sshd (or global) max-connections-per-user setting under FreeBSD ?

I am running a stock FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE system, with the built-in ssh/sshd. I am interested in limiting the number of ssh connections any particular user can make to the system ... for instance, if limited to 3, they could login interactively, commence an rsync over ssh, and commence an scp file

userland access to mountpoint's struct mount

2006-03-08 Thread Eric Anderson
Sorry if this is a very basic question, but I'm trying to extend the struct mount (sys/sys/mount.h) to contain a lot of statistics, and then use a userland tool to read those statistics on a per mounted file system basis. I can't seem to figure out exactly how to do this, and even if this real

I have used the whole range (or somewhat) for internal SA's. Starting with the internal one in DL380R1 and up to G4. Performance of 6i in freebsd is better than 5i, but worse than if you insert a external card (6402/6404). I mostly use the internal SA as systemdisk only on systems with a lot of d
