What are the errors presented before that? It sounds like it can't mount the kernel floppy image for whatever reason. I'd have to suggest that you've try other floppy disk drives and disks to rule out those as points of failure. Also think of the drive that you used to make the floppy diskettes. Since floppies rely on an magnetic medium, with heads to record a stream of data across the surface, certain types of alignment issues can occur. Think of this like a cassette tape recording that sounds fine in your stereo at home but has a horrible hissing sound in your car. Or even the white 'noise' with rented video cassettes, where one must adjust the 'tracking'. I wouldn't give up on this yet but certainly try other floppy drives in both ends and different diskettes. You could even try using the *same* floppy disk drive to make the floppy disks in another computer and re-transplant it back into the target machine. I hope these suggestions help! - -- Chris Slothouber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -=- Mercenary Sysadmin BIZ: http://www.hier7.com -=- building.better.ideas PGP: 7A83 F021 5AC3 4BD7 6738 21D8 B348 0B16 79C0 C27F -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGTMRSs0gLFnnAwn8RAgFZAKDUvCzvIuZKpLXwEYvmUuI10lSrNgCgkQL3 eiUTouaydZ/4Ymu0mFr7nRM= =RSJX -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Samba does have some performance issues out of the box (see Solon Luigi Lutz's thread from 04-10, similar situation but a little bit more later in the game). I believe there are a few tuning options for Samba<->FreeBSD that might be appropriate, esp. wrt. multi-threading CIFS. Google seems to show a lot of hits for that.

Hi James, As far as being able to easily create articles, create a book, and publish to a website, IMHO Apple OSX's ease-of-use and seamless design takes the cake. All new Macs (including the iMac) come with a very easy to use (and powerful) set of applications called 'iLife'. Included is the 'iWeb' application, which makes the task of creating and updating an attractive web space quite simple. More information on this 'iWeb' app can be found here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/ On top of this, a 30-day trial for the 'iWork' bundle, which includes a word processor/desktop publishing app called 'Pages' and presentation software called 'Keynote' (basically PowerPoint on steroids, this is what Al Gore used to create his much-ballyhooed 'PowerPoint' presentation with). If you want to keep using it, it's only $79 (versus $200+ for the basic MS Office Suite for Windows). Pretty good value for software that fuses simplicity and power. It can also import all of your old MS Word documents without too much fuss. Here's some info on that: http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/ I really don't mean to sound like I work for Apple, but since everyone has given the opensource/FreeBSD side of your questions a fairly good beating, I thought I'd present the other end of your email a fair treatment. All of this can be done very well on FreeBSD (or Linux, or Windows) just the same, but as far as what you're asking, OSX truly does make the whole job a heck of a lot easier, without sacrificing much functionality. I hope this information helps! - - Chris - -- Chris Slothouber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -=- Mercenary Sysadmin BIZ: http://www.hier7.com -=- building.better.ideas PGP: 7A83 F021 5AC3 4BD7 6738 21D8 B348 0B16 79C0 C27F -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGMwJks0gLFnnAwn8RAr2AAJ45Eh92jVzp4hDnZj9+82FoIaJlTACeMT7O zCmBRFqiOuFBbpFHGXz8aOo= =lyJs -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Starting a service on boot
Perhaps you could put a debug point in the script to ensure it is being started (e.g. touch a file or echo something to the terminal), and if it is indeed being run by rc, move the point until you find out where it's breaking?

Unfortunately, although running the script directly as root starts it up just fine, it's not starting at boot time. I've found documentation that says there are two basic steps to follow: 1) Create a script named, say, 'foo' starting the program, place it in /etc/rc.d/, and make sure it satisfies a few minimal requirements (see script below). 2) Edit rc.conf to add "foo_enable=YES" so the init system knows to start the new program.

Re: Fwd: IPF (ftp - pkg_add) help requested
Ahh, totally makes sense.
Sorry for the misguided reply, it was late and I thought there had been
kernel changes with ipf in 6.2 but in fact that was ipfw.
Glad to hear you figured this out!

Apart from up dating to newer version, I don't see how upgrading to
6.2 will make a difference. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to
reply.
However, the solution is as follows.
Incidentally, this had nothing to do with pkg_add
And everything to do with FTP and IPFILTER.

My server was opening an additional session using ports > 1024, which
I was not initially allowing. ipf was blocking outbound due to this
rule. This is a known issue with ftp client sessions using active mode
when behind a firewall.
# Block and Log the first occurance of everything else
block out log first quick on em0 all
Solution

section 26.5.21.1 IPNAT Rules {or}
section 26.5.21.2 IPNAT FTP Filter Rules
I chose 26.5.21.2 for simplicity. This proabably isn't a major issue
for me, since the server will be located behind a border (LAN)
firewall. Basically changed:
# Allow ftp out
pass out quick on em0 proto tcp from any to any port = 20 flags S keep
state
pass out quick on em0 proto tcp from any to any port = 21 flags S keep
state
{ to...}
# Allow ftp out
pass out quick on em0 proto tcp from any to any port = 21 flags S keep
state
pass out quick on em0 proto tcp from any to any port > 1024 flags S keep
state
{ and added }
#Allow Active mode data channel from ftp server
pass in quick on em0 proto tcp from any to any port = 20 flags S keep state

Yes, actually, it is. -a I think it would then serve the interests of the FreeBSD community to establish a long-term file distribution plan that includes a proven peer to peer system, like torrent. It really wouldn't take that much effort, and any bandwidth necessary for seeding, especially initial seeding, could be re-allocated out of what is already being used for direct downloads. Since torrent is a rather widely-accepted means of downloading and clients are available for pretty much every platform, it could become the primary vector for distributing large binaries (such as ISOs) that put a sustained burden on the donated mirrors. Direct downloads could still be offered for these files for compatibility's sake, albeit at a reduced rate, using shaping or whatever else. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Nothing is stopping you from setting up your own torrent server on a big fast pipe that everyone else can use, and not pay you for.
