an app.
Is there some way to get a similar behavior to "link_relative" working?
Is there a better route to take with getting OpenOffice to work across NFS?
Thanks,

It's no Acrobat, but KWord can open up a pdf to allow you to edit it.
It has to be a pretty simple pdf or the formatting will get messed up

For original documents, both KWord and OpenOffice.org Writer both
produce excellent output. For fancier work, Scribus is the app.

Is there some way to manually reset the USB?

If time permits, I'll run a pkg_delete on the libraries and try the compile
again. Now that I got my editor back up and running, I gots to get some of
my real work done! :)

Having a heck of a time with what I thought would be a pretty simple cron job

port problems.
The Scenario:
I'm running an ssh session looped back to itself so as to configure a tunneled
port forward from localhost:2121
r when run from cron. Neither one is actually getting the file though.
What in the heck is it about cron that goofs these ports up??

Eric,
Not knowing what all you've got configured exactly, here's a couple of
possible guesses to weed out the basics.
Can you do a reverse DNS lookup on your mail server? In other words, perform
a whois on the IP address and get a legit domain name. Many servers require
this in order to keep
There's a bit of info concerning Samba acting as a server with Kerberos
authentication out on the web. I'm needing to go the other way with this
though. I need to mount on a FreeBSD box an SMB share with Kerberos
authentication. In this case, FreeBSD is acting as the client.

Anyone out there able to make any sense of that Ruby code? Is there
