Running gpg-agent and caching the passphrase
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. -- 21.

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.

IPSec routing (long post)
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.

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. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Others, provided 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. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(Plus, I'd like to keep everything inside the port - hence the longish pkg-message - less steps to go through this way).

Re: Re: IPSec routing (long post)
From : claudiu vasadi claudiu.vas...@gmail.com To : jh...@socket.net 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
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, Jason C.

Re: SATA Host Adapter Recommendation
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. Rob On 5/21/11 9:26 PM, Jason C.
