I bring to you some trivial questions. The literature on FreeBSD says that I should reference a device by its /dev entry, that for the whole disk I'd use the -c-. Why does my floppy drive works OK with just mount dev/fd0? Do I need a ifconfig_tun0 in rc.conf for my modem connection? Any to any via lo0 - means anything passing thru lo0, the computer. Not thru the modem, which is Tun0 (PPP) So I don't have to worry about the security of this clause in IPFW. Right? I can't ping 10.0.0.2, number that I put in the hosts file for my machine. 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.2 my.domain Why? Could a DNS entry fix this? thank you, bye. -------------------------------------- "Nothing Unreal Exists".
