Re: Automatic Firewall software?

Doesn't Portsentry ignore ports that have a service bound to them like
the SSH daemon? In that case, it wouldn't help Brian's problem, since
ssh is running, portsentry would ignore any attacks to port 22, right?

ARP / Cisco Router Wierdness

2004-06-25 Thread Peter Pauly
This morning while attempting to replace a server with a new machine
(same IP address, the old machine was unplugged), The Cisco 2600
router's arp table continued to point to the old DNS server's MAC
address.

Even after rebooting the new server (Freebsd 5.2.1), the MAC address
remained unchanged in the router. The router continued to point to the
old machine's MAC address.

I updated the entry manually in the router and all was well. But I am
concerned that Freebsd is not announcing it's MAC address when the
machine or interface comes up. Any ideas?

 Hi list,
 
 One thing, that is making me _not_ using FreeBSD is, that I see no way
 to easily upgrade from, say 5.1 to 5.2 (just an example), over network.

This may or may not be an option for you:  both IBM and HP (Compaq) offer
remote supervisor cards that offer network access to the machine, even
when it is booting, etc. You can use it to access the BIOS, watch the
machine boot, get into single user mode, etc, all from your chair
in another city.

 Are these supervisor cards unique to IBM  HP?
 Can the card be bought separately and will they work on generic
 motherboard?
 Do you have URL for info on these  supervisor cards?

They are unique to each manufacturer. I am not aware of a generic one. We currently 
use IBM's. Just google for IBM remote supervisor II. The IBM can even be accessed 
via a web browser (with password security obviously). I'm not
up-to-date on the Compaq's.
