How do I know the kernel has not become corrupted? Actually, as I think about it, I should probably rebuild the kernel anyway to work with packet filters. Here are my notes from the last time I updated:
/usr/src/UPDATING and /usr/src/Makefile? I'm not sure what I mean by the above, but should I use the Makefile and not UPDATING? synch your source to 6.2 How? And is this necessary since it's already at 6.2? cvsup -g -L 2 supfile cd /usr/src make clean;make cleanworld make buildworld cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ # back up any custom config there is cp GENERIC BACKUP_CONFIG cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL # use this from now on! make installkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL # use this from now on! # Note: LOCAL is a copy of GENERIC in the same folder (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) # with changes for pf as follows: # # Packet Filters # device pf # device pflog # device pfsync # options ALTQ # options ALTQ_CBQ # Class Bases Queuing (CBQ) # options ALTQ_RED # Random Early Detection (RED) # options ALTQ_RIO # RED In/Out # options ALTQ_HFSC # Hierarchical Packet Scheduler (HFSC) # options ALTQ_PRIQ # Priority Queuing (PRIQ) sh /etc/rc.shutdown # kills all your services pkill sendmail pkill syslogd mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster reboot /usr/local/bin/portmanager -u -f -l -y make delete-old-libs What happens if my internet connection dies when I'm doing this? Will I still be able to SSH into my box? TIA, Drew ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
