"inappropriate ioctl for device" is odd. Without seeing your actual code, we're only guessing what's going wrong, but if I had to guess -- it may not actually succeed in opening the device, doesn't check whether it did, and ends up doing ioctl() on FD 0 or somesuch. Which for a daemon probably ends up being /dev/null.

Dear all,
I typed in init 1 on my redhat box as root and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel):
1 Single-User Mode Does not configure network interfaces, start daemons, or allow non-root logins
So now I can't connect back to it. How do I change the init back to 3?... (8 Replies)

What is the difference between 'init s' and 'init 1'.
I know that both will work to change the current run level to single user mode.
Is there any difference in those two commands? (5 Replies)

Hi,
I am experiencing a weird thing on my SUNFIRE machine with Solaris 9 OS.
When I do init 0 to shutdown the machine to go to ok prompt, what it did was shutdown and reboot like an init 6 command do. I did check the corresponding rc scripts that were involved with init 0 and compared with rc... (2 Replies)

SPI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SPI(4)
NAME
spi -- introduction to machine-independent SPI bus support and drivers
SYNOPSIS
spi* at mainbus?
Other attachments are machine-dependent and will depend on the bus topology of your system. See intro(4) for your system for more informa-
tion.
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD includes a machine dependent SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus subsystem, and several different machine-independent SPI device
drivers.
Your system may support additional machine-dependent SPI devices. Consult your system's intro(4) for additional information.
SPI is a 4-wire synchronous full-duplex serial bus. Some systems provide support for Microwire, which is Philips' name for a strict subset
of SPI, with more rigidly defined signaling. Therefore, Microwire devices are also supported by the SPI framework.
Note that when referencing SPI devices in a config(1) file, the 'slave' must be provided, as SPI lacks any way to automatically probe
devices.
HARDWARE
NetBSD includes the following machine-independent SPI drivers
m25p STMicroelectronics M25P family of NOR flash devices.
tm121temp Texas Instruments TMP121 temperature sensor.
SEE ALSO
m25p(4), tm121temp(4)
HISTORY
The machine-independent SPI framework was written by Garrett D'Amore for the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network Project (CUWiN), and
appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
