Re: Unable to unmount idle filesystem on 6.2

Hi there, Strange problem. The only thing I could possibly think of is to try and install lsof from the ports tree and see if that can identify what may be using this particular mount. Short of that, dropping to single user mode/rebooting may be your only other option as far as I am aware.

RE: Simplifying FreeBSD Installation

Hi there, I understand what you're getting at, but I think that you may be overlooking one important fact: FreeBSD is developed by people with a passion for the operating system, who want nothing more than to make it the best they can. They volunteer their time to the project, foregoing

RE: re:make world

Tell IPFW that you want to allow packets. You'll probably want something like: # ipfw add 00100 allow ip from any to any This will allow ALL packets, so it's not really acting as a well configured firewall, but it should fix your immediate problem. Check out rc.firewall and rc.conf for info

RE: Mail on FreeBSD

Hi, You should take a look at IMP (http://www.horde.org/imp/) or Squirrelmail, both of which are webmail solutions, and both can be found in the ports tree. They do however, require either a POP3 or IMAP server, and a server with PHP and a few other minor dependencies. Alternatively, you could

Hi there, Did you clean out /usr/obj before you started the 'make buildworld'?? If you have previously compiled buildworld, then this is something you should do. To do this: cd /usr/obj chflags -R noschg * rm -fr /usr/obj/usr Then, 'make clean' in /usr/src and start again. Hopefully that'll
