For e-mail access, the same sort of arguments apply. You can
alternatively separate the database of e-mail accounts completely from
the system password database: the Cyrus e-mail system (in ports) works
in that way, and there are some well documented recipes on the web for
setting up such
You may think that is a small issue, but when you are trying to create
market awareness you need a mascot that evokes simplicity and goodwill, not
one that evokes evil and deception.
I think it looks friendly, not evil at all. Moreover, it says FreeBSD,
the power to serve. Sounds
Btw, I wonder what sane sysadmin would base his choice between OS'es
upon their mascot. At least I wouldn't drop an excellent OS such as
FreeBSD just for the mascot.
For clarity: it refers to background server processes, not evil. The
penguin refers to nothing.
And if you really want BSD
off the topic, if anybody could point me at how to build ipfw I would
appreciate it, i have seen the basic tutorials via google, but have no idea
where to get the kernel sources to do the install.
You don't need any additional stuff, it all comes with FreeBSD. Either you

Hi,
I have this simple question regarding the tcsh:
in /bin/sh (Bourne shell) I can assign a value to an environment variable for
just one command, like this:
VARIABLE=value command
e.g. DISPLAY=:0 xterm or CFLAGS=O2 make.
Can this be done with tcsh as well? The only thing I can think
Hi,
this is a fragment of my ipfw-config which should allow me to ping
others, but not allow others to ping me:
00092 allow icmp from me to any keep-state
65535 deny ip from any to any
Indeed, other hosts can't ping me... UNLESS I am pinging them at the
same time! This is of course a
dspam keeps its database in root-owned files in /usr/local/etc/dspam,
so you must run it as root or use suid.
I use spamprobe, a very similar spamfilter (also based on John Grahams
ideas in A plan for spam), but it stores its database under the users
home-directory, which will give you no
Hi,
using multiple harddisks can increase performance, since I/O can be done
in parallel. But what would be an optimal filesystem-layout on, say,
two disks of equal size? Swap should evidently be spread equally over
the different drives. As for the filesystems, say I'd have a large /usr

Hi,
where can I find documentation on the vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts

mention it at all, and even Google yields very few useful results...

So, what do I do now? This machine is hardly my first choice, but it's a gift

around the Compaq curse...

though), and I never had any problem with

Hi,
i see some ambiguity in using maildirs through IMAP and directly through
the filesystem, especially when using KMail.
The canonical directory for maildirs is ~/Maildir, where the inbox is
in the root of that directory, and any other mail-directory is a
subdirectory of it. The
Hi,
I installed FreeBSD on a machine with a Belgian (azerty) keyboard. It works fine in
console, but not in X: all keys are mapped correctly, except for the \ key. I
have keymap=be.iso in rc.conf and Option XkbLayout be both in XF86Config
X0-Config.keyboard. I've tried several variants to
Hello,
does anyone know with which CFLAGS the FreeBSD binary distribution is
compiled? It has -march=i386 allright, but does it have any -Ox?

Can you build Gentoo on a machine currently NOT running Linux?
Yes, you can boot Gentoo from a live-cd, you extract a temporary
Gentoo-system to your harddisk, chroot into it and start recompiling from
there.

o Install from cd image and choose the package that includes all sources
(with or without X-Windows depending on if you want a gui or not).
o Synchronize your sources with cvs.
o make world.
Ok, I thought that would be the way.
But what exactly is built by 'make world'?

But what exactly is built by 'make world'?
I mean, with sysinstall I can install several distributions e.g.

this? And will it not build more?
Ok, problem solved. Sysinstall lets me choose which sources to install.

You can better sync your source with cvsup rather then using the sources
which are being installed by the CD. Like that you'll always have the most
recent version of your FreeBSD installation.
How do I do this?
Thanks,
