C Language Style Guide
Is there an accepted standard C language style guide. I'm starting to develop and test my applications on FreeBSD, and I want to ensure my code is readable and maintainable. I've been able to find specific project's guidelines like the following, but I can find a general standard. Does ANSI or POSIX dictate anything about style or coding standards?

Scroll whell on FreeBSD 5.3 i386
What is the secret to getting my scroll wheel working on FreeBSD 5.3? If have the following added to /etc/rc.conf: moused_enable=YES moused_flags= moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto I've also got the mouse section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf setup as: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse EndSection The mouse works fine as a normal mouse (right click, left click, middle click), but the scroll wheel doesn't scroll.

OpenGL hardware acceleration with FreeBSD 5.3
I have a Matrox G400, and I cannot figure out how to get hardware acceleration setup for it. glxinfo still displays direct rendering: No, and OpenGL apps like glxgears are slow. I've made sure I've got the dri and glx modules loaded, and I've added the DRI section to xorg.conf. If it helps, here is my xorg.conf file. Thanks for the help.

Re: OpenGL hardware acceleration with FreeBSD 5.3
This thought just came to me... Do I need Linux Binary Compatibility packages to get the acceleration? Right now I don't have it setup since I didn't think I'd need it.

Router setup with FreeBSD 5.3
Does anyone have documentation and/or a tutorial for setting a router with FreeBSD 5.3? I want to share a broadband connection with 5-10 Windows/Linux/FreeBSD boxes.

Recommended Mail Transfer Agent
I'm looking to setup a mail server with FreeBSD 5.3 for a group of around 100 users, and I was wondering which MTA I should use. I have noticed sendmail is the default MTA, but I have no sendmail experience. Also I know historically sendmail has had some serious security issues. Furthermore, can someone recommend a decent POP3 and IMAP server?

Re: Recommended Mail Transfer Agent
Where do I go to learn about sendmail configuration?
Pick up the O'Reilly Bat Book Sendmail book. The sendmail.org site is
also a very good resource as well as IRC on freenode.
Any HOWTO do something standard instructions?
Where do I send newbie questions to?
Does anyone know of a good tutorial/howto for configuring
sendmail on FreeBSD. My two books ('Absolute BSD' and
'The Complete FreeBSD') make little mention of sendmail
configuration and focus on setting up postfix.
The FreeBSD Handbook seems incomplete and glosses over details:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html
1.) How do I edit /etc/rc.conf to start sendmail at boot.
2.) Most of the configurations files seem pretty normal, but
sendmail.cf seems quite obtuse.
I guess I'm looking for a document that would walk a newbie
through setting up sendmail on FreeBSD without being too arcane
or not detailed enough. My experience with some of the other
Oreilly books leads me to believe they're pretty generic;
I doubt I'd find information on how to setup sendmail for FreeBSD.
Thanks again,
Mike

rsyncd with FreeBSD 5.3 on AMD64
Has anyone gotten rsync 2.6.3 working on FreeBSD 5.3. I am using it on AMD64 if it matters. I've made the following rsyncd.conf which works on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 server: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 use chroot = yes uid = root gid = wheel read only = no [backup] path = /datastore When I run rsync --daemon or let rsyncd start from rc.conf I get the following: Dec 31 08:20:09 apollo rsyncd[533]: unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873 Dec 31 08:20:09 apollo rsyncd[533]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(448) Any help would be appreciated.

Re: FreeBSD PNP OS = NO in system bios configuration?
John Conover wrote: Should PNP OS = NO in the PC system bios configuration be used for freeBSD? I was reading through Michael Lucus's highly recommended book 'Absolute BSD', and this is what is said on the matter: While you're in the system BIOS, set the Plus and Play OS option to no. This tells the BIOS to do some basic hardware setup, rather than relying on the operating system to do everything. Modern versions of Microsoft Windows expect the hard to do as it is told, and hence expect full access to the hardware. FreeBSD, on the other hand, expects a system to perform as the hardware standards and specifications demand, and hence can take advantage of some setup work that is most easily done in the BIOS. Many devices (particularly network cards) will behave poorly if you don't change this option. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Programming with Bourne or C shell
I have most of my interactive shell experience using bash on Linux and shell programing on Unix-like systems with Bourne shell. Since FreeBSD's default shell is csh/tcsh, I was wondering if it's still considered an atrocity to develop shell scripts with C shell: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/ Are most FreeBSD users still using csh or tcsh has their interactive shell and sh for programming? I think it would be nice to use the same interactive and programming shell for consistency.

FreeBSD 5.2 Router Setup
I am trying to setup a pc with FreeBSD 5.2 as a router. I've got two NICs setup. My laptop can ping the LAN side of the router (192.168.200.1), and it can also ping the WAN side of the router (172.16.20.10). However, I cannot get past the WAN side of the router to other pcs or the internet, but if I login to the router, I can see other pcs and the internet. It almost seems like IP forwarding isn't working isn't working on the router.
