Write only directory.
Is it possible to let a user write to a directory but not access the file after they write it? The file is being transferred via scp and after the transfer I don't want them to be able to re-fetch or even get a directory listing.

Re: Looking for troubleshooting tips.
I shift deleted my inbox and lost all of the original replies :( anyway... I have another sensor that just started to exhibit this same behavior. This time though, I have some more info: swap_pager_getswapspace(4): failed swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed swap_pager_getswapspace(2): failed pid 75157 (flow-report), uid 1001, was killed: out of swap space What made me notice this time was the zabbix (http://www.zabbix.com/) agent on this host kept bumping online/offline. So it looks like we are loaded enough to affect other processes as well. Is this just a matter of adding more ram? Or do I increase the swap space? Or is there another issue here; I have never ran out of swap space before? Thanks. On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 9:58 AM, Paul Halliday wrote: > I use Freebsd as the base for my network monitoring sensors.

Looking for troubleshooting tips.
I use Freebsd as the base for my network monitoring sensors. These machines run a netflow probe, act as a netflow collector and spool full content data from a snort process FIFO that is bound to a span port. During peak hours this can be 100MB saturated, its connected to a GB intel NIC on the box (there is a separate uplink). In the background numerous little scripts run to produce summary data. The basic template for these systems has been the same for the past 4 years and things have worked great. Recently, one of these machines started to become a little laggy and I can't seem to identify the issue. This system has always seen a lot of packet loss, I expect this though as it is a busy site but this has never affected its performance. Can an overloaded NIC cause serious performance issues like those I am seeing? This is a recent top: last pid: 98870; load averages: 1.54, 1.41, 1.31 up 1+01:57:10 11:50:24 142 processes: 2 running, 139 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 30.9% user, 0.0% nice, 15.0% system, 1.7% interrupt, 52.4% idle Mem: 450M Active, 328M Inact, 168M Wired, 33M Cache, 110M Buf, 3700K Free Swap: 2048M Total, 5112K Used, 2043M Free 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 To be honest, I don't know which counters are important.

export PATH in script called via Cron.
I have a script that I call via Cron. It wont work unless I include a path: #!/usr/local/bin/bash PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin" export $PATH which is fine and works. Out of curiosity though, why is it that if I call it from the cl like ./test.sh I get this error: ./test.sh: line 3: export: `/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin': not a valid identifier The script still works but it does drop that error.

Problem: PPOE and a Static IP.
I am following the instructions on this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pppoe.html I had initially thought it was a problem with the modem so I had a technician come in to take a look; when hooked up to his windows laptop: 1) He had to assign the interface the static address 2) no uname/pass were required. What needs to change in my ppp.conf to accommodate a static address?

Dual boot.
I just installed 6.2 on a 90GB drive. During the installation I created the usual partitions and left 50GB untouched. I then rebooted ran partition magic to put a DOS FS on the remainder then ghosted XP pro onto it. What is the process now to dual boot this?

Printing.
Hi. After finally converting my wife from the dark side and installing FreeBSD on her laptop I have run into a few problems. Before I ran all print services on one of my free boxes and ran samba so that she could print to it. Which works out quite well because you use the original windows drivers so maintanence/quality are a snap. Now that the box is running free I had to play around with apsfilter to try and achieve the same performance. Apsfilter is a great package but just isnt producing as I had hoped ie. slow, quality isnt 100% etc. So much to my chagrin I installed a win2000 box and hooked the printer up to that. I am just now trying to figure out how to do the reverse of b4, printing from all my nix boxes to this 2000 box using the windows drivers. I still have samba running but I am unsure how to approach this. I would love to hear anyone elses experiences with this sort of situation, even other solutions. Thanks.

As much as I love NetBSD (shudder), I would really prefer to have Free running on this machine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
