termcap and TERM detection
The secondary screen functionality on my xterm (rxvt-unicode) was acting strangly. So, following the advice at: http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html I added an rxvt-unicode termcap entry to my termcap file and ran cap_mkdb. After login, I'm able to 'setenv TERM rxvt-unicode' and everything works perfectly. However, when running urxvt initially, it detects the $TERM as 'rxvt', not 'rxvt-unicode'. How is the $TERM variable determined by the system? Is there a way to detect my new termcap entry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could also consider modifying the Makefile and rebuilding the port. Malcolm Kay Brilliant. Thanks much.

Re: Help me ObwanKnobi your my only hope.
Taken from the vsftpd website FAQ: Q) Help! Does vsftpd support bandwidth limiting? A) Yes. See vsftpd.conf.5 man page and investigate settings such as anon_max_rate and local_max_rate. (That is, install vsftpd and run man 5 vsftpd.conf. Alternately, read the HTML version at http://tinyurl.com/5qnd5 .) Never tried this myself, but I've heard good things about vsftpd in general.

Re: Good mail combo
I've had nothing but success with Postfix on FreeBSD, and Squirrelmail seems like a decent program (although I've only run it on Linux). My friends and neighbors have had more success with Courier-Imap than with Dovecot, but I can't make a personal recommendation one way or another. Cyrus is probably overkill for 30 users, but might be good practice if you're planning on larger deployments in the future.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I'm curious to see if you've had any success with the solutions offered so far. I'm having similar issues with Firefox 0.8 in KDE 3.2 on 5.2.1: the browser hangs at random times when attempting to resolve hostnames. I thought it was some weird reverse-dns issue, or maybe something to do with the fact that I'm forced to use an unofficial driver for my NForce2 NIC (net/nvnet -- http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/). But then, like you wrote, Lynx works just fine. I've tried ifconfig the media type with no success. (Anyone?) Evan On Saturday 08 May 2004 10:31 pm, Dragoncrest wrote: Still looking for answers.

What happens is I'll be surfing around and suddenly I'll hit something and I can't go forward, I can't go back, I can't go anywhere. It just sits there saying resolving host whatever.com and does this for like 30 seconds, then finally it resolves it and continues on. Then it'll gag again on something else in the page as it's loading and do that all over again. Then I might be fine for another 5-15 minutes before it does it again. When this happens I can jump into a console either via KDE or control-alt-f1 and I can surf all I want to using lynx, I can resolve sites, I can telnet, or do whatever I want. But my browsers just sit there and look stupid. Is there something I'm missing? What could be causing this. It's been occuring periodically before this, but it's really gotten bad now. So far all I can tell that's affected is Mozilla and Firebird. Any ideas guys? Oh, yes. I did test this in Konqueror and it's doing the same thing in there too. So the issue is not unique to just Mozilla and Firebird. But from what I can see, not much else is affected on the network level. Is there ways I can test things in KDE that might give me some more information as to what's causing this? Or is there some network setting somewhere that I should look at? Maybe something that might affect my ability to surf smoothly? I know it's not my internet connection because I can surf just fine in my windows box that sits right next ot it on the same net connection.

Re: Ports Index Update Error - mail/lmtpd Failure
I ran into the same issue. I found two solutions that worked. Neither is
very pretty.
1. Realizing that I would never install lmtpd, I simply commented out the
lines in the makefile pertaining to DB3. The Makefile ended up looking like
this:
# .if defined(WITH_DB3)
# LIB_DEPENDS+= db3.3:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db3
# CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-db3=${LOCALBASE}/include/db3 --without-db4
# .else
# CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-db3
# .endif
.if defined(WITH_DB4)
LIB_DEPENDS+= db4:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db4
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-db4=${LOCALBASE}/include/db4 --without-db3
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-db4
.endif
Why this sucked: I had to hand-edit the Makefile everytime I cvsuped the ports
directory.
2. Realizing that DB3 was a 'leaf package' (nothing depended on it), I simply
ran 'pkg_deinstall db3' at the command line. You check dependancies by
running 'pkg_info -a | grep -A 15 db3' at the command line. Look for a
Required By: line. As a safeguard, pkg_deinstall won't let you remove db3
if it's required by other packages.

Was unsucessful at upgrading my ports system Saturday due to a

received an error message stating that mail/lmtpd file failed.
The upgrade process is fairly basic beginning with a backup of
/var/db/pkg, followed with pkgdb -Fv, cvsup -g -L 2 -z cvsupfile,
and then portsdb -uU. The error ocurred during the index update
and a message followed describing the error stating Makefile,
line 47: You cannot use DB3 and DB4 in the same time.
I located line 47 in the Makefile but didn't recognize any
error. I also ran pkg_info to track down the lmtpd package
but didn't find it.
Not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated.
