/dev files keep no permissions
Hi Daemons, I wonder whats wrong there: I need to change the permissions from /dev/speaker 600 to /dev/speaker 666 --all works ok. Then I reboot the computer and the permissions of the file is back to 600. How to make it permanent? Is is normal that /dev files do what they want?

Re: /dev files keep no permissions
Thanks Manolis, works perfect now! FreeBSD has the safest speaker access in the universe it seems. Even the speaker-beeping user should be member of a group to do so..

Yes :) The /dev filesystem is dynamic, it is recreated at every boot. For your setting to persist, enter it in /etc/devfs.conf The examples in there will help you out, although probably this is the line you need: perm speaker 0666 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Xorg - how can I configure this thing??
Hi Daemons, I am stuck with a fresh installation, FreeBSD 7.2 with the usual X Server environment.. Usually I invoke xorgconfig to set up the hardware I have, like mouse driver, monitor frequency, resolution and so on. The new X server 1.6.0 seems to have some sort of autoconfig. I compiled the /usr/ports/X11-wm/fluxbox - it installs the X Server with Fluxbox. Then I type startx. The twm windowmanager shows up, but accepts no input. Mousepointer stuck, no key input. I cannot even create a /etx/X11/xorg.conf file by invoking ./xorgconfig .. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody give me a hint in the right direction?

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] maildrop and postfix - temporary authentication failure
Is there anything in the instructions about the gid or uid? Maybe there is something wrong. Just an idea.. herbs On Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 04:21:20PM +1000, Da Rock wrote: I'm really about to throw this damn server through a closed window (or better yet a brick wall). I've searched high and low on google for a straight answer, and any references in mailing lists give an answer of read the INSTALL file (as if thats supposed to solve everything). I have virtual users for email in postfix, and I want to use maildrop to deliver to the virtual mailboxes. Problem is, when it does use maildrop it shows an error in the logs as the subject line says. I've tried everything, checked everything. That supposed magic solution in the INSTALL file says only ONE thing needs to be set to get it to work. Maildrop is owned by root and group is mail. The socket is rwx globally (all this is set by the port install). The executing user for pipe in postfix is vmail. I've installed the port with authlib and gdbm (even manually adjusted the makefile to ensure --enable-userdb). Nada. The generally consensus is that it should work out of the box- so what the hell am I doing wrong? Where should I be looking? Specifically: what is not authenticating? I can manually test maildrop ok.

Re: Default config for claws-mail
I use sylpheed with bogofilter. If I understand the combination right they are seperate programs, bogofilter is a program what gets invoked by sylpheed (or Claws in your case). Install the bogofilter port and try again. You can invoke bogofilter from the command line to see it is there and works. There are probably some settings required, but bogofilter works excellent.

Re: Firefox 3
Yes, you invoke #firefox (the V2.x) or #firefox-devel (for the new one). Dont remember with the bookmarks and plugins though, you maybe have to import/reinstall these. Cheers herbs I took firefox-devel. Some days ago it was version 3.0a2. Works quite well if you really dont want to wait..

Re: to scsi or not to scsi
I have a SCSI controller, two cd-rom drives and the external tape streamer on my workstation. No SCSI harddisk anymore. A 18 or 36GB harddisk is likely to be the SCSI-2 standard, this is the controller I have. In the past it was quite a speedy interface, but I guess even the older ATAs outperform it nowadays. The only thing what speaks for SCSI is up to 8 devices on one contoller and the fact that the disks 'speak' directly to each other. In my case, I can duplicate cd to cd without using much of the processors time. Well, this is more of technical interest but practical use. In a server it is a good thing if you have seperate ../mail and /tmp and /home directories on different disks--SCSI will be fast then. You can get the disks cheap, there cannot be much wrong. Just be aware that most of the SCSI disks were used in servers, they really were running day and night, are just worn out and this is what you often find on fleabay. If I had a single-hd workstation I would rather go for ATA or SATA.

Re: FreeBSD-like linux distro?
Also Slackware has a rather Unix-like concept. The versions until 11 (if I remember right) still run on the 2.4 kernel and have an option to install without X11 and KDE and such. I still use it on a slow server, it is easy to understand when you come from BSD-land.

Re: Recommendations for djvu and bittorrent
If you want a small torrent daemon running in the background then give bitflu a try. It is also present in the ports collection. Needs a little time to configure it but its a nice little program.
