I don't think this is normal, and I'm getting the same error.

Thanks for the reply @stralle, I would have never thought of linking the public_html directory into the home folder. Seems like a more elegant solution. For some reason I thought I had tested the group-writable directories with sftp, I had tried again and it didn't work. Root still needs to...

Hi guys, I'm not sure if what I'm doing is possible or considered secure so here it goes. I'm in the process of trying to set up a webserver with home directories residing in /var/www. Users will have their default shell set as nologin and be logging in through sftp. When I add a user, I would...

I'm not sure this would work in my case, <internet> --> <pfsense> --> <windows host><virtualbox><vm +freebsd +jails> I was just trying to run this stuff in a test environment until I could move to a production environment but am finding I still have quite a bit to learn before I can do this...

I probably should have posted this in the firewall forum, however if anyone knows of a better way of trying to accomplish the same thing, please feel free to share. I've already spent a couple of days on this and have made great progress and even learned a thing or two. I have found many...

I've got FreeBSD-9.0 amd64 running on a VM what I'm trying to do is set it up jails so that the host acts as a gateway and all the jails run within a private network. /etc/rc.conf hostname="bsdbox" ifconfig_em0=" inet 192.168.1.51 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"...

Just wanted to thank the posters above for the useful info and also to add a little of my own. I ran into the exact same issues of with Adobe Flash settings not accepting any mouse input. What worked for me was putting the video into full screen mode and then accessing the flash player...

Hmmmmm.... I never really thought of it that way, it makes sense. Maybe I should be reversing the owner and group then? I guess my thought process when setting this up was trying to limit user 'www' with read only access and give myself rw rights limiting damage if apache was ever compromised...

Hi guys, here's my problem: I've got a web server serving up wordpress files in the folder /var/www/somesite.net/. I've set the suid bit on the folder wp-content for both user and group but when I touch the file with a test user, it assumes the ownership of 'test'. $ uname -r 9.0-RELEASE $...

Thanks Zare, this definitely gives me a place to start looking. I didn't know that about MASTER_SITES variable or the portrange sysctl's. I should be able to figure it out from here.

Hi guys, this is my situation. I've got a vm setup out on the web and I am using PF as my firewall. Currently I have a ruleset to allow outgoing ftp connections from tcp port >1023. FTP-Proxy doesn't seem to be an option here and I don't really like the idea of opening all of those ports...

Pantu maybe read tuning man page for extra ideas on tweaks you can use to squeeze out a little more performance. As far as the kernel goes though, I would start out with a GENERIC config and start stripping out whatever is not needed. According to the handbook, it recommends only concerning...

I highly recommend the 2nd edition of this book. I've yet to run into an example that hasn't worked and it describes how to properly build a kernel using the handbook method along with the "include the GENERIC kernel" trick. It sounds like the 1st edition of the book is a bit dated. I would...

Hey thanks buddy, I'll give this a try later.

Ok so I've got my installation going, not with bind98 however. pkg_delete bind98-base-9.8.0.2 cd /usr/ports/dns/bind96 make REPLACE_BASE=yes install clean Using the exact same config files from the last install, everything started up just fine in the chroot environment. dns1#...

I'm going to try using the version of bind included in the base install with openssl-1.0.0 tonight to see if things work any differently. I'll report back with my findings. I probably should have just used the base install in the first place.

Please post your /etc/rc.conf . Also post the output of ifconfig

Just on a side note, gateway_enable="YES" hostname="proxy-int.svc1.mytestnetwork.net" ifconfig_em0="inet 199.100.16.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_em1="inet 172.16.4.2/29" sshd_enable="YES" squid_enable="YES" gateway_enable="YES" ifconfig_em0_alias0="199.100.16.254 netmask...
