FBSD is not a "service", it is an operating system. You can use it in place 
of Windows, Mac, and other OS's. It is free.http://www.freebsd.org/

I am interested in finding out how to login and out of freeBSD.
Please forward some details because I am a new user to the service.

random reboots

2002-10-21 Thread RichardH
We are experiencing random reboots on 4.7. Have seen other postings in here 
regarding this issue so it does not appear to be hardware related but have 
not seen a definitive answer to what is going on. No core dumps, etc. 
Please respond if you are having same problem. We are doing 4.7 on a "test" 
server running AMD 400 CPU and would like to goto 4.7 on production servers 
but with random reboots this is not feasible. As I said this has come up on 
"questions" before but still has not been fully addressed. Running newest 
Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, just can't up to 4.7 yet (was rebooting before 
any of the previous were upped,Apache, etc.) 4.6 was totally stable . 
Rebooting probs started after upping to 4.7 FBSD and are totally random. 
Thanks for any input.

Richard H

i have followed the instructions on the HB and they didnt work, thats why 
i came up with the
insecure method... startx gives similar errors to the ones mentioned in 
the original msg.
any ideas why?

Here are snips from postings made after I posted a similar question, we 
wound up writing ours custom to run AWStats for all users and to update 
them regularly but this is what got it started, one is from Rob Ellis, not 
sure who posted the other but it is probably all in the archives:

Here are some snips from a small script that I put together to parse the
apache log (/var/log/httpd-access.log) to find suspect log entries
containing lame attempts to exploit IIS vulnerabilities. If found, it
will try to send an email to "abuse" at whatever domain the user was at.
It doesn't write anything to an output file, but it does selectively
choose entries from the current date only. You could possibly modify
this to append each days activities to each users log file. Again, the
below doesn't necessarily speak to your particular problem, but maybe
some tidbits of this could be a start, along with the post from Rob
Ellis.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Mail::Sendmail;
my ($line, $host, $rcpt, $dstamp, $body); # some scalars
my @date; # an array
my (%mail, %offenders); # some hashes
@date = split(" ", `date`); # get current date into
an array$dstamp = "$date[2]/$date[1]/$date[5]"; # rearrange to
match date in apache log file

open (FILE, "/var/log/httpd-access.log"); # open log file for
reading
while ($line = ) {
# find log entries from today that also contain mischevious keywords
if ( (grep(/.*\[$dstamp:/, $line)) &&
(grep(/scripts|winnt|cmd\.exe|root\.exe|system32/, $line)) ) {
$line =~ /^(\S+).*\[(.+)\].*GET\s(\S+)/; # parse interesting line
$1=host $2=date/time $3=GET command push @{$offenders{$1}},"$2
$3\n"; # put values into a hash for later processing }
}
foreach $host (keys(%offenders)) {
if ($host !~ /\.\d+$/) { # only act if $host is an actual host
name to which we can construct an email $host =~ /^\S+\.(.*)$/; #
get domain portion of $host $rcpt = $1; # assign
$rcpt to value of previous regex $body = ( # create
the email body "Email Body"
);
%mail = ( # create some email headers
'Date' => Mail::Sendmail::time_to_date(),
'To' => "abuse\@$rcpt",
'From' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'Subject' => 'Notification of malicious user or system',
'Body' => "$body"
);
sendmail(%mail); # send the mail
}
}
close (FILE); # close the file log file

Re: When is FreeBSD going to work properly with KVM switches?

2002-07-16 Thread RichardH

It will all work properly if you quit using belkin KVM's, they are too 
expensive. Try this :
http://www.dlink.com/products/Business/kvm/
we run dlink 4 port KVM with no probs at all, buy belkin and you apparently 
pay for the name. We use for web, mail and 2 DNS servers, no switch probs 
or anything. Got it at www.pricewatch.com for 68$, cables were 12$ ea/ for 
4 sets so total was 120 or so. Apparently belkin sucks. We use 1 kbd, 1 mse 
and 1 mon. so "name" is not all, go dlink and you'll be happy, least 4 port.
