Using lftp (from the ports tree) requires nothing more that an FTP server at the remote end (i.e. the ISP). It can "mirror" in both directions, i.e. client -> server and server -> client. -- Kelvin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Logging is sent to stderr, you might need to pipe it to a file.

Just in case you don't manage to find the appropriate text...
You'll need to create (in this instance) an /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
script. An excerpt from mine is below, you'll need to create your own
"update_ddns" function to update your DynDNS entry.
if test "$reason" = "RENEW" || test "$reason" = "BOUND"; then
# The old lease has been renewed or the interface is being re-bound.
if test "$old_ip_address" != "$new_ip_address"; then
# IP address has changed -- update DDNS entry.
update_ddns
fi
fi
Hope it helps.

Re: Should sudo be used?

If not, why? I personally don't use sudo. From my perspective the only real advantage to using it is that it is possible to provide a fine-grained access to limited functions that would normally only be available to the root account. Thus, if you require more than one "normal" account to perform some aspect of system maintenance it is possible to do this via the sudoers file. As I'm the sole maintainer of /my/ systems I don't feel the need to utilize sudo. Instead I have a separate local account on each system added to the wheel group and use that to su to the root account to perform system maintainance. Therefore, I don't use my normal everyday account when performing system maintainance. -- kelvin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You won't be able to write to the CD partition of this flash drive. Smart isn't supported under *nix so the functionality it provides isn't available to FreeBSD users. I have one of these devices myself and simply removed the Smart partition to reclaim the space it takes up. -- Kelvin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In the source file "cursor.c" there is a function "CheckForEmptyMask" within this function if you set "bits->emptyMask = TRUE" the cursor won't appear. Caveat: I did this myself, but it's couple of years ago now.
