Well, here we go again!
Ports freeze is over and the overnight update of the ports tree results in
literally 100s of ports to be updated in order to stay current. Problem
is, as it has been the last several cycles, that several of the ports
which are dependencies for many others - cairo, for example - are broken
or are themselves dependent on broken, vulnerable or deprecated ports.
Now I KNOW these problems will be resolved, the sun will continue to shine,
the birds will sing and all will be right with the world. But what I find
disturbing is that this has become a regular thing, part of the rush to

Stale BINDings
I note that the release notes for BIND 9.6-ESV and 9.7.0-P1
claim it works with FreeBSD 4.10,5.2.1,and 6.2 (those for
the still-patched 9.4-ESV-R1,though it is a newer version
than came with 6.4,only say it works with 6.1).
So are 4.11 and 5.5 and 6.4 and 7.3 and 8.0 and 9-CURRENT
untested by BIND people at ISC?

devfs confusion
Can't write to usb devices as a non-root user on 7.2-stable. Have
in /etc/devfs.conf:
perm da* 0660
own da* root:operator
in /etc/devfs.rules:
[local=20]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator
in /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="local"
in /etc/sysctl.conf
vfs.usermount=1
A user in group operator can mount usb devices, but cannot write to
them. The mount point, e.g. /home/someuser/mnt is always set to mode
744 and user root:wheel. What did I miss?

How to write a usb device driver?
Hi there.
All I have found about the subject is this link
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/devicedrivers.html
Are there any articles, books or something. Perhaps someone can share
experience about
how to start writing such things. Or all that remains for me is to
read sources?

Nvidia driver for AMD64
I'm about to install FreeBSD on a system that would support the AMD64

The latest version for AMD64 is 195.36.15, released on Mar. 16. If
anyone has yet installed it on 8.0, would they care to relate their

Starting vncserver on boot?
I am running FBSD 8.0 on a computer intended as a server, and would
like to dispense with the use of a monitor on that computer. I am able
to connect to it using Tightvnc on another computer on the LAN that
does have a monitor, so this seems like a feasible possibility.
However, it would be desirable for vncserver to start on boot on the
headless machine, which it presently does not.
This is apparently not a service that can be started with rc.d. Once
logged in, however, it is only necessary to type "vncserver" to make a
remote desktop available. If anyone has suggestions on how to d

Extra inet entries in ifconfig
I have FreeBSD server that I just hooked up to my home network. I got
it talking on the net, but the ifconfig contains 16 extra entries that
read like this:
inet 216.176.199.204 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 216.176.199.255
only the first entry which goes to the local 192.168.1.78 is correct.
How can I remove these extra invalid entries? They are not in the
rc.conf file, or anywhere else in etc or any of it subdirs that I can
find.

Need help in hacking FreeBSD used as a control plane on Juniper routers
Hi there,
I'm looking for help in hacking FreeBSD used as a control plane on
Juniper routers.
It is possible to install FreeBSD on ordinary PC or vmware/qemu and
then Junos (Juniper Operating System that lays on top of FreeBSD) and
have cheap training environment. It is called Olive.
The main problem I'm facing now is interface naming. Junos uses
interface names like ge-0/0/0 for first gigabit interface, ge-0/0/1
for second and so on. FreeBSD in the other hand uses em0, em1 (for
e1000 NICs). Unfortunately Junos depends on interface names and does
not allow to configure some of

Hello,

I've just installed FreeBSD and something's gone wrong - it's not brought up

Port for qt4-corelib broken?
Hello
I have just downloaded the port for qt4-corelib.
When I run make I am informed that I don't have corelib-4.5.2.tar.gz
(notwithstanding that the freebsd ports page from which I downloaded the
port says it's 4.6.1???).
I am then informed that ftp.freebsd.org doesn't have it either and I
should download it by hand. Of course I can't find it at ftp.freebsd.org
either... Searching for this file on Google did not produce any valid
results.

Two HD with soft RAID1 in a datacenter: GEOM broken on FreeBSD 7.1
Hello,
After a mail reading from a 3Gb inbox file (yes I know!), the mail

But 2 minutes later, the server is up but no SSH access...
The datacenter offers a "rescue manager" with a network boot. I was
able to mount the 2 disks, delete the file in /var/mail/

Strange DHCP issue
This is probably not actualy a FreeBSD issue, but I'd appreciate some
ideas.
I've got a FreeBSD 6.2 box with two ethernet cards in it - dc0 and re0.
The machine basically acts as my internet gateway and does mail, news,
firewalling, that sort of thing.
re0 has a static ip address of 192.168.1.1 and is the NIC for the
internal network (mostly Macs).
dc0 gets its IP address via DHCP from a BT Business Hub 2700HGV ADSL
router.
Here's where it starts to get a bt strange...
The Business Hub is set to issue DHCP in the range 192.168.2.2 to

Ephemeral ports
Hi,
While looking for some valid port configurations,
i came across that in Solaris 2.2 by default the
ephemeral ports for TCP and UDP start at 32768.
Just eager to know the reason of why does it
start at 32768 (2 to the power of 15) ?
And i wonder why does it not follow the IANA range ?
Interestingly, many linux kernels also use the
same and why do not they stick towards IANA range ?
BSD and Windows stick towards 1024 to 4999
and 1025 to 5000 respectively, while Vista and
FreeBSD stick towards IANA range !
Any ideas ?

FBSD-7.2-R-p6: csup problems while cvsup works
I'm using csup in cvs mode to fetch NetBSD (all) among
others (didn't see this with FreeBSD's repository).
This mostly works, but sometimes fails updating big
files (in general >4-5 kB (e.g. font files for X). I'm
getting "Receiver: Connection reset by peer" messages,
and after this csup uses all 100 % CPU, slows down
(needs >10 minutes to update a 4-5 kByte file) and
finally exits with "Will retry in ...".
Strangely substituting csup to cvsup (same command
line: cvsup -g -L 2 -d 100 conf-file, same config)
yields a 2-3 % CPU utilisation and no problems at all.

mail encryption
Hi,
is there a ready to use solution in the FreeBSD ports for the following
task?
1. User authenticates at the MTA
2. MTA looks up the public and private keys for sender and reciever
3. MTA signs message with the users private key
4. MTA encrypts the message with the recievers public key (when in DB)
I know you can do that all with a modern email client. I want this on the
server side! A company key is less prefered.

Free/PC-BSD 8 live-CD
Any idea why on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop it kernel panics and
refuses to load? Works fine on a Dimenson 9150.

FBSD7.2+gmirror+gjournal: spontaneous reboots on excessive disk access?
Hi --
I'm running a gmirror raid1 plus gjournal for a year now. This is a
7.2-RELEASE-p6 right now. Both disks are regular ATA and healthy
according smartctl.
Whenever I beat my disks heavily, e.g. by ...
dd if=/dev/null of=/some/file bs=1M count=4k
plus
parallel disk accesses by mail and http server.
.... I'll experience sponteous reboots without any hints in logfiles.
If I omit all parallel disk access those dd's will run to completion
without reboots.
My question is: anyone else?
Regards,
Michael

cdrkit vs. dvd+rw-tools and the dvd iso 4gb max filesize problem
Hello world!
Simple and tricky question - who can burn a 4.4GB file to a DVD+/-R
disk on his FreeBSD? ;-)
I am wondering why FreeBSD still uses obsolete dvd+rw-tools package by
default instead of cdrkit. The main disadvantage of the dvd+rw-tools
is that it is based on a mkisofs and so it cannot write files larger
than 4GB to a DVD/Bluray disks (the same is for creating iso images).
Due to some licensing problems [1] cdrtools project split up and
cdrkit with genisoimage came to the light.
After over an hour of googling it turned out that this is the filesize

tv tuner card support?
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with tv tuners in FreeBSD 8? I
just bought a Hauppauge Win-TV at Best Buy and pciconf -lv gives me a
"none" device. And this is after I recompiled the kernel to include the
bktr stuff like the handbook recommends.
Is there a better option? If so, is command line capture feasible? It
seems like it would be with mencoder...

NFS export of ZFS mount point
Hi
I have a drive using ZFS and organised with one mount-point for each
home directory
like:
$ zfs list
pool/home 296G 7.63T 140K /pool/home
pool/home/user1 229K 7.63T 29.9K /pool/home/user1
pool/home/user2 9.49M 7.63T 513K /pool/home/user2
pool/home/user3 4.43M 7.63T 44.8K /pool/home/user3
pool/home/user4 4.77M 7.63T 120K /pool/home/user4
etc...
I'd like to export pool/home and all the sub- mount point at once..
However, when I mount pool/home from the oth

9,000 ZFS mount points
Hi,
My team is looking at upgrading our FreeBSD fileserver, we've been
extrememly happy with FreeBSD, the fileserver serves:
umpteen NFS clients (all FreeBSD)
2,000 CIFS clients with Samba
9,000 homedirectories on about 4 TB of RAID disks on InforTrend RAID
chassies, 2GB battery backed up RAM on RAID chassis
with user quotas
Our present box is dated. It's FreeBSD 6.2, dual processor, 4GB RAM
running 32 bit OS. We will find some money to upgrade it.
We've looked at (and talked to) NetApp and Sun about replacement products,
but we're also evaluating an inho

Point-to-point link without PPP on freebsd? Is it possible?
Is it possible to implement a point-to-point link on FreeBSD without
using PPP? I'm trying to create a "tappable" link between a fbsd
firewall and router that can be used to monitor multiple networks
(connected to the router) using Snort. I realize that I could just as
easily use a /30, but I'm just curious if it could be done with a /31
not using PPP. NAT for the internet connection is performed by the
firewall
Here is a rude drawing of the network (hopefully Google Groups, doesnt
distort it too much).
Internet -----> Firewall --------------------> Router -----> 3 subnets

FreeBSD 8 and backward (in)compatibility
Hello world!
I have upgraded my 7.2 system to 8.0 with freebsd-update utility. The
system was unusable then because some dynamic libraries were updated
and so almost nothing did work after all. Is there any good solution
to upgrade a working system to a working state? Maybe creating
symlinks at upgrade time pointing at new dynamic libraries is the
solution? TO be honest I dont want to install everything from scratch
every half a year...
By the way - I have tried to run airodump-ng on a 8.0 box and it
turned out that some ioctl was removed within the wifi driver and the
tool is no

what happened to ttyd0
Greetings,
I just upgraded a Sun v20z AMD box from FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE to 8.0-
STABLE and ran into some unexpected problems. The v20z has a ALOM
that I can ssh too and connect to the console and run the upgrade in
single user mode. After booting into the FreeBSD 8.0 kernel, I have
no getty running on ttyd0. So after my panic attack subsided, I re-
started the thing and let it boot to multiuser, I ssh'd in and
finished the upgrade in multiuser mode. I have alot to do, upgrade
all the ports, etc but its looking okay for the most part.
My question is, what happened to ttyd0, its n

brute force attacks
I've seen this question pop up in this group here and there, but I'm not
sure there's ever been an answer that's satisfied me. If someone wants
to use, say, telnet or ftpd, is there a good way to thwart brute force
attacks? It would be nice if either of those programs had a lockout
feature, or something like that. Are there any clever strategies?
