I need to traffic shape a remote box that runs IPF, and I
have taken the time to learn to use IPFW with dummynet,
and also that I can run IPFW wide open as IPF is the firewall.

I just took over a FreeBSD box and there is a
proftpd.sh script in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory.
There is also this entry in /etc/rc.conf:
proftpd_enable="YES"
There is no need for entries in /etc/rc.conf
if the script exists in /usr/local/etc/rc.d right?

I just learned how to upgrade my ports to get the

I have read it can take up lots of memory and CPU.
Comments?

Hi,
I have an old FreeBSD 4.10 stable box that is running the
default Bind 8 and "was" the primary DNS server.
I have a new FreeBSD 4.10 stable box that is running
Bind 9 and "is now" the primary DNS server.
The new IP address has been registered with the registar
and all is well on the new box.

I can't do a "make reinstall" because I did the "clean" and
