Hey all,
Apologies. Long. Late. (Early).
I just spent a few hours longer than I feel I should have had to learning
about ANSI escape sequences and the raw unadulterated line-noise-like
readability of the system termcap file.
Here's the basics: I use pine's print command, which works

Good of you to try to document it; I wish I knew where else it could
go. I wonder if there should be a wiki-type knowledge base for things
like that.

it read-only when users need their data). The thing is, I have to mount

I had heard a bit about the new vulnerability check in FreeBSD's ports.
I tried reading /usr/ports/updating and saw something like:
Description: A new vulnerabilities database has been added to the
ports system in order to keep more accurate, up-to-date, track of
security vulnerabilities.
Hey all,
I'm about to move my server up to a larger drive, and I'd like to know if
it's possible to use an existing quota file, or migrate the quota file
somehow onto the new drive? Otherwise, it's going to be a LOT of work by
hand.

After recently upgrading to 4.10, on a machine that's known for getting
100+ days uptime, I got the following error on an unexpected reboot:
Sep 23 15:09:43 prime /kernel: kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled
Sep 23 15:09:43 prime /kernel:

The hardware notes aren't too clear on this, but does anyone know the
model of card I would have to buy to make SATA work under 4.10? I think
the hardware notes refer to chipsets, and I don't know of the
correlations.

Hey guys,
Assume I have a USB hard drive attached to my machine.

I recently upgraded my mail server using sendmail to use full

However, pine complains loudly at me that it cannot verify the

A quick google search on the error yielded this page:

I have a lan of maybe 200 nodes where a BSD box is performing as the

large as a /25. Each subnet has a single gateway ip

We have a system that we sometimes need to connect to from within a cisco

it as such).
