Hi! I ran into a problem with programs exec:ed by print/acroread8 picking up Linux libraries and thus failed to run. This includes the print program in the print dialogue and the browser configured in edit/preferences/internet. The reason is that the acroread launch script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is propagated to its childs. See this PR:

Hi Colin! I would like to know, that these following "vulnerabilities" does affect FreeBSD's reliability? If the answer is "yes", what version of FreeBSD affected, when will be fixed, etc. http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/MOAB-12-01-2007.html http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/MOAB-10-01-2007.html Thank you! -- kobi

I remember someone saying that compiling flac with gcc 3.0 yields a broken executable. I saw this on the Lame list that might explain the problem. I don't have a gcc 3.0 setup yet but somebody may be able to verify this... --- Alexander Leidinger <Alexander@Leidinger.net> wrote: > From: Alexander Leidinger <Alexander@Leidinger.net> > Subject: Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Lame and gcc v3.x optimization > To: mp3encoder@minnie.tuhs.org > Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2002 17:24:45 +0100 (CET) > > On 30 Jan, Yosi wrote: > > >...

Hello, I'm was looking through handbook and wikipedia and it appears FreeBSD doesn't support hardware (nor software) nx bit. There also doesn't seem to be any support for TPM (Trusted Platform Module). I was wondering if it is due to a general lack of interest and/or personal preference (gcc?) or are there other issues. The reason I'm asking is I'm currently doing a MSc degree

In my recent security email, I got the following errors: cantona.dnswatchdog.com login failures: Aug 20 02:37:19 cantona sshd[9444]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted Aug 20 04:30:42 cantona sshd[16142]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted Aug 20 21:21:51 cantona sshd[45716]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted So three questions: What is it? Should I be worried?

Hello, I have written this tiny little patch to the jail rc.d script, which allows user to set jail nice value. It doesn't change any default behaviour. Can that make it to the trees?

Hi security@ list, In my self written, large ipfw rule set, I had something that passed http to allow me to browse most but not all remote sites. For years I assumed the few sites I had difficulty with were cases pppoed MTU != 1500, from not having installed tcpmssd on my 4.*-RELEASE, but then running 6.1-RELEASE I realised that wasn't the problem. http://www.web.de Still failed, &

...them can be limited with resource limits, but not all), so hardening make would be a nice goal, but in my opinion not a goal we need to persuade today since it wouldn't buy us much. But feel free to come up with some good arguments which I haven' thought of.

Hello, I think there was already a thread on this. I just want to raise the question again if anyone has successfully booted an gdbe-encrypted filesystem (everything encrypted except the bootloader). The passphrase is entered at the bootloader prompt or embedded in the bootloader. I appreciate any tips. Thanks, - ronnel

or "How do I know my copy of FreeBSD is the same as yours?" I have recently been meditating on the issue of validating X.509 root certificates. An obvious extension to that is validating FreeBSD itself. Under "The Cutting Edge", the handbook lists 3 methods of synchronising your personal copy of FreeBSD with the Project's copy: Anonymous CVS, CTM and CVSup. There are

I have FreeBSD-6.1 and it appears the default installation has a full complement of Kerberos5. But, /usr/src/kerberos5/README states: This subtree is world-exportable, as it does not contain any cryptographic code. At the time of writing, it did not even contain source code, only Makefiles and headers. Please maintain this "exportable" status quo. Thanks!

http://wiki.freebsd.org/JailResourceLimits Is this anthing people are working on? Is it on its way to RELENG_7? Is there a 7-version of the patch or anything? This would be a _VERY_ useful feature. -- Peter Ankerst?l peter@pean.org

Hello. Has anyone here ever successfully set up a jail for X apps, connecting to an external X server? I'm trying an experimental sandbox setup here. I have a jail running on an aliased IP on my local machine and X programs connect out of the jail to my local X server via an SSH tunneled TCP connection. All other packets to and from the jail are denied by the packet filter. The trouble I am
