X-Sender: netcmd@mckenzie.waystation.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Unbinding the stack Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi: I am attempting to deploy some intrusion detection software using freebsd and would like to get some suggestions about how to keep the IDS machines quite and just sniffing. Here are some requirements: The IDS needs the interface up -- ifconfig down chokes it. The NIC needs an IP address. I know I could use ipfw and deny everything (this works) but is there another way. And what's up with The Matrix FX created with FreeBSD? Thanks, Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
