Re: solaris firewall?

I am sorry I offended people but I was sending this as a fellow freebsd user to my peers in order to gain opinion on it. I am offended people react in such a way as to bite someones head off for asking a question of this nature no matter if its a freebsd list m$ list or linux...who cares. Thanks to

What prevents there from being a race with open(...,O_CREAT |O_EXCL,...)

Hi, In looking at vn_open, I see that it calls namei and then a little while later calls VOP_CREATE. If the user did open(..., ... O_CREAT | O_EXCL, ...), what prevents a race where one process discovers that the name doesn't already exist but another gets in and creates the name? Regards ---

Re: dhclient in background?

As default network configuration, we've reasonally chosen a dhcp configuration, which is great on a dhcp network, but ugly when it has to wait for timeout. We could modify rc.network by adding a & to the dhclient row ... Simply running dhclient in the background is probably not a great idea,

anyone working on a new file system metaphor?

Hello, all you BSD hackers! A major change to the "file-folder-desktop" metaphor is long overdue, and it seems to me that FreeBSD -- with Mac OS X as a large and growing "child" -- is the perfect place to start the revolution... ;-) If anyone has seen Scopeware (), yo

Use ipf on solaris; it's what I do at work at least. But yeah, this is a FreeBSD list; it offended me that you posted here for that type of info. Another good place to try is irc.freenode.net (I think that's right), in #solaris. Don't try #solaris on efnet unless you're a Sun god, because they
