/usr/sbin/sendmail is a symlink to mailwrapper(8) which uses
/etc/mailer.conf to choose what sendmail replacement you want (or the
real thing).

Also see the mailer.conf(5) manual.

The mailer.conf can be configured so sendmail really uses
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail. And mailq to use qmail-qstat (even though it has
different format). (It seems like the package should include sample
mailer.conf.)

It does, as of qmail-1.03nb3:

vorbis-tools package broken?

I just tried to install the vorbis-tools 1.0.0.8 package.  I think it's 
broken.

I'm running NetBSD 1.5.2 on x86.  I updated /usr/pkgsrc from CVS less than 
ten minutes ago.

After running "make install" in /usr/pkgsrc/audio/vorbis-tools, I saw the 
following:

===> Registering installation for vorbis-tools-1.0.0.8
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkg/bin/ogg123'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkg/man/man1/ogg123.1'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkg/share/doc/vorbis-tools-1.0/ogg123rc-example'

I had a look in /usr/pkgsrc/audio/vorbis-tools/work/vorbis-tools-1.0/ogg123.  
It does not look like anything in this directory was even compiled.  I 
looked at other directories under work/vorbis-tools and I can see the 
results of successful compilations there.

I tried running make in the ogg123 directory, but nothing happened.  I'm 
not good enough with makefiles to debug this one.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks.

First off, read the man page for make. Consider it a must.

I would "make clean" (to clear the make configs you've done already), then 
"make", then "make install" again to see if that works. Get back to us if

keyboardproblem with netbsd/sparc

hi

maybe i am blind or dump, but i can not find much information
about how to change the keyboardtyp or mapping on netbsd/sparc.

at the i386 port i have the /etc/X11/XF86Config, but i can not
find such thing on my sun.

it is a ss5 with a keyboard5, german type, and i have the
problem, that i can type not really all letters.

i got no | < > ... and i really needed that ;) for my work.

any hints, hacks or information ?

urls and rtfms are welcome.

i like the suns, they are great and goodlooking ;)
btw. a second "problem" is, that if i try to play
an audio cdrom on the sun cdrom, the whole machine
is slowing down and i got a message on the xconsole:

cd0(0:6:0): esp0: timed out [ecb 0xf07b09a0 (flags 0x43, dleft 42, stat 0)]
.....
sd1(esp0:3:0): max sync rate 10.00MB/s
sd0(esp0:1:0): max sync rate 10.00MB/s

sd1 first hd 2.1g
sd0 second hd 9.1g

Is "xmodmap" what you are looking for?  If that does the trick,  then you
may want to get xkeycaps from the x11 package collection. It's a graphical
front end to xmodmap.

I built vorbis-tools from pkgsrc, but not via CVS. I used
"make fetch-list" instead. It went okay for me. I haven't tried
to use it because of other difficulties to create a sound file
in the first place. But I get this when I check on the package...

Can't adjust mic volume on record...

I gave up trying to configure the i82801BA audio
which is built into the Intel D815EEA2 motherboard.
I bought and installed a SoundBlaster 16 PCI, one
of the oldest and most ubiquitous sound cards on
Earth. It autoconfigures at boot, thus... 

gus: {2} dmesg | grep audio0
audio0 at eap0: full duplex, mmap, independent
audio0 at eap0: full duplex, mmap, independent
gus: {3} 

...and KDE2 can play MP3's through it. But mostly
I wanted to record. I still can not properly record,
even after two days of fiddling. 

First I tried using these: audiorecord, mixctl,
audioctl and audioplay. I had to kill KDE2 though,
so as to avoid an error saying the device was "busy".
My best result after hours of trial and error
was a low-volume and very scratchy playback. 

So I gave up on the CLI stuff and swicthed over to
some X tools: xmix, xwave and KDE Sound Mixer. These
gave low-volume but clear playback. The scratchiness,
at lest, was now gone. 

It is interestinig to note that even tough pkg_info
reports that xwave is at version 2.0, xwave itself
still displays that it is version 0.6. Still, it does
seem to work. So not really a problem there.

First you configure and build your INSTALL kernel. Then you
	cd src/distrib/≤my_arch>/floppies
	make clean; make
This should get you a ramdisk.fs inside ./ramdisk and actually put this 
ramdisk inside the INSTALL kernel and make your boot floppies. Check 
the structure inside the src/distrib/≤my_arch>/floppies to see how the 
ramdisk filesystem is made.
