Background fsck problems
We had some trouble with our [FreeBSD][] systems over the holiday shutdown a few weeks ago. Our backup generator didn’t kick in during an extended power outage, and our UPS’s didn’t provide enough runtime to see us through. Result: all … Continue reading
Unattended port installation and FreeBSD setup
We are currently building about a dozen [FreeBSD][] servers at work. The build process is pretty well documented, but it’s a bit labor intensive. So I had one of my student assistants look into automating the process somewhat. This post … Continue reading

Kyocera EP510DN printer
We got a new [Kyocera][] printer at work a few days ago. The model we’re trying out is an “[EP510DN][]”. We had a heck of a time finding information for this printer on the Kyocera web site. In desperation, we … Continue reading
