Ok, please stop that now. Those pseudo-witty replies are getting quite annoying. Thanks.

segfault on build (stable)

2006-01-28 Thread M. Schatzl
Hi, I just tried to rebuild the stable userland yesterday night. There seems to be something (I know, a bit vague) wrong with that banner stuff. Due to the CVS-logs, nobody changed a thing here recently. Does anybody see the same error or should I blame my box for that: cc -O2 -pipe-c /usr/s

Hi, I've got a D-Link DWL-G650 (H/W C2, F/W 3.1.6) PCMCIA wifi-card lying around here for some time. I haven't had tested it by now, but out of curiousity I was searching for some info yesterday why it wouldn't work on OpenBSD (though it seemed to be recognized as ath1, AR5212, but not registered

Hi, I've got a strange problem here; maybe some of you have a better understanding of the issue: Machine:Thinkpad X40 Disks: 40G, 60G Partitions: 7.5G NTFS : OpenBSD : Free Space : 4G CompaqRescue Installing OpenBSD on the original disk (40G) made no problems at all. Everything worked j

The easiest way would be to look for a file $USER.key in /home. If it exists, look for a corresponding $USER.img file somewhere and mount it on /home/$USER. This way you won't have to do anything special for a certain user except changing his login-facility used. And you don't twist semantics. As

>>oh, like putting it in the gecos field? that'd be kinda cool. I like that idea.. But what are you doing if you want to transfer your crypted dir to another machine? Will be definitely harder to squeeze the bits out of the gecos. And you probably get a high probability of funny terminal behaving
