I'm not sure where else to ask about this, so please excuse me if this is the wrong forum. In trying to remove a 'nodump' flag on a directory with the 'chflags' command I have noticed that the 'nonodump' flag does not function. I see an open PR for the problem: o [2003/01/09] i386/46912 johan chflags nonodump fails I was wondering when this might be dealt with? Else is

Hallo. I am new to FreeBSD and i wanted to ask something since systems security is what interests me the most. Does freebsd have an automated update system like redhat has ? Also where can i find a list with patches for all local - remote holes and bugs of FreeBSD 4.9 ? Thank you very much for your time ! Best Regards A. Stamatis

Why there is a weekly script that rebuilds the locate database when: >>> WARNING >>> Executing updatedb as root. This WILL reveal all filenames >>> on your machine to all login users, which is a security risk. Is there a way to put dates on the periodic scripts report output for those who redirect the reports to files instead of mail messages? There is no easy

Just upgraded 4.7 to 4.8 stable. Hoped that timezone info will be up to date, but it still isn't though files in /usr/share/zoneinfo show new dates. For instance daylight saving time settings are outdated in Europe/Vilnius file. I'll try to recompile those files from sources got fom ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ but it would be nice to have updated info for the next release of freebsd or

Hi, first i must tell you, that my english is not the best, i hav learned my english from manpages and documentation. Please excuse this. I have setted up a Box w/FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE for connecting to the w3 through an DSL/ATM-Connection. Now i know the stateful handling of firewall-rules under linux with iptables.In the second i have understand that FreeBSD comes with the netfilter-extensions.

Hello, I recently did a 'make world' to update my base system due to the realpath bug. After that finished, I noticed that I still had the following statically compiled binaries laying around that did not get updated during a 'make world'. I track 4-STABLE. /usr/bin/miniperl /sbin/mount_kernfs /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/modunload /sbin/modload /sbin/ft /stand/boot_crunch /stand/find

Hey *, as I sweat through another day of crap dealing with an all-in-one box (firewall, IDS, AVS, report generating, soon to be a VPN server) I'm wondering if someone has started a project to put some freeware together in some semblance of sanity on a FBSD box. There's basically nothing that this box does that a combo of IPFW (or another bsd filter), snort, ntop, and some other freeware

Hi, I have a 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD box apparently hacked! Yesterday I ran chkrootkit-0.41 and I don't like some of the outputs. Those are: chfn ... INFECTED chsh ... INFECTED date ... INFECTED ls ... INFECTED ps ... INFECTED But all the rest is NOT PROMISC, NOT INFECTED, NOTHING FOUND, NOTHING DELETED, or NOTHING DETECTED. I know by the FreeBSD-Security archives that

Hi. I have a question related to freebsd opie implementation. I am running 4.9-RELEASE and I've tried to setup opie. *** 1 *** opiepasswd/opiekey I've added user using `opiepasswd -c "ssa"` mx2# opiepasswd -c "ssa" Adding ssa: Only use this method from the console; NEVER from remote.

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?

I'm having trouble getting my iPod working under Centos 4. I was hoping someone else using their iPod with Centos 4 could shed some light on this.

Hello all, I have problems with enabling support for SMBus on STABLE. My motherboard is ICH3 (82801CA). As suggested in LINT I added 3 lines to my kernel config: device smbus device ichsmb device smb But after compiling, installing and rebooting /dev/smb[01] are not available and no changes in kernel startup messages either.

I'm working with a FreeBSD user -- a teacher -- who's running KDE on a system on which she neither has nor wants root privileges. She wants to be able to mount and unmount floppies and ZIP cartridges from within KDE, using the standard KwikDisk utility (which, by the way, generates mount and unmount command that don't conform to FreeBSD syntax; however, it appears possible to fix this

Why wasn't there a FreeBSD security alert for Kerberos 5? Does FreeBSD use the MIT implementation? I got an email from CERT about this.
