Re: gbde blackening feature - how can on disk keys be destroyed thoroughly?

Also, I know practically nothing of how I could to best get FreeBSD to physically write to disk (configurability of hardware cache etc permitting). On a modern disk there is no sequence of writes that will guarantee you that your data is iretriveable lost. Even if you rewrite a thousand times, you cannot guard yourself against the sector being replaced by a bad block spare after the first write. If your threat-analysis indicates this is a serious threat for you, you should arrange for simple physical destruction of your disk to be available. Most modern disks have one or more holes in the metal only covered by a metalic sticker.

Re: portindex/portindexdb

Better way to get interface assigned to default route?
Hi all,
I just now replaced my 350MHz PII home server back to the old 133MHz PI to
see if my crashing problems went away. I have noticed that dhclient-script
does a `netstat -rn | grep ^default | awk {'print $6'}` to get the
interface that the default route is on, in my case my dsl modem is on fxp1.
Since this is a slow machine however, this takes a very long time for it to
do that command as I seem to have quite alot of...routing entries I guess
they are?
So, simple question really... does anyone else know a better way this can
be done, or is this the only way? If it's the only way i'll just change
dhclient-script so it's fixed as fxp1 and doesn't do the whole netstat -rn
thing to try and get that...
Thanks.

I will do another post asking if anyone else has gotten this burner to work with FreeBSD.

The miniinst.iso is a disc1 minus several pre-compiled packages, such as X etc. So if you already have the full disc1, you do not need the miniinst. Also on disc3/4 are only precompiled packages, when you have a good internet connection, use of the ports tree is way simpler IMHO.

Re: portindex/portindexdb
Hello Mattthew, This is not a moot point. I've been struggling with this problem since this morning. The problem would just not go away. After I cvsup the ports, I use make index and then portversion -rRvc. I also run script whenever I cvsup, portupgrade, or install a new port. On 090104 I cvsup'd ports and successfully portupgraded the ports (except a couple of php5 extentions and qcad, no big deal, I'll wait a while). On 090204 I again cvsup'd ports and successfully portupgraded the ports (exceptions previously noted). Today, I cvsup'd the ports, ran make index, and when I ran portupgrade -rRcv, it went into a loop, on ttyv0 I was getting a message that ruby18 uid 0: exited on signal 6 (coredumped). That ruby18.core file is over 10mb, would it be of use to anyone? After several different cvsup's, and other ways to generate INDEX-5, all of which worked by the way, but all the ways of checking for ports needing updating caused ruby18 to fail. The one I found was, on 090104 I did a portupgrade of portmanager. I also had portsman installed (probablu inconsequential). I did a make deinstall of portmanager and portsman. After that portversion -rRvc worked, ruby18 was no longer seg faulting. I suspect the problem had something to do with the upgrade of portmanger. It solved my problem anyway. I am not investigating any further. I have other things that I'm trying to accomplish. However, I someone wants the ruby18.core file, I e-mail it. It is over 10mb and a lot of e-mail programs won't take an atachment that big. Don Donald J.

Obviously this couldn't happen now with the code-freeze for 5.3, but for 5.4? The question would seem to be moot now. As of this morning portsdb is able to build an INDEX.db once again. Although I cannot see exactly what was committed in order to make that work. Since both portindex and protupgrade are 3rd party tools, and neither are likely to be committed either to the base system or to become part of the official ports infrastructure[1], it's entirely up to you which one you choose.

If you are able to burn the CD (as root), then you might want to take a look at sysutils/k3b/pkg-message in the ports tree.

Mouse pointer invisible in Gnome2
I installed 4.10 with XF86 4.3 and Gnome2 on my IBM Thinkpad 600X laptop, which has a Neomagic video card. I used ncurses to configure /etc/X11/XF86Config. Everything went fine except when I brought up Gnome the mouse pointer was nowhere to be seen. The mouse was working because when I moved it icons it evidently passed across would light up. The mouse pointer was invisible. On the same machine 5.2.1 freezes up when I xinit. Control-Alt-Backspace, Alt-F2 and all other commands known to me do nothing. To close it I had to unplug the power cable and remove the battery, not a preferred method to shut down. Red Hat 9 installs and runs perfectly (apart from the Lucent modem), and Gnome has a mouse pointer! An OS from Redmond which will remain Gnomeless installs and runs perfectly. I really like 4.10.

questions about gcc options
Hello, I decided to repost this with a less ambiguous subject. I have a few questions concerning optimization. I just setup 5.2.1p9 on an athlon-xp box. I used -fmemoize-lookups and -fsave-memoized options but I got this when doing a make buildworld: cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option -fmemoize-lookups cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option -fsave-memoized *** Error code 1 I checked the gcc 3.3.3 manual for info (because they worked under 3.2.2) and couldn't find any mention of them. Googling took me to numerous sites that had the same gcc manpage (unknown version) that said: -fmemoize-lookups -fsave-memoized Use heuristics to compile faster. These heuristics are not enabled by default, since they are only effective for certain input files. Other input files compile more slowly. The gcc-1750 support site goes even further and adds: The code that implements these flags has rotted; you should probably avoid using them. OK, that's fine. Does that mean beginning with versions of gcc 3.2.2 (at least) these options are deprecated? I don't find anything about this in UPDATING, and they still appear in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf Also, concerning the -mmmx, -m3dnow, and -msse options, I read somewhere (bsdforum.org?) that cputype?=athlon-xp implies those three options, but I couldn't find a mention of it in the gcc 3.3.3 manual (doesn't mean it's not there). Is this true, or should they be explicit? Finally, what optimizations are people using on their production 5.2.1 boxen? -mfpmath=sse looks interesting, but is it safe? The manual says: The resulting code should be considerably faster in the majority of cases and avoid the numerical instability problems of 387 code, but may break some existing code that expects temporaries to be 80bit. This is the default choice for the x86-64 compiler. Not being a c/c++ person, I appreciate any help in the matter. Regards, Stheg __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You can't run it on the same wire your phone service and use filters to allow their simultaneous use. But installing it yourself is very easy. All you need is a Cat3 (standard telco) cable run from the NID (network interface device - where the phone lines come in the house) to where ever you want the ISDN service. The telco hooks the wires (single pair) together at the NID, tells you which colors to use at the receptacle, and you just saved yourself US$100-$300. HTH, Stheg __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: ISDN Jack Installation
You don't want ISDN. A single ISDN line is only 64K and if you don't use a separate line for the ISDN, you interrupt your normal phone service. To get faster ISDN, you have to put in two lines at X$ per month. If you later switch to DSL and want to use your ISDN line(s) for that, you're still paying for an extra line (in my case I was paying for two ISDN lines). If you use DSL, you can use your regular phone line, have a full time connection and not disrupt your regular telephone, requires filters to be plugged in on all the regular phone jacks in use. Skip the ISDN and go straight for DSL. The other option is cable. Do not use satelite, you still have to use the phone line (read that as install another line or interrupt what you have) for uploading. Don't do it. Donald J.

Re: gbde blackening feature - how can on disk keys be destroyed thoroughly?
Dear Poul-Henning, Thank you very much for your comments! From what I can see so far, they are simply overwritten with zeros - is that right? If so, the blackening feature would be much weakend, as one can read up to 20 layers of data even under random data (and more under zeros). I would be most grateful for comments, or suggestions of where/how one could extend the code to do a secure wipe of the key areas. Also, I know practically nothing of how I could to best get FreeBSD to physically write to disk (configurability of hardware cache etc permitting). On a modern disk there is no sequence of writes that will guarantee you that your data is iretriveable lost. Even if you rewrite a thousand times, you cannot guard yourself against the sector being replaced by a bad block spare after the first write. Good point. In the rare chance event that this happens, it would indeed be bad news as an attacker would then only have to scan the bad blocks for possible copies of the key. If your threat-analysis indicates this is a serious threat for you, you should arrange for simple physical destruction of your disk to be available. Most modern disks have one or more holes in the metal only covered by a metalic sticker. Pouring sulfuric acid through those openings is a good start. Hmm... to me, the main benefit of the blackening feature would seem to be the possibility of compliance with a court directive without disclosing confidential data. With multiple key holders, any particular person can maintain that they have done all they could to comply. Not only is the optics of having your disks are found in vats of sulfuric acid rather bad, it's also more unlikely that a moment of opportunity arises. A simple improvement on the present situation would already be if the keys were not overwritten with zeros but with random bits. I don't know how difficult it would be to attempt to physically write random bits multiple times but it would much strengthen the feature apart from the rare cases when the sectors of the masterkey have been remapped into bad blocks. As rightly pointed out in the manpages, the better the encryption gets, the more likely are attacks via other routes. Reading a few layers of the current masterkey location + all bad blocks with an MFM should cost no more than a few thousand $. What do you think? Is the required effort disproportional to the intended value of the blackening feature? With many thanks again for your help and best regards, David.

interface to be updated.
| And to be more exact:
|
| in /etc/rc.conf i have
| ifconfig_em0=DHCP which starts ``dhclient em0'' for me... i never used
| dhclient-script, and didn't read it carefully yet to understand it.
|
Yeah, I have ifconfig_fxp1=DHCP :-) dhclient uses dhclient-script to do
all of it's work, I guess you could call dhclient a wrapper of sorts?
Like I said, I had to make some changes to this script, although I have
never execute it directly, to stop FreeBSD from locking up on an IP address
change and to actually even get it to be able to communicate with my modem
(ADSLNation X-Modem CE), something along the lines of deleting the default
route straight after it had added it, and then readding it; don't ask me
why this solved the problem but it did! If anyone is interested in that I
can mail the changes I made and describe my setup or something. Infact, to
back that up further here's a snippet from the dhclient-script man page :-D
-
dhclient-script(8)
dhclient-script(8)
NAME
dhclient-script - DHCP client network configuration script
DESCRIPTION
The DHCP client network configuration script is invoked from time
to
time by dhclient(8).
-
I guess you probably just don't notice because you have a fast machine and
not many routing table entries?
| Perhaps this explains a bit...
|
| or i just dont get the question yet { have a long weekend, tired etc ;) }
:-) No worries, I am very grateful for your reply!

File system replication between servers
Does anyone know of any software that will run on FreeBSD that would allow you to keep two servers in sync? All writes to /dir1 on server1 would go to /dir1 on server2, and all writes to /dir2 on server2 would go to /dir2 on server1? I've thought about rsync, but am trying to get it as close to real time as I can, and on large file systems, rsync would just get too far behind, too quickly ... I've started to look at Coda6, but so far what I'm reading through the docs makes it sound like it may not be suitable ... What I'm looking for is a hot failover solution using FreeBSD ... if server1 goes down, server2 can start up and continue working ... when server1 comes back up again, changes to server2 could be re-sync'd back to server1, and server1 could once more resume its duties ...

How about a shared SCSI drive, filesystems only mounted on the master.
When the master fails, the slave fscks the filesystems, mounts them,
and becomes the master. Tried and true. You could even use background
fsck and get immediate failover.
You could even do it without shared storage if you use geom_gate and
geom_{mirror,vinum,ccd} to keep two identical disks on each machine in
sync. When the master crashes and comes back up as a slave, the mirror
code will update its disks.

The geom layer is not very well-documented, but geom_gate's manpages

You mean, weather them through the times that all their Internet subscribers get sick of their crap and pull their Internet service? Cable companies have little interest in Internet because they make the bulk of their money off selling tv content, payperview, and porno channels. The Internet connectivity is just a way they can get a cable line into your house and get your name so they can pitch their higher margin tv programming to you. Cable companies are monopolists who have the tv content regulated by local governments, as it should be. But the Internet content, although it's a monopoly too, they have managed to wiggle out of getting regulated. As a regulated monopoly a cable company can never lose money. But, just because they cannot lose money doesen't mean they are rolling their profits back into infrastructure investment in their networks. There is no guarentee that any part of this stable steady income is ever going to fund any Internet infrastructure investment in a cable company. There might be if Internet under cable was regulated, but it's not. -- The odds on cable TV suddenly not being available at your location in anything but truly rural or even remote areas is nil. Same is true of DSL. DSL? Fah. You're lucky if the company you call today for a price quote is still around in 12 months. Of course, there are some drawbacks to Cable such as you don't generally get a static IP number. DSL providers by contrast usually have them available, save the garbage grade ilec isp's. Also, look at the acceptable use for cable, servers of any kind are prohibited. Just because you were burned several years ago doesen't mean the DSL market is still the same. Northpoint and Rhythms both went bankrupt, but Covad is still running, and ILEC dsl is perking along fine. Sure there are some smaller ISP's who were provisioning over ilec DSL who gave it up after they couldn't make money on it. But they are all out of the market now, and the people left in the DSL market are there for the long haul. And sure, there's some areas that DSL cannot reach, and that cable can. I also know of areas that cable cannot reach that DSL can. In most major markets you can count on at least two regional ISP's who are provisioning over ILEC dsl, you can count on MSN and maybe one other national ISP also provisioning over ILEC dsl, and the ilecs of course themselves have their own ISPs that provision over ilec dsl, and to top it off you can also count on att/earthlink/mindspring provisioning over covad DSL. And today, covad is radsl over voice, they don't require a separate phone line anymore. By contrast with the cable companies you can count on 1 monopoly ISP and if you don't like the way they run their network, you can go to hell.
