An alternative always exists. It depends on how far you want to go with alternatives. Sure, you could keep a Windows box around. You could not do the task. Those too are alternatives. But if you are looking to do certain tasks on a BSD desktop, I will say that in many cases there is no alternative, at least no alternative that is workable. One example: how do you suggest that complex forms in PDF format are filled out and saved on a FreeBSD system? PDF doesn't belong in complex forms that are filled out online. I use PDF at my job and we use it for one use only - contracts. A contract must be in paper with a human's signature on it to have any validity whatsoever in a court of law, despite what you may read otherwise. The PDF forms we send out are NOT intended to be filled out and printed, they are designed to be printed only, then the printout filled out and signed by hand. And we have alternative formats available (such as word doc) for those who don't have Acrobat loaded. I'd send these out in .png format if I figured the user could print them off without botching the printout. Or in PostScript to be fed directly to the printer. Every other type of form we deal with that doesn't have to stand up to legal scrutiny (ie: needs a siggy) we have long ago migrated to online webforms. Look at Macintosh software sometime, the UI for most apps is little different than what it was under System 7 except more colorful and glitzy. Most Mac users don't even know UNIX is involved with their OS. The Mac isn't a gateway to UNIX by any means. Apple made it easy for Mac users to continue to be stone stupid, and the Mac users by and large chose to stay stone stupid. Apple knows it's customer base that's for sure. I find this attitude to be very distressing, but remarkably common. Sure, users are not as informed as they might be, and they can do stupid things. But they use the computer as a tool to do certain tasks, and they shouldn't have to know about how the computer works to accomplish those tasks. Yah yah yah. I hear the same thing about cars - we shouldn't need to know how a car works to drive it Sure - sounds great. Let's put a bunch of drivers on the road that don't understand bullcrap about automobile suspensions and how they work then watch them kill themselves the first time it snows and freezes up. Oh I forgot, that's what we already have. Great attitude! My own work is in biological physical chemistry -- that's what pays the bills. Should I require my IT people to be conversant with that area, and understand the experiments that we do? Yes. There's a big difference between being 'conversant' in a field and being 'qualified' in a field. I would expect the IT people that are servicing an accounting company to have a basic idea of accounting, and the IT people supporting a food company to have a basic understanding of how the food industry works. Otherwise how can they possibly be effective at providing applications to the users that the users need? You may as a car driver not be qualified to take apart the front suspension of a vehicle and repair it. You may not even be qualified to diagnose something as simple as a wheel shimmy caused by a loose tie rod. You might not know the difference between a tie rod and a tied shoe. But you don't need any of that to understand some basic things like if the tire isn't straight up and down that it's not gripping the road well enough, (ie: front end misalignment) and that if the vehicle has a lift kit on it and is jacked up into God's ass that it's probably a lot easier to roll it over (ie: center of gravity) and that a locked up tire skidding has less traction than a turning tire that's braking (ie: Antilock Braking Systems) Unless you understand the basics of how the suspension works, your a hazard to yourself and other drivers when your on the road. And that is true even if it's broad daylight sunny weather. Indeed, the tools I am developing are designed so that the user does not have to know all of the details about how they work. They put stuff in, and get useful information out. If they don't know how these tools work then how do they know if the tool is working properly? If I had to hire Maxwell's demons to do the work, the users wouldn't care. It is my job to do the hard work and tailor it to their needs. And as the tool user it's their job to have enough understanding of what your tools are supposed to be spitting out as to recognize when you screw it up and your tools give out bogus results. It's like teaching mathematics in school. You can teach the kids to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by hand, so they understand what is going on, or you

Newer MS-Dos (or other doses) support FAT32.

I'm trying to set up a 4.11 STABLE machine to act as a mail host for sevral virtual domains. I've got i moslty working, but I'm still strugling with SPF. I _think_ the problem is that the messages coming from a user in a virtual domain still contain a From header with the real name of the machine. For example, using mutt I sent a message abck to myself on this box, It contains the following: From: stan [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the virtual domain, and ahs an SPF record. But it _also_ has this header: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 18 11:03:14 2005 Which is the machine _real_ name.

Are you trying to stream files from your computer to the Icecast server, or do you mean live audio from a soundcard input? If you want to stream files, then Ices should work pretty good. If you want to stream live from the soundcard input, then I would try a program called MuSE.

Re: IE in FreeBSD?

PDF doesn't belong in complex forms that are filled out online. I use
PDF at my job and we use it for one use only - contracts. A contract
must be in paper with a human's signature on it to have any validity
whatsoever in a court of law, despite what you may read otherwise.
In Germany, electronic signatures conforming to the conditions in
§17 SiG (signature law) and §15 Annex 1 SigV (signature decree)
are as valid as a hard signature and can (for example) be used for
communication with government departments.
The world doesn't end on US borders.
The Mac isn't
a gateway to UNIX by any means. Apple made it easy for Mac users to
continue to be stone stupid, and the Mac users by and large chose to
stay stone stupid. Apple knows it's customer base that's for sure.
*Shrug*. I'm a CS + Math student and I've used FreeBSD since 3.3
(Linux before). I don't think I'm stone stupid. Yet I happen to
like my Powerbook.
I find this attitude to be very distressing, but remarkably common.
Yup.
Sure, users are not as informed as they might be, and they can do stupid
things. But they use the computer as a tool to do certain tasks, and
they shouldn't have to know about how the computer works to accomplish
those tasks.
Yah yah yah. I hear the same thing about cars - we shouldn't need to
know how a car works to drive it Sure - sounds great.
Cars != computers. With cars, failure to understand their basic
features is likely to get people killed. I don't see that kind
of risk with ordinary PCs. The analogy is thus pointless.
You could just as well demand that anyone ever using mathematics
knows the entire theory behind it. Next time you assume that
1*(1 + 1) = 2 (in |R), please take a brief moment to remind
yourself that the result is guaranteed to exist solely because |R
is a field and thus both (|R, +) and (|R, *) form abelean groups,
i.e. |R is closed under both addition and multiplication.
Please remember as well the proof that 1 is uniquely identified,
2 defined as 1+1 and thus 2 is uniquely identified as well.
Don't forget that 1 is also the neutral element of (|R, *)
and thus you can safely assume that 1*(1+1) = (1+1).
And sure as hell hope you never need \pi, because that's a
rather unpleasant series, even using the simple Leibniz
formula.
It's like teaching mathematics in school. You can teach the kids to do
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by hand, so they
understand what is going on,
No, they don't. Mathematics in school is nothing but a desktop
for real mathematics. With just school mathematics, you don't
understand the slightest thing of what's going on, but you've
learned how to use it. The above example is *very* basic (this
is the stuff you usually learn at the very beginning of your
first math-lecture at a university), but you won't learn any
of that in school. At least not around here.
A more advanced example are integrals. You learn how to integrate,
but you haven't got the slightest clue an integral is really defined
as (from the top of my head)
\int f := \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} f_k
where each f_k is a step function, i.e. an element of the
vector space \mathcal{F}_{ST}(|R,|R) spanned by the elementary
functions g_i. That is:
f_k := \sum_{i=1}^{k} \lamda_i g_i
with
g_i(x) := \begin{cases}1 x \in [a,b[ \\ 0 otherwise\end{cases}
There's a *lot* of theory behind those few lines and believe me,
it ain't pretty or simple. However, there's no reason anyone
but a mathematician should care about this.
That's why the desktop school mathematics exists. So people
who aren't interested in mathematics won't have to deal with
its intricacies.
I think this is a better analogy than yours, because in both cases
i) the matters involved are widely considered complicated.
ii) the users have to deal with virtual quantities, i.e. they
can't touch them. This tends to be a problem for many people.
iii) the risks involved are pretty much the same.
None of this applies to cars.
It seems that you are arguing the BSDs (Free, Net, Open and so on)
should be used only for servers (and perhaps a few other applications
like embedded systems), and to leave the desktop to the Mac and Windows.
No, you are missing the point totally. I'm arguing that the so-called
desktop isn't important.
For you. There's other needs than yours and they're of no less
importance.
The desktop needs to serve as a portal to the real applications
and processing, which is centralized. It is a means to an end,
not an end itself. The servers in the center that are doing the
Really Important Work are of course all FreeBSD.
This doesn't exactly make sense for home PCs. I'll certainly not
stick another machine in my single room appartment so I have a
server.

RE: IE in FreeBSD?
One example: how do you suggest that complex forms in PDF format are filled out and saved on a FreeBSD system? PDF doesn't belong in complex forms that are filled out online. I didn't say these were filled on on line -- that can be done just fine with OSS or the free Adobe Reader products. What I was talking about was downloading PDF forms, filling them out locally, and saving them. Right now OSS and other free products can fill out forms and have them printed -- they cannot be saved. When the forms are 45 pages or more, treating the computer as a simple typewriter is just silly. You need to be able to go back and edit them. I know of no way to do that with anything other than a proprietary product, such as Acrobat. I have that running under Wine on BSD. I use PDF at my job and we use it for one use only - contracts. A contract must be in paper with a human's signature on it to have any validity whatsoever in a court of law, despite what you may read otherwise. The PDF forms we send out are NOT intended to be filled out and printed, they are designed to be printed only, then the printout filled out and signed by hand. And we have alternative formats available (such as word doc) for those who don't have Acrobat loaded. I'd send these out in .png format if I figured the user could print them off without botching the printout. Or in PostScript to be fed directly to the printer. Every other type of form we deal with that doesn't have to stand up to legal scrutiny (ie: needs a siggy) we have long ago migrated to online webforms. That's fine: the documents I'm describing are downloaded, completed locally, signed, copied, and submitted (an original and six to eight copies). That your company does it differently is wonderful. I don't have a choice in this matter, if I wish to do business with this concern. And I do -- there are $24 billion in proposals that are funded annually that I would like to take part in. In many ways, this sums up the entire disagreement: I'm saying I have a need that I have to deal with. You are saying I shouldn't have that need if they did it properly. In this case, they don't. So I need to deal with it, and some Windows applications work just fine. I'd just like to run them on the computer where I do the majority of my work. No, you are missing the point totally. I'm arguing that the so-called desktop isn't important. The desktop needs to serve as a portal to the real applications and processing, which is centralized. It is a means to an end, not an end itself. The servers in the center that are doing the Really Important Work are of course all FreeBSD. If Microsoft wants to spend it's life writing goopy gimpy winders that runs on the latest Far East dreck, more power to them as long as they put a decent networking stack in the thing so that my xterms don't get disconnected all the time. So here we are at the crux of it, and I haven't missed that point at all. As I said, I have no issue with a server-client architecture, and I'll extend that all the way to having a mainframe and terminals. For many situations, it is a better or at least a reasonable way to go. If the only issue is how much local power or intelligence remains, that's fine. I do think that there will remain a lot processing that is done locally, like the web browsing that started this whole thread off, particularly for smaller concerns such as mine. For smaller companies having desktops works well enough, and is probably a better use of resources. It is in my case, where the needs are rather diverse and complex. One example: an electronic laboratory notebook that complies with FDA tracability and data integrity requirements. You see this is a perfect example once again. Why do you need traceability and data integrity on a notebook? Because there's data there!! Move the data to a central location and the notebook becomes a dumb window with no data on it, and there's no need to pay attention to the notebook. A laboratory notebook is a term of art that describes the legal documentation of laboratory work which is ultimately used for patent prosecution and FDA approvals, among others. An electronic laboratory notebook is simply its electronic version, and there are companies who have tailored products to fulfill patenting and FDA requirements. These are specialized databases where access and modification rights (among other things) are handled carefully, and yes, they are all server-client based, though the client end does process a lot of data from diverse sources (like LIMs-- laboratory information management systems) before it is approved and entered to the central database. Nowhere did I say anything about a notebook computer. I was pointing out the need for a certain kind of software that is available for Windows that will not be filled by the OSS community. Whether the application will be ported by an ISV I have no way of

Changing Console Video Modes
Users, This is my first time on this list so I hope I am posting in the right place. I have been a Linux user for some time and I am trying out FreeBSD as some people recommended it. In my previous Mandrake (now Mandriva) Linux system, I could pass a kernel parameter in the LILO configuration file to set the console video mode (like vga=xxx). I ran it at 1024x768 and sometimes 1280x1024 (depending on the computer) to allow more text on the console. I am trying to do the same for my FreeBSD system. A quick Google search brought up this tutorial: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/. But, I'm not sure it does what I want. It takes parameters in terms of character-cell dimensions and not pixel dimensions. My question is, how do you tell the kernel to use 1024x768 as the video mode without having to deal with fonts? Is there an easy way to do it, or am I crazy to even ask? Oh, and one more thing, in Linux, the console is colorful. For example, if you type ls, directories are blue, executables are green, symlinks are teal etc. Is there a way to make the console (or at least ls) colorful in FreeBSD?

Setting up routes correctly for FBSD box to access WAN
Hello, I am currently trying to use a network bridge via my Mac for my FreeBSD machine and Windows machine to access the outside world because I have not purchased a wireless PCI card for my FreeBSD box and the only means to connect is via wireless. So my network topology looks like this: | FBSD | - | Mac | - | Outside world | What I want to do is setup the routes correctly such that all packets are forwarded from the Mac to the FreeBSD machine, and vice versa. I got this working last night but I fubared my routing tables and had to restart my machine, such that I thought I failed. So my question is, how do I properly set the value for gateway for the FBSD machine or use the route command to create a static route for all IP values not 192.168.1.0/20?

But I seem to rememeber that there was an issue about the space of the harddrive. Some kind of limit I don't remember. How large can a ms-dos partition be?

The BIOS would only see it as 8GB It didn't understand the existing 10GB bootable Win98 partition/OS on it. -- Dave When IDE drives were first introduced, they stored information in CMOS as to their size. Sectors were always 512 bytes in size, and they were limited to 1024 cylinders, 255 heads and 63 sectors. Multiplying this out, you get about 504Mb (some manufacturers claimed 528Mb, because they were counting a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes instead of the programming standard of 1,048,576 bytes). To break this barrier, Logical Block Addressing (LBA) was instituted about 1994. Some refer to this as int13 extensions, because it translated cylinder, head and sector (CHS) values to 28 bit values. This translated value was then used to map the location on the hard disk. MS DOS and Windows 3.1 used FAT16 architecture, which was unable to address a partition larger than 2Gb (2047Mb). Windows 95 was originally released with this limitation also. Since there are exactly 4 primary partitions on any hard disk, this limited the size of the hard disk to 8Gb (some called this the 8.4Gb barrier). About 1998, Windows 95(B) and later changed to a FAT32 architecture. In theory, this should be able to address 2 Terabytes, but BIOS limitations with int13 limited this to 8.4Gb per partition. This created a limitation of about 32Gb (some manufacturers refer to this as a 37Gb limit). For the most part, however, Windows 95(B), Windows 98 and Windows Me could not efficiently use even 32Gb, since the minimum space allocated for a file was also increased, and the time to calculate the free space at startup and retrieval slowed with increasing size. Windows 2000 claimed to be built on Windows NT, but it recognized FAT32 as well as NTFS (Windows NT4.0 did not recognize FAT partitions). As a result, it was easy to set up Windows 2000 with really sluggish behavior (thus the phrase 'Windoze'). BIOS programmers then applied LBA technology to newer drives, and drives larger than 32Gb were now available for Windows. This adaptation allowed drives as large as 128Gb to be used (137Gb barrier). However, a limitation of FAT32 prevented a single file from being larger than 4Gb. Starting with Windows NT, and the default in Windows XP is the NTFS file system; which addresses some of these limits. These use a 32 bit architecture, which places the limits in the 2 Terabyte range. Other limitations prevent this from being realized, however. To answer the question originally placed: Early versions of MSDOS cannot utilize a drive larger than 2Gb (4 partitions of 504Mb). MSDOS 5 and 6 could handle drives up to 8.4Gb (4 partitions of 2047Mb). Old machines that only run MSDOS usually have a BIOS limitation hard wired, but using LBA helps if available. Many old computers with these limitations will not recognize a drive larger than 8.4Gb at all. Generally, if the computer relies on int13 extensions, a drive larger than 8.4Gb will not be detected during powerup, and 'no bootable drive present' is reported. This, of course, assumes you are using an IDE drive, not one of the other variants that MSDOS was notorious for (like ESDI,MFM or RLL). Using a SCSI controller allowed larger drives to be used, but still FAT16 couldn't address larger partitions. The question to ask you is: WHY would you want to use MSDOS?? FreeBSD 4.11 has minimum hardware requirements that rival most DOS systems, and its more stable, more robust, and more powerful. WHY perpetuate the arcane in the new generation?

Per KB Article 118335 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q118335/ Microsoft MS-DOS versions 4.0 and later allow FDISK to partition hard disks up to 4 gigabytes (GB) in size. However, the MS-DOS file allocation table (FAT) file system can support only 2 GB per partition. Because of this fact, a hard disk between 2 and 4 GB in size must be broken down into multiple partitions, each of which does not exceed 2 GB. FAT file system is limited to 65,525 clusters. The size of a cluster must be a power of 2 and less than 65,536 bytes--this results in a maximum cluster size of 32,768 bytes (32K). Multiplying the maximum number of clusters (65,525) by the maximum cluster size (32,768) equals 2 GB. Note that the hard disk drive must be supported by the computer's ROM BIOS APIs, which have a 1024-cylinder limitation, in order for FDISK to partition the hard disk.

laptop question...
I'm Curious, Why did you select this laptop over other, more common brands (HP, Sony, Toshiba, etc)? Prices are similar. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=32 My vote is to abandon Windows XP, and, for that matter, MS office. OpenOffice is really becoming a formidable contender, and its price is right. Depending on which VBA you mean (is this the Visual Basic purchased separately, or the Visual Basic for Applications that came packaged with Office, a different animal), there are interpreters for Basic available for *nix environments; but more powerful programming languages are more common. People often originally learned Basic as a simple way to get a specific task done, but MS has lost this concept, rolling their programming language into an all-encompassing beast of a package they call .NET. Now, to get even a simple computational result, you have to perform all this overhead. *nix has many compilers that remain simple to use. MS really shot themselves in the foot with that one, didn't they? If you feel you must be on the bleeding edge, then be sure to avoid Windows XP home. It doesn't have a full complement of networking components. You may not need it today, but someday you might. The hardware you spec'd should run freeBSD fine. Check on an option to purchase the computer without an OS, sometimes this is cheaper. Be wary of win-modems (soft modems) and more recently, win-printers (soft printers). These depend on part of the firmware being available in the OS, which means they only work with recent versions of Windows. Many Win-modems have been ported to Linux, notably the ones based on the Lucent chipset. Win-printers haven't been so fortunate. You can usually recognize these from the specs, since they don't list support for PCL, postscript, or other printer language in their specs. These are not wise purchases. Harold.

FreeBSD not booting after RAID array rebuild
Hello- I am working on getting a box running with a NetRAID 3 (D4943) card. I have had a few issues so far, so I am hoping that I can work through this one as well. Ok, the setup is this, I have the card(D4943), Biostar M7VIG 400 mobo, (4) WD 9.15GB 10k U2W LVD SCSI drives, three of which are in RAID 5 and the last being a hotspare set to auto rebuild. The OS is installed(freebsd 5.4) and running on the array. At first I had trouble getting the card to boot, but I had to set the option to standard MBR in the install as opposed to none, which I am used to using for PC hardware. The box boots fine, but the problem comes in when a drive is failed. I failed a drive on purpose to make sure that this card is gonna work and how I was going to deal with a failed drive. What I did to test was shut the box down and unplug one of the drives from the RAID5 volume. I booted the box back up and the alarm started going off and the HS drive light went on telling me that is was rebuilding...I also checked in the RAID card utility and it also said the drive was rebuilding. I could not get the computer to boot into the OS when the card was rebuilding. I was under the impression that I would have a accessible system, just in a degraded performance mode. When the drive was done rebuilding and the volume back to optimum(shown in Raid Utility), I booted the system and everything looks good until the OS starts to boot. When the dash starts to spin the box reboots itself. This is at least telling me that something is accessed in the array, but something is making it reboot. I did another test on a running box at a login prompt. A drive in array unplugged and then the alarm goes off and hotspare starts t rebuild. Another problem is that I cannot log in. I enter user/passwd and hear drive activity when I press enter, but no login. I just keeps giving me a login prompt until an error pops up saying that getty is being run to fast and is going to sleep for 30s. After rebuild still not boot. If anyone has any idea what is happening here, I would love to hear as I am spending mucho time on this already and would like to at least know what I can or cannot do to fix this.

Re: Regarding packages and ports, up to dateness
Thank you for your help answering these questions regarding these issues. Is it necessary to keep ports collection up to date in order to use portupgrade to get the latest packages? Also, what determiines where portupgrade will download packages from, and what whether it will download from STABLE or RELEASE, etc. I see nothing about this in its documentation. Can I just set sysinstall to use STABLE and download new packages from within sysinstall? As well when I try to run cvsup, it complains Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?. Of course I do not have a valid hostname, I am behind a firewall with a private IP. I dont know why it assumes everyone has a valid hostname. This makes cvsup quite diffcult to use for me. Also, incompatabilities between programs and libraries are a concern. Are programs always linked to specific version of a library, is there any concern that if I upgrade a program and it installs a new version of a library, another program which previously used an older version of the library will end up using the new version and causing some sort of incompatability (they would call this DLL-hell on Windows I believe). Thank you for your assistance on these matters. --- Bob Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 9/17/05, Milscvaer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [...] However, there is room for improvement. One of the major issues I have is with the out of date binary packages available for the latest stable release (5.4). The packages distributed with the release are current at the time of the release. The package build system maintains up-to-date packages for most of the ports, so you can update to newer packages if you wish. Yes, I know that there are much more up to data packages in Ports, I know many people just love spending hours of time compiling and recompiling ports over and over agian every time they want a new version of software X, but many of us have better ways to spend our time and computer resources. Many of us do not have fast enough computers to make this possible (it would take a week). Please, please, please offer up to date packages compiled from the latest version of its port for the latest stable release of FreeBSD. Your terminology is confusing packages and ports. Packages are pre-compiled binaries, while ports are (usually but not always) source distributions that are compiled on your system. For most ports, you can install the corresponding package rather than the port if that's what you wish to do. There are several methods of doing so, the most basic method is to use the pkg_add command. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html for more details and for instructions. When you get to the page about installing a package (4.4.1) note the comment about the PACKAGESITE variable: if you install a FreeBSD RELEASE, then by default PACKAGESITE is set to install the packages that were built at the time of the RELEASE. If you want more recent packages, you either need to update your RELEASE version of FreeBSD to a corresponding (more recent) STABLE version, or you need to change the PACKAGESITE variable to fetch the STABLE packages rather than the RELEASE packages. It is done this way so that packages installed in a RELEASE will be reasonably sure to work properly. When you install newer packages into an older system, sometimes the older libraries on the system don't work correctly with the newer package (or other things don't work right). If you use a tool such as portupgrade to manage your packages, it can automatically update required libraries, etc. so this is usually not a problem. Portupgrade itself is in the ports system, and can itself be installed as a package if you wish. Another similar tool is portmanager. Also, stable and release should not be used together to describe a FreeBSD version. STABLE describes the latest version of the production FreeBSD system, and is updated pretty much continuously. A RELEASE is a snapshot of the STABLE version on a particular date. The RELEASE version gets extra testing and is distributed as a complete distribution on CDROMs, ISO images, etc. So the correct terminology is to call a version of FreeBSD either STABLE or RELEASE, but not both (it could also be CURRENT, which essentially means it is an experimental version). Perhaps you can set up a system to automatically rebuild a binary package from its port when that specific port as been upgraded to a new version and put it up on the FTP sites. This would only require a particular package to have to be rebuilt when its port has been updated to a new version. This would save a lot of people a lot of time. Please. This is already done. At one time, new packages were built from the ports every day. I think that the number of ports has gotten so great that new

Re: gmake/make dependency problem
I could try and post fragments, but I'd probably mess it up. The full tarball is at: http://ntp.isc.org/~stenn/ntp-4.2.0b.tar.gz and I to duplicate the problem I recommend: % tar xzf ... % cd ntp-4.2.0b % mkdir A.foo % cd A.foo % ../configure % make and it will soon die in ntpd/, at which point: % cd ntpd % make -n ntpd-opts.c should show it trying to run autogen to produce ../../ntpd/ntpd-opts.c (which exists and should have proper timestamps with respect to its dependencies), and: % gmake ntpd-opts.c should say the target is up-to-date. If you want me to try and help debug this another way I would be happy to do so. Thanks a bunch...

Re: Install GRUB for FreeBSD
Micah [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In order for grub to work as a menu, it requires a stage 2 loader that resides somewhere on your hardrive outside of the MBR. It's my understanding that grub was too big to fit just in the MBR and that necessitated this arrangement. If you don't mind manually typing in Yeah, but I definitely remember that Grub installs stuff on other sectors of the first track, probably staring with the second sector. So it should be able to store the menu stuff there too, but I don't know if it actual can (I also had it using the menu file in /boot/boot/grub, I think it was for some odd reason). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Intranet/Internet Gateway - Intranet requests to Internet ip time out
Hi, I've posted here about getting a gateway working and everyone was a great help. There is just one thing left to fix before everything works 100%. I have my routes set up as thus: any requests to 127.97.0.0 is routed through network card #2, (127.97.245.108) within my university network for high speeds. Any other traffic is routed through network card #1 (192.168.1.110) to 192.168.1.1, which is a router with a cable modem attached. Everything works beautifully - my original problem was that natd wasn't enabled on my university network IP. Here is my problem: whenever a person on the internal network tries to connect to my web server (or anything else) on my public IP, the request times out. I type in www.presidenturkel.com (my domain name) on any computer in my university and it appears like it exists, but does not return any signals. If I manually type in the ip 127.97.245.108, it works perfectly. My guess is that the computer is not expecting a request to return through the university network. My question is: is there anyway to make any requests from the internal network to my public ip work? It is going to be irritating if I make people memorize two domain names based on whether they are inside or not. I realize this is complicated, so here is my netstat -r output: netstat -r Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.1.1UGS 0 128500vr0 localhost localhost UH 0 208lo0 129.97 cn-rtrev-res15net.
