Unfortunately, the semantics of -r and -R options of pkg_info is the opposite of the semantics used by pkgtools (such as portupgrade/portinstall, pkg_glob and so on). Eugene Marek Denis wrote: On Tue, Dec 12, 2006 at 05:55:40PM -0500, Dino Michailidis wrote: portupgrade -r will also

Capturing Parallel Port Data

2006-12-14 Thread Mr CW
Hi Guys, I have been reading the ppi man page and have searched Google but have not found an answer to my problem: I work at a business which uses cable testers that output plain text to a dot matrix printer (any old DMP will work). (Cirris cable testers) The paper trail is getting huge so

Re: Capturing Parallel Port Data

Now, my real question is: how do I read data from the parallel port on the FreeBSD computer that is coming from the tester which is trying to 'print' to the FBSD computer's parallel port? Is there a did you try to set LPT0 mode to bi-directional in the BIOS, and then `cat /dev/lpt0`?

Kernel hang on 6.x

2006-12-14 Thread Brian Dean
Hi, We're experiencing a kernel hang on a 6.x quad processor Sun amd64 based system. We are able to reproduce it fairly reliably, but the environment to do so is not easily replicatable so I cannot provide a simple test case. However, I have been able to build a debug kernel and when the system

Syncing cpus on a multi-cpu, dual core system

2006-12-14 Thread M. L. Dodson
On a computational chemistry list I subscribe to there is a current thread about multi-cpu systems needing to have the cpu frequencies synced (this is in a Linux context). This is evidently not just having the cpus running at nominally the same frequency but something else in addition. A posting

2006-12-14 Thread Simon Chang
Maxim, VPN and channel aggregation are two completely unrelated concepts. If you want to do channel aggregation, you will also need networking equipments (routers and switches) that are intelligent enough to realize that you are treating seven physical lines as one virtual line. Otherwise, the
