Re: What does your environment look like?
I'll take patches. There are several features I don't use but still committed; the only requirements I have are: * ISC licensed * not in the way of current behavior * well written and within the scrotwm style If you need things like tags write the patch an it'll go in provided you meet the requirements.

Yeah, after looking through the manual again, I tried all the features, and found that out as well. Just to see what has changed since I last used it, I installed scrotwm and started writing down a list of things which I didn't really like or that I found odd: * No tagging Since Marco doesn't really like this, and it is his wm, I doubt this would be comming back (a shame, really. you can still use tags as regular workspaces if so inclined). What do you mean come back? I used a couple of ideas and lines of code from dwm but it is essentially completly written from scratch. It was never in there. * Statusbar doesn't display windows on other workspaces Same here. * Statusbar doesn't display WM_NAME(STRING). I found it odd that there are options to display things like the window's class, but not the actual title of the window. Maybe I could write a patch for this. Yeah that would be nice. Patch please. * Can't bind mouse actions on windows * Can't bind mouse actions on the statusbar I use the mouse for the tubes and cut and paste. I'll flat a patch for this too. I use surf as my browser, and prefer to use it without any other programs to handle multiple windows (ie. tabbed), besides the wm. Since my hand is almost always on the mouse anyways, I find it really convenient to use mouse bindings to perform certain actions (like right clicking the statusbar to delete the current window, for instance). * Can't switch to a specific layout, only cycle (no way to bind this). That is dwc being lazy. Make him fix this. I thought it was weird the first time I used dwm (comming from xmonad), but after using it for a while, I have really missed it in scrotwm. I think that it should be possible to at least bind keys to certain layouts so you can change to it without having to cycle through all the others first. * No layout for floating Need to spend a week on this to unfuck floats. It is a surprisingly hard problem. I will eventualy get to this. I like the way dwm distinguishes between floating windows in a tiled layout and windows that are set to float because of the current floating layout, so if you switch back to a tiled layout, windows which you have explicitly set to floating will remain floating. * New windows are always pushed to the bottom of the stack, can't be configured I think this should be an option. Nah, m-enter is the magic. * Opening or closing a window with any floating moves the floating one to center Sounds like a bug. See previous float comment. * Impossible to move any part of a floating window off screen. Not sure if this is a bug or design decision, but I find it awkward at times. By design; the reason is xrandr akwardness and it can't be gotten right. So preventing it from moving offscreen was the best option. Maybe this can be fixed with the floaters. Anyways, I tried this with the scrotwm package (-current), so some of these bugs may have been fixed in the most recent version. I wouldn't mind writing patches for some of them, but the fact that things like tagging and the changes in the statusbar have been changed for the worse (imho, of course) make me rather want to stay with dwm. Anyways, good luck with your scrotwm project. Even if I don't really care for all the changes, I know you and others do. (I will say that scrotwm makes an excellent xmonad replacement, for those of you that haven't been already spoiled by switching to dwm. :)

I had it on the status bar before and hated it. I have never found any use for tagging.

Scrotwm now has two settings : title_class_enabled Enable or disable displaying the window class in the status bar. Enable by setting to 1 title_name_enabledEnable or disable displaying the window ti- tle in the status bar. Enable by setting to 1 These show what is open in a window when AT the window. Perhaps this function could be exploited to add a prompt when quitting with windows active? Or add an optional row to status bar showing active windows.

ntp log rotation
Hi list, is there any way to use newsyslog with ntpd (not the OpenBSD one) without having to restart it? Just rotating the log causes subsequent log messages to be lost and killing ntpd with SIGHUP causes it to exit. I've had a look at the manpages and on the interwebs, but didn't find anything. Thanks, Lars

Yes! Using snapshots/packages is an absolutely fantastic option if: 1.) You have a *reliable* Internet connection 2.) You have plenty of bandwidth 3.) All the machines you maintain are running the same -current snapshot. 4.) You don't want to work on stuff. I have difficulty downloading the full snapshot .iso's without the connection making a mess of it, so I typically download the individual snapshot *.tgz's. Even CVS can be painful on a slow and dodgy connection like mine (Verizon EVDO). I have plenty of compute power, but being connected to the Internet by the equivalent of a string and a pair of tin cans makes downloading tons of stuff a real problem. -- J.C. Roberts

When you're on the machine and experiencing the problem, it would be useful to collect the output from 'netstat -rn'. (i.e. redirect to a file, copy it off when the network's working again).

Running -current is more work, and requires more knowledge, but it is well worth the effort. There are always some caveats when running the -current branch, so you'll need to pay attention to: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html Often, it is easiest to do a completely new, full installation from a snapshot. This can prevent you from needing to fix the various caveats such as file format changes, requirements and whatnot (typically listed in the URL above). On the other hand, if you don't mind making the needed changes manually, you can also do an "upgrade" (rather than a full install) as Stuart mentioned. Since you should *ALWAYS* have a backup of your data when doing either a full install or an upgrade, and often you'll want to be rebuilding and reinstalling a lot of your ports, the time you might save doing an update isn't much... --particularly if you lose an hour or two because you missed something. I spent a few years only running -stable, and of course, doing my own back-porting of the newer versions of the ports I needed/wanted to update. It was a time consuming pain in the ass, but I learned a lot because I was completely *on* *my* *own* --back porting is not supported. You (and me as well) are far better off just running -current than messing around with a custom system made from random parts from both -stable and -current. Search the misc@ mail list archives for the term "curmudgeon" (someone too set in their old ways of doing things), and you'll probably learn something from the discussions. There are *lots* of older sysadmins who are afraid of running the -current branch, but their fears are mostly due to not realizing the world has changed in the last 20-40 years. -- J.C. Roberts
