Well, I'm going to give this a try on a machine today.  Thanks for all
the input everyone.

Upgrading from 6.2 to 7.0

I have a couple of 6.2 machines that I would like to upgrade to the 7.0
release.  Is there an "official" set of instructions for this process?

Thanks,

Jay Deiman

Kill states with pfctl wildcard?

2007-11-26 Thread Jay Deiman
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello all,

I'm wondering if there is a "wildcard" that can be used in conjunction
with "pfctl -k".

Specifically, if I wanted to kill states from any number of internal
machines to one external address.  Basically a command such as:

pfctl -k any -k external.host.com

I've tried the word "any" (as above) and that does not work.  Is there
any way to do this?

Thanks,

Jay

Hello everyone,

I'm running 2 server, one with FreeBSD and one with Linux. Now I want to 
synchronize data between the 2 servers, over the internet so using NFS 
isn't a solution at all.
Are there other possible ways of doing it ? AFS still seems in a 
development state and Rsync over SSH might be another possible way of 
doing it - would be just good if everything runs in background without 
any interaction.


Thanks in advance for any help


If you actually want to "sync" the data between 2 machines, NFS/AFS 
isn't really going to do anything for you.  It would just grant access 
to the information remotely.  If you truly want to sync the data, rsync 
over ssh is the way to go.  It's pretty easy to get it running in the 
background, just set up a cron job that runs at your desired interval 
(once a day, twice a day, every 5 minutes, etc.) to do the dirty work. 
That should sync you up without any interaction.
