Re: allow ftp access, not shell access
Thanks, I had caught that one but is there anything else I should do for the sake of security? Ray You could use a server like pureftpd with virtual users. In that case you don't even need to have shell users for ftp access.

Re: Why is sysinstall considered end-of-life?
On Tuesday 09 January 2007 08:21, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: 3) The largest complaint about sysinstall is that it's not graphical. The problem is that a graphical installation program has some -severe- constraints on it. First, it has to work in ALL instances. That means, 640x480x16 colors VGA screen. You have a lot of people out there installing on systems that have, for example, monitors with inadequate horizontal/vertical frequency ranges and very capabable video cards, unless you force the X-server to use the original VGA resolution, it's going to overdrive those monitors and the user is going to see a black screen when the installation program comes up. And the only way FreeBSD is going to get a graphical anything is by using Xorg, and FreeBSD does not maintain that distribution - so we are now dependent on the Xorg group writing their code with no bugs for our installation program to work. While I admit that sysinstall could be polished at the rough edges, I vote for a non-graphical installer for server aimed installations. I see no practical reason to have an X based installer for a server installation at all, with all the heavy stuff that's necessary for it. Please leave that to the desktop oriented BSD distributions. I wonder how many server admins would like to see an X based installer. I rather would propose a clear distinction (communicated to new users) between desktop aimed distributions and server based ones, where the first category would be the current distribution of FreeBSD, with a nice graphical installer, a window manager, drivers for most sound, usb, wireless and video devices, and desktop applications added to it. I am not familiar with desktopBSD and Freesbie, but I can imagine that these are already working in that direction. (I am using FreeBSD-current as a desktop OS on a laptop, but it required some days of tweaking to get sound, touchpad usb mouse, 1280x800 resolution and wireless networking running.)

Re: tools for network traffic accounting
Thanks, also to all others who answered this question. I found out that setting 'set loginterface if' in pf.conf makes it possible to get transfer statistics from pfctl -si. Maybe it is of interest for other beginners like me. regds, Niek Philip Hallstrom wrote: I would like to configure a monthly report of the incoming and outgoing amount of traffic on the network interface of my server, for instance in the monthly run output. Can I do this with a built in program of FreeBSD 6.0 or do I need a port? If you just wanted a total count and run ipfw (or any firewall i imagine) you could simply add a rule to count all inbound and outbound packets then at the end of the month look at them, then zero them. It could be automated...

freebsd-update vs. make buildworld
Hi experts, Due to the recent security issue regarding openssl, I have to update a server running 6_release. I was wondering if updating using binaries using the freebsd-update utility is a viable alternative to recompiling the world. What would you recommend?

Re: How does useradd determine the default mailbox/maildir location for new users
Hi Lowell, thanks for the clarification. I'll have a look at the adduser script and probably make my own version.

Hmm, yes. My question is, where is this behavior of useradd configured? It isn't. It appears to be hardwired into pw(8), which is the basic tool around which adduser(8) is built. I cannot find this in the handbook. There is no /etc/useradd.conf neither an /etc/pw.conf on my system and also the contents of /usr/share/skel do not seem to make a difference. And none of those are documented to do anything of the sort. I think you should just write your own wrapper. You could write it as a wrapper for adduser, or you could make your own version of adduser (which is just a shell script). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
