Re: change mediaopt of NIC to full-duplex

OK, but if a whole group is many many users, how can one pipe-in the
list of users? I have a similar problem updating one of my user groups,
and typing in a pw for each user is a little painful. Maybe one of the
shell wizards out there can give us a lesson. TIA,

Dell Latitude C640, very hot!
Hi I've got a Dell Latitude C640, with FreeBSD 5.4 stable. It works well, except for this: After a cuple of hours up and running it gets really hot. My fingers almost gets burned when I touch the harddirve, memory etc! According to `sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature` the cpu-temperature is usually about 50-60 degrees C. Which I consider i normal, but is it normal for the rest of the devices to be so hot? Is there someone else who has the same problem which I do with a simular computer? -Tobias ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This seems to happen when there is a long file name to enter. Please can you raise the limits so they are reasonable for manual ftp access. It is sometimes needed when for one reason or another one cannot obtain the file automatically. There are also occasions when the server drops connections on automatic access due to network delays. My experience is that the time settings are overly tight. Why don't you try a mirror site?

How can I have this happen automatically during boot without having manually to run this command as root everytime? Thanks alot in advance as usual. If you do like that, first ifconfig_wi0 will be set to DHCP, then it will be overwritten and set to ssid GISH mode auto wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890.
