    Solved Errors during buildowrld

    Using CURRENT by any chance? ;) (aka: checked out the source and didn't select a specific Git branch?)

    How to set zpool root mountpoint to /?

    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.

    Vanilla llvm20 tests fail due to missing files

    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...

    Solved Questions about orphaned packages

    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.

    FreeBSD as UNIX kernel for an OS

    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...

    Run GNU/Linux on a smaller computer for drivers and interface it with a FreeBSD system?

    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...

    Solved How do I stop sshd from setting the MAIL env. variable?

    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...

    Run GNU/Linux on a smaller computer for drivers and interface it with a FreeBSD system?

    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...

    jails and browsers

    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...

    notification when wrong ssh

    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.

    notification when wrong ssh

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

    Solved How do I stop sshd from setting the MAIL env. variable?

    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.

    Why is port 992 open ?

    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...

    Useful scripts

    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...
