2009 Intel Mac mini

2010-07-27 Thread Bryan Vyhmeister
I am very interested in getting FreeBSD 8.1 with ZFS running on a 2009
Intel Mac mini. I have no trouble getting it to run on all the
previous Intel models but the 2009 versions hang on boot. I believe it
is related to the issue mentioned on this page

http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook

regarding r189055. Has anyone had success with this? Thank you.

Re: any recommended simple text editors?????

Hi All,

I am looking for a simple text editor that i can use when
i connect to the freebsd box with an ssh client (no x window)
that supports vt100 or vt400 (called putty.exe) .
Should also be able to connect to a linux box by recompiling
source for the linux computer.
There are so many editors listed in the packages cd , can
anyone recommend one in particular
Prefered is one that is menu driven with no keystrokes
to remember other than the common keys on the pc
keyboard : delete , arrows , backspace etc.
Pico is relatively simple. Pico is typically the editor for the pine 
email client. I used when I first started out in Linux. By the time I 
moved over to FreeBSD, vi or vim was my editor of choice and mutt was 
my email client. You probably won't want to use vi or vim because it is 
not necessarily intuitive. It is extremely efficient and great to work 
with after you get used to it though. It was one of the best things I 
learned to use. Hope that helps.

Re: secure pop server

A POP3 server like cucipop works very nicely. It is found in 
/usr/ports/mail/cucipop. By secure I am assuming you mean SSL support. 
The best way to add SSL support to cucipop is using stunnel. It is 
found in /usr/ports/security/stunnel. Cucipop works great on a small 
scale but I use courier-imap (/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap) along with 
stunnel for my main server. (In case you are wondering, courier-imap 
includes a POP3 server as well as an IMAP server.) Courier-imap only 
supports maildir while cucipop only supports mbox. It really depends on 
what your requirements are. You did not give much information about 
what your goal is. Hope that helps.

Netcraft Info for abcnews.go.com and FreeBSD

2003-03-24 Thread Bryan Vyhmeister
In looking up some sites on Netcraft, I discovered a bit of an anomaly. 
Check it out at:

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?site=abcnews.go.com

How does this kind of anomaly happen? Obviously we have some sort of 
clustered set of servers that are serving up abcnews.go.com using 
Microsoft-IIS/5.0. It appears that they are running Windows 2000. Where 
did the FreeBSD OS fingerprint come from? How does Windows 2000 look 
like FreeBSD? Obviously Microsoft-IIS/5.0 does not run on FreeBSD. 
Could it be that FreeBSD is acting as a firewall or load-distributor? 
Any ideas?

I guess I should have looked a little more. Interesting anyway. I 
wonder what sort of load balancing solution they are using. Any of you 
using load balancing solutions? I did a search on Google and came up 
with a few things but it was not all that helpful.

Lo everyone

Is there an equivalant for msn messenger on X ?


/usr/ports/net/kmess works quite well if you have KDE or don't mind 
running the libs from KDE.

Another option is gaim with the msn plugin.

Try doing:

make search key=msn

in /usr/ports and you will get a more complete listing of options. Hope 
that helps.

Re: Using the OpenSSH Port

I believe you should use this:

Where is that in the docs? I couldn't find it in
/etc/defaults/make.conf.



Look in /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable and read the Makefile.

The OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE variable applies specifically to the 
openssh-portable port. The variable does not work with the 
/usr/ports/security/openssh port. It causes the openssh-portable port 
to replace the system-installed binaries, etc. When I was using openssh 
from ports I would just go to /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable and 
run:

env OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE=true make install

You want to use the NO_OPENSSH=true in /etc/make.conf so that when you 
make buildworld and installworld you won't replace the port-installed 
binaries with the system-default binaries.

Re: 4 port NIC still in production

I would rather get a couple for safety and it would be nice if
it was still in production


Adaptec makes the ANA-64044LV which is a four part fast ethernet card  
but I am not sure whether or not it is supported by the sf(4) driver.
