the manpage on openbsd.org defaults to -current which is quite
different with 4.9.

from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade50.html#rc.d :

rc.conf 'rc_scripts' variable renamed to 'pkg_scripts': This change
was introduced to make it clear that pkg_scripts should only be used
to store packages(7) rc.d(8) scripts names.


I just tried clamd and it worked (after configuring and passing manual
invocation of /etc/rc.d/clamd start which involves waiting for initial
database finished downloading using freshclam). This is my
rc.conf.local:

[edho@dalian ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf.local
ntpd_flags= # enabled during install
#xdm_flags= # enabled during install
rc_scripts="freshclam clamd gdm"

sorry, I was bored tonight and figured that since he asked in "ports

packages". I should've googled harder before replying.

And yes, I don't know what he's asking for so your guess is on spot.
Actually, I shouldn't have replied at all.

How would someone locked out of their own system when disabling password login?

(I guessed "home partition didn't get mounted" before which is why I

wicd is as small as network gui I can find in linux. Also I believe
pc-bsd made their own version of network gui. It probably depends on
kde or qt though.

vnc only requires one port. Even then no one should ever connect to it
directly so the port doesn't even need to be open - just tunnel that
one port over ssh.

(as additional bonus, it only needs one (two with shebang) line of
manual configuration at ~/.vnc/xstartup)

adding the entry to vista boot loader is a little bit harder though
(uses bcdedit)

what's the speed in windows (in MB/s)? memory cards are known for its
slow speed especially for write operation.

I'm using ZFS (two pools - data and root) on FreeBSD 7.1 and it seems
to be quite stable. The load is not too high but there's no problem
when compiling entire xorg and xfce with a qemu session running in
background.

don't forget to add sleep 5 (or other number) before ln to make sure
mysqld properly started first.

current problem for nginx is, it doesn't handle php-fastcgi process
spawning. AFAIK it can be solved with either patching php manually
with php-fpm ( http://php-fpm.anight.org/ ) or using lighttpd's
spawn-fcgi.
IMO, in general, configuring lighttpd+php is easier than nginx+php.

YMMV
