Does FreeBSD support the Ralink RT73 chipset
I just got my hands on a Belkin Wireless device that uses a Ralink RT73 chipset. Rather than waste a lot of time attempting to get it to work, I thought I would ask if anyone here has succeed in doing so. I see that FreeBSD supports: Atheros and Intersil Prism components;however, I did not see any mention of the Ralink RT73 chipset. -- Carmel carmel...@hotmail.com |=== |=== |=== |=== | Like the ski resort of girls looking for husbands and husbands looking for girls, the situation is not as symmetrical as it might seem.

/etc/fstab + embedded spaces
I was attempting to create this entry in the /etc/fstab file. It is to a WinXP machine. //u...@bios/My Documents /laptop smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 It fails because 'fstab' does not allow embedded spaces in device names, not does it allow enclosing the name in quotes. I did some Googling and discovered that I am not the only one annoyed by this behavior. I discovered this patch that had been submitted awhile ago. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-October/026469.html Changing the share name is not really an option. Is there some way of making this work in 'fstab'? I can use the name including spaces in 'mount_smbfs' so that is how I am currently mounting the share. It just seems strange that 'fstab' by not accepting the use of quoting is not in step with how FreeBSD usually operates. -- Carmel carmel...@hotmail.com |=== |=== |=== |=== | It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. ___ 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
Using bash with MySQL
I am in the process of writting a script that will use MySQL as a back
end. For the most part, I have gotten things to work correctly. I am
having one problem though.
Assume a data base:
database: MyDataBase
table: MyTable
field: defaults
Now, I have populated the 'defaults' fields with the declare
statements that I will use in the script. They are entered similar to
this:
declare -a MSRBL_LIST
Now, I issue this from my bash script:
SQL_USER=user # MySQL user
SQL_PASSWORD=secret # MySQL password
DB=MyDataBase # MySQL data base name
HOST=127.0.0.1 # Server to connect to
NO_COLUMN_NAME=--skip-column-names
COM_LINE=-u${SQL_USER} -p${SQL_PASSWORD} -h ${HOST} ${NO_COLUMN_NAME}
table=MyTable
DECLARE_STATEMENTS=($(mysql ${COM_LINE} -i -euse ${DB}; SELECT defaults FROM
${table} WHERE 1;))
for (( i=0;i${#DECLARE_STATEMENTS[*]};i++)); do
echo ${DECLARE_STATEMENTS[i]}
done
This output is produced:
declare
-a
MSRBL_LIST
Obviously, I want the output on one line for each field. I have tried
enclosing the variables with both single and double quote marks;
however, that does not work. Fields that do not contain spaces are
displayed correctly.
Obviously, I am doing something really stupid here. I hope someone can
assist me. I probably should ask this on the MySQL forum; however, I
was hoping that someone here might be able to supply a remedy.

This loop is where it all goes horribly wrong:
for (( i=0;i${#DECLARE_STATEMENTS[*]};i++)); do
echo ${DECLARE_STATEMENTS[i]}
done
In Posix shell, the intended functionality would be more usually coded
like this:
IFS=$( echo ) for ds in $DECLARE_STATEMENTS ; do
echo $ds
done
where $DECLARE_STATEMENTS is split on any characters present in $IFS --
the input field separators, here set to be just a newline character.
(You don't have to use echo to do that; you can just put a literal
newline between single quotes, but it's hard to tell all the different
forms of whitespace apart if you're reading code snippets in an
e-mail...)
I suspect similar IFS trickery would work with bash, but I'm not
familiar with the array syntax stuff it uses. /bin/sh is perfectly
capable for shell programming and positively svelte when compared to
bash and it's on every FreeBSD machine ever installed, so why bother
with anything else?
Matthew, unfortunately, that is not the problem. However, you post
pointed me in the right direction.
Notice this line: (should all be on one line)
DECLARE_STATEMENTS=($(mysql ${COM_LINE} -i -euse ${DB}; SELECT defaults FROM
${table} WHERE 1;))
I am saving the output of the MySQL search in an array. Unfortunately,
the array is assuming that each space in the returned search is a new
element. I have not found out a way to prevent this. If you have any
suggestions, I would appreciate them.
I have tried putting: IFS=$( echo ) before the 'DECLARE_STATEMENTS'
call; however, that produces this error:
./scamp-sql: line 128: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./scamp-sql: line 128: `DECLARE_STATEMENTS=$(mysql ${COM_LINE} -i -euse ${DB};
SELECT defaults FROM ${table} WHERE '1';))'
I know the principal is correct because I tried this code snippet:
IFS=$( echo )
a=1 2 3
b=($a)
echo ${b[0]}
1 2 3
CONCAT would not benefit me either since the 'space' would still exist
in the returned search query. I might have to devise some hack to
combine the three elements into one. Fortunately, there are three
parts to every element. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them.

Using 'USR1' signal in newsyslog.conf file causes error

When I try it via Firefox from a FreeBSD environment, I get this error: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ldap) isn't associated with any program.

The naming of the form ldap:// does not mean you can access it with Firefox or IE, or other web browser. Now you may consider installing something like phpldapadmin that lets you administer an LDAP server through a web interface. I have email clients on my laptops that can access the LDAP server when connected via my LAN. When traveling that is not readily possible (is it)? Therefore, how can I accomplish this or is it not possible?
