Message-ID: <20000107152815.A11225@typhoon.xnet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org So far, one of my servers, a BSD 3.2-R machine, has mysteriously crashed twice this week. This machine functions as a gateway and firewall to our internet connection, so it's the most visible host here. I use ipfw to block pretty much all the low ports except those we really need, such as ssh, ntp, smtp, etc... I don't see anything in the logs indicating what might have happened. Not only that, but ipfw *refuses* to log to syslog on this box!?! My /etc/syslog.conf is an exact copy of the same file on another machine which DOES correctly log ipfw.
