When compiling daemontools (or any other djb programs) you may end up getting some kind of error regarding errno.h or ERRNO.
While there are patches out there for each program (djbdns, qmail, daemontools, etc), there is an even simpler way.
Look for a file called conf-cc in the source distribution, edit it with your favorite text editor and add -include /usr/include/errno.h to the end of the line.
You should end up with something like this:
gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h

I use ultravnc under Wine to provide remote help desk support to clients. (None of the Mac VNC clients I know of support proxy/repeater environments.)
Well the other day I went to support a user and all I got was gibberish from my keystrokes, after a bit of embarrassing “can you type XXXX and hit enter” type stuff, I disconnected and started trying to figure out if it was me or the end user. After a couple short tests on other remote computers, it became obvious there was something seriously wrong with my keymap. Just the XWindows one too, my keyboard worked fine outside of XWindows.
A couple google queries later and I had the answer.
Short Version
- Close XWindows
- Delete the directory at /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb
Done and done.

Welcome to our new blog. As part of the launch of the new web site along with many new services (including Zimbra which I’m really excited about, but we’ll get to that later) we’ve added a blog. While I been blogging for a bit over at my personal blog, I believe this is John’s first foray into the blogosphere. He’ll be joining us soon, with his own take on technology and entrepreneurship. In the meantime I’ll be blogging about various techie subjects and will be slowly moving over my more technical blog entries to this site.
Cheers
