Re: disable lpr
:I installed cups, which has its own lpr program, and deleted the lpr that is :in world. If I rebuild world, how do I tell it not to install lpr? I know I :did this for sendmail, but I forgot where the configuration is. : :Pierre :-- :lo ponse be lo mruli po'o cu ga'ezga roda lo ka dinko I'm running cups on my workstation too, talking to a Canon printer. Instead of disabling lpr I just reworked the PATH environment variable to put /usr/pkg/bin before /usr/bin. Another trick I use if the above is too sneaky is to put /usr/local/bin first in the PATH and create a script called lpr to exec the the one from /usr/pkg/bin. -- If we really wanted to make things easy we could make /usr/bin/lpr recognize an environment variable to tell it to forward to another lpr (aka /usr/pkg/bin/lpr).. though we'd have to be careful since /usr/bin/lpr is suid and sgid. Maybe a simple 'LPR_USE_PKGSRC' env variable that could be set to '1'. -Matt Matthew Dillon

These do seem to be build configuration errors, and not e.g. JVM runtime errors, so I suspect they will not be too hard to correct. For those wanting any jdk on x64 - the makefiles previously announced along with your own copy of the JDK source should build the 1.6 system, with the exception that jdk 1.6 required a hack to the pkgsrc 'gcc' wrapper to -I the correct directory for freetype (workdir-include/freetype iirc), and for some reason the pkg_alternatives setup didn't work on my 1.6 package, so to use you might need to link these in manually, etc. However, I have run over my alloted time to proceed at the moment, so I will likely be picking this up again in a few weeks time.

Can anybody provide an example rc.conf settings for AP mode? in /etc/rc.conf – not 100% sure about the latter, but in any case creating wlan0 and configuring it are separate steps. without the wlans_ath0 line the rc scripts don't even know they should look for *_wlan0 variables. Thank you, I've read rc.conf' man page once more and got it. Also, check out the docs about hostapd, I think it should (needs to?) be involved in creating an AP. Again, not sure. No, hostapd is not necessary.

wifi AP setup howto
Good day. I have home router ThinkPad R31 with D-link (Atheros 2413) wifi card. Now it works with DragonFlyBSD 2.6. Today I have tried to replace HDD by the CF card with CF-IDE adapter and update OS to 2.13 (2.01.2012 snapshot ISO). WiFi AP works fine, but what I must write in the /etc/rc.conf? Now I have this /etc/rc.local: /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap \ inet 192.168.2.234 netmask 255.255.255.0 \ ssid thinkpot nwkey topsecretpswd authmode shared \ mode 11g pureg hidessid channel 4 This string in the /etc/rc.conf don't work: ifconfig_wlan0="create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap inet 192.168.2.234 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid thinkpot nwkey topsecretpswd authmode shared mode 11g pureg hidessid"
