I need some startup help in moving my new systems.  Sure would appreciate
it if I could get a pointer here on a couple of matters.  My new
physical location has really improved things, but my mail isn't
working yet, right, and my keyboard is also going wrong.

My mail has to come first, here the setup:  I want to use my
FreeBSD box, april, to relay mail from my Mac OS/X box, which has
the address of "may".  Actually, I have 4 static IPs, and I want
april to allow me to send mail from anything in my domain to
anywhere I want to send it.  That's the only relaying I want to
allow, I want to be careful and not become a spam-source.

I tried to send a mail to my work, and may correctly tried to
relay through april.  I caught the transaction in ethereal, and
it looks like april is looking at the destination of the mail, my
work address, and denying it based on that.  I thought it would
only be using the source address to allow or disallow the
relaying.  Guess I'm wrong.  I have all my local machine names in
/etc/mail/local-host-names.  What else do I have to do to get my
relaying (to anywhere I want to send it, here) working?

Second part, the usb.  I'm running current, BTW.  I have done the
stuff in the kernel config, I hope: I took out the "device atkbd"
line and replaced it with the ukbd line.  I put in the ukbd
device, rebooted.  Now, it's started to recognize the keyboard,
but very oddly ... it seems to recognize about 1 key a minute,
and it also seems to get hung up on a signle key (recognize it as
if I was leaning on the key for 30 seconds, like maybe it saw the
down but not the up).  I tried the line from the kbdcontrol
manpage, "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console", that keeps on
telling me that the device is busy.

The usb device I'm using is the one on the motherboard of this
Tyan Thunder K7X, no hub.  Here's the section of my config file
that applies:

# usb devices
device usb
device uhid
device udbp
device ugen
device uhci
device ohci
device ulpt
device uscanner
device umass
device ums
# tell the kernel to make the device, it's not automatic
options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV

# The AT keyboard
device      atkbd
device ukbd

# new syscons stuff

device          vga
device          sc

device          sio


Thanks for the help, fellas, I sure hope this gets to you.  I am
reading my mail fine, at least!
