Re: doom, quake, hexen...
games/quake2max is a good one...At least it was years ago when I tried it. I see nothing in the Makefile that will prevent it from building on amd64.

A precise message. Does not make me any happier. But at least it tells the truth from the beginning. games/quake2lnx even pretends to do something: it opens a tiny X11 window with some flickering rubbish and plays some farting sounds to the audio system. Is there any working 3D shooter in the ports collection my 8 year old son could enjoy? How about OpenArena? I'm currently playing it with pals via Internet. Okay, not at this moment, as I'm writing this message, obviously... :-) This is some multiuser game, isn't it? I was looking for something one could play alone, like Doom or Hexen. You actually have a series of levels to play against computer enemies (AI), but it's not that it contains a "story" like DooM or Quake. I have some WADs from the old DOS CDs and from BBSes. Try to load them with lsdldoom or prboom (I've tried both in the past). First make sure all your 3D stuff runs fine. Install "xlockmore" and test it with: % xlock -nolock -mode lament % xlock -nolock -mode fire Works fine? Yes, it does. In fact, I use xlock as my screensaver all the time. Very good, so there will be _no_ problem related to 3D, which often is the main issue for those games. Next consideration: Games in ports collection that run out of the box (even though I still have 8.2-STABLE/x86 here) include DooM 3 and Quake 4. If I wanted a linux game, I would use the linux notebook. I am very reluctant in install half-a-penguin on my FreeBSD box just to play a game. I also had to apply some tweaks to get those games running, it's at least not trivial. I've also tried RTCW, but except a grey fullscreen I get nothing. Music plays, I can move the mouse and listen to the main menu choices "clicking", but I don't see anything. For older DooM ports, I've successfully been playing DooM, DooM II and Heretic using lsdldoom port on a 300 MHz P2. Note lsdldoom also supports OpenGL graphics. Which port is it? "make search key=lsdldoom" finds nothing. Oh, it's "doomlegacy". I could also play Quake, Quake 2 from ports, and Jedi Knight II via wine. Oh, is there really nothing native? No, that game is far too old, but Quake and Quake 2 have ports (to native FreeBSD) which work very nicely with the original files from the DOS version. Still it was playable more than 5 years ago, so even considering the ongoing disimprovement, it should run today. :-) Maybe even other older DOS shooters (Duke Nukem 3D, Chasm, Shadow Warrior, Dark Forces, Blood and so on) could be easily run using a VM or emulator? -- Josh Tolbert h...@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.

I didn't try separate options for -f and -o. I've always just ran
single-letter options together and never had any issues. I'd be surprised if
that were the problem.
I ended up going back to portupgrade from portupgrade-devel and everything
seemed to work fine.

Is there any already-existing method for removing empty dirs through periodic?
Hello, A bit of backstory...I'm running motion (motion.sourceforge.net) on a machine connected to three analog IR cameras through three bktr cards in order to keep an eye on our vehicles. We've had problems with stereos stolen, tires cut, etc. motion is configured to write files out to the apache22 DocumentRoot, which makes it easy to view the videos. I've even got Apache doing neat things with HTMLTable, FancyIndexing, SuppressRules and CSS to make it not look horrible, but that's besides the point. The cameras write out their videos to subdirs like so: year/month/day/camera-#/hh-mm-ss.avi. This setup eats disk space fast. I've been using the clean-tmps daily periodic to remove all files older than seven days from the video location, which takes care of the space issue, but there's one more little issue. It leaves a lot of empty directories. I could just write a cron entry to take care of empty directories, but I'm hoping there's something I'm missing and there's a way to remove empty directories from the locations specified in daily_clean_tmps_dirs. If there's not, would this be a useful feature to add to the clean-temps daily script?

Fair enough; I generally prefer the xargs method in case I have to do any more
processing later. Also, xargs' batching may potentially save you a bit of
time, but I doubt that'd be noticable.
Thanks,

I am using greylisting (milter-greylist) and virus-filtering (clamav with clamav-milter) in sendmail, plus I have spamassassin available to the users via procmail (which is set as sendmail's LDA). This setup works very well for my users.

For what it's worth, I picked up two cheap ($7 and $11, respectively) bktr cards on eBay and they work fine. One's an old S3-branded BT878 card and the other had a fairly common brand, but I can't think of it right now. They work great with xawtv and the bktr driver. Sure, they don't have any hardware encode/decode features, but they do work. I've got a PVR250, an older one, that's also properly detected, but I've never tried to do anything with it.

It was Konqueror without (most of) KDE. Netraider still required Qt, but that's better than requiring Qt and all of KDE.

Unusual permissions on /var/named/etc/namedb/master?
Hello, I'm running DHCP + dynamic DNS here on my home LAN and I've noticed a problem that needs a manual fix every time the DNS machine gets rebooted. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. :) My firewall/gateway machine runs FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE of some patchlevel. It uses ISC DHCPD from ports to update my DNS server, another FreeBSD machine (now running 6.0-RELEASE) with new entries when machines register with the DHCP server. The problem arises because by default named runs -u bind, however /var/named/etc/namedb/master is owned by root. I believe this is caused by /etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist, since I'm running bind chrooted (the default setup). When the DNS machine reboots, I have to manually chown /var/named/etc/namedb/master (or /etc/namedb/master) to bind before updates will continue, otherwise I see errors such as named[297]: dumping master file: master/tmp-QQ2UU6pWaZ: open: permission denied Is there any good workaround for this issue? I'd like to keep bind running as the bind user as well as keep bind chrooted if possible. I know I could edit the mtree file on my machine, but that seems somewhat kludgy to me.
