port-fetch, ftp passive, and port priority

Hi all, some internet providers use a "feature" called "port priority" to slow down filesharing programs. The problem is, ftp transfers in passive mode are also slowed down by this "feature" (and ftp transfers in classical active mode are usually out of question because one has to open any firewa

How to debug the sound driver?

Hi all, from Release 5.2.1 to 5.3 there were changes done at the soundcard support. (The release-notes say so.) Now my soundcard does not work anymore with 5.3. I have carefully studied the manpages (sound and snd_sbc), and did not find out what I could have done wrong. Now I am in the need som

FreeBSD 5.3: Sharedlibs using sharedlibs (and Tcl)

Hi all, my question is, which references to other sharedlibs need to be in a shared library? When installing postgresql database system and the Tcl interface tool "pgaccess", I noticed that the kerberos support did not work. I installed postgresql 7.4.5 from the ports colletion as of RELEASE

5.2.1/5.2current ed0: device timeout

Hi, is there anything in 5.2.1-RELEASE (but not in 5.2.1 install floppies) that could make the system dont see the interrupts from a network card anymore? - the card configures fine, but reports immediately "device timeout". - in systat I can see that I see nothing: the system has not got an

Kerb.5 login hangs when uplink (internet) is down

This one is mostly for the records, as I recently had to fix it. If you - run the Kerberos5 kdc as distributed with FreeBSD (4.4, maybe others as well), - and have DNS nameservice running - and DNS configured to access the root-nameservers of the internet (or some equivalent configura

linux_base port install -> sig 12 (brandelf/SVR4)

Over last months, quite a couple of people complained that they couldn't install linux_base from ports. There is currently no clue given in replies about any reason for that failure. I am sure now that these people had activated the svr4.ko kernel module (rsp. svr4_enable="YES" in rc.conf). So

Re: Kerberos is set up - now what?

Hi all, as it seems to me, Kerberos5 is mostly unsupported in FreeBSD. Yes, this is going to be a rant. If you have an appropriate Kerberos support, no rsh, rlogin, ftp, telnet or elsewhat will ever ask you for a password, if you login to an account where you are allowed to do so via its .klo
