something to do with SASL. Any help appreciated. Best regards, Christopher Nehren -- I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot fri

Re: 3Com USRobotics 5699B 56k fax modem install

If you can, take your 5699B back and get a 5610B. It's a great non-winmodem made by USR, and it gave me many successful and uninterrupted dial-up hours. As an aside, someone should make a database of working modems, like with working printers. Someone might have done so already, /me shrugs. --

fetchmail chopping off messages > 77 kB

I'm currently using fetchmail to retrieve my email from my ISP. It works wonderfully, especially in combination with procmail and SpamAssassin -- except for one little problem that I'd like to verify is a bug here before sending a possibly spurious bug report. It seems that fetchmail truncates all

PDL 2.3.4 marked as broken but builds without problem

I went to build p5-Gimp on my system and it pulled in PDL as a dependency. It failed, saying that the port was broken and didn't compile. Curious, I downloaded the distfile from ftp2.freebsd.org and extracted it to my ~ and built it on my own, without any patches (or errors). I'm not exactly sure o

send-pr(1) requires local mail daemon,breach of contract for Comcast users

I'm running FreeBSD as the only operating system on my home machine, using Comcast non-professional as my ISP. My problem is that send-pr is written to use a local mail daemon to send mail to the GNATS submission site. Running a mail daemon, however, is strictly and expressly prohibited by Comcast'

pom(6) doesn't accept date arguments whereas NetBSD's does

I've compared the versions of pom(6) on FreeBSD and NetBSD (which is also the one installed on Debian GNU/Linux), and the NetBSD one accepts a date argument. Why hasn't this version been imported into FreeBSD? I can see nothing in terms of licensing (or anything else for that matter, including a ma

Sound not working anymore.

I have an SiS 7018 integrated soundcard that used to work with FreeBSD up until a week ago or so. That's when the problem started. Five to ten minutes into the running of the system after a reboot, I get this error message: pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead I've checked the kerne
