FreeBSD detecting less than total memory
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE as of a couple of days ago... and it seems that FreeBSD is not detecting the total amount of ram that I have on my system. I have 512M but here's my dmesg (where memory is concerned: real memory = 402669568 (393232K bytes) Physical memory chunk(s): 0x1000 - 0x0009, 651264 bytes (159 pages) 0x004ad000 - 0x17ffbfff, 397733888 bytes (97103 pages) avail memory = 386895872 (377828K bytes) This is much less than what is really available. /boot/loader detects the proper amount, but for some reason the kernel won't. Any ideas? Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
FreeBsd2.2.8 with VSCom PCI-200L
Hi all,
I am using FreeBsd2.2.8 and need to install more com port. I use VSCom
PCI-200L. But I don't know how to compile new kernel for this card (I found on
internet only with 4.6 modules not 2.2.8). Any one who know please tell me.

Re: How do I block spam locally?
Matt Smith wrote: I agree, but how do I run spam filtering locally? As an average desktop user, I simply use a client to POP mail from a server -- are there client plugins that filter for spam? I currently use Evolution, but am willing to change if there a spam filter plugins for other clients. As a slightly-more-than-average desktop user, I just figured out fetchmail to fetch a POP3 account to my local sendmail (base system, default install, set for local deliver only). Is SpamAssassin the best way to go? Is it a plugin for Sendmail? If I'm going to start messin' with my local MTA, should I try something besides Sendmail? The config options of Sendmail are somewhat daunting -- it seems like an SMTP handler should be simpler. Thoughts? Thanks all, -Matt If you are using fetchmail to deliver to your own sendmail, you are already halfway there. Use procmail to run all emails through spamassassin, and then let procmail or your MUA sort the emails based on the spamassassin results. I use this approach, and after a surprisingly small amount of tweaking spamassassin now catches ~99 out of a 100 spams, and has amazingly few false positives. There are some tutorials about procmail on http://www.onlamp.com/bsd/ that deals with catching spam. Even if they dont explain spamassassin, it should get you started. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: any advice before I buy a printer for FreeBSD?
And, the most important of all, check the hardware compatibility list of printers suitable for FreeBSD. Ah! That's what I was looking for! Saw no mention of it in the FreeBSD Handbook or the hardware compatibility link from freebsd.org I did find this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html Seems the HP Laserjet 1200 would be good for me, since it's Postscript-ready. Any advice before I buy a printer for FreeBSD? I'm finally going to get a printer for my FreeBSD devbox this week. Are they all pretty much FreeBSD-compatible? or is there some spec I need to look for? I assume parallel port is still the way to go or is USB really ready on FreeBSD? Main thing I want to do is print PDF files, in batches. (Send a directory of 300 different PDF files to the printer at once.) Are there any command-line tools to do that? or do you need an X11 Adobe Acrobat app? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

PPP and Alcatel HomeTouch
To whom it may concern: My friend and I have a FreeBSD machine running the latest STABLE version of FreeBSD. We are running ppp 2.3 patch 5. We have an Alcatel HomeTouch ADSL USB modem. In the FreeBSD machine, there is a fully functional USB card, which has been configured and operates correctly. The problem comes in the configuration of PPP Following the instructions here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/speedtouch/speedto uch/doc-bsd/INSTALL?rev=1.2 We configured as shown in the link above. Our ppp.conf file looks like this: default: ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command adsl: set authname our_username_here set authkey our_password_here set device !pppoa2 -vpi 8 -vci 35 -v 1 accept pap set speed sync set timeout 0 enable lqr set lqrperiod 5 set redial 15 1 set dial set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns We are certain our ISP uses PAP for authenticating.

Second is (I think as a result of this message) My total memory is too small by over 100M (I have 512M): Your physical memory map is laid out such that it has holes in; in general, the code, as written, can tolerate up to 7 holes... 8 discontiguous chunks. In a properly functioning system, you will not have more than that, and will generally have much less (the number goes up if 384K is remapped from expansion RAM to back-fill the hole above 640K; in general, you should turn this off in the BIOS, if you can, unless you are multibooting the system in DOS, and are using QEMM or a similar TSR to access expansion RAM). In general, the message is mostly harmless. What it means is that there is some physical memory that was not mapped into the address space as a known chunk, because of regions within memory that have been mapped out -- holes. You lose access to chunks above the last chunk. If it's complaining about holes, rather than segments, then it means that INT 15:E820 is succeeding without leaving anything out, but that the number of holes detected are larger than the number of holes that the BIOS knows about -- there is a mismatch -- and that the number of holes is greater than 8. The number of holes available to be mapped this way are limited to PHYS_AVAIL_ARRAY_END. By default, this will be 8... the maximum number supported is limited by the index for the declaration of the phys_avail[] array, minus 2 (default: 10). You can increase this number by modifying the 10 in the phys_avail[] array declaration. You may want to try jumping it up to 20, and recompiling the kernel (the declaration is around line 206 of /sys/i386/i386/machdep.c). In general, this is a bad way to work around the problem. If you have many detected holes like this in your address space, it is usually indicative of a hardware problem. This is usually either a brocken interior address line (but above a page worth of bits - bit 12) in the memory bus circuitry, or a broken RAM chip and/or bad connections on a SIMM. NB: Given address space layout on PC's, the algorithm would lose less total RAM in the situation where it has chunk issues like this, if it started from the top down, instead of the bottom up, since the chunkiness will be found below 540K and/or in the bus I/O address space. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I've setup a test machine with one 45gb ide drive with one slice and two partitions (/ and swap) and installed FreeBSD on it. dumpfs / shows that root is UFS2, and from reading /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.acls, I don't need to do the extattrctl initattr commands since ufs2 supports EA/ACLs natively. Additionally, I booted to single user mode and enabled ACLS on / by doing a tunefs -a enable /dev/ad0s1a. I proceeded to try getfacl and setfacl. getfacl returned the default settings (just stat() in ACL form according to Robert Watson), however, no matter what I tried all I could get with setfacl -m g:mail:rwx testfile was: setfacl: acl_get_file() failed: Operation not supported I thought perhaps the tunefs on the ro mount of / did not take. So instead I used the mount time flag in fstab: /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw,acls 1 1 I rebooted, and tried again. Yet I still get the same error message with setfacl. At this point I'm stuck. Is it because I only have / and not / and /usr? Does UFS2 with EA/ACLs not work on boot partitions? Or did I misunderstand something when trying to setup ACLs in -CURRENT? Any advice right now would be welcomed. Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
STRICTLY CONFINDENTIAL
Good Day, I hope this mail meets you in good time. My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have not had any Personal contact. However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction, which I propose to you as a man of intergrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is James Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, the leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). I got your email address from a directory, in my search for a partner for this transaction, hence this letter. You may know that my Uncle was recently killed in a battle with the government troops of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After my Uncle's death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, and UNITA was in a state of turmoil. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbyed to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrlable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle died. Being a young man who desires a peaceful life, I am no more interested in conflicts and wars, this is why I secretly left Angola and came here (The Netherlands) to seek political asylum. I am sincerely seeking for your highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit security company here in Amsterdam, Netherlands when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instrutions from me. As a matter of fact, this is the reason I chose to come to The Netherlands to seek for political asylum. It is very clear with the way things are now, that President Dos Santos will lobby the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, since he has already done this in Angola. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy. The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the security company, after which, the money will transfered to your account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. We shall use 5%($925,000) to carry out every expenses that we come across at any time. The remainder of the 5% shall be given to a Charity Organisation. I have with me, the Certificate of Depositfor the consignment, which will be used for claim from the security company. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response. I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part. Sincerely, J.Savimbi.

I assume that hacking squirrelmail to use a more secure protocol like scp is not easily done, so perhaps you would be better off writing an HTML form that inputs the rules each user wants to implement and then write some PHP code to formulate the rules in .procmailrc format and scp to transfer them to the user's .promailrc file.

Re: freebsd slice - 2 hdd's
My wife's business wants to have a freebsd server and they gave her a old computer to install freebsd on. The machine has 2 small hdd's ( seen as ad0 and ad1 ) and I was wondering if anyone sees any problem with putting the / , /var, /tmp , and swap slices on ad0 and putting all of the /usr slice on ad1 and installing the freebsd boot manager to ad0? No problem. It is a good way of doing it. While you are in sysinstall (what is running while you are doing the installation) it gives you a list of drives to work on. First choose the ad0 drive and tell it to make it one bootable FreeBSD slice of the whole disk and then partition it for your /, /var, /tmp and swap as you please. Tell it the appropriate /, /var, /tmp and swap mounts. Then, before leaving the disk setup part of sysinstall, next choose ad1 and make one FreeBSD slice on it, but you don't need to make it bootable. Partition it with one big partition and tell it to mount that as /usr. The sysinstall utility will take care of all the rest. You do not need a boot manager. You only need the standard boot block, because you are only using one OS eg FreeBSD. It just uses more than one disk. So, when sysinstall asks for ad0, just choose standard (no boot manager) boot block. One difference I might suggest is to actually split your swap up and put some of it on each disk instead of just the one. If you do that, you will, of course, make two partitions on the FreeBSD slice on ad1 - one for the portion of swap and the rest for /usr. If you tell sysinstall it is for swap, sysinstall will take care of making it properly usable. You don't have to do anything else to use both swap portions. Also, make plenty of swap - 2 or 2 1/2 times the physical memory, even more if the memory is quite small 64 MB.

i would like to know if there exists any fix for my problem here: problem: apps like XV and MPEG_PLAY refused to open dialogs/windows in any virtual window other than the one containing the origin in window managers that support them (VTWM in my case). this really sucks, since one is forced to always remain in the virtual window #1 when using these apps (there's probably more) or any apps that call on these apps - which destroys the whole purpose of having a virtual window type window manager. from what i understand, it's due to incorrect function calls by these apps, and this appears to be a long standing problem, since it is documented in 6+ year old documentation. i guess i am wondering why this stuff has never been fixed by the authors of these apps, or anyone else - or if their is a solution i am unaware of ... thank you.

Re: Booting an alternate kernel
Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: These days I have two custom kernel configs. One for my old Pentium 133, and one for the newer Celeron workstation. They both live outside of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf :) In addition to keeping them outside, I name config files like /u/sysconf/KERNCONF - k11oct02a /u/sysconf/LINT - LINT.4_7R.10oct02 /u/sysconf/LINT.4_7R.10oct02 /u/sysconf/k02sep02a /u/sysconf/k02sep02b /u/sysconf/k11oct02a so I can easily identify the version of the LINT and KERNCONF files and so my Xemacs menu can always point to LINT and KERNCONF and so I can tag old /kernel and /modules with the same suffix as the config file with which they were made.

Re: Ports base?
Greg 'groggy' Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Those were the days. I've just checked out the ports tree, and it's 314 MB! This is probably partially a consequence of the larger file system block size on modern systems, and also of course because of the CVS directories (each of which takes up 16 kB), for a total of 128 MB. Even without them, though, that leaves 186 MB. That agrees with the message from /usr/src/release/sysinstall/dist.c which says around 180MB.

It's fucked up mail clients that send messages that fallaciously claim to be using charset X when they're really in Y. Incidentally, these mail clients are MSFT products. Please correct me if you really know better (I'm no email expert), but I'm fairly sure that e-mail is still supposed to be 7-bit clean so it can go (without encoding/decoding) through 7-bit lines (maybe with parity on the 8th line), etc. Or has this been officially changed? Partly true. Mail servers, at least those who conform to the established standards, go at great lengths to maintain compatibility with their peers that do not support the full range of 8-bit ASCII. It is also true though, that flawed mail clients can push down into the connection to their outgoing SMTP server messages that do not have proper headers to allow the server to parse and convert the 8-bit characters correctly. This is often cause by either a) bugs in the mail client software, or b) misconfigured clients. Outlook is infamous for its habit of sending 8-bit characters unencoded in MIME messages that lack proper Content-Type: headers. The result is rather interesting to look upon, when the message passes through multiple SMTP servers, with different settings each. As for HTML/MIME, I don't know if MIME supports the encoding of non-7-bit HTML characters into 7-bit code, or if it expects 7-bit-clean HTML. MIME supports anything. 7-bit US ASCII characters. 8-bit characters in a multitude of encodings and character sets. Even UTF8 or Unicode. MIME itself doesn't dictate anything about the way a client handles the representation of the characters that are shown to the user. It only defines a standard way of converting and encoding these in a smaller character set, that is guaranteed to be easy to transmit over links that support ASCII.

Re: ctm
I've read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ctm.html and it's not clear to me why anyone would use ctm over cvs. Seems to me that cvs provides far more than ctm, but since ctm has been around since FreeBSD 2.0, there must be some value to it. So, what's the point of ctm? vs. cvs? Thanks, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: qmail problem
Is it possible one of the other programs you've mentioned (Spam
assassin for example) is changing permissions on your Maildir
directory? You need to be owner and make sure the appropriate r/w
permissions are there.
I'd also try using maildirwatch at the time you see errors and see if
it can access the maildir.
Your startup and rc files look fine - have you tried backing out either
squirrelmail or spam assassin and seeing if the error continues?
You also might want to try the qmail mailing list available for search
or subscription at http://cr.yp.to or http://www.qmail.org

Re: vinum documentation

mpd multihomed server
I have been running mpd as a server for pptp connections for my WinXP laptop via a WLAN connection for some time now, I would like to expand the pptp connections to answer on the Internet as well. Is it possible to make mpd answer on two different NICS, or will I have to use ipnat to redirect the port on my Internet NIC. My FreeBSD Firewall has three NICS: NIC1-LAN, NIC2-ISP, NIC3-WLAN. I have been able to get it to accept multiple clients, and answer on either NIC2 or NIC3, but I can't get it to answer on both NIC2 and NIC3 at once.

Are they all pretty much FreeBSD-compatible? or is there some spec I need to look for? As others have mentioned, avoid host-based printers. I assume parallel port is still the way to go or is USB really ready on FreeBSD? Ethernet is usually better yet. Main thing I want to do is print PDF files, in batches. (Send a directory of 300 different PDF files to the printer at once.) Are there any command-line tools to do that? or do you need an X11 Adobe Acrobat app? Ghostscript includes a pdf2ps utility, which I haven't tried but probably works fine. Which printer to buy depends on how fast you need to print and how much you're willing to spend. I've had good luck printing from FreeBSD with various HP models: HP4M+, 8000, 4000, 5000. All have PostScript or PS-compatible interpreters. Just for fun, I've also used Ghostscript as an input filter, rendering PostScript on the computer and sending the printers PCL bitmaps. Works fine, and may be faster depending on what you're printing; it was slower for my small, hand-written PostScript code. You might find a used HP4M pretty cheaply (check the local thrift stores), and the MIO Ethernet cards they take can be found for under $50. The other end of the spectrum would be a new 4200 at around $1100 plus another $300 for the EIO Ethernet it needs. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Smartcard support status in FreeBSD?
Way back in January, Bruce Simpson sent a message to -hackers claiming that he'd created a bunch of ports for smartcard support and was working on OpenSSH integration. I've been unable to find these ports or any other mention of his work. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, but does anyone know what the status of this work is? I've got a spare smart card reader or two (from the American Express Blue program) sitting around waiting for a real OS to support them. Otherwise, does anyone know where I can find drivers for them?

I've just checked out the ports tree, and it's 314 MB! This is probably partially a consequence of the larger file system block size on modern systems, and also of course because of the CVS directories (each of which takes up 16 kB), for a total of 128 MB. Even without them, though, that leaves 186 MB. You're correct I was underestimating (I was thinking of the compressed ports.tar.gz file), but my CVS ports tree is only 204MB including CVS directories, so I think you're overestimating (perhaps you included the distfiles/ directory?) Nope, as I said, I checked out a completely new tree from the repository. FWIW, my real ports tree (including distfiles) runs to 3.1 GB. I'd guess that your file system block size is smaller than mine. The default for new file systems is now 16 kB block and 2 kB fragments, and since nearly every file in the Ports Collection is smaller than the old 512 bytes fragment size, this means that they are now 1.5 kB larger. My ports tree currently has 170,000 files in it (including distfiles, admittedly; I don't want to check out again), so that's in the right ball park. -Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers You dunderheads :) are all missing the point.

xargs -J
Hi,
I've been trying to use |xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
but to no avail.
I've tried |xargs -J mv \[\] \[\].suffix and variations but that
doesn't seem to work either. It seems to work fine with the -i
command under GNU xargs, but not under Freebsd.
An example would be
$ touch one two three
$ ls one two three | xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
I should now have one.suffix two.suffix three.suffix. At least,
that's what happens with GNU and the -i \{\}. (FreeBSD manpage says
to use -J [] without escapes though.)
Can anyone lend me a clue here please?
TIA.

I've never tried to do it this way, but I suspect that you can only use
your delimiter once.
In any case, if what you are wanting to do is rename a bunch of files,
try something like:
# for file in one two three; do mv $file `echo $file | sed -e
's/$/.suffix/'`; done
That's the way I've always done it - works a treat (try doing THAT with
a GUI :-)
Hope it helps, unless you had your heart set on xargs

Two things. First, from `man xargs`:
Furthermore, only the first occurrence of the replstr will be

about:

starting, stopping, and reloading services
Well, I'll admit most of my limited experience has been SysV style Linux distros. There, I'm used to being able to call a script in some subdirectory of /etc/initd w/ an option such as start, stop, restart, or reload to manipulate services running on that box. A couple of the distros provided shortcuts to even that along the lines of 'rcnfserver stop' (SuSE) or 'service nfs stop' (RedHat). Which leave me wondering: exactly how do I start/stop services from the command line in FreeBSD? Am I supposed to send the pid of the process a kill or HUP signal (someone want to refresh my memory as to the syntax of *that*?), and start it w/ a bunch of options/flags to get it back up and running? Or is there an easier way of doing these operations? TIA, nuk To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Hi, I'm on 4.7-RELEASE with IBM T23. I run into a strange problem with my USB Mass Storage device (for my fujiflim digicam). Somehow, my notebook can only see the device upon rebooting the machine but not when I connect to the notebook when it's running. I have confirm the usbd is running, am I missing something obvious? This is the dmesg when the notebook during my reboot. The message doesn't appear when the USB device connects to notebook when it's running, hence I'm assumming that the kernel couldn't see the device. Is there any means to get the kernel see the USB device when I connect the device online i.e the notebook is running? I think rebooting my notebook everytime when I connect the USB isn't a viable option :) Thanks in advance. v 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: umass0: Fuji Photo Film USB Mass Storage, rev 1.10/10.00, addr 2 Nov 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Nov 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Nov 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: da0: FUJIFILM USB-DRIVEUNIT 1.00 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device Nov 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: da0: 150KB/s transfers Nov 24 19:39:20 arcet /kernel: da0: 31MB (64000 512 byte sectors: 0H 0S/T 0C) [sbng@localhost]$usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), Intel(0x), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered [sbng@localhost]$ps -aux | grep usbd root 102 0.0 0.1 928 408 ??

FIGURED IT OUT!!! (was): Can't seem to assign a different port for http (apache)
I actually had it right the whole time. The problem was Internet Explorer the WHOLE time. It turns out to feed http on a different port, you only have to either add a LISTEN port# or change the standard port 80 to something else port # Even though I had done that it wasn't pulling up in IE for me. Well, I was speaking with another friend of mine and telling him all the different things I had tried. He asked me if I was actually typing in 'http://address' in the IE Address line. Turns out that IE doesn't ASSUME the 'http://' on any port except 80. So I went back in, made the changed to httpd.conf and then went to http://192.168.0.10:1124 and BANG, there it was. Called up a buddy of mine and had him try from the outside and BANG there it was. So thought I would follow up with all of you to 1: Thankyou and 2: Let you know about EVIL IE. - Original Message - From: Jim Arnold Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 11:42 AM Subject: Re: Can't seem to assign a different port for http (apache) At 9:22 AM -0700 11/16/02, Totally Jayyness wrote: Yeah, I tried that also, I just didnt' explain it well. After the Listen 14 or 1124 didn't work, I removed that line and did go further down and changed the Port 80 to Port 14 and then Port 1124 Stopped and restarted the httpd daemon each time. Hmmm do I need to reset a different daemon or another daemon maybe? Jay If you are going to use a non-standard port you will also have to add that to the /etc/services file too. For example, to use port 8080 instead of 80, add this to the services file: http 8080/tcp http 8080/udp and then change the port from 80 to 8080 in httpd.conf and restart apace.

Check the handbook online. Or, alternately, boot to single user mode by halting the boot process at the prompt and using `boot -s`. When the system comes up mount all filesystems, something like: # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs Then simply run `passwd` (/usr/sbin/passwd) to change root's password. When done type exit and the system will boot to multi-user mode and you should be ok from there.

Hi,
I've been trying to use |xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
but to no avail.
I've tried |xargs -J mv \[\] \[\].suffix and variations but that
doesn't seem to work either. It seems to work fine with the -i
command under GNU xargs, but not under Freebsd.
An example would be
$ touch one two three
$ ls one two three | xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
I should now have one.suffix two.suffix three.suffix. At least,
that's what happens with GNU and the -i \{\}. (FreeBSD manpage says
to use -J [] without escapes though.)
Can anyone lend me a clue here please?
I think what you want here is -I instead of -J. -I allows for multiple
replacements, whereas -J does not.
Also, I'd suggest using something other than [] as your placeholder, as
those characters have a special meaning in the shell. Using something
simple, like %, as the man page illustrates.

It's fucked up mail clients that send messages that fallaciously claim to be using charset X when they're really in Y. Incidentally, these mail clients are MSFT products. Please correct me if you really know better (I'm no email expert), but I'm fairly sure that e-mail is still supposed to be 7-bit clean so it can go (without encoding/decoding) through 7-bit lines (maybe with parity on the 8th line), etc. Or has this been officially changed? AFAIK, this has changed with MIME. RFC 822 restricts email messages to 7 bits (ASCII), but MIME allows different charecter sets, like UTF8. What is still a possibility is that such a message will get mangled on its way by an MTA that assumes all data is ASCII, but I don't remember seeing anything like that happen. BTW, RFC 2045 specifies a way to pass non-ASCII messages through MTA's that assume all-ASCII world: the Content-Transfer-Encoding header. What you say about MSFT's fallacious charset claims is certainly true of HTML/HTTP, except that more often they make no claim of charset at all, expecting the world to conform to their charset by default. As for HTML/MIME, I don't know if MIME supports the encoding of non-7-bit HTML characters into 7-bit code, or if it expects 7-bit-clean HTML. Looks like you confuse HTML and MIME, which are two distinct things that have moreless nothing in common. For example, this message is a MIME message (as opposed to an RFC 822 message, yet it doesn't contain any HTML). If we restrict this to MIME: I routinely see messages from Outlook and its brethren claiming they're ISO-8859-2, but containing characters from outer space. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

This is often cause by either a) bugs in the mail client software, or b) misconfigured clients. I thought SMTP mail servers didn't touch the body of messages. One mail client encodes stuff via MIME protocols to 7-bit data which it places in the body, servers pass it around (changing headers), and another client decodes the 7-bit body via MIME. You seem to imply that servers mess with the body. Why would it need to? Mind explaining? Please read RFC 2045.
