Resolvconf with FreeBSD jails
FreeBSD 9 uses resolvconf tool to manage the resolv.conf file. How can I make it working with FreeBSD jails? In my case I am moving my laptop between networks and every time I boot FreeBSD it gets assigned a different DNS server. The file /etc/resolv.conf gets updated but the same file in each of the jails is not. I need resolv.conf in each jail in order for that jail to connect to the external network. I tried to make a link from resolv.conf in a jail to the same file in the host system, but inside jail the link doesn't work. I could copy the resolv.conf every time I boot FreeBSD after the DHCP obtained new DNS and updated resolv.conf but before ezjail starts any of the jails, but where I would need to put such copying? ___ 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"

Also it is very hard to follow you: putty vs xterm vs cygwin; dont forget that your terminal may use terminfo instead of termcap . Further to my previous email, I've spotted my mistake and wanted to clarify it. I am not using xterm under cygwin but rxvt. Sorry about that. So basically I connect to my remote FreeBSD server using a physical terminal from Windows (either putty or rxvt on cygwin), and then I run emacs on that server and expect it to be able to show 256 colors on the Windows terminal. For that I reconfigured putty/rxvt to report the (logical) terminal type as xterm-256color. That didn't work so I tried to redefine the TERM environment variable on my account, but that didn't work either. The problem seems to be with the Co value defined for the xterm terminal type, because 'tput Co' shows 8 instead of 256 for all physical/logical terminal configurations. I hope now it is clear what I am running where. ___ 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"

It will be auto-assigned to me :) If you haven't seen my response to the other email in the thread, then the progress is that I should be using tput Co, not tput colors. I tried all these configurations mentioned in my email and I see that tput Co always reports 8, regardless of what tput colors reports. That might be explaining the problem with emacs. Now, why tput reports 8 even if the (logical) terminal is defined as xterm-color or xterm-256color?

Also it is very hard to follow you: putty vs xterm vs cygwin; dont forget that your terminal may use terminfo instead of termcap . Have you seen the termcap file in FreeBSD? It is a quite complicated mess with aliases everywhere, xterm defined a dozen of times in different places and various Co values for each of them. I wouldn't know where to change it without screwing everything up. Besides that, why normal scripts can show all these colors and emacs has a problem with it? But you was right, tput Co shows only 8 colors, regardless of what tput colors shows. Many thanks for that hint! Regarding putty vs xterm vs cygwin: xterm(-color/-256color) is just the logical definition of the terminal and is independent on on the program used as the physical terminal. For instance both putty and xterm (under cygwin) can be configured to report the terminal type as xterm-256color or any other terminal available (and if not, the TERM env variable can be redefined). But I am sure you already know that. Because I am logging from Windows I can't use xterm natively, so I tried it under cygwin. But it shouldn't matter
