wrong manpage for groups(1) and id(1)?

2003-07-08 Thread Martin Klaffenboeck
Hello,

From the id(1):

The historic groups(1) command is equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''.

From the groups(1):

The groups utility has been obsoleted by the id(1) utility, and is 
equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''.

martin% uname -a
FreeBSD martin.kleinerdrache.org 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #3: Sun 
Jun 22 21:36:41 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/
usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386

So there is my output:

martin% id -Gn
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse
martin% groups
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse
seems to be aequivalent, but:

martin% id -Gn martin
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse mounters
So, mounters is a new group which I created with root.  When I do not 
log out as the user martin, I get this error.

The question is:  Why this behaviour?

And:  What can I do to make martin recognizing the new group without 
logging out (and in)?

Martin

fstab spezial

2003-07-07 Thread Martin Klaffenboeck
Hello,

Is it possible to make an fstab entry which matches to all users?  
Something like:

/dev/fd0 ${HOME}/floppy msdos   dev,rw,noauto   0   0

But this does not work, and I couldn't find the correct one in the 
documentation.

Thanks,
Martin

I don't believe it's possible.

Look at scripting in the user's login script, or (probably easier) 
just
symlink each users ~/floppy to /floppy and mount the disk on /floppy.
Yes, that would be a good idea, the problem is, it is not possible to 
mount on /floppy from a user because it isn't own by a user.

I want to have a mechanism where some different non root users can 
mount a floppy (and a cdrom, but lets start with a floppy) which are 
all in the same group.

And it should be easy with an fstab entry.

How would you do that?

Martin

Scanner dosn't work...

2002-10-23 Thread Martin Klaffenboeck
Hello,

I'm using a Epson Perfection 1650 Photo Scanner (usb).  Everything
worked fine until my mainboard didn't work anymore.  So I bought a new
mainboard, and now I cannot get my Scanner working.  The new board is a
Elitegroup ESC board with the number K7S5A.  Maybe someone knows this
board?

My troubles are here:

I can start xscanimage correct, and it works for about one picture,
sometimes to or more.  But then it stops and I don't know why.  I have
to kill xscanimage (with xsane it's the same) and then the scanner seems
to disapear from my computer.

No fstat message, but it could not be found anymore.

In the bios I found only 2 entrys where I tryed all the possible
combinations of enabling and disabling usb.  But it's every time the
same.

So I'd like to know:  Can I use my scanner with this board under
FreeBSD?

Du I have to set up something else in my Kernel config?
I don't have any other usb devices, so I could try if there is something
wrong with usb...

Can someone help me?

Martin
