Let's get one thing straight: safety is not sexy. It is not a numbers-matching big-block, a cheap barn-find Chevy, or a trophy wife who loves car shows. We'll bet that when you walked out into the garage today, checking your brake fluid level wasn't at the top of your list of things to do.
However, keeping your Corvette in safe running condition should be of the highest priority: after all, that isn't a brand-new Accord you're driving around in (thank God!): it is an old performance vehicle with tons of moving parts. Keeping those parts in good shape might make the difference between a nice drive, or a nightmarish breakdown. Interested now?
Safety service on classic Corvettes actually begins with some lubrication requirements. Changing engine oil is a general maintenance item, but if you overlook lubrication of the steering linkage, transmission shift linkage, parking brake assembly or accelerator linkage, safety problems could arise.
As Bryan Herndon of the Zero-to-60 Garage (www.zeroto60garage.com) in Sherwood, WI, used a power greaser to lube steering linkage fittings on John Bergstrom's '67 Corvette, he explained that old GM factory lubricant specs, such as the 6031M grease mentioned in early Corvette shop manuals, may or may not still be available. "A water resistant EP chassis lubricant is all you need," he said.
According to Bryan, your neighborhood auto parts store can supply most lubricants you'll need. For instance, any good 90W oil will work, as well as the GM Axle Oil in the shop manual. However, special lubricants like GM Positraction Differential Additive should also be on your shelf. Bill Turney, another Zero-to-60 technician, said it is a friction modifier. "It reduces friction to let the gears slip a little when you go around a corner," Bill explained. "Many positraction axles will have a plastic tag that will say to use only the slippery stuff," Bryan noted.
Whether your car has an automatic transmission or a stick shift, lubrication of the shifter linkage is considered a safety service. If the linkage binds, it could affect your ability to control the car. Shop manuals may call for water resistant EP chassis grease for the shift linkages and contact faces of transmission control levers, but Herndon prefers squirting just a little engine oil on them.
Bryan uses Kendall Super Blu High-Temperature L-427 grease on the Corvette parking brake cable, cable guides and operating links and levers. For obvious reasons, parking brake lubrication is especially important on stick shift cars with no parking gear. He applies it with one of those brushes with a short rolled-metal handle. Another assembly you don't want to bind is your accelerator linkage. The accelerator pedal lever can be lubed with a little engine oil.
Michael Jonas of Stainless Steel Brakes Corp. is a Vette enthusiast who gives seminars at events like Corvette Funfest. "Regreasing or adding fresh grease can sometimes cause problems," he warns. "The power steering valve should never be over-greased. It will cause failures and make the control valve pull in one direction. If you have a rear wheel bearing greasing tool, you can add too much and blow the seal out of the axle. The same goes for adding too much differential fluid. I think it's better if you just inspect for leaks and deal with them as they occur. If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Naturally, checking your brake master cylinder fluid level is a safety service operation, and is especially important if your stock classic Corvette has a single-circuit system. Dual-circuit braking systems came into use around 1967. On older master cylinders, you have to remove the cover and look inside to make sure the fluid level is not more than a quarter-inch below the lowest edge of the filler opening. On later cars, the master cylinder may have a monitor or see-through plastic reservoir with the proper fluid level mark molded into the plastic.
Many shop manuals covering classic Corvettes will recommend either Delco Supreme No. 11 or DOT-3 hydraulic brake fluid or the equivalent. However, many enthusiasts prefer DOT-4 fluid. DOT-4 is not silicone-based like DOT-5.0 or 5.1.
Topping off power steering fluid is also important if you want a safe car. On a Vette, the hardest thing about this may be finding where the dipstick is hidden. If the power steering fluid is warmed up to about 150 degrees F, the level should be between the "hot" and "cold" marks on the dipstick or filler cap indicator. If cold (about 70-degrees F), the level should be between the "Add" and "Cold" marks. Top off with GM power steering fluid 1050017 or an equivalent. Remember that power steering fluid doesn't have to be changed periodically.
If your classic Corvette has windshield washers, keeping the fluid reservoir filled is another safety service. Older Corvettes may have a bag to hold the fluid. Plastic jugs came into use later. There have been many types of systems used over the years, so follow the recommendations in your owner's manual regarding what type of fluid to use (store bought is probably fine) and how high the fill level should be. If you drive the car in cold weather, change to a fluid that won't ice up.
The purpose of regularly rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear, which makes your classic Corvette safer to drive. Recommended rotation patterns have changed over the years, so follow the advice in your factory owner's manual. If you don't have a manual, plan on 6,000- to 8,000-mile rotation intervals or do it if you see uneven wear. The first time is critical. If you notice uneven wear, check your alignment or look for mechanical problems.
If by chance your classic Corvette has a temporary-use spare, don't figure it into the rotation system. When you have five full-size tires, follow any regular tire rotation pattern from any manual, but start with your spare in the right rear position. Then use the tire that would have gone in that position as your spare.
Checking the air pressure in your tires is an important safety service. Do not assume that modern tires, even if designed to look old fashioned, should be inflated to the same pressure as tires of the 1950s-70s. Check sidewall markings or ask the company you bought the tires from for the correct inflation pressure. Also make sure you know the recommended cold or hot readings so you can get accurate readings, whether you're home or driving on the road.
In addition to inflation pressures, check the condition of your tires. Look for excessive wear or damage to the thread or sidewall. Look for bent or cracked wheels. Use a torque wrench or torque bar to make sure all wheels are tightened to factory specs. If your classic Corvette has drum brakes, check the brake adjustment, following the procedures outlined in the factory shop manual or an aftermarket repair manual. If you cannot get a proper adjustment, your brake linings are worn beyond safe limits and must be replaced. If the car has disc brakes, check to see if the pads are worn down, or whether the rotors are scored.
Jonas says that an entry-level set of good pads and rotors is fine for regular driving. "If your Corvette seems to push a little or slide when you apply the brakes, that means your pads are getting tired or your rotors are getting smooth," he says. "A lot of mechanics will tell you to just turn the rotors (on a lathe), so I should explain why you should never turn rotors. Turning one basically thins the life of the rotor."
A good rotor, if you maintain it properly, will usually last the life of your Corvette. Do this by making sure your pads don't go all the way down to the bolts where they hit the metal on it. He says it's impossible for mechanics to machine rotors the way the factory does. "The rotor is the heat sink in your braking system and absorbs heat, but it can't absorb as much if it's thinned out." The ideal combination is a hard rotor and soft pad. Hard rotors are a question of good metallurgy, rather than design. "You can tell the hard rotors by their shine," he explains. "Low-grade rotors are dull, not shiny. High-grade rotors have more chrome, stainless steel and carbon in them and that is what makes them shine more."
For safety's sake, check your Corvette's complete exhaust system, including the catalytic converter, if it has one (usually 1973 and later, but you do find '57 resto-mods with them). If your Corvette has external exhaust and you're using a car-lifting device that lifts on undercar jacking pads or frame members, you may have to use wooden blocks as spacers to make sure the exhaust shields and chambers have clearance and don't get damaged.
Check body areas near the exhaust system. Telltale signs of a leak into the passenger compartment include brown or black soot or water inside the car. Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts. Also inspect for open seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions that could cause a heat build up in the floor pan. Such problems can also let exhaust fumes enter the car. Make repairs immediately. To maintain the integrity of a system, if you replace the muffler, replace the exhaust pipes and resonators behind it, too.
Check both the front and rear suspensions on your Corvette. On C1 cars, look for sagging rear leaf springs. Up front, check ride height to see if one coil spring or the other is overly weak. Look for looseness, damage or missing parts in the steering system and suspension. Look for incorrect movement, vibration, looseness, wear, unnatural or unusual bends, heavy scrapes, lubricant leaks, dents, dings, tears, egg-shaped holes and torn or gooey rubber boots.
With a small, powerful flashlight, sight along brake lines and fluid lines for any damage or leaks. Look for boogered-up brass fittings that are crooked or have stripped threads. Look for lines that are loose or nearly rubbed through. Check for rust. We like to replace the mild steel lines on all our classic cars with stainless steel duplicates made by Classic Tube (www.classictube.com) or Inline Tube (www.inlinetube.com). We also have wheel cylinders and master cylinders re-sleeved with stainless steel at Brake & Equipment Warehouse (www.brakeplace.com) or White Post Restorations (www.whitepost.com).
Checking engine drive belts is considered a safety service, probably because a broken belt could strand you in an unsafe location with cars screaming by your Corvette on a long stretch of road. Check to see that your belts have the proper tension, as per your shop manual. If you see wear, cracks or signs of frayed rubber, replace the drive belt immediately.
Check and adjust your parking brake, especially on a stick-shift Corvettes. A factory shop manual or general repair manual covering your model year will give detailed instructions for the proper adjustment. Do not pull up or push down on a parking brake actuator with more than normal force. This can damage the parking brake, or cause it to become stuck with the braking action on.
Earlier we recommended lubricating your car's accelerator linkage. Now it's time to check the underhood throttle linkage for damage or missing parts. Any issues with the linkage could cause interference or binding and, in a worse-case scenario, make the throttle stick open causing you to lose control of the car. You'll have to remove the air cleaner assembly to get at the linkage. Drip a little engine oil on the pivot points to lubricate them and prevent binding.

A Brief Introduction To OpenFlow
OpenFlow is a specification now managed by the Open Networking Foundation, which defines the functions and protocols used to centrally manage switches via a centralized controller. OpenFlow is a command and control protocol that includes communication over SSL/TLS protected channels, feature discovery and configuration of devices by the controller, and managing the forwarding tables on the switches. The OpenFlow protocol doesn't stipulate how the network is designed or managed. That is up to implementers and vendors to decide.
OpenFlow was also designed to work with existing products--no specialized hardware is required. A number of vendors are offering experimental hardware that runs OpenFlow today and can run both OpenFlow and their native switching/routing software on the same switch by dedicating specific ports to OpenFlow and native switching/routing. Two vendors, Fujitsu and NEC, are shipping OpenFlow switches. Fujitsu's switch is OpenFlow-only, while NEC's is a hybrid.
Greg Ferro produced a Practical Introduction to Applied OpenFlow video that is worth watching and goes a bit more in-depth into the OpenFlow protocol.

First down
And now we begin what promises to be as turbulent an offseason this franchise has endured since probably the transformative 2009-2010 offseasons.
There are 24 unrestricted free agents, including starters Cliff Avril, Gosder Cherilus, Louis Delmas, Justin Durant, Chris Houston, Jacob Lacey, DeAndre Levy and Corey Williams, as well as key reserves Will Heller, Sammie Hill and Lawrence Jackson.
Kicker Jason Hanson and left tackle Jeff Backus will be contemplating retirement.
The Lions also have to make decisions on several restricted free agents, as well — Willie Young, Jason Fox, Joique Bell, Don Carey, Ricardo Silva and Amari Spievey.
Most of the upheaval is likely to come on the defensive end, where the line might have to be fortified and the secondary rebuilt. Also, the Lions most likely won't be able to retain both Durant and Levy — one or the other. Travis Lewis or Tahir Whitehead would then have to be ready to step into a starting role.
On offense, decisions on Backus and Cherilus could lead to a rebuilt offensive line — Riley Reiff, Jason Fox and Bill Nagy are all candidates to start next season. The receiving corps will also need to be restocked.
But before that happens, there's going to be some turnover on the coaching staff.
Jim Schwartz and coordinators Scott Linehan and Gunther Cunningham are expected to be back. Schwartz is under contract through 2015 — though that alone wouldn't preclude his firing — and both coordinators are under contract through next season.
Neither Schwartz nor general manager Martin Mayhew would comment about their futures Sunday.
Special teams coordinator Danny Crossman, who withstood some heat earlier in the season, is still on shaky ground but is also expected to return.
Several position coaches could be out, however, including receivers coach Shawn Jefferson, running backs coach Sam Gash, tight ends coach Tim Lappano and linebackers coach Matt Burke.
Second down
There was plenty of support throughout the postgame locker room for Schwartz and the coaching staff.
"I think he does a great job," defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said. "I think at some point, it's on the players themselves to be responsible and to put the team first. I think a lot of that just falls on individual players."
Vanden Bosch, who would not discuss his own future, took it a step further.
"I think he's a great head coach," he said. "I don't think there's a better one in the league, personally. Again, it's not just about the head coach or one person. This season was a disappointment to everybody in the locker room. Nearly everybody could have done something better, played better. I think that's where guys' minds should be.
"My opinion, he's a really good mixture of being a smart coach and being an emotional coach. I think this year for whatever reason, as a group we didn't respond the way we needed to."
Left guard Rob Sims said changes are inevitable, saying nobody expects a pat on the back after a 4-12 season. But he thinks Schwartz should stay.
"I think he's a very good coach; I think he's an improving coach," he said. "I think once in a while you'll hit a bump in the road. That's the way you've got to look at it. If you go back and look at all the things that happened this season, it just seems like not many times did it go our way.
"And the reason I call him a good coach is because for all that kind of stuff we could have shut it down a long time ago. But everybody was still hanging in here fighting and trying to get this done."
Third down
Jason Hanson, who on Sunday set the franchise record of 134 points this season and became the NFL's all-time leader with his 188th field goal of 40-plus yards, seems truly on the fence about coming back for a 22nd season.
"Honestly, I don't know," he said. "I had no idea I would play 21 years. It will be a definite year to evaluate. I will pray a lot. God's been good to me to keep me this long."
He said the key will be how motivated he is and how much he will need to work in the offseason to stay on top of his craft.
"There's no free ride here," he said. "The first 21 years make no difference if I don't prepare for 22, if it happens. So I will take a very serious, hard look at myself and talk with my family and pray and hopefully be led to know what to do.
"If I come back, it'll be full go. If I don't, it won't be because of the season or anything here but simply because I don't think I am going to prepare enough to be the best I can be."
Left tackle Jeff Backus said last week that he hadn't even begun to think about his future and wouldn't until the season was over and he had a chance to talk to his family. He was not available after the game.
Fourth down
Finally, somebody got it right regarding the often misused notion of accountability.
Middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch, in an interview with NFL Network's Albert Breer, said the burden of accountability is on the players more so than it is on the coaches.
"The problem here has to do with players, and learning how to handle success," Tulloch said. "It's one thing to get there, but just because it's the same team doesn't mean you'll get there again. It's up to us as leaders to enforce things.
"Coach puts us in good position, in a position to win. The only thing I could say, the players need to be more accountable and disciplined."
Tulloch, as he has said locally, believes all the offseason malfeasance with Aaron Berry, Mikel Leshoure and Nick Fairley, had a negative carryover affect.
"I think discipline is the biggest issue, that kind of selfishness, it hurts the team," he told Breer. "We've had guys hurt the team through their actions, and it lingered. We had Aaron Berry here, we were really counting on him, he gets dismissed, and now you need someone to fill in. And I think we've had changes in the secondary 13 times in 16 weeks because of that.
"It's hard to get chemistry when guys are hurting the team like that and you feel like you can't count on them. I try to put my finger on whether there's a bigger problem, but I get lost trying to pinpoint what it is. We need more accountability. Hopefully we can weed that out this offseason."

Govt 'violence manual' raises China net users' ire
Posted 2 hours 3 minutes ago
Extracts from what appears to be a government manual telling law enforcers how to use violence have caused outrage among internet users in China.
Details from the guide were published online and in a state newspaper.
One passage advises: "Take care to avoid leaving blood on the subject's face or visible wounds on the body."
The official who circulated the extracts said he thought much of the guide was useful but some parts were inappropriate.
The guide is aimed at local government enforcers who are employed to deal with low-level crime such as checking permits and removing unlicensed street vendors.
They have often been accused of using excessive force.
The gospel of high-tech genetically modified (GM) crops is not sounding quite so sweet in the land of the converted. A new pest, the evil pigweed, is hitting headlines and chomping its way across Sun Belt states, threatening to transform cotton and soybean plots into weed battlefields.]]>
In late 2004, "superweeds" that resisted Monsanto's iconic "Roundup" herbicide, popped up in GM crops in the county of Macon, Georgia. Monsanto, the US multinational biotech corporation, is the world's leading producer of Roundup, as well as genetically engineered seeds. Company figures show that nine out of 10 US farmers produce Roundup Ready seeds for their soybean crops.
So far, there have been no deaths from swine flu in the United States, and only one of the people who tested positive for the disease has been hospitalized, officials said. Even though most of the cases have been mild, officials said they expect reports of more severe infections, and said the government had declared a public health emergency over swine flu.]]>
Despite an annual budget of more than $5 billion, Mexico's health secretary said Monday that his agency hasn't had the resources to visit the families of the dead. That means doctors haven't begun treatment for the population most exposed to swine flu, and most apt to spread it. It also means medical sleuths don't know how the victims were infected — key to understanding how the epidemic began and how it can be contained.
It remained unclear where and how the epidemic began, how it has spread, who it has killed or how fast it is growing. And the government has yet to take some basic steps critical to containing any outbreak, such as quick treatment of people who had contact with the victims. In the town of Xonacatlan, just west of Mexico City, Antonia Cortes Borbolla told The Associated Press that nobody has given her medicine in the week since her husband succumbed to raging fever and weakened lungs that a lab has confirmed as swine flu. No health workers have inspected her home, asked how her husband might have contracted the illness or tested the neighbors' pigs, she said.Not exactly the best way to handle an outbreak. I almost feel bad for Cordova.]]>
WASHINGTON – Two million dead. Hospitals overwhelmed. Schools closed. Swaths of empty seats at baseball stadiums and houses of worship. An economic recovery snuffed out. We're nowhere close to what government planners say would be a worst-case scenario: a global flu pandemic. But government leaders at all levels, and major employers, have spent nearly four years planning for one in series of exercises.Their reports, reviewed by The Associated Press, and interviews with participants paint a grim picture of what could happen if the swine flu gets severely out of control. A full-scale pandemic — if it ever comes — could be expected to claim the lives of about 2 percent of those infected, about 2 million Americans.
Some advocates of tighter immigration rules are jumping on the swine flu public health emergency to call for the closing of the border with Mexico, including a ban on all air and ground traffic and importation of products.]]>
"The Obama administration's failure to secure our borders against a possible pandemic is putting American lives at risk at a time when days and hours matter," said William Gheen, head of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, accusing the Obama administration of "treating Mexico like a 51st state, instead of separate nation."

Welcome to All Things Baroque. We celebrate Baroque culture in all its forms - music, art, architecture, history, theatre, dance as well as food and wine. London was home to men with big hair such as Wren, Purcell and Händel, who, like his boss George I, was a naturalised Brit from Germany.
We are spoilt for choice with Baroque music, with concerts every day, although the flamboyant architectural style never took off here in the way it did in continental Europe. Baroque opera and dance are still performed, albeit not too regularly. We are lucky to have members who are professionals and specialists in all these fields.
All members are welcome to suggest and set up Meetups, including those in which they perform (either semi-pro and professional), as long as they are happy to be Event Hosts.

Most pre-1980s cars had vinyl headliners held in place with steel rods (bows) and were glued in place to the sides of the roof, and sometimes even under the front and rear glass. Installing a new stock-style headliner is takes a lot of trial and error; most enthusiasts take the car to a professional for this type of job. In the end, you get a headliner that looks stock, and it will cost you in the pocket. Late model cars use formed fiberboard or foam headliner bases. This allows the designers to mold in shapes and keep the visible fasteners to a minimum – always a plus. There are several methods for putting together a custom headliner, and some are more simple than others. To illustrate one such method, we built and installed a custom headliner for a 1963 Buick LeSabre wagon.
Being a 4-door, the wagon measures over 20 feet on the exterior. Such a large car is going to have a large interior, and the roof measures out at 4-1\4 feet wide by 8-1\2 feet long. One of the nice things about a factory vinyl headliner is the lack of visible fasteners and joints. The Buick had the upgraded headliner option, which was a masonite composite perforated hardboard. This headliner was installed in 3 pieces, with chromed plastic trim covering the joints. We wanted a smooth, seamless headliner, which because of the size of the roof, increased the difficulty of this task. Most custom headliners are made with wood or formed bases, such as fiberglass or shaping foam. These take a lot of time to design and install, and the fiberglass is messy, especially upside down. We have an alternative.
I discovered this technique in 1995 while "customizing" my first car, a 1983 Toyota (please spare the jokes, I was 19), the factory headliner was made from expanded metal sandwiched in foam. I have never seen this done by any custom shops, so you heard it here first. We ordered two 4x8 sheets of 20-gauge expanded metal and had the metal shop cut it to size. Since you can't get expanded metal wider than 4x8 (without having it custom made, which means big $$$$), we sectioned three pieces together by welding it. Using expanded steel for the headliner base requires several hands. The wagon took three people to install – a fourth would have been nice. The trick is to bow the metal in the center (towards the floor), and set the two edges in the channels on the side of the car. Next, the center is slowly lifted till it pops up, following the contours of the roof. This is the tricky part: trial and error fitting and trimming. We managed to get the measurements right the first time, so that was nice.
Once formed, the headliner metal was removed, trimmed for length and wrapped with foam and vinyl. The plan was for the headliner to have no visible fasteners, and the length of the headliner made that tough. The factory dome light was long gone, so we made a new dome light pod from wood and body filler to fit a billet aluminum dome light we picked up from Autoloc. This provided the support in the center of the headliner we needed. It doesn't take much to keep the metal in place; one well-placed mount does the trick.
In all, the entire process took a few days to design, trim and install. We spent a total of $189 on this project:
Expand steel (2 4x8 sheets of 20 gauge) - $75
3 yards of 3/16" foam - $15
3 yards of black perforated vinyl - $35
1 Autoloc billet dome light - $49
Upholstery glue, 2 quarts - $15
What we got was a killer looking custom headliner with no visible seams or fasteners and the satisfaction that we did ourselves. Most customs and hot rods have considerably smaller headliners, which would make this job easier and cheaper than our long roof.
The factory fiberboard headliner was crumbling. It actually caused a dangerous situation when a section came down while driving the car. The vinyl headliners are not quite that bad. The roof is quite large.
This is how you get the width down without wrestling the full size liner. A strip of expanded steel was placed in the channels on the side of the car, bowed down in the center.
Once the center is popped up, the tension holds it in place.
We sectioned three pieces together, with the long joint in the center and one joint at the tail. We used a MillerMatic 211 MIG welder cranked all the way down.
Welding expanded metal is tricky, since the thin metal burns easily. We found the trick for this is to hold a hammer or other shield on the other side of the welding area. This keeps the shielding gas over the weld, which makes all the difference. If you burn through, just take a breath and move on to the next one.
Cars in the 1960s had lots of trim. The headliner was trimmed out with 20 or so separate pieces. We blasted each one and powder coated it green, to match the green on black interior design we have for the wagon.
Since our wagon had a hardboard liner, it already had an aluminum channel in place to the edges. If your car has the typical loose vinyl style, then you will need to make these. A simple bend in some flat steel or aluminum does the trick. To make up for the thicker headliner, we opened up the bend in the channel on the wagon with a trim tool we picked up from Gearwrench.
Using the factory trim, we marked the edges of the metal for coverage.
The upper line is where the trim starts, and the second line is where we decided to cut it. This is arbitrary, as long as you don't cut it short. A set of tin snips from Gearwrench made quick work of the metal.
Once trimmed, the metal was pulled out and laid on some cardboard on the shop floor. Then we sprayed upholstery cement onto the metal and the foam. After letting it dry for a few minutes, the foam was laid over the metal and smoothed out. You want to use a quality glue, sprayed through a paint gun (a cheap siphon feed is best), and NOT an aerosol can. Aerosol glues are not good enough for this kind of task; the material will fall within a few days. You can usually buy it by the cupful at the local upholstery shop.
Next, we laid the vinyl onto the headliner, folded half of it back and sprayed some more glue down. The shop was kind of chilly when we did this, so we used a heat gun on low to warm up the vinyl and glue before moving on.
Working with a large piece requires two people – one to hold the bulk of the material, the other to stretch and press it in place.
You can't just lay the vinyl out and glue it down, you have to heat it and stretch it to get the wrinkles out. The tension from stretching also helps it keep its shape.
The rear section had a compound curve, which was not hard to wrap, but you could get wrinkles really easily if you didn't use heat and lost concentration.
Once the front side was done, we flipped it over and wrapped the edges. This is not absolutely necessary, but wrapping the edges will alleviate any loosening that could occur otherwise. It also looks nicer and saves your hands from some potentially nasty cuts.
Inside the car, we measured from the windshield to the stock dome light mount, as well as to the side of the car. We made a note of these measurements for positioning the new light.
The metal backing was drilled for the new dome light. Once drilled, we noted the locations so we could find the holes with the headliner in place.
This would have been really tricky if the wagon did not have a tailgate. You have to be careful here not to gouge any of the upholstery – the seats or the headliner. It took three people to get the headliner positioned.
You want to start in the center when installing the trim. This keeps the center locked in place, and the rest of the headliner with it.
We made a custom sculpted dome light pod using wood and body filler and wrapped in vinyl. The pearlescent green vinyl looks great, thought we may end up changing it later on to better match the seats. It does break up the large expanse of black on the headliner, though. The Autoloc dome light adds a nice touch of flash.
With the headliner in place, we measured to the center and trimmed it out with a razor blade and pulled the wire through.
Next, the pod was mounted to the roof. Note the helping hand in the back, supporting the backside of the headliner. The trim has not been installed yet.
We wired the light to the factory wires with a couple of crimp caps. In hindsight, we should have trimmed off some more wire, since stuffing the excess wire back under the headliner was a chore.
All done for the dome light. This will support the center of the headliner from drooping.
The freshly powdercoated trim was reinstalled around the perimeter of the headliner. As you can see here, the rear trim is quite convoluted; there are four separate pieces here.
The finished headliner looks great. The green color really sets off the trim against the black perf vinyl. Eventually, the rest of the interior will be re-upholstered in a mix of green and black, with brown accents, such as the dash (which is stock and absolutely perfect), remaining as is.

PADUCAH, Ky. (7/2/13) – A Hispanic couple living in Paducah spends most if not every weekend on the road doing God's work to spread the gospel.
Antonio Santos and his wife, Ada, have served as missionaries for nearly 10 years, and felt called to develop relationships with churches in other parts of western Kentucky after the Baptist Association located in Mayfield contacted them about helping lead a Hispanic ministry.
Santos said the work began in Paducah, where he and his wife established a mission that now serves as many as 100 people. Two years ago, they began working through the aid of their son, Jonathan, and his wife, Lori, to set up a mission at the First Baptist Church in Henderson. With the support of the leadership and church pastor Dodd Lynn, the mission in Henderson has grown into a service that worships to between 40 and 50 people weekly.
More recently, Santos said Lynn introduced him to Owensboro's Pleasant Valley Community Church Pastor Jamus Edwards, and the two began to discuss the possibility of establishing a third Hispanic mission under the Santos' leadership. The mission held its first service at the church on Pleasant Valley Rd. in early June, and has been working to expand ever since.
"We are praying for every opportunity," Santos said.
Among the efforts Santos said he and his wife have taken on were the placing of posters in prominent locations for local Hispanics, visiting Mexican restaurants, and encouraging people who attend the services to invite family and friends to come with them.

Revision as of 08:16, 16 November 2012
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Warden® is an easy to use, graphical jail[1] management program. Using Warden®, it is possible to create multiple, isolated virtual instances of FreeBSD which can be used to run services such as Apache, PHP, or MySQL in a secure manner. Each jail is considered to be a unique FreeBSD operating system and whatever happens in that jail will not affect your operating system or other jails running on the PC-BSD® system.
Warden® has been redesigned for PC-BSD® 9.1, and is now part of Control Panel. A command line version is also available for those who prefer to work from the command line or script their jail management.
Some of the new features in Warden® include the ability to:
- create three types of jails: a traditional FreeBSD jail for running network services, a (less secure) ports jail for safely installing and running FreeBSD ports/packages from your PC-BSD® system, and a Linux jail for installing Linux
- set multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses per jail
- quickly install meta-packages of common network server applications on a per-jail basis
- use Update Manager for installed meta-packages on a per-jail basis
- use User Manager to manage user accounts on a per-jail basis
- manage ZFS snapshots on a per-jail basis if the PC-BSD® system is formatted with the ZFS filesystem
- export a jail which can be then be imported into the same or a different jail
Creating a Jail using Warden®
Warden® can be started by clicking on its icon in Control Panel or by typing pc-su warden gui from the command line. You will be prompted for the adminstrative password as only the superuser can create and manage jails.
The first time you start Warden®, you will be prompted to set the network interface as your jails will not work if the wrong interface is configured. Click Yes to set the interface using the screen shown in Figure 8.19a. You can access this screen at a later time from Jails ➜ Configuration.
Figure 8.19a: Warden® Configuration
This screen allows you to configure the following:
- Jail Network Interface: all jails created within Warden® share the same physical interface. Use the drop-down menu to select the network interface to be used by the jails.
- Jail Directory: contains all of the created jails where each jail has its own sub-directory named after its IP address. By default, it is /usr/jails. If you change this directory, make sure the location has sufficient space to hold the jails.
- Temp Directory: used when exporting and importing jails. Make sure that the directory has sufficient space to create a tar file of the jail and its contents.
Once you click the "Save" button to save your interface configuration, you will be presented with the main Warden® configuration screen, shown in Figure 8.19b.
Figure 8.19b: Initial Warden® Screen
To create your first jail, click the "+" button or go to File ➜ New Jail. A jail creation wizard, seen in Figure 8.19c, will launch.
Figure 8.19c: Creating the New Jail
The first screen in the jail creation wizard will prompt you for the following information:
IP Address: input the IPv4 or IPv6 address to be used by the jail and access its contents. Choose an address on your network that is not already in use by another computer or jail.
Hostname: you can change the default of "Jailbird" to another value. The hostname must be unique on your network. Use a hostname that reminds you of the type of jail and your reason for creating it.
When finished, click "Next" to select the type of jail, as shown in Figure 8.19d:
Figure 8.19d: Select the Type of Jail
There are three types of jails supported by Warden®:
Traditional Jail: select this type if you are creating the jail in order to install and run network services. For example, this type of jail is appropriate if you wish to run a web server or a database which is accessible to other systems on a network or over the Internet. This is the most secure type of jail as it is separate from the PC-BSD® host and any other jails that you create using Warden®.
Ports Jail: select this type of jail if your intention is to install software using FreeBSD packages and ports and you wish to have access to that software from your PC-BSD® system. This type of jail is less secure then a traditional jail as applications are shared between the jail and the PC-BSD® system. This means that you should not use this type of jail to install services that will be available to other machines over a network.
Linux Jail: select this type of jail if you would like to install a Linux operating system within a jail.
The remaining screens will differ depending upon the type of jail that you select.
Traditional or Ports Jail
If you select "Traditional Jail", you will be prompted to set the root password as seen in Figure 8.19e.
Figure 8.19e: Setting the Traditional Jail's Root Password
Input and confirm the password then press "Next" to see the screen shown in Figure 8.19f. If you instead select to create a "Ports Jail", you will go directly to Figure 8.19f.
Figure 8.19f: Select the Jail Options
This screen allows you to install the following options:
Include system source: if you check this box, make sure that /usr/src/ exists on the PC-BSD system as the source is copied to the jail from this location. If it is not installed, use Control Panel ➜ System Manager ➜ Tasks ➜ Fetch System Source to install it.
Include ports tree: if you check this box, the latest version of the ports tree will be downloaded into /usr/ports/ of the jail. This will allow you to compile FreeBSD ports within this jail.
Start jail at system bootup: if this box is checked, the jail will be started (become available) whenever you boot your main system. If the box is not checked, you can manually start the jail whenever you wish to access it using Warden®.
Once you have made your selections, click the "Finish" button to create the jail. Warden® will display a pop-up window containing status messages as it downloads the files it needs and creates and configures the new jail.
Once Warden® is finished creating the jail, a message should appear at the bottom of the pop-up window indicating that the jail has been successfully created. Click the "Close" button to return to the main screen.
Linux Jail
If you select the "Linux Jail" and click "Next", you will be prompted to set the root password as seen in Figure 8.19e. After inputting the password, the wizard will prompt you to select a Linux install script, as seen in Figure 8.19g.
Figure 8.19g: Select the Linux Distribution to Install
The installation script is used to install the specified Linux distribution. At this time, installation scripts for Debian Squeeze and for Gentoo are provided. Scripts for other distros will be added over time.
NOTE: a Linux installation script is simply a shell script which invokes a Linux network installation. In the case of Debian Squeeze, it invokes the debootstrap command.
Once you select the install script, the wizard will ask if you would like to start the jail at boot time as seen in Figure 8.19h.
Figure 8.19h: Linux Jail Options
Click the "Finish" button to begin the Linux installation.
Managing Jails
Once a jail is created, an entry for the jail will be added to the "Installed Jails" box and the tabs within Warden® will become available. Each entry indicates the jail's IP address, hostname, whether or not it is currently running, and whether or not any updates are available for the meta-packages installed within the jail. The buttons beneath the "Installed Jails" box can be used to start or stop the highlighted jail, add a new jail, or delete the highlighted jail.
This section provides an overview of how to manage jails using the tabs within the Warden® interface.
Info Tab
The "Info" tab, as seen in the example in Figure 8.19i, provides an overview of a jail's configuration. If you have created multiple jails, the "Info" tab displays the configuration of the currently highlighted jail.
Figure 8.19i: Info Tab of Warden®
In the example shown in Figure 8.19i, three jails have been created. The first jail is a traditional jail, the second is a ports jail, and Debian Squeeze has been installed into the third jail.
The "Info" tab contains the following information:
- Jail Type: will indicate if the jail is a Traditional, Ports, or Linux jail.
- Size on Disk: indicates the amount of space being used by the jail. The jail itself takes up about 300MB of space, source is about 300MB, and ports are about 850MB.
- Start at boot: a status of "Enabled" indicates that the jail will automatically start when the system reboots. "Disabled" means that you will manually start the jail as needed.
- Active Connections: will list the number of active connections to the jail (e.g. through ssh or one of the running services).
- Additional IPs: click the "edit" link if you would like to bind additional IP addresses to the jail.
- Listening on Ports: indicates which ports are currently listening for connections.
You can sort the jail listing by clicking on the "Jail", "Hostname", "Status", or "Updates" header name. The "Updates" column will indicate if a software or system update is available for a jail.
Tools Tab
The "Tools" tab, shown in Figure 8.19j, allows you to manage common configuration tasks within a jail.
NOTE: make sure that the desired jail is highlighted when using the "Tools" tab.
Figure 8.19j: Tools Tab for the Highlighted Jail
This tab provides the following buttons:
- User Administrator: opens User Manager so that you can manage the highlighted jail's user accounts and groups. The title bar will indicate that you are "Editing Users for Jail: IP_of_Jail". Note that any users and groups that you have created on your PC-BSD® system will not be added to jails as each jail has its own users and groups. This button is not available if a Linux jail is highlighted.
- Service Manager: opens Service Manager so that you can view which services are running in the jail and configure which services should start when the jail is started. Note that this button is not available if a Linux jail is highlighted.
- Launch Terminal: opens a terminal with the root user logged into the jail. This allows you to administer the jail from the command line. This button will be greyed out if the highlighted jail is not running. You can start a jail by right-clicking its entry and selecting "Start Jail" from the menu or by clicking the start jail icon (a blue arrow icon below the list of jails).
- Check for Updates: launches Update Manager to determine if any of the jail's meta-packages have newer versions available. Update Manager will also indicate if system updates are available to be installed into the jail. Note that this button is not available if a Linux jail is highlighted.
- Export Jail: launches a pop-up window prompting you to choose the directory in which to save a backup of the jail (and all of its software, configuration, and files) as a .wdn file. Creating the .wdn file may take some time, especially if you have installed src, ports, or software.
Snapshots Tab
If you chose to use the ZFS filesystem when you installed PC-BSD®, you can use its snapshot feature to make point in time filesystem backups of jails. A snapshot is essentially a picture of what the filesystem looked like at that point in time. Snapshots are space efficient in that they take up zero space when created and the snapshot only grows in size as files contained within the snapshot are modified after the snapshot was taken. In other words, ZFS manages the changes between snapshots, providing a way to return to what a file looked like at the time a snapshot was taken.
Since jails share the filesystem used by PC-BSD®, any type of jail, including a Linux jail, can take advantage of this ZFS feature if the ZFS filesystem was selected during the installation of PC-BSD®.
The "Snapshots" tab, shown in Figure 8.19k, is used to create and manage snapshots within the currently highlighted jail.
NOTE: this tab will be greyed out if you are not using the ZFS filesystem.
Figure 8.19k: Snapshots Tab for the Highlighted Jail
To create a snapshot of the jail, click the "+Add" button. A snapshot indicating the date and time will be added to the slider bar. If you create multiple snapshots at different times, use the slider bar to select a snapshot.
Once you have created a snapshot, the following actions can be used to manage the snapshot. Make sure that the desired snapshot is highlighted in the slider bar before clicking these buttons:
- Restore: returns the system to what it looked like at the time the snapshot was taken. Think about what you wish to accomplish before using this option as any changes to files that occurred after the snapshot was taken will be lost. Unless you really want to go back to this point in time, this is probably not what you want to do.
- Mount: if you wish to retrieve some files or directories from a snapshot, use this button. Once mounted, a message will indicate where on the PC-BSD® system the jail's contents have been mounted.
- Unmount: when you are finished accessing the contents of the mounted snapshot, click this button to unmount the snapshot.
- Add: use this button to create additional snapshots.
- Remove: use this button to remove the highlighted snapshot.
This screen also allows you to schedule automatic snapshots. To enable this feature, check the box "Scheduled Snapshots". Use the drop-down menu to set the frequency to daily or hourly. You can also type in or use the arrows to configure the number of days to keep each snapshot.
Packages Tab
The "Packages" tab, shown in Figure 8.19l, allows you to install meta-packages within the specified traditional or ports jail. Software installed using this method will be tracked by Update Manager, meaning that Warden® will be notified when updates are available for the installed software.
Figure 8.19l: Packages Tab for the Highlighted Jail
NOTE: by default, jails use the warden metapkgset which provides packages suited to a server, command line installation. At this time, meta-packages are not available for Linux jails meaning that this tab will be greyed out if a Linux jail is highlighted.
The following meta-packages are available:
- Database-Servers: MySQL and PostgreSQL
- Development: ccache and distcc
- File-Servers: Samba
- Languages: PHP
- Virtualization: VirtualBox
- Web-Servers: Apache, Lighttp, NGINX, and Squid
Hover over a package to receive a short description. If you right-click a package, it will indicate which packages and versions will be installed.
Right-Click Menu
A jail's right-click menu contains the following options:
- Start or Stop this Jail: allows you to start a jail (if it is currently not running) or to stop a jail (if it is currently running). You will not be able to access a jail that has not been started. The icon next to the jail will change to indicate the current status: a red X for a stopped jail and a blue arrow for a started jail.
- Toggle Autostart: toggles a jail's Autostart between "Disabled" (does not automatically start when the PC-BSD® system is booted) and "Enabled" (will start the jail when the PC-BSD® system is booted). The "Info" tab will be updated to indicate the new "Start at boot" status. Note that toggling autostart will not affect the current running status of the jail (i.e. it does not start or stop the jail right now) as autostart is only used when the system boots.
- Export jail to .wdn file: allows you to save the jail (and all of its software, configuration, and files) as a .wdn file. This allows you to quickly clone a pre-configured jail to a new jail on either the same or another PC-BSD® system. The exported jail will end with a .wdn extension and the filename will be the IP address of the jail. When exporting a jail, a pop-up window will prompt you to choose the directory in which to store the backup. A progress bar will indicate that the export is in progress. Creating the .wdn file may take some time, especially if you have installed src, ports, or software.
NOTE: you should close all network connections to the jail before exporting it as Warden® will need to stop the jail in order to back it up. If your jail is running services (e.g. a webserver), export the jail at a time that will least impact network connections to the jail.
- Delete Jail: removes the jail and all of its contents from the PC-BSD® system. You will be prompted to confirm this action.
Importing a Jail
The "File" menu can be used to create a new jail, import a jail, or exit Warden®.
If you click File ➜ Import Jail you will be prompted to browse to the location of a previously created .wdn file. Once selected, you will be prompted whether or not to use the same IP address for the new jail. If you are creating a new jail on the same system that still has the original jail installed, select "No" and input the IP address for the new jail. However, if you have deleted the original jail or need to restore that same jail on another computer (for example, there was a hardware failure on the system containing the original jail), you can choose to use the same IP address. You will then be prompted whether or not to use the same hostname. Only select "Yes" if that hostname is no longer in use; otherwise, select "No" and input a unique hostname for the jail. Warden® will then recreate the jail with all of the original settings. Whether or not those settings include the original IP address and hostname depends upon your selections.
Using the Command Line Version of Warden®
The Warden® GUI is based on a Bourne shell script. This script can be manually run from the command line on a PC-BSD® server or by users who prefer using the command line. Advanced users can also refer to the command line version in their own scripts.
If you type warden at the command line, you will receive a summary of its usage:
warden Warden version 1.2 --------------------------------- Available commands Type in help <command> for information and usage about that command help - This help file gui - Launch the GUI menu auto - Toggles the autostart flag for a jail checkup - Check for updates to a jail chroot - Launches chroot into a jail create - Creates a new jail details - Display usage details about a jail delete - Deletes a jail export - Exports a jail to a .wdn file get - Gets options list for a jail import - Imports a jail from a .wdn file list - Lists the installed jails pkgs - Lists the installed packages in a jail set - Sets options for a jail start - Start a jail stop - Stops a jail type - Set the jail type (portjail/normal) zfsmksnap - Create a ZFS snapshot of a jail zfslistclone - List clones of jail snapshots zfslistsnap - List snapshots of a jail zfsclonesnap - Clone a jail snapshot zfscronsnap - Schedule snapshot creation via cron zfsrevertsnap - Revert jail to a snapshot zfsrmclone - Remove a clone directory zfsrmsnap - Remove snapshot of a jail
Each command has its own help text that describes its parameters and provides a usage example. For example, to receive help on how to use the warden create command, type:
warden help create Warden version 1.2 --------------------------------- Help create Creates a new jail, with options for system source, ports and autostarting. Available Flags: -32 (Create 32bit jail on 64bit system) --src (Includes /usr/src system source) --ports (Includes the ports tree) --startauto (Start this jail at system boot) --portjail (Make this a portjail) --linuxjail <script> (Make this a linux jail and use supplied script for installation) --archive <tar> (Use specified tar file for BSD jail creation) --linuxarchive <tar> (Use specified tar file for Linux jail creation) Usage: warden create <IP> <HOSTNAME> <flags> Example: warden create 192.168.0.5 jailbird --src --ports --startauto
You do not need superuser access to use the view commands but will for any commands that create or manage a jail. The warden command will display an error message if a command requires superuser access and you currently are not the superuser. On PC-BSD®, you can put pc-su at the beginning of the warden command to be prompted for the administrative password. On a FreeBSD server, you can type su to become superuser, then repeat the warden command.
If you have an existing FreeBSD jail that you would like to import or if you want to create a new jail with a specific world environment, create a tar archive of that jail or environment. Then, when using the warden create command, include the --archive name_of_tarball.tgz option.
Managing Software Not Available in Packages Tab
The rest of this section demonstrates how to install and upgrade software that is not available in a jail's "Packages" tab.
Note that the software you install into a traditional jail will not be available to your PC-BSD® system. In other words, software installed into a traditional jail is meant to be used within the jail, or, in the case of network applications such as a web server, to be configured to be available over the network.
The commands demonstrated in this section can also be used to install software inside a ports jail. The software you install into a ports jail will be available to your PC-BSD® system. If you are interested in installing software on your PC-BSD® system that is not available as a PBI or you wish to learn how to use FreeBSD packages and ports without affecting the software that came with your PC-BSD® system, install the software within a ports jail.
NOTE: to manage software in a Linux jail, use the package management system provided by that Linux distro. For example, in Debian Squeeze, use txt=Missing Link[2].
All of the commands in this section assume that you have highlighted the jail that you wish to install software into and clicked Tools ➜ Launch Terminal.
Installing FreeBSD Packages Within a Traditional or Ports Jail
The quickest and easiest way to install software inside the jail is to install a FreeBSD package. A FreeBSD package is pre-compiled, meaning that it contains all the binaries and dependencies required for the software to run on a FreeBSD system.
When dealing with FreeBSD packages, the following command line utilities are used:
- pkg_add: used to install packages. If you have never used this command before, take the time to read man pkg_add to get an overview of how this command works.
- pkg_delete: used to uninstall packages. If you have never used this command before, take the time to read man pkg_delete to get an overview of how this command works.
- pkg_info: used to get more information about the packages that have been installed. This command provides many useful switches so it is well worth your time to read through man pkg_info and to experiment with various switches.
A lot of software has been ported to FreeBSD (currently nearly 24,000 applications) and most of that software is available as a package. The best way to find FreeBSD software is to use txt=Missing Link[3]. If you are using the firefox PBI, it provides a FreshPorts search plugin for quickly finding software.
Figure 8.19m shows the search results for electric; the search was performed using the firefox plugin.
Figure 8.19m: FreshPorts Search Result
Each listing in the search results includes the name of the software, the version, a description, the category (e.g. security), the email address of the port's maintainer, a CVSWeb link containing the details of the port, and a link to the software's main website. Each entry includes the command used to compile the port (as described in the next section) and the pkg_add -r command used to install the package.
To install a package, use the pkg_add command using the remote (-r) switch to install the specified package from the FreeBSD packages repository. For example, this command will install the electric package:
pkg_add -r electric Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/electric.tbz... Done.
You should receive a message indicating that the package was successfully fetched, then your prompt back. Depending upon what is already installed within the jail, your messages may indicate that dependent packages were also fetched. Some packages include post-installation instructions that will be displayed in the message. Occasionally you will see a warning about a version mismatch; you can ignore these as they do not affect the installation of the package. Unless the message includes an error indicating that the system was unable to fetch or install the package, the installation was successful.
You can confirm that the installation was successful by querying the package database:
pkg_info -ox electric Information for electric-7.0.0_4: Origin: cad/electric
Most packages install their binary (executable) in /usr/local/bin and configuration files in /usr/local/etc/. You can find out exactly what was installed using the -L (list) switch. If you include -x, you will not have to type in the entire name and version of the package as pkg_info will match any installed packages containing your query string.
pkg_info -Lx electric | more Information for electric-7.0.0_4: Files: /usr/local/bin/electric /usr/local/share/electric/lib/.cadrc /usr/local/share/electric/lib/ALS.help /usr/local/share/electric/lib/AllDialogs.c <snip rest of output>
The pkg_delete command can be used to uninstall either a package or a port. If you include the -x switch, you do not have to give the full name and version of the software. Be sure to give enough of a name so that you do not inadvertently uninstall other software matching the name:
pkg_delete -x electric
If you just get the command prompt back, the delete was successful. You can verify this by checking that the package no longer exists in the package database:
pkg_info | grep electric
You will just get your prompt back if no installed software matches that name.
If the software has other applications that depend upon it, pkg_delete will refuse to uninstall it. If you wish to override this setting, you can use the -xf switch to force the delete. However, use the force switch with caution as forcibly removing software can adversely affect the applications that required it as a dependency.
Compiling FreeBSD Ports Within a Traditional or Ports Jail
Typically, software is installed using the pkg_add command. Occasionally you may prefer to compile the port yourself. Compiling the port offers the following advantages:
- not every port has an available package. This is usually due to licensing restrictions or known, unaddressed security vulnerabilities.
- sometimes the package is out-of-date and you need a feature that became available in the newer version.
- some ports provide compile options that are not available in the pre-compiled package. These options are used to add additional features or to strip out the features you do not need.
Compiling the port yourself has the following dis-advantages:
- it takes time. Depending upon the size of the application, the amount of dependencies, the amount of CPU and RAM on the system, and the current load on the PC-BSD® system, the amount of time can range from a few minutes to a few hours or even to a few days.
NOTE: if the port does not provide any compile options, save your time and the PC-BSD system's resources by using the pkg_add command instead.
You can determine if the port has any configurable compile options by clicking on its CVSWeb link in FreshPorts. To continue the example shown in Figure 8.19m, Figure 8.19n shows the results when the CVSWeb link is clicked for electric.
Figure 8.19n Viewing a Port's Information at FreshPorts
If you click the link for Makefile, you can read the commit messages for every version of the Makefile; this can give you a good idea of how long the port has been available, how often it is updated, and any major changes that have occurred. Alternately, to view the current Makefile, click on the Rev. number--in this case, 1.24. The distinfo contains the checksums for the source files; again, you can either read the current revision or scroll through the list of commits. The pkg-descr contains a description of the software; if you read the revision, it will begin with the commit message. The pkg-plist contains a list of what is installed (i.e. it is the equivalent of running pkg_info -Lx as described in the FreeBSD packages section). When reading this list, mentally replace anything between %% markers with /usr/local/.
Before you can compile a port, you must first install the ports collection into the jail. If you did not choose to do so when the jail was created, you can install the ports collection using the following command. You will know that you have the ports collection when /usr/ports/ is populated with many subdirectories, each representing a category of software.
portsnap fetch extract
If you compile additional software at a later date, you should make sure that the ports collection is up-to-date using this command:
portsnap update Ports tree is already up to date.
Once you have the ports collection installed into your ports jail, change to the subdirectory of the application you wish to install, for instance /usr/ports/cad/electric, and issue the command to make and install the application. FreshPorts provides the location to cd into and the make command to run.
cd /usr/ports/cad/electric make install clean
If the port's Makefile includes OPTIONS, a configure screen will be displayed. The example in Figure 8.19o shows the options for the openvpn port.
Figure 8.19o: Configuration Options from a Port's Makefile
To change an option's setting, use the arrow keys to highlight the option, then press the spacebar to toggle the selection. Once you are finished, press enter. The port will begin to compile and install.
NOTE: if you change your mind, the configuration screen will not be displayed again should you stop and restart the build. Type make config && make install clean if you need to change your selected options.
If the port has any dependencies with options, their configuration screens will be displayed and the compile will pause until it receives your input. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the compile until it finishes and you are returned to the command prompt.
How long the compile will take can range from a few minutes to many hours, depending upon the size of the application and the speed of your system. The make command will spit out many messages, most of which you can ignore as they are simply an indication of which source is currently being compiled. Occasionally, make will encounter an error and will stop with an error message. If the solution for the error is not obvious to you, try a web search for the keywords in the error message.
NOTE: sometimes due to licensing reasons a port will require that a file be downloaded manually and placed into the /usr/ports/distfiles/ directory. After downloading and copying this file to that directory, repeat the make command to finish the compile.
Once the port is installed, it is registered in the same package database that manages packages. This means that you can use the pkg_info command to determine what was installed, as described in the previous section.
Keeping Software Up-to-Date
Any software that you install using the "Packages" tab within Warden® can be kept up-to-date using Update Manager. Simply highlight the jail and go to Tools ➜ Check for Updates. Update Manager will also indicate when security patches and newer versions of the operating system are available and should be used to keep the jail's operating system patched and up-to-date.
However, you will need to manually upgrade any software that you installed using pkg_add or any ports that you compiled yourself within a traditional or ports jail. In order to do this, you will need to:
- Update the ports collection so that it is in sync with the latest version.
- Install the portmaster utility which is used to upgrade FreeBSD packages and ports.
- Read /usr/ports/UPDATING so that you are aware of any gotchas before you attempt to upgrade the software.
- Perform the upgrade.
These steps are demonstrated in more detail in this section.
Update the Ports Collection
If you used pkg_add to install the software, you may not have the ports collection installed within the jail. This is the case if /usr/ports does not exist or is empty. To install the latest version of the ports collection, use this command:
portsnap fetch extract
If the ports collection is already installed, use this command to make sure that it is up-to-date:
portsnap update
Install an Upgrading Utility
At this time, the portmaster command is the recommended utility for upgrading software installed using packages or ports. To install this program within the jail, use this command:
pkg_add -r portmaster rehash
Read /usr/ports/UPDATING
Before upgrading installed software, always read through /usr/ports/UPDATING first. This file contains any gotchas or special instructions that are needed to upgrade certain ports. Ports maintainers add to this file as new gotchas are discovered. However, you will want to start reading the file at the entry that is closest to the date that your version of PC-BSD® was released (if you have not upgraded anything yet) or the date you last upgraded, and read your way up to the top of the file. For example, this entry indicates that FreeBSD 9.0 was released on January 12:
20120112: AFFECTS: Nobody AUTHOR: email@example.com FreeBSD 9.0 released.
As you read through the entries from that date up to the last entry at the beginning of the file, make note of any entries that match the software that you have installed. If you are unsure of what software is installed, this command will tell you:
pkg_info | more
Occasionally, a software upgrade (e.g. perl) may affect many applications. If you come across such entries that affect your installed software, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
If your software is up-to-date and you prefer to be notified as new entries are added to /usr/ports/UPDATING, consider subscribing to its RSS feed[4].
Perform the Upgrade
After using the portsnap command to update your ports collection and reading /usr/ports/UPDATING, you are ready to upgrade your installed software using the portmaster command.
The following command will look for out-dated ports and offer to upgrade them for you. If any of the software has configuration options, you will be presented with their configuration menus to make your selections.
portmaster -a ===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports ===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates <snip some output> ===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed: Upgrade mpg123-1.12.3 to mpg123-1.12.5 Upgrade p5-Object-InsideOut-3.69 to p5-Object-InsideOut-3.72 Upgrade linkchecker-5.3 to linkchecker-5.4 Upgrade tomcat-6.0.29 to tomcat-6.0.29_1 ===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]
If you press enter to accept the default of yes, the upgrade will begin. As each upgrade completes, you will be asked if you want to delete the source for the old version of the software (which can save disk space). If you do not want to be prompted, include -D or -d with the portmaster command. There are many switches available for portmaster so it is a good idea to man portmaster to see which ones interest you.

Ann Arbor — To hear Trey Burke talk, he was just doing his job.
Watching him do his job, though, it's impossible not to see just how much the sophomore point guard means to his team — surely more than any player in college basketball — a point driven home Sunday as Michigan's good-hands man thwarted archrival Michigan State.
The final score was 58-57 in favor of the Wolverines, but only after Burke stepped in and stole a game the Spartans were threatening to take for themselves, having erased a 10-point in the final 4-1/2 minutes to put the sellout crowd of 12,693 at Crisler Center on the edge of their seats.
But with the game tied at 56 with 23 seconds left, in stepped Burke, literally and figuratively, swiping the ball from Michigan State's Keith Appling near midcourt and racing in for a breakaway dunk.
That proved to be the winning basket, but only after another steal from Burke, intercepting a pass from Gary Harris intended for Appling in front of the Michigan State bench as the Spartans tried to run a play to win the game in the final 5 seconds.
Burke, who finished with five steals and a game-high 21 points and eight assists, called the first theft the best of his college career. But he acknowledged the second one isn't far behind. And that emphatic, smiling two-handed slap he gave the floor late Sunday afternoon, urging his teammates to follow suit? Well, that wasn't meant to "mock" his rival, he insisted, as much as it was to remind the Wolverines what it would take — intensity, enthusiasm, and defense — to beat them.
"I just felt like it was my job to make a play for this team," Burke said after a performance that surely bolstered his case for national player of the year honors. "I've had a lot of those type of steals, but our team needed that the most at that time. Who knows what would've happened if I hadn't got that steal? Maybe we'd be crushed here, if they hit a game-winning shot."
Maybe? No, certainly, they'd have been crushed. Because this game was about more than just keeping alive hopes for a share of the Big Ten title, which Michigan admittedly did Sunday, even as they handed Indiana a two-game cushion on the rest of the league with two games to play.
Coming off what Burke himself described as a "crushing" loss at Penn State earlier in the week — not to mention a losing record (3-4) in February — this was a huge statement game for the Wolverines.
Plenty will be said about what it means for Michigan State now, nursing its first three-game losing streak in two years after committing 18 turnovers and shooting 36 percent from the field Sunday.
Branden Dawson was a nonfactor again, while Travis Trice was benched for making a mess of things just before halftime. And the task of rehabbing Appling's shot confidence — he has missed his last 18 3-point attempts — probably gets tougher after the way this game ended, though Tom Izzo was quick to say afterward that "I'm really not worried" about his point guard's psyche.
Still, Izzo did acknowledge he "wasn't sure where Appling was (mentally)" after his late turnover, and that was part of the reason Harris — not Appling — got the inbounds pass to start the final play.
Tough customers
Whatever the case, it was Michigan's season that seemed to be hanging in the balance coming in. And that's why Burke and seniors Corey Person and Josh Bartelstein called a players-only meeting Thursday. For more than 90 minutes — hey, they were at the Pizza House, Burke admitted with a laugh — the players talked about what was wrong and what needed to be done to right the ship.
"We felt like, you know, we need to stop having meetings," Burke said. "We need to have this one last meeting and really just hold each other accountable. Just playing with more toughness and more intensity. We knew that Michigan basketball, a lot of people are saying that we're not tough, that we're soft.
"But tonight we didn't look that way. And I think from here on out, we've all made a vow that we're gonna come out and play with toughness for 40 minutes."
They did that Sunday, for the most part, though they still got bullied on the boards, as Michigan State grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. Michigan also didn't hit a 3-pointer, which hasn't happened to one of Beilein's teams since he was coaching Canisius back in 1995.
But they played better post defense — a healthier Jordan Morgan helped — and they were far less passive than they were in East Lansing a few weeks ago. And while you can debate a flop or two that drew charging fouls, Michigan's young team learned an important lesson Sunday: Good things tend to happen if you're willing to put yourself in harm's way.
Of course, better things happen when a player like Burke is able to step in at the end.
"I just kept telling the guys, 'We have to find a way to win this game,'" he said. "And we did."
