Error Upgrading FreeBSD 7.2 to 8.0 Stable

Usually when I build source on a fast multiprocessor machine I use the -j switch to make the compiling process faster by increasing the number of jobs. Usually something like, make -j 4. Here’s an excerpt from the man page:

-j max_jobs
Specify the maximum number of jobs that make may have running at
any one time. Turns compatibility mode off, unless the -B flag
is also specified.

However, I noticed when doing my usual build from source for an upgrade my make -j 4 buildworld would fail with various compile errors. So I tried building without the -j switch and it worked. So while it takes a bit longer to compile the new world and new kernels, I’m not getting any more errors when upgrading FreeBSD 7.2 to FreeBSD 8.0.

How to accept the untrusted ssl cert for webmail access

If you are logging into your webmail account using the mail.yourdomain.com address your browser will complain that the SSL certificate is untrusted. This is well and good, and normally you should heed the warning, however in this instance we are going to accept the certificate. We create CNAME records to alias mail.yourdomain.com to our webmail server which offers an SSL certificate to encrypt your traffic and protect your privacy while reading your email. Without going into a great deal of detail about why our self signed certificate for our shared email server makes your browser complain, we’re simply going to give you a quick tutorial on what to do to get to your email.

First point your browser to mail.yourdomain.com
