restore /usr dump on two hard disk parallel y
hello guys i'm trying to restore DUMP file for partition /usr on tow hard disk parallel y. these two hard are connected to my system (i have freebsd8.2). i use restore command and it uses /tmp directory to restore dump. in restoring dump process, two hard disks try to use /tmp directory of my system. therefore conflict happened and restore command return error. i try to use TMPDIR and define another tmp directory for one of my hard disk but it does not identify it and use my system tmp directory yet. please let me know if using TMPDIR is a good idea and how i can use it. if not, how i can restore /usr dump file on two hard disk parallel y? thanks in advance sam ___ 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"

But I still long ago upgraded all my 4.x to 4.11, just as I similarly raised sundry 6.* hosts to last minor number of 6.4. Raising to last minor numbers is generaly easy, reduces local version diversity, gets free bug fixes without the cost of problems from new features/ changes in new major numbers. Increases the chances someone out there is running the same major.minor combo, even if EOL'd.

Thunderbird MCD/Autoconfig - functions not working?
Quick question guys - anyone using the autoconfig feature of Thunderbird out there? I might have to either create something or add something to something else that will actually do the same job otherwise. I decided to give it a go and see if it might save some work on deployment, but the getent function simply doesn't work. I've submitted a bug report due to lack of support from mozilla themselves, but I thought I might check if anyone might be using it with the current Thunderbird. To get it running I: created an all.js with the general.config entries under the defaults/pref directory. created a thunderbird.cfg under thunderbird lib directory with a url redirect to a server using getent to obtain the username. It is set to refresh every hour (atm). What I get: Thunderbird starts and asks for account setup. (or an error message if I set it) with the NSPR_LOG variables set I can see it failed to retrieve the config with a http error. the server logs indicate Thunderbird attempted to retrieve the file but failed to offer a user so the filename requested is incomplete. Given the rather interesting background of this feature it might simply be a case of wysiwyg- and lucky for that; but I thought I'd query the vast resources here JIC.

This returns to the original focus of your question in that the firewall would be the point of contention and not the cracking of WEP/WPA2 auth keys. What I was wanting to point out to you originally is that changing the firewall is a separate issue from the cracking of Wifi auth keys. I absolutely got that but I was assuming that a pre-packaged WiFi router with pfSense or m0n0wall would have a more secure wireless hardware and software as well. Now I see the problem is more complex and that the wireless part is vulnerable regardless. So if by cracking the wireless part they can spoof the mac addresses of authorized equipment, what other methods could a BSD-based firewall use to prevent the cracker from penetrating or using the network beyond the WiFi layer? From your response it seems very little or nothing really... Yes - unfortunately this is about the state of things. Not a whole lot you're going to do to improve the consumer grade home router. There are some hardware specific firmware projects that I've never played with such as: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index The pre-packaged home equipment is relatively cheap when compared against the top of the line enterprise-grade commercial products. Most are some form of embedded Linux. For example, the MI424WR-Rev3 I have here is busybox ( http://www.busybox.net/ ). If you turn on remote management and telnet into it you get a busybox prompt! With a busybox shell and all busybox commands. The firewall many of these embedded Linux things are using is iptables2, the standard linux firewall package. What I was pondering is some form of L2TP tunnel, or some other form of IPSEC tunnel to form some kind of VPN like communication between the client and the wifi. Just never have begun to find the time to get anywhere with the idea. But basically it would resemble a VPN that only accepts connection from a tunnel endpoint client and not pass any traffic from any other client lacking this VPN-like endpoint. I think such a thing is very possible and have read some articles by people who have done very similar sounding things. Indeed, this is what SSL-VPN providers do via a subscription service so people surfing at open wifi coffee shops tunnel through the local open wifi and setup an encrypted VPN tunnel. A quick note: pfSense (I don't know about m0n0wall) has OpenVPN built in to it. Depending on whether all devices which are going to connect wirelessly can run the client end of OpenVPN, this might be a quick way to get greater security on the WiFi side. Just not enough time in the day. I know it's do-able, just never have found the time to properly approach it. -- In the dungeons of Mordor, Sauron bred Orcs with LOLcats to create a new race of servants.
