What is the quickest way of writing large amounts of data to disk? For
example, if using the character device driver to write directly to a disk,
is filling a track quicker than filling the same sector on each platter
(ie the same column of sectors in a cylinger)? If filling a track is
quicker, is

Yes. Only people with special circumstances need DES passwords.

as per my last message, i discovered that an entry of:
:passwd_format=des:
in /etc/login.conf will reset the crypts back to DES.
note: passwd_format is not documented anywhere close to adequately to
inform people of its function.
also, is the new default for FreeBSD going to be MD5?
if so,

Hi!
(first time poster warning...)
I'm porting an Linux application to FreeBSD, and I've stumbled across
the dreaded SOCK_PACKET and SIOCGIFHWADDR. From what I understand, the
FreeBSD equivaliant of SOCK_PACKET is to use BPF? Do I have to use
that for the SIOCG.. call aswell?
Any hints would be
Hi
I need to do fequent ftp downloads. I would like to put
this in the crontab if possible.
In windows you can specify a file containing
all the files that you want downloaded.
Can I do the same on Unix
