Bootable CD with virus checking for NTFS

2005-06-08 Thread Brent Wiese
I've been searching around for a bootable CD that can virus fix NTFS partitions. Obviously that means it needs to be able to mount NTFS partitions as RW. I've found several CD's based on Linux that will check in RO mode, but none that will (safely anyways) in RW. Pipe dream? Heck, doesn't even

5.x, LDAP and caching uid/gid data

2005-06-08 Thread Ben Hockenhull
We're in the midst of implementing a couple of FreeBSD servers, each containing about 5k users, with authentication against LDAP. We're using PADL's nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules, and while things work well, I'm looking for ways to improve performance and reduce active queries against LDAP.

Hmm Just based on my past experiences with NIS (working on learning LDAP as we speak), one would normally have SOME local user data. For example, a local sendmail user, a local root user, if you're running a MySQL daemon locally, you'd have a local mysql user. I think? Someone could

Editing the boot menu

When you use FreeBSD's boot manager, you get a menu like this at bootup: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F3 Linux F4 ?? F5 Drive 1 Default: F2 Is there a way to edit the list? Or is that fixed when boot manager is installed and not configurable? By edit, I mean, for example, change F4 ?? to F4 MyOS.
