Ftpd and man pages

Greetings, I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-Release. The man page for ftdp.conf shows some nice features that I am trying to use (e.g. user classification and homedir.) But the man page for ftpd indicates that it does not use an ftpd.conf file, which is probably why those features are not working. The man

problem creating filesystem snapshot

Greetings, I needed to dump the partitions on a running FreeBSD 6.1R system so I could duplicate them on a test server. The server is a Dell 2850 with the PERC 4e/Di RAID controller with 5 x 73GB disk array. So I thought I would try using the snapshot feature. I used the mksnap_ffs to create a sna

difference between deinstall and pkg_delete?

Greetings, I see in the man page for ports the following: reinstallUse this to restore a port after using pkg_delete(1) when you should have used deinstall. So I'm wondering what is the difference between pkg_delete and using "make deinstall" from within the po

transfer speed of USB on a Dell PE2650

Greetings, I thought that an external USB hard drive would make a good backup device. So I did some trial file copies. Even though the servers USB ports are USB2.0 and the hard drive enclosure is USB2.0 I was getting a little less than 1MByte per second of throughput. I do have the ehci device as

machdep.hlt_logical_cpus being ignored

Greetings All, I have installed FreeBSD 6.1 Release on a Dell 2850. I is has two Xeon CPUs. Seeing the comment in the SMP man page about hyperthreading being a problem in some situations, I added "machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1" in /boot/loader.conf file. Upon rebooting, the system still finds four CP

openldap-2.3 won't start on a 6.1R system

Greetings, I had a server running FreeBSD 6.0 Release with openldap 2.3.20 running fine (along with postfix, cyrus-sasl, courier-imap, bdb-4.3, etc.) I needed to move the system to new hardware, so I rebuild it using 6.1 Release. The ports tree has been updated so openldap 2.3.23 is current. After

Greetings, I am setting up a new email server using postfix 2.2.10 with LDAP for lookups and courier-imap. I have two accounts setup in LDAP. One is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the other is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The logs show that for messages sent to test, there is an LDAP lookup for the maildir quota, but

portsnap question

Greetings, Is there a utility that whould show what ports will be updated from the current "fetched" files? The man page does not indicate that there is a "show what would happen but don't do it" option. Thanks, Jon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org m

sendmail, sasl, ldap

Greetings, I'm trying to implement authenticated sending of email. But I want sasl to authenticate against my LDAP server. The how-to in the FreeBSD handbook is good but assumes only local authentication. The cyrus-sasl2 and openldap ports give hints that it is possible, but I'm just not quite get

HP NetRAID 1Si trouble

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to recycle an old HP NetServer LC2000r P3/733 with 256MB RAM. It's been running MS Win2K for several years with no problems, but has become too slow for that task. I need to setup an email server for faculty/staff/students to do authenticated sending of email, seemed a perf

trying to use ACLs

Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-Release and trying to make use of the ACLs feature. I've enabled it on the partition I'm using. I can set access ACLs on a directory just fine, but whenever I try to set a default ACL, I get the following: %setfacl -dn -m g:PR:rwx test setfacl: warning: no mask entry s

two default routes

I have two ISP connections, a 45Mb and a 6Mb. Depending on what block of local addresses a packet is coming from will determine which ISP I want to send the packet out. In essence the default route used for a packet depends on its source address (for traffic leaving our campus.) Can someone tell me
