System perl version and Ports

Is there a way to convince the Ports system that I've upgraded my system Perl? All perl-related ports try to install into the perl5.00503 lib directory tree instead of into the 5.6.1 tree (which is my current Perl version). I've looked around anywhere I can think of for a config option to change

Setiathome question

Hi, I recently changed my /usr/local/etc/rc.setiathome.conf file. I changed seti_std_args from: -email -graphics To: -email That's the only line that's uncommented. Then I reboot (I know I didn't have to) Now I can't see setiathome in the output of top. Is the problem that seti must download a n

Performance Problems.. Server hardware smoked by $500 box?

Greets! I'm pretty confused right now with trying to determine the nature of a performance problem I'm having on one of my servers. The server is a webserver with a separate db/file server sitting behind it. The issue is that in pulling up websites from the machine, my silly POS developmen

Re: Running /etc/rc.firewall in the background

hmmm... /etc/rc.firewall is not an executable script. You should start with this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html If you have the necessary options in your kernel, you can make it start vi rc.conf or a simple sh script placed in a startup dir. Eitherway, ru

I have a small network of three computers in my office here. Two Windows 2000, and one FreeBSD 5.1. It's the BSD box that's giving me problems. My computers are connected to my modem via an ethernet switch. My modem is set up as a DHCP server, and my computers are DHCP enabled. When the input ca

Running /etc/rc.firewall in the background

I have quite a few firewall rules (FreeBSD 4.7R). This causes the server start-up to take several minutes extra. I wanted to have the rules loaded in the background; like so: firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall &" But, alas, that does not work. :( Is there a way to do this at all? Thanks! - Mark
