OT: Setting password from command line

2001-12-23 Thread Ian Chilton
Hello, Sorry for another off-topic post. I am creating a user on the command line with: pw useradd myusername -g mygroup -s /sbin/nologin -c description I now need a way of setting the password on this account, but it must be none-interactive as I want to call it from a Perl script. Any ideas

sysctl

2001-12-23 Thread Roger Savard
Hi, I usually use /etc/sysctl.conf to modify two parameters compat.linux.osname=FreeBSD compat.linux.osrelease=4.4-Stable The reason behind this is to be accounted for FreeBSD instead of Linux ... some day will have native freebsd code... I get this result now: %sysctl -a | grep os ... pcib0:

Samba performance

2001-12-23 Thread Roger Savard
Hi, I've used samba on my internal network, through a switched network as well, and without a glitch. If the performance improved I have not looked into the numbers but I can listen to an mp3 on a pc running (XP) through samba 2.2.0 while watching an Mpeg movie off the same server through nfs (am

floppy building again, snapshots should start soon

2001-12-23 Thread Robert Watson
I've trimmed some stuff from the install floppy (SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, P1003_1B, if_txp) and I can now complete a make release. This suggests that the snap-building machines may also now be able to complete make release, although we can only wait and see to be sure. I have not yet tested the ISO I

The theory goes that there are a number of TCP improvements, in particular a bugfix involving the newreno algorithm, that should address this specific problem. Once our first release candidate comes out, we'd really appreciate it if you had the chance to test and see if that fixes the problem. I

I apologize if I'm off. But it seems you guys are talking about improving FBSD 4.5 networking performance. I am currently using FreeBSD 4.4 Release. It works great, but there is that one problem Samba. I like Samba because it's functional. I don't know if it's Samba's fault, or if it's BSD's

Looks like your userland ipfw tool is out of sync with your ipfw kernel code (either module or linked in). Could you check your userland, modules, and kernel are all in sync? Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Project [EMAIL PROTECTED] NAI Labs, Safeport Network Ser
