similar to: upgrading 4.0 to stable

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

Hi, I was under the impression a successful make world was updating include files in /usr/include/netinet too. When I have a good make world, the files in /usr/include have new time stamps, but the ones in netinet have not! Am I missing something here? My current stable doesn't compille properly it fails in kdump on a missing ioctlcmd_t typedef. Peter

Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD and just installed 4.8 release. I want to upgrade this to stable. I have printed some of the pages out for makeworld and CVSUP, I am wondering what the best method for doing the updates are, downloading the individual packages and installing or using the CVSUP to do this? Currently I used mostly Red Hat Linux but have wanted to give this a try for some time

mmmm... stable... :D /usr/src # make installworld ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. /usr/src # grep audit /usr/src/UPDATING /usr/src # ??? -- - Alfred Perlstein - CTO Okcupid.com / FreeBSD Hacker / All that jazz -

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso'

Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick and

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting. Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make

HI, i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the "installworld" step GRUB is unable to boot FreeBSD. After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was: 23 : Error while parsing number I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now. Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no

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

Hi all, I did cvsup to 7-STABLE yesterday, build, installed and booted a new kernel then buildworld. Then I noticed that my PS/2 keyboard is not working at the loader menu so I booted multiuser and did the make installworld part from there. Then I tried to reboot but now it hangs after the line Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a It sits there for at least 10min. I tried so far: -

I'm currently administering a machine about 1500mi from me with nobody local to the machine to assist me. Anyways, my only access to this machine is via SSH, no remote serial console or anything. When I try to do a "make installworld" I end up with install: rename: /lib/INS@aTxk to /lib/libcrypt.so.3: Operation not permitted very shortly thereafter. I cannot boot

Hello, I recently did a 'make world' to update my base system due to the realpath bug. After that finished, I noticed that I still had the following statically compiled binaries laying around that did not get updated during a 'make world'. I track 4-STABLE. /usr/bin/miniperl /sbin/mount_kernfs /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/modunload /sbin/modload /sbin/ft /stand/boot_crunch /stand/find

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There has been a lot of discussion on these two mailing lists about the upcoming EoL of FreeBSD 4.x which I mentioned in my email entitled "HEADS UP: FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 EoLs coming soon". Now that everybody (hopefully) has had their say, I'd like to offer some background and explanation. The concept of "security branches"

Greetings, Apologies if this is not the appropriate list, but my questions are about best practices in maintaining production servers (so I believe I can justify a post in -stable, short of a -release list :) I maintain a modest installation of 6 FreeBSD servers. They're CVSUP'd to RELENG_4_8 (I make buildworld on each individually) and I portupgrade ports as necessary. In an attempt to

Hello freebsd-stable, i know this is may be the wrong place to ask these question, i just cvsup my 5.1 box today, and during the make installworld it's stop with these following error messages: PASS: Test notdef detected no regression. Running test modifiers PASS: Test modifiers detected no regression. Running test funny_targets PASS: Test funny_targets detected no regression.

I get this in my security postings. Jun [undisclosed time] [undiscl.] login: 2 LOGIN FAILURES ON ttyv2 Jun [undisclosed time] [undiscl.] login: 2 LOGIN FAILURES ON ttyv2, qmaild As it turns out, I'm not running qmail :) And if I did, it would definitely have a nologin shell. But that's beside the point- I have had a perception that ttyv was for local/console logins, and that just
