Hi List,
some of the highlights of 6.4 (and I cite the announcement):
New and much-improved NFS Lock Manager (NLM) client.
Sounds great. My old nfs-box serving pxe clients is still at 6.3. Clients
run 7.x and 8.
On the clients run postfix, but having installed 8.0 on the nfs-server,
postfix
Hi,
migrating a syslogd server to another box this morning and updated the dns
zonefile, all syslog clients continue to use the old box.
Is this 'I only resolve at boot' syslogd behaviour intentional ? Now I
manually need to HUP them all... quite silly.

Robert
Hi,

Hi,
I have a standard umask of 0077 on a box.
I grabbed irssi from ports, but he doesn't connect to any irc server...
running it as root will. Now I suspect that umask setting of mine.
That leaves me with a silly question: is there any script running before I
enter 'make install' ? I cannot
Hi,
IRC-ing as root is a bad idea.
Yeah, I know. But I really had to doublecheck.
As a normal user, does irssi start?
It does start, but it's unable to connect.
If not, what are the errors?
14:59 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.xs4all.nl

Hi,
If one installs FreeBSD 7.0 in a VMWare box, the answer/choicde for
'install boot manager' is this: Standard MBR ?
Yes, or choos not to install a boot manager. Both worked with freebsd 6.x
and ESX 2.5x
Should one configure Ethernet then. If yes, what static IP parameters
must one
Hi list,
a friend visited my place yesterday bringing his HP netserver LH3 with
him, 3 9GB's scsi discs in it. Dual pentium II 450. 512 RAM. No hardware
raid though.
Given the fact 7.0 is near including ZFS. Given the fact, as I understand,
freebsd can boot of ZFS I wanna make raid1 on/with
Hi,
I have a new port which I feel should be included in the FreeBSD
accessibility category, if only because I noticed its absence in
searching for it.
Have you read

yet ?
I don't use ports myself and never
Hi,
Is there any reason I shouldn't just copy all of /usr and /var from the old
server, or do I really need to compile everything anew and sort out any
simlinks to other file systems?
why not just a dump/restore of the file systems in question?
He could also fire up nfsd, mount /usr/src and
Hi,

.
I would opt for 6.

Not quite likely, but it's possible ofcourse.

Hi,
That's interesting. Are you getting a could not lock the passwd
file: EOPNOTSUPP failure with rpc.lockd not enabled?
Negative, I rebuild the kernel on one box today, commented out
rpc.lockd=YES in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted into single user mode and
remounted / rw.
I then ran
Hi,
Hmmm, is there a way to run pxe-boxes without rpc.lockd and then still
able to run adduser and so on ?
Safely? No. But then, flock() doesn't work via NFS even if
rpc.lockd is running, so you aren't any worse off.
flock() .. hmm yeah, I discoverd trouble with sendmail as well, it
Hi,
I observed running a pxe client running fbsd 5.[45] being served by
nfs-box running 5 (and 4
nowadays because of asr0 trouble due to geom) having disabled
rpc.lockd
the box doens't let me run adduser, but with rpc.lockd enabled it's
fine

Hi,
rpc.lockd remains unreliable; avoid using it if practical.
