install yesod on FreeBSD

This is for FreeBSD 10.0

http://www.yesodweb.com/page/quickstart

$ sudo pkg install hs-haskell-platform
$ cabal update

... now this says that we should upgrade with: cabal install cabal-install
... but do NOT do it, otherwise some packages will not find some header files

$ cabal install yesod-platform yesod-bin --max-backjumps=-1 --reorder-goals

... this takes long

$ ghc-pkg list | grep yesod
    yesod-1.2.5.2
    yesod-auth-1.3.0.4
    yesod-auth-hashdb-1.3.0.1
    yesod-core-1.2.14
    yesod-form-1.3.8.2
    yesod-persistent-1.2.2.3
    yesod-platform-1.2.10
    yesod-routes-1.2.0.6
    yesod-static-1.2.2.5
    yesod-test-1.2.1.2

If you happen to mess up the ghc/cabal packages, just

rm -rf ~/.cabal ~/.ghc/

freebsd samba mount without netbios

conneting samba share from freebsd over simple TCP and without netbios:

mount_smbfs -I <server> -W <domain> //agreif@<server>:445/<share> /home/agreif/<mountpoint>

2 important points:

• use the workgroup for the correct authentication domain 
• use the 445 port "samba over tcp" instead of 137 or 139
