Is anyone currently working on updating the Kerberos documentation in the Handbook? if so, I'd like to help. If not, I'm hoping to find someone who can get me up to speed on the FreeBSD docbook extensions :-) -T -- "The truly paranoid administrator may wish to place motion detectors in the air ducts." - Practical UNIX & Internet Security, 2nd Edition

Hi! I'm quite new to the list, but searching the archive and PRs didn't show me anything on the matter. According to FreeBSD Handbook (14.8.2 Setting up a Heimdal KDC) one should config DNS server by adding: ----- _kerberos IN TXT EXAMPLE.ORG. ----- This doesn't work. DNS servers returns: text = "EXAMPLE.ORG.". This is right, because RFC 1035 allows up to

Dear All, Over the past week or so, I have spent some time updating Tom Rhodes' excellent FreeBSD Handbook chapter on Audit for some of the more recent audit changes, such as new features in more recent OpenBSM versions. Since FreeBSD 6.2-BETA2 contains what is likely the final drop of the audit code (modulo any bug fixes) for 6.2-RELEASE, now would be a great time for people interested

``You do not want to overbuild your security or you will interfere with the detection side, and detection is one of the single most important aspects of any security mechanism. For example, it makes little sense to set the schg flag (see chflags(1)) on every system binary because while this may temporarily protect the binaries, it prevents an attacker who has broken in from making an easily

Is this book a good reference to learn R for statistical analysis ? A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R by Brian S.

(crossposted to freebsd-security just in case someone has to slap me) :) Hello, I'm doing some work with the MAC subsystem in FreeBSD, and I have spotted some errors in the MAC documentation in the handbook. 1- Section 15.14.4. Error in the example dropping users "nagios" and "www" into the insecure class. The example uses the command "pw usermod nagios -L

you guys are so friggin funny.. all i see bout problems on most providers here are users who never read a line of the handbook i could prolly solve all these eyes closed with the asterisk handbook on my side as a friend. wake up.. i work for a hosting provider and we get lots of users assuming they have it all right and us is the problem. and in fact 99% of the time they are the ones who

I will shortly be replacing a couple of proprietary VPN boxes with a FreeBSD solution. Section 10.10 of the Handbook has a detailed description of how to do this. However I remember a lot of discussion about a year ago about whether the gif interface was necessary to set up VPNs like this or whether it was just a convenience, for "getting the routing right". A number of people said

Howdy, I may be approaching this problem entirely wrong, or not. Was hoping for a little guidance one way or the other. I've got this AS/400 with gobs of unused file storage on it that I want to share across as a file server to a FreeBSD box. The AS/400 side of things supports NFS and kinda pretends to be a Unix like machine in this role. Users will be booting from diskless clients

We have replaced the simple contact management system in Asterisk@Home with SugarCRM a full CRM system. This might seem like over kill for a home PBX but Sugar has the best contact management we have seen. With click to dial functionality and the ability to import data from other contact managers it’s a great fit for Asterisk@Home. We have also added new version of the usual Asterisk software AMP

Hi, How much bandwidth do I need for 1 conversation ? I know it depends on the codecs, in X-lite I can see a codec called gsm, and the grandstream aha analog/ip converter have a codec called 721. Doc. I have found the asterisk handbook, but only a draft from marts 2003 anything newer ? Guides/howtos are welcome as well. anyone have a php interface to accounting ? /HHA

Hi everyone, As we're closing in on the time when proposals need to be written and handed in, I'd like to point out the great student guide to GSoC: https://web.archive.org/web/20150315023159/http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/# As you may notice this points to Archive.org, that is because flossmanuals seems to be currently down. That's an additional reason why I'm

At the most recent project I completed I have to post a intranet web page with instructions on using the system and phones. Asterisk is 1.07 stable and the phones are Polycom IP300, IP500, and IP600. Has anyone done an Astersik users guide? Something non-technical but covering most of the features an office worker would use. If nothing exists, should we develop this as a documentation project?

I am a newbie trying to get the most current Stable version of FreeBSD running. I have been using CVS to update my system, but things don't work after an update. For example KDE 3.1 (from KDE 3.0) doesn't start using startkde. I am looking for instructions on the best way to Install the lastest version of FreeBSD-Stable and how to Upgrade the system in the future. Thanks.

Dear All , In sysinstall , there are menu items to install packages from release DVD . In bsdinstall , there is NO such package installation menu items . Another problem is there is no any available information about this subject in the Handbook installation pages ( at least I could not find any one one ) . Is there any such available information link , and is there any possibility to include

Hi, I am starting a new job as a study analyst for a social science research unit. I would really like to use R as my main tool for data manipulation and analysis. So I'd like to ask you, if you had just one book on R to buy (or to keep), which one would it be ? I already bought the Handbook of Statistical Analysis Using R, but I'd like to have something more complete, both on the

Hello Greg, I am writing you, because I saw your responses to a couple of messages on the freebsd-security mailing list related to freebsd vpn and nat. My situations is rather unique, and I am needing an expert's eyes to glance at it and confirm whether it is doable or not. I have a simple diagram that illustrates what I am trying to do, and it is located here (about 40k):

Hello. We have a webserver using FreeBSD, we read about tunning kern.ipc.somaxconn (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-kernel-limits.html) so the OS can handle all the connections. Is there a way to know how many connections are established in a certain moment?. I know about netstat(1) but is there any other command that we can use to know the exact amount of
