bsd.gnome.mk is broken in 6.3-RELEASE ? Cannot update x11 ports ?

Clean install of 6.3-RELEASE. cvsup _only_ ports/x11, ports/x11-wm, ports/x11-servers Now enter ports/x11/xorg and attempt a 'make install' Eventually it bombs out with: ===Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/pixman-1.pc in /usr/ports/x11/pixman Unknown modifier '9'

What ELSE do I need to add to make.conf to avoid X ?

Just trying to install rrdtool on a server. Do not want X. Do not want X11. Do not want Xorg. So I did the right thing and added this to /etc/make.conf: WITHOUT_X11=yes WITHOUT_X=yes WITH_X=NO ENABLE_GUI=NO and then 'make install' in the rrdtool directory. The problem is, eventually I saw

help with text-append over SSH ?

I have an account on a system where I cannot log in over SSH, but I _can_ run a limited set of commands remotely, over SSH. (I am in a jail of some sorts). I want to append the contents of a local text file to the contents of a remote text file, over SSH. Normally, I would do this locally

oflag option in GNU dd - equivalent in FreeBSD dd ?

I am used to using this command in Linux, using GNU dd: dd if=/blah of=/bleh oflag=append conv=notrunc The problem is, FreeBSD 'dd' does not understand the oflag argument. Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ?

ipfw rule question ... all possible interfaces ?

Is there a way to tell ipfw: all interfaces currently configured on this system ? I have a laptop and at any time I could plug in a USB NIC or plug in a pccard, in addition to the onboard LAN and WIFI, either of which may or may not be configured at boot time. So the point is, the active,

problems with old SSH client and

I have a machine with an older SSH client on it and I am trying to connect to my 6.2-RELEASE system. I have changed the default line of: Protocol 2 to: Protocol 2,1 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and now, from another modern FreeBSD system, I can successfully log in with this command: ssh -1 -c

where did the peak mbuf stat go ?

FreeBSD 4.x, netstat -m: 70/4336/26624 mbufs in use (current/peak/max) Never any doubt - if peak=max, I hit the limit. Super useful. Furthermore, by watching the peak I can see when I am getting close, rather than waiting for denied requests to pile up after the fact. FreeBSD 6.x, netstat -m:

allowing non-root to ipfw show ?

Is there any way to allow a non-root user the ability to view firewall rules with: ipfw show I would really like to allow some non-root users to see certain count rules I have in place, but they don't seem to be allowed to run 'ipfw' in any capacity. Suggestions ?

why can't I use $1 in .cshrc ?

I am trying to use this alias in my root .cshrc file: grep $1 /some/file but .cshrc _refuses_ to expand $1 as a proper variable (in this case, the first argument to the alias...) I _think_ it's because $1 is being interpreted as a argument to csh _itself_ when it runs .cshrc ... but maybe
