Re: How to force fresh install of a port, esp. KDE?

This is all very off-topic, but one solution, I've had work for me, is to use one of the linux boot disks which allow you to reset the admin password.

That was along time ago and I don't even know where I could find something like that anymore. especially if I don't even know what it's called. Another reason why, I wasn't too excited about reloading, is now a day, the laptops are partitioned funny. They come with an extra fat partition, and if you remove that or mess it up, you can't even use the recovery disk that comes with them. It happened to one of my friends. He was made his partition bigger erasing that one, and he coudn't use the recovery disk anymore. they had to send him the all the disks , ( 3 I think. ). I finaly found where the l0phtcrack program was located in FBSD, but when I run it, it says that it's an Invalid format.

Benefits of -fomit-frame-pointer
What kind of memory footprint reduction / speed increase can I expect if I compile with the -fomit-frame-pointer option? I already compile all of my ports with: -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops -ffast-math -march=pentium ... but I'me hearing mixed views about -fomit-frame-pointer. I understand I won't be able to debug crashing programs, but for programs that are stable and not causing a problem, I see this as an option if it will make things run faster.

This approach has several advantages, not the least of which is finding out who has sold your email account down the river. I have a domain that I purchased and the MX records on my DNS are configured to send *@mydomain.com into my personal email. My general practice is to use the name of the merchant like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I used Best Buy for good reason) when I have to give an email address to make an online purchase. That way when I start getting Viagra or penis enlargment offers (and God knows I need 'em ;)) addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can voice a loud and provable complaint.I encourage anyone with a spare domain to do the same. I also encourge you to report your findings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for posting.

I currently create a new email address for every category of mailing list that I join. For web use, I use a throw-away free-ISP account (which lets me pop mail from anywhere!) which hands out email addresses in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] - whenever a web sites asks me for an email address, I use their domain name in front of the @ - nothing to set up my end, and I know immediately whenever I get spam through that isp which web site gave it out. (Thank you, Paltalk..) Well that's an interesting idea. Throw-away subdomains (excuse my terminology - maybe I'm supposed to call them host names?) imply a whole host of email addresses without wasting a domain name. I have never implemented email at a subdomain. Can most virtual domain mail servers handle [EMAIL PROTECTED] just as easily as [EMAIL PROTECTED]? If so, I might start providing myself (and others too) such options. Will qmail+vpopmail do this transparently? Is it just a matter of the domain name containing another . as far as qmail+vpopmail is concerned? Or should I avoid giving further exposure to the domain name by creating subdomains under it? In that case I can register one more domain name just for this purpose. Presumably it is not a problem that it is hosted on the same server.? Only problem I see is I use webmail.domain.com for webmail access at domain. I guess I will have to find out whether zoneedit.com will let me set up DNS such that webmail.foo.domain.com can work. (Getting really OT now - I'll ask zoneedit about this.) Thanks, Kurt Bigler I sort of forgot for this mailing list Rob I know others use special accounts for mailing lists which refuse to receive any mail that doesn't come from one of the lists that they associate with the account (or else they accomplish the filtering in their email client). A word of warning: When I first joined freebsd-questions, I joined with my main preferred only-for-friends spam-safe email address by mistake. Being lazy, I waited a few hours to correct that, unjoining, and rejoining with the desired address. But ever since then I get matching paired spams on the two addresses: the one I used by mistake for a few hours, and the one that I use at the moment ONLY for freebsd-questions. Fortunately I get only 1 or 2 spams a day like this, but I'm afraid it will grow and I will have to give up my main email address, or get deeply into spam filtering, which so far I have avoided.

Well, unfortunately, you might be falsely accusing Best Buy, since it's likely to get hit on a Rumplestiltskin attack. Far better to include a random string in the address, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's going to be a lot harder to find by randomly trying usernames, and is a lot more provable, assuming that you've only given it out once. :) This only really helps if you have an explicit alias, rather than just having [EMAIL PROTECTED] being delivered to you.

I'm assuming it's not grep, as the command: find . -name *.html -print | xargs grep __FILE__ yeilds: -bash: /usr/bin/find: Argument list too long Well, it's not a shortcoming. These argument lists get passed into the kernel by execve(), which changes the process image. There's only a certain size you can put in. I did a little research, and Linux has the MAX_ARG_PAGES kernel option to increase the size of the command line arguments it can process ... does FreeBSD have such a kernel option, Well, we used to have an ARGSMAX variable, but it has now been replaced by a sysctl kern.argmax. It's set to 65536 by default. You could increase it, but at some point you'll always run into problems. You can't make it longer than physical memory, for example. or some other way of overcoming this limit? That's what the xargs program is for. You just used it incorrectly. It should be: find . -name '*.html' -print | xargs grep __FILE__ Putting the '' around the name stops the shell from trying to expand it.

They vary in size, I think 640 and 700 are the 2 commonest. Thinking on my feet: - Do a test write first of what you want to put on it, may help you deduce the information. This pretends to do the write by not turning the laser on but otherwise going through the motions. - dd it into /dev/null until dd runs out of things to read (never tried this), - Put it in on a Windows System, I think This computer will tell you. - Use an elctron microscope and count the tracks. - Guess ? 700 is probably the most likely. This may not be much of a guarantee of getting the required space that will actually be used, CD-burners can handle a limited number of flaws and they use part of the CD to save this informationa. Which is why, by the way, copying a self-branded CD may fail, the error information for the CD you are copying from will be propagated, and the new CD you create may have it's own flaws. So you may run out of space for flaw recording. Another BTW, if you do not know it's capacity, then you probably don't know the speed at which it can be burnt safely, so you should probably use a low value = 8X. Mmm.

The old standard was 650, the current is 700, and you can apparently also get 870MB cds, although I have no idea where. You also have those little 200MB 3-inch cd's (take a look at your CD drive tray; the little circular depression in the center of the tray is for those).
