setfacl(1) - Can FreeBSD's ACLs contain groups from NT/AD domains ?
Hi all, I have FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #1: Wed Jul 25 authenticating successfully against active directory via samba's winbindd(8). I need to manage samba shares via FreeBSD ACLs and CIFS ACLs. From my reading of setfacl(1) I should be able to set group permissions using the syntax of DOMAIN\group-name. For example: #setfacl -d -m g:MYDOMAIN\mygroupname:rwx test However, when I do this on FreeBSD -CURRENT I get the following error: #setfacl -d -m g:MYDOMAIN\mygroupname:rwx test setfacl: g:MYDOMAIN\mygroupname: Invalid argument From a quick Google it looks like Linux ACLs can do the aforementioned [http://www.techtutorials.net/blogs/index.php?mode=viewuseruser_id=7].

Re: Card for Xorg dual-head Xinerama? (Matrox G450 problems)

While Xinerama works fine for local X11 apps, an app started on a remote machine displaying back to my box fills the fvwm frame with nothing -- except whatever bitmap was already there. Moving the window moves the image of the bitmap around. Killing the app leaves the fvwm frame; I have to kill the frame in fvwm to make it go away. If I turn off Xinerama, everything works fine, but obviously I don't have Xinerama. Any suggestions for a good dual-head card which works well with Xorg and Xinerama? I've got two 21 CRTs so don't have DVI input. I don't game so I don't need that kind of speed. I'd prefer something quiet, that doesn't require a fan to prevent it from melting. I'd like to keep it inexpensive.

Re: Questions about Hauppauge WinTV 350

I've been planning to get one for some time, but here in Australia the prices are ridiculous (more than double what they are nearly anywhere else). So I've decided to have one sent from overseas. Question: are all WinTV 350s the same? In Australia we have the same standards as in most of Europe (PAL, not NTSC), and the tuner frequencies are also the same as those in Europe. If I buy a card in the USA, will it work here, or are there two different kinds of card, depending on where they're sold? The web site is not of much help. To help me decide, it would be nice to hear from somebody with experience with the cards who can tell me a definite answer to at least one of these questions: * Are there separate versions for different countries? * Does the device you have support both PAL and NTSC? * Does the tuner on your device support both European and US frequencies? * What kind of antenna connector does your card have? US TVs tend to have a screw-on connector, while European one tend to have a push-on connector. Other information, in particular where I can get them cheap, would also be appreciated.

Re: entropy
From: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/5.0-RELEASE/relnotes-i386.html The random(4) device has been rewritten to use the Yarrow algorithm. It harvests entropy from a variety of interrupt sources, including the console devices, Ethernet and point-to-point network interfaces, and mass-storage devices. Entropy from the random(4) device is now periodically saved to files in /var/db/entropy, as well as at shutdown time. The semantics of /dev/random have changed; it never blocks waiting for entropy bits but generates a stream of pseudo-random data and now behaves exactly as /dev/urandom. - aW Entropy is a tendency towards disorder in the universe, exemplified by things LIKE SOME FREAKIN' CLUELESS GIT POSTING A TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC SCIENCE MESSAGE TO A COMPUTER OS LIST!!!

[hardware] Tagged Command Queuing or Larger Cache ?
