Hi, we're trying to come up with a way to configure our laptops so that we can easily switch between connected (i.e. we have a net) and disconnected (we have no net) states. This does not need to be automatic (would be nice though), having users type "net on|off" in a shell is perfectly fine. Looking at /etc, it seems that what we'd like requires non-trivial changes to the configuration; the laptops we'd like this for run a number of services that would need to be started/stopped: NIS, NFS (clients), inetd, sendmail, sshd, lpd, amd, named, etc. Some of these should be okay to leave running when disconnecting (e.g. inetd, sshd). Others (NIS, NFS, amd) must be stopped/restarted. Has anyone ever done this? How? Any pointers? This is for 4.0-RELEASE, btw. Thanks, Lars PS: I'm not currently subscribed, please cc me explicitly. ________________________________________________________________________ Lars Eggert <larse@isi.edu> Information Sciences Institute http://www.isi.edu/~larse/ University of Southern California To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
