hi hackers,
I'm quite new to FreeBSD but not in UN*X, please let me ask a question:
I wonder that the filesystem performance under FreeBSD is so great. I'm
doing disk-to-disk file copies, like ``dd if=file1 of=file2 bs=64k'' and
the performance is much better than on other unices. Other systems

works great for me

for example, this is very important on a ppp dial-up server:

but login does not support session accounting that pam_limits.so does.
(it should support, but it's not implemented)

of course accounting means more than just getting information ;))
eg. limiting, etc ;)

ok, well - I've seen the sources.
anyway, what has accounting capabilities, and what are the plans about it?

hello,
[moving from -questions, as no answers received]
I'm running a PPP dialup server. (mgetty-autoppp) Is there any way to do
login accounting (like solaris' PAM modules, or linux pam_limits.so)
Basically, I have to limit simultaneous connections, and monthly login
times.

ok, so i see you like the idea - so the question is: should we implement a
new ioctl for it, or - as like scsi - should we
hello,
I've just hacked a new ioctl into the ATAPI cdrom driver, which
lets the user to specify (pronounce: ``slow down'' :) the speed
of todays' extremely high speed drives.
It's a documented ATAPI feature, and is very easy to implement,
and I've found it very useful :)
