Alt, phoenix:
Thanks for further explaining. I now have a better understanding of how to work with symlinks.
One last thing though, how do I replace the '/sbin/mount_ntfs' binary that I had destroyed? Since 'mount_ntfs' is part of the base system, do I need to rebuild my FreeBSD...
Alt:
Okay, I think I learn something new about symlinks. A symlinks is an object and cannot exist together with another object of the same name along the same path.
Since I had already issued 'ln -sf' on both '/sbin/mount_ntfs' and '/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g' as targets, that means both...
Thank you for your advices.
I used -f with ln because using -s only returned the error: 'ln: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g: File exists'
As symlinks are created one time, how do I get a list of the symlinks created besides having to check the individual linked files?
Since I had symlinked one binary...
I was following this thread to mount ntfs-3g at boot time. The solution involves creating a symlink from ntfs-3g to mount_ntfs which I'm not familiar with.
I'm on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. I'll describe what i did to my system.
I tried creating a symlink by putting
ln -s /sbin/mount_ntfs...
I was interested to try this out but gotten trouble with symlinks. I thought talking about symlink issues here would be OT so I created a new thread for it.

It looks like BSD Magazine will continue to be published! I hope BSD Magazine will get more support from the BSD community.
There has been development for an application layer classifier for ipfirewall - http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2008-July/019086.html - named ipfw-classifyd.
Thank you for the description. I have tried entering the commands you've provided. From the output, changes was made only to '/usr/local/man'.
I then reinstalled all ports which seems to have fixed the ownerships issues.
Thank you for the solution. For the code you provided, is it a shell script? I've yet to attempt shell scripting however would like to try. To be sure, do I add a shebang to the code above, then save to a .sh file and run it?
I am interested to know how the code works too.
I am running Freebsd 7.1 release. I have an 'ezjail' created jail and I was logged in as root with 'jexec'.
I wanted to "chown -R www:www /usr/local/www" because of some permission issue.
Instead I accidentally "chown -R www:www /usr/local"
Now the all the file and directories in...
Ok, I've never applied a patch before. From the link you provided, I assume I add the lines with a “+†in front to the following files:
src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c
src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h
src/sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c
src/sys/dev/mii/miidevs
and then “make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERICâ€...
It's an embedded NC105i PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter as HP calls it. Around the internet people identify it as a Broadcom BCM5722 card.
I'm sorry I couldn't get the dmesg output at the moment because The system was formatted and awaiting a re-download of...
Hi, recently my local HP had a promotion and I've gotten myself a Proliant ML110 G5 cheap. I wanted to run my 1st fulltime server and thought of running FreeBSD 7 on it.
I have fairly a bit of experience. Setup a NetBSD web server for a few months and played with FreeBSD based distros -...
