-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 | Hi, | Sorry for the constant barrage of stupid questions, but | I'm finally | starting to get into this stuff although I am still a total newbie :) | Thanks for the support so far! It really helps! | | When I use whereis to find a file this always happens: | | /whereis of | Warning: couldn't stat file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/man! | of: | | This happens as root or as a user, what does it mean? Means the file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/man that the CATMAN tries to access is no there. Need to find what says it's supposed to be there and change it :) | | | And if I am in a user account and I try to "su" or "su root" | this happens: | | /home/btrzynadlowski%su | su: you are not in the correct group to su root | | What is the "correct group" then? from "man su": Only users who are a member of group 0 (normally ``wheel'') can su to ``root''. If group 0 is missing or empty, any user can su to ``root''. | | And it always says I have new mail. When I go into mail I | find 17 messages | from various dates and times and they're subject and bodies | are the same. | Here is the subject: | | Nvi saved file .cshrc | | The system places all of these in my mailbox, but why? because you're root :) do "rm /var/mail/root" and you cleaned out your mail box :) | | And last but not least... how come I can mount my cd9660 | cdrom in 4 ways: | | mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom | mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom | mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom | mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom | | Why are wcd0a, wcd0c, acd0a, and acd0c all the same? Just out of curiosity, why is that a problem? In any event, the reason you can do that is because the IDE CDROM you have is technically a device on the wd0 controller, so it's there. It is, in my understanding, a "atapi CD" device - hence acd0a device. the "c" variation are just different slices - for a CD, I do not think that makes a diff (then again, I could be WAY off, like I usually am) :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.0.2i iQA/AwUBN09DklR8Yh25VFLEEQKYdwCgtJtM78f+hlg7jVSRiQABE8J4wGIAoNiJ 8jTnEQIWknDWPxbbN8U/VrQ2 =v956 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
