I am quickly learning more about soft and hard links, and there is a

to different folders (as crazily OpenBSD does in the /usr/ports/packages

my system space getting eaten by ghost duplicated files.


mac - you need a basic unix book.  for now, read man ln


man ln on my night sleep table, as some unix pdf books I found online as

and

Any advice here?

Yep. Make sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear.
For somebody who obviously doesn't know very much you're a quite
offensive little prick.
And in so much of a hurry you can't take the advice given by experts.

Accusing OpenBSD developers of acting crazily is pretty stupid
really. They know what they are doing and you don't have a clue.

You have (I assume) two ears, two eyes and only one mouth (for which
your keyboard is a proxy): Try using them in something like the

Re : Formating errors on XkbBell man page [from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2008-09-06 Thread hyjial
Hi,
After having spend some time reading man (1) code, the following
proposal
comes :
Create a keyword for man.conf (5) - _ibuild for example - for lines
like : ``_ibuild - a letter - - associated command -''
The letter
would appear on the first line of the manpage file and
would be separated from
the leading ``{.,'}\'' by white spaces and single.
man (1) would accept both
(in fact, it would go to the first blank character
and start from there). This
would be triggered only in case of a
.[1-9n]{,[a-z]}{,.{gz,Z}} extension. man
(1) would insert the command
given by the ``_ibuild'' line right before the ``
{,|} /usr/bin/nroff -man'',
removing the trailing ``%s'' as needed.
Triggering
the in-file inquiry would be more easily implemented as
a config file setting
- a ``_iext (extension list)'' line -
As an additionnal possibility, why not
allow skipping in-file inquiry
for some directories - those in ``base'' mostly
- using an ``_iskip''
keyword in man.conf (5).
Suggestions ?
Personnaly I find
it a bit intrusive for man.conf (5).

ntpd can hang on boot

2008-09-06 Thread Peter Fraser
I stupidly screwed up my pf.conf, as a result ntpd -s which is invoked in
/etc/rc (as a result of my /etc/rc.conf.local) could not resolve the names of
the time servers.

ntpd hangs and cannot be interrupted. The only way to continue is to do a
hardware reset. I realize that it was my mistake but most of the other
processes started by /etc/rc can be interrupted.
I really do not like doing hardware resets.

As an aside, it was on my firewall. My firewall makes use of my dns which is
on the inside of my network, but during the booting process the pf.conf cannot
refer to a dns name that are define on the outside. The startup pf.conf built
into /etc/rc allows dns requests originating from machine being booted only.
For an external name, my dns has to pass a request though the firewall to the
outside dns server.
That cannot be done until the system is fully booted,


The solutions are:
1) don't use any external dns names in your pf.conf
2) have three stage bootstrap of pf,
   First stage, the code in /etc/rc
   Second stage, /etc/rc.conf.local has pf.conf to allow the inside
nameservers to pass though
   Third stage, /etc/rc.local has code to set the final pf.conf file
3) put all external dns names in tables that have their contents
   defined in /etc/rc.local (this is the one I currently use)
4) Modify /etc/rc to allow pass through of dns requests.
   The ones that should be allowed pass though would be the nameservers
   defined in /etc/resolv.conf (this is what I would like)

Re: Can OpenBSD run in 24 MB of RAM?

On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 10:00 PM,  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I've searched the FAQ and the Web for any guidance on what the minimum RAM
 is for OpenBSD, with and without X.

 I just acquired a Compaq Armada 1125 laptop that maxes out at 24 MB of
 RAM, and I'm wondering whether or not it's feasible to run OpenBSD on it.

My router for several years was an IBM PS/2E, model 9533 with a
50MHz 486 SLC2 + 25MHz 387SX FPU(not a typo) and 16MB RAM.  I haven't
run anything newer than about 3.8 or 3.9 on it, but it worked fine
then, including the install.  I'm sure I've posted in more detail
about it before -- check the archives.  Heck, I even ran X on it as a
see if it works thing, but it wasn't good for anything more than
opening a couple xterms.

The reason I abandoned it is that when faster connections became
available, the CPU couldn't keep up.  It would only pass about 2Mbit
of traffic before the interrupts from the ethernet cards (16-bit
PCMCIA, essentially ISA) consumed 90% CPU.

We are proud to announce the release of the speaker's presentations and 
that registration is now open for NYCBSDCon 2008 at


http://www.nycbsdcon.org

NYCBSDCon 2008 will be held at Manhattan's Columbia University on 
October 11 and 12 in New York City.


The speaker line-up is an impressive list of developers and systems 
administrators from all the BSD projects.


http://www.nycbsdcon.org/2008/presentations.html

We strongly encourage everyone to register as soon as possible at:

http://www.nycbsdcon.org/2008/register.html

Early registration is $95, and includes not just the meetings, but also 
breakfast and lunch for both Saturday and Sunday.  Walk-ins will be 
charged $145.


With valid current identification, the Columbia University staff, 
students and faculty rate is $50.  Other full-time students can also 
receive this discounted rate with valid identification.


On Friday, October 10th, there will be a NetBSD developers summit. 
Please contact JSchauma@ that project for additional details.


FreeBSD developers will also be gathering outside of the conference. 
Please contact GNN@ that project for more details.


Friday evening, attendees will be gathering at Havanna Central at 2911 
Broadway between 113th and 114th streets beginning at 7 pm.


The BSD Certification Group will be holding BSDA exams.  There will be 
general Unix review cram sessions over the course of Saturday.


There will also be a social gathering on Saturday evening at Havanna 
Central at 7 pm.


Live on-site reporting of the conference happenings will be provided by

Columbia University's Angelos Keromytis and Matthew Burnside, the 
conference would not be possible.


Any conference profits will be donated to the BSD projects, as done in 
years past.

Re: ntpd can hang on boot

2008-09-06 Thread Peter Fraser
I had an error in my /etc/pf.conf, that stopped the dns requests from working
Which in turn stopped ntpd from resolving the server names in /etc/ntpd.conf
which in turn caused ntdp to hang the system.

The fix for the problem was to correct my /etc/pf.conf file. My objection
was that I had to do a hardware reset in order to boot in single
user mode to fix the problem. Most other things you screw don't
require a hardware reset.

Hardware reset?  Didn't ^\ (the default 'quit' setting) work?  Yeah,
it makes ntpd dump core, but it's certainly interrupted it when I've
