Re: SSH from host to jail

I'm trying to set up some jails in a 5.1R system.  I've pretty much
copied a setup that was working fine in 4.8; but on 5.1 I can't seem
to SSH from the host system into one of its jails.  It acts like the
packets just aren't getting through.
I would really appreciate it if somebody would send me rc.conf fragments
that are known to work for setting up a jail's IP alias and routing on
5.1.


sure, but this isn't going to fix your problem:

ifconfig_wi0=inet 192.168.0.140 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_wi0_alias0=inet 192.168.0.131 netmask 255.255.255.255
jail_enable=YES
jail_list=shiba
jail_shiba_hostname=shiba
jail_shiba_ip=192.168.0.131
jail_shiba_rootdir=/usr/prison/192_168_0_130/
jail_shiba_exec=/bin/sh /etc/rc


To fix your problem you should try to mount a devfs for the jail so the 
tty device is available for sshd to open when you login. I simply added 
one line to my /etc/rc.d/jail script to test for the dev mount-point 
in jail. Like so:

[ -d ${jail_rootdir}/dev ]  mount -t devfs ${jail_rootdir}\dev



I suppose we could avoid this little fau pax in the future by adding a 
new jail specific rc.conf var like this example:

jail_shiba_devfs=/usr/prison/192_168_0_130/dev

It could be easy to have it simply exist, or be non-null, to imply a 
desire for devfs, and further checked for the existence of the 
mount-point as I wrote above.

I could have a pr+patch made in 5 minutes if anybody thinks this is not 
a bad idea?

You are probably missing:

	# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /mnt/test.file -s 512M -u 1


What you have found has nothing to do with GBDE, I think it is the
usual vnode backed md(4) deadlock.


I wrote a howto that is somewhat similare to the desired steps in case 
anybody is interested in another way:

I've used gbde extensivly and have doubts about any issues. However, 
maybe some sanity checks in gbde would catch the problem?

A Packaging system is a very important piece of any distribution.  Our
goal will be to create a packaging system that, via VFS 'environments',
causes any particular package to see only the dependancies that it
depends on, and the proper version of said dependancies as well.  Multiple
versions of third party apps that normally conflict with each other could
be installed simultaniously.  The packaging-system-controlled VFS
environment would also hide everything a package does not depend on,
like other libraries in the system, in order to guarentee that the
dependancies listed in the packaging system are in fact what the
application depends on.  There's no point in having a packaging system
that can't detect broken and incorrect dependancies or we wind up with
the same mess that we have with ports.


Wouldn't it be possible to achive the same result without the VFS with 
well organized lib subdirs? like usr/lib/xyzlib1.2/ and 
usr/lib/xyzlib1.3/ which would maintain the install for any given 
version of a lib? In other words, instead of just dumping all the libs 
into the one place, you simply place them into sub folders instead and 
then link them as needed? Granted this would cause havoc for things like 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I never did like the way we dump things in the lib 
dir's, its messy. The VFS idea is interesting, but it like cleaning the 
mess by sending parts of the big mess into another dimention, making it 
a trans-dimentional mess (technically a larger mess). This throws away 
the KISS principle.


To make this work the VFS environment would have to be able to run as
a userland process.  Otherwise we would never be able to throw in the
type of flexibility and sophistication required to make it do what we
want it to do, and the kernel interfacing would have to be quite robust.
I want to make these environments so ubiquitous that they are simply
taken for granted.  Begin userland VFSs with the capability of
overlaying the entire filesystem space, these environments would be
extremely powerful.
I suspect this ability would usefull for other things too, possibly for 
security lock-downs on shell users env's without chrooting them as an 
example.

-Jon

It might be possible to build this new packaging system on top of the
existing ports infrastructure.  It will be several months (possibly
6-12 months) before the kernelland is sufficienctly progressed to be
able to imlpement the userland VFS concept so we have a lot of time to
think about how to do it.

Re: Bug filing broken?

2003-07-13 Thread Jon Disnard
You might try to investigate the issue first.
Try http://www.dnsreport.com;, and see if any red flags appear in the 
MX record section, or in another area that might affect mail. Its a 
common technique to reject mail from domains that do not follow the RFC 
specs.

Also, you might try to send word about this to the postmaster of 
freebsd.org.

Best,

Presumably this means that the mailer is trying to reverse lookup my 
hostname, and it doesn't exist.  That's true, as I have been experimenting 
with this stuff behind my firewall on my private net.

Fine.  I'll file a bug via the web interface.

Go to:

http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html


The web-based bug interface is currently disabled.


This is annoying.  A user is already peeved that FreeBSD has a bug, and
now the bug sending mechanism has a bug.  In addition, the web bug
submission is offline.
The send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should not have failed in the
first place.  Even if [EMAIL PROTECTED] needs spam
protection, all of the emails coming into it have a signature which makes
spam analysis incredibly easy.  Please reopen FreeBSD-gnats-submit so that 
it accepts all input and rejects based upon content.

Another idea is to rewrite send-pr so that it submits bug reports directly
to a port on a server somewhere.  Using port 80 and a dedicated receive
server would get around firewalling issues.
The alternative is to reopen the web form.  However, I find send-pr much 
more useful (less cutting and pasting).

Submitting a bug report should be the easiest, most robust and error free
task the system carries out.
Thanks,

The hostap machine is 4.8-STABLE and the client is 5.1-RELEASE.

One nice thing about the hostap is that bridge(4) works with wi(4)
that is in hostap mode.  Does anybody know if only Intersil cards
have the hostap mode, or some Prism's also do?
Well yeah. Considering Intersil makes the Prism brand of 802.11 chips.
=)
I'm not aware of any other chips that allow for this groovy hostap mode 
unless the formerly unsupported atheros chips do. I figure the idea is 
not unique, and the feature seems logical for vendors to build their 
AP's based on common hardware.

Make sure ls is dynamically-linked.
