If you buy a new monitor, and take it out of the box it probably will work just fine for you and you will be happy. You will then have had an out of the box experience, or OBE.

FreeBSD behind a PROXY and unnatural Proxy Ports settings in ourLAN
Hi to Everyone... First of all I am a NEWBIE to FreeBSD and UNIX... Second, since I successfully had the courage in sending my first Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have been in constant contact we people who have been trying to help me to solve my problem(s)...and I am very thankful for those people, especially to Jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Aaron Siegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] My probelms are too many of them that I can no longer ask them to help me, for I think I would be being selfish and too much...so, I have finally decided to write to this community again for HELP... I am using my IBM R40e Thinkpad in our office and I am the only one using FreeBSD...The main problem (forgive me I am just assuming the it is the main problem) that I have right now...is that our HTTP Port is set to 10080, FTP Port is set to 10021, POP3 Port is set 10026, SMTP is set to 10111...In using a Web Browser such as Mozilla...I just set my HTTP, FTP, and others in the Preferences...and everything is O.K., about my Emails (I am using Sylpheed), I just set my POP3 to 192.168.1.5.:10026 and SMTP to 192.168.1.5:10111 and everything is O.K. The problem is I am trying to install Ports that I really needed and it seems that I does not work when THOSE PORTS NEEDED TO BE DOWNLOADED USES FTP...How can I set things or my system that our Proxy Server is not using the default Port Settings...How can I let my system and those programs needed to run to downloaded Ports know that our Proxy Server has HTTP Port set to 10080 and FTP Port set to 10021. For example, how can I configure cvsup-without-gui to use the following settings above... Any advice and help is really needed... Please do not get me wrong the people who have been helping are really serious in solving my problem and I am very grateful for it...its just that, when they solve problems that I have, another thing comes up and then another thing...and I think it is all related to the problem that I wrote above...

My system is composed by a Geforce3 Ti200 (by Creative) and an MSI KT4Ultra (KT400) .

The colors are strange , and after 1 minute the Video Card starts to draw the textures in the wrong place (for examples it draws the texture of a tank on the floor ) , after a couple of seconds all the screen starts to flicker , and then the system freeze. If I only enable the Texture compression (and so I reduce a bit the dimension of the textures) the problem disappears , and also if I reduce the quality of the textures (also reducing the size). I think that may be a memory allocation error in the AGP when it needs to write into the main memory , or something like this. Is the main menu OK now? Someone have my problem? Not this problem (well didn't try those options), but the Nvidia driver causes my ttyv's to fail miserably: any switch to a ttyv will cause the system to freeze, which means that I can't even shutdown properly since the system goes to ttyv first when doing a shutdown from KDE/kdm. Games run fine though. Can someone solve it? I'd like to use the FreeBSD drv instead of the Nvidia one (I'd like to be more open that I can) After all, the Nvidia driver is still beta, so problems can be expected. Ah , Nvidia AGP drv solve the problem I also have Nvidia AGP. FreeBSD AGP didn't change anything for me with my ttyv problem. I'll try another resolution (already tried colordepth).

Re: shell scripting while if string length != 0
I'm not a shell guru, but pipelines don't necessarily run in sequence.
In line 5 of your script, the part that says
sed '1d' /path/to/file_o_commands
will destroy all contents of the original file. This may or may not
happen before
cat /path/to/file_o_commands
has finished reading it.
If you just want to execute the lines of a file in order, use something
like
cat file_o_commands | while read CMD ; do
eval $CMD
done
On the other hand, if you want the script to hang around at the end of
the file and wait for new commands, you may need a named pipe (FIFO).
This is a file that one process writes to and another one reads from,
not necessarily at the same time.
See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2156 and
http://tldp.org/LDP/lpg/node15.html for some info on these.

Subject: shell scripting while if string length != 0
for reasons best left unsaid, we need to pull in a file full of
partial
commands, and run them via a shell script on occasion, removing each
command as
we run it. Have managed to hack togetherthe following shell script,
but and
stumped on something simple because of my lack of shell knowledge;
the file that holds out commands
file_o_commands
Server1 df -k
Server2 df -k
Server3 top | grep myprog
Server4 who
add new commands to the end of the file with
echo Server2 who /path/to/file_o_commands
then when we need to, run through the commands
file_to_run_stuff
#!/bin/sh
# get top command
DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`
# remove that command
cat /path/to/file_o_commands | sed '1d' /path/to/file_o_commands
# run that command
ssh ${DOCOMMAND}
this works as intended with 1 exception, we need to add a while in
there to loop
through the file and stop processing an exit when `head -n 1
/path/to/file_o_commands` does not return a line.
I almost want to borrow -n from if
while [ -n (DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`) ] do
...rest of script...
done
Anyone care to enlighten me a bit?

Compiling kernel and making world as non-root
Hi, I'm a FreeBSD newbie, but have used OpenBSD for few years. Is there a way to compile kernel and also to make world as a non-root user under FreeBSD (5.1/i386)? In OpenBSD I normally put SUDO=sudo into /etc/mk.conf and run make build. Also all /usr/src belongs to alex:wsrc, not to root:wheel...

RE: CVSUP
I have a question about cvsup. I read the manual and can update my ports with no problem. Here is my question though...what if I was to change the Makefile for a port? Is there a way I can still use CVSup to update my ports and merge the changes I made in the old Makefile with the new Makefile instead of having cvsup just delete the old one. I guess it would depend on the changes you were making but is the file /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf any use? If not, then I think mirroring the CVS tree is probably the way to go.

Boot manager doesn't show the Windows partition
Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 on the 1st drive a PC with 3 IDE disks:
ad0: 38166MB WDC WD400BB-00CLB0 [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
ad1: 39083MB Maxtor 6Y040L0 [79408/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA133
ad2: 58644MB IC35L060AVER07-0 [119150/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100
The other 2 disks contain OpenBSD-current (ad1) and Win XP Home (ad2).
During the FreeBSD installation I've answered Yes to the question
if I'd like it to install a boot manager and now during the boot I
see 2 entries - F1 for FreeBSD and F5 for OpenBSD (both boot fine).
How could I enable the 3rd entry in order to boot the WinXP from
the ad2 disk (second slave) please? I've tried:
newhope:conf {141} sudo boot0cfg -m 0xf ad0
newhope:conf {142} sudo boot0cfg -v -m 0xf ad0
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 1023:254:63 63 78156162
version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182
options=nopacket,update,nosetdrv
default_selection=F1 (Slice 1)
But it hasn't helped (still 2 entries). My dmesg is pasted below.

During the FreeBSD installation I've answered Yes to the question if I'd like it to install a boot manager and now during the boot I see 2 entries - F1 for FreeBSD and F5 for OpenBSD (both boot fine). How could I enable the 3rd entry in order to boot the WinXP from the ad2 disk (second slave) please? I believe the FreeBSD boot loader should be installed on each of the 3 drives.

RE: shell scripting while if string length != 0
I'm not a shell guru, but pipelines don't necessarily run in sequence.
In line 5 of your script, the part that says
sed '1d' /path/to/file_o_commands
will destroy all contents of the original file. This may or may not
happen before
cat /path/to/file_o_commands
has finished reading it.
Good point. The few tests done so far appear to run as expected, certainly not
under load of any sort though.
If you just want to execute the lines of a file in order, use something
like
cat file_o_commands | while read CMD ; do
eval $CMD
done
How to remove completed commands though?
On the other hand, if you want the script to hang around at the end of
the file and wait for new commands, you may need a named pipe (FIFO).
This is a file that one process writes to and another one reads from,
not necessarily at the same time.
See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2156 and
http://tldp.org/LDP/lpg/node15.html for some info on these.
Not really what I was thinking of, but may be a much more eloquent solution than
an occasional cron run. Will definately check it out, thanks.

Subject: shell scripting while if string length != 0
for reasons best left unsaid, we need to pull in a file full of
partial
commands, and run them via a shell script on occasion, removing each
command as
we run it. Have managed to hack togetherthe following shell script,
but and
stumped on something simple because of my lack of shell knowledge;
the file that holds out commands
file_o_commands
Server1 df -k
Server2 df -k
Server3 top | grep myprog
Server4 who
add new commands to the end of the file with
echo Server2 who /path/to/file_o_commands
then when we need to, run through the commands
file_to_run_stuff
#!/bin/sh
# get top command
DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`
# remove that command
cat /path/to/file_o_commands | sed '1d' /path/to/file_o_commands
# run that command
ssh ${DOCOMMAND}
this works as intended with 1 exception, we need to add a while in
there to loop
through the file and stop processing an exit when `head -n 1
/path/to/file_o_commands` does not return a line.
I almost want to borrow -n from if
while [ -n (DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`) ] do
...rest of script...
done
Anyone care to enlighten me a bit?

RE: shell scripting while if string length != 0
Dave:
From your description of the script, and from the script itself,
it appears that the reason you're checking for a blank command is to
determine when you've reached the end of commands. Presumably, that
would only occur at the end of the file. Is my interpretation correct?
If the reason you're looking for that blank line is to find the end of
commands, you could approach the problem this way:
- move the original file containing commands into a temporary file;
- create an empty file in the original location;
- execute the commands from the temporary file;
- delete the temporary file.
In this way, you avoid having the file of commands updated while you're
reading through it and executing commands. You also avoid a number
of potential programatic pitfalls that are present with your current
approach, pitfalls that may result in the loss of changes to the file
containing commands.
So:
#/bin/sh
CMDFILE=/path/to/file_o_commands
# move current file to temporary location
mv -f ${CMDFILE} ${CMDFILE}.tmp
# create an empty command file
touch ${CMDFILE}
# commands are coming from the temporary file
eval ${CMDFILE}.tmp
# read each command
while read command
do
# execute each command via SSH
eval ssh ${command}
done
# delete the temporary file
rm -f ${CMDFILE}.tmp
Note the use of eval. It's necessary because the example you included
in your original posting included commands that include shell special
characters, such as the pipe (|). Without the eval command, those
characters would not be treated the way you appear to want them treated
(as special characters).

It works very well, and it's very easy to use. Just copy the program to a floppy and boot with it.

BTW - I would start from a generic kernel configuration if you don't remember what you did. Then, make the necessary changes to the copy of GENERIC, and go from there. Then, rebuild the kernel - it probably isn't necessary, but it will at least return your kernel to something closer to the baseline. The card is a generic PCI card, it's labeled Mercury on the box, and has a Sun chip on it. I see it's detected as a Dolphin card, and I _assume_ that is correct. The weirdness with it being COM5 and COM6 had to do with weirdness in my kernel conf file. I suspect the problem is that I need to pass certain flags in the kernel conf, but I don't know which ones. The good news is, after having spent a couple of days fighting this, and getting to the point I was locking up the computer with it, it dawned on me that I had started out there. So I went back and found out that I probably had the IO address for the on-board CO1 chip wrong originally. Now it seems to be working, which will let me deploy the machine!

I'd like to put 5.1-R on this thing, and I have a running 4.8-R server available.

VMWare and FreeBSD 4.8 on my laptop
I am sorry if this is the wrong mail address but - as a newbe - I have a question. I installed on my laptop (using Windows XP; SP 1) VMWare 4 which runs O.K. I installed a virtual machine (VMWare 4) and was able to install FreeBSD 4.8 as a guest on it. Although the configuration of XFree86 (which is not cooperating well with the ATI Radeon IGP 340M) was a hell of a job - for an unexpierenced FreeBSD user - FreeBSD 4.8 runs well now. But now I want to connect my FreeBSD virtual machine to the internet. I did understand from the VMWare manual that a NAT device allows me to connect FreeBSD through my host-laptop to my provider. VMWare uses than a so called VMnet 8 switch. My provider gives me a different IP each time when dialing. But when starting Konqurer: I only get the message host not found (of course I already have a connection by way of my XP-host!). I must confess - as I have little knowledge of advanced networking - that I do not have the slightest idea what to do. Is it just the right configuration inside VMWare or do I have to configure some files inside FreeBSD? Another question: The VMware handbook (page 193) suggests that one also can make an internet connection by using a host-only network and let Windows do the job by using the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard. But it does not work. Windows tells me that something during the installation went wrong. Has someone any experience with these matters? Thank you very much for helping me!!!

I get the GAG boot screen and regardless of whether I choose Win98 or FreeBSD the system states it is starting Windows 98 and then, after attempting to access the floppy drive, asks Type the name of the Command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM) and finishes with the A prompt.

I tried booting from floppy, worked fine, but system will not recoginize the c: drive. Uninstalling GAG only removes the GAG start-up screen, system still asks for the command interpreter. Read the GAG instructions and FAQ - no luck. Anyone had a problem like this? Any suggestions on how to restore my hard drive without losing any data? Thanks, Jim I'm no guru, but this could be as simple as re-installing GAG, removing all file systems from the menu, and starting from scratch to re-add your OS selections (which will take all of a minute's time). This worked for me once when I had a problem booting; something had changed on the disk and GAG just needed to adjust to the change. Give it a try. Failing that... I don't know whether 98 has a 'repair install' option like XP does, but if so, that might be a solution. Also might work to let BSD write its boot menu to the MBR. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info. ~John When you get to the A: prompt, type fdisk /mbr. If it gives you an error, start up the next time with a Windows restore floppy and try it again. That will restore your Win98 bootloader. Then you can try reinstalling GAG. If it doesn't work, you can try FreeBSD's bootloader, Grub (/usr/ports/sysutils/grub), or any of several other options. Since this isn't a GAG helpline ;-), future correspondence should probably be sent off-list. Jud The Windows restore floppy worked. Problem was caused by the hard drive restore program (GoBack). Once I disabled it and restored the mbr everything worked fine. Thanks for your help and sorry about going off-topic.

Remember, GNU Emacs (and XEmacs, too, I suppose) is at its core a lisp interpreter. Many of Emacs' popular features are actually not hard-wired into emacs, but are add-ons written in lisp (though emacs comes with a helluva lot of them...). The tiny emacs-clones just emulate its look and superficial behaviour is the same, but they lack much of emacs' extensibility and customizability. If you just look for a small, easy-to-use editor, zile or µemacs is for you. GNU Emacs, on the other hand, is not that bad ressource-wise. It takes a lot of hard disk space, yes. It takes quite a lot of RAM for an editor, but not that much, either (less than 10MB on my machine, usually). CPU usage is pretty low (my machine: PentiumIII 450) mostly. You can also run GNU emacs in server mode. Users wanting to use emacs do not start a new instance of emacs, but just attach their client-sessions to the emacs-server.

How to debug fatal trap? running on vinum
Had FreeBSD5.1 on a box that had a physical hard-drive failure last week. So, this time setup the box using mirrored 200GB drives using vinum sub-disks. Setup multiple vinum partitions to help limit any file system corruption. One of those partitions was /dev/vinum/ports which points to /usr/ports. Once the machine was setup with a minimal install, then did a restore from the image made before the original hdd failure. I've never done that before, so there is a possibility that I might have restored a file that I should not have. Got ports updated using cvsup. Then did a make reinstall of /usr/ports/x11/kde3. The last thing I saw before fatal trap reboot was the following: --- === Extracting for libxml2-2.5.8_1 Checksum OK for gnome/libxml2-2.5.8.tar.bz2. Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address= 0x14 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc02d15d9 stack pointer= 0x10:0xcdb35aa8 frame pointer= 0x10:0xcdb35adc code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 39 (buffdaemon) trap number = 12 panic: page fault syncing disks, buffers remaining... panic: bremfree: removing a buffer not on a queue Terminate ACPI Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - --- Any tips on how to debug this or if there is an article that discusses how to do this I would be very grateful for any help.

Mouse/X11 Documentation
I'm writing you this message for assistance in getting my mouse wheel to work with X11. Yes, another one of these requests. I have been through the documentation (and numerous articles on the web) and yet I still cannot get it to work. I am running BSD 4.8 with XFree86 v4.3.0 (downloaded last week, so it should be a very current version of the latest stable release). My window manager is currently Window Maker v0.80.1. The mouse is a Logitech MouseMan Wheel, which I understand is equivalent to the MouseMan+. With success I have installed support for the mouse using moused for the console drivers. I added line allscreens_flags to my rc.conf file for mouse support on the various virtual consoles. That works fine. I can also use the same three buttons for text selection and pasting in X11. What I cannot get to work is text scrolling using the wheel. From section 11.3 of the FAQ, first there is a description of /etc/XF86Config (which is now located in /etc/X11/XF86Config) that is for XFree86 v3 only. I currently have the 4.3 equivalent (see below) with SysMouse replaced by Auto. Changing from one to the other did not make a difference, as far as I could tell. Moving on to section 11.4 of the FAQ, I have tried without success to use either moused or the X server for wheel support. For the former, I added the moused_flags line and options to rc.conf, as suggested. Moving now to Example 11-2, first the caption is incorrect. It DOES describe use of XF86Config with moused Translations, does it not? I needed to use an Identifier of Mouse0 instead of Mouse1, or else X11 would crash (again, see below). Imwheel was downloaded and installed from the ports collection; the configuration file moved to ~/.imwheelrc (which was used without alteration). No success. Next I tried to use the X Server to translate wheel events. The suggested use of MouseManPlusPS/2 was not recognized by XFree; since BSD recognized the mouse type on boot-up, I reverted to Auto. Using the device /dev/psm0 was not successful -- the device was busy, and X11 would not load. I replaced psm0 with sysmouse. After imwheel was loaded, the wheel still did not scroll the screen. I admit that it is frustrating to find files in different directories, mislabeled headings in the documentation, and configurations that do not work as suggested. It feels to me that XFree86 is new, and has not been fully incorporated into the various texts. I am at loss on how best to proceed, and your suggestions would be most appreciated.

no arp who-has replys
I have a network that depends on a Cisco router, not running any routing protocol and not under my control, getting responses to arp who-has messages for routing. I just configured a 4.8-STABLE box as a router and I don't think it is working correctly. My understanding is that when a router knows a route to an ip address, it is supposed to respond to arp who-has messages with an arp reply message giving its own mac address. The fbsd router is not responding even though it has a correct route, has ip forwarding enabled and is seeing the arp who-has messages. Shouldn't it be?

'client' 'localhost' localhost says not willing to [rest truncated on window] client says it is available.

Re: Bootp Installing a Thinkpad?
Brilliant--many thanks.

Good Luck, Stephen Hi there, I have just gotten my fingers on a Thinkpad 765D. The external floppy drive is busted, and the thing will not boot from CD-ROM. However, according to its bios settings, it should be able to netboot. Can someone point me in the right direction how to set up a bootp install server, analogous to Solaris jumpstart, for FreeBSD?

Installing BSD version 4.8
I am currently trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. The configuration was going well but when I try to configure (i.e. run pccardd) the wireless network card (SMC 2632W), the system hangs up. At one point, the card was working but when trying to configure the XWindows interface, everything went haywire so I blew away the BSD install and reinstalled. I have done a deinstall/reinstall several times and still the same result. I know the card works because I installed Windows 2000 Server after experiencing this problem and everything with the card worked fine. Do I need a package for the SMC card? Possible IRQ conflict? Any help or insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Results of pccardd: Aug 1 18:33:28 pccardd[149]: Card SMC(SMC2632W) [Version 01.02] [] matched SMC (SMC2632W) [)null)] [(null)] wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 At this point the machine hangs...

Frontpage perils
I just installed apache+mod_ssl-1.3.28+2.8.15 (FreeBSD 4.7R). Having some
serious trouble integrating Frontpage 5, though. I installed the package,
and it seemingly integrated just fine:

Server: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2623 PHP/4.3.1 mod_ssl/2.8.15
OpenSSL/0.9.6g mod_perl/1.26
So far, so good; then I ran the install script:

All you should have to do is:
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl make install
# cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage make install
If all goes well you should have everything you need installed. I
personally don't use the fp_install.sh script...I think it sucks.
If I need to install frontpage extentions on a website I do the
following:
1) Add the VirtualHost to the main httpd.conf file (must
be in the main httpd.conf file):
VirtualHost 64.251.173.41:80
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/jim/public_html
UserDir disabled
/VirtualHost
2) Install extensions with the owsadm.exe tool (execute
the line wrap):
# cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin
# ./owsadm.exe -o install -u jimfpuser -p 80 \
-m www.domain.com \
-servconf /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf \
-xuser jim
3) Restart apache: # apachectl restart
It should prompt you for a password...which is the FRONTPAGE
password for the FRONTPAGE user 'jimfpuser' as seen above.
jimfpuser doesn't need to exist anywhere on the systemm, but you
will need to use it with the frontpage client to connect to
www.domain.com.
Now, there are some gotcha's with frontpage. First off, make
sure the owner and group owner of files located in the /home/jim/*
directories are above uid=100 and gid=100. Make sure the user jim
is created in the unix system password file and his home dir and
public_html dir exist or this will fail. Make sure mod_frontpage
is running. If you installed in the order above, mod_frontpage
may only be loaded when mod_ssl is loaded ('apachectl startssl').
I'm only touching the brim of problems with frontpage...
Finding complete documentation on the frontpage owsadm.exe command
blows. You will have to experiment or visit microsoft.com and try
to interpret their ramblings. I will also gladly try to answer
any questions if I know the answer.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.
