jdk14 without X libraries?

2005-11-04 Thread Steve Brown
I'm building /usr/ports/jdk14 on my 5.4-RELEASE i386, and it's using a 
lot of X.org stuff to do the build.  I'm already using the -DMINIMAL 
flag, but I'd like a way to turn off all the graphical stuff.  Does 
anyone here know how to do this?

Thanks,
Steve Brown

Serial console capable BIOSes?

2005-07-03 Thread Steve Brown
Does anyone have recommendations for motherboards (P3 or P4) with good
BIOS serial console support that plays nicely with FreeBSD running a
serial console on the same port?  Basically, I'd like to monitor the 
pre-BSD boot process and the BSD boot process from a terminal window on 
another machine.

Thanks,

Re: Linux move to FreeBSD

2005-07-03 Thread Steve Brown
 That is way I here your problem but could not clearly see the problem with
 any Os's. How about you install BSD and just clear the conf file which
 shows Beastie at startup.

Asking people to do something to easily remedy a situation of their own
accord?  Are you crazy?

dovecat-0.99.14 SSL option not present?

2005-07-08 Thread Steve Brown
I am trying to get dovecat running on a FreeBSD-5.2.1 system with a 
nightly-updated ports tree.  I am running into the problem that dovecat 
0.99.14 is not compatible with GNUTLS at the moment, as document on this 
list previous to my joining:

 # make config
 
 will allow you to redo your config choices and select SSL rather than
 GNUTLS, support for which is broken in Dovecot itself ATM, thus in the
 port also.

However, when I run the config, I don't have the option to select SSL.  
My options are: GNUTLS, SASL2, VPOPMAIL, LDAP, PGSQL, and MYSQL.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve B.

Re: Did not use port_upgrade

2006-08-19 Thread Steve Brown
 Do I need to make deinstall all of these ports and start all over?

I'd appreciate someone correcting me if I'm wrong; I think you should 
just be able to upgrade your ports tree (directions in the Handbook) and 
then the ports will compile with the latest versions.

Re: Geli questions.. ponderings..

2006-08-23 Thread Steve Brown
 The idea:  I'd like to use geli to encrypt *everything* on the disk.  So
 if someone (a competitor maybe) removes the disk from the machine,   he
 can't gain any data off of it easily.  I know nothing is 100%,  but why
 make the process easy for him?

It seems like there is a more basic problem here than automating key 
downloading.  If the end-user can boot up the box, then they have an 
opportunity to interfere with the boot process.  The code providing 
instructions to fetch a remote key would have to be in the clear, in 
which case the competitor could just use that code to get the remote key 
(since it would do so automatically on boot, I assume you're not 
requiring the client to call you for key authorization every time?) and 
then access the disk.

The problem is wanting to automate the decryption process, I think.

devfs creates unwanted devices in jail after ruleset applied

2006-11-18 Thread Steve Brown

I am running a DNS server in a jail and have setup a devfs mount in the
jail to have null and random devices.

The setup works fine, but once I log out then log back in the pty and
tty devices of my login get created in the jail. Which, of course, I
don't want to happen. To clarify, I'm not talking about logging into
the jail, this occurs when logging on to the system. The jail is
stripped down, not anywhere close to a virtual server.

I do the following to create the jail'd devfs at startup:

 mount_devfs devfs JAILDIR/dev

 devfs -m JAILDER/dev rule -s 35 add hide
 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 add path null unhide
 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 add path random unhide

 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 applyset

This works great - I get a dev directory setup with just null and
random. But the second anyone logs into the system, whammo all the
sudden pty and tty devices appear inside the jail's /dev directory.

If anyone would care to unclueless me I would appreciate it.

Re: freebsd 6.1

2006-11-18 Thread Steve Brown
 I `ve got a question about freebsd 6.1.
 I try to install 6.1 on a celeron 1300 but it will not install.
 When i try to install freebsd 5.5 on the same machine i don`1t have any 
 trouble.
 What could be the reason?

Any additional information such as how are you trying to install (CD?
FTP?), where does it fail, what happens when it fails, error messages,
etc.

If no one has any ideas, suggestions on perhaps a better place to
pose this question?
