    eavesdropping with tcpdump

    Maybe, but I am connecting to a third-party data provider and they are using a hardware VPN so I will probably end up doing what I can. I'm a developer more than a network admin but the boss is too tight to employ enough technical people, strange as that may sound.

    eavesdropping with tcpdump

    I just checked your assertion by listening to port 22 and I can confirm you are quite correct! Well I never. I feel cheated! Another bit of information logged away there. Verily SirDice I am most grateful! I've decided to us a proper IPSec tunnel VPN now anyway.

    eavesdropping with tcpdump

    Really!! Wow that's only the second time ever! :) Ah! so it still goes via port 22, well that never occurred to me at all. Thanks very much for the help.

    eavesdropping with tcpdump

    Oh, I see, (I think!) I was trying this sort of thing: ssh -v -L 8888:cherry:8888 billy@cherry When I tcpdump on the ports in question on either machine it shows in the clear. So either the SSH has happened or I am wrong. Hence I was trying to eavesdrop. It was just to satisfy my curiosity.

    eavesdropping with tcpdump

    I am playing about with SSL tunnels and am trying to look to see if it really is encrypted. I am trying with a third machine to look at the traffic, like so: tcpdump -i eth1 src spitfire and dst cherry But here I get no trafic showing up. Should this work? They are all on the same LAN but it...

    Sound card in 9.2

    Yes I was curious about the jacks thing. It seems to have the line-out correct on green jack though, but I haven't worked out how to play about with that stuff yet. That was my next step, maybe try and compare with the Debian setup.

    Sound card in 9.2

    Yes that thought did occur to me. I tried to delete all Linux stuff I had installed with pkg, (I did try Linux Firefox) I had some Linux ALSA modules in there, but notice that the Linux kernel module still appears. As I said I've been out since 8.2. so maybe this is normal now. I may try...

    Sound card in 9.2

    Hello, I am back on FreeBSD after a break since 8.2. (FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE). I was running 8.2 but have been out of the loop for about nine months. Now my hardware is the same and it used to work but I find the sound card no longer works though it appears something is detected maybe? $ cat...

    FreeBSD Hosting/Shared/VPS etc.

    Elastichosts now do FreeBSD install disks. I have been using them since before Christmas, 24 x 7 financial data. I run about 20 servers. I am using Debian though as FreeBSD wasn't an option at the time and we needed a pronto turnaround, we were being evicted! I doubt if anyone has an easier to...

    FreeBSD Hosting/Shared/VPS etc.

    I plumped for elastichosts. You can install any PC operating system at all, they have a selection of pre-installed linux and DOS out of the box drives but they have a FreeBSD install DVD you can step through. You can even upload your own ISO boot image. They are a very good price too, no...

    FreeBSD Hosting/Shared/VPS etc.

    UK Virtual hosting advice requested This isn't a FreeBSD particular question but there may be some expertise here and I would appreciate any advice. I need to move my company's infrastructure, in London, out of the building in a few months. We have quite a few servers, 20-30, linux...

    @hiawatha Righto, I am testing.

    lightweight httpd needed

    They aren't system logs, just logs from scripts, cron jobs, configs etc. Setting up remote syslog is bit of a sledgehammer. I've never really liked using syslog for user mode stuff. You have to make all scripts use it. It's dead easy to do: exec > $log exec 2>&1 Mostly though, I have...

    lightweight httpd needed

    So Mr Hiawatha I take it your webserver is better than all the others! ;) I just tried it on puppy linux and it seems to do what I need. I.e. Perl CGI. I will give it a go when I get back to work!

    New to BSD Programming, where to start?

    Nonsense! If you have a lot of other experience it only makes life easier. If you want to get deeper into FreeBSD you must learn C as all the system libraries are in C. Learning C will never do you any harm. That said, I am in in a high pressure job and mostly I write in Perl because I can get...

    Criticism of the C code, a young programmer!

    $(EXECUTABLE): yep.o $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $> $(LDFLAGS) yep.o: yep.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $> Also you don't need to re-define these rules in your makefile. They already exists. You don't even need a makefile to work in a simple manner: $ echo 'int main(void){return 0; }' > 1.c $ make 1...

    set MAC address at boot

    Hmm something like that maybe. It was up and running quite a while though, more than a week before it came to light. The router's connected to some sort of leased line we have no control over it. So I'm told anyway.

    set MAC address at boot

    Well, we swapped a lower spec machine out and swapped IP address to avoid reconfiguration. After which port 80 stopped working. It was fine on the old box. (Both FreeBSD 8.2 set up by me this year). We don't own the router so someone suggested it would possibly be the MAC address IP...

    set MAC address at boot

    I think next time somebody asks me to mess about with a MAC address I will tell them to bog off!
