PUzzling sshd behaviour

Hi, I recently took one of our machines off the main network and set up a crossover cable between it and my personal box. I was looking to scp some large files over and I didn't want to swamp the network. (I use scp from force of habit, even though ftp would probably be quicker in this

Hello. I'm trying to make a BSD system from a bootable CD. I don't need anything fancy, just a shell and a few basic commands. I have the structure of the CD in line. My problem is with the boot image. I've read the FAQ on bootable CDs with mkisofs, and I did what it said: use the format
