Hello, I am a *nix newbie I am trying to boot a DOS boot disk using PXE (to Ghost on windows images). We have an existing PXE server which successfully serves out PXElinux and Fedora builds based on that but my floppy disk image with memdisk isn't working I have tried a few different floppy images which people have posted as ones that work for them but I doubt the disk is the problem

If I now add some sieve filter rules which put incoming mail into appropriate folders, possibly overriding what would normally result from dspam's classification, will that be seen by the antispam plugin and used for training dspam?

Hi, I am using IPFW on FreeBSD 4.11 I am facing two problems: - SSH sessions timeout after a while - When I run "/sbin/ipfw -q -f flush" in the rules script all connection get reset (and I am thrown out of the box). Is this standard functioning of ipfw or do I need to change any configuration? Thanks, Siddhartha

...eds of servers which support Windows logons thanks to the Samba integrated into Mac OS X Server. I wish I had the skills (and time) myself to implement it. It would need a fairly basic GUI and integration with Apple's Open Directory. At last we'd have Windows 7 support!

Hello.. I've asked this question before without getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to

There's been an ongoing discussion (started by Colin Percival's recent work on nologin) about environment-poisoning attacks via "login -p". I thought I saw a way to address this, but the more I learn, the uglier this looks. Maybe some of the good folks who read freebsd-security can puzzle this one out: Problem: login -p can be used to propagate environment flags in order to

Hi, This is the first time I've come across this: pid 11415 (ipfw), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) The core dump landed in root's home directory in one of my jails. Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned? chkrootkit says nothing. (How trustworthy is its output? ;-) Thanks. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@netmemetic.com> http://firewall.rulemaker.net

Hi folks, While investigating OpenBSD's cron implementation, I found that they set the systemwide crontab (a.k.a. /etc/crontab) to be readable by the superuser only. The attached patch will bring this to FreeBSD by moving crontab out from BIN1 group and install it along with master.passwd. This change should not affect the current cron(1) behavior.

I've been using ipfw for a while to create a router with NAT and packet filtering, but have never combined it with stateful filtering, instead using things like "established" to accept incoming TCP packets which are part of a conversation initiated from the "inside". I'd like to move to using keep-state/check-state to get tighter filtering and also to allow outgoing

Hi, I wanted to get some opinions on this subject before I submit a PR about it. I don't know if there are any pitfalls with the 'fix' I suggested and though it best to run it past people here before submitting. If there's a better place to post this please let me know (freebsd-ports?). The send-pr output I was about to send explains everything so I'll just paste it here:

I get this in my security postings.

But that's beside the point- I have had a perception that ttyv was for local/console logins, and that just

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the

I'm trying to run a linear mixed effects model using nlme. It appears that lme is not available for R, but looks like I should be able to run linear models using nlme. What I tryed looks something like this: fit <- nlme (Y ~ A + B + C + D, fixed=list(A,B,C,D),random=Z). This didn't work. I got this error: Error in reStruct(random, REML = REML, data = NULL) : Object must be
