Right, 8 is the norm. When you have 10 or 11 a couple or four of them

Is there a IPv6 Mailing list for FreeBSD/*BSD specifically? Has there
been any additional article since the Feb 2000 FreeBSDzine article,
which is out of date?

Unix is very user-friendly. It's just picky who its friends are.

Hello!
I have:
int ziva_ioctl(dev_t dev, u_long cmd, caddr_t arg, int flag, struct
proc* pr)
when this function catches a ioctl from userspace, called as:
int foo = 199;
ioctl(fd, 10, &foo);
the u_long cmd contains 10, which is correct (so the ioctl-handler is
called correctly)

How about [EMAIL PROTECTED]? It is for KAME, but FreeBSD's IPv6
code came from KAME.
There is [EMAIL PROTECTED], but in Japanese.

I have been trying to build kbebase-1.1.2 and the make dies trying to
compile kscreensaver/morph3d.cpp. It seems to find X11/Intrinsic but
it cant't find GL/xmeasa.h. The directories X11 and GL are at the same
level in the X11R6 tree. I've found that if I add

JIC someone is interested in improving our make, while porting BSD make
to Unixware I had some email with Simon J. Gerraty that I now post in
part:

Oh, btw I've just put bmake-3.0.2 up for ftp. This has some nifty new

Hello,
Actualy had some netowrk problems here yesterday, so if you sent me any
replies yesterday I didn't receive it, but don't see any reason why the
troubles should have caused the loss of any Email.
Anyway over the past day I have had yet two more crashes, and wasn't sure

10 is not a valid ioctl number. You gotta use the _IO* macros to
construct one that does the copyin/copyout as needed.

With CDMA, you can get a distance very easily. The phones know what
time it is, or CDMA doesn't work at all. That helps a lot. Much of
GPS's work is knowing what time it is. Since the phone knows what
time it is, they can do all kinds of calculations and round trip
things to get the distance.

And really crappy coverage between towns. At least in Colorado, New
