Running gpg-agent and caching the passphrase

2011-05-21 Thread Jens Jahnke
Hi,

I'm trying to get gpg-agent running under 8.2 using the same setup I've
had on my linux box.
The agent is started via .xinitrc:
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
if [ -z `pgrep gpg-agent` ]; then
  eval $(gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file ${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info \
  --log-file ${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.log)
fi

The agent is up and running (checked via ps) and the option use-agent
is set in gpg.conf. As pinentry I installed pinentry-gtk2.

If I try to sign or decrypt something the pinentry window comes up and
asks for my passphrase. So far so good but I want it to cache my
passphrase for some time.
My ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
default-cache-ttl = 3600

But no matter what option I set the passphrase is not cached and there
is no error message in the logs.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but the same setup was
running on my linux box without problems so I guess this might be bsd
related.

Regards,

Jens

P.S.: I use ssh-agent also and it works without problems. While using
gpg-agent with the ssh option ask for the passphrase every time the key
is used.

Have you considered to use (security/)keychain?

It's very handy for the purpose.

It's invoked by putting something like:

eval `keychain --eval id_rsa your_gpg_key` 

in e.g. your .zshrc.

A whois may tell you who the block has been given too (ISP wise) ... that
may start you in the right direction

For example:

I have a valid IPv6 address from my hosting provider (they gets used for IRC
on occasion ..)

NetRange:   2610:1E8:: - 2610:1E8::::::
CIDR:   2610:1E8::/32
OriginAS:   AS14595
NetName:NET-THINKTEL6-1
NetHandle:  NET6-2610-1E8-1
Parent: NET6-2610-1
NetType:Direct Allocation
RegDate:2007-05-04
Updated:2007-05-04
Ref:http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET6-2610-1E8-1

As you can see, a whois of that ip reveals the block provided to my hosts
provider, from there you could start asking questions. Spam sent to the
list, I tend to ignore, spam sent to me, I investigate and make go away. I'v
also run a tracert(6) to find a general geographic region of the spam, if
it's origin was reasonably local then I fire e-mails off to those locations
as best I can.

An interesting story here ... I actually knew one of my spammers,
personally, a pseudofriend who always tried to show off to me, he had money
and was always buying gadgets that he had no use for or how to use. When I
figured it out I almost laughed meself stupid. I then took all my proof to
his Mom and it all stopped, all his gadgets mysteriously disappeared from
his house and he stopped calling ... coincidentally, all of that
mysteriously disappeared junk, magically appeared in my bedroom :D

Anywho there are ways, just takes patience and persistence...

IPSec routing (long post)

2011-05-21 Thread jhall

Ladies and Gentlemen,

First, please excuse this extremely long post.  I have tried to include 
all of the information I thought was relevant, and may have included too 
much. 

I have established an IPSec connection to our vendor using transport mode. 
 However, I am having problems successfully routing the traffic.  We using 
a preshared key for authentication.  The connection is successfully made.  
My vendor has verified they are able to see the connection up on their 
router and I am able to see a successful connection when running racoon in 
the foreground.  I am running FBSD 8.1. 

My external IP address is 1.2.3.4 and the vendor's is 5.6.7.8.  The 
default gateway on my system is 1.2.3.5.  My internal IP address range is 
192.168.1.0/24 and the vendor's is 192.168.2.0//24. 

Following is what I have done/tried.

Following are my entries in racoon.conf.  I have not changed any of the 
default settings for padding/spacing/etc.

That's a varied enough workload that I think you'd have to try it.  
ZFS has problems with low-memory conditions, 
so you might want to avoid it for this application.
I don't think the OS version will matter much, but 
I'd be tempted to go with CURRENT, especially if you use ZFS.

Good luck.

 Thank you for your advice.


Couple things to think about.  Virtualbox by default doesn't obey flush
cache commands.  This is potentially a very bad thing so you'll want to look
a changing the default for any ZFS VM, and probably any VM doing DB
operations unless speed is more of a priority than data integrity.

The other thing to keep in mind is i386 binaries use less RAM than their
amd64 counter parts.  For this reason, I always make my VM's 32 bit to
achieve higher VM density.  I have not had trouble with ZFS on i385 with
1GB+ of RAM when following the recommended tuning, but I haven't used a
heavily used them either.

I prefer to use the MFSBSD ZFS v28 i386 iso for the install.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I have all the workers of the amd64 
and tests in the i386, with its restrictions did not see the point.
Now start the virtual machine to 150MB RAM, FreeBSD 8.2-CURRENT amd64 on 
ZFS.

That is quite certainly too little RAM for that setup.  Lowest I've heard 
anyone get to with ZFS is half a GB, and it's not considered 'stable' with 
less than a full GB.  (And from my experience I'd say you'll want more than 
that.)


With another file system, maybe.  But ZFS needs RAM.

by the base system, are fetch -rR device and also
recoverdisk.

In the ports collection you'll find tools like ddrescue,
dd_rescue, ffs2recov, magicrescue, testdisk, scan_ffs,
recoverjpeg, foremost and photorec. And finally there is
The Sleuth Kit (with its tools fls, dls, ils and autopsy).

Those tools keep you from spending money to companies
who also use software (this one or something else). You
could also waste money on recovery programs that won't
work, so trying to use the tools mentioned would be the
first step.

I may give two additional advices in this context:

1. Do not work with the original disk. Make a dd copy
   and work with the image.

2. Read about what you're dealing with. This may consume
   some tome, but it really helps understanding what the
   problem is, and therefore helps finding a solution.

This is the part of the story that I know from my own
desaster. :-)

But as soon as you encounter hardware problems with the
disk, you should try to find a recovery lab you can
trust. It can be a very complicated search, and the
result will traditionally also be expensive. This is
the case when they can do something you can't do on
yourself (e. g. disasselmbling a disk, exchanging
heads in a clean-room environment) - it's mostly a
matter of dealing with hardware.

Could you please submit a send-pr to add that useful list to man

this area better ... :-)

Other lists exist too - Was Re: Hardware Recovery Company

2011-05-21 Thread Julian H. Stacey
For Alejandro Imass as original poster re. Hardware Recovery Company:
FreebSD has a special mail list for file systeme
it's name is f...@freebsd.org.
(we also have hardware@ etc)

For all,
Questions@ started as a catch all fallback address for simple beginners
questions from the newly installed, who didn't know /  hadn't yet read
  http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html
  
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL
to find where more exactly one might ask a question.

Recently questions@ seems to be performing roughly the same purpose
as hackers@ list, a random jamboree/ mellange of topics, which
doesnt make much sense to me (where theyre posted, not the content
of the questions), I think a lot of questions@ traffic would be
better posted to hackers@ or other themed @freebsd.org lists.

Cheers,
Julian

 And what about a wiki page? This way we can extend it in case something
 important is uncovered.

 I'm not opposed to it, but I don't see the need for it at this time.
 (Plus, I'd like to keep everything inside the port - hence the longish
 pkg-message - less steps to go through this way).


Wiki page is good point to look when searching internet about skype and freebsd.

Re: Re: IPSec routing (long post)

2011-05-21 Thread jhall

From : claudiu vasadi claudiu.vas...@gmail.com

Subject : Re: IPSec routing (long post)
Date : Sat, 21 May 2011 18:45:07 +0200
  Some additional points:
 - have you been following the FreeBSD handbook on this ? -
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html
 - pls post your ifconfig  interface settings
 - you can use tcpdump to sniff traffic off of your real network
 interface (tcpdump (-v) -i interface host vendor_ext_IP and dst
 local_ext_IP)
 - do you have options IPSEC and device crypto in your kernel ?

My understanding is the handbook was using tunnel mode to connect the 
networks, and I am using transport mode.  Are these the same, and I am 
misunderstanding what I am reading.

SATA Host Adapter Recommendation

2011-05-21 Thread Jason C. Wells
I am looking to get 2 sata host adapters.  The mandatory requirements 
are good freebsd support and hot swap capability.  I plan to use 
gmirror. I have discovered that my onboard chipsets don't support hot swap.


The highpoint cards are rated highly on newegg.  Are these good with 
freebsd?


Thanks,

Re: SATA Host Adapter Recommendation

2011-05-21 Thread Rob
I have a Highpoint 4-port PCI-E 4x card in a server that has worked well 
for a few years.  It's a bit pricey, but I've had no problems with it.


Recently, I've gotten 3 Rosewill RC-218 cards because they're much 
cheaper and I don't need the RAID functionality on other cards.  I'm 
building servers with them now, but FreeBSD recognizes the disks 
attached to them fine (so long as your on = 8.2 and you add 
hw.hptrr.attach_generic=0 in /boot/loader.conf).  I haven't tried 
hot-swapping any drives yet, but I'm assuming since it's SATA it should 
work fine.  I should probably verify that soon.

Not able to install firefox 4 from 8.2 stable packages

2011-05-21 Thread Xn Nooby
I'm a struggling nooby.  I am trying to install firefox 4 on a fresh
8.2 installation. I want to the core system to track the errata
branch, and get binary packages from 8-stable (which has firefox 4).


I installed FreeBSD 8.2 release.

# freebsd-update fetch install

rebooted

# portsnap fetch extract

use BASH shell

# export 
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest/;

installed x11 and icewm

# pkg_add -r firefox

get perl conflict between 5.10 and 5.12

# pkg_add -fr firefox

firefox installs but I get firefox3 instead of firefox 4.0

# pkg_info| grep firefox

shows firefox-3.6.13,1

trying to use source

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make install clean

get errors about firefox 4.0.1 needing nspr=4.8.7

# pkg_add -r nspr

says nspr-4.8.6 or older is already installed
