The problem is that reverse lookups for any of the IPs preceding .4 on box fails. If I connect to IRC with .5 for instance, it times out and reverts back to .4, whose lookup works just fine. BIND runs on camel. Maybe the problem is that BIND is not upstream for all those IPs? (I don't know what that means, a friend just told me) Or that I haven't configured the reverse for any of the other IPs? I would really like to keep BIND running on camel, as its dedicated to all my vital network services, whereas box is the home of all my users, and thus expendable ;) Is there any way to modify BIND on camel, or must I set up an additional one on box?

It is a development branch, but it is the ultimate stage of testing before code goes into a release. I've never personally been bitten by problems introduced into stable -- and I track it fairly closely on a couple of machines that are pretty important to me. Problems in RELENG_7 are rare -- weeks between occurrences -- and when they do happen it's usually due to trivial errors merging code from HEAD that stop the system building successfully. That sort of thing is generally fixed within hours. As the user of a RELENG_7 system, the only effect this could have on you would be to delay your doing a system update for a small time. You will have to use csup/cvsup to track RELENG_7 and compile world yourself. FreeBSD-update only covers release branches (eg RELENG_7_0 or 7.0-RELEASE-p3 as it is at the moment.)

I don't want to loose any user and group ownership of files. Would there be another solution without rsync then or does the 'forbidden root login' affect all backup solutions here? If you're going to expand the backup sets on the mirror box back into a second copy of the filesystem, then you definitely need root access on the client (to read any file irrespective of permissions) and on the server (in order to set the ownership and permissions on the files). You can NFS mount the filesystem onto the second server and copy the files locally that way -- but watch out for the way root-owned files are changed to nobody:nobody ownership by default. You can use ggated(8) and ggatec(8) to share the filesystem at low-level between the two machines. It's even possible to combine that with a local filesystem using gmirror(8) to have instantaneous synchronisation of both copies of the data on the two machines, although I wouldn't trust that for anything your livelihood depends on. You can do a similar trick using iSCSI -- you'll need the net/iscsi-target port installed on the server machine and to use the iscsi_initiator(4) driver on the client machines. See also iscontrol(8) However, if you're willing to store a tarball or other archive format as your backup, then you don't need root access on the backup server, although you will still need it on the client. In this case, you can use just about anything: dump(8), tar(1), cpio(1) -- these all give you the option of 'writing to a remote device' which can just be a regular file on your second machine. Usually network writes are over ssh(1), although you will possibly be required to set some variables in the environment to force that to be the case. So all you need is a non-root account on the server that lets root on the clients log into it. That can be arranged using key-based auth quite nicely. Depending on how much stuff you have, and the likelyhood that you'll need to restore it, you could use a full-blown backup system like bacula. It's pretty easy to get bacula to write backup sets to disk, and you get a not bad at all command interface via bconsole to manipulate all that from either the backup client or the backup server host.

Re: Video streaming with freeBSD
If the main purpose of your box is to be a PVR, I suggest going with a Linux distribution and using MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org). While I am a fan of FreeBSD as a web/mail/etc. server, it did not meet my needs when attempting to build a PVR. I found the Gentoo Linux distribution most comfortable for me because it uses a portage system similar to the ports system of FreeBSD. Others I tried were package based and didn't always support my hardware. I would like to try and put together the most functional FreeBSD based PVR system possible, even if it does have less functionality than it's Linux counterpart. does anyone have a recipe for a working FreeBSD based PVR? if not post Ideas for software / configurations / Hardware, and I will l make a web page out of it.

Re: Need FreeBSD 7.0 XEN-KERNEL
Hi list, I want to install a FreeBSD 7.0 on a XEN Server as (para-virtualize) domU. There is an installation document on FreeBSD handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html) However, the link is broken on the page which is for downloading the kernel file. So, where can i get that file ? Yesterday I asked for an explanation about a howto to build a XEN kernel file. This would be better because with an explanation noone needs a download address anymore. Unfortunately noone answered. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
