 Hi Martes,
 
 I have tried the first two interfaces which are said to be supported by 
 FreeBSD, they do not work. Surprisingly, now I choose the option Intel 
 PRO/1000 T Server and in NAT mode, it works now
 Thank you so much, you do me a great favor!! Hope this also works for Chris!

In most cases it is better to use bridge mode. In NAT mode your VM get a
private subnet and other devices in your network can't find your VM,
because the VM is behind (or encapsulated in) your HOST (as like as your
HOST is behind your router to the internet). This can work if you define
routes, but bridging is mostly easier.

In Bridge mode your VM acts like any other machine in your network and
will get an IP-Adress from your DHCP server (if you use DHCP).

Re: Directory Encryption?

 What is a good tool to encrypt a directory?  I need an application
 that is also readily available for Apple OSX, and that does not get
 mangled when transferring via rsync.

How about openssl'?

Encrypt a TARed directory:

$ tar cjf - /path/to/source/folder | \
openssl enc -e -bf -out OUTFILE.tgz.enc -pass pass:MYSILLYPASS


Decrypt:

$ openssl enc -d -bf   \
 -in OUTFILE.tgz.enc   \
 -out OUTFILE.tgz  \
 -pass pass:MYSILLYPASS

There are also ways to encrypt with keys, see manpage.

The semicolon behind do isn't necessary.

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and windows client ?

 Hello
 
 Is there a simple software to share files between a FreeBSD server and a 
 windows client other than Samba which is a bit overkill for my needings,
 
 I just want to share a directory (and subdirectories) of my server with 
 ONE Windows client, to facilitate some files exchanges between two users.

I would guess WinSCP (I think it's based on Putty, THE ssh client for
windows) or Filezilla (FTP, SFTP) will fit your needs. If you want more
integration like connecting shares to driveletters take a look at
DokanSSHFS at http://dokan-dev.net/en/

Re: AFP Client in FreeBSD

 Well I am using the dump command, and I am not sure if I want to dump
 to the same partition that I am backing up.
 
 Can I use rsync to pipe the dump output via ssh?

rsync works on files, dump on filesystems.

If you want to use dump, the fine FreeBSD manuals says:

# /sbin/dump -0uan -f - /usr |  \
gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish   \
targetu...@targetmachine.example.com\
dd of=/mybigfiles/dump-usr-l0.gz

man ssh for setting up authentication with keys.

On the mac, you must enable remote login under Systempanel - Sharing
- Services if I remember correctly.

Re: Booting freebsd 7.1 from Firewire or USB2 drive

 Hey guys,
 
 I was wondering if anyone had any success in installing FreeBSD 7.1 on a
 USB2 or Firewire 800 drive connected to an intel Mac Mini and
 successfully booting off of it?

If I remember right, enable the Open Firmware prompt to boot to other
devices than internal disks; or in target mode (pressing T), or boot
from CD (press C)!

That may help:

Didn't checked that. If you solve this, please share. ;)

Re: eps to jpg conversion - which program?

 I need to convert eps files into jpeg files in batch mode. Gimp works
 perfectly, except that I cannot use an X display. I tried eps2png with
 no success:

 TIFF starts at byte 566917 length 4741
 %eps2png -jpg -width 1000 -verbose -output test.jpg test.eps
 Producing jpg (jpeg) image.
 Not EPS file: test.eps, skipped
 
 What port should I use to convert EPS into JPG? I would like to use a
 program that shares the same library with Gimp, because we know that
 Gimp works great for this task.

Take a look on GhostScript, a PostScript interpreter.
