MPD5 + dhclient: Problem adding dns and search domain
Hi list, I finally managed to establish a PPTP VPN connection to my employer using mpd5. My problem now is that in order for the setup to work properly I need to supersede search domain and dns'es in /etc/resolv.conf either by hand or by editing dhclient.conf. If I use dhclient.conf the VPN stuff is added way too soon, as I don't want to run mpd5 all the time, and consequently do it by hand. A couple of things slow down noticeably when being unable to reach the search domain. I can't imagine I'll have to edit resolv.conf by hand every time - also it's being overwritten once in a while anyway - probably by the dhcp daemon.

Hi Paul I just spent about a week solving that very same issue. The thing is that in order for the usb mouse and keyboard to work during the initial boot sequence, ps/2 style devices are needed, so your bios is probably configured for simulating ps/2 (legacy) devices on usb. Keep it that way! As the kernel boots, usb devices are suddenly supported, but present ps/2 devices (even the simulated legacy ones) will hide the usb devices from the kernel, so in order to get access to these the following lines must be added to /boot/device.hints: hint.atkbd.0.disable=1 hint.atkbdc.0.disable=1 I understand that only one of them is needed, but I have no idea which one. It supposedly differs from machine to machine. The last crucial point (and the one I really fought with) is the fact that not all usb ports are created equal! If the above doesn't work, try switching usb ports. It seems some usb ports/hubs are preferred over others. On my machine the two front ports work, but the six ports on the rear of the machine don't :o( At least it works now, and I no longer need to have two keyboards attached. br - N :o) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does the ALT_PKGDEP section of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf help ?
(from UPDATING)
Example of ALT_PKGDEP section:
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'www/apache13' = 'www/apache13-modssl',
'print/ghostscript-afpl' = 'print/ghostscript-gnu',
}
This should let you specify in pkgtools.conf
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'sysutils/cdrtools' = 'sysutils/cdrtools-cjk',
The above entry is already there. Do I need to do anything in particular
to reinforce it??
}
so any dependancies on cdrtools will be rewritten to use cdrtools-cjk
