Which Laptop for FreeBSD
Hello all, i would like to buy a new Laptop in the very near future, and of course it has to run my favourite OS. I have never searched for a Laptop, and now that i did i am overwhelmed with the confusing variety of different Brands and Models. One of the big Questions i am having is; Should i look for a 64 bit Laptop or better not? I am just not sure wheter or not 64bit will come trough this year on Laptops, and how well is it (and will it be) supported by FreeBSD. I know that there are some Internet Sites which try to maintain some data about linux / unix on laptops, but i found them to be quite outdated. I am looking for a Workstation replacement kind of Laptop, and it must have a DVI out for my Monitor. I kind of would like to go with 64bit, since its supposedly the future, if this isnt quite the time for 64bit Laptops yet, please someone educate me. If there is anyone out there, that can recommend a new Laptop (Price is not an issue) that runs FreeBSD nicely, please let me know, i would most appreciate it.

Re: Regain control of keyboard
i have had the exact same thing when running portupgrade -ra on my freebsd 6.0 amd64, but nothing would help except to power reboot the computer. i tried pluggin in and out the usb keyboard, tried a ps2 keyboard. the only thing i couldnt try if i can connect to it still via ssh. if i couldnt, i would say the machine was frozen. Malcolm Fitzgerald wrote: Some days ago I type "portupgrade -a" on a machine which had just got a clean install of FreeBSD v6, with gnome, kde, sound, graphics, etc. In other words, a desktop plaything. Every other hour or so process would stop at on options screen and wait for my input. Recently it has stopped accepting input from the keyboard. The mouse is still active.

IPFW and PF
Hi all, IPFW seems to be the same IPFW that is used on MacOSX, so it seems to make sense to learn and lean on IPFW when using in a mixed Machine Environment. On the other side, many People seem to say PF is easier to manage once a setup gets complicated. As usual, both sides have their own valid points. My question though is not whether any of the two , IPFW of PF is better then the other, but which of the two do you use, and why?

NIC not coming up when Ethernet Cable is replugged
Hello all, i am having a strange Problem, which was more apparent under FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.0, but still happens to me under 6.1, on different machines with different NIC`s. Basically when during the day something happens to my Machines Network Connection, for example someone pulls out the Cable, when it is re-plugged in, sometimes it doesn't become active anymore. It doesn't says No Carrier under ifconfig, but the Machine cannot be pinged and also cannot ping another host. Restarting the Machine is no help.Helping is logging in as root, and issuing a ifconfig vr0 down followed by a ifconfig vr0 up. Then there is a console message saying vr0: Using force reset command. After that everything works again as usual. For some machines this is a real problem for me because they dont have Keyboard Mouse or Monitor, and i cant get in remotely.

Making a PF Rule that i can process with a graphing application

Zabbix Port out of Date
Hello all, i am using Zabbix, which is similar to Nagios for those who dont know, to monitor important Servers and Devices in my Network. The Zabbix Version in the Ports is 1.1.1, and it has numerous show- stopping Bugs in it. Fortunately Zabbix 1.1.3 is released which fixes a great many of them. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem the Zabbix Version in the Ports is going to get updated. I have send the Port- maintainer two E-Mails with long breaks between them from two different Mail Accounts, but there isn't a response.

This comes up every year or so on the various discussion lists, everyone bashes sysinstall and claims it makes FreeBSD look bad and when are we going to get a replacement, etc. The arguments die away when faced with the following cold realities: 1) You can probably get consensus from everyone that sysinstall is ugly and needs replacement. But your never going to get any consensus on what the replaement should look like. And any replacement is going to have places where the user cannot know what it's going to do next, that is just the nature of install programs - it is due to the fact that different people interpret things differently. What is obvious to you isn't obvious to someone else. And, when is the install program going to cross the line between acting as a install program and acting as a training video? Review the steps needed to install a self-signed SSL certificate into Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, and then come back and tell me that those steps are more intuitive than sysinstall. Yeah, right. Face the facts, boys. Every year, computers get more complex to operate, and every year, the Average User is paying more and more to have a tech set the computer up for them. Open your eyes and look around. People think nothing of paying $30 to have a tech install Microsoft Office on their new Windows PC for God's sake. Who really is sysinstall's audience? The average l-user? Or the average technician? If it's the average tech, then who the hell cares how ugly sysinstall is? You think sysinstall is bad, you ought to see the diagnostic interface the average auto mechanic has to use to troubleshoot your car. If you are not the ultimate end-user for the FreeBSD system your installing, then you don't have any moral ground to make a call for pussifying the FreeBSD install program. I can tell you that for myself, every FreeBSD system I've installed in the last year and a half has been for OTHERS to use, NOT ME. 2) There's an immense amount of effort that has gone into sysinstall and it's libraries. Your talking about taking on an old, established program that is pretty throughly debugged, a program that is like an octopus in the amount of icky, ugly mucking around with config files and such that it does, and replacing this with a new program that is going to have all of the intelligence and institutional knowledge in it that the old program does. And furthermore if this replacement is to ever get traction among the userbase it's going to have to work PERFECTLY in the FIRST version that is released, otherwise everyone is just going to turn their back on it and keep using the existing sysinstall. 3) The largest complaint about sysinstall is that it's not graphical. The problem is that a graphical installation program has some -severe- constraints on it. First, it has to work in ALL instances. That means, 640x480x16 colors VGA screen. You have a lot of people out there installing on systems that have, for example, monitors with inadequate horizontal/vertical frequency ranges and very capabable video cards, unless you force the X-server to use the original VGA resolution, it's going to overdrive those monitors and the user is going to see a black screen when the installation program comes up. And the only way FreeBSD is going to get a graphical anything is by using Xorg, and FreeBSD does not maintain that distribution - so we are now dependent on the Xorg group writing their code with no bugs for our installation program to work. 4) Installation programs by and large are not "fun" programs to work on. Most developers avoid them. They are thankless ta
Loosing Ethernet Connectivity
Hello all, every once in a while i have a machine (6.1) that out of the blue, sometimes after days, some after 6 months, looses Ethernet Connectivity. My Machines just run some Service, and have no Keyboard / Mouse or Monitor. When the Machine goes down, eg, i am unable to ping it from another Machine on the Network, even restarting the machine using "reboot" will not fix the Problem. The only way to fix it is to login as root, and issue a "ifconfig vr0 down && ifconfig vr0 up". Then a dmesg Message appears : "vr0: Using force reset command.", and after that i can successfully ping the machine again. I have had this Problem on different machines with different Network Cards, on different Ethernet Cables, and with FreeBSD Versions 5.5 until 6.1. Can anyone please help me to understand and possibly even fix this Problem?

Re: Loosing Ethernet Connectivity
Hey, sure, i can do a script which does the up-down when it cant ping the router or something, but to be honest i think that is not a production solution. cheap nic..maybe, some of the nics in question where onboard ones, which are not the best ones out there, but others, such as the 3COM 3c90b5 Fast Etherlink XL PCI, is that also a shitty one? I also have a tried a simple D-LINK and a Realtek one. It seems that under a certain condition FreeBSD just shuts down its Networking, and if thats true i wonder if that can be done remotely, that would not be cool.

When something is frequently erratic, suspect software. But your problem looks like intermittent hardware. I have observed that the LAN will be marked down if you boot without it connected. Then if you connect the LAN and click a web bookmark, it will recover automatically without human intervention. CAT5 LAN cables with RJ45 plugs are not very robust. And people tend to handle them carelessly... stepping on them, tripping over them etc. They are usually single strand copper which can break inside the insulation with frequent flexing. The RJ45 plugs have poor strain relief such that the outer insulation pulls out of the plug creating another failure point. So for vexing problems like yours, I would examine the hardware very closely.

QEMU Windows and X forwarding
Hello, my Goal is to setup a FreeBSD Server that hosts about 5 Images of (licensed) Windows XP, which i made either using QEMU or Win4BSD. Those Images then i want to make accessible to old Macintosh PowerPC Machines, so the Users can access one or two Applications that only run under Windows XP. I would like to know from anyone in a similar situation how to accomplish this best. Currently, I pretty much have it setup for myself, so when i open X11 on my PowerPC Machine, and type in ssh -X server_address windows_xp , i do get an instance of Windows XP on my PowerPC Machine. The trouble here for now is server and network performance. I would like to know if anyone of you has any suggestions for me on how i can make the network load as little as possible. I read that freenx is offering really good responsiveness, but unfortunately it is marked as broken on my System using FreeBSD Version 6.3.

I'm running SpamAssassin and spamass-milter. They seem to do an okay job. While I run (and like) this combination myself, there are at least two caveats of which one ought to be aware: 1) spamd (part of SpamAssassin) is written in perl. This is fine for a workstation, not so much for a high-volume mail server. This is because SpamAssassin is CPU and memory intensive. High- volume, I wouldn't see running on anything less than a dual 2.8ghz with a bare minimum of 4gig ram (8 would be better). 2) installing spamass-milter requires rebuilding sendmail.
