Re: How to config ipv6 for this instance
on laptop, but still can't get it done. The local network administrator only suggest the following steps to setup ipv6 on windows xp and it works fine on that platform.

Re: FBSD 6.2 Xeon 2.4ghz CPU and high load
and what most unix users do. It is what a lot of unix users have done historically, but now that there is and still most do. It's not a Unix way versus Other OS Way thing -- its a response to the change in direction hardware development has taken over the past several years. Chip on multichip hardware you can do many different things too - even faster as it's spread over cores. and how much cache RAM there is on each chip. 4 cores and 8MB is just the latest step in that evolutionary arms race. that's much better than more gigaherts way. any unix should support it good - with any kind of load. today i see performance improvements are mostly towards synthetic benchmarks like running 8 threads of mysql server. it looks cool on paper, but we need good performance when running concurrently many different things. if one plan to use single one program - why unix at all? as i've tested 7.0 once, it was on same computer noticably slower under high load of different programs. now i read 6.* is slower than 4.* (i never user 4.*) isn't it something wrong with it?! It depends very much on the application load you have to support and the sort of hardware you have available. For the sort of multicore chips that are all the rage nowadays, I'd go with 7.0 every time, even running single threaded applications. did you actually made a comparision with 6.*? not with paper benchmarks but just run 100 different things and check how responsive machine is. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My experience is of dealing with servers where each machine typically has a small number of important applications -- frequently only /one/ application -- which it has to run as efficiently as possible, and for a large number of end-users. The most telling example was a MySQL server which we originally configured with 6.3 -- but it just collapsed under the full load when we made it the back end for a popular web forums site. Exactly the same hardware is in use now running 7.0 and not only is that DB server cruising along quite happily, but we've been able to add a bunch more web servers at the front of the site. That's the most remarkable improvement I've seen, but it is not at all untypical. I can't speak to the model of needing to run hundreds of different applications on the same server -- about the closest thing I have to that is my personal laptop (but only dozens of apps, rather than hundreds), and other than being vaguely aware that it seems to be working adequately, I've never even tried to compare before and after performance.

GSM Access control system replaces key-fobs
Hello, GSM-Secure offer products based on the GSM networks offering the ability to use a mobile phone to receive alerts, calls and also to control equipment via phone call or txt message. Thank you for your time in reading this e-mail. GSM-64 GSM Access Control system- This system will react to a phone call from a landline or mobile and open gates, barriers, doors, shutters, garage doors and road blocks. There is never a call cost in calling the unit as the call is disconnected without being answered. Security is in the fact that someone calling the unit has to know the mobile (cell) number of the SIM card with it and can also be backed up by Caller ID. The unit has a memory of 64 numbers and will only respond to a caller it knows the phone number of who is calling it. The unit can open: Gates Barriers Access doors Shutter doors Garage doors Ram barriers and road blockers and is ideal for use on : Residential properties. Gated communities. Small businesses with gates or access barriers and main entrance doors. Large business with road blocks, access doors and main entrances. More information ordering this product can be found at http://www.gsm-secure.co.uk/gsm_opener.htm GSM Intercom system- This system enables a household or business to install an Intercom at their gates that can call mobile or landlines to announce the presence of a visitor. No more missed visitors waiting at gates only find no one is home or on the premises. This reduces the risks of a burglary due to the visitor never knowing if the owner is home or not. They will assume that the Intercom has been answered that there is someone home. When a call is received, the visitor can speak directly to the owner who then can make a decision whether or not to open the gates, door or barrier. Not only is it an Intercom, is has two other great features too: 1000 user Caller ID access control. Working in the same way as the GSM-64 mentioned earlier, the unit can store up to 1000 numbers. When a caller phones the unit and the number is recognised, the relay is triggered. Any unknown callers are disconnected and ignored. 2 input alarm or notification system. Connect these inputs to a sensor or monitoring system and the owner can be notified of events happening on site such as gates being forced or the property has unwelcome visitors. Alarms are sent as text or voice to nominated numbers. More information on this product can be found at http://www.gsm-secure.co.uk/gsm_intercom.htm Other products we have include, boat alarms, caravan alarms and house alarms that use wireless sensors as well as wired inputs for monitoring and the facility to switch on equipment such as heating, cooling, Jacuzzis and hot-tubs remotely using a quick call from a mobile phone. Alarms are reported by text message and then a phone call along with facilities to listen in to he premises to identify false alarm or an intruder.

The whole installation took a week or so ;) Works like a charm, except firefox is heavy load for this ancient piece of machinery. Also use xfce compiled from source on old 350 - 450mhz machines nicely. I usually use cdrom boot and then ftp install. On machines with no cd, or no working rom drives I use floppy boot versions of FreeBSD and then ftp the rest of the install. When wanting to use cdrom boot where I have no floppy, or bios doesn`t support cdrom boot (ie no bios upgrade to fix it either) I use a floppy tool called smart boot manager that when booted enables me to continue on most other media of my desire.( gives a new boot menu with among others cdrom driver loaded) I suggest this option for your convenience..

The local network administrator only suggest the following steps to setup ipv6 on windows xp and it works fine on that platform. I just don't know to get it work on FreeBSD, would anyone guide me in detail so I can also help the people aroud me. Many thanks! I haven't tried this but look in in the FreeBSD handbook (29.11.5.2 IPv6 Router/Gateway Settings) file:///usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html Sorry !! I was looking more at the windows example and your config in your posting and missed that you already read the handbook. -- Christer Hermansson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
