This might sound stupid, but I did it like this: Whole partition on /usr, and I made the home directories as: /usr/home/$USER instead of /home/$USER And I did not make a special partition for /usr/home, since I did not know how much space I would need. Maybe you could try that out too ...

So I showed how to block the intern IPS, as stated in the RFC's :-) And I added a few ones too. What you gave was for a good firewall, what was asked was how to anti-spoof, right? :-) -- Kind regards, Guilmot Mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Shouldn't this be

Instead of "nv" ?

Xvid should work already in FreeBSD (i'm not sure, but I think). For DivX you have to install the DivX codec. It's as simple as that. http://www.divx.com Kind regards, Guilmot Mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
