Re: Dumb question about ports/packages

2005-02-08 Thread Olivier Nicole
How would I upgrade just one package part of the core like that? Or multiple ones for that matter. Can you use the ports/packages system? Or do you have to do an entire system upgrade (i.e. 4.10 to 4.11). I'd say, given that ssh is part of the ports (/usr/ports/security/ssh), you could ust

Is this valid in hosts.allow: ALL : 151.103.xxx.xxx-151.103.xxx.xxx : allow Not that I know. i ue the configuration net-address/netmask would be: allow a range of ip's like 192.168.0.1-192.168.64.254. 192.168.0.0/255.255.192.0 for the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.63.255

All servers run RAID5 .. only one other is using vinum, the other 3 are using hardware RAID controllers ... Come on, of course a software solution will be slower than an hardware solution. What would you expect? :)) (Given it is same disk type/speed/controler...) Olivier

I have on-board hardware that supports RAID 1, hotswap. How do I install it on FreeBSD 4.10 as in, during installation Since you use hardware RAID, your OS sees only one disk, it ignores that there is multiple physical disks. So you just go and install the usual way, as with no RAID. Olivier
