That's what I'd do. Instead of finding a HTML Editor just find a simple text editor and write all your HTML in a clean manner.

I'd say you'll need physical access to do an actual reinstall, unless they're using some kind of virtualization and you have access to that. But how is the server getting "messy"? In most cases you can just remove the software you're not using, and reclaim disk space that way. Also make sure any unneeded services are removed from /etc/rc.conf. To be honest, though - I've never felt the need to reinstall FreeBSD unless I was doing a major update as well (5 -> 6 for example).

Does it segfault if you just run a class as you normally would? e.g what
happens if you do the following:
vi HelloWorld.java
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
javac HelloWorld.java

I'm assuming this is a spelling mistake. I've never seen this error before and wasn't able to reproduce it on my system, but this is what I'd do: If we assume the user name you want to add is actually John, then rmuser -y John first of all. Make a backup of /usr/local/etc/samba/smbpasswd and then delete the smbpasswd file. Type adduser and add John as you normally would, then type smbpasswd -a John.

Your behaviour is reproducible when I run vi -S, but in normal vi I have
full access to external commands with !, both running as root and toor. I
googled your error message and couldn't find it anywhere except for
newsgroups where you've been posting, so it's a very rare issue indeed. I
don't have any suggestions as to how you'd fix it though, except look for
any aliases and the stuff people have said before.

Re: FreeBSD 7 on Windows 2008 (Hyper-V)
Sounds like a problem with your partitioning or boot manager installation. Being a noob with FreeBSD surely doesn't help when you're trying to install it in a completely experimental way! I'd advise setting up FreeBSD on a completely blank hard drive using the exact same steps you used to set it up in the Hyper-V. If it works, then you'll know it's a problem with the virtualization. Of course, always check out any wikis or forums about installing different OSes on the Hyper-V - someone out there is bound to have tried doing the same thing as you.

I've very little experience with computers in racks, but if the machines are actually touching, then yes, this could be the case. The 65 C temperature a previous poster was talking about is not the maximum operating temperature for the actual processor, it's the maximum temperature in the case while the computer is operating. As far as I know CPU temperatures are measured on the actual processor die, and the case temperature will normally be *much* lower.

With no case fans, it's weird that the computer gets colder if it has something above and underneath it. But there are so many factors when it comes to case temperatures and air flow that it's nearly impossible to tell why. If there's a huge cooler on top of the Xeon (Processor wind tunnel), then it could be that closing the ventilation holes in the top and bottom of the case makes the air flow more directly from the front to the back of the case. It seems the Xeon shuts down the system automatically if it reaches 105 C. I don't know if this is any pointer to what a reasonable 100% load-temperature could be, but I know processors nowadays run much cooler than they used to. (I'm used to AMD Athlons on or above 70 C idle) I'd say you should be fine if you haven't seen any instability at 70 C with 100% load.

Is it after performing a specific action, or at a certain time of day? If you can connect a monitor to the server and actually see what happens and also if it still accepts keystrokes and stuff, that would probably help in diagnosing the problem. Another tip might be to download memtest86 and run it for a while on the machine, in order to make sure the memory is working correctly.

Might be useful for testing and stuff. Anyway, after a quick bit of googling around for your problem (I've had CUPS problems many times in the past myself and I know how hard it can be) I found this: Here is a workaround: In printers.conf () you will probably find a line like this: DeviceURI usb:/dev/ulpt0 change usb: to file:, so that it looks something like this: DeviceURI file:/dev/ulpt0 Then restart cups. Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print. Be warned about unknown side effects. :) Jan-Espen Pettersen ( http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-June/125703.html) Christian Zachariasen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Headless Azureus with any X11 Dependencies ??
I never had much load running torrentflux on my server, and I'd run quite a lot of them at a time (don't remember if there was a limit). This might have something to do with your installation, so if you don't hate TF maybe you should do some troubleshooting around it? Check their forums, they were very helpful when I frequented them. Is the b4rt fork still using the python client?

Re: Headless Azureus with any X11 Dependencies ??
I can, from the bottom of my heart, recommend TorrentFlux ( http://www.torrentflux.com). I used it for over two years on my shared server and it worked great. The great thing is - it's in ports! (/net-p2p/torrentflux).
