Re: moving everything except a directory

I use

tar cvf /<directory with a lot of space>/<my name>.tar 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
cd <new directory>
tar xvf /<directory with a lot of space>/<my name>.tar

I usually do

cd <original directory>
find . ! -type d -print > files.txt
vi files.txt - edit out files I don't want
tar cvfT /<dir with space>/<orig name>.tar files.txt
cd <new directory>
tar xvf /<dir with space>/<orig name>.tar

which lets me copy files beginning with "." in the root of the directory 
(tar will skip these in the root, copies them in subdirectories).

You also have to worry about permissions if there are executables or files 
you don't own in the directory.

There are much neater ways of doing this, but this method leaves a backup 
copy in the tar file.

Did you make the entry into fstab and rc.conf?

BIND9.3.1

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how 
to re-create the chroot environment for Bind 9.3.1 in FreeBSD 
5.4-STABLE. I had an admin carelessly delete the /var/named directory 
(not a production box though) and I am trying to find a way to recreate 
this environment.

Also, I noticed that the port (/usr/ports/dns/bind9 - also the binary 
package from the mirrors) do not recreate /etc/namedb/ with the 
configuration files as well.

Thanks,
-kenny

With my tongue only 2/3rds of the way in my cheek,
based on the subject line of all your posts this month, 
I'm going to suggest either one of:

1.  Go to Yahoo.com and click "Free mail: sign up"
(a wimp's way, dare I say?     [Hmm, I guess I
should have taken notice of your e-mail address
before I said that.  Nothing personal*, believe me....]

or:

2.  Perform the following, as root.

# cd /usr/ports/mail/mutt
# make install clean
# rehash
# echo "alias mail mutt" >> ~/.cshrc
# source ~/.cshrc

Support for SIS 760GX, and SIS 965L

Can anyone tell me whether FreeBSD stable currently supports these two 
chips.
North Bridge: SIS 760GX
South Bridge: SIS 965L

Asus seems to like them for its AMD barebones units.

Thanks, Graham/

HP NC6000 with FB 5.4

Hello, everyone

I'm a newbie here and to FreeBSD. Just installed FB5.4 in my notebook less 
than two months. After a lot of stuff have been done, I now can use my 
laptop 
with FB5.4+KDE3.4.2 as smoothly as using Windows before, even more 
efficiently^_^

But there is still some problems that I do want to fix in order to make my 
NB 
look more perfect. The question is: Can I use all of the buttons in my NB, 
say the Mute button, the Volume control buttons, and Wireless ON/OFF button.
Although I can already control the volume of my soundcard and connect to 
wireless lan using the wireless NIC, I still want these buttons to work, 
just 
as in Windows.

Does anyone know how to deal with this? Any suggestion will be appreciated!

FreeBSD 5.4 router with pf nat, bug?

  Hi,

  I have 5.4-RELEASE-p6 test router and I wanted to do all routing/fw 
with pf, to learn more pf...
I have added to kernel options:
device pf
device pflog

options ALTQ

Setuped jails with 172.22.x.x address and local network I have 
192.168.x.x addreses...

ifconfig rl0 is real ip and maped jails... rl1 is internal network...

/etc/pf.conf now looks like:
---------------------------------------------
ext_if="rl0"
int_if="rl1"

set state-policy if-bound
set loginterface $ext_if

scrub reassemble tcp fragment reassemble

nat on $ext_if from 172.1.1.1/8 to any -> ($ext_if)
nat on $ext_if from 192.168.1.1/8 to any -> $ext_if

rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from any to 159.148.155.14 port 8080 ->
