I am a little confused. I just see a sphere with horns on it that reminds me of the BSD daemon's head, only made to look less demonic. Is it supposed to be something else? No, that is what it's supposed to be. The sex toy issue is that you saw the sphere with horns AFTER you saw Beastie. So you had a frame of reference, and naturally assume it's Beastie's head. The problem is, think about people who have NEVER seen Beastie before seeing the sex toy logo for the first time. Since they have no frame of reference they can easily assume that it means anything at all. Such as the business end of a French tickler, which it kind of resembles. When those of us in the know call it a sex toy, we are making a little inside joke, as we are basically saying the logo design is terrible because it does not indicate to anyone looking at it what it is supposed to represent. The Linux penguin is no different - someone seeing a Penguin isn't going to know it has to do with an operating system, either. Many corporate logos also suffer from the same problem. The difference between the corporate logos and Linux and us, is that those organizations have the marketing muscle to take their rediculous logo designs and pound them into the public conciousness through endless advertising. See a blue oval? Most people think Ford Not because a blue oval has anything to do with cars. It's because Ford has dumped trillions of dollars in advertising over the years pounding that association into the public mind. The designer of the FreeBSD logo approached it from the usual corporate arrogance of we can create anything we want, then just pay money for the association. The only problem is that the FreeBSD project has no money to spend to create this association. As a result the logo completely fails in it's job. Arguably, there is also no public association between Beastie and the FreeBSD operating system either, so in the long run we aren't any worse off than we were.

Re: Upgrading Kernel on a Remote Server
I don't have much experience with this other than once I ran a server from home and remotely ssh'ed to it to do maintenance. One of the things I learned from that experience was that you can easily patch your services any time there is a new threat, all you have to do is patch your code, recompile, and restart service. If you are not sure it will ever come back up when you restart, you can leave it patched and restart it when you are more comfortable. When it comes to the kernel, don't upgrade it unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary because you have to reboot each time; unless of course, some genius out there has figured out a way to do it without a reboot.

This would be the first time I do not have physical access to a FreeBSD system. I'm looking for any hints/tricks/suggestions for managing and upgrading it safely (as in, not locking myself out or having boot errors). The host does not offer KVM/IP or serial port access. The host is installing 6.3-RELEASE. I'd like to upgrade to 7.0-RELEASE, as well as compile in some kernel options for various things. What's the best way to do this on a remote system, minimizing compiling a bad kernel and causing it not to boot? I wouldn't have access to single user mode or anything. Thanks for any suggestions/help/etc, ~Steve do you have control of the whole box? most places I know that have online hosting like that run you inside a jail as a VPS style system. to answer your original comments, I would say to contact their tech support department and see if you can coordinate with them to have it upgraded to 7.0. If they dont support it, then you are going to be on your own with the install and may have to have them reimage it if you get a bad install.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 219, Issue 6
The easiest way to deal with this is to disable IPv6 on your kernel. There is a good guide here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html. Simply comment out the 'options INET6' line from your config file. Also, you could give more information on what application is generating those logs. For example, what services are you running?

The log messages are from his DNS server; he uses it for resolving and some local stuff; the log entries are the result of queries from random machines being rejected; random machines are doing that since at least one of his parent nameservers is handing out the IPv6 address of his server against his wishes; eventually he'll realize this is actually the case; and maybe he'll be able to convince whomever runs the parent nameserver(s) to update the records for his zone.

You can use /var/log/messages to check for the existence of an external drive through a series of grep commands. Here is my log output when I insert/remove a USB drive: Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: umass0: SanDisk Corporation Cruzer Mini, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.10, addr 2 on uhub4 Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0781 product 0x5150 b us uhub4 Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: da0: SanDisk Cruzer Mini 0.1 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: da0: 122MB (250879 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1 22C) Jun 22 11:44:49 Christi kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1 is msdosfs/ .

Jun 22 11:44:56 Christi kernel: umass0: detached I'm sure you can come up with creative ways to write a script that checks for when the disk is detached.

I would like to make this as easy as possible for the local staff, so i'd like to check whether the drive is attached, if necessary mount it, copy over the backup and unmount it again, so that the local staff can swap the external disks when they're not used. Is there a canonical way to achieve what i want? I played with the idea of simply checking for /dev/da0s1d's existance, but that won't disappear on disconnect, so that would leave the is a possibility that although da0 is in /dev, it might not be connected.

Opera's javascript time is off
All, for some reason when javascript posts the current system time inside of Opera, it reports it as being off by one hour. For example, when I use gmail chat; the time is off by one hour. Any reason that could be causing this odd behaviour? I've looked around the Opera site and there is nothing mentioned there; it's as if the javascript was using the wrong time zone.
