Your msg there is first for me -- one that (sorta) properly claims to be using a MSFT custom characater set. It's more typical for MSFT supporters' software to use WINDOWS-1252 and either call it ISO-8859-1 or call it nothing (which implies ISO-8859-1). Apple's is at least being honest about it. Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v613) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable But sadly, many (most?) mail non-MSFT mail readers don't understand those WINDOWS-1252 characters even they're properly labeled. So we see your smart quotes, etc., as "?" or in octal as "\222", etc. Makes it look real pretty. I've never heard of this f=f stuff and don't have time just now to investigate, but I'll keep typing anyway. I think the problem is the same but worse. f=f is probably spec'd in a new draft RFC and many mail readers don't support it, so your correspondents on a list list this can't handle it well. Plain text mail was (and still is, really) spec'ed in RFC-822, but I think it's reasonable to assume that everyone can deal with the newer RFC-2822. Both require that plain text message be able to be read without reformatting by the mail reader. Unfortunately, they don't specify a width. It's reasonable and traditional to expect people to have terminals or windows that display 80 characters wide, but to accomodate traditional quoting, etc, it's a good idea to keep the width of new stuff within 70, though many people use 72 (ala punch cards and old FORTRANs). There's been a few attempts to establish a plain text format that assumes that mail readers will reformat incoming mail, and it sounds like f=f is one of them. But their still not safe bets unless you know your correspondents can handle the format. With traditional mail readers, one doesn't WANT the reader to reformat mail, because, for example, it makes a mess of programming code or text tables. My mail reader can be configured to let long lines go off the end, requiring horz. scrolling to see it or it wraps lines mid-word at the edge of the screen. I find it nasty to read stuff longer than 120 characters, while for many it's 80 or some other, but people won't complain if you keep it to 80 and assume that your readers have to scroll horiz. to read stuff wider than 80. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Adaptec 2410SA starts doing this: aac0: COMMAND0xc551a7e8TIMEOUTAFTER 147 SECONDS (Modified by Chad Leigh -- Shire.NetLLC)
In between 5.0 and 5.1 I put some serious work into the driver to make it perform better. Unfortunately, I opened up an edge case that would result in a command being lost under extreme load. It was very hard to reproduce locally until I did some more performance work after 5.2. I finally made the driver so fast that I could reproduce the problem with ease, which then allowed me to figure it out. A band-aid went into 5.2.1, and the real fix (hopefully) is in 5.2-CURRENT.

RE: The clock is running too fast
Hola, I had a similar problem on one of the machines at work. Here is a memo I made to myself to remind me of how to fix the problem in the future: The "ACPI-safe" Timecounter does not work (it is way, WAY too fast). To get around this, add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 There are multiple pieces of hardware capable of supplying timing information to the OS. "dmesg | grep Timecounter" should give you a list of all such devices. I think this is an ACPI-related problem, since that is the technology I understand the least at the moment. :) -Dan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Liu Sent: March 18, 2004 21:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The clock is running too fast Hi folks, AMD CUP FreeBSD 5.2 The clock on KDE desktop is running on double speed compelling me to adjust it periodically.

ld-elf, libkvm out of sync, can't build ports

Re: Mozilla + realplay plugin: how to get this work?
The realplayer plugin only works with a linux mozilla binary. I suggest you use www/plugger, works with native fbsd mozilla. It starts realplayer as an application by default, not as a plugin, and honestly, this is what you want. Plugins suck for video or audio, it is a bad idea IMHO. If you want plugin, you can configure it for that, I believe. Plugger works by using external programs and open them either in an X window inside mozilla, or just starting them through a forked /bin/sh. It supports over 50 different mime types, starting different progs. Hence, the dependcy list in the port is fairly long, perhaps you can some off if you don't want it all... /palle --On fredag 19 mars 2004 09.37 +0900 Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I have installed on STABLE PC: mozilla-1.6_3,2 linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_1 linuxpluginwrapper-20040310_1 mplayerplug-in-2.45 linux-realplayer-8.cs2_4 I have following in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins : raclass.zip -> /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8/raclass.zip rpnp.so -> /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so To no avail; realplay plugin does not work with mozilla.

OpenLDAP support in port security/heimdal
I am a newbie to ports on FreeBSD and never needed to modify config options for a port before.

Re: HTML, the FAQ said: No. Nothing. Format=flowed applies solely to plain-text messages. HTML messages already have something functionally equivalent to f=f: the attribute, which... um... quotes blocks of text. When f=f mailers that also can handle HTML encounter text, it’s usually marked up with the same excerpt bars we’re familiar with from f=f. Format=flowed isn’t actually at work there, but since text flows nicely when you resize a window, the effect is the same. A return in there usuall doesn't mess up the gui Email readers.

I do it manually - just hit that nice big Enter/Return key between a couple of word when I get out around that far. Some Mail clients allow you to set a line length and then try to break between word near there. Most editors such as vi allow something like this too. I am using vi, but have a long habit of hitting return from way back in the days of typewriters (I'm old) so I never even bother to set anything in vi.I just miss the bell 'ding' and sound of the platen or type ball moving back each time.

It is really because many people read their mail on text only readers - such as on a console without much gui stuff or whatever. So, the stuff either just wraps at lousy places and runs stuff together or it ignores all the html or other markup junk that clutters up the message file and splats it all out on the screen just as it gets it which is hard to read. > Out of curiosity, what email program are you using that it's not > showing up?

Generally you can figure out the NIC driver by looking through the boot messages. use dmesg(8) to look at the file of messages.When you find some text looking like it is talking about a NIC, then take the two leter code it is referring to and use it as your driver - in the kernel.

openssl upgrade confusion
I'm trying to upgrade openssl 0.9.7d from 0.9.7c and am having a really rough time. I downloaded the 9.7d tarball and untarred it in /usr/src. I did a ./config, make, and make install. It seems to have placed the new openssl libraries in a different location than where the original ones were installed: # locate libcrypto.a /usr/lib/libcrypto.a /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a # What is the best way to over-write the base install? I've considered adding /usr/local/ssl/lib to the /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints file but I can't find a way to modify the order so that /usr/local/ssl/lib/ is checked before /usr/lib. Is that the route I should be taking, or is there a better way? I have considered using the openssl port to do the upgrade, but I would rather use a tarball because I have built apache/mod_ssl/openssl together. - Jamie Greetings from Minneapolis, MN, United States ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That should work. What are you using for your stunnel.pem cert? If it's singed by a regular CA then it should work fine. If it's self-signed some clients may reject it. Can you try using a different mail client - like Netscape or Evolution or pine or mutt - which should show if the problem is with OE or with your stunnel+qpopper setup. You could also try an alternative pop3s server -- there is the one included with the mail/uw-imap software, for instance, although you should make sure to compile the port with WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT=yes if you want both encrypted and plaintext servers, or I've heard some very good things about mail/dovecot.

However, there are circumstances where logging in as root is convenient... -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: Root password not responding
Are you having problem when using ssh or from the console? Alright I have recently installed BSD onto my computer as one of the OS systems to dual boot. However, recently the root usner name and password, when entered correctly or incorrectly, does not login. It gives me the message of Incorrect password or usnername.

Downgrading 4.9-stable to 4.9-release-p3
I upgraded some servers to 4.9-stable a few weeks ago, not realizing that I really wanted releng_4_9. Since I have to apply this openssl fix anyway, I thought I could go from 4.9-stable to releng_4_9 no problem. The alternative, as I see it, is to wait for 4.10 to come and upgrade to that.

Re: Root password not responding
Hit him, perhaps he responds then :-) No Serious, it could mean a lot of things, did you try just entering from the login prompt? Login: root Password: You might accidently changed it, someone might have changed it, it was unset, you were toying with vipw, and dozens options more ;-) Perhaps you should boot into single user mode, remount the / (readwrite) and use passwd root BTW: Where are you seeing this message?

Perhaps your box rebooted and you didn't know it? Look at dmesg and not the timestamp of the last boot. That should tell ya. If your last boot really wasn't 2 hours ago, I dunno.

From what I hear, it updates only the binaries. it's in /usr/ports/security/freebsd-update And, from the pkd-descr: more pkg-descr This is the client half of the FreeBSD Update system; it fetches and applies binary security updates.

Re: Zope
Thank you for your assistence, I managed to figure out what my problem was. It turns out zope must be started as root. I was starting it as another user which is what Zope.org suggests to do. I guess I have to change ownership though for the rest of the files to that user in order to be able to run it as a different user. I should be able to figure out the rest of this Zope beast.

Install problems
I have a computer that I have had Freebsd on previously. I recently re-installed 5.1-release on it as I was going to make it a firewall. Well, I pulled one of the nic out, and have been trying to do a full install from ftp. So, I boot using the (2) floppies. Go through the standard install (blow away partition, create, etc). When I get to the media source and choose FTP, then selected the default ftp.freebsd.org. I tries, and comes back to the media selection screen. I have tried (last night) all the USA ftp servers with the same result. Tried a different NIC. Same result. Tried a different port on my switch. Same result. I can see it talking as the activity lights are blinking. I am configuring the NIC with a static internal IP of 192.168.1.77 (my internal LAN uses 192.168.1.X). I set the gateway IP to my gateway (192.168.1.75). All my machines can see the internet and each other (except this box I'm working on). Any ideas on the culprit ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The other part of the query was that I couldn't find a dependency of gnomemeeting on net/asterisk (asterisk is still at 0.7.2), but that seems to be moot now although I'm still interested to hear suggested techniques for discovering dependencies, ie. how could I confirm a requirement for asterisk by the gnomemeeting port? If the answer to that is something like: portupgrade -Rn the next question is: how do the -n and -f switches interact (since the port is actually installed I need to use -f, does -n override everything? I guess the alternative is to deinstall gnomemeeting first.)
