encrypted drives
Hi: 1) I was thinking, what is the performance penalty of storing data on an encrypted device? Sure, for writing documents, coding and stuff, I guess the performance loss is insignificant, but for music and video which then needs to be decrypted and then decoded, is this a problem? 2) One thing is to create an entire encrypted device for /home. But that have the unfortunate consequence that other user's data is unencrypted once the system is up. What would be more appropriate is a solution where each home-dir is an encrypted mfs which is decrypted and mounted when the user log in, is this possible? If not, then the alternative would be to have a private mfs in the user's home dir which is mounted after login, but I think yet the user needs root access to mount encrypted devices. Is there any possibility for users to mount their own encrypted mfs?

Its just for home use anyways, more as a way to fool around with FreeBSD a bit, so was wondering if 6.1-BETA4 would suffice for the purpose ... is it stable enough or would it give me issues? I am using 6.1-PRERELEASE which has actually been upgraded from 6.1-BETA3. The system as such is stable, but there are some nuisances. These are not fatal in any way but may cause confusion. So in particular if you're new to FreeBSD, better stay with 6.0. Also, suppose I were to go with 6.0, is there some way I can update to the 6.1 release when its released, *without* downloading the CDs etc? Maybe give some command which would download the required parts over the Internet? It is fairly easy to upgrade, see the handbook, in fact I had a system that I had continuously upgraded from a 5.2.1 installation in march 2004 to the 6.1-PRERELEASE. I only reinstalled because I needed to repartition my disk to get more space available on my /home. To practice upgrading you can try using the tag RELENG_6_0 - you will know what that means when you read the handbook. This will keep you on 6.0 but apply the patches that have been committed since the release. If you later want to upgrade to 6.1 (that branch has not yet been created) then you just change the tag to RELENG_6_1 and if you want to move with the head of the 6_STABLE branch then use tag RELENG_6.

Re: mplayer-plugin build failure
You need to make sure this command works: pkg-config --exists firefox-plugin If you're building against seamonkey, then this command must succeed: pkg-config --exists seamonkey-plugin These commands check for the existence of a browser-plugin.pc file in /usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig. well... pkg-config doesn't see them but locate does - and they are there, in the right place... both... so what's wrong with pkg-config?!? ok here is the errors output from pkg-config: # pkg-config --print-errors --exists firefox-plugin.pc Package nspr was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Samba shares and logging in
In windows when I have the same user account on two machines, neither needs to login to access the share. With Samba I have to use the username/password. The XP machine can get straight into the FreeBSD machine (which has the same username and password) but the FreeBSD machine needs to login to access the XP share. Are there any Samba settings that would allow the FreeBSD machine the ability to access shares without logging in if (and only if) the user exists on both computers? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually, the article says FileVault encrypts a user's entire home directory, settings and all data. I have a PowerBook and I used to use FileVault on it. From my observations, it works by making an encrypted Disk Image file of your home directory which is mounted and unmounted at login and logoff. It is a special disk image called a sparse image which can grow, but can't be shrunk while the image is mounted. This is mostly why I stopped using FileVault--doing a lot of I/O in my homedir caused the sparse image to gradually grow, then I'd eventually have to logoff and let it recover all the gaps in the image, a slow process. There is a different image for each user, so it works in multiuser environments. OS X keeps your unix passwd and the disk image decryption passphrase synchronized if you use the OS X GUI to change your password. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are few reasons to have syslog listening on that port: There might be some services running on you host (not that I know any) that try to write to the loopback interface rather than a UNIX socket. In that case you can force syslog only to bind to the loopback interface adding -b localhost. Also, you should have your local firewall block incoming traffic.

Re: ipfilter nat redirect
fbsd_user wrote: I have a web server on my private lan that I want to be accessible from the public internet. dc0 is the interface facing the public internet I added this rdr rule after the map rules at the end of my nat file. ordering is extremely important, nat rules are first match while filter rules are last match unless you add the quick keyword. So, if you have eg a binat rule, then the rdr never takes place. rdr dc0 0/0 port 80 - 10.0.10.4 port 8080 also tried this rule rdr dc0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 - 10.0.10.4 port 8080 seems ok, but you may want to replace the 0/0 with your external ip/32 if it is fixed. My understanding of the documentation says the above rdr rule means, check all packets inbound on interface dc0, and no matter what the sending ip address of the packet may be, if the port number of the destination ip address of that packet matches port 80, then re-write the packet's destination ip address and port to 10.0.10.4 port 8080 and create the internal nat table to handle the translation of the outbound packets coming from 10.0.10.4. Then hand the re-written packet to the firewall to be processed against the firewall rules. My ipfilter firewall rules would need a pass rule like this pass in log quick on dc0 proto tcp from any to 10.0.10.4 port = 8080 flags S keep state to create the by-directional packet session. Problem is I cant get this to work. I see nothing in the log for the pass rule. Anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong or if my understanding of the re-direct process is in error. When using rdr, the rdr rule is applied _before_ the filtering, so filter rule above seems correct to me. Always, and in particular for debugging, create a rule that catches and logs anything you haven't thought of. Your log only catches successful passes, after that rule, add a log rule like: block in log quick on dc0 this should show you the packets that actually are filtered.

Re: ipfilter nat redirect
John Murphy wrote: I think the filter action occurs before NAT so you would need this: pass in log quick on dc0 proto tcp from any to your live IP port = 80 For ip-filter, if nat is done when the packet comes IN on an interface, like with rdr, then this takes place BEFORE filtering. If nat is done when the packet goes OUT on an interface then this takes place AFTER filtering. If you use binat then you can think of it as the combination of rdr and nat. The reason that binat is not really rdr+nat is that rdr requires a specific port. But for understanding where the nat'ing takes place for binat, thinking rdr+nat on the same interface works. This means that when nat is configured correctly then you can completely forget about it when writing the firewall rules and just think of all networks to be routable.

Detecting CPU type without dmesg
Hi everyone, Here's a curly question:- How can you detect the CPU type (make, model, and rated speed) on a running FreeBSD server without using dmesg? I can't shut this machine off to check BIOS messages, and neither can I check dmesg (it seems that a pile of network dmesg logging has rotated the kernel initialization log part off into the sunset). Is there a way to check CPU processor make and model type at all now? I'm starting to wish that FreeBSD would save the kernel initialization log in a place where it couldn't get lost (sort of like /proc in Linux but without the fanciness that entails)... or perhaps there is such a Valhalla in FreeBSD and I can't see it for the forest?

So, you installed from source, or from the ports/packages system? It reads like you installed from source, to me. If you installed from source, I would expect that you forgot to tell the configure script where the libraries were, or it was too dumb to find them; if you had used ports/packages, it would have been handled automagically for you (which is the reason to use said system in the first place). If you did indeed install from ports/packages, it would be good to know, because something *might* be broken. But, I *strongly* suspect that it's simply a misconfiguration, unfortunately, on your part --- you installed from source and missed setting the proper location for libs, which, on FreeBSD, is /usr/local/lib for this internationalization lib...

Some people must've had this thought before I ever did, I hope they will support me. We need a special clause in the license we release our work under. I'm not a lawyer, but I understand that it will be very hard to devise and formulate. Basically, it should state that under no circumstances and under no legislation should ever any entity be punished for breaking the license terms. I just can't sleep tight when a man can get sued and prosecuted because he copied a piece of my work without mentioning my name, whatever his motives are. At the same time, I respect my work and the work of other, and appreciate a way to state that names should be mentioned. So we need a law, that can be followed and can be broken, but can't be enforced. What do you think, guys? I think that's called public domain. Since the BSD license like GPL defaults to normal copyright if not followed or accepted it's at *your* descretion whether or not someone can/will be sued, and no one elses. Nope. The real BSD license gives copyrights to the University of California, Berkeley. Mainly for historical reasons because BSD originated from there, but there is a legal reason also. You see, if I Ted Mittelstaedt release software copyright Ted Mittelstaedt, even if I give everyone rights to use it, I still retain copyright and later on I can change the terms of that copyright. That is what the courts have said I can do. As a result of this, people, when they use my work commercially they will need to get me to sign a piece of paper. If I'm not reachable, that's kind of hard. By giving the copyright to the University, it assures any future entity that there will never be any question of copyight rights to use the work since the UCB obviously isn't difficult to find, and is not likely to dry up and disappear. This is why FreeBSD is copyrighted The FreeBSD Project and not the individual developers copyrights. If you retain your own copyright on the work then your license might be a BSD-like license, but it's not the BSD license. You're the copyright holder and you decided to cover reproduction with the BSDL (you can make exceptions as you please as well) on top of copyright with or without a declaration of you asserting your copyright -- which some feel makes your standing stronger (see also: all rights reserved) in case you get involved in a copyright issue. The licenses themselves could only become of legal importance if you accuse someone of breach while they say they still accept the license but believe they abide to it. But that can only be started by your declaring copyright infringement. This is more prominent in the GPL but it applies for the BSDL as well I think. So what I think (IANALIJRS) is that you're proposing something that essentially gives up copyright. That's the public domain as I understand it.

Cheap FreeBSD hosting?
Well it seems my perfect FreeBSD webhost, which had great service, great features, and a great support community has been sold-out to a large webhost consolidation company with a reputation for ruining every company they buy. They'll also be switching from FreeBSD to Linux. Since I desire to eat my own dogfood and continue to have my sites and pages Powered by FreeBSD I am back in the market looking for a new webhost. Currently I pay about $8/month for 12GB of storage, 300GB of bandwidth/month, and 5 MySQL databases. I need at least 4 databases (preferably more), and currently average 200-300MB/month transfer (although I peaked last year one month at 6GB for the month, but that's rare). I currently use 2.5GB but my space needs will gradually increase. I'd like to find a comparable plan at a webhost that uses FreeBSD servers. Pair is out of my league.

Install FreeBSD on a remote server
Hi. I have a remote server, that I can access through SSH using a Linux Rescue CD. I would like to install FreeBSD 6.0 on this system. First I looked at Depinguinator. I checked the script and decided that I couldn't really use that, especially because it works for FreeBSD 5.4 only. I then proceeded this way: I have created an image the same size the hard drive in the remote server is (approx. 10GB). With qemu I installed FreeBSD 6.0 on that and copied it onto the remote server. I had to use dd for that - dump/restore won't work, since with the Linux Rescue-CD I cannot mount UFS. Now I heard that copying an image with dd might give you trouble at a later point of time. Problems might be the physical constitution of the hard drive - partitions have to end at a cylinder. And since cylinders are different on different hard drives, it might give you IO-Errors. Is that true? My next idea was to partition the hard drive on the remote system with the Linux Rescue CD (fdisk), then dd that image onto my system. With qemu I then wanted to install FreeBSD on the already partitioned image and dd it onto the remote system again. Does this sound better to you So if you have any better ideas how to install a FreeBSD 6.0 on this server, I'll be glad for any replies! Thanks.

I then tried at home to repeat on a different machine which had been updated almost at the same time but without luck. So, I there may be some error in updating or that very snap I got. In any case I need to investigate that more. And the other error, I have now tried and found that it appears only in Eterm, not in xterm or on the console.

That's two servers with the same error. My 4.X server did just fine, as
did my 5.4 servers. All my toasters run qmail, so of eleven servers,
these two are all I have left to do.
The Makefile looks fine, I'm missing something obvious here. Google
comes up empty handed.
