Vim, system locale and digraphs
I'm having fun and games getting vim to play nicely with my system locale. It did once work, however I have no backup state to restore from: The problem: I cannot get vim to input and use both accented characters and the euro symbol. If I set encoding to latin1, it will happily input accented characters, but not the euro symbol. If I set encoding to iso-8859-15, it will happily input the euro symbol, but not accented characters. When I say input, I mean using the CTRL+K+digraph. Vim will happily display all the symbols: MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-15 LANG=en_GB.ISO8859-15 Regards, Richard Jones -- Richard Jones MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Y!M: rwkjones http://www.jonze.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From kldload's man page:

/boot/kernel directory containing loadable modules.
Modules must have an extension of .ko.
This having been said, it _does_ look in /boot/modules as well.
I'm able to load a module from either directory without
specifying the full path and / or extension and without either
directory being my current working directory on 6.1-RELEASE.
What's the problem you're actually having? What version of

Yes, sorry, that wasn't the most infomational email.

Files left over from a installworld
Hi, I've been continuously upgrading my machine from (I think) RELEASE-4.8, and I'm beginning to see lots of cruft from older releases accumulating. What are the list's feelings on deleting the majority of files listed by: find / /usr -xdev -mtime +7 There are plenty there that I created or belong the packages e.g. /etc/mail/$HOSTNAME.mc and /etc/X11/XFConfig but what about, for example: /etc/netconfig /etc/pam.d/ftpd /etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks /etc/amd.map /sbin/ip6fw /sbin/ilmid /lib/libdevstat.so.4 /lib/libutil.so.4 /rescue/ipmon Obviously dollops of common sense are needed, but has anyone attempted to formalize this type spring cleaning?

Disk repair

OpenSSH, Kerberos and RedHat
Hi, I'm trying to get OpenSSH with Kerberos5/GSSAPI authentication up and running in an heterogenous environment, but having problems. I'm running a vanilla FreeBSD-5.4p1 box as the KDC. I have another FreeBSD-5.4 box, and a RedHat ES3 box running as a test client/server. kinit works fine on both boxes. PuTTY patched with Kerberos support works fine as a client to both boxes (and obviously has no problems with the KDC). Each box can negociate a login to itself However neither can talk to the other. I first recompiled the stock RedHat OpenSSH with the gss tag change to allow it to compile against GSSAPI. However this did not work, I believe, as this was an older package patched to provide gssapi, and not the newer gssapi-with-mic. This did not work. So I tried a more recent RPM: openssh-3.9p1-8.0.2.src.rpm compiled with the tag change to use gssapi-with-mic.

I would start by saying that a router/firewall traditionally has very low requirements compared with other computing tasks (gaming, development). In our office here, rather than buy a dedicated firewall router, I built a Linux and then FreeBSD machine for a firewall. It's a P100 with 48M RAM and a 1Gb HDD. It's load average rises slightly above zero when I log in and otherwise not at all. It services about 30 people with a 1Mb link, and mixed 10Mb, 100Mb internal service subnets. If *all* you are doing is routing and firewalling, then you will not need so much RAM, the processor speed will depend to some degree the complexities of your firewall/NAT tables, and the speed of your network connections. Bear in mind though, before you starting splashing out on processors, that your PCI bus is limited in its bandwidth (33Mhz?). For resilience, I would recommend mirrored drives, but they need be no larger than your install - 1GB should do as you won't need source, X etc. They don't need to be fast either, once the firewall's up and running everything will sit in memory. doing a fiber solution. So if anybody has some fiber specific Now this could make a big difference. Running several Gb NIC cards might start to test your PCI bus and possibly processor.
