My attention has just been called to:
http://immunix.org/StackGuard/mechanism.html
Given all of the buffer overrun vulnerabilities that have been found in
various network daemons over time, this seems like a worthwhile sort of
technique to apply when compiling, in particular, network daemons
[Only on -hackers]
With care and a lot of patience, you can build Immunix StackGuard for
FreeBSD. I did this on 3.3-R. If there's interest, I can post build
instructions (I probably don't have time to put together a port).

The situation here, I hate to say, is that you were simply very lucky
in having a software memory tester show you anything at all.
If your experience had been more typical, you would have run memtest86
and it would have declared your memory to be free of errors. Then

It supposedly does under Linux, at least (and if you're talking about

These sources might need a bit of work, even for Linux, though there
are folks out there who have it running under Linux/Alpha. I'd a

I recently installed FreeBSD on my daughter's machine, remotely.
She'd been on Windows3 since growing up and moving away from my
NeXT, so "UNIX" wasn't a scary word to her, and she was getting
tired of "Windows95 or better" on anything she was interested in,
and certainly wanted "better" if she w

If you want you may see my KLD drivers. Two of them for ISA and one for

History:
I had a device driver for a BDM (Background Debug Module for
Motorola 683xx CPUs) that worked fine as a kernel device and a LKM. It
was based upon the LPT driver, because it attached to the parallel port,
and the JOY LKM, cause it was simple.
Present:
I have updated the driver,
Solaris has this nifty little tool for querying the bootparam server on a
booting system. Handy little gadget for getting various system configuration
at boot time. Neither OpenBSD nor FreeBSD have it (FreeBSD has callbootd,
but I cannot get it to work easily), so I wrote a simple 'bpgetfile' fo
I just ran a tcpdump -s1500 for 5 minutes, gathered ~21k of data over that
time, no mentions of stale NFS handles from the NFS server... it would
appear the NFS client is not asking for those pages (it makes sense, since if
it asked and got the 'stale' error one would expect the SEGV).

Ah!... ok, it is an NFS bug. I've been trying to track this down
for a while ever since you reported the 3.4 lockup bug. This is probably
related to a similar problem.
There is a bug somewhere related to NFS locking up while doing a
