I have recently upgraded from FreeBSD 3.1 to 4.3-20010525-STABLE.
I wrote a very simple assembly language program that was giving me
a bus error. For several hours I have been trying to find what was
wrong with it, but could not.
Finally, out of desperation, I moved uninitialized data from .bss
Hi again,
What I have done so far is to use the natd daemon as an example but I have a
problem. The divert seems to work but the problem is that I can´t get the
packets in my userspace program. Is there some specific port that I should
use for the divert socket? This is not very clear in the natd
Prompted by the recent discussion about performance with large
directories, I had a go at writing some code to improve the situation

And thus upgraded your assembler and linker from GNU Binutils 2.9.1 to
2.10.1. When you upgrade to 4.4-FreeBSD you will get GNU Binutils 2.11.

Hi,
I have had this idea concept for awhile and thought I would hand it off
to someone who could actually use it. I was thinking of a port dedicated to
security patches. Something that would be setup in crontab to check for
security updates every month,week,day,hour whatever the user choose

Hi,
I assume you mean the patches for source. It's not difficult to check
latest security patches automatically and apply them to the
source. But then? Automatically rebuild the kernel and other stuff and
reboot automatically? Maybe it's not the expected and acceptable
behavior, I'm afraid.

Hi all,
After just changing a little in sys/kern/kern_sig.c, how can I rebuild
the kernel fast? I think it should not take such a long time as 'make
buildkernel' does. Anyway, just kern_sig.c need to be recompiled and
the kernel can be linked. So how do you guys do in such case?
Cheers,
Jiangyi

Oh, sorry. My original source placed all code into a .code
section. The older ld did not care. The newer one expects
the code to be in the .text section.

Hey.
I was asked a question about the use of salts in password files
recently, and it prompted me to look up exactly how FreeBSD uses the salt. The
'DES Extended Format' salt is described in the man page and makes sense to me.
However, the MD5 hash's use of the salt is not spelled out in
