I have a FreeBSD firewall which does packet filtering and NAT.
The internal address range is 172.16.64.0/24. The only filtering
is incoming on the external NIC, fxp0.
The machine also runs mpd for remote access.
By pure chance I was tailing ipf.log when I connected an XP laptop

My current situation is that I have a Solaris based NIS server
and various client machines, including FreeBSD.
A production FreeBSD 5 machine and a test FreeBSD 6 machine work just
fine with it, except for a small glitch on the FreeBSD 6 machine:

Still trying to migrate our NIS from an old Sparc to a Services For

for that. Now to move forward to actually logging in

We've been using NIS-based automounter maps for ages, using a
Solaris NIS server. Some of our machines use autofs type maps,
and some use amd, notably the FreeBSD boxes.
As part of a move to single sign-on I've implemented a NIS server
using Microsoft's Services for Unix installed on an Active Dir
I'm using a newly-installed FBSD 6 system to experiment with
Single Sign-On to an Active Directory network.
Samba is installed, the machine is joined to the domain, winbind
seems to work fine, wbinfo -u lets me enumerate users OK.
I'm trying to work out how to edit the files in /etc/pam.d to get

I've made a large .mpg file on a Linux machine (because some
tools, such as mplex, are newer than available in FreeBSD ports).
Here's a directory listing:

I want to burn it to DVD but the burner is on a BSD box, so
I nfs-mount the /home
I used to think that ISO filesystems were limited to a maximum
size of 2 Gb for each file, but now I'm not sure sure.
mkisofs from sysutils/mkisofs will not accept files over 2 Gb
but the one in syutils/mkisofs-devel will without a problem.
So if you install mkisofs-devel you can then use growiso

If anyone is successfully converting DVDs to SVCD (or
MPEG2 formats in general) I'd appreciate knowing what tools
they use.
I have been fine producing MPEG4 files with mencoder, but I
now have a networked video player (Hauppauge MediaMVP) which
doesn't support MPEG4 but supports MPEG2 just fine.

I'm trying to use rdist to mirror a tree from a 4.5 machine
("speyburn") to a 5.1 machine ("banff"). So firstoff rsh has to work.
This is root-to-root.
I've set up the /root/.rhosts on the target 5.1 machine and also
on the 4.5 machine so I can check it both ways round.
Logged on as root on the 5
Strictly speaking OT but the machine is running FreeBSD.

I'd love to understand the interaction between perl versions,
FreeBSD versions and perl modules.

and a number of perl modules from the ports collection.
The perl modules seem to install themselves under
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/
