So, doing the partitioning manually? # zpool create -R / -m <temp mount-point> <dataset name> <device>. I don't use the BSD installer myself but iirc you need to mount your install media somewhere in /tmp? Check the shown instructions. But yah, ^ that's how to do it.

So... is Ninja installed on your system? Note: just stating "it doesn't work, why?!" without giving us any extra information is not enough to present useful advice. Which makes most people decide not to bother. The info I'm missing, in order of preference: Is Ninja even installed? FreeBSD...

Strong disagee. If this was only about Python then sure... but you're overlooking the fact that OP still has ports on their system which got removed almost 10 years ago. In other words: there's more to this story. I definitely agree with astyle that OP should consider a clean reinstall.

Why ask us? Strange question coming from a company because surely you don't base such decisions on (community) popularity? The reason I consider this a weird question is because it gives me the impression that you think building against the Linux or FreeBSD kernel is the exact same thing. Fun...

You're wrong about that one ;) I have a Debian image running which I got from the app store, and guess where /etc/apt/sources is pointing to? None other than the official Debian repositories. In other words: every program I install using apt is in fact... a native Linux application. And it...

No, you don't overwrite environment variables in software like Mutt. What you can do is tell Mutt to use the Maildir, which I did, but even then Mutt always starts by opening the mbox first no matter what. Sure, I could then easily open the other, real, mail storage but that's beside the point...

Disclaimer: it's been years since I last touched a Linux system (well, a real one, not talking about Windows sub-systems (wsl.exe)). Thing is... no matter the distribution you could always recompile and thus "trim" the kernel. From what I can tell by a quick Google search this still seems to be...

Nah, you're good with offtopic IMO.. In fact, just my 2 cents (!) but kudo's on being mindfull in my book! Now, I'm not gonna read all that but... running a browser inside a jail shouldn't be much of an issue. But running an X server otoh... that's a whole different beast and probably the...

Good point SirDice! Always think about the possible aftermath as well. While waiting for some file systems to sync I can't help but wonder: why not utilize blacklistd as well for all this? It shouldn't be too hard to hook into this I think.

Why not just check /etc/ssh/sshd_config and use its logging options instead?

Yah, I'm looking into that. But first I'm trying to come up with a solid diff which I might be able to present.

When in doubt check /etc/services to see what a port number is commonly used for: peter@bsd:/home/peter $ grep -e "\s992" /etc/services telnets 992/tcp # telnet protocol over TLS/SSL telnets 992/udp It is a bit concerning to me that it's bound to your full stack and doesn't...

I see this thread is also still alive, nice! So, I think I posted this script before but even so this is the updated version (1.5, whoohoo!). This is snapshot.zfs which I keep around in /root/bin and use through crontab, also see crontab for more detail on this. Making ZFS snapshots is one...

Depends on your hardware, and since you never mentioned that... I suggest using Google, or stick with the general instructions from drsnx60 above; those apply to most hardware.

Disclaimer: I'm well aware that this thread is a year old, but I still wanted to re-visit it because I can't help but notice a lot of confusion happening above. Especially about what etcupdate actually does... but having said that: some things could have changed during the past year (and I'm...

That sounds like a good idea. Generic things which you could do is make sure the daemon is running (# service syslogd status as well as using ps: root@bsd:/home/peter # service syslogd status syslogd is running as pid 1215. root@bsd:/home/peter # ps ax -p 1215 PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 1215...

Interesting issue, but at the same time... no offense (!) but from my perspective all you need is a good look at syslogd as well as syslog.conf. I mean, for starters, you previously mentioned -ss but all that does is make things "worse" because it only locks things down even further. But...

It's perfectly usable, you just need to use the right username (probably root) and its password; since you set the password yourself during the installation this shouldn't be too much of a problem. As for being on just the commandline... ever heard of this thing called PowerShell? In a way...

First: what SirDice said. Second... booting from a ZFS pool has little to do with its mountpoint. In fact... you don't even really need to mount the pool in order to set this up, only import it which could also be done with # zfs import -a, then let FreBSD worry about the rest. From the top of...

I kinda like Netflix but also noticed that I had been watching less and less... the most notable series was Edgerunners (I enjoy Cyberpunk 2077?) and the rest... well, the irony of it all is that I figured things would change since WWE moved onto Netflix and I used to enjoy sporadically...
