On the other hand, given Apple's trenchant opposition to Flash on the iPad and iPhone, you could just grit your teeth for a year or so, by which time most sites should be providing a flash-free alternative. The FlashBlock and NoScript add-on modules for firefox work pretty well to smooth over the rough edges caused by lack of Flash support.

BIND Refusing to Resolve for External Hosts
My named server used to resolve for external hosts. Recently I have
noticed that it no longer resolves names for resolvers not on the
local host. It works just fine for dig on the dns server itself. It
also works for domains that it has authority over. I also have it set
up to be a caching server on my network. Has the spec for the config
file changed or something?
Here is the beginning of the the config file:
cat named.conf

// Refer to the named.conf(5) and named(8) man pages, and the documentation
// in /usr/share/doc/bind9 for more details.

// If you are going to set up an authoritative server, make sure you
// understand the hairy details of how DNS works. Even with
// simple mistakes, you can break connectivity for affected parties,
// or cause huge amounts of useless Internet traffic.

this feature, and to configure their firewalls to accommodate it.
AS A LAST RESORT in order to get around a restrictive firewall
policy you can try enabling the option below. Use of this option
will significantly reduce your ability to withstand cache poisoning
attacks, and should be avoided if at all possible.
Replace N in the example with a number between 49160 and 65530.

/* Slaving the following zones from the root name servers has some
significant advantages:
1. Faster local resolution for your users
2. No spurious traffic will be sent from your network to the roots
3. Greater resilience to any potential root server failure/DDoS
On the other hand, this method requires more monitoring than the
hints file to be sure that an unexpected failure mode has not
incapacitated your server. Name servers that are serving a lot
of clients will benefit more from this approach than individual
hosts. Use with caution.
To use this mechanism, uncomment the entries below, and comment
the hint zone above.

The same page also points to spdmem(4). OpenBSD's spdmem(4) driver could be interesting to port to FreeBSD: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spdmemsektion=4 as it allegedly reads the eeprom data directly off the DIMM modules. Even so, for best results it helps if you install a uniform set of RAM modules, and I don't think there's any option other than popping the case and pulling a RAM stick for a visual inspection if you want a 100% certain match.

Offhand, I don't see a mechanism for doing so. Cleverer ideas welcome. There's no 'built in' mechanism. There's no easy way. Closest thing -to- an 'easy way' is to set an environment variable _very_early_ in the boot process, and then use it to 'conditionalize' (how -that- for an ugly word? :) the setting of various stuff in rc.conf e.g.: case $USER_ENV in home) USE_LDAP=no ;; work) USE_LDAP=yes ;; esac I wasn't aware that setting an environment variable inside the loader would propagate into the rc.conf environment. Is this so? 2. Usually, when the system boots, there are several lines showing the kernel and various modules loading, possibly with diagnostics. Is there a way to pause after that stage, so that those lines can be read? Or is there any way to retrieve them after the system has booted? I havven't tried it on FBSD, in a long time, but most PC BSDs will pause the boot screen if you hit [CTL-S], or the PAUSE key. Alternatively, does dmesg(8), used 'reasonably soon' after booting, give you what you want? Note: a typical installation will have syslogd putting _most_ of those messsages in the system log file, too. Y'all are way off base here: it's not the lines from the kernel itself booting, it's the lines *before* that, where the loader is loading the kernel and various modules. Occasionally, I see error messages here, but they vanish pretty quickly on my machines, too fast to be caught reliably with CTL-S, SCROLL LOCK, etc. I could set up a serial console, but it seems like a lot of work just to see these messages. -- J.

ZFS snapshot question - can I separate out some area later?
I created a raidz ZFS that is mounted on /mnt/backup It has subdirectories (not ZFS filesystems or volumes) like: /mnt/backup/wavehh /mnt/backup/joker [etc] I started taking snapshots long ago, and the snapshots are of backup@date, that means top level.

Instead the new directory should have it's own set of snapshots, at different times. Is that something I can still do? Given that I currently snapshotted at top level? If I just `zfs create`d /mnt/backup/recordings and start storing data there, will that be outside the other areas's snapshots? I tried doing this but I can't snapshot in there: ~(wings)10# zfs snapshot backup/recordi...@test1 cannot create snapshot 'backup/recordi...@test1': dataset is busy %% To clarify more, the structure now looks like this 1) /mnt/backup/wavehh # just subdir 2) /mnt/backup/joker# just subdir 3) /mnt/backup/newstuff # `zfs create`d filesystem or volume So I want 1 and 2 in the future snapshots of backup, and newstuff should have it's own set of snapshots.

Recommended supported SATA Cards?
I've been trying to find a PCI-e SATA II (300MB/s) controller card for a FreeBSD 8.0 system, but am having problems determining if FreeBSD 8.0 will support them. Ideally I'd like to find one that is not a HW Raid controller, as I don't need that functionality since I place to use ZFS and the HW Raid on the card just gets in the way. I know that a HighPoint RocketRAID 23x0 (2310, 2320) will work with the htprr driver, but those are HW RAID cards. I've found 'Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA' and 'Rosewill RC-218' cards, and those are the ones I'm having a hard time telling if FreeBSD supports. Searching of the e-mail archives has given me mixed results and nothing definitive to say that they work. I'm not sure what chipset the Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA uses, but the Rosewill uses the Marvell 88SX7042 chipset. I'd prefer to use Adaptec if possible as in the past they produced good SCSI boards and used to be well supported (in Linux anyway), but I'll use the Rosewill if it's well supported in FreeBSD. It's also possible Adaptec has taken a hit in support/quality since I last used one of their boards. :) Does anyone know if the above boards are supported in FreeBSD? Anyone have any recommendations for PCI-e 4x SATA controllers with a minimum of 4 internal connectors?

Re: 64 Bit OS
Yes. For historical reason, because amd was the first on the market to produce 64 bit CPU, it is called amd64. It went by x86-64 while in development which is why some Linux distro's use that term. Sometimes you'll get a question like Why don't you use the x86_64 naming convention like the rest of Linux?. (There is more than one thing wrong with that question) AMD64 is what x86-64 officially became. Intel doesn't technically use AMD64, but instead uses a compatible 64 bit instruction set. As far was what the OP should use, depends on the CPU. Not all Xeon's support AMD64 but any recent ones should. I'm not all up on my Dell models, but I think the 1950 shouldn't have any troubles with AMD64. However at the end of the day your choices are AMD64 or i386 as ia64 is for itanium's. The Itanium instruction set is completely different than AMD64 and no amount of coaxing will make it work. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi, I'm not all up on my Dell models, but I think the 1950 shouldn't have any troubles with AMD64.
