Hi Giorgos,
I understand your point & why MS have autorun on by default. Because a lot of
newbies to Windows don't even know what/where setup.exe is to start a program.
So to make it easier to install Office after Windows has been installed, AR is
on by default. I agree with you though, autorun(NOT automount) IS a security
risk & I have have it disabled.

I edited rc.conf & added the line: amd_enable="YES"
However, my devices(Floppy & CDROM) are not automounting after logging in or
starting X ???
In the process view of BSD, I have amd as waiting
Trying to understand man amd isn't helping. Any ideas ???
I have some other problems as well:
1) Trying to search for a file I get the error:
127# locate mysql
locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database
2) I deleted the installed package xfce4, then added it again but xfce4 still
won't start. Is the warnings(about versions) given when I add the
package(below) a cause of why it won't start ???
127# pkg_add xfce4-wm-4.0.5.tgz
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'jpeg-6b_3', but
'jpeg-6b_2' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'python-2.3.4', but
'python-2.3.3_5' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'png-1.2.5_5', but
'png-1.2.5_3' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'glib-2.4.2', but
'glib-2.4.0' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'shared-mime-info-0.14_3',
but 'shared-mime-info-0.14_2' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'pango-1.4.0_1', but
'pango-1.4.0' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'gtk-2.4.3_1', but
'gtk-2.4.0' is installed
pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'startup-notification-0.7',
but 'startup-notification-0.6' is installed
3)I am trying to install Apachetoolbox-1.5.70(it may well be a BigApache for
BSD :)) - but I get the errors "Command not found" trying to run it:
127# pwd
/usr/ports/distfiles/Apachetoolbox-1.5.70
127# ls
CHANGE MIRROR bin etc src
INSTALL README contrib install.sh
127# ./install. sh
./install.: Command not found.
127# ./install sh
./install: Command not found.
127# ./install
./install: Command not found.
then I tried using bash after reading:
Install
=-=-=-=
1) as root run ./install.sh
******************************************************************************
Solaris/BSD users, the script interpreter of install.sh is BASH (/bin/bash).
Bash should be used, YMMV if you change it to /bin/sh.
******************************************************************************
127# bash
bash-2.05# pwd
/usr/ports/distfiles/Apachetoolbox-1.5.70
bash-2.05# ls
CHANGE MIRROR bin etc src
INSTALL README contrib install.sh
bash-2.05# ./install
bash: ./install: No such file or directory
bash-2.05# ./install.sh
bash: ./install.sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
bash-2.05# ./install
bash: ./install: No such file or directory
Any ideas to these 3 last problems ???
Kind Regards,
DK
