new netfix

The netfix program I posted a while back, I have made a LOT of changes to it, it's now much faster and more robust, it does 3 checks before it switches from one interface to the next.

the way it works is to ping 3 root name servers, if it can't reach any of them it switches to the second interface. this is being used on a few companies firewalls now so if one ISP goes down it can just move everyone to the other. The best part about it is that it's all written in shell script so it will run on ANY system that has a Bourne or Korn shell installed, and it makes it easy for anyone with Unix knowledge to make changes to. so with no further adue here is your script

netfix

this goes along with it, it's a script that sets up natd when you have LOTS of options... this is hard to do with rc.conf because of the way it's formated.

XFree86 4.2

this isn't in the ports collection and I doubt it will be, hell ssh in ports is still at version 2.3

it compiles and runs great on FreeBSD 4.5, I needed to get this version of X running due to the inclusion of a better implementation of xinerama. you will still want to add "XFREE86_VERSION=4" to your /etc/make.conf file so that xwrapper will install and you are still going to have to add the lines to /etc/X11/XF86Config but all of that info is in my help file at http://www.hugme.org/computer/freebsd/x11-install.txt

right now my desktop is set up with 3 FreeBSD terminals and 1 windows terminals all using the same keyboard and mouse... I hardly ever use the windows terminal it's pretty much there to just show that it is possible to have your keyboard and mouse work across the network and cross platform.
