urgent assistance
FROM RITA UJU MANI ABIDJAN , COTE D´IVOIRE Dear sir, It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I can not be able to see you face to face at first. Being the only WIFE of late Mr. Christ Pack Uju Mani from ZULU in Republic of South Africa. My HUSBAND was a limited liability cocoa and gold merchant in South Africa before his untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire, to negotiate on a cocoa business. A week after he cane back from Abidjan, he was assassinated by unknown assassins. but my HUSBAND died after five days in hospital, on that faithful afternoon. I didn´t know that my HUSBAND was going to leave me . before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He my HUSBAND, (may his soul rest in perfect peace) he disclose to me that he deposited and the sum of $18.500.000.00 US dollars(Eigteen million Five hundred thousand dollars) in Security Company here in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire . That the money was meant for his cocoa business he wanted to invest in Abidjan - Cote d´Ivoire. Though, according to my HUSBAND he deposited the money in a trunk box, but declared it as Ivory, and family belonging. He single handed me the key of the box and the Deposit Certificate, and instructed me to seek for a life time investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire and also confirmed the item with most honest and confidentiality . Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money out from Abidjan to your account abroad so that we should invest it in any lucrative business in your country. Because this is my only hope in life. Now, I am here with my only son john . Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable, please kindly contact me through e-mail address immediately for more discussion. Please don´t hesitate to send me message on the receipt of this mail. Thanks for your kind attention and mutual understanding . Best regards RITA UJU MANI To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Framebuffer howto?
Hi, I am not on the list, and am new to BSD, just graduated from Linux :) I wanted to port my OS (http://tisya.co.in/) to get away from Linux completely... For the same, the only hinderance lies in using framebuffer. Our GUI is based on Linux framebuffer, we don't use X Win at all... Is there something similar to Linux FB with FreeBSD? If yes, how do I activate it? (on linux there's ad evice at /dev/fb0) Eagerly awaiting your reply and waiting to take the plunge at full steam... Best Regards, ~Mayuresh -- BSD is for people who love Unix, Linux is for people who hate winDOZE ;) - Anonymous To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Forth code
Here is some boot loader forth code for your amusement. It's written for pxeboot, and is only usable if dhcp.host-name is set. perhost.4th implements per-host forth files (loader.HOST.rc) and configuration files (loader.HOST.conf). I'm not really sure the code is correct. It works, but some questions remain: - Are there reasons not to redefine "start"? - Am I doing exception handling correctly? - Should I call "any_conf_read?" like I do now, twice? - Why is there "also" after "only forth" in the last line? passwd.4th implements a simple per-host password file. I didn't have the nerve to implement MD5 crypt(3) in forth, though, so the passwords are cleartext (as check-password accepts them).

Normally, if this \ variable is set, if the FORTH word 'autoboot' returns (e.g., if \ the user interrupts the boot process by pressing a key at the \ countdown that the boot loader presents before running the \ loaded kernel), the boot loader asks for the password before \ dropping into the prompt. \ \ It's usable in an environment where several machines are \ network booted over PXE into FreeBSD using the same NFS root \ partition, and of these machines some need different boot \ loader passwords, and some need no password. (One normally \ needs no boot loader password in a protected environment, but I \ wouldn't dare to put a machine without a boot loader password \ in a publicly accessible lab.) \ \ The passwords are per machine. There may be a default password \ set in /boot/loader.conf(5), in which case it's still possible \ to leave some machines without password protection by setting \ empty passwords for them. \ \ \ \ \ THE FORMAT OF /boot/loader.passwd \ \ Each line can be either an empty line (no whitespace allowed), \ a comment line starting with a '#' character (no whitespace \ before '#' allowed), or a password entry. A password entry is \ a line of the format: \ hostname:password \ where: \ - 'hostname' is a valid hostname consisting of letters, \ digits, hyphens and dots (no further validity checks are \ performed). It should be the hostname as given by the \ DHCP server and presented by the loader(8) as environment \ variable "dhcp.host-name". \ - ':' is a colon character. \ - 'password' is a cleartext (sorry) password consisting of \ zero or more characters from 0x20 to 0x7E (printable \ ASCII). An empty password means no password for this \ host. \ No whitespace is allowed anywhere on such line except in \ password. If more than one password entry exists for the same \ hostname, the latest of them wins. \ \ \ \ \ USAGE: \ \ This file should be loaded from /boot/loader.rc using 'include'. \ \ /boot/support.4th must b

nsswitch help for you?
Hi, I originally sent this to a Jaques, who said he had done previous nsswitch work on FreeBSD. However, my email to him was bounced back, and I've included it below for him or anyone to see. I don't have low-level experience with FreeBSD (yet) in terms of coding, but I have a real need for this and am willing to work on this. Umm, however, where the heck do I begin? It's not like I can just open the - CURRENT FreeBSD kernel and just know what to do. Any pointers are welcome, including information on possible design specifications to follow to achieve the goal of modularizing nsswitch so we can load nss_ldap? Much thanks, I've posted the email below in case anyone wants to read it since it got bounced back to me. / BEGIN MY OLD EMAIL ***/ Hi there! I was reading past discussions on FreeBSD-hackers about nsswitch and ldap. Lately, this has become an important issue with me and where I work, and I would like to offer development support in this area. The reason I contacted you directly is because in one of the posts it said to contact you if anyone wanted to help. I'm still in school and everything, and I've only taken glances at FreeBSD kernel source code. However, even with any setbacks I may have, I've always wanted to get in on the fun, and since this is a need for me, I think I'd be devoted enough to learn/help. So, what exactly needs to be done to make dynamically loadable nsswitch module support work and get ldap incorportated into the infrastructure? Just send me any information or design goals you had, and how I might go about getting this done. This would be a learning process for me, and I would keep in touch with you. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to ask after reading whatever you have to say. Oh, and on a side note, I don't know how most developers in freebsd-hackers are, but I don't have the latest and greatest computer systems at my personal disposal. I would be making due with a P3-500 and an AMD TBird 1.3 GHz; also, what version of FBSD would you recommend me using to develop? I am assuming 5.0-CURRENT?

Re: nsswitch help for you?
Quoting Danny Braniss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > what exactly do you want/need? > danny Sorry, I'll try to get as specific as I can with my currently limited knowledge of the FBSD source code. Basically, I would like to know where I can find information on the nsswitch protocol (if that is even such a thing): perhaps a document or standards paper? I will be downloading -CURRENT tomorrow so I can take a look at the current nsswitch code, but is there anything you know right off hand that would help me? I'm sorry for the incompetence and don't want to clutter -hackers mailing list any more than I have too, but I don't exactly know what types of questions to even really ask you yet. If there is any general type of information you have to help the learning curve of the kernel though, I'd appreciate it. - SIUE Web Mail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
