| Allie Daneman | Following Current general question
I finally have a box that's semi-production to run current on. I've read
the FAQ on how to do the install and CVS updates but was wondering how
people generally deal with keeping their -current, current ;) Do most
people just have cvs update cronjobs ? Run a cvs update by hand ? Do you
have to keep an eye on the "Following Current" page for other changes ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If your goal is RUNNING -current, cvs really need not play a part in it.
Grab a snapshot, install it, run it. Keep an eye on "Following Current"
for the things that will break, but if you are running snaps, even that is
minimal.
Worrying about cvs when running -current is pretty much for people who want
to hack on the code directly.

I prefer to install binary snapshots. With the "bsd.rd" kernel, a
local ftp server for the install and customized "site42.tgz" and
"site42-hostname.tgz" sets a fresh install is done faster then a
recompile on my <1000Mhz boxes.

hi,
i'd like to use 'spamd' for GREYTRAPPING only, with NO delay-via-GREYLISTING.
i.e., other than mail to defined TRAPS and fully-blacklisted domains,
no delay on inbound mmail.
looking at config, i think i can achieve that by setting "passtime",
via "-Gx:y:z", equal to zero.
though it seems straighforward enough, i've never found any reference
to such usage.
any comments as to whether this'll achieve what i'm hoping for -- or,
more importantly, break something?
thanks!

You're clearly accessing /backups/.. according to the permissions
(700) of the mount point, /backups, not the root directory of the
mounted volume, which is what you see with ls and stat for /backups
after the mount.
(This can be demonstrated by umounting /backups, chmoding /backups
to 750, remounting and trying again.)
As far as I know, this is normal operation for ffs/BSD. My *guess*
is that this feature may serve to stifle a way of leveraging permissions
through mounting, but, I ...

| Antti Harri | Is this a filesystem bug?
Hello,
First just plain directory with mode=700:
drwx------ 43 root wheel 2048 Sep 7 22:24 /backups/
Then I mount filesystem under /backups:
/dev/sd0i on /backups type ffs (local, softdep)
drwxr-x--- 43 root wheel 2048 Sep 7 22:24 /backups/
The permissions changed, so far good because I've changed
the modes of the mounted volume to 750.
Then as a normal user belonging to 'wheel' I do:
$ ls -la /backups/
ls: /backups/..: Permission denied

| Antti Harri | Re: Is this a filesystem bug?
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Although
I'm still curious about the reason.
Here's the section included for the archives:
CAVEATS
After a successful mount, the permissions on the original mount point de-
termine if ``..'' is accessible from the mounted file system. The mini-
mum permissions for the mount point for traversal across the mount point
in both directions to be possible for all users is 0111 (execute for all).

Hi,
We've just installed 4.1-stable on a Fujitsu-Siemens RX100 S3.
When we try to reboot or shutdown the server, it hangs after the
"Syncing Disks... Done." message. Only way to continue is to hit the
power switch.
Tried bsd and bsd.mp with and without acpi enabled without any luck,
plus a lot of different settings in the BIOS.
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem?

Hi Benoit,
is highly suspicious, especially since your machine also has pciide0.
Can you send me dmesg for the following cases too:
GENERIC with acpi enabled
GENERIC.MP
GENERIC.MP with acpi enabled
and the output of
# acpidump -o M2N-MX
The latter produces several files; please create a tar file that
contains them and send me that.
Hopefully this will help me figuring out what goes wrong here.
Thanks,
Mark

Hey all,
I've been trying to get my Brother 2070n printer to work for a bit now, and
I'm a bit confused about why it won't work. It's supposed to be a pretty
straightforward Postscript printer, and in the web configuration there are
postcript, text, and pcl services, as well as binary printing. It supports lpd
printing, and I have been trying to use apsfilter to setup the printcap file.

| Alexander Hall | Re: Is it possible to fix a stale NFS hadle without rebooting?
Ok, that's good to know.
However, using udp mounts, I experienced the mount point and terminal
lockups that the OP mentioned when the mount did not succeed.
I finally tracked it down to the fact that I was connecting to the
non-default ip address of a host with multiple ip addresses without
using the -c flag to mount_nfs. I realise that is was my own fault, but
I would not expect the lockup situation.

Salut,
I think it is a very important aspect to understand that noone will do
your work for you in a reasonable timeframe in a project that you will
find respectable. Your best chances to get new things in or bugs fixed
is to send a PR along with a patch to the developers; but from time to
time not even that will do it.
Good that you realized it, though. I think that people who did are the
force which is driving Open Source.
