As a start your pf.conf could look a bit like this:
#
ext_if = "tun0"
int_if = "em1"
localnet = $int_if:network
set block-policy return
set skip on lo0
scrub in all
nat on $ext_if from $localnet to any -> ($ext_if)
antispoof for ($ext_if)
antispoof for $int_if
block in log all
pass inet from { lo0, $localnet } to any
pass out on $ext_if all

Exactly. Instead of copying new mail to a Favorites folder or displaying *all* Favorites folders, this folder only displays a folder if there's new mail in it. Do you have a MUA in mind? You could give the build-in email client of Opera - M2 a try (pop3, imap, rss, atom, newsgroup support). It saves emails only once, has very nice filters, auto-identifies mailing lists. Unread messages have their own folder, once read they go to the correct view. All messages are indexed and saved in a database. Find-as-you-type is very nice and fast. Active contacts/threads are put in a seperate view, so they can be found easily. Sort/search by label you have given to an email or by attachment. etc. Just take a look here and test it yourself: http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/mail/ BUT one thing is missing and might be the 'showstopper' for you, SMIME/PGP. Hopefully this will be added in the near future, since they have already changed the client a bit for Opera version 9.0. Right now M2 is a good cross-plattform email client, when PGP will finally be added it should be a _very_ good one.

Take a look at my posting from Sat, 26 Mar 2005 09:41:15 +0100 "java / azureus core dumps if cputype is set in make.conf" Apart from that I had similar problems with the latest stable version of Azureus 2.2.0.2, where it would shut down without any good reason. According to the Azureus website there might be a problem with the caching. I tested the old stable version 2.1.0.4 (just copied the jar-file into /usr/local/share/java/classes and renamed it to azureus.jar) and it worked fine. Right now I am using the beta-build 2.2.0.3_B53 (latest B54, still need to test this myself) which seem to be quite stable and faster. Give it a try.

X installed and worked fine, but the internal graphic was to slow to playback xvid-movies with mplayer, an external pci-graphic card should solve this. The soundchip was supported out of the box too.

The NICs, HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only tested this on an EPIA M-1, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.)

Once 9.1 will be release soon, you will see something like that: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/installation.html You should of course backup your data. I did an upgrade from 8.3 to 9.1-RC3 recently without problems. But keep in mind that you will have to recompile/ reinstall all installed ports.

As far as I know 5.2.1 was the CURRENT-branch which let to the 1st STABLE 5 version FreeBSD 5.3 . Quote from http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html : "Early adopter - Releases which are published from the -CURRENT branch will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 6 months after the release." As you found out yourself, RELENG_5_2 was never officially supported.

Get the latest beta-build (Azureus2203-B62.jar) from the Azureus website and replace /usr/local/share/java/classes/azureus.jar with it (remember to backup the original file). The beta-builds work more stable for me (no crash or shutdown so far).

It's a known problem and will be fixed as soon as possible. Check the
