Samba+ACLs, CURRENT or STABLE?
Hi all, I plan to setup a Samba fileserver with ACLs as a Windows domain controller. First I tried with Linux, but I am afraid ACLs are not wonderfully supported by it (you have to patch some core tools etc.). So I thougt I try it with FreeBSD. 5.x seems good for this task, since it supports ACLs out of the box. Now my problem is, that I want to use this server in a production environment, but on freebsd.org I see CURRENT should not be used for such machines. So my question, what to do now? Are ACLs for Samba supported on STABLE as well, or is it safe to use CURRENT? Greetings and TIA, Matthias -- Burns: Oh, quit cogitating, Steinmetz, and use an open-faced club! A sand wedge!

how to enable del key under bash?
Hi all, I am using FreeBSD 4.10, working under bash. I use keymap german.iso, and everything works fine, no problems with deadkeys or similar. Only thing is, I can't use the del key. When I type a string in console, use home to get to first char and then hit del to delete this first char, I get a tilde (~) insted of earasing the character. Any ideas on this?

how to convert a non-RAID system to RAID1?
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD 4.10 server running on one IDE disk. Now I installed a 2nd disk which I want to use for RAID1 together with first disk. My question is: How can I convert this setup to a software RAID1, without rebooting the machine or something like that. Is this even possible? I know this isn't much work under Linux, but since I just started with FreeBSD, I wanted to ask you guys before I play with this production machine... ;) Hope you can help me and point me to the right directions! I've allready read vinum handbook on freebsd.org, but I am not sure how to convert an existing non-RAID system to RAID1.

where to find security updates?
Hi all, I am somewhat new to FreeBSD, and so not 100% used to this ports and portaudit system. My daily sec. output says, that my installed mod_php4-4.3.8_2 has two vulnerabilities. So I did an cvsup /root/ports-supfile and a make search=mod_php4 afterwards. But I can only see mod_php4-4.3.6 now, which does not look like an update to mod_php4-4.3.8_2. Now my question is: How should/can I update mod_php4, if there is no update available? Greetings and TIA, Matthias -- Homer: No TV and No Beer Make Homer ... something something. Marge: Go crazy?

how to change daily run output's subject line?

how to update XFree libs?
Hi all, today I noticed a security issue with XFree86 libs in my daily sec. mailing from one of my servers, so I updated my ports collection via cvsup /root/ports-supfile (ports-all).

Re: FreeBSD 4.10: slow ssh
-- quoting Mari Cariapa -- It takes about 15 seconds which normally should just take 2-3 seconds. Any idea on how I can fix this? That's normal, if your ssh server can't resolve client's IP address to a valid host name (= reverse DNS lookup). You have two options: 1.) Ask your provider to setup your reverse DNS correctly for your IP 2.) use UseDNS no option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd HTH!

how to update system time?
Hi all, first: hello to all FreeBSD users out there ;) After using Linux for several years, I want to try out FreeBSD for some of my servers now. I am coming from Gentoo Linux, so I am somewhat used to the ports system... Ok, now to my first question: I am setting up my 2nd FreeBSD box now. On my first test machine I installed rdate (instead of ntpdate); I can update system time w/o problems there. But when I try to update system time on the 2nd box now, I get no errors from rdate, but my time and date is not updated afterwards. When I try it with ntpdate (with same time server), I get the following error: 6 Sep 15:22:01 ntpdate[330]: no server suitable for synchronization found I set my local time via /stand/sysinstall to my local timezone (Austria), CEST. With rdate, I get the right date and time, but as said my system date and time is not updated, it stays around two hours behind... Sorry if this is maybe a dumb question, but I really have no idea left where the problem could be (because this works wonderful on the other FreeBSD test machine).

-- quoting Shantanoo -- Is the computer properly networked? can it ping yahoo.com? Yeah it is properly networked. I am connected via SSH now.

Re: how to update system time?
-- quoting Bill Moran -- Is your securelevel set very high? A high securelevel will prevent drastic changes to the system clock (although I don't remember what is specifically considered drastic) ok, a look into man securelevel gave the answer: in kernel securelevel 2 or higher time changes are restricted to = 1 sec. Thanks for your tip! Since I am coming from Linux I had no idea of this kernel securelevels ... cool thing btw. ;) Thanks to all of you for your quick help!
