hello everyone,
I'm running linux-firefox on FBSD 6.1-i386. I also have diablo-jdk installed.
When I sym-link (what I think are) the java plugins for moz. into the
linux-firefox/plugins folder, i get some errors dure to ABI :
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared
library /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5
I am having a strange issue. I have a samba server (freebsd) that has
been running fine for quite some time no errors to report. I replaced
the system drives with fresh install of Freebsd
6.1 and updated to the current security branch. This was same version
of freebsd previously on the server.

If I may ask, out of curiosity. Why imap-uw and not something else that
supports maildir format instead of mbox? For instance, courier-imap or
dovecot are far better options.
Well, I don't normally work with Imap, so I was experimenting to
find out which client would work best for me.

Depends. If the device is present when the system boots, yes. If it

I suggest you have your ADSL modem changed to a
