init(8) not executing everything cron, getty on some hosts

Hi, I've been experiencing a strange problem with one of my hosts (I think, since upgrading to 9.1-RELEASE). The host does not start several services after booting, especially no getty(8)s and no cron(8). When starting these services manually, it does so without flaw (you can login via ssh). I

Re: icons

Hi, where are located icons of apps such as browsers,etc? that depends on the software itself and the wm you are using. For Gnome, KDE and Xfce at least you can look at /usr/share/icons (/usr/local/share/icons resp.), but menu entries as Freedesktop defines can also have absolute paths.

Re: xscreensaver

Hi, what contents should be placed into /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver ? that depends solely on your system's configuration. You should say what your window manager is, how you authenticate, etc. If you have only a single-user system, taking the authentication-part should be sufficient. I don't know

Hi, I just looked into a batt for my daughters dell, her li-on lasted 14 months, now on full charge it only lasts 40 mins... Terrible. If you can get 2 years out of a batt ur lucky. I read some tech docs on li-on cells; if you can store at 50% charge in the fridge and when in use don't

Escaping from shell-scripts

Hi, I'm planning a service with a login-user-interface. Thus, I want to restrict the user somehow to this script and to do nothing else. The straight-forward way would be to write this script, have all input parsed by read and then let the script act according to this input (let's assume that

Hi, 1.) FreeBSD has both chroot capability as well as jail capability. Yes, it has both of them. You still want to use chroot, also it is kind of 'part' of a jail (technically perhaps it's implemented separately). 2.) Only FreeBSD has true, jail functionality? Yes?...No? In Solaris, you have
