Generally speaking, if you've got a question, you should first look in the "FreeBSD Handbook" at <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html>; to see if it has already been addressed. If not, then check the FAQ at <http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html>. If it's still not addressed, then search the archives of the FreeBSD mailing lists via the interface at <http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists>. If you haven't found any answers there, I'd suggest going to Deja.com (or some other news-via-web site) and doing a search on the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.* newsgroups to see if anyone else has recently discussed this issue there. After doing all the above, if you *still* can't find any answers, then your questions should be sent to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. Only if you're subscribed to a particular FreeBSD mailing list *other* than -questions, you're tracking that particular version of the OS on one of your servers (or otherwise actively participating in the furtherance of that activity), and you know for a fact that it's relevant to the list in question, should you then post it to that list. If you should happen to post something to -questions and it really belongs somewhere else, appropriate people will be glad to help you find the right list. All of this information and more is available at the FreeBSD site, most with appropriate links from the main page at <http://www.freebsd.org/>. Of course, these are all things that everyone who is subscribed to the -stable mailing list already knows, which is almost certainly the reason why you got the rather testy responses from other people along the lines of "Why are you posting this here?" -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
