/os/ - Online Security

There isn't a single person who would use FreeBSD on real hardware. You can't easily port Linux drivers to it, not much community support... Really, using Gentoo FreeBSD edition or Source Mage is better.

I installed FreeBSD 10 on a Sun Microsystems UltraSparc Creator 3D workstation that I got for $30.  OpenBSD wouldn't work, something about a bad magic number or something.  Anyways the NVRAM had a dead battery so I couldn't get it on the internet because it couldn't register a MAC address which is stored in the NVRAM. I read an article about soldering the NVRAM with a new battery. Replacement is like $70 for a new NVRAM. So it's in the basement for future projects.

That aside I have about 2 or 3 PowerMac G5 silver towers ($50 for a dual 2.3GHz) that I want to install FreeBSD onto.  I've read that this is the way to go with those things. I'll experiment with it this summer.  

I think if you're going to go BSD go OpenBSD, but really these are for different purposes.  If you need to have drivers for video cards and for multiple desktop environments use FreeBSD.  If you want nothing to work, no drivers for video cards, etc but a secure environment then use OpenBSD.  I mainly use Parabola, Gentoo and OpenBSD. Different use cases for different jobs.  I ultimately want to migrate my linux experience to something like Source Mage evenutally when I have more time to spend reading and installing/fixing computers.   But I'm too busy with school to change gears right now.   

FreeBSD friends post your security tips here in this thread.  Links to articles and tutorials about FreeBSD security and other helpful tips are also welcome.  Thanks for starting the thread OP.

I do. I run it on the Xeon workstation under my desk.

post this somewhere else if you are interested

you gotta make suer your ssh deosn't show your key files to the server too

Commenting out
SendEnv LANG LC_*
can help too.

Disabling pubkey auth is important. If you have passwordless key or have key loaded in ssh-agent, option
-oPubkeyAuthentication=no
disables pubkey auth completely.

Also, there's this thing to demonstrate deanon by ssh key:

Finally, my almonds have been activated.

In ~/.ssh/config so you don't leak your username if you forget to specify one.

.is Is great, archive.is people are smart people.

Come to think of it, I think that pricing was an error on their part, should be 89 to 99 USD per year.

I wish I was Norwegian so that I can get a .no instead. Besides .no, I was thinking of .fi but then I realized that EU nations are potentially bad. .tv is under Australia but I might have to settle for that if I really don't want to pay up for .is
