hi hackers,
I'm quite new to FreeBSD but not in UN*X, please let me ask a question:
I wonder that the filesystem performance under FreeBSD is so great. I'm
doing disk-to-disk file copies, like ``dd if=file1 of=file2 bs=64k'' and
the performance is much better than on other unices. Other systems
Last weekend I dl'ed the Xfree4.0 distribution (for FreeBSD) from
Xfree86.org.
xvidtune gpf's on my machine (but seems to work when xf86Setup
calls it)
works great for me

mmm... this is for pam_limits.so in linux
has anyone ported it to BSD?

I don't see anything about session accouning in the pam_limits section
of the html docs distributed with Redhat (this doesn't mean they're not
present though ;-) What exactly does it do?
for example, this is very important on a ppp dial-up server:
$ grep maxlogins /etc/security/limits.conf
i just wondered what the maximum MAXUSERS setting for a 3.4 kernel would
be on a smp system with 512mb ram... the impact on the system structures
seems to be very... errrhh... rather complex.
any ideas? it gives me a warning if i got past 512, but what will happen
then?
see conf/param.c
There was some mention in the SBLive earlier this year (January), whatever
became of it? I checked www.posi.net and I do not see the driver listed
there at all. Pointers/suggestions?
it's listed there.
the guy does not reply the mails, however

I'm running a PPP dialup server. (mgetty-autoppp) Is there any way to do
login accounting (like solaris' PAM modules, or linux pam_limits.so)
A FreeBSD PAM module? ;)
We use the same PAM code as linux, so grab the source of the module you
use under linux and compile it on FreeBSD.
Did you see, `man 1 last` ?
Here is a sample output list of last.
tf051005.tf.or.jp is my ppp dial-up client.
dhcp100.tf.or.jp is my dhcp client.
of course accounting means more than just getting information ;))
eg. limiting, etc ;)

hello,
[moving from -questions, as no answers received]
I'm running a PPP dialup server. (mgetty-autoppp) Is there any way to do
login accounting (like solaris' PAM modules, or linux pam_limits.so)
Basically, I have to limit simultaneous connections, and monthly login
times.

hello,
what size of $SUBJECT should be used on a box with two _extremely_ busy
100baseTX interfaces?

Interface type/speed is less important than number of open sockets.
I've got an NFS server with a 100mbit card in it that is pretty heavily
used the whole day, and after 22 days of uptime, netstat -m shows:
72/596/2112 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
That's just using whatever
I need to build some new Multi-Head FreeBSD machines
in my lab using XFree86 3.9.16.
I want to know which VGA cards to buy
for Multi-Head (dual monitor) support.
Currently I have 1 multi-head FreeBSD machine using
Matrox Millenium cards abd XFree86 3.9.16.
It works great, but you
XFree86 was written to support one monitor per VGA chip
and cannot cope with 2 RAMDACs on one controller.
ok then need to use pci cards. damn.

I've just hacked a new ioctl into the ATAPI cdrom driver, which
lets the user to specify (pronounce: ``slow down'' :) the speed
of todays' extremely high speed drives.
ok, so i see you like the idea - so the question is: should we implement a
new ioctl for it, or - as like scsi - should we
hello,
I've just hacked a new ioctl into the ATAPI cdrom driver, which
lets the user to specify (pronounce: ``slow down'' :) the speed
of todays' extremely high speed drives.
It's a documented ATAPI feature, and is very easy to implement,
and I've found it very useful :)
first, you need to
