I don't quite agree with that assement and I think you may be in the process of blaming a messenger here. Thing is... I have 0 interest in Poudriere and never really liked the idea of using it. In fact I'm quite a vivid Portmaster user. Basically I rely on Portmaster in combination with...

It's an old question, but in my opinion still quite relevant, and honestly you guys... the correct answer is that there is no correct answer. Sure, from a technical perspective you can do it both ways: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config or add the options to /etc/rc.conf. But it surprises me that in...

"It doesn't work, why?" without providing additional information isn't the kind of question anyone can answer; that will only result in a guessing game. For starters... how did you install net/mtr (or did you grab net/mtr-nox11?), and also what port or package release do you follow (latest or...

I don't even use bsdinstaller anymore. Why 'confine' yourself when you can also use the shell to execute everything you need? I mean... essentially it all begins with extracting some archives, then you just have to 'patch' some config files to set everything up. One shell script is all you...

First... I fail to grasp the relevance between certain mentioned open source projects and Linux. Wayland for example is released under the MIT license, not the 'dreaded' GPL which is fully related to the Linux environment. From what I can tell this also applies to Pipewire. Still... this brings...

When in doubt about how something works on FreeBSD then I highly recommend checking out the handbook. In specific, I'm now referring to chapter 3.1. You see, the answer to your question is: it depends. Setting an environment variable is done within a shell, so ... it depends on what shell the...

I wouldn't phrase it like that, also considering that FreeBSD itself (so: the base system) also provides several network services 'out of the box', which would make it fair to call that a server environment as well. But yeah... run the DE on the base system, then run the network services from...

I'd switch it around: why not move those network services into a jail and then run X on your main environment? It'll save you a lot of potential hassle.

In addition to what SirDice said above me I also suggest paying more attention to the forum as well. It's only been a few weeks (iirc) since someone else asked the exact same question; their thread is still on the first index page...

Just one actually... devel/git; ever since I discovered this tool several years ago I became quite a vivid user and advocate. And not just for development purposes, but also as a means of "history storage". For example: on my system /usr/local/etc is actually a Git repository, which in its turn...

Edit... I cannot remove my post it seems but I goofed up... I picked up on your post in the complete wrong way. So sorry about that :/ Best comment I can give: port maintainers are volunteers, best you can do is check the contact info in the Makefile and maybe try to contact them to see if...

What registry? FreeBSD has a registry now? That's new to me! I really fail to see the problem here. Because the "bloat" (aka: config files) is usually well documented, not to mention that ports and packages on FreeBSD generally speaking (!) don't dump that bloat onto our systems in the first...

... (<= quoted for context) This looks like an awesome challenge to me. I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish here but that's the fun for me: looking beyond your own comfort zone or "bubble" so to speak. So let me get this straight: your intent, even after 3 years (!) (loving it!)...

Not sure how I should respond here (link) but this is about "mail" aka SMTP servers and well... fun fact is that last week I more or less did the same thing: pick up on my e-mail needs and well, can't resist sharing this. As much as I respect and admire (!) Sendmail I cannot help but mention...

What kind of data should be on that device? Also leading into: have you managed to access it using other operating systems already yet? Because if not then this could also be a wild goose chase.. I've seen it before: seeing partitions on devices that somehow seemed to make sense, but in the end...

It does for me. Make sure you first run # make rmconfig before you comment out the line, then follow up by running make config afterwards and everything should be fine from there on out. Even the config-conditional build target behaves normally for me. Keep in mind though that this isn't a...

Interesting issue, I'm going to see if I can reproduce in a moment (at the time of writing my ports collection is in the process of updating), but for now... I'm missing some important information here. For starters: what release of the ports collection do you track? A quarterly release or the...

Logfiles, and if those don't give you a conclusive answer then increase the logging verbosity a bit. Services like SSH and Syslog all support that.

It's lang/mono all the way for me ;)

You want a mail server... but as Dr. Howard already said above me: there's one build in ("DMA"). It's ideal for local e-mails. But you want more.... Well, since I'm in the right mood for this: let's take this from the top, shall we? EMail First things first... e-mail processing actually...
