make (pmake) question
I've been struggling a few make problems, where the actual behavior
seems to differ from the documentation. It's more than likely that
something just hasn't gotten through my thick skull, so I'm looking
for explanations. For starters:
variable assignment with expansion. make(1):
:= Assign with expansion, i.e. expand the value before
assigning it to the variable. Normally, expansion is not
done until the variable is referenced.
compare this with the behavior of this makefile:
LOCALDESTDIR:= ${DESTDIR}/foo
DESTDIR:= ${DESTDIR}/bar
foo:
@echo ${LOCALDESTDIR}
bar:
@echo ${DESTDIR}
.PHONY: foo bar
roman@freepuppy ~/tmp 1023:0 > make DESTDIR=dir foo bar
dir/foo
dir

gnome2, if you installed the meta-port, comes with a program called "yelp" which is a comprehensive manual browser, primarily for gnome docs. if you don't have it, install /usr/ports/x11/yelp. start it up, click Desktop, the Menus, expand "Customizing Your Menus" on the left, and choose "To Add a Launcher to a Menu." the answers to all your questions are in documents. learn where the answers to some of these interface-level questions lie. lay? i think lie. -Adam >> (09.19.2002 @ 2332 PST): Peter Leftwich said, in 0.4K: << > Could be simple, but how do you add to Gnome 2's "start menu?" > > I am tiring of clicking the MainMenu then "Run Program" gaim or freeamp! > > -- > Peter Leftwich > President & Founder > Video2Video Services > Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA > +1-413-403-9555 > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > >> end of "add to gnome start menu?" from Peter Leftwich << -- "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw." -Lilo, "Lilo & Stitch" Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vectors.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

can you show your wicontrol scripts? and the output of "ifconfig -a"? and of "wicontrol -i wi0" and "wicontrol -i wi1". tell me whether i have this wrong: you have 2 cards in one computer, at you're trying to get them both to communicate with a card in a laptop running in host mode? are either of the cards associating? if you assign wi1 an IP, say: ifconfig wi1 inet 192.168.20.222 can you then ping the ip? -Adam >> (09.19.2002 @ 2322 PST): Pete Muller said, in 3.8K: << > > Hi all, > > Old 233mhz Vectra, FBSD v4.5 > > I'm struggling to get 2 Orinoco Silver .11b cards to run on FBSD v4.5.

Since others have replied with references at programs, let me add just a bit of advocacy here. FreeBSD is a very good choise of an operating system for this sort of thing.

Running 2 wireless cards
Hi all, Old 233mhz Vectra, FBSD v4.5 I'm struggling to get 2 Orinoco Silver .11b cards to run on FBSD v4.5. Each card is in an ISA adapter. The box does nat through the wired NIC to the world. (3Com 3C905 card) One wireless card is set up as the 192.168.10 network, the second being the 192.168.20 network. The problem I'm having is getting the *second* card to work. I can ping it, the lights are on, but the card is not talking. I've "wicontrol'd" this thing to death... trying every conceivable combination of settings, still with no luck. btw: I'm trying to talk to it using a Dell laptop running W2k with [another] Orinoco Silver card (same cards in the FBSD box).

Some places offer 24" or even 32" IDE cables, which work on some systems but I prefer to stick to 18" wherever possible since that is the IDE spec(and I have had some problems with 24" cables hooked to promise IDE controllers - got some CRC errors on transfers, not fatal but I don't like seeing errors) nate (not a freebsd-head yet, but workin on it) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Re: number of snoop devices
My problem was this: -for the 10th + snp devices, I had to create it by hand with mknod; - I had an old version of watch, the one that comes with 4.6-REL does have the option of specifying the snoop device. Only weirdness I see is that the tty must be open before executing watch on it, else there's an error. But that's not a big deal. Thanks for directing me to the right place.

It's pretty easy to do some things (although not quite as easy as using the MS Global IME).

Both work well, and both are efficient (I have a low volume server with Courier SSL-IMAP and ESMTP on a 486DX33 with 20 MB of ram). I know of one Cyrus system that supports tens of thousands of mail users. I use Courier now and haven't used Cyrus in a few years, so I'm not sure how current versions would compare, but I lean toward Courier. It's extremely flexible, but the documentation tends to lag behind its development. When I used Cyrus it was probably worse about that. http://www.courier-mta.org is its home.

Keeping the comments there is a little trickier. But I guess if you KNOW the data will be in that format (comment, list of IPs blank separator) you may get off a little more lightly than arbitray text. I would suggest looking at Perl - unless you have a perverse desire to learn sed and awk and still be limited in what you can do. I find Perl does it all and more, plus TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It - the Perl motto). Assuming you go the Perl route, start by setting the record separator to a blank line, then read each comment/IP in - I think a hash of comment and IP array would work. Then you can sort the IPs for each record, or across the board or whatever you want to do. I'm not sure how you will handle sorting an IP between two other IPs in the same black, but that's easy enough whatever you decide to do. I'm giving a broad overview, rather than telling you exactly what to do for a couple of reasons. One is that you wish to learn, and you'll learn better by doing it yourself. And the other is that I would have to do this myself first, and why duplicate the effort when you're going to do it? ;-) Hope that helps.

Your best bet would be to search these mailing lists for the following words (not necessarily in the same search). uw-imap qpopper courier cyrus postfix qmail that will turn up a lot of information on what other people are recommending. I myself use uw-imap, but our company is only 7 people so I don't have any capacity issues to deal with.

Is It Possible To Sort My Text File?
I'm running Postfix and have it configured to send 450 errors if the IP address of a mail server fails reverse lookup as described at http://www.muine.org/~hoang/postfix.html. As part of this config, I have a "override" file that is checked first. When I initially created the file, I sorted my entries based upon reported domain names. I have now decided that I would prefer to have the entries listed in IP address order. Although I could fix the file manually, I know there are tools in the OS that will do this for me and I'd like to learn how to use them. I am guessing that a command line using cat, sort, and sed or awk is what I need but I haven't been able to figure this out. Below is the first part of my file. Please look at the last entry I included because it has two IP addresses for the same domain comment and I would really like to keep entries like this intact. Any suggestions and examples for building the command will be appreciated. Thanks, Drew blacklamb# cat client_access # Add unknown client addresses that we'll accept mail from.

Sounds like you aren't using quite the right mouse type. If you let the X server determine the mouse type automatically, it usually does a pretty good job. If you're running moused(8) -- ie you have: moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf -- then something like this in the XF86Config file should work well: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection Now, if you've got a mouse with all sorts of fancy wheels and rollers, then there are other options to make all that sort of stuff work. However, this minimal configuration should give you the basic functionality. > During the installation probe of freeBSD there is no option to set the > display adapter IRQ.

The IRQ of a PCI device is usually defined by which of the PCI slots it's plugged into. Given you've got PnP turned off, you should get pretty much the same IRQ settings as under WinXP. IRQ 12 is by all customary usage devoted to the mouse (psm0 device). > Here is where I could use some help. > 1. I need a tool or procedure that I could use to DEFINATIVELY capture > IRQ, I/O and memory addresses (all I care about is wow they will work in > freeBSD). It's captured for you, in the /var/run/dmesg.boot file. It will contain details of every device recognised by your kernel. Another useful couple of commands are: pciconf -lv pnpinfo > 2.

I have re-installed the system, probably 30 times now (I'm > a little stubborn). You definitely don't need to reinstall the whole system. The most you need to do is compile yourself a custom kernel, install it and reboot. See chapter 9 of the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for detailed instructions. However, you can set a lot of kernel configuration by modifying the /boot/loader.conf file --- the loader.conf(5) and loader(8) man pages describe the syntax, and the man pages for the individual devices (eg. psm(4)) will tell you all the available options amidst a deal of other information: look for the ones that talk mention kldload(8). Note too that playing with loader.conf can be hazardous to the bootability of your system so pay due care and attention to what you're doing.

Fixes for modem lockup and cuaa4/KPPP problems
These are fixes I found on the web for a couple of problems I was having. 1. System lockup when I tried to use cuaa0 and 2. How to use cuaa4 on KPPP dialer. For the modem lockup when I tried to use cuaa0, I simply used (as root) /dev/MAKEDEV to create cuaa4, with which my modem worked perfectly. Then I had to find a way to use cuaa4 under KPPP which only allows cuaa0 to cuaa3. Basically it's simple. As root, cd down to /dev and remove (rm) cuaa3. Then form a soft link called /dev/cuaa3 to /dev/cuaa4. It solved the problem fine. KPPP worked like a charm from then on. Here is the article I got the fix from: " This will probably only apply to PCI Modems that are assigned an IRQ out of the range of the normal COM port IRQ's. ( IRQ 4, 3) The problem: ActionTek PCI modem assigned to sio4, I prefer KDE and KPPP as my connection interface. KPPP only provides port selections cuaa0 to cuaa3. My modem is assigned to cuaa4. ( I really like the automated MAKEDEV on bootup, specially since I can't find setserial on my box anymore :^) ) Solution: As root from CLI shell or even a terminal in KDE. cd /dev See what exists: ls -l /dev/cuaa* Should see entries in the table: crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa0 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa1 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa2 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa3 crw-r-- root wheel 28, 132 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa4 NOTE: If your table does not look like the example above you should probably try another method. This worked for me and my setup. rm cuaa3 ln -s /dev/cuaa4 /dev/cuaa3 To Verify: ls -l /dev/cuaa* Should now look like: crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa0 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa1 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa2 crw-r-- root wheel 10, Dec 7 16:02 cuaa3 -> /dev/cuaa4 crw-r-- root wheel 28, 132 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa4 Finally: In order for me as user to use this I had to assign myself to group wheel in /etc/group file. This is easily done with your favorite editor and adding a comma behind the last entry of group wheel and the the approppriate user name. Do not put a space, white or otherwise between the comma and the new user ID. Written and tested by BSDvault member DonXC " Hope all this helps someone. :) __ Do you Yahoo!?

Read "man tuning", of course. 200 requests per second is a significant load-- around 2 MB/s I/O bandwidth, given an average WWW request size of ~10K, only remember that you have to read the requested data (at least the first time, until it's cached) and forward the response to the client, so you're both sending and receiving the bytes some of the time. You want to either have a fast SCSI disk system, or multiple spindles, or preferably both. Four 30 GB disks would perform a lot better than one 100 GB disk. With the way squid distributes cache directories, you wouldn't even need to RAID-0 (stripe) them, although that wouldn't be a bad thought either. You could get by with a single 100TX NIC per machine, but having two NICs would be better, since you can easily divide the network traffic up. -Chuck Chuck Swiger | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | All your packets are belong to us. -+---+--- "The human race's favorite method for being in control of the facts is to ignore them." -Celia Green To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
IRQ problems
I'm getting there. It has taken me two weeks to get to this point. I will never give up! :-) I still can not install freeBSD with the graphical interface KDE. I get through the installation process ok and then when I restart, login as root (or any other acct) and invoke "startx" this is what happens: The KDE desktop initializes and displays fine, but the mouse jitters and jerks and stays in the upper left hand corner of the screen. It responds to input, (when I move the mouse it jerks out of the corner then back in, and I cannot control it. For now I wouldn't mind not using the mouse, but I don't know how to make the pointer move without it in KDE (is there virtual mouse utility like in X?). Let me tell something about my hardware and settings, maybe this will reveal something obvious and blaring to you, but hidden to me. IRQ Problems: I am running WindowsXP on an ASUS P2B motherboard. It is a dual processor board, but I only have one P2 (450mhz) processor (I am running hal.dll). When I run Winmsd.exe (in safe mode). I show the display adapter (Matrox G400 Max) at IRQ 16. In the BIOS I have the PnP OS variable set to OFF. When I power up the machine and I see the display of most of the system devices, their address, names and IRQ values. Here, the display adapter resides at IRQ 12. During the installation probe of freeBSD there is no option to set the display adapter IRQ. The mouse comes up as IRQ 12 and will not let me edit it. So I think I have an IRQ conflict, but I don't know how to resolve it on the pc end or the freeBSD end. I even tried fooling the BIOS into thinking that the display adapter had a different IRQ so that it would not occupy IRQ 12. Alas, to no avail. I would love to send the startup log, but I haven't figured out how to do that. The machine "assumptions" are different every which way I look at them. In windows safe mode I see what looks to be a complete accounting of config values. In normal mode, running Winmsd.exe I get a different set of values. Looking at the device manager reveals some different twists. The machine level/BIOS "assumptions" have subtle but important differences, and finally the freeBSD probe reveals different values all together. For me it is a little like hitting a moving target that is on a moving target (while I am moving). Here is where I could use some help. 1. I need a tool or procedure that I could use to DEFINATIVELY capture IRQ, I/O and memory addresses (all I care about is wow they will work in freeBSD). 2. A way to view and edit IRQ information on the freeBSD side other than the initial installation. It takes a LONG time to re-install the system, when you just want to change one value and test it (something like the system probe). I have re-installed the system, probably 30 times now (I'm a little stubborn). I am a newbie to be sure, but I really want to learn. I have a definite goal in mind for setting this up.

Headless FreeBSD box - Serial Redirection Not Working
Greetings! I have FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE running on a rackmount chassis, and I want to convert it to a headless box, with all console output redirected to the serial port. I have followed the directions in the FreeBSD handbook as follows: In my kernel, I have the flag 0x10 set on serial port 1 to make it a console: device sio0at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 In my /boot.config file, I have the "-P" option set to probe for keyboard on booting, and then redirect the console appropriately. Now when I go to reboot the machine (with the keyboard removed), I see the following on my dumb terminal on the serial port /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no I then get the message saying "Press [ENTER] to boot kernel or any other key to enter single user mode". I press enter, then I see: Booting kernel... I then do not get any more display on the serial port, and there is no display on the monitor, either. However, the box boots fine and I can get into it via telnet. The problem is I lost my console display on both the serial port and the monitor. Any idea why it stopped displaying to the serial port after leaving the boot loader and starting to boot the kernel? Thanks!

Re: OT sed help
Try these
Use this if part numbers are numeric only.
cat my_flat_file | sed /"^[0-9]\{8\}[^0-9].*$"/d
Use this if part numbres are alpha-numeric, and columns are seperated by
whitespace
cat my_flat_file | sed /"^[0-9a-zA-Z]\{8\}.*$"/d
These will both simply delete(from view, not from the file) compliant
entries, displaying only non-compliant entries.

IPv6 protocol switch implementation.
Hi, I've been reading through the implementation code of IPv6 and specifically ip6_input. I see the following. IPv6 uses the same protocol switch to process both the protocols (like UDP & TCP) and also the option headers like Fragmentation. My question is: Are these numbers are promised to be aligned even in the future? Basically if a protocol number will be the same as an option number this will not work. The same question applies to IPv4 (even though your implementation is not using this trick there). Can we safely process IPv4 options the same way?

I just looked at my script to create users here and the argument -m is used. Experimenting shows that -m causes a home directory to be created, whereas the lack of -m causes the user to be added but no home directory created. The current man page for 'pw' does not show -m as an arg for 'pw useradd'. This is apparently wrong. It works as described below under the '-m' arg description with 'pw useradd'. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

In general, it is a good idea to try to avoid -exec, because
it is inefficient. -exec runs the specified command for every
single file, whilch can be terribly slow if there are a lot of
files. Better use xargs instead, which will collect multiple
filenames and execute the command fewer times.
This also enables you to use grep to filter the file names in
a more sophisticated way than find itself can do:
find foo -type f | grep -i '\.jpg$' | xargs -J % mv % bar

font problem with KDE and openoffice?
Hi, I use KDE 3.0.3 and OpenOffice 1.0.1 under FreeBSD Stable, but I have problem entering in OpenOffice certain latin-2 characters. I use the KDE keyboard tools to change between the US and Hungarian keyboard layouts: If I use latin2-hungarian keyboard layout I got odiaresis and ucircumflex in every application (Kate, kword, openoffice). If I use unicode-hungarian keyboard layout and not setting any particular LANG environment I can use the key odoubleacute and udoubleacute in any KDE application and I got the following error: kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: Sym::initQt( ): failed to convert key. Unfortunately with such a setup I cannot use OpenOffice. I got nothing for odoubleacute and udoubleacute (not even error). If I use unicode-hungarian keyboard layout and setting LANG environment to hu_HU.ISO8859-2, I can use the key odoubleacute and udoubleacute in any KDE application and I got the similar error. With such a setup I can use OpenOffice for some files, but some has missing characters at the place of odoubleacute and udoubleacute. I suspect some bugs in keycode processing / font handling in OpenOffice or interaction error between KDE/X and Openoffice. Do you have any idea what can be a problem? Any ideas to resolve this problem are welcome. Janos Mohacsi To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Or, try "-iname" instead of "-name"
man find
...
-iname pattern
Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.

Hope that helps,

Sendmail configuration question
I've got a 4.6 STABLE machine (last cvsup'd about a month or so ago), that I use for my workstation within a medium size company. We are in the throes of a "merger", and the corporate people are using this as a n excuse to redo (read break) many things. I find myself in a position where I need to set up sendmail in the following fashion. I need it to deliver all (except machine local email) to a smarthost. Now this _should_ be straightforward, except that at the moment I can only access the machine by IP address, since the DNS server for our part of the merged company still does not have entries for the merged domain name.

Restart multi-user mode automatically
Hi, This might seem like a strange question, but maybe someone has an answer or idea ... Under certain circumstances, I need to restart a machine's multi-user mode without manual intervention. In other words, it should perform a shutdown, killing all processes, but then (instead of prompting for a single-user mode shell), the system should get back up into multi-user mode automatically (running /etc/rc etc). I do not want to perform a full reboot. Is there a way to do that? Thanks for any hints!
