On an intranet file server, the users' private files are obviously stored in
/usr/home/username but where is the correct place to store files that are
common to many users? Would this be something like /usr/home/public or
/usr/local/public or even /var/public?
Thanks,
Tom Munro

Thanks Chris and Scott for your input on this subject - I've found it most
helpful.
The freedom to tweak the system to your own way of working is great, and I now
feel I am better informed on how to do this without doing anything radical
that I will regret in years to come.
Thanks again to you
I would like to run FreeBSD 7 on a HP ML110 G5. I understand from past posts
to this list that the ML110 series is FreeBSD friendly, but what about RAID 1
using the on-board SATA controller? Will this work and how do you set this
up?

As reported on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, running portupgrade with
the --ignore-moved option seems to solve the problem. It works for me anyway.

I'm trying to install gnucash, but this depends on g-wrap which in turn
depends on slib-guile, and "slib-guile-3a1 is marked as broken: Does not
install."
Is there a solution to this problem?

not? I realise that I can download the latest version with FTP, but it would
be nice if this could be done as part of the normal maintenance tasks.

Whenever portmanager decides to rebuild ghostscript-gnu, there is a huge list
of printers/devices that I have to deselect. Is there any way of saving the
build configuration for ghostscript-gnu so I don't have to do this every
time?

2) I use portinstall to install ports, but if I want to delete a port, is the
only way to use "make deinstall"? It would be nice if there was something
like portdeinstall that would remove the specified port and any ports it
depends on (providing they are not used elsewhere).

ld welcome suggestions for how to set up the disk partitions and Vinum
for this type of server. Also, should I be looking at FreeBSD 5.1 or would
4.8 be a safer bet at this stage?
Thanks in advance,

I shall be setting up my first FreeBSD server in the very near future. Can
anyone please tell me if FreeBSD 4.8 (preferably) or 5.1 will run on this
motherboard?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the very informative reply. I have searched the 4.8 & 5.1
HARDWARE.TXT files and can find some but not all of the devices on this mobo.
So I think you have convinced me not to buy that particular board!
The other option that I have been considering is to buy a Dell PowerEdge
I want to use my FreeBSD 4.9 server for authenticating logons to my Gentoo
clients. I've set up NIS server as described in the handbook, and if I run
ypcat on the Linux client, it is obtaining information from the server.
However, it is faiing to authenticate users defined on the FreeBSD machine

I had pear-PEAR installed until a couple of days ago, but I removed it while
upgrading various ports and am now trying to install devel/pear but it keeps
failing with Signal 11. Here's the output:
# make install

===> pear-1.4.5_1 depends on file: /usr/local/in
Uwe, I've seen the thread on the ports@ mailing list but there doesn't seem to
be any mention of a solution there yet. Have you managed to fix the problem
on your machines yet?

using portupgrade to upgrade to 2.64, but it won't work.
My questions are:
1) how should I manage ports in this environment?
2) should I use cpan instead of portinstall/portupgrade to manage perl
modules?

I've now removed the 37GB drive and run "gmirror forget gm0" again and the
system is running on the new half used 74GB drive.
How do I define a new slice and partition to fill the second half of this
drive?

Linux cp has a --link option that makes hard links instead of copies of
non-directories. The FreeBSD cp doesn't appear to have that option.
Is there a way of achieving this?
