This patch adds TCG BIOS extensions to the high memory area along with some often-used libc utility functions. The TCG extensions are described here: https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient/TCG_PCClientImplementationforBIOS_1-20_1-00.pdf I have tried to keep the patching with rombios.c to a minimum, but some amount of code needs to be inserted at various locations. The code is

Happy Friday, List! I''m spec''ing out a Thumper-esque solution and having trouble finding my favorite Hitachi Ultrastar 2TB drives at a reasonable post-flood price. The Seagate Constellations seem pretty reasonable given the market circumstances but I don''t have any experience with them. Anybody using these in their ZFS systems and have you had good luck? Also, if

A co-worker argues we can login using only password to a "ssh-key restricted host (PasswordAuthentication no)", without being asked by any passphase; just by putting a key (no need to be the private key) on another password-based host. It that true? I do not think so. I would name that as an "important OpenSSH daemon security bug". That is because I think it is not true.

Under 2.5p2, if I ssh'd back to myself I would get a prompt asking for my passphrase, and if that was incorrect it would then ask for my password. Assuming I had a authorized_keys file with my identity.pub in it. Under 2.9.p1 it goes straight to enter password instead of asking for my passphrase. This wouldn't be a problem except that when I have "PasswordAuthentication no" I

This patch adds an implementation of the TCG BIOS extensions to the Bochs BIOS and enables logging of boot measurements using the previously implemented support for TCPA ACPI tables. A low-level driver for a TPM TIS device and an Atmel device is provided. The implemented specification is described here:

Hello everyone, I have problem with time delaying on my CentOS powered server. I have tried to set time in BIOS and in OS (with saving time to BIOS), but time still delaying, so after month is about five minutes delayed. In past I was using this box with Windows and there wasn?t this time problem, but I cant warrant, that there are no hardware issues. So I was decided, that easiest way to fix

Still have good quality older sata hardware raid cards that require 512 bytes/sector. As far as I know HD manufacturers are not making native 512 bytes/sector drives any more. Some have better 512e emulation than others. Looking for some advice on which to avoid and which are recommended. Thanks. PS this is for a CentOS6 server.

Hello everyone, I am sorry for interrupting your work I am following the correspondence in silence. I am trying to build a vtpm implementation into xen 6.2 but I was not able to find all the means to do it. What can be found is just abstract knowledge. Most of the info always forwards me to this doc

I just subscribed to this list so in case this subject has already been discussed at length, my apologies. I have been waiting for btrfs forever. I have been waiting for it to become reasonably stable. In the wake of escalating problems with my old hardware RAID setup, I decided now was the time to make the transition. At this point I have been completely transitioned to btrfs for nearly

Is it still the case that there is a kernel panic if the device(s) with the ZFS pool die? I was thinking to attach some cheap SATA disks to a system to use for nearline storage. Then I could use ZFS send/recv on the local system (without ssh) to keep backups of the stuff in the main pool. The main pool is replicated across 2 arrays on the SAN and we have multipathing and it''s quite

We recently had a disk fail on one of our whitebox (SuperMicro) ZFS arrays (Solaris 10 U9). The disk began throwing errors like this: May 5 04:33:44 dev-zfs4 scsi: [ID 243001 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,3410 at 9/pci15d9,400 at 0 (mpt_sas0): May 5 04:33:44 dev-zfs4 mptsas_handle_event_sync: IOCStatus=0x8000, IOCLogInfo=0x31110610 And errors for the drive were

Hi List All the imap sync apps I could find requires the username /password credentails to be known before a sync occurs. I have Dovecot using ldap acting as a nearline backup mail server to MS Exchange. Every hour imapsync syncs mail between Exchange and Dovecot. This all works fine becuase the users credentials are known, but when new users are added I would like the process to work

I'm interested in the idea of sharing a bunch of SAS JBOD devices between two CentOS servers in an active-standby HA cluster sort of arrangement, and found something about using scsi3 persistent reservations as a fencing method. I'm not finding a lot of specifics about how this works, or how you configure two initiator systems on a SAS chain. I don't have any suitable

While thinking about ZFS as the next generation filesystem without limits I am wondering if the real world is ready for this kind of incredible technology ... I''m actually speaking of hardware :) ZFS can handle a lot of devices. Once in the import bug (http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6761786) is fixed it should be able to handle a lot of disks. I want to

That's a great question, actually, I should have remembered to mention that! You can control what factors are used for the TPM's integrity check to release the bitlocker key on boot. Depending on whether your on a BIOS or EFI machine, there are slight differences, but definitely controllable by group policy. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706521(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_depopt3 I

My situation: I have a cable modem (COMCAST 6Mbit d/l) and am about to also have DSL (Verizon 3 Mbit d/l). I was thinking of using CentOS (4.4, 4.5, or 5??) as a router/dhcp server/firewall for my home network consisting of 3 to 6 computers at any given time. I seek the wisdom of the members of this list on the following issues: -- Is CENTOS a good direction to go? I do not mind manually

We're looking at getting an HBR (that's a technical term, honkin' big RAID). What I'm considering is, rather than chopping it up into 14TB or 16TB filesystems, of using xfs for really big filesystems. The question that's come up is: what's the state of xfs on CentOS6? I've seen a number of older threads seeing problems with it - has that mostly been resolved? How does
