Hello

I've been in this situation a while ago, and I found that:
- the BIOS POST sequence complains that there's no gfx card and beeps 3 or 4 times
- if the bios is set-up to ignore the...

My real problem is that the Linux gateway is using a "pre-shared ke", while the xBSD gateway is asking different keys with different encryption styles: encryption key and auth key. That i did not...

Hello! I have some trouble trying to configure a VPN with two gateways. One of them uses IPSec [FreeSwan/Linux] with a single key, 256bits length, specified in /etc/ipsec.secrets. As FreeSwan manual...

it's useful to install mii-tool. it works fine on newer cards but you may encounter problems with old cards.

usually works the generic svga driver, this is a good one to start with if your card is not [yet] listed in the xfree drivers list. you can use even an older variant of the same vendor.

i'm sure that the thread starter is not using none of the bsd family variant, but i think useful to say that root login can be prevented [in all .BSD variants] editing /etc/ttys and removing "secure"...

I know about nVidia cards that they're workin' fine under Linux, BUT they're not supported by their maker on fbsd, perhaps m$ sells a little bit bigger number of licenses :-) And, when Linux's...

You can easily do this when you log on to shell just by creating [if it does not exist already] the file named ".cshrc" in your home directory. This file contains csh's startup commands. There is...

File containing spaces on their name can be specified with an escape character [at least this works in tcsh] in this manner:

rm \ file\ name.txt

This fragment erases the file named " file...

I have a similar problem. I'm using a SoundBlaster Live! and I didn't found yet the mixer which can make use of SBLive's features... Not even bass/treble... There is an alternate driver for SBLive! &...

look at this example, i can asure you it's working, is a modification made to the default /etc/rc.firewall :

FreeBSD firewall has a default rule numbered 65535, which is "allow all from any to any" or "deny all from any to any" depending on a kernel option [IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT], when this option is...

my prompt is set as follows: set prompt = '[%B%n@%m%b] %B%~%b%# ' It works in tcsh. %B means /bold/, %b means /end of bold/

I'm using 95% of the time FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and I said this because Linux uses bash, and AFAIK csh is linked to bash, and in the same time csh on FreeBSD is tcsh.

I'm not sure, but i think that csh is the same as tcsh in freebsd, in such case, try man tcsh, you'll find some useful information regarding this problem there. If you're running linux, csh is a...

Your new computer is the one directly connected to the internet?

Read the man page for nat.conf and /etc/nat.conf, it's almost self explaining.

This might be your problem, check the space on your disk(s)

boot in single mode [stop booting process when it says "booting in 9,8.. seconds" and then write at the console boot -s] then re-run /stand/sysinstall and change security option

Use the "dmesg" command

There is another way to start the X Server:

file:/etc/ttys:
ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
#ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
ttyv8 ...

Try to update your kernel source and recompile. The fastest solution is to install the cvsupit port, and then update your source tree.

Yes, that's true, but a firewall can drop a packet, while a closed port usually returns "icmp port unreachable", and is harder to fingerprint the OS on the machine

You must create a firewall configuration file. Check the one which FBSD already uses as sample, /etc/rc.firewall, adjust it to your needs, and enable the firewall at boot time [add two lines:...

Network diagnostic starts from lower layers to upper layers.

2. Check data link layer [[I]C:\arp -a on win32 or # arp -a -n on .nix/linux]
