Sendmail rantlet
Greetings! I appear to be somewhat confused about the expected way to maintain a sendmail configuration. I very carefully created a file named /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc, configured it 'til it was "just so", and then did the expected make in /etc/mail. Some weeks later, I decide it's time to re-STABLEize myself, so I do the usual build/install/mergemaster cycle. Mergemaster said it wanted to mess with sendmail.cf, and I told it not to. I was rather astonished to discover that the installworld had overwritten my lovingly crafted `hostname`.mc with a copy of freebsd.mc. That seems (to me) to be almost as rude, or possibly more so, as overwriting rc.conf or passwd during the installworld rather than allowing mergemaster to do its job. Am I missing the point of the `hostname`.mc -> `hostname`.cf rule in the /etc/mail/Makefile, or is something seriously violating POLA? -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.8" / 37N 20' 14.9" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32 Free time?

Just to throw my results into the hat...

* Compaq SMART-2/P array controller, 3 x 4.3GB SCSI drives in RAID 0
* /dev/idad0s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
* Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/idad0s1e11G 951M 9.2G 9%/usr
shutdown now
umount /usr
dump ...
time rm -rf /usr/ports = 5m21s (before)
newfs -U /dev/idad0s1e
mount /usr && cd /usr
restore ...
time rm -rf /usr/ports = 1m29s (after)

Well, I don't mind the executables ending up in /usr/local/{,s}bin,
but I do fancy /etc/namedb as the --sysconfdir.
So I change the Makefile to contain --sysconfdir=/etc/namedb prior to
compiling BIND.
HTH.

usb0/1: Host Controller Halted Errors
My motherboard is a Abit KA7-100 using a Via KX133 chipset (686A). I have cvsuped to the latest 4.4 stable as of this writing October 2nd. Dmesg says it uses UHCI. I have 2 USB controllers on the mb, each with 2 ports. On a bootup the system seems to be fine (though this problem occured once during a new install).. but when I start a make install clean of some big program in the middle of the compiling I'll start getting error messages saying stuff like "USB1: Host Controller Halted", over and over and over, from the Kernel. The only USB devices I have hooked up to the system is a Handspring Visor USB cradle, and a webcam, neither of which are working during the compile. What causes this frustruating occurence?

SSH Problem
Hi, with 4.4-STABLE 010929, ssh seems to work unexpectedly - even when I have my public key in the target machine's authorized_keys, ssh aks me for a password (breaks a lot of scripts).
