Get a HostAP capable miniPCI card and stick it in a netbook. I did that to
an Acer I picked up cheap and added external antenna (not sure how much
that mattered), works great all for under 300USD. I'm running OpenBSD on
mine but should do any of the firewall/routers specific variants just
fine.

Just food for thought: You could also use a cheap netbook for about the
same money as a new Soekris box. Unless you have minimalistic power
requirements and really need the Seokris' 12-15W vs a netbooks 40-50W
draw.

Advantages, at least compared to my Soekris net4801, are integrated
screen,keyboard and UPS and much better network throughput via ural(4) or
similar versus the built in sis(4) of the net4801. If power is a major
concern you can shut down the LCD assuming you can get APCI working
correctly.

I've been doing tests with 9.[01]/vimage jails and it works fine unless I
throw PF into the mix. After that I get a panic about one minute after the
first network activity. I need to try it with IPFW, just never used it
before so I need to read up to convert over what I'm trying to do.

I am contemplating moving to the FBSD 9 family.  Is this branch ready

releases of anything and I know 9.1 is soon going to be with us.

In a related note, if I do move to 9.x is it sufficient to grab the

reboot?  That is, it is reasonable to do an in-place upgrade.  This
is how I migrated 4->6, 6->7, and 7->8 and I am hoping this is till
the case since a complete reinstall is painful and slow.



I upgraded to 9 on a server that is basically doing what yours is. I used 
freebsd-update and it did all the right things no problems. Been running on 
9 without any issues pretty much since it came out. However, the only thing 
remotely fancy I'm doing is running root ZFS and link aggregation on my

If you're going to run "advanced" filesystems you really should try to

If you have managed to loose data while running zfs you'd better have a

Re: Breakin attempt

[Eric S Pulley]

Actually this looks like fairly normal white noise you can expect on a 
public facing ssh server. There are a lot of bots out there, looking for 
another box to own. If you're running PF put in something like the 
following.


block in quick log from {}
.
.
.
pass in log on $ext_if proto tcp to ($ext_if)  port { ssh } \
   flags S/SA modulate state \
   (max-src-conn-rate 3/60, overload  flush global)

And remember that that you need to wait a minute if you (for some reason) 
make more than x (3 in this case) connections from the same source in a 
minutes time.  Tune as needed.


The disable root logins and only use keys if you can, strong PWs if you 
can't and you should be good.

If your purpose is to deny a person the ability to add themselves manually
to your local net and then get to other networks this is a perfect example
of the use for authpf. Combine authpf with port security on your local
switch (if you have that functionality).

But they can still spoof their MAC so it doesn't protect the local wifi
subnet much. Only thing I know works 100% is to set up a wifi net that is
unrouted with nothing in it but a VPN concentrator, once someone connects
to the wifi net then they establish an encrypted VPN connection that will
route the VPN traffic in/out of the wifi net.

Might be an interesting project for someone to add a PKI auth layer to the
DHCP protocol if someone hasn't already . I can think of several uses for
it.

Of course Cisco has something that might work for you:

I'd rather figure something else out than pay them for their crap though.

Re: MySQL update from 4.1 to 4.7

[Eric S]

From: Phillip Hocking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: MySQL update from 4.1 to 4.7 
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now it will not allow me to login to the database with any of the 
usernames that I remember here is the error in the log 2:58:29 [Warning] 
Found 4.1 style password for user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Ignoring user. You 
should change password for this user. How do I flush the tables to 
resolve this issue and change all the passwords around? Any help would 
be much appreciated.
 

I don't know the answer, but I know where to find it, since I 
encountered that same problem. When mysql starts up, it logs a message 
in the log file for that server to the effect that the password table 
needs to be updated, and includes the command to do just this.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 80, Issue 35

ok just rebuilt 1.01p4, and i still can't use my arrow keys in forum editor 
boxes. back to the real mozilla. gg firefox

and don't complain about my top-posting cause IT'S TEH ROX
 

Two things.  First, to fix the problem with the arrow keys, make a 
backup of your bookmarks file (and cookie file if you want), nuke the 
default firefox directory under .mozilla, and run firefox again.  
Deleting just the preferences may also work.  After doing this, if you 
deleted the entire directory, you'll need to restore the files that you 
backed up.

Second, when dealing with a forum where you're getting help dealing with 
problems, it's generally best not to lead in with attitude.  It would 
have been easier for me to simply delete the message and keep going, but 
I took the time to post the solution because there might be someone else 
having this problem who is worth answering.  This has nothing to do with 
whether or not you top posted, but rather the attitude displayed.
