RE: Change root user name? possible?
What I mean if someone wants to hack to machine or even get physical access half of the job is done by knowing the root user name. Although windows security blows but they have this feature renaming administrator user account name It would be like if you want to go in a street and steal a diamond ring. First you have to know the lot number of house which has it and second the key to get in. would make it harder to try every single house Anyway thank you for fast response -Original Message- From: Giorgos Keramidas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 25, 2004 6:55 PM To: Ara Avvali Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Change root user name? possible?

No. At least, not as far as I know. Probably because it wouldn't provide any extra security unless you tinkered with a hell of a lot of settings; both in the default, base system and any ports/packages you installed afterwards. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD Certifications? Does it exist?
I am wondering if there is any official cert or course for BSD style operating systems.

Is this considered to be stable? I mean as stable as 4.10? Message: 13 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2004 11:27:04 -0400 From: "fbsd_user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 5.3 stable release tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ORG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 5.3 stable release tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 The FreeBSD Release Engineering team has published the schedule for the FreeBSD 5.3 stable release. It spans 7 weeks and includes weekly BETA/RC snapshots for testing. The theme for this release is "testing testing testing!" since it is going to be the first 5-STABLE release. The stable 5.3-RELEASE date is tentatively scheduled for Oct 3 if no show stopper problems arise like last time. See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html Release 5.3-BETA1 scheduled for Aug 20 at which time the 5.3-BETA1 tier-1 platform images are released and uploaded to ftp-master.FreeBSD.org server. This is the start of the 7 weekly install process and disk performance testing cycles. People needed to install from downloaded iso image from ftp-master.FreeBSD.org to do install process testing to find and report install config problems. This is your opportunity to beat on the cdrom install process to verify all the previous 5.2.1 install problems with disk geometry have been corrected. Only cdrom installs default to using the new UFS2 file access method on the disk storage system, so heavy disk i/o users are also needed to beat on UFS2 disk drives to verify the system freeze up problems have been fixed. Please submit your bug reports using send-pr command as soon as you find problems so they can be address and fixed by the next weekly BETA/RC cycle. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Automatic kernel configuration from dmesg output
Hi I am sorry to ask this, but yesterday I was looking to see if there is anyway to read the output of dmesg and automatically convert it to a readable format to be used to compile the new kernel. In that way it will be more specified based on that hardware and making sure I am not removing stuff I need Someone asnwered me back that it has been already dissuces and I swear that I can't find the link on mailing list. Did all kind of keyword search and nothing has shown up. May I ask the person who replied back to give more link plaese? Or if someone has it I used google and found out that netbsd has such a thing which does cataclysm what I want, adjustkernel, but isthere such a thing for freebsd? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
automatic custom kernel configuration? is it possible?
Hi sorry if this might sound lazy but I am wondering if there is any way or any program that reads your out put of dmesg and creates a kernel configuration file based on what generic kernel has found so I can use it to compile the new one which has only modules which I need In that case it makes sure I have enabled all my hardware and nothing is being added or removed by mistake I read somewhere that netbsd has something like adjust kernel Help is appreciated ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

how to update freebsd? newbie
hi i am sorry if this is a stupid question i ask but i am willing to see if someone helps me to understand the freebsd update process, i just came from redhat so forgive me i did couple of readings on line and used handbook, even bought a freebsd unleashed book, but i still have not got this i have to install cvsup-without-GUI and then synchronize the sources. then sync the port collection and then build work to keep it updated/ but build work takes a while and i don't think this is a good idea to do everyday. is there any way so i can just get the required packages built or even download a pre-made package from ftp? also what happens let's say i install gimp 2.x and next week 2.y comes up, is there any way so it automatically checks everyday to see if there is a new version and download and install from packages? help is appreciated ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
