There were a lot of games for 8 bit consoles when I was about 8 years old :) and believe me, they were and still are amaizing. There is no such experience as playing the whole night Tanks with a friend getting to the last level or so. There were a lot of Mario* games, Load runner was one of my favouries too, there is a port in games: Path: /usr/ports/games/xscavenger Info: A Lode Runner clone for X11 I beleive I haven`t tried that one though. Btw Contra was one of the best shooting games for those boxes. As I said there are to many games for those old boxes, that you can play with the mame emulator. You can also try with some windows games on windows or using the wine emulator (the P-III won`t be fast enough for emulation). StartCraft* is one of my favouries (runs with the wine emulator under FreeBSD). There are some games in ports like xjewels (super cool tetris game as far as I remember), xboing is good too. In the end I should say: install as more games as you can and give your son the chance to choose what to play :) a lot of games is always good, one can always find at least one that he can play the whole day long. Having less games is somehow limiting. -- This correspondence is strictly confidential.

Hi Ariff :)
I haven't had the problem since.But i decided to check with fstat...and I was
amazed at the number of file descriptors (to /dev/[sound_related]) that skype
keeps open.
I use skype extensively, both for chat + voice. I've had skype running for over
12 hours, probably 24 hours (my uptime says 1 day 21 hours...so maybe as long
as that). When I run your command, I got 2700+ entries - all but 2 were
skype's! You can see it for yourself at
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype_12hrs+.txt
I then shut down skype :
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/b4skype.txt
And opened it again, waited it to log in and go another snapshot:
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype.txt (no changes really).
I then did a test call to the skype test call bot, while the call was running i
got:
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call.txt
which is , i suppose, ok... but AFTER the call, I still had several entries
left over:
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call_finished.txt
Is this normal / expected?
Thanks again for all your help.

parental control with squid and dansguardian
hi, Thank you all for your comments re FreeBSD as a parental control and gateway server. I have both squid and dansguardian working and I am left with configuring them to optimize web browsing and the desired level of control. I do not yet have FreeBSD functioning as a real gateway as I will be able to do it at a later stage. However, there is one thing that leaves me wondering. In order to use the content filtering as provided by Dansguardian, I need to configure the browser to look for proxy on port 8080. Now, if someone just changes the port in their browser to 3128 (squid proxy port), then all content filtering will be bypassed. What do I need to do in order to avoid someone escaping the control? I am also wondering how I should bring pf into the picture? I haven't tried yet as the box is behind a router firewall anyway but I would appreciate your comments how to marry squid dansguardian with pf. Thank you very much in advance!

6.2-REL booting from USB to install
Hello, I've some server (a 2 years old HP NAT 1000s storage system) and I want to drop the installed W2k system and re-install it with FreeBSD 6.2R and later use it as a central backup-system with Bacula. The problem is that this server has no CD or DVD device, but can (theoretically) boot from external USB CD/DVD (which I too don't have). So I came up with the idea to put a 6.2-REL install CD onto an USB stick (960KByte), based on what Martin figured out in detail and described here: http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22 The boot works fine in some notebook (in some other with USB 2.0 the BTX panics) but in the above mentioned HP box is says: error 1 lba 752976 No /boot/loader FreBSD/x86 Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/loader boot: Any idea about: - Why BTX panics with USB 2.0? - Why it says 'No /boot/loader' in the other box?

What do I need to do in order to avoid someone escaping the control? I am
also wondering how I should bring pf into the picture? I haven't tried yet
as the box is behind a router firewall anyway but I would appreciate your
comments how to marry squid dansguardian with pf.
You can use pf's redirection to catch all outbound traffic destined for
port 80:
rdr on $int_if inet proto tcp from $internal_net to !me port www -
$proxy_host port $proxy_port
Define the macros appropriately in /etc/pf.conf and you're away.
me is a pf table that contains all the firewall machine's addresses:
table me persist { self }
Any packets originating from your internal network, bound for port 80 on
any host other than the firewall (you may need to fine tune this,
depending on your needs), are redirected to the designated host/port. No
need to set up per-client proxies as the firewall handles it transparently.
Make sure squid is built with SQUID_PF=1 (from make config). There are
some settings in squid.conf you may need to tweak - there's plenty of
documentation on their website.
Transparent proxying requires no client configuration, but it also means
that proxy authentication won't work, because as far as the client is
concerned, it is talking to an end server, not a proxy. If this is a
concern, then you can just set up your clients to explicitly look for
the proxy, and tighten up your firewall rules so that altering the proxy
settings might bypass the proxy/filter, but will also get any web
traffic blocked at the firewall. They'll soon go back to using the
supplied proxy settings!
I'm not sure about automatic proxy config, as I've never used it. It is
not, though, a type of transparent proxying, which is run entirely on
the firewall/proxy hosts, without any knowledge of it on the part of the
client.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Re: FreeBSD 6.2 Repeating Crash - Sleeping thread; Fatal trap 12: page fault; warning: 'T2' might be used uninitialized - SOLUTION
We finally determined the root of this problem. One of the system's memory
modules was apparently going bad. When it failed permanently, the system
crashed and would not reboot. We swapped out the memory (all Regsistered
memory) and have not had problems since.
Thanks to the list for the efforts!
WB
(Below is a reply drafted a long while back - included mostly to thank
Beto...the rest of it is no longer relevant.)
Thank you very much for your reply, Beto.
I appreciate your point re: drive age. I only mentioned it because I had
stated the age of the server at 5 years and hoped to forestall suggestions
that an older drive might be likely to have issues. However, I did follow
your suggestion and smartctl reports the drive to be in good health.
I misspoke - we did not upgrade, really, but did a fresh install of 6.1 on
the new drive and manually copied all user files, databases, PERL scripts,
etc. to the new drive. We had been running 4.7 and, since there was not a
direct route for upgrading, we did it the hard way.
Your advice re: copying renaming GENERIC is well taken - that is, in fact,
exactly what we did. Further, as advised in the manual, we moved it from
/usr/src to a different directory and created a sym link to avoid
inadvertently overwriting it. We did not rename the ident line, but it seems
unlikely that that oversight would prevent the kernel from making.
Were any of the errors described familiar?

Worth,
that doesnt mean much - drives can (and do) fail anyway. I suggest you run
smartctl ( sysutils/smartmontools ) to run tests on your drive and ensure
you
don't have any actual problems with it
btw, you don't mention from what version you had upgraded to 6.1. Did you
do a
full world upgrade as well as kernel?
from your previous email, you ended up having some kernel build problems.
1) it is good practise to rename your kernel file (and ident line inside
it)
from GENERIC once you've modified it. It makes it obvious to see whether
you
are truly running the same GENERIC as everyone else.
2) make sure you have the latest and proper code for your line of src you
need
(eg, -STABLE , or RELEASE-p5 ,etc). You should use cvsup for this. If you
need
them, the default config files are in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ .

I seem to be able to mount these under NetBSD though the snapshot code complains that inodes 64 and 16384 are not dedicated to snapshots. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
