- First, Thanks for writting 386bsd it's a great assest to us.
-
- 1. I'm having some problems with arp, w, and uptime.
- When I run them they say bad namelist, or can't get namelist.
-
- Looking at the sources it appears that w, uptime, and arp
- are looking for labels that I don't have in my kernel.
- Is this the way it's supposed to be? Or why were they programs
- put in with the system(just to make it complet?)
-
- 2. How do I get the shell to reqonize the stop(control-C) and
- suspend(control-Z) character? For example if I type make and
- decide I want to stop it, i have to login someplace else
- and kill the process. Or hasn't this been added yet?
-
- 3. I fixed a couple of man problems.
-
- The manual page for magic and file all have two dots
- before the commands, eg. "..SH" it should be ".SH"
- just delete one of the double dots in the whole file and then
- it will work.
-
- The Makefile in /usr/othersrc/share/man/Makefile creates the whatis.db.
- The problem is that it doesn't strip the backspaces in the
- title and apropos can't handle that. So add a "col -b" to strip
- those.
-
- exerpt from the makefile.
-
- makedb:
- for file in `find /usr/share/man -type f -name '*.0' -print`; do \
- sed -n -f /usr/share/man/makewhatis.sed $$file; \
- done | col -b | sort -u > whatis.db
- install -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m 444 whatis.db \
- ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/man
