I found the answer: shells is a comma-separated list; shellpath is a
colon-separated list.
So my new /etc/pw.conf reads
shellpath /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
shells
Please forgive me if I've missed something obvious, but I've googled for this
error and get no results.
I want to add a new user with the pw command:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/pw.conf
shellpath = /bin,/usr/bin/,/usr/local/bin
shell = sh,csh,tcsh,bash
defaultshell
I have only one machine left running 5.4, but unfortunately it's a live web
and database server (tight budget!) so I don't like tinkering with it too
much.
I was going to reinstall it with 6.0 and I just wondered if there was any
reason why you shouldn't run a production server on the compat5x

Does anyone know how to send emails with attachments from the command line?
I've replaced sendmail with ssmtp and I can send plain messages with mail,
but I don't know how to go about preparing MIME encoded emails. Any
pointers?

Hello,
When upgrading a machine from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 I came across the problem of
how to re-compile all the ports to use FreeBSD 6 libraries so I can ditch the
compat5x port.
man portupgrade I should # portupgrade -aRf to force a re-compile but that
then brought up the issue of how to confi
I'm sure someone has done this before but I wanted to run my plan past
everyone to see if I've thought of everything.
Yesterday one of our development servers (running FreeBSD 6-release) croaked.
It was an old old old machine and we ended up replacing the board and CPU
with an MSI Neo2 Platinu

FreeBSD 6 came at the perfect time for me. I've just switched my primary
desktop from Win2k to FreeBSD, and I put the Windows boot disk in an old
machine that was heading for the skip.
I wanted to access the W2k machine (fred) over VNC without flooding our
switch, so I thought let's take advan

Is there a subversion system for FreeBSD sourcecode? Or there is only CVS to

If you were evaluating Subversion then it is stable enough to handle big
