Two password prompts with 'su'
All, Recently my machine (FreeBSD) started showing 2 password prompts when using su. The first password seems to suffice, then hitting 'enter' on the second one lets me in. Any ideas what is going on? While I was writing this, it occurred to me that it may have something to do with Winbindd and nsswitch.conf.(?) ### Contents of nsswitch.conf ### passwd: files winbind group: files winbind ### End ### Thanks, Justin ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
iSCSI (revisited?)
All, I was wondering what people thought of iSCSI and FreeBSD. Is it a viable option for creating SANs? I want to move away from tape backups, and have numerous production FreeBSD machines that I need to back up data from. Any other ideas for a disk to disk backup solution that people have used?

Supported SATA Cards
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, I was looking into getting an Adaptec 2410SA SATA (Serial ATA RAID card). I just wanted to ensure this is supported by FreeBSD. I looked at the hardware list, and there is a card listed under the aac driver as a SCSI device, but with the 2410SA designation. Is this the same card?
