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. To the rest of the people, jump shit now, and join NetBSD while you can.

My favorite boards for this kind of thing are laptop motherboards, since they have the connections for a built in UPS, automatic software controlled power management, and the majority of the cost is in the display, with most of the rest of it being in the micro mechanicals that you don't need in an embedded system (PCMCIA slots, keyboard, tiny floppy, docking crap, speakers, microphone, expansion bays for CDROM, etc.).

mmap and MAP_NOSYNC
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 ? One would think the pager will not look at wired pages. Is that correct ? Thanks in advance. Joy __ Do You Yahoo!?

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

*** Error code 1

*** 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 -dname@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.

I could obviously exclude the easy ones ( i.e. lo, lp, faith, ... ) by looking at the name, but I am not sure how many different virtual interfaces there are ( or will be ). You could cross-reference the interfaces returned by getifaddrs() with the list of PCI devices from the PCIOCGETCONF ioctl.

I've asked my jail server provider numerous times for multiple IPs and he always said next release. By the way, can anyone recommend a good jailed server provider that is cheap (I pay $5 a month - but up to $20-$40 is good). Thanks, Hans __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: 8 floppy drive anyone ?

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.

Re: Wide Character Support
I am very interested in contributing in this area. Maybe you could point me to a starting place or person; as I have never contributed to FBSD as of yet.

Re: sbc/embedded FreeBSD friendly
In message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Danny Braniss [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: : for a lab course, we are looking for FreeBSD friendly boards, any suggestions : are welcome, We've had good luck with boards from Axiom, Teknor, Megatel, and Adastra running FreeBSD. The model numbers change with time, but the first two were in the short ISA format, while the latter two were in pc100, or variations thereof. In fact, we've found very few boards that have issues with FreeBSD. And none where the issues were promptly resolved by the vendor.

I Volunteer

I'm a student at the University of Washington and I'll be applying to the Computer Science major in February. I'd like to get involved with the OS that is serving me so well. I'll do what I can to help with whatever. Just let me know if anyone needs a minion. I could use the experience.

I'll do what I can to help with whatever. Just let me know if anyone needs a minion. I could use the experience. Probably the best thing you can do for the project is to show some initiative. 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
