Re: HP 4M plus network printer question
Thankyou for your suggestion. I wound up with the following /etc/printcap on my remote FBSD bos: lp|HP4M|hp|printer:\ :lp=:sh:rm=10.0.10.1:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp: where 10.0.10.1 is the IP of the printer not of the server machine. Everthing's printing fine now. But I do have another question. I'm using DHCP on the server to assign IP addresses to the hp printer, the LAN FBSD and hopefully another LAN FBSD for my kids. How do you put the IP addresses in /etc/hosts if they are assigned dynamically without having to edit /etc/hosts evertime the lease assignment changes? This problem has come up previously when I try to ping between machines using hostnames rather than the assigned IP addresses without telling the /etc/hosts files the actual IP addresses and what names they resolve to. Is there some way DHCP can be configured to pass on the FQDN to the LAN machines and in return receive the FQDN from these machines and use these names in conf files etc. even if the IP addresses change from session to session? Or am I going to have to use static IP address assignment?

Re: adding a second hard drive
Thank you for the reply. Your recommendation has worked and I now have an additional hard drive on my system. I was able to straighten out the original drive from some backups. Every challenge in FreeBSD is such an incredible learning experience. Thanks once again.

can't run /sbin commands
When I first installed FreeBSD I was able to run halt and reboot as su without the full /sbin/reboot command. After adding a new path to PATH, I've been unable to run these commands without specifying the full path. Recently I tried to install acroread 7.0 and the installation complained I didn't have Linux ABI enabled. When I check /etc/rc.conf, I have: linux_enable=YES I noticed that when the system was trying to make install the acroread port, it issued the kldstat command - then gave me the error about not having linux ABI. kldstat can only run if the full path /sbin/kldstat is invoked. Here is the output of echo $PATH: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin: /usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Dave/bin:/usr/home/Dave/apache-forrest-0.7/bin My question is with /sbin in the path why do I have to specify /sbin/reboot, /sbin/kldstat etc.? Could this be causing my make install to fail? How can /sbin be in the path and still require a full path declaration for it's commands to work. regards, Dave ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: can't run /sbin commands
Thanks Alex,
Looking at my .tcshrc file I saw the shell variable path set as:
set path =
(/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin
/usr/X11R6/bin
$HOME/bin)
but the environment variable PATH set as:
setenv PATH {$PATH}:$FORREST_HOME/bin
I removed the s and everything works fine. Acroread7 installed fine.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help.
Dave
PS. Is there some good reference to explain shell variables and
environment variables, how they're set and their lifetime.

The short answer to your question is that if /sbin really were in your
path you would be able to run programs from it, therefore /sbin is *not*
in your path. (Since you can run commands from /sbin with full path
names it can't be file permissions or deleted programs). Either that or
something else on you path is somehow messing up your shell big-time,
but that seems less likely.
You say that the problems started after you changed you path (I assume
in your .profile or whatever). So, quite simply, you must have made
some kind of mistake. I would suggest going back to the file you edited
and starting again. Comment out the PATH specification and add things
back one at a time. Assuming a /bin/sh or derivative, you can re-load
your file with
. filename
(for csh derivatives, use source filename).
After each change you make, source the changes and see if you can run
some innocuous program from /sbin such as kldstat.
