Weird behaviour
Hi, I just upgraded with cvsup a June, 4th machine to the latest current and after installworld and buidling a new kernel, the damn thing boots weirdly. After /boot/loader, the kernel seems to boot but doesn't display anything. There's activity on the SCSI bus and on the disks but I can't see anything and the machine doesn't come up anyway. I've read UPDATING, creating /boot/device.hints, merged /etc and all that.

RE: Weird behaviour
Hi, the same with me, but I cvsup'ed FreeBSD3.5-STABLE, make buildworld, make installworld, reboot than the machine boot up, seems to be running, but no services available. The problem is that the machine is a router and I did all the things remotely, so I cannot see console (I'm going there today in the evening). Other strange thing is that it obviously routes :-) but offers no services (sshd, pop3, smtp, nfs ... etc.) Marek Kozlovsky -Original Message- From: Ollivier Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 9:23 AM To: FreeBSD Current Users' list Subject: Weird behaviour Hi, I just upgraded with cvsup a June, 4th machine to the latest current and after installworld and buidling a new kernel, the damn thing boots weirdly.

Please review sh SIGSTOP fix
Bruce (or other -currenter's)
would you please have a look at the following sh fix? My brain is a
bit rusty and maybe I overlook a drawback.
When a child is receiving SIGSTOP, eval continues with the next
command. While that is correct for the interactive case (Control-Z
and you get the prompt back), it is wrong for a shellscript, which
just continues with the next command, never again waiting for the
stopped child. Noted when childs from cronjobs were stopped, just to
make more processes (by wosch).
The fix is not to return from a job wait when the wait returned for a
stopped child while in non-interactive mode. This bahaviour seems to
be what bash2 and ksh implement. I tested for correct behaviour for
finnaly killing the child with and without forgrounding it first.
When not foregrouding before killing, the shell continues with the
script, which is what the other shells do as well.
Thanks
Martin

Leaving aside the issue of whether or your efforts were a waste of time, I have some comments on the ordering of fields. Since the fields are being re-arranged anyway, I'd like to suggest that the implementation characteristics be taken into account. I'm mainly thinking of padding between fields here. A second, far less important issue is the interaction between field order and code size on the IA32. Given that most structure references are base+offset, there's an extra 3-byte overhead in accessing fields more than 127 bytes from the pointer - there's no direct speed penalty except on the 80386, but there is an indirect penalty for larger code (ie bigger cache footprint). This suggests that fields with a high static reference count should be towards the front of structures. to counter this, it has been reported that puting fields elsewher can reduce cache thrashing as most structures have the important fields at the front. It's hard to know which effect would be greater.. :-) Peter -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( OZ) World tour 2000-2001 --- X_.---._/ v To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Watch your devfs permissions in driver make_dev calls
Driver developers! As you probably know by now, Poul-Henning has enabled DEVFS in the GENERIC kernel on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. This is a strong feature and it's great to see it getting brought back to life. However! Many of consumers of make_dev() have chosen their default permissions somewhat sloppily, and the results have to be thought through a little. On my workstation, I found the following: crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 117, 0 Dec 31 1969 acd0a crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 117, 2 Dec 31 1969 acd0c .. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 20 Dec 31 1969 audio1.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010014 Dec 31 1969 audio1.1 .. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 21, 0 Dec 31 1969 bpsm0 .. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Dec 31 1969 dsp1.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010013 Dec 31 1969 dsp1.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 21 Dec 31 1969 dspW1.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010015 Dec 31 1969 dspW1.1 .. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 16 Dec 31 1969 mixer1 .. crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 78, 0 Dec 31 1969 pci .. cr--r--r-- 1 root wheel 30, 6 Dec 31 1969 sndstat .. crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 108, 255 Dec 31 1969 usb crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 108, 0 Dec 31 1969 usb0 I've done a brief grep through src/sys/dev/* and noticed a lot of other potential problems. I realize the permissions on a sound device seem a bit trivial, but consider the following scenario: Due to a bug in fingerd, a set of workstations in a mail/phone order center is compromised. The attacker uses the bug in fingerd to gain read access to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, and streams recordings of all conversations in the room to a remote site where he types in credit card numbers and personal information as he sees fit. Or maybe he exploits the same bugs to listen to administrator conversations in a NOC and pick up router passwords. Some of the permissions above are probably fine, as they're for getting status on busses, etc, but generally speaking, excessively liberal permissions can be a serious problem in /dev. Allow direct read access from CDROM media can give them access to keying material or password crypts for CDROM-booted workstations, or access to 1-time pad data stored on the CD. Or to licensed commercial software or intellectual property. I'm not familiar with the fbtab mechanism, but it may be that we should be adding support for the audiot devices (etc) to it, or making this part of an eventual devd. In any case, the default devfs permissions should be intended to be closed, and then opened as needed by privileged software, rather than open and then closed. Otherwise you introduce race conditions, and unintended consequences. Also, I realize that we have constants in kernel for the wheel and operator groups, but ideally, I'd like to see those be purely userland concepts. The kernel security model generally recognizes one uid, the superuser, as having special privileges over others. Hardcoding other user or group id's into the kernel pushes userland concepts (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, /usr/sbin/login) into the kernel. Setting additional rights for specific groups (operator, tty, etc) can be done as part of a userland boot or login process.

Topic: Local ego exploit Category: (l)users Announced: 2001-02-03 Credits:AntiOffline.com, Disgraced.org, Deficiency.org sil, deran9ed Affects:All released (l)users of FreeBSD Corrected: (l)Users should seek psychotherapy shock therapy, along with multiple doses of Thorazine chased by 2 shots of Liquid Draino for maximum effectivity Vendor status: Feelings still hurting while crying over spilled milk. FreeBSD only: YES and some of their (l)users I. Background FreeBSD (l)users became disgruntled about the original advisory concerning the bloated remarks aimed towards their chopperating sysdumb. This became an issue for some on Internet Relay Chat, and caused them to ban others' connection since their ego's had been hurt. (boo fsckin hoo) II. Problem Description Penis envy seems to be the number one cause, and we are trying to differentiate between the women who still have penises, that are crying (game) foul. For the hermies we suggest counseling, and estrogen treatment followed by a visit to fellow hermie JP @ AntiOnline.com as well as the switch hitting lesbo at http://www.happyhacker.org in an effort to ass!ess their sexualities. Egos can be strengthened by practicing humility and learning that once in a while it is a good thing to actually have a good laugh, although to those whose egos' that have been hurt we suggest that you replace the batteries in your dildos and reinsert them into your anal crevices. III. Impact None to those with a sense of humor, although those without them will grow old and become miserable rootards, capable of placing razor blades, crushed glass, and cyanide, in the bags of small children who are out for Halloween Trick or Treating. IV. Workaround Take a look at your own shortcomings before judging others. V. Solution Socialize a bit more. VI.

Re: devfs not making vn devices
Doug Barton wrote: I've been using devfs for a long time without problems. I had device vn in my kernel conf since the pre-devfs days, and today I needed to use a vn device to build picobsd. Lo and behold, I don't have any vn devices of any sort in /dev. I tried 'vnconfig -c /dev/vn0' but it also complained that the device didn't exist. I know that the goal is for vn to be phased out (at least that's my impression) but what do we do in the meantime? In the meantime? besides using mdconfig, try this: mkdir /dev2 cd /dev2 sh /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV vn0 vnconfig -c /dev2/vn0 Doug Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Watch your devfs permissions in driver make_dev calls

It is trivially easy to create an alignment fault (fatal on an alpha) with the userland pciconf tool. We must not allow this to be used by users until the kernel part is fixed. Eg: try this on an alpha: pciconf -r -l pci0:x:x 0x3 - ie: read a longword at byte offset 3 in configuration space.. kaboom!

So it updates /dev all by itself? What if I want dev nodes elsewhere in the tree, say for a jail?
