CVSUP
Cvs up is the process whereby the base OS and the ports tree can be updated automagically..
Do a little /stand sysinstall to get cvsup without gui going and to add the system sources..

Here is how you do the cvsup thing:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile

SAMPLE CVSUPFILE
*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3  (for the 5.3 release)
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress
src-all
*default release=cvs tag=.
ports-all

buildworld

I usually add to my kernel config file:
CP GENERIC BEASTIE
edit BEASTIE like so...
:%s/GENERIC/BEASTIE/g
Delete all but the i686 in the cpu section
I usually add at the bottom
*****I usually get the sound going with a script....
**** I maybe moving to PF as the firewall of choice.
device    pcm
options   IPFIREWALL
options      IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE

TV Card
    device bktr
    device iicbus
    device iicbb
    device smbus
for my ati tv wonder ve I had to edit sysctl.conf...
sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=5

Building the World and recompiling at the same time!
make buildworld && make buildkernel KERNCONF=BEASTIE && make installkernel KERNCONF=BEASTIE && make installworld && mergemaster && reboot
This is done in /usr/src

MISC

rsync -rP <filename> user@172.11.11.101:/the/path

Kill a process
killall NAME OR
kill -9 "Process ID" aka PID

chmod 777 /dev/acd0c
this will allow like mplayer to read off your dvd's...  and some cd audio??
 when adding a user if you give the user the uid of 0 it is the same as making that user root.  You can change the uid wit a litte vim /etc/passwd

do this to update the locate database
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb &

UPTIME
So you wanna know how long your box has been running
uptime

turn  off the bell for all xwindows applications.
xset -display :0 b off

chsh   changes your shell

Forwarding Mail:
edit /etc/mail/aliases
uncomment root:  me@my.domain   Change to something like this....
# Pretty much everything else in this file points to "root", so
# you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or forwarding
# root's email from here.
root:   yeremail@duh.com
Save and run this command
newaliases

Unzip
unzip -d pencil pencil.zip will extract the zipped file pencil into a directory called pencil

BASH help for ky.gov proxy silliness
export HTTP_PROXY=http://publicserver:23
export FTP_PROXY=http://publicserver:23

TCPDUMP
tcpdump -i bge1 src host 172.26.23.35 and dst port 445
This is just a sample something blasting out port 445 traffic, like a virus or something.

Formatting a new Drive
Go into /stand/sysinstall
do the fdisk thing
do the label thing
then

newfs -O 2 -U /dev/ad7s1

mplayer

INSTALL From the ports!

Playing a dvd is something like this:
mplayer dvd:// /dev/acd0

playing an iso file is like this:
mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device sharktale.iso

I think had to do some of this:

DVD

VOBCOPY 
mount the dvd
vobcopy -i /cdrom -t FOLDERNAME -m

Copy Dvd's with mplayer
(this assumes the following are installed:  mplayer, vobcopy,cdrtools,mjpeg tools WITHOUT_QT=YES, transcode, dvdauthor)

Mount the dvd
then
mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /cdrom -dumpaudio -dumpfile dvd.mpa && mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /cdrom -dumpvideo -dumpfile dvd.m2v
then (this takes the two extracted files (audio/video) and slaps em into dvd compatable mpg file)
mplex -f 8 -o dvd.mpg dvd.mpa dvd.m2v

then
dvdauthor -o FOLDERNAME -x dvd.xml   (this creates the dvd file system, vobs, etc.dvd.xml is a kewl script from whiz..)

then(MUST BE root to use growisofs)
 growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/cd0 -dvd-video FOLDERNAME

(this burns it to dvd!)
***********************SHRINKING A Ripped DVD that's 2 Big******

GRABBING Chapter Info
/chapters2.pl /media/constantine/constantine/ 1
*******make sure the full path the video is used when grabbing chapters..
THis grabs the chapter info out of what is vob copied.

PASTE this into the dvd.xml file like..

<vob file="dvd.mpg"

cron

as root (or maybe a regular user..?)
crontab -e
0 1 * * * /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb &
0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile

This will update that locate database at 1am and run cvsup at 2am.

---

Samba

Install Samba from the ports..
actually do the samba-devel version as according to the whiz it works best for XP
edit smb.conf in this folder  /usr/local/etc

Put something like this in the WINS server location  162.114.200.270

Check out my smb.conf file on the ftp site..   This is to allow it to be a file server..
samba_enable="YES"   in rc.conf

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh start  will get er done

smbpasswd -a USERNAME

So here is the deal.   Samba needs a unix account, that is really how permissions other than read only
are granted.

---

portupgrade

Make sure BASH is installed  do the proxy export thingy if at work..

/usr/ports/make fetchindex

Install from ports:
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade

** Make sure that you install bash
do the export proxy thing.
make fetchindex in /usr/ports

Then do this:
 portsdb -uU && pkgdb -F

THis updates what is installed   do this after every cvsup think CRON

portupgrade -aRr

this will update everything that I have installed from ports to the latest flavor  running services will need to be restarted to get the changes.


portversion will let you know what needs to be upgraded
=  means current
<  is not current
>  ocassionally this will be for wacky new stuff outside the portsystem
*  Not available in ports but it is installed
========================================================================
Backing up installed ports

pkg_version > packages.txt

tar up /etc
tar up /usr/local/etc
tar up /home
tar up an

XARGS
cat packages.txt | xargs portupgard -N -F y stuff that you have added and don't have on cd (ie. mp3's, etc..)

ssh

ssh with keys
first at your machine do this
ssh -keygen -t rsa
then...

$ ssh server "mkdir .ssh; chmod 0700 .ssh"
$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub server:.ssh/authorized_keys2

permissions

find old_public_html -type d -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
find old_public_html -type f -exec chmod 644 \{\} \; The first part of like 755  is Owner  Group World
so 755  would be owner full control group and world read/execute

0=no access
1=execute
2=write
4=read

7=read-write-execute
6=read-write
5=read-execute
4=readonly
3=write-execute(never seen this)
2=write (not seen this)
1=execute(not seen this)
0=no access is used sometimes

Scripts

using a script to determine the correct sound module
in this folder
/boot/kernel
for f in snd_*; do kldload $f; done
this loads all of the sound modules.

start xmms

then do this:
for f in snd_*; do kldunload $f; done
now we need to do kldstat to see which one is the correct one.
go to /boot
edit loader.conf with somehting like this...
snd_maestro3_load="YES"

DVD2Divx  Script
dvd2divx 1 /cdrom paul.avi

Flac Script
for f in *; do flac -d "$f"; done

Mac Script
for f in *.ape; do mac "$f" "$(basename $f .ape).wav" -d; done

Mp3 Script
for f in *; do lame --decode "$f"; done

 newspost -d -i localhost -u freebsd4life -p "*******" -f "fred@pd.net" -F Ed -n alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.complete_cd -s "plz post Lifehouse-Stanley Climbfall" -y *

-d = defaults
-i = the server to use
-u = yer username
-p = yer password
-f = yer email
-F = yer name
-n = the newsgroup you are posting to
-s = subject
-y = use yencoding cause Whiz says so

Burn Commands

DVD
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0 (my home box)  -J -R /FOLDERNAME
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0  -J -R -joliet-long /FOLDERNAME

device atapicam needs to be in the kernel and it needs to be recompiled as well as  hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" in the old loader.conf

CDR
Burncd
mkisofs -J -r FOLDERNAME? | burncd -s max data - && burncd fixate
this burns the  folder to a cdr.   dig it.

Burning CD ISO
burncd -s max data ISOFILE.ISO && burncd fixate

burning a DVD ISO
growisofs -dvd-compat  -speed=2 -Z /dev/cd0=isofile.iso

burning a DVD movie folder
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/cd0 -dvd-video FOLDERNAME


Burning CD Audio
CD paranoia to copy an audio cd
cd /media/cdcopy
cdparanoia -d /dev/cd0 -B -- "1-"
cdrecord -dev=1,0,0 -v speed=10 driveropts=burnfree -pad -audio *.wav

the dev options requires that you run cdrecord -scanbus to find out which device is your burner,  what this does is copy the tracks from device cd1 to wav files in the /media/cdcopy folder
the it uses cd record to burn them to audio.
