    Solved NTP listening on all IPs - including those belonging to Jails

    I don't think it is possible to restrict ntpd to a certain interface. This can indeed be abused when running jails. You can use restrict to harden your configuration, or choose the simple solution and switch to net/openntpd. ntimed will probably also be a fine alternative when it's ready.

    Solved What is causing high loads on my server?

    systat with the -ifstat or -netstat options. Also, take a look at gstat. High load is often caused by disk I/O.

    Consider switching to a more recent version of Perl

    You'll probably notice §e The fact that Perl is threaded by default now, is probably because the developers are convinced that it should not pose any trouble. There are ports that require Perl to be threaded, like misc/amanda-server. I don't know any ports that can't handle threaded Perl. See...

    Re: Can't install p5-Digest-SHA1 (for rkhunter) Maybe your Perl version is too old? Try installing lang/perl5.16 or lang/perl5.18 first.

    NSA data storage

    It explains why Snowden quit his job as a systems administrator. Imagine having to replace hundreds of hard drives each day. I remember reading that Google doesn't care about losing drives with search results, because the web crawlers will find the data back anyway. The NSA probably doesn't...

    NSA data storage

    I'm not sure if there is a sane and manageable way. Nearline storage probably? This is a prime example how money could be better spent. I suppose they also keep backups, which would double the data. Something like what is used for the Wayback Machine is actually smaller. According to Wikipedia...

    USB/DVI KVM switch recommendations?

    I have been using an ATEN CS1644 for some years now. Recently, I switched monitors to 2x 2560x1440 and the picture is still as sharp as directly connected to a pc. You can choose to play audio on one pc, connect USB to another, and use the keyboard/mouse/monitor on a third. It's not a cheap...

    The upgrade to 9.2-RELEASE went smooth. After the upgrade, I did a zpool status # zpool status rpool pool: rpool state: ONLINE status: The pool is formatted using a legacy on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Upgrade the pool using...

    Argue: FreeBSD over Ubuntu

    Regarding 2. "It just works." The problem with Ubuntu server is that it's based on Ubuntu. The result is that features that don't belong on a server get in the server version. Upstart, mountall and a boot splash that hides important messages were really, really troublesome in the past, and...

    Error when compiling devel/gettext in jail

    How did you force a reinstallation of the basejail? If I do ezjail-admin update -U -s 9.1-RELEASE, I get freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.1-RELEASE to itself

    Error when compiling devel/gettext in jail

    Nothing out of the ordinary. I also usually compile ports without NLS. lang= lc_ctype="c" lc_collate="c" lc_time="c" lc_numeric="c" lc_monetary="c" lc_messages="c" lc_all= Is this a bad idea?

    Error when compiling devel/gettext in jail

    So, is there a way to force ezjail-admin update -u without it telling you freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.1-RELEASE to itself Or, can the basejail be reinstalled somehow?

    Error when compiling devel/gettext in jail

    I found a solution, but I'm not sure if it's the right way. Usually, I update the basejail with # ezjail-admin update -u This time, I had to update by running # ezjail-admin -i After that devel/gettext can be compiled, but I'm entirely unsure about this method. Is there something I'm...
