Well, I solved this problem. At least I got imapd to work with thunderbird on macos. I did install a new cert, but it was a bit of fiddling with the server and the client, which I find a bit of magic. In any case it now works.
I believe that now is more than 6 months that I have been using FreeBSD (Desktop) as daily driver at $WORK but also at $HOME for my personal business, and I am extremely happy and satisfied!
I still have Linux on my small laptop (mainly because...
I tried mounting a UFS partition on Debian but it seemed to need all sorts of things I couldn't figure out so I went back to OpenSuse and am copying UFS partitions form my 'inaccessible' disk to my server for backup purposes.
When it's all...
Share what is missing, someone may have a suggestion for you to overcome any barriers. There are plenty of geniuses here and they all share the same enthusiasm for FreeBSD and are more than wiling to help anyone sort out any problem.
I see one of my posts has made it into Vermaden's Valuable News. Famous at last! :-)
Edited to add: I see my 2.11BSD post also made https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/04/13/valuable-news-2026-04-13/
There seems to be a misunderstanding. Throughout the entire instructions above, none of the server's local root file system is exported.
You’ve likely confused the NFSv4 tree root with the server’s root file system. Those are two entirely...
balanga and Stefan2, the following example is a simple NFSv3 and NFSv4 ZFS "sharenfs" configuration:
/etc/rc.conf
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfsv4_server_enable="YES"
/etc/exports
# Assuming /home/GRUPPE is the mount point:
V4: /home/GRUPPE...
no zfs is needed for anything. UFS2 is just fine.
When you format a drive as "UFS" today, you are almost certainly using UFS2 as the physical format, while the FFS code handles the reading and writing.
I had to add the FFS option to make the MINIMAL kernel booting. Am I missing something? Do I have to reinstall FreeBSD through ZFS to make it work? Thank you!
Hi guys, I know this is happening but it's unclear why. I'm trying to get some assistance from the dev who created the ports framework bits for generating the offline/reproducible tarball of the npm libraries/dependencies. It's supposed to be...
I don't use it, but I wonder if it's similar to the Linux iwd, (that's a daemon, but it includes iwctl which can be useful). https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd
wpi_cli allows you to dynamically connect to the wpa_supplicant socket and control it dynamically. I.e so you don't need to terminate and restart the wpa_supplicant daemon if you want to change to a different access point.
It also can modify and...
wpa_cli allows you to connect to a password protected wifi network from a cli (command line interface, aka terminal). It's very useful because it outputs a lot of useful information about wpa authentication and you can choose to output a lot of...
ifconfig will only scan, if i'm correct not assign an IP-address.
wpa_cli will read wpa_supplicant and try to assign an IP-address to your wireless device & set routes.
Hi folks,
I am running FreeBSD 15.0. I had to migrate the installation to a new harddrive after the old one was beginning to fail. At the same time, I switched from an UFS based installation to one based onzroot.
Most programs runs just fine...

That's not true. One can use /etc/exports to define the shares by directory path (e.g. /home/GRUPPE -network 192.168.2.0/24 -alldirs). If defined in this manner, the file system is unimportend. It can be UFS standart directories, ZFS datasets...
Your link of opendoas said:
"Description:
This is a port of OpenDoas, which in itself is a port of OpenBSD's doas forLinux and MacOS. OpenDoas unlike OpenBSD's doas supports persist on FreeBSD(and Linux + MacOS)."
Unfortunately persistence of opendoas is not like-for-like with persistence of doas on OpenBSD. To quote Ted Unangst, original creator of doas: https://web.archive.org/web/20250812140828/https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas-mastery
This is why...
If the same data is NFS shared, no seperate dataset (definitively no seperate pool) is necessary for the two protocols. To mount a share with the NFSv4 protocol is to define a NFSv4 tree root and use the "nfsv4" mount option as shown in the...

The red highlighted "mountd" and "rpcbind" services are unnecessary, those services are started automatically (NFSv4 even doesn't require "rpcbind"). Also, all the other red highlighted are unnecessary.
The blue highlighted may or may not be set...

Seemingly mounted fine 4 days ago (booted oS TW LiveUSB to backup 15.1); I didn't try write, but it mounted after modprobe ufs (iirc ufs is default blacklisted)

I'm not an expert but I remember I read several articles about exporting nfs shares with zfs before it worked.
This is how it works in my local network:
The name of my zpool is rpool
I want to export the directory /home/GRUPPE with all...

I'm not familiar with what ZFS sharenfs does or how to invoke it.
I just found https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/zfs-set-sharenfs-multiple-hosts.94811/
