To change the keymap of your keyboard you can use :

kbdcontrol -l be.iso.kbd

For a list of all keymap, look inside directory /usr/share/syscons/keymaps, here are some:

  • be.iso.kb
  • fr.iso.kbd
  • uk.iso.kbd
  • us.iso.kbd

The struggle against SPAM is a political problem more than a technical one

I thing SPAM is more a political problem than a technical one !
A lot of smart technical solutions exist for a long time now but SPAM remains a problem.
Main mail service providers like Google and Hotmail could choose and impose new rules in mail exchange to the community, by rejecting mails from servers not following them. Then I thing SPAM would be reduced to the minimum.

My solution below is deliberately superficial because a real solution would require long debate of mail gurus to avoid any weakness. I'm only one and maybe not a guru :-)

Run rsync in server mode on VMware ESXi 4.0

aspineux's picture
Submitted by aspineux on Mon, 03/14/2011 - 12:08

This procedure has been tested on ESXi 4.0 only

First I was unable to upload files through rsync running in server mode !!! Only downloads are working ! rsync can also be started using a remote shell like ssh using -e option. Used this way, rsync can be used to download and upload. Anyway the use of the ssh layer and its encryption increase CPU load.

In this article I explain how to configure a pfSense firewall version 1.2.3 when the default gateway is on a different subnet as the block of IP you get from your ISP or hosting provider. pfSense i s a free firewall solution.
Here is another solution for a pfSense 2.0.
