These systems were on a home cable modem connection and there were pretty regular break-in attempts. When reviewing logs, I'd see attempts to brute-force logins and passwords for the ftp and ssh services. I eventually had to turn ftpd off since it seemed guaranteed to panic the box during one of these cracking attempts. sshd seemed to handle things better, but I have had one panic occur. I haven't tried 6.2 to see if I encounter similar problems. -Damian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Have fun, David Thanks, I suspected as much after searching the FreeBSD lists and looking for info on the net. We can always build what little we need on Solaris, I just prefer to use FreeBSD when I can. These are not fancy servers and they will not be doing anything other than basic AV scanning and pumping mail out the door for our network clients. I appreciate the response.

Sun Fire x2100
Just finished searching the archives and net and turned up a few answers. I also checked the AMD64 release notes for FBSD 6.1. Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Sun Fire X2100? Any caveats I should know about? Looks like it should be a simple install and run. We will be using these servers as outbound SMTP servers so they will be running just the minimum mail services, smtp-auth, and clamAV.
