From CAcert Wiki - Inclusion Status:
The old ca-roots port (which included the CAcert certificate) was removed with the comment “Not supported by FreeBSD Security Officer anymore”. The current certificate package (ca_root_nss) is a copy of the Mozilla certificate package and FreeBSD is therefore dependent on Mozilla inclusion.
Hence: # pkg_add -rv ca_root_nss
After building and installing software from the ports collection, you should always remember to clean up the temporary work directories. You can sweep the whole ports tree with the following command:
# portsclean -C
The portsclean utility is part of the portupgrade suite.
Alternatively, here’s a shell script:

For improved Read/Write speeds in Samba, build the ports package as follows:
# cd /usr/ports/net/samba35
# make
[select AIO_SUPPORT]
# make install clean
In /boot/loader.conf:1
2
aio_load="YES"
In /etc/sysctl.conf:
1 |
|
In /usr/local/etc/smb.conf:
1 | [global] |
… and reboot for the changes to take effect.
The following is a list of packages I have installed on my FreeBSD NAS:

### Information for htop-0.8.3_2:
Comment:
**A better top(1) - interactive process viewer**
Description:
htop is an enhanced version of top, the interactive process viewer,
which can display the list of processes in a tree form.
Comparison between 'htop' and 'top'
* In 'htop' you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
to see all processes and full command lines.
* In 'top' you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
sequences are triggered by accident).
* 'htop' starts faster ('top' seems to collect data for a while
before displaying anything).
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number to
kill a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number or
the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you can kill multiple processes at once.
* 'top' is older, hence, more tested.

### Information for iozone-3.370: Comment: **Performance Test of Sequential File I/O** Description: Iozone: 'IO Zone' Benchmark Program Iozone tests the speed of sequential I/O to actual files. Therefore, this measurement factors in the efficiency of your machine's file system, operating system, C compiler, and C runtime library. It produces a measurement which is the number of bytes per second that your system can read or write to a file. WWW: http://www.iozone.org/
### Information for linux_base-f10-10_3: Comment: **Base set of packages needed in Linux mode for i386/amd64 (Linux Fedora 10)** Description: This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora 10 Linux. These packages, in conjunction with the linux kernel module, form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. It is designed to provide a nice user experience by using the FreeBSD configuration for corresponding Linux stuff where possible. Because of this any work which needs to chroot into the linux base may not work as expected (no fallthrough to the FreeBSD config possible). This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture (i386/32 bit mode). If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-xorg-libs port. For cross-development this port is not suitable, you should use a linux_dist port instead in this case.
### Information for lsof-4.85A,5: Comment: **Lists information about open files (similar to fstat(1))** Description: Lsof (LiSt Open Files) lists information about files that are open by the running processes. An open file may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file, a character special file, an executing text reference, a library, a stream or a network file (Internet socket, NFS file or Unix domain socket). See also fstat(1) in the base system. WWW: http://people.freebsd.org/~abe/
### Information for mc-4.7.5: Comment: **Midnight Commander, a free Norton Commander Clone** Description: GNU Midnight Commander is a user-friendly yet powerful file manager and visual shell, useful to novice and guru alike. It provides a clear, user-friendly, and somewhat protected interface to a Unix system while making many frequent file operations more efficient and preserving the full power of the command prompt. You will wonder how you could ever live without it. WWW: http://www.midnight-commander.org
### Information for most-5.0.0_1: Comment: **A pager (like less) which has support for windows and binary files** Description: most is a pager (like less) that displays, one windowful at a time, the contents of a file on a terminal. It pauses after each windowful and prints the following on the window status line: the screen, the file name, current line number, and the percentage of the file so far displayed. In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters. As an option, autosensing of binary files can be disabled (via the -k option), thereby allowing one to browse files encoded in a different language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc). WWW: http://www.jedsoft.org/most/ FTP: ftp://ftp.jedsoft.org/pub/davis/most
### Information for pkg_cutleaves-20090810: Comment: **Interactive script for deinstalling 'leaf' packages** Description: pkg_cutleaves finds installed 'leaf' packages, i.e. packages that are not referenced by any other installed package, and lets you decide for each one if you want to keep or deinstall it (via pkg_deinstall(1)).
### Information for portmaster-3.6.1:

### Information for samba35-3.5.11: Comment: **A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX** Description: The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD operating system. These programs deliver most of the important functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive, or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers. Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT. WWW: http://www.samba.org/
### Information for screen-4.0.3_10: Comment: **A multi-screen window manager** Description: Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows. WWW: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/
### Information for sudo-1.7.4.6: Comment: **Allow others to run commands as root** Description: This is the CU version of sudo. Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity.

With a freshly installed FreeBSD 8.2-Release on my system, I knew that I had a lot of tinkering to do on the extremely bare bones system. With that in mind, I also chose to install a meta-distribution of Linux that had everything set up from the get go, so as to have a working environment while I slowly tweaked FreeBSD.
Enter Ubuntu Linux 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot”
Negative reviews of the product from other users did not affect my decision to use Oneiric one bit. Never having frequently used the old Gnome 2 GUI, I hardly found Gnome 3’s GUI to be offensive - in fact, I found it quite easy to use. With Oneiric, all of my devices were detected, 3D graphics acceleration was working splendidly, and web-browsing was smooth as could be. Additionally, with the help of this site, my Oneiric installation was also able to fully utilize my FreeBSD’s zpools.
Upon searching for a local file-serving solution, I chanced upon FreeNAS (which was based on FreeBSD.) While FreeNAS offered a very flexible GUI to enable network services, it was essentially a stripped-down version of FreeBSD that lacked tools that were normally present in a vanilla FreeBSD installation. Additionally, FreeNAS’s installation menu did not provide a ‘fixit shell’ that I could use to create a custom ZFS root layout. As I was already using a barebones FreeBSD system for web hosting, I decided to alter it slightly to make room for indefinite data storage (ZFS).
I re-installed FreeBSD (8.2) on a ZFS root with GPT following this guide. I had to additionally run /stand/sysinstall as root to configure my network settings, and to install the Samba package as well as other miscellaneous packages.
I have created an importable Windows Registry key that will essentially block internet access for apps run by Wine. I found the usual method of creating IPTables (for Linux) rules per process and/or per user (think: # useradd wine) extremely tedious when administering several boxen.
Import the following key using Wines Regedit:

.. and restart the app for the changes to take effect.
For future reference, my pxelinux boot menu follows:

I installed Debian’s vrms package a few weeks back, and completely forgot about it until I received an email earlier today:

FFmpeg can extract the audio from FLVs without re-encoding to preserve the quality.
If you don’t already know what type of audio is in the file, do :
$ ffmpeg -i inputfile.flv
Along with some other data, it will tell you about the audio:
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 22050 Hz, mono, s16, 56 kb/s
As mp3 audio was used (which is usually the case in FLVs), perform the following command to extract it to output.mp3:
$ ffmpeg -i inputfile.flv -acodec copy output.mp3
Alternatively, for aac audio streams, you can use:
$ ffmpeg -i inputfile.flv -acodec copy output.**aac**
