zfs configuration
Hi All, So I use zfs for the root file system. Works well. However now I want to move /tmp to ram-disk (memory disk or what ever). When I try to unmount /tmp with the zfs command of course it won't because its busy. With ufs I would just edit fstab and reboot what do I don with zfs?? Thx in advance...

User IDs
Hi All, Looking for advice. I have had between 3 - 9 boxes on a small home business network. This network has been in place for 12+ years. On occasions there's a Linux box however I am trying to use PC-BSD instead. The non-FreeBSD boxes are used for office and general work the FreeBSD boxes are for development. The question is about dealing with adding users. I been using NIS for a while now it works ok however I've had to keep good notes on how to do thing mainly because I don't add user or boxes very often. I'm a software engineer not a system admin so I not clean on what the best way to deal with things like this. The problem is when I added a PC-BSD box and added a user with the GUI admin stuff provided it did not let me specify the user id so now the users file that are on the nfs mounted drives user id's don't match. I can login as root and use chpass and change the user ids but then I must go through add they files on the new box change uids and gids. Question is there an easier way?? Thx in advance...

If the GUI tool of PC-BSD doesn't cover the specific need you have, use the CLI equivalent. If you need an interactive way of adding users, use adduser, and if you have some time, read man pw and use pw useradd (and maybe pw usermod) which will cover nearly all imaginable cases. The advantage of pw is that you can easily script and automate things. If urgently needed, you could create a GUI wrapper with Tcl/Tk, but you'll probably find that the CLI tool is much easier to use. Ya I tried that the problem is adduser doesn't set the users home directory up for the for PC-BSD system.

Gateway 8.1
I recently loaded 8.1 Rel on a box using the same basic configuration as a 7.1 Rel box I was replacing. Everything works except the box won't work as a gateway now. Is there something new in 8.1 that would change the basic configuration that I would need to change. Thx in advance...

Audio
I've been using the rsynth package for years now, but after installing 4.6 Rel. The say command no longer works correctly, it doesn't say the last word. I thought I saw a bug report that sounded like this problem was fixed in 4.6.1 Rel. However I just installed 4.7 Rel. and the problems still there. I have an old Sound Blaster and am using the pcm device. Can anyone shad some light on this. Thx in advance...
