Message-ID: <20021023192440.Q263-100000@dhcp-407-32.san.rr.com> Organization: Video2Video Services - http://Www.Video2Video.Com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Good evening, I ran `ps auxww | more` and noticed some processes in parentheses. One that did not have a manpage (I suspect some other process kicked it off?) was vnlru and all I could find out about it are the following: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=vnlru+freebsd&btnG=Google+Search http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20020120.freebsd-stable.html http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=489990+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20020120.freebsd-stable http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=491439+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20020120.freebsd-stable This explanation seemed the most authoritative: http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/10.31.shtml But one post said something about ipfw (which I do not yet run). I've been trying to get the program "gaim" to direct connect and want to make sure my IP is not "masked" in a firewall or proxy sort of way. What else is there to check, using `ps auxww`? Thanks as always and ever after, PS - Is `arp -a` the most reliable way to get one's current IP address? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
