Re: ports adding users
On Friday 13 October 2006 21:54, Lowell Gilbert wrote: The convention is, indeed, that users get UIDs from 1000 up. This doesn't seem to be explicitly described anywhere I can find at the moment, but it is implemented in adduser(8) -- and the porter's handbook requires hard-coded UIDs and GIDs to be under 1000 (but strongly recommends using pw(8) unless there is an important reason not to do so). Yes. The reality of using pw(8) at port installation time, though, is that the port-created user will get a uid above 1000 - in fact a uid higher than the highest one currently in use, so I can't even just leave a gap in uid numbering for port-created users. This caught me out. A lot of your problem, though, is that you're trying to combine the UID (and GID) space of different machines, that have collisions. The fact that some of those were created by ports isn't really important; the problem is that the UID maps were created independently and now need to be combined. No, this isn't the main problem, which is that without some serious forethought (and an awareness of the issue), installing a port can screw up my user management by (quite correctly, as you point out above) using one of ``my'' uids rather than a block set aside for ports which want a uid but don't need to reserve a specific one. More to the point, it can do this at some point in the future, when I decide to install a new port on one server and then have to remember to mark that uid as used throughout my network. I'm not sure there's a perfect solution, other than planning ahead. Agreed. I think my planning ahead is going to take the form I proposed originally, of adding an /etc/pw.conf (so that ports using pw(8) will use that configuration) forcing allocation within a given uid/gid range, and ensure that I only use numbers outside that range for real users. I mentioned this on the list because I was Astonished (in the POLA sense) to find that my human users and ports-created (effectively system) users were not separated in any way by default, indeed were jumbled together in the sequence of uids/gids. I always like to create a permanent record of things that trip me up!

skype/webcam
Hello all, If you have a webcam installed, the Skype in Windows environment allows for a video session. Does the Skype, ported to UNIX environment, have a feature to enable the video session?

Skype for windows is in ... i dont know... version 2.5 or something. the linux
version is 12.0.18 , with 1.3 still on Beta. Video was introduced in the 2.x

there *may* be a 3rd party app that may speak to the skype api to allow for
video, but i haven't heard or seen of any of the unix world.

Its almost like the entire user base is drugged or something. Linux 2.6 is not suitable for uniprocessor, nor is FreeBSD 6. The difference is that Linux scales with MP, and FreeBSD doesn't. So the case to keep 4.x as an option is an easy one to make. DT If you can one day get this through your head and stop posting false claims, people may eventually stop calling you a troll.

Re: Non English Spam
In checking this out, I came across this in man spamassassin: ok_locales xx [ yy zz ... ](default: all) This option is used to specify which locales are considered OK for incoming mail. Mail using the character sets that are allowed by this option will not be marked as possibly being spam in a foreign language. If you receive lots of spam in foreign languages, and never get any non-spam in these languages, this may help. Note that all ISO-8859-* character sets, and Windows code page character sets, are always permitted by default. Set this to all to allow all character sets. This is the default. The rules CHARSET_FARAWAY, CHARSET_FARAWAY_BODY, and CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADERS are triggered based on how this is set. Examples: ok_locales all (allow all locales) ok_locales en (only allow English) ok_locales en ja zh(allow English, Japanese, and Chinese) Note: if there are multiple ok_locales lines, only the last one is used. Select the locales to allow from the list below: en - Western character sets in general ja - Japanese character sets ko - Korean character sets ru - Cyrillic character sets th - Thai character sets zh - Chinese (both simplified and traditional) character sets Robert Huff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However I'm not so expert in kernel to make something useful out of it.
Can anyone help?
The only thing I understand is that it seems to have something to do
with USB, but I can't explain why. Maybe because I've got USB keyboard
and mouse?

canary mismatch on efree()
Hello, I'm running Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) and PHP/4.4.4 with Suhosin-Patch. All of a sudden I get this in my log: [Sat Oct 14 19:54:32 2006] [error] ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow or double efree detected (attacker '192.168.1.4', file '/www/vhosts/asarian-host.net/htdocs/phpMyAdmin/index.php') This is not good. If a simple thing like phpMyAdmin causes it, then I will have to disable the Suhosin-Patch (which propably means recompiling from scratch, right?). Barring such drastic action, does anyone have a clue how to solve this? Or what's causing it even.

Removing Giant from a driver

how to connect a modem to the PS2 port?
I am using a laptop as a server, and need a second serial port on it. I'd love to use the psm0 port (I know it is an RS232C serial port) connected to a modem, but I am guessing the the psm driver is getting in the way. It is hard to ask the right question in Google. Anyone know how to use the PS2 port as a simple serial port? I never use a mouse on this machine.

Re: how to connect a modem to the PS2 port?
The PS/2 port is not a RS232 serial port. It is a serial port, but it is specifically designed for a PS/2 mouse serial protocol, that has nothing to do with RS232. Your going to have to do what the rest of us do and use a USB to serial port adapter.

Re: Boot2 loading process
Thanks for the reference Jerry, you are right, from the docs: boot0: saved into MBR, loads boot2 (the boot1 being the floppy version of it) But still, according to the docs, boot0 loads only 512 bytes of it.

Startkde is a script, if you go through it and check the permissions on what it's calling up, it may give you a better idea of where the problem is. When you find the problem, and I'm sure you will, it's probably going to be something so easy that you'll be kicking yourself for not seeing it.
