I have recently decided to use some extra disk space on one of my servers as backup space. I have NF client and Servers running OK, but was wondering how secure it really is. In the nfsd setup, we specify what clients are allowed to connect, by simply useing the host name. So if in my nfsd configuration, I specify a host called 'ahab' for example, how does the nfsd authenticate this host, and how secure is it? I am not certain, but I believe it simply checks the IP-address to see if a host is allowed to connect. As for security, NFS is well-known for *NOT* being secure. Do not use NFS over networks where you don't trust all the machines. What should you use instead of NFS? I like the fact that I can open up a window and throw some files to my server. Maybe, something can be accessed through a firewall?

Just run grub from the commandline, and you'll be dropped in the same interactive environment you will enter upon booting when you have no grub.conf (or grub cannot find it). The commands you can enter here, are the same as in the grub.conf. The first thing you have to do is copy the stagefiles from /usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd/ to a directory called /boot in either of your partitions (Grub can read many filesystems, including UFS, FAT and NTFS). Also put your grub.conf in that directory. Then start grub from the commandline, so you'll get the Grub-prompt. If your boot-directory is on your Windows-drive (C:\BOOT), then you must enter root (hd0,0) (the Windows-slice), if it is on FreeBSD, then use root (hd0,1,a) (your root-partition on FreeBSD). Grub will then check if the necessary files are there, and tell you if not. If the files are indeed there, you can install the stage1 into the MBR with setup (hd0). Stage1 is just a pointer to stage2 (which actually contains Grub), but that one is too big to fit inside the MBR, so it must be on one of your filesystems (in the /boot directory, so that the stage1 can find it). You could also install Grub into a partition (e.g. setup (hd0,1)), but that way Grub will not show up at boot, only when you explicitly chainload that partition (using another bootloader e.g. FreeBSD's). P.S. 1: the grub.conf file is completely optional, so Grub will not complain if it's not there, you will simply be dropped at the Grub- commandline at your next reboot. There you could enter the exact same commands as in the config-file, e.g. root (hd0,1,a) and kernel /boot/loader to boot FreeBSD. But you'll have to confirm with the command boot. P.S. 2: The Grub-commandline provides tab-completion for both devices and files. So, to see all your partitions (and their filesystem-types), you could enter ( + Tab. GH Thanks for the help, I think I will be able to get it working now, after that information. The only question I have or comment is. Shouldn't I have the stages and grub.conf in /boot/grub ? You said /boot. Just wondering which it is. Thanks again..

I've been using Opera for a long time and I simply can't tolerate any other browsers. The feature set it provides is so expansive that other browsers will seem utterly gutted in comparison.

Same idea here. 3] The default interface is not for everyone. Just realize that the interface is highly configurable so don't let it turn you off if it's not to your liking. --roop Just curious, but which version of flash are you using with Opera?

I got linux-opera installed and working. Then I installed linux-flashplugin-7.0r25, and opera shows it in its plugin list, but when I go to view a flash site, the flash is a blank area. I no longer get the message telling me I haven't got flash installed. hello again, well, jsyk, the flash plugin doesn't work 100% of the time. so far, i haven't bumped into too many problematic sites, however ymwv. please send me the URL you're visiting. i'll give it a whirl on my end and let you know what kind of results i get. if it doesn't work on my end, we'll probably both have to wait for the next version of flash from macromedia (not opera's fault and should give the same poor results in firefox, moz, galeon, etc). if it does work on my end, i'll help you to determine the problem as best i can. ep http://www.mlcompany.net is the url Hmm..

Gnome installing Mozilla by default
Hello, When I install the Gnome port, it installs Mozilla 1.6 as default. I guess Epiphany 1.2.6 uses it. I have a few questions: 1) How do I get Epiphany to not use Mozilla and what performance hit will I take for doing this, if any? 2) If Epiphany doesn't use mozilla, then what does it use? 3) Mozilla seems to be a system resource hog. At least this version that is installed. I just need a browser that is fasssttt, doesn't mess up the fonts, and is capable of viewing flash? I don't need all that other stuff mozilla installs, such as, the email client, etc.. Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem restarts
On Sun, 2004-06-27 at 19:44, Mark Terribile wrote: Hi, I'm having a problem with spontaneous restarts. This isn't a new problem, but I've done the obvious things and the problem hasn't gone away. I was thinking of asking on -hackers, but I'm trying here first. The system is a 4.8 with a mix of patches and port upgrades of various ages. I'm planning to rebuild the whole thing, bringing it up to date, but I'm hoping to be able to wait for a 5.x in STABLE; I don't want to do this twice, since I expect I'll have to dump and restore everything. The hardware is a 2.6 GHz P4 with 2 GByte of GEIL dual-channel memory. (The problem existed on the previous, somewhat slower, memory as well.) The box contains the processor and motherboard (Gigabyte GA-SINXP1394), two floppy drives, CD and CD/W drives, an HP DAT, three IBM/Hitachi 36G/10K SCSI drives, and one 120G IDE. The SCSI card is by Adaptec; the video card is a low-end NVidia, and I'm running their video driver. The PS is an Antec True380, which should be enough for the box, with something to spare. There are several extra, large fans, of which more later. The system, monitor, printer, and cable modem are all powered through an APC BACK-UPS 450, about 18 months old. It's shown in the last week that it can keep things up for more than an hour. The symptom is a restart that leaves no indication of how it happened. Recently, the system shut down (completely, and at the power supply) instead of restarting. In that case, the last deliberate shutdown was a `shutdown -h now'; it appears that in every other case, the last deliberate shutdown was a `-r now'. (Question: does the machine architecture have settings for reset-resume .vs. reset-halt, settings that might be remembered when a later action occurs?) It has subsequently shut down with an immediate restart. There are no failure indications in the /var/log/messages, nor reported by dmesg. (The console scrolls by very quickly.) The message sequence over the restart typically looks like this: === Jun 7 18:39:09 moleend /kernel: arp: 24.228.64.1 moved from 00:05:00:e7:17:44 t o 00:05:00:e7:17:57 on em0 Jun 7 18:39:09 moleend /kernel: arp: 24.228.64.1 moved from 00:05:00:e7:17:57 t o 00:05:00:e7:17:44 on em0 Jun 7 18:59:06 moleend dhclient: New Network Number: 24.228.64.0 Jun 7 18:59:06 moleend dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 255.255.255.255 Jun 7 22:47:33 moleend /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

It most often occurs when the system is under heavy CPU load, but sometimes when the load has been light. I thought at one time it might be a thermal problem and undertook to fix that. (I am still working to get more cooling air over the disks.) Right now, I have 120 mm fans rated at 130-135 CFM (Panaflow and JMC) pushing air in and out of the box, and pressurizing a duct feeding the CPU cooler, which is now cool to the touch. The memory modules are cool to the touch. While the disks need a proper plenum to route more air over them, I no longer believe that there is a thermal problem. The vid card's fan-blown heatsink is warm (not hot) to the touch; the northbridge's fan-blown heatsink is warm (not hot) to the touch. (Some people commute to white-collar jobs in heavy pickups; I drive a small server as my PC. No chrome pipes.) So: what should I do next? Should I set the system up to go to the kernel debugger on panic, or even start it via the kernel debugger? (Where is the full documentation?) Should I shell out for an even bigger power supply? Is there another log that I should examine? A restart wire that I should check? A power bus I should scope? (I'll have to borrow a scope somewhere.) Is it time for an exorcist? Thanks for your help. Mark Terribile Mark In my opinion this is a thermal problem. I have seen this before in some of my systems. Mainly has to do witht he processors not cooling well enough. Try opening the cases up and leaving the the covers off for a temp solution. Are you over clocking?

I'm currently up to 72 days uptime since I last updated the system, and we had a machine that got to 698 days here at work .. we had to move buildings and thus shut it down..) for the last question the file you want is /var/run/dmesg.boot which is the boot output from the most recent boot.

Hey everyone, I have noticed that my system isn't as fast as the windows gui is. Probably has to do with Gnome and GTK 2.0 issues. Is there anything I can do, to increase system wide performance? Either harddrive access time, or gui performance when running multiple apps? - Bruce - ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Transfering Files
I have two computer systems. 1 windows 2k system where I do web development work, specifically php development. The other system is a FBSD headless system that I control via ssh, from my windows system. The FBSD system is my local webserver where I do my testing before transfering to another server. My question is this. What is the best way to get my files from my windows system over to the FBSD webserver. FTP? Samba? or someting else? Also, I want to make this webserver a file server wher I can save my downloads and mp3's. Not sure what which direction to go with these two tasks?

Connecting to a headless system
I have installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 using the headless install method. My problem is this. I can't get the login prompt when connecting using cu -l /dev/cuaa0, after the install /reboot. I did setup ssh, but I can't connect using ssh and root. I did not setup another account, so I have to get in and install an account. I did get single user up, but I have limited commands and it won't allow me to adduser.?? When I boot up under default, it just holds at the date and time. Please help? Or any ideas of what I should be doing differently.

When I #cu -l /dev/cuaao/ I see the boot process, but it gets to the date prompt but doesn't show the login: i did install ssh, but won't let me login with the password I set for root.
