Re: Can a home LAN server use a jail as a router?

What you seem to need is to run the host as a router, and create two or three more jails on top of that router kernel. The default should be a router and the secondary functions should be the jail. I think you just need to read a bit more on how jails are used on the BSD platform and it will be clear to you. I wanted to create an environment where if one webserver got compromised, the other webserver would be unaffected. This would be the true use of jails in your environment. You want to isolate web services such as Apache installs into jails so if they get compromised then you don't have to worry about the rest of the system becoming completely compromised. So I would also like to make a jail to be a samba server. I believe that you can install samba inside a jailed environment as well, however, I have never done this, so I am not familiar with how it will be done, however, I have a Bind-9 environment where the external internet interface serves the internet my public information, and there is a second jail which hosts dns for the internal segment. So I can see how Samba can be installed in a jail, and it would make appropriate sense to do so. I hope this helps you in your investigation(s). -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M. G.

Re: Installer program for FreeBSD-9.0?
On Mon, 6 Dec 2010 10:31:26 +, Bruce Cran br...@cran.org.uk wrote: There's a plan to replace sysinstall with pc-sysinstall, the PCBSD installer in 9.0. Currently the backend has been committed and people are working on a web interface frontend to allow people to do installations via a web browser. Does this imply that the installation requires running X plus a web browser, or a hard to use text mode web browser? Or is this intended to be used for remote installation only? Will the installer therefore be unusable for specific settings (headless, serial, text)? Meanwhile I'm hoping to find some time to improve sysinstall now that we don't support installation from floppies: I know there are some big improvements that can be made while not taking on the work of a complete rewrite. I agree that sysinstall could benefit from some improvements, especially the incorporation of the new partitioning methods, involving labels, ufsids, GEOM, GPT and PMBR, keeping the traditional methods MBR, fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs available for those systems that the user INTENDEDLY wants to install with those methods (e. g. older hardware). Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany I guess FreeBSD installation from floppies is no longer supported because of the difficulty of fitting the kernel? Otherwise, it would be theoretically possible to install FreeBSD from a lot of floppies, but finding sufficient errorfree floppies would be practically impossible. I remember I had a substantial percentage of bad floppies when I needed five to install DR-DOS in 1999. Floppies are now eleven years more advanced into deterioration. While installation and update via web browser makes sense as an option, it must not be the only option. What if the user starts with a blank hard drive, nothing installed? Then one needs to be able to install from CD, DVD or USB drive. I remember in the late 1990s updating OS/2 Warp 4 with a Service Pak via web browser (Web Explorer), so the idea isn't new. Yes, there needs to be support for installing into the new partitioning methods. Remember that thread I started about FreeBSD support for hard drive 2 TB? Western Digital has come out with up to 3 TB Caviar Green drive. Somebody might want to install FreeBSD and run a software repository on such a hard drive.

The zpool history command was a great help as well. a) Created a FreeBSD 9.0 system and applied a ZFS v28 patch for a few features that looked useful for my problem. i) Ability to mount zpool in readonly ii) Ability to mount zpool with -N (do not mount datasets) iii) Ability to mount zpool with -T to specify a particular transaction set. In the end I didn't need this feature. b) Took an image of one of the mirror partitions housing the zpool using dd and transferred that to a file on a stand UFS2 file system. This was so I could work on a copy and transfer the data on an external hard disk to the FreeBSD 9.0 virtual machine. c) Used mdconfig to mount the file image on the FreeBSD 9.0 system. d) I was able to use zpool import -o readonly=on -N poolname The readonly option in particular seemed to stop the last transaction continually attempting to run in an endless loop. e) I could then see the datasets.

USB Stack/# of bytes to read?
All, I have a couple of quick questions about the USB stack in 8.x that I'm hoping someone with a bit more experience than I can answer. I am currently working on a device driver for a Velleman K8055 board. Basically, it does digital and analog I/O under the control of a PC via USB. I've got the basic driver working fine, and I'm moving data back and forth without issue. What I'd like to be able to do, however, is poll the driver to see how much data is sitting in the input buffer, or at least see how many packet/buffers are waiting. Looking through the control structures, it appears that something like sc-fifo.fp[USB_FIFO_TX]-used_q.ifq_len would be the right field, but it never appears to be set anywhere (and is always 0). Using something like USB_IF_POLL() on the used_q suggests there is something to write, but not how much. On a similar line of thinking, how about flushing the queue entirely? Should I call usb_fifo_reset() directly? Or should I just reimplement the logic? -B ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

They never could prove that but I leave them since the entire server was hacked, not information stolen but ONLY that$ all web pages (.html, .php) pages where changed, all under different domains and account jailed (?) using CPANEL. Anyway. I am not sure how sensible is OSCCOmmerce to that since I know it is very popular but I would like to test something else. I know there are tons of options but would like to hear your comments about what are you using and what do you recommend me to try that have proved that runs fine under Freebsd. The idea is to have 4 domains running the same software (could be multiple instances) under different DOMAINS: If possible that would be multilangua or at least that support English and Spanish, free and it does not matter if uses PHP or something else. SOmething important is that my test machine is an old one running Freebsd 7.3, 2 processors 386 with 1 GB of RAM, once I have running all without problems will move to a newer one that will run Freebsd 8.1.

I would disagree and argue that vulnerabilities due to bad coding often reflect flaws in the language being used. For example, a vast range of buffer overflows, null pointer dereference issues, etc are entirely a consequence of C-based languages which permit arbitrary pointer arithmetic. Tools like valgrind and Purify were later created to help add runtime array and memory buffer bounds-checking to C/C++ which other languages (Java, Python, etc) already provide by raising an index out of range exception or similar.

I think so, too. My interest is to be able to boot a system that does not boot from CD or via LAN. In this case, starting (!) the installation from floppy can work. An example from my own practical use: I wanted to install FreeBSD 4 on a laptop that didn't have network or CD-ROM. I chose to boot from floppy, and then started the install process via parallel cable (printer port) from a second system, already running FreeBSD and exporting the install CD via plip. While installation and update via web browser makes sense as an option, it must not be the only option. Please don't get me wrong: I see lots of potential in providing a web-based install. The downside, however, is that interaction WITH this frontend is done through the browser that is used, and therefore suffers from the disabilites of the browser. For example, lynx is a text mode browser that works well even via serial console - as soon as you KNOW how to interact with that browser! Keep in mind that the cursor keys often don't do what the novice user might assume they will do! So the accessibility of the browser has impact on how the installation process is performed. What if the user starts with a blank hard drive, nothing installed? Then one needs to be able to install from CD, DVD or USB drive. Exactly that is the usual starting point for a FreeBSD installation. :-) It's also worth mentioning that FreeBSD is considered to be an advanced OS because of the fact that it can turn old-fashioned or even outdated computers into usable things (routers, servers, workstations). This goal can only be met with providing maximum compatibility: This doesn't only include support for new partitioning methods, but also for old booting practices. Artificially rising a barrier by saying You need a graphics card, a mouse and 1 GB RAM to install this is not an option.

I'll interpret that as saying a large percentage of the PHP apps vying for your attention are crap, but buyer beware. Just be careful, have a healthy level of scepticism, and keep your eyes open. I'm amazed at the ease with which a good looking web app can be created, and with complete and total disregard for the most basic software development best practices. However, that doesn't mean all apps are crap, just like there are still guys gals out there worth tying your life to. In my experience (which is probably more than some, but certainly not much compared to some others), MediaWiki, MantisBT, Moodle, and Drupal are mature, reliable and generally secure PHP-based applications. They have good documentation, active communities, and are honest and prompt with security advisories (and also pretty prompt with security updates). I'm sure there must be others (e.g., I don't know anything about Facebook other than it's PHP-based, but I'm sure we'd hear about it being hacked on a regular basis if it was).

Re: usb devices
Does usbconf show that it was indeed registered?

Page faults and threads
Hi, Can anyone tell me: when a thread hits a page fault in a multithread program on FreeBSD, is the entire program stopped waiting for the page to be loaded/made ready or just the one thread? Has this changed in recent versions with the changes to the scheduler? And, if you know, do other Open-Source OS's do the same thing, or are they all different?
