Hammer feature suggestion
Hey, I was using Hammer for a while (10 months) and i found it extremly usefull (and stable now). The PFSs are very handfull for administration and backup. I manage 3 servers with DFBSD right now and 0 makes mirror-copy in 1, 1 in 2 and 2 in 0 so i can ever have a backup of everything just in case. I was wondering if there is the possibility to make the PFSs crypt-able. You pass them the RSA/DSA pair key at mount (mount -key pathToKey /pfs/cryptedPFS ), the key could be stored in a removable device, like a usb stick, CDROM or anything else (get it from a server in local network, i dont know). I found it usefull for notebooks, you can crypt /home and /var, have a usb with the key pair, so if someone stole the PC, at least you dont have to worry about the data. I was thinking use the keys for crypt at 8MB chunks basis (i had read hammer has a 8MB chunks allocation in the tree) and code/decode at use. I wondering if it is possible to add this feature without big collaterals, if you think it can be added smoothly and someone can guide me a little i can try to code it. Sdav
BSDday Argentina 2009
As i posted last month, there will be a BSD event in Argentina May 29 and 30 I got a spot for a Hammer administration introduction. I will talk about, setup, basic use, config files, mirroring, and some introduction to DFBSD's basics (pkg_src where to find some basic config files, etc...)

Re: mail/mailx question
: :I was trying to write a mail script and couldn't find a way to set the :from field to an arbitrary address. =A0Is there a way to do this with :the base mail client? =A0I ended up installing mutt to solve the :problem. : :Tim Normally you do it by running sendmail directly with numerous options. Typically -f ... and -oi. I'm not sure what the options should be, exactly. -Matt Matthew Dillon dil...@backplane.com
Re: mail/mailx question
:Thanks, Matt and Bill. It didn't occur to me that sendmail could be :used for this. Am I correct in thinking that dma would handle this :too? : :Tim It should though I don't know how much of the option set DMA supports. 'man dma'. It does seem to support -f and -oi. -Matt
Re: [issue1357] A cloned tap device patch (for a person to test KQEMU 1.4.0pre1 for QEMU 0.10.1)
Hi Sephe, Sorry for the slow res too. The response mail to sub...@... failed some reasons, also it took me a few days to realize :-) I'll test your 3 patches for a while and your patches (including 'closed-out' flag operation) work well with qemu/kqemu environment. BTW, I guess we need a small patch for qemu to open correct tap device node (ex /dev/tap*0*), as I attached, but it is another story. I'm appreciate if someone can take care of the patch, if need. thanks a lot for your assistance. -Naoya On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 7:40 AM, Sepherosa Ziehau (via DragonFly issue tracker) sub...@crater.dragonflybsd.org wrote: Sepherosa Ziehau sepher...@gmail.com added the comment: On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 12:06 PM, Sepherosa Ziehau sepher...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 1:11 PM, Naoya Sugioka naoya.sugi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Sephe, Thank you for your comment.
