Okay, it's empty.

Strange, why does .. lead you from /tmp/lost+found/#123456
to /tmp/lost+found/#123456, just as if cd wasn't executed?

Does /tmp/lost+found/#123456 contain another #123456? And
why does this cd lead you to your (root's) home directory?

Of course, because CWD is ~ now.

The best idea would be to copy the content of /root into
another directory first, then performing the rm operation,
and afterwards, if something went wrong, restore /root from
this backup copy.




Very strange... Just to be sure, are you SURE you reported
the paths (in the prompt) and the commands correctly?

lost+found

[PJ]

A couple of days ago I had minor glitch as my FreeBSD box on my local
intranet had an unexpected shutdown.
When I fsck'd on reboot I was left with a few lost+found directories
with #99 files. Most appeared inconsequential and could be deleted.
But there is one /tmp/lost+found that puzzles me. There are 3
subdirectories that act a little strangely.
[~]# cd /tmp/lost+found/#123456
[/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# ls
[/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# cd ..
[/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# cd #123456 this returns and empty directory)
[~]# ls (this returns the listing of the contents of /root

Whoops! What is going on? I'd like to delete this /tmp/lost+found/
directory but, being very wary, I don't want to take the risk (probably
none) to delete it since there is no indication that this is a symbolic
link and might delte the actual /root/ directory withoug getting some
information about this occurrence.
TIA.

The single fastest way is to post to Usenet using that address as a  
"from" address.  You should start seeing lots of spam within 48 hours  
of that.


Then once you start getting spam to that address use the "unsubscribe"  
mechanisms in the spam.  That not only confirms that the address works  
and is read by a human, but that it is read by a gullible human.  This  
will make that address a high value spam address.

I've had to endure these scans, myself, and I must say that they

local security scanner for vulnerable common opensource www projects

[Jeroen Hofstee]

I tried to find a program which could scan the local filesystem and 
extract a lists of well known
web projects (yoomla, wordpress etc), extract the installed version 
number and match it against
a database of known vulnerabilities. Similiar to portaudit, but then for 
the standard scripts users

install themselves. I was unable to find such a program in the ports.

Does such an utilities exists for FreeBSD ?

I downloaded the latest drivers zip file from the linksys website, it 
includes 3 drivers for this chipset, a generic one, one for NT and one

Hi all

I'm trying to get a Linksys WPC54Gv5 wireless pccard working. It has a
Marvell 8335 chip. I've created a module with ndisgen and I can see
ndis0. When I up it with ifconfig I immediately get repeated messages:

Apr 28 23:23:19 pcbsd kernel: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:";
throttling interrupt source

As soon as I down the interface the messages stop.

I've also tried starting ndis0 with polling

# ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.20 polling

but still get the messages. I guess this driver doesn't support
polling.
Or I've got the syntax wrong.

That command is not currently efective at all for ndisX(I yet have to
see if it is possible).


According to vmstat -i irq11 is used by cbb0 and pcm0. ndis0 is on irq9

irq9: cbb1 ndis0++

This is on PCBSD 7.1 which is FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE

Any way I can get this thing working?

Try yo disable cbbX if you dont use it or enable MSI for pcm0 (if
possible).

This is a pcmcia card in a laptop so cbb is needed :( There is no
reference to msi in the pcm man page so I guess it is not available for
this system. (Paul I saw a post from you on multimedia about msi in hdac
and sure enough there is a reference to msi in snd_hda(4) man page). Am
I looking in the right place?

msi for snd_hda(if that is your sound driver) should be enabled by default
on CURRENT (dunno about 7):
hint.hdac.%d.msi=1


my driver is snd_t4dwave and msi is not mentioned in the man page. Does 
that mean it's not available?




You could try to use different dev.ndis.0.InterruptNumber for ndis0.
Changing it via sysctl is not supported, you will need to modify right
line(s)
in inf file, or in .h file generated with ndiscvt(1) via ndisgen(8)

Dunno if that will work  (never tried)


Tried, doesnt work. Polling could be enabled if miniport driver for your
card supports it, look output of sysctl dev.ndis.0


no reference to polling in sysctl dev.ndis




hmm not looking good so far
