Rc.conf: loading keymap from path other than default

Hi,
I quickly noticed that the "us" keymap uses the right alt as AltGr (include "linux-with-alt-and-altgr"), which seems to be an "international" layout. What's the preferred way to change this?
I created a new map (poutine.map), which changes that line to "linux-with-two-alt-keys". Following a Wiki article[1], I put it in /usr/local/share/kbd/keymaps to follow best practices and to avoid its being overwritten during upgrades. So now my questions:
1. Will the system find the map there?
2. If not, how do I specify a path?
3. Is rc.conf only read at boot time, or is there a way to re-load it with the system running?
I'm only interested in the console for now.

The KEYMAP article does not describe
* The full list of paths used by rc.conf ("most keymaps can be found in...less common...keymaps can be found in...")
* Where these paths are set (source code? some other config file?)
* How to add a new path to that list, since my keymap is NOT located in either of the paths mentioned in the KEYMAP article.
I welcome being told to "RTFM" when the "M" addresses my question. In this case, it doesn't, which is why I posted.

Resolv.conf's nameserver on other than default port

Recently i've found out that it's not so easy to use port other than default (53) in DNS client specified in /etc/resolv.conf file, like
nameserver IP.OF.DNS.SERVER:20
where 20 is a number of the port.
Is it even possible?
Fast search returns it is not, in whole linux's world :-). Also not in Solaris, not in Mac, not in FreeBSD. But it is possible in OpenBSD.
I have been thinking - what? why? why such an easy thing (at the first sight) to implement isn't done?
It looks like i need some additional stuff like bind to make it right <sigh>
Or maybe i'm wrong here?
I would be very gratefull for any additional info on this topic

If I understand you correctly, you are going to set up a nameserver outside of your firewalled network (listening on a non-standard port), and you want to have your arch box be able use it from within the network?
This isn't a direct fix, but as a workaround, you can use pdnsd as a caching proxy, and it can be configured to query the remote server on whatever port you choose by adding
port = your_port_goes_here
in the server section of the pdnsd config file. Once you have it all set up, simply have your resolv.conf point to 127.0.0.1
Hope this helps

Forwarding proxy requests from ports other than 80

Hi,
Is there a way to forward requests from ports other than 80 to the proxy address? For example, trying to define a rule to forward the requests from port 8080 to proxy_ip...
Best regards,
Emre

Hi Emre,
Have you looked into using ipfilter port redirecting ?
It may depend on your configuration.
/etc/ipf/ipf.conf
pass in quick from any to any port = 8080 keep state
pass out quick from any port = 8080 to any keep state
/etc/ipf/ipnat.conf
rdr <Interface> <hostname or IP> port 8080 -> <hostname or IP> port 8080 tcp

My iTunes account is no longer showing my playlists or any of the music I have added from sources other than iTunes.

I discovered that iTunes is no longer showing any of my playlists or music I have added from sources other than iTunes. My iPod, which is a 4th Gen Classic, seems fine and has all of my playlists and music. My question is how do I upload my iPod to iTunes so that I don't lose anything? I have read a lot of posts about people having similar problems and most of them suggest restoring from an old saved file. I have two problems with this approach 1) I do not have a current back-up and 2) it does not seem to work for any of my non-Apple purcahsed music. Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?

I'd do a "deauthorize all" from a computer you have access to, and then reauthorise the computers you still have access to.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Is there a way to access 11i from outside other than Self service?

Is there a way to access 11i from outside other than Self service?
I could connect any application from inside the firewall (basically router) and can not access screens from outside. Eventhough port forwarding 80 allows us upto initial screen, it does not go further.
Any workaround/suggestions
Jiltin

Hi Jiltin,
If you can migrate your forms server into Forms Listener Servlet.This will allow you to use forms outside firewall provided atleast one port(assuming yours 80) is open.
Ref to the M.Link Note 201340.1 for how to setup forms listener servlet.

Denying access from hosts other than localhost

I would like to prohibit access to Directory Server from hosts other than the localhost:
I am doing this from Administration Console. On the server node I set the ACI:
(targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "deny_ip"; deny (all) ip!=dirservhost_ip or ip!=127.0.0.1; )
But the access is still allowed. What is wrong?

Activating phone bought from source other than Verizon

If I buy a phone from someplace other than Verizon, how do I go about activating it and using it.

First, before buying it, make sure it is a Verizon-branded phone. These are the only phones compatible with Verizon's network. Secondly, make sure to get the ESN from the seller and call Verizon Customer Service to make sure it is CLEAN. Third, after both of these check out, purchase it, and when you receive it, just dial *228 from it and select option 1 (make sure your current phone is OFF for this) Or you can go online to My Verizon and activate it there. If you are going from a non-smartphone to a smartphone, you will need to add the $29.99/month data plan, and vice versa.

Cannot make calls from phones other than my own?

I have a Skype To Go number for the unlimited US/Canada package. I cannot make calls from phones other than my own: "Due to technical fault..." What's the point of having Skype then?
Post transferred to create its own new thread (topic);
subject/title edited to differentiate from other posts.

That makes no sense at all. The phone doesn't know or care what kind of phone is calling it. There's something else causing this. Contact your carrier.

Use printer other than default? how to hard code it?

Is it possible to make application to use specific printer but other than default? may be hard code it into application code?
For example I know the name of print service(the PATH to configured printer) and I want my application to use THAT printer most of the time. how can make it so that my application uses one printer which is other than default..
printDialog is not a good solutionin in my case I think because user might have 15 printers configured on his machine! and I do not want him to scroll PrintServices combobox looking for needed printer... why not show only 2 or printers out of 15?
or in my case I think it is even better to hard code couple of configured printers in an application code so that I user does not get tired of working with printDialog window every time he needs to print. When my application is released to client it will be used especially for printing porposes of one particular document so he does not need to see margins and printer settings everytime.

Basically the print dialog should offer this function without you having to code it. I don't know on Windows but on my Mac you can select printers other than default and get the computer to remember them.

Creating dictionary project in other than default datasource

I want to create a dictionary project in other than default datasource . Every time I create a dictionary project and create archive and deploy it ...It creates tables in SAP default datasource MAXDB . I have created another datasource pointing to MSSQL in visual admin . I want dictionary project to be deployed to this datasource without making MSSQL as default datasource . Can anyone please let me know how to do this ?
Thanks in advance
Bhat

Hi Alka,
from your post, it is not entirely clear to me what you are atempting to do.
1) Do you need help with accessing tables in a non-default schema?
2) Do you want to determine all tables in the default schema?
If 1), please follow the hints given by Vladimir Pavlov.
If 2), currently, the method DatabaseMetaData.getTables() is unfortunately not supported in Open SQL/JDBC. We are currently preparing a new download of the NetWeaver Java EE 5 edition. In this version, the getTables() method will be supported.
Or do you just want to check for the existence of a specific database table in the default schema?
I hope this helps,
Best regards,
Adrian

What OS? Why are you trying to install i a different directory. No matter what directory you install in, quite a bit must be installed on the boot drive. If you are running out of hard drive space, it is time to get a new hard drive.

Import photos from source other than iphoto

Is there a way to import photos to imovie from a source other than iphoto or photo booth? I have a cd of pics that i'd like to use but I'd rather not import all the pics to iphoto if I don't have to.
thanks

Wow; I can drag the photos from the Finder directly into my project. I actually tried this, but I tried dragging them into the lower pane with all the source clips. That won't work, but if you drag the photos into the top pane where your edited work is it magically adds the photo(s). Thanks for the tip!

Can we purchase and download music from sites other than Apple?

Wife has a new iMac and wants to purchase music from a site other than my iTunes store account. She has a hefty remaining balance left over from her PC days. I logged onto that site this weekend and tried to download some music (we paid for it) and it did not download. We are very new to Mac and need some real guidance. Is it a set up thing? The music did download onto my PC laptop into zip files....any help???? Thanks

<Edited by Moderator> is a pirate Russian site and is providing tracks illegally according to the music industry. The record companies (from many countries, not just the US) have been trying to get that site and it's cousins and predecessors (this is just a retread of AllOfMP3.com) shut down for quite some time. So sorry, but we indeed cannot help you with this here.
