Re: How to Stop Bruit Force ssh Attempts?

If you are using PF, you can use source tracking to drop the offenders in to a table... perhaps after a certain number of attempts in a given time (say, 5 in a minute). Once you have the table you're in business... you can block based on it... and then set up a cron job to copy the table to disk every so often (perhaps once every two minutes). It works very well for me, YMMV. If you don't want to block permanently, you could use cron to flush the table every so often too... I don't bother though. -Jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,
I'm having trouble with 'portsdb -uU'
It worked exactly twice on my machine. I was using the following

# portsdb -uU
# pkgdb -F
# portupupgrade -a
worked fine first two times. Now.. my cvsup works fine. but when I
'portsdb -uU', it runs for a while and then I get something like:

Here is my guess, and I emphasize that it is a guess:

is a page I found by using Google to search for:
Shared object has no run-time symbol table
Now mind you I may have broken my ports tree at some point.
This appears to be the case:
I'm
relatively new to FreeBSD... and before I began using portupgrade... I
was manually upgrading a handful of ports (make install.. deinstall...
reinstall type stuff... downloading port folder manually)..
I suggest reinstalling the ports you deinstalled, if you haven't
already done so...
and I think
a placed a few in 'new' directories in my ports tree. So I do not know
if that would 'break' my ports tree or not. But thought it was worth
mentioning.
I can't quite parse this because it appears to me that you've left out
a word or two.
Other things worth mentioning:
- I have a very slight customized kernel config file. Added support for
ath, removed some processor support (486/586), added splash screen.
I don't think this is relevant.
- I have NEVER cvsupped my kernel src... only the ports tree.
And here it is: go and update your source, including the ports tree,
after you have reinstalled the ports you deinstalled. Make sure that
the world is correctly installed; then go and try the portupgrade
bits, one port at a time.
I have done nothing such as buildworld.
Go and do buildworld, then portupgrade.
Have I broken something? Am I going about upgrading ports the wrong
way?
Yes, it appears that you have broken something.
If I have broken my ports tree is it possible to recreate it
correctly? Maybe delete it and reinstall off CD then cvsup it?
No, you don't need to do a complete reinstall, IMO; you do need to
update your source, perhaps even desperately.

From what I've heard, portsdb -Uu is not preferred in 5.3, rather one
should do make fetchindex in /usr/ports then run portsdb -u afterwards.
I've only HEARD that this is correct, but it worked for me. so make
of it what you will
