Re: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.

Re: BSD Computers
FreeBSD, like all open source systems (that I know of), publishes a hardware compatibility list [1] that you can consult to see if the hardware you intend to purchase is supported. In general, most major manufacturers' systems will work fine, although the newest systems can sometimes be problematic. most desktop/servers. not laptops. all lenovo/ibm works fine but this is exception. most laptops can run only windoze. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Off topic - plea for help
I am in a bit of a pinch. Maybe you could help me. I live in a small town because that is where my ex-wife lives and our 14 year old son who needs to have his dad in his life. When I lived in a bigger city I made good money as a computer programmer. But my son needs me. So I've made the sacrifice of living here where there is no computer work to speak of. My ex-wife has a good paying government job. When I worked in my field I made more than she did. In this rural setting I can't find computer work. So I get by on what I can find. For the last few years I''ve made only about 1/3 of what she does. Now she is moving 2000 miles away to get an even better paying job. I feel that I should move too. I feel that my son still needs me in his life. But there is no way I can afford that move. If I could get there I could probably get good work. The town she is moving to is only 90 miles from Pittsburgh, PA and it looks like there are plenty of computer programming jobs available there. If you think you could help please send $1 to L. Lund POB 1686 Parowan, UT, 84781 and forward this to several (or many) people. P.S. For the last several years I've been using my spare time (after 12-16 hr. work days) to build a web site where parents of school children can pay for school lunch on-line.

Re: FreeBSD 7.0 jail and Samba 3
Hey Johan, Well i use ezjail for my jails, i leave everything else standard, but have the same sysctl value's This is my smb.conf (it is a fileserver as member of a domain for my domain). [global] ... wins server = hz2-serv.mydomain.local This is why it works for you. You use external WINS server - and for the Windows client to be able to go to \\fileserv-hz2 there must be WINS server set up on it. Which is not really what I want - I want to be able to use NetBIOS to resolve NetBIOS name of the server, not WINS. I also tried with the external WINS server and it works for me too.

So far it looks as if some (but surely not all) .exe's and .dll's, and (all?) fonts, should be imported. And then you're forgetting all the bits in the register. It's really easier to try to install an app under Wine and then when you run it, see if there are any missing dlls or missing functionality in Wine built-in dlls (err and fixme messages). Then you can copy those from Windows.

Having trouble getting cups working
HI, I've never actually tried to install cups before and last night decided to give it a try because I was not having much success getting my printer working using the handbook directions. (I got it all setup correctly, obviously something is incorrect but stay with me, and although I could get stuff to print when I did 'cat somefile /dev/lp0' I couldn't get anything to print when I submitted to lpd.) So, I installed cups from ports, and setup my HP LaserJet 4+. All seemed to go well. At first I had a problem with an error, something like unknown application/postscript. Anyway, some digging on the internet revealed that I needed ESP Ghostscript installed. So, I got that and that error went away. Now, however, I still cannot get it to print. When I try to submit the printer test page from the web management interface, it says, network host 'sniper' busy: will retry in X seconds. The URI I'm using for my printer is, lpd://sniper/lj4. The printer is connected to my parallel port and I think this is what I want because the other options are whatever it is that cups calls JetDirect and then IPP and something else. Anyway, if someone could please point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it greatly.

Re: Having trouble getting cups working
Written by Andrew Falanga on 04/22/08 09:40 HI, I've never actually tried to install cups before and last night decided to give it a try because I was not having much success getting my printer working using the handbook directions. (I got it all setup correctly, obviously something is incorrect but stay with me, and although I could get stuff to print when I did 'cat somefile /dev/lp0' I couldn't get anything to print when I submitted to lpd.) So, I installed cups from ports, and setup my HP LaserJet 4+. All seemed to go well. At first I had a problem with an error, something like unknown application/postscript. Anyway, some digging on the internet revealed that I needed ESP Ghostscript installed. So, I got that and that error went away. Now, however, I still cannot get it to print.

I ended up resetting my /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to default and redid the settings. After restarting the cupsd I suddenly had the parallel and usb ports listed.

It ends (about) with this sentence: Anti-aliasing should be enabled the next time the X server is started. Perhaps I am splitting hairs: hasn't anti-aliasing been enabled all along, it's now just going to be handled differently the next time local.conf is read? I ask because I'm afraid I missed something.

You might be able to try hacking the loader and change resolutions there but I don't know if it would stay that way through boot or what effect X windows would have. You could just try a fullscreen xterm. Using evilwm it can give you the look of a console with a higher resolution. Interesting; I'll have to try that.

Can't upgrade lsof
Hi, I'm a newbie trying to upgrade 'lsof'. 'Portupgrade -a' goes well except for lsof and a couple of files that depend on it (gnome-system-monitor, gnome-applets, etc.) I am running FreeBSD 7-RELEASE on an AMD Sempron with 1Gb of RAM. I have cvs'ed my ports tree, did portsdb, pkgdb and portsclean over the last couple of days to see if it self-corrects. It didn't. Googling didn't turn up anything either. Any suggestions, advice, or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you, Larry OUTPUT portupgrade lsof .. .. .. ..

building a kernel for IPsec, what dependencies exist for option IPSEC
Hi, I'm building a kernel for IPSec and am going off of the handbook instructions from the section, VPN over IPsec. In there it says to add: options IPSEC options IPSEC_ESP However, on 7.0 it appears that IPSEC_ESP isn't a valid option. However, what dependencies exist for the option IPSEC?

Re: USB wireless AP?
I would reference the link that I am about to list. I would also reference googling the topic, since there are quite a few USB wifi adapters that work, however, it seems a bit more difficult to find people who are using them as AP media. The atheros reference pdfs reference a different chipset than what we usually deal with on BSD ath driver. (5512, or some such.) I forgot about the prism based cards, which the following link is in references. http://osdir.com/ml/os.freebsd.devel.hardware/2006-06/msg00034.html The SWEEX model LW053 is also compatible, however, it uses the rawlink RT2500USB chipset, so I am not sure how the access point functionality will work, since it may be suceptible to the previously referenced warnings within the driver manpage. Is there a particular reason that the USB adapter concept is needed for your application?

Yes -- if you use the '-V' switch to pw(8) it silently disables creating the home directory for new accounts.

Hi Dr. Seaman, thanks for reply. Yep, without -V, pw creates home directories. In my opinion, since this is a known issue, the -V etcdir section of pw(8) may be updated or introduce a Known Issues section to pw(8), to avoid this issue coming up again and agin.

Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print.
