Hello everyone! Could you tell me if FreeBSD supports memory page nulling when releasing it to prevent unauthorized access to data left in the page after it's allocated again. If it does, what sys calls etc provide that? IMHO this is an important issue when operating data with different sensivity levels. Thanks in advance. Nick

Hi everyone, today I got an e-mail from a company claiming that my server is doing port scans on their firewall machine. I found that hard to believe so I started checking the box. The company rep told me that the scan was originating at port 80 with destination port 8254 on their machine. I couldn't find any hints as to why that computer was subject to the alleged port scans.
