Re: Did we must put the mounted partition '/' and '/boot' in the same slice ?

2005-07-07 Thread John McAree
 the following is my partitions layout, pls help to do some check:

 ad0s1d  /boot  - 30M
 ad0s1a  /  - 512M
 ad0s1b  swap - 512M
 ad0s1e  /usr - 6144M
 ad0s1f   /var - 512M
 ad0s1g  /home - 2017M
 ad0s1h  /tmp  - 512M

I believe /boot needs to be on the first 1024 blocks of the disk. Why do
you want a separate partition for /boot?

John.

Can't su from rxvt

2005-06-29 Thread John McAree

Hi,

I'm currently running:
FreeBSD chimaera 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004 FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004 #0: Thu 
Jun  2 06:12:51 UTC 2005 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386


(although the problem existed on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, also).

I use rxvt (rxvt-2.6.4_1) when in X, and I am unable to su from it for 
some reason. If I `su -` or `su`, I'm prompted for root's password, 
however the authentication fails. If I'm logged in from the console, or 
running gnome-terminal, I can su to root just fine. Also, if I use rxvt 
and ssh out (to my laptop say), then ssh back, I can su just fine.


I'm incredibly confused. Does anyone have any idea why this could be 
happening?


Thanks in advance,
John.
