GSSAPI support in Cyrus SASL 2.x broken on FreeBSD
Hey everybody, Whenever I try to build Cyrus SASL (from ports) with GSSAPI enabled, autoconf returns the following errors. I don't know whether these are due to problems with FreeBSD, with the port, or with the upstream package. Would someone point me in the right direction? configure:10594: checking for res... 28 Apr 2010 16:18

Device permissions
Well, let's give it another try. Suppose I want to explicitly give a non-root user permission to use the Webcam, in devfs.conf.

Assuming FreeBSD 7.3 or 8.0 Release and the included X.org, and a simple entry level NVidia PCI-E display card with DisplayPort + one of the binary NVidia drivers for FreeBSD. Would the DisplayPort work, say with ... 7 Apr 2010 14:37
