Starting some operation as common user (for example compiling/building)
before promoting to privileged (generally root) by su'ing or sudo'ing
(for example to install) is common.
But does somebody know of an established program or library that allows
to start a process as root and to automatically

Hello,
Since compiling Firefox is not really a piece of cake, I have opted to
simply using pkg_add and pointing to the NetBSD repositories.
Having updated Firefox to 107.0.1, and being on NetBSD 9.3/amd64, there
is now no sound when trying to watch/listen a video.
Before, I had these options

Context: Some weeks ago my ISP, without notice, switched my connexion

The provider (in this case OVH) presents some pre-built OS images to

This may help others.
Since my previous firefox installation on NetBSD x86_64/9.1 was starting
not to display correctly some sites, I upgraded.
Since with the huge dependencies of firefox, I seem to be unable now to
compile from pkgsrc on my node---there is always several packages
that fail to

Here what I have found:
1) There is no .strtab pb neither with a cross-ld or with the native ld
on earmv7hf using the test that was sufficient to exhibit the problem
before the fix of Aug 2019;
2) When installing firefox32, retrieving the package and all its
dependencies from NetBSD packages

Hello,
I have some IDE disks that I'd like to read in order to know what is
left on them before deciding what to do with them.
I bought a PCI-E IDE adapter to be able to connect them, since my AMD64
is SATA.
The problem is that the pciide connected disks appear first hence, after
