Bandwidth Usage Report?

2004-07-06 Thread Joseph Koenig
Is there a way to use netstat or something similar to see what our bandwidth usage peaks at throughout the day? We are considering moving to a different host that has less bandwidth, but I'm not sure where we peak, so it's difficult to say whether or not they have enough bandwidth for us. Thanks,

I know this is an issue that comes up a lot, but I wanted to get an opinion from some people on the list. We, along with everyone else, have TONS of SPAM hit our server. Unfortunately, we haven't found any good way to reduce it. We're using ORDB and SpamCop, but neither are really doing the job. We

Upgrade gone bad, please help

I have a system that was running FreeBSD 4.3. At the time I built the system, I compiled a custom kernel, but at this time, I do not need the modifications I made to the kernel. Turns out I never really did need them. So, I went to upgrade the machine to 4.9 using sysinstall. All went well, except

Hi, I have a server running FreeBSD 4.3 that I need to upgrade to the current production release (4.9). Can I upgrade this with the normal upgrade process, or am I too far out of date to be able to do anything but backup, wipe the machine, and re-install? Thanks, Joe Koenig Production Manager jWe

I have a freebsd 4.9 system that I'd like to get upgraded to 4.10 and then soon to 4.11. However, the server is not physically in front of me, nor do I have physical access to it. Is it possible still to upgrade it, or do I need to physically get in front of the machine somehow? Thanks, Joe Koenig
