S and kernel is one of the
best ways to find bad memory :-(. It puts a stress on the machine

Someone else asked if you could ping the machine. I have found
that even when a machine is literaly dead you can still ping it,
as the NIC cards seem not to notice that every
hell of it and see what happens.
I tried the pdksh once and didn't like it. I went back to the

Try the above sometime >>IF EVERYTHING IS ON THE SAME FILE SYSTEM<<
and prepare to be am
nning / in ro mode and then copying
and/or taring the needed data onto floppies for restore once the
OS was reinstalled. After maintaing Unix system [ and variants] on
a least 6 different CPU bases since 1983 - I'm hard-coded to
having separate file systems.

Some of the hardest tests were those in the university - here are 6

Or the three USGovt tests I've taken. Two with 100 question and one

But on FreeBSD I always copy it to /bin/ksh [dropping the 93

checking /bin I find only pgrep and pkill NOT statically linked.

Think about it a moment. You you mount you have 'mount point'
that is typically directed to the fs that you have mounted there.
If nothing is mounted the mount point will get all the data.
If /backup had the USB mounted all the data would go to the USB
drive. If it's not there all data will go to backup.

person instead of the standard way of sending one email with all
addresses to the destination machine and letting that machine
distribute the emails.
That's just bizarre - unles you own the transport p
et running - in the
mid-to-late 1980s when I first came across it, I moved to 'smail'
as it was easier to run/undrestand. But by the early '90s I moved
over to sendmail and have run it for two ISPs.
As to handbook, if you want to know more than you ever wanted to
know about

By any chance had you performed a 'crontab -e' and screwed
things up and deleted the cron.
/etc/crontab runs the daily scripts you should be getting.
Having that also in /var/cron/tabs made my daily messages go
away.

Before I became self-employ

And the last time the qmail tar file that you get when you run
make has been changed was March 4, 2001. Anyone who even thinks
that a piece of software that it 6 years old has no flaws had best
re-think this. The last patches were in 2003.
ISTR that
eaning up after one of those messes will teach you a lot.
A friend of mine has a motto of "learn by destroying". Having
a system with only / may be one step along that path :-)

If you don't like spam, put in a decent spam filter, as someone
somewhere is going to get your address, whether it is from this
list or somewhere else. And this thread on spam is quite useless
IMO on this list - unless you need hints/help on how to filter
spam.
[Do a
k - and you'll learn enough so you don't
have to rely on 3rd party support - who don't really know what you
are doing with your machine.
As to power - my observation is that you can do more with FreeBSD
on machines less powerful than other OSes require.
