Hi, I just put instead of sk0 nve0 (wich is my ethernet card). But, on boot i see that it searches for ALTQ and I saw that it can be turned on only by configuring the kernel.

Thanks, I'll try. I knew of that program, but with time I forgot it's name. I must say that freebsd works very well as a workstation, there are no viruses (am I right?), As good as right. There have been proof-of-concept viruses for UNIX, but AFAIK no one has ever been found in the wild. And most of them rely on the operator doing something stupid (like running an un-trusted binary as root). That doesn't mean FreeBSD is invulnerable though. If you're running a workstation there are several things you should do IMHO. 1) Enable one of the firewalls that are available on FreeBSD (I like pf). This firewall should be set up to block incoming connections. 2) Do not enable any services that you don't need. 3) Disable all logins that don't come from the local machine. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#sec You might find the rest of this page usefull as well. But, let me ask something. When I was configuring the mounting of usb memory sticks, I had to create the /etc/devfs.rules file and write something in it. ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html) and I did it. Everything works fine, but is it ok to create files like this if they are not already created by the system. I just followed the hanbook, but the only difference was that I had to create that file. It is fine to create those files. It is just not used by default.

I just don't get it, why is doing that! Please edit your posts to remove unneeded text, and post your reply after the section you're replying to. This makes it easier to read and respond. First, you can't use comments inside a printcap entry. Those backslashes at the end of the line are line continuation characters; the whole thing is really just one long line. Second, the default printer is usually called lp. Unless you have that, you'll have to tell lpr the printer name with -P each time you use it. Given that, here's an edit of your printcap: lp:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/zenzo:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: This requires that /usr/local/libexec/if-simple is in place and executable, too. Now you should be able to print with lpr. However, your printer still doesn't know that linefeed also means carriage return. So we'll include carriage returns with a test print: lptest 66 79 | perl -ne 's/\n/\r\n/; print' | lpr This should print one page. If it works, you're almost there. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA Hi, I configured it as you said. But, there is another problem, the printer always prints the same trash, and I can't stop it. When I sent him a pdf file it started printing trash and after a lot of restarts and stops and reboots it always prints ther same without stop.

Printer issue
Hi guys, I have now another problem. I tryed to set up my printer (HP LaserJet 6L) following the instructions in the handbook. Ok, the printer responds, but when i try to print it only takes paper and prints eventually a line of some strange signs. I set it up at first on interrupt-driven mode, then on polled-mode, but it always takes pages and i cant stop it, I tryed stopping it with lpc, but nothing. I tried with the troubleshooting section but nothing, no solution for my problem. Has anyone maybe the same printer set-up?

What are you trying to print? The LJ6L only handles ASCII text and PCL

Mounting NTFS drive/partition

Re: New to FreeBSD
hello again. I made a mistake during post install config. I put a name that I don't want for my computer, and when I logon as root it's written in the comand line. How di I change it?

Right after your first FreeBSD installation, you are certainly *not* expected to rush into rebuilding a kernel, for any reason. In fact, this could be a dangerous exercise.

Re: New to FreeBSD
Thanks, i managed to fix this by running the post install configuration with sysinstall. But I have another problem. Every time i start the system my soundcard won't work. I must tipe kldload snd_driver and then logoff and again logon in kde to get my soundcard working. How can i fix this?

Presuming by that that you mean your hostname, then that is set in /etc/rc.conf -- look for the hostname command and edit it. It is best if it has the fully qualified hostname including domain, not just the first (left-most) element of it. If you are using this machine on the net, then that hostname has to be registered with who-ever is providing DNS for you. So, whatever you set it to needs to be what is registered and matches the IP address you have for the machine. In addition, the domain name needs to be correct in /etc/resolv.conf jerry Ivan On 3/28/07, Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 2007-03-27 23:36, Ivan Zenzerovi?

But, you can get 5.5 to work if that is what you wish. And, also, I have an integrated GPU, it works well on FreeBSD? Do you mean one that is built in to the motherboard? There is a list of supported hardware in each RELEASE section on the FreeBSD web site. That is the place to look first. Some NICs and other controllers that are int4egrated on the motherboard do not work well, but I don't know which ones. You might have to get more specific with the chip identification and such. jerry Thanks, Ivan -- --- Correr, competir, eu levo isso no sangue, é parte da minha vida. - Ayrton Senna ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --- Correr, competir, eu levo isso no sangue, é parte da minha vida. - Ayrton Senna ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: New to FreeBSD
Hi, when I tried with Knoppix, the X system worked well, but with debian I had some problems. I'll try installing it on this week so I'll know everything. Thanks for your answer.

That is the latest production release. 5.5 is a legacy release. I downloaded also all availible docs. The docs are on the release CD and will be installed if you tell the install program to do so. It is a good idea to print out those parts of the FreeBSD Handbook that deal with installation and have them handy. I wondered if it is ok to start with this. What you could do is use an emulator (like VMware or the free Qemu) to do a test install on a virtual machine. Furthermore there is the Freesbie project which is a FreeBSD Live-CD that you can boot from to get a feel for the system and how it deals with your hardware. And, also, I have an integrated GPU, it works well on FreeBSD? Depends. It's not really dependant on FreeBSD, but more on the X server.
