Re: is there a way of usinf greo to find 3 or 4 blank lines?
I know its not in commandline, but in vim (maybe even vi) you could just /\n\n\n This would find new lines...

Re: Is there such thing as a 'soft checksum' tool?
M> I'm looking for a pseudo-checksum tool for use with cataloging images. I've seen such tools advertised, but they were proprietary products and only worked on windows. One way you could approach it might be to use a blur filter to blur each of your images, and then to compare the blurred images. Small differences in individual pixels would be blurred away.

I am following the Handbook instructions for setting up a FreeBSD wireless host access point: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html r...@speedy# dmesg | grep ath ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) ath0: mem 0xff8f-0xff8f irq 21 at device 0.0 on pci1 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: Ethernet address: 00:02:6f:61:e6:7d ath0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 6 (2437 Mhz, flags 0x490 hal flags 0x150), hal status 12 r...@speedy# ifconfig ath0 list caps ath0=6783edcf I am able to set up an access point with no authentication or encryption. I verified this by connecting to my FreeBSD router from a Windows [wireless] laptop computer over SSH. It seems that the minute I try to turn WAP on (based on the instructions in the Handbook), things stop working. The steps I follow to enable WAP (after verifying that the host access point is working without encryption) are based on the instructions in the Handbook, and are as follows: 1. Create /etc/hostapd.conf: interface=ath0 debug=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=speedy.i wpa=1 wpa_passphrase=xxx3xxx3 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP TKIP 2. Add this line to /etc/rc.conf: hostapd_enable="YES" 3. Execute "/etc/rc.d/hostapd forcestart". I realize this is only needed for changes to take effect before rebooting the system. I also tried rebooting (with the line in rc.conf) but the results are the same. With WAP "enabled" (following the three steps above), my Windows laptop does not scan to find the "speedy.i" access point. Also, here are some things output by "ifconfig ath0" before and after I follow these steps to enable WAP: BEFORE ENABLING WAP (without hostapd): nlan...@speedy# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:02:6f:61:e6:7d inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated ssid speedy.i channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:02:6f:61:e6:7d authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 31.5 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 AFTER ENABLING WAP (with hostapd): r...@speedy# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:02:6f:61:e6:7d inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: no carrier ssid speedy.i channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g) authmode AUTO privacy OFF txpower 31.5 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 The output from "ifconfig ath0" above after WAP has been enabled differs significantly from the sample output in the Handbook.

Thanks, Mak. iT really *is* more difficult that grep can handle. I
could catch the
three newlines in C, but the string/line above the break would be
painful unless i
kept a linked list of linenumbers. too much like work:-)

Yes, this works just fine. I findthat there are about 130 places that
I need to
track... --yeah, i did over-do it in the time-breaks in my story.
Is there a way of printing the string/line in the `manuscript' file
along with the line
number? I'm well into a copyedit of the manuscript and would rather
not start over!
thanks for this.

Sed has the ability to pull into the current line the next line, appended and
separated by a "\n" character. It's hard to use correctly, I've found, and my
simple demo:
sed -e '/^$/{N;N;N; s/^\n\n\n$/===4 blank lines==/; }'
Does not quite work as I'd hoped. But hopefully it's enough to get you started.

Gary,
If I understand your question correctly (by no means certain), the
following may help. This is an awk script, which will print out the
lines in the source file at which it finds more than three consecutive
empty lines.
BEGIN {
ncnt = 0
}
/^ *$/ {
ncnt++;
if (ncnt > 3)
{print "Emphasis at: " NR;
ncnt = 0;}
next;

Once the port is installed, you can do: % pkg_info -Dx portname What is probably less known is that if you have the package tarball, you can run pkg_info on it *without* it being installed: % pkg_info -D ./portname.tbz There isn't a specific make target for displaying pkg-message -- it's generally done as part of the post-install: target, but that target also typically runs any of the scripts that should be bundled with the pkg. That's things like creating a UID to own files or processes, which is not necessarily something you would want to happen when just trying to see some messages.

Clock delays in FreeBSD guest VM on VirtualBox
Hello. I am running several FreeBSD(8.0-BETA3) guest VMs on VirtualBox on OpenSolaris. On all hosts, I am configuring & running ntpd. However, only one host (naming HostX) can sync the clock. All hosts except for HostX cannot sync the clock. (The time delays about 10 minutes in an hour.) What's the cause of this problem?

Kes, perhaps your kernel and userland sources may be out of synch?
I haven't hunted through CVS, but located a message in ipfw@ from
Ganbold with a patch proposing to add that very sysctl to ip_fw2.c
dated 1st September 2008 .. was that before or after 7.1-RELEASE?
Happy hunting, Ian

Root partition in single user mode can be fsck'd and repaired if mounted ro in single user. The system does fsck -p by default, which skips partitions marked clean. Since you can shutdown cleanly, nothing will happen.
