There are some instructions available on the MySQL site here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-howto.html although you need MySQL 4.1 at a minimum. This will allow for near-instant replication of your MySQL databases, rather than one that is set on a schedule, which would reduce the data loss in the case of a disaster. You could implement something similar to an SSH tunnel for tunnelling the mysql traffic if you so wished, as well. I have written a quick little howto on my website, that discusses a similar project. I had started to write it a little while ago, but I forgot about it. Your post reminded me that it was still sitting around unfinished! You can find it at http://www.freebsdfreaks.net/articles/postfix_secondary_mx_mailbox_replication_mysql_replication_under_freebsd_failover_mx.html . I use this system on our mail servers, and it works quite well. If we ever encounter a problem, I have several options for allowing clients to still receive their email.

I know that I have seen some pretty nifty 1u rack servers for as little as $450. You don't to build it, but not a bad deal IMHO. hmmm, Do you have any links for that?

Regards, Sasa I've been able to successfully set up an openLDAP server pretty quickly using the docs at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/ The setup is pretty painless and simple. Populating it with useful data and schemas is more difficult. :-) For that, I've found that following the instructions for the basics will work, and I've also found using phpLDAPAdmin to be useful as well. cheers, Matt -- http://www.freebsdfreaks.net/ -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

My mistake. I'm not really up to date on the latest sound cards or video stuff. :) It also doesn't look like the emu10kx driver supports them either. From the Changelog: 09-10-2004 1. Remove Audigy LS and Audigy 2 Value from list of supported cards. They are too different from SB Live!/Audigy, according to their Linux driver. Oh well.

It used to be that I needed to compile the emu10kx drivers. Maybe if you included some more information, it would prove to be more useful. What is your dmesg saying when you boot up now? What did it say before? What happens with a kldload snd_emu10k1, followed by a kldstat (if it gave no error)?
