Compiling a custom kernel I do not believe qualifies as your own BSD OS. I think you have to branch it like OpenBSD & DragonFlyBSD e.t.c.

You won't know if it's impossible until you try it and fail repeatedly and grow some gray hairs from the experience. :-) But back to topic, I can see something like this being scriptable. It might wind up being one of those scripts that only works on one mail client which has been configured to display email in a particular way -- but seems like it could be done. -- regards, dg "..but the more you use clever tricks, the less support you'll get ..." -- M.W.Lucas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: email disclaimer
are you using X11? do you use thunderbird/mozilla mail client? i believe thunderbird has a fancy signature add-on that does something like that.

You might want to look at specific books targeting that software. Check o'rielly.For example http://search.oreilly.com/?q=sendmail Note: you can also look at google books for some of these titles.

Re: connecting to a secured Windows 2003 terminal server
what happens when you type this? # openssl s_client -connect :3389 you should get a response of "CONNECTED" or something to that effect. you might have to change the 3389 if you have rdp listening on another port.

Does anyone know how to do it? I wonder if one could: - add a 2nd disk and format and make fs and mount - tar up the entire contents of / (everything except / assuming that / is separate slice) to second disk. - blow away 1st disk. re-partition it as desired. - re-install freebsd and then untar what was originally tarred from second disk onto 1st disk. assuming that / is on separate slice. -- with kind regards, dg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
