FreeBSD Security in Multiuser Environments

2012-03-30 Thread schultz
Hello, I would like to raise a discussion about the security features of FreeBSD as a whole and how they might be employed to actually derive some meaningful guarantees. I have found myself administering a system with many potentially untrusted users. Furthermore, some users do not trust some

Dedicated pointing device for a Xephyr instance

Hi, I have a Xorg server (x11-servers/xorg-server) running receiving input from a synaptics touchpad at /dev/psm0. I would like to run a Xephyr (x11-servers/xephyr) instance in this server that would take input from a different, dedicated pointing device, in this case a USB mouse at /dev/ums0.

Backup with mtree and rsync?

2013-01-05 Thread schultz
I have been wondering whether it is possible to create a backup system using mtree and rsync. Essentially, the user would create a mtree specification of the source directory and copy it over to the destination directory with rsync. Any changes in the destination could then be detected before
