RE: problem with su

2004-03-20 Thread Edmund Craske
This isn't right, when using the -m flag su uses your current
environment, keeping your shell, prompt etc the same as in your
own account. All I can think of is that it executes something
when it opens the new shell which changes it, which shouldn't
be root's cshrc. Perhaps some shell script conditional gubbins
around the prompt statement in the user's cshrc?

RE: Automatically maintaining dns server addresses from an externalrouter

2004-03-07 Thread Edmund Craske
Well, the upstream DNS servers you use from your ISP are
quite unlikely to have a change of IP address, and  with
the way that BIND works, when you set up forwarders, it
checks them first, then runs its queries to the root
servers if it can't get through. You could also configure
it just to use the root servers, though this is inefficient
traffic wise.

I've not had experience with other DNS daemons (ie djbdns)
but I'm sure they would work in a similar fashion.

 Subject: Automatically maintaining dns server addresses from 
 an externalrouter
 
 
 As indicated in another thread (ssh disconnecting) I 
 currently have a D-Link router managing my dynamic-IP 
 Internet connection. I currently let my workstations use the 
 dns services provided by the router since the router knows 
 the current  IP addresses for the upstream dns servers. I 
 would like to shift the dns services for the LAN to my 
 FreeBSD-5.2 server but my reluctance to date has hinged on 
 (avoiding) having to manually maintain the upstream dns 
 server addresses on the local server.
 
 Is there an automated way of achieving this? The first thing 
 that comes to mind is to do something similar to ddclient, 
 which reads the html status page from the router to extract 
 the current Internet IP address. I don't know of anything 
 equivalent for maintaining dns server addresses but I can 
 envisage it as a starting point for knocking something 
 together myself however I don't doubt that a better way exists!
 
 All the material I've seen about techniques for maintaining 
 IP/dns addresses seems to revolve around the machine itself 
 being used as a router, dhcp server, etc. Would very much 
 appreciate any suggestions.
 
 
 Thanks,
 
 Wayne

RE: Mitsubishi Diamond Touch keyboard problem

2004-03-07 Thread Edmund Craske
That's a keymap thing... Depends on your keyboard layout,
I'm not sure what the au layout is, but if it's anything
like the UK one, it's the opposite way round to the
default US keyboard layout for those keys, amongst other
things. The easiest way of setting your keymap is probably
with sysinstall, if you go to configure, then console,
then keymap.

Hope this helps,

If you actually want STABLE, the cvs tag needs to be RELENG_4

What happened here is that the ports tree only has a HEAD
or . tag, and it was trying to get the RELENG_4 tagged
ports collection, which doesn't exist. Best if you use a
separate ports supfile.

Everything seems fine again. Thanks again.

 Hello,
 
 Need to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.9  so all my ports will run.  Not sure, 
 however if
 I want/need:
 
 RELENG_4_9

This is the one you want, as it contains all the fixes etc since 4.9
was released.

 The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security
 advisories and other critical fixes.
 
 or,
 
 
 RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE

This one is exactly as released, ie what you get on the install CD.
 
 FreeBSD 4.9
 
 I understand that the Release tag references FreeBSD version 
 at a given 
 point in time, but is there a problem selecting RELENG_4_9, 
 ...used only for security advisories and other critical fixes.

No problem, in fact it would make little sense not to use this branch.
It has all the security vulnerabilities since original release patched
and any other critical fixes worthy of committing.

 Thanks
 Bob Perry

 I guess that 's what so confusing.  Who would benefit using

Noone really, except for diagnosis purposes. It's just a tag
to mark the release of 4.9, so more an administrative

RE: Using bind9, instead of the default bind8

There's something wrong with the rc.conf stuff for named if you install the bind9 port 
over the base bind8 (by doing a make
-DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 install clean in dns/bind9) because of differences in 
command line arguments. Of course, you could just
work it out and hash it together, or leave the base bind8 alone entirely and install 
bind9 as a separate port... It doesn't really
matter either way, just make sure you're executing the bind9 named instead of the 
bind8 one.

 There are some obscure but potentially important changes

 Subject: Re: How to build FreeBSD entirely from sources?
 
 
 Geert Hendrickx [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
 
  You can better sync your source with cvsup rather then using the 
  sources which are being installed by the CD. Like that 
 you'll always 
  have the most recent version of your FreeBSD installation.
 
  How do I do this?
 
 I put some stuff in /etc/make.conf.  Then I execute the 
 following command to fetch the most recent sources from the server:
 
 cd /usr/src
 make update
 
 Then, follow the process outlined in /usr/src/UPDATING to 
 rebuild the system.  I do:
 
 cd /usr/src
 make buildworld buildkernel installkernel
 shutdown now
 mergemaster -p
 make installworld
 mergemaster
 reboot
 
 You may have to adjust this sequence of commands depending on 
 your config and on what /usr/src/UPDATING says.
 
 Please do read the chapter Staying current with ...; it 
 explains this better than I can.  I only included the above 
 to show that it doesn't take many commands.
 
 Here are the lines I put in /etc/make.conf.  Please adjust!
 
 SUP_UPDATE= yes
 SUPHOST=cvsup2.de.freebsd.org
 SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
 PORTSSUPFILE=   /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
 DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile

 Subject: 5.2 and Dell Inspiron 5100
 
 
 Hello - recently purchased a dell inspiron 5100.  Out of the box, 5.2 
 installed wonderfully.  More than wonderfully.  The only issue I ran 
 into was with X. I am unable to use X with agp support 
 compiled into the 
 kernel. While this is a perfectly acceptable workaround, I 
 was curious 
 if there is a fix for this issue (DRI/DRM would be great 
 sometime down 
 the road).  If not, and me not being a coder, what 
 information might I 
 be able to provide that would help the process along in getting this 
 card to work properly out-of-the-box.
 
 Any infortmation would be fantastic
 
 thanks ~j
