What periodic process strips executable permissions?

2008-02-25 Thread Shawn Barnhart
I wrote a shell script to email me the output of ntpdc -p and put it in my crontab. It works for a week, and at some point over the weekend my script loses its executable permissions for me (user) but not for group or other. Is there a FreeBSD periodic job that runs periodically and removes

Clock stabilization in VMWare hosted machines?

I know this is a major nuisance, but I can't remember how I dealt with it in the past. My most recent stab at using ntpd with minpoll 4 polling of a local ntp time source isn't working, the clock drift prevents any sync from happening (but I'll admit not trying some of the more aggressive

Buildworld for slow system on faster system

2008-01-23 Thread Shawn Barnhart
My primary FreeBSD box is a Dual P3 700 Mhz, which is dandy for my console mode server usage but kind of blows for buildworld and kernels when I want them done a timely fashion. I'd like to do it in a dual-proc VM on my quad core workstation, where it gets done a lot faster. Is there any
