sysctl command
I setup a CentOS Linux based Linux server running as a gateway and firewall server. However, I’m getting the following messages in the /var/log/messages log file:
Dec 20 00:41:01 fw01 kernel: Neighbour table overflow.
Dec 20 00:41:01 fw01 last message repeated 20 times
OR
Dec 20 00:41:01 fw03 kernel: [ 8987.821184] Neighbour table overflow.
Dec 20 00:41:01 fw03 kernel: [ 8987.860465] printk: 100 messages suppressed.
Why does kernel throw “Neighbour table overflow” messages in syslog? How do I fix this problem under Debian / CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / Ubuntu Linux?

I‘m getting an error which read as follows under FreeBSD 7.2 server and Squid stable caching server:

Many commands accepts username and passwords on the command line and ps, top, sockstat and many commands can display this information to all users on the system. How do I prevent users from seeing information about processes that are being run under another UID to avoid information leakage under FreeBSD operating systems?
