There are 2 methods for configuring jails.
The legacy method which you put the jail config statements in the hosts
/etc/rc.conf file and start and stop control is done by the hosts
/etc/rc.d/jail script at boot time.
The jail(8) method which has it's own jail config statements in the
hosts /etc/jail.conf file and uses the jail(8) program for starting and
stopping. You can create a jail.conf file for each jail(8) and start it
using jail -c -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf and stop by issuing
jail -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf -r jailname
You can not mix the 2 methods.
My real problem is that I wanted to add allow.sysvipc only for *one* jail
and I can't find a real solution by jail_* flags in /etc/rc.conf
There is jail_allow_sysvipc but it enable it for all jails.
The jail(8) method does have a allow_sysvipc on a per jail basis. To use it
you have to use the jail(8) method. The 9.1-RELEASE legacy method is a work
in process to incorporate the jail(8) parameters into the rc.conf config
statements.
About the allow_sysvipc parameter, this breaks the security the jail is
designed to provide and should NOT be used on any jails having public
internet access.
What are you trying to do that you think you need to use the allow_sysvipc
parameter?
PostgreSQL, usually I install it on the host instead of jails, but I
needed a second instance on a different port for a public access..

That all sounds logical and is what jails are designed to do.
Why would running PostgreSQL in a jail need sysvipc?
Have you tried it? Did you get some PostgreSQL error?

I can confirm that PostgreSQL will not run in a jail without sysvipc
enabled, I just setup a jail running PostgreSQL a few weeks ago and had
to do that as well. PostgreSQL will not start without it enabled,
though perhaps there is some setting change in PostgreSQL that will make
it not require this. In my case its the only jail, and I am the only
user with access to both the base system and the jail so I wasn't to
concerned about it allowing more access to the base system from the
jail.

8.2-RELEASE sysinstall creates duplicate rc.conf lines
Hi all, We recently discovered that sysinstall appears to be adding it's own lines to /etc/rc.conf which are duplicates of lines that we are inserting during builds. For example, on one of our hosts, we are adding defaultrouter and ifconfig_em0 with certain network configurations. When we reboot the system we find that sysinstall also inserted a defaultrouter and ifconfig_em0 populated with the data that existed on the interface during the build. See a sample of the rc.conf below. We are making use of the keeprcconf in the install.cfg, but this does not prevent sysinstall from adding those lines. Is there some way to prevent this behavior? # Sample rc.conf after sysinstall build defaultrouter=10.0.0.1 defaultrouter=192.168.0.1 hostname=bsdtest ifconfig_em0=inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.252.0 ifconfig_em0=inet 192.168.0.2 netmaks 255.255.255.0 sshd_enable=YES -- Take care Rick Miller ___ 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

There are some simple steps you could have taken to get things back to normal but without knowing what you had in your original rc.conf file that's probably oversimplifying things. The defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf should be fully sufficient to bring the system up. From this state, running sysinstall could be used to choose settings that will cause /etc/rc.conf to be updated. Furthermore /etc/defaults/rc.conf can be used as a template for settings. Depending on what a system actually will be used for, there can be some strange settings required, such as keymap or services to be enabled at boot. Using some web web search, usabe /etc/rc.conf templates can also be revealed. Of course they need changes to conform to local needs. I keep a little script in my /root/bin folder to backup my config files periodically to another server. This is something you should look into. We all make mistakes and when we do, a backup copy can make the difference between oh wow and oh f***. I also have a copy /root/etc for the files I have changed, and I keep my changes in a CVS repository. I know this may sound overcomplex at _this_ particular problem, but it helps when you have to deal with various systems and sometimes need to undo changes. From that repository, I can restore any version from any system. Even in worst case obtaining a complete set of configuration files is possible. The difference in the RESULT between and can be immense, and having a backup you can _quickly_ access is really a happy oh wow, which is more pleasant than oh f***, especially if the last one is expressed by others. :-) Politely I'd also like to mention that there are no things called folder on FreeBSD in particular, and on operating systems in general.

Can I possibly make this a feature request? :) Alright, just for the record, apparently there is a (suspended) PR (conf/142972) which requests /etc/rc.d/jail to be switched over to new style jail(8) invocation (with -c/-m parameters), which, unlike old-style invocation supports passing additional parameters, which has worked for me in the past, when done by hand. On previous servers, I ended up putting something in my rc.local, but as already mentioned, I'd very much prefer the rc.conf-sugar. This PR was filed about a year ago, and I'm a bit disappointed, because one of the main reasons for me to pick FreeBSD was the jail support, which is pretty amazing if you ask me, if only there was a way to start them *with* parameters... :-( Please do something. I know freebsd-questions is the wrong list for this (so I will be posting it to freebsd-jail as well), but my initial post ended up there. I don't care whether you end up with an /etc/jail.d as proposed in conf/116416, but IMHO, there should be some *documented* way, which is officially supported and available on a default installation of FreeBSD, to start a jail with all parameters advertised in the manpage.

I thought I should ask -questions first, because it is the most busy one, with all the chatter and noise.

Passing additional options to jail(8) via rc.conf
Hello, let's say I want to pass additional options like ip4=inherit to my jails configured via /etc/rc.conf. How do I get this to work? Apparently, setting jail_www_flags=-l -U root ip4=inherit is the wrong order, because these parameters are expected after -c, which is apparently inserted by the rc-script *after* the flags passed via the variable. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a way to solve it rather than setting the jail up things by hand in rc.local? I'd prefer using the sugar rc.conf offers me. Maybe there is another, undocumented variable for this kind of options? Am I overlooking something?

I'd think I'd have to agree :(, the damn dvd drive, it is new but old IDE does not work as well as SATA. I can't confirm that. In my machine which is more than 7 years old now, I'm using (P)ATA / ATAPI stuff only (because it doesn't have any SATA inside), and it keeps working as intended. Still it may be possible that modern hardware doesn't play that good anymore. :-) If possible, just try a different DVD drive, as you've eleminated the reason bad DVD already. I have a /etc/devfs.conf file with the following: # Commonly used by many ports linkacd0cdrom linkacd0dvd # Allow all users to access CD’s perm /dev/acd0 0666 perm /dev/acd1 0666 perm /dev/cd0 0666 perm /dev/cd1 0666 # Allow all USB Devices to be mounted perm /dev/da0 0666 perm /dev/da1 0666 perm /dev/da2 0666 perm /dev/da3 0666 perm /dev/da4 0666 # Misc other devices perm /dev/pass0 0666 perm /dev/xpt0 0666 perm /dev/agpart 0666 perm /dev/uscanner0 0666 Fully okay. So the reason wrong permissions is also out of scope now. VLC did not play the dvds either, took a while to compile it(for troubleshooting this dvd problem). I like both players just to be honest. I really think it's the drive. Also make sure that the codecs are installed. If you're on x64, try to use the COMPAT32 facility. As I'm not owning x64 at home, I sadly can't be more specific about this idea. I have a similar amd64 machine that does play mostly everything in it, but I installed mplayer differently # pkg_add -r mplayer This installs mplayer with the default options which may not be optimal in some situations, especially if it's illegal in one's country to watch DVDs. :-) ** had problems with KDE and lib???.so not working and startx refused to work, last time I used ports. I always use ports for this. Although I'm a big fan of precompiled packages, mplayer and gmencoder are the tools I *insist* on building from source, both with a custom Makefile.local that defines ALL the codecs I want, which is _all_ of them. :-) *However* that machine has SATA cables not IDE like this one, this is my take on the issue. If i install/try a SATA dvd drive, it will work* Really, try a different drive, and if you can, also try different cables, just to make sure it's NOT the cables causing trouble. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

This MAY be a codec problem. You can try the following: First mount the DVD (cd_9660), then use mplayer on one of the VOB files directly.

Sorry for drifting out of original sound problem, but I also tried to play a dvd and it failed to load since atapi cam was not in /boot/loader.conf because cd/dvd drive is old style(not SATA) That doesn't matter. I have parallel ATA devices here that play nicely with ATAPICAM (mainly in use for CD and DVD recording). But you shouldn't need to have ATAPICAM in order to play DVDs. I know that mplayer has a configuration option for that... maybe it's sufficient to link /dev/acd0 to /dev/dvd (per /etc/devfs.conf) to provide the default location, or use -dvd-device dev to name it on the command line. Also make sure you have the required codecs installed. Going through make config in mplayer (or mencoder) is always a good choice. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
Hierachical jails devfs and rc.conf
Hi all, in FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE it does not seem to be possible to pass children.max=X to a jail via rc.conf. What would be the best way of doing this? The next issue is what kind of security review/testing is needed to declare nullfs jailsafe but for now I can still bind my paths. My biggest problem right now is the devfs. Is it possible to have /dev statically populated and have it work inside a jail? E.g. an attempt to create /dev/null and have it available to the jail is failing, I was cheating and binding (via nullfs) a /dev from another jail and it started but I am having difficulties when building things from the ports tree and it seems to be /dev related. So really quick question. Is there a way to statically populate the dev tree with the minimum of needed descriptors? A first try with mknod /jail/dev/null c 0... did not seem to work. regards holger ___ 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

Having jail_NAME_devfs_enable=YES inside a jail is not working as devfs is not a jail friendly fs. So I mount devfs as part of the /etc/fstab.MYJAIL on 'root' but then by default the whole devfs will be visible to child jails. So my two questions are really: - In rc.conf is there a variable I can use to pass children.max=N to one of the jails? - Is there a way to have a 'default' devfs rule for certain mountpoints? E.g. can a rule be applied at mount time? ___ 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

Q: Where on my hard drive can I find the instructions
executed to enable GNOME?
Try:
grep name=.*gnome /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
Thank you. This command returns nothing, but it got me looking in the right
place.
There are multiple references to gnome_enable within files in this directory:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/
The references appear like so:
grep gnome /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
hald:. /usr/local/etc/gnome.subr
hald:hald_enable=${hald_enable-${gnome_enable}}

Shouldn't /etc/crontab be calling '/etc/rc.d/newsyslog restart' instead? --Paul Hoffman Hi Paul, The problem here is that the /etc/rc.d/newsyslog script is used to initialize the system at boot time with missing log files specified by /etc/newsyslog.conf and not do any log rotation. The arguments passed to that invocation of newsyslog are (by default): - -C If specified once, then newsyslog will create any log files which do not exist, and which have the C flag specified in their config file entry. If specified multiple times, then newsyslog will create all log files which do not already exist. If log files are given on the command-line, then the -C or -CC will only apply to those specific log files. - -N Do not perform any rotations. This option is intended to be used with the -C or -CC options when creating log files is the only objective. Because -N is not used under normal circumstances, but should be used at boot time, you would need two different specifications for newsyslog flags in /etc/rc.conf, one for boot time and one for invocation from cron. That would complicate the rc system somewhat, so I would lean toward simply adding your preferred arguments to the crontab file. I modify the system crontab file on my machines, and I don't think there's a big problem doing that.

geli_devices entry in rc.conf
Hi freebsd-questions@,
I made some encryption on my USB mass storage, so I wanted to know if we can
geli {attach,detach} as user ? Since we can mount devices as user it would be
great for geli too.
And what about the geli_devices in rc.conf the manpage says it attaches at
the boot process, so if the storage disk is not here will the geli attach if
I plug it after the boot ?
King regards,
David.

It seems that GEOM works by calling ioctl on /dev/geom.ctl. Maybe it it
possible to get non-root access by changing the permissions
on the /dev/geom.ctl device? But that would possibly enable those users to
carry out
all geom actions, which is probably not a good thing from a security standpoint.
And what about the geli_devices in rc.conf the manpage says it attaches at

No. It just lists and handles the devices available at that time.
You might be able to do something with devd? It should be possible to write a
script that is to be called via devd once a disk device is available. That
script then should prompt the user (e.g. via xdialog) if a geli-encrypted
device is found. I'm not sure how to distinguish geli devices from non-geli
devices, though.
Additionally, even though the disk system in 8.x doesn't panic anymore when
one removes a mounted USB drive, I'm not sure how well geli would handle that.

Probably you can gett away with just doing fsck -a mount -u mount -a From then you can edit. If it will not run the fsck or the mount -a, then you will have to reboot in to single user mode and do the above. jerry Thanks in advanced.

tia, gents,
So you're using 6to4 tunnelling as described in stf(4)? That's a quite
different setup to what has been discussed previously in this thread.
I think 6to4 is, if not deprecated, certainly not the normal way of getting
IPv6 connectivity nowadays. Generally you'ld get an address space
allocation
from your ISP, or failing that, a tunnel broker like Hurricane Electric[*].
Anyhow, as stf(4) says, you need to encode your IPv4 address as hex in the
6to4 address -- that looks correct:
% perl -e 'map { printf %x\n, $_ } split( /\./, shift );' 209.180.213.210
d1
b4
d5
d2
However 2002:d1b4:d5d2:: is *your* network address, and having it as the
default router sounds wrong to me. You need to assign addresses from that
range to your hosts -- which you can do automatically by enabling rtadvd(8)
on your gateway machine and rtsold(8) on your clients. Also, to use 6to4
you need to create a 'stf0' interface and make that the
ipv6_default_interface.
Errp! Matthew, you lost me entirely. I *do* want to use IPv6
eventually. I have it sent up, latenly, in my mail and DNS files.
I do understand the need to go to v6 in a few years, but it is
probably going to take me that long to get mi mind around the
workings of the whole set of issues. [[I'm learning new+exciting
things about pfSEnse and networking-in-detail while getting X11
running on my new server]] Are there any IPv6-for-Dummies
around? The man pages are things you read for reference; or at
least that's been my experience!
This is all independent of setting up IPv6 related items in your DNS. Get
the IPv6 connectivity working first -- use ping6 and traceroute6 with IPv6
numbers to confirm connectivity, and then worry about DNS settings.
I'll google around for some insights of things-v6; but you may know
what's best.
thanks,
gary
Cheers,
Matthew

going to run out around 2012[+]. All of the major ISPs and NSPs really

Re: FreeBSD ipv6 rc.conf settings issue
I'm having problems with the /etc/rc.conf setup of a ipv6 tunnel on my FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p6 It`s a particular issue on the ipv6_defaultrouter config, it jost does not work... Upon network and routing restart ipv6 is enabled the gif interface are given ip's and everything but the defaultrouter does not. Researching a bit i found some say that gif1 sould work and tried both ipv6_defaultrouter=-interface gif1 and ipv6_defaultrouter=2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1 but no joy... here is the basic comand line config from tunnelbroker.net http://pastebin.ca/1736599 here's the rc.conf defaultrouter=86.122.121.129 gateway_enable=YES hostname=pgn.ro ifconfig_nfe0=inet .
