Let's hear it for your electric company !! That's a long time with uninterupted power. Or were you trying to imply OS stability with no load ?

Hey, how about an IP, I bet there's some juicy security vulnerabilities on that box!

Those are from the FreeBDSM party... Not entirely the same crowd for that one.

Thanks for the link, I will update the article with it!

BTW, it is scary, but me and JBQ are on six of Matt's pictures (and we didn't stay for the whole duration there)! Here is one, so you can spot us on the other 5:

BTW, it is such a shame that I didn't know that Matt Dillon was there, because we have made 2 interviews by email already, and I couldn't recognize him in the crowd... At some point I saw a guy with a good camera (Matt's got a Canon 10D, which is what my husband wants to buy for Christmas) and I told my husband: "look, that guy has a nice camera".

My headless FreeBSD 4.9 server is an absolute dream to maintain. Just run my buildworld script when ever a security advisory shows up on the FreeBSD web site, and it just runs...

I wish I could have been there too :/ Wed, 26 Nov 2003 09:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Long uptime doe not necessarily mean that the server contains security vulnerabilities. Assuming a few things:
1) If you don't use any of the components in the bases system that have been patched for security (OpenSSL etc (OpenSSL can be used from ports and then it is patched separately). To know that you have to keep track of known security vulnerabilities as I assume all good admins do
2) Use a firewall to shield off anything that is not served.
3) The server daemons (Apache, proftpd etc) are patched as needed when security vulnerabilities are found. These and almost everything you install from ports are patched without taking the system down.

Now OTOH if sendmail is used on that system and not patched in over a year then that system is ready for taking


Gotta looove the daemon! Here's something for all the zealots and trollers: FreeBSD 4 is dead! Long live FreeBSD 5!

Time to upgrade my FreeBSD server to 5.2, successively upgraded from 4.3 to 4.9 by source over 2.25 years (do THAT with windows or most linux distros ).
