Re: SE Linux

2006-05-14 Thread Joseph Koshy

[Removing -stable from the CC list].


I will jump straight to the question. Is there something
like SE Linux in FreeBSD which enforces Mandatory Access
Control (MAC) on processes ?


Please see the Mandatory Access Control chapter of the
FreeBSD Handbook.

Re: dump causing system idle

k freebsd 53 idles on

k WARNING: / was not properly dismounted

Does /sbin/init exist?  Does it match the /sbin/init on a
'good' partition?

Re: How to check if a processor in the machine is dead

2005-11-21 Thread Joseph Koshy
[FreeBSD hackers trimmed from the CC list]

 I am having problem with my dell 2850 server. It has freebsd
 5.4 installed.  Today the machine is flashing amber light on
 the face plate.On checking I found that to be PROC Machine
 Chk which means cpu has failed.

The machine's BIOS would have utilities to test hardware.  You
could check the state of the system with those.

Re: Inetd not starting

2005-09-04 Thread Joseph Koshy
 Can anyone give me a clude to look for?

1) Does it start if you invoke it using

 # sh -x /etc/rc.d/inetd start

2) What does `file /usr/sbin/inetd` show?

Re: Loading kld's from other archs/versions

2005-08-30 Thread Joseph Koshy
 By any chance, can I somehow use kernel modules compiled for 5.4/i386,
 5.4/amd64 or 6.0/i386 on 6.0/amd64? I don't have the source code, but
 I need it to work very much.

You cannot use a kernel module compiled for one architecture with a
kernel running on another.

Even on a given architecture, binary kernel modules are very likely to be
incompatible between major releases.

Re: How to find out which ports/dependencies were installed when installing a port?

2005-08-27 Thread Joseph Koshy
 Later down the road I deinstall A and decide I'd like to get rid of the
 ports/dependencies that A needed installed with it.  How would I go
 about finding B and C just by knowing A's name?  There has to be
 an easy answer, but I can't figure it out.

You might want to look at /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_cutleaves.
