Hi. I''m thinking getting a virtual server account at Escapebox. It looks like its exactly what I need, but it runs FreeBSD, I would have to install Rails myself, and I''m more of a Linux man (comfortable on the command line). If someone who has set up a production Rails environment at Escapebox could offer me some reassurance that the process is reas...

To much of my dissapointment, the uptime on my TxD account does not improve. What alternatives do we have for hosting Rails projects on shared accounts? I would love to keep lighttpd and the level of control I have on TxD but wouldn''t like to spend much more (I am currently on the 25$/month plan). I won''t need much support, but I would love to have subversion

Hello List, I know FreeBSD 4.x is old..., but we are using on a production system with postgres and apache. The above message is appearing periodically. I googled for the message but found no recommendation for adjusting it. Any suggestions.

I'm setting up a server where I plan to use Jails to improve security I also have installed and am configuring ipfilter. Here are my questions: Because I'm using Jails, I will have to have multiple ip aliases on the network interface. I will use ipfilter to specify what can go to each of the addresses. (e.g., allow only incoming to port 80 on the jail running apache). Another

I'm thinking of using jails to improve security on a server I am setting up. Specifically, I would like to put Apache/PHP in a jail, but I might like to set up 2-3 different jails for different purposes. I've found several examples showing how to set the jails up. My questions involve system requirements. Assuming plenty of disk space, 1GB ram and a dual processor PIII 1.13Ghz

Hello security gurus, yesterday, I mistakenly posted a question on the questions list about this article : http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13676/info/ which talks about a form of DOS vulnerability. I was curious as to the possibility of FreeBSD 5.x being affected, and if anyone was working on this or not. Ted Mittelstaedt posted this possible patch based upon the OpenBSD patch : in

I was wondering if there's any non-executable stack patch for FreeBSD's kernel. I searched in google but all I got was some questions in freebsd-security back from 2001 and an answer saying someone heard about a project like this, but no information at all. Is there any patch like PaX or Openwall available for FreeBSD? I dont want to discuss if its useless or not since there're a

hi is there any way to build 4.8 release with this fstack protection? or atleast some ports is there any good info on this? the only page i found was that ibm page but it seemed outdated. //martin

I get the above panic after nfs clients attach to this nfs server and being read/write ops on it after an unclean shutdown. I've fsck'ed the fs, and it marks it as clean, but I get this every time.

Gang, For months now, we're all seeing repeated bruteforce attempts on SSH. I've configured my pf install to ratelimit TCP connections to port 22 and to automatically add IP-addresses that connect too fast to a table that's filtered: table <lamers> { } block quick from <lamers> to any pass in quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port 22 modulate
