It was a long time ago and I've forgotten the specifics. I guess if you're using it your new to this particular game, so please excuse me pointing out a few basics here. We use Ezjail not because it's easy or because we're new to jails, I think you might be confused on what EzJail actually is and why people use it. We use it because we manage a private cloud exclusively based on FBSD with about a dozen servers with a couple dozen jails each. I use EzJail because it allows us to manage just shy of 300 separate environments with only a couple of sysadmins, and with optimized system resources. We use it because IT ROCKS. Although I can't exactly see how this would cause a problem, remember that many service will bind to ALL IP addresses when they start up, and if they [...] I can't see a mechanism that would get the results you're seeing, but I don't know what ezjail might be doing. I suspect your problem is with ezjail or something bizzare on your network config; can you try it manually? After my OP I immediately sent out second mail stating that the problem is not with Jails or EzJail and it's related to the way that aliases behave on a network interface card. When you have aliases that are on the same subnet, the source IP is the primary IP , that is the first IP set on that network device. You can test this with out jails with a simple ssh connection to another server and then typing who. Even if you force ssh to bind to a particular IP using -b it will still show the primary IP. If you have aliases on different subnets this will not happen. I don't think that's true though in the case of jails. On the host system, yes, but when a jail is bound to a particular IP, outbound connections originate from that bound IP. At least they do for me in all of my experience. Still wondering if you're using NAT with your jails, as that could change things. (FWIW, we use ezjail as well. It doesn't do anything special except make having lots of jails easy and lightweight.)

In the past, the proper way to update a system was to grab current sources via cvsup and then rebuild world and kernel. But now I see cvsup is no longer supported. The handbook talks about freebsd-update. I do not want binary upgrades but is this the tool to replace cvsup to update sources? How do I use it to replace the old way that went something like this: cvsup sources make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel mergemaster make installworld Instead cvsup you have to use svn to retrieve the sources : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html The good way is (and was) mergemaster -p before make installworld and mergemaster after. regards ___ 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: Firewall, blocking POP3
See /usr/ports/security/py-fail2ban (http://www.fail2ban.org/). Used in conjunction with FreeBSD's ipfw or pf firewall facility, you can ban an attacking IP address for a set period of time after a configurable amount of failed attempts. Fail2ban watches your log files for you and then triggers some sort of action -- which can really be anything you can conceive of.

Re: question about milter software
I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be completely processed and separated into respective parts, and then once the rich part is found, you've got to parse the HTML and insert the footer into the right spot, and then recompile the message. And if the message is plain text only, you can't insert HTML and have it be displayed as such. In short, I doubt you'll have much success in doing this well. It would be better to configure this in the email client and lock that down somehow.

Usage of '@cwd' and '@srcdir' in a package list
All, Need a little direction on package creation. This issue is hitting me on both 8.0, 8.2 and 9.0 FreeBSD (amd64) releases. I'm trying to create a package using pkg_create with the intention of installing under /usr/local. However, my build environment is private (not under /usr/ports or /usr/src) and I *do not* install before creating the package file. My problem is that if I have the following in my package list file - @cwd /usr/local @srcdir . ... relative filepaths ... The the pkg_create fails with tar complaining about not being able to source the files, even though I invoke pkg_create at the top of the subtree and the files are relative to my current working directory. I have also tried the '-s `pwd`' option to pkg_create as well, with no success. Removing the @cwd line allows the package to be built. Reading the man page it states @srcdir directory Set the internal directory pointer for _creation only_ to directory. That is to say that it overrides @cwd for package creation but not extraction. Which seems to be what I want but why is it not overriding? Any pointers are welcomed.

BIOS configuration for a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and i7 Intel processor

I currently have the HDD connected to the ICH10R. My first question is simply confirmation of what my googling seems to have turned up - that this controller is supported by FreeBSD. 2nd question, the BIOS setup lists this controller mode as IDE and the other possible values are - IDE = Disables RAID for this SATA controller, configures the controller in IDE mode RAID = Enables RAID for this SATA controller AHCI = Configures the SATA controller to Advanced Host Controller Interface mode to support enabled advanced Serial ATA commands such as Native Command Queuing and Hot plug.

Command which does not work anymore?
Hello, I'm using 9.0 and the command below does not work, as far I remember that worked fine with 8.2: The goal is to copy an usb image from an OpenBSD host to an usb key on my desktop via ssh. On openbsd: # cat ucop2.img | ssh patrick@xx dd of=/dev/da0 bs=10M dd: /dev/da0: Invalid argument 0+5 records in 0+4 records out 81920 bytes transferred in 0.107747 secs (760299 bytes/sec) With a file that works: # cat ucop2.img | ssh patrick@xx dd of=ucop2.img bs=10M and then a dd to the key works fine. And yes /dev/da0 is writable by all: # ls -la /dev/da0* crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator0, 132 5 déc 09:45 /dev/da0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator0, 133 5 déc 09:45 /dev/da0s4 There are some kernel messages on the FreeBSD box but I think this is harmless because this is an OpenBSD partition: GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (da0s4, BSD) Any clue?

Re: Whats the difference between password+RSA, and password-protected RSA ?
In the case of a passphrase-protected RSA key, the server knowsnothing about it, so you would never be able to enforce that. It's onthe client side that the key is decrypted with the passphrase beforesubmitting it to the server.

(8.2) amd64 + linuxulator + nvidia driver is it stable ?
Hi, I've got a new box running 8.2-stable with amd64 + linuxulator + nvidia driver. Quite often when watching video on youtube the box freeze (no panic). Are there some known problems with this kind of configuration on amd64? (Works fine on my old laptop using 8.2/i386) I don't know where is problem, but one time the machine crashed just after a pkill of npviewer.bin (they were in the futex state), so it could be the linuxulator? Thanks, regards. ___ 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

I've previously reported this to freebsd-emul and probably freebsd-stable, but nobody has been able to consistently create the issue so far. At one point it was happening often enough and I was getting so tired of fscking I moved my drive to mostly ZFS so I could boot up in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks Mark. Did you try the latest Nvidia driver (not in the ports yet : 270.41.06)? Looks a lot of better here (usualy the box freezes after only one or two videos) My graphic card is a GeForce GTX 460: vgapci0: VGA-compatible display port 0xbc00-0xbc7f mem 0xf400-0xf5ff,0xe800-0xefff,0xe400-0xe7ff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 nvidia0: GeForce GTX 460 on vgapci0 vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io nvidia0: [ITHREAD] pciconf: vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x086510de chip=0x0e2210de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' class = display subclass = VGA Well if I still have crash, I will try with a 32 bits version.
