DHCP access
I have a wireless home network with an 802.11B router which assigns IPs via DHCP. what method is appropriate to access one fbsd box from another when I don't actually know the IP which has been assigned to any given box. May sound rookie, but presently I go to each box and determine it's IP directly and then I know the IP (at least for this session).

Re: Something is wrong here
The same thing happens to me occasionally. My diagnosis is this: * my MTA (exim) is set to reject junk mail. * freebsd list gets spammed with junk mail reasonably frequently * my MTA refuses the junk from the list * FreeBSD mailing system cuts me off because I have rejected the junk/spam which it is propogating. --- the list needs to be closed? Or at least it needs to have it's OWN junk mail filter.. my 2 cents vizion communication wrote: HI I have previously emailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] over problems with regard to what gets classified as excessive bounces. As a result of which I repeatedly get removed from the list. On each occasion I receive an email that tells me I have been temoved due to excessive bounces.

Re: 5.3-release fine with 512MB RAM, reboots at times with 1.5GB (but no panic)

When I add the 1GB stick the system will reboot at specific times, for example, while trying to launch KDE3 or trying to make OpenOffice (always reboots at Extracting for openoffice-1.1.2-1). I do not see any panic in the messages log, the system just silently reboots. I initially installed FreeBSD with only the 512MB stick in. The memory itself seems fine; memtest86 detects no errors. I too have a similar problem. I have 7 identical systems. all with identical MoBo's SCSI hard drives and RAM. One machine reboots frequently with 5.3 where with 4.9 it never rebooted. 6 machines are fine. 1 reboots. I changed memory sticks. (which incidentally always pass an extensive memory test). I even changed the power supply on the computer. The last thing I am going to change is the MoBo. Perhaps it has some timing issue discovered only with 5.3.

routed daemon
Can the routed daemon co-exist with a CISCO router which, by default, also responds to routing requests? The reason I ask, is that I accidentally installed routed, and it was running, and my whole network came to a grinding halt, until I de-activated routed. I had not set up *any* configuration file or anything other than installing the port (by accident). So did this halt my system because I had no configuration file, or because routed cannot co-exist with (in this case) my telco provided CISCO gateway router?

syslogd and pipe to email
I would like to email some kernel.warning messages to myself via the pipe action in syslog.conf, but I'm getting hung up on the fact that the pipe stays open (unless I HUP syslogd). The man page suggests that a script wrapper can be written to capture one line output and exit, but I wonder if there is any other method, such as an option/flag I am missing to terminate the pipe after, say, 30 seconds? I would rather have a script which waits at least 30 seconds before terminating rather than after one line, because some of the records I am looking for are multi-line, and I'm not sure if a script can be made to timeout.

kde4 on 8.3 and laptop
I had kde3 running just fine on 8.2 on my laptop. I have now installed 8.3 -and- kde4 on my laptop, and the kde system will not work as expected. when I type kdm (which is at /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm) I get the expected login screen (however the mouse dies), and after I login, all I get is a small cli window in the top left corner. The mouse has gone dead, and the keyboard doesn't respond, altho there is a prompt in the cli window. All I can do at this point is hold the power button in to reboot. If I do not try running kdm, the normal cli works 100%, the ethernet works, and the mouse always seems alive (altho in the cli the mouse is of no value).

v6 speed compared to previous versions

I've seen the trolls of past about speed and previous versions, and I would really be interested to hear the actual truth about 6.XX speed.

I see someone posted a question WRT the compile crash back in 1/24/05. there were no responses.

I use simple primary key files, most entries are added from a CLI or termcap/curses screen. Some programatically. With about the same number of sequential dumps vs indexed random reads. I have no experience with the c interface for postgres or mysql, but also, do not know how much the c interface has changed for sleepycat 5/6 compared to the c interface for db3, which I understand quite well. So I am prepared for a learning curve irrespective of which platform I select. Records do not exceed much more than 10-20,000, with key sizes not much wider than 16 bytes (ipv4), 13 (mac), 32 (ipv6).
