Do I need atapicam?

2005-01-02 Thread Trey Sizemore
I'm running 5.3-RELEASE and want to use k3b for CD burning. I have an IDE CD burner and IDE DVD drive. Do I need to have atapicam loaded in the kernel? Has this been depricated in 5.3? I notice the following in my GENERIC kernel config: salamander# cat /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC | grep atapi devic

The problem with resolv.conf is that it just puts insightbb.com in there. Doing a whois on insightbb.com gives a few DNS servers but none of them are any speedier lookups then the others. If I put the IP that insightbb.com resolves to it's still slow. On Sun, 2 Jan 2005 09:41:20 -0600, Josh Paetz

Hi folks, when I kill -HUP named on 5.3 (BIND 9), it exits, instead of reloading, as stated in the manpage. Is this normal? I think it's rather impractical, since it prevents proper log rotation through newsyslog.conf (when using "file" logging in named.conf). It doesn't seem to matter if it
