Re: remote x session
Perhaps I misunderstand, but I use x11vnc on the 'server' and vncviewer or tightvnc on the 'client'. There are several pages to google on tunneling it thru ssh, and it's much better with latency than sending x iteslf over ssh, I'm told. If you start x11vnc with no options, it will export the current session/desktop, but there is a switch to have it spawn a new x session also. All the other vnc ports only spawn new sessions, and I usually use it to help my wife fix problems when I'm away at the office ;) Best, Steve On Dec 24, 2007 9:05 AM, Jonathan Horne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i have been wanting to set up the ability to open an entirely new x session to another box, in a window of my currently running session. xnest is one way of doing this, but i was wondering if there are any others (perhaps, a little easier to configure and get going) ? cheers, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Steve Franks, KE7BTE Staff Engineer La Palma Devices, LLC http://www.lapalmadevices.com (520) 312-0089 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

b) programs understood and used those inputs.
Has anyone seen this done? I'd dearly loce to be able to use
the little dial by the TAB key for volume control in xmms.
I tinkered with this stuff a while ago. Let me see if I can remember
how (an object lesson in making copious notes whenever you try something
new, I guess...)
To find out what keycodes your extra keys are bound to, run xev(1) from
an Xterm or similar. With your mouse pointer over the little window that
pops up, hit each extra key you are interested in and make a note of its
keycode value. Quit xev(1) and edit or create ~/.Xmodmap, which allows
you to assign keysyms to particular keycodes, etc (see xmodmap(1) for
the full story). On my keyboard, turning the dial clockwise generates
keycode 176, and anti-clockwise 174 which I map to the XF86AudioRaiseVolume
and XF86AudioLowerVolume keysyms:
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
I also have a mute button next to the dial which generates 140:
keycode 140 = XF86AudioMute
(A full list of keysyms can be found in /usr/local/lib/X11/XKeysymDB)
For this to be useful, you need to figure out how your window manager
handles keyboard customisation.[1] Under XFCE4, the Keyboard settings
applet allows creation of keyboard shortcuts by attaching commands
to keysyms. For example, to change the mixer volume, I have
`aumix -v +10' assigned to XF86AudioRaiseVolume and `aumix -v -10'
assigned to XF86AudioLowerVolume. (aumix is available in the ports).
I have assigned a custom shell script to the mute button (XF86AudioMute)
which toggles the volume on or off:
#!/bin/sh -x
# If we are currently playing, mute the speakers and register current
# volume level in /tmp/mute-${XINE_PID}
#
# If mute (ie, if mute-${XINE_PID} exists), restore volume to the level
# recorded in the file, and remove the file.
XINE_PID=$(pgrep xine)
if [ -f /tmp/mute-${XINE_PID} ]
then
VOL=$(cat /tmp/mute-${XINE_PID})
aumix -v${VOL}
rm /tmp/mute-${XINE_PID}
else
VOL=$(aumix -q | awk '/^vol/ {print $2}' | sed -e 's/,//')
echo ${VOL} /tmp/mute-${XINE_PID}
aumix -v0
fi
It's a little naive, but it works for me (TM). I'm sure much more sophist-
icated and robust solutions are to be found!
I have also created a very simplistic play/pause/resume script which is
bound to XF86AudioPlay (keycode 162 in my case):
#!/bin/sh
# Play/Pause/Unpause control for Xine.
# Invoked from the XFCE4 keyboard shortcuts.
XINE_PID=$(pgrep xine)
if [ -f /tmp/play_pause-${XINE_PID} ]
then
rm /tmp/play_pause-${XINE_PID} exec xine -S play
else
touch /tmp/play_pause-${XINE_PID} exec xine -S pause
fi
Again, pretty naive, but it works here.
Once you have customised your .Xmodmap, you can ativate the changes by
adding to your ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc
xmodmap /path/to/your/home/.Xmodmap
Obviously, the same command can be used to load your modifications
without logging off.

Blocking undesirable domains using BIND
Hello, I'm currently setting up a new firewall for my home network using FreeBSD 7. The firewall will also act as our local name server (authoritative for the local domain, and caching for everything else). One of the things I'd like to do with it is use BIND to block various undesirable domains (ad servers, malicious sites, etc.). The plan is to have a separate BIND config file which is included in the main one. In that file I map all the blocked domains to either the empty zone or perhaps my local web server that's just serving a blank page for any request. Haven't decided which way is better yet. This file is updated periodically (once a week maybe) and BIND is then told to reload the config. That's the plan as it stands now, eventually I hope to add a web interface to the system for adding and removing blocked domains. My question for you guys is if know any _reliable_ sources for getting that list of domains in the first place? I currently use the hosts file on all my machines, which is about 2MB in size and hasn't been updated in several years. I'll definitely import all of those entries myself, but it would be good if I could periodically pull an updated list from somewhere else. The following site has a pretty decent collection of ad servers, though it's a bit short compared to what I already have: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/. It even provides the list in a BIND format, meaning that I don't need to do any additional processing with it. Just fetch the page and reload BIND. This, however, is not one of my requirements. I'm perfectly happy getting just a list of the domains (in any format), and then processing them into a BIND config file myself. Just need good sources.

Re: CDROM Boot Hangs But Only Under 6.x
I have 18 brand new Gateway towers at work (I can supply the model numbers after school restarts next week). I wanted to clone them using dd and an external usb hard drive. I couldn't boot 6.x or 7.x CDs on any of the boxes, but I was able to install 7 (I didn't try 6.x) on a usb stick, set the BIOS to boot from the device and run FreeBSD (and dd) from there.

FTPd INETd No Response But SFTP Works.
Hi I'm having trouble understanding why my FTPd is not responding. I have uncommented FTP in inetd.conf, inetd is enabled in rc.conf. There have been no changes to the default setup of FreeBSD 6.2 AMD 64 other then the ports install of php5 apache and mysql, so everything is set to basic security, hosts.allow is untouched, and allowing all access. I do have SSHD installed and I have been using SFTP up untill now. I am configuring a php script that attempts to update it's self using the PHP5-FTP mod, but this php mod does not work correctly with SFTP, so I have tried to enable the FTPd (Like I have in the past). I cannot make a connection to the FTP on port 21 with any FTP Client, just hangs. I tried ports install of pure-ftp, as well, I could not connect to it either. I can see them running in top, I can see inetd monitoring port 21 in sockstat, but something just refuses to work. Is there any known issue of having SFTP on port 22 and FTPd on 21 working together? If anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate any help.

Anything installed before the original commit that broke things will be fine -- it's just software that was recompiled using a RELENG_6 system from between 24 October and 20 November. It's only RELENG_6 that was affected -- the change went into RELENG_7 (and HEAD) where ABI changes are permitted with the new major version number, but RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_3 and other release branches never had this patch applied.

I know that X servers make use of the highest free terminal, and it COULD be possible that someone coding that up decided not to check the number, just to reply on a default ... now that the problem has disappeared (with only that one change, so it's a certainty what fixed it), I have a bit of a suspicion about that code now.

mysql port problem
Hello, I'd installed the mysql51-server port (actual snapshot, FBSD6.2r) After install I ran the create DBs scripts and tried to run a mysql client locally. Tried to run the mysqld manually and got a Socket error. /temp/mysql.sock is not I found the log file didnt log anything, so i started looking at the /var/db/mysql files... All files in /var/db/mysql were in wheel group and root owner, so I did chown -R mysql mysql chgrp -R mysql mysql After that it started working, im using it and can do all my work, but... Is it safe to set all those files to mysql user and mysql group? Why the port create those files with root and wheel if they cant be accessed. I found lots of people trying to find out why mysql says sock error after installation. I tried install mysql50-server and it has the same behavior and changing owner and group it is solved too.
