Hi! I've got FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/i386 server that can be reliably panicked using just 'squid -k rotatelog' command. It seems the system suffers from the problem described here: http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2010090156 I could not find any FreeBSD Security Advisory containing a fix. My server has 4G physical RAM (about 3.2G available) and runs squid (about 110M VSS) with 500

Hi. I have created some zfs-partitions. First I create the home/user-partitions. Beneath that I create additional partitions. Then I have do a chown -R for that user. These partitions are shared using the sharenfs=on. The owner- and group-id is 1009. These partitions are visible as the user assigned above. But when I mount the home/user partition from a FreeBSD-client, only the top-partiton has

Hi. I have installed php5 with support for postgresql (php5-pgsql). If I install postgresql-client ver. 8.2.7 or 8.3.x apache (httpd) core-dumps. If I install postgresql-client 8.1.11 or 8.2.6 apache does not core-dump. This is the output (backtrace) from gdb: (gdb) bt #0 0x000000080651c340 in ??

Hi. I'm looking at deploying a freebsd 7-release server with some storage attached to an areca ARC-1680 controller. But this card is not mentioned in 'man 4 arcmsr' (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=arcmsr&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE). Areaca's website does mention freebsd as a supported OS (http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcietosas1680series.htm). Has

Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I''m not allowed to do so. I''m coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus

Hi. Just migrated to zfs on opensolaris. I copied data to the server using rsync and got this message: Oct 10 17:24:04 zetta ^Mpanic[cpu1]/thread=ffffff0007f1bc80: Oct 10 17:24:04 zetta genunix: [ID 683410 kern.notice] BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=ffffff0007f1b640 addr=fffffffecd873000 Oct 10 17:24:04 zetta unix: [ID 100000 kern.notice] Oct 10 17:24:04 zetta unix: [ID 839527 kern.notice]

Hello, I have a FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE amd64 box which gives this message with apache 2.2 very often. Previously the contents of the box was on 6.3-STABLE x86 and I had no such problems.

Hi. I''m all set for doing performance comparsion between Solaris/ZFS and FreeBSD/ZFS. I spend last few weeks on FreeBSD/ZFS optimizations and I think I''m ready. The machine is 1xQuad-core DELL PowerEdge 1950, 2GB RAM, 15 x 74GB-FC-10K accesses via 2x2Gbit FC links. Unfortunately the links to disks are the bottleneck, so I''m going to use not more than 4 disks, probably.

Any information on when (or if) the following timestamp vulnerability will be fixed for 4.X? Any information would be appreciated. http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/637934 Thanks. Richard Coleman rcoleman@criticalmagic.com

This is the first time I tried nfs with zfs. I shared the zfs filesystem with nfs, but i can''t write to the files though i mount it as read-write. This is for Solaris 10 update 4.

I'm setting up a server where I plan to use Jails to improve security I also have installed and am configuring ipfilter. Here are my questions: Because I'm using Jails, I will have to have multiple ip aliases on the network interface. I will use ipfilter to specify what can go to each of the addresses. (e.g., allow only incoming to port 80 on the jail running apache). Another

Hi. I installed solaris express developer edition (b79) on a supermicro quad-core harpertown E5405 with 8 GB ram and two internal sata-drives. I installed solaris onto one of the internal drives. I added an areca arc-1680 sas-controller and configured it in jbod-mode. I attached an external sas-cabinet with 16 sas-drives 1 TB (931 binary GB). I created a raidz2-pool with ten disks and one spare.

I'm thinking of using jails to improve security on a server I am setting up. Specifically, I would like to put Apache/PHP in a jail, but I might like to set up 2-3 different jails for different purposes. I've found several examples showing how to set the jails up. My questions involve system requirements. Assuming plenty of disk space, 1GB ram and a dual processor PIII 1.13Ghz

Hello security gurus, yesterday, I mistakenly posted a question on the questions list about this article : http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13676/info/ which talks about a form of DOS vulnerability. I was curious as to the possibility of FreeBSD 5.x being affected, and if anyone was working on this or not. Ted Mittelstaedt posted this possible patch based upon the OpenBSD patch : in

hi is there any way to build 4.8 release with this fstack protection? or atleast some ports is there any good info on this? the only page i found was that ibm page but it seemed outdated. //martin

I was wondering if there's any non-executable stack patch for FreeBSD's kernel. I searched in google but all I got was some questions in freebsd-security back from 2001 and an answer saying someone heard about a project like this, but no information at all. Is there any patch like PaX or Openwall available for FreeBSD? I dont want to discuss if its useless or not since there're a
