Booting question

2009-05-10 Thread Michel Di Croci
Hello! When I boot, it takes about 5 mins before being up and running. Since it's my first FreeBSD, I didn't thought there was an issue, but I think there's one ;) I have a P4 2.8 HT which is too bad computer and I really think the issue is in freeBSD and the Giant Locked and stuff like that. The

Handbook Question

2008-04-22 Thread Edward Ruggeri
Hi All! Still reading through the FreeBSD handbook. I'm at section 5.5.3; it discusses how to edit the /usr/local/etc/fonts/local.conf file to adjust how X11 handles the anti-aliasing of fonts. It ends (about) with this sentence: "Anti-aliasing should be enabled the next time the X server is sta

Hi all I am using ipf associated with ippool. When I need to change /etc/ipf/ippool.conf, say add a new member in a group, ippool -F and ippool -f /etc/ipf/ippool.conf doesn't seem to work. I also tried reloading the ipfilter rule by 'ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf/ipf.conf', but ipf doesn't seem to re

Hi there. I'm stuck with splitting input and output traffic. I can't use srcaddr/dstaddr as the machine generating traffic gets dynamic ip's. I'm thinking of using input/output for that purpose, but it's not clearly stated how this parameters are populated. I.e. for outbound connection we got

Hi, This isn't really a FreeBSD question. But I figure most people on this list would know the answer and so I'm asking. I've tried to get the answer out of Google, but I guess I am not asking it the right question and so not getting much hits. I understand that the defau

Hey, What I'm trying to do involves FreeBSD and IP aliases. Hopefully someone has some ideas. Here's the general idea of what I'm trying to do: I've got vr0, which is assigned to some IP address... let's say: 192.168.1.90 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is all fine, and everything wor
