How to add a language to gtkspell
I use gtkspell in combination with sylpheed. I can choose from 20 different English dictionaries that, apparently, come with the package. I would like to add Dutch (just 1 will do), but have no idea how this can be done. Note that I do not want to make the entire OS bilingual - I just want to enable gtkspell to use the Dutch language. thanks, -- Johan Spee ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using ifconfig to change channels using FreeBSD 6.0 on a Netgear WG311v3 wireless NIC
Hi, I have compiled the FreeBSD driver from the Windows 2000 files by running: ndisgen WG311v3.INF WG311v3.sys After working through the simple wizard and selecting the defaults, I ended up with a kernel module called: WG311v3_sys.ko Then I loaded it by running: kldload ndis kldload WG311v3_sys.ko I could then run: wicontrol -i ndis0 to see the following: NIC serial number: [ ] Station name: [ asc1 ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ my_net ] Current netname (SSID): [ ] Desired netname (SSID): [ my_net ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ 3fff ] IBSS channel: [ 3 ] Current channel:[ 1 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 0 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 1 ] Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc):[ 1 ] MAC address:[ 00:0f:b5:85:87:f0 ] TX rate (selection):[ 0 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 1 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold:[ 2346 ] Create IBSS:[ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ Off ] TX encryption key: [ 0 ] Encryption keys:[ ][ ][ ][ ] Now, if I try changing the current channel by using this command: ifconfig ndis0 channel 11 All this does is change the IBSS channel to 11, not the current channel.

Many ports fail if you try to use extravagant make flags like what you
would use with Gentoo.
I can't say I've ever seen anything like that myself, but I tend to set most
of them in make.conf like this:

using freebsd for a router
I dont want to start a flame/war here...but was *just* wondering... I currently use OpenBSD-3.8 for my router (T-1 with many statics) and then use FreeBSD-6.0 for my servers (web/mail/DNS...)

It seems that the 'pf' that comes with FreeBSD 6.0 is equal to that within OBSD 3.8.

FreeBSD afaik will perform just as well in your situation (assuming nothing out of the ordinary), but just be sure to disable at startup any and all services you don't want/require (ie: sendmail).

Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Micah, Would you please list a cite that the nv driver is open source? There is also another site here: http://news.com.com/2061-10795_3-5762319.html although I will admit this is 5 months old - please cite a more recent article where nvidia has reversed their policy? As Mike Harris eloquently said a couple years ago: Nvidia doesn't release their technical specifications for their hardware to *anyone*, not even under NDA (non-disclosure agreements). One might be tempted to think well you have the source code though right?, however the source code isn't enough. None of the video hardware registers are documented, instead they are programmed as a series of random magic numbers, so you have absolutely no idea what the purpose of a given register is, that is getting written seemingly random information into it in the driver. The driver is for all intents and purposes obfuscated unless you have the hardware documentation which turns numbers like 0x3432 into a useful name like NVIDIA_SUCH_AND_SUCH_REGISTER with documentation of WTH that register actually does. That's the long story, the short story is, that even though the nv driver is open source, it is more or less supplied as-is and the only way it gets updated is if Nvidia updates it, because nobody outside Nvidia has the foggiest clue how their hardware works. So if a card isn't supported, that's unfortunate. If 2D doesn't work, that's also unfortunate. By reporting bugs that occur in the nv driver to http://bugs.xfree86.org, the bug report will get assigned to Mark Vojkovich, who is the official driver maintainer, working at Nvidia, who has access to pretty much every Nvidia card ever made, and the technical specifications to go along with them. If he can't fix the bug, then more or less, nobody can. Not without getting hired by Nvidia to work on the 'nv' driver. ;o) Micah, if this has changed, please cite where. I myself also happen to have a system with an onboard nvidia card so I really am interested, not just trying to flame-bait. I think I understand your claim. Source code with an open source license is not Open Source unless it is actively maintained by someone and has freely available specs. Under that criteria, I guess NV isn't open source.

RE: FreeBSD 6.0 GENERIC Kernel perfomance
Dmytro, Instructions for updating the ports tree are in the handbook on freebsd.org Please understand that the ports directory tree distributed with the RELEASE cd's is always out of date. I never install it when I install a RELEASE. I always use cvsup to download the current ports tree after installation. I just setup a P4 3.2Ghz system with a gig of ram and mirrored SATA drives, and I ran the mysql benchmarks on it, and they are quite a bit faster than any other systems I have. Please post mysql benchmarks on your system, or post any other benchmarks that you think are indicative of kernel slowness? I will run the same and we can compare to see if there's a difference.

And, as well, 6.0 works right with the set of ports come with it in distribution inly. Nearly any new port can not assemble with differnent errors, mostly like: The version of library XXX is installed, it's conflict with XXX-1, please do pkg_delete, and pkg_add then.

Configuring For Cache Name Server
If I understand this correctly, if I want to enable a cache name server, all I have to do is the following: In /etc/rc.conf enter: named_enable=YES named_flags=-u bind Run this command: # cd /etc/namedb # sh make-localhost I enter the address: 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/resolv.conf file ahead of any other entries. I do not have to modify the /etc/namedb/named.conf in any way. I can then either reboot or start the program manually. Have I gotten that all correct? OK, then why is it that the nameserver 127.0.0.1 gets removed on every reboot of the system and the nameservers of my ISP are inserted. Actually, I never removed them, I just placed the new one ahead of them. There is also a search entry in the file. If I remove it, it also gets rewritten upon boot-up. Maybe I should mention that I am employing DHCP presently to obtain a lease from my ISP. Is there something I need to alter in order to get this to work. If I cannot be done, it is no great lose however.

dhclient doesn't know that you want to use a local cache, so it does
what it does - gets resolver addresses from your ISP.
Put this in your /etc/dhclient.conf:
interface hme0 {--- Change interface name accordingly...
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
And try again. I believe, but haven't tested it, that you can use
prepend instead of supersede is you wish to keep your ISP's resolvers in
case your cache fails - but don't quote me on that! ;-)
As for search order, use prepend:
interface hme0 {
prepend domain-name your.domain.here;
}

FreeBSD Wireless Acces Point
I just picked up a LinkSys WMP55AG, and installed it. I added the wlan and ath options to the kernel and rebuilt it with out fail. I'm running 5.4-STABLE, and this machine is my gateway. It already had 2 NICs to handle this. I know want it to handle any wireless traffic as well. I've searched for Wireless Access Point HOW-TOs, and they all seem to have out dated information. Suggesting commands that are depreciated. None of them show how to set this up in /etc/rc.conf either, so everything runs at boot. Does anybody have a recent HOW-TO that will help me set this and wireless security up? Or any sort of notes anybody's used in the past. Thanks in advance for the help.

Troubles getting firmware for ipw (wifi) driver to load
Hi list, I'm trying to setup wireless networking with WPA for my Dell Inspiron 510m, which is equipped with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI NIC on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. I'm following this guide: http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/wireless/article.html (Also with the handbook chapter on wireless networking on the side) I am encountering troubles when executing the command ifconfig ipw0 up scan, it doesn't list any APs at all. Looking at my dmesg output, it seems that ipw0 needs a firmware. ipw0: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI mem 0xfcffe000-0xfcffefff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci1 ipw0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:f1:52:fe:88 ipw0: Please load firmware Not knowing exactly what that meant I checked ipw(4) and it does indeed say I need ipwcontrol to load the firmware. I found this in the portstree at net/ipw-firmware, but it won't install saying: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware# make install clean === ipw-firmware-1.3_4 ipw(4) support is already included in your tree. === Cleaning for ipw-firmware-1.3_4 Yet ipwcontrol is nowhere to be found (tried to locate it with an updated DB, but no luck). It's not there in the output of pkg_version either. I did however CTRL+C right after the options screen when trying to install this port the first time because I forgot to check the option. Maybe this broke things, but I did try make clean / make distclean / make config to try ti fix it but alas.. maybe it really isn't supposed to install. So this leaves the question, how do I load the firmware? Should I manually download the thing, or is there some way I can make the port work? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mysql 5.0 on FreeBSD 5.3
I went to upgrade mysql from 4.1 to 5.0. I updated my ports (no problems), but when I ran: pkg_add -r mysql50-server I get: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest/mysql50-server.tbz: File unavailable I looked at the ftp site, and there is a 5.4 directory, but not one for 5.3. So, I assume I need to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.4 before installing this port. Is that correct? If so, what is the easiest way to do this? I checked google and the docs, but all guides I've found seem to indicate you need access to the machine to put in CD's etc. My server is about 100 miles away at a colo, so I'd like to be able to do it via ssh, if possible. Is upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 a big job? Or is there something simple I'm missing? I've read on the mailing list about just specifying RELENG_5_4 in your cvs-supfile file. I tried this using the following cvs-supfile: -- *default tag=RELENG_5_4 *default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all -- And it just deleted all but a few of my ports in /usr/ports when I run cvsup.

It's used to drive timers and periodic events, including scheduling. Keep in mind that modern computers are roughly 10 times faster than they were a few years ago. Something that runs every 1/100 of a second is actually waiting for 10 times as many CPU cycles as it was on the older machine, which means that it may be working proportionally less efficiently on the new machine.

dvd-ripping to iso on freebsd ...
Hello, What is a tool I can use on FreeBSD to rip dvd movies to _iso_ ? Every document I see refers to vobcopy, which is not what I want, as I want single-file iso dumps of the dvd. Simply reading the device itself with `dd` (and perhaps piping it to libcss or whatever) is also not acceptable, because I want very much to remove macrovision and prohibited user actions (PUAs / PUOs) as well. I have always used dvd-decryptor under windows and it has worked great, but I would like to just do it in FreeBSD in the shell, with a command line.

Yes it is. That's why I have kern.hz=100 in my /boot/loader.conf . Have you been able to measure a performance benefit from reducing it? Have you shown that reducing it does not cause your performance to *drop*? It was increased for a reason..it actually increases performance on some workloads. Yes, I guess it increases performance on a high throughput webserver or router that uses polling. But on the Desktop it only increases the overhead without any benefits at all. 2000 interrupts per second per core for the timer is a ridiculous high number and I reduce it simply for aesthetic reasons. This may be a religious issue and everyone should use what he or she seems fitting. -- Markus ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to have sshd log IP numbers instead of reverse lookups
I was looking at /var/log/auth.log and saw an entry of the form: Nov 24 18:41:37 ns sshd[58083]: error: PAM: authentication error for username from example.com I wish to have an IP number logged where sshd has instead logged 'example.com' Reading sshd's man page and sshd_config's man page, I don't find any way to control this. Since 'example.com' could have multiple IP numbers, how can I change sshd's configuration to log the IP number from whence the authentication error originated? Thanks!

how do I feed a script conf file variables on the command line ?
Ok, let's say I have a shell script named script.sh, and script.sh sucks in a file /etc/file.conf that contains nothing but variable declarations like: SETTING1=setting1 SETTING2=setting2 and so on. Very simple. My question is, what if I want to feed the script a setting on the command line ? Normally I run the script: script.sh -x -v -e -r and it looks for /etc/file.conf and sucks in all the variables. But I want to: script.sh -x -v -e -r SETTING1='setting1' for some reason this is not working. I am in the FreeBSD csh shell when I attempt this (FWIW). I just want to be able to quickly bypass the conf file, using a single command line.

License Question
Hi All I'm new to this forum. I am a bit confused about the FreeBSD license and keep getting conflicting answers from different people. Would like to know you guys think. Here goes. If I make modifications to FreeBSD and then distribute it (the modified FreeBSD) to others: 1. Must I provide the source code or can I choose not to? 2. Must I license it under the FreeBSD license? 3. Can I license it under my own terms/license? If so, must I reproduce the FreeBSD copyright notice and the disclaimer and if so, where? 4. Who owns the copyright to my modifications, me or FreeBSD? 5. Must I contribute my modifications back to the FreeBSD project or can I choose not to? Appreciate your feedback. Mano - Yahoo!

I just want to be able to quickly bypass the conf file, using a single command line. Try env(1). env SETTING1='setting1' sh script.sh This should work much better. In fact, it's the same trick I use in my local networking setup scripts. Instead of hard-coding everything in /etc/rc.conf, I have something like this: flame# cat -n /root/netstart-home.sh 1 # 2 # Set up network interfaces for my home network. 3 # 4 5 export ifconfig_ath0=DHCP ssid gker \ 6 wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXX' 7 export defaultrouter=192.168.1.2 8 9 # 10 # Make sure the bge0 interface is brought down and then up again, 11 # with the new IP address. 12 # 13 /etc/rc.d/netif stop bge0 14 /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0 15 /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0 You can see around lines 5-7 that I'm setting stuff in the environment, which will be picked up by the /etc/rc.d/netif system script. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
