You need to copy/mount /libexec and /usr/lib32 from your host system into the jail.

I prefer the current behaviour, that once the login screen appears the system is truly done booting.

I suspect he didn't enable sshd. Run onestart and if it works afterwards that means you forgot to set sshd_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf.

Test is allergic to empty strings in numeriacal comparisons. I normally use something like this: value="$(sysctl -n net.inet6.ip6.forwarding 2> /dev/null)" if [ ${value:-0} -eq ...

Since you're using a USB printer, it might be attached or detached at any given time. However the settings made in devfs.conf are only applied during boot. To set permissions for plug and play devices, one should used devfs.rules. It's a little more complicated at first glance, but the...

I never did that. You could run --check-depends as well. Any way I think this statement is there back from days when portupgrade was the dominant ports maintenance tool. I remember that it was often causing problems with my package database and I got into the habit of running -F every time...

When someone tells you to compile a new kernel, this really isn't (as has already been stated in this thread) necessary in 99% of the cases. Only some very old drivers and altq (load balancing for PF) require to be built into the kernel. Apart from slightly speeding up the loader when booting...

The purpose of deinstall however is to force delete a package so you can install a newer version afterwards. To delete all the dependencies would be counter-productive. I never missed that functionality, because I use pkg_cutleaves to delete unwanted packages.

I'm sorry. How very unfair of pkg_delete to inverse the meaning of -r and -R. I thought that was at least consistent within base package tools. I'll write a shell script for the missing functionality and include it in sysutils/bsdadminscripts. I already have a well working sorting algorithm for...

WARNING: The following post is only there for reference, the advice given is WRONG! You can use -r. This will delete a package and all packages it depends on, unless they are required by another package.

The answer is that you should have used -r or -rR. Unlike portupgrade that requires the -r parameter to do so, portmaster always updates dependencies.

You really got me there, great trick! Now, I'll have to install a file manager and check it out. Currently I'm using terminals for file management.

The port sysutils/bsdadminscripts has just been updated to version 6.0, which features pkg_upgrade, a binary only package maintenance tool. It makes no use of the ports tree, so unlike other build oriented tools, you do not need a copy of the ports tree to keep your packages up to date. It...

Doesn't Freetype implement an autohinting algorithm?

Actually it's an obvious idea. Very nice would be someone who does it. I'd love to, but my project schedule is already overflowing. I'm working on binary package upgrades, some cooperation with kports, the ioq3 1.36 port... And then there are a couple of other things I've put on hold and of...

Well, you mustn't remove the original license, but you can add the GPL as well.

Maybe the best solution would be a HAL compatible devd wrapper. After all, devd has a listener model which is obviously superior to a polling daemon, both in reliability and the need of system resources.

Mail from a server without an MX record is normally dropped. You should register an MX record for your NAT (external IP, obviously).

You mean it actually exists? On topic, if it was similar to ports it wouldn't exchange the libc.

Did anyone ever wonder how HAL accesses devices it doesn't have the permissions to access? I sure do.
