    Peg package at specific version using poudriere?

    After updating my poudriere ports tree, sysutils/rubygem-facter was updated from version 2.4.6 to version 2.5.0. This is causing puppet to hang for 5-10 minutes at Info: Loading facts, but only for my bhyve virtual machines. I'm trying to track down differences between facts that test on eg...

    Solved Set terminal type during unattended install?

    That worked, good enough for me. [root@aman /usr/local/vms]# diff tmp/etc/rc.local unpackaged/etc/rc.local 16,53c16 < kbdcontrol -d >/dev/null 2>&1 < if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then < # Syscons: use xterm, start interesting things on other VTYs < if [ ${MACHINE} = "pc98" ]; then <...

    Solved Set terminal type during unattended install?

    Solved Set terminal type during unattended install?

    Sorry, rereading my question, and it wasn't very clear at all. I blame late night and hours of bashing head against desk. I'm trying to do this: sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 2 -m 8192m -d /usr/local/vms/guest.img -i -I /usr/local/vms/new.iso guest Where new.iso is a repackaged...

    Solved Set terminal type during unattended install?

    I repackaged a 10.3-RELEASE installer, and added etc/installerconfig. The preamble section looks like this: PARTITIONS=vtbd0 DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz" I'm able to use bhyve to boot into the installer, and the process executes automatically, as expected. The only issue is that I need...

    I ran a Counter-strike server on FreeBSD at one point.

    I'm lost please help me not to go for centos

    I'm using a very similar setup to yours right now. I have web, email and database servers running on zfs-based jails with a ZFS root filesystem. I use stock jails, and create new ones by cloning a master ZFS snapshot. I haven't had any issues using root ZFS, and it was relatively easy to set up...

    Anyone know about PTR records?

    A PTR record is not the same as an A record. An A record maps a hostname to an IP address. foo.bar.com -> 0.0.0.0 A PTR record maps an IP address to a hostname. 0.0.0.0 -> foo.bar.com It's common practice to have multiple A records for a single IP where needed. On the other hand, while it's...

    Anyone know about PTR records?

    If this is a home server, your ISP will probably only set this up for you if you have a static IP address assigned to you. If so, then yes, just email their tech department with the requested mappings. For a hosted server, the same thing applies, you should just have to submit a request to...

    Changing the system email

    Not sure whether this is what you're looking for or not, but I'm assuming you want to change the address that emails to root get sent to. You can edit /etc/mail/aliases to accomplish this. # Pretty much everything else in this file points to "root", so # you would do well in either reading...

    wanted - advise for learner

    Absolute FreeBSD is a great book and well worth a read in addition to the handbook. There's even info on using FreeBSD as a desktop.

    Serious bug - X11 killed my system!

    I've had no trouble running X without a config on multiple machines. I also don't know whether I'd blame X for the system being unbootable. It sounds like you ran into an issue specific to your setup, and your filesystem got hosed by the hard reboot. Sucks :(

    I'm going to install qmail

    Those are all very good points, I should clarify. I'm very comfortable installing, maintaining, and administering qmail. I guess I'm pretty attached to it because of the time and effort it took me to get everything running just right. It's how I learned about email. I'd be able to, and have...

    I'm going to install qmail

    There's no question. I've already made up my mind, hence the title. Just sharing my thought process on this.

    I'm going to install qmail

    It's past time for me to migrate my mailserver to my new setup onsite. I've put it off because of my failure to document my relatively complex (at least to me) qmail setup in the days before I started documenting religiously. It's been up and running more or less unattended for almost 3 years...

    Portsnap not working in jail with NAT

    It's been almost a year since I gave up on this. Just thought I'd give it another shot, and got it working. The solution was a 1:1 mapping. In pf.conf: binat from $src_ip to any -> $ext_ip

    Monitor an IBM ServeRaid Array?

    Indeed The machine runs great other than that it can't tell me if the array is degraded. I might bite the bullet and try putting Slackware on it; I seem to be out of options.

    Monitor an IBM ServeRaid Array?

    Update: Found ipsstat, runs fine, system hangs a minute or two later. Somehow hosed my bootloader on one occasion. *huge sigh*
