The original question had to do with requests to a web server, and it
would not be practical nor typical to route all http traffic through
inetd.
As well, tcpwrappers require manual work; mod_security and fail2ban
are both ban automatically based on specified criteria and patterns.

Null (bogus) route that /24 seems the most simple to me: 5 seconds and no

Check out portsentry perhaps?
I used to use it quite a bit. Whenever someone would hit one of a number
of defined ports, I'd automatically add a rule denying them in IPFW and
also drop their route to a non-existent IP on my class C.

fail2ban by default only bans an IP for 10 minutes, and that's
configurable. It can also email you anytime it imposes a ban, so one
can keep an eye on things at least in the beginning to see if it's

I guess part of it must have something to do with how the devices are
identified by the FreeBSD kernel vs linux. I know also that when using a ZFS
boot partition, it takes a lot longer to my system to boot compared to
UFS...

I know this is a awful subject, but I recently tried a Gentoo on my

I don't talk about the init/rc script but only kernel initialisation.
For linux kernel it's around 5-6 seconds vs 15-18 seconds for

these situations arise quite often where you have to delete a port before

sometimes you can predict it by reading /usr/ports/UPDATING

Hi,
[ I'm late on thread, so briefly ]
If you get desperate overheating & crashes, try eg
/usr/sbin/powerd -a min -b min -n min
Thats what I'm doing on one box, till I can remove, review/ regrease.
One can also observe subsets of values from
sysctl -a | grep temp
