I saw something about a ping vulnerability on Twitter and immediately upgraded my headless box. It sounded like a serious vulnerability.

Yep, adding that to my Makefile was the easiest solution

I have some C code that includes this header file: #include <json-c/json.h> I'm getting fatal error: 'json-c/json.h' file not found because my path variable doesn't include /usr/local/include/json-c where the json.h header exists. Of course it compiles using a #include...

I get a lot of error: kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host on my physical monitor (running FreeBSD 13.1) but I never see them on a remote terminals. I figured they are random scans because I'm forwarding port 22 on my router.

Was your install successfu?

I'm running FreeBSD 11 on a Dell PowerEdge R610 with the following specs: $ sudo sysctl hw.model hw.machine hw.ncpu hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5506 @ 2.13GHz hw.machine: i386 hw.ncpu: 8 Looking at the Xen Hypervisor 4.7.0_2 on FreshPorts, it says the architecture is nil...

Great information! Let me add that there a some firewalls that run FreeBSD, including the Netgate SG-100 microFirewall. I suppose those count as embedded systems?

I've never seen a server with that amount of RAM. What's their mission?

Is there a web site that lists the embedded OS that hardware (TV's, speakers, refrigerators, DVRs, toasters, etc.) are running? I'm mainly interested in learning which consumer items are running FreeBSD, but also interested the hardware running Linux, embedded Windows, etc.

Still available from Washington State. Whew, you had me worried there for a second.

No kidding, I hadn't realized that routers had become so inexpensive. I see some on eBay for ~$10US. Do you know a supported USB WiFi dongle?

Cost, mainly. Plus I don't want to daisy-chain wireless routers. It's an older motherboard and I want to get a cable to it as cheaply as possible without tearing up drywall or purchasing another router.

@SirDice, That is what I thought, they should be OS independent. The reviews are all over the map: some people seem to have excellent speed while others see sluggish connections. I think some of it might have to do with the building's wiring, too. Not necessarily the age but the quality and RF...

Has anyone had success using FreeBSD and Ethernet over power line? If so, what hardware are you using? I've heard that some of the kits are Windows-only. I'm not sure what it would be OS-specific but that is what I have heard. I'm planning on setting up a FreeBSD box and don't like the idea of...

Very good. The Sturmtiger is a nice touch. :e

I have a box running 9.1; however, the router resides in my wife’s office so I have cat cable strung between rooms. I’m wondering if one of those wi-fi USB dongles would work with 9.1? If someone has experience with them I'd be interested to hear about it.

Well, looks like it already is. [root@ /etc]# sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE

Thanks. However, I didn't install X Windows since it's a server.

The only line I found in devd.conf is below: # Lid: Lid state (0 is closed, 1 is open) However, I don't see anywhere I can edit to modify the lid state. Perhaps that is referring to something in the kernel?

I have an old laptop that I'd like use as a web server; however, it likes to sleep/hibernate when the lid is closed. Can I edit /etc/sysctl.conf so the laptop will stay awake 24/7?
