Most digital camera's today implement the USB mass storage system, so you
should just try and plug the camera in.  It may work!

RE: FreeBSD basic networking

2005-03-01 Thread James Hong
you wouldnt need routing table on dlink router
most eth ports on the cheap routers are hub/switch.
if you can ping xp from bsd that means switching is working.

Next question is what are you trying to do from XP to BSD ?
ssh? telnet ?

RE: access oracle from php (mod_php4)

2005-03-01 Thread James Hong
looks like best option is to install oracle7-client from port and use it
with PHP from port too.
However, as oracle client is based on 7, newer functions does not seems to
be avilable.

OR

you can install linux emulator and install oracle client with linux
emulation.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with 56k Lan Modems 
(these combine an Ethernet hub with a 56k modem).

Apple's Airport Extreme does this, but it's only a 1-port, and it's fairly
pricey.  3Com has one called office connect

Anyone done any recent pre-purchase research on this that they'd be willing
to share?  If possible I'd like to be able to dial IN as well as out.

Thanks

A video CD does not have a filesystem, therefore it can't be mounted.
You may be able to play it with the appropriate program, or extract the
video data to files.

correct me if im wrong, but just because user is a part of WHELL group does
that mean he/she is a root ? or equivlent of root ?

I know lot of things like su - may require you to be wheel group but Im
not sure why a user has to be non wheel group in order to log in.

I think using SUDO is better than putting any user in to wheel too. but
thats just me.

 In that case, maybe PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and 
 restarting sshd would help.

For testing purpose, yes.
The default is no. I think allowing root login in a not-secure environment

Subject: RDEsktop/VNC questions

Quick question about interconnectivity.

You OSX users may be familiar with a very slick little utility called RDC
(Remote Desktop Connection).  Some of you other *BSDers may also be familiar
with one called VNC (Visual Network Connection ?) or RDP (?).
The purpose of said utilities is to provide a sort of graphical shell
similar to an X session from a remote machine in a window.

There are several rdesktop and vnc clients in the ports, so rather than go
through the flurry of install-tryout-uninstall/repeat, I figured I'd go to
the place to ask questions.  Here.

So, who's using these clients, and how effective have you been finding them?
Any gotchas?  How cool is it?  Do they just plain suck?  And more to the
point, which one(s) should I start with on the short list?

All feedback is welcome - and appreciated.

James,


Kent Stewart explained what to do and how that came on 11/2/04 subject
  portupgrade core dump fix.



Maybe it should have considered a security problem, as it is such a 
basic and widely used procedure and thus somehow security relevant?

When will 4.11 released? :-) I suppose this bug is fixed in 4.11.

RE: Ntpd assistance

2004-09-23 Thread James Hong
 i had a machine where internal clock runs 1.5 times faster than normal
clock.
as a result time will be about 5min faster every 30min or so.
if internal clock is busted like mine, ntpd will not be able to sync time.
It takes as long as few days to sync few min on your unix clock.

Also if i remember correctly unix keeps internal clock and system clock
separatly.

read 
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html


PS. use closer tier 2 or tier 3  and multiple sources (as long as they are
public)

-

The idea is, that, at boot up, you force instant time synchronization with
ntpdate, using the list of servers in ntpdate_flags=-b .
(check the man page of ntpdate and the -b flag).
Then you allow ntpd to start (xntpd_enable = YES), that will keep the time
in sync with the servers in /etc/ntp.conf.
As a regular user, verify nptd's sync behaviour with:

ntpq -np

I hope that helps.
