NIS/YP/LDAP question
I have about 5 machines at home, networked together. Usually, about three of them are in use at any given time. To save updating various bits of info when I make a change that would affect them all (adding or renaming a host, changing a user password etc.) would it be a good idea to use NIS/YP or some such service? This way, I would only have to make a change on the server and have it reflected on the various hosts. What would be an alternative to NIS in this situation? LDAP? anything else? cheers, Rob Please cc me as I'm not on the list -- Evolution doesn't take prisoners.

port make options
I'm upgrading my installed ports with the assistance of the portupgrade tool, and I'm wondering if there is a way to specify compile options to a particular port. I know that it is possible to upgrade one port at a time with make options specified thusly: > portupgrade -m make_args Port_name but is it possible to install a port (Samba for instance), and rather than specifying the options a compile-time every time the port is upgraded, specify the options once only and have portupgrade or whatever follow those options? cheers, Rob -- What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

named problems
I have bind running to serve requests to my private network, and I'm getting
the following lines in my logs every 30 minutes:
Dec 13 15:04:22 erwin named[78]: fopen() of 192.168.100.rev.dumptmp failed:

What do they mean, and how do I either stop it, or let named do what it
wants?

Re: How to shut down cleanly by killing power

About the first thing I was tought about Unix system >administration was: "Always shut down properly". That's why I bought the UPS. How could you crash after the UPS has run dry? You say you are using NUT, then NUT should be able to initiate a system shutdown _before_ the UPS runs out of juice - check your timings, don't let the system run for longer than you have the capacity for. How can you send a command to the UPS _after_ the system has powered down? Why tell the UPS to shutdown - your UPS should be able to turn itself off when it runs out of battery. Maybe you should do "shutdown -h now" to actually halt the system, then when the UPS powers off everything is dead. If the power comes back on, the UPS recharges a bit and then powers up your system normally. Or maybe I can't understand what you are trying to do Cheers, Rob >At 22:20 +0300 22.9.2002, Petri Riihikallio wrote: >>Hello >> >>I have a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box and an UPS.
