Re: 1 cpu + 2 monitors + 2 keybord/mouse is it possible

I just want to know if it is possible for me to just buy 1 more monitor, a mouse and a keyboard so that two students could learn in one pc. and oppen two different programes at the same time. I have not played with it yet but you might want to take a look at FreeBSD 6.1. From the 6.1-rc1 announcement (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2006-April/016104.html) a keyboard multiplexer being added. This is enabled by default via the 'kbdmux' driver and allows multiple keyboards of any type to be plugged in and work at once. Reading the man page for kbdmux it isn't clear to me if the keyboards will work independently in X but it might be worth a try. It looks like this topic has come up a lot. See this post and the link at the end of it http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-October/101408.html .

mac address in install.cfg
Hi, I am doing network installs of FreeBSD 6.0 and I want to place the install files in a directory that depends on the mac address of the server being installed. In install.cfg I want to specify something like nfs=10.0.0.1:/var/net_install/files/$MAC_ADDRESS mediaSetNFS package=db42-4.2.52_4 packageAdd Where the target server substitutes $MAC_ADDRESS at install time. Can anyone think of a way of doing this?

Re: System Intrustion Detection
Hi, I would suggest using ssh with RSA key pairs and passphrases only. Dont allow password based login or root login over ssh. Only allow root to login using the console and use sudo for all admin tasks. I have not tried this myself but you could use tcpwrappers and write a script to add the IP address from repeated failed messages to the hosts.deny file. There are various scripts already written to do this. A quick goggle search found this http://security.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/15/1655234 (its about linux but I am sure the same approach applies to FreeBSD.)
