    X server & jails

    Sorry. My PC-BSD usage is limited to several hours in total just to take a look at it. I'm not familiar with the "warden jail" concept.

    HOWTO: Clone a FreeBSD (or others) system using SSH and Named Pipe

    I think the commands displayed in the first post are wrong. 1) mkfifo /tmp/portal # creates a named pipe which never gets used. 2) tar czpf /tmp/karsha / # creates a tar archive named karsha. 3) mkfifo /tmp/portal 4) cd / 5) tar xzf /tmp/portal & 6) bg (3-6) create named pipe "portal" on...

    Monitoring ZVOLs?

    Thank you! :)

    Monitoring ZVOLs?

    Nope. This will show the i/o stats for the whole pool or for the block devices of which it consists (-v). I need to monitor a particular zfs volume (or dataset). zfs create -V 500G zfspool/zfsvolume01 export zfsvolume01 via iSCSI and monitor its I/O.

    Monitoring ZVOLs?

    Is it possible to monitor the i/o stats of a ZFS volume (zfs create -V ...)?

    FreeBSD updates ... or lack of them

    "Shut up and code" is a good motto at first glance but...The community part that can code probably already does so. The bigger part can't code though. Let's say that someone following that motto learns C in 21 days :) and tries to code for the sake of community. The result would be of such...

    FreeBSD updates ... or lack of them

    No, it is not. I regret you have missed the joke, but still: FAQ section "...We believe that our first and foremost “mission” is to provide code to any and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit..."...

    FreeBSD updates ... or lack of them

    WOW! Bye-bye, "rock solid" myth! /me joining the "we want bug fixes in RELEASEs" crowd/ That is not an excuse to leave the "production-ready" version crippled. Either the "road map" (more QA, less RELEASEs) or the development model (e.g. put bug fixes in RELEASE like it's done with security...

    FreeBSD updates ... or lack of them

    Could you, guys, please, show me a bug in a "RELEASE" version that was fixed in the corresponding "STABLE" version and then wasn't backported to the "RELEASE"?

    FreeBSD updates ... or lack of them

    I believe those major.minor.patchset "releases" exist but they are named in the form A.B-RELEASE-pX root@gate ~ # freebsd-update fetch install Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 8.1-RELEASE from update3.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching...

    Monitor network traffic from console

    What does "monitor" mean? For me it is to determine the speeds from host A to Host B. netstat 1 I like very much "iftop'. It can be installed from ports. For dumping/sniffing/inspecting the packet contents (what wireshark does) you can use "tcpdump" like SirDice suggested or install...

    PF + 2 Nat

    Did it work? (btw, I've swapped the places of "from" and "route-to" in my previous post)

    PF + 2 Nat

    Sorry, I guess I've made a syntax error. Unfortunately I have no way to test the syntax. I believe "route-to" should solve your problem though. Added: I guess the error is generated because there is no direction given in the rules. Please, try modifying the last two rules like this pass out...

    PF + 2 Nat

    Perhaps: interface_1="rl0" # STATIC IP interface_2="rl1" # DHCP nat_1="{ 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 }" nat_2="{ 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 }" nat on $interface_1 from $nat_1 to any -> 192.168.0.1 nat on $interface_2 from $nat_2 to any -> 12.34.56.78 # ip leased from dhcp pass all pass from $nat_1...

    Steps to upgrade an ezjail host

    It is one step process, actually. Execute: ezjail-admin update -u -p ...on the host system. This will update your base jail and the jail port tree(s).

    PF: redirecting local traffic to localhost

    Hi, I'm trying to setup a transparent squid. While intercepting traffic from other hosts works fine, I can't figure out how to redirect locally originated packets to the proxy daemon. Squid is listening on 127.0.0.1:3128 with the "intercept" flag set. PF redirects the http traffic like this...

    passwordless su

    While being afraid the discussion would go off-topic, I believe those questions really deserve an answer. At first glance the idea seems scary indeed, but actually it is all about convenience with no security reduction in this particular case. - Who can do "switch user" (su)? - The wheel...

    Doesn't work here?

    passwordless su

    Hi, How to set the "wheel" group members (and/or any other explicitly named group) to do "su" w/o password? In GNU/Linux it is can be achieved by "pam_wheel", e.g.: auth sufficient pam_rootok.so # Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel"...
