Exactly, I just tried it and it didn't work :(. Yes you are right on, NFR is a sniffer/ids, but it is based on the OpenBSD kernel and therefore does not support multiple processors. I just tried bridging and it does in fact bridge all interfaces together, b

Hi:
I am new to freeBSD and I would like to get some
advice/recommendation regarding keyboard programming.
I am trying to port FREEBSD to one of the Indian
languages (and could possiblely be used for many of
them) and so I would like to find out how to program
the keyboard to accept key sequences

The current situation: I have some machines with static IP addresses,
and some other ones with dynamic IP addresses, permanently connected
or not.
What I would like: establish IPsec tunnels between a machine with a
static IP and a machine with a dynamic one.
The former solution I used: pipsecd,

- it's fbsd 3.3R on i386 as you may have guesssed from the mail headers.
- I use the new fbsd symbios/ncr scsi driver (the README says latest
