You should look to the overall capacity, (to make sure it can operate your hardware), and then the runtime... for example, you probably want something larger than 500va on a dual-cpu server loaded with goodies... however a 500va unit is just fine for the average desktop system. My advice, would be to calculate the maximum draw for everything you want on the UPS combined, (ie: 450watt desktop pc, 250watt monitor = 700watts total), and then find a UPS with a suitable runtime for that wattage, ie: decent 1000va should give about 20mins for a 700watt load. Bear in mind, that's at maximum draw and maximum charge on the UPS' battery... so your runtime will vary and almost never maxes at what the box it came in may say ;) Be liberal about it is all, and remember to leave monitor (if any) off when you're not around.

This changed with no warning (version 3) and the new combination of class+card+chip returned by the boot probe didn't map to anything. Driver modules weren't automatically loaded, and in-kernel drivers didn't recognize the card.

Re: How to choose an UPS?
Usually, if you are willing to interface the UPS with your Computer, like it should automatically shutdown the computer when there's a power failure, then you may want to buy one with USB support. But I am not sure that you can interface it with FreeBSD. It can be done with Linux and Windows. :) Check out the port sysutils/apcupsd According to the documentation on the project's website http://www.apcupsd.com, it works with both USB and with a serial cable. I've seen other people on this list reporting that it works with both of those solutions. For a network solution, you can also check the sysutils/nut port which also has a USB driver.

You might be able to resolve this by updating your pkg database, e.g.: pkgdb -fu If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else to tell you, although I don't see that it's really hurting anything. If/when you decide to upgrade OOo (2.04 is available), you could do: portupgrade -f -O -o editors/openoffice.org-2 openoffice.org That would force an upgrade using the specified origin.

FreeBSD VPS providers
Hello, I am looking to move a website i run from its current provider (linux based shared box) to a VPS solution.

acpi and boot problem
Hi I've installed freebsd 6.1 on an old pc on which I've configured several services. Everything worked fine since last week when the motherboard died. I've replaced the mobo and found that now the acpi could work (with the old motherboard the installation disabled the acpi at boot since the mainboard was blacklisted). Since the old mobo was blacklisted the options on the menu were 1 default 2 boot with acpi Now I would like to have the acpi enabled by default at boot time on the beastie menu. 1 default 2 boot without acpi reading the man of loader.conf I've added hint.acpi.0.disabled=0 and now the pc boots with with acpi enabled but without having the correct options in the boot menu. How I could fix the menu? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I verified that the if_re.c file is being compiled / included in the kernel. The LINT config for 5.3 _does_not_ include device re which I find strange.

Re: How to go about diagnosing cause of packet loss
Hi, How quick I sometimes find answers after posting these types of questions. I've discovered that if ipaudit is shutdown (the promiscuous data gathering filter), the packet loss is very low. Once it starts up again at the half hour, the packet loss returns. Is there any strategy for dealing with this. I've heard of putting ipaudit on a second machine on a hub outside the firewall. But this is for a medium to large institution, so it would have to be something that can survive significant bandwidth. --Donald On 11/28/06, D G Teed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howdy, Lately we have been seeing increased packet loss on our gateway/firewall.

ping through ipfw giving unexpected results
I am running ping.exe from a Windows 2003 Server machine through FreeBSD 4.8 running ipfw, to another Windows server. With plr=0, I get no ping failures at all, and with ipfw at its defaults I get no successes, so I'm pretty sure the network is good. I configured ipfw with various packet loss rates (call it X) in one direction, _zero loss_ in the other direction. Then I ran ping for several hundred cycles. This should be sending an ICMP echo request (with X prob. of loss), and an echo reply (which should always get through). Therefore, I would expect to see a ping failure probability of X. I tried this at plr's from 0.002 up to 0.47, and did the math: ping is failing exactly (allowing for statistical variation) 1.500 times more than expected. This is too unlikely to be chance, so I figure the nice round fraction of additional failures is due to something I don't yet understand. Can anyone explain this result? Thanks.

Sounds like your rules are also being applied to the ICMP response, as well?

Re: Fwd: Problem with first run of 6.1
Thanks a lot! Its obvious. I will try it at night. I wanted create a slice for /etc/ because i pretend have more security with the configurations files of services if the system crash. But there others ways to do this.

What to do for automatic /etc/fstab... , i tried install this version since setember and ever i quit. Someone can help me please. Thanks! How do you propose the system mounts /etc before it can read /etc/fstab? /etc should *always* share the same slice as /. Thanks, Joe -- -- Fernando J.

Re: ssh over http
Got one! http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/sshwebproxy/ allot of vendors are now encapsulating their application protocols in http... eg. citrix ica, exchange server mapi, msn messenger, there is even a project to provide access to fileshares with samba over ssl see: http://www.sslbridge.com/ Even with web services, http has become more of a transport protocol than an app protocol. there was a product from Wall Data a long time ago that did tn5250 over http but I havent seen any open source projects that did this.

Re: FreeBSD VPS providers

You clearly had not done your homework before asking. I mean you didn't even say what you need and why you need it; so the first response mused that you can't need that. Anyway, I understand you're not satisfied with my reply - sincerest apologies for that. Here's a better (longer) one: I expect you to have no difficulties in setting up an ssh tunnel over http with connect method, supported by most proxies. However, this method is filtered on most of them to prevent the very thing we're talking about (plus a thousand of other types of tunnels). I'm not sure a solution for ssh over plain http (without connect) is readily available, but certainly there's nothing impossible about it. To be fully compliant, you'll have to use pure pull model, i.e. send a request for every packet you expect to get. That means a lot of requests and huge round-trip-time, but that's what you get for harassing protocols. I'll leave it at that for now :-) Please don't top-post.

Do you really mean 305 GB drive? ^^ It depends some on your CPU and the speed of the drive. My guess would be in the range of 15 minutes or so. It has to write all the alternate superblocks. I haven't studied it, but I have always wondered if it is necessary to have so many alternate superblocks. You can, of course, bsdlabel* and newfs without touching sysinstall. I have not played with it tons, but I suspect that the number of alternate superblocks is dependant on the -b flag to newfs. I remember running into a (or what seemed a) rather conservative maximum for this value, 65536, I seem to recall. If you are primarily going to be writing very large files, like tar files, there should be no harm in having a very large block size and sparse inodes, though changing it might require a wipe and a newfs, should you decide to make the disk your databse storage for a couple million 1k files. *I am just now reading man gpt, and let me tell you, I am both frightened and a bit confused. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
