random lockups
good morning. I'd like to ask which list should i use to discuss my stability issues on a 6.1-RELEASE-p10. it should be a productive system, but sometimes randomly locks up. we cannot do any network communication with the box this time, nor the console shows anything, it's simply blank. no crash dumps are left after these lockups and also nothing is in the system logs.

Now I just did # pkg_info |grep firefox which gave TWO matches, one was 2.0_r2,1 which I have previously built with disabling vuln, later I upgraded to 2.0_1,1. For some reason the 2.0_2r,1 had not been deleted completely I guess, and after deleting it with pkg_delete, there are no longer any warnings.

FreeBSD 6.1 Japanese ISO9660/Joliet and locale ja_JP.UTF8 problems
Hallo everyone, On my FreeBSD 6.1 workstation, I have the following problems when mounting CDs/DVDs containing Japanese file names which were burned on Japanese Windows XP (SJIS, Multi-byte extended Joliet). If I mount them normally (mount -t iso9660 /cdrom), file names are garbled (ls shows ?, etc). If I mount them using mount_cd9660 -C SHIFT-JIS, and then pipe the output from ls through nkf (ls /cdrom | nkf -Sw), the file names are displayed correctly. Naturally, this work-around is not satisfying, and I would like to keep my locale set to ja_JP.UTF-8. Playing around with different locales when mounting did not work out either. Does anyone here know how to fix this?

Josh The command line I'm using is a variation of the following: qemu -cdrom /opt/win2k.iso -hda /opt/c.img -m 256 -boot d -win2k-hack First I tried to boot directly from CD. Also I used QCOW disk image but QEMU crashed at a very early stage (before Win2K installer kicked in). Now I'm using RAW disk image and QEMU actually runs up to after initial Win2K installer reads device configuration files. What might be wrong and how to fix it please ? Cheers, Martin PS: QEMU is freshly installed from ports on FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE. hi, i tried that win2k option and qemu still fails with or without it. :-/ i loaded up aio(4) module and while displaying the following ... Nov 12 01:24:38 mb-aw1n-bsd kernel: WARNING: Network stack Giant-free, but aio requires Giant. Nov 12 01:24:38 mb-aw1n-bsd kernel: Consider adding 'options NET_WITH_GIANT' or setting debug.mpsafenet=0 ... it actually helped my case and now i'm curiously installing winblows.. ;o) many thanks !! martin ps: i'm cc-ing the lists for archives. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have an old Compaq Presario 1692 that my sister-in-law gave to me after she upgraded. I installed FreeBSD 6.1 and everything is working fine. However, the laptop also came with a Belkin Wireless G (F5D7011) notebook card, and I would like to learn how to install the appropriate drivers for the card to work. I am new to FreeBSD, and have glanced at the Handbook section dealing with wireless. It's a little daunting at this time, and I haven't yet been able to make sense out of it with respect to this laptop and wireless card. Any help in making the process understandable would be much appreciated. Rem Can you post the dmesg? Assuming that particular device has a working driver, you can probably use ifconfig for most of the wireless settings. -Damian http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-i386.html#WLAN This indicates the ed driver works for this card. I don't think so :) There are _no_ Belkin cards listed in the WLAN section of that page. In any case, isn't ed for ethernet nics? -Damian yes my bad :( Posting the dmesg output was a good suggestion. If there is anything useful, the guys on this can help interpert it. If the link to the hardware section does not list your card as I thought the ed driver did, try [EMAIL PROTECTED] man -k wireless will give you at least a partial list of the wireless drivers. If you can match the chipset, you can pick the correct driver. Sometimes the Linux lists are good sources of information because they also use Xorg. As a last resort, I am pretty sure there is a wrapper that will run windows drivers.

signal design questions
Hi all, I have some questions. (1) I know how to delivery of a signal to a process. 1. The kernel places a signal context on the user's stack.(user level) 2. The kernel places a signal-handler frame on the user's stack.(kernel level) 3. The user's signal handler returns to the sigtramp() routine, which pops the signal-handler context from the user's stack.(user level) 4. The sigtramp() routine finishes by calling the sigreturn system call. But, why don't implement signal handler routine in kernel level? Are there having any ideas to implement signal handler routine in kernel level? (2) The system-call exit code first checks for a posted signal and check to see whether any process has a priority higher than that of the currently running process. But, I don't know the signal be checked when returning from kernel mode to user mode. Anyone have any other methods to checked the signal in the other occasion ?

Re: Sendmail Smarthost Auth
Well Giorgos, For starters the advice in that section is wrong for 2 reasons: pwcheck_method: passwd does not work on sasl2 and FreeBSD 6.X You don't want to use sasl1 for many reasons, you want to use sasl2 define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl is deprecated. Fortunately the section has the link for the Sendmail auth which has better directions. Note: ... Notice: the default 8.12 configuration file causes the option DefaultAuthInfo to fail since the ruleset authinfo is in the .cf file. If you really want to use DefaultAuthInfo (it is deprecated) then you have to remove the ruleset. DaemonPortOptions (DAEMON_OPTIONS()) has now suboptions (called modifiers), one of which is `a'. This tells the daemon to require authentication for all connections to it. ... I think it's been a while since you used that section to setup SMTP AUTH. Note also the poster wants to know how to make his Sendmail auth into another mailer, he doesen't want to setup his own system to accept auth connections.
