Linux is a kernel, and FreeBSD has its own kernel. There is absolutely no Linux code in FreeBSD. However, Linux being a kernel only is usually packaged with software from GNU for its userland. Much of FreeBSD's userland is its own code, but it does use some GNU software. FreeBSD is also under the BSD license, which is significantly different than Linux's GPL license, although both are open source. B. Unix Depends on what you mean by Unix. There is code in it that derives from the original ATT UNIX. It is also posix compliant. However, the Open Group which currently owns the UNIX trademark does not consider it Unix. Also, people will often use the term Unix to refer to the proprietary operating systems from the big vendors (SunOS/Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, IRIX, AIX), which are branched from the original UNIX and has code licensed from it (note SCO who now owns the code). Although you can loosely call FreeBSD Unix, it is more aptly referred to as a unix derivative or unix variant. C. Something else ( Tell us what ;P ) I'd go with this answer. If I had to classify it in any group, I'd classify it as a BSD. 1) Because it's branched directly from BSD 2) It's under the BSD license. 3) It is most similar to other BSD derivates such as OpenBSD and NetBSD, with which it shares a lot of common code, and is significantly more different from any other operating system.

Hey Guys, Thanks for your input and explanations. Here's the part I don't understand (very simplistic view). Both machines previously had Red Hat 9 installed on them. I decided that I didn't want to pay Red Hat for their up2date feature on each machine and decided to go back to BSD with a GUI so I could go back to the trusty, and free ports feature(s)... RH9 took less than 15 minutes to install and boot for each machine. It has the Blue Wave GUI and I would imagine is pretty bloated as well. So, from this point of view, how can one OS take 15 minutes, while the other take 15 hours (and counting)? The machines are Pentium II, 333Mhz and 400 Mhz units (both are Dells).

Re: A routing/IP/NIC query Expert required
Sorry, some of the things you said were kind of confusing. 1) Do your xxx.xxx.xxx.* IP's = 10.0.0.*? If not, why bother with the 10.0.0.* IP's? 2) I think you are just setting up a typical NAT configuration, but correct me if I'm wrong. 3) What do you mean by 2 ip live servers inside the firewall exactly? If you mean you have, for example, a webserver and an ftp server on non-routable IP's on your internal network, you can simply setup ipnat rules to direct them to the right place based on the port. For example: map fxp0 xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 - 0/32 rdr fxp0 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/32 port 80 - xxx.xxx.xxx.www rdr fxp0 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/32 port 21 - xxx.xxx.xxx.ftp In any event, additional internal IP aliases on your internal interface will not help you to uniquely identify incoming connections for more than 1 server. - Original Message - From: Keith Spencer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 7:25 PM Subject: A routing/IP/NIC query Expert required Hi all, I have a new adsl isp allocating my fbsd 4.7 box a routable IP (end user ip) I have 32 (read that as 30) ips of my own to use and route for my domain.

Is there some major differences between them? ipfw is a part of FreeBSD, whereas ipfilter is written by Darren Reed and runs not only on FreeBSD, but also on OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris (and perhaps others?) if I recall correctly. If you plan to take advantage of the builtin rc scripts to run a predefined set of firewall rules, you'll probably want to stick with ipfw/natd.

Re: Mask IP:port with Domain Name
I believe the ServerName directive in Apache is what you're looking for; it's what people's browser address field will show once they connect to your site. As far as your security concerns go, you can not run a website without exposing the IP address of the webserver machine, with or without masking. If a client machine didn't know your IP address, it would not know where to retrieve your web pages from.

When someone punches in my domain name to reach the web site running on FBSD, their browser's address field (well, actually it's the DNS doing it) instantly translates the domain name into my actual IP address and port number.

Re: Mask IP:port with Domain Name
Sorry, I missed the original reply to this. What you can do is setup an extra redirect to the URL. i.e. have your redirection service point to a different URL (vhost) that still points to your machine. Since it seems you do not have a lot of flexibility with DNS, it would probably be easiest to run this vhost on a different port. Then, on your vhost, setup your own http redirect http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect to your actual site with the URL you want your clients to see, and the client's browser should then show this URL. The port will still show up using this method, but this is the only way to go if you want your own domain to show up without paying for any additional services. The masking method dyndns uses, is to essentially serve up a frameset, and redirect to your URL through a frame, thus the original URL is what will show in the client's address bar. Dyndns charges for this service however, and you will not be able to use it with your own domain name unless you buy their custom dns service.

Re: changing setup
man em for Intel Gigabit adapters: The em driver provides support for PCI gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82540, 82542, 82543, 82544 and 82546 Ethernet controller chips. I believe there is Serial ATA support for some chipsets in 5.1. No idea on the Fasttrack 378. Problems are likely to occur when your kernel doesn't match your userland. I'm guessing your initial install was 4.5, and you updated directly to 4.8? I would recommend that you try to boot with a 4.8 GENERIC kernel, off a 4.8 CD or floppy. Then try mounting your partitions manually from single user mode, and editing /etc/fstab to match your drive configuration.

Re: is this a FBSD printf bug?
Hrrm... your question and the code seem to contradict each other.
Firstly, you are assigning hex values to the characters in your array.
Secondly, you are printing the values stored in the array as hex values by
specifying %02x.
I think you meant to ask why you are getting the preceding trail of
...'s. If that's the case, it's because you are assigning values to
signed character variables and printing them as unsigned hex values. Thus,
when you assign values greater than 127 (starting with 88), you are
overriding the sign of the character. To get the output you would expect,
simply declare a as an unsigned character array.
e.g. unsigned char a[LEN_ARRAY+1];

I know UFS support is enabled in the kernel, because I'm able to mount the drive read-only.

Re: good browser and java combo?
For someone on a BSD mailing list, you sure sound like a Linuz zealot. 1) Sun IBM have made major contributions to the development of Linux. What do you think SCO is accusing IBM of? 2) The GPL already does prevent all works and derivate works to be sold for profit, and is quite restrictive in that sense. It's the BSD license that allows for commercial use. 3) Solaris has many advanced technologies that are still in their infancy on Linux.

I can at least tell you, though, that the unreliability you see is simply due to MS's 'hijacking' of Java by use of a non-standard VM. Because of IE's market share, the sites you want to use all are tested and work with IE's non-standard Java, but that's not the case for Sun's or IBM's standard versions. Hmm, so maybe I've answered your question anyway - any non-IE browser will have difficulty on many Java Web sites because it's not using IE's virtual machine.
