That's exactly what I ment. If you force your sk0 to 100-full do the same with 
your switch. If you set sk0 to auto-config -- do it with your switch.

Watch your interface-counters: 

netstat -I sk0 -b -d -t

If the hardware (cards, cabeling, plugs, ...) is ok, there shouldn't be any 
errors for days or even weeks!

If you change hardware settings, you should also maintain the same settings on 
both ends of the wire, i.e. at the computer *and* the ethernet switch.

I'm not sure if it also applies to FreeBSD but under Linux  you can specify 
the following mount options in /etc/fstab to a samba share:
credentials=/etc/samba/credentials

It points to a file (/etc/samba/credentials) which contains username and 
password in the format

username = someuser
password = somepass

The file should only be readable by root.

Both the same.
PPP and Ethernet (Multiple Access Broadcast) are one layer below network layer 
-> data-link layer. IP is covered within network layer.

The option -i of ls shows you the inode number of the files. So you could make 
an ls -lRi >tmpfile and then searching for the inode number within tmpfile.

I don't know about suPHP but a chose a different way.
I'm running a server for about 200 users (students) and I wanted to offer them 
full Apache+PHP functionallity without any restrictions.
I decided to run 200 indepentent small Apache-Servers utilizing the 
worker-Modell and the PHP5 module. Each Apache is listening on a separate 
port (of course) and I use on master Apache with mod_rewrite to proxy 
requests to user_dirs to the appropriate port number.

Using the MD5 checksum you can verify if the file you downloaded ist exactly 
the same as the file it should be, e.g. type md5sum 
5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and compare the result.

My Upgrade was successful!

I upgraded from 5.4-RC3 to 5.4-STABLE (amd64) using cvsup (the src-all branch) 
and rebuilt the whole system from source.

I did not reinstall or change anything else, neither X.Org nor KDE.
But now the keyboard works, even after directly booting into X (starting kdm 
from /usr/local/etc/rc.d).

I should also mention that I'm using a Keytronic keyboard, not a Fluebox as 
lined out in this thread.

Re: FreeBSD 5.4 X Org Fluebox Keyboard dont respond?

[Bernhard Fischer]

Hy,

I can confirm your problem for FreeBSD 5.4 amd64-RC3 and I got the same 
problem with a Linux 2.6.8 on an ASUS-Laptop.

Unfortunately I've no good solution but I'm fairly sure that the problem is 
related to the X.org and not the OS.
I think there's something wrong in the communication between the keyboard 
driver of the OS and the X server and (on my machines) it always apeared only 
when booting directly into X running xdm from inittab or /etc/rc.d.

I figured out that booting to command line and then starting X manually (by 
typing xdm on a root shell) will not cause the problem.

Regards,
bh
