Every system I've seen with his description of the problem, where the power supply can't even run it's own fan, is having a power supply problem. Power supplies are very often low quality these days and can't handle the stresses of typical electrical grid fluctuations. Most people who deal with h

As a Sysadmin I have 2 cents to add to this discussion. I think the whole chest beating, king of the hill, stand taking, mantra repeating is juvenile. There is no superior OS. As I do my job I don't start out figuring how I can slide my favorite distro into the equation. The OS is not at the cen

The legato client in ports has been dropped for lack of maintenance and security issue of the default config. You can get a 6.0 compatible client by back dating ports. Current 7.x versions of the legato server will not work with this old FreeBSD client version, so it may be a dead end. We are imp

How to go about diagnosing cause of packet loss

2006-11-28 Thread D G Teed
Howdy, Lately we have been seeing increased packet loss on our gateway/firewall. Running a ping plotter outside of the firewall shows the hops are running clean. From on or behind the firewall, we have 20 to 50% packet loss to each hop, reaching several popular test destinations. e.g.: $ mtr

packet loss to firewall while Internet link is down

Hi all, When the Internet link goes down, ssh refuses to allow connection from within the LAN to our BSD firewall/gateway. An existing ssh connection might stay up, but be very sluggish. We run our own DNS, so that can't be the reason for timeouts. When the Internet is down, the CPU load facto

Hi, I cannot locate 4.11 installer CD ISOs. The mirror says they are moved to the archive FTP site, but they are not in that site, at least not as an ISO. Anyone have a hint/tip? I'm already aware of the online store selling them, but I was looking for something that would be in my hands yeste
