Re: Tab Stops

[Craig Wilson]

Matthew,

Thanks for the reply. Since posting this message I have discovered a 'set
ts=4' option in vi and a -x4 in more. I have also discovered that the tab
stops are hardwired at 8 columns in kern/tty.c therefore cat can only ever
use 8 column tabs unless tty.c is changed. vi was the main area where I
wanted the 4 tab spacing.

Again thanks for you assistance.


Regards Craig.

Tab Stops

[Craig Wilson]

I have a situation where I would like to reduce the tab stops from 8
character columns to 4 character columns. Any help on how to achieve this
would be most welcome.


Thanks in advance.

USB To Serial Cables on FreeBSD5.0 & 4.7

[Craig Wilson]

I have tried 2 types of USB to Serial cables on FreeBSD
One using the uftdi driver and one using the uplcom driver.

When I enable ucom0 as a login device in ttys I get the login message. I can
login and all is fine if I do not have a password. Should the system request
a password the port hangs. If I kill the login process a couple of times the
port will freeup.

With a login without a password I can login, then if I type passwd to set
the password the port will hang, the only way to unhang the port is to kill
the job & shell.

Maybe the hang has something to do with turning off the echo.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.


Regards Craig Wilson.
