I really need to track ftp traffic on a per user
basis.
Is this possible with the freebsd built-in ftpd ? If
not, what is a good ftpd to use instead that has this
feature ?
Thanks a lot.

WHen I used to use windows, a very favorite app I used

Very simple - if you held down control, then the mouse

It was terrific.
Is there a way to do this in X on FreeBSD ? I would

The hardware compatibility list for FreeBSD 5.4 lists:

Will both of these work in FreeBSD 5.4 ? I am

Hello,
I am using linux-opera in FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, with

As far as plugins, shockwave-flash is behaving

it did indeed start, but I received the error:

On that system, I have, running, a jail with a

Everything is working fine. I have never touched

Hi,
I want to do some benchmarking and speed testing of
rsync and UFS snapshots by taking existing files,
doing rsyncs and snapshots of them and their
filesystem, and then _changing_ those files by a
certain percent difference, and rsyncing/snapshotting
again.

However, I wonder how well this relates to how many

basic numbers for this ?
Hi,
I just loaded XFree86-4 from the ports tree on my

It took about 2.5 gigs of space to compile and add it

Let's say I have a small hard drive in an old laptop,

I successfully compiled a new kernel, and was using it. No problem.
Then I decided to move back to the old, GENERIC kernel. I did this by moving

Is this correct, or will there be problems when I
Hi - a few questions about UFS2:
1. Is it dangerous to mount all 20 possible filesystem snapshots and _leave them
mounted_ to use at any time ? What about automatically mounting all 20 snapshots at
boot time ?

Quick question - when I run `mount` or view /etc/fstab in fbsd 5.x, I just see ufs

Second, where can I find documentation on ufs2 and snapshotting,
I need to run 4.x (currently 4.10-RELEASE) but I really want to use UFS2 because I
also need larger files and filesystems, and I really want to use snapshots.
Is UFS2 available on 4.10 ? If not, how big of a hack would it be to try to use UFS2
with 4.10-RELEASE ?
