  1. Re:File Transfers on Learn From Robert Watson Of FreeBSD And TrustedBSD · · Score: 2

    If you're using IP Filter (and not natd, I don't have experience with it) you can add the following to the _top_ of /etc/ipnat.conf:

    map ep0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp

    To allow active FTP through the NAT, assuming 192.168.0.0/24 is your local network and ep0 is your external interface. I use this on my NetBSD NAT machine and it works great.

  2. Re:What is next: on Learn From Robert Watson Of FreeBSD And TrustedBSD · · Score: 1

    If your machine isn't logging for another, set the following in /etc/rc.conf:

    syslogd_flags="-s -s"

    This will make syslogd only listen on a UNIX domain socket, so it can't be accessed remotely.

  3. Re:Why BSD? on Common Misconceptions About BSD · · Score: 2

    2 years of uptime isn't necessarily a good thing -- haven't there been quite a few remote vulnerabilities to Linux kernels in the past few years? I can't think of any that effect the FreeBSD kernel off-hand..

  4. Re:emulators on NetBSD/Dreamcast Official Port · · Score: 1

    i wonder if there are any plans to create an emulator, so netbsd/dreamcast users can play their dreamcast games from within netbsd... that would be a really neat thing, although it's probably pretty tough.

    It wouldn't be too tough if the Dreamcast's processor supported virtualization (ala IBM S/390)... assuming it was like the i386 processor, some work would need to be done emulating certain functions. If neither of the above, it wouldn't be possible without full-blown emulation.

  5. Online PTA meetings on Grade School And High School, School Free · · Score: 1

    Parents even dial in for an online PTA meeting.

    Yea, I can see it now:
    *** Parent has jointed #PTAmeeting
    Parent: Hi
    Teacher: Hello, I am Dr. Sbaitso. I am here to help you...

  6. Re:(OT) What campus? on Custom Kernels Used In Comp. Sci Programs? · · Score: 1

    I'm taking CPT at NBCC SJ, it's not too bad either.

  7. (OT) What campus? on Custom Kernels Used In Comp. Sci Programs? · · Score: 1

    Fredericton or Saint John? I don't know too many people in the area that use Linux or BSD at all.

  8. IPv6 on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Why not use IPv6 addresses as phone numbers? My understand is that IPv6 addresses are already allocated by region (ie if you're calling someone in your region you don't need to type the whole address).. we'd have tonnes of available numbers as well as a consistency between the internet and the telephone system.

  9. Re:Try 1.5 beta 2 also :-) on NetBSD 1.4.3 Released · · Score: 1

    1.5-release has already been tagged, they're just waiting for all of the builds to complete on the different platforms before it's released (the release branch is now tagged 1.5.1_ALPHA).

  10. Re:X 4 on FreeBSD 4.2 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Not installed by default, but it's in the ports collection.

  11. Re:Do gcc/egcs support the new SIMD/3DNow! stuff? on Intel RoadMap with P4 Stats To Boot · · Score: 2

    GCC doesn't, but ld from GNU Binutils 2.9 and above should support 3dnow! extentions. You might want to check out PGCC, http://goof.com/pcg/, it optimizes quite well for non-Intel processors (I've used it with Cyrix and AMD processors on NetBSD).
