Accessibility hardware for the blind
I'm teaching the Open Source Unix certification track at NJIT (using FreeBSD 6.2) to a group of physically challenged students. Some of my current students have extremely low vision and I have several candidates for the next rotation of the classes that have similar low-vision problems or are completely sightless. I need to know if an audio solution exists (in hardware or software) that will speak monitor output. I need something that will work independently of X windows. I've tried using gnopernicus in both KDE and Gnome and I've never gotten its audio component to work. I can turn on KDE's talking tools, but it only speaks commands and entered text in specific applications (like Koffice). I need a screen reader that will speak the entire screen (and terminal windows). I haven't found a software solution that addresses all the needs of a spoken command line environment so I'm looking for a hardware solution (appliance or device) that will speak the screen, but I haven't found one, yet. One of my students was an employee of ATT in their Unix division in NJ and is considering a job-offer from a consultant who will need him to administer servers using WebMin and a command line environment, but screen readers such as JAWS that work under Windows, do a poor job of interpreting WebMin and will not read the I/O from a terminal window created by Putty. So, in addtion to needing something that will speak console I/O, I need something that will properly interpret a Webmin environment. One portion of the course does teach using Lynx as a browser and Webmin (if one uses the simplest theme) will work in that environment. Any ideas, experiences, or recommendations that you have to share would be very much appreciated.

nvidia on am64
I am trying to get nvidia drivers for my am64 6.2 installation. The /usr/ports stuff indicates that there should be an nvidia-drivers port / package, but the system just fails when I try to install that. I found a source package on the nvidia website for FreeBSD drivers, but they don't want to compile on my box. I was really hoping that there would be binary drivers I could just pkg_add.

On bringing the machine up, I can ping both ips just fine; what I can't do is ssh to the dmz address. Yes, sshd is running inside the jail ;). The output of tcpdump shows a connect to that ip on bce0, but all responses appear to be going out on bce1. Again, any suggestions or comments are welcome and appreciated. For the record, the machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 running the amd64 6.2-RELEASE-p4 branch. I will gladly supply more info if this isn't enough. You can't bind both host and jail to the same IP.

The jail binds to bce0_alias0 (192.168.4.81). Also jails will always try to bind to bce0 interface (jail_interface=bce0). You don't need any routes if your machine acts as a gateway. All traffic from 10.0.0.0/8 will find its way to 192.168.0.0/16 through bc1 and from other net via bc0. Hopefully I didn't misinterpret your problem.

White Hat said the following on 20.05.2007 17:41:
If I build a port with debugging information; i.e.
'make -g', is that debugging information stripped out
when the program is installed? If so, is there anyway
to prevent this from happening?
I have been attempting to build 'claws-mail' with
debugging information; however, when I run the program
under 'gdb' that information does not appear to be
present. I heard that there was a 'STRIP' flag I could
set; however, I cannot find any definitive information
regarding it.
Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk in this section:
.if defined(WITH_DEBUG) !defined(WITHOUT_DEBUG)
STRIP= #none
STRIP_CMD= ${TRUE}
DEBUG_FLAGS?= -g
CFLAGS:=${CFLAGS:N-O*:N-fno-strict*} ${DEBUG_FLAGS}

As you can see, if WITH_DEBUG is defined, then $STRIP will be a empty,
DEBUG_FLAGS and CFLAGS changes too.

Hi Noberto,
I actually looked at the apache one, and it seemed so complicated, there
were 2 files for it, one of which was relatively short and the other was
significantly long.
Now dont get me wrong, they aren't beyond comprehension, but i simply dont
have the time right now to figure them out.
I dont quite see how something as simple as apachectl start is expanded
into so many lines.
It is because those scripts take in to consideration so many
possible different conditions. In addition, lines like:
# PROVIDE: apache22
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS
# BEFORE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
Deal with ordering of execution and integrating with other things.
They could be meaningful, but are probably not needed in a simple
routine like you seem to want.
The basic scheme is that the system calls the scripts in rc.d
one at a time. During startup it calls them with an argument
of 'start' and when it is shutting down, it calls them with
an argument of 'stop'. So, all you script has to do is look
for a first argument (past the script name) and check for start
or stop and possibly error if it is anything else.
Presuming you have one routine to run at startup
called /usr/local/bin/mystartuproutine
and one routine to run at shutdown
called /usr/local/bin/myshutdownroutine
and these two files have execute permission,
then something as simple as this would work.
Put this little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with
a name something like mystuff.sh and give it execute permission.
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
/usr/local/bin/mystartuproutine
;;
stop)
/usr/local/bin/myshutdownroutine
;;
*)
echo Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop} 2
exit 64
;;
esac
You might want to add some other checks and conditions such
as checking if those files exist and some niceties such as
making variables of your routine names later.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

significantly long.
Now dont get me wrong, they aren't beyond comprehension, but i simply dont
have the time right now to figure them out.
I dont quite see how something as simple as apachectl start is expanded
into so many lines.
maybe i will get some time in the near future to understand it...

Recommendations for config file revision control
Hi everyone, I'm currently setting up a new server, and I'd like to keep track of all changes made to various config files (in /etc, /usr/local/etc, and a few other places perhaps). My first thought was to setup a subversion server which would contain the partial directory structure that matches that of the server's starting at /. It would contain versioned copies of all the configuration files that I want to keep track of in their appropriate locations. What I would do then is write a hook for subversion that will issue an automatic export command (don't want .svn directories everywhere) every time a commit is made to the repository. So to edit some configuration file I would first checkout a working copy of the repository to some other location, make the change and commit it. The server would be automatically updated with the new file and I would be able to keep track of every change. This seems like a decent strategy to me, but before I go off writing the scripts and setting up the server I wanted to ask what you guys might be using to keep track of the server configuration (backups don't count)? Is there an easier way of doing the same thing, for example, eliminating the need to do a working copy checkout first? Perhaps a way to monitor certain files for changes, and automatically commit them every time a change is saved. I'd be glad to hear any suggestions you might have in this regard. If possible, I'd like all the versioned files to contain an id string, so that it's easy to determine when the file was last changed and by whom, but this is optional. For the most part I just need a way of going back to previous versions.

rt2661.bin
Which indicates it uses a Ralink Technology RT2561 chip, which is also
supported by if_ral(4) in -STABLE. I applied the patch from -STABLE to

It is bloody annoying that you have to go plowing through the drivers to see
what chip is inside.

Re: Recommendations for config file revision control
I keep track of my servers config files with CVS. Let's say I want to track a machine named 'box'. On this machine I have a working copy of the cvs module box in /root/box. I have a couple of scripts cvs-add and cvs-ci. 'cvs-add /etc/rc.conf' copies /etc/rc.conf to /root/box/etc/rc.conf and then adds it to the cvs repository. 'cvs-ci -m message /etc/rc.conf' verifies that /root/box/etc/rc.conf exists and that the two files are indeed different then makes the copy and checks it in the repository. Finally I install a cronjob which checks if the files in the working copy are indeed identical to the 'real' files they mirror. It's very simple but very handy. However I'd like to hear about alternative solutions. Regards, Thierry.

It would contain versioned copies of all the configuration files that I want to keep track of in their appropriate locations. What I would do then is write a hook for subversion that will issue an automatic export command (don't want .svn directories everywhere) every time a commit is made to the repository. So to edit some configuration file I would first checkout a working copy of the repository to some other location, make the change and commit it.

For the most part I just need a way of going back to previous versions. Thanks, Maxim Khitrov You might consider avoiding the excess labor of SVN and use RCS, since you're just tracking changes for individual files in place on one host. man rcsintro to see if this is more suitable for you. Hm... I think that while SVN would require more work initially, RCS would probably be more maintenance. The main problem I see is the requirement to execute commands on the server after each modification. This may not be always possible. With SVN I have a local copy of all the files, so as long as I'm able to commit I don't need to actually be logged in to the server. See my ideal solution would be to open a file via sftp, for example, make the change and upload it. The change is detected, the Id string is updated, and the old revision is saved. SVN is one step away from that because I need to checkout a working copy first. Also, I couldn't do all this directly on the server by just opening vi and editing the file. This solution, however, would require some sort of monitoring. I'm even considering writing a simple C app that would use gamin to track when versioned files have changed, but I don't know how well the whole thing will work. With too many files I'm afraid that this monitoring would put too much unnecessary load on the server. An alternative is to keep the server configuration files just as they are, but checkout a working copy of the repository on the server. Then a cron script could compare the two directory trees, checking contents of the files. If one changes, update the other one. Again... seems like too much work for something that should be rather simple in my opinion. I'll look a bit more into RCS, but it doesn't look like it offers anything major over subversion.

Well to be honest, I just really don't like that design. I think the metadata should be separated out from the data, and placing .svn directories into each directory of the project seems like a bad idea to me. I understand why it was done this way, but I wish that some extra effort was put in to consolidate all that information into perhaps a single .svn directory in the root of the project. That, and since they keep copies of the original files it also creates additional storage requirements, but for storing configuration files I don't really care. I did just think of another thing I could do. What if I create a new directory on the server, and move all configuration files from their original location to this directory. I then make then make it into an svn working directory, and in place of the original files put symlinks that point to the corresponding file in the working directory. This would mean that I no longer have .svn directories all over the file system, there is just one working directory that is separate from everything else. Instead of an export operation I could have the hook script do an update, and this would also give me a rather simple way of editing the files locally on the server (plus it has the advantage of quick access to all important files without having to constantly move from /etc to /usr/local/etc). Does this seem like a decent idea to try and do? Might some software have a problem with its configuration file being a symlink to some other location? devel/bazaar-ng is rather nice, and distributed vcs is very flexible.
