Re: Terminal setting

Greetings, There are (at least) two sides to this problem. Firstly you must ensure the FreeBSD is using the right keymap for your country and keyboard. For example to get my standard UK keyboard working I had to put the following line in my configuration: /etc/rc.conf.local:keymap="uk.iso.kbd"

buildworld: bsd.lib.mk line 18: Malformed conditional

Hi All, Hope someone out there knows about a problem I've run into doing a make buildworld in /usr/src. The problem seem to be whilst building rescue/common: cd /usr/src/rescue/rescue/../../sbin/fdisk && MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue make clean rm -f fdisk fdisk.o geom_mbr_enc.

ppp link always dials when started with -auto?

Hi FreeBSD'ers, I've just upgraded to 4.9-RC (from 4.2) and I'm really happy with everything except ppp. Whenever I start ppp (with ppp -auto pmdemand) it immediately starts to dial - after connecting it briefly sends and receives a minimal amount of data then sits there idly. One other problem

C++ Memory Profiling/Debugging

Hi, Does anyone out there know a good C++ memory profiling/debugging tool for FBSD? I'm looking for a tool like valgrind or purify. I grepped around in the ports directory and I found "ElectricFence" and "mprof" but these seem to be for C only (as they refer exclusively to malloc & free). "bohem
