First problem: i recently installed two SMC9462TX gigabit cards in my server, compiled the nge module in kernel, everything fine so far. However, even though when booting i get the message "ng1 gigabit link up" and "ng2 gigabit link up", only ng1 works; ng2 refuses to accept the ip i give, can't ping it, nothing (btw, the NIC is working, tested it on another system). What could be the problem? (while i wrote these, after installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on another computer that has 3 100 Mbit SMC cards that were recognized by FreeBSD, only the first, the one that i configured during the install is working, the other two again won't accept the ip-s and refuse to work [no error messages]). 2. I recently configured a samba PDC (FreeBSD 5.2). Everything is working smoothly. Now i have to make another computer, that will hold all the files the people in the company will work with. [thank goodness for ACL support in UFS2 :) ]. But, even though i found lots of docs regarding how to setup samba as a client dominated by a Windows PDC, i am a bit lost about how should i setup it so that it authenticates against a samba PDC. Could someone point me in the right direction please? And i am very courios what should i be carefull of, in terms of load balancing and stuff, since the file-server will be accessed simultaneously by 50+ users and they work with really huge files. Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you and keep up the good work. -zoli
