If you have recently been working on upgrading your system in any way I
would check the perms on all the directories in /var and possibly other
systems as can be advised in a upgrade procedure within the handbook.

You may also attempt the following which may fix it but it comes with a
disclaimer and you should know how to fix it if it breaks.

mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist


Before doing the above, I would seriously ask myself... What did I do in
those last few days or week or so... and at least attempt to backtrack
to a conclusive result.


Good luck.

Guys,

why do you think that FS type is significant for these periodic security checks?
Why ZFS (or some other FS) must be immune to a rogue suid script or some other
permissions-based security threat?
If you are sure that your ZFS datasets can not be a source of such an attack,
then why not:
1) either disable the periodic security check altogether?
2) or mark the appropriate datasets as noexec or nosuid to ensure your belief?

Would you mind testing the attached patch?  It adds four new variables
for use in periodic.conf (defaults shown):

daily_status_security_chksetuid_fs="ufs,zfs"
daily_status_security_chksetuid_fs_ignore=""
daily_status_security_neggrpperm_fs="ufs,zfs"
daily_status_security_neggrpperm_fs_ignore=""

The _fs variables take filesystem types, as would be passed to
mount(8).  These limit the entire search based on type, so an all or
nothing approach.

The _fs_ignore variables are space separated lists of mountpoints to
skip.  So you can leave zfs in the _fs list, and then list specific
filesystems here that you do not want to be scanned.

I don't claim to be any great shell script writer, but this appears to
do the job.  Any suggestions, pointers, comments, etc welcomed.  :)

I would find this useful. But further, I have a ZFS root pool as well as
a ZFS backup pool. I don't want to exclude all of ZFS, just certain
pools, or even certain datasets.

Make filesystem type configurable for periodic(8)?

2012-05-04 Thread Freddie Cash
A few of the periodic(8) scripts in FreeBSD have constructs similar to
the following to get which filesystems to scan for various things:
MP=`mount -t ufs,zfs | awk '$0 !~ /no(suid|exec)/ { print $3 }'`

For systems with large ZFS pools, and many ZFS filesystems, these
periodic scripts can grind it to its knees, and then some.  For
backups servers where we don't really care about the
ownership/permissions of files from the FreeBSD perspective, we really
don't want the ZFS filesytems to be scanned; only the UFS ones for the
FreeBSD OS install.  To that end, I have to manually edit these files
to remove the ",zfs":
MP=`mount -t ufs | awk '$0 !~ /no(suid|exec)/ { print $3 }'`
  
Would it be worthwhile to anyone else to make the filesystem type(s)
to scan via the periodic(8) scripts a variable that's set by default
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf and that user's can override via
/etc/periodic.conf?

Or, am I the only one that's suffering here?  :)

If there's interesting in this, I can look into coming up with some
patches.  But wanted to check if anyone else would find it useful.

You might want to alter

to return a proper reject-message if no spy-record was found.

Hello Mark. A

Don't you think you guys are telling that what is SPF and how should we
use it. SPF is in system for a while, almost everyone is aware what it is.
And what it does.

funny enough, no one answered to the actual question. all this info is
