Cryptodev fails because it checks that the requested crypto driver provides hardware crypto. function "checkforsoftware" in cryptodev.c And it does not take care about the sysctl kern.cryptodevallowsoft.

I asked for this some times ago without any reply. Finally I added some
printf in the kbd driver. I don't remember exactly where, I think it was
in the function genkbd_keyaction() in kdb.c (something like printf("%i
- ", keycode)
That's ugly... Is there a better way to get the scancode?

No, if -e is provided, watchdogd execute the command 'cmd', if the
command succeed it resets and restarts the watchdog.
Without -e, watchdogd tests a stat("/etc",xxx) syscall.

If the watchdog is a hardware watchdog, you will not get any log or
crash dump, just a hard reset.
Which watchdog are you using?

Just to be sure :
You should not use printf() in a signal handler, it is not
considered 'signal safe'.

moused(8) is able to mix several mice.
You can use devd to call moused when an usb mouse is inserted, with a
rule in /etc/devd.conf like :
attach 200 {
device-name "ums0";
action "/usr/sbin/moused -a 5 -p /dev/ums0
-I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on"; };
In Xorg.conf, use /dev/sysmouse for the mouse device.
That's all.

By default, (the last time i tried Ubuntu) Ubuntu removes the bootmanager to put Grub. But with the "alternate" CD of Ubuntu you can choose to install Grub (or Lilo) on the Linux partition. For the bootmanager I use GAG, GAG is cool and very simple. I'm not sure is there is still an alternate CD for Ubuntu. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Freebsd-update and update of jails

To update my jails (from the main host) i make a buildworld and then : mergemaster -p -D /thejail make installworld DESTDIR=/thejail mergemaster -D /thejail How i can use binary update and then update the jails?
