They are roughly equivalent: 79780 * 16 * 63 = 80418240 addressable sectors, or ~40GB 5005 * 255 * 63 = 80405325 addressable sectors, or ~40GB The first figure (79780/16/63) is the disk geometry that is probably printed on the label on the front of the disk and is conformant with the ATA standard. The second figure (5005/255/63) is probably the geometry that your BIOS is using. Either way, as long as the machine works then you shouldn't have to worry.

That would be because fsck(8) only works effectively on unmounted file systems -- it really doesn't need anything else trying to write stuff to the filesystem while it's trying to fix it. In fact, in single user mode the root partition is initially mounted read-only, precisely so that fsck(8) can fix up the root filesystem without the danger of writes to the partition at the same time. It used to be the case that the instructions explicitly told you to remount the root fs read-write before doing a 'mount -a', but 'mount -a' has done all of that option changing stuff for you automatically for several years now. The new 'background fsck' capability in FreeBSD 5.0 (as I understand it) relies on the capability to treat the filesystems on the newly booted machine as 'snapshots', so that modifications to the fs are held in cache memory and only written out to the disk once the fsck(8) process has finished cleaning up the underlying stuff.

Re: Setting up FreeBSD as a wireless base station
On Wed, 19 Feb 2003, Emmanuel Gravel wrote: I was looking into setting up a wireless network at home. I'm already using FreeBSD 4.4 as my gateway/firewall (NATD/ipfw/junkbuster) for my wired network. I was initially looking at a Cisco 350 as an access point and Orinoco cards for the laptops/desktops that don't have wired access, mostly because an admin I knew swears by their security features. Cost is too high for my budjet however (for the access point). After some searching, I've found that FreeBSD could be used directly with a wireless card to become an access point. However, with the Orinoco cards, I read it could only do ad-hoc and not infrastructure mode. For that, a Prism-based card is required. I've looked at the list of cards pretty quickly, but I don't know which ones to get. Keep in mind that all the systems that will be wireless will be Windows (98/XP), apart from the FreeBSD gateway. Here's what I would like to accomplish: 1- The access point will not advertise it's name 2- When connecting to the access point, the clients will encrypt the name they're trying to connect to, so outside snoopers, even if they do break WEP, won't be able to connect (I think this is what was done with the Orinoco cards, the Cisco 350, and special client software). 3- All communication afterwards is continuously encrypted between the clients and the access point (not just with WEP). Both clients and server should have key pairs (SSL?). 4- All clients will have access to the network and internet as if they were wired (i.e. there should be no difference to the user whether using a wireless or wired computer). This includes Windows shares as well as any other TCP/IP based protocol. Which Prism-based card would be best for this? Keep in mind I need both PCI and PCMCIA cards that should all be compatible with each other. I have both PCI and ISA slots available on my FreeBSD system. Also, which Windows software will I be needing to make this painless to the user (if anything specialized is needed)? Also, on the Windows side again, which diagnostics software would be best? Thanks for your help! I use a DLink dl-650 card in my box. I also put my wireless network inside of IPSec and enforce it with IPFW. This way, unless each client is using the appropriate ipsec settings, they will never see the wireless network. My setup may be a little different however. Heres what I have: To Internet | - | FBSD gw/firewall - | 192.168.1.0/24 | | -- | FBSD (bridge)(firewall)| - To wired internal network -(still 192.168.1.0) wi0 nothing but IPSec ESP/AH in here (or out) | | | To wireless internal network (still 192.168.1.0) | | My wireless laptops. __ Do you Yahoo!?

That way, system accounts that shouldn't be able to be logged in through ftp either can still have the shell /sbin/nologin.

Re: Displaying Slideshow on Remote Computer
I would recommend running VNC, but opposite to what you seem to be thinking. Run the VNC client on the BSD box, and the server on the Windows Box. The PPT slide show could be delivered and controlled by PowerPoint on the Windows box, and the VNC client would display the Windows Desktop on the Kiosk. -Matt On Thu, 2003-02-20 at 18:43, Rik Scarborough wrote: I'll explain what I want to do, then what I planned and ask my question. That way if any of you have a better way to accomplish this, you can let me know. I need to display a Power Point slide on a FreeBSD computer running more or less like a Kiosk. The FreeBSD machine will be running in a foyer displaying the Slide show and playing mp3's. It will not have a keyboard attached and needs to be controlled (i.e. slides changed) from a Windows box in the office. Both machines will be on the network. Our plan is to use Open Office to show the slide show. I had planned to put XWindows on the Windows machine (using Cygwin) and export the display from the FreeBSD box, but then it dawned on me that I will not get the same display that is running the slide show. i.e. Open Office will be running on localhost:0.0, but the user will be looking at remotebox:0.0. As a side benefit, this will be a chance to put a BSD desktop in front of the users who overwhelming feel that they have to have Windows to do their job. Someone suggested VNC, but that does not appear to control the :0.0 display. I'm not sure how that is different from rlogin to the BSD box and exporting the display. Is there a way to either control Open Office from the command line, or grab Open Office, at least Impress, from localhost:0.0 long enough to open a new file and start the slide show, and then push it back? ~Rik -- It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

SoftUpdates on /
Hi guys, I know that in the mailing list a while ago people were wondering why SoftUpdates were not enabled by default at install time on the / partition. Now I installed FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE into a 4GB slice. I did not create seperate bits for / or /usr and such - but one large big space. So I enabled SoftUpdates when I was busy with FDISK at the install time and now it seems like it may have been a bad idea. Now I know 4GB is not much but it seems that there is no more space left. And at times df -h will tell me there is -180MB available on / ! [ Dont get me wrong here, I am not saying that SoftUpdates is causing me lack of space. ] Now I know that I should just du to see whats taking up the space and I will investigate that this weekend - but I was wondering if it was a bad idea to have gone and enabled SoftUpdates on / seeing as it is one big slice/partitoin? This machine is just a setup that I've got to play with - I'm sharing it with WinXP but would like to move across to FreeBSD full time. So I have no problems with having to re-install it!

With a fairly lightweight GUI file manager, Rox-filer (not lightweight if built from ports, because the FreeBSD port has a bunch of GNOME dependencies; I just download it from its home page and install it, and it works fine for me - note, I do have Linux emulation installed), browser (Opera), mailer (Sylpheed), editor (nedit, though I also play with Xemacs and a couple of TeX editors), cd player (ascd or wmcdplay) and system monitor (GKrellM2), I feel pretty well set. These are all GUI applications, because you asked about GNOME and KDE, which are big GUI desktop environments. The FreeBSD base system comes with command line utilities which will take the places of several of these applications quite nicely. Jud Actually, just to be clear, I'm a KDE fan. KDE 3.1 is great, and on a multi-GHz box with 6 cubic yards of RAM who cares about resources? But on some of the lower-watt boxes I have (at work and at home) I need a lighterweight WM.

Does this question make any sense? Do you mean you get the device busy or whatever the message is? Unfortunately I don't think you can do much about that. If a piece of software opens /dev/dsp when it starts and doesn't close it until it finishes then nothing else will be able to write to /dev/dsp. Have a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html for some info on how to set up virtual channels. This is a way of having several dsp devices (/dev/dsp0.x where x is between 0 and some maximum that you specify) that are multiplixed through the one physical dsp device. Then you should set your various pieces of software to use different dsp devices (e.g. xmms might use /dev/dsp0.0, your window manager's sound server might use /dev/dsp0.1, etc). If you've got an SBLive (or probably any modern sound card) they you actually have around 48 hardware channels (i.e. 48 channels similar to the vchans mentioned above, except that they're mixed on the hardware device, freeing up the CPU). Unfortunately I don't think the current SBLive driver for FreeBSD supports utilising more than one hardware channel (current meaning even the one in 5.0). I think the way the OSS and ALSA drivers do it (I can't remember which - one of them does it this way at the very least) is to allow /dev/dsp to be opened multiple times. I'm going to have a look at putting this support in soon (or at least try to understand what's going on in the current driver - maybe it's in there already; I've never done any kernel hacking before). cheers sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

New drive causing panics ffs_vfree
I had a perfectly good, running 4.7 machine at home that serviced my dhcp, nat samba needs. I ordered a new Western Digital 160GB drive for it and it came in last night. I decided this would be a great time to make a fresh start on the 5.X tree so I removed the other two drives from the machine and did an install from CD. The install went fairly smooth and in a few minutes I had a functional machine with 512M swap, 1G / , 1.5G /var, 5G /usr, 6G /home and a 135G /vol1 slice. After getting everything running, I started copying files to the /vol1 slice via SMB when I saw a kernel panic after about 30 seconds. Panic: ffs_vfree : freeing free inode dev = ad0s1g, ino=4, fs=/vol1 Upon rebooting, it'll give me a login prompt start the background fsck. I'll log in quickly and then maybe after about 2 minutes the cursor will stop blinking and turn to a solid square. At that time I can no longer type to display on the screen. Sshd stops responding as well. Now here's the weird part. I can switch ttys just fine. I can also still access the internet from LAN'ed machines through my ipfilter/ipnat setup on this machine. I just can't use anything that I guess requires disk access. I went to bed to make sure that it wasn't just doing something that was just using 100% of the resources but upon getting up, it's still locked. I then rebooted and did a boot -s. Did a manual fsck which of course found errors, then 'exit'd to the login again. The machine locked up a few minutes later just as before so I don't believe it has anything to do with the background fsck. To further test, I booted to single user again, and then let it sit after it was done with an fsck. It locked just sitting there in single user mode. I can't imagine this drive is simply too big.

Changing ISPs with out much interruption.
My Setup /--- FreeBSD2 (Web,ftp,ssh) ISPA ---\ |--- FreeBSD3 (Webmail,mail,ssh) HUB1 --- (xl0) FreeBSD1 (fxp0)--- HUB2 ISPB ---/ \--- Firewall --- internal network FreeBSD2 192.168.2.1 FreeBSD3 192.168.2.2 x10 ip addresses: ISPA 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, etc, gateway 10.0.0.1 This is the current ISP which all internal traffic goes out. ISPB 20.0.0.2, 20.0.0.3, etc, gateway 20.0.0.2 This is where I want all internal traffic to go. These ip addresses are assigned to the outside network card (xl0) about 8 total, 4 ip addresses for each ISP. I have setup successful to have all incoming traffic using ISPB The current default route is 10.0.0.1 I do a `route change default 20.0.0.2` which I would think tell all out going traffic to use ISPB but it don't. All traffic stops and I can from FreeBSD1 ping both ISP gateways and the other 2 FreeBSD boxes. I have connected a computer to HUB1 and setup the ip address and gateway for ISPB and it works fine. FreeBSD1 is Ver 4.7 and using ipfw and natd for debugging I set ipfw rules (rc.firewall) like this: fwcmd = /sbin/ipfw $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via fxp0 $fwcmd add pass ip from any to any The nat.conf is setup like this: redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.1:80 10.0.0.2:80 redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.1:80 20.0.0.2:80 redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.2:80 10.0.0.3:80 redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.2:80 20.0.0.3:80 etc for each service. To summarize the problem: I am try to use ISPB instead of ISPA as my main internet connection. The 2 FreeBSD boxes are getting connected to successfully from ISPB but these and the internal network are using ISPA when I try to make a connect from them. I have been to the point with the FreeBSD1 setuping it up with just one ip address from ISPB and the ISPB gateway and that does not work so I am thinking it is with the ipfw and/or natd not being setup right. I have play around and made changes to the rules of both with out luck. I hope to have made my problem clear with as much info possible. Any question please ask.

[...] I almost have things working! I've fallen back to a very simple solution, it took me a while to separate the fancy footwork in the various examples (the gif tunnels and the fancy-dancing to support/enable NAT, etc...), but I finally realized that what I needed was just pretty simple. /usr/sbin/setkey -FP /usr/sbin/setkey -F /usr/sbin/setkey -c EOF spdadd LAPTOP_IP/32 192.168.1.0/24 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/LAPTOP_IP-LINKSYS_IP/require; spdadd 192.168.1.0/24 LAPTOP_IP/32 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/LINKSYS_IP-LAPTOP_IP/require; EOF and a racoon.conf that's almost exactly the example from the racoon.conf man page. Now I get the key exchange established, with racoon saying IPsec-SA established: ESP/Tunnel 64.1.164.95-64.1.164.92 spi=387448327(0x1717fe07) and the Linksys logging (in blue!) that the tunnel's been established. Still, it doesn't quite work. If I sit on my laptop and ping a machine on the private network, I never see any replies. But, a tcpdump on the private network machine shows the icmp requests and replies in the clear, and tcpdump on the laptop shows the replies coming back through the ipsec gateway (foo is the laptop, blah is the Linksys). 09:09:09.739914 foo.bar.com blah.bar.com: ESP(spi=0x1a1ef0f9,seq=0x111) 09:09:09.742049 blah.bar.com foo.bar.com: ESP(spi=0x0c053b00,seq=0x11f) So, it seems that the replies are making it back to the laptop (or close enough that the laptop can tcpdump them.

The problem is that, when I boot, ipf does not work. It seems like is not using the rules. If I enter ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules from the command line, then it starts working as expected. What do I have to do to make ipf start automatically on boot? Any tips or pointers to manuals will be greatly appreciated.

Re: gif tunnels?
I have a similar configuration, what are your internal router/firewall ip's? From your diagram, I would think something like 10.1.0.1 and 10.2.0.1 ?? so where you have: # ifconfig gif0 inet 10.255.255.1 10.255.255.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 My config would have: # ifconfig gif0 10.1.0.1 10.2.0.1 netmask 0x Hope that helps, I run VPN tunnels to two separate boxes with similar configurations, forming kinda of a triangle VPN if you will.

Has something changed? - Mark Mark, Aliases on the same subnet should always be 255.255.255.255, this does not apply where they are on different subnets, however. Here is a good example, from the ifconfig output of a mail server I set up at an ISP in a nearby town. They used to use a private range, but have since added a public class C which has been broken up into smaller ranges for routing. The mail server, for legacy reasons, still has to serve people on the old IPs because those are still being used by machines in their office, and reconfiguring every office machine with new server IP addresses (they didn't have internal DNS then) would be wasting time. We didn't want to waste public IPs on beancounters, so we just left their machines as is. The host is also serving on the new IP, and acting as a POP server for several virtual domains, which have aliases. The 10.0.1.0/24 range (their office), and the 196.38.113.0/27 range (used for their server farm + virtual domains) are still the same physical network though. The output from ifconfig follows: %ifconfig dc0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 196.38.113.2 netmask 0xffe0 broadcast 196.38.113.31 inet6 fe80::a00:8ff:fe00:800%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 196.38.113.3 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.3 inet 196.38.113.5 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.5 inet 196.38.113.6 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.6 inet 196.38.113.7 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.7 inet 196.38.113.8 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.8 inet 196.38.113.9 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.9 inet 196.38.113.10 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.10 inet 196.38.113.11 netmask 0x broadcast 196.38.113.11 inet 10.0.1.4 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 inet 10.0.1.5 netmask 0x broadcast 10.0.1.5 ether 08:00:08:00:08:00 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 Note how 196.38.113.2 (the machine's real address) has a netmask of 0xffe0, or 255.255.255.224, and the other addresses in this range (all of them aliases) have 0x, 255.255.255.255. Then look at 10.0.1.4, which is an alias too. It has a netmask of 0xff00, or 255.255.255.0. Now look at 10.0.1.5, an alias used for serving intranet web content to legacy machines. Again, a netmask of 0x. The reason for this is that 10.0.1.4, even though being an alias, is the first address the machine handles on that subnet. Just as 196.38.113.2 is the first address the machine has on the public subnet. Rule of thumb: First address on a subnet, alias or not, has the proper subnet netmask. Every other address on the subnet following that, has 0x, or 255.255.255.255.

not using the rules.
If I enter ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules from the command line, then it
starts working as expected.
if you look at /etc/rc.network you'll see why:

Controlled by a simple text file, multiple desktops, nice graphical styles, etc. mwm is nice too (very unix) but openmotif takes a long time to build. Though I have the hardware and disk space to run GNOME, KDE, or both if I wish, I gravitate to a lightweight ethic, so like John, I run Blackbox (as well as bbrun for extra convenience). Very occasionally I also use Windowmaker for a bit of variety. With a fairly lightweight GUI file manager, Rox-filer (not lightweight if built from ports, because the FreeBSD port has a bunch of GNOME dependencies; I just download it from its home page and install it, and it works fine for me - note, I do have Linux emulation installed), browser (Opera), mailer (Sylpheed), editor (nedit, though I also play with Xemacs and a couple of TeX editors), cd player (ascd or wmcdplay) and system monitor (GKrellM2), I feel pretty well set. These are all GUI applications, because you asked about GNOME and KDE, which are big GUI desktop environments. The FreeBSD base system comes with command line utilities which will take the places of several of these applications quite nicely. Jud Actually, just to be clear, I'm a KDE fan. KDE 3.1 is great, and on a multi-GHz box with 6 cubic yards of RAM who cares about resources? But on some of the lower-watt boxes I have (at work and at home) I need a lighterweight WM. Blackbox is great, very clean. Also, the code is very clean and makes an excellent X/WM tutorial. That said, I do run Blackbox for a while every now and again for a break I like things simple and with clean design, and I like using old stuff -- cars, cameras, and computers. A lightweight window manager would seem ideal for me, but I use GNOME because I like drag-n-drop (my typing sucks) and the way copy-paste through the clipboard works, better than the straight X method. And I like a consistent look-and-feel across applications. What features and benefits do you miss when you use Blackbox instead of KDE?

I don't really get it either, as I pointed out in an off-list e-mail to the original sender earlier, this has nothing to do with Christian mythology or satanic anything. 666 is, by all historic and scientific accounts, a Masonic symbol. Now unless you have a problem with people who have an intriguing fixation with geometry (Free Masons), then I can't see anything wrong with using the number. We're long past the point where you can't use 13 as a number, why should this be any different, really?

Having problems with mozilla-1.2.1/galeon-1.2.8
This past weekend, I upgraded the ports collection on my machine (running 4.7, also updated at the same time). When I came back in on Monday morning, mozilla failed with a segmentation fault and galeon failed with a 'gnome has detected a crash' dialog. I spent most of this past week verifying the ports I had were in fact up to date (they were and are the most recent from the ports collection) and that I did not have mozilla-fonts (or nucleus-fonts which also for some reason includes files from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla (and thus triggered the 'BROKEN' behaviour of mozilla port until I removed it) installed. I compiled all of the ports with their 'default settings' except for the following settings which I have added to make.conf XFREE86_VERSION=4 PACKAGE_BUILDING=1 BATCH=1 WITH_FULL_MOZILLA=1 The reason for the PACKAGE_BUILDING/BATCH settings are because I prefer to run the build unattended over the weekend when I am not at work and that is the only way I've found to actually get things to build and not dialogue prompt me. The WITH_FULL_MOZILLA setting is because I wish to have both mozilla and embed mozilla into galeon (and phoenix which I also tried and which also failed). Most specifically, I have not modified any of the architecture or optimization flags which are the default. My machine is a intel Celeron (730.97 MHz 686-class) Prior to this weekend, I had mozilla built this way and all was good, including Xft fonts working. (which seemed to be the suggestion when I scanned the mailing list archives this morning trying to find out what was wrong after rebuilding once again didn't resolve the issue). In the course of trying to fix this, I have rebuilt EVERYTHING on my machine using portupgrade -af with only a couple of failures which should not affect this. This failures were ! net/net-snmp4 (ucd-snmp-4.2.5_2) (compiler error) * net/ethereal (ethereal-0.9.7) ! net/rdesktop-devel (rdesktop-1.2b1) (failed to convert nil into String) ! x11/XFree86-4-clients (XFree86-clients-4.2.1_2) (install error) The failure of Xfree86-clients turned out to be x11perf and failing because the code is looking for a 'core' member of the XftFont structure. However, nothing (according to greps of /var/db/pkg) depends on XFree86-clients, so I don't believe that to be related. The other programs similarly have nothing which depends on them aside from listed above. Any help or advice in getting this working again with Xft would be greatly appreciated and it does seem that there is a problem there with the recent code. I'm more than willing to send people additional information to help track down what's going on if they ask and let me know what information they need.

Having problems with mozilla-1.2.1/galeon-1.2.8
This past weekend, I upgraded the ports collection on my machine (running 4.7, also updated at the same time). When I came back in on Monday morning, mozilla failed with a segmentation fault and galeon failed with a 'gnome has detected a crash' dialog. I spent most of this past week verifying the ports I had were in fact up to date (they were and are the most recent from the ports collection) and that I did not have mozilla-fonts (or nucleus-fonts which also for some reason includes files from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla (and thus triggered the 'BROKEN' behaviour of mozilla port until I removed it) installed. I compiled all of the ports with their 'default settings' except for the following settings which I have added to make.conf XFREE86_VERSION=4 PACKAGE_BUILDING=1 BATCH=1 WITH_FULL_MOZILLA=1 The reason for the PACKAGE_BUILDING/BATCH settings are because I prefer to run the build unattended over the weekend when I am not at work and that is the only way I've found to actually get things to build and not dialogue prompt me. The WITH_FULL_MOZILLA setting is because I wish to have both mozilla and embed mozilla into galeon (and phoenix which I also tried and which also failed). Most specifically, I have not modified any of the architecture or optimization flags which are the default. My machine is a intel Celeron (730.97 MHz 686-class) Prior to this weekend, I had mozilla built this way and all was good, including Xft fonts working. (which seemed to be the suggestion when I scanned the mailing list archives this morning trying to find out what was wrong after rebuilding once again didn't resolve the issue). In the course of trying to fix this, I have rebuilt EVERYTHING on my machine using portupgrade -af with only a couple of failures which should not affect this. This failures were ! net/net-snmp4 (ucd-snmp-4.2.5_2) (compiler error) * net/ethereal (ethereal-0.9.7) ! net/rdesktop-devel (rdesktop-1.2b1) (failed to convert nil into String) ! x11/XFree86-4-clients (XFree86-clients-4.2.1_2) (install error) The failure of Xfree86-clients turned out to be x11perf and failing because the code is looking for a 'core' member of the XftFont structure. However, nothing (according to greps of /var/db/pkg) depends on XFree86-clients, so I don't believe that to be related. The other programs similarly have nothing which depends on them aside from listed above. Any help or advice in getting this working again with Xft would be greatly appreciated and it does seem that there is a problem there with the recent code. I'm more than willing to send people additional information to help track down what's going on if they ask and let me know what information they need.

Re: from GNOME to KDE
It built it fine here. Make sure your ports tree is upgraded to the latest, then run: portupgrade -rR kdebase That should do the trick :) On Friday 21 February 2003 22:38, Gary D Kline wrote: On Fri, Feb 21, 2003 at 10:29:02PM +0200, Willie Viljoen wrote: You should be able to find links to packages from http://www.kde.org/ To get it on FreeBSD, just use ports.

Re: Cvsup Handbook Example
Obviously I don't think it is mythology or I wouldn't believe it :-) Actually it is not my place to tell people what numbers they are and are not allowed to use. More than the number, the issue for me is the motivation of why that number was used. Why use one of the only three digit numbers that I know of that is associated with evil to at least one belief?

procmail question a little off topic
sorry for the offtopic post here but I cant seem to get my procmail recipe's to fire. I know sendmail sees and uses procmail because maillog show its handing it of to procmail.

Still, none of the messages that I want taking from inbox and put in other folders as specified in the recipe's section are being moved. excuseI went to the procmail website and since and the lists seem to be in german... and my german is nonexistent... /excuse any pointers appreciated. .procmailrc == # Frisch, SA, p 602 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # # catch systems for syslog entries # ppsrv3, PAC SMB server :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/ppsrv3 # urbansrv1, CUI, apas, ais smb spooler :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/urbansrv1 # ppsrv5, aka cyrus, smb/web server :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/ppsrv5 # db2srv1, development machines :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslog/db2srv1 # recsrv1, smb server recreation mgt :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslog/recsrv1 === end procmailrc = -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: modern (usb) webcam support?
My searches for information on webcam have not found much, except for some sites which say FreeBSD does not support USB web cameras. My Creative Labs USB Webcam (older Model, Webcam Plus or something it was called) runs ok with /usr/ports/graphics/vid, which supports Webcams with the OV511 and OV511+ chipsets. I don't know for sure if the newer webcams still have this chipset, but I guess they do. Oh, you'll need to code some glue to make vid be useful; all it does is grab an image and write it to stdout, no configurables.
