RE: Auto Reboot on Panic?
I would like the box to dump core and reboot on a panic. I think I have set the box up to do this, but on the last panic it didn't reboot. I followed the information at http://www.bsdatwork.com/2002/03/29/system_panics_part_1/, and I have compiled a kernel with makeoptions DEBUG=-g, options KDB, options KDB_UNATTENDED. /etc/rc.conf has these lines: dumpdev=/dev/ad6s1b, dumpdir=/usr/local/var/crash. The box has 768M of RAM, ad6s1b has at least that much space, and is configured as swap. Can anybody tell me what I have forgotten to do to make the box reboot on a panic? Many thanks in advance, Warren Hello. From my understanding of the kernel options: options PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=xx # seconds before reboot options KDB_UNATTENDED # only required if compiled with kernel debugger # options RESTARTABLE_PANICS # should not be set May be, you should also set kern.shutdown.kproc_shutdown_wait in sysctl.conf to some reasonable time.

Re: /boot on a separate partition
Ross Kendall Axe wrote: That's what I'm going for now. 100MB in / and the rest of the disk given to /usr and swap. Bit of pain really, I thought the whole idea of keeping the bootloader files in /boot was so that /boot could be a separate partition. Being pragmatic, the problems you are facing are because you have such a tiny disk in an ancient PC. This puts you in a very small minority of FreeBSD users. A separate /boot is new to 5.X and I doubt it was done to help you out of this situation. Developer effort is limited and since FreeBSD has never used a separate /boot, it's unlikely to get anyone's attention to do it that way unless there is a very good reason, and tiny disks are unlikely to be it. The oldest PC I have that runs FreeBSD (also a Pentium) has a 4 and an 8Gb disk, and no problem booting off the ends of either. It's who knows how old, and even charities don't want it because they can't think of anything useful that anyone could do with it, even if it was the bees knees when I got it.

RE: Demon license?
It was not my intention to start a flame war, folks. I'm sorry. I didn't realize what a hot topic this little daemon is, and I really didn't mean to step on anyone's feel-bads or press anyone's hot-buttons. I've taken the tongue-in-cheek comments as just that: tongue-in-cheek. I'm not a member of this community, but it still seems I've done more to further the division than heal it. I've explained which side I'm on. I'm firmly pro-Beastie. But this was not the issue I originally wanted to discuss. I wanted to know whom I should contact regarding the use of Mr. Beast, and that question has largely been answered. And now the subject is breaking down into a flame war about whether or not the iconographic daemon should be changed or not. The facts of the matter are, I never intended for this to happen, and I offer my solemn apologies for starting it. Yes, it's all my fault, even if I didn't realize what a can of worms I was opening. Please, let's try to be civil! Finger-pointing and ridicule are not proper tools for rational discussion. They are also, in my experience, counter-productive (I lost my first wife to this, as well as an enormous number of business opportunities). SO, to try to undo some of the damage that I've done and put this on a more constructive path, I'd like to respond to both Grog and Ted. Says Groggy: Personally, I think it's a good idea to create for ourselves something that can contribute to a public face less open to misinterpretation while still safeguarding part of the community culture. I haven't spoken up on it so far because I saw no need to. I submit that it's entirely possible that there are many like me. Being more vocal does not make you the majority. Being more vocal does not, in fact, make you the majority, but it does in practice. Evidence of this include extremist factions like al-Qaida, the neo-Nazis, and the Sierra Club. These groups are the most vocal representations of their respective political agendas, but far from represent the whole. The terrorist organization of al-Qaida, for example, is one of the most vocal groups in the Middle East, but they do not actually corner the market on the religion of Islam, or even anti-American sentiment in the region. They are a vast minority. The neo-Nazis are another example. They claim to represent the white race. However, not all white people are racists, nor all Americans, Swedes, Germans, or any other nationality that they claim to represent. I myself am considered white but I am far from being anything even remotely resembling a racist. And then there's the Sierra Club, who claims to represent environmentalism in general. I can see their hearts are in the right place, but they really don't have a leg to stand on, with regard to a lot of the claims they generated over the years. They did, in fact, prevent proscribed burning in Colorado, which has effectively killed off a great deal of the forests because of the need for proscribed burns which help distribute seeds of certain foliage. And now for Ted: The FreeBSD Project isn't just composed of the core members and the software. It encompasses that as well as the entire userbase. If you want the userbase to come round to your point of view on this logo thing, then you need to handle the userbase with respect. And so do you, including those whom you disagree with. The entire purpose of keeping this discussion going is to arrive at a general consensus, benefit everyone (including Grog), and make a kind of open community forum for being able to discuss the possibilities. I found your post needling and disrespectful to Groggy, and while I disagree with Grog's points, I disagree with your methods. Please try to be more respectful or leave me out of the includes. This being said, you do bring up some very valid points: So far the userbase has NOT been asked to vote on this topic. This, to me, points to either a fear of outright rejection or a splintering of the group into factions. NetBSD, for example, seems to be anti-Beastie, and I couldn't find one solitary logo anywhere on their site that even remotely referred to the daemon image. My thought is that this is fine. FreeBSD can retain the beast, and those dissatisfied with the beast image are free to develop another BSD version, right? So, if you really want to splinter the group, by all means push for a change that the majority doesn't really want. Okay, now for the general stuff: It's silly and extreme to divide so thoroughly over something that doesn't really impact the quality of the OS. The logo for FreeBSD is the daemon, and this is a de facto standard (defaulted to because of its continued use over the years). To change the logo is to change the entire identity of the product, in this case. The daemon has served today (now that I know a bit more about it) to remind me that the way that the system operates is with different server daemons. These programs are so incredibly useful at keeping the

Honestly speaking I don't know how to start it. Maybe inetd starts it,
maybe courier-imap or You might start it manually?! Unfortunately I dont
have such problems You have without fam. But if You have found out
please let me know, I'm interested. :)
Anyway, this is a deficiency in the new versions of courier-imap.
There isn't some kind of --without-fam configure options, the new

/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap/Makefile says fam is disabled by default:

DRACBuild in DRAC

TRASHQUOTA Include deleted mails in the

GDBMUse gdbm db instead of system

If You take a look what the WITH_FAM macro actually does, You'll see it
only adds fam as a dependency and adds some extra cc flags, but leave
the CONFIGURE_ARGS untouched. Afaik fam can't be actually disabled in
courier-imap.
.if defined(WITH_FAM) || exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/libfam.so)
CONFIGURE_ENV= CPPFLAGS=-I${LOCALBASE}/include \
LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS}
LDFLAGS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib

I suspect but haven't been able to prove fam is somehow running, if

problems its instantly disconnected but sometimes a few messages get

mailbox, close it with messages now tagged as old, is all it takes
for Mail.app and courier-imap combination to be happy.
Likely there is the libfam.so linked, as You can see above, but that is
only a prerequisite to use famd. Famd must be running as a separate
process and courier-imap connects to famd with the help of libfam.

5.x ipdivert.ko with pf and natd?
Hello, I would like to use natd with packet filter under FreeBSD 5.4. The rc.conf man page states that I want: natd_enable=YES and that if the kernel was not built with options IPDIVERT, the ipdivert.ko kernel module will be loaded. Unfortunately, the module ipdivert.ko does not appear to exist in /boot/kernel/ ... but I do see it in 6.x filesystem. I tried building a kernel with: options IPDIVERT and that did not appear to produce the module (depends on ipfw though I want to use pf?). I do however see the source in: /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_divert.c 1. Am I overlooking the prebuilt module in 5.x? 2. Can I simply build the module on its own without a full buildkernel? 3. Given that buildkernel did not produce it, how can I produce it? Thanks!

Re: Demon license?
This is somewhat off-topic, but I'd like to point out that I'm not the one raising the issue. There have been numerous attempts on -questions to paint the advocates of a new logo as anti-Beastie. Specifically, Ted, you claim that The agitators in the FreeBSD project that want to jettison it are falling all over themselves to carefully explain how that ... really isn't so strongly identified with FreeBSD. There are no plans to jettison Beastie, and it has never been claimed that he's not associated with FreeBSD. Your making this statement is irresponsible behavior and I for one am going to block the address of anyone who continues on in this manner. The logo contest website very specifically says that Beastie will still be the mascot. From this I conclude one of: a) You have not read the website and have no idea what you're talking about. b) Are intentionally trying to start arguments (we call this trolling). c) Don't know that a mascot is a personified figure associated with something. Furthermore, you and some of those sharing your viewpoints have tried to paint those wishing for a different logo as in the extreme minority. Personally, I think it's a good idea to create for ourselves something that can contribute to a public face less open to misinterpretation while still safeguarding part of the community culture. I haven't spoken up on it so far because I saw no need to. I submit that it's entirely possible that there are many like me. Being more vocal does not make you the majority. Lastly, I would think that those in The Project are very able to make decisions like this. It is a meritocracy. Having a contest open to the public gathers opinions from the community. I wouldn't call that fascist, yet you seem to try to imply that it is. In short, take a chill pill. As to the subject of copyright infringement, allowing other Beastie-like images to be associated with FreeBSD is not copyright infringement. Gentoo's penguin is not copyright infringement. Stylized logos that are merely similar do not infringe on eachother. That's like suggesting that a professional photographer at a wedding owns all amateur wedding photos taken by friends and family attending the event. It is not a subject that is copyrighted, or nobody would be able to paint flowers anymore. It is the image itself. Any work that is arrived at independently cannot possibly infringe on another's copyright. So a redrawing of a daemon that is not a copy of Kirk's is completely legal. (IANAL.. yet.

If you block the address of anyone who continues on in this manner you simply prove my point for me - that the proponents of this anti-Beastie crusade only care what they want, not what anyone else wants.

From this I conclude one of: a) You have not read the website and have no idea what you're talking about. b) Are intentionally trying to start arguments (we call this trolling). c) Don't know that a mascot is a personified figure associated with something. This mascot argument has been brought up before and disproved before. Beastie has been treated as the Project's logo since FreeBSD 1.1 He has been referred to as a mascot - irregularly - but his image has been used as the defacto logo image for FreeBSD. Perhaps nobody that YOU might consider authoratative has ever made a blanket statement that Beastie's image is the official FreeBSD Project's Logo however that is nothing more than a semantic argument. His image has been USED as the logo on just about every CDROM pressing that Walnut Creek ever sold, and in numerous other websites and on the FreeBSD Project's website. And I am not talking about the full color images on the front of the CD jewel cases, I'm talking about the minature Beastie logo image on the back. Face the fact, Beastie is the current logo. Now, you may argue that it is time for the FreeBSD Project to change it's logo - although I have yet to see a logical reason for this - and I think I and the userbase would have some respect for this argument if you could use a logical proof. But your argument that he never was the logo to begin with is nothing more than an attempt to side-step the discussion of why do we need to change the logo now. In short, you know your arguments for making a logo change won't hold water so you would rather not have to make them - so your going to try to argue that you don't have to make them since he was never the logo to begin with This is a cowards argument and not one that will generate any respect among the userbase. And trying to argue that there's room for both a logo and a mascot is purely an argument of appeasement. There can only be one recognizable imagery for The FreeBSD Project, just as for ANY product. And the appeasement argument also totally ignores that it is the userbase's choice of what imagery they recognize as being associated with FreeBSD that is going to win. If the userbase turns it's back on the new logo that this ill-advised contest comes up with, then your going to be stuck with Beastie continuing to be used and recognized as the 'real' logo. The situation would be analogous to if one day Microsoft decided they wanted to stop using the Windows logo and the word Windows to refer to their product line. It wouldn't work because the Windows userbase would simply ignore any alternative attempt at a logo than the flying Window.

You can avoid seeing that header if you send mail that does not contain non-printable characters, or if the receiving MTA converts the mail back to an 8-bit format. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: `Content-Transfer-Encoding' SendMail
I have SendMail configured with the Smart_Host directive: define(~SMART_HOST'. `my.isp.com') since they are blocking out bound port 25. This works well. The problem I am experiencing is that all mail sent this way has the following in the email header: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I do not want to use that encoding specifically at all times. Even when set within my mail program for something else, such as 8-bit, it is still converted to the above format. What can I do to prevent this from happening? From my naive understanding of the smtp protocol I think that your sendmail and your provider's sendmail|qmail|postfix ask each other about supported encodings. When I telnet to my mail provider's port 25 and manually submit an EHLO I see a list of 250 responses. One shows me '250 8bitmime'. So I'd suggest you test this with your provider.

Re: Demon license?
Go ahead. Blocking it just shows that you are totally unwilling to consider any position different than your own. I am at least willing to continue to discuss it. No. I have no objection to your position. I have an objection to your complete lack of disrespect. You are a troll. You go on and on, misquoting, deliberately trying to confuse the issue, and just generally adding nothing to the discussion. Much like the current US President George Bush blocks his ears when people point out to him that he committed to fire whoever leaked a covert CIA operative's identity - then when it was discovered that his right-hand-man did it, he goes back on his word. Except that in that case people were pointing out facts. As you said in your email, there has been no official vote. So you have no facts. You are in effect contradicting yourself when you say that those in favor of the new logo ARE in the extreme minority, but then say there was never any tally of opinions. If you block the address of anyone who continues on in this manner you simply prove my point for me - that the proponents of this anti-Beastie crusade only care what they want, not what anyone else wants. I never said I was anti-Beastie. I'm not. I have many pieces of pro-Beastie propaganda (look the word up before you start flaming). I do however think it would be beneficial to have an image that is more abstract and more suitable to corporate customers. Corporate backing helps penetration into the market and it sometimes can result in funding. Refer please to Linux and IBM. This mascot argument has been brought up before and disproved before. Beastie has been treated as the Project's logo since FreeBSD 1.1 He has been referred to as a mascot - irregularly - but his image has been used as the defacto logo image for FreeBSD. There is nothing to disprove. It's not a formal argument. It's a statement. He will be the project's mascot. Period. There is nothing more to discuss. I have never said he *wasn't* the logo. If you think I said that, please reread my original post. Perhaps nobody that YOU might consider authoratative has ever made a blanket statement that Beastie's image is the official FreeBSD Project's Logo however that is nothing more than a semantic argument. His image has been USED as the logo on just about every CDROM pressing that Walnut Creek ever sold, and in numerous other websites and on the FreeBSD Project's website. And I am not talking about the full color images on the front of the CD jewel cases, I'm talking about the minature Beastie logo image on the back. Face the fact, Beastie is the current logo. I've never disagreed with you on this. Before. Now I will. There are generally two types of logos. There is the Official Logo which is often what you see on media packaging. This is usually a combination of words and a graphic. Those responsible for the new logo contest contend that the logo in this sense of the word is that found at http://www.freebsd.org/gifs/freebsd_1.gif. I find that I have no trouble agreeing with them. A logo is what's supposed to give you a first impression of a product. A logo is about marketing. Advertising. Viewed in this light, Beastie cannot be the logo because he does not have any direct link to the FreeBSD project, he is only associated with it. One does not see Beastie for the first time and automatically conclude FreeBSD! It is this goal that one hopes will be accomplished with the new logo. Now, you may argue that it is time for the FreeBSD Project to change it's logo - although I have yet to see a logical reason for this - and I think I and the userbase would have some respect for this argument if you could use a logical proof. But your argument that he never was the logo to begin with is nothing more than an attempt to side-step the discussion of why do we need to change the logo now. Logical proofs are intended to demonstrate truths. An action in the future is not a truth. No intelligent person would claim that FreeBSD should change its logo is a theorem to be proven by a system of postulates and axioms. By virtue of the word should it is entirely a statement of judgment. The reasoning behind this judgment is that there are many cases in which FreeBSD might have been used that it was not because some PHB didn't like Beastie. To be honest, considering corporate culture and the threat of being sued and/or required to take sensitivity classes, I cannot fault the PHB for not wanting Beastie around. In fact, if you search the mail archives you'll find people trying to get rid of the Beastie boot menu because it got them into trouble at work. Forgive my rambling. My point is: Corporate-friendly politically-correct logo = higher market penetration = more people using and hopefully contributing to FreeBSD = FreeBSD gets better whereas Current logo/mascot/whatevertheyouwannacallitidontreallygivea = Some change-resistant people are happy. In short, you

Re: Some sort of filter based filesystem
Svein Halvor Halvorsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What would be nice, is some kind of nullfs-like read only filesystem that would send all files through a configurable filter when opened. That way I could put all my music in FLAC format on hdd, and then, when I wanted to transfer some tracks to my portable player, I could grab the files from the ogg-directory. Or when I wanted to burn to CD-A, I could grab 'em from the wav-dir. Is something like this available somewhere? It's a clever idea, but not really very useful; usually a virtual filesystem approach is good when you can generate the data as needed. For something like this, you would need to pregenerate the various forms anyway, so you wouldn't save disk space. Or how about some other solution, not file system based? Scripting it would make sense; periodically scan the source directory for new files and build the alternate formats.

There are many ignoramuses out there who think themselves experts in using computers because they get an MSCE cert. There was someone in my own computer science classes who managed to pass with her four year degree without even knowing what in hell an operating system was in relation to an application. These people are out there making up the field of IT Professionals. Who exactly is qualified to decide whether or not Beastie should be the logoscot of the Project? The users who couldn't tell a source code file from a binary? The users who can configure a DHCP server without glancing at the console?

Create a small-ish / partition, a swap partition, and huge /usr partition. If you want to play with FreeBSD, that's the way to go. You can probably get away with a 40 MB / partition, 55 MB is almost certainly large enough. The two things in / that grow in normal use are /tmp and /var/log. Make /tmp either a symlink to something on /usr, or mount it as a memory disk (see mdconfig(8)). The default logging doesn't accumulate terribly fast anyway, so /var/log isn't very important. If you handle mail or do printing, /var/spool and /var/mail might grow, but usually not enough to be a major issue. The rest of /var probably won't grow enough to matter. On a 1 GB drive you aren't going to have room to do much learning no matter how little you waste in /. Maybe I should just ship you a bigger hard drive. I'm pretty sure I have a 3 or 6 GB drive around that I have no use for. Are you willing to pay shipping? FreeBSD creates a symlink from /home to /usr/home, so your home directories are in /usr anyway. That's true if you don't create an explicit /home partition. If you WANT /home to be a separate partition (makes updating easier/safer), then create it, but in this case it probably isn't desirable. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Large filesystem woes
Has anyone here had any luck whatsoever getting FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE to use 4TB of space from a 4TB RAID array? It is apparent that there is a 1TB/slice limit, and sysinstall doesn't seem to be able to handle creating more than 2 slices. I read somewhere that people recommend using gpt to manage large filesystems. Unfortunately, this tool is not to be found on the fixit floppy or the mfsroot during installation. If the server is up, gpt complains about Operation not permitted because the disk is in use. I managed to get gpt on a floppy -- along with a hand written cp/mkdir all-in-one binary because, when you use the Fixit option it does not chroot you to the fixit floppy, meaning you'll need /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and /lib/libc.so.5, because for some reason critical system utilities are built dynamically now but I am straying from the topic -- and ran gpt migrate as recommended in its man page. Now gpt no longer recognizes the the disk at all. gpt show fails entirely. gpt -vvv show lists some entries, but the sizes are all very wrong, as if they were truncated. Anyone know the specific tricks involved in getting all 4TB used, even if it has to be in 4 different slices, or am I stuck with using just 2TB? We're gonna have to go with Linux on this particular server since we need it up today but we'll be getting another one soon and I can try things there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Some sort of filter based filesystem
* Svein Halvor Halvorsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What would be nice, is some kind of nullfs-like read only filesystem that would send all files through a configurable filter when opened. That way I could put all my music in FLAC format on hdd, and then, when I wanted to transfer some tracks to my portable player, I could grab the files from the ogg-directory. Or when I wanted to burn to CD-A, I could grab 'em from the wav-dir. * Lowell Gilbert [2005-07-19 12:18 -0400] It's a clever idea, but not really very useful; usually a virtual filesystem approach is good when you can generate the data as needed. For something like this, you would need to pregenerate the various forms anyway, so you wouldn't save disk space. Why would the various forms need to be pre-generated? I can easily imagine some mechanism where my flac files are filtered through a flac decoder and into a vorbis encoder on-the-fly. The same goes for iconv conversion, image processing, etc. In fact, this is the sole purpose of my suggestion. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lost gdm screen
Or to be more precise, after an upgrade of gdm, when I log in I get an error message that the config file contains an error (or unrecognized command) and that it will use the default. I'm then presented with the default gdm login screen rather than the 'more stylish' version I had previously. What changed that the previous gdm.conf file is no longer valid?

bridging
I am going to install FreeBSD on a machine we plan to make a server. Now, we have 2 lines of internet coming to our place through 2 separate lan modems. I want the server to take these 2 lines and combine the speeds to form a single line which can be used by our lan to access the internet. I have got 3 lan cards on the linux machine. 2 for the incoming connections from the 2 lan modems which have the gateways 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.100.

Re: Sorry... newbie
I'd like to add that though it takes (quite) long to build and install the jdk (and maybe if you're on a modem also downloading can take a while), it does work very well. I use it primarily with konqueror for applets and well it just works (with all the usual quirks as on linux -- say cut and paste...) and though not really rocketing it's fast enough. I'm pretty sure that server side it works a lot better (as it seems to do on every OS). Dan On Tuesday 19 July 2005 22:53, Andrew L.

Binary packages are not available for Java for FreeBSD 5*. You'll have to build java from source code. Since FreeBSD is not allowed to distribute the source code, you'll have to download the source code manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/. Then go back to your ports directory and install the port: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13/ make install If you haven't downloaded the source code, the installation process will stop and tell you where to get the appropriate files.

Nope. Most machines are limited by their PCI bus and chipset to less than 1Gb/s of backplace bandwidth, although the higher-end boxes with multiple PCI busses or PCIe will do better.

All have ide connections (I think) that directly hook up to the chipset like this to increase performance. In the nforce products the ata controllers still appear as pci devices, but only to make it easy on the drivers (I am guessing here). I could be wrong on some of these products, but I do think most new chipsets keep hard disks off the pci bus. A stripped raid array will be faster than raid 5. You only do raid 5 if you want to have reliability with many disks and waisting have the disks with mirroring. Have you seen the IRam from gigabyte? It is not out yet, but you should google for it.

storing make options / interactive configuration
Hi guys, I've decided to store my make options in Makefile.local files in the various port directories. From what I gather this seems to be the easiest method. At any rate, when I go to make a port (or upgrade via portupgrade), the ports that have interactive options menus still show such the menu. Worse yet, the options checked are the defaults. I wonder the following: 1.) Does the fact it shows the default options mean it isn't recognizing my options, or are the options read after the menu is through (in which case I can just click cancel). 2.) Is there a way to have this menu not show up through either make install or portupgrade? 3.) Where do you guys prefer to store your make options? I've read using 'pkgtools.conf', but assume this doesn't effect 'make install', only portupgrade et al. 4.) In what order of precedence are saved options used? Particularly those saved in /var/db/ports, which only seem to be saved for a very small amount of ports (it seems perhaps even only those with interactive menus). The others would be make.conf, Makefile.local, and pkgtools.conf. Thanks in advance. I know I asked a lot, but I don't expect someone to jump in and answer everything.

My steps are: 1 vi count.txt 2 type i (for insert mode) 3 type 0 4 Esc 5 :wq Then by ls -l, I found the file's size is 2 bytes, intead of 1 byte as I expected. Then I did a similar thing in MS Windows, to create a txt file with only 1 digit in it. The behavior is expected, the file is 1 byte long. And when I ftp'ed that file to FreeBSD, the size is still correct. Why does vi in FreeBSD add 1 invisible character to the txt file?

problem with devfs
Hello everyone,
I'm a CS student, and this previous semester I took a unix class where our
teacher gave us some code for an assignment, with the goal being to compile and
install it. The jist of it was the program created a device in /dev called
voice, which would speak whatever was written to it using festival. I
thought this was kinda spiffy, and tried to install it on my system at home,
freebsd 5.3. The program tries to write to /dev, and because 5.3
uses devfs, /dev is read only, so it obviously fails. I thought that maybe using
mknod would allow me to create a device, but the man page for mknod states that
it can be used to recreate deleted device nodes under a devfs(5) mount point by
invoking it using dummy arguments, but that doesn't really help me here as the
device node never existed in the first place.
So, I guess I want to know if there's a way to override devfs, or would
I have to write a kernel module in order to get thing to install in /dev.
I don't know how to write device drivers, but I'm willing to give anything a
try. :)
what follows is the code. if anyone's interested, the code is also available
for download from my
teacher's site: http://www.emporia.edu/math-cs/simpson/bsimpson.htm
