carefully in order to tell. You may even have to jot
down the model numbers and research them at home before making the purchase.
Even better, buy an external modem that connects to your serial port. (That's
9-pin serial, not USB.) These are always hardware modems, are a lot easier to
debug than
is that it requires its own
special tools. Whenever I need to create or modify FreeBSD partitions and
labels, I just boot an installation CD and use the fdisk and label utilities.

I had a similar problem on 4.10 awhile back. After checking and rechecking the
hardware and swapping out power supplies, I noticed that the reboots rougly
coincided with heavy outgoing Samba traffic. I upgraded to 5.2.1 and haven't
had a problem since.

smbfs has had
little attention lately and doesn't like the changes that have been made to
Samba since 2.x.
Alternatively, some of the recent patches to 5.2.1 may have had some positive
effect on the client's smbfs. Wish I could be more specifi
ys I use a wiki hosted on
internal network for all of my documentation. Extremely easy to use and you
can organize it much better than a flat text file or even a journal. There are
quite a few wikis in ports. I use MoinMoin, but I want to switch to something
more lightweight but with similar syntax.
Except that the man page for ifconfig will tell you nothing about the
correctness of your entries in rc.conf. For that you have to reboot. Most of
us here can glance at them and say yea or nay, but most new users can't. And
the ifconfig man page is not really newbie material either.
Ch

this issue prevented a jailed Postfix from accepting any incoming messages at
all and was a showstopper for many people. Just Google for "postfix jail" and
you should find information on it.

This patch probably hasn't made it into the port because it completely
bypasses a moderately important check. As long as you keep a close eye on disk
