Re: I found a sort bug! - How to sort big files?

I don't know why sort is giving you such problems. there may be something unusual about your specific input that it wasn't designed to handle (or it might simply be a latent bug that has never been identified and fixed). when I need to sort large files, I split(1) them into smaller pieces, then

Re: File transfer from NetBSD to OpenBSD

FAT (and FAT32) would probably involve less experimentation. to bypass the limitations of FAT, I recommend using tar(1) and split(1). tar cfC - /filesystem-to-back-up . | split -b 2000m that will produce a tar file split into 2GB chunks named xaa, xab, xac, etc. to restore: cat x?? |

Re: Too much SUID/SGID files!

(tech removed from reply, don't cross-post) If you consistently log on to your system as root, then you probably don't need many SUID or SGID executables at all, since everything (interactive) will run with root privileges anyway. But if you usually log on as an unprivileged user (as you should

Re: Changing naming order of HDD SD drives on boot by kernel

it occurs to me, after a night's rest, that if you want short easy-to-remember device names that don't change when drives are reordered etc., then it might work to create 'alias' device nodes. put something into rc.local to look up certain duids (e.g. disklabel duid | head -1 ), look up the
