font problems in firefox, thunderbird,.. gtk?
Hi, after system and ports upgrade I have problems with fonts in some apps - firefox, thunderbird, gthumb, liferea and so on. It is probably related to the underlying toolkit - gtk2? The problem is that sometimes (not regularly) the app system fonts are not that expected ones but they are proportional and blurred - almost unreadable. Usually it helps to restart the app, sometimes more than once. I was searching the Internet, experimenting with xorg.conf and installed fonts, font cache etc. but got no results. With my previous installation I have had similar problems but really seldom not on regular basis as now.

As you say, PPP doesn't let you append extra servers to what it receives automatically. Your best recourse then is to find out the IP numbers of your ISPs DNS machines -- either by consulting the ISP's documentation or web site, by asking their support team or by looking at the results obtained by running PPP with 'enable dns'. Then make sure your ppp.conf does not overwrite your /etc/resolv.conf on connection, and just edit resolv.conf to insert the IP numbers you've discovered. A static resolv.conf will serve you well enough. After all, it's not like your ISP will be changing their DNS servers every few hours.

CVS release tag for current patched release
The short version of my question is whether the cvs tag RELENG_6_2 refers to the latest on the 6.2 STABLE branch or the 6.2 RELEASE Branch. The background (somewhat long winded) to the question and why I'm confused follows. I wish to make some minor local modifications to my system running 6.2 RELEASE p4. So far, I've been maintaining my system using csup with a sup file based on /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile But my local changes get overwritten with each new update using csup. I was advised earlier on this list to use cvs instead (which I thought csup did, but now I see that csup (and cvsup) will use checkout mode instead of CVS mode unless I'm on the bleeding edge. So, if I understand things correctly, I should be using cvs directly and using update instead of checkout so that my local changes will be merged locally with what is in the repository. I've been using rcs (and even sccs) for as long as I can remember, but only in the most primitive of ways (I never used nor grokked branches, although Open Source Development with CVS: Learn How to Work With Open Source Software (ISBN 1576104907), which has been on my shelves for years about I just started reading last night, has been a great help). Now my impression from looking at the standard-supfile is that if I do a cvs update -r RELENG_6_2 I'll get what I need (the latest fix of the 6.2 release). However there is a bit in the handbook that suggests that RELENG_6_2 will get me the latest in the STABLE branch instead of RELEASE branch. From http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ anoncvs.html Example A-3. Checking Out the Version of ls(1) in the 6-STABLE Branch: % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs % cvs login At the prompt, enter the password “anoncvs”. % cvs co -rRELENG_6 ls That suggests that -r RELENG_6 will get the latest on the *STABLE* branch. Is that an error in the docs, an error in my understanding, or something else altogether. Finally it might help me if I knew where the term RELENG came from. Things like RELEASE, CURRENT and STABLE all make sense, but RELENG doesn't seem to have some human meaning (well, not to this human at least).

RELENG_6 - actual -STABLE RELENG_6_2 - actual -RELEASE-pX -RELEASE are taken off -STABLE at predefined times, and as such we can say, that -RELEASE is snapshot from -STABLE at the date of new release. Development is being done in -STABLE. So if you want to have current release with it's patchlevels as they are, use RELENG_6_2.

Re: font problems in firefox, thunderbird,.. gtk?
Yes, I have read this. And also used. I cannot remember why I disabled it after the problems began. The ~/.fonts.conf is attached. It evidently affects the fonts in the sense that they are not blurred now but still I'm getting different fonts on every start - for instance, sometimes I'm getting fonts without diacritics, in all cases they differ from usual firefox/thunderbird default fonts.

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE gives you BIND 9.3.4. 9.4 (and patches) have been released from ISC, but I don't see ANY difference between the version in the world and the one from ports/packages. First question I have is is there something in the world BIND that isn't available in the packages/ports? the restart command tells BIND to stop via BIND's control channel (typically 127.0.0.1:953 and maybe an IPv6 address). Since the command in that script is only calling: rndc stop 2/dev/null; I can see only two causes right now. 1) rndc itself will never work (some config error or other problem). 2) the BIND control channel (port 953) isn't listening, so rndc itself may be working, but it can't control BIND. Check for listening sockets. sockstat -l -p 953 if you get listening sockets, try a status. rndc status if you fail on status, then it's time to investigate keys. rndc is not very helpful on error messages. I kind of think rndc was built for the software developers (ISC) and not very end-user consumer friendly. I have a good feeling that this message is correct in it's entirety. However, I am human and would accept corrections. If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. I can is a way of life. More and Bigger is not always Better.
