Re: ipfw enable firewall not working
On Mon, 22 Mar 2004, Byron Schlemmer wrote: I'm having a problem enabling the ipfw firewall on RELENG-4.9 boxes cvsuped and installed today. Basically ipfw enable firewall leaves net.inet.ip.fw.enable set to 0 and the ipfw counters are not changing when I do a ipfw show, so the firewall is definitely not being loaded. Anyone else see this? Anyone have a fix? I have OPTIONS IPFW2 in the kernel and it's set to deny by default. You need firewall_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf Ciao, Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: for understanding correctly -- Up-to-date - Upgread ..
When I want to upgread to new release when it available Which way is true to that ; Binary Update Mechanism to move from release to release ( using freebsd-update-1.4 ports is correct or Do you know any ports ) or Using New release CD and using sysinstall program ... Maybe wrong, but I think FreeBSD Update is for security updates only - not for updating from release to release. sysinstall Upgrade should work.

Re: upgrading 4.8 to 4.9 question....
On Thu, 27 Nov 2003, Dragoncrest wrote: Mergemaster is definately one way to do it, but I prefer Portupgrade. It's much simpler as far as I'm concerned and does as good a job as mergemaster with less thinking involved on the part of the user. :) Confusion! Mergemaster and portupgrade are very different tools. Just CVsup your ports, then do portupgrade -r -all, then walk away and let it run. If you want to do a single port, just do portupgrade -r portname Regular use of the ports system requires some maintenance - it's not just CVSup portupgrade, for example: 1. CVSup 2. portsdb -Uu 3. pkgdb -F 4. portinstall or portupgrade 5. pkgdb -F Ciao, Mark Weinem ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Jeff! On Sun, 23 Nov 2003, Jeff Bogari wrote: It's time to upgrade to 4.9-RELEASE. Here's what I've got so far: 1. Set the options in sysinstall to retrieve 4.9-RELEASE instead of 4.7-RELEASE 2. Used sysinstall to download the 4.9-RELEASE data via FTP Did you really perform the binary upgrade procedure as described here: /stand/sysinstall - Doc - Install - 3 Upgrading FreeBSD, http://www.defcon1.org/binaryhowto2.html or http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/2002/08/Features33.html Must I set kern_security level 0 before I begin? No. Maybe a problem with your upgrade or your dated hardware Or should I lean on the second process to make it work? What are the first and the second?
