If you also run Linux, you can copy your ~/.vimrc or the systemwide one to your FreeBSD as ~/.vimrc and that should fix the problem. Also export your editor as vim in your ~/.bashrc. In addition, I make an alias so that when I use 'vi' as a command, I get 'vim' and not what FreeBSD uses as vi by default. I had the same problems that you report. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It is true that the companies that sell computers and software benefit, but the same could be said of companies that sell state-approved textbooks to schools (if you have seen those textbooks you know what I mean), the companies that sell shoes for sports, etc. There is one large software company that gives some software to schools and then gets a tax cut even though it benefits down the line when those kids grow up to buy that company's software because that is the software they know.

I had gone to the ##freebsd channel on Freenode for help and had been told to run # rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* This showed that I had succeeded in getting jabber to start after mysql, but things were still not working properly.

question about ordering of lines in rc.conf
It appears that the order of the *_enable="YES" lines in /etc/rc.conf is important. I am looking at a HOWTO for HPLIP in which the author suggests adding two lines in a certain order.

If you run gdm on the server: I checked one of my boxes which runs Linux and I have this in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf UserAuthFBDir=/tmp UserAuthFile=.Xauthority I don't believe this was set by default, I believe it was commented out on my FreeBSD box and it was causing problems until I uncommented the two lines.

If you are using vi or vim to edit the file, I believe putting a ! after the command to save the file (do this as the root user or use sudo) will save it. So instead of :wq in vi, use :wq! Another way of saving the file is to do (as root) chmod u+w /etc/inetd.conf before you edit the file or chmod 600 /etc/inetd.conf There are many UNIX resources online as well as books that can be useful to you in learning UNIX commands. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I put 'XAuthLocation ' in my ~/.ssh/config on the FreeBSD box and that fixed the problem for both Linux boxes; I can connect to either of them and run X apps. I believe that if I do the same thing on each of the Linux boxes, I should be able to connect to the FreeBSD host and run X apps. Also, instead of each user having to do the above modification, I will put 'XAuthLocation' in /etc/ssh/ssh_config (instead of sshd_config) globally and that should take care of this issue. thank you for your help ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Interesting, because that was the first thing I did, but it did not solve the problem. What did solve the problem was to add the same line to my /etc/ssh/ssh_config in the "Host *" section. This only fixed one side of the connection, so I can connect from the FreeBSD host to the Linux hosts. On the Linux hosts, I put XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth in their /etc/ssh/ssh_config files but that did not fix the problem from the Linux hosts to FreeBSD.

Before I installed FreeBSD, I had been using PC-BSD on the same laptop on which I now have FreeBSD. I had only been running PC-BSD on the laptop for a little over a week, when it crashed. I rebooted the machine and I had an unbootable system. It would start to boot and then lockup as soon as KDE appeared, so I think the problem wasn't PC-BSD but KDE. I then installed FreeBSD. If this happens again, I will try installing gdm or xdm to see if that fixes the problem. Because of your experience as described in this thread, I think I will put off installing FreeBSD on my desktop machines until I have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) installed. I don't know if there are certain models of UPS's that will work with FreeBSD better than others. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

My crash was unrelated to a power failure. We have lots of those in this part of California (Humboldt County) but this was on a laptop.

PuTTY has Enable X11 forwarding checked. When I saw this post, I thought it was mine, because I am having the same problem, but only in FreeBSD and not Linux and my configurations on both are very much the same (for sshd). I am also unable to use port forwarding in vnc (fbsd 6.2) but I am not certain whether this is related to the X11 Forwarding issue or if it is something unrelated. SSH complains that it cannot use the designated port (I have tried different ports.

Re: Can't burn cds
I had trouble getting CD burning to work, but the FreeBSD Handbook had the info I needed to get it to work.

I am certain it's my configuration. I will have a look at some tutorials, and I am almost certain the problem is not in the web server configuration but in my configuration for phpMyAdmin itself. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I suggest you use a different email address for your mailing list subscriptions. You can filter so that any mail that does not come from a known list server is sent to /dev/null. Of course it will mean that any replies sent to you off-list would be lost but it would for the most part fix the spam problem.

I have used it in Linux and I know that in Linux, to have a graphical interface, one has to specify that during "configure", before compiling. The command for the graphical interface is "gmplayer". Try that and see if you already have the gui installed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I believe that would depend on the country of one's residence.

Would one use a WEP key in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ?
Mine looks like this and I have a laptop with built-in Ralink rt2500
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="myssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=12345979374andalotorletterstoo
