This has been driving me nuts and I hope someone here can help point me in the right direction. I've freshly installed 13.0-RELEASE on a server. I've installed Samba 4.13.7 and Avahi (packages samba413 and avahi, installed using pkg and not ports). My /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf file is as...

I tried to upgrade my file server from samba410 to samba411, but I had to revert back to 4.10 because of a very strange issue: The creation date of some folders is not transferred to the client. This is causing problems because I'm using a Mac to access my shares and Finder greys out the...

I am trying to repurpose my old iMac as a FreeBSD 11.1 workstation and I'm getting a whacked out screen when I boot into the installer from EFI USB after selecting, 1. Boot into Multiuser, in bsdinstall. It looks like the horizontal scan is off on each row and as a result the screen is...

Hi, As some of You know there is net-mgmt/networkmgr which allows convenient/graphical Wireless and LAN connections switch. What I miss in it is the WWAN connection management, DNS management, optional MAC generation and network shares unmount at disconnect. With my solution you still need to...

Hey guys I'm new @ BSD and this forum - so sorry if my question is duplicated or somehow not in line with rules of this web (as far as I have investigated none of those apply) I was asked to write a program (python preff) which will return IP and MAC of all peripherals connected to server...
