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

2006-03-08 Thread Joe Schmoe
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

logitech mx700 mouse button disfunction under FreeBSD

2005-07-06 Thread Joe Schmoe
The logitech mx700 is a cordless 10-button mouse (3 buttons, two thumb buttons, scroll wheel up and down, two paging buttons, and one "app" button). While the mx500 mouse, that seems to be very closely related to the mx700, has been reported to work (scroll wheel and both thumb buttons function) u

Using a logitech mx700 with scrollwheel _and_ thumb buttons

2005-05-27 Thread Joe Schmoe
Hello, I have a logitech mx700 - it has a scrollwheel and two thumb buttons (designed for forward and back in your browser) as well as some other launch button on the top that I guess is for launching an app. I am using FBSD 5.4-RELEASE with xorg installed from the ports tree. I have tried many,

aggregating a bit of three different network connections into one ...

2005-02-04 Thread Joe Schmoe
Hello, I have three totally distinct network connections at my office. We have an ISDN line, a T1, and a DSL connection. I do not need to worry about the particulars of each connection, because I actually have an ethernet drop for each of them - someone else does the routing/csu-dsu/etc. - I jus

passwordless ssh logins with shared _HOST_ keys - not working.

2004-10-18 Thread Joe Schmoe
(I have asked this several times on -questions and gotten nothing ...) I am trying to allow _all users_ on CLIENT to login to SERVER without a password. IMPORTANT: I am not interested in user keys _at all_ - at no point in this process should I ever be dealing with any keys in /home/user/.ssh -

concurrent scp transfers (and a testing methodology ?)

2004-07-06 Thread Joe Schmoe
I have read several documents on the number of concurrent https sessions a FreeBSD system is capable of. However, I wonder how well this relates to how many ssh sessions (scp file transfers, specifically) that a FreeBSD server can handle. Can anyone throw out some basic numbers for this ? Assu

A few technical items on UFS2 and snapshots...

2004-06-23 Thread Joe Schmoe
(posted to -questions a few days back, but with no response) Hi - a few questions about UFS2 and snapshots: 1. Is it dangerous to mount all 20 possible filesystem snapshots and _leave them mounted_ to use at any time ? What about automatically mounting all 20 snapshots at boot time ? 2. Rela

crashing FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE with tar (!)

2004-06-21 Thread Joe Schmoe
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE is easily crashed with tar. I have a Intel N440BX single CPU Pentium3, dual fxp0, onboard SCSI. 512M ram, and 256M swap. NO programs installed or running - just sshd. I recompiled the kernel, but I _only removed_ raid controllers and ethernet cards that I didn't need (

What kind of a crash is this ? (kernel ? userland ?)

2004-02-01 Thread Joe Schmoe
Hello, I have become familiar with certain FreeBSD crashes - namely, I can tell the difference between the kernel crashing, and the userland crashing. If the machine is down, but I can still ping it, then the userland has crashed - the kernel is still running, which is why it responds to ping
