Hi all, I have a couple of questions for you=85

Firstly, I keep getting this=85 its been doing it for the past 3 weeks =
or
so, and the machine hasn=92t been rebooted in almost 6 weeks, so it
literally started out of the blue:

	Feb 16 01:28:48 FIREWALL inetd[61157]: ftp/tcp: bind: Address
already in use

Next, I'm going to be switching to adsl soon, and unfortunately, along
with it comes this dreaded PPPoE garbage (sorry, I'll never like it..
I'm one to like the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - and
dhcp isn't broken imho) What's out there (other than roaring penguin)
that you would suggest to me, and what do you think about the following,
which I've found on the net:

	http://bsdpeople.myip.org/index-pppoe.html

I'm still rather new to FreeBSD, and though I'll easily be able to get
most of that going on my system without much of a problem, I don't
really know exactly what it is I'm doing, especially with that perl
script.  All I know is that it updates the IP in my rulesets... nothing
more.  My question basically, is if that's a good implementation, and if
others have a better one to offer.  I'll have 2 static IP's, so that
perl script won't even apply to my situation.  I already am running one
of my boxes as a gateway, and I have become very familiar with IPNAT and
IPFilter.  I love reading... good way to expand my knowledge, so if
anyone has any good material on the net concerning IPNAT, IPFilter, and
especially PPPoE, do not hesitate to share, I'm sure there's a little
something to learn from each of them.


Thanks in advance
