Re: NATD: net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 vs firewall_type=OPEN

Thank you, Chris Hello, ipfw always has one default rule, standard is 65535 deny ip from any to any If you set net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1, you get 65535 allow ip from any to any instead. Specifing firewall_type=OPEN gives you an additional rule 65000 allow ip from any to any Now, if for example you execute ``ipfw flush'', thus deleting all rules, this deletes rule 65000, but the default rule stays in effect. With ...default_to_accept=0 ( standard setting ) you now have disabled all network connections and locked yourself out if you're working remote.

There is nothing you need to do to achieve the copyright - it's yours by acting. At the moment you write something like (C) Joe Sixpack 2012 it's set in stone. There might be other ways to prove (!) copyright, e. g. when one of your files appears in someone else's work, but now with the originator line saying (C) Nick Nosewhite 2013. In case of a court trial which involves copyright, you can prove from your CVS log of creation (or whatever source management system or even file system you use) that _you_ have been writing that code, nobody else. Does any software not having a copyright statement or any license comments included in the source mean that it's public domain? I would assume this. Imagine a snippet of code with no author mentioned in it (or in the source it comes from, or any file it is accompanied by), how would you be able to conclude something _else_ than this is public domain with _no_ copyright holder? I think you are wrong here. quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_software: Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed, an author automatically obtains the exclusive copyright to anything they have written, and local law may similarly grant copyright, patent, or trademark rights by default. The Berne Convention also covers programs. Therefore, a program is automatically subject to a copyright, and if it is to be placed in the public domain, the author must explicitly disclaim the copyright and other rights on it in some way. Note the wording explicitly disclaim. While German law has something like a triviality threshold which may well apply to very small code snippets, i'd say no included license by default means all rights reserved.

And it also makes sense what you say about the I/O. i will start another to see the results. Maybe try higher settings. Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html ) says: However, since much of the compiling process is I/O bound rather than CPU bound, it is also useful on single CPU machines. On a typical single-CPU machine, run: # make -j4 buildworld make(1) will then have up to 4 processes running at any one time. Empirical evidence posted to the mailing lists shows this generally gives the best performance benefit. On a multi-CPU machine using an SMP configured kernel, try values between 6 and 10 and see how they speed things up.

And, that message says: Please use debug versions of the loaders and report the output of `ctrace` on the boot monitor prompt. Building debug versions is most easily done via `make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g` in path/to/src/boot when building natively. You can also add the same when cross- compiling but then you'll end up with debug versions of everything. In both cases, make sure to not have any old object files in place.

Okay. It occurred to me today what was likely the problem. I was running,

I tar'd up /boot after my recent install from a Dec 22 9-stable, and moved it

machine, and was able to write bootblocks (with gpart bootcode) and a
bootloader (dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/${disk}a bs=512 oseek=1024

Now, the new problem. When I try to boot my sparc64 with these bits, I see:

the other disk to the zpool. I tried to do that today, but find that I can't
write the bootloader to either disk.
Google searching shows what I used last time, that if you get a:
gpart: /dev/da0a: Operation not permitted
you need to run
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
But, that doesn't change anything for me now. I can write the boot label
(using gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot ${disk}) to neither disk, getting the
same error in both cases.
Has something changed recently? I'm currently using a Dec 22 9-stable
codebase, built locally with GENERIC kernel.

Locally modifying ports
So, I've been a NetBSD user for many years, and am looking more at FreeBSD now. Trying to build myself a system, I find that I have a long-held delta to a package on my NetBSD system, and I keep it in a patch-local-* file in NetBSD pkgsrc. I can't figure out if FreeBSD ports has a way to keep and automatically apply local patches to ports. I want to modify the way the internals of a package/port operate, and not in a way that makes sense to move up- stream. It's just my preference. Is there a way in FreeBSD ports to keep a make this change to the source code after extracting and before compiling type of thing in the tree?

Re: Is ZFS production ready?

Checksumming will protect you from - failed SATA/SAS port, on-disk controller that returns bad data as good. This is actually really rare case. i never seen that, but maybe it happens. - some types of DRAM failure - but not all. Actually just a small fraction because DRAM failure like that would bring your system to crash so quickly that you are unlikely to get big data corruption. Common case with DRAM memory is that after you write to it, keeps right data some time and RARELY flips some bit later in spite of refresh. With this type you may run your machine for hours, even days or longer. And ZFS would calculate proper checksum of wrong data and will write it to disk. This is the reason i keep few failed DIMMs - for testing how different software behaves on broken machine. UFS resulted in few corrupted files after half a day of heavy work and 4 crashes. fsck always recovered things well (of course unexpected softupdate inconsistency) ZFS survived 2 crashes. After third it panicked on startup. Of course - no zfs_fsck. And no possibility of making really good zfs_fsck because of data layout, at least not easy. This feature is very important for databases. is data integrity not important for the rest? :) Still - disks itself perform quite heavy ECC and both SATA and SAS ports. While I don't dispute you're test's findings I would like to point out that you are SPECIFICALLY testing for something that the original designers of ZFS (SUN now Oracle) point out VERY clearly as being an issue that you should avoid in you're deployed environments. The filesystem is designed to protect the ON DISK data and being a highly memory intensive filesystem should ALWAYS be deployed on hardware with memory error correction build in (aka ECC RAM deployed across multiple banks). The filesystem comes from an hardware/OS environment that is HEAVILY BIASED towards self healing as they put it and as a result things like memory module issues would: 1) Either be corrected by the ECC modules 2) Be reported to the administrator of said system as soon as they occur (well on a system where you have such reporting setup correctly) As a result you're argument is mootwhilst you're findings are indeed still valid. UFS2 being MUCH lighter on RAM requirements is, well frankly, quite possibly not even interacting with the damaged sections of the memory modules in you're test and I am almost certain that if we were to ask around on this mailing list enough examples of UFS/UFS2 corruption due to faulty RAM are VERY VERY likely to come up. No filesystem (or other code for that matter) would be able to detect RAM content corruption (as this is NOT a filesystem's job) and correct it for you as frankly the kernel wouldn't know if the data in the buffers is correct or not without the application storing said data being coded to check for these conditions (I know of a patch to the Linux kernel that does indeed look for faulty RAM segments and works around them but I am *mostly*positive that no general purpose OS in current deployment does so as I have noticed that this behavior was VERY CPU intensive). Also (debate encouraged here) due to the COW nature of ZFS a zfs_fsck command is basically entirely unnecessary as 1) The last successfully completed write to the file will be intact and 2) Scrubbing the on disk content performs a much better filesystem maintenance than an fsck does and this can also be done online without impacting uptimes of you're systems/data availability. On my systems I specifically trigger a scrub (via the ZFS init script) whenever my systems are uncleanly shut down as I am willing to tolerate a slightly slower but available system in such conditions. While UFS2 is indeed an wonderfully reliable filesystem it (as with all things) is not suited to all tasks, there are many instances where I can see the features of ZFS far outweighing the detractions (as do I see the same for the converse state of affairs). While all the above is purely based on my understanding of ZFS (and I am one of the people working on a port to GNU/Linux - admittedly not directly but I spend a LOT of my time reading/cleaning up the code fork that I do use) and SUN's (now Oracle's) design/deployment documents,...it is still my opinion and I would encourage a debate on these opinions. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list

Maybe you can use /usr/ports/converters/dosunix.
Usage:
dosunix INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE
DosUnix converts files from DOS text format to Unix text format
by replacing each carriage return newline pair with a single
newline character.
does not do backups, though.

Re: Unprintable 8-bit characters
Am 09.11.2011, 01:42 Uhr, schrieb Conrad J. Sabatier conr...@cox.net:
Pardon me if this may seem like a stupid question, but this is
something that's been bugging me for a long time, and none of my
research has turned up anything useful yet.
I've been trying to understand what the deal is with regards to the
displaying of the extended 8-bit character set, i.e., 8-bit characters
with the MSB set.
More specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the ls command
to properly display filenames containing characters in this extended
set. I have some MP3 files, for instance, whose names contain certain
European characters, such as the lowercase u with umlaut (code 0xfc
in the Latin set, according to gucharmap), that I just can't get ls to
display properly. These characters seem to be considered by ls as
unprintable, and the best I've been able to produce in the ls
output is backslash interpretations of the characters using either the
-B or -b options, otherwise the default ? is displayed in their place.
Unsure if I understand you correctly.
(extended 8-bit character set with MSB? utf-16?)
I'm confused by this charset stuff in general.
Assuming you want \0xfc displayed as ü,
cat test.py python test.py ls -l
#!/usr/local/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
f=open('\xfc','w')
f.close()
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael wheel 29 9 Nov 02:43 test.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael wheel 0 9 Nov 02:44 ü
here is what works for me:
in my login class in /etc/login.conf:
:charset=ISO-8859-1:\
:lang=de_DE.ISO8859-1:\
``cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf'' after changes
in /etc/rc.conf:
scrnmap=iso-8859-1_to_cp437
font8x8=cp850-8x8
font8x14=cp850-8x14

Get list of ethernet devices
Moin, I'm setting up a system on an external USB drive, serving as fallback in case of a server failure: Customer takes USB drive, plugs it into any of his PCs and boots of it. Now I am looking for a good method to configure the network: I could just start dhclient on any NIC which could possibly be there, thus cramming rc.conf with ifconfig_em0=DHCP ifconfig_em1=DHCP ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP and so on. Or I could grep ifconfig or dmesg output for ethernet interfaces and dhclient these. Both sound like a very messy solution. So I would step beyond my current area of expertise, grep some source from sysinstall, bsdinstall or somewhere and do it in C. But I'm kind of hoping anybody can point me to a readymade solution yet unknown to me.

UFS journal size
Quoting the manpage: -s jsize Specifies size of the journal if only one provider is used for both data and journal. The default is one gigabyte. Size should be chosen based on provider's load, and not on its size; recommended minimum is twice the size of the physical memory installed. It is not recommended to use gjournal for small file systems (e.g.: only few gigabytes big). My question is: if I have 4 or 8 GB of RAM should I create 8 or even 16 GB journals?.. This seems huge especially if the fs size without journal is only 10 gigs.

Before, ive been an Debian/OpenBSD guy, and ive only used my obsd box for redundant firewalls and networking. Ive not been running any services off the boxen. The reason I decided to go for FreeBSD is because of the Jails. Ive looked around a bit, but I can not find anything about how to limit what interfaces that ifconfig shows. I would like it to hide pretty much everything so that _no_ information about the host systems networking leaks into the jails. I dont want jails to know anything but their IP-numbers and which computer to use for DNS lookups, essentially. Is there any good text out there that describes how to do this? Ive searched a bit for it, but Ive been unable to find anything but the basics. Maybe you can remove the ifconfig binary from the jail. Works for me.

So, I know why the script cannot be found...because vgc sysinstall is removing it. sysinstall basically does a chroot into the newly installed root after doing the installcommit, and then remounts the installation source as /dist (not quite true, you can mount other sources at this time, but always to /dist). After the installcommit, you basically are now at a normal freebsd installation (ie: /usr/bin and the like are available). You lose access to your original mfsroot distribution at this point.

Re: Support for AIX
Make doesn't handle source code, it just control's the actual build process so you don't have to type hundreds of cc . lines in a console. Have you tried contacting the current maintainers of DCE for advice? Maybe a bit of googling Have you tried verifying the Makefile's format using the -n switch ???
