delay after preserving editor files [Was: rsu problem]
Not your main concern but: On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 8:56 AM, Zoran Kolic zko...@sbb.rs wrote: After some hdd problems, I reinstalled and now I get another problem: boot hangs at: preserving editor files After a minute or so, it finishes the boot with this line: That just means the system went down while someone had a file open in vi, so you have vi save files in /var/tmp/vi.recover/ and the system at that moment in the start up is generating email messages to the owners of the files saying run vi -r. Solution: read your email! Run vi -r as each user that has files under /var/tmp/vi.recover/ to see what files where half-edited and then use vi -r filename on each, either saving the contents or throwing them away with :q!

Re: delay after preserving editor files [Was: rsu problem]
preserving editor files After a minute or so, it finishes the boot with this line: That just means the system went down while someone had a file open in vi, so you have vi save files in /var/tmp/vi.recover/ and the system at that moment in the start up is generating email messages to the owners of the files saying run vi -r. I found it a minute after I made a post. Sorry to bother for that. The main problem still exists. I was pretty short and did not include all details for rsu issue. It is brand new dongle, realtek rtl8191su and I installed Bergamini's firmware. If I do: ifconfig rsu0 scan I see all non hidden routers around my flat. Not mine, since I hid ssid. I set router to work on g only. I am positive dongle is not broken and that I probably do not understand the topic as I should. As the next move, I'd install wpa_supplicant and see if I could go further. What is beyond my knowledge is why I cannot get a handshake properly? Wpa2-aes is not new and I assume everybody on this list uses it regurarly. Even further, doing route show gives blank result. Since I get scan output, it shuld not be firewall issue. Any idea to go on? Best regards Zoran

I also have the symptom reported by Jean-Frangois SIMON (misc, 177504, 8 Sept 2010): Peter N. M.

The next thing in /etc/rc is the network daemon startup, and those diags don't appear on console or in /var/log/ until after /usr/libexec/vi.recover has waited out whatever it is waiting for. I'm running OpenBSD 5.0 (the amd release). Jean-Frangois wasn't. I see the script uses sendmail. I haven't configured that yet. ta Douglas
