SSH VPN Help

[Rob Hancock]

I'm hoping some of you can help me out a bit with this...I'm trying  
to setup remote access of my laptop at work via SSH tunnels between a  
FreeBSD box at the office and my FreeBSD firewall at home.


XP Laptop (work) - FreeBSD (work) - FreeBSD (home) - Mac (home)  
or Mac (remote)


I understand that I need to set up a reverse SSH tunnel from FBSD  
(work) to FBSD (home).  It's the tying in of the XP box and my Mac to  
either end that I'm having troubles with.  Should those connections  
also be done via SSH tunnels or should I use port redirection on the  
FSBD boxes via ipfilter or an equivalent?


Then end goal is to be able to use VNC on either my home Mac or with  
my Mac laptop remotely to control my XP laptop I'll leave at work.


Any suggestions would be helpful.  A general Idea of how everything  
should interact is basically what I'm looking for.  I'll figure it  
out by trial and error once I have a rough plan.


Thanks.

Best way to keep large ports uptodate

[Rob Hancock]

Hello everyone,

I'm a recent convert from debian based systems.  I must say that I am
very happy with freebsd so far.

Currently I've been using portupgrade to keep all my ports current, and
it works great.  With very large ports such as KDE/base/libs/etc it takes
several hours to compile on my little 600MHz laptop.  Is there a way to
keep the previously compiled objects around so when I upgrade the
next time only the changes have to be recompiled?  Or am I better off
just waiting until major updates and doing a clean compile then?

Also, top isn't showing any percentages as far as user, cpu, nice etc.
I remember reading that it is usually caused by world/kernel not being
compiled and installed together.  However I did just that...rebuilt world,
kernel and installed per the handbook.  This is with 4.10p2.  Only thing
I can think of is that I have CPUTYPE as I686 in my custom kernel and
as p3 in /etc/make.conf.  Should I try changing /etc/make.conf to I686?
The computer is a 600MHz p3.

-Rob
