As I already write, it is very bad thing that ACPI is in conflicts with default hints file correctly describing devices used. ACPI must ignore duplicate devices from the hints. The problem with floppy is harder, because floppy controller present in ACPI but the floppy itself not present (on my motherboard at least), so in current situation fdc0 must not be in hints, but fd0 must be, it makes whole thing even more cryptic. Doesn't work, exactly the same problem - see attached device.hints. Knock, knock... Is anybody home? Hmm, it is very sad to see that acpi code is totally unsupported, especially in the spite of recent how to attract people to test -current thread. The problem is still here, as of today's kernel. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

ACPI and APM interoperability?
Hi, I'm wondering how I should handle APM now that ACPI has basically taken over power management responsibility. It seems I still need to configure APM so that /dev/apm is there and battery monitoring utilities like the GNOME battery_applet can work. I also was able to suspend and resume my machine (DELL Inspiron 7500) with APM being configured (and ACPI being active by default). Sound is dead after a resume, PCMCIA is dead after a couple of resumes, I have to switch to text mode before suspend or else the LCD will turn pale, but still, the basic functionality is there. APM used to lockup on resume, so this is a definite improvement. Oh, and I'm wondering why a close of the lid only does a mild suspend where the laptop still hums (disk? fan?). I need to do a acpiconf -s3 in order to get it to really suspend. Is this configurable someplace? -- Regards, Georg.

HEADS UP: UUCP migration to ports
Hi all, As discussed on -arch, I've removed the UUCP utilities from the base system, and they now live in the net/freebsd-uucp port. I have left the cu utility behind, because it reportedly has capabilities not supported by tip at this time. Ideally, it would be great if we can get any missing capabilities added to tip so we can complete the removal of cu, but that's a project for another time and possibly another person (I've noticed OpenBSD have done some work in this direction already). I've verified that cu continues to build, but since I don't use it I can't test whether it still works. Please let me know of any problems with this, or the UUCP port and I'll be happy to fix them. Kris P.S. I'm running a post-commit buildworld now to verify that I haven't broken the build. PGP signature

Re: uucp user shell and home directory
Lyndon Nerenberg writes: Garrett == Garrett Wollman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Garrett I remember, back in the mists of ancient time, it was Garrett common practice to provide ``anonymous UUCP'' service Garrett along the lines of anonymous FTP in (what was at that Garrett time) ARPANET. Yup, I used to run one of those (ncc). osu-cis was probably the grandaddy of the anonymous UUCP sites. The convention seemed to be to use the login 'nuucp' for anonymous passwordless access. (And I wouldn't call it common -- there were only a handful sites that provided this type of service.) The convention was to use ``uucp'' as the default anonymous login service. Some people had the mistaken impression that there was some sort of hole in the uucp system which was caused by using uucp as a default login for uucp service. No such hole existed in modern uucico processes, although there were bugs in early uucico (7th Edition vintage) which may be the reason that these rumors started. Of course, it didn't hurt the spread of these rumors that most BSD sites were stuck in the 7th Edition heritage and never actually caught up to the modern HoneyDanBer uucp. With the HoneyDanBer uucp, there were no security holes in uucico and it was completely safe to use uucp as an anonymous login service. However, most university sites mistakenly perpetuated the nuucp service, mostly for administrative reasons. That said, for max security it is always useful to have each site have its own login, up to a point. Some large uucp sites used to use common logins simply because there was so little security risk (especially with HoneyDanBer variety). Certainly, anonymous uucp is more secure than anonymous ftp. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Re: uucp user shell and home directory
Ruslan == Ruslan Ermilov [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ruslan It doesn't really matter what the home directory is set to Ruslan (IIRC), but the shell must be uucico(8). No, this is wrong on both counts. By convention, the home directory of the uucp login has corresponded to the UUCP PUBDIR. Traditionally this was /usr/spool/uucppublic, and maps to /var/spool/uucppublic these days. Thus, if I wanted to copy a file to the public file area on machine b I would incant uucp file b!~ and the uucico on the remote end would expand the '~' to /usr/spool/uucppublic. This usage predates (and probably inspired) the common behavior of current shells handling of '~' expansion. While no modern UUCP I'm aware of uses the value of pw-pw_dir to derive PUBDIR, POLA would imply that the interpretation of '~uucp' should be the same for both the uucp(1) command and for shells that do ~ expansion. Therefore I would recommend keeping the UUCP home directory as /var/spool/uucppublic. If you want to be paranoid you make this directory owned by root.wheel and mode 0555 without breaking anything. As for the `uucp' account's shell, this should be set to /sbin/nologin. The purpose of the uucp entry in /etc/passwd is to provide a unique runtime uid for the setuid UUCP components. Note that there are some periodic maintenance scripts that should be run if you actively use UUCP. These traditionally run under the `uucp' identity, so you need to make sure that they will continue to function with /sbin/nologin. (Which they should, otherwise they would have barfed with uucico as the shell.) The shell for the uucp account should most certainly NOT be uucico! And you should *never* allow remote site UUCP logins (those that run uucico) under the `uucp' login, for obvious security reasons. Instead, create seperate unique logins for each remote site, just as you would for each of your shell accounts, but set the login shell to uucico. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Is there any reason why this can't be changed to: uucp:*:66:66:UUCP pseudo-user:/:/sbin/nologin As already was told on that channel, this comes from the times when ``uucp'' user didn't have password and the account was used for UUCP communication over serial lines. Any dialup UUCP user should have a passwd(5) entry built like the ``uucp''. It doesn't really matter what the home directory is set to (IIRC), but the shell must be uucico(8). It doesn't make any sense though to enable the ``uucp'' account. Moreover, doing so may have a bad impact on system's security, as many UUCP related files are owner by the user ``uucp''. Having said that, I'm with Sheldon on how this change should be done, i.e., change home directory to /nonexistent and shell to /sbin/nologin.

Re: uucp user shell and home directory
The convention was to use ``uucp'' as the default anonymous login service. I think we're talking about two different things. Yes, many UNIX distributions shipped with a passwordless 'uucp' account with uucico as the shell. My comments about the 'nuucp' convention were referring to the publically visible anonymous UUCP sites. Some people had the mistaken impression that there was some sort of hole in the uucp system which was caused by using uucp as a default login for uucp service. No such hole existed in modern uucico processes, although there were bugs in early uucico (7th Edition vintage) which may be the reason that these rumors started. I think much of this was related to the System V (R0 and R1) getty/login environment, where you could pass in arbitrary environment variables along with the login id. If your machine was poorly configured this could be used to bypass restricted shell environments. I can see where uucico shells could get lumped in with the rsh (the shell, not the network utility) environment bugs. Early uucico's were definately buggy, however I don't recall these bugs ever being exploited to compromise security. (Well, you could do DOS attacks by getting the remote uucico to drop core, leaving a LCK..site file lying around. SCO's uucico could be made to do this just by making faces at it.) With the HoneyDanBer uucp, there were no security holes in uucico and it was completely safe to use uucp as an anonymous login service. I wouldn't be that absolute. No security holes were ever demonstrated, which isn't the same as saying they weren't there. (Did anyone ever breach ihnp4?) That said, for max security it is always useful to have each site have its own login, up to a point. Some large uucp sites used to use common logins simply because there was so little security risk (especially with HoneyDanBer variety). Unique logins provided fine-grained policy control. If site foo started doing bad things (deliberately or by accident) you want to be able to knock it down without taking out other functioning sites. HDB's ability to require a particular UUCP node to connect only with a specific login id was a very nice feature. (Or was it Taylor that introduced that? My memory is getting a wee bit fuzzy.) Certainly, anonymous uucp is more secure than anonymous ftp. For the server. The client side of the copy could definately use some work. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

I remember, back in the mists of ancient time, it was common practice to provide ``anonymous UUCP'' service along the lines of anonymous FTP in (what was at that time) ARPANET. I find it hard to imagine anyone doing so today, but OTOH I find it hard to imagine anyone using UUCP at all today, so it is obviously my imagination which has failed rather than reality. -GAWollman There are many schools in South Africa who use UUCP for their mail, since they have dial-up connections. Organisations like the Western Cape Schools' Network, and various others provide these UUCP feeds. There is a software package called Thurn (for MS-DOS) and Taxis (for Win32) which incluses the UUCP/extended software. For more informaton about taxis look @ http://www.wcape.school.za/taxis/ The UUCP solution works well in the educational environment as well as in corporate environments. YMMV.

Yes, many UNIX distributions shipped with a passwordless 'uucp' account with uucico as the shell. My comments about the 'nuucp' convention were referring to the publically visible anonymous UUCP sites. I was merely pointing out that the convention was really that both logins were in use in the public uucp community. Some sites used uucp as a login name and some sites used nuucp as a login name. It really depended on the heritage of the site and the version of uucp in use there. (I personally used both for different purposes.) Early uucico's were definately buggy, however I don't recall these bugs ever being exploited to compromise security. (Well, you could do DOS attacks by getting the remote uucico to drop core, leaving a LCK..site file lying around. SCO's uucico could be made to do this just by making faces at it.) SCO was so far behind the state of software in so many ways. They definitely were the source of many bugs due to the fact that they had that strange mix of 7th Edition (inheirited from the Microsoft 286-unix) and bad implementations of other software. Almost as bad as HP... With the HoneyDanBer uucp, there were no security holes in uucico and it was completely safe to use uucp as an anonymous login service. I wouldn't be that absolute. No security holes were ever demonstrated, which isn't the same as saying they weren't there. (Did anyone ever breach ihnp4?) As far as I know, HDB was never broken at ihnp4. HDB's ability to require a particular UUCP node to connect only with a specific login id was a very nice feature. (Or was it Taylor that introduced that? My memory is getting a wee bit fuzzy.) HDB introduced the PERMISSIONS file. Taylor was based on HDB specs because ATT would not release HDB to the community, in spite of pleas from all of H, D, and B. Of course, now it is all a moot point, and all of this is merely of historical (hysterical?) interest. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
