Taking a look I found there was not termcap there so I copied the one over from the server (along with termcap.db). The results were gratifying. ^L now clears the screen. vi actually starts and will in fact edit a file -- though it can't lock the recovery file and it sets reverse video on the text. Doesn't work perfectly, but it is better than before... Got telnetd started -- thanks. man doesn't start -- looks like the libstdc++ problems you mentioned to David. Now that I've got this stuff working -- what would be the most useful testing I could do at this point?

Telnetd can't run from the command line; what you need to do is enable inetd in /etc/rc.conf, inetd_enable="YES" Then uncomment the telnetd line in /etc/inetd.conf, and add the world 'secure' to the first few pty lines in /etc/ttys to allow root login (unless you want to create an additional account) # Pseudo terminals ttyp0 none network secure ttyp1 none network secure ... > I'd still like to be able to get vi to run -- call it a mini- > project for me.

It may be possible to locate, or even come up with, a termcap entry that would work for the OpenFirmware console, but given that there has to be a new type of console (e.g. a syscons re-work, or a port of NetBSD's wscons) to get USB to work, there's not much point in spending the time on it. later, Peter. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
