Digitally Signed Binaries w/ Kernel support, etc.

2008-04-02 Thread Forrest Aldrich
Does FreeBSD have support for digitally signed binary checking, similar 
to what Linux has with bsign and DigSig, where system binaries are 
signed and this signature is verified before being run in the kernel?



This would be very useful to have to further tighen-down the system.


Thanks.

Order of devices listed in "ifconfig"

2006-08-21 Thread Forrest Aldrich

I'm certain I read up on this somewhere before...

When you install a FreeBSD system (6.1 here), the devices don't always 
configure "in order".  For example, I have a few Dell PowerEdge systems, 
upon which 2 are FreeBSD


The devices would normally appear "in order" (similar to Linux) where 
they are physically attached... first, em0 and em1 would be the 
motherboard NICs, then any PCI cards.


So, I look at them physically, expecting to hook em1 into a separate 
network, but em1 is actually another port.


BOTH systems are different, too.

That's the best way I can think of to describe it.

Anyone know how to solve this problem in FreeBSD-6.x.


Thanks.

Error in "ntpd" manpage

2006-08-16 Thread Forrest Aldrich

There is an error in the NTPD manpage.

The option -L means "do NOT listen to Virtual IPs" the present manpage 
(FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE) says:


   -L  Listen to virtual IPs.


looking at the code in /usr/src/contrib/ntpd/cmd_args.c shows this:

   /*
* Definitions of things either imported from or exported to outside
*/
   extern char const *progname;
   int listen_to_virtual_ips = 1;

and further down:

   case 'L':
   listen_to_virtual_ips = 0;
   break;

I found this bug while reading external documentation about setting up 
NTPD I'm glad I read this ;-)

Kerberos5 on 6.1

2006-06-13 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I have FreeBSD-6.1 and it appears the default installation has a full 
complement of Kerberos5.  But, /usr/src/kerberos5/README states:


   This subtree is world-exportable, as it does not contain any
   cryptographic code.

   At the time of writing, it did not even contain source code, only
   Makefiles and headers.

   Please maintain this "exportable" status quo.

   Thanks!

I'm guessing the README is a bit out-of-date...

The HANDBOOK suggests more needs to be obtained from the 
security/heimdal port.


I see all the libraries in /usr/lib etc., so which is it... do we have a 
full install as a part of 6.1 or is the security/heimdal still needed to 
bring it up to speed.

dhclient wedged

2006-01-21 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I reported this problem a few OS versions back... pre-6.  I'm on 
FreeBSD-6-STABLE, and I've found the dhclient once again "wedged" in a 
mode that was eating a lot of CPU.  


The solution is to kill it, and restart.

I'm on Comcast's network, so I don't really know if their DHCP server is 
doing something that FreeBSD's stock dhclient doesn't like; however, I 
wonder if someone else has noticed this problem, etc.

It doesn't on my system, just confirmed this via a new system build.  FYI.

What does
pciconf -lv show ?

 ---Mike


There are some adapters that are not in the driver. I am the person within
Intel LAD responsible for FreeBSD, we are going to try and update PCI IDs
for new devices shortly. If you can report what Mike asked we can see what
the device is and I might have a patch I can put together.

Cheers,

Jack


Hi Jack, Mike,

device em0 not showing up at boot

2005-11-28 Thread Forrest Aldrich

I have an older PC (Compaq AP200) that I'm running FreeBSD-6.0 on.

I have an Intel Gigabit interface installed in one of the PCI slots, 
along with another dual 10/100 Intel in another.


The "em0" device does not show up at boot time, and therefore the 
firewall rules fail.


However, if I go in and manually type "ifconfig em0" it then becomes 
available and I'm able to run dhclient on it, etc. etc.


I just did a buildworld/installworld today, so the OS is fairly current.

In /etc/rc.conf I have a simple ifconfig_em0="DHCP".

I wonder if this is a known problem...

PF rule statistics (hits) on individual rules....

2005-01-22 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I'm migrating one of my systems to PF from IPFW.
In so doing and planning, I've reviewed the manpages and some online docs.
I've become dependent upon "ipfw -t" to determine hits on various spam 
rules I've implemented - some of them large lists of /24's.

I've not been able to determine that there is an equivalent in PF - 
though I imagine there must be some method to accomplish this.

I'd appreciate if someone could help point in the right direction.

Thanks.

Weird error when using VI on FreeBSD-4.x

And I don't seem to have any other problems with the system.

problems with groff

2003-09-10 Thread Forrest Aldrich
Why would this be happening, and how can I fix this - the man subsystem 
hasn't been working because of this for a while.  This is 
FreeBSD-4.9-Prerelease:

# gdb man man
GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD)
This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...(no debugging symbols 
found)...

/usr/share/tmac/man: No such file or directory.

And when I go to run a manpage, I sometimes get this error:

# man troff
Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file 
tty-char
Done.

But clearly tty-char is in:

# ls -l /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  5102 Sep 10 11:16 /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac
This can't be that difficult to fix... where is the problem?  Installing 
again from /usr/src doesn't make any different here, so I wonder if it's a 
config issue?

CVSup Delete failures

2002-12-05 Thread Forrest Aldrich
FYI, over the last few days, I've been seeing this error while doing a 
CVSUP of the code for both FreeBSD-STABLE (4.7) and Current:

 Delete src/contrib/gcc/INSTALL
Cannot delete "/usr/local/src/freebsd/5.0/src/contrib/gcc/INSTALL": 
Directory not empty

If I manually delete that directory, it gets recreated, and then this error 
pops back on the next run.  Permissions on the directories aren't the 
issue, that I can tell -- nothing really changes manually here in the src 
directories.

Kernel compile problems.... 2

2002-10-29 Thread Forrest Aldrich
In follow-up to my own post... I've done a CVSUP this evening, and have 
tried this again.  The system will compile to a certain point, then freeze 
(ie: disconnect me, I'm on ssh).  I get this message again:

Oct 29 22:15:00 m25 /usr/sbin/cron[11442]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)

uid 0: exit
ed on signal 4 (core dumped)

And the system rebooted.

The last part of the kernel compile was this time:

cc -c -O -pipe  -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs 
-Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissin
g-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -fformat-extensions

-elf  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  /usr/src/sys/netinet

Might this be a memory(RAM) issue?

I ask because the lastest FreeBSD 4.5 snapshot installation did not pick up
