You should add a backslash before each slash
that is not used as a separator for the s command.
E.g.
s/I want to substitute the \/ character/with the _ character/
s/\/\/\//three slashes/
You can also use a separator of choice for the s command.
That is:
s/foo/bar/ is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@bar@

I installed KDE 3.5 and it was working nicely until it juststopped. No obvious crash - it just froze. Had to reboot the system with the reset button as no other method was working. So I thought it might be my sound since it wasn't configured and I had read a few things that said that sometimes caused KDE to crash. Also disabled a few buggy plugins and what not and still it keeps on freezing on me. The annoying thing is its totally random - It could be running for several hours before it freezes; and sometimes it freezes the moment I log on. Its frozen at last count 7 times today and I ended up having to do a some random hardrive check as boot up was starting to fail and logging me in as single mode user only. Anyway - to get to the point; is there a log somewhere that I can check out in console mode which incidently never crashes that might help me pinpoint the problem?

foo

My motherboard is D945NT.

seemed to depend on Xorg-7.2
I successfully upgrade Xorg-6.9 to Xorg-7.2.
I also compiled beryl, everything seems to be ok.
..and I have tried to make it work, I give up.
The problem seems to be that X is
trying to find /dev/agpgart, according
to my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

I have seen beryl working on Gentoo Linux,
/dev/agpgart is present in an identical system,
and it seems to me that it is not a problem
of memory allocation.
so...
What do I have to do to create /dev/agpgart?
My kernel has
device agp
present.
Thank you in advance.

It looks to me like you don't have working dri/drm. You have to have
direct rendering working before you can get beryl working. AFAIK, drm
support for your chipset is not available in 6.1-RELEASE, and the drm
module is what provides the agpgart device.
sys/dev/drm/drm_pciids.h on 6-STABLE from about February shows this:
#define i915_PCI_IDS \
{0x8086, 0x3577, 0, Intel i830M GMCH}, \
{0x8086, 0x2562, 0, Intel i845G GMCH}, \
{0x8086, 0x3582, 0, Intel i852GM/i855GM GMCH}, \
{0x8086, 0x2572, 0, Intel i865G GMCH}, \
{0x8086, 0x2582, 0, Intel i915G}, \
{0x8086, 0x2592, 0, Intel i915GM}, \
{0x8086, 0x2772, 0, Intel i945G}, \
{0x8086, 0x27A2, 0, Intel i945GM}, \
{0, 0, 0, NULL}
So you have to have the i915 module loaded to use this chipset.
Though
the i915 driver was ported for 6.1-RELEASE there was no Makefile
included, and it never really worked until after 6.2-RELEASE.
Personally, I'm tracking 6-STABLE and I've had drm working with an
i845G
since February of this year when anholt MFC'd a load of i915 drm
changes. See this log for more info:
http://anholt.livejournal.com/34566.html
in an email on may 19th anholt indicated that there is no working
support for the 965G
Thanks for the link to anholt's journal. This doesn't affect the 945G,
though, right?
Truth is best determined by examination of reality. If your 945G is
working then I would say it is unaffected.

I tryed this : sed s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail\/nbsmtp'
= 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',/ /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
but i have this with cat /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
MAKE_ARGS = {nt'mail/nbsmtp' = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',
}
Sed and csh is strange no ? I think \n \t not supported by csh.
No, its sed. You cannot use backslash notation with
BSD sed.
nik:0:~$ sed s/foo/\t\n/
foo
tn
You can use a literal tab character, but not a literal
newline character...
How about this?
nik:0:~$ echo foo | awk '{ sub(/foo/, foo\n\tbar); print; }'
foo
bar
HTH, Nikos
Note: Using (t)csh as a part of any text manipulation operation I've
discovered is generally a bad idea. When using sed, perl, or (g)awk, I
always use (ba)sh, because (t)csh does some nasty evaluation of inline
expressions, whereas (ba)sh doesn't. Just try using an expression with
an exclamation point, for example :).
Also for most strings, I'd get in the habit of quoting with single
quotes instead of double quotes, if at all possible, because sometimes
shells and other programs evaluate double quoted arguments differently
than single quoted arguments.

Re: The FreeBSD Diary -- Is your ISP blocking port 25? Here's a Postfix solution.

The FreeBSD Diary (TM) Providing practical examples since 1998 [ HOME | TOPICS | INDEX | WEB RESOURCES | BOOKS | CONTRIBUTE | SEARCH | FEEDBACK | FAQ | FORUMS ] Is your ISP blocking port 25? Here's a Postfix solution.10 February 2006 Need more help on this topic? Click here This article has 7 comments Show me similar articles My ISP started blocking incoming port 25. It's already blocking outgoing port 25 and I'm handling that. Now it's time to start accepting incoming mail on the submission port, 587. They aren't blocking my incoming port 25. But we went through this process for another guy on our computer, so I figured that this is a good thing for which it will pay to be pro active. This solution assumes you have a mail server at home and at least one other mail server out there on the Internet, one which does not have port 25 blocked. That part is crucial to this solution. It is the external server[s] that will accept incoming mail and forward it to you. In DNS terms, your MX records will not point to your home server, but to your public server. Your home mail server I started by adding the following line to /usr/local/etc/postfix/ master.cf on my Postfix mail server at home: 10.34.0.1:587 inet n - n - - smtpd where 10.34.0.1 is the public IP address of my mail server [no, that's not really my IP address]. This instructs Postfix to listen on that IP address on port 587. This is known as the submission port: $ grep 587 /etc/services submission 587/tcp submission 587/udp Your public mail server Then I added this to /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf on my public mail server: transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix-config/transport This tells Postfix to observe the transport directives in the above mentioned file. You can put the file whereever you want. I like to keep it in that directory, which you'll probably have to create because it's not part of the standard system. In /usr/local/etc/ postfix-config/transport I have: myserver.example.orgsmtp:[myserver.example.org]:587 Where myserver.example.org is the hostname of my mail server at home. You need to create a .db file to go with that. I issued these commands: cd /usr/local/etc/postfix-config postmap transport You should now see a transport.db file. After making these changes you should restart postfix: postix restart Testing Then I sent a test message from the public mail server $ echo 'test' | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I confirmed that it was coming in on port 587 with this command on my mail server at home: tcpdump -i fxp0 port 587 Where fxp0 is the outside NIC on my firewall (the one with IP 10.34.0.1) as shown above. Then, on the public mail server, I requeued all the messages, so they'd use the right transport: postsuper -r ALL It's magic! All the messages were delivered to the right spot. Controlling access I control access to port 587 on my mail server. I have firewall rules in place that allow connections only from my home server. I think there are no security risks involved in keeping it open, but I see no reason to give access where no access is required. What about the other way around? If you need to handle outgoing port 25 to avoid ISP blocks, you can always the same instructions, but in the reverse direction. It should just work. Like the website? Want to give back?

BPF and buffering
Hi, I'd like to write a specific BPF filter in order to read all packets ( before routing them ) on a network interface and buffering them in order to process them and after routing them if I decide that they are correct. But I don't know how to intercept them ( then they are not processed immediatly by the kernel ) in order to buffering them before giving them back to the kernel. Can you show me example, tutorials or documentation.

Upgrading x.org to 7.2 (to make other ports happy)
Hi, Ok, last night I sit down to continue installing software on that web server I mentioned a couple of days ago. By the way, the culprit was definitely heat. Last night, I successfully recompiled the GENERIC kernel for 6.2p5 without a hitch, and the day before I successfully completed the buildworld. Continuing on, after getting the system caught up, I updated my ports tree using csup and proceeded to portupgrade all installed ports (only about 5 at this time). However, X.org is among them. So, the portupgrade program is doing its thing I figure since it took a little over an hour to compile all of X before, I was going to do other things and so left the box to its own devices. I come back a little later to find that I've got to update X.org according /usr/ports/UPDATING. I open this file and read up on what it says. In there it says I need to run a script called xorg-upgrade however, this script does not exist on this box. I just finished a search on www.x.org for xorg-upgrade with no results. So, where am I supposed to get this script? The UPDATING file doesn't mention that.

I was assuming that the script xorg-upgrade was something separate because other instructions in there said to be sure to use a filesystem with lots of space. I was thinking that the script program was some sort of program that would capture the output of the program so that developers could see it or something like that. Bogus assumption because I'm not at all familiar with script. Thanks for setting me straight.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

OK - I'm fairly clueless on this...
This is very strange - I can't get traceroute to work as I expect. Forgive me if I'm being stupid as well as blind, but perusing the man page for traceroute brings no joy.

I've got several FreeBSD boxes scattered at various points through our network. After checking them, the ones that I had trouble with are those that are in the same subnet as our two firewalls. Doing a traceroute from the others worked just fine. However, 'arp -a' on the affected FreeBSD boxes (those in the subnet with the Watchguards) didn't reveal anything interesting. So, the Watchguards were doing *something*. OTOH, running tracert (the Windows version of traceroute) from a box on that same subnet worked just fine - that is, I get a full list of hops, etc. This is where the light started to shine.. I tried 'traceroute -P udp' and 'traceroute -P tcp', with no difference - that is, the machines in the same subnet got a single line back. However, if I specified 'tracert -I' (capital i - which means use ICMP) I get the output I expect from a traceroute command. As mentioned above, however, arp -a reveals no duplicates. Windows uses ICMP for its traceroutes, FreeBSD doesn't, by default, though it can. So, I took a look at my traceroute filter on the firewall, and found, finally, that it wasn't allowed from the subnet where my problem children were. I adjusted the filter on the firewall, and all is now happy. Thanks for your help, Chuck - it made the difference I needed to figure this out.
