United States Navy Tests Permanent Technologies' TineLok Fastening System
Just as we predicted PERT is on the move With Monday's news and possible use by the US Goverment there is nothing that should stop PERT from raelly moving You owe it to yourself to do your research here. United States Navy Tests Permanent Technologies' TineLok Fastening System TineLok Vibration-Proof Fastening System is Currently Installed for Testing on the U.S. Navy's Newest Advanced Hovercraft -- Permanent Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PERT - News) announced that the United States Navy is currently testing their TineLok Vibration-Proof Fastening System in their newest Hovercraft, the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC). The LCAC is a high-speed, over-the-beach, fully amphibious landing craft, used to transport heavy payloads of equipment (up to 75 tons), cargo and personnel from ship to shore for the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The TineLok fasteners have been installed on the Hovercraft for almost a year and according to feedback from the Navy the fasteners have worked flawlessly to date. We are confident that the TineLok will perform to the U.S. Navy's exacting high-vibration requirements for this strategic project, stated Loren Ball, President and CEO of Permanent Technologies, Inc. In addition to the performance requirements, we believe TineLok also gives the Navy the ability to make repairs, adjustments and service the components in the field without any special tools -- a major feature of the TineLok System. About Permanent Technologies, Inc. Permanent Technologies is the inventor and manufacturer of the award winning TineLok Fastening System -- a family of fasteners that are designed to hold tight in the most demanding, extreme and harshest conditions, environments and applications. The TineLok Fastening System's vibration-proof, self-locking technology is an affordable alternative to traditional fasteners when increased safety, reliability, operating life and reduced maintenance is desired or required. The Company has been granted numerous patents both in the U.S. and internationally for the TineLok technology. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: question on DSL signal
At 02:01 PM 2/4/2008, David Banning wrote: I run a small FreeBSD server with a standard DSL line. I have it ping the ISP every five seconds, and when it doesn't ping it logs the results. I notice very inconsistent results. Sometimes it's up for a week without a single drop, while other times it's up for 30 seconds, down for a minute, up for 2 minutes, down for 1. That can go on for 10 hours, and then maybe it's stable again for a day or so. It's always appears to be the DSL signal itself, as I can see the modem sync light starts flashing when the signal goes down. To end any possibility of the phone company pointing their finger at the wiring in my house, I put the DSL modem right at the phone connection block where the line enters the house and then called them. Problem persists. The phone company say they have replaced lines all over the neighborhood while trying to fix the problem. Eventually the connection becomes stable, the phone company declares that they found the problem, but when he's gone, the trouble starts again. Now knowing how common this is, I installed the same logging system at another company's server, that is located a few miles away. Guess what? Same drop-in drop-out problem. To any average computer user, these lines might appear normal - when a page stops loading for a minute they just live with it, and forget about it. So here's my question: 1. is there anyone who has a lot of experience monitoring DSL lines that can tell me how common this is? It is fairly common as the number of DSL providers is large, but they rely on the copper wires in place that may or may not be well maintained that are usually owned by another firm. So getting the copper actually fixed can take a lot of persistence and patience. Often these lines are from old voice circuits that were not nearly as demanding as DSL. Worse, at least around me in the midwest, often indoor boxes and such are used outside which causes a lot of issues with digital lines. 2. Is there any way to avoid it? Get all new wiring in place. 3. I have used three different DSL modems, but the are all home quality: an Alcatel Speed Touch, a Speedstream 5260, and a Westell Wirespeed. Would spending more money on another type of modem help? If so, what is recommended? I'm not sure if the modems really matter as it is likely a noisy line either from other drops still in place, bad junctions, or just old wires getting crosstalk. Keep a log of problem times, noting the weather, time of day, and anything else that could be a factor. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I live near a large metro area, and the local cable company finally figured out that there was money to be made offering their very fast/reliable cable service to businesses. For $10/mo *less* than I was paying for 1.5/384 DSL with 8 static IPs, I now get 6.0/1.5 w/5 static IPs from Comcast. My only regret is that I could not continue to do business with Speakeasy, which is hands down the best ISP I've ever seen. The Comcast package has thus far (about 4 months) been flawless. They have a separate support group for business customers, they handled my reverse DNS perfectly and promptly, and - if I remain on the local backbone for testing - the system actually peaks to over 20Mb/sec. If you're not too far away from the CO you can try adsl2, but if your copper is lousy for dsl, it will be lousy for that as well. In both the UK and Ireland, one of the available different fabric solutions is broadband over a wireless connection using point-to-point radio or microwave connections with dishes mounted on the outside of the building. These rely on line of sight to the ISPs mast, and are therefore typically available only in large urban areas, but where they are available, I have found them to be more reliable than DSL. Personal experience: using them in several sites in the greater Dublin area (Ireland) and in the Belfast area (UK) for my company and our staff members who work from home. Additional benefits of this type of connection is that it is symmetrical (same upload and download speed) and, in the UK and Ireland at least, comes with with a fixed IP address as standard. (I have a friend in Kosovo who has the same technology deployed with private IP address ranges, so that does depend on your ISP) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers herbs As another poster mentioned, I think the whole idea behind Xorg 7.3 is that there is _no_ xorg.conf by default and, often times, it is never needed. Xorg now tries to autodetect your hardware and configure a working setup on the fly with no xorg.conf. This autodetection usually works well; if it doesn't, go through the traditional steps of creating an xorg.conf manually and move it to /etc/X11. So, on a clean install with Xorg 7.3 there will be no xorg.conf file yet 'startx' might work in many cases due to this new autodetection and autoconfiguration. -- Chess Griffin GPG Public Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Memory Error using Mailman on FreeBSD. How to debug?
I have a question about debugging a memory error on FreeBSD. When a user sends an e-mail with an attachment above about 500kB to a very small mailing list (4 members), Mailman on my server aborts processing with the error MemoryError : out of memory After talking on the Mailman list, the advice was that python and Mailman are just returning the fact that enough memory can't be allocated, and it could be a FreeBSD problem. Specifically, MemoryError is beyond the control of both Mailman and Python. Python is requesting additional memory form the OS for the process and is being denied. This is some kind of hardware or OS limitation. It could be that the OS itself is running out of real or virtual memory or the process is running into some process limit. This is a FreeBSD question. and some sympathy in that 500KB is not a big message. This should not be happening. I am only guessing, but I think there must be some per-process memory limitation in your OS that is set way too low. I have run memtest previously and found no problems, also no problems when upgrading ports or world, so I believe the RAM is ok. The machine is otherwise lightly loaded. Although I believe I have a very vanilla flavored FreeBSD machine, I probably have some setting or parameter incorrectly set. Any hints on how to debug this problem and where to look at?

Best practices for managing tweaked ports
Dear FreeBSD folks, I am seeking for a word in advice in how to automatically tweak some applications, possibly making packages for them. Long version: The XDM software provides an example to illustrate the issues: I have written scripts and configuration files that tweaked XDM to my fancy, and I wonder how use them to a large (large has a magnitude of 2 :) ) scale. The current solution is: I have a post install shell script that plugs my files into appropriate location. This works but there is two drawbacks: 1. I have to run that post install shell script on each targetted machine; 2. The home-made files are alien to package management tools, and cause (little) trouble int package management tools operation. Here are solutions I envisaged, I would like to know about pitfalls, recommendations, user experience, etc., with these: 1. I do use portupgrade, so I could use A/B (afterinstall, beforebuild) switches, hooks in pkgtools.conf as a base for a simple `port tweaking framework'. This would however not produce packages with tweakings wired in. 2. I could prepare ports dedicated to tweaking, i.e. a port that installs nothing but configuration files. I am afraid this cannot be done in a straightforward manner, since a given file (say /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources) cannot be managed by two packages (the one made from the original XDM, and the one made from the XDM tweaker port) . 3. I could prepare a port derived from the original XDM port, that adds any tweaking, and play with pkgtools.conf to remap port dependencies adequately. As stated in the introduction, I would be very glad to get your advices, from your direct experience in this topic as well as `a priori'. -- Many thanks for your attention.

Re: Memory Error using Mailman on FreeBSD. How to debug?
Hello, Barry just answered on Mailman list saying that the memory fault may be in Python for that matter [quote] Now to just work out the root cause of the memory errors ... It's important to remember that Python's email parsing code sucks the entire message text into memory and keeps large attachments in memory after parsing too. There could be a number of problems associated with this, including a memory leak that causes the raw text to be kept even after parsing, or that the attachment is just to big to be kept in memory after parsing. There have been talks over the years about how to modify the email package's api's so that it would be possible to store large attachments in a separate file outside of core memory, but this has yet to be done. Now would be a good time to look into it again, if we have any hopes of getting something like this into Python 2.6 and 3.0. However, this isn't the right place to discuss such changes -- those should happen on Python's email sig: http://www.python.org/sigs/email-sig Cheers, - -Barry [/quote] Zbigniew Szalbot 2008/2/5, Lachlan Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a question about debugging a memory error on FreeBSD. When a user sends an e-mail with an attachment above about 500kB to a very small mailing list (4 members), Mailman on my server aborts processing with the error MemoryError : out of memory After talking on the Mailman list, the advice was that python and Mailman are just returning the fact that enough memory can't be allocated, and it could be a FreeBSD problem. Specifically, MemoryError is beyond the control of both Mailman and Python. Python is requesting additional memory form the OS for the process and is being denied. This is some kind of hardware or OS limitation. It could be that the OS itself is running out of real or virtual memory or the process is running into some process limit. This is a FreeBSD question. and some sympathy in that 500KB is not a big message. This should not be happening. I am only guessing, but I think there must be some per-process memory limitation in your OS that is set way too low. I have run memtest previously and found no problems, also no problems when upgrading ports or world, so I believe the RAM is ok. The machine is otherwise lightly loaded. Although I believe I have a very vanilla flavored FreeBSD machine, I probably have some setting or parameter incorrectly set. Any hints on how to debug this problem and where to look at?

I cannot believe that this doesn't exist for Perl (everything

has to send an SCM_CREDS message (which would invalidate my former
reply); I think it's enough if the receiver requests to get one
(which will be filled in by the kernel), see the description in the
referenced page above which shows you how to set up the
corresponding recvmsg call.
Sending one is only required in case the sender is root and wants
to spoof it's credentials to the remote process (IIRC).
Been spending a bit of time messing around with it and it appears to
be broken.

Sometimes it's up for a week without a single drop, while other times it's up for 30 seconds, down for a minute, up for 2 minutes, down for 1. That can go on for 10 hours, and then maybe it's stable again for a day or so. It's always appears to be the DSL signal itself, as I can see the modem sync light starts flashing when the signal goes down. . . . I had similar symptoms last year during the hottest part of summer after a big storm. The thought was that the heat and humidity had compromised the wiring between my location and the central office. As it ends up, the problem had existed for years but the previous owner had figured 384 down 128 up was the maximum the line length would permit and the phone company was hardly going to admit there was a problem unless pressed. So here's my question: 1. is there anyone who has a lot of experience monitoring DSL lines that can tell me how common this is? It depends on the condition of the infrastructure which varies widely in the US from area to area. 2. Is there any way to avoid it? Is this DSL installed on a line that also has a dial tone? If so when the service becomes erratic, try leaving the phone off hook in order to continuously draw a current through the line. If the line is suffering from a dry open, then the DSL connection will be restored while the phone is off the hook. On telephone lines used for dial service, a line with a dry open condition will manifest as a scratchy/noisy telephone line. When used in DSL service, performance will be very limited because of the high impedance state when no current is flowing through it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Libnet in FreeBSD

I used -lnet too, but of no use, even did the changes in make file that mel had suggested in the previous post. So I dont know what the problem here is or if this is some incompatibility between how i have BSD and how I have libnet or probably they are not linking together or something like that. Otherwise I dont see why the compiler doesnt recognize any libnet function calls. Here is a question I have, I've worked in TinyOS before and I'm wondering if in Libnet we need a separate directory for each application with its own custom-written make file, or things can just be in one pool from where they are compiled. I do a simple cc -lnet filename.c compile. Is there something else I'm missing here ?

If I want my WAN2 connection to use one of the 5 ips I have to manually set it so that all my out going connections will be using that ip. Your ISP CAN do this. They just won't because they don't want to make it easy for you to run a server. They want to suppress your use. You might check with other ISPs or twist their arm more, or get a little more sophisticated by letting DHCP set the IPs and have your domain registered through one of the nameserver services that will allow you to reset the info each time you boot. Then, there are some utilities you can get to check what IP got set and then notify that nameserver service. I don't remember offhand the names of any of those services or the utilities you can use to talk to them, but there are several and you can just do a little searching for them. jerry Hi, I phoned them again, the first guy I spoke to didn't know what I wanted so after telling him to get me someone that I can talk to I was finally told that BT, our ISP does not support setting a static ip to a dsl line if you have 5 ips but, they do it when you have only 1 ip address. Weird I know. The guy then told me that if I need this type of support that I will have to go and find another ISP that does support this. How nice of them to tell me that. So I'm left with 5 ips that I need to some how set so that I can use them. Any help will be greatly apreasiated to get this working Regards Reinhold ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xorg NV driver problems GeForce 6200
I'm having trouble getting the nv driver to work for me. I'm using 6.3-PRERELEASE on amd64 which limits me to the nv driver for my computer. I have a widescreen monitor attached, so I want actual 1440x900 instead of a stretched 1024x768 to working with so vga's out. Whenever I start up X, the screen just goes black. If I set `Option NoAccel true` I'm able to ctl-alt-bksp out to the console, but if NoAccel is false, the system locks up(or at least acpi decides to quit working). The chipset is supported by nouveau(assuming at least that my NV44A is compatible with the NV44). I know it's not strictly a FreeBSD issue since I had the same problem with Ubuntu on a separate hard drive, but for Ubuntu I at least have the option to use NVidia's driver. I've read more about people having problems with NVidia's driver not working than Xorg's which hinders most searches. Has anyone had any experience like this or knows how to fix it? On a slightly off note, my BIOS seems to want to hide the integrated graphics if an AGP card is attached, even though I've had it working fine. Is there a way to be able to use the integrated graphics even though an AGP card is attached? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps, although I preferred to answer the question which was actually asked in this case, since automatically locking out accounts results in a trivial denial-of-service condition whenever anyone happens to do a brute-force scan on the machine in question. See login.conf(5), particularly these entries: login-backoffnumber3 The number of login attempts allowed before the backoff delay is inserted after each subsequent attempt. The backoff delay is the number of tries above login-backoff multiplied by 5 seconds. login-retriesnumber10The number of login attempts allowed before the login fails. Note that this applies only to the login(1) program and so applies to textmode logins directly on the console. Other applications like xdm(1) have different controls, as do applications that provide remote access like ssh(1). Have you actually tried setting these?

Re: question on DSL signal
David Banning wrote: I run a small FreeBSD server with a standard DSL line. I have it ping the ISP every five seconds, and when it doesn't ping it logs the results. I notice very inconsistent results. Sometimes it's up for a week without a single drop, while other times it's up for 30 seconds, down for a minute, up for 2 minutes, down for 1. That can go on for 10 hours, and then maybe it's stable again for a day or so. It's always appears to be the DSL signal itself, as I can see the modem sync light starts flashing when the signal goes down. To end any possibility of the phone company pointing their finger at the wiring in my house, I put the DSL modem right at the phone connection block where the line enters the house and then called them. Problem persists. The phone company say they have replaced lines all over the neighborhood while trying to fix the problem. Eventually the connection becomes stable, the phone company declares that they found the problem, but when he's gone, the trouble starts again. Now knowing how common this is, I installed the same logging system at another company's server, that is located a few miles away. Guess what? Same drop-in drop-out problem. To any average computer user, these lines might appear normal - when a page stops loading for a minute they just live with it, and forget about it. So here's my question: 1. is there anyone who has a lot of experience monitoring DSL lines that can tell me how common this is? 2. Is there any way to avoid it? 3. I have used three different DSL modems, but the are all home quality: an Alcatel Speed Touch, a Speedstream 5260, and a Westell Wirespeed. Would spending more money on another type of modem help?

Question for UART (where do I begin this process?) Ok, you could get the same functionality with any of our serial enabled LCDs like this one, LCD-00462. All you need is a micro that can spit out serial commands (which most all micros have a serial UART) and you can manipulate the pixels. I would start with this development board, DEV-00666, this is an AVR. You can have a tx line goto the display and you can configure the I/Os for buttons. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

I'd be shocked if other major search engines weren't doing it--at least Google is being up front about it. You can partially keep them from correlating your searches if you reject the Google cookie. If you do this, the only way that they can track you is by IP address. You can also use a Google proxy such as scroogle.org. Again, there's no real guarantee that they aren't tracking things, but it's a way to get Google results without having to use Google, itself. Generally, though, unless you sign in to their services, it's pretty unlikely that they'll ever tie search results to a physical human being. Without an ISP's help, they won't know who owns your IP address. If your ISP is willing to give you up to anyone who asks, I'd be worried about more than just Google.

If it's a python problem I'm probably in big trouble, but since I can't find evidence of other having the same problem with such small attachments (and as noted on the Mailman list it completely gums up the works for ALL lists) I'm still inclined to believe this is failure on my part, rather than a general error. Lachlan [quote] Now to just work out the root cause of the memory errors ... It's important to remember that Python's email parsing code sucks the entire message text into memory and keeps large attachments in memory after parsing too. There could be a number of problems associated with this, including a memory leak that causes the raw text to be kept even after parsing, or that the attachment is just to big to be kept in memory after parsing. There have been talks over the years about how to modify the email package's api's so that it would be possible to store large attachments in a separate file outside of core memory, but this has yet to be done. Now would be a good time to look into it again, if we have any hopes of getting something like this into Python 2.6 and 3.0. However, this isn't the right place to discuss such changes -- those should happen on Python's email sig: http://www.python.org/sigs/email-sig Cheers, - -Barry [/quote] Zbigniew Szalbot ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Second issue is with compiz, I open ccsm to configure my 3d effects but they won't get saved, it will let me select them or unselect them but once I close ccsm and run it again every change is gone and the defaults are back. Any Ideas? Do the users have to be members of a special group? I run compiz by hand, I don't need it on all the time. I will investigate these and get back to you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found what the problem was under KDE, in your tutorial you tell us to run these commands as a regular user: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp emerald --replace I found that both of these commands need a sign at the end of each of these commands, which will look like this: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp emerald --replace once you run them like this, KDE will stop acting weird and starts functioning correctly. Now when you restart kde it no longer starts compiz automatically and you will get all the window borders and you are able to save the settings using ccsm. Which is not the case when running gnome. Once you run these commands, compiz will work normally just like in KDE but it won't let you save any settings, another words if you run ccsm it won't let you select or unselect any plugins. Compiz command might be a little different for gnome. Gnome will also complain if you run these commands without installing /usr/ports/x11-themes/ubuntulooks first, once you install this it will stop complainning.

Re: Libnet in FreeBSD
Question: do I need to set the cflag libs options in the libnet-config file for the compiling and linking to happen correctly ? Bhuvana On Feb 5, 2008 12:05 PM, Bhuvaneswari Ramkumar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok after that e-mail last night, I did try a make of the ports collection libnet after the make, everything looked fine, atleast I didnt notice anything missing in the log or config files but I still see the same problem, undefined reference to libnet_init and msgs liks that for every libnet call. I used -lnet too, but of no use, even did the changes in make file that mel had suggested in the previous post. So I dont know what the problem here is or if this is some incompatibility between how i have BSD and how I have libnet or probably they are not linking together or something like that. Otherwise I dont see why the compiler doesnt recognize any libnet function calls. Here is a question I have, I've worked in TinyOS before and I'm wondering if in Libnet we need a separate directory for each application with its own custom-written make file, or things can just be in one pool from where they are compiled. I do a simple cc -lnet filename.c compile. Is there something else I'm missing here ?

Re: Looking for a Text on ZFS
Wojciech Puchar wrote: [snip] mirror. that's all. Which doesn't really address the issue of what happens if a drive that is part of a big ZFS is removed (because it's broken). it will say read error on all files and directories that happened to be placed on that disk! Just to be clear, ZFS pools contain one or more VDEVs (Virtual devices). Each VDEV consists of one or more physical partitions and can be configured as a mirror, stripe, stripe with one parity, or stripe with 2 parity. ZFS does striping with no parity across all VDEVs in the pool. Thus with ZFS, if you lose a VDEV, you lose the whole pool. Hopefully that clears things up a bit.

Should I just give up using BSD altogether due to an unusable system? I would not like this idea, I was really starting to like it. Respectfully, Eugen Hello. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. Have you attempted static assignment to another address, such as 192.168.1.38 (something not 33, but within your pool)? # ifconfig dc0 down # ifconfig dc0 inet 192.168.1.38 netmask 255.255.255.0 # ping 192.168.1.1 What does `arp -a` say? Does ping work if you call it with `ping -I dc0 192.168.1.1`? What does `traceroute 192.168.1.1` give you? And, I've only seen output for the one interface (maybe I overlooked something in your posts), what is the output of ifconfig -a --- is there some other interface that could be causing route problems and therefore network unreachable from ping(8)? It does seem rather odd, so I wonder if there's something we are all overlooking. Since no one but you is there, we can't tell you what it is, but only guess.

Re: OT: www search engines
what search engines, other than Google, do you find useful for general use? I have always, and continue to, used Altavista. I like the ability to quote search terms and narrow the search to only what I'm looking for. I use Google when I need to do search term site:utdallas.edu for something, but other than that, I use Altavista. Don't know what tracking they do, though. What Paul says... And I haven't yet seen any Ads by Altavista stuff in any of the sites I've visited. For what it's worth Altavista gives quite similar results as Google in general searches - and much more applicable results when using +, - and foobar search terms. -Reko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Preserving file permissions with dump and restore

I did the following: 1) made /store pristine: newfs -U /dev/ad4s1e 2) mounted /dev/ad4s1e on /store 3) cd into /store 4) ran the command: restore -r -uv -f /backup/fullbackup 5) remove 'restoresymtable' from /store Thanks in advance for your help you did restore as root? (i think so but just for sure) it is something wrong with restore then, i used it many times and it restore everything. anyway - rsync is good tool to make exact copy of directory tree Actually yes, I did restore as root. All ownership info and permissions are reset during restore, and none of the original permissions are back. This kind of weird since the OS drive hasn't changed.

Host interface resetting - Asus nx 1101 (stge)
Hello, I recently purchased a Asus NX 1101 nic for a intel pc I have at home. The motherboard is a intel gigabyte GA-8I945GMF and I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 RELEASE. The card is correctly using the stge driver but whenever I try and bring the interface up I get the following message host interface error resetting repeated over and over again and I have to reboot the server. I tested the card on an AMD gigabyte board (K8M800-8237), also running FreeBSD 6.3 and the card runs perfectly. I checked dmesg and also /var/logl/message and I couldn't find anything useful, any ideas?
