No nonodump...
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

Security updates
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

dmesg -- multiple boot messages
Today I install FreeBSD release 4.8 on a machine for the first time.
This is on a new machine so it could easily have as yet undetected
hardware faults.
I observe the 'dmesg' gives startup information not only for the latest
boot but also information generated in a number of previous boots.
I've not seen this with earlier FreeBSD realeases including 4.7.
Is it normal for FreeBSD

outdated timezone info
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For instance daylight saving time settings are outdated in Europe/Vilnius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

How can convert user expired days in human readable ?
Hello all,
On my system, some users have expire day user settings. I write a
(python) script
then parse the: 7.th selection in the master.passwd
blabla:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:1064005200:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
How can I conver the number like 1064005200 to human readable date format ?
Or, there is a way to collect the information from a command interactively ?

ipfw or ipf w/stateful behavior
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.

statically compiled files left over after a 'make world'
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

FBSD All-in-one security box?
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

Hacked or not ?
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.

Importing into rc.firewal rules
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

Kerberos 5 Security Alert?
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. See
the attached message below.

Question restricting ssh access for some users only
I've used ssh as a secure telnet up to now but done little else with
it. The FreeBSD machines I look after on our internet-facing network
all have one account which I connect to for administration. I've set
up /etc/hosts.allow on all the machines to only allow ssh from a
limited internal network range.
Now I want to create a new account on one machine which will be
accessible from the

updatedb taking too long
Hi list
For some reason mlocate is taking a long time when I run the updatedb
command. Have a look!

It's not a big volume by any means

mlocate-updatedb.timer not working?
I set this computer up with Centos 8 a few days ago.
"systemctl status mlocate-updatedb.timer" says "Active (waiting)".
But the mlocate database hasn't been updated since the last time I ran updatedb manually.

What have I missed?

exec when missing a file but service installed.
Hi all,
I am new to this list and puppet. I am working at the Rutherford
Appleton Lab and am part of a team that looks after several hundred
servers mainly running Scientific Linux (based on RedHat). I am
currently looking at puppet to be used to perform what is currently done
by kickstart scripts, with these performing an on going configuration
job once the systems are built.

get /full/path/filename.ext from filename.ext
This should be simple, but it's not, unless I'm forgetting something.
Writing a script, an arg is a filename. So
fname=$1
But I want that expanded to include the full path and filename, not just
what is given as the arg on the command line.
E.g., if the user's cwd is /home/joe/a/b/c/ and he specifies
../x/file-a.ext
then the function/utility should transform that into the

fstype=auto breaks updatedb
It turns out that if you specify filesystem type `auto' in
/etc/fstab, updatedb (the thing which updates your `locate'
database) ceases to work.
Here's the contents of my /etc/updatedb.conf:
PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net"
export PRUNEFS
export PRUNEPATHS
