Bridging - how?

2006-05-30 Thread Gergo Szakal
Hello, I am sorry to ask such a lame question, but how do I enable bridging in DragonflyBSD? I compiled bridging and pf into the kernel (needn't have done that?), then added the following into /etc/sysctl.conf: net.link.ether.bridge=1 net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=xl0 rl0 What further steps do I

Well, keep in mind, that in 2-3 years time there won't *BE* any single-cpu computers any more, at least not for consumer offerings. both Intel's and AMD's entire manufacturing line is going to be dual-core at a minimum, and higher-end products will be at least quad-core.

So, 2-3 years tops, and there won't be any more single-core offerings from AMD or Intel. Probably not even for laptops. This is really already happening, ALL of Apple's new latops are dual core only and the only single core Intel based mac is the cheapest Mini. On 5/30/06, Matthew

If some of the devs could do porting ftp-proxy (formerly pftpx) and ftpsesame I would switch immediately. Consider this as an argument. :-P Both are available via pkgsrc. ftp-proxy is in the pkgsrc/security/pflkm package. I didn't check if it was the newer pftpx rewrite though. And ftpsesame
