    Issues with Samba+Kerberos (Heimdal 1.5) / FreeBSD / 2k8r2 domain

    I've recently had to deal with this since we began upgrading our AD Domain Controllers (from 2003 to 2012R2) This error is because the acceptable default Kerberos encryption types have been updated in 2008R2 and 2012R2, this not only effects a system like FreeBSD, but also Windows XP (which...

    Sniper Elite...not too bad

    I thought this game was incredibly boring, and the AI is really REALLY stupid. The levels SEEMED like they would be really cool but there never seemed to be that nice sniping vantage point. I only played the single player mode, which was really just a multiplayer map with scripted sequences...

    Whos gonna play "Call of Cthulhu"

    I have been waiting for this game since E3 2000, and I will continue to wait until it comes out for PC. It has inspired me to read up on the Cthulhu mytho's and seek out HP-esque movies. I have no idea what I'll do when it actually comes out, filling that void will be difficult.

    my new 1080p dlp tv

    This is actually how dlp works, the DMD chip is not an exact 1:1 ratio of mirrors to resolution, it has half the width and it uses a 'wobulation' method to produce a 1080 width.

    my new 1080p dlp tv

    I encourage your to follow this thread, a LOT of good information in there about your TV: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=581433 Whatever looks best to YOU is what you should use :) I typically like 720p for fast motion media, 1080i for something that will tend to have...

    my new 1080p dlp tv

    Umm, you know, based off the info given in the original post, I wasn't saying HIS tv couldn't, I said MOST first gen 1080p tv's can't accept a 1080p signal, via component, vga, or hdmi. Either way, besides a PC, there's isn't anything out there that can produce a real 1080p picture, its just...

    my new 1080p dlp tv

    So far there is nothing out there that can produce a 1080p signal besides a PC (but your tv may not accept a 1080p signal from any inputs). A lot of the first gen 1080p tv's will only accept a 1080i signal, then convert that to a 1080p signal internally. So, use the 1080i display from your...

    Widescreen resolution problems

    In general, powerstrip will not do custom resulotions while using an integrated video chipset. The intel GMA 900 may be a special case, but its best to stick with a nVdia or ATI card. This link may be of help, I used it and after a few minutes of tweaking I was able to get a good working...

    FreeBSD 5 you have failed me

    I run FreeBSD 5.2 on 2 production machines, 2 development machines and 1 as a desktop. I use apache 2, php, bind, openssl, openssh, and mysql quit a bit, never had a problem. I even have a sun ultra5 running 5.1 and its been stable without any glitches. The issues you are having would...

    FreeBSD oh noes (first install)

    You will probably have to run $ xf86cfg its a decent gui setup that does a lot of things automatically Make sure you add the modelines for a decent resolution and display depth or it will run in 640x480 mode (well, that is its usual behavior) This of course has nothing to do with...

    Thoughts on the IC7 MAXIII?

    I had a related issue with my IC7 board, transfering large files over SMB would hardlock the system, and when I tried gigabit speeds I could not get above 10MB/sec From my ABIT experiences I don't think I would get one again. There are also a lot of unhappy IC7 customers, check out the ABIT...

    UNIX: how do I completely wipe out a hard disk?

    I installed solaris 9 on a ss10 not too long ago and there really was not a need to mess around with fdisk. You should be able to answer all the yes/no or 1-N option's it's requres and it will go into the GUI install The install CD will re-partition the disk unless you specify any mount...
