Hello, This is on 5.3-STABLE. On my desktop FreeBSD PC: $ fstat /dev/io /dev/mem only shows that Xorg is using these devices. Googling on /dev/io and /dev/mem, finds only Xorg related discussions and problems. I now also have Server PC, that does not run X at all. I'm about to remove the devices io and mem in the kernel configuration. Is that OK? How about the /dev/random device? Could that go too? Thanks, Rob. Rob, you are very mistaken about that the devices in /dev are. These devices, /dev/mem, /dev/io, /dev/random and the like, do not in fact actually reside in the /dev directory. Instead, they are part of the kernel itself. All the /dev files are, /dev/random, /dev/ad0 and so on, are simple files that take up only a few bytes of space. They are convenient hook points to use to get to these devices. That is, when a program accesses /dev/random, it isn't actually opening that file. Instead, the kernel intercepts that call and supplies the program opening that device with the output of the actual device. This is why these device files are created with the mknod utility, rather than just copying a file to /dev/random - since doing that is accessing the device, not creating the device file. So, deleting these /dev devices saves you practically no space at all, and does not in fact delete the devices - it only deletes the access point to them. The devices are still there in the kernel.

Re: Can /etc/rc.conf be replaced with a symlink?

I am wanting to move some config files from their standard location to a single directory and create symlinks for each.

Can /etc/rc.conf be replaced with a symlink? I have done and the file isn't being read/found. Moving the actual file back to /etc fixed the problem. I am not entirely sure, but to hazard a guess, this isn't working because rc.conf loads before the other filesystems in /etc/fstab are mounted, and you have the actual rc.conf file on one of those filesystems (though you didn't specify). Apache (httpd) and dhclient run after they are mounted. Thus, you would be able to symlink rc.conf as long as the actual file is in the root filesystem (I think), but I'm not sure if that's a good idea - it might be alright, just never done it before. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my university network, IP numbers must match a previously registered MAC address, otherwise the IP number is blocked.

Of course, it's stupid since you can spoof the mac and attack away. When shifting around computers and IP addresses, it is easier to fake the MAC address to what I need, than to start a procedure with the computer center to change the MAC address of a certain IP number. One of these days you need to start spoofing the mac of the default gateway they are using, and I would suspect after a few weeks or months of that they will jettison the whole register MAC address procedure. Recording the MAC address only has validity when they are assigning a specific MAC to a specific hardware port on the switch by using intelligent switches that filter. But if they are using dumb hubs then they are just being idiots and making work for themselves. I manage to do this easily on my FreeBSD PCs. However, my colleagues are suprised and ask me how to do this on their MS-Windows systems. It's incredibly easy to do, just go into driver properties for just about every network driver ever written for Windows. Of course, this illustrates perfectly the absurdity of continually trying to make computers easier and easier and easier to use with a GUI - no matter how much simpler you make it, the people you are trying to serve will always outrace you in ignorance.

If it's a Windows _server_, I never do any updates that are not absolutely necessary. The ISP I work at has a sister company that is a network services company. One of the several techs that work for that company has your attitude. He's been burned a few times when he's installed patches that broke existing software at a customer. However, the customers that he cares for have the highest percentage of broken-into servers. (by outside crackers) From our point of view over at the ISP it seems to us that the pain of dealing with an app that breaks as a result of a security update is less than dealing with the pain of cleaning up a server that is broken into. And we have also observed that no matter how long the techs there work on a Windows server that has been broken into, once it's broken into it seems to get regularly re-broken into in the future, unless they nuke and repave it. I guess your attitude is safe enough if you regularly backup and you don't have critical data like credit cards or patient data or whatever that you don't want to have spread around. Updating. yes you are constantly updating on a production server, unless your idea of fun is somebody compromising your machine. Unless the OS is a Swiss cheese of bugs, constant updating is not necessary. If the OS is so insecure that you must constantly update just to stay ahead of the kiddies, it's time to think of installing a different OS. Frankly I find this rather silly. The OS does very little that helps a cracker. About the only thing that bugs in the OS will allow a cracker to do is DoS a TCP/IP stack. The difficulty is in the application programs, such as nfs, samba, http, telnetd, sshd, smtp, dns, etc. which all of in the past had security holes discovered and closed - sometimes repeatedly. The same goes for Microsoft's products. Just because an app like IIS is bundled with Windows Server, and an app like telnetd is bundled with UNIX, does not mean that when those apps got cracked, that the OS was the problem.

There's even a Windows port so I can use it on my XP machine. The two SATA drives show no errors. The older IDE drive (which contains the filesystem root) shows the stuff below. There have been over 1000 read errors over the lifetime of the disk, but the disk had some hard times back in December when it was in my overheated old server, so that might account for part of that. The most recent errors look like they might correlate with what I saw today (unfortunately, I'm not sure how to interpret them): Rule of thumb on IDE hard drives, if they show more than a few errors with a tool like smartmon, they need to be thrown in the garbage. Heat is the number one enemy of hard drives. If this drive overheated, particularly over a long timeperiod, resistance values and semiconductor values can shift, permanently, in the electronics of the drive. So even if the heads and platters are still good, your on borrowed time with the circuit board. And since it's the circuit board that's dodgy, the drive surface isn't failing, so the problems aren't going to register with S.M.A.R.T.

Must know ps2 bus : the ps/2 bus is mapped as /dev/psm0 /dev/psm0 : support only 'ps/2' protocol ( moused(8) ) moused : map /dev/psm0 as a virtual port to /dev/sysmouse (ie like /dev/ttyv0 is a virtual tty) X : work with the /dev/sysmouse virtual device as input device. xorg.conf : When setting up Protocol to Auto the protocol choosed by X is ps/2 which don't work for me (i don't know how to use a wheel with it without setting up parms for each apps) xorg.conf : setting up Protocol to sysmouse is the best way i find to use my wheel. /sysmouse/ work natively with xterm, Mozilla, and so on. No needs to change anything. You should NEVER set the protocol for the mouse in either Xfree86 or xorg to anything other than sysmouse, when using FreeBSD. And, if your going to run X you should -always- run moused. Per the man page if you use moused, ps/2 or auto are the only acceptable protocols that are allowed to be set for the ps/2 port. During the FreeBSD installation for 4.X you are asked to set these up. 2. Parameters /etc/rc.conf : moused -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto is setup by the FreeBSD installation program and it will work just as well. Note - many wheel mice use a push on the wheel as a second button. /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse OptionProtocol sysmouse OptionDevice /dev/sysmouse OptionButtons 5 OptionZAxisMapping X This probably should be: OptionZAxisMapping 4 5 In fact, the only thing that generally needs to be added to this section is: OptionButtons 5 OptionZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection 3. Some tips Testing : 1 - kill the moused daemon 2 - set mouse on console : vidcontrol -m on 3 - launch moused on foreground to see if it's work : moused -f -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 4 - press ^C to end 5 - if result are ok, launch moused with your previous parms 6 - set up rc.conf xorg.conf as above. 7 - try to use a lightweight wm like IceWM or twm to test, it respect well X parms. For testing with twm: fill an xterm with text, scroll up and down. firefox also supports the scroll wheel. 4. Comments i don't know why, but logoff/login or reboot your computer in order to get this stuff working properly : first time i set this parms, they don't work.

I just thought that CET was central time :) Yes sysinstall's as good a way as any, it'll set your timezone and also let you choose between running with a UTC or local time CMOS clock. Or you can manually tun tzsetup(8) and create (or not) /etc/wall_cmos_clock .. see adjkerntz(8) Take little notice of people opining that you must or even should run CMOS UTC time; that's entirely up to you. I've always preferred local time CMOS clocks personally; sysinstall creates /etc/wall_cmos_clock and cron runs 'adjkerntz -a' halfhourly at times when daylight savings time might come or go in your zone, and that's always worked fine here. The reason using UTC for the cmos clock is that it never changes like US daylight savings does. Now if your timezone doesn't ever need to be pushed forward or backwards then it won't be a problem, but otherwise evertime the system boots up, it has to determine if the cmos time is correct or needs to be adjusted. A UTC time will always be correct and can be turned exactly into the correct time at the moment. I think that if FreeBSD crashed just after it booted up and adjusted the hour forward, then on the next reboot, it would adjust it another hour forward. In general, it is just harder to manage. Even worse would be my Quad boot system with Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD. If I used local time for my cmos clock then every daylight savings change, each os would adjust the clock independently and I'd be 3 hours off. The only thing to watch running wall_cmos_clock is that if you boot to single user mode, before /etc/rc has run 'adjkerntz -i' the system will assume CMOS is UTC, so any files then modified show timestamps in UTC (discovered the hard way in Jan 2000 on a box with a broken y2k BIOS :) Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I sense much NT in you.

So I thought, if it's not needed (since I have no X installed), then it better should go. If your server isn't chained to a steel post set in concrete then it is a security risk to put data on it because someone might steal it and read all your data. Unfortunately, too many people read the words security hole and their brain short-circuits and they stop thinking. It is possible to argue that any possible thing you do in your life from getting up in the morning and taking a dump to going to bed at night is a security risk. It is possible to make people do a lot of ignorant and stupid things (at least in the United States) right now by waving around the security flag.

Apache (httpd) and dhclient run after they are mounted. Thus, you would be able to symlink rc.conf as long as the actual file is in the root filesystem (I think), but I'm not sure if that's a good idea - it might be alright, just never done it before. Correct. Some of the /etc/rc.d scripts need to read rc.conf before any of the filesystems have been mounted.

In practice this isn't something mentioned in the install docs so it is very unlikely many people know. Another strange thing is that /dev/random should block when it runs out of entropy - it doesen't seem to do so, however. And the device doesen't seem to gain entropy that quickly. I thought it should be better since it can gather entropy from all over the kernel like interrupts. I'm pretty sure I read that linuxes /dev/random was far supieror to prng and I'd expect FreeBSD to be the same unless someone was lazy in implementing it or there is some major security hole in it. The FreeBSD random device is a port of the same Linux code. Interestingly enough, Sun's Solaris x86 random driver sucks too in the same way, runs out of entropy quickly and doesen't recharge that rapidly. There's a couple people who have written prngs which they claim are far superior to the random devices. Do a search and you will run across them. An excellent random device would be a portable fm radio tuned to in between stations and feeding the mic input of a soundcard. That's what you use when you don't want NSA's supercomputers breaking your keys. ;-) But of course if you pulled entropy out of that too fast, you would run into the speed limitations of the D/A converter in the soundcard input.

No, it still searches all files, it just doesn't print the usual line

need to make sure grep never goes into /dev. Since your running 5.x,
/dev is it's own filesystem of a unique type, so the following command

Not sure how to change the time zone with config files, so I just used sysinstall to change it to MST (time zone is arbitrary, but since this is the zone I live in, it's convenient for me). Then I used ntpdate to sync it, and it's working well now. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I just thought that CET was central time :) Yes sysinstall's as good a way as any, it'll set your timezone and also let you choose between running with a UTC or local time CMOS clock. Or you can manually tun tzsetup(8) and create (or not) /etc/wall_cmos_clock .. see adjkerntz(8) Take little notice of people opining that you must or even should run CMOS UTC time; that's entirely up to you. I've always preferred local time CMOS clocks personally; sysinstall creates /etc/wall_cmos_clock and cron runs 'adjkerntz -a' halfhourly at times when daylight savings time might come or go in your zone, and that's always worked fine here. The reason using UTC for the cmos clock is that it never changes like US daylight savings does. Now if your timezone doesn't ever need to be pushed forward or backwards then it won't be a problem, but otherwise evertime the system boots up, it has to determine if the cmos time is correct or needs to be adjusted. A UTC time will always be correct and can be turned exactly into the correct time at the moment. I think that if FreeBSD crashed just after it booted up and adjusted the hour forward, then on the next reboot, it would adjust it another hour forward. In general, it is just harder to manage. Even worse would be my Quad boot system with Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD. If I used local time for my cmos clock then every daylight savings change, each os would adjust the clock independently and I'd be 3 hours off. I don't believe that's correct Loren, at least, not for FreeBSD anyway. adjkerntz -i when run on entering multi-user mode does not set the CMOS clock, it just reads from it to update the kernel clock if need be. If /etc/wall_cmos_clock exists, it knows to add the timezone offset to move the kernel clock to UTC; otherwise it takes CMOS clock time as UTC. Only adjkerntz -a (run from cron) makes adjustments on daylight savings time boundaries, and that's the only time it will update the CMOS clock. If running local time CMOS (/etc/wall_cmos_clock exists) then adjkerntz -i continues running in background the whole time. Only on a (proper) shutdown does init send a SIGTERM to adjkerntz, which then updates the local CMOS clock (if necessary) from the then kernel clock. If the system crashes without proper shutdown (eg power + UPS failure) then any changes made to the kernel clock during uptime aren't updated back to the CMOS clock which is otherwise free-running, that's all. At least, that's my reading of adjkerntz(8) and experience over 7 years. I did read much of the relevant code back in 2000 on a 2.2.6 system, but admittedly haven't checked since then to see if any of that's changed, and since it's a full-time server, haven't had to consider multi-boot. I also run local time on my 4.5-R laptop, _very_ rarely booting Windows, and haven't struck any problems with CMOS time changes in three years. Disclaimer remains: The only thing to watch running wall_cmos_clock is that if you boot to single user mode, before /etc/rc has run 'adjkerntz -i' the system will assume CMOS is UTC, so any files then modified show timestamps in UTC (discovered the hard way in Jan 2000 on a box with a broken y2k BIOS :) I should mention that Jean-Marc Zucconi gave me lots of good pointers in 2000 re fixing our system to handle that crook y2k BIOS. He suggested C patches, but I wimped out by adding some date commands to /etc/rc :) Sorry if this is getting a bit long .. it really comes down to personal choice; I sure wouldn't want to dissuade anyone from running Zulu CMOS!

Re: complete rookie sendmail question

What am I doing wrong with MOUNT?
Posted last night to newbies -(my mistake) I'm brand new to FreeBSD and Unix world in general. My son has an internet site supported by FreeBSD that uses MySQL. I have set up a FreeBSD version 5.3 system on my home network using an 80gb drive sliced and partitioned to the FreeBSD 5.3 defaults. I installed MySQL version 3.23 from the ports because that is the version on my son's server. I wanted to install a copy of his database that I had MySQL dump on his FreeBSD server and FTP'd it to my Windows PC and placed on a CD. After directing the .SQL dump back to a like named database on my newly installed box I originally received a message that I was out of disk space. I find that MySql is working in /var/db/mysql and that the default installation slice/partition of FreeBSD must be too small to handle the databases I want to play with. So I read up on the file system and thought I understood that one can graft another drive onto a mount point on the system to add space at the mount point. I purchased a 120gb drive for under $50 after rebates and partitioned it into one FreeBSD partition, (not dangerously dedicated). I expected, from what I read, that if I mounted it at the /var mount point everything in the original /var directory would become unreachable/invisible. I tried it and I got the results I expected. The reason I thought I would replace the ENTIRE /var directory was because if /var is too small for MySQL it would probably quickly be exposed to be too small for something else unexpected. I mounted the new drive 1 to a temporary mount point and used the cp command to copy each directory in /var to the drive. I looked in all the new/old directories at the temporary mount point using ls -F and everything appeared to be there at the file level. I used the umount command to unmount the new drive/partition from the temporary mount point and remounted it at /var. I opened MySQL and created the named database I wanted and again started to collect the data from the CD by directing the .SQL file data to my database. Again, just like it did originally, after several minutes of creating tables the system reported that it had run out of space. My surprise is that every indication I get after I regain control of the system is that the database tables are being built within the ORIGINAL /var directory structure rather than the 120gb drive mounted on the /var mountpoint. If I use the df command while drive 1 is mounted it shows that /var on disk 0 is full and /var on disk 1 just has whatever I copied onto the drive when it was mounted to a temporary mount point. Also by experimentation/confirmation I find that simply creating a couple of new databases within MySQL while drive 1 is mounted on /var shows that the databases have been created on the original /var on disk 0 as directories after disk 1 is unmounted. What am I doing wrong or what don't I understand about a drive being mounted on /var where data is being written underneath it to the original /var/db/mysql/mydatabasename on disk 0 rather than onto the mounted disk 1?

Re: What am I doing wrong with MOUNT?
On Mon, Feb 28, 2005 at 09:15:23AM -0800, Gerald Lightsey wrote: Posted last night to newbies -(my mistake) I'm brand new to FreeBSD and Unix world in general. My son has an internet site supported by FreeBSD that uses MySQL. I have set up a FreeBSD version 5.3 system on my home network using an 80gb drive sliced and partitioned to the FreeBSD 5.3 defaults. I installed MySQL version 3.23 from the ports because that is the version on my son's server. I wanted to install a copy of his database that I had MySQL dump on his FreeBSD server and FTP'd it to my Windows PC and placed on a CD. After directing the .SQL dump back to a like named database on my newly installed box I originally received a message that I was out of disk space. I find that MySql is working in /var/db/mysql and that the default installation slice/partition of FreeBSD must be too small to handle the databases I want to play with. So I read up on the file system and thought I understood that one can graft another drive onto a mount point on the system to add space at the mount point. I purchased a 120gb drive for under $50 after rebates and partitioned it into one FreeBSD partition, (not dangerously dedicated). I expected, from what I read, that if I mounted it at the /var mount point everything in the original /var directory would become unreachable/invisible. I tried it and I got the results I expected. The reason I thought I would replace the ENTIRE /var directory was because if /var is too small for MySQL it would probably quickly be exposed to be too small for something else unexpected. I mounted the new drive 1 to a temporary mount point and used the cp command to copy each directory in /var to the drive. I looked in all the new/old directories at the temporary mount point using ls -F and everything appeared to be there at the file level. I used the umount command to unmount the new drive/partition from the temporary mount point and remounted it at /var. I opened MySQL and created the named database I wanted and again started to collect the data from the CD by directing the .SQL file data to my database. Again, just like it did originally, after several minutes of creating tables the system reported that it had run out of space. My surprise is that every indication I get after I regain control of the system is that the database tables are being built within the ORIGINAL /var directory structure rather than the 120gb drive mounted on the /var mountpoint. If I use the df command while drive 1 is mounted it shows that /var on disk 0 is full and /var on disk 1 just has whatever I copied onto the drive when it was mounted to a temporary mount point. Also by experimentation/confirmation I find that simply creating a couple of new databases within MySQL while drive 1 is mounted on /var shows that the databases have been created on the original /var on disk 0 as directories after disk 1 is unmounted. What am I doing wrong or what don't I understand about a drive being mounted on /var where data is being written underneath it to the original /var/db/mysql/mydatabasename on disk 0 rather than onto the mounted disk 1? Just a thought - each time you mounted the new disk at /var, the system was already running in multi-user mode. That means that all network daemons etc have been started and are running /before/ you mount the disk. MySQL will continue to use the /original/ /var because it has open filehandles on that fs. Try stopping MySQL before mounting the new disk. Start MySQL again, and it should start up on the new fs.

Re: How can I cut and paste from xterm _into_ another program ? (NOTE - I am not an IDIOT)
Hmmm...so instead of actually reading my post, several folks have responded ... presumably just looking at the words cut and paste in my post and responding with a tutorial on how to use my mouse buttons. Thanks. So I'll start all over. I am running X on fbsd 5.3, with ratpoison as my window manager. I only run two apps - xterms (1 or 2 or 3 of them) and opera (my web browser). I can cut text in my xterms by simply highlighting it, and I can paste that text back into that xterm, or a different xterm by clicking my right mouse button. So yes, I know how to cut and paste thank you very much. I can also cut and paste in opera by selecting text and choosing edit-copy from the menu - I can then paste that text back into opera with edit-paste, or shift+insert, and FURTHER, I can paste that text into any of my xterms, with shift+insert OR with my right mouse button. THE PROBLEM IS, if I cut text in an xterm, I cannot paste it in opera. That is the only problem. So to recap, I know how to cut and paste - thanks. No need for the mouse button tutorials. All I want to know is, why can I not properly cut and paste from xterm TO opera, when I can already do it successfully gtom opera TO xterm ? Thanks.

Re: OpenAFS server for FreeBSD ?
Am Montag, 28. Februar 2005 16:54 schrieb Heinrich Rebehn: Hi all, i just wanted to know if there is an OpenAFS server available for FreeBSD. I found only a client in the ports and also nothing about it in the ml archive There is a special freebsd-afs Mailing list ( http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2005/freebsd-afs/) which isn't too heavily frequented ;) I remember several statements that openafs should compile and run on FreeBSD (the server part at least, for the client one should go with arla, but I think I can also remember positive results from one (the) porter at the ML). Since I'm not able to fix things I decided to drop AFS because if I decide to use it it's elementary to know it is supported.

Re: php5-5.0.0.2 mod_php5-5.0.2,1 - should be php5-5.0.2 mod_php5-5.0.2,1
Sorry, I got those version numbers wrong, let me try again what I'm getting is ... # make install === Installing for php5-5.0.2 === php5-5.0.2 conflicts with installed package(s): mod_php5-5.0.2,1 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 I can install either php5-5.0.2 or mod_php5-5.0.2,1 but not both. I've never installed PHP before. Do I need to install both ?? Thanks David Hello, I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3. I did install using FTP from the main UK ftp server. I'm trying to use PHP with Apache. Am I right in thinking I need to install both php mod_php ? I can install either of the following OK from ports or packages. php5-5.0.0.2 mod_php5-5.0.2,1 But, when I try to install the other one I get 'conflicts' message. Do I need to install both ? If so, where can I find non conflicting versions ?

Re: Installation instructions for Firefox somewhere?
Ted Mittelstaedt writes: One of the several techs that work for that company has your attitude. He's been burned a few times when he's installed patches that broke existing software at a customer. However, the customers that he cares for have the highest percentage of broken-into servers. (by outside crackers) I don't know that one can assume cause and effect here. Many updates are not security-related. Of the security-related updates, not all are relevant in a given environment. And since most security updates move in the direction of greater restrictions on what programs can do, they are especially likely to break existing applications. From our point of view over at the ISP it seems to us that the pain of dealing with an app that breaks as a result of a security update is less than dealing with the pain of cleaning up a server that is broken into. And we have also observed that no matter how long the techs there work on a Windows server that has been broken into, once it's broken into it seems to get regularly re-broken into in the future, unless they nuke and repave it. The solution here is to stop using Windows, if possible. Windows systems are extremely complex and cannot easily be stripped to eliminate unnecessary vulnerabilities. You can close the holes you know about, but you don't know what other holes exist until Microsoft or someone else tells you about them, or until you're broken into. And you may be obligated to patch holes in software that is completely useless to you, simply because there is no way to turn that software off. Windows is a good solution for IT departments that have virtually no qualified people on staff. They can just plug in the servers and run them, and they can just apply every update that comes out. They'll spend more on hardware and licensing than they would with an open-source solution like FreeBSD, and they'll never have a firm handle on exactly what their servers are doing internally, but at least it lowers personal costs and allows a company to get some sort of server capability in house without searching for expensive IT talent. Used as directed, and with regular updates, Windows is moderately safe. I guess your attitude is safe enough if you regularly backup and you don't have critical data like credit cards or patient data or whatever that you don't want to have spread around. Yes. Confidential data like credit cards or medical records requires some fairly extraordinary precautions, anyway, ideally involving physical barriers to compromise (by distributing functions over different servers, etc.). Unfortunately a lot of small companies (and some large ones--cf. ChoicePoint) are exceedingly careless about how they handle this type of data, and with the prevalence of credit-card commerce, there's a lot of exposed information out there. Frankly I find this rather silly. The OS does very little that helps a cracker. About the only thing that bugs in the OS will allow a cracker to do is DoS a TCP/IP stack. The difficulty is in the application programs, such as nfs, samba, http, telnetd, sshd, smtp, dns, etc. which all of in the past had security holes discovered and closed - sometimes repeatedly. The same goes for Microsoft's products. Agreed, but it reduces to the same thing, since each OS tends to bring with it a set of applications. You may have problems with telnetd on UNIX, but not on Windows, since Windows doesn't generally run telnetd. You won't have problems with IIS on UNIX. Just because an app like IIS is bundled with Windows Server, and an app like telnetd is bundled with UNIX, does not mean that when those apps got cracked, that the OS was the problem. The whole environment was the problem. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
