I'm not sure this can be done, but if you're looking for something to monitor 
the health of your drives there are a number of utilities available that use 
the "S.M.A.R.T." feature built into most current hard drives. In general, 
these utilities will help you predict failure of your HDD.

Here's one such tool:

Its not totally obvious, but to connect to the 3dmd2, you need to talk

https://127.0.0.1
and not

Thanks for the tip... but still didn't work.  I have set the port to 80,

It surprises me that as you imply that you have been around the Internet
for a long time that you don't know that OP stands for Original Poster.

No, the PR author said that 5.3 "works OK".  He said that only 4.10 doesen't
work
with the NEW E7520 chipset but that 4.9 works with the OLD E7520 chipset.
The implication is that 5.3 works fine on BOTH the NEW and the OLD
chipset.

Note also that the PR in question was filed OCTOBER 12 which was fully
a MONTH before 5.3 was actually released.  Thus the person filing the
PR was running a BETA version of 5.3.

Boris Spirialitious is the poster that said that, and he WASN'T the one
who filed PR i386/72579.  Boris did NOT say WHAT version of 5.3 he was
running - was it RELEASE or an earlier beta?  Nor did he post results
of any testing program that showed a speed difference.

PR's that are NOT filed well are going to be ignored.  Please, read the
following:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/article.
html

Here's a list of things that both Boris and the PR author (and the person
posting a followup to the PR) HAVEN'T done:

1) Boris hasn't posted a followup to the PR explaing what he's seeing.
2) Missing exact versions of FreeBSD in both cases
3) Missing model# of Boris's motherboard.
3a) Poster of followup to PR hasn't included model# of his board.  He's also
using a
lame excuse for not running 5.3 but that's a side issue.
4) dmesg output from the 5.3 system that has the new E7520 chip and can't
run 4.10 is missing
5) dmesg output from 4.9 system that has the old E7520 chip and CAN run 4.X
is missing.
6) Identifying numbers off the E7520 chips or from the two machines BIOS are
missing
7) No posting of whether 4.11 RC runs on the new chipset or not

And overall in summary I have to say this - BOTH Boris and the author of
this PR
state that FreeBSD 5.3 runs on their motherboards, Boris says also that 4.10
runs
on his MB, the PR author says that 4.10 doesen't run on ONE of his
motherboards.
The PR author didn't even say he was having a problem with this, or why he
wanted to
run 4.X instead of 5.3 - although considering the PR was filed about a month
prior
to the release of 5.3 I'll assume the PR author just didn't want to run beta
code.
Only one followup poster to the PR complained about having to run 5.3.  And,
Boris complained.

The one followup post to the PR stated:  "We cannot run 5.x as it is
considered
insecure." which is IMHO a big pile of baloney - who considers it insecure
and why?

And Boris hasn't posted any of his slowness complaint to this PR, so the PR
lacks that.

Boris didn't say that 4.11 RC didn't work on his motherboard, he said 4.10
didn't
work.  How do you know 4.11 isn't going to work on this chipset when nobody
has
even tried it?  Why the heck do you think the release team even bothers with
RC releases to begin with?  It's so people like Boris can post their
showstopper
bugs.  Since that hasn't happened here, just a bunch of hand-waving bitching
in -questions, why do you even bother asking why nothing is happening?

This PR is kind of equivalent to someone posting
"My Windows 2000 operating system doesen't work on my new SuperMicro
motherboard
and I want Microsoft to fix it" when the SuperMicro motherboard in question
was designed and manufactured AFTER Windows 2K was released - although to
the
PR authors credit, he wasn't demanding that 4.10 be modified to work on his
hardware.  Perhaps we all should ask why it is OK for

The SS20 isn't an UltraSPARC, so it won't be supported by FreeBSD's

Hmm - interesting theory there - all you have to do to get software

Strange then that none of my servers that run FreeBSD have this chip.
Strange also that none of the developers have noticed this.

I wonder if this is because I look at the hardware recommendations
first - before buying hardware?  Like on places like 
http://www.testdrive.hp.com/   where I can actually log into HP
systems running FreeBSD and try it out myself?  Naww!

Is it possible that it's the most popular because it's the cheapest
low-end chipset out there, fit only for desktop systems running the
latest game from Id Software?   Naw!

At least in the United States retailers are held to a 30 day warranty
on products - if you buy one of these problematic motherboards and
find that FreeBSD doesen't run on it, then take it back and get
a different one.

pmap_enter Vs pmap_kenter_temporary

[Romil Shah]

   Hi,
I am using older ver of FreeBSD RELEGN4 , my system has 2200S Adaptec
RAID controller which uses aac driver and a swap device on raid disk. When
kernel panics , the control passes to the aac_disk_dump() function under
aac/aac_disk.c , where the dump get queued to controller . As i am using
older RELEGN4 aac driver uses pamp_enter rather than pmap_kenter_temporary ,
on calling the aac_dump_enqueue va is passed i.e. return value of
pmap_kenter_tmporary.(in new version)

If i am not wrong than va hold the location of RAM from where data needs to
be copied to swap device through the aac_dump_enqueue.

:( I am using old version so i have pmap_enter which return void .

Can you tell me the exact task that is done by pmap_enter Vs
pmap_kenter_temporary.
Can i use pmap_kenter_temporary in my older RELEGN4 (i cannot move to new
RELEGN4)

Thanks,
Romil Shah

Maybe not FreeBSD but both NetBSD and Solaris work very well on the 
Sparc 20, and they're available for free.  (Well, actually if your SS20 
has more than one CPU, you'd have to get a commercial license for 
Solaris 9, and shouldn't use the free license, since that's only for one 
CPU but I mean, it's hardly stealing candies from little children, is

I used IMP a few years ago, and I found it complicated to set up. I use 
SqWebMail now. SqWebMail may be less elegant than SquirrelMail, but 
SqWebMail is far more efficient. It is written in C, and accesses 
Maildirs locally, not through an IMAP server. If Postfix does not 
support Maildirs, you couldn't use SqWebMail.

I have written a short tutorial on how to set up SqWebMail here (it is 
draft quality now): 
http://tabor.taborandtashell.net/serversetup/sqwebmail.html The 
installation is pretty straight forward (it is in ports), except the

Re: Hardware or OS problem? System Crashing...

[Anthony Atkielski]

I had a very similar problem over the holidays. After a power failure
over a month ago, I noticed some anomalies in FreeBSD, but they were
very insidious and didn't seem like hardware (and the system was on a
UPS plus a surge protector, so I didn't think the PF alone could have
done damage, unless the power cycled many times over a short period).
I'd get strange faults in programs from time to time, usually some type
of memory faults--usually in Apache (since it uses most of the processor
time), but sometimes in system programs that had never given trouble
before. As time passed, the system would occasionally freeze, or I would
even get kernel panics. There never seemed to be any information left
behind that could help me find out why the system was crashing (fault
type, processes running, etc.), and error messages in logs were scarce.
(If there is a way to debug FreeBSD crashes without running a kernel
specifically set up for the purpose, I'd like to know what it is.)

Anyway, I suspected a virus--I had seen a virus infection on the Web
server, but it had apparently never been activated because the firewall
prevented it from "calling home." FreeBSD had never faulted before, so
the OS was excluded (it would not _suddenly_ develop a bug). I
reinstalled everything just to see. It wasn't until I reinstalled and
upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 and got even more frequent mystery crashes that
I felt sure that hardware was causing a problem.

It turned out that (I think) something had been damaged before or during
the power failures. A motherboard failure earlier on had turned off the
CPU fan. The fan worked, but the MB had stopped powering it, so it
wasn't running. The AMD processor stayed cool enough to operate most of
the time because the system is very lightly loaded processor-wise.
However, at some point, something got the system into a tight loop, and
the processor reached something above 120° C (around 300° F at one
point, I think--I could _smell_ the system when I got into the room).
Amazingly, it still ran most of the time, but I think some part of the
virtual memory logic was damaged, because most of the mystery faults
were segment violations. The problem very gradually got worse, with the
OS faulting more and more often, until it eventually got so bad that it
would fault before the bootload completed.

I finally replaced the entire machine--this time with _seven_ fans, and
with an Intel processor that will simply shut down if it gets too hot,
instead of cooking itself to death. I also upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3, and
I updated all the other system software as well. There have been no
problems since ... except for a panic in sysinstall during the first
installation, which I think was an honest-to-goodness OS bug (it
happened only once, and reminded me vaguely of a similar problem on my
first installation of 4.3, years earlier). The gigabit Ethernet on the
MB doesn't work reliably under FreeBSD, though, so I just reinstalled
the 100 Mbps card from the old server, which works perfectly.

In summary, this was a hardware problem, but so subtle in the beginning
that it wasn't at all clear that hardware was at fault--for a long time
I suspected traces of a virus infection or something.

Obviously, running Linux would not have made any difference.  I did see
filesystem corruption after the panics, which was to be expected, but as
far as I know I never lost any actual data; fsck corrected the structure
errors each time (sometimes from single-user mode, since it wouldn't
always succeed in automatic checks).  No OS can guarantee against data
corruption on unreliable hardware, not even all-knowing, all-seeing
Linux.

Maybe you need a new sysadmin.

You need to install the linux-XFree860-libs port, which contains this
linux library (you can't use FreeBSD libraries with linux binaries and
vice versa).

dd works only and only if the source drive and the target drive are *exact*

You can very well upgrade it although upgrading a server remotely over ssh
or putty always has that extra bit of risk associated with it. I would not
recommend it unless you are old hands at the business.

I think you can do this with

For the  character, press ctrl-v and then esc

Three companies I know of use Squirrel: my work, my

They're all very fond of it, as am I. It does require
IMAP, but so does IMP.

At my friend's colo he also tried IMP but decided
against it because installation was more complicated
than Squirrel. I wasn't part of that project, so I
can't say what his issues were.

included in 5.3. (I have an atheros based PCI card in an athlon xp based
system).

I get the following error when loading the module ('kldload if_ath'
command):
...
ath0: could not map interrupt
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6

After that ifconfig fails tp 'up' the ath0 i/f ('does not exists').

The ATH(4) lists this error but just says it should never happen ;-)
The same card/madwifi driver works under linux.

Any help appreciated a lot - otherwise my FreeBSD venture will be rather
short lived.

Thanks a lot!

You need to install the linux-XFree860-libs port, which contains this
linux library (you can't use FreeBSD libraries with linux binaries and
vice versa).

p5-GDBM on FreeBSD 5.3

I use "emu webmail", which requires p5-GDBM, and a "make"
of this port on 5.3 reports:

I've used it successfully on 4.3 thru 4.9, but now with 5.3
it's broke.
This shortcoming is preventing my mail server migration

Is it possible to re-compile perl to "include" GDBM natively?
If so, how would I accomplish that?

In this case what's happened is I want to install a Perl package, and

if you're looking for single-path redundancy and not increased throughput, you
could use CARP (patches are here: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/CARP/).

the patches apply cleanly to 5.x, and seem to work just fine. if you need more
information, check the list archives.

good luck!

Re: my lame attempt at a shell script...

Ok all.
First off, thanks again for all the help you've offered thus far.  That 
being said, I'm having a problem with variables in a function.  The 
code I'm having a problem with is:

setup_loopback () {
${fwcmd} add ${rulenum1} pass all from any to any via lo0; 
${rulenum1}=`expr $rulenum1 + 50`
${fwcmd} add ${rulenum1} deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8; 
${rulenum1}=`expr $rulenum1 + 50`
${fwcmd} add ${rulenum1} deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any; 
${rulenum1}=`expr $rulenum1 + 50`
}

The output of this, when run, is:
00050 allow ip from any to any via lo0
50=100: not found
00050 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8

Interesting.  I had a similar problem with my 5150 18 months ago (see
http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jul2003.html#25 for details).  Is this
what you saw?

That sounds useful, indeed.

Don't trust memtest. I've seen it fail to identify faulty hardware in
this area.

FreeBSD does not crash because of bad files and I would be seriously
suspect of the admin that is trying to feed you this. That and he does
appear to be not concerned with it what so ever.

Yeah, in 4x a major file system  problem is a lot more likely to need
fsck manually ran than on 5x. 5x will boot and run a back ground fsck.
So you will still have network and ect.

The best way to test drive is this... run lots of transactions across
all parts of the disk for a rather nice amount of time. Smartmontools
is also aviable in the ports.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/smartmontools/pkg-descr

I would be suspect of nearly any possible chuck of the hardware in
that box. Since you've not listed any thing that would allow any piece
of hardware to be ruled out as a problem regardless of the OS being
used.

The places I would focus my attentions are the PSU, RAM, CPU, mother

I have an 1150 and it works great with RELENG_5 for me. I don't have the
version with the internal wireless though. I use the bfe (Broadcom BCM4401)
ethernet. No problems with that.

If you get one, go straight to Dell's support site and get the latest bios.
I had to do that before X would work. There have been a few bios updates and
my 1150 was shipped with an out-dated bios which I thought lacked attention
to detail by Dell when they build the machines to order in Malaysia.

I got a CD R/W and DVD R and that works fine. USB2.0 ports function well
as does sound. Whenever I watch videos, I choose to use the 1150 for that.

Obviously the winmodem doesn't work with FreeBSD. That's the only device
that isn't recognised during boot.

Once thing I really like about it is being able to set the bios to boot
via the ethernet port. That makes net-booting FreeBSD for driver development
a breeze.

I run RELENG_5 installed on the hard disk and net-boot to CURRENT. If I
remember correctly, it took me about 10 minutes to get XP off it and FreeBSD
on.

I assume you boot in single user mode. I would just reboot the machine again
and boot normally (multi-user mode) after you're finished with fsck and stuff.
Or you could just exit the shell and the system will continue to boot into 
multi-user mode.

Make sure your SCSI controller is supported by the driver you're using. If it 
is, it's probably a faulty disk.

Doesn't matter too much AFAIK. As long as you can access the disk properly.

This is possible, however you are always taking a chance when you

a habit out of pushing my luck with systems I have in front of me by 
going so far as to make installworld while using an xterm in X-windows. 
That said, if you ssh in, and shut down as many things as you can (web

stuck until you can actually get to the box, or unless someone

dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied

[Bob Hall]

I keep getting the message
dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied

I try 
sockstat | grep dhclient
and get
root dhclient   247   4  udp4   *:68  *:*
root dhclient   247   6  dgram  -> /var/run/log

I utter
psgrep dhclient
and get
root 247 0.0 1.0 1812 1284 ?? Ss 2:13PM 0:00.26 /sbin/dhclient rl0

I've tried setting up special rules in the firewall to catch the
dhclient packets, and the firewall doesn't seem to be stopping them. The
ipfw rules to pass the packets are
allow udp from any 68 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 67 out via rl0
allow udp from any 67 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 68 in via rl0
"ipfw show" doesn't register any packets even when dhclient is
complaining about not being able to send packets. 

I can get an IP address, no problem. From the messages log:
dhclient: New IP Address (rl0): 
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (rl0): 255.255.254.0
dhclient: New Broadcast Address (rl0): 
dhclient: New Routers: 
But even with this, I'm still getting the Permissin denied message.

The messages log also includes this:
dhclient: Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
dhclient: Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
dhclient: running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
dhclient: bootp in /etc/inetd.conf.   Also make sure you
dhclient: are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
dhclient: includes a bootp server.
In addition to the system generating these messages on its own, I can
also prod it into generating them by uttering 
dhclient rl0
I'm not running HP JetAdmin software, and the dhclient setup is
perfectly stock. I haven't installed any additional DHCP software. I'm
not running a DHCP server. The only DHCP configuration I've done is in
the rc.conf file:
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
I'm not using inetd.

This has been a problem starting with FBSD 4.4 through 4.8. and with my
current system, 5.2.1. I'll upgrade to 5.3 in a month or so when I have
the time, but the problem seems to occur on all versions.

I've searched the archives and Googled extensively, and I can find
messages from other people with the same problem, but I haven't found a
solution. 

It seems as though a second copy of dhclient is firing up and tryng to
bind to port 68, and getting blocked by the existing copy of dhclient. 
Anybody have a clue what's going on, or why that would be happening?

dhclient and diskless clients

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,
I am trying to setup diskless clients. The Handbook describes how to 
define special dhcp-options for swap and other variables, however these 
are not available, unless I use dhclient (compiling the kernel with 
option BOOTP only makes the hostname available).

If I try to start dhclient, I loose connection to the nfs server and 
hence my / (nfs mounted read-only) because dhclient resets the interface 
before getting a new lease, system hangs and I can only reboot. Is there

Re: ATi and Xorg Troubles in FreeBSD 5.3

[doug]

No magic and little more than the first sentence said:

   FYI - there is a work around for this. The vesa driver works okay. I just
   ran xorgconfig and added Mode and DefaultDepth statements. The driver seems
   kind of funky in that the screen is scrambled for a second or so and then
   seems to work okay.

My memory was that I just ran 'Xorg -configure' and changed the driver and
added the screen section. I included the file because a 'diff -u' with a left
over xorg.conf does not seem to bear that out. Still, that's all I did.

I am running xorg 6.7 using the vesa driver. At some point I intend to try 6.8
of xorg.  It appears the ati driver has been updated but information is a bit
difficult (at least for me) to come by from the Xorg site.

On my hardware, the vesa driver works pretty well, the only problems being the
default X fonts are not rendered as well, I can not use 1400x1050 resolution,
and the screen memory does not seem be handled as well as with the ati driver.
This later is not really a problem (for me) as it results in the screen from a
previous session appearing when xorg start after a reboot and some funky
patterns starting xdm.

Hope this helps.

I created a special user that logs directly into top.  I don't run
telnet or anything so login isn't possible from anywhere else, and it's
a plain user account with a good password.  It seems to work pretty
well.

Changing my locale

[S Salamander]

I'm using GDM to log into KDE.  I've set the locale option on the GDM
login screen to US English (en-us UTF-8) but noticed that in my
Evolution mail reader that the mail folders are being sorted case
sensitively.  This shouldn't be the case if the locale is set as I
thought it  was.  Running 'locale' from my bash prompt shows en_US
UTF-8 for all options, but most are quoted ("en_US UTF-8") leading me
to believe they're not correct and falling back to C.

How do I change the locale 'the right way"?

I'm not at that machine right now, so if the output above is off a
letter or two, I apologize.

Thanks.

Then, in your mail client, you designate your instance of postfix as the

The moment you start paying for development and support I'll agree with 
you. When I need a particularly low per packet cost such as a firewall 
I'll throw down some OpenBSD much as I hate to do it. On the other hand 
there are plenty of workloads I work with where FreeBSD 5 works great 
for me.

Am I pissed as hell at that little NFS bug that's been floating around 
out there? Sure, but then I didn't drop the cash on a big Sun box to 
handle the load. While were at it, go look at what you get with Solaris 
these days. Sun's new OS can't fix the issues they are having with 
Sun's new hardware.

With FreeBSD you have options
1) do the work yourself
2) live with it
3) use another OS that you are either paying for or not.
In the mean time we all know you're not happy and none of us are 
capable of understanding the subtle and nuanced technical reasons why 
FreeBSD sucks.

My ISP does restrict port 25. So I guess what I really want to know is
how do I configure POSTFIX to work under that condition.

I do not know if this information is of any help to you, but these are
the settings I am using at present in my email program. They are
obviously for my ISP. I have a small home network, and am connect via a
cable modem. I do not have a static address. I refuse to pay an
additional $25 a month just for that.

smtp.rcn.com(207.172.4.99)  Port 25
pop.rcn.com (207.172.4.95)  Port 110
domain name rcn.com (207.172.16.171)
Primary DNS#1   ns1.dns.rcn.net (207.172.3.8)
Secondary DNS#1 ns2.dns.rcn.net (207.172.3.9)
Primary DNS#2   ns3.dns.rcn.net (207.172.3.10)

We took a look at the activity of both projects, and it looked like
xorg is more active and is going to be the de facto future standard
implementation.

FreeBSD also has a closer integration with the xorg project because we
have a committer who works on both projects.

Samba problems - stopped working

[Louis LeBlanc]

Anyone else seeing problems with Samba3?

swat dumps core every time I try to connect - SIGABRT.  Smbd & nmbd
don't pick up the phone (yes, netstat -an shows listeners on ports 139
and 443).  They don't log anything, just no answer.

I'm running 5.3 RELEASE, rebuilt yesterday.  I don't know when it
stopped working, but I'm running the latest samba3 port - rebuilt just
today while trying to fix the problem.

While building samba, the only apparent problems are the following
warnings:

checking rpcsvc/yp_prot.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: check for missing prerequisite 
headers?
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: section "Present But Cannot Be 
Compiled"
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: in the future, the compiler will take 
precedence
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
checking for rpcsvc/yp_prot.h... yes

and:

checking sys/mount.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

precedence
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
checking for sys/mount.h... yes

After seeing these, I went back and removed all the autoconf and
automake packages and let them be rebuilt as dependencies, but these
warnings still show up.

There are also a number of build warnings, but nothing that seems
critical to me, but there are some "Passing arg  of  from
incompatible pointer type" errors in a lot of the auth based code.
Checking the swat core, it is pretty obvious that the abort() was
called somewhere in the authentication calls.

Anyone else?

That's not a crashdump, that's a panic.  Check the handbook for the

Thats NOT contrary to what anyone was saying (Im not sure who OP is). 
You're just too busy writing people off as trolls to read whats written. He 
said it didnt work at all with the 7520 MB, and he said his OLD 533Mhz
MB was faster in 4.9 than the new MB was in 5.3 so it made no sense
to upgrade. 

So, apparently, doing a PR doesnt work, since the PR you cited has
been largely ignored for 3 months. So whats else do you recommend, Ted?

PS: the 7520/7530 is required for use of Intel's newest CPUs, so its 
not some random chipset. It should be way higher in the list of priorities
than the peripheral "fixes" noted for 4.11.

As others have replied, you usually do not need to do this.  The only
exception I can think of is the one I ran into:  If you use a third-
party email service provider (like mail.com, or maybe even your own
company's servers) and they have SPF records in place, you do need to
route outgoing mail for those accounts through the third party's
servers.  If you don't, your mail will probably be marked as spam.

If you use a comprehensive mail client, you can usually specify in the
client which SMTP servers to use for which accounts.  Postfix doesn't
enter the picture in that case.  If you use a mail client that insists
on sending mail through the local MTA (e.g. Postfix), like Mutt does,
you have to perform some hoop-jumpery.

/usr/ports/mail/esmtp will get this to work; there may be others.  It
routes mail to different SMTP servers based on the envelope From
address.  There may be other solutions, e.g. patches to one or another
MTA to allow it to perform this discriminatory routing, but I'm not
aware of any (although I know qmail has a patch to allow it to perform
SMTP authorization when required).

BASIC WEB SERVER HELP

[Satori Seal - Dale T. McGrosky]

06Jan05
 
Hello,
 
I am setting up a web server to handle an interactive web site were my
customers can check inventory, prices, etc. The number of users will be
less than 500. The computer is Intel based server class computer with 2
700 MHz CPU's and 2 gigabytes of ram. 
 
The web server program will be PARADOX as this computer will access data
through a Sonic wall firewall to our file server. 
 
Will FreeBSD 5.3 be a good operating system for us that will provide
excellent security?
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thank you in advance for your assistance
 
 
Best regards,

Are you sure that the BIOS is using the correct PIO mode? You can try setting 
it yourself though. However, I don't have too much experience with that. I do 
know that the incorrect PIO mode can make your PC extremely slow.

The latter doesn't go through PAM.

Recent versions certainly can do keyboard-interactive.
