Hi. How did you print that ASCII logo? with banner(6) ?

in this txt called bannersteps will explain you how to make it

Thanks. But i could not find anything about ASCII logo.

I guess line 19, changing hello world with your ascii should do it, right? ascii can be generated manually before and pasted at that line

Yes yes. I thought @CarlDCharlie uses a program/script for printing the logo.

with this script. it declares the colors, and then you just print whatever you want ... do tests like that

the motd function is how i made the banner you have seen ... later i used this function as a motd, or a status script ... whatever you want

if you need to print a welcome when you login, you can use the motd

right now i am on openbsd and i can not reboot to launch freebsd, what is wrong with your date and time?

and the end of the file /etc/rc maybe you have a date command?? i can not see my freebsd now, sorry

can I install custom kernel with a different name? I am not gonna use this kernel every time just in some situations

any idea on this? how can I have more than two kernels? not just kernel and kernel.old

yup you can do a CUSTOM kernel, got to compile it, takes a very long time, likely to PANIC !!

can you select which at boot ?

I can but there is just kernel and kernel.old why can't I have three or more

Hello and thank you

Just curious, wizard outside computer world, inside it, or at both? (:

m4 question I’m trying to come up with a macro that adds arguments to a string and keeps it. Example: A(`foo’) A(`bar’) A => foo bar My best shot is: define(`A',`ifelse(`$#',`0',`undivert(1)',`divert(1)$1 divert`'dnl')') A(`foo’) A(`bar’) A => foo bar However I can’t use A to expand in another macro: translit(`A’,`a-z',`A-Z') => foo bar | expected: FOO BAR 1. How to correctly store a result of undivert to use it in another macro 2. Is my approach even sane or there’s better way to solve the problem?

Yes, it’s invoked in a shell

Yes

Do you guys know if a 2 laptop cluster could be done?

Hello and welcome @demon_arp

Seems that isn't a general topic, as I can't find any related information easily by googling, so: can a heavily experienced sysadmin, tell me how to use the toor user, because I got really scared when I saw it, because I was thinking I am hacked? :)

thanks, but can I ask why can it be useful during backup or recovery processes?

Did you manage to do something?

I only say something related to this topic. In theory, you can login with any user using their name and getting and id, getpwnam or equivalent, (this related to low level coding), but also you can use sudo or doas to be toor used even without a shell, as you can specify it with -s param. But that's not the problem itself. I see a security risk on having nowadays the toor user, because it can be used evilish to gain uid 0 by using its name and not appearing as a root user, but as a toor and bypass some possible security checkings by other software or even the sysadmin with some bad looking on, or some command... but the worst I see, is that it is a resource that only works easily with having a shell. It's not the matter itself to don't have a shell, it's the matter to be a must to configure a shell and later on you have a backup account for root when the system crashes or whatever... I remember few cases where another root user was a need, but those cases were related with security bypass methods and... didn't finally got it to work because I saw rare another user with uid = 0. IMHO, this shouldn't be called a security risk at all, even could be useful in some cases where the exploit needs some other name instead of the root account for getpwna or spoof an uid = 0 account, even can be a easy backup setup. Let it installed and change some parameter to make it work under unwanted circumstances, for example, giving it a password and a shell but even being possible to hide that part of the file with a rootkit... so, if the use is only to configure it by hand, and give it a shell and a password is a must, or not if the recovery system doesn't need a password, why don't let it to be configurable easily by hand if you need it instead of having it by default, if by default it just doesn't work and is just a remember and a help to configure it if you want? I am speaking of reversing the logic of configuration by default, instead of pre-installing, don't pre-install, but if you need it, to have easily some script on the system to set up. Because usually is safer to see a toor account if you installed it, rather than it is by default and maybe backdoored or not... IDK, I really like it to be removed by default but to be a chance if you really need it. But also, speaking as a beginner. Nobody knows everything and sometimes the minimum byte makes the difference. And hope this helps.

Jesus fucking Christ, are you writing an ancient scroll? Either downsize, or learn to paragraph correctly Like this

How difficult would it be to write an AX.25 stack for FreeBSD like the one present in Linux? Where would I start?

Like this is an old recipe of a very intelligent friend I met from the ancient Greece, and we learnt together to do magics. But thanks anyway ;-) BTW, nowadays toor is not used because now we know to lookup by uid rather than pwnam. I am a 31 y.o undertaking developer and sysadmin from Spain. I learnt writing in english with translate.google because when I started, I hadn't the chance to learn english well. Actually I don't really mind if it's best or worst written; I just see it compiles. But sorry, I understand you. It happens the same to me when reading Spanish.

It's okay you're not prefect at English This kind of paragraphing makes your text much more readble

I am trying to output the sound over the jack, into the speakers. But on FreeBSD there's not configured by default as in Linux. Then I only can hear over the internal speakers.

thanks to linux binary support for bsd , u can run pulseaudio
