Late last December my small network began falling apart. Still
not sure how, but a fellow from Dallas came to my rescue and from
his home, slowly rebuilt and re-configured everything. E.g.: for
one thing, where I hack sendmail working via various kludges, he
set up imap. I had thought that was mostly for students....
He also filled me in on jails. Previously, I had my 1998 Kayak
doing DNS and mail and web solo. Jon created a jail and set
things up there. He used NFS to bring over things from a faster
computer. That's well and good; it makes sense to compile a
suite that takes days on sage [Kayak @ 400MHz] on my Dell8200
[2.4GHZ]. A few days ago I realized that I was missing some
simple programs on sage. I went into ports: empty. Years ago
there was a standalone script that let you fix or tune things.
I thought it was on the hard drive as well as the CD set.
Anybody?
thanks for any clues!
