The problem reports database (accessible over the web at http://www.freebsd.org/prstats/index.html) can always use a good looking-over. Some reports are outdated and just need to be closed; some have a working patch included but have fallen through the cracks; and depending on your interests and level of coding ability, some could be relatively easy to fix. Do some work, make some noise, and express your interests and then whoever wants you as a minion will be more likely to find you. Whether or not coding is your forte, you can support the project in other ways as well. FreeBSD has great documentation, but it can always be improved or added to. I tend to proofread everything I read, so I've sent in a couple "bug" reports about manpage typos. I've been pleasantly surprised at both the promptness with which they were addressed and the gratitude expressed for my filing the reports. Evangelism and peer support are other great things you can do. Educate people at your school about FreeBSD and suggest ways that using FreeBSD might improve a lab/program/service. Answer questions on the -questions mailing list and/or the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup. FreeBSD is a great platform with an even greater user/developer community, so letting people know about it is always a good thing. Just a few ideas from my own experience... :) JN To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Got rid of anything this ancient years ago, but I'd suggest checking with the local university to see if they keep surplus electronics onhand. I know that my employer here in the states. Vanderbilt University, keeps a rather large warehouse of surplused electronics equipment because it's illegal for them to dispose of it in landfills and their waste disposal contractor would cancel their contract if they did. These types of facilities are a goldmine for finding old, obscure equipment. I've heard of numerous professors scrounging complete test apparatus out of that warehouse. Brandon D.

jail with multiple IPs (patch)
Hi, folks,
I recently became interested in the jail code and have been very
impressed with what I have seen so far. The one thing I found a
bit surprising was the lack of support for multiple IP addresses
in jail environments. I did some research into the issue, and I
found the various posts discussing why this decision was made.
While a ``true'' multiple IP address implementation (INADDR_ANY,
loopback, etc.) may be rather involved, getting more than one IP
address into the jailed environment might be much simpler. Here
is my proposal:
Rather than specifying a single IP address when constructing the
jail, supply an IP address and netmask. The kernel can then use
the IP address in conjunction with the netmask to determine what
range of addresses are allowed in the jail without having to run
through an actual list of addresses.
This approach is similar to how ISPs assign CIDR blocks to their
customers. It has various advantages and disadvantages over the
method of providing a list of allowed addresses. I consider its
primary advantage to be that it is extremely simple to implement
(as can be seen by the attached diff) and does not affect jail's
runtime performance.
Granted, this method does not solve the INADDR_ANY and localhost
issues, but any solution to that side of the jail puzzle is sure
to be an invasive one.
The attached diff is based on 4.6-RELEASE. To use it, build and
install the jail binary and a new kernel. By default, this diff
results in a jail binary that acts the same as before. Adding a
``/ne.tm.as.k'' to the jail call will allow the jail to allocate
any of the IP addresses in the netmask. For example..
jail /home/jail myhost 10.20.30.8/255.255.255.248 /bin/sh
..would allow the jail to use all of the following addresses..
10.20.30.8
10.20.30.9
10.20.30.10
10.20.30.11
10.20.30.12
10.20.30.13
10.20.30.14
10.20.30.15
INADDR_ANY and 127.0.0.1 still use the first address. I changed
jail's version number (from 0 to 1) as this affects the syscall.
I look forward to your comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc.
Thank you for your time!
Michael Alyn Miller

You could cross-reference the interfaces returned by getifaddrs() with the list of PCI devices from the PCIOCGETCONF ioctl.

Couple of issues with TGIF and HylaFax
Hi all,
I just installed HylaFax on our FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE machine.
Couple of small issues.
First with regards to TGIF (in particular netpbm).
1) I created a fax cover sheet/page using the TGIF program.
First problem with this is that the netpbm port that is required to
properly install TGIF is apparently not functioning.
make runs fine, but I get the following error when I try to do a make
install in /usr/ports/graphics/tgif
spxdev:root# make install
===> Installing for tgif-4.1.41
===> tgif-4.1.41 depends on executable: giftopnm - not
found
===> Verifying install for giftopnm in
/usr/ports/graphics/netpbm
===> Extracting for netpbm-9.24
>> Checksum mismatch for netpbm-9.24.tgz.
Make sure the Makefile and distinfo file
(/usr/ports/graphics/netpbm/distinfo)
are up to date. If you are absolutely sure you want to override
this
check, type "make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args]".
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm.
*** Error code 1
spxdev:root#
Commenting out the
RUN_DEPENDS=
giftopnm:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/netpbm
line in Makefile allows tgif to be installed fine, with the exception
that I can not import gif/jpg/png graphics.
2) The HylaFax problem I have is that the to-company and regarding
fields to not appear on my cover page.
I'm calling sendfax with the following example:
sendfax -d"name@faxnumber" -x "company name" -r
"subject/regarding" filename
The fax sends fine, and uses my default cover page,
but the Company: and Re: fields are blank as if sendfax didn't pass
the variables at all.
I decided to try the default cover page (Silicon Graphics logo and
all)... And noticed that the
Company and Re: fields are blank there as well. So it would appear
that there's a bug in HylaFax for FreeBSD.
I have tried this on a Linux box and it works fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and has perhaps a fix
for it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Hi, I want to use mmap as a means of doing IPC between unrelated processes. I do *not* want the data to hit the disk. So this is what I do :- fd = open(file, O_RDWR); p = mmap(fd, MAP_NOSYNC | MAP_SHARED); mlock(p, len); /* Whack around with shmem */ Now my question is , once I have wired the shared memory region, is it possible that the data still hits the disk ?

The problem with FreeBSD
Okay, this is not really intended as a flame, but kinda necessary, given the current situation in the FreeBSD camp. Let's see, some weeks ago a couple of people dropped their ports maintainership, why did this happen? Sergey dropped his ports because David O'Brien is an asshole. Yes, no news, we all know that. Asmodai resigned some days ago, why? Because fucking Bill Fumerola is a royal asshole. Has fucking Bill Fumerola ever done any worthwhile work for FreeBSD? NO. He prefers to spend his time flaming other people. FUCK YOU FUMEROLA! Jordan Hubbard left, Mike Smith left. Why? Because a large number of the people involved in FreeBSD are either assholes or hypocrites. What's the prefered game in #bsdcode? Right, flaming Terry Lambert. Terry may not be perfect, but he has *never* insulted anyone, he's a nice person to talk to, and pretty often comes up with nice ideas. I'm talking to you, fucking Hiten Pandya, damned asshole. And I'm talking to you, stupid Alfred Perlstein. Alfred is an interesting person. He seems to be drunk most of the time, has never contributed anything important to the project, yet he likes to flame around all the time. Matthew Dillon is one of the few hackers worth his salt, what does he get in return? A 5 day commit bit suspension. Matt, please, join NetBSD, they need help in the SMP code, and leave all these hypocrites alone. David O'Brien -> good hacker but a total asshole Dag-Erling Smorgrav -> a total asshole Alfred Perlstein -> drunktard and hypocrite Bill Fumerola -> The überasshole, FUCK FUMEROLA Kris Kennaway -> Hyprocrite Hiten Pandya -> an IMBECILE, grow up fucking moron You all owe Terry Lambert an apology, stupid hypocrites.
