How often do you get break-in attempts? Also, what hardware is it running on?
Daily (this from an hour ago):
Mar 6 12:10:07 mail sshd[98904]: refused connect from 221-147-178-94.pool.ukrtel.net (94.178.147.221)
Mar 6 12:10:07 mail sshd[98904]: refused connect from 221-147-178-94.pool.ukrtel.net (94.178.147.221)
But I am running Slackware on the inside for email and www work now.
FreeBSD is just running to harden the system from attacks. My preference
would be to keep running FreeBSD over Linux, but for work that is not a
viable option anymore. The RSTS.org hardware is pretty simple:

Use cheap hardware and USB connect to a jbod with 4TB. When the cheap
hardware dies, grab another cheap donated piece of hardware and reboot.
I have 3 more of those cheap Gateway machines that were given to me. My
plan was to simh different versions of RSTS on them for telnet access.
The hardware at work is much nicer (but they have a budget, I don't):
Multiple...
Dell rack Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5675 @ 3.07GHz 288GB memory 10TB drives.

This doesn't either.

Hello!
This does not explain why there are four Yeti in those areas trying to
do that ..
Sure it does.
"How many yetis does it take to build a kernel?"
Did you see the odd looking yellow car outside your place today?

Hello!
They aren't trying to build it, they are trying to crash the system,
and from inside the building.
Ahh. Well, they are yetis. Why do they need to crash the kernel when they can just trample the hardware?

Good thing the linux kernel doesn't magically patch itself. ;)
