boot loader too large
I have been following a number of GPT and ZFS docs on the web. I intend to run UFS with GPT. I have partitioned the drive. I installed the bootcode using: gpart bootcode -b /dist/boot/pmbr -p /dist/boot/gptboot -i 1 ad4 ad4p1 is a 1 MB partition with nothing in it and type=freebsd-boot. The root device is ad4p2 with binaries and kernel already installed. When I boot I get an error message: boot loader too large I am not sure what stage of the boot process this occurs in. I do not see any of the familiar boot0 or boot1 prompts. I tried installing mbr, boot0, and boot1 just to see what would happen. I didn't expect them to boot assuming that they are GPT unaware. I did get some familiar prompts/errors. I at least confirmed that I was managing to get the bootcode installed. Is there any documentation on the new GPT boot process yet? I am curious how the PMBR knows to pass control to the boot partition, and then on the to root partition's /boot/loader.

crypt question/server hotel
I want to put my server in a server hotel. But: I don't trust my server hotel owner. What can I do? I can crypt my partition/hdd's that contains the data. Ok. But: then my operating system will not be encrypted. Not Ok. If I crypt my operating system too, then when a reboot comes, I have to type a password to decrypt. But my server will be at a server hotel I can't directly use a keyboard [no service cpu]. What can I do [on technical side] to ensure a little more security to my server [e.g: crypt my partition/slice/whatever, that has the operating system, but without the type password problem] Thank you for any tips/help. ___ 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

Re: Requesting community opinion regarding security/pam_ldap groupdn and member_attribute
On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 8:44 AM, Valentin Bud valentin@gmail.com wrote: Hello community, I am working these days on implementing a centralized [...] The problem is that pam_ldap wants the memberUid attribute to contain the user's DN and there is no option to change this behavior. Hmmm... My question is: what is the argument behind this and do you think it should stay this way or could it be changed? In my case I really need pam_ldap to check just for UID not DN of a user in memberUid attribute. I think you are a bit confused here, because dn is not an attribute, and you must revise RFCs 4510 to 4519,4530 (and others related). The DN is the Distinguished Name, which is basically the RDN + the DN of the parent node. let's see where should I start Ok, think of LDAP as 2 things: 1) a simple network protocol, 2) a database model that stores entries in a tree fashion (the Directory Information Tree or DIT). Each entry (the atomic unit in a DIT) has to derive from at least one structural Object Class (or more) and zero or more Auxiliary Classes. The structural class has one (or more - though it's not very common) MUST attributes, which _usually_ make up the entry's RDN (Relative Distinguished Name). So, the RDN is _usually_ conformed of the principal MUST attribute of it's primary structural class, and _usually_ it defines the entry type[1]. I say usually because entries commonly derive from several classes, not just one, so in reallity you can use _any_ attribute for your RDN, as long as you make sure it's unique among siblings (other entries that share the same parent). When you position the entry in the DIT you conform what is known as the DN, which is the attribute(s) that conform the RDN + the DN of the parent node. It is also important to note that, and not many people know this, that both the RDN and DN could change during the life of an entry, and there is an operational attribute called the entryUUID which is sort-of a unique identifier in the DIT (RFC4530), and although it's not really meant to be used as a day-to-day identifier, may prove useful when integrating LDAP data to other data sources such as RDBMS. Oh, and entries can also have multiple DNs (Alias Names RFC4512, sect 2.6). So, back to your question, the short answer is that to find an entry in the DIT you HAVE TO use the dn, althoug the attribuites that conform that dn are really up to you. For example, if your entry derives from person and posixAccount you could use any of (or both) cn and/or uid in the RDN. Best, Alejandro Imass Notes: [1] The entry type, of course is what you want it to be, though many of your GUI tools will chose the principal atribute of the first objectclass to show you the node (they seldomly use the complete dn, so you kind-a think of that attribute as the type (organization, person, ou, etc.), but that may be missleading) I have asked our friend google what does he has to say about this and found out that there is a patch on Debian which can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341541 that gives the user the possibility to choose if the memberUid attribute holds the DN or UID. I would really like that feature so I have patched pam_ldap to no success and since my C programming skills are close to none I am stuck. Would you people think that the above patch would be useful? Please argument on this. How can I/we make that patch work?

Upgrade error for fbsd-7.2 or 7.3
I hope someone can help me with this one. I've searched and nothing found yet. I 've been running fbsd-7.0p3 for quite a while just fine with 4 SATA drives always recognized as: ad8, ad10, ad12 and ad14 The boot drive is ad8 Upgraded to 7.1p11 and all still fine. However, when upgrading to 7.2 or 7.3, the system recognizes the drives differently as: ad6, ad8, ad10 and ad12 respectively in place of the normal ones above. Of course the system won't boot without telling it to mount ad6 instead of ad8 and then go into fstab and changing the letters. Plus, my jail no longer works although it was updated properly.

version/revision control software for things mostly not source
I think I am reaching the point where I want to have some kind of sane and easy to use version/revision control software for my various personal files and small projects. We are talking about varied kind of data, ranging from binary format game data (I have been doing FPS level design as a hobby for over a decade) to .doc office documents to ASCI text formatted game data. Most of the data is not plaintext. So far I have been using a hacked together mix of things, mostly a combination of essentially storing each revision of any given file a separate file001, file002, file003, etc which while easy to use and understand, seems rather space-inefficient and a little bit of ZFS snapshotting, however I want something better. What would be examples of good version control software for me? The major things I want are: a simple and easy to use Windows GUI client for my workstation, so I can quickly browse through different projects, go back to any given point in time and view/checkout the data of that point to a Windows machine. Space efficiency, while not critical (the server has 2 x 2TB drives in RAID1 and can easily be expanded down the line should the need eventually arise) is obviously an important thing to have, surely even with binary data some space can be saved if you have 20 versions of the same file with minor changes. Sadly, FreeBSD's ZFS doesn't have dedup or this functionality would've been easy to implement with my current hacked together methods. Performance does't matter all that much (unless we are talking something silly like a really crazy IO bottleneck), since the only expected user is just me and perhaps a few friends.

Performance does't matter all that much (unless we are talking something silly like a really crazy IO bottleneck), since the only expected user is just me and perhaps a few friends. If you're looking for local revision management, I think something like Mercurial is an excellent choice. If, however, you're looking more for a system for backing up to a remote computer with revision management included in the package, Subversion may be a better choice. This is because the basic assumption for distributed version control systems like Mercurial (which I love) is that you'll be working on stuff locally and want the ability to move forward and backward through changes, run parallel development branches locally to try out things and compare your results and so on, with occasional reintegration with others' efforts. By contrast, a centralized VCS like Subversion operates on the basic assumption that all your work is intended to be stored on some centralized system, and when you want to commit a particular revision you also want it at that moment to be backed up to that central location. I think this is why Subversion was fairly popular as a simple, manual backup system for a lot of people, while DVCSes like Mercurial tend to be popular more specifically with software developers -- particularly in open source projects. So . . . depending on your particular needs and workflow, I'd say that a centralized VCS and a DVCS are both candidates for best option in your case. Note: I use Subversion and Mercurial as my examples because those are the two I generally use and like the most. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpADYbPfUiOO.pgp Description: PGP signature

odd ssh/X11 forward behavior
Appreciate any insight, I'm stumped. Situation is as below: host#1: freebsd host#2: linux I would like to run X apps on host #2 so they are displayed on host #1. I've set up as best I can tell the appropriate options in ssh_/sshd_config files to do this. Procedure: in an open xterm window on host #1. issue ssh -Y -l username host#2 After connection, $DISPLAY is host#2:10.0attempt to run an X program such as xcalc. Get 'unable to open display' as well as an authentication error. spend a while mucking about to no avail. at some point, connect again to host #2 via a second xterm window which was open. run xcalc. magically, xcalc displays on host #1 happy days! notice that I still have open another connection in first xterm to host #2. try to exit, hangs at logout message. remains thus until I close the xcalc window and then it completes logout. try to run xcalc again in the 2nd session. failure. same error messages as before. open another session again to host #2. run xcalc. magic, it displays. go back to the other session, try to run xclock. magic, it displays. So... I have no clue here. If I have *two* open ssh sessions to host #2 (both with X forwarding) I can run applications which display on host #1 and in fact can run any application from either session at same time. However, if there is only *one* session open, nothing works and I get the various error messages related to opening the display and authentication. Where have I gone wrong?

However, when upgrading to 7.2 or 7.3, the system recognizes the drives differently as: ad6, ad8, ad10 and ad12 respectively in place of the normal ones above. Of course the system won't boot without telling it to mount ad6 instead of ad8 and then go into fstab and changing the letters. Plus, my jail no longer works although it was updated properly. Anyone with a similar problem or ideas? All the best, Jack OK, I get it. Will just change my FSTB to match the new HD numbers before first bootup after upgrade.

That elusive mysqlclient.16
Hi again: Attempts to build databases/mysql55-server or php5-mysql, or php5-mysqli all stop with the following error: Error: shared library mysqlclient.16 does not exist I've tried building and rebuilding mysql55-client, tried portupgrade (after portsnap) all to no avail. Google searches found one item, and that was in Chinese. Does anyone know what port is supposed to install this share library? I'd think the file would be installed by mysql55-client, but apparently not. All help greatly appreciated...

Re: version/revision control software for things mostly not source
On Sat, 17 Apr 2010 18:08:49 +0300, Dan Naumov wrote I think I am reaching the point where I want to have some kind of sane and easy to use version/revision control software for my various personal files and small projects. We are talking about varied kind of data, ranging from binary format game data (I have been doing FPS level design as a hobby for over a decade) to .doc office documents to ASCI text formatted game data. Most of the data is not plaintext. So far I have been using a hacked together mix of things, mostly a combination of essentially storing each revision of any given file a separate file001, file002, file003, etc which while easy to use and understand, seems rather space-inefficient and a little bit of ZFS snapshotting, however I want something better. Sadly, FreeBSD's ZFS doesn't have dedup or this functionality would've been easy to implement with my current hacked together methods. Performance does't matter all that much (unless we are talking something silly like a really crazy IO bottleneck), since the only expected user is just me and perhaps a few friends. Thanks! - Sincerely, Dan Naumov Someone else mentioned Subversion and Tortoisesvn. I use these tools for revision management of 600 or so powerpoints, graphics, and other miscellaneous files that we use for church services. Once up and running, it's simplicity itself. I also use websvn to allow read only access to individual files via a browser. I've found it works like a charm. --- IHN, Gene -- To everything there is a season, And a time to every purpose under heaven. ___ 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

From jail(8): security.jail.allow_raw_sockets This MIB entry determines whether or not prison root is allowed to create raw sockets. Setting this MIB to 1 allows utilities like ping(8) and traceroute(8) to operate inside the prison. If this MIB is set, the source IP addresses are enforced to comply with the IP address bound to the jail, regardless of whether or not the IP_HDRINCL flag has been set on the socket. Since raw sockets can be used to configure and interact with various network subsystems, extra caution should be used where privileged access to jails is given out to untrusted parties. As such, by default this option is disabled.
