Hi, Is there a security problem with ssh that I've missed??? Ik keep getting these hords of: Failed password for root from 69.242.5.195 port 39239 ssh2 with all kinds of different source addresses. They have a shot or 15 and then they are of again, but a little later on they're back and keep clogging my logs. Is there a "easy" way of getting these ip-numbers added to

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the

Hi, Did anyone else experience this? With 9.1-BETA1 the boot process freezes, among the last lines with verbose boot are acpi_acad0: On Line acpi_acad0: acline initialization done, tried 1 times after this, dead. What is supposed to happen in the next stage? This laptop worked fine with 9-STABLE to at least february. //per

We have been noticing flurries of sshd reject messages in which some system out there in the hinterlands hits us with a flood of ssh login attempts. An example: Apr 6 05:41:51 dc sshd[88763]: Did not receive identification string from 67.19.58.170 Apr 6 05:49:42 dc sshd[12389]: input_userauth_request: illegal user anonymous Apr 6 05:49:42 dc sshd[12389]: Failed password for illegal user

Hi all, ?Is there any app like denyhosts[1] but intended for MySQLd service? We have a mysql ports (3306) opened for remote connections, and obviously the /var/db/mysql/machine_name.log is full of these kind of entries: ........... 936012 Connect Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using password: YES) 936013 Connect Access denied for user

Hi, FreeBSD-9 works fine on this Lenovo T400 - except that suspending with no USB devices plugged in result in no ports working after resume. If I have a device plugged in during suspend - on any port - then all the ports work fine after resume. I've attached usbconfig and acpidump output. here's what is logged in the kernel buffer during suspend and resume: Her'es the suspend:

Hi, The fact that apparently the last tigervnc update from upstream was missed triggered me to check for missing updates and packages in 6.3. Here are my results. Sorry for any false positives that might have crept in, but note that some of the 6_x updates actually are updates and not a parsing error. And perhaps an occasional false positive due to having to compare upstream SRPMS vs downstream

My system was built yesterday. I just figured I'm not using the entire frequency range available in Europe. This is a potential problem when AP frequencies are not under my control.

Hello, I'm wondering if there's any easy way to enable a regular user to log into swat and have swat grant them root privelages, so they can use it to configure samba without having root access... Please shoot me an email at choranburg@iss.net if you have any ideas, Thanks, Chadd ********************************************************* Chadd M. Horanburg Internet Security Systems

I just bought a new (refurbished) Everexe StepNote laptop with a VIA C7-M CPU and a VIA chipset, installed CentOS 5.4 on it and the audio is not working. I looked around for a sound driver for the VIA vt1708/a, which is what it claims to have (see below), but that didn't work either. Any pointers as to what I'm missing? !lpspci 04:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A

Hello, I've recently put Samba into production, and while I do love it, I am having a problem I can not figure out. It comes when a regular user tries to change their password. I have dug through the FAQ's I could find, and also looked through a few trouble shooting sections. Everything they suggest checks out. The server as a whole works great. If I log in as root and change a users

Hi, I'm toying with the SMP/i386 ACPI suspend/resume patches in -9. Thanks so much for this! I've noticed though that the video backlight stays off after resume. A common problem on -9, so I set hw.acpi.reset_video=1. That restores the backlight. However, the video mode isn't restored. I have my console set to VGA_80x60 and the resume seems to set it up "wrong". I get half

I would like to request that some useful work on networking be MFCed from -CURRENT to -STABLE in time for the release of FreeBSD 6.3. In particular, I'd like to see some of the Netgraph nodes which are new or which have seen extensive development brought in -- ng_nat and ng_car in particular. Bringing in the latest version of ng_nat would allow more flexible in-kernel NAT, while ng_car (which

Did anybody have success in setting up xen 3.0.2-2 with a newer kernel than 2.6.16? I ran into the same LVM problems as mentioned before on this list (not being able to lvremove a snapshot). Now I''m trying to get the 2.6.18 running from the fedora repository ( http://hg.et.redhat.com/kernel/linux-2.6-xen-fedora ) but I didn''t have any success so far. The xen hypervisor binary

Hi, I made a wifi script based on the wlanconfig in bsdinstaller. here is the code: https://github.com/gihnius/freebsd-wifi I think we can make it more suitable for many devices and normal use. Any idea to write a normal feature script to use freebsd wifi easily ? and thanks to the author of wlanconfig.
