I have an Epson C80 attached to a USB port and after the initial install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 (I've tried 4.9 and the same thing happens as described further), I can choose a local USB printer through the Add Printer/Class of the KDE Printing Manager using the CUPS printing system. Before I add the printer I install CUPS-PSTORASTER (which installs its dependencies ie. GHOSTSCRIPT, ESPGS, etc.) and GIMP-PRINT (for the C80 PPD) and at some point I lose the ability to choose the local USB printer selection in the KDE Printing Manager, all of the selections are grayed out with only "Other printer type" and "Class of printers" available. Any ideas of what is going on, or what has happened? I've tried deinstalling CUPS-BASE (through make deinstall) and then reinstalling, installing CUPS-BASE/PSTORASTER 1.20, upgrading to KDE 3.2, but the options remain grayed out. I apologize if this is the wrong list to post this in.

It only takes 15 minutes to get to the airport and you are cheuferred there in a limozine. BeOS Air only has limited types of planes that only hold new luggage. All planes are single seaters and the model names all start with an "F" (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.). The plane will fly you to your destination on autopilot in half the time of other Airways or you can fly the plane yourself. There are limited destinations, but they are only places you'd want to go to anyway. You tell all your friends how great BeOS Air is and all they say is "What do you mean I can't bring all my old baggage with me?" ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Just wanted to mention this for its humor ... everybody needs that on Monday, right? :-) First off, understand that I've been thinking about writing a tongue-in-cheek article called something like "FreeBSD for MSDOS users" ... mostly for my own entertainment, I suppose. Anyway, this is likely comfy for ex-DOS people. Make sure you've created /floppy, then put this in /root/.cshrc or /root/.profile, or wherever you keep root's aliases... here's my line from /root/.cshrc: alias a: "mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /floppy && cd /floppy && ls -l" :-D Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.

It only takes 15 minutes to get to the airport and you are cheuferred there in a limozine. BeOS Air only has limited types of planes that only hold new luggage. All planes are single seaters and the model names all start with an "F" (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.). The plane will fly you to your destination on autopilot in half the time of other Airways or you can fly the plane yourself. There are limited destinations, but they are only places you'd want to go to anyway. You tell all your friends how great BeOS Air is and all they say is "What do you mean I can't bring all my old baggage with me?" ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

All planes are single seaters and the model names all start with an "F" (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.). The plane will fly you to your destination on autopilot in half the time of other Airways or you can fly the plane yourself. There are limited destinations, but they are only places you'd want to go to anyway. You tell all your friends how great BeOS Air is and all they say is "What do you mean I can't bring all my old baggage with me?" ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

You have heard about "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" .... Now that I've covered my communal 'tail': Don't you mean "How do you give an interface multiple static IPs?" I mean, you could just install two NICS .... :-) The correct syntax is in the handbook, section 6.9, but you're very close.... Also, note in ifconfig(8): alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. This is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the address is on the same subnet as the first network address for this interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually 0xffffffff is most appropriate. So you may need to compute another netmask for the alias address. HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.

For example, if I include "NO_SENDMAIL" in my /etc/make.conf and "make buildworld" this should make the new system without sendmail, right? However, the default FreeBSD 5.2 comes with sendmail, so... will that old sendmail still exists on my system when I "make installworld", or is the whole base system replaced by the rebuilt one?

It will. Setting "NO_SENDMAIL" means that it won't build and install sendmail and override your modified config files (if you'reusing postfix for example). -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Mar 3 17:23:01 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7988616A4CE for ; Wed, 3 Mar 2004 17:23:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from web42004.mail.yahoo.com (web42004.mail.yahoo.com [66.218.93.172]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 39FE343D31 for ; Wed, 3 Mar 2004 17:23:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from d3javu1978@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20040304012257.67135.qmail@web42004.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [66.169.209.60] by web42004.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 03 Mar 2004 17:22:56 PST Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 17:22:56 -0800 (PST) From: Me To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <1078351798.683.6.camel@falter> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: IPFilter and IPnat X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2004 01:23:01 -0000 Hello every one, I'm trying to use ipnat to redirect in comming http connections to my server running apache.

It should certainly block anything trying to connect to such IPs.

(without using > partitionmagic, etc...) What do you mean "can't view the linux partitions"? Does this mean you are unable to see these in the partition screen of sysinstall, so that you cannot convert them over to FreeBSD? That's what this sounds like to me. You should really ask this on the -questions list, after providing a heck of a lot more information. But I will make a wild guess: your linux partition are on extended/logical partitions. If so, be aware that FreeBSD only uses primary partitions. The subpartitioning of primary partitions does not use the DOS schema of extended/logical partitions.

It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.
