How to answer mails to me@all my domains?
Hello! A silly question probably. How do I get FreeBSD, or Postfix, to give me all e-mails sent to me@all the domains in my nameserver? Can /etc/aliases do this, or something else?

Solved: Re: What to use for conio?
[Also posted the news group]
The problem was to capture key presses from a vtty (including such function
keys as your keymap will allow) so they do not echo - as you might want to
do in developing a full-screen text-mode interface or a simple console-type
game.
Here is my solution in demo form, It turns out this highly system
dependent. Any real application would probably need to do some signal
handling, and for some things (such as entering text in a box) translation
to a more human readable form would be desirable. This seems to work or
seems to be subject to being made to work for the printable and control
characters in an Xterm, but is hopeless with function keys in X. I have
not, and probably will not further investigate that because my project deals
with text-mode terminals. With -lc, this compiles without warnings in
-Wall -pedantic. However, it uses %p format in printf which seems to be
undocumented in the man.
I have no idea what I am doing.
#include stdio.h
#include termios.h
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/uio.h
#include unistd.h
char *k;
int getkey (void);
ssize_t
read(int d, void *buf, size_t nbytes);
int main (void)
{
int knum;
knum = getkey();
printf (knum is %i \n,knum);
printf (value is %p \n,k);
return 0;
}
int getkey (void)
{
struct termios unwhacked, whacked;
int knoc;
fflush(0);
tcgetattr(0,unwhacked); /* get terminal state */
whacked = unwhacked; /* save state for restore */
whacked.c_lflag = ~ICANON;/* turn off cannical input */
whacked.c_lflag = ~ECHO; /* turn off echoing */
whacked.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;/* capture at least 1 character */
whacked.c_cc[VTIME] = 1; /* and of them that come quick */
tcsetattr(0,TCSANOW,whacked); /* whack the terminal with new flags now */
knoc = read (0,k,6);

return knoc;

Own Install CD with custom kernel
Hi,
I'm working currently on a custom FreeBSD install CD with included I4B.
But I have my problems and every try takes about 8 hours to rebuild
the CDs again so hopefully I'll get some help here to speed it up a
little :)
What I did:
Prepared my environment like (checkout cvs, copy files, created patch
etc. - default FreeBSD CD builds fine)
It seems that sysinstall will not install per default the new kernel.
For a non SMP system (like mine) it is I4B.
So it seems to me that I must change /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall to
do this. I attached the patch to this email.
cd /usr/src/release
make release CHROOTDIR=/home/storage/ownfreebsd BUILDNAME=FreeBSD-I4B \
CVSROOT=/home/storage/ncvs RELEASETAG=RELENG_6 MAKE_ISOS=1 \
KERNEL_FLAGS=-j4 WORLD_FLAGS=-j4 \
LOCAL_PATCHES=/root/patch.diff PATCH_FLAGS=-p1 \
KERNELS=I4B I4BSMP GENERIC SMP |tee /root/build.log
Then I execute the make release command and some hours later I got all
the ISO I need to install my new system.
Ok so far so good. Now I booted with the new created ISO and try to
install from it. I checked if the right kernel is select in the
distribution selection and yes that is fine.
But at the installation itself it seems that sysinstall is not copying
the kernel to the right place. I got the following message (debugging
messages in sysinstall are enabled):
DEBUG: installFixupKernel: Install I4B kernel
DEBUG: Executing command 'mv /boot/I4B /boot/kernel'
mv: rename /boot/I4B to /boot/kernel: No such file or directory
DEBUG: Command 'mv /boot/I4B /boot/kernel' ressturns status of 1
I checked now the the installed system and there is absolutly no kernel
installed. (no /boot/GENERIC, no /boot/I4B or anything else)
I'm sure that I must oversaw something in sysinstall to change but I
cannot find it.
What must I change now that sysinstall install my custom kernel?
Thx a lot for help!
Best regards,
Matthias

Not high-handed. Logical. The difference between /dev/random and /dev/urandom was that /dev/random could block IO if it didn't have enough entropy and /dev/urandom guaranteed to not block. The underlying algorithm creating the random was at the discretion of the implementers. AFAIK it's all at the discretion of the implementers, unless someone can quote a standard. So what you had was a highway (urandom) and a road with traffic lights (random). The need for the traffic lights has been removed, so there is no logic in not calling it a highway. Wasn't the highway /dev/urandom? People travelling the random road, will simply account for the possibility a traffic light comes up, which never does. That's a poor analogy because they haven't improved /dev/random so it doesn't block, they've taken a /dev/urandom implementation and renamed it. In terms of your analogy they've blocked off the road, diverted everyone onto the highway, and renamed it to main street. Using Yarrow for /dev/random is not an intrinsically bad idea, but it is controversial. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Multiple NICs - custom protocol development
I have a host on my local 192.168.0 / 24 subnet that works fine in getting to the Internet via a default route.via a wireless connection. I want to develop some custom link protocols and I have placed two Ethernet NICs in the box. I want to be able to send packets from one NIC to the other and maintain the link to the Internet. I've tried a large number of things via rc.conf but when I ping of the cards it is not going out the interface; it just gets looped back. (I test this by disconnecting the crossover cable between the two cards.) My current rc.conf has the following attempt, but this fails. # router_enable=Yes gateway_enable=Yes # Ethernet 1: ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Ethernet 2 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # Set up loop between the two ethernet cards static_routes xtor, rtox route_rtox = -host 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 route_xtor = -host 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1 Can I do what I want or must I have a second development box? -- Len ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It was necessary at the time, because systems couldn't produce enough entropy, so they could put the application on hold till more was available.

Using Yarrow for /dev/random is not an intrinsically bad idea, but it is controversial. Removing /dev/random all together would be controversial. This is just backwards compatibility.

Nothing changed as far as a consumer of /dev/random is concerned. It's not about interfaces or performance - it's about security. The difference is that Yarrow is a PRNG that reuses the same 160 bits of entropy until it reseeds itself. A traditional /dev/random will output fewer random bits than it get in as interrupt entropy (a good implementation will be conservative about this). A lot of people prefer the latter approach for critical things like key generation. This is just off the top of my head, but for example, say I want to create a data dvd that's encrypted with a unique keyfile. I may have a script that starts like this: # Create a dvd image file prefilled with random bits dd if=/dev/urandom of=./dvd bs=1m count=4480 # Create a random 512-bit keyfile dd if=/dev/random of=./keyfile bs=64 count=1 With FreeBSD 6.2 both files will be filled by Yarrow and it's likely that the end of ./dvd and the whole of ./keyfile will come from the same Yarrow pseudo-random sequence. If enough of the random data survives at the end of the dvd it may allow an attack against the PRNG. As things stand, Yarrow is secure, but it might not be a few years from now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think I didn't get that last sentence. No. For some reason, when I use Gnome or KDE, the system speaker goes dead.

Would you please try running stty erase '^H' erase2 '^?' in Konsole with default terminal settings and tell me how it behaves? Well, in the dfault mode with keyboard == Xterm 4, it backs up and erases in command-ln mode, but both vi and vi still run into the ^? characters. Even given you stty cms. However, if I set the keyboard to freebsd, the first in the list, it erases wit bakspace.

Yeah . . . I'm pretty sure that's normal behavior for vi/nvi. Using backspace, then hitting ESC to return to command mode, might cause the backspace text to disappear.
