Re: BTX errors on Intel SR1200 following gvinum ?crash

2008-07-04 Thread David Adam
It looks like the problems I experienced below were due to creating a 
vinum volume starting at offset 0, instead of offset 16, thus overwriting 
the bootloader. I realise this is documented - apologies for the noise.

 32 should be OK, but we haven't had access to such a machine yet (we briefly

Hey Gary,
i think you are looking for the equivalent of  some software in Mac / OSX ...
from adobe maybe? i have an image in my mind of a font portfolio...  Corel had
(has? havent touched it in a decade+) a similar tool in Win32..

anyway, I assume you have used xfontsel, which seems to do what you want but
uses rather old style widgets.

Are all the file types you need supported by xfs ? If so, just install them and
access them directly from the font server... maybe even spend the time putting
together a PDF with the quick brown fox... in each font ? I wonder if TeX or
even some pdf library could be scripted to generated this automatically...

anyway... enough blabbering...

/usr/ports show the following promising tools:

x11-fonts/fontmatrix *
x11-fonts/gnome-font-sampler
deskutils/gucharmap *
print/fontforge (an editor, actually, but if u can edit, u can see them ;) )
print/gfontview
x11/xfd
x11-fonts/tkfont
x11-fonts/xlsfonts

there may be a few more..

* I am  installing these 2 now just to check them out.. gucharmap is ok,
nothing wow. I can't  tell how much coverage of all fonts installed it has...

let us know what you go with in the end..

Hi,

I try to use a FreeBSD machine as a gateway with 2 LAN, one WAN

All I want to do for the beginning is do NAT the whole traffic to the 
Internet. The whole traffic should be go directly to the WAN interface 
If one of the users want to, than he should be able to use the Squid. 
But as I said, they don't have to... at least for the beginning.


Now my problem, the only way to access the internet at the moment is 
to use the Squid. OK not bad, at least something is working, but not 
the way I want :-/


It would be nice if I could still access my SSHd after setting up the 
new pf.conf, which is working at the moment.


I have, in my sysctrl.conf, a net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 line and while 
booting up it is set to one.


My pf.conf is this.

ExtIF1 = ed0
ExtIF = $ExtIF1 # i know a bit useless
IntIF1 = ed1
IntIF2 = ed2
IntIF = { $IntIF1 $IntIF2 }
LocIF = lo0
scrub log on $ExtIF all random-id min-ttl 254 max-mss 1452 reassemble 
tcp fragment reassemble

no rdr on $LocIF from any to any
nat on $ExtIF from $IntIF1:network to any - ($ExtIF)
nat on $ExtIF from $IntIF2:network to any - ($ExtIF)

So any ideas?

mod_rewrite / comprehensive redirects

Dear all,

I know this is not Apache's mailing list, but there are so many experts 
here that I hope someone can help me. I have the following rule:


RewriteRule ^\.*$ /new/index.html

This redirects the base domain to a file called index.html in 'new' folder.

However, what I would really like to achieve is to redirect every php 
file to /new/index.html, which currently does not work.


I tried modifying the rule like this:

RewriteRule ^\.php$ /new/index.html

However, this rule matches nothing (or at least does not redirect).

How should I accomplish this? I just need to redirect all hits to 
/new/index.html until a new site is ready.


Many, many thanks in advance!

  What would be the best way to go about this.  I see with 1T words, it
  appears doable on current technology.  Maybe they should offer a
  snapshot on DVDs or disk as a fundraiser?  I'd drop $300 for some sort
  of officially licenced copy, I suspect there are other freaks that
  would too...
  
  When the world gets that bad, Wikipedia is the least of my concerns, 
  slightly ahead of who is winning American Idol. If it comes to 
 the point 
  the internet goes down for a long period of time, that $300 is better 
  spent on a garden.
  
  Just my thoughts.
 
 Actually . . . if things get that bad, you're going to need some
 firepower to protect your garden (and everything else you don't want
 taken from you by force).  To properly protect a garden, you'd need to
 make it a community farm, with community members who have and will use
 firearms to protect it (and your Wikipedia mirror).
 
 Of course, I greatly admire the impulse to protect the collected
 knowledge of Wikipedia from disaster.  It's also practical -- because it
 contains a lot of information that might be of use (including good
 subsistence gardening information, for those of us who don't have
 naturally green thumbs).
 

If the crash comes and you don't have 4 - 5 years of experience
running a garden on your land, plus your own well, your gonna starve.

Veggies are very particular as to the kind of soil they like, and the
light and water they get.  And it takes several years of trying different
ones to figure out the ones that do best in your soil.  And most modern
veggies are hybrids  and the seed is genetically engineered, and patented.
Many varieties are, in fact, sterile.  Many others require irrigation to
produce sizable yields.

To put in a heritage garden that will produce given the normally
occurring rainfall in your area takes someone with many years of
experience in your area growing gardens.  By the time you would
be able to get one going from info in wikipedia, you would have
died of starvation.

I tried modifying the rule like this:

RewriteRule ^\.php$ /new/index.html

However, this rule matches nothing (or at least does not redirect).

How should I accomplish this? I just need to redirect all hits to
/new/index.html until a new site is ready.



If that's what you want to do, make your ErrorDocument /new/index.html and 
leave the rewrites alone.

   I need to install the current version of Amanda (misc/amanda-client and

  Did you try to contact the port maintainer? You probably want to check
  with him/her before you update the port no?
 
  In any case, it's a good idea to update the port because we're going
  to need it here too!

 It's nice to contact the maintainer to ensure you don't duplicate efforts.
 But no need to ask permission to create an update patch. :)

I did contact the port maintainer, but he didn't respond at all. :(

Any help in getting this port updated would be greatly appreciated!

mount_nfs not accepting syntax specified by its usage complaint

2008-07-04 Thread perryh
How does this command:

# mount_nfs -dis -g 8 -I 512 -R 3 -r 512 -w 512 solomon:/var/spool/uucp 
/solomon/uucp

not comply with the resulting usage complaint?

usage: mount_nfs [-234bcdiLlNPsTU] [-a maxreadahead] [-D deadthresh]
 [-g maxgroups] [-I readdirsize] [-o options] [-R retrycnt]
 [-r readsize] [-t timeout] [-w writesize] [-x retrans]
 rhost:path node

And yes, I really do want to set the read, write, and readdir sizes
to 512 bytes (to get around a network packet-size problem to which
I can find no other solution).  The server is up:

# ping solomon
PING solomon (192.168.200.3): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.807 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=2.755 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.555 ms
^C
--- solomon ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 2.555/2.706/2.807/0.109 ms

and the mount point does exist:

# ls -ld /solomon/uucp
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Jul  4 18:34 /solomon/uucp

# uname -a
FreeBSD fbsd70.uucp 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 
2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I get the same behavior, with a very slightly different usage
message, from a 6.1 system.  The server is an ancient sun3
running SunOS 4.1.1-U1, but it looks as if the mount attempt
is not getting far enough for that to matter.
