Re: tmux send command to all panes
Hi Do you mean tmux commands or typing? There is no way to specify multiple panes/windows/anything to a single tmux command at the moment. You can do most things with a shell script though. A few people have suggested some abilities along the lines of omnitty or clusterssh but I'm not sure it is a good idea, or of the best way to do it right now.

With about 10-20 second intervals, either single key presses are lost or a key press is repeated 5-10 times.

I'm waiting for step by step advices. It would be good idea to make suitable issue in the FAQ. Here are the steps you asked for: * read sb(4) and notice that your hardware is not completely full-duplex in 16-bit mode: With a SoundBlaster 16 card the device is full duplex, but it can only sensibly handle a precision of 8 bits. It does so by extending the out- put 8 bit samples to 16 bits and using the 8 bit DMA channel for input and the 16 bit channel for output. * read aucat(1) and figure out how to start it in play-only server mode -l Listen for incoming connections on Unix domain sockets. This al- lows clients to use aucat instead of the regular audio(4) device for audio input and output in order to share the physical device with other clients. The default socket name is default but other names can be used with the -s option. -m mode Set the server mode. Valid modes are play, rec, and duplex, for play-only, record-only, and full-duplex, respectively. The de- fault is duplex. Hint: you probably need ``-l -m play'' * start it, and play any file to check that it worked, possibly read again aucat(1). Hint: -i file Add this file to the list of files to play. If the option argu- ment is `-' then standard input will be used. * if it still doesn't work, search in the archives and see if anybody else has the solution of the same or related problems * if it still doesn't work, check whether related problems were solved in -CURRENT, possibly try -CURRENT * if it still doesn't work, send a *friendly* e-mail to the list showing that you've read the manual, that you understand the manual, that you have done what's explained in the manual. * possibly share the solution you've found, possibly improve the FAQ. To summarize, just type: $ aucat -l -m play and check that it works: $ aucat -i whatever.wav -- Alexandre

Well, if fsck can't revive your partition, you can always try different tools. Something like fsdb may be able to recover part or all of your filesystem even in cases where fsck loses the plot. There is also the Sleuth kit. And if all else fails, you can always write your own software/grep through the raw disk/etc. fsck is great at what it does, but it's not the only game in town. Needless to say, restoring from backup is easier than reconstructing a filesystem from a hex dump of the disk. But sometimes you don't have backups... Joachim
Re: Bluetooth (rfcomm_sppd) problem
Tried that now, all three modes and also tried the plain serial port SP service. No luck...

Have got the phone paired with the computer by starting up sdpd and searching for devices with the phone, yet as I try to connect with rfcomm_sppd, it gives Connection timed out and the paired computer disappears from the phone. Tried deleting all the config files mentioned in the btconfig/sdpd/bthcid man pages without further success. The channel 2 for DUN is correct, that works with BlueZ under Linux. Have also tried the BT stick on my Linux machine and it also works.

Before advice it to eveyrone, make sure that everyone have suitable skill. But first of all, complete the FAQ. You are not in a position where you can command anybody to do anything. Every respectable project must have good FAQ. Current FAQ not so bad, but something missing there. My hardware works perfectly on FreeBSD 4.11. yippee-ki-yay for FreeBSD 4.11!!! I do not understand what you mean. Do you have something against FreeBSD 4.11? It's very easy, if you prefer FreeBSD then use FreeBSD. Currently I'm look at an OpenBSD, before choose suitable OS. You are not in a position to advice me which one OS should I try. However, you can to thank me for my bug reports and proposes, of course, if you are aim to make OS better and understandable for new users. Otherwise, you will get 'Device busy II'.

Configuring Dovecot to run with MySQL
Hello, Sorry for bothering you with this however I am having difficulties with dovecot and mysql. Both are individually installed and Mysql is actually running well. I could not make a correct config file of dovecot, it simply makes fatal error at the time I try to start Dovecot. If someone has properly configured dovecot.conf with running along with mysql as accounts database, would the file be sent to me as an example or some help be given please ? Thank you
Would a consolidated greytrapping list be useful?
I suppose everybody here knows what greytrapping is and why no spamd setup is really complete without at least Bob Beck's uatraps in its config. But then some of do our own local greytrapping, and I for one have been exporting the contents of my local-greytrap once per hour to a publicly accessible location for the benefit of anybody who wants to use the information. I assume there are others out there who do their own greytrapping, and it might be a good thing for all of us if the data generated at those various locations was made available to others. The data would likely overlap quite a bit with established sources such as uatraps and nixspam, but more likely than not we would be catching a few that would otherwise slip through the cracks. So I'm considering setting up a consolidated greytrap list to supplement uatraps and others, if other greytrappers out there are willing to share their data. My list is available at [1], with a the list of trap addresses and some description at [2], with a policy statement of sorts at [3] (I imagine I would require a similar statement from any participants), and various field notes available at my blog (see the signature). Would something like this be useful? Any comments and feedback (including why this would be a monumentally stupid idea) welcome. - Peter [1] http://www.bsdly.net/~peter/bsdly.net.traplist [2] http://www.bsdly.net/~peter/traplist.shtml [3] http://www.bsdly.net/~peter/traplist_ethics.html -- Peter N.
