If you want a local mirror, install cvsup-mirror but you need to understand the consequences of what you are doing before you try that. The current cvsup-mirror is over 2GB and you are going to download all of it. /usr/src for RELENG_4 is around 300MB and that is much easier to deal with than a 2GB system that you still need to run cvsup or cvs against to use. Since you are already asking for src-all, you just quadrupled the amount of data you are going to transfer each time you run cvsup. I use a cvsup script for each of those processes (src-all, ports-all, and doc-all) because I don't believe they need to be updated at the same frequency. I have a local mirror and feed 6 other computers from it. I think the break even point is 2 and you don't see any gain until you have more than 3. If you install a mirror on a single computer, you are downloading everything for all of the branch tags. What would change for 4.9 current?

The 5.2.1 and the six hard disks
I have a spare Dell PowerEdge SC600 which I used to check out the 5.2.1 release. The system has six 120GB hard disks. I have added entries in device.hints for the third ATA disk controller at port 0x170 and irq 11. When I let the system boot regularly, it does not show up all the six disks-- but only four of them belonging to the other (first and second) disk controllers. When the system is booted into safe mode (probably with ACPI disabled), I find the system recognize all the six hard disks. At this time, when I run atacontrol to set the access mode to UDMA100 on any channel, the system just panicks. Even raidctl simply gets into a faulty DAG scenario and causes the system to panic. Are the device hints for the third controller correct?

Re: Swap space - max size
Jamie,
Run the following script on your system under maximum load.
#!/bin/sh -
ps -o vsz -o rss | grep '[0123456789]' | \
awk '{
i += $1;
j += $2;
} END { printf(VSZ=%dK, RSS=%dK\n, i, j); }'
If you see VSZ is very close to the swap size and RSS is getting
closer to the available physical memory, you should have to tune
your system by increasing the swap. A process that is swapped out
is not necessarily swapped in immediately, so you can pick your
choice of the swap size that meets the requirements of VSZ (above).

Is there any point in adding more than 2 Gb of swap space on an x86 if
you have 2 Gb of ram? From what I've read, x86 can address 4 Gb of memory,
so it would seem that more than 4 Gigs of combined memory and swap space
would be wasted. Am I right?

Re: Router take advantage of device polling
Jeffrey, Yes, there is.

But I'm much happier now that I know I've searched the wrong places and FreeBSD supports much more soundcards that I could have imagined.

Not really my problem since I have a SB Live!, but this could easily improve FreeBSD image on the multimedia *NIX field :) Are there very many cards not supported by FreeBSD? Note that OSS can mean two things: drivers provided by 4front, or a userland API for playing sound. FreeBSD's sound system provides an OSS API, but is not OSS internally.

Re: config is out of sinc
I am a little confused on the difference of
RELENG_4_9 and RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE. Is the first one for stable systems, and
the later one for current systems?
Think of it like this:
RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE marks the *beginning* of the RELENG_4_9 branch.
RELENG_4_9 marks the *end* of the RELENG_4_9 branch.
Thus the set of files labelled as RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE won't change
over time, whereas the set of files labelled as RELENG_4_9 will, to
account for the security patches added to 4.9-RELEASE.
The terms 'stable' and 'current' don't apply to the RELENG_4_9 or any
of the other release branches. Think of the whole source repository
of FreeBSD as like a tree. The tree has a trunk, which corresponds to
'CURRENT' ('.' in cvsup, also called 'HEAD' in cvs), and the tip of
that trunk to the latest development versions of all of the files,
etc. that go to make up the sources.
Every so often a major branch grows out of that trunk: those are the
-STABLE branches. That branching happens on average about once every
two years. The first level branches have labels like 'RELENG_4' in
cvs. Every few months you then get a 2nd level '-RELEASE' branch from
the -STABLE branches: those have labels like 'RELENG_4_9'. Usually
there's just the one main -STABLE branch actively being developed at a
time and spawning release branches.
As a special case at the moment, some -RELEASE branches have been
produced directly off the main trunk (CURRENT) -- those are precursors
to the imminent creation of the newest main branch to be called
5-STABLE.

Matthew

I have a backup utility (in windows thru samba) which seems to backup redundant files, probably due to some symbolic links pointing to each other in cycle. Maybe a shell script can do the job? I searched on the internet without good results. I hope that my question is clear. Thanks, The usual solution to this sort of problem is to make your backup script not chase symlinks at all. You can't create directory loops using hard links[1], and usually you would want your backup system to reproduce the symlinks rather than replacing the link with whatever it points at. Most commands you might use to make backups will default to not following symlinks -- tar(1), find(1)+cpio(1), dump(1), rsync(1) all work that way be default. cp(1) defaults to that behaviour if given the '-R' flag (copy filesystems recursively). Probably the best way to detect a symlink loop would be to record the inode number of any directory visited, and then test if the current directory had been visited before. Note: you can't do this with ordinary files, as it's perfectly legitimate for the same file to have many hard links and so appear in the filesystem in multiple places.

nVidia driver problem w/ FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE + mplayer
Hi, I have installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on my system (Athlon XP/nForce 2 Ultra/GeForce 3). Unfortunately, I am not able to use nVidia's fbsd drivers. I saw a few posts that mentioned it would work under fbsd-5 although it was written for 4. Any idea on what might be the problem? The initial bootup gives messages saying 'PCI bus mastering disabled' and 'Unable to access memory ...'. Loading this driver also prevents it from detecting other PCI devices such as my Netgear FA311 and 3Com (integrated, 3c509, i think) NICs. Is there any workaround for this? I have not specified a chipset as mentioned in http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?B06CC0370BBC0F4EA588FD6952A9392502293A Also, when I install the mplayer package as well as apache 1.3, it halts with the error code -1.

RE: SMTP AUTH
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Stevenson Outlook 2002 (from Office XP) will try STARTTLS if SMTP-over-SSL doesn't work for any port other than 25, apparently, but as I said, it's still a bit hairy. I've got clients in .us, .uk, and .nz doing this with my server in .nz. FWIW, I believe Microsoft are still working on this - I'm told they might default to trying STARTTLS first for port 587. These things take time; the MSA standard is only about five years old, after all... Wow, that responsive? The only hitch is that office 2K is my last version of office (as win2K is my last version of a MS OS that'll I'll buy). It was a challange to cover all the bases, between outlook [express] and others (Kmail, Evolution...) I have running: 25 - smtp (with or w/o auth), w/STARTTLS 587 - MSA (auth SMTP), w/ STARTTLS 465 - smtps (with or w/o auth), SSL 110 - pop3, w/STARTTLS *996 (not 995!) - pop3s, SSL 143 - imap (don't think that supports STARTTLS) 993 - imaps, SSL I'm using qpopper for pop3 and imap-uw for imap and sendmail for the rest. I installed cyrus-sasl to provide decent password protection on the non-ssl'ed connections. *996 instead of 995... this was a wierd one. Outlook normally defaults to port 995 if one selects use SSL but when I configured qpopper to use SSL on 995 the negotation would fail. If i changed ports, it succeeded. I think I know what happened and that I could probably get it to work on 995 but I haven't had the time to work on it. I config Outlook to use SSL on ports 465 and either 996(pop3) or 993(imap). Kmail and such use 587(MSA) and 110/993 as they support STARTTLS. If anyone is interested in the relevant bits of inetd/sendmail/qpopper config files, just shout. -lee ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's not strictly accurate. You can go from FreeBSD to Microsoft Windows (and back again) without rebooting. (I can verify this from personal experience.) One way is to install VMWare via ports and then install Windows as a guest OS. (You need at least VMWare 3 to have Windows XP as a supported guest OS.) You can then run Windows inside a window when running X under FreeBSD. You can use Samba to access files on your FreeBSD FFS partitions from inside the Windows guest OS. (Alternatively, you can use scp/ftp to transfer files between the running VMWare and FreeBSD if you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up Samba on your FreeBSD system.) VMWare offers trialware license keys, so if you want to use this method of accessing Windows beyond the trial period you'll have to buy a full license. I've also heard people have had success running some Microsoft Windows applications under FreeBSD using WINE, but I've not tried that myself. To throw one more into the mix: Bochs is another virtual machine ... developed open source and thus requiring no $$. It's been a while since I've worked with it, but I just checked freshports and it's apparently still under active development (the port was updated with a new version just today ... what kind of crazy nut is updating ports at 5:30 in the morning?) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Given that fact, that you can also hack the linux-realplayer port not to depend on the linux compatibility layer (which would probably introduce a dependency on X11), and the fact that mplayer has its own magic to use linux and even windows shared libraries, the OPs goal should be really achievable.

Re: config is out of sinc
I am a little confused on the differen=
ce of=20
RELENG_4_9 and RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE. Is the first one for stable systems,=
and=20
the later one for current systems?
Think of it like this:
RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE marks the *beginning* of the RELENG_4_9 branch.
RELENG_4_9 marks the *end* of the RELENG_4_9 branch.
Thus the set of files labelled as RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE won't change
over time, whereas the set of files labelled as RELENG_4_9 will, to
account for the security patches added to 4.9-RELEASE.
The terms 'stable' and 'current' don't apply to the RELENG_4_9 or any
of the other release branches. Think of the whole source repository
of FreeBSD as like a tree. The tree has a trunk, which corresponds to
'CURRENT' ('.' in cvsup, also called 'HEAD' in cvs), and the tip of
that trunk to the latest development versions of all of the files,
etc. that go to make up the sources.
Every so often a major branch grows out of that trunk: those are the
-STABLE branches. That branching happens on average about once every
two years. The first level branches have labels like 'RELENG_4' in
cvs. Every few months you then get a 2nd level '-RELEASE' branch from
the -STABLE branches: those have labels like 'RELENG_4_9'. Usually
there's just the one main -STABLE branch actively being developed at a
time and spawning release branches.
As a special case at the moment, some -RELEASE branches have been
produced directly off the main trunk (CURRENT) -- those are precursors
to the imminent creation of the newest main branch to be called
5-STABLE.
Geez, you keep this up and you're going to end up making this
process all clearly understood.No mystery left... ;-)

Yes! The portupgrade config file, /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf is your
friend in this case.
The ALT_PKGDEP section is what you want - set something like this (NOT
TESTED!):
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'net/openldap21-client' = 'net/openldap21-sasl-client',
}
This simply tells portupgrade and friends that for any package that depends
on openldap21-client, make it now depend instead on openldap21-sasl-client.

Consoles: Toggling Internal vs. Serial during boot
The relevant system specs: FBSD 4.10, one serial port. I've read the docs: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html I am pretty sure I understand it all, but for one part. I'm not quite clear on how to grab the internal console once serial bits are set up. What I mean is that I'll compile the kernel with: device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x30 irq 4 and in /boot.config use: either -D or -Dh or one of the -P options. But in any of these, I'll end up with only serial access once in kernel. Section 17.6.6 Changing Console from the Boot Loader seems to be the relevant section. Is it really as simple as putting set console=vidconsole into /boot/loader.rc? I don't think it is; but if so, what do I type (and when) to grab backthe video console? Is this a job for loader.conf and flags, at some stage in the process of booting? In the situation available to me, I can have access to a KVM and a console server. So, I'm thinking ahead, and planning to have the video console available to me if I break something. I'm pretty sure I won't need it and can rely on the serial console output; but is there a way to toggle (during boot blocks or boot loader) away from serial to video output? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable
I am getting the following error in vi pretty consistently: Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable Usually I get this at every attempt I make to run vi. Every now and then I'll somehow manage to stay in vi however long I want. It seems that if it's going to bomb, it bombs in the first 30 seconds of running the program. Otherwise, it doesn't happen at all. No other programs do this, as far as I know. I have tried installing the nvi-devel port to see if maybe this is fixed in a new version, but it does the exact same thing. I even rebuilt the kernel and world after a cvsup to make sure something wasn't broken, but that didn't work wither.

vinum primary master drive inconsistencies
Hello, I've got vinum running on 5.2.1 doing raid1 on two ide drives. I was doing a installworld in single user mode when it crashed. I was unable to use any commands because of missing libraries not installed. I unplugged the master drive, therew in a spare drive as master then did a minimum 5.2.1 install on that. Then mounted my slave drive on the tempoary master drive and copied the libraries. Once that was done i unplugged the temp drive and let the secondary master drive boot which it did, went in to single user mode and completed the make installworld and mergemaster. Now my secondary master drive has the correct data, the primary does not. When i boot i'm getting: vinum: home.p0.s0 is stale by force vinum: usr.p0.s0 is stale by force I'm assuming this means it can't find ad0 which is because i haven't reconnected it. My problem is both drives are bootable, but if i plug in the primary master drive fbsd will boot off that and it won't work. I need to be able to boot off the secondary master drive then copy the data from the secondary master drive to the now inconsistent primary master drive, then reboot and all should be normal. Not sure how to go about this, any advice appreciated. Dave.

Apache php mysql
Hi everyone, I'd need some ressources to be sure how to install apache, php, mysql on my FreeBSD box. This is the first time I do it, so I don't really know how to configure the thing. I followed instructions from apache and php to install those but it's not really easy for me to understand how to install MySQL server from their website Apache and php installations seemed to worked out fine but I surely have files to configure now, but I don't know which ones... It would be great if someone knows any ressource about all this setup online? For information I have FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE, Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6, MySQL 4.0.20.

Re: LDAP
On May 27, 2004, at 2:38 PM, Thompson, Jimi wrote: The question then becomes - What do you plan to use the LDAP to store? Depending on your answer, you may need to modify your schema in order to store that information. For example, there is a library which uses LDAP to store information about their books. As books don't need a lot of the address type information, their schema is heavily modified to support this. For example, humans don't have an author or publisher whereas books do. Thanks for the response... Right now, we're using a testbed server to see if it's possible to use LDAP with pGINA on Windows to replace our current active directory structure. We don't use a lot of the advanced features of AD, and would like to begin this work as a possible way of eventually migrating users to something a little more flexible (it seemed everything could talk to LDAP for authentication...with the proper amount of headache-suffering...) For what we're using it for, it would be primarily user authentication. Right now, to get Windows 2000/XP systems to talk to it. Eventually, email using (postfix?) for authenticating 2000 users. Email directories would also be helpful for clients to talk to the LDAP server and get username, maybe some properties like phone number, building they're in, room number, student ID number...things like that. The 2000 machines need to get usernames, home directories, profile directories at a minimum...and would there be a way to get it to handle the permissions (group memberships, etc.)? We would probably need to figure out if the home directory and profile directories can be also stored in the LDAP directory as well as maybe memberships for that username? Would these be possible? Part of this would also rely on pGINA as well. The last systems that may need to talk to it are Win9x machines, if we can get the 2000 machines to talk to it then maybe SAMBA could be tied to it for authenticating Win9x. An alternative, I suppose, would be to get the machine to run samba and have samba act as some kind of domain controller and authenticating to the LDAP server on the Windows machines' behalf... Anyone hear of a setup to accomplish something similar to this, and if so have some tips/ideas on what to do? I know this sounds like a big jumble...I guess I'm just starting out into this project and looking for guidance on where to start charting a course :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Greetings, I have a LAN that is on private IP. It is nat'd to the internet. The internal LAN domain name is registered. Our ISP just forwards the osborneindustries.com domain name to our other registered domain name.

It passes all the tests as defined in lifewithqmail. I have another server (HP9000, running HPUX) that has djbdns (tinydns, dnscache, etc) setup and servicing my LAN. internal host names are resolved just fine. When (from outlook) I try to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail gets sent out to our ISP. I have outlook configured properly with a service for the osborneindustries.com.

I have multiple locations (VPN connected) with Windows2000/Win9x clients. I need them to authenticate username/password pairs. I wanted to use LDAP so that I could also eventually use the same directory for a new email server to use as an authentication backend. Depending on how the project would go, I'd like to have directory lookups also work from this in email clients (in-house mail directory, information on what room a staff member is based in, etc.) Basically a central repository of directory information. I would like to get some information like membership attributes...i.e., Bob is a member of administrators. Sue is a member of ourbuilding_secretaries, and Alanis is also a member of building2_secretaries, so I can set share permissions on Samba for common sharepoints. Would a better approach be to have Samba set up on these authentication servers, pointing to an LDAP backend? FreeBSD can use PAM easily? (I've had to jump into Linux authentication for a RADIUS project many moons ago, but haven't had to reconfigure anything regarding authentication under FreeBSD before...please forgive the naivety :-) Is there a way to have LDAP also handling the memberships, etc. for the NT machines to understand the memberships for authorization of access to shares, etc...so that it would be easy to spread this out to cache machines in other buildings? If it can all be handled via LDAP, I hoped slurpd would be all that's necessary on a set of SAMBA servers to keep our databases in sync in each building... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have another server (HP9000, running HPUX) that has djbdns (tinydns, dnscache, etc) setup and servicing my LAN. internal host names are resolved just fine. When (from outlook) I try to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail gets sent out to our ISP. I have outlook configured properly with a service for the osborneindustries.com. I have created a mx record on the HP. I ran the following: # ./dnsmx osborneindustries.com 0 goober.mx.osborneindustries.com on the qmail server I ran: mail# dnsquery -t mx osborneindustries.com ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 1241 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; osborneindustries.com, type = MX, class = IN osborneindustries.com. 23h51m37s IN MX 0 goober.mx.osborneindustries.com. both seem to see the mx record. Seems that qmail can't find it though. what do I need to set/fix to get qmail to find the mx record ? the resolv.conf on the qmail server has: domain osborneindustries.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 any ideas would be great. BTW, outside users (on the internet) do not use our internal dns server to resolve addresses. well I know it's bad form to answer your own question, but after messing with this for days, I have found the solution. In addition to creating a mx record on my dns server, I had to Add osborneindustries.com to /var/qmail/control/locals, and tell qmail to read locals (/var/qmail/bin/qmailctl hup). Add osborneindustries.com to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. Anyway, just for completeness. -Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Issue with your exim port's Makefile
Hi,
I run a small ISP and I noticed an error in your Makefile :
@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's/(Exim $$version_number)\\n\\t/(Exim
$$version_number; ${OPSYS})\\n\\t/' \
There appears to be a semicolon in that line, so it puts a semicolon in
the headers, and that is against RFC's and also breaks Outlook Express 5 and
Outlook 2000, it causes the wrong date to show up for the messages.
Can you please change the semicolon to something else, like the colon?
Thanks Much,
-dave

Programming question: fcntl(...,O_ASYNC) on device?
Hi, oh gurus,
I'm venturing into a realm of Unix programming that I had
previously been able to avoid: asynchronous event processing,
with or without threads.
Can anyone suggest why the following test-case program always
produces:
$ ./test-case
test-case: can't set O_ASYNC on device: Invalid argument
?
For reference to details, my system is 4-STABLE about a week
old, and the device in question is a Midiman1010 sound card with
the 4Front (OSS) driver. (FreeBSD's native pcm device doesn't
support this card.)
What I'm trying to achieve is the Unix equivalent of a DSP-style
IO interrupt for audio processing. I want the main body of the
code to be able to go on and do UI things without sitting and
waiting at the inevitable read(,fd), but I also want processing
of the input data to proceed immediately that data is available,
irrespective of what the UI code is doing (so just O_NONBLOCK
isn't what I'm after). The code doesn't work if the O_ASYNC
argument to fcntl is O_NONBLOCK|O_ASYNC either. Any clues?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Installing MySQL should be as easy: # cd /usr/ports/database/mysql40-server/ # make install This should automatically install the mysql-client as a dependency. There are lots of tutorials online about configuring Apache to work with PHP. Just do a few web searches for something like apache php configure, or apache php setup, or even just apache php. Quickly, you'll need to add some lines like these to you httpd.conf file: LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php These lines may not be exact for your setup. To test whether PHP is working create a file in your webroot (probably /usr/local/www/data) with only this in it: ?php phpinfo(); ?

RE: SMTP AUTH

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Noah
Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 12:40 PM
Hi there,
how do I configure sendmail to support smtps (SSL before SMTP)
I want to
configure this. any links out there show how to do this please?
- Noah
I found all i needed on the net but it wasn't all in one place.
Here's some of what I did.
In /etc/make.conf
# add alternate port (smtps) for sendmail
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -D_FFR_SMTP_SSL
and rebuild the world (or if you're smarter than me you can rebuild only the sendmail
part).
In your /etc/mail/${hostname}.sendmail.mc, define the service itself.
The first part is to define the certificates, they are used for both STARTTLS and
smtps. There are plenty of sites that'll tell you how to generate those. Mine is a bit
unusual as I don't use a self-signed certificate, I'm using a different CA as root.
It's easiest, but costs money, to use a real root CA and avoid the hassle of
configuring outlook/windows to trust a new root certificate.
dnl add STARTTLS support
define(`CERT_DIR', `MAIL_SETTINGS_DIR`'certs')dnl
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl
define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/mitelroot_cert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/cert.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR/priv_key.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR/cert.pem')dnl
define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR/priv_key.pem')dnl
then add support on the smtps port...
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps,Addr={put_your_addr_here}, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl smtp over
TLS on port 465
then do the standard make and make restart thingie to restart sendmail
try it out and see what fails (it helps to bump sendmail logging to 64).

ppp -auto
I would like to ask you for help. In manpages for ppp (8) is written: The following modes are understood by ppp: -auto ppp opens the tun interface, configers it then it goes into the beckground. The link isn't brought up until outgoing data is detected on the tun interface at which point ppp attempts to bring up the link. I've just installed FreeBSD 5.2 on my compaq deskpro. I've used the 'User' option of the distribution (Average user - binaries and doc only). I've read and go through all the man pages regarding to ppp and my modem is conecting without any problem. I can go online and do all what I need. BUT!!!:) when I write 'ppp -auto install' it automaticaly dials into ISP. So according to man page (as I've qouted on the begining) it means that there were detected datas on the tun interface. My question is what it is. I'm asking this because I wasn't sending anything and the modem was online for more than 6 minutes, something was going on, and than I've switched it off manualy. In my ppp.conf (as it is attached) I've set timeout 120. When I did ping, after it finnished exactly in two minutes. So what I want is that only when I'm sending email or browsing any web page it will go online. Do you have any idea what should I do and why there are some datas which are on the tun interface.

RAID5 Failure And Booting
My RAID-5 array seems to have died this weekend. After coming back from a motorcycle-riding class, I noticed my internet connection was down. I hooked up a monitor and a keyboard to my FreeBSD box, and noticed that the OS was no longer running, that the computer had rebooted, and that the BIOS message was Insert Bootable Media Into Appropriate Drive. I'm unfamiliar with this particular message; can anyone explain what might have happened? My understanding is that, since the computer is running a RAID5 array (Adaptec 2400A card + (4) WD2000JB drives) even if one drive fails, the computer will continue running. I replaced one of the drives, which seemed to be clicking on and off, but the computer still is not booting to the OS. I have a pair of FreeBSD diskettes at my disposal: is there a way to boot from this diskettes, assuming the array is still intact? -- ._ . |\_|/__/| .--. / / \/ \ \ | Rishi Chopra |/__| oo |__ \ | http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra | |/_ \_/\_/ _\ | `--' | | () | || \ \/\___/\__/ // \ (_/ || | || | ||\ \ .//_/ \__// __|| __|| (() ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
