I'm tracking 4-STABLE (RELENG_4) on my machines. After the release of

The Makefile in ports/ftp/gftp has the option WITH_GTK2, which should of
course be unset if you want to compile with gtk12 (that seems to be the
default). Maybe you have some saved options in /var/db/ports/gftp/ ?
Then remove that file and try again.

I had the same problem. And even though it says you don't have to run it as
root first any longer, it did help. ;-)

It's a bug. Run it as root first.

I think a better solution would be to mount the user-writable partitions
(/home, /tmp) with option "noexec". That prevents users from having their own
executables, whether locally compiled or not.

Hi,
I have this simple question regarding the tcsh:
in /bin/sh (Bourne shell) I can assign a value to an environment variable for
just one command, like this:
VARIABLE=value
e.g. "DISPLAY=:0 xterm" or "CFLAGS=O2 make".
Can this be done with tcsh as well? The only thing I can think of is

You don't need any additional stuff, it all comes with FreeBSD. Either you

Btw, I wonder what sane sysadmin would base his choice between OS'es
upon their mascot. At least I wouldn't drop an excellent OS such as
FreeBSD just for the mascot.
For clarity: it refers to background server processes, not evil. The
penguin refers to nothing.
And if you really want BSD

I think it looks friendly, not evil at all. Moreover, it says "FreeBSD,
the power to serve". Sounds goo
Hi,
this is a fragment of my ipfw-config which should allow me to ping
others, but not allow others to ping me:

Indeed, other hosts can't ping me... UNLESS I am pinging them at the
same time! This is of course a result
dspam keeps its database in root-owned files in /usr/local/etc/dspam,
so you must run it as root or use suid.
I use spamprobe, a very similar spamfilter (also based on John Grahams
ideas in A plan for spam), but it stores its database under the users
home-directory, which will give you no proble
Hi,
using multiple harddisks can increase performance, since I/O can be done
in parallel. But what would be an optimal filesystem-layout on, say,
two disks of equal size? Swap should evidently be spread equally over
the different drives. As for the filesystems, say I'd have a large /usr
and /h

Hi,
i see some ambiguity in using maildirs through IMAP and directly through

The "canonical" directory for maildirs is ~/Maildir, where the inbox is

subdirectory of it. The IMAP-serve
