Hello I have some issues with OpenBSM which i cannot resolve, so i decided to ask there. 1) I found some bugs in the auditreduce utility and created patch for it - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=114534. Please, someone from freebsd team - take it, i think its better to fix this before next release. 2) I found that when i`m using XDM as login manager with OpenBSM, all my audit

We have a reproducible problem with FreeBSD-4.7 which is apparently a deadlock. The system is undergoing a filesystem stress test. The machine is pingable, but console and most other features are unresponsive. The console debugger can be accessed. The following information is available with db's "ps". I suspect the wchan of "inode" to be what everything is waiting on.

Hi. I'd like to commit this patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/vfs_mount.c.9.patch It currently should change nothing, but will be needed once we allow to grant privileges for jails. I'd like to commit it now, so I can experiment easier with my ZFS improvements. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org

Dear all: With 7.2 approaching, I wanted to review the set of known network bug reports (especially panics, hangs, lock order reversals) relating to TCP, UDP, sockets, and routing in 7-STABLE. If you are aware of problems along these that you can confirm definitely occur with 7-STABLE checked out no earlier than 17 March, 2009, please drop me a private e-mail with a pointer to the thread,

I've had an informal, third or fourth hand report of kernel instability when running Tor under load on unidentified versions of FreeBSD. Obviously, this is a bit vague as bug reports go, but I'm interested in seeing if anyone has had real experience with this happening, and might be interested in helping to track it down. If there are kernel crashes, I'm specifically looking for

FreeBSD version: 5.1-RELEASE Hi, I'm quite new to FreeBSD. I've check list archives and read a handbook, but I didn't find solution to my problem and I hope this is not off-topic. I've installed 5.1-RELEASE, enabled ACLs on the filesystems and I wanted to test MAC features. I'm also new to MAC, so perhaps this is some my mistake. When I enable mac_biba or mac_lomac (in
