RE: UNIX-Based VPN Applications

I think the general idea is that they could tunnel in from outside of our campus and receive an IP number on our network. There would probably be a UNIX server on the campus end of the network to accept these connections. Those of us who work here or are students can set up a UNIX box on campus and use ssh in to it from anywhere. What I am asking about is whether there is a VPN application that UNIX-users in general can register with to have a presence on our network. Thank you very much.

RE: ip address behind router ?
Shane Ambler wrote: Looks to me that this page is not entirely accurate. (at least from where I am) It would appear to get a proxy server somewhere along the way. Yes this is true. If your behind a proxy or have a complicated network setup, this will fail. For most DSL/Cable modem customers this simple solution will work fine. These services are going to get the IP address of the last packet sent from the network. If you have more than one router, this will be the last router (NAT device) in your setup. It should work for most simple cases though. There are also some other web servers out there that offer this functionality. Just Google on external or outside IP and see if any of the other sites show any differences. I would consider using the dynamic dns services - such as no-ip - and use a perl script that updates then ping your dns name. Not sure if they are more accurate that the below idea though. That is an interesting idea. I would bet they may have the same problems with proxy servers and such but it would be worth a try.

Hello list, I tried asking this question on the MonoDevelop list but they tell me to ask on the FreeBSD list so I figured questions was the best place. Has anyone had any luck installing gtksourceview-sharp on FreeBSD? I've successfully installed mono, monodoc, gtksharp but the gtksourceview-sharp 0.5 build fails with the following error: Assertion failed: (lu -lu_myreq -lr_owner==lu),function_lock_acquire, file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/sys/lock.c, line 171 Abort trap (core dumped) *** Error code 134 If there is a better list to ask on, please let me know and I will ask there.

5.3 and Sound Blaster Audigy
I am under the understanding that the emu10k1 driver has support for the Sound Blaster Audigy in FreeBSD 5.3, is this correct? Thanks, Thomas ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In case my sound card doesn't work, is there any documentation on how to do what you mentioned above? i.e. make changes to the sound code? I can get the pci id from dmesg right? Bear with me, I'm new to FreeBSD. Been at it for about 2 months now and loving it but some things still confuse me and I'm still not really good at finding the documentation yet.

Good newsreaders for FreeBSD?
Hello List, I'm looking for a newsreader that has multi-server capabilities in that it can piece together articles using different newsgroup servers. Similar to NewsPro for windoze. Anyone had any luck with a good newreader port for FreeBSD? I'm running FreeBSD 4.10 if that makes any difference.

That's the problem with most of the email that Outlook sends, isn't it? It looks ok to the poster but not to the reader. Long/short lines that Greg referred to is a common symptom of Outlook-formatted (or, to be more precise, `unformatted', if I am excused for the pun) messages. You, as the poster write a paragraph that seems perfectly fine when wrapper in your preview window in Outlook, but eventually the reader of your post has to make sense out of something like this: - Original message - Sender: Firstname Lastname Sent: Oct 15, 2004 Subject: Useless repetition of the subject, which is only a waste of bandwidth for people with a good, threading mail user-agent To: Person1; Person2; Person3 Cc: Person4; Person5 Some of the original text is included here, most of the time everything the original poster has said is included verbatim, without any sort of trimming and a funny wrapping style like this mess you are reading now. I can't even begin to describe how many things are stupid about this format of replying. The stripping of *real* email addresses, the redundant and excessive inclusion of header information in the attribution paragraph, the fact that the attribution *is* a paragraph, the silly wrapping style, etc. are only a few of the evil things this mailer does. Unfortunately, despite having discussed this with Windows users many times and tested various tools, hacks and add-ons with many of them, I still haven't found one that fixes all the bugs in Outlook's formatting of mail messages; ``outlook-quotefix'' is not an exception to this. What is very wrong about the wrapping style of Outlook (or the lack of one) is that Outlook users might never become aware of it. Just like you didn't know about it until Greg pointed it out ;-) Giorgos That's all true but at least it solves the topposting problem which is what most People seemed to be complaining about. :) Tom ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CVSup on current branch questions.
I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm a little confused about the branches. From my research I have deduced that this is a current branch and that there is no stable branch. Is this correct? I would like to CVSup the most stable version of 5.2.1 source as well as the ports. Can someone explain to me how exactly to do this? I've tried to CVSup the ports using the sample supfile provided but none of my packages seem to build.
