This way I can offer more then just CDs, but mp3s and videos as well. I'd like to pick up a nice vid card (Say an ATI Radeon 9xxx Pro series with S-Video out) and setup the S-Video side to stream videos/xmms mp3/cd visualizations to 6 TVs spread throughout the place. In place of the normal song selection screen you normally see, I'd like to place a 17 or 19 LCD that only display 4-8 CD covers song lists at a time. that whole thing is terribly overspec'd! do you know an mp3 player with such a spec? I don't. Well, you mention playing video, so that might change things a bit, still. Anyway, if you want to present the user with CD covers, you'll either need X or something capable of displaying graphics on the console (Linux framebuffer, or svgalib, comes to mind). I'd go for a console solution: less overhead, both computational and administrative. You'll need searchable storage for the CD/song titles and whatnot. *Tell FBSD to listen to a bill validator (http://www.videocan.com/bill_validator.html - currently waiting for info from them about interface) for credit inputs, and display it as an overlay on the screen (Let's say $1 buys 3 songs or 2 videos - display would show that) Looks like you can plug that into an LPT port. *Once it's determined that there's credits in the machine have FBSD listen to a keypad (telephone pad style) for input in the style of , first 2 being album number, second 2 track number. *Queue up and keep track of songs to play. mp3s/CDs will launch a visualization studio to display the music vis to the TVs, or launch videos to play on TVs. *When there's no activity, it will enter a screensaver mode where it changes screens on monitor. All in all, I think that you need is a daemon that will collect data from the bill slot (parallel port?) and a keypad (serial port?), mysqld (the librarized version of the server might be nice), and something to play the music, mp3 / ogg (I'd go for Ogg Vorbis). Something along a 300MHz Celeron/Duron w/ 128 MB RAM would IMO be more than enough. BTW, I was thinking about doing something similar, with one of those micro-ATX boards, an LCD display (one of those found on CD players, you know :), a programmable remote controller, and NetBSD.

Often it causes syslogd to log it at LOG_EMERG priority (=spams every logged in user with the truncated message). I think this happens after the kernel's message buffer starts rolling over. The very first line in the dmesg output sometimes gets cut in half, so diff prints it as a change block, and the security script prints the add portion. Maybe the check_diff function should remove the first line of the dmesg output before doing the diff? I guess I'm talking about a different problem, actually (syslogd), although I see the truncated security script mail as well.

Re: Dead natd - dead system
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-07-10 13:57:33 -0600: While working with a FreeBSD system this afternoon, I did something which killed natd (the NAT daemon), which was processing packets in the usual way via ipfw and a divert socket. The result? Network communications on the system simply went dead. It seems to me that ipfw should be able to self-heal (that is, bypass the rule) or reinvoke a daemon that's attached to a divert socket. Otherwise, the process that's attached to the socket becomes an Achilles' heel for the whole system. Crash it for any reason, and the system's offline.

Plus, you get to avoid that SASL ting (but not if you need SMTP auth in Postfix, in which case you could go for Cyrus just as well).

Re: Dummie question: The versioning system

Re: SoftUpdates on /
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-02-21 14:52:45 -0500: the reason that they disabled by default on / is almost certainly because the / is usually *small*, not large. thus spoke Terry Lambert in Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: : I believe the reason it's not on in sysinstall is that sysinstall : tries to mount things async on the initial install, so that doing : things like unpacking ports doesn't take forever.

It might be different in 95% of Courier FWIW, but that was not my experience. The SMTP server and client part of courier is also nice, robust and friendly to other sites, and has many useful features (RBL checking, rejecting spam, flexible aliasing, SMTP authentication, SSL support) all out of the box. I didn't say Courier didn't have all that. BTW, I use RBL checks, virtual domains, static routes (non-MX-based relaying), and whatnot with Postfix. All out of the box. :) And if you install the entire courier suite, you also get a POP server, webmail server and mailing list manager, and a webadmin CGI to configure it all easily. Postfix has neither of that, as I said in my previous post (doesn't have a point'n'click interface). It's only an MTA. I'm happy with what it is, and how it does its job.

Re: Caching nameserver question - I need a spot here . . .
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-27 17:15:29 -0500:
Hey all. I'm finally getting around to setting up a caching dns
server. Pretty confusing from my angle.
Here's what I have so far:
named enaabled in /etc/rc.conf
cd to /etc/namedb and run sh make-localhost
and the following in /etc/namedb/named.conf:
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
forward first;
forwarders {
151.203.0.84;
151.202.0.84;
};
listen-on { 10.8.20.5; };
version surely you must be joking
query-source address * port 53;
};
zone . {
type hint;
file named.root;
};
zone 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA {
type master;
file localhost.rev;
};
are you setting up a cache, or an authoritative server?
IOW, do you want Bind to resolve names for clients (they'll will
have it in /etc/resolv.conf and equivalents), or do you want it to
publish names?
You are doing both, but if you want to have this Bind resolving
names for clients (external cache), being authoritative for
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa doesn't IMO make sense.

Re: sendmail - different smtp server
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-27 23:07:11 +0800: Due to my ISP's smtp server not having a valid external hostname, I can only send emails to FreeBSD mailing list via yahoo's smtp server (which requires authentification). LART them, and if it doesn't help, LART them again. If that doesn't help either, LART them even more. Is it possible to setup my sendmail, so that it will relay emails to yahoo's email server instead? It should be possible. I know Postfix can be set up with static routes. Is editing the mailertable to add something like this correct? .freebsd.org smtp:smtp.mail.yahoo.com I don't know the format, sorry.

Re: Compile gettext
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-25 13:07:06 +0100:
How can I compile gettext into php?
So apache can run gettext...
I already installed gettext, apache from the mall CD's...
su
# cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 make install clean
if you don't have ${BATCH} defined in your environment or cruft left
in the directory from previous installations, you'll be prompted to
choose which libs you want linked in. gettext is among them.
