Plain freebsd jail, no ezjail or other magic. Local network and wifi is on 192.168.0.0/24 Trying to bridge all jails to bridge0 with 192.168.1.0/24 epair#a on bridge0 while epair#b the jail interface If I setup the bridge: bridge0 epair1a epair2a epair3a 2,3 are the test jails while...

I think I asked this in the past and am wondering if anything has changed. Is it possible to completely power down a standard SATA hard drive though software? I want to have massive storage of dozens of drives but only one or two drives needs to be on at any moment. Otherwise I am shuffling...

Ran into a snag where I need install 32 bit Postgres on a amd64 system in order to dump it's database files. How does 32 bit compatibility work? Right now I'm creating a 32 bit jail as that is what seems to be suggested. But then what are the lib32 libraries for? Can one install and compile...

Just wondering if anyone has done the work yet to integrate the new v4 IP clients from ports working as both IPv4 and IPv6? It's more involved because one has to modify both /etc/network.subr and the rc.d script. Currently I just have a simple custom script that starts a separate dhclient in...

I have an old system I install FreeBSD on and installed an old highpoint 2220 card just to use it for more more SATA points. The mvs driver (which doesn't work) loads instead of the mvs driver. In loader.conf I already have: hw.hptrr.attach_generic=1 And I saw no way to recompile the kernel...

Just wondering if anyone has done something like this already. I'm currently creating a script to help me track and integrate features from kernel conf files. Diff doesn't cut it for me anymore. I like custom kernels. So when each version of FreeBSD has come out I have been manually comparing...

I'm considering doing the same thing on my firewall. On the internet connection I want public key only. On the local LAN I want to be able to login with a password. I change stuff, setup new installations and install VM's often on the local network so I don't have public keys installed yet...

Just wondering if anyone else agrees with me. /etc is large and confused should have been split up in it's evolution. To me /etc should be config files without any read only scripts. Better yet if it started out as an empty directory with another directory being defaults. System script...

Not FreeBSD specific but does anyone know of any open source "nearline" storage solutions? With nearline I'm specifically thinking of hard drives that turn on and off and smart caching. ZFS is wonderful and all but I only need so many available terabytes of storage to be available. I archive a...

What is everyone's option here as to what is the best practice? I think I prefer DHCP myself since everything is all under one roof. Rtadv is supposedly the "native" way to do this on IPV6 but I can't imagine a usage scenario where I would prefer it. One thing I really like about DHCP is being...

Can anyone explain or provide a like explaining what Wayland is/does and what X does? Especially from an API/flowchart perspective. I'm sure it's more complicated than what I think. How is Wayland any different than console SDL? With graphics being moved to the kernel with KMS It seems to me...

I had NFS set[]up with sys permission in addition to krb5p for the exports when I wrote this. For anyone trying to set[]up NFS with Kerberos remember to enable the gssd deamon with gss_enable="YES" Second, you need to create a service principal in kadmin: add --random-key nfs/hostname.net Then...

Indeed I was going to write my own in a bash script. Just don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Does anything like this exist? I was thinking about how nice it would be for a utility to maintain a list of items for processing. It would have a command to push to the list and pop from this list. It would either have commands to either push or pop or execute a command/script itself. While...

Is there a way to set options and override defaults from within a Makefile? I have my own "make libraries" and don't want to include sys.mk when compiling within my project directory. I also don't care to set MAKEFLAGS since when I'm not in one of my projects I would rather have the default...

Just recently was playing with NFS and Kerberos. But it turns out it's not doing what I thought it would do. I want to talk it through a bit so please correct me. I was thinking that it would authenticate users accessing the mounted file system and grant access through their credentials...

I upgraded a box with an SSD. I did a fresh install by hand like I am accustomed to doing. But when I try to use pkg install it chokes the machine. Doesn't really freeze since I can switch to other virtual terminals. It's just that all terminals can't access the system after... almost like the...

I started slowly with all the BSD's. Mainly the attraction is FreeBSD simply because of features and drivers. But I strongly recommend learning how to partition all your systems and run all three plus a couple flavors of Linux on all servers and firewalls. Doesn't really take up all that much...

I would like to authenticate IMAP with Kerberos. I can understand Kerberos working with just mapping the realm to plain usernames: user1 is user1@INTRANET. It just maps the realm for all accounts. But how can you map for accounts with domain names? Seems to me you would need a database to map...

Each file would indeed be it's own torrent. And you would use magnet links so need for any dedicated servers. Only difference would be a custom torrent server/client specifically for this or customizing an existing one so that legitimate and illegitimate activities are partitioned/segregated...
