Hello
Which BSD for a user desktop ??!. I all ready have Linux mint but I like to try again, in the past I have use it but no luck in dual booting system with windows and I have try to follow youtube BSD users that gave instructions on the BSD and no luck. Everybody that I watch in youtube for instruction it hasn't work even loading the BSD on is own hasn't work.So which BSD for a user desktop??!

Re: [SSHd] Increasing wait time?

Is portknocking + firewall considered? There are ways to implement it, some are not complicated. J.

Re: FTP server behind firewall?

One of the cleaner solutions would be to run an ftp proxy on the firewall, such as that supplied with pf. See ftp-proxy(8) or http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ftp.html Unfortunately, the router/NAT firewall can be neither replaced nor tweaked, since it's a modem/router provided by our ISP. Actually, we don't necessarily need an FTP. Whatever solution to send files is fine, provided I can add this feature in a VB Classic client application. Hi, May be you can consider using sshd + sftp on Server. (Single Port for just about everything, see below) PSCP or PSFTP (from same as PuTTY) allow send / receive file via command line, eg. you can issue exec from VB to send files. pscp [options] source [source...] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:target (PSFTP is prefer over PSCP, but PSCP is simple) http://www.putty.nl/download.html Also, bind sshd on high port will prevent too many port scan and the connection is consider to be more secure than ftp. IMHO, sftp is more easily managed than ftp in the long run (Both Server and Client). ps. I also use ssh to forward 3389, the M$ Terminal Server (even XP has one), no need for PC ANYWHERE. If you need to solve problem remotely, you don't need to open another port (PC ANYWHERE needs 2). J. Running an FTP behind a home DSL router is perfectly possible. You will just have to open a range of ports on the router itself eg 25000-25050 and forward them to your ftp server internal IP address. Then set the FTP server to only use these ports for passive transfers. For example, I am using ftp/proftpd and have this directive in the configuration file: PassivePorts 25000-25050 You will, of course, need to forward port 21 as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Tuning make.conf
On Mar 13, 2008, at 17:32 , Luca Presotto wrote: Hi everyone! I was starting to think to recompile everything for my pc to speed up everything. I started googling and I found almost nothing about how to change make.conf on bsd. Almost everything was about Gentoo, somehow not unsurprisingly. Try man make.conf J.H. The first thing I noticed is that for linux all the instructions are about doing CFLAGS= value while it seems from /etc/share/examples/ make.conf that in bsd I don't need . Is it correct? Second question: If I set MAKEOPTS= -j 3 will that be used when portupgrading? (It's really to slow otherwise!) Third question...The most difficult..Which are the best flags for my machine? (freebsd 7.0-RELEASE with an intel centrino core2 duo) I have seen in the /examples/etc/make.conf that one of the possible CPUTYPE is core2 which looks to me as the right one but a geekier friend of mine that lives inside gentoo-linux told me that this option is unknown is gcc 4.2 and will be working from gcc4.3, so he told me to use prescott. And what do I have to set to make gcc aware of the type of CPU I have? CPUTYPE= cpu and then CFLAGS= --O2 -pipe (etc..) or should I not write the cputype and then do: CLFAGS= -march=mycpu --O2 etc Can someone give me some advice on how to configure this file? Or can you provide me some documentation?

Re: Tuning make.conf
Hi, On Mar 13, 2008, at 18:58 , Luca Presotto wrote: You're *really* wasting your time. I supposed that! Your system is doing no cpu cycles at all for most of the time anyway. [cut]Also, makeopts and -pipe just make _compiling_ faster, not the applications themselves!!!. I agree with everything. In any case I think that a faster compiling will really be a good thing. I have been reading another time the man of make.conf and I still have some doubts. Neither in the example either in the man page there is any reference to MAKEOPTS. Changing from -j1 to -j3 would really be a huge difference! Isn't -j depend on how many cpu/core and a faster harddisk / raid? In our small lab we used to install New system on some Very Old SCSI for testing (18G SCSI 2 I think). It takes 2x to 3x more time to build world / kernel than a New SCSI Ultra 320 HD on the Same machine no matter what we put in -j. Faster / Higher IO through put always compile faster. Also there may be problem buildworld and buildkernel if use -j IIRC, other method is required to speed up compiler when build world / kernel. Like not compile everything except what is Really need to be recompile. To be able to set this is very important. Then I don't want an ultra tweaked make.conf like gentooers do. Just a reasonable one. (And you have convinced me, I won't recompile everything. Just to have a good compiling when I will be upgrading) I have some doubts about the correct syntax, the man is ambiguous in this point. If I write CPUTYPE= core2 will it automatically sets all the best safe CFLAGS for my core or just set the -march=core2 Should my make.conf be like: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 CFLAGS= --O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing or just: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 or maybe: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 CFLAGS+= --O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing I remember seeing some thread in Stable@, Question@, Performance@ discuss about best CPUTYPE on AMD64 not long ago. J.H. Please take a look at the following pages, they have a lot more information about this matter ;) http://funroll-loops.info/ http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74072 Actually that's really funny!! I think that's why there are so many pages about gentoo and almost none about other OSes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
