Hi all
We've just noticed something strange here, that probably has a mundane
explanation but we can't figure it out. On a 2.2.8 FreeBSD system, if anyone
creates a file in /tmp, the group gets set to `bin'. The SGID bit is not set,
so that doesn't explain it. Does anyone know why this happens? U

I've seen it happen once. Eventually it turned out that the drive had
become too hot, and FreeBSD wasn't able to synchronize it's data. No
miracle the root file system was broken a

Hi Bill,
I'm having quite a few problems with my linksys cards.
I think most are caused because I'm connected to a switch
rather than a simple hub.
The cards are the new Version 2 cards (with Wake On Lan)
and use the MX driver.
1) On 3.3-stable, the linksys mx driver detects my network

I have an application that uses SIGUSR1, but also POSIX threads. It
appears (?) that the user-level POSIX threads now incorporated into
FreeBSD 3.x use SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. Is this correct? If so, and I
have a threaded application, what signals are still available for use?

No, the thread
I'm familiar with LinuxThreads libc_r that uses BOTH SIGUSR1 and
SIGUSR2. I recently took code that used to work with FSU's
implementation of threads under FreeBSD; and instead recompiled with
the new FreeBSD 3.x threads; however, it crashes now when creating
threads.

I've increased maxusers to 512, and NMBCLUSTERS to 16384, and I haven't
been able to reproduce the kernel panic problem anymore.
So, my conclusion is that increasing maxusers solved the problem.
I don't believe that raising NMBCLUSTERS by itself, or it indirectly being
raised by maxusers, fixed

of course if you want to be really generic,
we've just added the netgraph code to -current which implements a lot more
