does toor have passwd or not? According to logins -p: yes
I was checking for passwordless accounts with 'logins -p'. None was found. However, I understand toor doesn't have passwd by default, and I never touched it, so I expected logins -p to show toor, but it didn't. Just to check I also tried to su toor with root passwd - no access. Please can somebody clarify if toor does indeed have passwd. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I think it's an imap server. Anyway, I'm trying to get in touch with them. One of the problems is that the Uni are trying to implement a system where mail is never downloaded from the main mail servers at all. At least this is what I gather. So when users launch their mulberry (a typical Uni mail client) they connect to the mail servers, read and reply and whatever, but the data is just viewed on PCs and not stored there. I might be wrong, but that's my understanding. So programs like fetchmail that actually connect to their imap server and download mail to local boxes are probably not very welcome. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

fetchmail and plain text password
I use fetchmail http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-fetchmail.html to download all my mail from the Uni mail server to my fbsd box. I typically run it in daemon mode, which requires having my mail server password in plain text in .fetchmailrc I'm a little worried about the security of having my password in plain text on the system. Is there a more secure arrangement that would still allow running fetchmail in daemon mode?

Can somebody recommend a graphical port which could be used to teach kids 6-8 years programming? I know it's a very vague question, but what I have in mind (possibly) is say an interpreter linked with some graphical enviroment, perhaps drawing with commands, or making animations, or maybe music?

anybody uses Netgear WG311T PCI wireless card? any issues?
It's quite confusing trying to figure out which card is which. ath(4) only gives chipsets as AR5210, AR5211, AR5212 and AR5416. But the manufacturers rarely say which chipsets their cards are using. After some search I can see that Netgear WG311T is ar5212, so should be supported. But, just to double check, is anybody using this card?

'X -configure' is now successful. All I had to do is to move the graphics card to another pci slot. Perhaps where xvr600 was, is not a standard pci slot at all? pgx64 worked fine there in the text mode, but not in the graphics mode. So now I'm stopped with "Signal over range" message reported by the monitor firmware (?). The card seems to be detected, the scan frequencies I put are from the manufacturer's specs, but still something is wrong. I put conf and log files here: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/freebsd/xorg.conf.new http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/freebsd/Xorg.0.log I also get this on the console: (++) Using config file: "./xorg.conf.new" failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device ^Cfailed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device # not sure if this matters..

debugging slow network
I seem to have a very slow network connection at work. All local switches are supposed to be gigabit, and my network card is gigabit as well. But download speed seems to be much lower. I'm not a networks person, but I understand there could many factors affecting the speed. There appear to be a multitute of different network related commands just in base OS. Which should I start with to get some idea of the actual network speed? netstat?

If I've a xGB file and I need to delete the first and the last record, this becomes quite hard, if at all possible. I didn't appreciate it's not that simple. Perhaps I can read a file with C and write back?

editing a binary file
I'm creating binary files in fortran. Fortran adds 4 byte record delimiters at the beginning and the end of each record, which, in the case of a binary file, is just at the beginning and at the end of the file. I need to delete these record delimiters, because the software I use to visualise the binary files interprets them as data. But I don't know how. I've looked at hexdump and od, but those are only dumping (I think) file contents, and I cannot see how to edit a file with them. Any advice? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I was just stressed after being forced by him to explain why I wanted firewall exceptions for two ports to my FreeBSD portscluster nodes. I explained the reasons and that was settled. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the sole fbsd user at my Uni. The situation with computing is not great and getting worse. The Uni is, of course, addicted to Microsoft, but having realised all the problems with that, lately the policy has been to deny (!) MS users admin access to their own desktops. The situation is just ridiculous - if a MS user wants to install a piece of software on their PC he/she has to ask for permission, and then wait until some computer officer would come and do install for them. Also recently, well.. about a year ago, no host (!) could be accessed from outside the Uni firewall. Special exception has to be obtained even for ssh. There is only one dedicated sun server which accepts only ssh. The users are supposed to dial to this frontend server first, and from there to hosts on the local net. Honestly, the situation is so bad that I sometimes wonder - perhaps it's me who is mad. It seems IT services look at anybody who wants to escape MS with suspicion at best. I had to fight a long battle, well.. I had some support from other academics, to have a linux class in my Faculty. Here the opposition wasn't so much security, as "why would any undegraduate need linux", as if MS solutions are a pinnacle of human thought. And from I understand it's going to get worse. Apparently the IT services are drawing up plans to completely forbid use of "non-autorized" OS. I imagine fbsd will not be authorized. So I'm anticipating another battle already. Perhaps I should start putting together some statistics to make my case more forcefully. many thanks for your support, as always -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

open64 fbsd port?
Is there a fbsd port of open64 (http://www.open64.net/), or any branched project? In particular there is a mention of ORC (http://ipf-orc.sourceforge.net/) specifically for ia64, but the pages are very out of date. And then there's something called Aurora, which seems to be the same as ORC (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipf-orc/), but also *very* out of date.

how to play *.evo animations (EnSight proprietary format)?
I've several old *.evo animations. This is the proprietary format developed by CEI: http://www.ensight.com/envideo.html CEI have free players for MSWindows, MacOS and linux.

I realised that rsync from another box was overwriting $HOME/.Xauthority every time I sinchronised the two machines. After that connection to X server is refused because the data in .Xauthority doesn't match what the X server is expecting (is that so? not sure..). Logging out and on again creates a new .Xauthority file, and all is fine after that. Or perhaps the mechanism I described is not correct..

Re: Mutt /tmp full error when "trying" to read email
I get similar error when trying to open text/enriched emails. mutt creates a temprorary file under /tmp until it fills the partition, then I get /tmp: write failed, filesystem is full If I'm able to exit mutt normally, the file is deleted automatically. If I kill mutt process I can see huge mutt- file under /tmp. I reported this in http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2009-09/msg00502.html I think this must be a bug since text/enriched is supposed to be supported automatically in mutt.

Try using the plain x11 terminal, and see if that works better? yes, that works fine! Thank you! So the problem must be with wxgtk2-2.8.10_1 and wxgtk2-common-2.8.10_1 ?

on ia64 HEAD, gnuplot-4.2.6, any plot command hangs the program. top shows gnuplot is using 100% of CPU, yeat CPU time is zero: PIDUIDTHR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 60071 1001 2 480 98008K 51424K CPU11 0:00 100.00% gnuplot kill -9 60071, either from my account, or from root, has no effect, the process is still there.

glxgears on 8.0 current
In many online articles I've seen suggestions to use glxgears to check whether OpenGL is installed correctly.

You are given a choice of 5 passwords to choose from. If you don't like any, keep going until something comes up that's easy to remember for you.

It trurned out this printer is set up to accept direct HTTP connections, so I can print easily via web interface. LPD is disabled on this printer by the printer administrator, but SMB is allowed, so I think printing via apsfilter is also possible.
