Reconfiguring network interfaces

I need to make several wholesale changes to a few different systems, and I'd prefer to do it over SSH without losing connectivity where possible. I know I can use ifconfig, or edit /etc/rc.conf directly and reboot, but is there a canonical way to make the changes in /etc/rc.conf and "reload" those

Samba/Winbind/nsswitch problem

Hello, I've installed and configured samba with winbind, to allow Windows Active Directory users to login without me having to create a local account for them. Generally speaking, it works (I can login, wbinfo -u|-g returns the correct data). I can login as a Windows user through ssh, and a

Hi Martin, I would have had to enabled nfs client if using mount_smbfs, correct? Nopes - stick to using the mount command. Depending on the filesystem you specify (with the -t option), it will call the relevant mount command itself (eg. mount_smbfs, mount_nfs). When I bui

(forgot to send to list the first time) Hi Martin, You don't need samba if all you want to do is copy files from FreeBSD to a Windows system. The easiest way to do it is to mount an existing Windows share, on FreeBSD. This will give you access to the Windows share, but nothing is shared o

SMB share not mounting at startup

I am trying to mount an SMB share at startup. I have configured (as root) .nsmbrc so I don't have to type a password. When I run "mount -a", it mounts beautifully. However, when restarting the server, it will not mount automatically. According to rc.conf(5), smbfs is part of 'netfs_types' so
