Re: mldonkey user ppp : security problem ?

I am trying to use mldonkey-core program on a box 4.9-RC (soon 4.9-stable) which is my adsl gateway with user PPP and PPPoE. Now it is 4.9-STABLE ... It is an Epia 5000 (533 mhz) and I have used both the nic (rl0 and vr0) on the PPP interface without any differences for the problem solving. After a while (~10minutes) mldonkey runs, it freeze my ppp connection, exausting all the mbufs on the tun0 interface, I presume, and so I am unable to have the ppp session continue. The only way to start again is to kill the process and then restart. I have not solved the problem yet, but I think this should be noted (and hopefully fixed :-) by the security officer because with the default config it installed/created it can be used to create a DOS with a normal user access. My user PPP, even if I tried to reduce the number of connections, add options NMBCLUSTERS=16384 to my kernel continues to fails after a period depending on the number of connections and the file shared you have ...

I didn't say it would be easy. :-p It looks like the 4.x version of mkisoimages.sh only supports Emulated El-Torito, But you can build the ISO images without using this script. If it were me, I'd probably do a release with the ISO images, and then remaster them with my own set of arguments to mkisofs. disc1.iso is made this way (because we have to add the package set and other stuff before producing the ISO image). and the EMUL_BOOT option in the 5.x release/Makefile isn't well documented. True. I wonder if it makes sense to tweak release/Makefile to allow both flavors of ISO images to be generated in the same run as an option so that folks who might need both (or don't know which one they might need ahead of time) don't have to try to figure out how to build the iso.1 target twice with different options.

about PAE questions under 4.9R
hi,folks: There are few confuses with me after cvsupd(10.28.2003) to 4.9R I found that in my GERNERIC/LINT file i couldn't find anything about PAE options :( and I found these 2 files modified date is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9763 4 28 2003 /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 104976 10 23 03:04 /sys/i386/conf/LINT it seems that cvsup didn't update thes 2 files??? and at the /usr/src/UPDATING file , I didn't see the 4.9 REALEASE line follow is cut of UPDATING file Updating Information for FreeBSD STABLE users This file is maintained and copyrighted by M. Warner Losh [EMAIL PROTECTED]. See end of file for further details. For commonly done items, please see the COMMON ITEMS: section later in the file.

As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists. Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to 0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of the same name. 20030923: Fix a bug in arplookup(), whereby a hostile party on a locally attached network could exhaust kernel memory, and cause a system panic, by sending a flood of spoofed ARP requests.

It probably ought to be something in LINT, but there isn't. To find out details about PAE read the pae(4) man page. files modified date is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9763 4 28 2003 /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 104976 10 23 03:04 /sys/i386/conf/LINT it seems that cvsup didn't update thes 2 files??? The files haven't changed since then, so there was no reason for cvsup to update them. and at the /usr/src/UPDATING file , I didn't see the 4.9 REALEASE line That's because nobody has added such a line to the file. Again, there probably ought to be such a line, but there isn't. -- Insert your favourite quote here.
