growfs on /

[Jeff LaMarche]

Hey all...

Have FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE, and I've run out of space on the slice /

I really want to avoid having to backup and reformat, or doing anything 
that's super-time-intensive - from reading various posts and blogs 
related to FreeBSD, it appears to me that I can resolve my issue by 
using growfs - the next slice after / is /tmp which has plenty of room 
free, and can afford to be reduced by a little. It doesn't seem to be 
affecting system use except that I can't add new users.

Here's what I look like now:

Filesystem  1K-blocksUsedAvail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a128990  127682-9010   108%/
/dev/ad0s1f2579981254   236106 1%/tmp
/dev/ad0s1g  18359694 4955608 1193531229%/usr
/dev/ad0s1e2579988400   228960 4%/var
procfs  4   40   100%/proc
I understand the process in general, but am a little afraid of hosing 
the box in the process; most of the stuff I've seen assumes a greater 
familiarity with tools like disklabel than I have. Does anyone know of 
a step-by-step tutorial or article on doing this? If not, would anyone 
be so kind as to give me a high-level breakdown?

Alternatively, if anyone knows how I can free up some space in / 
perhaps by moving something to another slice, I'd be open to that 
possibility.

Thanks in advance
Jeff LaMarche

Can't telnet or FTP

[Jeff LaMarche]

I just did a clean install of 4.7 (I was running 4.0 previously) on a 
machine that I'm using as primarily as a network gateway and firewall 
and also as a file server. It installed fine and is working natd & ipfw 
are working beautifully. However, I am unable to telnet or ftp into the 
box using either adaptor's ip address - I get a "connection refused" 
message. I did set up anonymous ftp access during the install.

I'm assuming that I did something wrong in the setup to make it disable 
remote access. Can anyone tell me what I might have done and how I can 
re-enable remote access to this box?

Thanks
Jeff LaMarche
