With a minor version upgrade, from 14.1 to 14.3 for example, the ABI is not allowed to change. So any userland application built on 14.0 will work just fine on 14.9 (fictitious version, to illustrate the point). With a major version change the...

Spiders eat things I don't like. I approve.

It would be the surprise moment. I respect spiders, they can be pretty nasty (even below 2cm). But fear? Not really. Didn't encounter one that was not OK with being brought outside with a glass and pice of cardboard.

You have to do this with every major version upgrade. After a major version upgrade you must reinstall all ports/packages due to ABI changes in the base OS.

Ok I didn't know that, thank you. That's my first major upgrade, as I started using FreeBSD with 14.1 .

There is no convention. Your domain can have entries from any subnet, there's nothing in DNS that says all A (or AAAA) entries within a domain or subdomain have to be from a specific subnet range. Only your reverse (PTR) records have to be in the...

Last post. Like I said, 30 years volunteering in a shelter and analyzing data from hundreds of shelters tells quite the opposite: 1) Of course education is important bur dogs, like people can exhibit all kind of problems and aggressive traits...

I just finished updating my test system. It ended up fine but it wasn't easy to say the least. First of all I had to adjust the base repository config file to track "base_latest" (as expected) and the kmod repository config file to track...

I did modify the debugger code to spray the regs with 0xcc: memset(&regs, 0xcc, sizeof regs); and let the client crash. The restored context was mixed - only few regs still held the 0xcc contents. Given the info from D50556 it makes...

I find -current to be pleasant. Except in the direct runup to a .0 release, as people rush in their changes.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8375.html led me to find: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6762#appendix-G .lan. .private. .internal. .intranet. There's also .corp. for corporate use. .home. was replaced with the one you mentioned there, as...

Of course it is, or better, being a virtual machine I can attach another piece of storage or grow a volume, but I was trying to fix a mess to learn how to solve in the case I cannot expand anymore.

Yeah, it worked!

I'd have a proper heart attack. I absolutely hate spiders, anything above a 2 cm span and I'm going to burn the whole house down to the ground. Yeah, yeah, they're harmless. Yeah, sure, they're more afraid of me than me of them. Still going to...

There is pkgbasify, which will convert your 14.3-RELEASE to one that uses pkgbase. It's worked well for me and several others on this forum. https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify

There are some useful (free) websites out there that you can send an email to and a report is generated. That's how I discovered that I'd screwed up one of my DKIM dns records when changing DNS providers (classic copy and paste error). Might be...

14.3-STABLE (stable/14 branch), 15.0-ALPHA4 (stable/15 branch) or 16.0-CURRENT (main branch)? The latter is not supported.

Some keywords in the periodic emails seem to trigger spam filters. Even SpamAssassin sometimes marks it as "*** SPAM ***" every now and then.

You could remove the freebsd-boot partition and create an efi partition in the freed space. Tricky, if it fails to boot you're up shit creek and will need access to a bootable FreeBSD CD/memory stick in order to restore the freebsd-boot...

Several options, switch your source to the stable/15 branch and build it. Use freebsd-update and upgrade to 15.0-ALPHA5, or give pkgbase a try.

networks do not generally have names nowadays. you may name a network in /etc/networks, but basically nothing actually uses this, except perhaps netstat -i. most people do not bother. it seems you are not trying to name your subnet, but rather...

You need to learn first some basic networking. You are mixing a lot of terms which are not correct. Learn about Network ID, Subnets, Domain Names, Routing. Then return back here and read again your post to see what have you type.

Some things I have found: /etc/rc.conf ifconfig wlan0 entry gets most all the hardware settings and hostapd.conf should just do the WPA2 stuff. Debugging hostapd is simple if you run it in foreground with -dd option. Get it working before...

When you say 'hosts resolved' can you ping from client machines -IP's and domain names? for example ping .8.8.8.8 and ping google.com. What does the command resolvconf -l show on the client machine?

Here are the settings I use for an PC Engines APU2 /etc/rc.conf cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="addm igb0 addm igb1 addm igb2 addm wlan0 SYNCDHCP" wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="up mtu 1500" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap...

I'm running 10.1-RELEASE and trying to use my AR9462-based WiFi card as an 802.11n AP (5GHz or 2.4GHz, not decided yet). I can configure the SSID, I can get hostapd to authenticate and encrypt with WPA2 but I can't work out how to make it...

Don't use DHCP on an interface that's going to be the AP. There is nothing on that wireless network (you're creating it), so you can't use DHCP there.

Hostapd starts without wpa2 but doesn't start with wpa2. Have I forgotten something here? pciconf -lv for the card I'm using: rtwn0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8176 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x8211...

in 15.0, our ancient Heimdal 1.5 was replaced with MIT Kerberos. this means we now support modern key types (Heimdal was limited to aes256-sha1, and defaulted to DES), and the new libgssapi implementation provides better compatibility with...

And if I decided to follow your path, what should I do with my pkgbase-converted 14.3 machine?

Security fixes. Any fixes (except that anything cannot happen on main) are introduced into main (aka -Current), tested, then MFC(Merge From Current)'ed into latest (if the code to be fixed matches, including older) stable branch, unless it's too...

Desired outcome: I would like to be able to use the second port on my FreeBSD firewall's 10G adapter (Intel X520-DA2) to act as a switch port so that I can connect another FreeBSD system. Ideally, the secondary host would connect to the...

On 16-current/amd64 I get the expected result, not the error.

I made a subnet on my LAN, which is of 10.0.x.x. The main part of my local LAN is of 192.168.x.x. To make this subnet work for outside network services, I had to use bridge0. This is after setting up hostapd, and creating a route. My localnet...

They are insectivorous, and generally only frighten tourists, although having one drop down into the field of view from a sun visor can cause some distraction when driving. This is typical of the ones which inhabit cars. The Australian...

I don't have a way of testing it right now. In the tracer program (that calls ptrace) you could "trace" it yourself - after PT_SETREGS call PT_GETREGS and verify. Or do a "raw" test - set the pc of the debugee to 0xcafec0de and check if it...

May I ask you why you made this choice and what are the advantages? And in case I decide to follow this path, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Well, I simply chucked the drive and ordered, which will be hear tomorrow, a SanDisk 500GB portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s, USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen2, IP65 Water and Dust Resistance, Update Firmware - External Solid State Drive - SDSSDE61-500G-G25. Now...

This is why I'm tracking latest stable branch. ;) Except for upgrading ZFS pool.😅

By default the nobody account is locked out, has a non-existent home directory and has it's shell set to /usr/bin/nologin. You shouldn't be able to get a shell on that account. Don't use it as a radius account. The account can used to run...

Hello! After googling found a lot of interesting articles about 'nobody' system user. But didn't found answer for things I am interested in. I have radius authentication configured, users can telnet/ssh to my FreeBSD with radius accounts...
