Given this evidence, should I be worried that I may have been hacked
Once I opened up SSH to the outside world, my machine has been hammered once or twice a day most days, with username failures. None of the usernames would fit a username on my system (except root), and I have ssh set to deny root logins, and only use SSH2. Additionally, I have the following in my login.access (only active entry, the name have been changed on this, but the three names would appear as 3 and four character random alphabetical strings): -:ALL EXCEPT wrbc crr aqp:ALL EXCEPT local As of the 9th, I've only seen one set of blatant/brute-force attempt at my ssh server. It's interesting, but the major drop in attempts has me more worried than the attempts (could this drop off be because they no longer need to hack me? Could they have hacked me an that be the reason why?) How worried should I be, and what's the best recourse for this?

Re: Given this evidence, should I be worried that I may have been hacked
I have DSA. I will change it to a nonstandard port, but I was wondering what your oppinion on a good way to check if this is the result of me being hacked, or just someone loosing interest.

On a system I administer I put SSH to a non-standard port (in this case 1234) and the brute force attempts has gone away since then. I suggest you trying that. Besides, you can change to RSA/DSA auth, which is more secure.

Verifying that I have SMP up and running
I added SMP to the kernel config, but I want to make sure that it's running. I tried top, as I'm used to seeing multiple processors listed there (Tru64, Linux), but did not see it in FreeBSD. However I got the dmesg below (see end of mail, the beginning of dmesg output), which seems to indicate it's up an running. Can someone verify this, and are there any good tools to show how much each CPU is using in the way of resources? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: creating rc.d scripts
oops, sent a reply to the wrong list a bit ago... Anyway, it is still not working. I forgot to mentions, sorry, doing $ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sb_server start works just fine. I used /usr/bin/env python because I would like to add this to the port that installs the server this script starts, and I cannot be certain that python will be installed in /usr/local/bin, instead of some other path directory (can I? Is this even a concern porters should take into account?). Changing to /usr/local/bin/python did not fix the issue. Thanks for the information.

Your rc script is probably not working because it might not find python under /usr/local/bin unless you explicitly set $PATH to include that directory. Secondly, you want to use sendmail_enable=NONE rather than NO if you want to completely disable all of sendmail. Setting it to NO means that there is no sendmail daemon listening on port 25, but there will still be a local client mqueue runner spawned to handle local deliveries. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Downloads
Hi, I've downloaded the 6.2 files. When I burned a CD with the boot file it didn't make my laptop boot off it after powering up with it in the CD drive. The *disk1 file burnt to a CD gave the same results. I tried the *disk1 file using ftp through a browser and also command line ftp set to binary. I checked the boot order and CD is first. If I put a Windows boot CD in there it will boot off of it. Any ideas? I've got a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop with XP on it now. Thanks for the help in advance, Jim P. Need Mail bonding?

Verifying my 3D drivers set up properly for my nVidia based graphics card
I have a 7300GT in my computer, and I have run into a couple of errors trying to set up WoW in Wine (couldn't find copies of the error elsewhere). Also a couple of OpenGL applications are running slower than one would expect given my card (especially in the screen savers area, where the same apps would run /too fast/ with my old Ti4200. These in conjunction lead me to suspect my graphics setup. What application/method would you suggest to test this? I'd prefer something that would provide command line information, rather than about how fast does this run?

Asking for bugs instead of about them, for a change.
I'm wokring on a project to add to the handbook, on debugging port installs that fail, when it's trivially user fixable. However, I haven't collected all of my error messages from broken port installs I've had. Would it be possible to have some people mail me (unless someone says otherwise, directly, so as not to clutter the list), port build errors related to either [a] broken dependancy relations or [b] overly-agressive CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS The last 50 to 100 lines should be more than sufficient. What I really need is [a] A copy of the relevant parts of the make.conf file (CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/CPUTYPE) [b] the entire dependancy trace (the list of ports that the system is backtracking out of), and the last 15 to 20 lines of the actual build (be it the configuration steps, the compilation commands, etc). Also nice would be [c] How you fixed it or plan to fix it.

problems with jail
I'd like to get Apache running in jail, but I can't seem to get network working in jail. I followed the instructions in the man page for jail so far, breating the world install in my jail directory (/jail), which is the only BSD partition on the drive (ad8s3d, ad8s3b is swap, and ad8s3c is that weird partition chunk that always appears after a swap chunk). In doing this I should be able to remove the main system disk from the devfs in the jail, which seemed to be a good idea. But I hadn't gotten that far yet... Regardless, I didn't squash out any devices just yet with devfs, instead, I ensure any 'net*' device had mode 755 (basic jail test, ping the tail on the router), an modified the rc.conf files as the manual page suggested. Anyway, when I go to jail, running csh (as root) in jail, I try/get: %ping 192.168.1.1 ping: socket: Operation not permitted from my normal system prompt (out of jail): ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=150 time=0.489 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=150 time=0.468 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=150 time=0.465 ms ...

x86 emulators that can handle partition devices instead of slices.
I have two hard drives in my machine (ad8, ad10), ad10 is the system disk, ad8 has a few GB of swap at the end and 2 fat32 partitions. Mostly I'm using the fat partitions for a windows install to use as the base for WINE, but occasionally I'll want to install software, or run something directly in Windows. In these cases it'd be nice not to have to reboot. Is it possible to set up an emulator to either use /dev/ad8 or /dev/ad8s1, could I give it a CD device (only when on) as well? I found that the former was not possible in Bochs, and I read some stuff on QEmu in the logs, so I figured I'd ask here before I put a lot of time into it (i.e. I'll try with no response or some I don't knows, but if I get a can't be done, then I won't waste my time).

Thank you, -Jim Stapleton Jim, Emulators (at least vmware, qemu) should treat partitions transparently. I don't think that they can understand BSD slices as there isn't an option to load or read BSD slices in the config section of the emulators I've used IIRC. Cheers, -Garrett I figured that /should/ be teh case, but after my experience with Bochs and it being very confused, I figured I should just ask. So, then if the DOS parition is /dev/ad8s1, then I should be able to link it to /dev/ad8s1 in the config, or should I link it to /dev/ad8?

Re: CPU Intel core 2 (64bits). Which freeBSD should I install?
Hi all; I looked up on the Free archives and what I found was that I should either install amd64 ( if I use lots of multimedia stuff) or i386 (later compiling for SMP). I tried ia64 (which I thought means Intel Architecture) but the image won't even boot. This machine is going to be exclusively an e-mail/DNS server. Any suggestions? Thanks As an addendum to the other reply, with a bit more info: i386 - Intel x86, 32 bit. It will run on a Pentium CPU or higher, and most stuff will even run on a 386 or higher if you do it right. IA64 - Intel Architecture, 64 bit. This is /not/ 64 bit x86, but rather the Itanium architecture. AMD64 - AMDs 64 bit architecture. If you see a 64 bit x86 processor. This is what it runs. Intel's implementation of this is called EMT64, but it is effectively the same thing. If you want to use dual core, you will need an SMP kernel. I'm not sure which flag in the config file is needed, but it should be in the documentation. As for which you want: for email/DNS, unless you are on a really high load (ISP or major network link), either will work, and a Core 2 Duo is almost certainly overkill. AMD64 should get you a bit better calculation performance, but I believe i386 will have smaller instruction sizes, which could reduce the data transfer times for program switching - lower latency. Can anyone clarify this? In either case, your bottleneck will probably be the wire between the machine and the hub/switch/router/wall, and the version of the OS won't be a big deal. Is this a home machine or an office machine? How many computers will be using it for DNS and for mail? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

NVidia troubls with AMD64..
OK, my main question is this: I originally had an x86-64 config set up, and I ran Xorg -configure, which generated an nv driver based xorg.conf file. It placed the card at PCI 1:0:0 if I remember correctly. When I tried to start X it complained that it couldn't find my card at PCI 1:0:0. I went back to i386, and got to this point, and there was no problem. The driver configs appeared identical, including the PCI 1:0:0. System: 6.2-i386/6.2-AMD64 ASUS A8N-E motherboard, BIOS 1.13 Athlon64 3000+ 512MB memory GeForce 7300GT video card (BFG). Any idea why I would see that problem? I would like to stick to x86-64, but for some reason it doesn't want to find my video card. Also, anyone know the state of the kernel in relation to nVidia's requested updates (mentioned June 06 in -hackers)? I could ask FBSD-hackers, but it's not really an important questions, and I don't want to take their time away from keeping this great OS great.

good news for FreeBSD lovers who admin Stellent Content Manager, irrelevant news for everyone else...
This is by no way an official post, but in my current job I admin a Stellent Content Server, which until recently only had AIX/Linux/SunOS/Win32 as supported platforms (maybe one or two other platforms that I've forgotten). I was about to try installing it with the Linux Compatability Layer where necessary, but right when I was going to start, all the images dissapeared off their website. This morning I checked, and along with the 7.6.2 (new sub-release?) I found a FreeBSD ISO. So, really, if you were interested in SCM but couldn't find it in FreeBSD, or wanted to move a system with it over to FreeBSD, you now can. If you don't know what SCM is, then you probaly wasted your time reading this message (sorry, I did warn you). I'm just happy to see a nice piece of mainstream commercial software on FreeBSD.

RE: FreeBSD Installer vs RedHat Linux Fedora Core Installer?
I have made a post like this before, so I can hardly criticise you for that, though my goal was more to try to consolidate a group to work on the issue. I'll say this, while the graphics aren't as pretty as those of many Linux distros, the FreeBSD installer is a lot more user friendly and workable in 6.x than it was in 5.2 (5.3?) when I had tried it previously. It may not be a pretty GUI, but it has the functionality and flexibility, in fact, a bit more than even the GUIs of those I'd say, and it's not user-unfriendly anymore. Additionally, it's worth the switch now, simply for the fact that although the learning curve is a touch higher when things work, it's a lot lower when fixing things that don't, add to that the fact that more of the listed supported stuff just works without the hassle you get on Linux, it's well worth the switch. -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

v6 speed compared to previous versions
When I switched to 6.0, then 6.1, it was noticed by most of my clients that my php/mysql/apache system slowed down a fair bit compared to previous version (5.XX).

I've seen the trolls of past about speed and previous versions, and I would really be interested to hear the actual truth about 6.XX speed. It is my understanding that 6.XX is more optimized for multi-processors, and that for a single processor, 5.XX (or even 4.XX) outperforms 6.XX.

Some old fashioned assistance requested, and some oppinions wanted.
Ok, to start this off, and so you know where I'm coming from - I do a lot with comptuers and I'm visually impared. This makes notebooks a royal pain in the posterior - to the point where I NEED a few features in KDE/Gnome,a nd cannot use Windows. However, add to that a lot of manufacturers don't support their customers very well, not even if it is plain and simple hardware, and you suddenly have a *very* restrictive list. I I've had bad experiences with many companies, and good experiences with really only two. One of which, while BSD/Linux friendly, is out of the picture for reasons of exceptionally immoral and frivolous lawsuites (in my oppinion), the other, while their support is surperb, does not provide drivers for anything but windows, and does weird stuff to their hardware. The latter company is Toshiba. I'm putting this here on the questions and not the mobile forum because I believe that they also make non-mobile machines, and this is a slightly more wide ranging question that normally is found there. My question: 1) If Toshiba were to provide open source drivers for it's weirdities, would you purchase their machines? 2) If yes to #1, would you join me in a snail-mail writing campaign to them to request they provide drivers for BSD and/or Linux - preferrably open source for one, or closed source for both, if it must remain closed for whatever reasons. 3) Off the topic of the main post, what are your top 3 vendors if your main consideration is the combination of (1) FreeBSD compatable hardware, and (2) Reliable/Honest/Intelligent and Customer Friendly tech support for hardware issues.

Re: Backing up SOHO server
Hmm, not familiar with dump or restore, but what I would suggest, is when you can get some down time, boot from a live cd, and using a dd/bzip2/split combo (or any other method of your choice), make a backup image of the drive as well, If you get a new drive with the same size/etc, it'll massively speed up the reinstall phase. When you recover, all you need is cat/bunzip2/dd to do the restore. It's quite a bit faster than a reinstall, especially if you compile your own apps - it saved me a lot of time when my notebook died.

general VM / KMEM tunables question
Trying to tune a new system (FreeBSD 6.1) for the best performance (moderately busy webserver, but nothing over the top). However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding documentation on VM sysctl tunables. I have run into the (somewhat common) issue before of running out of PV_Entries due to Apache getting busy, so my current webserver kernels all have the following in them: options KVA_PAGES=512 options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=401 However, these values were only chosen because they seemed to fix my problem, not because I'm entirely sure they're the best possible values. How does one go about determining how many KVA_PAGES and PMAP_SHPGPERPROC to set? Also, are there sysctl OIDs for these options? Poking around google, I've seen mention of vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shgperproc, but those OIDs do not exist on my system as far as I can tell. I also have the following in my sysctl.conf, but again I'm not sure how I initially came up with these figures (though they do work), and I wanted to get a better handle on my system tuning: vm.v_free_min=8192 vm.v_free_target=16384 vm.v_free_reserved=8192 vm.v_free_severe=16384 Basically just trying to get some clues as to how to figure out (based on system config) what these values should reasonably be set to.

Hi Jim,
usually (in my experience) this is done by changing the cursors you actually
use (rather than 'enlarge' the current by some software method).
On my 6.2-PRERELEASE system X cursors are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/
you can download packages and extract them in folders there, or simply install
them from ports (search for 'cursor' in the name). To change the default
setting (so it affects your login manager too, you need to edit
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme
For example, I have the following cursor packages installed:

this works, and I use XFCE, so i don't know those details about KDE or GNOME. I
think Enlightment has some mouse-pointer related settings, but it's been a
while since I tried it.

Question with mouse pointer
What's the best way to get a larger pointer on my comptuer? I'm running Xorg/KDE. I tried to look, but the only thing I could find was cursor profiles, and I'd rather not have to figure out how to create a new profile... Sorry for the lack of specifics and details, but I'm not what else to put here. Lowering the resolution isn't really an option either...

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
yeah the ports make me fell in love with FreeBSD, the only thing that came close to FreeBSD ports is the gentoo portage, note came close but not really at par. yeah, portage wasn't bad, but it wasn't as clean as ports either. More errors, more fixing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
Also, I'm not sure when you guys tried Gentoo, but as of late (within the past ~1 year), the quality of the packages and system as an OS has improved quite a bit, in the sense that many stable items now install and work properly in the OS. Another off-topic comment I admit, but I thought it should be mentioned... I've been trying to deal with it for the past two months, on and off. OpenOffice would not compile, Xorg took a lot of tweaking and a few attempts, and a few other programs provided a bit of challange. Only KDE went more smoothly than it did in FBSD. I'd like to see portage in FBSD though, since ruby is pretty kludgy. Either that or a different means of recording package data and dependencies (been thinking of Perl for a while..). Where does Ruby fit into this? To my knowledge, ports uses Perl to my knowledge, and Portage uses Python. And while I wouldn't mind a few of the portage features, such as about 10k more packages, and a few of the interface/display options, I'd still rather use FBSD any day. -Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
I have a few FreeBSD machine from 4.x to 5.x. I have asked people how to upgrade them to latest version 6.x cleanly. All I was told is that I need to wipe them out and reinstall. However, this is not the case with Gentoo Linux. With Gentoo, version release does not matter that much, you can always keep your system up to date if you like. Of cause, you can also choose staying at a certain version. I'm gonna join the whoever said this was on crack club. Going between major versions can be a challange due to mergebastard and the various config file change, but Gentoo's setup is really no different in that respect. However, when you want to compile the Kernel, the FreeBSD system is much mroe useful than that of Gentoo. I failed my first kernel build on FreeBSD (custom kernel config) before it booted properly, and have since done several more without issue. With Gentoo, after about half a dozen attempts at optimizing my kernel for my notebook, I gave up and used Genkernel, which was not as efficient, but at least worked. Linux supports more devices than FreeBSD, especially new devices. Spend an extra 5 minutes researching your hardware before buying, more often than not, this'll save you the issues. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
No offense to those who swear by it (and I know this is a bit off-topic), but genkernel is shit. It's kernel compiling for people who are afraid of forgetting make commands.. -Garrett I agree, but since I couldn't get a decent custom kernel booting, that was my only option. And speaking of sht, in regards to Damiens last comment - I honestly don't believe that it's just binary drivers that keeps Linux with better driver support - there are more OSS drivers there too. The reason? It's fecal - linux only; cares that it works, they care much less about documentation and quality. It's enticing to the a lot of the developers and made the community larger - Hey I can spend my time coding how I want instead of following standards and wasting time with documentation!!. Don't get me wrong, I think binary drivers due play an issue, by my BSD desktop had binary drivers in it too, they just weren't supplied with the BSD images (I don't think they would have been stored with linux images either). anyway, just another two cents of my own. -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
Well, in my case: - No matter what method I use to install packages in Linux (Apt-Get, Yum, Deb, RPM, and to a much lesser extent, Emerge, and to a *MUCH* greater extent src tar.gz's), I tend to have a lot more trouble getting installs to finish than with BSD in ports. - The FreeBSD community is much more friendly and helpful than the Linux community, in my experience. Gentoo's is better than other Linux communities, but still not quite up to FreeBSD. - I notice a lot smaller number of It's 'X' liscence, therefore it has to be good, or It's open source therefore it has to be good fanboys in FreeBSD. The users tend to be more of a It works, so it's good type. This really makes the commmunity pleasant. - The documentation of FreeBSD is much better in both organization and detail - while good documentation can be found for Linux, FreeBSD just takes a lot less searching. - I've found a lot of breaks in Linux where I couldn't find anything short of a system re-install to fix them without a lot more effort in searching for some obscure piece of documentation. Aside from once when I blew up my kernel build, I didn't have that problem in BSD. - It's less popular than Linux, so it's less commonly known/accounted for, and it makes you just that much safer from hackers. Note: that's not to say it doesn't have it's issues, like every other OS, I could name a few dozen issues I've run into with FreeBSD without much hassle (mostly related to drivers, UI, and parts of the installer), but that's a different topic alltogether. -Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The stand-alone machine does not have connection to the internet; however, I do have a set of four (4)CD from the FreeBSD Mall and two (2) of the CD's have 'ports' on them. I would like to select one, two or three ports to install on this machine ... to go through the steps and experience of the ports process using the cdroms, so ... in essence I'm looking for suggestions of ports of a small nature (if there is such a thing). I'm not sure how familiar you are with Unis operating systems or the various tools available for all of it's incarnations, so, I'm listing these with info as if you were completely new to it. If you are not, I do not mean any insult or offense, I just don't know your level of experience, so I'm going for something relatively low that would give you a wide range of sights and sounds in the desktop *nix world. If you aren't /that/ new, just look at my list, and pick and choose your favorites. Ideally, you would want to install ports that you could make use of more than ports that are small. Even the larges ports rarely cause me issues. For small starts: bash - already suggested, very good shell nano - light weight and useful text editor pico - like nano, but made before or after, can't remember which vim - again, already suggested, good text editor, though not to my taste. It is lightweight and fast, though not to the extent of pico/nano. sudoku - I prefer pencil and paper because you can make notes, but it's fun naim - a console IM program intermediate projects: emacs - another popular editor, the largest (in size, not popularity - don't know what is the most popular) of the bunch, but I know people who get a lot of work done only starting one program *ever*, this is that program. It uses a large amount of resources for just a text editor, but you can do a lot more with it, and on a modern machine, that large amount is still relatively neglegable. xorg - an X (graphics) server, which will be extremely useful if you want more than a console command prompt. gaim - a multi-im client. quite useful, it could actually be in small projects, but you need X installed before hand. gnome - this is between intermediate and larger projects, a good and popular desktop/session manager, again, not to my taste, for as much smaller as it is, it runs slower than KDE on my systems. Nonetheless, a lot of people like it, and you should give it a try. * - Just about anything in the games directory Big projects KDE - like gnome, but more friendly to the people who like gui configuration, less friendly to those who like text configuration. I find it faster, but that could be because I have a lot of memory on all my machines - it's definetly larger. Might be the whole space for speed tradeoff that you can sometimes do, I don't know. Regardless, be prepared for a challange, you may not (read: probably won't) be able to get the full KDE running due to some apps not compiling. Read the updating file, and you may have to try kde-lite. openoffice.org-2.0 - a nice office suit, be prepared for a challange!

ndis + Linksys WPC54Gv3
I have just picked up this card for my notebook. On this site: http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2006/02/linksys-wpc54g-with-freebsd-yesterday.html it is reported to work. I have inserted the card, the status light on it blinks green then goes off. I ran ndis and generated the driver as specified, kldloaded the wlan_wep module, followed by ndis, followed by the card driver. After that I checked dmesg - the card did not appear (nothing with ndis or the card driver name). No errors came from kldload, and there was no ndis entry in /dev or /dev/net What's the next step in diagnostics?

Heavy internal network traffic seems to upset other network processes
I have a FreeBSD 6.1 machine with two em nics, one of which is set up as external for the Internet-facing side, the other is internal (100Mbit) and is connected to a small switch with a few other machines. Occasionally I will transfer large files across the internal link and, when doing so, other network related applications seem to grind to a halt and the system seems to be working very hard. In fact, mySQL will actually stop accepting incoming requests during the file transfer, which is the biggest side effect I'm having because of the problem. I'm wondering if it's some kind of tuning option I need to set, but I'm really not sure where to look. I have maxusers set to 256, nmbclusters is 8192 (maybe this should be higher?). Any help would be appreciated.

There is a well known problem with IPSec across NAT-firewalls: Authenticated Headers don't work.

Re: freebsd livecd and pentium 1
That is pretty small. At the bare minimum level, you might be able to get it up and running, but not be able to do much of any real work on it without more memory. You didn't mention the amount of disk on the machine, but if you want to run X (needed for a Gui) then it will take more that a couple of GB and if you want KDE or Gnome to manage your Gui, it will take even more. I don't remember if Pentium I will do the trick or not, but probably will, just awfully slowly. A P1 with 32MB should be sufficient albeit painful, but I wouldn't use any large scale desktop/window managers (such as KDE/Gnome), I'd probably use one of the light weights like TWM (and ION?), or maybe a medium weight (WMaker?), and no more. A memory upgrade is strongly recommended if possible. -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

network no longer auto-starts after mergemaster
I rebuilt my kernel/world, but now my network no longer auto-starts. I can easily start it with sudo ifconfig fxp0 up, which, while it works, is mildly annoying. Anyone know what file I could have improperly mergemastered to get this result? My rc.conf file, I'm not sure what else I should put in (such as my /var/log/messages; everything as of the last boot?): # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Fri Jun 16 08:17:49 2006 # Created: Fri Jun 16 08:17:49 2006 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. hostname=aragorn.ameritech.net ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP ibcs2_enable=YES moused_enable=YES linux_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES svr4_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES apmd_enable=YES Thanks, -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What were you rebuilding from / to (e.g., 6.1-RELEASE - -CURRENT)? I'll take a look at that file, thank you. 6.1 - 6.1 (just a rebuild of the kernel to make it more efficient, and the OSS tech support suggested it might get their drivers to work for my sound).
