Re: mplayer + xmms issue!
Are you getting any sounds at all? Check in /dev to see if you even have a sound device. My guess is no. All sound drivers (I believe) are disabled initially. Check out /boot/defaults/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf. Also the Handbook has a sound card section. Most PCs have a cable connected directly from the CDROM to the sound card so CDs might play even if FreeBSD is not setup to use your sound card.

Re: info on FreeBSD
everything you wanted to know is on http://www.freebsd.org In particular check out: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html Then before you attempt an install besure to read through the handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/index.html and the faq a: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/index.html After all that if you have a more specific question feel free to ask.

There is no port for 5.x that I can find so updating your ports tree wont do much good. You can try downloading the package for 4-stable or wait for it to appear for 5.x.

Re: Cable or Dead Hard Disk
Why not try changing out the cable and see if the problem persists? Also Maxtor has a nice drive testing utility that runs from a bootable floppy.

Re: /tmp suddenly full - possible DOS hack?
It looks like your messages.0 didn't properly compress when newsyslog rolled the file. Probably due to the fact that your /tmp isn't big enough to bzip a 196MB file. In any case your /var is now full which will make anything that uses /var for storage not happy...my dhcp server suffered this problem once. As for the dos attack I would say it is likely but reading the messages.0 file will be the way to tell. Something obviously wrote way too many messages to the log file and newsyslog didnt roll it fast enough...you should find out what most of the messages contains. Then delete that monster logfile to get your system /var under control. It was because of problems like this that I now install all my systems with a single / mount. I am not certain why the multiple mounts is default on FBSD, but from what little I have read on this subject it seems to have something to do with reliability of older drives (of FS) and the protection of the kernel from corruption.

Re: XFree86 woes

All of my systems regardless of location have always been set to UTC so logs and cron are in sync across timezones. Hmm. Unix has understood the notion of 'local time' versus UTC and most programs do the right thing even if you set the timezone for the entire system-- things like ntpd will syncronize via UTC even if TZ was set in their environment. If you want to run syslogd and cron in UTC, I believe you could do so by setting something like this in /etc/rc.conf: cron_program='/usr/bin/env TZ=UTC /usr/sbin/cron' syslogd_program='/usr/bin/env TZ=UTC /usr/sbin/syslogd' This I will try. Recently I have had need to allow users to set their own timezone in the .cshrc using: sentenv TZ America/Detroit or sentenv TZ America/Denver or whatever applies. Of course, you meant 'setenv' and not 'sentenv'. yes...typo on my part. I did use setenv in the fileanything else wouldnt have any affect. But what I am finding out is that as long as the user is logged in it sets the environment for the entire system affecting log timestamps as well as cron events. Unless you set TZ in /etc/profile, it should not have a universal effect. Are you sure you didn't kill and restart syslogd as root with TZ configured to a non-UTC timezone? Apparently it only affects my log files. A bit of testing proved that it does not seem to affect cron or syslog. Root user has no TZ set as root doesn't use X or any calendar or time based applications. But it is clear that log entries are timestamped by the user who is logged in at the time. But from what I can see only logs created by actions of that user get the users local timezone in the log file. So I guess my only problem is a few strangly timestamped entries in my log file. My system doesnt generate much in the way of logs on its own so its uncertain if a user logged in really affects a log entry not generated by a user action. If not then I guess I can live with a few log anomalies. But Bad SU to Root messages would be nice to have in UTC and not the user's TZ that tried the SU. I would hate to have to lookup the TZ of the user each time I needed to know want a bad SU happened. Maybe try setting TZ only if the shell is interactive, by adding the setenv after the line if ($?prompt) then...? I will also give this a try Thanks Jason Cribbins ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
