Use ipf on solaris; it's what I do at work at least. But yeah, this is a FreeBSD list; it offended me that you posted here for that type of info. Another good place to try is irc.freenode.net (I think that's right), in #solaris. Don't try #solaris on efnet unless you're a Sun god, because they

All of that sounds great! I got the network setup at home to get -CURRENT downloadeded, but I might just do it once I get back to school (next Monday) where I have higher connection speeds. For now though, I can certainly take a look at several man pages, print them out and such. I'll try to

Re: Reading rc.conf from C programs?

Oh, and changing a bit of what I said in my previous post, you could instead just pass the strtok to strlen I think and then rewind your file pointer. This should save some CPU cycles or at least save code complexity by doing it this way (in my mind at least). Anyway, just a couple thoughts.

Re: Reading rc.conf from C programs?

2003-01-02 Thread wgrim
Well, perhaps I'm missing something here, but can't you just tokenize the items in rc.conf using strtok after opening up the file in your C program? And char buffer sizes is a problem, you can record where the file pointer is, do you a strtok on say '=', subtract the new file pointer size with t

Thanks to both Richard and Kutulu for your feedback. I'll start with the information you two have given me and probably ask more pointed questions down the road to the entire -hackers group. I'll be sure to get in touch with the NetBSD people as well. Thanks again, Mike Quoting Kutulu <[EMAIL

Hi, I originally sent this to a Jaques, who said he had done previous nsswitch work on FreeBSD. However, my email to him was bounced back, and I've included it below for him or anyone to see. I don't have low-level experience with FreeBSD (yet) in terms of coding, but I have a real need for th
