Re: dhclient and random disconnects
There are few things you should do. First, w/r to you complaint about first-kill-then restart, this will do it for you /etc/rc.d/dhclient lagg0 restart second, I remember you wrote that you have a trouble with disconnects even in wireless-only setup (no failover setup). If so, you should run and debug wireless only for the time being. Note: remember what wpa_supplicant does: It handles passing the login and encryption credentials to the authentication server. It also handles roaming from one wireless access point to another, in order to maintain connectivity. Here are some hints on setup: http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=blob_plain;f=wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicantsektion=8 and debugging: http://www.examplenow.com/wpa_supplicant/ third, I would test with IPv6 disabled (entirely for the system), regardless of connectivity type; that also means to explicitly disable that failover setup line in your config ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=**YES jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: dhclient and random disconnects
A follow-up: third, I would test with IPv6 disabled (entirely for the system), regardless of connectivity type; that also means to explicitly disable that failover setup line in your config ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=**YES jb W/r to IPv6 (disable, enable, etc): read man pages for rc.conf(5) and search for ipv6; then set up whatever neccessary in /etc/rc.conf after considering what is in some preset variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Btw, where did you get that **YES from in your config line for failover ? ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=**YES The flag is YES or NO. Also, are you running any firewall on your machine ? jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Does 9.0 honor TERM settings
Well, then, where is the setting that makes the F7 key send E[18~ instead of the standard E[S? I think you will find a hint here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Home_and_End_keys_not_working Btw, in the vi editor you can type a control key into your text file by first typing '^V' followed by the control character desired, e.g. '^V^H' for '^H'. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Warning - FreeBSD (*BSD) entanglement in Linux ecosystem
Hi, I think it would be useful to get familiar with what systemd is, technically and fundamentally. Here is a thread in which a knowledgeable professional questions many technical aspects of it: open this thread in one browser window (to get a nice overview of what you already read): http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-June/thread.html#152323 and start with the first post in another window (the reason is that tricksters tried to change the thread subject, but if you follow thr thread with next post you will not miss anything; be patient - there are some intermediate posts that are noice): systemd: please stop trying to take over the world :) Denys Vlasenko http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-June/152323.html There are important points raised: - going beyond system init replacement, systemd to be a platform for OS, together with GNOME 3 - not adhering to UNIX principles (modularity, etc) - interference with sysadmin duties/decisions to set up the system (e.g. loading modules on its own and e.g. enabling sys capabilities and protocols) - there are many other phantom reasons systemd was introduced as the next thing after the sliced bread invention, like parallelization that is not (but they sold it as if they implemented concurrency) This is just an intro ... There is much more to be questioned if you know what and care to. The author of this snake oil knows what and why he sells it. He is not a UNIX mind. One can scratch her head thinking what kind of pseudo progress can be sold to those goofies in Linux ecosystem, and apparently in *BSD ecosystem as well. The Slackware dev hit it exactly on the nail ! Think and enjoy it. I will eventually comment more on it later as well. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Today, I'm looking at my process list, sorted by amount of dirtied pages (which very closely matches amount of malloced and used space - that is, malloced, but not-written to memory areas are not included).

Note that any shared pages (such as glibc) are not freed this way; also, non-mapped pages (such as large, but unused malloced space, or large, but unused file mappings) also do not contribute to MemFree increase. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
bash command line - can not type c char (not echoed) [SOLVED]

console and bash - how to get Delete key working properly ?
Hi, I searched BSD docs and Google for answers, but none of them works. By working properly I mean for Del key to delete char under the cursor and not the previous one. It works in gnome xterm, but not in console. It works in sh with config hint from FreeBSD handbook: bind ^? ed-delete-next-char # for console bind ^[[3~ ed-delete-next-char # for xterm but not in bash (with or w/o the hint). Having readline lib installed does not make any difference as well. $ uname -r 8.1-RELEASE $ env |grep -i shell SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash $ ls /var/db/pkg/bash-4.1.7/ No readline lib installed.

RELEASE vice CURRENT vice STABLE
Hi, I have: $ uname -r 8.1-RELEASE installed. I understand the concept of software dev, and RELEASE (a snapshot in time), and CURRENT as a dev branch, and STABLE as a dev branch followed CURRENT. But I have difficulty placing them in a dev and respository tree. For example, in my case, can I describe it as below 8.1-RELEASE - 8.2-CURRENT - 8.2-STABLE - 8.2-RCn - 8.2-RELEASE and the cycle repeats ?
