Hi everyone,
I recently tried to add a user to my FreeBSD box, but was amazed to find that
the / partition was full! I had a look, and the culprit is the "/rescue"
folder, holding 135 statically linked binaries of nearly 4Mb each, giving a
folder size of 491Mb!
The Handbook says that "100 MB
Hi,
I have a phantom user stuck in my system that I can neither use nor delete. I
have been playing with "Virtual Users" in "pure-ftpd" and it seems to have
messed things around.
Substituting `bob` for the user name, here is some of my command line:
# grep bob /etc/passwd /etc/pwd.db
# pw add

Hi,
Sometimes (not always) when I do a 'portupgrade', it takes _ages_ to "update
the ports index", without actually placing any noticeable load on the system.
In ports/UPDATING, it says (of make index) "This may take an undesirably long
time.". That would be fine, *if it were doing any work*.
Hi,
When I installed php4 from a port, I also installed php4-extensions. It gave
me an ncurses menu to choose from possible extensions.
Now I want to install some extensions that I didn't choose the first time
round, but I can't get the menu to reappear.
I have tried:
make clean && make
make

Hi all,
I am getting the impression that I am using the ports and packages system the
wrong way, but can't find a good tutorial on how to use them to their best. I
would be quite happy to write one up, but I need to understand it first!
My problem is that my ports tree is always a couple of min

Hi,
I have a brand new Microsoft optical wheel mouse with a 'tilt wheel'.
It works as a 3-button mouse under X with:
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device""/dev/psm0"
but the wheel doesn't work (i.e. doesn't even show up in `xev`)
The X documentation:

Um. I feel silly asking this. But I can't work it out.
I want a shell script to run as another user. I always thought this was easy
to do with the setuid bit, but never tried it before. I read "man chmod" and
found this:

Hi,
I want to run stream based commands like `sed` and `tr` on the contents of a
file, and save the results to the same file.
Obviously I can do this with a temporary file:
$sed s/dog/cat/ myanimals.txt > tmp.txt
$mv tmp.txt myanimals.txt
But is there any way I can do this with a single comman
