As far as I am aware, FreeBSD contains considerable amount of code ported from OpenBSD. The question is: was the FreeBSD's ipsec code ported from OpenBSD's implementation? If so, what might be the impact of this?

Re: IPFW and Fail2Ban

In fact, documentation on Fail2Ban seems rather sparse to begin with. In any case, does Fail2Ban work with the IPFW firewall on FreeBSD? Does it do it natively, or does it require a special configuration? I presently have 'denyhost' up and running. If I get Fail2Ban working correctly, I assume I can remove 'denyhost'. Again, I am assuming that the two program would interact badly with each other. -- Carmel carmel...@hotmail.com |=== |=== |=== |=== | Your fault - core dumped ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org Yes it works with freebsd.

Re: 8.0 installation doesn't contain X distributions
all I gotta say is I just spent 3 days compiling gnome2 for fbsd.. It shouldn't take that long or be that hard/complicated. Most of it was stupid crap that I would of thought should of been taken care of by now. Applications complaining about which version of python is installed, complaining about needing newer versions of this or that and stopping the process. Than off to find the proper port to install (and having to use FORCE PKG REGISTER) to appease the original install. Back to the gnome install let it run again until the next application configuration screen. You can't just do a make config in the meta port for the entire process.. That would be too easy.. Last time I did a Xorg installed I just ended up doing a pkg_add because I grew tired of the problems I kept having with ports griping about this and that being outdated or whatever. This time I wanted to see the process through and figure I might learn a thing or two. I digress though... My intention with fbsd wasn't for a desktop though; but why install linux to get a feel for X(org) when we can do it on fbsd? Yet why should it feel like I'm a circus poodle trying to make it work?

I think this is taking base-system-only installation purity to excess. Imagine the following situation: A user wants to run Linux applications on FreeBSD. He selects the Linux ABI service for startup via sysinstall. The corresponding _enable setting will be added to rc.conf, and - surprise! - a package will be installed. The same thing happens when a user installs X. Of course, X is not part of the base system, but in the same way that sysinstall (down)loads and installs packages when a specific service is selected, it should act the same way for X. I know that X has become a problematic and very complex thing, not just a few packages (as it was in the past with XFree86). X should be installabe in a manner made easy, just like the Linux ABI. In the case of X, you and I, developers and most people here know to hunt for the Xorg meta-port. The average user intending to run a desktop system won't be happy with compiling stuff... Exactly. Most desktop users want a working system in the minimum of time (Can't blame them for that). Even with packages, we cannot beat an image-based distro, esp. since it will also provide all essential default settings. But the naive or new installer knows of no such thing, and could beat around in the huge lists of X software for ages, wondering what's required and what's not to get a desktop going. Therefore, I always liked the choice for X in sysinstall: It basically installed all the components to get X up and running. No big trouble getting the correct xorg-driver-* packages, installing and removing them, the xorg-input-* packages with the same story... There is an X.org meta-package that installs everything though. It is just a problem with the beginner not knowing what to select. This can be tackled in two ways IMO, first is by creating a First time FreeBSD desktop installer type article, second would be adding a menu choice in sysinstall Install a standard X desktop {GNOME,KDE}. I must admit I much prefer the first solution. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: One USB drive boots, the other doesn't...
from what I understand it's widely known there is not a standard for implementing USB bios boot. I can take a flash drive make it bootable with grub4dos and my board will not see it. Take that same drive implement normal grub or syslinux and my board will now boot that flash drive. Take that bootable flash drive put it in another board and that board won't boot it unless you change the boot option to USB floppy... It could just be the board doesn't like the new drive you are using now. I could be wrong on all this but that is how I understand it as of now.. You might be able to make a work around by booting to a dos environment and load USB drivers. That is unfamiliar territory to me and probably not a work around you wish to use. reply to list please reply to is a spam catch.
