Hi all,
I have a very good setup on a server that I would like to clone to a brand new
server, and an existing server.
My plan is dependant on two things, feel free to comment on them if I am
missing something:

Hi all,
Being going blind again looking for an answer to a seemingly simple question.
I had a hung pop3 process (port 110), and killed it.
netstat still shows 3 connections in the FIN_WAIT_2 state.

102150 0 count ip from 1.2.3.4 to any via em0
in my ipfw rules, will the rules also count what is sent from those IPs to the
localhost (127.0.0.1).?
((I am guessing NO, but wanted a second opinion).
Hi all,
I know that if I dump a filesystem (lets say a full dump), that everything says
the restore filesystem needs to be at least as big as the one the dump was made
from.
But I dare ask this question anyway ...

Hi all,
I have a number of servers that use SCSI drives.
I purchased a 'Star Teck' SCSI controller (PCI Bus Connection), about a year
ago.
Some research shows that this controller is an 'Initio PCISCSIU2W" controller.
I have found out yesterday that none of the drivers loaded in the GENERIC
