 Guys,

 Thanks to Matthew Seaman, my named.conf is that much closer to being

 that the following log entry winds up in my messages log.

 I've googled until my fingers are falling off: no resolution.  Yes,

 to get rid of the following?

whats this have to do with freebsd questions?
You seem to have a bad habit of spamming the mailing list with mundane BS.

 Subject: Long Day's Journey into Bleep


 Well, people,

 It's been a long, long century.  I've been down for 5 days.
 Couldn't understand _why_ I couldn't ping anywhere [expect the
 Server itself].  Finally, tho, it became more and more likely that
 my FreeBSD was fine ... even tho I kept stripping the most likely
 problem points.  My large 16-port LinkSys router was either *it* or
 it was some kind of bug unknown to geekdom.  After a friend bought
 me a new (and tiny) 8-port switch, yes!  I could ping everywhere.

 I'm still bringing back the dozens of things I removed from ethic.
 And testing new ideas.  But I have a general question: have any of
 you wizards who run your own domains or otherwise use a switch [or
 hub] *ever* had it just-quit?!  It is solid-state.  Yes, the box is
 within my feet/foot reach.  I have accidently kicked it i suppose,
 but still.

 After wandering in the wilderness for 5 days, mmph, dunno.

 gary

 PS: yes, this is a serious question.  1) I like things-Cisco, and
 LinkSys.  I just bought this switch about 2.5 years ago, so I really
 am looking for feedback.

 PPS:  Another question to ask about upgrading is next.

  Subject: FreeBSD IPSec stack contains backdoors?
  To: FreeBSD Mailing List freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
 
  Hi folks,
  Recently OpenBSD developer Gregory Perry disclosed information about
  possible backdoors in OpenBSD IPSec stack (see
  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.tech/22557) In particular,
  Gregory Perry, who has been working on a OpenBSD -ish implementation
  of IPSec says a number of backdoors have been introduced into the
  code.
 
  As far as I am aware, FreeBSD contains considerable amount of code
  ported from OpenBSD. The question is: was the FreeBSD's ipsec code
  ported from OpenBSD's implementation? If so, what might be the impact
  of this?
 
  Thanks,
  Victor Lyapunov.

Re: IPFW and Fail2Ban

 I am having an exceedingly hard time finding documentation on Fail2Ban
 on FreeBSD. In fact, documentation on Fail2Ban seems rather sparse to
 begin with.

 In any case, does Fail2Ban work with the IPFW firewall on FreeBSD? Does
 it do it natively, or does it require a special configuration?

 I presently have 'denyhost' up and running. If I get Fail2Ban working
 correctly, I assume I can remove 'denyhost'. Again, I am assuming that
 the two program would interact badly with each other.

Yes it works with freebsd.
You need to specify it in jail.conf
under the the filter you choose; action=ipfw[localhost xxx.xxx.xxx]
configure the ipfw.conf in the action.d directory
a little googling and trial and error and you will get it.

Re: 8.0 installation doesn't contain X distributions

2009-12-10 Thread Mike L
all I gotta say is I just spent 3 days compiling gnome2 for fbsd..
It shouldn't take that long or be that hard/complicated.
Most of it was stupid crap that I would of thought should of been taken care
of by now.
Applications complaining about which version of python is installed,
complaining about needing newer versions of this or that and stopping the
process. Than off to find the proper port to install (and having to use
FORCE PKG REGISTER) to appease the original install. Back to the gnome
install let it run again until the next application configuration screen.
You can't just do a make config in the meta port for the entire process..
That would be too easy..

Last time I did a Xorg installed I just ended up doing a pkg_add because I
grew tired of the problems I kept having with ports griping about this and
that being outdated or whatever. This time I wanted to see the process
through and figure I might learn a thing or two.
I digress though...
My intention with fbsd wasn't for a desktop though; but why install linux to
get a feel for X(org) when we can do it on fbsd? Yet why should it feel like
I'm a circus poodle trying to make it work?

Removing X from the distributions is a right step IMO, these are just
3rd party packages and it seems confusing if they get installed along
with the base system.
 
  I think this is taking base-system-only installation purity to excess.
 
 
  Imagine the following situation: A user wants to run Linux
  applications on FreeBSD. He selects the Linux ABI service
  for startup via sysinstall. The corresponding _enable setting
  will be added to rc.conf, and - surprise! - a package will
  be installed.
 
  The same thing happens when a user installs X. Of course, X
  is not part of the base system, but in the same way that
  sysinstall (down)loads and installs packages when a specific
  service is selected, it should act the same way for X.
  I know that X has become a problematic and very complex
  thing, not just a few packages (as it was in the past
  with XFree86).
 
  X should be installabe in a manner made easy, just like
  the Linux ABI.
 
 
 
 
  In the case of X,
  you and I, developers and most people here know to hunt for the Xorg
  meta-port.
 
 
  The average user intending to run a desktop system won't
  be happy with compiling stuff...
 
 

 Exactly. Most desktop users want a working system in the minimum of time
 (Can't blame them for that).
 Even with packages, we cannot beat an image-based distro, esp. since it
 will also provide all essential default settings.

 
 
  But the naive or new installer knows of no such thing, and
  could beat around in the huge lists of X software for ages, wondering
  what's required and what's not to get a desktop going.
 
 
  Therefore, I always liked the choice for X in sysinstall: It
  basically installed all the components to get X up and running.
  No big trouble getting the correct xorg-driver-* packages,
  installing and removing them, the xorg-input-* packages with
  the same story...
 
 
 
 There is an X.org meta-package that installs everything though. It is
 just a problem with the beginner not knowing what to select. This can be
 tackled in two ways IMO, first is by creating a First time FreeBSD
 desktop installer type article, second would be adding a menu choice in
 sysinstall Install a standard X desktop {GNOME,KDE}. I must admit I
 much prefer the first solution.

Re: One USB drive boots, the other doesn't...

2009-03-06 Thread Mike L
from what I understand it's widely known there is not a standard for
implementing USB bios boot.

I can take a flash drive make it bootable with grub4dos and my board will
not see it.
Take that same drive implement normal grub or syslinux and my board will now
boot that flash drive. Take that bootable flash drive put it in another
board and that board won't boot it unless you change the boot option to USB
floppy... It could just be the board doesn't like the new drive you are
using now.
I could be wrong on all this but that is how I understand it as of now..
You might be able to make a work around by booting to a dos environment and
load USB drivers.
That is unfamiliar territory to me and probably not a work around you wish
to use.



reply to list please reply to is a spam catch.

 There is no indication of that. They mount fine and can be formatted as UFS
 and have files copied to them. They are just basic 4GB USB flash drives, on
 sale at our local Frys. HP brand (but I don't know if someone else is the
 OEM)...
