Re: ANyone seen a touch screen on BSD?
I don't remember if you were there or not but there was a bartop arcade game that was based on FreeBSD that had a touch screen that showed up at FreeBSDCon 99 (I think). My memory fails me on the name of the person that brought it but I'm sure he's on -hackers (maybe) :) -Bill On Tue, Jan 22, 2002 at 10:12:01AM -0800, Julian Elischer wrote: says it all.

Re: Phobos 4-port NIC
I had a similar (if not identical) phobos card. Turned out to be supported.

Perhaps by the dc or de drivers?

Re: Duping a hard disk
This is the way I'd reccomend doing it. Getting the initial bits in place can be a pain but once that's done it's a cinch and very fast and easy to maintain. -Bill On Tue, Oct 23, 2001 at 09:11:10AM -0500, Pete McKenna wrote: We netboot via PXE and run sysinstall. It takes about 6 minutes. You can make packages out of your specialized stuff. This make it easy to keep up to date as well as build. You don't need to worry about the drives being the same size etc either, and different config scripts let you build different kinds of systems very easily. We use all Intel NICs which support PXE, but I think you could do this with netboot also.

To speed up the adding of new machines, I envision making a duplication station, where I would add a new disk as a slave and then dup the master disk to the slave disk. Then I would only have to change IP and machine name. But alas, I cannot find any procedures for doing this. Does anyone know how to duplicate a master disk to a new slave disk??? It would REALLY make my life much easier. BTW, We are running 3.2. Yea, I know it's ancient but we have added significant kernel hacks to support specialized ATN and X.25 protocols and don't envision upgrading until we get our modifications completed.

Re: Checking changes to listening ports in /etc/security
Why not use sockstat instead of netstat?

I've been adding an extra check in my local version of /etc/security for quite
some time now. All it does is use 'netstat' to grab a list of the listening
tcp and udp ports of my machine and save it to /var/log/netstat.today
(and /var/log/netstat.yesterday). This way, when some service starts
and listens on a new port the next run of /etc/security will log the
fact in the usual stuff sent to root by mail. I tested this running
/etc/periodic/daily/450.security twice, and running a local IRC daemon between
the two runs. The output that is added to the message root receives looks
like the following:
hades.hell.gr changes in listening ports:
4a5,6

tcp4 0 0 *.7325 *.*LISTEN
7a10
udp4 0 0 *.**.*
10a14
udp4 0 0 *.7007 *.*
Does the attached patch below seem interesting to anyone else, too?
Should I send-pr it, or just keep merging it with my own security checks,
and leave things as they are?

tiny patch to pkg_add
Ok, So this represents my most significant effort to date to fix something in C. It took me far too long to identify where the one line fix needed to go and even longer to figure out how to do it in C. Here's the problem that this fixes: When using pkg_add -r to add multiple packages (i.e. pkg_add -r foo bar baz) pkg_add was dying after adding the first package because it was botching the URL for every package after the initial one. It looked a bit like this: # pkg_add -r xonix nethack an Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.4-release/Latest/xonix.tgz... Done.

hardware donation needed
Hey all, In the past few months we've received quite a few test machines from different companies requesting that we verify that FreeBSD runs well on their hardware. This on top of the normal circus of machines that we use for release testing and development has exceeded our small network's capacity. Right now we're in great need of a few 10/100 switchs that we can use to expand our test network. We're not picky, we'll take what we can get. So if you have some equipment that you can donate to the project please contact me directly. -Bill -- -=| --- B i l l S w i n g l e --- http://www.freebsd.org/ -=| [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=| Senior Systems Administrator - The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
soundcards needed to further newpcm development
Hello all, In an attempt to help Cameron get newpcm to support widest array of soundcards available we're trying to collect as many as possible for testing and development. Below is a list of chipsets that we're still lacking. If you have any cards that have these chips on them, and would like to see support for them added or improved please consider sending them to us. Due to the sheer number of cards we'll be handling and the fact that they'll end up in the UK in the end, these cards will have to be donations to the project or indefinate loans at least. If you have a card you'd like to donate please send me some email and then send the card to: Cameron Grant c/o Bill Swingle Walnut Creek CDROM 4041 Pike Ln #F Concord, CA, 94520 If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me.

Surplus 3.2-RELEASE cds
Hello all, I have, piled around my desk, a little over 1000 copies of FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. Of course I've never really been fond of cubicles and dont really need to make a cube out of all these boxes so I need to get rid of them :) If you are part of an organization that could use FreeBSD 3.2-R discs in bulk please email me and let me know. The discs come in boxes of 52 each. Suitable uses for these would be giving out at users groups, ploping on the desks of developers that would make use of it, stocking local library shelves, and giving away at relavent trade shows. If at all possible it would be great to squeeze as much publicity as possible out of these events. Doing things like having a info sheet to hand out a long with the discs that explains what FreeBSD is and why it rocks, will make giving the discs out a worthwhile exercise. Please contact me if you think you have a worthy cause. As always it's great if you can pay for the shipping on these but we won't turn anyone away due to not being able to (anyone in the US that is). -Bill -- -=| --- B i l l S w i n g l e --- http://www.dub.net/ -=| [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=| Different all twisty a of in maze are you, passages little To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
MySQL and the quest for Finnish FreeBSD folks
Hey all, Mike Smith and I talked to the MySQL folks at the Orielly Open Source show a few weekends ago. They were quite keen to imporve the quality of their FreeBSD port but they dont have much experience running a FreeBSD box much less one to actualy use. What I'm looking for is some people in Finland, where MySQL development is based, to 1) reccomend a local hardware vendor we can order a machine from, 2) help the MySQL folks set the machine up, and 3) offer extended help beyond the initial install. These needs can be filled by multiple people if need be. There isnt any real compensation for your time except knowing that you're further the project in this area :) Anyone that is interestee or know anyone that might be, please send me some email :) -Bill -- -=| --- B i l l S w i n g l e --- http://www.dub.net/ -=| [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=| Different all twisty a of in maze are you, passages little To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
