What ELSE do I need to add to make.conf to avoid X ?

Just trying to install rrdtool on a server. Do not want X. Do not want X11. Do not want Xorg. So I did the right thing and added this to /etc/make.conf: WITHOUT_X11=yes WITHOUT_X=yes WITH_X=NO ENABLE_GUI=NO and then 'make install' in the rrdtool directory. The problem is, eventually I saw

bsd.gnome.mk is broken in 6.3-RELEASE ? Cannot update x11 ports ?

Clean install of 6.3-RELEASE. cvsup _only_ ports/x11, ports/x11-wm, ports/x11-servers Now enter ports/x11/xorg and attempt a 'make install' Eventually it bombs out with: ===Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/pixman-1.pc in /usr/ports/x11/pixman Unknown modifier '9'

why can't I use $1 in .cshrc ?

I am trying to use this alias in my root .cshrc file: grep $1 /some/file but .cshrc _refuses_ to expand $1 as a proper variable (in this case, the first argument to the alias...) I _think_ it's because $1 is being interpreted as a argument to csh _itself_ when it runs .cshrc ... but maybe

where did the peak mbuf stat go ?

FreeBSD 4.x, netstat -m: 70/4336/26624 mbufs in use (current/peak/max) Never any doubt - if peak=max, I hit the limit. Super useful. Furthermore, by watching the peak I can see when I am getting close, rather than waiting for denied requests to pile up after the fact. FreeBSD 6.x, netstat -m:

ipfw rule question ... all possible interfaces ?

Is there a way to tell ipfw: all interfaces currently configured on this system ? I have a laptop and at any time I could plug in a USB NIC or plug in a pccard, in addition to the onboard LAN and WIFI, either of which may or may not be configured at boot time. So the point is, the active,

oflag option in GNU dd - equivalent in FreeBSD dd ?

I am used to using this command in Linux, using GNU dd: dd if=/blah of=/bleh oflag=append conv=notrunc The problem is, FreeBSD 'dd' does not understand the oflag argument. Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ?

help with text-append over SSH ?

I have an account on a system where I cannot log in over SSH, but I _can_ run a limited set of commands remotely, over SSH. (I am in a jail of some sorts). I want to append the contents of a local text file to the contents of a remote text file, over SSH. Normally, I would do this locally

allowing non-root to ipfw show ?

Is there any way to allow a non-root user the ability to view firewall rules with: ipfw show I would really like to allow some non-root users to see certain count rules I have in place, but they don't seem to be allowed to run 'ipfw' in any capacity. Suggestions ?
