Thank you SirDice. junovitch had explained that to me, too. How can one interact with reserved parameters for login.conf? I am guessing scripting is out of question here. Even in programming, is there any examples I may be able to see?

Wow, I have some studying to do to figure out how to use LDAP. I'm always interested in learning new things :) As for sessiontime, could PAM (such as pam_exec) have some use in it? I haven't found anything in terms of 3rd-party software though. Also, how does it get enforced? Is there a way...

Thanks for the lead! I did take a look at that man page, but most apparently I totally missed that attribute. I'll do some more searching :D

Hello everyone, TL,DL; is there a way to assign login time/duration limit? I am currently trying to help/convince my father to use a small network of FreeBSD-based computers for his business. He is trying to offer access to computers for the visitors at his store. He wants the customers to...

Great! thanks. I was starting to think my computer had a personal vendetta on me haha. Well, at least one problem's being addressed :)

An attempt using portmaster -f -D -H failed to work, so I started rebuilding everything, including the world and kernel. It just finished. With some hope, I rebooted the system. No luck. Same error. I don't have any line in /root/.cshrc regarding any compiler. My /etc/make.conf file has...

Hmmm before diving into building everything from scratch, I decided to give portmaster -D -H -f a try on those 4 ports. One of the build failed, and, upon inspecting the log file, I realized the port was being built with clang. Prior to this, I have commented out everything in /etc/make.conf...

I tried rebuilding just the four ports, but no luck. I guess I'm off to rebuilding the whole thing again.... thanks for the help :)

OK, I will see if that helps. Should I rebuild every port with gcc, or should I just try rebuilding converters/iconv? Well, occasionally my computer would suddenly stop and reboot. I disabled coredump after awhile getting annoyed with having to wait in the boot process for core to process :s...

Alright. I'll deal with them later :) Thanks Do treat me like I'm oblivious because I really am haha. I used portmaster -D -H to rebuild them. My understanding is that, unless given a flag (forget which one), it would always clean and uninstall before installing. Am I wrong in this...

Thanks for the timely reply. That did return some information, though it seems unrelated; it says a bunch of files for openjdk misses libz.so.4 bootstrap-openjdk-r306764: /usr/local/bootstrap-openjdk/bin/idlj misses libz.so.4 bootstrap-openjdk-r306764: /usr/local/bootstrap-openjdk/bin/jar...

I have been using VirtualBox for several years to run programs that simply cannot run in FreeBSD. It had been useful tool in that regard since it meant no more need to dual boot :) After updating that 9-stable after the 9.1 release, however, my virtualbox won't run, complaining about kernel...

I currently use that drive. I cannot say I'm using it well since I have no data to support it, but I would imagine there's no real advantage of using ZFS on a single-drive system; at least from my point of view, the only advantage ZFS has over UFS is its amazing healing property which only...

The situation has been resolved. I should have been more thoughtful when issuing commands. The problem lied with the gpart bootcode: the message involved using the /boot/gptzfsboot when in fact I needed /boot/gptboot (or maybe didn't need to do anything at all since it already had it. Would...

I have a home NAS server that has 6 drives, each encrypted with geli, and boots from a USB boot drive containing a UFS /boot sector as well as the key files needed to access the encrypted drives. It had been running for about 2 years now with ZRAID2. Recently, I updated the /usr/src and rebuilt...

Recently, for an unrelated matter, I installed x11-wm/spectrwm to give it a try. I am back with openbox again, but something odd happened while trying out and going back and forth between the two window managers. In the process of things, I suddenly started getting bunch of messages through...

Yikes. I wonder if that is common place with this setup and FreeBSD. I haven't made the purchase yet and perhaps should wait a little while longer. I suppose this is better than the AMD counterparts, though, since their graphics support is nonexistent. In any case, thank you for giving me the...

I'm quite interested in how this topic progresses. As far as I know, the support for this chipset is under way with the support for Intel DRI/KMS. As for VESA, I wonder what kind of output you would get from xrandr. Perhaps it would give you clues as to the range of possible resolutions the...

@tingo Yeah, I wasn't sure on that note. At least it doesn't seem to be the intended in the design to be ran at boot. @wblock@ I rebuilt all of them back then. Recently, with your assistance in fact, I reinstalled the system into a new disk and rebuilt all the ports. The problem is still...

I'm not sure if anyone's even interested, but I've found a workaround to the trouble I had. I had a jail running in the system for some other purpose. I installed the game there and connected to it using SSH, and now everything works as it's supposed to. I'm still not sure what was causing...
