What branch of TV-box should I buy?
I would like to buy a TV-box to watch TV. And I found that some TV-box claims it can do the trick without turning on the PC. I am not sure if there is any kind of guild line to choose the suitable one for the FreeBSD system or all kinds of TV-box works under the Freebsd box?

The manual says: If you plan to use a FreeBSD system to serve non-FreeBSD clients that have no support for password shadowing (which is most of them), you will have to disable the password shadowing entirely by uncommenting the UNSECURE=True entry in /var/yp/Makefile. Linux certainly uses password shadowing, and I can see in my debian server maps passwd.byname and shadow.byname files If I perform ypcat passwd.byname from a client I get the standard passwd file with no passwords (exactly like /etc/passwd) The encrypted passwords are in the shadow.byname map. Now, if I understand correctly, the above solution would put the passwords in the passwd.byname map, thus making the system less secure, where in fact I should be able to make FreeBSD export a shadow.byname map that would be compatible with Linux.

After booting the first one, and requesting ALL packages and ALL ports, the installation seems to go ok until the end when it complains that it cannot find the requested package on the media from which installation is being made. Yikes! You probably filled all the available disk space. If you were to flip over to one of the other virtual consoles (Alt F1 thru F4) you would probably see a panic or other warning. First off, YOU DO NOT WANT ALL THAT STUFF! There are 18,000 or so 3rd party software packages that have been ported to FreeBSD. You can install the ones you want either as pre-compiled binaries, via packages; or configure compile them yourself via ports. For a given software package you should use packages OR ports, but not both. Also, the 3rd party software on the install CDs is usually obsolete by the time you're installing it. Don't install any of that stuff at OS installation time. Get the system up and running, then investigate how to get a current copy of the ports framework installed. Hint: look into portsnap. I'd also suggest setting up a separate file system (I use /build) for ports and operating system source at install time. This is usually /usr/ports, /usr/src, and /usr/obj. I just like to keep it in a separate fs for ease of backup and other issues; others may disagree. Questions: Do I have a complete installation? How do I install whatever is on the 2nd CD? You only need the first CD for a complete installation of FreeBSD. Load it and the full source code.

First, you must have saved a copy of the original file before you changed it; cp file file.orig Then you edit the file. Next you crate the patch; diff -u file.orig file youredits.diff Then you start the send-pr script, and import the contents of the diff file in the 'Fix' section. See the send-pr manual. Be sure to use the 'ports' category, and add the word '[PATCH]' to the begin of the desription line. Check if your e-mail address if correct, otherwise you won't receive replies and follow-ups.

The web site didn't load, yet I try again in 10 other machines to see if it was a machine issue. Lastly I try loading the size in a Windows XP machine and it works ok.

Thanks Just as an informational note, you can now get combined units that have both the ADSL and wireless together in one unit. I have one from Netopia. The unit I have also allows for multiple wireless subnets and each can have their own security, so if you have to run WEP for tivo you can do so on a separate wireless subnet. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

RE: IPv6 Display - Multiple Applications
Have you tried using -W on netstat? In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes some fields to overflow. I tested it on my own IPv6 server after establishing a connection and reproduced your behavior with the truncated IPv6 addresses; however, once I added the -W flag, it displayed the entire address.

Re: Dual Routers
Is it possible to run two routers? I have an ADSL modem 192.168.1.1 and a wireless router 192.168.2.1. The both are accessed using dhcp. I would like to be able to switch from one the the other, or have both available. Is this possible? If I understand you correctly, you could do this: Change the LAN IP of the wireless unit to 192.168.1.2. Plug the ADSL modems ethernet port to the LAN side of the wireless router. Plug your PC's into the remaining LAN ports on the wireless unit. Essentially, this turns your wireless 'router' into a bridged access point. You will have to disable DHCP on the wireless router, and let the ADSL modem hand out addresses. You will surf just fine, and you will be able to access the wireless router for maintenance at 1.2, and the ADSL modem at 1.1 Hope this is what you were after.

The screen is much brighter at the resolution is good, but the brightness is still very dingy compared to the vesa driver.

The screen is much brighter at the resolution is good, but the brightness is still very dingy compared to the vesa driver. There is nothing wrong with my CRT; on the other KVM connections (and/or) with the vesa driver at 800x600, the screen is completely bright. Is there some other ati driver yet to finish? The ati driver is for ATI chips like the Radeon. You could try playing with the gamma value of the monitor. When X is running you can use xgamma to adjust the gamma setting. You can also set this with the Gamma entry in the Monitor section of xorg.conf.

Re: syslog marking sendmail output as kernel:
I understand there isn't a problem with the first one, but then its logging the second as a kernel: entry. My syslog.conf is : *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.emerg * *.debug /var/log/spool Is there a way to stop that second entry? It keeps tripping my syslog monitoring program. What release are you running? (Show the output of uname -a) Its a 5.3 system It's just a formatting issue. Oct 16 00:00:25 valhalla sm-mta[69206]: l9G40Kf5069206: SYSERR(root): snip Oct 16 00:00:25 valhalla kernel: added newline Oct 16 00:00:25 valhalla sm-mta[69206]: l9G40Kf5069206: SYSERR(root): snip There must be somewhere in the kernel where we're writing to the syslog with an empty error string. The syslog routines expect a newline-terminated character string, so the lack of a newline causes the next entry to be on the same line as the (non-existant) kernel message. The trouble will be tracking this down. But look at it again... Oct 16 00:02:32 valhalla sm-mta[69570]: l9G42RKM069570: SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from dsl-189-133-2-240.prod-infinitum.com.mx, from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 16 00:02:32 valhalla kernel: Oct 16 00:02:32 valhalla sm-mta[69570]: l9G42RKM069570: SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from dsl-189-133-2-240.prod-infinitum.com.mx, from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] I didn't wrap the lines this time. Its the SAME message. Once normal, ONCE logged as kernel. I would believe something is KNOWINGLY outputting it twice. If it was 2 DIFFERENT messages, I could see it was completely a lack of new line issue. But why would it log the sm-mta output, then *something* part log a kernel message, THEN re-log out the sm-mta message? Ah, I didn't notice that sm-mta was logging the same message twice. Note that all syslog messages (from the kernel and user programs) are picked up by syslogd and logged. There's nothing preventing kernel and user-mode messages from getting interleaved. So assuming that sm-mta is logging the same message twice, it's perfectly viable that something from the kernel could be stuck in between the two instances from sm-mta. Regardless, I see two issues: 1) Why is the same sm-mta message getting dumped twice? 2) Why is an empty kernel message getting dumped (which screws up formatting?)
