I would strongly suggest learning it, even if you just maintain the ports yourself and don't contribute them to the ports tree.

Ack, my apologies. Forgot about that. Yeah, you will need to do it from the loader prompt if you want to test it. Unless you are booting off of gmirror or have /etc/fstab configured with something else that will automatically be found, you will have a problem. But from the loader prompt it should be... load /boot/kernel/ahci.kp show rootdev If rootdev shows any thing other than shows boot device as ad, rewrite it as ada, using the set command. See loader(8). This will get it to boot, although it will error and drop to single user mode as /etc/fstab contains the old stuff. Just manually mount everything and continue. At this point it should be up and running and able to test it out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

With OpenVPN, you should not be seeing that big of a drop, with the real limiting factor being the CPU time available for it. You can easily check top and see if that is the case. If you get 45-50MBps between the two locations with out VPN, baring any firewall issues at either end, it is likely a configuration issue in regards to the networking of the machines in question or the VPN software or a CPU resource issue. One of the first areas I would check is the MTU being used on the network interfaces, figure out what the max MTU for the path is, and make sure the VPN software is not sending packets larger than that. You may also want to take a look at tuning(7). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Postfix is a great choice. A lot more manageable than Qmail and it is pleasantly fast, easy to configure, and integrates nicely with Dovecot. If you are just dealing with a single domain, I would strongly suggest looking into just using system users. This works fairly nicely and you can lock down access via PAM. In regards to authentication, you will need to look into something other than the master.passwd stuff authentication as that is only usable as root. I would strongly suggest LDAP. In regards to managing users/groups in LDAP I would suggest sysutils/p5-Plugtools . It is something I wrong awhile back and maintain, so if you have any requests for add on to, please just let me know. > Just curious on how everyone else does small/medium/large email > hosting so that the users have an easy option to change passwords, > manage their domains, quotas, vacation auto responders, etc. ? My setup involves... backend - The backend server runs LDAP and has a nice bit of disk space shared via NFs. frontend - The frontend servver runs all the external facing stuff, webmail(horde), more web stuff, Dovecot(POP3/IMAP/Sieve), and Postfix(SMTP). NFS - Used for sharing home directories. LDAP - Used for authentication, addressbooks, and user/groups. Dovecot - Use for POP3/IMAP/Sieve. Postfix - Used for SMTP. syslogd - Used for centralized logging for logging from the frontend to the backend. Horde - It makes a truely kick ass webmail system. It is nice as allows easy integration of Sieve and LDAP addressooks. ZFS/gmirror - Gmirror backed ZFS pools work really nicely for if you need large amounts of storage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I find it questionable if the person saying this has ever dealt with either Windows or Linux in any notable manner. Windows has documentation and lots of it.

That is for stuff set via set, but when it comes to the individual network variables, not all of these have a default value other than not defined, AFAIK, and setting them back to the defaults as far as I can tell is impossible for some. A example of this is the bssid variable. Once this has been set, I've been unable to find any way to remove it via wpa_cli. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
