Just in case anyone was planning on purchasing a Dell Precision M90 and running a 64-bit OS, it’s important to be aware of the maximum RAM limitation. It appears the M90 is being limited by the 945 Chipset.
I recently had a reason to block an IP address from accessing our FTP server. This particular server was a FreeBSD system running ProFTPD. After doing a little research, I found a simple way of doing it. ProFTPD was designed to use a configuration file similar to Apache. So, doing connection blocking looks just like an .htaccess file.
