It basically does the same as the apsfilter filter, except that the apsfilter one has support for pretty printing and direct command line printing, so % lpr foo.c or % lpr bar.png can be issued directly, no need to create a PS stream by another application. You can easily add that filter to /etc/printcap's if= setting, add rm= with the IP or hostname of the printer, prepare the spool and it should work. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com wrote:
As long as we're talking about clang, I have two questions.
1) Is there any generic reason why a port compiled with clang
won't work on a world compiled with gcc?
No, none that I'm aware of. I've occasionally seen mention of
this-or-that port causing problems if built with clang, not always
directly, but sometimes affecting other ports that depend on it.
2) If not, how do I set that up?
The standard method is to include the following in
your /etc/make.conf (also see the comments after this):
#
# use clang unless gcc is explicitly required
#
.if !defined(USE_GCC)
.if !defined(CC) || ${CC} == cc
CC=clang
.endif
.if !defined(CXX) || ${CXX} == c++
CXX=clang++
.endif
.if !defined(CPP) || ${CPP} == cpp
CPP=clang-cpp
.endif
.endif
Over a span of several months, I've gradually amassed a list of ports
I use myself which either won't build successfully with clang, or have
some sort of runtime issues when built with clang (these have a
tendency to change over time with new releases of a given port). For
these, I've added some exception lines to force them to be built
either with the base system gcc (4.2) or the lang/gcc port (4.6).
Note that these exceptions have to *precede* the previous lines in
order for them to override the above clang settings.
You can also override the clang settings at the command line by doing
make USE_GCC=4.2 (or 4.2+) or make USE_GCC=4.6 (or 4.6+), for
example. If you do do this from the command line, just be sure to be
consistent with it, i.e., you don't want to do a make USE_GCC=4.6
configure followed by a plain make or make install. Pretty much
sure to lead to trouble. :-)
Note, too, that none of these exceptions have anything to do with my
/usr/src builds. I've been using clang for buildworld and buildkernel
for quite some time now.

The difference here is that the DHCP server is in a different address block to the DHCP server, but I'm not sure that's a problem. I think that FreeBSD associates DHCP traffic with the interface its operating on irrespective of normal routing. Have you got a firewall or something else blocking dhcp from communicating?

Those error messages are pretty explicit. The one hint is that each zone file needs to have at least one NS record that uses a name for a server. That name has to have at least one A (or if you're using ipv6, but I'd suggest you stick with ipv4 until you have a clue) record that gives an IP address for the server. You can't assign your servers names in in-addr.arpa. Judging from the complaint about RR type 'Serial' you've still got uncommented-out garbage floating around. Fix all that and it'll get better. Better yet, compare what you've got against what's in the documentation and think a bit about what it *means*. The question, of course, is how did you manage to completely break this since the last go around, where I believe you had the NS records working? --Jon Radel j...@radel.com

I would like to know if the OP had checked out what IP's were being assigned to his boxes by that unit. I recently ran into a case where a user had a static IP assigned to a wireless printer. When he changed printers he could not get it to print because it was not being assigned the same IP as the old unit because he had failed to enter the new MAC address for the newer printer.

Or until elephants fly, or whatever. No. This is the common mantra for any Windows net technician. Explain why it would be so hard to configure various functions as file sharing and some of the more 'new' features for networking on Windows then? A fellow IT colleague and I could not figure it out for the life of us on the newer versions while it worked perfectly on the old '95, '98, NT, 2k, XP systems. So no, Windows does not make networking easier- in fact it has just about completely taken the guts out of networking to abstract it from the user, making it nearly impossible for a networking expert to configure. Just because an individual has a PHD does not make him an expert, in fact it could stand for Pin Headed Dope. Everyone is an expert in something, just ask them. The fact that you were not smart enough to complete the task means nothing. If we were to use your reasoning, then if a single person could not configure networking in FreeBSD then FreeBSD networking sucks. That is just using your rational. Both networking in FreeBSD _and_ Winblows can be difficult at times. My point is that Winblows is not some magical fairy that can make everything better. It doesn't. It quite often gets it wrong, and when it does its a b**ch to fix- especially now with the newer versions; it just just gets harder and harder to fix. And (forget your phd) considering both myself and the other tech have _Microsoft_ certs and I topped in networking in that same certification thats saying something, do you think? I digress. In this case we're all only speculating as the OP hasn't provided more detail, but it could be as simple as an unplugged cable :) [...] I recently ran into a case where a user had a static IP assigned to a wireless printer. When he changed printers he could not get it to print because it was not being assigned the same IP as the old unit because he had failed to enter the new MAC address for the newer printer. A simple problem that took a few hours before it dawned on him what the problem was. Actually, Windows did find the printer, CUPS couldn't.

I've heard that, but I think I'll wait until it becomes the official default. :-) I can well understand your hesitation. I didn't jump on the clang bandwagon for a good while myself, either. But, from examining and comparing clang's assembly language output against gcc's, it does seem pretty apparent that clang produces some pretty darned efficient code, frequently using notably fewer machine instructions than gcc, so I try to use it now as much as possible. I also find its error and warning messages to be much more precise and informative than gcc's, which is a real boon if you do any coding yourself. Tell me about it. I just found the real reason why libreoffice is failing when it gets to tests... :) There's that, plus the fact that the base system's version of gcc (4.2) doesn't fully support my processor family type (amdfam10), whereas clang does (although, to be fair, gcc 4.6+ does as well). Hope this helps somewhat. :-) Very much. Thank you.

Re: Access to Time Warner cable network

After 4 calls to their call center which was in the Philippines where all the people just read a scripted answer FAQ and only had the ability to remotely reset the modem. I finally requested to talk to the top support level in the USA. Finally got a tech support person who knew something about how their network was configured. Their modems at power up time run a script that is really a private LAN using 192.168.x.x to auto verify the cable modem mac address against a table of authorized accounts. At the conclusion the 10.2.0.1 dhcp server issues a real routable ip address along with the routable 2 dns ip address. Now this long duration hand shake takes about 40 seconds and on a windows system, windows keeps looping through the ip and dns acquire code until it succeeds. Now on freebsd the ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP seems to only cycle a single time and results in a no carrier status in the boot up msg log. After the Freebsd 8.2 boot process completed and I saw no carrier status i issued /etc/rc.d/netif restart command which resulted in the same status. This is when I posted to the questions list for help. It was after the post that I had my conversation with the level 3 tech support guy and learned about the long hand shake process. I next tried issuing (ifconfig fxp0 up) after the freebsd boot process completed and to my surprise I had a public routable ip address. So I have to find a way during the boot process to give the ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP statement in the /etc/rc.conf some delay time. But I think Freebsd 9.0 has an built in up process in its boot up process that may solve this problem. Another thing I learned from the level 3 support guy is that the cable modem has to be reset by unplugging it's power if I want to move the output cable to a different device, such as from the window box to the freebsd box or to a router. The bottom line is I have things working now and there was nothing wrong with either my window box or my freebsd box. Its just the Time Warner cable modem box and the non-standard way it's configured. I had my suspicions, but I had no way to actually know. Cable modems work the same here: they become 'attached' to a given mac address and have to be reset when moved to a new device. Best to use a router to save that one. Simply unplugging and plugging in the cable should have told FBSD to reconfigure that network. Providing more complete information to the list for help may have given you the solution sooner. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If they are not part of some raid system, you will have of course no redundancy should a disk fail, unless you have some other plan for that. For us, the pool is not usable if one of the drive cages fails, so its not the most reliable setup for high availability. But its a backup server, so temporary down time should a PM fail is acceptable. Individual disks of course can be swapped out as needed.
