Re: Monitoring bandwidth usage by user
Roop Nanuwa wrote: Hello all, Is there any way to get live (or even just logged) monitoring of bandwidth usage by user instead of just an aggregate amount for the entire machine/interface? Squid can do it. There are quite a few perl scripts that can build a webpage from the log files and show you nice pretty graphs and such. This is assuming that by user you mean machines that are accessing the net through a gateway. -- Benjamin Meade System Administrator LanWest Pty Ltd Ph: +61 (8) 9440 3033 Fax: +61 (8) 9440 3370 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Will FreeBSD work on my hardware?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd like to try FreeBSD, but I have some problem hardware that I'm having trouble getting Linux on. It's an AMD64 with an NForce ethernet, and an external Iomega Zip Drive plugged into the USB port. Also, I want to dual-boot with Window XP, and I want read access to the NTFS partition. Is it doable? Everything is doable. Firstly, decide on which release you want - 5.x or 4.x. 4.x is the stable version, but I don't know if it supports the amd64 chipset. According to the website (http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html) it is a fully supported chipset, but I don't see mention of it under the 4.x release notes. Maybe somebody more familar with the 4.x series could fill in this blank. For compatable hardware, see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware.html or http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware.html Dual booting with windows should present no major problems as long as you read the manual before experimenting. And backup your data beforehand. Searching through the archives of this list seems to indicate that GAG is the way to go (http://gag.sourceforge.net/). I've never acutally used it, so do a bit of research before jumping in. Readonly access to NTFS partitions should work fine. Writing is even supported to a limited extent. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_ntfs&sektion=8 for more info. Also, google can solve a lot of time. (Searching for, say, "howto dual boot freebsd windows xp"), and the freebsd website has a LOT of info. Hope this helps. -- Benjamin Meade System Administrator LanWest Pty Ltd Ph: +61 (8) 9440 3033 Fax: +61 (8) 9440 3370 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: ufs HDD on the MS Windows ?

How to make easier? What variants exist? If you're talking about getting windows to actually read the hard disk, then your out of luck.

The author states: "...don't panic over the telnet word. The insecure telnet service isn't running on ..." The major insecurities in telnet are still present using this method of generating passwords. Instead of a sniffer getting the actual password, they get a list of six. Note that this is only using the network version, not the client side system. On the other hand, wrapping the communication with the server in ssl sounds like a very good solution for user passwords. You could even use a website in perl over https.
