Using PC as serial terminal on running system

I'm using my laptop and tip(1) as a serial terminal. This is working well when a machine is booted with the laptop connected to its serial port. However, I need to be able to connect the laptop to a machine which was booted without a serial console. I've set the ttyd0 line in /etc/ttys and sigH

Removing removable ATA hard drives

I recently bought a drive caddy for an ATA hard drive. The unit is in two parts: a cassette, into which can be fitted a standard ATA hard drive, and a carrier permanently fitted into a standard drive bay. The carrier includes a power keyswitch for the drive bay. I installed it, brought the box

ports adding users

This is, I guess, a philosophical question. Twice in the last couple of weeks I have been bitten by ports adding users or groups. In setting up my laptop, I created my user account in sysinstall without creating my group. My ~ was created with the GID corresponding to my UID, but in building KD

mimedefang with LDAP-enabled sendmail

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm running 6.1 (the security branch) with a recently-updated ports tree (1 September). I have modified /etc/make.conf to change the options for the system sendmail, by adding these lines: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 -D

Base sendmail: undefined symbol in libmilter when -DLDAPMAP set in make.conf

This summarises the conversation I have had with myself on the list over the last few days: I'm not sure whether this is really a question or a potential PR. I am running FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE-p5 (cvsup on 6 September). One of the source files for a rebuild of /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/libmilter
