performance problem in regex
Hi all, I've got some performance hit using regex in libc on freebsd 6.3. I've done some test whit the patterns that l7-filter [http://l7-filter.sf.net] use to recognize level 7 internet protocol. For example, with the skypeout pattern, regexec() takes more tha 0.1 sec to do its work. Is this a know problem?

Re: Setting up gmirror
Hello, I swear by gmirror, I had very good experience with it and will use it in the future again. I just need to find some time to attach the two identical HDD's to my via c7 system. Actually, you don't need two identical HDD to make a gmirror. It's just important, that the one, you add to the already created array, is not smaller. Some would also argue that having two identical drives makes the array more prone, since they may fail identically. This also happened to me once, and I lost data.

Re: mount_unionfs for jails
Hello, Here is what I am trying to do: mount_unionfs -o below /usr/jails/basejail /usr/jail/jail1 after I do that I edit /usr/jail/jail1/etc/rc.conf and add the appropriate entries to the host system rc.conf, but when I start the jail it starts using the settings from /usr/jails/basejail. I have the same setup and it works for me. Is my mount_unionfs syntax wrong, is this a bug in unionfs (man page says unionfs is broken, but doesn't specify how its broken) or is this expected behavior? It shouldn't be wrong. I have this in my fstab: /jail/base /jail/spl/nejcspl unionfs rw,noatime,below 0 0 (noatime option is completely optional, of course.) But, if I were you, I would update the RELEASE to STABLE. This will also fix some bugs in unionfs. However at least some other bugs still aren't fixed in 7-STABLE to this day (most notably the socket bug, which prevents mysql from running in a jail and writing socket file to /tmp/mysql.sock), so we had to MFC the patch from HEAD manually. If you need the patch, let me know. However, I don't suggest running jails on top of unionfs where you need decent stability (i.e. in production). I am writing thesis at the moment which also covers this topic. We also stumbled upon these issues: - socket file bug, mentioned before, still present in 7-STABLE, no ideas when it will be MFCed; - mv bug (see freebsd-fs archives for August 2008, me and my friend posted a few posts there) which causes troubles when moving directories (files would appear as gone and then reappear again) which exist or don't exist on lower and upper levels; - another mv bug which I discovered yesterday and seems to be very strange and hard to replay - I didn't even mess with the lower level, it seems that also just the upper layer can behave strangely sometimes (erros like mv: invalid argument when simply trying to move a big (10 GB) directory - the error was gone after I restarted the jail (i.e. also remounting the unionfs); - strange behaviour of some applications (apache in my case) not seeing the lower layer (/etc/hosts most notably) - we had to do touch (and then copy to all jails on change) on files we _really_ need to be visible. However, after we fscked our partition with unionfs directories, we weren't able to reproduce this error; - UFS filesystem would get to inconsistent state (we don't know exactly when) so some commands would behave strangely and fsck (see above) is needed in single user mode; - _most notably_: there hasn't been a single reply to our unionfs related problem reports and posts to freebsd-fs list. So I guess that people who are in charge for unionfs in FreeBSD aren't really responsive and that the future of unionfs in FreeBSD isn't really bright. It's a pity, though, since this is a very useful feature, especially for jailed systems. However, hope remains, that things will be fixed at least in 8.0 if not in 7.1. So, you can see that there are (still) many issues with unionfs on FreeBSD. Please let me know if you are able to solve your problem. Or else we can make this list a little longer. :) HTH, Nejc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mount_unionfs for jails
Hello, Well, it turns out that my problem was due to a typo in my host systems rc.conf. Thought so. Do you know if there is a way to reset the unionfs? I did notice this: It is called whiteout. When you delete the file which is on lower layer in unionfs, you actually create a file of type whiteout on the upper layer, which tells you that the file is not there. So it is a mark for a deleted file. To reset it, you just need to delete the whiteout. You can do this via rm -W. Actually whiteouts seem to be a nice solution but sometimes you'll run into interesting problems. When you try to upgrade jails, for example. Also, the problem is, because very few programs support whiteouts, for example find utility doesn't know about them, so you have to reimplement it (we made a shell script). We have created a lot of scripts which can do a lot of stuff with jails and unionfs on our server. If you are interested, let me know.

Re: growisofs non aligned DMA transfer (7.0R)
Hey, I wanted to add a file to an already written DVD+RW (written a day before on the same system) with # growisofs -M /dev/cd0 -r -T -J -joliet-long -v directory This produced tons of error messages via syslog as Jul 11 13:45:30 rebelion kernel: ata0: FAILURE - non aligned DMA transfer attempted Jul 11 13:45:30 rebelion kernel: acd0: setting up DMA failed and the only way to get the system back to a usable state was rebooting it; this is with FreeBSD-7.0R; what I have done wrong? I have the same problem on all my 7.0-RELEASE servers (I use growisofs to make backups to DVDs). It seems that there was something done in 7 kernel that breaks growisofs when trying to use multisession. Any ideas when/if this will be fixed?

Are You Looking For A More Effective Way To Advertise?
Are You Looking For A More Effective Way To Advertise? For those of us trying to promote our business, service, product or whatever else, it#039;s a constant job to advertise. Some of us have found some really superb ways of advertising and some are still dealing with some trial and error issues. But when people ask me about a few good ways to advertise one of my suggestions is groups like MSN, Yahoo or Google. These groups allow you to advertise whatever it is your selling, easily, quickly and without stepping over that ever visible spam line. The last thing you want to do when advertising your business or product is to annoy people by sending them spam-worthy emails! So what can you do on these groups? How does it work exactly? Well most likely you will need to find the category and subcategory of your business or product that you are trying to advertise. By taking the time to do this very first process your lessening your chances of posting spam. If you are selling car seat covers, the last place that needs to be is in the cooking section! Besides dodging spam related acts, you are also targeting your advertising by finding the correct category to post it in. That#039;s what you want! If you can#039;t find the correct category for what your advertising then you#039;re probably not looking in the right place considering these groups have literally thousands of categories and millions of subcategories! Although posting to groups is a good thing to do, it also can take up a lot of your precious time. So, then what? Well there are actual people that will do this for you!. They allow you to automatically post your ads on these groups, which saves you incredible amounts of time. You can pick when you want it sent out, which groups you want it sent to, pick the category and customize your ad to suit your needs. Sounds pretty easy right? Well it is! These people offer this service to you for a small one time fee. And, from the looks of it, this fee is pretty low considering what they give you! So, it#039;s easy, quick, and cheap? Yes! Here#039;s a couple packages I found on one site in particular: Ad Package number one: once a day ad/message submission (ads posted once daily for life). One-time payment of $25 nbsp; http://automatedblogs4cash.ws/ads4life Ad Package number two: twice a day ad submission (ads/messages will be sent two times a day for life) one-time payment of $30 Ad Package number three: three times a day ad/message submission (ads/messages will be sent three times a day for life) one-time payment of $45 Ad Package number four: four times a day ad/message submission (ads/messages will be sent four times a day for life) one-time payment of $50 nbsp; http://automatedblogs4cash.ws/ads4life Ad Package number five: six times a day ad/message submission (ads/messages will be sent six times a day for life) one-time payment of $75 Even if you want to just try the service out they allow you to buy a once a day ad just to see what sorts of results you can get with it. This seems pretty nifty to me. In fact, I am going to go and try this service in particular out, right after I#039;m done writing this! Again, your ad or message will be sent to over 300+ combined Google, Yahoo, and MSN groups for life. I#039;m sorry, but this is a fantastic buy and everyone should at least try it out! http://automatedblogs4cash.ws/ads4life --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups STAYIN HOME AND LOVING IT group.

Re: undefined symbol error from .so file after portupgrade

Shutdown now This will only drop you to single user mode with all filesystems still mounted. It is not a good idea to run fsck on a mounted filesystem... Instead, you need to run # shutdown -r now to REBOOT the machine with the newly installed kernel.

I think you're getting confused by the instructions (don't have a browser to hand so can't check the handbook, so apologies if this isn't the case). IIRC, the handbook suggests you drop to single user BEFORE you begin, in order to ensure nothing else is running while you run the build. In my experience, this has not been necessary. Even still, after the installkernel you MUST reboot the newly installed kernel before you continue. HTH Dan I thank you. In addition, I am quite sure the command we are referred to in 23.4.5 Drop to Single User Mode is in fact 'shutdown now' and not 'shutdown -r now'.

Software RAID options for a media server
Hi Guys, As my dream of a hardware based SCSI RAID root disk was so soundly dashed, I have been trying to figure out the most appropriate software implementation for a media server. Which sw RAID is best for streaming media? The options I have are: RAID1z, the redundancy is not my concern so much as performance over a network, but if the reduction in performance is negligible I may opt for it for fun. or RAID0 using gvinum, a far more complex option so I'd like to get an idea of its suitability. Otherwise if there are any other avenues please fill me in. I am at a loss on which way to go...

Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
One last post on this topic... Unless I find a miracle. Justin T. Gibbs, maintainer of the ahd adapter says: HostRAID arrays are not supported by FreeBSD - it requires a software RAID stack in the OS. XP has that, but we do not. So while ahd can identify the Adaptec card, and the devices attached, FreeBSD cannot utilise the RAID functionality of the card :( I hate definitive answers like this, but at least I know to stop fiddling. Thank you all for your help =^_^= ps. If there are any magicians out there willing to make HostRAID work with FreeBSD I profess my undying love now :p ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
Hi all, I am fighting the following hardware: MB: ASUS p5b-plus (NON vista edition) Cpu: Core 2 duo 4600 SCSI Card: Adaptec 39320 (Unused Dell OEM bought from ebay) HDDs: 2xSeagate Cheetah 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI (posibly Dell OEM) Nb. The MB does not support PCI-X, but is backwards compatible to a standard PCI slot. On recommendations I have limited the throughput on the channels to 160mb. If you think any other pieces relevant let me know. I think this is probably just an issue with my not knowing wtf I'm doing, but to be optimistic lets assume the ahd module worked as there are no errors in dmesg; which device do I install to? I can not see see ahd0 in fdisk. There are alot of posts over the years reporting trouble with the Dell(Adaptec/Seagate) combiniation. The funny thing is that I am having none of these troubles; There are no panics, no dumps and no lengthy pauses. It all seems fine, until I try to select the disk to install to and I only have da0 or da1.

Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
Hi Derek, As mentioned in my post, I have configured the Adaptec BIOS (SCSIselect/HostRAID) to create a RAID0 array. The GENERIC Kernel natively-uses the 'ahd' adapter for this card, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ahdsektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE dmesg does not post any errors, it recognised the card as ahd0, and states that da0 da1 are on that bus. I can not post the dmesg as the NIC adapter needs to be patched once the OS is installed. I could find a USB key and copy it over if you like, but there are no errors to consider.

Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
Thanks Michael, I have already been through the SCSI Select/HostRAID ROM and configured the disks as RAID0. I am unfortunately at work at this moment, so I can not check ar0, however I seem to recall it is already taken by my ATA array. I had not mentioned this array as it is only for storage and the problem exists regardless of whether or not it is connected.

During boot (POST time before OS starts to load) you press CTRL-A (both keys together) to get into the Adaptec card BIOS. You can configure your drives as an array here. There is supposed to be a message on the screen but this message can be disabled by BOFH. Been a while since I've done this, but IIRC after creating the array and rebooting you would then install to ar0. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: {Spam?} Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?
Thanks for the quick reply! I created the array in the Adaptec BIOS and confirmed it with an XP installer disk, which gave me the option to install to the array as I had named it. I have to apologise for not having the actual dmesg handy but identifies the disks much like the example below, but with Seagate disks. It does not identify any striping or make any differentiation between the discs other than the target id. . da0 at ahd0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 da0: MAXTOR ATLAS10K4_36WLS DFV0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 35074MB (71833096 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4471C) da1 at ahd0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 da1: MAXTOR ATLAS10K4_36WLS DFV0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 35074MB (71833096 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4471C) Regards Derek Ragona wrote: At 07:14 PM 7/30/2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Derek, As mentioned in my post, I have configured the Adaptec BIOS (SCSIselect/HostRAID) to create a RAID0 array.

Is FreeBSD suitable for my thinkpad T61 ?
Hi all, I brought a new ThinkPad T61 for work, the hardware is as follows: T7300(2GHz), 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn(n-disabled), Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Intel Turbo, 9c Li-Ion, My current working involves scientific calculation and programming. I'm from a linux background(redhat, debian, ubuntu), but after some googling and comparison, I found FreeBSD more stable and I want to try FreeBSD. I am tired of a dual-boot system, so I want to just install FreeBSD or another linux distribution(maybe ubuntu) on my notebook. My questions are: 1) Can FreeBSD work well with my hardware? The display card, CDRW/DVDRW, wireless, Ethernet and battery managment are the most important. 2) I have read the FreeBSD Handbook. According to Chapter 10: Linux Binary Compatibility, it seems that FreeBSD lacks support of many commercial softwares such as MATLAB, Oracle, Mathematica. Is the linux binary compatibility stable enough for work ? Thanks a lot. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

getting iostat -x %b with php

I have done it. However, with more than one swap file, or a swap file and a swap partition on the same disk, there ends up being quite a bit of thrashing. This is due apparently to some interaction between having two swaps on the same disk but that is jut a guess, i dont know what the cause is. The idea behind having swap files is that swap space can more easily be expanded and added on the fly. If your initial swap partition was not big enough it is more easy to more swap in another file. As well, a swap file that can grow and shrink, also would allow you to avoid having a lot of disk space consumed by unused swap, so he disk space is allocated when needed, or allow more space to easily be added if you find out you do not have enough. With applications crashing because of swap partition running out, this would be an important feature, since more swap space can be allocated in a file which is easier to do than a partition. Swap is still important on systems with small amounts of RAM, FreeBSD should be able to run on some older hardware too and should not be like Windows where you have to have 2 GHZ 2 GB of ram to run it. dynamic swap space makes it more versatile which is a good thing Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Some ideas for FreeBSD
Dear FreeBSD Developers, I have a few suggestions for how FreeBSD can be improved in an upcoming release. My first is to allow for dynamically resizeable swap file of some sort, and via kqueue, a notification facility to notify a program when swap is about to run out, when a program has made a memory request which requires more swap space than is avialable, and when swap space is run out. There should also be commands that can shrink the swap files, and see how much is being used in the swap files. This allows for the user to write customised programs that can manage and allocate new swap space as needed. The OS can come with a standard version of such a program that allows a user to specify a maximum swap file size (including infinite). I have also run into problems with making multiple space files on the same disk, in trying to address these swap exhaust problems, which caused thrashing. I believe this happened to when the swap partition and a swap file were on the same drive. Perhaps a way should be looked at to have multiple swap partititions and files on the same disk. That could also allow another way for additional swap space to be allocated, but I dont know if having the possibility of a large number of swap files is less efficient than a dynamically growing swap file. There should also be a feature to see how much of the swap file is used. I would much rather have dynamically allocated and deallocated swap space so I do not have large unused swap space eating up the disk, than having to predefine the swap size. Another idea I have is for setting the Do Not Fragment flag on a per connection option for UDP connections, and a per connection option to disable UDP checksum. The third idea is for more of a move to Linux and, SUS , and POSIX source compatability in regards to additional features supported by these systems. I still in 6.0 run into some calls that are not supported by FreeBSD that is a real headache. I ran into this with posix_memalign in some software. Although posix_memalign is more modern, If it would be trivial to add support for linux specific valloc and memalign why not do so as well, to maintain compatability with older Linux software. It is better to just make FreeBSD be as compatable and for stuff to compile out of box, as possible than to haggle over conditional ifdefs and changing lines of code in software. thank you for your reading these suggestions, it is greatly appreciated.

Re: huawei e220 hsdpa on freebsd 6.3-BETA2
Your HSDPA modem presented itself like a mass storage device, probably
with
some autorun and virus like drivers intended for the Windows operating
system :-)
unfortunately, this is the intended behaviour. this device has the
ability to present itself as mass storage which will show up as a
cd-rom device where the windows drivers are stored on.
this is the way it works under windows:
- plug it in first time
- (auto)run the setup on the device for the win-driver
- as soon as the driver is loaded, the cd device disappears and a modem is
detected
but when loading the ucom/ubsa stuff before umass, the device will
not be recognised as /dev/cdX and show up as a communication device
(ucom).
of course there must be a way for getting the serial device working,
because this is one of the most sold umts/hsdpa modems across eu and
many people run it under linux as well (there are no drivers from
the vendor provided except windows and mac).
i'm pretty sure there is some message or anything else which will
render this device switching to serial mode.
there is some code, which i found (doesn't compile/run under freebsd)
which puts this device in pure serial mode. maybe someone out there
is able to tell me, how/if this can be done on freebsd as well?
(btw, i'm not a c-guru)
do you (or anybody else reading this) have an idea, how to get this
device working and put it in serial mode completely ?

huawei e220 hsdpa on freebsd 6.3-BETA2
hi folks,
i've got a huawei e220 hsdpa modem, which is connected
to a hp nx8220 notebook (ICH6 usb controller) w. 6.3-BETA2.
i tried GENERIC as well as custom kernels.
this is my current situation:
- custom kernel with just [u,o,e]hci and usb(4) support.
(removed all other usb device support except keyb/mouse)
- patched ubsa as beyond
- loaded ucom(4)
- loaded ubsa(4)
- left out umass(4) or loaded it AFTER ubsa/ucom
dmesg-cut when plugging in the E220 in this scenario:
ucom0: HUAWEI Technologies HUAWEI Mobile, Rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2
ucom0: Could not find interrupt in
device_attach: ucom0 attach returned 6
the patches (/usr/src/sys/dev/usb is base-dir):

i really NEED this device to work with freebsd so is
there anybody out there who had such a problem and

Advanced Routing/Firewall Interface Options for FreeBSD 7
Hello, I am trying to combine my file server and router into a single box. Before you tell me this is a bad idea, let me remind you this is a personal installation (not intensive file serving) and the machine and NICs are fairly beefy. FreeBSD 7 supports ZFS. From there, NFS and Samba are easy. I've been using Solaris for this, but it's rather archaic in many ways, and the only reason I use it is for the stable ZFS support. Everything else in Solaris - given my needs - is a poor match. Can anybody suggest what options there are for having a router/ firewall configuration interface placed atop FreeBSD 7 with ZFS? I want something along the lines of pfSense (GUI for traffic shaping, hopefully setup a simple VPN) that can also serve files and perhaps run some software that puts free CPU cycles to use. Maybe I might run Apache/MySQL for testing a few sites locally. Any ideas? pfSense is not designed to work atop a standard FreeBSD distribution, nor is m0n0wall, and even if I used or modified their integrated distribution, I suspect it lacks ZFS support. -Galen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BSDs support for NTFS read-write (using ntfs-3g)
I am newbie of FreeBSD and I have been trying to learn other O/S and I have chosen OpenSUSE and using it for quite some time, would like to try others, example FreeBSD, PC-BSD or DesktopBSD. Before anythings, I do some reading and found out that the read-only support for NTFS partition, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BSD_operating_systems (at the Technical Information section) However, the NTFS partition is still important for me with read/write access by any new O/S, due to my main storage of my data files are in NTFS partition (external harddisk) that will then be connected to other computer (Microsoft Windows). Could you please advise me whether the ntfs-3g command can be (ported) used in BSDs for read-write access to NTFS. Thank you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

php failing
uname -a localhost 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE#0: Thu Aug 30 13:20:27 UTC 2007 root@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VIL i386 I have been using apache, PHP and mysql for years with no problems. I just suffered a computer crash and my backup failed, so I had to reinstall. However, now I have a problem. I tried pkg_add -r php5 and the latest PHP5 from www.php.net(www.php.net used to work, but that was before php5 existed). If I access phpinfo() with my browser, it fails. When I try to run a PHP script, I get the error: cgi error: The following CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did not return are: This error message means PHP failed to output anything at all. To get to a sensible error message, change to the PHP executable directory and run PHP -i. If php has any problems running, then a suitgable error message will be displayed which will give a clue as to what needs to be done next. If you get a screen full of HTML codes, then PHP is working. Once PHP is working on the command line, try accessing the script once again. If it still fails then it could be one of the following: *The file permissions on your script, php.ini, or any extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user ISUR_machinename cannot access them. *The script file does not exit (or possible isn't where you think it is relative to your web root directory). If the script does not exit then the server will return a 404 error instead. I didn't get the 404 error, so I think my script exits. When I typed PHP -i, I received 4 pages of HTML code. This means PHP works. I tried phpinfo() from my browser and still nothing. I have been fighting this for 3 weeks and reinstalled many times. I tried this on FreeBSD-5.4, 6.1 and 6.2. All three operating systems produce the same result. I found out that apache runs in a jail and uses chroot. I added the directory it says and still nothing. This is where I get stuck.

Re: /bin/sh vi mode command line editing and the period
i just do the following: clear /bin/sh EDITOR=vi export EDITOR set -o $EDITOR echo 1 echo 2 echo 3 echo 4 ESC-. I tested the command sequence you gave and the result was as you explained. What caught my attention, however, was that all the commands were builtin. I tested with non-builtin commands (eg. /bin/echo instead of echo) and ESC-. did nothing. In fact unless the last command was a builtin, ESC-. just repeated the last _editing_ action. This is not a desired behaviour however IMO, to repeat the last command (if builtin) upon a ESC-. on an empty line. Please correct me if I'm wrong. well, now i did this: /bin/sh EDITOR=vi export EDITOR set -o $EDITOR echo 1 foo echo 2 foo cat foo foo1 cat foo1 foo cat foo with this result: test# /bin/sh test# EDITOR=vi test# export EDITOR test# set -o $EDITOR test# echo 1 foo test# echo 2 foo test# cat foo foo1 test# cat foo1 foo test# cat foo 1 2 1 2 test# test# echo 2 foo test# cat foo foo1 test# cat foo1 foo test# cat foo 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 test# i took care that foo and foo1 did not exist prior to testing! but i'm still not sure whether i should file a PR or not. my assumption and expectance for ESC-. would be: (regardless whether the input line is empty or not) - ignore the key completely - execute the last executed command again (ignoring the content in the input buffer) still, it's risky, maybe the command should not get executed but pasted into the commandline like with ESC-- (minus). executing should also be fine - if it's just the last command and not the whole history. this is not a feature - for me it seems to be much more than senseless. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
