In the past I have typically installed a linux variant in my home systems, but recently decided to give FreeBSD a try since I could not find a distribution that fit my needs. I believe that fbsd is a good platform, but have found some areas that I'd like to point out. They are both rooted in the idea of a secure file transfer and file validation. Why isn't checksum information provided for packages? These are found in this directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/ There are checksums for the ISO images. For example: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.2 has the checksums. I can't seem to find any documentation anywhere. You are looking for documentation for FreeBSD? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ is a good place to start. I have only been using FreeBSD for a few months, so I ordered the book Absolute FreeBSD and I got it over the weekend. It has a lot of information useful to new users. If you don't know if you want to spend the money, you might find the first edition in your local library. The second edition was released recently. These are for all of the .tbz packages. The information is provided for every file except for these. Also, instead of the ftp protocol, why don't you offer download options like https? I am sure that many people are interested in such an option. I don't know the answer to that question. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make sure the ISP is not blocking port 22. If they block it, you will need to change the SSH port in sshd_config and then set the router to forward the port to the server's internal IP address.

It works in Linux, drives me nuts in FreeBSD... They work perfectly fine here. How is it you expect those keys to behave? Define working correctly. When in insert mode, and pagedown is pressed, the letter the cursor is over is capitalized, and the editor is removed from insert mode, as an example. PageUp capitalizes the letter next to it, and again removes me from insert mode. Home randomly capitalizes letters and shifts the cursor to the next letter. Insert decapitalizes the letter the cursor is over. Weird behavior like this... I was mistaken in that this is in vim-- this is in the natural version of vi that ships with the base OS. This is happening from PuTTY in default setting mode on a Windows box-- my MacBook is relatively better behaved. If you also run Linux, you can copy your ~/.vimrc or the systemwide one to your FreeBSD as ~/.vimrc and that should fix the problem. Also export your editor as vim in your ~/.bashrc. In addition, I make an alias so that when I use 'vi' as a command, I get 'vim' and not what FreeBSD uses as vi by default.

Looks like I've understood the interaction between SSH and PAM wrong here, so would appreciate some enlightenment. According to my understanding of the SSH protocol, you're continually asked because an authentication failure is not a fatal error. When authenticating an SSH session, a list of mutually supported methods is compiled (public-key, challenge-response, S/Key, keyboard-interactive, plaintext) and the client cycles through the list based on what it thinks is most likely to work. It's perfectly acceptable for a client to attempt password authentication before public-key, or even interleave them. All the server can do is say yay or nay to an attempt with a restricted method, because it cannot know if the next attempt may utilize an allowed method. After the requisite three or five failed attempts (depending on the server config), it may send a general failure code (too many failed attempts) and disconnect the client at it's discretion. Here's another oddity I encountered today. If PermitRootLogin is set to forced-commands-only, my understanding is the SSHD will permit root logins if a command to be executed is given. But that doesn't seem to be the case in practice! I have keys setup for root to login, but instead of letting me in with those keys, SSHD ignores them, passes me to PAM for password prompting (three times) and the denies me out! Very strange. I even setup a Match User clause for root and specified a command to run. Still, SSHD refuses to let me in with/ without key and for a specific command. PermitRootLogin without-password won't allow what you want to do? To use it, you have to set up a passphrase (public key). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And of course, since it was 7.0, you can expect things to be broken once in a while. It is what most of the world would call beta code. The quick fix is to put the required line in either /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf. Normally you would never edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf, but that line should have been in it.

I am running FreeBSD 7 I noticed before when you posted your ifconfig with missing localhost IPv4 address. You shouldn't have had to add it to rc.conf in the first place, as you should find this line existing in /etc/defaults/rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 # default loopback device configuration. Check that nothing has messed with /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and also that you have no later ifconfig_lo0 entry in rc.conf. The last one found there is the one that applies, later entries overriding earlier ones. Apart from that, I can't imagine what might be deleting your default localhost configuration, unless you're using rc.local? Otherwise I'd be searching any active scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for any oddnesses that may hae been installed by some port or other? Cheers, Ian I did find it in /etc/default/rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 # default loopback device configuration. I found the problem. lo0 was not listed in network_interfaces in rc.conf Adding it fixed the problem. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
