Re[3]: adduser .. revisited, an alternative
Perhaps this can be helpful: there is an administration tool called webmin (found in /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin) which can be accessed via some graphical browser (either from your local machine or from your network) which helps you to administer users, groups and all kinds of services you run on your machine. Try it when you have some time left to do so.

Are you running netscape7 in linux emulation? It might look for your home directory somewhere in /compat/linux - where it isn't. If this is the case, you could set a link.

Netscape7 actually uses > the ~/.mozilla directory to store the profile, not /compat/linux. It Perhaps I wasn't quite precise: Because Netscape is running in Linux emulation it "thinks" your home directory is in /compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir and wants to place ~/.mozilla there, but it can't because your_homedir is in /usr/home/your_homedir So you can # ln -s /usr/home/your_homedir /compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir Uli. > looks like it won't just open up another window.

Drgenius with gnome2
Hi! Has anyone tried to run DrGenius on FreeBSD with gnome2 ? DrGenius is an intuitive geometry system, that might be interesting for students (More information on http://www.ofset.org/drgenius/ml.html ). I could do # ./configure successfully, but # ./gmake fails.

I don't use ~/.Xclients but this happens on my machine, when the file xinitrc cannot be found or isn't configured correctly. You could test your xinitrc by placing it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ (this is the default for FreeBSD 4.7) and startx Hope this helps.

Re: Drgenius with gnome2
Hi again! In the meantime I played around a little bit with DrGenius. (As I teach maths and physics - ) I think it is quite a valuable tool for visualization and exploration of geometry and and vector geometry. It seems to be competitive to commercial systems like dynageo's Euklid and it is part of the gnome project. Thus it would be a good idea if someone - who knows about these things - could write a port for it, to make it easily accessible for students and teachers. Thanks, Uli. On Thu, 9 Jan 2003, P. U.

You are right. When I started playing around with Linux (it was Slackware at that time) the installation menu looked like sysinstall. So it was easy to convert to FreeBSD.

If your system still can boot, you can do # /stand/sysinstall --> configure --> Distributions and select the things you need. In case you remember config-files you have edited, try to save them from beeing overwritten by changing their names with mv . You can rename them afterwards. For the future: There are quite simple tools to backup and restore the contents of your partitions: dump and restore.

Since you know the exact date and time of these events and Telekom has her own logs, he can be identified, if something serious happens.

This seems to be the simpliest method, because I already have got a running Samba Server. I can do a backup of C: besides some files which are locked because they are in use. Before I try a crash test: How could I do a restore - assuming the worst case: C: is completely deleted? Do I have to boot the Win2k CD-ROM?

You are on the right track, trying different applications: it will take some time to find things that run well on an older machine. Try to get some more RAM, if you can, this will always improve performance. Regarding your modem you should read # man ppp They describe how to test your modem manually in "terminal mode". When you found out the right configuration put it into /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to start it automatically. Have fun!

If I understand you right, you don't want to exit the session, because you are afraid the program you started is going to close, too. This can be prevented by typing an & at the end of a command line: # make kernel & will go on building and installing a new kernel, though you log out. Sorry, if I misinterpreted your question.

squid and ipfw ... fwd ...
Hi! I am trying to setup a transparent proxy with Squid. Proxying and caching itself works fine (thanks to the help of this list!) - my Squid is listening on port 80. I have got the ipfw kernel module running and seem to be able to change all kinds of rules via ipfw or from bootup via some firewall configuration file. As all kinds of manuals advise I do # ipfw add 200 allow tcp from 192.168.10.1 to any and still everything works fine. But when I try the next line # ipfw add 300 fwd 127.0.0.1 tcp from any to any 80 I keep receiving access denied messages from squid. I found several emails about this problem in Google but no solution. What can be done now? Thanks for any ideas, Uli. *---* *Peter Ulrich Kruppa* * - Wuppertal - * * Germany * *---* To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Squid works fine as long as I setup all browsers to use 192.168.10.1's port 80 . But when they are set to automatic detection they don't use Squid. The ipfw rule 300 should redirect all traffic to squid - which it in fact does: The access denial message is produced by Squid. But there everything ends.

Yes, but of course it said XFree86 was not installed, so it couldn't be upgraded. Thus I have to use # portinstall -R which is equivalent to # portupgrade -NR To get something running I installed XFree86 from my 4.7-RELEASE CD. I also tried to upgrade this and was left with a dysfunctional XFree86 System (some modules and fonts couldn't be found). So I just stay with the 4.7 installation and hope to get gnome2 working somehow.

console fonts
Hi! Something (the last system update or me myself) has messed up my console fonts. These are the symptoms: - pseudographic characters which are needed to display useful tools like /stand/sysinstall and the midnight-commander look awful. Strange symbols are displayed instead of neat lines. - In vi and pine I can't use the arrow up and down keys anymore - On the other hand on my tcshell german "umlauts" are displayed correctly, which could be a nice feature (if there were any unix commands with german umlauts :-) ) - on my gnome desktop everything is ok. My LANG is set to de_DE.ISO8859-15 and I am running last week's -CURRENT. I tried to play around with vidcontrol and kbdcontrol but couldn't work out a solution. Any ideas?

HowTo repair my console fonts/kbd ?
Hello List! Since some cvsup three or four weeks ago my text-console on -CURRENT is a complete mess (on previous versions of -CURRENT everything worked fine).

First of all: thanks for your hints (especially the --root and --ignoreos part). I tried a "smaller" solution and downloaded a package called libgcc-...rpm which contains the file I am looking for. It made mozilla detect the new jre, but when I opened a a page containing a java-applet mozilla froze. I think next I will try the bigger solution and install a complete gcc.

This depends on whether you use a DSL-router (which connects to your ISP for you) you just plug in your computer - or if you use a DSL-modem (some people call it PPPoE-bridge) then you will have to make your computer to connect to your ISP.

samba(2.2.8) printer server (on 4.8-RELEASE)
Hi! I am trying to set up a printer server (SAMBA 2.2.8 package on 4.8 -RELEASE, printer is a Kyocera FS-3700+ laser printer) which should be accessible from Win2000 and WinNT4 workstations _without_ any authentication. These are the steps I have taken so far: 1. I used apsfilter to make the kyocera work locally as a postscript-printer called lp . 2. (Sorry - stupid me forgot to bring home a copy of smb.cfg over the weekend) I edited smb.cfg so that the printer-server and lp itself can be seen in Windows' network enviroment, i.e. I set security = share and put up a share called [printers] browseable = yes path = /var/spool/lpd/lp read only = yes printable = yes guest ok = yes and I # chmod -R 4777 /var/spool/lpd/lp 3. I used windows' printer setup to install the kyocera driver for lp 4. When I try to print something, everything looks fine from the client side and I can see some blinking of the printer-server's LED's but nothing more happens. The windows printer queue stays empty, no files are created in /var/spool/lpd/lp Any ideas, what could be done next?

Andrew, thanks for your answer, it took me some time to recompile samba on a P75 without cups. But the problem remains. Still I can see the documents arriving in Windows' printing queue, but they aren't printed. Do I perhaps have to produce a machine account for the printer server in the Windows domain? I am asking this, because in my mini home network, printing to samba works fine, but there my samba-machine also acts as Primary Domain Controller. Or - I configured the printer as Postscript printer: Perhaps Windows cannot deal with that? Or - is there any way to analyse the problem - looking at log-files p. ex. ?
