Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition
Hi Eric, Thanks for the reply. I have now a better understanding whats possible with FreeBSD. One question (last one) which I could not find an answer to in the online manual is : How would you do a Dual or multi OS boot machine f.e. with Windows on the first disk, first slice, first partition and FreeBSD on another partition ? Would I need a boot floppy or perhaps its not possible at all ?

I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot. Don't do that. You can not have /boot as a separate partition. It just contains the kernel and the loader. The other things that are needed for booting (like /bin/sh or /sbin/mount) reside elsewhere. (Having /boot as a separate partition is apparently some Linux-specific convention.) What is normally done under FreeBSD when you want a small boot partition is to create /usr and /var as separate partitions which will let you create a small (100M) '/' partition. (You will probably also want either a separate /home partition for user home directories, or let them reside under /usr/home. (I think the latter is the default, but I am not 100% sure.) No /boot/loader ... Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel ... 1) I wouldnt mind on which partition /boot or / sits or what its named, but I would like to separate /boot on a different partition and it seems like it wouldnt boot when I do this. Is this just a matter of updating the bootloader ? Wouldnt the installer do that automatically ? See above. You can't do that. 2) The part which I dont get is why is / always ad2s1a - even when I create /boot first ? (/boot will become f.e. ad2s1d) and SWAP will become ad2s1b. You need to boot from / and it should be partition 'a' on the slice. It is probably possible to change this, but it would be much more pain and trouble than it is worth.

watch(8), xwatchwin as courseware [solved by script/tail]
Hi. I have to teach no-frills freebsd courses. I wonder how I can arrange all the students seeing on their displays what I'm typing in my xterm in real-time. I haven't been very successful with xwatchwin (I've been able to see it in action but it wasn't very pleasant, and it dumps core on me lately). watch(1) seems to be ideal for my purposes - students log on to my box (maybe even gain root privileges if I don't tweak devfs) and watch my pty. They can even copy and paste what I'm typing in their xterms. But there's a show- stopper: it seems that only one snp(4) device can attach to a tty at the same time and only one watch(1) can use a snp(4) at the same time. So what do you suggest? Hmm... Just as I was typing this I saw a simple solution. I can use script(1) dumping to a file with -t0 (flush on every char) and people can just tail -f this file. Performance is great on a local machine, but is very laggy over NFS... I tried 'mount -o acregmin=0,acregmax=0' and the perfomance is almost real-time now. Great :-) It really is true that many solutions come just as soon as you try to describe your problem clearly :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipfw plus authentication???
Hi I am looking for ways to manage our LAN by having each user register their ipaddress, mac address, workstation os, etc. in our ldap directory. Now in our pcrouter, the users will first send his login credentials to the pcrouter, and then the pcrouter will check against ldap if this login is correct, and if it is, then it will now do an ldapsearch/compare operation to see if the source address (ip/mac) of the user trying to gain network access is indeed belongs to that user. Only then, the ipfw ruleset will be changed to allow traffic originating from this source address... Anyone have gone with this solution before?? Thanks - Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

Root on vinum volume on freebsd6.0/sparc64
Hi! Is here a way to place the root partition of freebsd in a mirrored vinum volume? I have read tutorials which explain the procedure in more or less detail, but all the tutorials seem to deal with the x86 version. For example the tutorials assume that freebsd is installed on a slice and that the first 8 sectors of this slice contain the bootstrap. And it tells you to move some partitions a few sectors. On sparc64 I did neither succeed to create overlapping partitions nor is there the possibility to shift a partition a few sectors (to leave space for the vinum configuration data). Has anyone experience with a root partition on a vinum volume on sparc64?

Introduction Authpf(8) is a user shell for authenticating gateways. An authenticating gateway is just like a regular network gateway (a.k.a. a router) except that users must first authenticate themselves to the gateway before it will allow traffic to pass through it. When a user's shell is set to /usr/sbin/authpf (i.e., instead of setting a user's shell to ksh(1), csh(1), etc) and the user logs in using SSH, authpf will make the necessary changes to the active pf(4) ruleset so that the user's traffic is passed through the filter and/or translated using Network Address Translation or redirection. Once the user logs out or their session is disconnected, authpf will remove any rules loaded for the user and kill any stateful connections the user has open. Because of this, the ability of the user to pass traffic through the gateway only exists while the user keeps their SSH session open. From here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/authpf.html Ofcourse this does not cover the IP|MAC address checking you mentioned, but I don't see how this enhances security. It will be easy for a user to change his IP|MAC address. HTH, Nikos Anyone have gone with this solution before?? Thanks - Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo!

Helping interpreting crash
Hi folks,
My FreeBSD server (6.0-RELEASE #0) crashed out the other night. I have a
custom kernel in place with debugging on so can get the info out the
dump in /var/crash
Thing is, I'm not sure how to interpret it. I can see all the stuff
about ip and the network but I don't know if it means that is the
culprit and the handbook only goes into how to get the data out of the dump.
So could anyone possibly have a look at below (or tell me of somewhere I
can go to get the right info..bearing in mind I don't know all that much
about the kernel) and let me know what's up?
Thanks,
Colin.

As a sidenote, I recently upgraded sendmail to 8.13.6 using the ports
tree with a few commands I picked out of the web. Whilst it appears that
8.13.6 is still on the server, it has somehow lost its ability to use
sasl2 which was compiled into it as follows:
**Added to Makefile
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes
**Also uncommented lines about tls, smtps and sasl2
**Make command
make DESTDIR= PREFIX=/usr PIDDIR=/var/run DESTETC=/etc/mail
DESTEXEC=/usr/libexec DESTRUN=/var/run DESTBIN=/usr/sbin install
As a result I have had to recompile sendmail to get support back. (I'm
aware this probably isn't the best way of upgrading
RE: hunting for secure fileserver-connection!
If you don't trust CIFS/Samba enough to be secure against local sniffers, and you won't run IPsec, you're left with odd things like Sun's SecureNFS software, only I doubt that's available for a FreeBSD fileserver. that's what i was afraid of. ipsec would be great, if it was possible to have it setup itself against the server each time you login (maybe windows logon) but theres always a client software needed, and in most cases, you're not able to access other networks smoothly if connected. If you've got 1.5TB of storage, perhaps you should talk to Auspex or NetApp and see what the NAS folk have to offer... maybe you're right on that, but currently, we have to test the FreeBSD thing, and set it up (because the hw is already here...) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ipnat syntax error?
Erik Nørgaard wrote: .. snip .. Well, my suggestion is not to exhaust your precious /28 address space right away. And don't make your life unnecessary difficult, why choose the addreses in the middle for bimap? Rather than using all your external ip's right away I would save some for later expansion, and reserve one for debugging. You may need to connect a laptop on the external net to figure out what's going on. You could do this: x.x.x.0/29 to servers (bimap), x.x.x.8/30 debug and future expansion (not mapped), x.x.x.12/30 map for lan clients. If you stick to cidr you can also write your filter rules in cidr making it far easier to read an maintain. For the mapping, and bimapping consider this: The /24 network you want to map, it contains at most 254 hosts. If you map that network to a single ip, then each host can establish at least 256 simultaneous connections. My experience is that this is far mor than needed in most normal operating environments. I'd suggest using the same ip as on the firewall external interface. If the purpose of binatting is to make one service available, http say, then you may consider using rdr. IIRC you can also use rdr to round robin load balancing incoming connections. That way you can have one host serving http and another serving smtp on the same external ip. The only reason to use different ip's is if you're hosting a number of https servers, each need a different ip. There's no point in bimapping all ports on a external ip to one single internal ip if most of them are blocked by the filter. Cheers, Erik Erik, Thank you again for your advice. Due to historical reasons I can not just take a /29 or /30 block out of the middle of the cidr I will ultimately use -- this FreeBSD server will implement a firewall on an existing connection replacing an old Cisco router that only NAT'd.

How can I increase the shell's (or specific application's) memory limit?
Hi, I've got a question which is probably pretty easy to answer: how can I assign more memory to a PHP script running in a shell and/or in a browser. Some more background info: I'm building a PHP script that has to retrieve pretty large sets of data from a remote MySQL database, then process it, and store the results to a local database. The issue: The script (surprise, surprise) quickly runs out of memory. Now, I have already tried to increase the memory limit in php.ini (followed by an Apache restart, of course), but even when setting the limit to something high like 384MB or so, the script still bails out with a memory limit error when retrieving as little as some 50MB of data... Now, of course I could rewrite my PHP script such that it will retrieve smaller batches of data, but being a programmer I'm lazy, and I'd rather simply assign more memory to the script (actually, it's not only due to laziness, but also due to the fact that the script has to agregate data etc., and I'd rather have it do that in 1 run for a variety of reasons). It seems to me like setting the memory limit in php.ini above a value of 64MB (or so) doesn't seem to have any effect anymore. My assumption then is that the memory limit is somehow enforced elsewhere (the shell perhaps, and/or Apache?). Can anyone tell me how to adjust this such that I can successfully assign say 384MB of memory to PHP scripts ran both from browsers (i.e. through Apache 2.2 and mod_php) as from the commandline?

Hi Olaf,
Generally, I think it's bad programming practice to retrieve such big
datasets if it is possible to do otherwise.
Concider this example:
I needed an app which would write a file which has a set size. The
most obvious way to do this, is to make a random string which would be
X bytes long. That, however, is not feasible, and very slow.
The solution is to find a data size which is not too small and not too
big, so disk I/O and CPU time are balanced well.
?php
$num = ''; // The string to write
$bytes = 419430400; // 400 megs
$starttime = time();
$blocksize = 1048576; // 1 meg blocks
$totalblocks = $bytes / $blocksize;
$filename = 400.megs;
for($i=0;$i$totalblocks;$i++)
{
for($x=0;$x$blocksize;$x++)
{
$num .= rand(0,1);
}
$difftime = time() - $starttime;
$hours = date('H', $difftime) - 1;
$minsecs = date('i:s', $difftime);
$y = $i+1;
$pct = round(100/$totalblocks*$y, 2);
echo [$hours:$minsecs] Writing block $y, $pct%\n;
file_put_contents($filename, $num, FILE_APPEND);
$num = '';
}
?
Now, I suggest that you retrieve only a certain amount of SQL rows at
a time, process them, and throw them into your local database. This
will make your application a lot faster, by the way.

Re: How can I increase the shell's (or specific application's) memory limit?
Hi Daniel, Generally, I think it's bad programming practice to retrieve such big datasets if it is possible to do otherwise. I definitely agree that it is bad practice, and in that respect I'm inclined towards doing batch loading as you suggest too. However, there's some data agregation I'll have to take into account, and as it involves testing for the presence of specific tables of a merge table set, I'd have to rewrite part of that logic. All doable, of course, and no big issue either, but it would be a lot faster for me if I could simply increase the memory limit Still, I very much hear you, and I know that what you suggest _is_ the proper approach, so I may end up doing that too. ;) Also: there is another perhaps more elegant (read: robust) way, being a hybrid solution between the PHP script and using mysqldump. I can then use PHP for working out the batches, and retrieve the batches using a (set of) commandline mysqldump call(s). The generated batches can then directly be dumped into the proper merge tables. The only catch is that I directly left join data in into the merge tables, so I'd have to first do a blunt dump of the lhs of the data, then of the rhs(es) (both to temp tables) and then afterwards left join them into the eventual merge tables. This is the main reason why I hadn't chosen this solution, as at present I can combine all of these steps in one query...:/ If someone knows a clean way to increase the memory limit, I'd be happy to hear about it. If not, I'll do some rewrite...

Help understanding SMART log info
Hi there, brand new thinkpad z60m , 100GB Sata drive. Wednesday night, it started doing this little tsttttsttt..tstt... like it was trying to re-spin or something like this. laptop crashed - HARD. FS were a complete mess, drive VERY slow to use, most of the time doing the noise. this lasted for 3 days. Before returning it under warranty, i decided to wipe whatever data was there, so I left the drive running outside the laptop over the weekend on an USB-SATA adapter - the noise was still there, and pushing about ... 20 Kbps only. This morning the drive is working just fine and I can access ALL the data just fine (was using an OS-X box and must have made a mistake on my dd line , not sure why, BUT it didnt wipe a thing).

RE: How to recover /usr and /home directory
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin D. Vinas Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 10:43 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: How to recover /usr and /home directory Hi, I have a previous 40GB HDD which crashed during power outage and now no longer repairable. Before I installed a new HDD, I can still see the contents of that defective hard disk when booting from a single user mode. Now, I set it up as slave and installed a new FreeBSD on the new master HDD. But then, when I mounted the old hard disk, I can no longer see any content in my /usr and /home directories. These directories are the ones with hard error reading blocks which made FreeBSD not to continue booting due to unending and irrepariable fsck commands on this filesystem. All my website files and programs are on that old HDD especially in the /usr directory. Does the new setup master/slave have somehow caused those files hidden? How do I mount even the fragmented blocks? Any suggestion on how I can recover my files? Why is FreeBSD so susceptible to fragmentations when suddenly turned off or when there is a power outage? This is what I don't like with FreeBSD; it does not care too much on data! Even the fsck doesn't tell you that the hard disk is no longer usable as it will still prompt you to do fsck over and over again. And now, my /usr and /home suddenly disappeared when mounted. I can still see these two directories last week but now it seems they're gone. Thanks. Edwin I assume your old /usr and /home are (or were) partitions. Check /etc/fstab and your disklabels for accuracy now. If bsdlabel can't find the partitions on your old disk, then you can try using /usr/ports/sysutils/scan_ffs to rebuild your disklabels if necessary. You'll then need to rerun fsck to see what you can salvage. Regarding fsck itself, I suppose one could add intelligence for fsck to issue ever increasingly stern and obnoxious warnings to backup your data ...

Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition
Hello FreeBSD Fans,
I wanted to create a new system and was thinking about the following layout.
Do you really mean that or to you mean put root which is '/' in its
own partition?
There is no reason to put just /boot in a separate partition. It's just
a directory to help keep some things nicely organized and has no real
stand-alone value. It is not very large nor does anything write to it
in ways that might make it change size in an uncontrolled manner. Those
things (size, stand-alone value, may grow in size unexpectedly) are the
usual reasons for making a separate partition plus isolating users and
projects.
Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system
100M /boot /dev/ad2s1a UFS2+S
1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP
15GB / /dev/ad2s1c UFS2
I want to put /boot on its own partition, but somehow I dont have a lot of
luck.
I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot.
No /boot/loader
...
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
No /boot/kernel/kernel
...
1) I wouldnt mind on which partition /boot or / sits or what its named,
but I would like to separate /boot on a different partition and it seems
like it wouldnt boot when I do this. Is this just a matter of updating the
bootloader ? Wouldnt the installer do that automatically ?
The reason it won't boot that way is that everything needed to boot must
be in the booting partition because nothing else is mounted at that time.
The boot partition must be 'a' and must be montable as '/' (usually called
root). During boot, the system does a special read-only mount of the
first ('a') partiton in the bootable slice. /boot is supposed to be part
of that partition. If you make /boot a separate partition, then it will
not be mounted and not be available for the boot process to read. Since
there is stuff in there that is needed for boot, then it won't work.
Anyway, when the system comes up to a full multi-user mode, it mounts
everything as in /etc/fstab. That first (a) partition then is remounted
according to what is given in /etc/fstab which must be '/' (eg root) for
things to work right and is normally mounted read/write (though there are
ways of arranging things to make it work read only).
I am guessing you don't understand the meaning of what is in /boot and
what it is used for. See first part of my comments.
Maybe /boot is an unfortunate name for that directory. Maybe it should
really be named kernel.stuff or kernel.loader or something like that. I am
guessing the name boot is deceiving you as to its function.
jerry
2) The part which I dont get is why is / always ad2s1a - even when I create
/boot first ? (/boot will become f.e. ad2s1d) and SWAP will become ad2s1b.
The first partition in a slice is considered the boot slice and '/' is
the boot partition.
So what I end up with is something like
Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system
15GB / /dev/ad2s1a UFS2
1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP
100M /boot /dev/ad2s1d UFS2+S
Any replies much appreciated.
Best regards

Hi, I ran into an interesting problem installing FreeBSD on the following hardware: MoBo: Asus P3B-F, latest BIOS CPU: PIII, 500MHz HD: Maxtor 90871U2 (9GB) = primary IDE master CD: Sony CDU 4811 = secondary IDE master 256MB RAM Boot Sequence: Floppy, CD, HD FreeBSD is to be installed into two slices on the HD - one slice for everything except /home, the other one for /home. The problem: When installing FreeBSD (doesn't matter 5.x or 6.x) the PC can't be booted off the HD after installation. When trying to boot I get an error message saying invalid partition table. Digging further into the problem I've found out a workaround: When I change the BIOS-parameters for the HD to User Defined Harddisk and LBA booting is possible. Even more: during initial installation of FreeBSD it doesn't matter if the setting for the HD in the BIOS is Auto or User-defined/LBA - however when trying to boot off the HD this setting does very well matter. To cross-check I've installed FreeBSD with a HD-setting of Auto, then changed the BIOS to User-defined/LBA and was able to boot the PC from the HD. Please note that this happens with both 5.4, 6.0 and 6.1-Beta4. When checking the BIOS-settings I found out that Auto and User-defined/LBA show different values: Auto-setting: (PC cannot boot from HD with these settings) Cylinders 1024 Heads 16 Sectors 63 CHS capacity528MB Maximum LBA Capacity8700MB User-defined HD / LBA: (PC can boot from HD) Cylinders 1024 Heads 255 Sectors 63 CHS capacity8422M Maximum LBA Capacity8700MB Here are my questions: o) Has anybody else experienced this behavior - possibly also on a PC with Asus P3B-F motherboard? o) Why does this happen? (I suppose something weird with HD-geometry, i.e. the BIOS not reflecting the correct HD-parameters) o) Is there a way to boot with the HD-parameters in the BIOS left to default (Auto)?

Firefox 1.5 getting downright irritating
Does anyone know how to get Firefox 1.5 to *always* start with the ProfileManager? I'm using KDE 3.5, FreeBSD 6.0, Xorg 6.9.0 and Firefox 1.5. I've created an application starter on the menubar that has the path to firefox (/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox) with the argument -ProfileManager. The first time I start Firefox, the profile manager pops up and prompts me to select a profile. All subsequent launches of Firefox use the profile that I selected initially. I want Firefox to prompt me *every* time it starts, because I have created several profiles, each designed to do different tasks and be open in different windows. Each profile uses tabbed Homes so I can start a number of tabs with different tasks in them. I've edited profile.ini as follows: StartWithLastProfile=0 and StartWithLastProfile=1 Neither setting makes any difference at all. Checking and unchecking the box to start on startup *also* does nothing. (As does the prompt to make firefox the default browser.) I even tried removing StartWithLastProfile entirely. *Nothing* works. There's no man pages for firefox, firefox-bin, profile.ini, profilemanager, mozilla or mozilla-bin, and googling has been futile so far.

I still get: #web date Mon Apr 3 08:46:13 EDT 2006 (Note, it's 12:46 pm when I ran this.) web# ntpdate 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org Looking for host 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org and service ntp host found : rrcs-24-123-214-97.central.biz.rr.com 3 Apr 08:54:32 ntpdate[1881]: step time server 24.123.214.97 offset 14443.665454 sec The offset even shows the 4 hours my machine is behind, but it doesn't set the time because the difference is too great. (I think) That would be unusual behaviour for ntpdate, and probably constitute a bug. ntpdate should always set the time (unless you use -d) Do you have a somewhat high securelevel? From man securelevel: 2 Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks may not be opened for writing (except by mount(2)) whether mounted or not. This level precludes tampering with file systems by unmounting them, but also inhibits running newfs(8) while the system is multi- user. In addition, kernel time changes are restricted to less than or equal to one second. Attempts to change the time by more than this will log the message ``Time adjustment clamped to +1 second''.

Re: Best way to print photos
OK. I got bordered photo printing working. I haven't gotten borderless printing working, alas. The key points I learned: (1) Install print/cups. (2) Install graphics/hpijs. This filters .ps - goo the printer groks (3) Install graphics/gimp. This makes .ps files (4) Kill lpr/lpd before starting cups. (5) Make sure you configure lpr/lpd not to startup on boot (6) Remove lp* binaries (7) Setup buildworld /etc/make.conf so it doesn't build lpr with NO_LPR or WITHOUT_LPR (8) Add printer via localhost:631 web interface. (8) Set printer to draft mode via cups for testing (9) Use firefox to generate test prints. (10) To print from gimp, I have to remove the '-l' from the command line every time I print in the printer setup. This causes the raw .ps file to go to the printer, rather than via cups' postscript filter for the printer. (11) To get photos, one must set photo quality via cups setup interface. #10 is was tripped me up for a long time. That's why printing to the black and white printer worked for me (it was a postscript printer), while it failed to the color. I hadn't noticed before that it printed the raw postscript and then lots of new lines. Since these newlines weren't accompanied by CR, all text was off the edge of the papper, all I got was a bunch of blank pages. #5 bit me on boot. Since cups replaces the /etc/printcap unconditionally, when lpd started it failed to start. I lost a bunch of print jobs before I worked out where they had gone and why things had gone south. I'd love to know how to print borderless prints (right now I get 1/4 (8mm) boarder on the prints). I'd also love to know how to setup gimp correctly. However, these are really side issues now that I have basic functionality working. Thanks to everybody who was helpful in getting me to this point. It got me over the hump. My HP DeskJet 5850 is working great as a color printer with CUPS and my LaserJet 2200 continues to work like before. Now, all I gotta do is to figure out my OfficeJet 4200, at least the scanning portion... But that can wait until my photo printing backlog is cleared...

Re: jdk15 on 6.0
Thanks everyone for the tips. I'm going to give the package route a shot, as the additional swap space just isn't cutting it.

This is what I did when I installed JDK 1.5 on our BSD boxes. It sounds like, with so little physical RAM, that the JVM is only allocating a very small percentage of that to the JVM that starts up when the build gets bootstrapped. The jvmg probably needs to be manually set using an -Xms/-Xmx value that will give it enough room to work with. To the JVM, swap space isn't the same as physical RAM. I have had problems running java applications that have to swap. With Java, physical RAM is crucial. If you could even put at least 512MB in that box just for the build, then take it out to run it, you would probably succeed. Barring that, you're next best bet is probably going to be building it on another box, then doing a pkg_add. -- Thanks!

SIGCHLD and sockets
I am having a problem with SIGCHLD signals and their interaction with sockets. I have an application that forks modules in separate processes and use UNIX domain sockets for communication. The main application handles the SIGCHLD signal so that it can detect when/if a module crashes and if so restart that specific module. The problem arises when the module crashes and before the main application is notified with the SIGCHLD signal the socket will continue to allow writes. I expected that there would be occasions when the SIGCHLD signal would occur after my attempt to write into the socket, but I also expected the socket to return an error at which point I could then mark the module for restart as well. My question is, has anybody else had this problem? Does anybody know exactly what is going on an why? And most importantly, does anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance for your time, it is quite an interesting problem so I am hoping to get some insightful answers.

C Program to execute programs in same console
Hi! I've come into an interesting problem I've been trying to figure out. For no other reason than my own interest, I've been trying to get a c program to execute other programs in the current console I am in (using kde if that helps). I tried using system() and execvp() calls to try and execute a cd command in my current shell, which of course, didn't work. It seems to open up a new shell, then execute the command, and then exit that new shell it had opened. So, my question is how can I get it to execute a cd in the current shell using c code. You don't have to give me the code, just give me a term to search for or a function to look up. I'm sure someone knows how to do it here! Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Firefox 1.5 getting downright irritating

I use Fluxbox and am experiencing exactly the same problem.and yes it is very irritating. If I get anywhere with it I will let post to the list. Or maybe it's Gnome. I'm playing around with Firefox tonight from home, and each time it starts up it asks me if I want to make it the default browser. When I click on Yes, I get this in the terminal window I launched Firefox from: (Gecko:31267): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Deprecated function.

Re: Best way to print photos
On Monday 03 April 2006 12:27, M. Warner Losh wrote: OK. I got bordered photo printing working. I haven't gotten borderless printing working, alas. The key points I learned: (1) Install print/cups. (2) Install graphics/hpijs. This filters .ps - goo the printer groks (3) Install graphics/gimp.This makes .ps files (4) Kill lpr/lpd before starting cups. (5) Make sure you configure lpr/lpd not to startup on boot (6) Remove lp* binaries (7) Setup buildworld /etc/make.conf so it doesn't build lpr with NO_LPR or WITHOUT_LPR (8) Add printer via localhost:631 web interface. (8) Set printer to draft mode via cups for testing (9) Use firefox to generate test prints. (10) To print from gimp, I have to remove the '-l' from the command line every time I print in the printer setup. This causes the raw .ps file to go to the printer, rather than via cups' postscript filter for the printer. (11) To get photos, one must set photo quality via cups setup interface. For someone who has just been struggling with CUPS this is helpful. Would you mind elaborating the steps on how to accomplish 5, 6 and 7 above? I've got most everything working, now I'd like to switch to the CUPs lp commands. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
