Anybody use the Dell 3010??
I probably should cc the hardward guys about this. first, see if it geta any traction here, tho. my tech guy got me a Delll 3010 that has an improved [[meaning screwed up]] BIOS with some hardware mess called the UEFI. Trying to get ssh to work *bi-directionally* i royally f'ked up my installation for well over 27 hours. ssh still fails to connect going in to my new tao; but this time I know what to avoid. my question is simple: of what use is this new/improved POS setup? im sure its the same for every flavor of unix. my view is that it mjust makes using non-windozw that much more painful. gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community. ___ 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

No, you can create and configure VirtualBox VMs using the command-line VBoxManage. I do this over SSH. See the VirtualBox manual (PDF). You did not pay close attention to what was written. What was written is stands as true. The key works are virtualbox built in config screens. Using ssh from remote pc only works if ssh is run from a desktop. IE: you can not start ssh from a freebsd host command line to connect to a remote VB to create Virtual machines. Incidentally it's possible to use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to connect and control any VirtualBox guest - including OSes that don't natively support RDP connections - provided VRDP is enabled for that guest VM. I do this running when VirtualBox on a Linux host, and can't confirm it works for FreeBSD hosts, but assume it does. AH now it gets interesting. RDP only talks to a fully configured virtual machine, not to the virtualbox built in config screens. So on a freebsd host without a desktop the vbheadless commands have to be used to create virtual machines. My final goal was to create virtual machines using the vb headless commands, which worked. But then I wanted to run rpd from a second host session [F2] and connect to the newly created VM which was not possible because the rpd program is not contained in the virtualbox-additions port and when installing the virtualbox-additions port had to use the force flag. So how can I run rpd on the freebsd host running the virtualbox server system so I can access the configured vm? I this configuration even possible? ___ 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

No one here has any question as to anyone's FreeBSD participation. That would be silly :) I merely contest the suggestion that nyms have little to no utility, that people need moderate their usage alone in public, and that those using them are somehow lessers. I won't fail to defend general anti-nym opinion or guidance, particularly when wafted in this general direction. Now, back to our regular programming. Yes, about this lack of a self-authenticating repo, etc. [1] It is good to see some discussion forming around it :) [1] Or whatever it may better be called. Put another way... we can't yet say, in the strong cryptographic sense, that anyone has a true copy of the repo. Or that the repo is itself internally tamper free and/or tamper proof. And so on as applied down the production and distribution chain. The repo does face certain risks. And Git appears as if it may be one way to mitigate them. ___ 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
