syslog from chrooted environment
I have a somewhat busy sftp server where the users are all chrooted into their home directory. In order to log all the commands they enter, I have to create a /dev/log entry and hard link in their home directory so that syslog works for their commands Match user * ForceCommand internal-sftp -f local1 -l verbose Everything works, but its a bit of a pain if someone restarts syslogd and forgets

tweaking max sessions / scaling
Other than cranking up logging to debug2, is there a way to better tune logging on a server to see if I am running into max sessions ? On FreeBSD RELENG11 I am periodically seeing connections being refused- 3way handshake not completing or completing and then FINs. Typically, I have a hundred or so connections at one time, but they can bounce up to a few hundred on occasion. Without leaving the

audit events confusion
On a rather full customer web server, I am trying to track down whose web site script is trying to make outbound network connections when they should not be. In /etc/security/audit_control, I added to the flags line dir:/var/audit flags:lo,aa,-nt minfree:5 to log failed network connection. When I try an make an outbound connection to something that is blocked in pf, it seems to sometimes work.

perms of /dev/uhid0
I wrote a small app that monitors a Back-UPS ES500 UPS via the uhid0 interface. I want to run the daemon with as little privs as possible. gastest# ls -l /dev/uhid0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 122, 0 Nov 12 05:26 /dev/uhid0 gastest# Is it safe to chmod o+r /dev/uhid0 ? Or is there a better way to drop privs of the daemon yet still be able to read from the device ? All I am doing is

repeatable crash on RELENG7
While trying to speed up nanobsd builds, I mounted /usr/obj on a ramdisk and found my box crashing. Thinking it might be hardware, I tried a separate machine, but with the same results. I have 4G of ram (i386). Am I just running out of some kernel memory ? If so, is there anything I can adjust to prevent this, yet still use mfs in this way ? mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 1800M newfs /dev/md0

tws bug ? (LSI SAS 9750)
Hi, I have been trying out a nice new tws controller and decided to enable debugging in the kernel and run some stress tests. With a regular GENERIC kernel, it boots up fine. But with debugging, it panics on boot. Anyone know whats up ? Is this something that should be sent directly to LSI ? pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0

rate limiting sshd connections ?
Does anyone know of a way to rate limit ssh connections from an IP address ? We are starting to see more and more brute force attempts to guess simple passwords "/usr/sbin/inetd -wWl -C 10" is nice for slowing down attempts to services launched via inetd. Is there an equiv method for doing this to sshd? Running from inetd has some issues supposedly. ---Mike

AMD64 vs i386, ifstat and bsnmp
Couple of little things I noticed with a new RELENG_7 AMD64 box (as of yesterday) ifstat from the ports cannot seem to find interfaces for some reason ?
