    Solved Question about disk encryption: Why the master key always gets stored on the encrypted disk?

    If you are really concerned, it is perfectly possible to move the entire /boot filesystem onto a USB stick that you can hang around your neck and therefore actually encrypt the entire hard disk in the computer, with cryptographic verification as well as encryption. "Full" disk encryption...

    Solved Using cdrecord in my account

    cdrecord certainly has a comprehensive man page, including: The man page goes on to suggest creating a cdburners group and ensuring that group has read and write permissions on the CD writer device. Personally, I would go with this option to configure permissions and set the setuid permission...

    Driver for USB Ethernet adapter

    Identifying what chipset the adapter uses and then searching for it in the hardware compatibility list is a good start. The link you supplied doesn't mention the chipset unfortunately. Searching the mailing lists for "handacc" didn't bring back any results either. I would be cautious about...

    No Wi-Fi

    Does the NIC you are using now (wpi0) detect the access point when you scan? I think that is happening because after the reboot wlan0 has already been created, whereas as wblock@ pointed out before, in your earlier post that interface didn't exist. Humour me and try changing the channel on the...

    Solved Using cdrecord in my account

    Did you configure the device that is your CD writer so that your user account has write permission?

    Megameneer Now I also have an aching neck, I also noticed you accidentally included in the photos what looks like you new forums password. You might want to change it :)

    No Wi-Fi

    Good spot, wblock@. Without restarting, it is possible to create wlan0 yourself with ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 and then try to configure WPA with wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, referencing the excellent Wireless Networking page in the FreeBSD handbook. I end up...

    Nessus and Nmap running in Jail

    I also just spotted this line in your jail configuration: interface="lo0"; Unless you are only intending to target the host/other jails also attached to your loopback interface (lo0), you will need to include a real network interface (looking something like em0) in your jail's configuration.

    Nessus and Nmap running in Jail

    I suspect "Host discovery" uses an ICMP ping. To allow a jail to create ICMP packets you need to configure the host to allow jails in general to use raw sockets in addition to configuring the specific jail to allow raw sockets (which you have already done). On the host, as root, do this with...

    No Wi-Fi

    I was going suggesting trying to change the channel on your father's router, since the US allows fewer channels than the rest of the world (limitations on spectrum I believe) and I'm pretty sure FreeBSD defaults to the US region for WiFi cards. However, I agree with tobik, in that it looks like...

    Please help the noob (virtualbox guest additions question)

    The excellent FreeBSD handbook, the official documentation for FreeBSD and a sensible first place to look, has a section entitled VirtualBox Guest Additions on a FreeBSD Guest that would seem directly relevant and also discusses the required configuration changes in the guest system.

    [ezjail] Download base system via HTTP instead of FTP?

    On my machines I install the sysutils/ezjail basejail using the FreeBSD installation files (on the installation media you may still have -- no need to download again) mounted in a directory using a file:// URL. It is possible to use the -h switch with the ezjail-admin install command to choose...

    PF How to handle PF rules for process launching after PF (openvpn for example)?

    What you want to do is similar to Beeblebrox in create-pre-cloned-interface-for-virtualbox.50421. devd can execute actions in response to devices being added or removed. PF provides anchors as placeholders for rulesets that can then be changed dynamically; look at the pf.conf and pfctlman pages.

    Bootstrap booting from a root on ZFS

    I would say it's better to get into the habit of using shutdown but I doubt that is causing your issue. I just looked at the source code for the ZFS rc.d script, which essentially runs zfs mount -a. I'm not sure why your pools are being forgotten, so the best I can offer is an ugly workaround...

    WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes not respected by all ports

    I am sure the port maintainers would be grateful to learn about your research and receive any patches you are able to prepare. Have a look at the Dealing with Broken Ports section in the handbook.

    Intel i5 2410M - no hardware crypto

    MorgothV8, tobik is correct. You are using the AES-NI instructions on your CPU. From your dmesg output: [...] GEOM_ELI: Device ada0s1d.eli created. GEOM_ELI: Encryption: AES-XTS 256 GEOM_ELI: Crypto: hardware [...] GEOM_ELI: Device ada0s1b.eli created. GEOM_ELI: Encryption: AES-XTS 128...

    Bootstrap booting from a root on ZFS

    Let's assume your ZFS cachefile is fine and not causing the issue. I had problems relating to the cachefile on FreeBSD 9.2 where the cachefile was needed to mount the root ZFS pool on the GELI container. That is likely why it was mentioned in the guide you read. However, I have had no issue...

    Solved poudriere package build for RPI

    Welcome to the forums dksayers. Since you are using development versions (see also topics-about-unsupported-freebsd-versions.40469) of both FreeBSD and Poudriere on a developmental architecture you might have better luck getting an answer on one of the mailing lists or on the IRC channel...

    Bootstrap booting from a root on ZFS

    A third thought: Note that /boot needs to be a symbolic link to /uboot/boot for things to end up in the right place.

    Bootstrap booting from a root on ZFS

    Two thoughts for things to try: Firstly, the man page for zdb says of the -C argument: Since it explicitly mentions the cachefile as being at /etc/zfs/zpool.cache it might be worth using the -U option to explicitly check your cachefile. Secondly, since the cachefile is currently located in a...
