    C Need guidance for programming in C on FreeBSD

    I'll stop reading here and recommend rethinking your conclusions.

    How to NFS share whole zfs pool instead of individual dataset?

    Two things: * "RPC prog not avail" is something you should NEVER see with NFSv4, it doesn't need any of this RPC mapper services. Also lockd and statd are integrated into nfsd with NFSv4. * Regarding the permission error, I can only assume that the client transparently mounts child filesystems...

    Solved MS Teams with camera?

    I've just seen for the first time some warning that the "classic" Teams will be disabled soon -> Upgrade your browser. So, Microphone in Teams on FreeBSD will soon be dead again. I now sent some feedback. Maybe someone wants to "push" it a bit...

    C Need guidance for programming in C on FreeBSD

    In my opinion, this isn't good advice. Neither C nor C++ have "memory safety", this just isn't possible with explicit memory management, C++ just offers lots of (more or less complex) helper constructs for common things. C has strong compile-time type safety (you just have to be aware of some...

    How to NFS share whole zfs pool instead of individual dataset?

    But remember you will need to enable nfsuserd as well, and you will need to add a NFSv4 root to your /etc/exports (not sure about ZFS properties, I still prefer to configure all exports outside of ZFS features ...) Also note you can add nfsv4_server_only="YES", then you don't need to run...

    Solved how to conigure my usb serial port ?

    This whole thread is horribly unclear to me. But if this is indeed about using some USB/serial converter for accessing some serial console, there's no need to configure anything indeed. Just run cu with the correct speed given for -s. My switch (bought in 2015) came with 38400 ... and it also...

    How to NFS share whole zfs pool instead of individual dataset?

    from nfsv4: So, you can always only export one filesystem at a time, the difference with NFSv4 is that clients can do mounts spanning across multiple server filesystems. Yes, use NFSv4. There's no real reason for v3 any more anyways. With v4, many things get a lot simpler (all functions in a...

    Virtual Keyboard not working on login screen

    I guess there's very little testing in that area, it's the first time I read about someone using FreeBSD on a device without a hardware keyboard 😉 So that said, a quick web search reveals /usr/local/etc/sddm.conf needs InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard in the General section, I assume you did add that?

    Living on the edge

    I did use 11-CURRENT for testing on my desktop and notebook, because 10-RELEASE missed GPU drivers. Since 11-RELEASE, I only use -CURRENT in VMs dedicated to testing ports with poudriere (with jails for -CURRENT and all currently supported -RELEASE versions). Ports explicitly support -CURRENT...

    Shell Strange behaviour from named pipe / FIFO?

    This has nothing to do with Linux. The feature tail -f provides is NOT exiting on EOF but instead keep watching the file and reading anything that's added. Of course, the usecase is "watching logfiles". It still makes little sense to ever use this in a script, because you'll have no way to know...

    Why in FreeBSD, despite changing the settings in the daemon, the system sometimes uses either the old settings or mixes them up.

    and please stop reproducing this wrong and confusing naming. A "daemon" is a Unix process that detaches itself from the controlling terminal (doing several typical steps like starting its own session, closing all stdio streams, changing the working dir to /, forking itself, etc ... so that it...

    "gethostby*.getanswer" - what does it mean?

    If you look closely at your drill example, the ANSWER section is empty (as it should be when there's no record of the requested type). Getting a SOA record in the AUTHORITY section is expected. So I'd say something else is going wrong here, maybe some code just doesn't distinguish the sections...

    The computer keeps crashing during the compilation process of chromium-123.0.6312.58_1, but never crashed when I was building version 123.0.6312.58!

    I'm repeating myself here, but the "solution" IMHO is to fix the cooling (as long as that's possible of course, might be problematic with many notebooks), so persistent "full power" won't cause overheating any more. Check for mechanical issues, check for dirt/dust, check for cables and stuff...

    Seeking Advice: Thin Jail + unionfs running with workarounds

    OlCe first of all, I didn't mean to "bash" unionfs or something like that. So even if all these things are perfectly well-defined in the scope of unionfs (and as some of the behavior depends on mount options, I'm not so sure about that, but, close enough), it's not well-defined in the general...

    Shell Strange behaviour from named pipe / FIFO?

    In short, what you see is behavior of tail unrelated to the fifo. To make tail read from the very beginning, add a -c+0 flag. Why it doesn't immediately read a first line I don't know, this might be a bug in tail itself. But why do you need tail at all here? With the -f flag, it will ignore...

    14.0 and sendmail: daily error message from "freebsd-update cron"

    It's been in ports since 2000 😉 Yes, it was always in base, mainly because some MTA is needed for a fully working "unixy" base system, and a long time ago, there wasn't really an alternative to sendmail. Now that we have dma, I'd expect sendmail to be removed from base, maybe in 15.0, we will...

    14.0 and sendmail: daily error message from "freebsd-update cron"

    If you like sendmail, that's fine, why not. Then, there's also mail/sendmail you could use. I personally think it's an "error" to still have sendmail in base. But anyways, building a part of base (here: sendmail) yourself and still wanting to use binary updates will conflict. The binary...

    Why in FreeBSD, despite changing the settings in the daemon, the system sometimes uses either the old settings or mixes them up.

    Look, I don't even know what this should mean now, but if anyone else has root access to your machine and "making mistakes" there, that's another issue to solve and most likely not a technical one ... so let's ignore that for now. I'd be happy to help here, as are many other users on here, but...

    Why in FreeBSD, despite changing the settings in the daemon, the system sometimes uses either the old settings or mixes them up.

    Oh wow. /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d do not contain configuration files but init scripts. You are not supposed to change them. Those in /etc belong to the base system, those in /usr/local/etc to individual ports/packages (and yes, they WILL be overwritten on install/upgrade). edit: Of...

    OpenCanary?

    Besides porting ... do you intend to use this ("or any other honeypot software") to "improve security"? Because if so, my recommendation would be: Don't. Yes, I know you'll find a lot of material recommending to "get alerted of attacks" with such a software. But a honeypot is NOT an IDS, to the...
