I don't know anything about fail2ban so can't help you there. Is there
something wrong with denyhosts?

ok, after few days of silence I am back with more questions
this time system feels little better, it is able to sustain for more
time that what 7.3-RELEASE could
FreeBSD raptor 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Thu Apr 1
01:20:45 UTC 2010 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/INSPIRON amd64
I am using KDE4, and when OS freezes, well it freezes, means I cannot
change to tty0 and see the panic text, if any it might possibly have
spit. the stuck frozen GUI keeps staring there. So the question is how
to I capture that panic text ? unfortunately I am not getting core
files too, so there is nothing I can pick up hints
is there some option (KDB, DDB), so that on panic system drop to debugger ?

Nothing at all, I am just exploring other avenues. Fail2Ban can
potentially block more attacks than denyhosts can though.

Your default is /boot/kernel, and you need to keep /boot/GENERIC in
place for freebsd-update to work. freebsd-update works off of knowing what
your running kernel is, and will continue to work on the GENERIC kernel.
If you run your own update server. Then you can update as many kernels
as you would like to support.
This issue won't fix your problem, though, as if the GENERIC kernel doesn't
have the option you are looking for, as soon as you 'fetch install' that
option will be gone if it isn't in the distributed GENERIC kernel.
Try and figure out how to get it into a CUSTOM kernel and have that under
/boot/kernel, and your /boot/GENERIC kernel will continue to update with
freebsd-update, as well as world.
I hope this helps.

In what way? denyhosts can do more than simply ssh monitoring/blocking. It
has a plugin system for extensibility.

Yes it works with freebsd.
You need to specify it in jail.conf
under the the filter you choose; action=ipfw[localhost xxx.xxx.xxx]
configure the ipfw.conf in the action.d directory
a little googling and trial and error and you will get it.

I just received a handful of USB Ethernet NICs whose primary chip

the computer identifies it as having the Supereal SR9600 chip on

guys,
i'm finally trying to get my private scripts and binaries in

to have informational or usage{} type messages.
if a .pl script has to have at least one arg, is there an easy
way to do that? can i have a perl fn called usage() that would
be fed various strings?

Dare I say, "there's more than one way to do it?" :)
See the "Getopt::" family in the CPAN.
My favorite is Getopt::Long.

Hello, list!
Is anyone here using CyberShot DSC-S40 with FreeBSD?
It's pretty old camera. When i plug it in my BSD desktop, nothing happens - e.g., even no dmesg messages. Also, gphoto2 gui (gtkam) tells me 'no cameras detected' when i try to detect it.
As i understand, i need some specific kernel module (via google i've found that that's umass, which i have compiled-in in my kernel)
What could i do to detect what has happend?

For simple scripts I tend to use Getopt::Std instead, but Getopt::Long is
great too. These two are pretty much the "standard" for command line
option handling and help message generation in Perl.

Disregard that, it was pretty strange umass problem: i had forcibly unplugged my flash card (forgot to umount it), and after that no new usb devices have been detected. (could anyone reproduce it? I'm running pretty-recent 8-STABLE, update was about couple of weeks ago)
Now, dmesg tells me:
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Sony Sony DSC 6.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers

As i understand dmesg, there is a medium-not-present error - so, it complains on the lack of memstick inside my cam - but i've got it's internal 30MBs, can i somehow reach them?

Hi Gary,
Check out this Perl module that builds on Getopt::Long, but also
includes support for echoing usage messages for each option:
http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/Getopt-Long-Descriptive-0.085/lib/Getopt/Long/Descriptive.pm
Hope that helps,
Greg

Hi all:
I am trying to compile the smaba34 but somehow it failed MD5 Checksum and SHA256 Checksum:
--------------------------------------------------------
# make all

===> Found saved configuration for samba34-3.4.5_1

===> Run 'make config' to (re)configure the port

....
---------------------------------------------------------------------
actually "samba-3.4.5.tar.gz" does exist under /usr/ports/distfiles
how could I fix this problem? I am using 7.2-p7...

Hey List,
I just re-installed FreeBSD 8-stable on my laptop and everytime I
have network traffic, even something as innocuous as a ssh shell
with a large section of scrolling text, the interface keeps
flapping up and down. I've had FreeBSD 8 installed on here before
and I don't remember it doing that, but I could be mistaken.
However, I just noticed it again. I was running Gentoo and it had no
issue.
os install: freebsd8-stable i386 (from 4/2/2010)
kernel: generic with snd_hda, pf sections and atapicam added
/var/log/message shows:

..... ad nauseum
It's using a PCMCIA PC-card because I jacked the pins on my
built-in ethernet device.
pciconf -v:
cbb0@pci0:8:6:0: class=0x060700 card=0x30a5103c chip=0x8039104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02
vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)'
device = 'PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller'
class = bridge
subclass = PCI-CardBus
dmesg for the ethernet device:
ed0: <Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card (PCM100)> at port 0x100-0x11f irq 18 function 0 config 16 on pccard0
ed0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface

Is the "using obsoleted if_watchdog interface" something that should
really be worried about? Is this a driver issue with the card or the
cardbus controller? Any tweaks to sysctly or anything else specific
I could try? Any more info needed?
Thanks.

Looks like you have partially fetched distfile. Try to make distclean,
then restart again.

You should be using WITHOUT_ versions of the options - see src.conf(5). Files
won't be removed unless they're listed in ObsoleteFiles.inc, and it's
typically not been kept up-to-date. This is being fixed in -CURRENT but for
just now you can remove the binaries manually.

Hi,
--->> Please Cc: me when replying, I'm not subscribed. <<---
I plan to purchase a Zotac motherboard with a embedded ATOM processor.
It uses an NVidia chipset.
http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-ionitx-f-e-atom-n330-1-6ghz-dual-core-mini-itx-intel-motherboard.html
My intent is to build a small NAS with ZFS and NFS/CIFS. I'd like to
know if anyone successfully ran FreeBSD on this motherboard and what
performance could be achieved, especially if ZFS is used. I checked the
archives without luck.
Thanks!

thanks for your url as well and the others to posted. but it seems like
overkill since i dont need any explicit option or argument. i just need
the script to tell me whether i have an arg or not. following is
something i've kept in one of my junk drawers from when i was learning
to write bourne sscripts. it uses the "$[token]" syntax that determines
whether there are Any args on the cmdline. if not, the script prints a
message and exits.
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "No args; need filename."
else
echo "$1"
fi
After a couple hours experimentation, the following does the same for my
perl scripts:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$argc = @ARGV;
if (! $argc ) {
printf("No args; need filename.\n");
}
else {
printf("%s\n", @ARGV);
}

I had a look at the thread - thanks..,
The documentation for EasyBCD documentation itself states that its
compatible with windows vista - there's nowhere that actually states that it
supports windows 7.
Or, am I missing something?
I noted that the link by the responder in the thread also refers to a
document that is based on windows vista, but will review this as well.
Thanks!

S Roberts

BCD was the boot mechanism introduced with Vista and Server 2008, and
continued in Windows 7 (actually 6.1) and Server 2008r2.
