools for modifying shared libraries? What I want to do is to edit the list of "needed" shared libraries to correct the common mistakes that developers make in creating shared objects with large lists of shared libraries. Specifically, I want to modify linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so to remove all of the idiotic references to shared

Hi.? I have configured sshd in OpenBSD to require publickey authentication. I've tried configuring FreeBSD to do the same, but I can still login via keyboard authentication. Here are the options I have in my sshd_config: PasswordAuthentication no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no UsePAM no After setting those options I kill -HUP the sshd? process. Is there something simple I am missing?

Your patch makes VmWare2 build, but it doesn't make it work: - VmWare fails to allocate memory (see http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/1.png and http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/2.png). - There seems to be something wrong with

Reading thru one of the postgres mailing lists regarding which character encoding to use for a database, someone chimed in and claimed this: Umm, you should choose an encoding supported by your platform and the locales you use. For example, UTF-8 is a bad choice on *BSD because there is no collation support for UTF-8 on those platforms. On Linux/Glibc UTF-8 is well supported but you

On the one hand, yes, they're about things most readers can't do anything about. On the other hand, they do let you know (once the tinderbox has stabilized, this being a new setup with the bugs being worked out of it) whether recent -STABLE will build or not, which can be quite useful even for ordinary users of -STABLE.

I successfully did my first FreeBSD upgrade yesterday after looking at the manual, and cross referencing with Googling and getting help from our network engineer here at CWU. Before the upgrade, running df showed: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 507630 77662 389358 17% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/da0s1e

I would be surprised if someone hasn''t encountered this already, but I haven''t found any discussion of the nature of this problem. I run RehHat 5.0. If a user makes a mistake in the login process such as the following: login: mistake password: xxx Login incorrect! login: username password xxxx bash$ a ps will show, among other things, 2333 /bin/login --mistake.

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

Luke has mentioned a few times that people are fairly quiet about numbers, so I thought I''d help out there. Our production Puppet server currently has 75 signed certificates, and I believe essentially all of those systems are active. We have an extremely diverse environment; there are rarely more than three or four systems that can use the same set of classes. So that represents quite

I was wondering if there would be any benefit to the general community if I made available a debian and ubuntu repository of up to date puppet packages. I have the infrastructure in place anyway for my work (pbuilder + falcon), and can quite easily run up a vhost on a VM somewhere. Debian Etch (4.0) for example has puppet 0.20.1, and will never get a newer version. Ubuntu Feisty has a newer

This is a "heads up" for anyone who relies on PAM session management in order to clean up after a login session. Red Hat 5.2''s login does not perform PAM session management correctly, potentially resulting in sessions which lose their authentication before the login shell starts. login.c in Red Hat 5.2''s util-linux package was modified so that it no longer forks a

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Hi all, I''ve been looking for a good example for how one would build a module, but I couldn''t really find something that I liked, so I went ahead and tried to do it myself. The result is this: a git module (see attachment). Please have a look and comment on it, before I add it to the wiki. I especially want comments on the setup of the module itself, not so much on the git

I''m trying to install the tomcat5.5 package under Debian Etch. The problem is that the init.d script for tomcat5.5 uses "su .... &" to run some things (I think logging processes?) This causes puppetd to hang in its run, because the subprocess never returns (due to open filehandles?). Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get around this? The same

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:
