I'm curious about the estimated EoL date on 6.2-RELEASE. Current estimate is listed as Jan 31 2008. That's just about 5 months away now. Suggestions for those who are about to be EoL'ed? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to do model autocalibration using the snow and rgenoud packages. The function I want to run in task-parallel fashion across multiple machines is one that pre- and post-processes data and runs an external model code. My problem is that external file I/O is happening only in the master node and not in the slaves. I have followed Jasjeet Sekhon's suggestion to test the

550.ipfwlimit check in /etc/periodic/security takes into account only global/default verbosity limit and does not account for a specific logging limit set for a particular rule e.g.: $ ipfw -a l | fgrep log 65000 *521* 41764 deny log logamount *1000* ip from any to any $ sysctl -n net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit *100* >From security run output: ipfw log limit reached: 65000 519

Hello, After getting help to solve part of my problem and some delay on my part, I am posting a more refined version to see if someone can help me further. I am trying to autocalibrate a model in my subject area using the snow and rgenoud packages. I want to use the key function "fn" that is called by genoud() to finalize input, run the model executable, and compute the objective

Hi, during some big discussions in the last monts on various lists, one of the problems was that some people would like to use freebsd-update but can't as they are using a custom kernel. With all the kernel modules we provide, the need for a custom kernel should be small, but on the other hand, we do not provide a small kernel-skeleton where you can load just the modules you need.

Hi! I ran into a problem with programs exec:ed by print/acroread8 picking up Linux libraries and thus failed to run. This includes the print program in the print dialogue and the browser configured in edit/preferences/internet. The reason is that the acroread launch script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is propagated to its childs. See this PR:

Collaborative Fusion has a number of positions we're hoping to fill in the near future. Specifically, there is an opening in the systems group. My understanding is that we're looking for an entry-level sysadmin who would help manage our growing network of FreeBSD servers. Locality to Pittsburgh, PA is a plus, but I've a feeling we could make allowances for the right person (can't

Hello, I have several systems which I recently updated with yum -y update to all the latest packages. These systems use yum-priorities and use the CentOS (priority 1) EPEL (priority 5) and rpmforge (priority 10) repositories. After the updates, dhcpd stopped working with a SIGPIPE error which occurs shortly after it attempts to fork into the background. I worked around that problem by building

Hello, I'm was looking through handbook and wikipedia and it appears FreeBSD doesn't support hardware (nor software) nx bit. There also doesn't seem to be any support for TPM (Trusted Platform Module). I was wondering if it is due to a general lack of interest and/or personal preference (gcc?) or are there other issues. The reason I'm asking is I'm currently doing a MSc degree

In my recent security email, I got the following errors: cantona.dnswatchdog.com login failures: Aug 20 02:37:19 cantona sshd[9444]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted Aug 20 04:30:42 cantona sshd[16142]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted Aug 20 21:21:51 cantona sshd[45716]: fatal: Write failed: Operation not permitted So three questions: What is it? Should I be worried?

Hello, I have written this tiny little patch to the jail rc.d script, which allows user to set jail nice value. It doesn't change any default behaviour. Can that make it to the trees?

Hi security@ list, In my self written, large ipfw rule set, I had something that passed http to allow me to browse most but not all remote sites. For years I assumed the few sites I had difficulty with were cases pppoed MTU != 1500, from not having installed tcpmssd on my 4.*-RELEASE, but then running 6.1-RELEASE I realised that wasn't the problem. http://www.web.de Still failed, &

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

or "How do I know my copy of FreeBSD is the same as yours?" I have recently been meditating on the issue of validating X.509 root certificates. An obvious extension to that is validating FreeBSD itself. Under "The Cutting Edge", the handbook lists 3 methods of synchronising your personal copy of FreeBSD with the Project's copy: Anonymous CVS, CTM and CVSup. There are

I have FreeBSD-6.1 and it appears the default installation has a full complement of Kerberos5. But, /usr/src/kerberos5/README states: This subtree is world-exportable, as it does not contain any cryptographic code. At the time of writing, it did not even contain source code, only Makefiles and headers. Please maintain this "exportable" status quo. Thanks!

http://wiki.freebsd.org/JailResourceLimits Is this anthing people are working on? Is it on its way to RELENG_7? Is there a 7-version of the patch or anything? This would be a _VERY_ useful feature. -- Peter Ankerst?l peter@pean.org
