By setting options in the ``/etc/rc.conf'' file. The full list of available options is listed with a fair bit of comments in ``/etc/defaults/rc.conf'' and is documented extensively in the rc.conf(5) manpage. > * When I do a "ps -fe | grep some-process" I don't get any answer, so > I can't realise if a process is running, I've got to do a top to get > to it The -ef options are not doing what you think. They work on Linux, Solaris and other UNIXes that follow the System-V 'style', but not in BSD. Try -aux instead: # ps -aux | grep some-process or even better, if you're just looking for a short list of PIDs and names, use pgrep(1): # pgrep -l some-process > * My sound card is a Sound Blaster Live!, I've tried to load it by > means of kldload emu10k1, it worked but I can't get it to > work.

We'd have to know a bit more about your network connection to the world, and your existing DNS setup to answer if this is normal. > Oct 18 12:23:01 nostromo ppp[217]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Reducing = configured MRU from 1500 to 1492 > Oct 18 12:25:06 nostromo ppp[217]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Reducing = configured MRU from 1500 to 1492 > Oct 18 12:27:11 nostromo ppp[217]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Reducing = configured MRU from 1500 to 1492 That's mostly harmless.
