I had to reconfigure my array as RAID-5. That was not fun but it does work well in RAID-5 mode. That being said, I know there are other FreeBSD users who have successfully used a 7500 card for RAID1+0. It depends on what hardware revision you get.

Be sure you read the Makefile and a couple of other files because you will needo to tell /etc/make.conf to forever more not make the lp* stuff (that information is in man make.conf) because cups has its own version of the lp* items. Everytime you makeworld you'll wipe it out. If you do have it installed then you may want to uninstall it then reinstall a make world might have wiped it out. The cups-lpr port will install its binaries in /usr/local and is _not_ wiped out by a 'make world'. You just have to remember to use /usr/local/bin/lpr rather than /usr/bin/lpr. Setting the PATH so that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin is first is an easy way to solve the problem. Also, that has nothing to do with the original poster's question. He is asking about integration of cups in GNOME. It is possible to print using cups without having cups-lpr installed with utilities such as that provided with KDE (kprinter).

You would add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: snd_via8233_load=yes How would I compile that into my kernel? device pcm I thought it would be built when I added pcm to my custom config, but it wasn't. I had to build it manually in modules/sounds directory. You want to decide whether you want sound support compiled into the kernel or use a kernel module.

Re: xdm across different networks

Broadcasts cannot be routed between subnets and therefore your Windows XP system on your xxx.xxx.87.0 subnet won't be responded to by your FreeBSD machine. Rather than using broadcasts, you should be able to configure the X11 server software on your Windows XP system to do a direct XDMCP query of the FreeBSD system by specifying it's hostname or IP address. Because a specific IP address is used the XDMCP query will properly traverse the subnets to establish an X11 session. Mike Thompson Thanks. I should have specified in my e-mail that I was using direct queries and not broadcasts. Sorry I forgot that detail. It turns out that there is a problem with a router here. The packets were getting from the xxx.xxx.87.0 to the xxx.xxx.86.0 network just fine but packets from xxx.xxx.86.0 were not getting to xxx.xxx.87.0. The network administrator moved the Windows machine over to the xxx.xxx.86.0 network so the machine could connect via the X server. I guess the answer to my question is that it should work, with direct query, as long as the routers are functioning properly. Thanks again.

need help setting up a transparent proxy
I am trying to set up a transparent squid proxy with ipfw. I am using
FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE (current as of today), version 2.5_1 of squid. I
have read the relevant information on the squid Web site and searched
the FreeBSD mail archive. I am pretty sure I have everything set up
right but it just does not work.
I have the following in my kernel config:
options IPFIREWALL #firewall
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD #enable transparent proxy support
options IPDIVERT#divert sockets
options IPSTEALTH #support for stealth forwarding
I have the following in my squid.conf file:
http_port 3128
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
I am using the SIMPLE firewall setup I have the following in my
rc.firewall file
# Allow setup of any other TCP connection
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to any setup
# Try this to get a transparent proxy
${fwcmd} add fwd 127.0.0.1,3128 tcp from any to any 80
I have also tried setting the first rule above to ...any to any 80 but
that did not help.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

If this is on a gateway machine, you might try: $fwcmd add fwd 127.0.0.1,3128 from INTERNAL_NETWORK to any 80 Thanks; that was it. Is there any way to have the gateway/proxy machine also use the proxy cache transparently? Apparently, packets destined for outbound port 80 from the gateway/proxy machine are coming from the external interface (cable modem) rather than the internal interface. This makes sense as the default route is on the external interface. Is it possible to make those packets appear to come from the internal interface? Not a big deal but I am curious.

I am not sure what the HP setup is; can you provide a reference? In general, FreeBSD can be set up as a Beowulf style cluster or supercomputer just as well as Linux can. The only advantage I can think of that Linux has in this area, besides publicity and support from heavy weights like IBM and HP, is there is work being done on a parallel file system for Linux clusters. Although, an NAS or SAN system would also work and would be OS independent. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
