Problem with cvsup?

I've been trying to run cvsup all day, in the way I normally do, but it won't connect to the server - it says that the connection is refused. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Installing nVidia drivers

I'd like to install drivers for 3D acceleartion and such for my nVidia GForce 2 card. I've read several sites that point me in different places for the drivers themselves, and nVidia's site has "Linux displayer drivers", "graphics drivers", and "platform drivers". Exactly what software do I nee

sftp / scp not working?

I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2. I can ssh into the box fine, but sftp gives this error message: unix13:~/$ sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to machine.name... [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Received message too long 1500476704 unix13:~/$ and scp gives this one: unix13:~/$ scp foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Setting permissions for a user

I would like to create an account to be used for FTP. Since the password will be known by a couple people / could be sniffed since it's not sftp, I would obviously like to limit the powers of this user as much as possible. Specifically, I would like it to be able to create and read files in it's

Updating to 4.7 after breaking system

I wanted to update to 4.7-STABLE, so I ran make buildworld. After realizing that I was not in fact building 4.7, the built stopped and I removed /usr/obj. Except while in /usr/obj I ran `rm -rf /etc` instead of 'rm -rf etc'. This ran for less than a second before I stopped it though. However,

/dev/ums0 not initialized

When I left for break, I had a perfectly working system (FreeBSD 4.7-CURRENT). When I came back and booted it after being down for 5 days, when I try to start KDE I get an error saying no mouse found, device at /dev/ums0 is not initialized. I'm using a Logitech USB mouse (I've also tried using i

Re: /dev/ums0 not initialized

That didn't work, I get the same error. What I have gotten to work is using it in the PS/2 port and setting the X mouse device to /dev/psm0. Any idea why it doesn't work with USB anymore? Thanks, Adam On Sun, 1 Dec 2002, Mark Stosberg wrote: > On Sun, 1 Dec 2002, Adam
