FreeBSD on Motorola Droid RAZR i ... Intel Atom ... workable ?
The Motorola Droid RAZR i (a variant of the RAZR m) has an intel atom z2460 processor in it. Unless I am mistaken, this is an amd64 compatible chip that mainline FreeBSD could run on, yes ?

Best approach to jails + zfs
Hi, I wanted to have the point of view of the community on the best approach in order to handle a quite large system with couple of jails (shouldn't have more than 5 to 10). Whole system is based on zfs. I'll use this as a backup server. I have been using the handbook approach so far. It is quite stable but the linked directories inside each jail is quite error prone and may be confusing. With this approach you can update all your jails at once… this is quite tempting, but if you have an error… all your jails are gone at once ! == you can't afford to have a kernel compile problem while updating your system or you're dead !! http://www.freebsd.org/doc//handbook/jails-build.html The other approach that I have found is to use create a base jail system using sysinstall and then zfs snapshot to clone It. You then use this to create a jail. You end up with couple of independent jails which are not linked to each other in any way. You can / need to update each jail one by one. http://vocalbit.com/article/402/freebsd-jails-using-zfs-and-bsdinstall • I wanted to know if the handbook approach is still the most recent one considering the latest progress in FBSD jail management ? • I wanted to know if you had some mixed approach that can leverage the risk of the handbook approach ? • Last but not least - do you have any good pointer to recent guide / howto / studies on the subject ?

You might like the sysutils/ezjail port - I use it for a very similar purpose and find it works well. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith st...@sohara.org I am a bit skeptical on the third party script approach. How stable has It been ? I have been using warden with PC-BSD TrueOS for testing and I have encountered all sorts of problems (not stable when you have two pools of disks - can't delete jail…)… Quite interesting approach, but not mature enough to be launched in production. I have finally gotten back to the FreeBSD root file system which I am using since couple of years now. It is not fancy, It does not provide script to ease your pain… But you understand what you are doing and It does what you tell him to do !! ZFS has introduced a new challenge, but now that I have understood (more or less) how It is working, I found It really great! Just trying to figure out the best way to use both Jail + ZFS. But I might re-consider my position… Does ezjail comply with the latest FreeBSD 9 / 9.1 advances in jail / ZFS management improvement ?

9.1-R and garbage on the console
Hello. I installed 9.1-R amd64 on a flash drive and boot off it to do remote ZFS backups. Booting and the text console screen, including the other alt-f? consoles, work fine at this point. A few minutes into the ZFS receive my console turns into blocky garbage: http://imgur.com/y8kWR . The system is not crashed and works fine via SSH. The box's mainboard (GA-E7AUM-DS2H) has Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics. It appears to me that the RAM shared with the video card is overwritten/corrupted. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Compatible Wi-Fi card mini PCI-Express

Best solution to install zfs on root for FBSD 9
Hi, I would like to know if there is an official howto that could help me in the process of installing zfs on root. I will need a raid 1 configuration and plan to use the whole disks to be part of the pool. How far can we go with the installer ? Do I have to use gpart ? What is best way to achieve this ?

I then used PF to redirect DNS queries to this jail. I don't want the IP to be redirected, I would like the jail to have It's own IP.

Whats the difference between password+RSA, and password-protected RSA ?
Let's say I'd like to add a small amount of extra security to my SSH login process. Let's say I decide the way I want to do this is by requiring BOTH a password and an RSA key. There appear to be patches, or procedures, that allow me to do this. So to log in, I would be required to enter a normal unix password, but I would ALSO be required to hold a proper RSA public key. My question is this: In terms of security (and correctness ?) what's the difference between this (unix password + SSH RSA key) and simply generating my RSA key *with* a password ? Both ways require me to have something and know something, but they are obviously different, technically. Comments on the difference, and relative security of the two methods ? ___ 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

Problems with EFI / partitioning with FreeBSD ONLY mac mini ... from USB drive ...
I booted the 8.2-RELEASE CD on my Intel mac mini, which has a thumb drive plugged into USB. I promptly entered FIXIT and used dd to zero out the ENTIRE internal hard drive. I may use it, I may not, but for now I want to reduce variables and I don't want remnants of OSX on that disk tripping me up. I exited FIXIT and proceeded with a plain old install of FreeBSD 8.2 onto the thumb drive, which was seen as da0. Upon rebooting, I see a folder icon with a question mark inside of it, blinking on the screen. The mac mini cannot see an OS to boot. I have tried to solve this by: - same as above, but plain old loader instead of FreeBSD boot manager. Both failed - During install, in FDISK, using the T option to change the type to 238 Still failing. Any idea what the missing part of this recipe is ? NOTE: I see something of an answer here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-September/027585.html But I do not know how to put a dummy MBR there even if using GPT layout ... so if that is the answer, some additional details, please :) Just trying to boot FreeBSD, and only FreeBSD, off of the thumb drive plugged into a mac mini with no other disks.

Resetting bootloader on a CF
Hi, I am trying to reset the bootloader of a pfSense nanoBSD CF card. I need the boot loader to be reset because The embedded image set the bootloader to use a serial console. That isn't necessary with the box I am trying to use (the BIOS does console redirection to the serial port for you) and causes the boot to hang. Part of the solution seems to be : 1. Mount the CF on a FBSD 2. Initialize the bootloader with : # fdisk -B /dev/disk 3. This is where I need you help… How can I re-install a boot loader ? Should I use the command : # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device Any other suggestion, guidance will be welcome. Thanks for your support. P.S. I'll check your answer in 10+ hours as I am already tired and It is 11.45 pm in Paris where I leave. ;-) - thanks for your understanding. –– - Grégory Bernard Director - --- www.osnet.eu --- -- Your provider of OpenSource appliances -- –– OSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetOSnetO ___ 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: trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running
Reducing the color depth to 16 allows the wimpy Rage XL (8 MiB) to do 1920x1080. So then I moved the old slow X terminal out of the way and moved the shiny new Dell ST2220T LCD into the prime spot in front of the keyboard drawer... ...and the cable doesn't reach. Two HD-15 to BNC cables back-to-back fixed that, but now it doesn't do the DCC/EDID stuff, so I had to get it to use a modeline to get 1920x1080. And of course it doesn't go into standby mode. sigh Still have some minor issues like finding a decent font for xterm, and putting a window at +0+0 hides a few pixels off-screen, and FreeBSD can't tell the difference between a Unix keyboard and a pee-cee keyboard, but it is usable.

Re: trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running
Have you tried: $ xset +dpms to use standby etc.? xset: unknown option +dpms I assume it needs more than the 5 coaxes to do dpms. (It did appear to be working with the short cable that came with the monitor.) Font for xterm: x11-fonts/inconsolata-ttf I installed package inconsolata-ttf-20090215.tbz caching, new cache contents: 24 fonts, 0 dirs /var/db/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory fc-cache: succeeded xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF xset fp rehash xterm -fn -*-inconsolata-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* xterm: cannot load font -*-inconsolata-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* also xfontsel acts screwy if I select inconsolata. The sample doesn't get updated, and it starts acting like it needs backing store but doesn't have it. If I then select some other family, then xfontsel starts acting normally again. Pixels off screen: x11/xvidtune and show modeline once adjusted and stick it in xorg.conf That was easy, thanks! ___ 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: Attempting to get an X11 server running
That is incorrect. Don't set AllowEmptyInput, just turn off AutoAddDevices. http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html I reduced the config file to: Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured # Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDevice Mouse0 CorePointer InputDevice Keyboard0 CoreKeyboard Option AutoAddDevices Off EndSection Section Module Disable record EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 EndSection and now the mouse works as expected. After more debugging, got it to see the keysymdb and now the keyboard works as well. Thank you!

trying for 1920x1080 was: Re: Attempting to get an X11 server running
Now to see if I can get this wimpy rage xl to do 1920x1080. Please don't mess with modelines, it should not be needed any more. Just set the resolutions desired in the Screen/Display section. If modelines are really required, get them out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But they almost certainly are not. Though if you *really* wanted to, there's cvt(1): The cvt utility helpfully created a couple of modelines which I think should work, but Xorg doesn't appear to use it. I know it sees it, because if I put in a typo it complains. :-) But the modelines don't appear in the log file, even with Option ModeDebug and -logverbose 100. I do get these: (II) MACH64(0): Modeline 1920x1080x0.0 148.50 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz) (II) MACH64(0): Modeline 1920x1080x60.0 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -hsync +vsync (67.1 kHz) but it doesn't use them: (II) MACH64(0): default monitor: Using hsync range of 30.00-83.00 kHz (II) MACH64(0): default monitor: Using vrefresh range of 56.00-76.00 Hz (II) MACH64(0): default monitor: Using maximum pixel clock of 170.00 MHz (II) MACH64(0): Estimated virtual size for aspect ratio 1.7778 is 1920x1080 (II) MACH64(0): Maximum clock: 124.00 MHz [ ... ] (II) MACH64(0): Not using driver mode 1920x1080 (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) MACH64(0): Not using driver mode 1280x1024 (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) MACH64(0): Not using driver mode 1920x1080 (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (WW) MACH64(0): Shrinking virtual size estimate from 1920x1080 to 1400x1050 (--) MACH64(0): Virtual size is 1400x1050 (pitch 1408) (**) MACH64(0): *Default mode 1400x1050: 122.0 MHz, 64.9 kHz, 60.0 Hz (II) MACH64(0): Modeline 1400x1050x60.0 122.00 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1052 1064 1082 +hsync +vsync (64.9 kHz) What is this 124.00 MHz clock?

Attempting to get an X11 server running
FreeBSD 8.2 packages: packages-8.2-release amd64 ATI Rage XL Dell ST2220T (1920x1080) Xorg -configure generates an xorg.conf file that somehow puts it into 1280x1024 mode and the monitor refuses to use it. I haven't found a way to get the full modeline info for whatever it is actually putting out. xdpyinfo just gives the resolution, not the timing data. I have not found a way to force it to use a modeline of my choosing, it appariently just ignores modelines added to the config file. Xorg puts it into 1400x1050 and the monitor accepts it. I can start a window manager and start an xterm window (from another terminal). But it does not listen to the keyboard or mouse. dbus seems to run ok, no errors observed. hald starts up but complains and dies: hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [E] ck-tracker.c:376: Error doing GetSeats on ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [E] ck-tracker.c:820: Could not get seats and sessions hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [W] hald_dbus.c:5881: Could not initialize seats and sessions from ConsoleKit google found http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?p=27601 which suggests using moused instead of hald. moused runs, but I think I have to get Xorg to use a config file to set Option AllowEmptyInput off Option AutoAddDevices off so that it will work without hald. Question 1: why does Xorg -configure create a config file that doesn't work the same way as just running Xorg ? Question 2: how do I get a usable config file? Question 3: how do I get complete modeline info for what it is currently running? Question 4: how do I force it to use a specific modeline?

ESS (extended service set) configuration for FBSD
Hello, I wanted to know what is the best way to build an ESS (extended service set aka group of Access Points) using FreeBSD. Knowing that we are looking at the classic features of such network: 1. Couple of AP's configured with the same SSID 2. Authentication 3. Security 4. Roaming between AP's 5. Communication between stations in the same ESS The main problem to solve seems to be related to IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) aka 802.11f It is not very clear to me in which stage we are with this protocol and It's implementation… What would you advice ? How would you proceed ?

Sticky bit Change ??
Hello all, Thank you for your response in advance. I am running i386 FreeBSD 7.2 p4 on an HP DL380 G2. I upgraded from 6.1 p23 in March but the machine was built last fall. I am not at liberty to upgrade the machine due to its purpose. However I agree it is time. I had been using sticky bits set on directories to allow groups of users to upload files but making sure only the file or directory owner could modify the file. The directory owner would retrieve the file and delete it. It seems that my later release no longer allows the directory owner to manipulate (delete) the files. This functioned in the earlier release. The documentation sees to be at odds. The current Freebsd Handbook claims that only the file owner is allowed to manipulate a file loaded in the directory where the sticky bit is set. However, in the man pages, sticky(8) claims that root, the directory owner, and the file owner are allowed to manipulate (write/delete) the file. It appears that I have found a bug in documentation or code. Can you tell me where the issue is, code or documentation?If this is a conscious change by the project, can you suggest an alternate method to achieve the functionality? I apologize if I missed documentation that describes this as a change.

Global backup solution for FBSD Ubuntu
Hello, I am trying to build a global backup solution for couple of strategic servers (7) based on two operating systems : - FreeBSD (6 - 7 // soon 7 - 8) - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS These servers are hosting some strategic components mainly related to DNS infrastructure and databases. For the moment I am backing up these server using network based backup solution: - A duplicity based solution which backs up key directories in my infrastructure on a remote FTP server provided by my hosting company. - A dump of some key components which I am doing on regular basis for FreeBSD servers. - Duplicity is also used for the Ubuntu servers. - Databases are replicated live on a remote server using slony for the most strategic ones (Postgres DB) and using mysql dump export for MySQL. • I am not a 100% sure these solutions will allow me to restart rapidly from a crash, specially for Ubuntu servers. • I would like to know which solution(s) you have deployed at what cost for what results ? I am actually considering couple of different solutions - SAIT solution and backula. - Disk based solution (maybe also with backula). … I have couple of servers that will reach their end of life that could be recycled as backup solution at a very convenient price… Thanks for you help.

Re: iphone, freebsd, vpn
A good idea would be to use pfsense It is an excellent firewall based on FreeBSD, freely available here http://www.pfsense.org/ Then you can choose whatever you want as a VPN solution… You would have an optimized kernel (for firewalling) a simple interface to do all related install. A dedicated community with lots of network guru… I would tend to use IPSec rather that L2TP or PPTP because It is more secure. A good solution would also be OpenVPN (but surely not for the Iphone).

Depends on what you have and what you want to restore. Is the reason for the restore because the old disk went belly up? Or did you just nuke some stuff accidently. Is the restore the boot disk or an extra work disk? Well, to tell you the truth: I am using a remote backup solution since 2.5 years and the provider has just told me that he would no longer support my hardware so I need to rebuild a new server based on my previous config In the first case, yes you will need to create something on the disk - some sort of filesystem. Probably that would mean using a fixit image to boot and do an fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8) and newfs(8). Ok, I think the server I will install that on might use some sort of virtual KVM that could allow me to do that It the second case, the filesystem[s] is[are] still intact and you only need to do an 'interactive' restore of just the files you want. IF you are doing an intereactive restore and if you have room, it may be easiest to copy the whole dump file over to some big space on the system and run the restore from that copy. Then you can just ssh in and run it just as if it was setting beside you. The same might not be true if you are replacing a destroyed disk because the restore will be a complete one and no file selecting will be necessary. If you cannot get physical contact with the machine, and the disk was damaged and replaced, you may have to learn how to do a network boot and install. I have never had to do that so am not a good one to guide that process. Well my idea was to rebuild the new server based on the dump I have realised (in order to save me the time to do the reinstall). But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy In either case of having to create slices, partitions and filesystems, you do not have to do a complete system install. You need to do just enough building to have the filesystems created and mountable. Yes but how should I partition that ? Should I re-create the / /var /usr /tmp or / with minimal system and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice. The fixit is just fine for that. If you can get that going remotely, then do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s from that and then restore from the dump to the new filesystems. Ok, that should be the good path Forget about doing a real install. Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ? It just has to be large enough to hold what you restore. In fact, it is a good time to increase or adjust filesystem sizes if you have more room on the replacement disk. Good Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ? You can use rsh(1). I have done that. Probably some specific ssh method too, but I am so old I haven't done one with that new fangled secure ssh yet... Ok. Thanks. jerry Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome. Thanks. P.S.

I haven't tried It so I don't know what functionnality It offers… But I guess I might start a fresh install from that console… At which point should I do the restore(8) in the install process ? It the second case, the filesystem[s] is[are] still intact and you only need to do an 'interactive' restore of just the files you want. IF you are doing an intereactive restore and if you have room, it may be easiest to copy the whole dump file over to some big space on the system and run the restore from that copy. Then you can just ssh in and run it just as if it was setting beside you. The same might not be true if you are replacing a destroyed disk because the restore will be a complete one and no file selecting will be necessary. If you cannot get physical contact with the machine, and the disk was damaged and replaced, you may have to learn how to do a network boot and install. I have never had to do that so am not a good one to guide that process. Well my idea was to rebuild the new server based on the dump I have realised (in order to save me the time to do the reinstall). But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy I am not clear again just what you are meaning by 'based on the dump I have realised'. Do you mean that you would keep the filesystem structure you have already? IS there a dump file/tape for each filesystem in the old system? Dump is stored on a remote HD. There is one dump file per partition (not for /tmp). If that is what you mean, good. There is no harm in keeping the old filesystem structure if it was working for you. Take a look at how much is used in each filesystem and think if you need to change the size. But, that is just a detail of sizing the partitions and not a critical structure consideration. If the new system has larger disk, then you can make use of it just by making bigger partitions where they are needed. Ok. In either case of having to create slices, partitions and filesystems, you do not have to do a complete system install. You need to do just enough building to have the filesystems created and mountable. Yes but how should I partition that ? Should I re-create the / /var /usr /tmp or / with minimal system and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice. Create what you want it to be and go from there unless the old and the new structure are incompatible in some way. My usual set of partitions/filesystems are: / swap /tmp /usr /var /home or other convenient name such as /bighome /work if there is a lot of extra space on the new disk and you don't want it clumped in with the rest for some reason. I usually put all the rest in that /bighome filesystem. If I have an extra disk with lots of space, I make that /work But, if your structure is working for you, stick with it. The fixit is just fine for that. If you can get that going remotely, then do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s from that and then restore from

If possible I would like a bullet proof solution ideally well known | tested and available from the port tree. There are several avenues available even with the tools in the base system. One of those is to use dump(8), assuming you are using UFS filesystems, of course. Make regular dumps (of different levels), compress them using bzip2(1), encrypt the compressed dumpfiles using openssl(1) (do _not_ use crypt(1)!) and use ftp(1) to transfer them to the hosting company. Another way is to use mtree(8). You can use this to generate a file containing the state of a filesystem hierarchy. Running it against a previously saved specification can yield a list of files that have changed. Use tar and bzip2 to create an archive of the files that have changed. Encrypt and send same as above. All these programs come with the base system, you would just need to script them.

Proxy to filter peer to peer connexion on port 80

Hello, I was looking for an efficient way to reinstall (recompile due to an update in the perl port) all installed p5 ports… I have done that manually, but I am certain there is a better way to do that… I have tried: # portmaster -rdf p5- But that didn't work as I had to re-install all ports… Thanks for your help.

7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology
Hello I have updated my server (Intel Modular server) using the classical # freebsd-update install And I am now facing very weired issues only on amd64 servers I am maintaining. Servers boots and then freezes when It launch ipfilter. This is not a low level freeze, simply all access to the server are disabled. - Single user boot does not work. - SSH access does not work either. These servers were working perfectly before this update… --- What would you suggest to get out of this situation… 1. Rollback to the 7.0-RELEASE-p5 which was stable and worked well. -- If so how can I access the server knowing that single user mode does not work? -- Can you describe me the stages I would have to go through - I am not very used to this kind of situations. 2. Deactivate ipfilter (is there a way to do that at boot time without editing /etc/rc.conf ) ? 3. Deactivate all services at boot time (is there a way of bypassing at boot time the rc.conf file) ?

Re: 7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology
Hello, I think you all deserve a clear information about what has been going on today. After the update of all servers to P-6 - the server could not be booted normaly - in fact they did boot but after that they didn't get back with the prompt… So I ended up in a dead end. As I was working last weeks with the engineers that helped me setup the hardware (and as Intel didn't have a right guideline specifying that TCP ports needed to be opened) - I have ended up mofidying a little parameter in /boot/loader.conf that was aimed to redirect the console to vidconsole comconsole. This little parameter seems to have caused a conflict with the KVM of intel which probably uses the same redirect or blocked us from receiving the output (even from ssh). It took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on as I suspected other problems to have happened. This has all the symptoms of a system freeze, but services were launched (at least some of them)… I have found the solution by booting using a low level prompt that has allowed me to pass the parameter set console=comconsole and all went back to normal. Quite firghtening, but finaly armless.

Moving to freebsd firewall for a small DataCenter network
Hello, I have been using FreeBSD for many years as a server and have based most of my hosting services on this fantastic OS. Since three years I have been using SonicWall firewall as a firewall device. As my hosting services are growing, It seems that the SonicWall device is quite light for what I am doing. I have now 10 servers hosted on one uniq /28 network with direct connexion to the Net. I was wondering if there is a good if possible integrated firewall device running on FreeBSD. I have deployed local firewall on each of my servers based on ipf. Works great, but I am not sure I want to dig all the time into a file based config, little visual interface could ease my pain… (of course this is optional). I would like something quite strong but simple that I could deploy on a small 1U server or dedicated device. Any pointer / howto / feed back on experience will be most welcome. Something similar to this could be nice: http://www.untangle.com/ Thanks for your support.

Freebsd inspiron mini 9
Hi folks, Does anyone knows if the latest mini Dell computer will be compatible with our favorite system? http://www.cio-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=61697 From what I can read It is based on: - a Processeur Intel® AtomTM (1,6 GHz, memory cache L2 de 512 Ko, FSB de 533 MHz) - Chipset Intel® 965PM / GM Express It can be shipped with Ubuntu. So my simple question is: will It be compatible with FreeBSD 7.x ?? I know the hardware list here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/hardware.html#PROC-I386 but no link to either Atom or 965PM could be found… Is it bad news doctor?

Re: Deinstalling X and all dependencies[SOLVED]
I have opted for the: pkg_delete -a Which has done a great job cleaning everything. Only had to make clean in one of the port directory to properly recompile all needed apps. As I had configured root to use /usr/local/bin/bash had to take care to change that with vipw before doing the uninstall / reinstall. Took me half a day for three servers… But at least I have a very clean install with 30 ports instead of 250 !! Thanks everybody for your wise answers.

FreeBSD provides a base system with software such as a SSH daemon, Sendmail, BIND, etc. You can uninstall all the packages on your system, but the FreeBSD base system will still remain. This allows FreeBSD to boot normally without any packages installed. I recommend you uninstall all packages (with 'pkg_delete -a', or 'pkg_delete -av' if you want to watch all the files being deleted), then install only what you need from the Ports tree. Your DNS server should probably not require any packages to be installed, as DNS server software (BIND) is provided with the FreeBSD base system. But that really depends what your requirements are.

Re: dump and remote file fetching
What I do : Allow ssh access only using key PubkeyAuthentication yes Allow root access Create a root ssh Pubkey Automate the access using any script based on ssh… If you want to be more restrictive, you can deploy a firewall localy on your server and limit ssh access to one or more selected IPs.

All I need now is a way to copy them from the server to a remote backup machine. The problem I am facing is that bz2 files are owned by root:wheel. So if I use scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/*.bz2, it does not have sufficient permissions to fetch the files.

Take that for a spin and see how it works for you I have taken a look at rsnapshot but it seems I am left to deal with the same problem: From their page: In addition to full paths on the local filesystem, you can also backup remote systems using rsync over ssh. If you have ssh installed and enabled (via the cmd_ssh parameter), you can specify a path like: backup [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/ example.com/ This behaves fundamentally the same way, but you must take a few extra things into account. a/ The ssh daemon must be running on example.com b/ You must have access to the account you specify the remote machine, in this case the root user on example.com. I do not allow remote root login so what are my options in that case? How do you deal with such a scenario?
