Fw: Mouse not working on FreeBSD 6.1
I recently purchased an omega optical mouse - http://www.omega.com.tw/MOUSE-278962.asp . The link shows the mouse in question. I have been unable to get it to work however. after running dmesg I noticed the psm driver is being loaded and the mouse is being recognised as an intellimouse but there does not appear to be an error or report which suggests that the mouse has a conflict with freebsd. FreeBSD however, can not activate for me to use on either console or desktop. Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve this ?

cron not running

On the 12/27 I shut down the server so I could physically clean the server (was getting kinda gross with dust balls and stuff). It started up no problems but rather curiously the cron service does not seem to be processing any jobs now. I am not sure where to go about figuring out what the problem is or how to fix it.

Business port
Hi all, I have been rummaging through ports wondering if there might be a utility or couple of utilities to handle bookkeeping for a small membership organization. I know little of accounting and such, so don't know how to interpret the scanty pkg-descr tidbits that accompany the ports. So, some amplification would be helpful. It would need to keep records for about 500 members (say under 1000 for good measure - more is, of course OK), including membership, participation and official responsibilities (such as board oficer, etc). It would also need to keep accounts, regular receipts from members, non-members, services and payouts for expenses and also remissions to an umbrella organization. The ability to generate regular reports for the membership, plus year-end reports for tax purposes would be important. The ability to cut checks and keep a record would be a significant plus. So, does anyone know of something good along this line in the open source freeware world that would run on FreeBSD - whether currently in the ports or not? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for any useful information you can provide. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fixit floppy contents?
Is there a standard way of installing complete filesystem images onto existing machines via the network, for example using dump, restore, nfs, and boot floppies?

I've got an image of the 6-STABLE box I'm happy with and I want to be able to serve it via NFS, then go through the cluster booting on (hopefully) the fixit floppy, format the disks and restore the image over nfs, edit some confs, and boot it and away it goes in a fraction of the time it would take to go from scratch with each. I'm not sure what tools the fixit floppy has. Anybody done anything like this before?

Problem with my server
Hi, I'm running freeradius on FreeBSD 5.3 I noticed a problem in my radius logs a little while ago.

If I make a slightly changes in this row like this: pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port ssh flags S/SA synproxy state wont work as I expect, my ssh attempts left unanswered. I just wonder what more do I have to modify in order to get spoofing protected ssh service(is there synproxy option supported on the FreeBSD flavored of pf)?

I'm not sure what tools the fixit floppy has. Anybody done anything like this before? The fixit floppy is basically a running system, minus extras like X stuff and the ports, that can be booted from the floppy - or preferrably from the CD. The first install CD also is a fixit, just choose the menu item to boot to a running system - I forget the label text. It is just basic FreeBSD Unix including necessary tools to deal with files. There are a number of ways of moving filesystems from one machine to another, including over the net. I am inclined to use dump/restore because it handles all situations of files and links and permissions, etc properly and doesn't get locked in to the sector-by-sector trap. But, you must create the filesystems yourself with either sysinstall or fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs. If you have room, the nicest thing is to create the file systems and then copy the dump file to the machine and restore it from there rather than over the net. But it will work over the net. Actually, it is possible to build your own install CD that just charges ahead and builds and installs things the way you want it. You may need more than one CD if you put a lot on - or make one to do the system build and then restore dump files on for the rest. jerry Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Comparison between native and cross-compiling? In general, the choice of algorithm is of the highest importance. Seek compiler optimizations only if you already have adequate algorithms. The results of native and cross-compiling should be the same, per definition of cross-compiling. Is it worth porting the project to GGC if you can download specifically optimized .asm code for GCC? Yes, in general, but you must test it before and afterwards. What IDEs are currently available that use GCC? Depending of what you think an IDE is, either none or a gazillion. There's nothing like what's available for commercial platforms, but there are a lot of decent editors that can call compilers. If you're doing windows programming with gcc, see for example Dev-cpp. Finally, if someone knows whether microsoft's or GNU's compiler is better for generating faster windows code, please? Microsoft's, definitely. If you're really after extracting water-out-of-stone performance, Intel's are even better. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I know little of accounting and such, so don't know how to interpret the scanty pkg-descr tidbits that accompany the ports. So, some amplification would be helpful. It would need to keep records for about 500 members (say under 1000 for good measure - more is, of course OK), including membership, participation and official responsibilities (such as board oficer, etc). It would also need to keep accounts, regular receipts from members, non-members, services and payouts for expenses and also remissions to an umbrella organization. The ability to generate regular reports for the membership, plus year-end reports for tax purposes would be important. The ability to cut checks and keep a record would be a significant plus.

I just wanna use BSD so I can get use to it, and then use it on my other boxes ,I got with Debian linux Colin say that BSD is more secure than Debian linux so I like to try it . Can you please give some hints in how to make it work as a desktop at home and surf the net and burn cd's that all I want to do and word as well but for now I only want the desktop running.
