Hello, I've been using rsync to keep two boxes in sync until one replaces the other. To make things a bit more to my liking and to make apache's userdir config a bit simpler, I have added a number of symlinks in the new machine's /home. Both boxes have hashed userdirs, ie: /home/a/auser, /home/b/buser, etc. So I have some symlinks like /home/a/aweirdo -> /home/CORP/aweirdo.

Hello all, I've been searching around and have come up with no current discussions on this issue. I'll keep it brief: In 7.0 or 7.1 is there any provision to have multiple IP addresses in a jail?

I got FreeBSD up and running last night (many thanks to Charles Sprickman for a ton of useful suggestions along the way), and took a look at tripplite_usb on an OMNIVS1000. The tripplite_usb driver basically sends old-school Tripp Lite serial commands to the UPS via HID SetReport packets, and receives responses over the first Interrupt IN pipe. Later UPSes seem to be m...
