similar to: SMP Proliants and Smart2 Array controllers. (Was: Proliant on a 6500)

Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to expand this to -stable and add some more info... See the original post at the bottom of this msg. I just took the Smart 2/P and put it in slot1 (one of the shared Eisa/PCI slots.) Now the Dmesg output shows the "SMP: AP CPU" lines in a different order... They were: SMP: AP CPU# 3 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 2 Launched! now

Hello, Possibly some of you will have read the news about "Hijacking a Macbook in 60 Seconds or Less"[1]. At this time I was searching a wireless card for my server and I wonder how this can affect to the combination FreeBSD+ath(4). The ath_hal page states that FreeBSD use a binary driver and I think it is located in this file[2]. Unlike OpenBSD which affirms that they have

On a FreeBSD 5.0 the behaviour of screen when connecting to other users sessions have changed. Previously: 1. login as userA start a screen as userA and disconnect 2. login as root su - userA "screen -r" 3. result failure as userA cant access the ttyX with such a message Current: 1. login as userA start a screen as userA and disconnect 2. login as root su - userA "screen -r" 3.

We have a number of Soekris devices that we will be deploying remotely in semi- hostile physical environments. The remote links are dialup so I dont have a lot of bandwidth available. I want to do integrity checks of the images so that I can detect any tampering of the flash image. If I upload a static sha256 binary to /tmp on the remote box (which is a RAM disk) and then do something

I had originally mentioned this only to 2 people, which was Jordan K. Hubbard and Paul Henning-Kemp, but since I have received a lot of queries on this, I thought I might as well post it on the FreeBSD announce groups. Included below is a posting done on the Linux-atm mailing group, by Pragnesh Sampat. I have just adapted for FreeBSD. RV -------------------------- Announcement

Howdy! I'm not sure if this is actually an issue, feature or a bug, but I have found that inside a jail, the jailed root user is able to sniff traffic (and enable promiscuous mode) on at least the interface of the IP address the jail is attached to. I have not found any documentation explaining if this should occur or not, but I feel it is something that should at least be known to those

Hi, I'm pondering building my own SSL accelerator out of a multi-CPU FreeBSD system and a crypto accelerator. What's the recommended hardware crypto accelerator card these days? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org Today's chance of throwing it all away to start a goat farm: 49.1% http://www.BlackHelicopters.org/~mwlucas/

Although RAW sockets can be used when specifying the source address of packets (defeating one of the aspects of the jail) some people may find it usefull to use utilities like ping(8) or traceroute(8) from inside jails. Enclosed is a patch I have written which gives you the option of allowing prison-root to create raw sockets inside the prison, so

I have a FreeBSD box acting as a firewall and NAT gateway I would like to set it up to transparently pass IPSec packets -- I have an IPSec VPN client running on another machine, connecting to a remote network. Is there a way to do this? I can't find any hints in the man pages.

Hello, I?m in the process of migrating a mail server to new hardware. At the same time, I?ve made the decision to switch from courier to dovecot (v2.2.13) and from what I have seen so far I?m pretty happy. I have two questions for the list. I?d like my users mailboxes (Maildir format) to look like this: Inbox UserCreatedSubFolder1 UserCreatedSubFolder2 ? Sent

I have a grown list of IPs that I am "deny ip from ###.### to any". Infected machines, hackers, etc.. Is there a way to have this list outside of rc.firewall and just read it in?

Hello All. I've just started looking into Xen and have a test environment in place. I'm seeing an annoying problem that I thought worthy of a post. Config: I have 2 x HP DL585 servers each with 4 Dual core Opterons (non-vmx) and 16GB RAM configured as Xen servers. These run CentOS 5.1 with the latest updates applied. These system both attach to an iSCSI target which is an HP DL385

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

Hello, Does anyone have bonding working under CentOS on a modern Proliant? What driver do you use? My setup: Centos x86_64 4.3 fully patched on a Proliant DL380 G4. 2 built-in NICs: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) Using the tg3 driver that came with the OS. I'm trying to set up bonding between the 2 built-in Broadcom NICs in active-backup mode with each NIC

hi guys does anybody here runs on HPE ProLiant? I was hoping you can tell whether HPE support Linux Vendor Firmware Service and you actually get to upgrade ProLiants' BIOS/firmware via fwupdmgr? many thanks, L.

Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>

Howdy all. We're experiencing some difficulties encountered from a new build/install world/kernel on a Compaq Proliant machine we have. We were running fine under 4.7-STABLE, and updated the sources to 4.8-STABLE last night (5/8/03), built and installed. This morning after a reboot, we got a horrid error to the likes of: Error mounting root. Error no 22. We encountered this error earlier
