Actually, my best friend for 30 years comes from [ what was ] Yugoslavia; so he could surely help me with the translation. I think I have the k3b stuff actually workinng. As of late FFriday night, k3b ran thru all of its tests.That wasn't my question. I want to know more about what DVD blanks are good,better,best, and whether it is worth wasting a blank DVD in trying to copy a DVD that I borrowed from the library. I've googled arouund, tryiiing to get some kind of specs that an EE can understand ... even if he kknows nothing about figital video. I think that duplicating DVDs works like a charm on FreeBSD but I think there is a better software in ports for that of K3b which is kind a all in one generic GUI application. This is also a useful link http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html if you are trying to understand DVD business. There are definitely people on this mailing list or on OpenBSD mailing list (I do not remember any more as I am on both mailing lists) who have fantastic knowledge of DVD writable medias, proprietary Video Formats and various issues that come with that including the issues of regional coding and by that I do not mean just USA vs Europe or Asia. Even inside of U. S. where I have being g living for the past 12 years there are many different regional formats. I am clueless about it. Hm. There is a new protocol, DVD-ROM (or perhaps it was DVD-CDROM); so if there are even *more*, I'd be spinning my wheel s, trying to figure this stuff out in any depth. As a mathematician I am probably much less capable of understanding DVD technical issues than you. Isn't it more a matter of personal interest and time? I love math --and several other fields as well--but given the limitations we all have, learning sufficiently well (not to mention keeping-current:-), should give everyone pause. --Then there is the matter of living Life, and blah-blah-blah. Re the DVD stuff, I'd be happy to know some of the boundary conditions. And more practice and testing than theory. To be perfectly honest as a professional mathematician I am very concern with the status of TeX port and the fact that two years after teTeX was abolished by TeX community in favor of TeXLive there are no even indication that the TeXLive will be ported to FreeBSD. Even in the most crude form (4 packages) as it is done in OpenBSD would be better than noting. Of course the Debian way (30 or so packages) would be my preferable way as TeXLive is developing really rapidly in some areas. My knowledge of porting is unfortunately inadequate to be able to help with such a major project. teTeX is dead? After I met Don Knuth I really got into his stuff. But then, as mentioned above, LIFE hit me over the head, c. FWIW, Someone friom the OOo list posted a math site a couple days ago. The site deals with some of the things that may interest you. I'll find it--this one I moused and clicked nd snagged.

There are even alternative solutions for the Flash unless you want to play video games full of Flash! The only reason they didn't work for you is that you didn't know how to set up those features. Never the less if you fell more comfortably with Kubuntu stick with it. FreeBSD is not platform for everything and everyone. Personally, I find myself using more and more OpenBSD. So you have to use OS you are comfortable with and has a features you most desire (in my case enhanced security). Best, Predrag But I do like many things about BSD and would like to be able to move to it completely when I can have these features working correctly, so I will try your suggestions above and see what happens. neal. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

question about ordering of lines in rc.conf
It appears that the order of the *_enable=YES lines in /etc/rc.conf is important. I am looking at a HOWTO for HPLIP in which the author suggests adding two lines in a certain order. Since I recently had a problem with jabberd starting before myslq was ready to accept connections and I just found that jabberd_enable=YES precedes mysql_enable=YES in my rc.conf, I am wondering whether order is important.

The only time order matters in /etc/rc.conf is if you were to set the same variable at two different lines. In that case only the last value would be used. In particular the ordering of lines within /etc/rc.conf does not influence in which order various services should be started. There are other mechanisms which control that.

Can anyone provide an answer? I solved the problem I was having with jabberd but in a different way. /etc/rc.conf is parsed by the daemon's startup script. So, the order of things in /etc/rc.conf does not determine which daemon is started first. That is done in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Daemons are started in alphabetical order unless the startup script is preceded by a number but they also honor the PROVIDE and REQUIRE keywords which determines what has to start before a daemon can be started. So, if you need a daemon to start before another daemon, rename the startup script to begin with a number. See man 8 rc, man 8 rcorder, especially this: The scripts within each directory are executed in lexicographical order. If a specific order is required, numbers may be used as a prefix to the existing filenames, so for example 100.foo would be executed before 200.bar; without the numeric prefixes the opposite would be true.

I am looking at a HOWTO for HPLIP in which the author suggests adding two lines in a certain order. Which two lines? It shouldn't matter - any script that relies on variables in /etc/rc.conf should read the entire file for anything it's interested in *before* doing anything with those values. The first line of any such script should be something like . /etc/rc.subr /etc/rc.subr defines a function called load_rc_config() which is responsible for reading /etc/rc.conf (among other things), and making all the variables in /etc/rc.conf available to the calling script. It (the calling script) is then responsible for checking the values of any it is interested in. Some older style rc scripts don't source /etc/rc.subr or call the load_rc_config function, but handle finding their settings in a different way, but one which still finds all the necessary settings before doing any processing. Since I recently had a problem with jabberd starting before myslq was ready to accept connections and I just found that jabberd_enable=YES precedes mysql_enable=YES in my rc.conf, I am wondering whether order is important. Can anyone provide an answer? No - it is the values of the rcorder(8) block in each script that determines the order in which things are run. For older style scripts that don't conform to the rcorder standard, the name of the file determines when it is run, not the order that variables are defined in /etc/rc.conf.

Problem with NAT/RDR in PF
Hello All:
I am trying to configure a round-robin group of Name Servers that
respond on to and from a single address.
I want the following to occur:
1) DNS query from 10.211.128.1 to 10.212.1.1 is redirected to a pool
of name servers
2) One of the name servers responds to the query
3) The response shows a source address of 10.212.1.1, not the actual
name server
--
Here are the relevant configuration snippets.
vlan821_if=vlan821 # This is the physical interface of the Name
Servers
vlan6_if=vlan_6 # This is the physical interface of the querying
servers
nr_net=10.212.1.0/24 # Name Resolver network
mail_net=10.211.0.0/16 # Querying server network
nr_01_int=10.212.1.11
#Define table for Name Resolvers
table nr_roundrobin persist { \
$nr_01_int \
}
nat on $vlan821_if from $nr_net to $mail_net - 10.212.1.1
rdr on $vlan6_if proto { udp tcp } from any to 10.212.1.1 port 53 -
nr_roundrobin round-robin
pass in on $vlan821_if inet proto tcp from $nr_net to any
pass in on $vlan821_if inet proto udp from $nr_net to any
pass in on $vlan6_if inet proto udp from $mail_net to $nr_net
pass in on $vlan6_if inet proto tcp from $mail_net to $nr_net
--
With this configuration, when I do a host lookup with 10.212.1.1 as
the server address, I get this:
;; reply from unexpected source: 10.212.1.11#53, expected 10.212.1.1#53
So, it's my assumption that the rdr statement is working, but the
nat statement is not.
If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it greatly.
Regards and Thanks,
Mike

Re: SAS Controller again

Does aaccli allow for production-time online check and array rebuild? Any trouble? bye Thanks av. We use the Adaptec 3805 here at Juniper with great success. The 3805 and 15K SAS drives are damn fast. We are very happy with them, however there are a few caveat. * The Adaptec driver in FreeBSD 6.2 does not understand what a 3805 is. Adaptec has released an update to the driver in source code. It is on their web site. There are several people who work at Juniper who have the commit bit so we are going to try and get the updated driver into the tree before 6.3. In the mean time, in order to install 6.2 with a 3805 one needs to install the driver at install time off of a floppy or a USB driver. Then either copy the kernel driver into /boot/kernel or recompile the kernel with the new driver. It's a little bit of a pain but once it's you can forget about it. * The early versions of this card had a nasty bug in the firmware. When the card was put under a heavy load the card would stall and timeout. Adaptec has released an update to the firmware on their web site. The update is a bootable ISO image. Updating the firmware requires one to reboot the system with the bootable CD then updating the firmware using the supplied program. * Aaccli, which is in the ports tree, does not understand what a 3805 is. Adaptec has a replacement program on their web site but I have only played around with it and not spent a lot of time with this tool.

Re: copying DVD material :: somewhat OT. youtube-dl
Chris said: I tried youtube-dl but every url I tried gave youtube-dl: No match. eg %youtube-dl http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpIM3nBR2ZA youtube-dl: No match. You have to quote the URL: huff@ youtube-dl http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpIM3nBR2ZA; The shell parses http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpIM3nBR2ZA;, sees the '?', thinks it's a shell glob character, and does the usual thing. Which turns out to not be the Right Thing.

named mystery
Hello: I have two name servers for four domains. The primary name server is running FreeBSD v 6.0 and the secondary is running v 6.2. I have an MX record for each of the four registered domains. I have set up Postfix to act as a smart host mail hub (the MX host). One of the named record database is for one of the sites. When I try to send an E-mail from this message to list e-mail address. The messages bounce for dns lookup failure. The name that is being looked up is mxhost.domainName.tld.targetDomainName.tld Some how the two names are being mashed together and then looked up, causing the resolution failure. dig targetDomainName.com -t MX produces the record according to my ISP's name servers, which is the mashed version. Possibly they have it wrong? Someone is screwing up the lookup for this. There was a period missing after the MX host name record. I added that and rebooted the machine with the primary name server just to insure that named got the change and checked the secondary record and it has the change I did dig @targerDomainName.com -t MX and got my secondary name server responding. I checked the primary server to see that it is actually running at the time, it was and is. but the bak file on the secondary server has clip IN MX 10 host.domain.tld. $ORIGIN targetDomain.tld. /clip when the record on primary server is clip @ IN MX 10 host.domain.tld. /clip @ in this context should reference the domain this file is for. If anyone is a wiz at dns record and problems can you make any suggestions or recommendations? thank you in advance Jeff K ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cannot write disk....
People, I sent this update hours ago. I had a typo and it bounced. - Forwarded message from Mail Delivery Subsystem [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Maybe somebody can share some insights. k3b says that everything looks good, I can punch up the right places to read my DVD, but it refuses to burn. The first diagnostic says that /tmp/kde-k3d (?) didn't have enough room. This after the DVD was already read, which seems a bit strange.. So I moved the tmp space to /usr/tmp/kde-k3b. Again, it read the entire disc but again refused to write my blank disc. The diagnostics indicated that dd was faulting. So to be certain it wasn't a space issue I moved over to /storage/tmp/ where I've got 93GB free. BT. SAme thing. I've chowned cdrecord and cdrdao suid . I understand octcal better than characters. But I did a chmod u+s on both binaries. If not right, what is thee character and the octal (please) to chmod a binary suid?? I just build k9copy and will try it. (i Have a few other questions related to this stuff, but first, I'd just like to get k3b working.) thanks, gary PS: the only new thing of note is that now k3b thinks my blank in medium-sized and asks me to insert a double. I can't figure out if there is anyplace to do any more configs. And my Memorex DVD-RW discs hold up to 360 minutes. Nutshell, I'm wedged.
