It's in ports, see ports/comms/conserver ports/comms/conserver-com If not, you will have to look for a way to set up someting like the following: - automatic login on local machine (as an unprivileged user) - automatic connection to remote host (perhaps via .profile or somesuch Hmm, there is an 'autologin' entry in my /etc/gettytab, and gettytab(5) explains about the 'al' capability. This allows you to to autologin as a specified user, at least. There is also the 'lo' capability, which controls the program to execute once a name is obtained, usually '/usr/bin/login'. I don't know it it is possible to change this into, say ssh and have the teminal automatically connect to another machine.

serial terminal direct connection to remote host at login
Hi, i have some 4.10 systems with local connected serial terminals. now the problem is, that the terminal should connect to a remote host when they are switched on and prompt for the login at the romote host. the way of loging in at the local host and then do a telnet to remote-host is not a real good solution, because all users have to enter their password twice and furthermore all users have to be created on the local system with the terminals too. is there any way to hardwire the terminal to a remote host? i already searched all of the ttys aso man pages, but had no luck findig a solution. many thanks, best regards, karl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In this case the swap would start with offset 0 as > "b". Sounds fine. In the past there have been troubles with old BIOSes not booting from root partitions that were located "far" on the disk (>2G I believe). I don't think that limitation exists anymore, but keep it in mind. Other than that, FreeBSD will be happy. > this is my exiting layout on /dev/da0s1 > > a: 10485760 10485760 that's /root > b: 10485760 0 swap > c: 1433639970 > d: 20911520 20911520 /home > e: 14680064 41943040 /tmp > f: 14680064 56623104 /var > g: 72060829 71303168 /usr/local > > > and this is what I would lay it as on the /dev/mirror/gm0s1 > > |-|-|-|---|||| > 16 swap /root /home /tmp /var /usr/local > > > > a: 10485760 (10485760 + 16) that's /root > b: (10485760 - 16) 16 swap > c: 1433639970 > d: 20911520 20911520 /home > e: 14680064 41943040 /tmp > f: 14680064 56623104 /var > g: 72060829 71303168 /usr/local > > in this case the swap would be offset by those 16?? Yes, I would definitely offset things by 16 sectors. I don't really know what's stored there but you don't lose much and it probably makes sense. Also keep in mind that you need to make sure that /dev/ad0s1 does NOT cover the ENTIRE disk, but rather leaves a few sectors spare at the end. This is to make sure that gmirror does not confuse /dev/ad0 and /dev/ad0s1 as providers for the mirror (it stores it's metadata in the last sector). All of this is described in the article, although maybe not very clear. Note also that by default, FreeBSD leaves a few sectors spare when runnign fdisk, so it's not an issue most of the time unless you 'dangerously dedicate' your disks.
