Hey all,
I've got a file that I just synced from a major RBL, and I'd like to just
use it to globally deny access to my system. Is there an easy way to do
this within ipfw -- the file is about 3 *million* lines, and is from
cbl.abuseat.org.

You really need to rethink what you are doing.

Hey all,
I have caching DNS servers running on two BSD 5.4 machines, and what
happens on both of them is that the processes will just lock up, and while
they may still answer some queries, they don't refresh or update, or
respond to proper signals.
For example:
s2# sh /etc/rc.d/named stop
Hey all,
this is sort of a wierd question, but bear with me. I notice that
pam_securetty has a function that allows people to have to be secure
before it will let them do something (for example, use login as root).
I've recently enabled telnetd on my system because of people trapped
behind
Hey all,
In BSD 4.x, there was a section in the make.conf manpage that said you
could define WITHOUT_X11 and ports would build without it (for things like
ghostscript, cvsup, etc, which have distinctly different ports)
For some reason this is gone in 5.x -- what's the appropriate way to do

Hey all,
I'm presently running mysql40-server from ports. I'd like to jump up to
mysql41-server. However, Ive tried to build the port for the new one
before the old one is deinstalled (just so the dbs dont have to be down
during a long build) and the ports tree doesn't seem to like this.
Hey all, I just upgraded to the latest 4.1-portable openssh, and now
when trying to log into my system I get the following:

Hey all,
I'm reading here that a certain version of tcsh (starting with 6.09) has
support for a preexec function. I'm not seeing this in the source or
manpage. Is there any way to upgrade the tcsh version in FreeBSD?

Okay, here's the situation. PLEASE let me know if there's a better place
to ask. (isp@, kernel@, something)
I'm setting up a bridging firewall where the packets are passing through
on dot1q trunks.
The bridge works. Packet counts work (so I assume the bridge at least
sees the packets).

Hey all,
I'm under the understanding that it's somehow preferable to install perl
modules via the ports system, rather than the straight off perl -MCPAN -e
shell system I normally use. Apparently the only advantage is this avoids
the no origin recorded errors (although portupgrade can't

I'm building a new box and thinking I'd like to stick with the base
