Re: virus scan programs
If so, could you describe the Unix/BSD approach to locating and eradicating these invaders of one's hard drive? If the issue is already explained in either printed literature, or posted at a world wide web site, it is sufficient to cite the location. Many thanks for your response. There are extremely few known viruses that affect any BSD systems. Occasionally, issues are found with other software, such as the Apache Web Server, or Sendmail, or ??. Also, occasionally, actual real people attempt illegal access of such systems. They should be called crackers, although some people still use the antithetical term that starts with a h instead of a cr. Since you are in the government, I'd simply suggest hunting these people down and killing them. ;-) #man kill Remember that PID 1 is you :-) If you are talking about using FreeBSD to protect users of that other Operating System from Redmond, here's a good article: http://bsdatwork.com/reviews.php?op=showcontentid=1 Perhaps a bit dated, but should get you going in the right direction.

Re: converting internet addresses
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 12:00 PM Subject: converting internet addresses Dear BSD enthusiast, Greetings. I am a newcomer to the BSD/Unix world. See below. My question is this: What is the difference between what I am telling the DNS server and outgoing gateway router to do when I enter into my browser address box 'http://www.bsdcon.kwiki.org' and when I enter into my browser address box 'http://bsdcon.kwiki.org'? No difference whatsoever, as you may have noted that both hostnames resolve to the same IP address. Likely they are different folders on the same server. This would be an example of name based virtual hosting, which is possible since the implementation of HTTP 1.1 The server recognizes the browser's request by name (bsdcon.kwiki.org) and serves from the web folder configured to receive that request. www.bsdcon.kwiki.org sends you to some other folder in the same way, or perhaps it is unconfigured and sends you instead to the 'default' folder at that site. Seems unusual that it would be in DNS and not specifically configured, but that's a possibility. My place of employment is a large agency with thousands of client machines. Yeah, the California Dept of Transportation. OK. Most of the clients use Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional operating system. Most of the servers use either Novell operating system, or I.B.M. Domino operating system. You said that already, too. I feel sorry for them, maybe ;-) Nonetheless, welcome to the world of FreeBSD.

Now the problem. I have 6 active databases. How can i make sure that i dont loose those. And that when i have re-installed, that they work immediatilly ?? The databases are in /var/db/mysql The smartest thing would be to do (as root user): mysqladmin -u YourUsername -p shutdown cd /var/db/mysql tar cvfz MyDatabases.tgz * mv MyDatabases.tgz /home/ That will stop your database server, and save all your data in your /home/ dir. Then, when you want to restore them, IF they're not there after a new install, just do: cd /var/db/mysql rm * tar xvfz /home/MyDatabases.tgz There is also mysqldump with complete instructions at the mysql.com website. IIRC, it creates SQL language files that would be used to entirely recreate the database from the commandline once the new server is up running.

Re: Private Home network
Mr. Hale Did you ever get any real help with this? My thought: are you telling the interface to use DHCP in /etc/rc.conf? For example, for the RealTek 8139 family of NICs, the following should be in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP The 'rl0' would vary to another driver name for another type of NIC. If I understood your original question correctly, you desire the FBSD box to grab its own configuration data from the router for your LAN interface --- I think that ought to do it.
