Re: FreeBSD and hardware??
Guys, stephen jackson wrote: I have read briefly on FreeBSD and it seems to be the winner on speed and stability versus Linux and of course MS Windows. [ ... ] Can we play cool with each other? If someone likes/has to use Gnu/Linux over FreeBSD or for that matter any other operating system, maybe its their choice; If someone finds FreeBSD runs well compared to Gnu/Linux, could they just point to the right benchmark on the web or post their personal benchmark here and be done with it? :) My point being that we could all be doing something really productive right now instead of discussing about all these. Don't you guys think so? Relax fellas. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe, for shirt purposes, just distill that down to its essence: Here's a nickel, kid. Get yourself a better computer. Yeah that was my thought as well. :P) It could also be modified a bit: Here's a nickel, kid. Blank CDs are cheap. Get yourself a better operating system. LMAO. This ones nice as well. Power corrupts. The command line corrupts absolutely. . . . or, altneratively: Power corrupts. Unix corrupts absolutely. Both are nice. Cracked me up. Heres another one by Scott - If you have trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. -Scott Adams -- en0f ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Script-friendly (parseble) ps(1) output?
Marian Hettwer wrote: [ .. ] I wouldn't do that. IIRC procfs(5) is deprecated in FreeBSD. But I could be wrong... Just wanted to point out since discussion of procfs came up - I think this was FreeBSD6.2 IIRC, I had to mount /proc manually for a Java application to work because the code was implemented in Linux using JDK1.5 and a day came when our app had to run on FreeBSD =:-P). I still remember we had a heck of time trying to find a solution! This could probably help some poor little bugger searching for solution in the future. -- en0f ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DHCP and MAC addresses

I have used dnsmasq on Slackware Linux. It is a combined DNS/DHCP server that works well on small private networks. I don't know if it runs on BSD. Same here. I've used it on DebianUbuntu without any problem on home network and as Bob mentioned it talks both DNS and DHCP. -- en0f ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: restrict gnome desktop user.
joeb wrote: How do it configure gnome to restrict users to their home directory? I don't want them to be able see any system directories or other users? Dont know about gnome per se but you can use chroot/jails to restrict users to see only stuffs you want them to see for any environment. Just build the chroot and copy over the gnome-specific binaries to its chrooted-equivalent (copy or link /usr/bin/gnome-panel to /home/chrooted/johndoe/usr/bin/gnome-panel). I do not know of any tools that does this automatically and also I do not know how gdm will work out. e.g - Normal /home/johndoe/ | |___ .bashrc |___ .sig chrooted /home/chroot/johndoe/ | |__ bin/ |__ usr/ -- en0f ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
