Dear Sirs,
I just wanted to ask you since FreeBSD 6.2 is going to be
released, sooner or later I will be forced to upgrade my
system from 6.1 to 6.2.
Well my question goes like this: what is the best way for me
to do it? By downloading the ISO images or by doing it with
cvsup stable-supfile?
What now?
Looks like you forgot to update your ports collection. Easiest way to update
them:
# portsnap fetch extract
Or you can use cvsup following the handbook (portsnap is also documented
there):

Good question; not sure about that one, since the BIOS may or may not
count the EIDE channels as 0 and 1, and the SATA as 2 and 3. Needless to
say, this little numbering scheme with grub has become confusing, esp
with the introduction of new technology (SATA) .. Not sure how

Hi all,
I'm simply trying to set ACLs on a few directories but don't see an option
to recursively apply this to the whole directory's contents. Does applying
the ACL to a directory inherently apply it to all other files and folders
within the directory? I've browsed the man page and handbook but
Hmm, I don't see a recursive option either.
You should be able to set ACL on files in a direcotry with `setfacl -m
blah *`, and pipe that through 'find -type:d` and xargs to do an
entire directory tree.
I got it with this on my server for /etc:
