Apologies for the cross posting. I recently did a fresh install of Freebsd 8 , amd64. I then added Xorg and KDE (4.3) from the sysinstall packages system. I read about policykit, which seems really cool. I set-up PolicyKit in the KDE systems settings and things worked great (adding USB drives), until I rebooted. Now it doesn't really work. It seems to me that even though KDE saved my settings, it isn't initializing something at boot or login. Does anyone know what needs to be done? Do I need to use kdm? Add a line to rc.conf? I am pretty good at Freebsd but getting KDE4 subsystems working is still a little mysterious.

Yes. You can use lists of IPs or address-and-mask in BIND ACLs. See:

sshd logging with private key authentication
Hi,
I've been seeing quite a bit of ssh bruteforce attacks which appear to
be dictionary-based. That's fine; I have proper measures in place, such
as key-only access, bruteforce tables for pf(4), and so on.
What caught my interest is if I attempt to log in from a machine where I
do not have my key, I see nothing logged about a failed publickey
attempt. If I attempt with an invalid username, as expected, I see
'Invalid user foo from ${IP}.'
Is this to be expected? If so, I am curious why. Though I realize an
attacker may not be able to see that a user is valid or invalid, might
we want to know that a valid username is being used in an attack?
(Unless, of course, the valid username is 'john'...)
Regards,

Does the siis driver support offlining and swapping hard disks without rebooting? The Adaptec 1430SA seems to use a Marvell chipset according to some searching of the freebsd archives: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-10/0389.html http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2005-11/0441.html http://old.nabble.com/Adaptec-1405-on-FreeBSD-td26337538.html But Adaptec's own site/documentation doesn't want to confirm it for me.

If the 1430SA uses the Marvell chipset (as it appears to), then I guess the question comes down to the level of support for the Marvell 88SX6541 and 88SX7042 chipsets. Anyone know the current state of functionality for the above Marvell chipsets?

Ideally I'd like to find one that is not a HW Raid controller, as I don't need that functionality since I place to use ZFS and the HW Raid on the card just gets in the way. I know that a HighPoint RocketRAID 23x0 (2310, 2320) will work with the htprr driver, but those are HW RAID cards. I've found 'Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA' and 'Rosewill RC-218' cards, and those are the ones I'm having a hard time telling if FreeBSD supports. Searching of the e-mail archives has given me mixed results and nothing definitive to say that they work. I'm not sure what chipset the Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA uses, but the Rosewill uses the Marvell 88SX7042 chipset. I'd prefer to use Adaptec if possible as in the past they produced good SCSI boards and used to be well supported (in Linux anyway), but I'll use the Rosewill if it's well supported in FreeBSD. It's also possible Adaptec has taken a hit in support/quality since I last used one of their boards. :) I think the Marvell SATA chipset work is still a work-in-progress. It may still be supported by the ata(4) driver, but that driver typically does not support any SATA-specific features, such as NCQ. Does anyone know if the above boards are supported in FreeBSD? Anyone have any recommendations for PCI-e 4x SATA controllers with a minimum of 4 internal connectors? We use a handful of the SYBA SY-PEX40008 cards (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124027) to manage a handful of drives with ZFS. The cards have some RAID features, but you can simply plug disks in and use them without involving the RAID layer. If your motherboard supports it, you can even disable the Option ROM from showing up on boot. Overall, the performance has been pretty good. The siis(4) driver has full support for the Sil3124 chipset that these use and supports all of the bells whistles like NCQ and FIS-based switching for port multipliers. They have also been very stable. The only gripe for me is that it's only 1x PCI-E, instead of 4x, so you won't get full performance out of it once you have 4 fast drives attached.

Sendmail - One Trick Pony
I'd like to set up Sendmail to facilitate e-mail (with attached jpeg) delivery to an internet account from my wireless IP camera. That's all I want it to do, nothing more. I've been a very satisfied FreeBSD user for a few years and am reasonably comfortable with OS and software configuration, but I have literally no knowledge of mail servers or configuring Sendmail. Some people suggest using other programs such as Postfix, but I'd rather get this work with Sendmail. I did install the cyrus-sasl2 port as well as saslauthd, since I thought I might have an authentication problem. Beyond that the only other things I've done are: 1. sendmail_enable=YES in rc.conf 2. (camera's ip address) RELAY in /etc/mail/access I'm seeing my webmail account information (address and relay server) in maillog and when I use sendmail verbose, I see what looks like a successful transaction but the mail never gets delivered. So it would seem that the camera is communication fine with my FreeBSD server, but the mail isn't getting transmitted out to the internet. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Newbie Issues With Crashing 8.0 Image
I'm running a FreeBSD 8.0 image in VirtualBox 3.2.4. I use this image as a sandbox environment for testing web apps. I haven't used this image in a couple of months, and during that time, I have updated VirtualBox multiple times. Now, when I start my FreeBSD image, the FreeBSD image crashes within 15 minutes. I see a *bunch* of error messages written to the console, but I'm having issues capturing them. To begin troubleshooting this issue, I would like to see the error messages that are being thrown, but I'm having trouble finding them. I looked in the /var/log directory, but I didn't see any error messages. I checked the following files: * debug.log * dmesg.today * lastlog * messages * pf.today None of these files contain any error messages at all. Where can I go next to troubleshoot this issue?

A healthy fear, indeed. For one thing, I'd certainly rather have someone do rm /boot/kernel.old/*.ko than rm -r /boot/kernel.old. Being even more selective is an obvious extension... Why not move the old useless kernel to another drive. Sure if the system kernel fails and you need the old one, there is a little bit more work, but nothing that I can't see be solved by: 1. booting from a livecd 2. mount the /boot and /theotherpartition 3. move the kernel back and move the faulty one away 4. reboot That saves you from deleting the entire computer/world/Internet and save the old kernel as well.

The Adaptec 1430SA seems to use a Marvell chipset according to some searching of the freebsd archives: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-10/0389.html http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2005-11/0441.html http://old.nabble.com/Adaptec-1405-on-FreeBSD-td26337538.html But Adaptec's own site/documentation doesn't want to confirm it for me. The best I've come up with is: http://ask.adaptec.com/scripts/adaptec_tic.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=12177p_created=1098385883p_sid=1tiW_K3kp_accessibility=0p_redirect=p_lva=438p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQ6MSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MjE5LDIxOSZwX3Byb2RzPTQ1JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0xLjQ1JnBfY3Y9JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9YW5zd2Vycy5zZWFyY2hfbmwmcF9wYWdlPTE*p_li=p_topview=1 I've found a commit that mentions support for the 1430SA: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-8/2009-November/000565.html But I'm not sure what the state of the support is or how stable it is with that driver (looks to be ata?) If the 1430SA uses the Marvell chipset (as it appears to), then I guess the question comes down to the level of support for the Marvell 88SX6541 and 88SX7042 chipsets. Anyone know the current state of functionality for the above Marvell chipsets?

Ideally I'd like to find one that is not a HW Raid controller, as I don't need that functionality since I place to use ZFS and the HW Raid on the card just gets in the way. I know that a HighPoint RocketRAID 23x0 (2310, 2320) will work with the htprr driver, but those are HW RAID cards. I've found 'Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA' and 'Rosewill RC-218' cards, and those are the ones I'm having a hard time telling if FreeBSD supports. Searching of the e-mail archives has given me mixed results and nothing definitive to say that they work. I'm not sure what chipset the Adaptec 2241000-R 1430SA uses, but the Rosewill uses the Marvell 88SX7042 chipset. I'd prefer to use Adaptec if possible as in the past they produced good SCSI boards and used to be well supported (in Linux anyway), but I'll use the Rosewill if it's well supported in FreeBSD. It's also possible Adaptec has taken a hit in support/quality since I last used one of their boards. :) I think the Marvell SATA chipset work is still a work-in-progress. It may still be supported by the ata(4) driver, but that driver typically does not support any SATA-specific features, such as NCQ. Does anyone know if the above boards are supported in FreeBSD? Anyone have any recommendations for PCI-e 4x SATA controllers with a minimum of 4 internal connectors? We use a handful of the SYBA SY-PEX40008 cards (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124027) to manage a handful of drives with ZFS. The cards have some RAID features, but you can simply plug disks in and use them without involving the RAID layer. If your motherboard supports it, you can even disable the Option ROM from showing up on boot. Overall, the performance has been pretty good. The siis(4) driver has full support for the Sil3124 chipset that these use and supports all of the bells whistles like NCQ and FIS-based switching for port multipliers. They have also been very stable. The only gripe for me is that it's only 1x PCI-E, instead of 4x, so you won't get full performance out of it once you have 4 fast drives attached.

Re: /boot is full after running make installkernel on FreeBSD 8.0
Henrik Hudson writes: Or just make one large partition. Not on a server, but I don't see much reason for using multiple partitions on a laptop. Multiple partitions still isn't a bad idea if you ever have to fsck and even on a desktop / laptop I usually mount /tmp as noexec. (note: installworld requires exec in /tmp, so you will have to remount /tmp if you use that). Also, it's easier to recover if you can boot single user mode and run a quick fsck on / when it's small. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's easier. 1) The preferred backup method uses dump. 2) dump works on entire partitions. 2a) It makes little sense to back up 500 gbytes when all you need to preserve is 5 gbytes. 3) If you regularly need to dump more than a single partition, quite a few people have scripts they will probably be willing to share.

There's not a problem with mixing them per se - an installed package is the same whether it created from a port or a package file. Problems arise because the release packages where built against a snapshot of the ports tree made well before the release, so the dependencies can be very different from the current tree.
