Re: FreeBSD 6 on Centrino laptop : how to prolong battery life with cpufreq (like est and estctrl did)

Re: Software to monitor RAID 5 Hardware on Dell Server.
Jayesh Jayan wrote: Hi, I had disturbed you all with some doubts regarding freebsd before. Now i have servers up and running. I am using the monitoring tool named nagios for checking the services run on the server. Now i am in need of a software or so to monitor the RAID hardware .. Below is the URL to the specification of Dell server which I use. http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_2850?c=uscs=04l=ens=bsd#tabtop Please guide me on this. Have a look at sysutils/megarc from ports. You can use it to query LSI MegaRAID-based controllers (like the Dell Perc4). It is severely lacking documentation, but it works. You can for instance use megarc -dispCfg -a0 to show the status for the RAIDs on the first controller.

Re: groupadd/useradd in FreeBSD?
Xu Qiang wrote: Hi, all: I am installing MySQL 4.1.13 into my machine. It has finished successfully. But before or after that, I need create some user account rather than root by the command groupadd mysql and useradd -g mysql mysql. However, these commands are not found in my FreeBSD 5.3 system. Any help on this issue? You're looking for adduser(8). If you install MySQL from ports, though, the user will be added automatically.

Per CPU load statistics
Hi Is it possible to get per CPU (load) statistics? It seems cp_time is a sum for all the CPUs, so is there another way to get this information?

Re: VPN through a FreeBSD firewall?
Per B wrote: Second question: someone told me that the ZyXEL cannot handle 24 Mbit, therefor I want to use the FreeBSD box instead. Can FreeBSD handle 24Mbit from the ADSL modem? I think it can, anyone against? ;-) We're using a FreeBSD 5.3 machine with pf and AltQ as our firewall/gateway/nat-solution for our 26 MBit link. We have about 1000 users, and it works flawlessly, but I guess it depends on what kind of hardware you're using.
