To be fair; answering machines never became huge in Sweden as far as I know [06:55] can anyone tell me how to resolve this: pkg_delete: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring [06:56] I'm trying to resolve some issues with 'portmaster --check-depends', but I see that when adding/removing ports. [06:56] there's a pkgdep fix up command somewhere [06:56] I've seen it referenced [06:56] it goes out and rebuilds by looking t the actual filesystem [06:56] RandalSchwartz / dxtr : http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2009/05/31/demo-300-baud-acoustic-coupler-modem-connects-to-internet-surfs-wikipedia/ [06:57] * RandalSchwartz runs over to work [06:57] interesting little video if you're feeling nostaligic :) [06:57] bob^^: I'll look into it...

[07:44] 'reboot' [07:44] :D [07:44] oh wait [07:44] you can't log in as root, can yuo? [07:44] but its at a log in prompt hehe [07:44] nope [07:45] d'oh :) [07:45] yeh lol [07:45] in which case, you'll need to power cycle it [07:45] you can do that from the ARP portal iirc [07:45] yep [07:45] stay logged in on vnc? [07:45] just keep an eye on VNC as it'll boot pretty quick :) [07:45] yeah [07:45] as soon as you see the freebsd boot menu, hit the number for single user mode - i can't remember off hand what number it is [07:46] http://files.cyberciti.biz/uploads/faq/2009/11/freebsd-boot.png [07:46] yep [07:46] option 3 :) [07:46] d'og [07:46] lol, d'oh, useless fingers [07:46] option 4 even [07:46] hehe [07:47] shut down hard? [07:47] 'boot' did nothing [07:47] yeah, that'll do you [07:47] you can shut down hard and then power on [07:47] should do the same job [07:47] just be prepared to wait for it to run a full fsck when it comes back up in multi user mode [07:48] (does it in the background so you may not even notice tbh) [07:48] vnc disconnected [07:48] won't allow me to reconnect [07:48] that's ok - just reconnect as soon as you power it back on [07:48] oh i power it on too [07:48] lol [07:48] gosh [07:48] :D [07:48] A NEW WORLD HERE [07:48] :P [07:48] thnx man [07:49] np - just connect quick so you make sure you can see the menu :) [07:49] ok booting [07:50] the vnc stuff with ARP is awesome, quite a life saver :D [07:50] *** ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks [07:50] some sort of pam error [07:50] it spat out [07:51] hmm [07:51] did it go to the menu ok? [07:51] yeh [07:51] i am at prompt now [07:51] ah cool [07:51] restting passes [07:51] gave me a pam error tho [07:51] hmm [07:51] should be cool i HOPE [07:51] :) [07:51] heh [07:51] what's the error? [07:51] i'm wondering if something naughty has happened to your password file [07:51] pam_chauthtok() : error in service module [07:52] don't reboot it yet [07:52] and what command did you run to get that? just 'passwd' ? [07:52] I doubt it man, I only just got this and the passwords I reset to earlier were really long and full of odd chars [07:52] yes just passwd [07:52] do a 'cat /etc/passwd' [07:52] and make sure you don't have two root accounts or something daft [07:53] root should be on one line, the first line in the file, and nowhere else [07:53] hang on - that should be cat /etc/master.passwd, sorry [07:54] actually, check for any duplicate users at all [07:54] there should be one row per user, and usernames should all be unique [07:54] chances are you've somehow ended up with two identical usernames in that file [07:56] *** steinberg has joined #arpnetworks [07:58] sorry got disconnected there [07:58] lemme see [08:01] bob^^: do you know is direct root login blocked by default on FreeBSD vps [08:01] ? [08:01] I think it's blocked by default in ssh, but not console [08:02] that's how freebsd comes loaded [08:03] ok [08:03] thought so too [08:05] yeah - you can enable root login over ssh, but it's generally a Bad Idea (tm) [08:07] *** ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) [08:10] got it sorted aem ? [08:12] nah man sam pam crap [08:12] I booted to single user set new pass with passwd [08:12] no dice [08:12] did you check master.passwd for duplicate users? [08:12] my vnc frose when i catted it [08:12] had to reboot [08:12] heh [08:12] i'd offer to take a look for you if you'll trust me with your vnc password :D [08:13] bizarre [08:13] hmm [08:13] that pam error means it hasn't updated the password database so that's why you can't log in [08:13] are you ok with using vi? [08:13] right [08:13] yes [08:13] ah, cool [08:13] use vipw then [08:13] yes hehe [08:13] kk [08:13] in single user? [08:13] that shouldn't cause it to flip out ninja stylee [08:13] yeah [08:13] awesome [08:13] just check that you don't have a username twice (any username) [08:14] all the google for that message suggests that there's something wrong with the format of master.passwd [08:14] hm yes [08:14] :-/ [08:14] eeek [08:14] lol [08:15] no worries [08:15] it'll be easily fixed :) [08:15] yep [08:15] :) [08:16] hehe bob^^ [08:16] pw_temp(): Read only filesystem [08:16] ?! [08:16] :O [08:16] buhhh [08:16] oh [08:16] that should be safe to ignore [08:16] it will not let me open vipw [08:17] it'll just be vi making a backup copy of the file which it doesn't really need [08:17] oh [08:17] hmm, sec [08:17] lol [08:17] yeah its mounted ro i guess [08:17] yaeh, i can't think why /tmp would be mounted ro [08:18] I wonder when up_the_irons will awaken [08:18] :) [08:18] you're not using zfs or anything fancy are you? [08:18] nope [08:18] this is pretty much b rand new vps [08:18] i suspect the only solution he'll be able to help with is reinstalling it from scratch for you :( [08:18] i had just csup'd new source to build with [08:18] :-/ [08:18] i don't mind taking a look if you fire over your vnc details [08:18] and you're happy to trust me of course :) [08:18] understandable if not [08:19] * bob^^ looks shiftily around [08:19] well yes [08:19] :) [08:19] you understand [08:19] hehe [08:19] hmm [08:19] no worries [08:19] it does sound a bit odd [08:19] if it helps i'm a freebsd sysadmin all day every day :) [08:19] all i did was change my passes [08:19] yes, that is pretty bizarre [08:19] you didn't change any shells did you? [08:19] nah [08:20] added a user with csh [08:20] i've typo'd shells in master.passwd before and ended up in a similar state [08:20] pw user add or adduser? [08:20] thats it [08:20] adduser [08:20] it should def have got it right [08:20] * bob^^ scratches head [08:22] you could try pwd_mkdb /etc/passwd [08:23] to regenerate the password databases in case somehow they've become knackered [08:23] would be pretty odd though [08:23] at the very least that might spit out an error if there's a problem with the format of your password file [08:24] *** fink has joined #arpnetworks [08:27] aem: still stuck? [08:27] hehe yeh [08:27] I gotta go out [08:28] and pay some bills [08:28] bbiab [08:28] :) [08:28] chat to ya then if you're still around [08:28] thanks again [08:28] cool let me know if you're still stuck later - however i may be out in the sun drinking beer :) [08:28] gl! [08:38] ok. I think I've solved my --check-depends issue (finally). Is there a clean/easy way to rebuild all ports on my system? [08:38] I'd like to make sure everything is built against the right depends and no depends are missing. [09:17] portmaster -af. this is going to take a while.
