Re: FreeBSD 6.2 Release

Dear Sirs, I just wanted to ask you since FreeBSD 6.2 is going to be released, sooner or later I will be forced to upgrade my system from 6.1 to 6.2. Well my question goes like this: what is the best way for me to do it? By downloading the ISO images or by doing it with cvsup stable-supfile? Wai

Good question; not sure about that one, since the BIOS may or may not count the EIDE channels as 0 and 1, and the SATA as 2 and 3. Needless to say, this little numbering scheme with grub has become confusing, esp with the introduction of new technology (SATA) >.>. Not sure how numbering would work

Hmm, I don't see a recursive option either. You should be able to set ACL on files in a direcotry with `setfacl -m *`, and pipe that through 'find -type:d` and xargs to do an entire directory tree. I got it with this on my server for /etc: # cd /etc # setfacl -m u:rsync_ssh:r,g:rsync_ssh:r `

Hi all, I'm simply trying to set ACLs on a few directories but don't see an option to recursively apply this to the whole directory's contents. Does applying the ACL to a directory inherently apply it to all other files and folders within the directory? I've browsed the man page and handbook but
