Yes, I have. Through a bit of Googleing I stumbled onto a page that
had a fix. In the Makefile find this section:
.if defined(WITH_APACHE2)
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-apxs2=${PREFIX}/sbin/apxs \
--with-tsrm-pth
PLIST_SUB= MOD_DIR=libexec/apache2 \
NON=
.else
Change it to:
.if defined(WITH_APACHE2)
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-apxs2=${PREFIX}/sbin/apxs
# --with-tsrm-pth
PLIST_SUB= MOD_DIR=libexec/apache2 \
NON=
.else
Just removing the backslash from the second line and commenting out the
third.
For me, after much pain, I changed the line that says:
APXS?= ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/apxs
to:
APXS2= ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/apxs
substitute 2 for ? and it worked.

sound on motherboard GA-7VR
hello, I have a GA-7VR motherboard with VIA KT333 / 8233A(CE) chipset and installed 5.0 Release on it. everything works ok except for the sound. the onboard chip is AC97 codec with 6 channel (Realtek ALC650). when booting with the generic kernel, the kernel sees this device as: Multimedia device found, no driver attached. Is this device supported, as there is no refference for it in the hardware list and if it can be made to work with FreeBSD 5.0, what should i do?

Installing Stripped System
I'd like to install a system lacking some of the binaries you can specify as make.conf knobs, such as NO_I4B= true NO_IPFILTER= true NOGAMES= true NOUUCP= true NO_SENDMAIL= true Even when I install a minimal system from an install CD (just bin), and then cvsup and make world with the above in /etc/make.conf , the original binary files are still around. I can remove them manually by going into the various directories (/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/libexec) and removing any files older than my installworld date, but that still leaves crud in /usr/share, etc. Is there a better way to either do a stripped install, or to remove the files programmatically? Using a simple command like find / \! -mtime 1 -print also finds files in /usr/include, /usr/share/man, etc. that I don't want to remove.

Re: Vim+Mutt+Backspace
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-23 00:16:00 -0800: FreeBSD 4.7 Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29) Vim 6.1.271 Anyways, when I run vim from the command line, if I'm in insert mode and I hit the backspace key it acts normally. IE: It erases the character to the left of the cursor. However, when I'm editing an email to send (as I am right now) when I hit the backspace key it instead acts like I hit delete. (Erasing the character under the cursor). Any ideas as to why this might be happening? It's highly frustrating. I had the same/similar problem when I started using FreeBSD. The lack of user-level documentation, silence of those-who-have-the-answers, all that was really depressing. That said, I went through my .vimrc, .muttrc, .Xdefaults, and .zsh* files, and /usr/share/misc/termcap, and all I could find was XTerm.backspacekey: ^H XTerm.deletekey: ^? in my .Xdefaults; the ^H and ^? are literal characters, IOW, real backspace and delete. I had this problem some time ago: rxvt (or was it vim?) started from my window manager's menu (which was then blackbox) behaved properly, while if started through bbkeys (an app that handles keyboard shortcuts in blackbox) I couldn't get backspace/delete behave. The difference was in the way these two programs launched it. I don't remember what I did to address it, perhaps the author of bbkeys changed the code... -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

problems configuring ipfw via raw sockets
Hi ppl!
I need to use direct access to ipfw rules via raw sockets instead of
some scripts using ipfw utility.
I looked into ipfw sources and made a simple program to test if I could
add a simple rule this way.
Just rewrote pieces of original code into my program w/out any serious
change.
But setsockopt() always return EINVAL and string msg Invalid argument.
And no details. Hence I'm in a fix. Icannot get what's wrong indeed.
It's my first experience with configuring ipfw this way and maybe I
missed something obvious for a guru :0)
Here I place my code (short anough).
Any advice would be appritiated.
Maybe some links to some docs - I failed to find anything but a very
short info in manpages.

starting x at a high priority
hey fellows, i'm trying to tune my laptop here (IBM T22 running 4.7-STABLE with X 4.2.1) and had heard that upping the priority would help increase responsiveness under X. because i use startx from a console when i want to use X, and don't use XDM, i've been trying to work out which script to modify in order to startx with a priority of -1, but without starting as root. i've had a couple of failed attempts, so thought i'd ask here to see if anyone had any clues. also, does anyone have any other performance tips for a laptop? i've got 256 meg of ram, so was wondering if putting /tmp on a mfs would help.. i've had a look through the tuning(7) manpage, and some other docs, but they mostly seem to talk about tuning for a busy network server. is tuning actually possible for a workstation (ie, is FreeBSD already optimised for these types of machines), and does it offer a substantial difference? i'm currently using the machine for general tasks, web browsing with galeon, viewing media in mplayer, and endlessly compiling to feed my portupgrade fetish :) any tips would be gratefully received. stay frosty, ian -- :: darq.net /#/ :: live to kourier, kourier to live To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Native Java in FreeBSD when?
FreeBSD Team, I was excited to hear the announcement of a native FreeBSD implementation of Sun's JVM. This would finally let me get rid of Linux in situations where I need to deploy a Java based solution or have to worry about the quirks of running under Linux emu or rolling my own from source. Unfortunately I haven't seen any news as to when this will be made available beyond the 'should be available in 4.5 Jan 2002' which doesn't appear to be the case.

What are the differences between ports for these two releases? In general, how is a port for the CURRENT branch different from a port for STABLE? It's not just OpenOffice --- every pkg on the FreeBSD site that includes binaries has to be recompiled in order to run using the 5.x shlibs. You can install the COMPAT4X libraries on your 5.0 box so that all your old 4.x ports carry on working, but anything new is going to be linked against libc.so.5 and that's a different and incompatible application binary interface to libc.so.4. Other than that, the major difference I can see between the 5.0 OpenOffice pkg and the 4.x one is that under 5.0 the default C compiler (based on gcc-3.2.1) will compile OpenOffice, whereas under 4.x you've got to install the gcc32 port in order to do that. Most of the differences between 5.0 packages and 4.x packages are down to the change in the system compiler: gcc-3.2.1 is much more standards compiliant and much stricter when compiling c++ --- that has led to some hundreds of ports needing remedial attention before they will compile under 5.0. Also the removal of perl from the base system means that a large number of port Makefiles need to be modified to use $(REINPLACE_CMD) rather than $(PERL). That's mostly been done, but there are some stragglers still be dealt with.

getaddrinfo problems with gkrellm
Hey folks. I have a wierd question here regarding getaddrinfo(). I recently installed gkrellm2 from the ports, and found that it was misbehaving with remote email checks. It had no problems when being run on the local machine running the mail server, but from work, it seemed to just do nothing. Well, naturally I went to the source. Well, one of the authors, anyway. Bill Wilson was very helpful. After I helped him narrow down the problem, he sent me the following links: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2002-04/msg00210.html http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/27/msg00380.html I know they seem to be more related to Linux, but they also seem to apply here. He provided a patch that basically undefined the HAVE_GETADDRINFO precompiler macro. This fixed the problem. The reason I'm posting it here, is it appears this may be some obscure problem in glibc, and I'm wondering if anyone else has any insight in this problem. I looked at GETADDRINFO(3) and it seems to imply that the gkrellm2 behavior is correct, but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any insight to this? Is it really a problem with glib, or is this something that should just be ignored for now? Sorry if this is the wrong venue for this question, If it belongs elsewhere, please let me know.

To David Brownlee: I doubt NetBSD 1.0 binary could run against a NetBSD 1.6 libc. They don't care much about binary compatibility.

Linux Journal Press Releases Linux In the Workplace Under GNU FDL
LINUX JOURNAL PRESS RELEASES LINUX IN THE WORKPLACE UNDER GNU FDL Latest in a series of openly published books from No Starch Press imprint New York - January 23, 2003 - Linux Journal Press, an imprint of No Starch Press in partnership with Linux Journal, has announced that Linux in the Workplace will be released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL). The book's contents will be linked from www.nostarch.com and www.linuxjournal.com beginning on February 15, 2003, the fourth anniversary of Windows Refund Day. This marks the third release from No Starch Press in an open format and the second under a free license. No Starch Press also published The Linux Cookbook, by Michael Stutz, in 2001 under the Design Science License (DSL) and Programming Linux Games, by John R. Hall, in a freely available format in 2002. Written by the Linux Journal staff, Linux in the Workplace focuses on Linux desktop tools and how to use them in an office environment. Don Marti, editor-in-chief of Linux Journal, emphasizes the free software focus of Linux in the Workplace when he explains, The free software desktop is infinitely customizable, and gives companies and users the ability to add any functionality. A license as free as the software is necessary to keep the information up-to-date and accurate. This most recent release under the GNU FDL underscores the wealth of content now available under an open license. Bill Pollock, No Starch Press publisher, explains, GNU Press published free books before anyone, and there are a handful of publishers who will risk the time and effort to openly publish a book. We are willing to take that risk because the benefits of a larger audience outweigh the potential loss of readers that choose not to buy the book. Bradley Kuhn, Executive Director of the Free Software Foundation, is pleased to see publishers that appreciate the commercial benefits of free publishing. Free publishing is a perfect fit for the technical book market. We designed the GNU FDL specifically to address commercial concerns that publishers may have with free publishing. The decision to release Linux in the Workplace under the GNU FDL was an easy one. Phil Hughes, the publisher of Linux Journal, notes, As publishers of documentation rather than software, publishing under the FDL is a logical way for us to maximize our contribution to the Open Source movememt. Michael Stutz, the architect of the DSL, was enthused to write for a publisher willing to consider an open license. When I was writing The Linux Cookbook, releasing a book with a 'copyleft' license was unheard of; few publishers would consider it and even fewer had attempted it. John R. Hall released his book online after the initial publication, with positive results. Everyone benefits from open publishing, says Hall. Authors enjoy wider audiences, publishers realize more sales from free advertising, and readers get the high-quality electronic books they deserve. According to Pollock, the decision is up to the author. We prefer that authors choose their own license when publishing with us, recognizing that not all authors are comfortable with an open license. As long as there are authors who want their works published openly, and as long as the books sell, then we see no reason to stop.

Re: back up Win2k workstations?
On Thu, 23 Jan 2003, P. U. Kruppa wrote: I am looking for a concept to back up some Win2k workstations on a FreeBSD machine. Can this be done and how? The approach I use here is to set up Samba on FreeBSD and run Microsoft Backup on Windows to backup to a file on the server. Other Windows backup programs (e.g., Dantz Retrospect) can also write to files on a Samba server. A couple of caveats: * Use a recent version of Samba. Prior to 2.0.8, Samba did not support files 4GB, and some later versions got very slow with large files. I'm playing with the beta of 3.0 which is very fast with large files. * Microsoft Backup does no compression. You can either use very large hard disks on your server (which is what I'm doing now) or periodically run a script on the server to gzip the backup files. * You should probably tune the disk for large files; read 'man newfs' for details. Using this setup with 100Mbps Ethernet, I can backup a Windows workstation with 60GB of data in about 3 1/2 hours over the network, resulting in a single 60GB file on the server. Fortunately, not all of my Windows machines are this large. ;-) Tim Kientzle To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
NMBCLUSTERS and Kernel config
All, Im getting ready to go with our FreeBSD production mail server and Ive been reading that to optimize network mbufs, specify the NMBCLUSTERS options in the kernel. Ive read that setting this to a quarter of your physical RAM on this is the way to go, or devising a number from a mathematical equation based upon your maximum number of connections at peak (meaning, 800 connections at peak equals an NMBCLUSTER of 25600, or mathimatical breakdown 800 connections X 32K per session = 25600KB) Does anyone have a good way to devise a number for this, or is it really even needed? Ive a GB of memory in a Compaq DL320. The FreeBSD handbook says typically this is set to 1024 - 4096, adding to my confusion of what I need to set this to, if anything.

Re: 4.7-STABLE upgrade boot failure. - Semi-solved.
No, I just meant that I copied MAKEDEV from /usr/src into /dev, and
then ran ./MAKEDEV std from /dev, as per the UPDATING instructions.
hmm, does UPDATING say you should do that? all I know is
mergemaster
asks whether I want to have /dev/* rebuilt, and I let it do so.
UPDATING notwithstanding, you did *not* rebuild ad{4,5}*. take a
look in /dev/MAKEDEV: calling it with std does not touch ad* at
all. what you want is:
cd /dev ./MAKEDEV all ad4 ad5
yeah, this updated my ad* entries just fine, which was actually the
conclusion i'd come to a little while ago, i just didn't know how to do
it.
Silly me thinking that all == everything.
all of this aside, the base problem remains. Even with the updated ad*
entries sitting in /dev, I still get a root mount failed error message on
boot with no way I can see to load the 4.7 kernel.
Okay, just to update.. after much searching and reading, I discovered that
the way FreeBSD past a certain point is *supposed* to handle RAID hardware
arrays is to designate them as arX, and then you can use atacontrol to
attach/detach/whatever.
So basically, when I updated to 4.7-STABLE from 4.5-RC1, I was changing
the way it was looking at my current mirror setup. It now wanted to see the
array as ar0, except it wouldn't boot off of ar0s1a or anything.
I broke the mirror and promptly tried to boot with ad4 and ad5 being
individual drives instead of a mirror, and suddenly /dev/ad4s1a would boot
just fine.
Why it recognized the HPT370 as ar0 on 4.5 and worked fine while booting a
hardware mirrored drive from /dev/ad4s1a, and would not do the same under
4.7, I couldn't tell you.
So now my question is, how can I recreate the mirror? I don't want to take
down my whole system and resynch those two drives only to have it fail to
boot again. Should I just do it in software?
Anyways, thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
Aaron Lewis.

trouble brewing over the UNIX thing again...
I just read an article on eWeek about SCO's new SCOx server platform thingie...and tucked away near the bottom of the first page is the follow statement: McBride also confirmed that the company has hired high-profile attorney David Boies and his legal firm to investigate whether Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and versions of BSD infringed on the Unix intellectual property it owned. While claiming that it is hard to estimate how many people are technically in breach of its licensing terms, McBride said it's very widespread and would generate a revenue stream in the millions of dollars. We know who they are. But he stressed that this is a friendly move by the company, which would be flexible in determining what customers who had been using the software in an unlicensed way for some time would be charged. And here's the URL; http://eletters1.ziffdavis.com/cgi-bin10/flo?y=eTlj0BgcLa0DUm0tu80Av It looks to me like a really dirty move on their part and I sincerely hope this bite them so hard where the sun doesn't shine that the go misserably down the proverbial toilette. I honestly think this is a desperate move from a company on the threashold of going down... By the by I know this porbably isn't the right place to post this but...the more of us that know about what's coming the better. Here's a thought what about the intellectual property that the've enjoy at the expense of all of the BSD's?

Re: Subnetting or Bridging to secure different dapartments on our School LAN?
On Wednesday, January 22, 2003, at 06:31 AM, Martyn Hill wrote: Dear all I'd be very grateful for any insights you could share... Our school network continues to grow. Different departments within the school wish to piggy-back their windows machines on to our broadband internet connection, via our 100Mbps wired LAN within the building. Before I can allow anymore machines on, I need to put a measure of security in place - principally between the school Admin and Curriculum 'networks' and also between the other 3 departments who share the site with us. I was thinking along the lines of subnetting our existing network and applying a firewall between each sub-net. Currently, our setup comprises of two FreeBSD (4.5RELENG) boxes - one acting as a gateway/firewall between our private network (10.x.x.x/8) and the ADSL router, the other as a fileserver/web proxy/redirector and email server to our 40 or so Windows clients. DHCP and DNS is provided by the gateway. The gateway currently runs with two NICs - one to a switch, the other to the ADSL router. All other machines, including the fileserver hang off the switch. The ADSL router has another 3 10Mbps ports available for direct connection. The Admin and Curriculum users need to share the fileserver (for now, at least.) The other new users simply need the broadband connectivity (with or without the web-proxy facility that currently sits on the fileserver.) Questions: Do I consider placing more NICs into the gateway in order to create (along with a few switches) the new sub-nets, placing a firewall (ipfw) between each interface? Is it even possible to run 1 ipfw on the same box? Do I build a couple of cheap boxes (like the P90 I'm using for the current gateway) with FreeBSD and set them up for bridging along with ipfw? Do I buy a few hardware routers with firewall facility and build my sub-nets that way? Do I use ifconfig to alias the one internal NIC in the present gateway to create virtual sub-nets? Is a firewall really what I need to restrict particular traffic (like SMB browsing) across the sub-nets? Or, am I barking up the wrong tree (spanning, or otherwise...)? Thanks in advance. Martyn Hill ICT Teacher and IT Coordinator St James Independent School London Hello Martyn: As I understand it, you are attempting to limit traffic between various groups of users behind your firewall. In order to do this, I would recommend a mix of your solutions. 1) VLAN segmentation - use 802.1Q VLAN's to isolate the broadcast domains of your pass-through Internet users and your back-office servers and users. 2) IP Segmentation - this will be necessary if users are on different VLAN's because each VLAN is its own broadcast domain. 3) Firewall rulesets - now that you have separate routed segments, you can apply further filters at Layer 3 between your Internet and Internal users. In order to accomplish this, you will need an 802.1Q capable NIC on your firewall as well as 802.1Q capable switches at any point where both types of users will be on the same ethernet device. Your network would looks something like this: Inet - ADSL - FreeBSD BOX (802.1Q NIC) - Trunk with VLAN's 100 and 200 to - Switch - VLAN 100 - Internal Users and VLAN 200 - Internet Users Mike -- Michael K.

(repost) disklabel problem, please help
(Sorry for reposting, but I don't know any other place to post this -- if there is, please let me know -- and I really need help. I posted this almost 3 weeks ago, but got no response beyond, Since you have a promise RAID card, why?) Hello, I'm trying to set up a vinum mirrored plex on my 4.7-STABLE (cvsup-ed as of yesterday, 1/3) system. I have 3 30GB drives. Currently, only the first disk is being used. This disk has all the system along with all my digital photos and videos. I'd like to mirror the other two 30GB drives and move the digital photos and videos there, so that if one drive were to die, I'd still have these important pictures and videos. There is one (I hope) bit of strangeness about this system.I was initially using a Promise FastTrack 100 (pdc20267 chip) card. Since I was having problems with this, I recently got a cheap Maxtor adapter card. This Maxtor card looks to be a relabeled Promise card with the pdc20269 chip. The problem below is the same, regardless of which card is used. The system disk is connected to channel one on the card. The other two disks are master and slave on channel two. This is what FreeBSD shows on boot: == atapci1: Promise TX2 ATA133 controller port 0xe800-0xe80f,0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe007,0xdc00-0xdc03,0xd800-0xd807 mem 0xd580-0xd5803fff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 ata2: at 0xd800 on atapci1 ata3: at 0xe000 on atapci1 [snip] ar0: 29314MB ATA RAID0 array [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad4: 29314MB IBM-DTLA-307030 [59560/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ar1: 29314MB ATA RAID0 array [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad6: 29314MB IBM-DTLA-307030 [59560/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 ar2: 29314MB ATA RAID0 array [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad7: 29314MB IBM-DTLA-307030 [59560/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA100 == I used /stand/sysinstall to create a slice on each of the mirror disks and to label each with one huge partition.

(Also kind of strange is that, while these drives are the same model, whatever one is the slave has 3737 cylinders, while the master always has 3736 cylinders.) If I try to edit the label of ar2 with disklabel -e (even if it did show the same label as ar1), I get the following error: disklabel: Operation not supported by device Any ideas about what's wrong or (more likely) what I'm doing wrong? Since I can mount the e partition on ar2, I'm guessing that the label info is there, but disklabel cannot see it for some reason. I guess I could just edit the label on ar1, then swap master and slave again, and edit the label on the new ar1 so that both should have fstypes of vinum. I'm not sure if vinum would work after this though. I'm assuming that I should be able to see the labels on both ar1 and ar2, so I want to try to fix this problem first.

re: glibc vs BSD libc
To David Brownlee: I doubt NetBSD 1.0 binary could run against a NetBSD 1.6 libc. They don't care much about binary compatibility. You could not even run a statically linked 1.0 app without some COMPAT_ option in the kernel, I think. when making such assertions it helps to be actually correct. while it is true that *any* old binary may require COMPAT_XX options in the kernel, netbsd supports binaries back to 386bsd for i386, with shorter periods of backwards compat for the newer plaforms. i have personally run 386bsd binaries on netbsd 1.5/i386. i just downloaded the netbsd/sparc 1.0 /bin/sh and: russsian-intervention ~ uname -a NetBSD russian-intervention.eterna.com.au 1.6M NetBSD 1.6M (_russian_) #719: Sun Jan 19 00:15:13 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/_russian_ sparc russian-intervention ~ file ./sh-sparc-1.0 ./sh-sparc-1.0: NetBSD/sparc demand paged executable russian-intervention ~ ./sh-sparc-1.0 $ ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 229 p0 Ss+0:04.48 -tcsh 284 p1 Ss 0:02.16 -tcsh 327 p1 TN 178:29.44 systat -w1 vm 14305 p1 S 0:00.07 ./sh-sparc-1.0 14308 p1 R+ 0:00.06 ps 17424 p2 IWs0:02.76 -tcsh 22292 p2 SN+ 12:38.86 top ie, that is a netbsd/sparc machine running a kernel that is only a few days old, and it happily runs the 1.0 /bin/sh.

(took long enough for /bin/sh to download!) however, i have in the fairly recent past (in the last year or so) run very old a.out dynamic sparc binaries on each of: - 32 bit sparc - 32 bit sparc64 - 64 bit sparc64 with 32 bit binary support when i was testing that the emulations work as LKM's. i think you will find that netbsd cares _a whole lot_ about binary compatibility. to claim otherwise is simply fallacy. .mrg.

Is the Kernel device config visual interface still necessary
When using the FBSD bootable CDROM to install FBSD the first thing to display on the screen is the 'Kernel configuration menu'. The handbook says to select the 'Start kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode' which takes you to the 'Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface' screen that always has 7 irq conflicts. The 7 conflicts are built into FBSD because the Nic cards the irq conflicts are on are all old style ISA cards, and just responding with a Q to quite without deleting the conflicts causes no problems. This seems like it's no longer necessary to stop at this screen and that at the first screen 'Kernel configuration menu' the 'Skip kernel configuration and continue with installation' option should be the one taken. My question, what purpose does the 'Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface' screen serve and can people safely use the 'Skip kernel configuration and continue with installation' from the 'Kernel configuration menu'?

Re: Cannot kill truss process

But now I cannot kill the truss process itself anymore, it's hanging there for a few days already. Do a ps axlp 65275; what's the WCHAN column say? It says stopev: # ps lwwp 65275 UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 1011 65275 1 0 10 0 268 136 stopev D pd- 0:00.00 truss jws -2 (jws) That looks like truss was being trussed :) I thought stopevent was what traced processes stopped at while the tracing process was working on them. Try running truss -p 65275 and see if it frees up. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Working on my spiffy test machine, I noticed that 5.0-RELEASE does not have a mount_msdos command. It's no biggie, I just used 'mount -t msdos' and got what I wanted, but I was wondering why this was missing? Is there a reason why it was removed, or is it some oversight? I doubt it's an oversight, as the man page is missing as well. Mostly curious, but I thought I'd point it out in case it was a mistake. afaik: [root@/usr/bin]uname -a FreeBSD ## 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #30: Mon Jan 20 20:21:37 EST 2003 [root@/usr/bin]mount_msdos usage: mount_msdos [-o options] [-u user] [-g group] [-m mask] [-s] [-l] [-9] [-L locale] [-W table] bdev dir and man mount_msdos brings up the manpage. Hmmm ... did you upgrade this machine from 4.X? The machine in question is a clean 5.0-RELEASE install. yes, more reseach shows that: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 184776 Dec 24 12:05 mount_msdos* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 394716 Jan 20 19:26 mount_msdosfs* seems that mount_msdosfs has replaced mount_msdos --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
