Number 1 rule, when you rebuild a crashed system, use the same version of the OS and have documentation as to your partition sizes. pat.groce@state.sd.us on 11/09/98 10:01:11 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: Subject: unix is a problem: free bsd doesn't help --0__=0Ny5WFv5Zr9Xheu6YmDTfTZP0iCoNBuqjYEca7l4sfInIQGZW85sU3w0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable We had been running freebsd for 4 years to handle our internet email. L= ast week the hard drive crashed on the system. I had a tape backup of impor= tant files so i reinstalled using the new freebsd 3.0 version. My experience was utter horror and despair! The new version have severa= l problems - my ethernet card wouldn't work=A0 - until we turned the port= on our cabletron switch to 10 mbps instead of auto negotiate. I tried compilin= g new versions of majoirdom to get the listservs running - but all it gave me= were cryptic errors. Sendmail keeps giving me an error: sendmail[131]: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0, SMTP-DAEMON needs 101 in /var/spool/mqueue) and countless other errors. I have to shutdown the system every 10 hour= s and restart it just to telnet to it. To hell with FreeBSD. We are replacing all of the systems with NT versi= ons of sendmail. And it works great! I neat little GUI makes sendmail and t= he Exchange listservs easy to manage.The software may cost more, but in te= rms of staff time, we're saving thousands, not to mention all the frustrati= on. I read all the news on how unix is going to give microsoft a run for th= e operating system market. I don't believe it for a second. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Patrick Groce Communications Network Analyst Bureau of Information & Telecommunications State of South Dakota pat.groce@state.sd.us P:605-773-4859 F:605-773-3741 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message = --0__=0Ny5WFv5Zr9Xheu6YmDTfTZP0iCoNBuqjYEca7l4sfInIQGZW85sU3w0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
