I was once involved running one of our library application in so
called 'library buses' which are connected via GPRS and Internet
to the central library and the readers of the library could borrow
books in the bus at dedicated stations of the tour. Borrowing and
book return was made directly in the central database (just for 
background). The personal in the bus is a mix of driver and librarian
without deep system knowhow and so we had the same problem to solve:
just powering-off the system before going to next station :-)

I tested a self-mastered Knopix-CD, ie enhanced the Knopix-CD with
our look&feel and application clients, and so you had a read-only
and for ever booting system.

Don't know (and I'm to lazy to Google) if there is a FreeBSD live-CD
project, sure it has to be...

Of course, you have to configure 'fetchmail' (normaly done
in a file ~/.fetchmailrc) for fetching and sendmail for
outgoing mail; in the M4-based rules files to generate the
sendmail's submit.cf you may use something like

define(`SMART_HOST', `[smtp.myispmailserver.net]')dnl

to put all outbound mail to your ISP.

Hi Yuan,

The problem of -lpthread is still there and again I've just added
it to 'LIBS' in the Makefile:

LIBS = -Wl,-export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ljpeg  -L/usr/X11R
6/lib -lpthread

Now the 'make install' does not complain anymore:

# make install
...
===>   Running ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
===>   Registering installation for kdesvn-0.8.1

But the kdesvn itself does not work. I've checked it with 'truss'
and it is some how missing its shared object libkdesvnpart.la and
libkdesvnpart.so. The libkdesvnpart.so gets installed in
/usr/local/lib/kde3/libkdesvnpart.so while the libkdesvnpart.la
is not installed at all. Launching kdesvn with truss shows where
it is missing the files:

$ truss -o /tmp/kdesvn.tr kdesvn
KCrash: Application 'kdesvn' crashing...
$ fgrep libkdesvnpart /tmp/kdesvn.tr
access("/home/guru/.kde/lib/kde3/libkdesvnpart.la",4) ERR#2 'No such file or

access("/usr/local/lib/libkdesvnpart.la",4)  ERR#2 'No such file or

$ 

I have copied the libkdesvnpart.la and libkdesvnpart.so to
/usr/local/lib/ by hand and then kdesvn starts fine:

$ truss -o /tmp/kdesvn.tr kdesvn

I've fetched the port into 6.0-REL...  There is during linking some how
the -lpthread missing:

I've added it to 'LIBS' in the Makefile (which of course is dirty) but
then it linked.

The anderlying problem is that we are three companies, now connected
through VPN tunnels. Each company runs it's own DNS server internaly and
without publicating all its names to Internet. The three DNS are
10.0.1.201 (mine one), xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. 

Any idea? Yes, in the future we will unify the whole zone, but this is
not a short term option...

Yes, you're right. It is said in (...) that the fall down only works

/etc/resolv.conf with 3 nameservers

2006-04-10 Thread guru 

Hi,

The man page of resolv.conf claims:

 The different configuration options are:

 nameserver  Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the
 resolver should query.  Up to MAXNS (currently 3) name
 servers may be listed, one per keyword

I've three DNS server in my /etc/resolv.conf in 6.0-REL:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain Sisis.de
nameserver 10.0.1.201
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

But only the 1st one (10.0.1.201) is contacted to make the name lookup
(I've checked this with trussing a 'ping whatever.domain.com') and if
it does not know the addr, while the second one would know it, it does
not resolve.

Do I miss something?
Thx

This is not a question of telling the application to use certain
interface, xl0 or tun0. You will direct this application to some
remote IP addr and the routing table defines the interface to be used.

Have a look at 'netstat -rn' and add more routings if necesary.

The fwtk2.1 stops building in 'auth' on 6.0-REL with:

$ make
...
cc -g -o authsrv authsrv.o proto.o db.o pass.o srvio.o  ../libauth.a 
../libfwall.a 
pass.o(.text+0x64): In function `passverify':

pass.o(.text+0x129): In function `passset':
/usr/home/guru/sysSrc/fwtk/fwtk/auth/pass.c:70: undefined reference to `crypt'
*** Error code 1

but you don't need the 'authsrv'; just go over to

$ cd plug-gw
$ make
cc -I.. -g  -c plug-gw.c
cc -g -o plug-gw plug-gw.o ../libfwall.a 
chmod 755 plug-gw
$

or fix the problem with 'crypt' :-)

There is one of the oldest firewall toolkits, the TIS' FWTK,

http://www.fwtk.org/main.html

it has some so called 'plug-gw', writte in C, which does exactly what
you want, excepting TCP on one address:port and directing it
transparently to some other address:port (like the woman in the old
POTS did with the cable); you can (and I did it for testing purposes
as well) easy expand it to collect the data to some file, for example.

XML editor with context-sensitive entry-helpers

2006-03-31 Thread guru 

Hi,

Is there any (free) XML editor which could be used in FreeBSD and
which has especially the feature of 'context-sensitive entry-helpers'
like Altova's XMLSpy has? Thx in advance

Pues, lanza la herramienta 'xev', dale el focus y comprueba si
la teclas al macar y al saltar producen eventos.

You may launch 'xev' and check if the key on stroke and release
are producing X-events.

Hello,

Just to record this and maybe for the help of others looking for
the same in the future:

I followed the hints about 'vnc2swf' and installed from the ports:

/usr/ports/net/tightvnc
/usr/ports/net/vnc2swf

There is nearly nothing todo or to configure, just do (if you
want to have all on one system):

- launch your desktop (mine is KDE)
- create some other user which session you later want to capture
- open a xterm and 'su' to that user: 'su - joana'
- as 'joana' start now the VNC X-Server:

  $ vncserver :1

  it will ask your for a password  which is later used to connect to this
  X-Server and which is stored forever in a file;

- but for now kill the VNC X-Server again with:

  $ vncserver -kill :1

- in the HOME of 'joana' you now have the file /home/joana/.vnc/xstartup
  which was created by the 1st launch of 'vncserver' and which you want
  to modify the same way like any .xinitrc file, mine says:

  $ cat /home/joana/.vnc/xstartup
  #!/bin/sh
  exec startkde

- boot up the VNC X-Server again which now comes up with KDE desktop
  as well (per default it comes up with 'twm' and 'xterm' which does
  not look so nice :-))

- from your own KDE (or whatever) connect to 'joana' desktop with

  $ vnc2swf joana.swf :1

  type in the password stored with the VNC X-Server and you will get
  'joana' desktop in a big window on your desktop; the tool 'vnc2swf'
  acts like a normal VNC viewer, but pressing key F9 will start the
  capturing into the file 'joana.swf'

move it later over to a webspace and play it with your browser Konqueror,
Firefox or whatever...

really nice tool!

I've looked around in the faq's and forums and they all have that
problem. They only hints are:
- compile ffmpeg with -O5 (per default it is -O2); this does not
  helped much;
- lower the screen size
- lower the bits per pixel to 8
- lower the frames per second
someone claimed that it should work fine with 1024x768, 8bpp, 10fps;
when I have more time I will try 8bpp too;

Here is a small 'how-to' I wrote while adding CUPS-controlled printers
to the Windows XP which runs in Qemu on top of FreeBSD with Samba.
Hope it helps you out.

$Id: cups-samba.txt,v 1.3 2006/02/22 07:31:23 guru Exp $


This is how to use the CUPS system from a Windows (XP) box over
Samba. The goal is not to have to install the printers and it's drivers
on any XP box, rather using what Samba know from CUPS about them and
their drivers which are stored (central) in Samba's share.

Install /usr/ports/print/cups-samba and follow the guide of the
postinstall instructions.

MANUAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
==

To complete the installation of print/cups-samba, do in order:

CUPS-BASE
---

1) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types
2) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.convs
3) Make sure in /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf that the Samba server is
   allowed to use the CUPS server at all;
4) Restart cupsd

SAMBA
---

1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
   lines (see 'man cupsaddsmb' for more info):

[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups

2) edit the [printers] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
   lines:

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root

3) edit the [print$] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
   lines (the 'path' must be this exactly):

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/printer
browseable = yes
# guest ok = yes works too
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root

4) restart Samba


NOTE:  Samba needs to know about the passwords for printer admin and
write list or authentication will fail. Set them with 'smbpasswd -a root'


CUPS-LPR
--

Now comes the tricky part.

Put the following files somehow (i.e. stolen from another XP box)
to /usr/local/share/cups/drivers

# ls -l
total 1996
-rw-r--r--  1 rootwheel134144 21 feb 13:30 ps5ui.dll
-rw-r--r--  1 rootwheel 25113 21 feb 13:30 pscript.hlp
-rw-r--r--  1 rootwheel792644 21 feb 13:30 pscript.ntf
-rw-r--r--  1 rootwheel464384 21 feb 13:30 pscript5.dll

The 'cupsaddsmb' need them exactly(!) with these names, make sure
that they are no with capital letters after having copied them from
a Windows box. Watch also what 'cupsaddsmb ... -v ...' says about them
below.


Run cupsaddsmb

If only a subset of your printers will be installed as exportable to
MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:

# cupsaddsmb -U root ps casa color ...

To export all printers to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:

# cupsaddsmb -U root -a

In either case, you will be prompted for the root password.

Use the flag '-v' to watch what's going on. The 'cupsaddsmb'
should create the needed driver structure below /usr/local/samba/printer
(this is the entry in smb.conf) and it should look like this

# cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -v ps
Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: 
Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%XXX' -c 'mkdir 
W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/43fb082709744 W32X86/ps.ppd;put 
/usr/local/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put 
/usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp W32X

Thanks for all hints. I gave xvidcap (from the ports) a try and in
general it is able to capture the desktop and make a mpeg (...) movie
on the fly. But even for capturing 800x600 with only 5 frames per
second it runs in 'missing frames' sometimes and my notebook is 
*very* fast. :-((

capturing a desktop demonstration as a movie

2006-02-28 Thread guru 

Hi,

Is there somehow a tool (in the ports) to capture a (KDE-) desktop of
FreeBSD while doing a presentation of some kind of software to create
a movie of this, for example as a *.avi file?

I've looked through /usr/ports/multimedia but did not see any tool
which could do this.

Thx

Thanks for the hint but I don't belong to the 3 groups of persons
mentioned in chapter '21.2.1.2 Who Needs FreeBSD-CURRENT' :-)
I can't put CURRENT on my notebook and lock me out of the world
if is does not boot anymore. I only wanted to test a small piece
of the ports collection.

So what. I've fetched the source tree of xmule-1.10.1.rar which
compiles fine on 6.0-REL with just './configure ; gmake install'

works fine to connect with Psi, register and chatting; I'm

there are also in the ports some older jabberd (1.4) and some

Can someone give me a light on this? Thx.

Did you load the kernel module:

# kldload if_iwi

and don't forget wlan_wep.ko if you want to use WEP

When I moved from 5.4-REL to 6.0-REL I took my 4 GByte disk file
for qemu with me having a W2k in it; the W2k starts fine on 6.0-REL's
qemu but some Windows apps are crashing, for example OutLook complains
about a wrong MAPI32.DLL; I went back to the 5.4-REL box, there the
OutLook runs fine; shutdown W2k, copied over the disk image to 6.0-REL
again and OutLook crashes; this is with 0.7.0s.20050717 and with 0.8.0;

does W2k has somehow an information about the old host system and notes
the shift?

Would any freebsd guys be interested in the concept of
an HTML interface for kernel configuration - the demo
is
below. It could be modified to config the freebsd
kernel
for building - the tarball below is a proof of concept
program that is currently written for Linux:

Fwd: 6.0-REL && java && panics

2006-01-05 Thread guru 

Hi,

I've sent the attached msg to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with no luck,
maybe it is more a system problem and not only Java related?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: 6.0-REL && java && panics


Hi,

I recently switched from 5.4-REL to 6.0-REL on a new notebook
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detail&laptop=859
and all went fine; the nearly only thing to solve are some PANIC's
from time to time (not always) when I launch some application written
in Java, and originally for Linux and not for FreeBSD; the application
is the official dictionary of the Real Academía Española and brings
it's own Java engine with it; there is a foreground engine, called
'lanza' (English: starter) which is a normal a.out:

/usr/local/DRAE/lanza: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

this itself starts the dictionary as a Java application and establishes
a socket to receive Spanish words, send them over to the Java application
which display them in a X11 window; it seems that it launches many
threats for this:

$ ps -ax | fgrep java
31052  ??  I  0:01,25 [java]
31075  ??  S  0:00,04 [java]
31076  ??  S  0:01,74 [java]
31077  ??  S  0:04,91 [java]
31078  ??  S  0:08,44 [java]
31079  ??  S  0:13,52 [java]
31080  ??  I  0:00,00 [java]
31081  ??  I  0:00,00 [java]
31082  ??  I  0:00,09 [java]
31087  ??  I  0:00,20 [java]
31088  ??  I  0:00,02 [java]
31089  ??  S  0:00,86 [java]
31093  ??  I  0:00,00 [java]
31094  ??  S  0:52,19 [java]
31095  ??  I  0:00,01 [java]
31096  ??  I  0:00,00 [java]
34291  p5  R+ 0:00,00 fgrep java

and all of them have nearly the same opened files like the lsof example
I'm attaching below; so a Java expert will see what kind of Java engine
it is; a strings in /usr/local/DRAE/jrelinux/bin/i386/native_threads/java
shows that it is the version 'Blackdown-1.3.1-02b-FCS'

as I said, sometimes the launch of this crashes the system, not often
but it sucks; on the older notebook with 5.4-REL it was not so often
and I lived with it; btw: that an application crashes sometimes is normal
(should not, but it happens with our software as well), but that it
PANICs the system is not normal...

What can I do? Thx for an idea

matthias

PS: If someone wants to have a look into the software, I could provide
the iso image of the CD;

Interestingly it only happens with Mplayer but not with ogle; before
yesterday I could not use ogle because the one from the ports collection
has a bug and only played the sound, but dark screen; yesterday I got
the hint to compile ogle from the CVS and now it works too; I was
surprised that ogle play the same DVD fine, while Mplayer with these

its a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E8020 with 2.13 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM,

at 7 a clock in the evening last year I launched the 'make install'
in /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and when I came in in the morning of this year at
around 8 o'clock the notebook received me with the root shell prompt
saying that the registering of kde3 was done; all without any PANIC
and without this clash between neon and subversion which encountered
the last time; so this must have been the result of some of the
PANIC last Friday when I was already playing around with the sound
driver and with kqemu while the make of KDE was still under progress;

since 6 hours I'm now scp'ing my HOME from the old notebook to the
new, all without PANIC so far; falta poco, unos 3 giga; I'm already
writing the message from the new notebook;

later I will test the sound driver and will see what I can do with qemu;
yesterday I also gave 6.0-STABLE a short test (I fetched the snapshot
of December) but trying to compile a the newer port of qemu wanted me
to fetch a lot newer distfiles and I could not do that from here at home;

Espero que hayas disfrutado tu música latina por la noche;

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/qemu

I deinstalled ports/www/neon/ and installed it again; now it placed
the header files and the ports/devel/subversion went fine; I don't
know why it did not automatically in the process started by 'make install'
in ports/x11/kde :-((

I had one or two PANIC's during the makes and while I was copying over
my homeland from the older notebook, maybe the later fsck removed
the just installed header files;

with the PANIC's I still have to work out, what's going on; I can
now reproduce them by:

- booting into normal runlevel
- login as root and than
  # kldload kqemu 
  # kldstat
  # su - user --> PANIC

Any hints on that?

6.0-REL && ports/devel/subversion

2005-12-30 Thread guru 

Hi,

the ports compilation of subversion-1.2.1 failes with:

subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/commit.c:32:23: ne_socket.h: No such file or directory
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/commit.c:33:24: ne_request.h: No such file or directory
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/commit.c:34:22: ne_props.h: No such file or directory
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/commit.c:35:22: ne_basic.h: No such file or directory


it seems that the missing header files are part of
ports/www/neon/ but don't get installed;

what is the right way to fix this?
Thx

Now you're close to my point :-)

In the company, where I'm at the moment, I've an uplink to Internet
of 2 mb, at home I've 64 kbit; so my idea was to fetch, lets say
4 CD at high speed, burn them and use them at home for the needed
disfiles; it seems that this would be a good idea to place somewhere
a start collection of the disfiles matching exactly the versions
which will be fetched by the ports, at least for the the most common
parts of the ports collection, don't you think so?

some wweks ago I was in Havana giving talks about FreeBSD and
after that I let my 5.4-REL disfiles there in some central servers
so that the folks can setup a 5.4-REL desktop system with KDE and
so on, and without needing access to Internet...

Thx

Yes, that's the reason and that was what I discovered a few seconds
after fireing up 'make install' in /usr/ports/x11/kde;

to give one example: it is building KDE 3.4.2 and not 3.4.0 which was
used by 5.4-REL;

My point was that I don't have a fast Internet link at home to fetch all
the (new) sources for the distfiles and I was looking for distfiles on
CD which match exactly the 6.0-REL ports collection requirements;

I know.

That's not true. I copied over the /usr/ports/distfiles from my
5.4-REL to the 6.0-REL but the ports-collection which comes with
6.0-REL will use other sources while doing 'make install' in
/usr/ports/x11/kde:

5.4-REL:

$ ls -lutr libtoo*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2699923 29 dic 13:17 libtool-1.5.10.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   538884 29 dic 13:18 libtool-1.3.5.tar.gz
$ cd KDE
$ ls -lutr kdeba*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  22670772 29 dic 13:18 kdebase-3.4.0.tar.bz2

6.0-REL:

$ ls -lutr libtoo*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2699923 Dec 29 13:17 libtool-1.5.10.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2780846 Dec 29 13:28 libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz

That's exactly what I did before: reading chap. "4.5.2.1 Installing Ports
from a CD-ROM" and so I know what I do and what I'm asking for (it's
not the 1st FreeBSD installation);

that was the second step looking around below
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.0
(and other places) but I only see the isos for CD1, CD2 and CD-bootonly,
but not the ports;

Pls. be so kind and send me the correct URL. Thx

I'm installing a brand new notebook and have to do it with 6.0-REL

the 5.4-REL which I have on the older notebook; is there somehow
a place to download isos of the distfiles? I know that I could buy

Yes, I know strace for a long of time from Linux and was always
happy about it because it has better features than truss of SVR4
and FreeBSD; I did not know that it was ported to FreeBSD as well;

now I've installed it on my 5.4-REL and there is a small bug
which is fixed already, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=62377

without that small patch strace hangs if you fire it up
with the command on the commandline like:

$ strace date

I use a small script:

xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 =  n N ntilde Ntilde"

xmodmap -e "keycode 0x14 =  questiondown question backslash ssharp"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x0a =  1 exclam exclamdown onesuperior"
xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = less greater guillemotleft guillemotright bar 
brokenbar"

and this gives me the spanish chars by pressing, for example,
the WindowsKey + n ---> ñ (n with tilde);

high CPU activity for interrupts

2005-11-14 Thread guru 

Hello,

>From time to time I see an increasing temperature of the CPU of
my laptop and figured out that this has to do with a high load
of the CPU for 'interrupts' while the system itself is nearly
unused (only KDE with a few windows are up):

top(1) shows it like this:

CPU states:  0.8% user,  0.0% nice,  0.4% system, 22.9% interrupt, 76.0% idle

What could I do to figure out what's going on?

BTW: Some times ago I've asked for a small desktop gadget for showing
the CPU temperature; I wrote it like this:

$ xterm -geometry 8x1 -e '/home/guru/termal.sh'
$ cat termal.sh 
#!/bin/sh
#
while true; do
clear
printf "%s %s " `sysctl -a | fgrep tempe | sed 's/^.*: //'`
sleep 15
done

I set the window properties to not having borders and it stays
there relaunched all the time by KDE again (you may see it here:
http://www.sisis.de/~guru/temp.jpg to get the idea).

5.4-REL && RBL of SpamAssassin 3.0.2

2005-11-02 Thread guru 

Hello,

Somehow the RBL tests of SpamAssassin 3.0.2 from the ports collection
are not working and I don't understand why after hours of debugging :-(( 

the DNS itself is ok:

Nov  2 14:54:35 spamd[11272]: debug: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes
Nov  2 14:54:35 spamd[11272]: debug: Net::DNS version: 0.48

available (set dns_available to hardcode)
Nov  2 14:54:35 spamd[11272]: debug: is DNS available? 1

and about RBL the debug log says:

Nov  2 14:54:57 spamd[11273]: debug: RBL: success for 14 of 14 queries

but nothing is mentioned of the test in the report of the
mail itself;

when I pipe the same test-SPAM through our central SpamAssassin

5.4-REL && panic before installation

2005-11-01 Thread guru 

Hello,

I tried to install 5.4-REL on a notebook which works (still) fine
with FreeBSD 2.2.6; I've to boot from floppy and when the kernel
is launched it panic's on hardware scan; I've tried all modi from
the boot-menue and put together some screen dumps with verbose
logging enabled; this could be found here if someone want's to
have a look:

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/panic/

The last picture shows the successfull boot of 2.2.6, maybe it
helps to understand which item in the hardware makes the kernel
panic...

What options do I have? Test another newer FreeBSD version? Is somehow
documented how to create own bootable floppies or how to debug a
kernel in that moment while booting from floppy? Or what can I disable
in that moment?

Thanks in advance for any help

cloning machines with 5.4-REL

2005-11-01 Thread guru 

Hello,

I've setup one notebook with 5.4-REL and used the ports collection
to pick up what I wanted (KDE and all other stuff); this took
some time, of course but run without big trouble; now I want to
setup a second notebook with the same installation and my
idea is:

- just install the base system on the 2nd notebook,
- NFS-mount the /usr/ports from the 1st
- remove all the files /usr/ports/.../work/.install_done
- and just say "make install" on the new toy

Comments?

Thx

I have in /boot/loader.conf
#
# this is required my qemu
#
kqemu_load=YES
if_tap_load=YES

and qemu must be started as 'root' to bring up the interface
with a script /etc/qemu-ifup:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1

I'm launching the VM via an icon on the desktop which itself
launches a script /home/guru/qemu/w2k/qemu.sh to make it
easy to see if qemu could boot up from some saved state or
has to boot the guest OS from scratch (normaly I save the
VM into a file 'ram', which is of course a little bit dangerous

my VM contacts the FreeBSD Samba share and printers via the

I have NAT configured ... all works very nice and so I can run

Hola Elfren,

I don't use 'ipfw' and 'natd', but we use ipfw/ipnat in our firewall and
with this the rules would be like this:

/etc/ipnat.rules:
# HTTP:
# xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the oficial IP addr on NIC 'em1'
#
rdr em1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 port 80 -> 10.0.1.202 port 80

/etc/ipf.rules:
# Allow in standard www function because I have apache server
# will be NAT routed to the webserver 10.0.1.202
#
pass in quick on em1 proto tcp from any to any port = 80   flags S keep state

Un abrazo

X-application for sending keystrokes, xse?

2005-10-11 Thread guru 

Hello,

I've some X-application (only in binary form) written in
Java which presents the official Spanish dictionary; having
it up&running it says about itself the below attached 'xprop'
output and if someone wants to see a small screen shoot it is
here: http://www.sisis.de/~guru/drae.jpg

In the small input field one can type Spanish words and the
X-application presents the page from the dictionary for the word;

my idea is to connect this to my editor 'vi' with a small
key macro to send over the actual word where the cursor is to this
application as it was typed in in the input field; like this:

map  "xywo"xp:.,.w !xsendkeys `cat` > /dev/null 2>/dev/null ; ^Mu"

Is there some 'xsendkeys' in FreeBSD which can send the keys 'hablar'
to the X-application calling

$ xsendkeys -name "Diccionario de la lengua española" hablar

Thx in advance

matthias

The interface ppp0 should appear if you start pppd; you may
try it by starting as root in one window the daemon:

# pppd

and ignore the LCP there; now issue from another window to check it:

# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500

pppd: Could not determine remote IP address

2005-10-02 Thread guru 

Hello,

With the helping hand of someone in freebsd-mobile list I've hacked
the 'uftdi' driver to support a PCMCIA card provided by Vodafone
for UMTS. The card works now as it should but the IPCP negotiating
of the pppd 2.3.11 (from ports collection) ends up in:

...
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x6 ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4b]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x4b]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x6 ]
Could not determine remote IP address
sent [IPCP TermReq id=0x7 "Could not determine remote IP address"]
rcvd [IPCP TermAck id=0x7]

I picked up another Linux driven notebook to compare it with Linux
(because I've used the same PCMCIA card in Linux for some monthes)
and it turned out that the IPCP negotiating is ending up the
same way but the Linux pppd picks up some guessed remote IP address
and just put this into the ppp0 interface and the things are fine:

rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4]
sent [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4   ]
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5   ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5   ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5]
Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64

local  IP address 10.227.222.211
remote IP address 10.64.64.64

# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0  Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
  inet addr:10.227.222.211  P-t-P:10.64.64.64  Mask:255.255.255.255
  UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
  RX bytes:100 (100.0 b)  TX bytes:139 (139.0 b)

It seems that this feature does not exist in FreeBSD's pppd or
I'm missing something else?

Thx

Matthias

1st degree verbal assault and battery hate crime at Applebees

2005-01-21 Thread PC GURU 
Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], 

Happy New Year to you.

Well, I ended 2004 by being called a "nigger" several times by a white 
terrorist in APPLEBEES on December 30.  The reason I'm posting you is to seek 
your advice as to what rights I have in a violent verbal assault,  and hate 
crime situation like this. What would you do if something this devilish had 
happened to you? 

This is the second time this has happened to me in the same Applebees. The 
first time was about five years ago when I overheard a professional person  
using the "N" word to a white woman friend of his as they sat across from me at 
the bar. 

She was telling him that she had found a new boyfriend and thought that things 
were going to work out well for her. The fellow looked at her and then said "I 
hope he's not a "nigger" I was astounded that he had said something so lowlife 
in a full club with about 20 people sitting at the bar and the rest of the 
tables nearby full as well. 

The bartender had been living with an African American male for over five years 
at the time. She looked astounded, and turned to me as if she couldn't believe 
her ears. I turned to the white people on each side of me, and asked them if 
they were going to say something to the person. They are always saying that 
they are not prejudiced. so this would have been the perfect time for some of 
them to back up their words with action.

 They did nothing! They just looked at each other in that silly "HUH Head" look 
that they utilize when they run into an idea that they had never considered 
before on the subject of race. The manager did come out and ask him to leave. 
He did so and to my knowledge he has never gone back. I have seen the fellow in 
other clubs where the clientele is more receptive to his modo di pensare. I did 
nothing official that time. This time I'm trying to determine what the best way 
to proceed would be. Here are most of the facts as to what occurred last 
Thursday, the 30th of December 2004.

I went out to Applebees here in Cape Girardeau, Missouri around 2100. I sat on 
the north end of the bar next to several young white women. One of them was 
named "VanMater" from the Buick family here. I talked to them about various 
subjects for about 30 minutes and bought them some Frangelico. They had never 
tasted it so I thought I would let them sample something different since they 
were kind enough to talk to me a 58 year young African American. Most whites 
won't.

Then they left and a friend of mine from Birmingham Alabama called me on his 
cell phone. We talked for about fifteen minutes about the state of the world 
and how savage, and inhumane so many Americans are in their thinking when it 
comes to how they view others around the world.

Out of the corner of my right eye, I notice the young blond white woman to my 
right pushing a picture of a cute bi-racial child towards me. I picked it up 
and looked at it. Then I complimented the female on having a little girl that 
was so cute. After a few more minutes of talking to my friend, I hung up and 
started talking to the young blonde white woman, her female friend next to her, 
and her Canadian boyfriend to her right.

The blonde's name was what it is. She said she was a hair stylist at a salon 
here.  I was telling them about how my cousin owned the Harlem Globetrotter 
basketball team, and how there had been a couple of streets named after my 
mothers family around here. I was basically giving them a quick history on some 
black folks who were highly respected in this area.

After about twenty minutes or so this 40ish white ball cap wearing, truck 
driver looking white fellow across the bar asked me when we had graduated from 
high school. I told him when I had graduated, and then N told him when she 
graduated. The white supremacist then said "One of you is right, and one of you 
is a fucking nigger"

 I picked up my cell phone and called the police as the Applebees manager was 
not on the scene. I had no idea what that piece of white trash would do next. 
After a few minutes Ed, the manager came over to the WS, and told him that he 
had to leave the club.

The fellow got up and slowly walked toward the door selling wolf tickets all 
the way. The policeman arrived and he stood in the vestibule and talked to the 
manager of Applebees. He never came over and asked me anything; nor did he 
advise me of my rights in that situation.

I'm one of the charter members of Applebees here. I have been going there since 
about six months after they opened in 1991, and I've never had a serious 
incident like this one 

So I went back to talking to the three people. Now of course we were talking 
about the white supremacist and his actions. One white 20ish female caught my 
eye, grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign. Apparently she was happy that he 
was gone.

 After about 20 minutes, another young white female stopped behind me and told 
me that the fellow was still in the parking lot in his truck.
