Maybe someone can straighten me out on something - from what I have read, it seems like softupdates are supposed to accomplish many of the same things as filesystem journaling. However, in my experience with them, they seem almost to be accomplishing the opposite objective. Two or three times my

Samba and XP?

Good Day, I am currently seeking advice in regard to allowing an XP Home Edition machine to have access to a FreeBSD mount. I've looked over Samba, and not only have I seen references to XP's inability to join a 'domain based-network', but also don't really like the idea of installing Samba as it

RE: Syslog Configuration Question

By your question I see you think you are to replace to /var/log/messages line with this one. You are not to remove the original line but add this line following the original line. If I remember correctly this second line is like a continuation. If this does not work then read man syslog.conf for in

RE: Samba and XP?

You could go upside-down and use the FreeBSD machine mounting a XP-share. You say that you're using XPhome so ActiveDirectroy or any other Domain-Controlling issues shouldn't play a role. I think mount_smbfs is your friend. Best regards, -Harry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Good Day, > > I am curre

Re: PPtP Client to MPD to boxes behind NATD are very slow?? (solved?)

In response to many problems I've had with MPD as a PPTP server for Windows, as well as other's questions, I set up a test network and did a bit of experimenting. In my experiments, I found a number of interesting facts about PPTP: 1) PPTP doesn't do a lot of friendly negiotiation. If the server an
