10:14 AM - FreeBSD 4.9 pre release

I upgraded the server today to 4.9 pr1. So far, so good. The kernel is larger but its very peppy. SSH is much more responsive, and compiling seems quick too.

I have the firewall up, but the config got screwed up. Its only blocking limited traffic right now. I want to setup a script to restore my settings if this happens again. I want the firewall just as an extra precautionary measure. I feel the services offered are up to date other than tomcat. There aren't any big security issues with my tomcat install that i'm aware of.. so that means we are good to go. I will upgrade tomcat to release 4.1.27 plus patch today if i get time. 5.x is still to new..
