kern/26563 setting sample rate
I just wanted to see if this can get committed. I have been using it with no problems and it makes some programs work a little nicer for those of us with ac'97 cards (notably xmms) It is a simple one line patch. Would be nice if this could make it to 4.4-RELEASE... James To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-hackers in the body of the message

Ho p" writes: Hi all, I was wondering how to increase the robustness of the booting process, so that a box would be able to keep itself on its feet without intervention of the console. I think this would be of great value to the many people who administer colocated boxes. I'm not much of a coder so all I can do is mailing this (at the risk of wasting your time with total useless crap ofcourse, in which case I apologize.) 1. Old kernel recovery When 'make install'ing a new kernel, a flag is raised (say, 'revert_on_fail') which is only cleared after a successful system initialisation. When the new kernel boots, a panic in this state or an unexpected reboot (reset after a system hang) would cause /kernel.old to be loaded on the next boot instead (maybe the same could work for /etc/rc.conf.old) This is actually more a question of where to store the flag than anything else. Couldn't you just modify the shutdown command to have an option for revert on fail, which would create a file on the root filesystem with a timestamp of when the reboot started. Then at boot time, if that timstamp is still there, and has been around for too long, boot the kernel.old instead of kernel. Then the question is what amount of time is reasonable for the wait period. This may have the machine boot the new kernel and panic a few times, but at least you can be assured that it would after x minutes boot the old kernel instead. Once a boot was successful the times stamp file could be removed. Just a thought. ~James Julian made a rather hackish thing for Whistle, but I think we lost that with the advent of the new bootblocks. 2. Automatic file system checks In case of a powercycle or crash, it could be that a filesystem needs fixing. Now I don't know much about fs internals, but I guess that in most cases just answering 'Y' to fsck's questions will fix things. I would appreciate an option where an inconsistency would start up fsck in an "automatic" repair mode, with all actions logged and "undo" data being saved (in case manual review is needed). Alternatively it might be worth considering adding a "remote-single-user" capability: If an fsck fails, ifconfig the interfaces and start an sshd so people can get in remotely and fsck... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Re: smb printer trouble
Thanks, and no-thanks at the same time ;) The 'push back' will help (so I can avoid the temp file) and I will put that in. However, my filter is doing just fine on postscript files (and since it is a postscript pinter I don't have to put it through gs). The problem is with _non_ postscript files where the first line contains the '\' char at the end of the line, the read procedure sees that as "chomp the newline, and keep going as if the line never ended" I need to see if there is a way to avoid that behavior so my filter can print all files without messing them up ;) Thanks for the 'push back' help though!

Re: smb printer trouble
I know it is happening because of the ``read firstline'' command. It is using the standard shell way of continuing a line using the '\' char and applying that to the input. That explains why only the first line is effected. Actually, if there is a way that I can read only the first two chars from the standard input that would solve the problem for nearly all the cases.

Re: login.conf question
Actually I tested this theory (all with remote logins, not sued) and it let me login 13 times (maxproc set to 12) however once i hit the 11'th login it made all the logins useless. Anytime i tried to run a process I got an error from bash that it could not fork. After the 11'th login i got this error when i logged on but still gives me the shell prompt, although i could not do anything. So apparently even with the maxproc limit, the login is allowed to su to the user making them over their limit. This is where the sesssion limit should take place making it harder for the user to hit the maxproc limit by logging in to many times. the bash fork error may confuse some of my users where a friendly "too many logins" is easy to under stand. Bhishan Hemrajani wrote: Instead of using sessionlimit, why don't you limit the number of processes. That way, the number of shells that they can have is limited also. --bhishan That might make sence at first, but that should still keep one person from logging in more than 4 times. Also i tested the session time and that is not working either so that makes me think there is something else i am missing. Besides the maxproc will pretty much limit them anyway ;) although that might make for more questions about why they can't run any programs when they have too many logins. Owell, I have yet to have anybody actually try to log in that many times. Perhaps there is something else i am forgetting to enable this? maby a kernal option or sysctl?
