It may take three or more such full cycles until you see no improvement.
While you're at it, you could actually time how long it runs till fully
discharged; this also may improve somewhat, but what we're correcting
here it the battery
andbook IPFW section; meanwhile ipfw(8) is definitive.
You can also start out using one of the builtin types, then save it to a
file with 'ipfw list >file', then modify things it there, add comments
etc, then specify that file as firewall_type henceforth. Or, as Chuck

you can at least use ipfw 'limit' rules to allow only say one or two ssh
connections from one IP, which should help the open connections issue.
You could also impose connection limits running sshd from inetd(8):

The debian system I look after doesn't have any .bash_login files; apart
from the system-wide files in /etc (best untouched) most of the business
is done in ~/.bashrc, invoked for interactive shells by ~/.bash_profile,
but I'm unsure whether the login shell (that doesn't use ~/.bashrc) then
invokes an interactive shell (that does) or what .. man bash is awful :)

Quite a job, intervening and rewriting packets, and maintaining state on

limit to downloads (at around 85% of 512kbps) while keeping the outbound

Please take care. Personally, I always use sysinstall(8) or sade(8

may have been other data, but with a new label you might be able to
recover it with 'fsck da0s1d' if the filesystem is more or less intact.

there's anything related to C states or similar, you should try it; they

de it into ipfw(8) .. your choice,
or you can use firewall_type="open" for rc.firewall without that, until
you've got your ruleset in action (when default to deny is advisable)

ust compare (eg) permissions and names, something like:
ls -la dir1 | awk '{print $1,$9}' >/tmp/lsd1
ls -la dir2 | awk '{print $1,$9}' >/tmp/lsd2
diff /tmp/lsd1 /tmp/lsd2

ctl instead.
A bit over a year ago mav@ redesigned powerd's algorithm for measuring
'summary' load for multiple CPUs, as explained with revision 1.21.2.2 at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/powerd/powerd.c which
code may prove worthwhile exploring, or stealing.
Are they assuming a 'secondary' MX will be more likely to accept spam?

t Debian Apache2 configs do not default FollowSymLinks here, and
where /home is a symlink to /usr/home that may be problematic; eg:
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
deny from all

Not wishing to sound unkind, but you might explore a bit more deeply
what fdisk and boot0cfg already offer. We hear something about ongoing
work on sysinstall and its potential replacement, and conversion to the
GEOM framework is underway, but you'd need to hunt out the right lists
and be running -CURRENT to be participating in the process, I expect.
cc'ing Randi Harper, who's been working on sysinstall lately (and to
whom I still owe some mail about related matters)

Yes, running make release might be just a tad over the top for this :)

nutes.
A little extra (async) swap in/out activity for sure, but contrary to
expectations it's noticeably more responsive to things like switching
desktops/windows on a slow machine already under swap stress, and even
somehow(?) has increased idle CPU in top by about 3% to over 90%!
