similar to: freebsd-update and surces of 9.1-RC3

Hey, Due to a security issue in the moinmoin wiki software, the FreeBSD wiki will be offline for a bit. I do not yet know if the issue actually has been exploited in the FreeBSD wiki (haven't had the time yet to examine it), but I took the wiki down just in case. Note that even if the software was compromised, it was considered untrusted from the start and as such heavily sandboxed

Hello :-) I want to test new "pkg" tool, but it complains that there is no repo.txz file on the repository: # pkg install libreoffice Updating repository catalogue pkg: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/All//repo.txz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) I have set PACKAGESITE to packages-9-stable repository :-) Will this support stable

The first release candidate of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, and powerpc64. The MD5/SHA256 checksums are at the bottom of this message. The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

We are currently using cvs for both source and ports. I have begun changing to portsnap for ports, and I would also like to try changing at least some of our servers to freebsd-update. But all servers have been patched, using either RELENG_8_3 or RELENG_9_0 as cvs tag. I need to revert them to their respective RELEASE to be able to use freebsd-update. Complete reinstall from eg CD is not an

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting. Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make

Hi, Just update my 8.x kernel sources last weekend, and newly built kernel did not boot for me: link_elf: symbol mem_range_softc undefined KLD file acpi.ko - could not finalize loading kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled This is stripped down kernel with everything possible loaded from modules. Any ideas? Did not see any warnings in UPDATING... ./danfe

Hi! I've got FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/i386 server that can be reliably panicked using just 'squid -k rotatelog' command. It seems the system suffers from the problem described here: http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2010090156 I could not find any FreeBSD Security Advisory containing a fix. My server has 4G physical RAM (about 3.2G available) and runs squid (about 110M VSS) with 500

Hi! I fully understand and second efforts on educating people how to configure BIND to be stong to attacks and keep them from using "query-source address" with "port" option but how about binding named to particular IP address when host has many of them? Using "query-source address" without "port" is the only solution (not speaking of jails here) and safe

Hi! It seems /bin/sh in 4.8-STABLE has problem with SIGCHLD processing. In short, it often fails to process it correctly, zombies float around, jobs are not marked as finished in jobtab[] that fills memory and takes much CPU to be processed. Run this one-liner using /bin/sh and see hundreds of zombies: #!/bin/sh while :; do : & done A kernel will halt this as soon as it reaches limits and

Hi! I've just tried to build NanoBSD from 7.0-STABLE sources with MODULES_WITH_WORLD knob enabled and it failed. Note that NanoBSD uses make -j3 by default and I have dualcore system. ===> sys/modules/nfslockd (depend) @ -> /usr/local/src/sys machine -> /usr/local/src/sys/i386/include echo "#define INET6 1" > opt_inet6.h awk -f @/tools/vnode_if.awk @/kern/vnode_if.src

Hey guys, This is Jesse Cox (KI4JGT) I'm writing you guys today because I'm having trouble figuring out what has been going on with a programming IDE I frequent on Windows. It's ran on every version of WINE I've installed for the last 3 years. Since the upgrade of Ubuntu 11.04, WINE no longer offers the ability to run this program (JustBASIC - http://www.justbasic.com) I was

Hi, Did anyone else experience this? With 9.1-BETA1 the boot process freezes, among the last lines with verbose boot are acpi_acad0: On Line acpi_acad0: acline initialization done, tried 1 times after this, dead. What is supposed to happen in the next stage? This laptop worked fine with 9-STABLE to at least february. //per

Hi list, since we activated 10gbe on ixgbe cards + jumbo frames(9k) on 9.0 and now on 9.1 we recognize that after a random period of time, sometimes a week, sometimes only a day, the system doesn't send any packets out. The phenomenon is that you can't login via ssh, nfs and istgt is not operative. Yet you can login on the console and execute commands. A clean shutdown isn't possible

Hi, A number of FreeBSD users have displayed interest in the availability and testing of -STABLE and -CURRENT snapshot releases. I have been working on generating snapshots regularly, and now would like to announce their availability for those interested in testing. Please note, as always with the -STABLE and -CURRENT branches, these snapshots are not intended for production systems. The
