Hi,
I run a 4.2-STABLE machine, world done this morning. I had some troubles with
fdescfs. Reading the fdesc(5) manual page, I have to mount the fdescfs like I
would mount procfs. But if I compile my kernel with options FDESC or if I load
the fdesc.ko kernel module, I have access to /dev/

Hello,
talk(1) uses the isprint() function to determine if a character is
printable. If it's not, it outputs '^' followed by the character without
his 8th bit. However, isprint() and friends are broken currently on
FreeBSD (at least on -STABLE), so it will never recognize an accentued

Hi,
Here is a patch to select the modules you want and don't want.
The patch is for /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile from RELENG_4.
Then you have to put variables in make.conf (i'm writing the patch
for defaults/make.conf) like this :
NO_KMOD_FPU=true
NO_KMOD_GNUFPU=true
...
Thanks for any

Hi everybody,
When ldconfig is invoked without any parameters, the shared library

Hi,
Here is the small patch to activate the -R behaviour when no arguments

The problem is that I _DID_ a make depend after the config -r, and this haven't

Hi,
I'm new to the FreeBSD kernel and I wanted to know what are the good
methods to read a sysctl value from the kernel. Is it the same interface
as in user-space ?
Any help or links to some documentation would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,

It even has a little GUI but it's done primarily for console, though.

Perhaps it would be nice to disallow VRFY and EXPN commands by default
too. This can be easily done by adding goaway to the PrivacyOptions (and
so put O PrivacyOptions=authwarnings,goaway).
Hoping this will help.
