gdm-autologin not working properly
Hello folks. I'v set up gdm-autologin at /etc/pam.d/ and done everything as told in faq ( http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q23 ) It asks for user to pass in, is this normal behavior.. because i expected that when i fire up my computer, it automatically logs in and starts gnome session.. as windows does naturally.. am i missing something here or does freebsd faq mislead me? *(gdm)* FILE: /etc/pam.d/gdm clip--- # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/pam.d/gdm,v 1.7 2003/04/30 21:57:54 markm Exp $ # # PAM configuration for the gdm service # # auth auth required pam_nologin.so no_warn #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass # account #account required pam_krb5.so account required pam_unix.so # session #session optional pam_ssh.so session required pam_permit.so ---clip- *(gdm-autologin)* FILE: /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin ---clip- auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_permit.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_permit.so --clip- *(custom.conf)* gdm's config-file: FILE: /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf --clip [security] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=lasse --clip- i'm running FreeBSD 6.1 with fresh install and i got gnome 2.16.2 binarys from GNOME Tinderbox.. as told on section 21. at same FAQ help needed.. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mini-Freebsd system on ram, to reduce noise?
Hello, fellow FreeBSD-users. I'm planning to build MiniBSD (from freebsd) with, these instructions: https://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html i'v red it few times and came to realize, that if i could get that small FreeBSD why wouldnt i run it in RAM? I have Intel 333 Mhz / 256 sdram / 10Gb hd.. and few nics. i could boot up system and then move it into ram, lets say that i'd create 128 Mb size of memorydisk in ram. All data will be wiped during reboot, but i'll keep the original image on harddisk, which will shutdown until all system-files are moved into RAM.. Is this anyway possible? It would reduce noise-level here in my livingroom, so thats all i need, beside NAT/Firewall :) all suggestions are considered, but monowall or picobsd are no options, because i need to learn it myself rather than go'n buy setup how do i create memorybased filesystem? mdconfig -t malloc -s 128m -u 5 newfs -U /dev/md5 mount /dev/md5 / dd if=/mnt/ad0 of=/ umount /mnt/ad0 (drop the harddisk) -- something like that? thanks, for reading :) Greetings Lars --- | Anonymous said... | so what. | why is glory in the real world better than the glory in a fake one? | evolution made us to survive, not to live. - ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Mini-Freebsd system on ram, to reduce noise?
snip That's not exactly the answer you're seeking here... but for the sake of people searching the archives: Contrary to popular belief, HDDs are not always the biggest noise makers, unless they're very old. The fans transmitting vibrations to the PC case are usually the worse culprits. I'm using a fanless EPIA-5000 (VIA C3) mini-ATX board with an attached Samsmung HDD in my living room. The disk, despite being the only source of noise and over 2 1/2 years old, is barely audible. In fact, the head seeking is the loudest and it's still barely a whisper. That's ideal for a very silent server/desktop PC and is also a good power saver. Of course all HDDs do get louder over time; but with the right kind of enclosure and dampening suspensions (a.k.a. ribbon bands), it's still very quiet. Regards, -cpghost - snip Yes, with money could by ultimate uber-silent computer, but my goal is to go with what i have and try to get best of freebsd :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wlan on lowend laptop
i have a litlle problem with all these wires running here and there in my flat, and as i got a woman living here with me.. i cant stand her complaining about those ugly wires allover the house. One beautiful day, i decided to get involved with wlan. But this one linux-dude said that my p233mmx/64ram couldnt run wlan. I dont know if he ment WAP/WEP-encryption as he couldnt be any spesific and that got me thinking if he even knows anything. My setup these days is following: 1Ghz/256ddr (Desktop mahcine, with ssh Xforwarding) via 10Mbit LAN, and my laptop just happens to get a lot faster when i run all apps on that desktop-pc. My desktop is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and laptop has NetBSD 3.0 with standalone X few apps just to survive if my desktop-pc is down. I'm planning to change into FreeNX if it gives any advantage, but that would require to replace my laptop with freebsd as it is my favorite OS that has FreeNX client. Is it possible to keep up with this setup with changin all the wires with wireless-future. If WAP/WEP is the problem, couldn i just leave it out and use IPsec, or ssh instead? Or is WAP/WEP mandatory, or is it just enough if i set tight firewall-rules on both ends of wlan with IPsec, so no one could intrude into my system. If all goes well, my next sted would be to include one windows-pc also.. and that would need firewall for local wlan-crackers but somehow i dont believe that as a minor threat :) Lasse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wlan on lowend laptop
Security is no problem to me, but the problem that i'm most worried is my budjet. If my laptop cant run wlan (for some weird reason that linux guy couldnt even name) so all the effort would be worthless. 2006/5/7, albi [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Lars Udo wrote: My desktop is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and laptop has NetBSD 3.0 with standalone X few apps just to survive if my desktop-pc is down.

FreeNX uses ssh already, and you can enable SSL in it also, so it sounds to me that it's a matter of restricting access from and to your wireless (ip-address/mac-address e.g.) (if you're really paranoid : WEP is cracked already, and certain setups of WPA are also not so secure :-) -- grtjs, albi gpg-key: lynx -dump http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc | gpg --import ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My P200/32mB RAM with 6.0-RELEASE acts as an AP or a client with WEP, WPA, etc with no issues. Thanks for your opinion :) I dont know if he ment WAP/WEP-encryption as he couldnt be any spesific and that got me thinking if he even knows anything. My setup these days is following: 1Ghz/256ddr (Desktop mahcine, with ssh Xforwarding) via 10Mbit LAN, and my laptop just happens to get a lot faster when i run all apps on that desktop-pc. Good idea, does it lag at all? I'm thinking of configuring that. Yes it lags a little, but nothing compared for opera running natively on laptop. Normally, websites renders pic by pic.. but with this configuration, it all just jumps on the screen instantly after short period time of 'thinkin' which is about 1sec. I think that 100Mbit would be a great improvement. My desktop is FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and laptop has NetBSD 3.0 with standalone X few apps just to survive if my desktop-pc is down.

Depends if you live around people or in the middle of nowhere. The latter is the case for me, so I don't worry about security. If all goes well, my next sted would be to include one windows-pc also.. and that would need firewall for local wlan-crackers but somehow i dont believe that as a minor threat :) It'd be fine, you just need proper firewalls, anti-virus, etc. Lasse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
